Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1476 - 1037: Pleasant?

Seconds later, Reiger released his fingers from Yarad’s forehead.

"Just as I thought."

Having read Yarad’s memories, Reiger wore an unsurprised expression, prompting Melo, who had returned his sword, and Naisa, who was holding her staff, to step forward.

"How is it, Your Excellency?"

"Was it his doing?"

Melo and Naisa asked successively.

"It was him," Reiger said flatly, "he had long been in cooperation with those abyss followers from the Dark Relief Center. Whether it’s the guest house prepared for us or the late arrival of the Libion Duchy’s army, it was all his doing behind the scenes."

Upon hearing this, Melo revealed a hate-filled expression.

"It really was him; I just felt that the Dark Relief Center’s attack went too smoothly."

Melo truly wished to cut off Yarad’s head with a sword.

If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have faced such humiliation.

If it weren’t for Your Excellency’s extraordinary skills, they might have already committed an unforgivable mistake, a mistake so grave that no amount of redemption could amend.

"Damn it!"

Melo’s words were also what Naisa wanted to say.

Whether it’s Reiger, the savior, or Holy Sword Marfa, they are entities the Holy Sword Church must protect.

As a result, because of Yarad, the inside informant, she was nearly derelict in her duties.

If it really ended up like that, how could she ever face the Holy Sword Church again? How could she face the generations of Popes of the Holy Sword Church?

"Since it’s confirmed that this person is a collaborator with the abyss followers, shouldn’t we execute him on the spot now?"

Naisa looked at Yarad with evident hostility.

"..."

Faced with Melo and Naisa, the two murderous women, Yarad no longer reacted as intensely as before; instead, he kneeled there blankly, looking soulless.

This was due to the severe brain damage caused by Reiger’s violent memory reading, as well as Reiger’s use of [Transmutation] to alter the shape of his soul.

At a glance, Yarad seemed human, but within him lay a horrifying scene, not even qualifying as a living organism.

Such a Yarad had already lost the intellect a person should have, worse off than those modified humans once controlled by a true person.

At least those modified humans had self-awareness, whereas Yarad had none.

Of course, in some ways, this might be a fortunate thing?

After all, being a living dead is better than becoming a monstrous modified human.

Glancing at the state of Yarad, Reiger shook his head.

"Just as I expected, this man already has a deep connection with the Dark Relief Center. If he suddenly dies, those abyss followers at the Dark Relief Center will surely know their affairs have been exposed."

If Reiger guessed correctly, the people at the Dark Relief Center likely planned to use Yarad’s power for their bidding.

Firstly, Yarad is the highest commander of the Libion Duchy; with the King sick, he’s arguably the person with the highest status in the country. If someone could control him, the entire Libion Duchy could be made use of by the Dark Relief Center, so they would surely value Yarad greatly and not let him go easily.

Secondly, Yarad himself is only a step away from the gem rank of a saint, on the same level as the dark, even if he doesn’t match the strange abyss techniques he can use, he’s still a strong and powerful assistant. The Dark Relief Center will work hard to keep him tethered to their side, maybe even making him one of them.

Thirdly, Reiger also looked at the scroll recording the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, so he believes the Dark Relief Center might want to use Yarad to offer Libion Duchy to the abyss, summoning an abyss army into this world through a large-scale Blood Sacrifice Ceremony.

Yarad thought the dark handed him the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony to fulfill their prearranged promise to help him ascend to a saint, but Reiger is sure those abyss followers wouldn’t be so kind.

Reiger paged through Yarad’s memories and experienced the Dark Relief Center’s leader—darkness—through his perspective.

Under such circumstances, Reiger more or less understood what kind of person darkness is.

He’s a wicked person who would use any power, any resources, any means to achieve his goals.

Different from Ryomensukuna’s evil, which personally wrecks everything, darkness’ evil mainly embodies in methods.

Perhaps, he wouldn’t actively create too much slaughter, but to achieve his goals, he would surely force others to undertake excessive slaughter and degrade them into becoming his pawns.

Therefore, Reiger is sure that this Blood Sacrifice Ceremony is also rigged.

If Yarad carries out what’s written on the scroll, not only would he fail in becoming a saint, but he would also end up serving the Dark Relief Center.

In conclusion, Yarad still holds considerable value for the Dark Relief Center, and they are surely watching him, always attentive to his movements.

If Yarad dies, the Dark Relief Center’s people would surely know about it and realize their plan might have been compromised.

Then, they might take the next step and plot again.
