Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1474 - 1036: Well... Learned Something New

Chapter 1474: Chapter 1036: Well... Learned Something New

"Live... or die?"

Even as his heart was filled with negative emotions, a droplet of cold sweat trickled down Yarad’s pale face.

Of course, he didn’t want to die.

If possible, he would rather see the young man before him... no, the three people in front of him all drop dead.

He didn’t care if the other person was a savior, or if the Source World would be saved because of them; anyone who wanted his life had to die.

But Yarad was very clear that this was merely a delusion.

At least, resentment and imagination alone were useless.

"... No matter what, I am the supreme commander of the Libion Duchy. With the King seriously ill now, my status is even higher than that of a royal family member."

"The people adore me greatly and hope that I will become the first saint in the nation’s history."

"Do you dare to kill me?"

Yarad spoke these words with a feigned bravado, as he cradled his broken arm and slowly stepped back.

"The supreme commander of the Libion Duchy?" Melo finally spoke, sarcastically saying: "Even if you were a king of a major nation, having touched the forbidden Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, you wouldn’t escape death."

"But you have no evidence to prove that." Yarad forced a smile: "Even if you take the scroll recording the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony out and tell the world it’s mine, I would never admit it."

"As long as I don’t admit it, you have no way to convict me unilaterally. I can always claim that you’re slandering me."

"In that case, even if you’re the empire’s princess or the church’s Pope, the Libion Duchy won’t choose to believe you but will choose to believe me."

"After all, I am the hope of this country, not you."

These words were pure sophistry.

Perhaps if Yarad insisted on not admitting it, the Libion Duchy might consider him innocent, a victim of conspiracy. Yet, one mustn’t forget about Reiger and Naisa being here.

"With you, the savior present, as long as you speak a word, do you think the people of the Source World would prefer to believe you or him?"

Melo sneered as she spoke.

Needless to say, the savior was the faith of the Source World. With Reiger testifying, given the people’s enthusiastic reception toward him, even the people of the Libion Duchy would have many who are willing to believe his testimony.

"And me." Naisa said expressionlessly: "As the Pope of the Holy Sword Church, I can still represent the church and publicly accuse you of your crimes."

The mission of the Holy Sword Church is to protect the holy sword.

The existence of the holy sword is the lifeline of the current Source World.

Without the holy sword sealing the abyss, and without the holy sword deterring the abyssal creatures, the Source World might have already fallen.

Therefore, the Holy Sword Church holds a position equivalent to the Guardian of the world in the Source World, absolutely standing on the legitimate official stance of the Source World.

As the Pope of the Holy Sword Church, if Naisa stood up to accuse Yarad, no one would doubt the authenticity of such a testimony.

Whether it was Reiger or Naisa, both represent the Source World itself, with no entangled interests with the Libion Duchy.

Thus, even if not everyone believed their accusation, at least ninety-nine percent would, and the rest would be half-skeptical.

Yarad couldn’t possibly be unaware of this.

"Are you stalling for time?" Reiger asked with interest, watching Yarad retreat slowly. "Do you have some trump card to turn the tables?"

"If you do, you can use it now."

"I’ll give you a chance to use it."

Upon hearing this, Yarad’s face remained ashen, but a bizarre smile appeared on his face.

"You will pay for your arrogance, young savior."

With that, Yarad suddenly threw something towards Reiger.

"...!"

Seeing this, Melo and Naisa reacted sharply; one raised her longsword while the other immediately shot out a streak of light, striking the object.

"Bang!"

The light easily struck down the object, destroying it, but just before its destruction, Melo and Naisa realized that it was nothing more than an ordinary gold coin.

And the moment Yarad threw the coin, he turned and dashed towards the door without looking back.

Melo and Naisa realized that they had been deceived by Yarad’s bluff.

"Swish!"

Just as the two women felt incensed and were about to give chase, and Yarad was about to crash through the door and escape, an astonishing gravitational force acted upon him, pulling his body uncontrollably backward.

Reiger remained seated, unmoved, extending a hand forward. The cerulean spell light flickered as he activated the [Azure] technique, pulling Yarad back.

Before Yarad could react, he was drawn before Reiger, about to collide with him.

In response, Reiger simply gestured to the side, and the gravitational force acting on Yarad immediately changed direction, hurling him aside.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Yarad crashed heavily into the wall, shattering it.

Amid the flying rubble, the barrier set up in the room was triggered, manifesting proactively, causing a transparent shield to appear within the wall.
