"Die!"
With a furious roar that made his veins bulge, Kibutsuji Muzan leaped high up, wielding a powerful whip-like weapon, descending from above alongside the crocodile dragon, both aiming a final strike at Reiger, who lay in tatters in the pit below.
On one side, several whip-like cables twisted together, forming a drill-like thick whip, fiercely stabbing downward.
On the other side, sharp claws split the air and rain, hurling down with a fierce wind.
This rciless strike undoubtedly aid to take a life.
From the hatred in Kibutsuji Muzan and the crocodile dragon’s eyes, and their satisfaction at imminent revenge, anyone could perceive the authenticity of their emotions.
If there were others familiar with the situation here witnessing all this, they would certainly harbor doubts, right?
Doubt whether Kibutsuji Muzan and the crocodile dragon had truly crawled back from hell, once killed by Reiger and now resurrected, determined to exact revenge at all costs.
Contrarily, Reiger himself, facing this life-threatening scenario, was not alard but rather smiling.
"Domain Expansion..."
At an unknown ti, Reiger’s hand, weakly hanging to the ground, ford a blade seal.
"[Infinite Void]."
In that mont, the world changed.
"Buzz—"
Centered around Reiger, an abyssal darkness like the cosmic space engulfed the world, spreading like a tide in all directions.
The curtain of rain vanished instantly.
The square disappeared in an instant.
The heavens and earth were filled with space-like darkness, rendering Kibutsuji Muzan and the fierce crocodile dragon, descending from the sky, as if thrown into outer space, suspended in mid-air, unable to fall.
The sneer on Kibutsuji Muzan’s face and the ferocity in the crocodile dragon’s eyes also froze.
"Rumble..."
A gigantic black hole unknowingly appeared in this expanse, towering behind everyone.
Infinite power seed contained within that massive black hole, making anyone who saw it tremble with fear.
The black hole seed capable of devouring everything, hiding sothing horrific within, causing dread.
In this realm, Kibutsuji Muzan and the crocodile dragon’s thoughts spiraled into endless chaos.
Because, at this second, countless chaotic information flooded into their brains, crashing them into a state akin to a breakdown.
Thoughts were possible, but at an extrely sluggish pace.
Consciousness existed, but so blurred they couldn’t comprehend their plight.
A demon and a beast could only stare wide-eyed, static and powerless.
In contrast, Reiger stood up shakily at an unknown mont.
"Originally, I thought so deadly ability was triggered by rain as a dium, but now it appears I was mistaken."
With his entire body battered, appearing like his bones were shattered, Reiger calmly wandered in the cosmic domain, stumbling forward.
"Rain was rely an illusion, the actual dium triggering the ability was a faint sound within the rain noise, or the foul sll mixed in the rain."
"Thus, even without touching the rain, later on hearing the rain, slling the stench, I’d still fall victim."
Passing by the crocodile dragon, then Kibutsuji Muzan with wide eyes and a dazed look, Reiger continued forward.
"And this ability isn’t any deadly power, nor an illusion or hallucination."
"Upon activation, the trigger’s consciousness is promptly drawn into a false space constructed by their mories."
"In this fictitious mory space, you can reproduce people or things from the target’s mory at will, and control them."
Whether lo, Naisa, or Beluti, the visions and hallucinations they encountered after the ability triggered were scenes once part of their mories.
However, those scenes were seized by the ability’s owner, diverging from the mory holder’s impressions.
"The truly terrifying aspect of this ability is when we believe everything here is real, and being hard or killed by things in our mory, those mories return to the brain, transferring to the body, from false to real."
"Thus, injuries here beco real, deaths experienced here turn real, even possessions at that ti are affected, becoming damaged."
"This process is absolutely irreversible, preventing or healing is impossible, even if by chance not dead, severe shock to the mory can lead to a collapsed ntal and spiritual state."
lo, Naisa, and Beluti were such; even after being revived by Reiger later, their mind and spirit still suffered substantial trauma, genuinely believing themselves lted to death, enduring dreadful pain and tornt.
