Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1515 - 1061: You Don’t Even Have a Grave

Is he anxious?

Of course he is!

The shadow appearing here is none other than the very darkness threatened moment by moment!

More specifically, the shadow is an illusion left by the darkness in Orus, akin to a consciousness-projection avatar, but this avatar is very fragile, lacking any magic power or combat capability, unable to form a complete human body, its role much like the intelligence magic such as [Eye of the God], helping the darkness to investigate something.

Originally, the darkness left such an avatar in Orus just to monitor Yarad.

In his plan, even though Yarad had mostly lost his usefulness, he could still be used to arrange a blood sacrifice ceremony, offering up the entire Libion Duchy as a sacrifice to the Abyss, which would bring numerous benefits.

If Yarad carried out a blood sacrifice ceremony in the Libion Duchy as he envisioned, the final outcome of this blood sacrifice ceremony would be his.

Yarad Keset would never know that the blood sacrifice ceremony given to him by the darkness was actually missing one final key step.

As long as this key step was in the hands of darkness, once Yarad activated the blood sacrifice ceremony, he would discover that the ceremony would no longer be under his control after sacrificing the entire Libion Duchy.

At that time, the darkness, holding the final control of the blood sacrifice ceremony, would be able to use this large-scale offering power to achieve his own goals.

These goals can be various.

Such as Yarad Keset imagined, transcending the Supreme Saint realm, gaining immense power.

Like the Abyss followers who had sacrificed a nation in the past, opening a passage to the Abyss, allowing the Abyss army to descend on the source.

Or directly summoning a vast number of abyssal creatures, making them his summoned beings under his command.

Even, using the power of the ceremony to unleash an attack far surpassing strategic-level magic, slaughtering all enemies above the ground.

The blood sacrifice ceremony is so potent that even if the plan to attack Reiger failed, darkness still didn’t give up on Yarad, abandon Orus, or abandon the Libion Duchy, instead setting up a scheme here.

He actually set up quite a few similar schemes, just none as effective as this one.

After all, Yarad is the highest commander in the Libion Duchy, and with the King severely ill and unable to govern, he is the supreme authority in this duchy, with virtually no one able to oppose him.

He wields immense power in this country, with astounding influence, and his personal strength is also extraordinarily formidable, if he wishes, arranging a blood sacrifice ceremony in the Libion Duchy would be easier and stealthier than anyone else.

Such a high-status, powerful chess piece is a rarity, and darkness naturally doesn’t want to easily abandon it.

Never imagined, the backup plan he left behind had to be hurriedly used within a few days.

Learning of the main body’s predicament, the avatar had no choice but to appear before Yarad, urging him to activate the blood sacrifice ceremony immediately.

However, his urgency, his panic, naturally raised Yarad’s doubts, greatly reducing the persuasion effect.

But what could he do?

The main body might die at any time, he couldn’t care less, seeing Yarad gazing at him quietly, his voice turned cold.

"I warn you, Yarad Keset, you have no choice."

The avatar directly tore up the façade, issuing a threat.

"From the moment you contacted and even cooperated with us, you’ve already been marked as a follower of the Abyss!"

"You think after achieving the goal you can shake us off and continue being the highest commander under one yet above millions?"

"No! As soon as your contact and cooperation with us is exposed, the Libion Duchy, knowing you dared to harm the savior, will immediately become your first enemy, abandoning you."

The avatar’s words came out urgently and rapidly.

"..."

Yarad fell into silence.

Seeing this, thinking Yarad’s lifeline was held, the avatar’s tone finally softened somewhat.

"Don’t blame me for being blunt, Yarad, my friend, at least I will be your best partner, helping you to achieve your greatest desires."

"I can see, you don’t actually value power, you truly value your own strength, that is good, really. In this world, apart from your own strength, there’s nothing else worth trusting."

"Strength will never betray you, and as long as you have strength, power and status are just things you can easily obtain."

"The various races and forces in the source reject us Abyss followers, yet we still live well, acting as we wish. Being bound in a country like you, that is not freedom."

The avatar continued persuading Yarad with his urgent and fast tone.

"Activate the blood sacrifice ceremony."

"Once you activate the blood sacrifice ceremony, you are free."

"When you become a saint, you can enjoy the same treatment as that savior, with beautiful princesses serving you, sacred saints at your disposal, and no matter how beautiful, you can obtain attendant girls and attendants."
