Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1450 - 1021: Acting as a Meat Shield? What a Waste

Chapter 1450: Chapter 1021: Acting as a Meat Shield? What a Waste

A sudden crisis was resolved so simply.

Anyone can imagine, if the infected person just now remained on the Sphinx, there would definitely be a grand hunting attack aimed at Reiger in the future.

No, even now, one cannot say that the grand hunting attack targeting Reiger is no longer possible.

"Bishop Luan, Bishop Andre, please organize a purification ritual with all the clergy currently on the floating Magic-guided Battleship."

"The means of the abyss have been known for their eeriness since ancient times. Even if we have eradicated the infected, we cannot be sure if any issues will remain."

"So, you two handle this immediately."

With cold eyes, Naisa watched as Melo beheaded the enemy with a sword, then turned to look at the two bishops behind her, giving orders.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two bishops immediately received the instruction and went to prepare.

"You too, burn the body on the spot, no one is allowed to approach or contact it. Maintain a state of alert; this alert state cannot be lifted before the Sphinx lands."

As Melo sheathed his sword, he issued orders to the surrounding knights.

"Yes, Your Highness."

All the knights, including the two Knight Captains riding flying creatures, accepted the orders.

"Whoosh!"

The Marfa’s Sword, which had been flying in mid-air, suddenly returned, landing in Reiger’s hand, trembling slightly as if seeking praise from Reiger.

"Alright, I know you’re impressive, okay?"

Reiger tapped the blade of Marfa’s Sword, then sheathed the Holy Sword, and turned his gaze back to the so-called infected person.

"Is this what an infected person, polluted and eroded by the Abyssal Aura, looks like?"

Reiger spoke.

The Abyssal Aura, as the name suggests, is a kind of aura that exists only in the abyss.

Just like how there is omnipresent air in the human world, in the abyss, there is also omnipresent atmosphere, which is the Abyssal Aura.

For abyssal beings, the Abyssal Aura is no different from air, not surprising, but for beings from the source, the Abyssal Aura is highly toxic, or even a terrifying virus.

People contaminated with the Abyssal Aura not only experience various physical discomforts but their spirit also becomes abnormal, ultimately becoming enraged individuals physically and mentally polluted, becoming puppets that can be manipulated at will by abyssal beings, losing their freedom entirely.

This is not the scariest part yet.

The most terrifying aspect of the Abyssal Aura is that once it invades the human body, it is completely undetectable.

It roots deeper than anywhere a virus can reach within the body and spirit, and unless it erupts, the person polluted and eroded by it might live normally without noticing any problem until death.

As for others, unless they see the eruption of the Abyssal Aura with their own eyes, seeing the infected person going mad, they can neither detect the presence of the Abyssal Aura, nor know who around them has become infected.

The silver-tier knight before them evidently managed to board this floating Magic-guided Battleship because of this.

"This is one of the scariest aspects of the abyss."

Naisa spoke up after seeing Reiger fixated on the corpse on the ground.

"Even if the Source has battled the abyss multiple times and has been developing methods to detect the infected for a long, long time, neither we humans nor those more powerful races in history have managed to do so."

"However, the abyssal beings and the abyss’ followers can control the Abyssal Aura to control a person effortlessly."

"With such means, it’s needless to say about abyssal beings, even those abhorrent abyss followers can easily infiltrate various powers and races, spreading their tentacles across the entire world."

Just after Naisa finished speaking, Melo, who had sheathed the sword, continued.

"In the Source, no matter which power or race, there’s always the possibility of the infected controlled by the abyss being present internally."

"So even if we are as cautious as can be, we couldn’t avoid having the infected infiltrate the floating Magic-guided Battleship."

"Fortunately, there is Lord Marfa beside us this time, otherwise, my guilt would be immense."

If there’s any power in the Source where it’s least likely to have infected individuals, not manipulated puppets polluted by the abyss, it can only be the Holy Sword Church.

Because the Holy Sword Church has the Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword is currently the only known power that can be considered the natural enemy of the abyss’ nature.

In the presence of the Holy Sword, as long as its Holy Light shines, any kind of abyss power will have nowhere to hide.

Therefore, the Holy Sword Church fully opens the sword hall, hosting a prayer ceremony every month, allowing anyone to enter the sword hall for prayer regularly.

The biggest purpose of doing so is to identify infected individuals polluted and eroded by the Abyssal Aura.

Individuals of significant standing like Melo, the imperial princess, must organize an event to enter the sword hall for prayer regularly to check if they have become infected.

If they have, Naisa and other high-ranking members of the Holy Sword Church will then immediately take measures, either apprehending or executing them, or praying to the Holy Sword to expel the Abyssal Aura.

"Unfortunately, he couldn’t hold on, otherwise with Marfa’s power he might have been saved, right?"