Even Reiger, witnessing the girls’ demise from the exterior, felt the sa.
Sadly...
"You don’t know that my first magic was mory magic, so upon entering here, I discerned its essence."
"You also don’t know I possess a developnt ability nad ’Unbound’, freeing from external constraints, by pulling my consciousness into this mory space, restricting my power, you inadvertently made aware of being restrained."
"Two reasons, inevitably leading to your failure."
Reiger reached one corner of [Infinite Void].
Here, he could sll a stench, barely hear an eerie faint sound.
And so, Reiger extended his hand and grabbed sothing within the darkness.
It turned out to be a shadow.
The true form of the shadow was a slender abyss creature, akin to a worm.
It remained motionless there, unable to resist under the influence of the [Boundless Void].
"I didn’t expect the great terror hidden within the Great Saint Palace to be such an inconspicuous little thing like you."
Reiger’s blood-stained lips curled up.
"If there’s a next life, rember to reincarnate as a human in a fountain."
With those words, Reiger’s hand holding the slender worm suddenly tightened.
"Splat!"
With blood splattering, the abyss creature hiding in the Great Saint Palace put on an act and t its end.
...
Great Saint Palace, the square connecting the front hall and the main hall.
The rain that had originally appeared here had already stopped, no longer falling.
A spherical black barrier hovered above the square, silent and still, making the atmosphere oppressive and heavy.
"Buzz——"
At a certain mont, the spherical barrier suddenly trembled and then contracted inward, transforming into a brilliant light.
"Boom!"
The light exploded, causing countless starry light points to fall from midair, forming another rain, a srizing shower of light.
Reiger’s figure erged from it, bathed in the light rain, like a ssenger of God descending from the heavens, gently landing on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, Reiger’s body was completely unscathed, not a single wound despite having all his bones shattered.
Only a handful of blood was dripping from his clenched fist, indicating that he had indeed killed an abyss creature just monts ago.
"Snap!"
Reiger flung his hand, and the blood was slung to the ground, creating a splatter mark that stained the ground red.
"...The revenge for those girls is considered taken."
Reiger muttered to himself, unlike Kibutsuji Muzan and that crocodile dragon in the mory space, whose eyes were filled with rage and hatred, yet he also conveyed that he was a vengeful person.
After all, he had watched lo, Naisa, and Beluti die right before his eyes, powerless to help.
The feeling at that ti... you could tell by his later deanor that he almost lost control and had an outburst on the spot.
Now with the great revenge achieved, Reiger felt a sense of ntal freedom.
"If those girls knew that the creature responsible for their tragic deaths was just a little worm, even Beluti would feel depressed, wouldn’t she?"
Reiger turned around, glanced at the front hall a distance away, and pursed his lips.
"It’s better not to tell them about this."
It’s as if this never happened.
Reiger handled it appropriately, showing full consideration for the girls’ dignity.
Of course, he could still tell them that he had avenged them.
Such news should be a good redy for the girls who suffered emotional and ntal shock, right?
"Main hall..."
Reiger shifted his gaze to the main hall that could be reached by crossing the square.
The doors to the main hall were right in front of him, no longer distant.
"There should be no abyss creatures here, right?"
Reiger wasn’t too sure about this.
Ever since arriving at this Black Land, his Perceptive World had stopped working properly, so much so that even though he kept it activated, he couldn’t trust everything Perceptive World saw.
"To be safe, let’s deploy so tanks."
Having experienced so many bizarre powers of the abyss, Reiger beca much more cautious.
At that mont, Reiger unfolded a magic array.
"[Tenth Rank Angel Summoning]."
From the magic array, several pure white chanical angels appeared in light, summoned by Reiger.
If the Loki Familia and adventurers who took part in the artificial labyrinth campaign saw these chanical angels, they would surely recognize them.
Because they were the angelic summoned creatures known as Guardian Seat Angels, previously summoned by Reiger as fighting power for the campaign.
With these Guardian Seat Angels used as shields, only then did Reiger proceed into the main hall.
