Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Reiger's skills are almost entirely focused on the sword.

Apart from magic, Reiger's greatest strength is sword techniques, there's no doubt about it.

From Ais, Reiger learned the initial sword techniques, understanding how to wield a sword.

From Tsukiguni Yoriichi and the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, Reiger learned the breathing techniques of various schools, establishing his own swordsmanship system.

In the continent of Akasha, Reiger also studied the sword techniques of the Holy Dragon Sword Skill and the Steel-breaking Sword Skill.

These sword techniques have now been fully integrated by Reiger, combined to create a style uniquely his own.

Therefore, Reiger is a swordsman; even if he learns various magic, he remains a magic swordsman.

However, this does not mean that if he loses his sword, Reiger won't be able to fight.

Even without counting his magical abilities, Reiger has ways to fight.

Before crossing over, he studied systematic self-defense techniques, which, although mere trifles in another world, at least gave Reiger a sense of unarmed combat.

Also mentioned before, the Breath of the Wind can not only be used as a sword technique but also be applied in martial arts techniques.

By wrapping the wind around his limbs, at that moment, Reiger's arms and legs became the sharpest of weapons.

"Come on."

Reiger beckoned to Alcana.

"Heh."

Alcana watched Reiger closely, and seeing that he indeed had no intention of using the sword, she laughed.

It wasn't a laugh of anger from feeling looked down upon, but a laugh from the instinctive drive for battle being awakened deep within.

As the strongest female warrior of the Dou Country, Alcana is naturally battle-hungry, unlike Theona and Theone who reject rituals, she actually enjoys them.

In some aspects, this female warrior is just like her main deity, Kali.

She also craves slaughter.

She also yearns for blood.

The difference is that Kali merely wishes to admire, but Alcana wants to personally partake.

In her view, battling strong individuals where only one side can survive is the reason for her existence in the world.

Thus, when the fight comes, Alcana has completely forgotten.

Forgotten the task to take Reiger back to have children.

Forgotten this is a challenge she initiated herself.

Battle is ritual.

In ritual, there must be one who is killed, flayed, devoured.

"Conquer him."

"Devour him."

"Then, become stronger."

This is Alcana's way of survival, her essence.

So, the intent to fight and desire to kill expanded simultaneously from Alcana, erupting like an invisible bloody storm, making a giant snake flick its tongue appear behind Alcana, its reptilian slit pupils nailed on Reiger, as if they could gouge out his flesh with a gaze.

Feeling the surging intent to battle and to kill, many adventurers present couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Revere the Tower——Revere the Tower——Revere the Tower——Revere the Tower——"

The female warriors of the Dou Country became even more fervent, shouting loudly, bolstering Alcana's momentum.

Bajie watched quietly.

While Finn, Ais, and others held their breath.

Reiger remained calm, looking at Alcana who exuded a fierce aura like a beast, his expression unchanged.

"Boom!"

At a certain moment, Alcana crushed the ground beneath her feet, kicking up a cloud of dust, and shot out like a bullet fired from a pistol.

Speed, fast as lightning!

"Haaaaaaa...!"

With a resounding battle cry, Alcana leaped high and launched a fist at Reiger like a cannonball, creating a sonic boom.

"Bang!"

The next second, with a dull thud, Alcana's fist hammered on Reiger's raised arm, producing a shockwave that swept all around.

Time paused here for a few seconds.

A few seconds later, the fierce battle erupted.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...!"

This was the sound of fists simultaneously landing on the enemy.

Only to see Alcana suddenly burst out with astonishing punching speed, throwing punches with sonic boom sounds overwhelming like a landslide, connecting punch after punch, releasing dozens in a second, with violent fist shadows striking Reiger.

Like a storm of blows, it not only stirred up clouds of dust but also shocked the onlookers, feeling that Alcana's fists could hardly be seen, only endless fist shadows filled their vision, countless and innumerable.

This was no longer an attack but a ravage.

As if a wild beast was trampling the ground nonstop, dull explosive sounds echoed, stinging people's eardrums.

Facing such an astounding assault, a transparent glimmer had long lit up in Reiger's eyes.

The Clear World activated, and his consciousness began to accelerate in the relatively static world, allowing Reiger to see through Alcana's muscle movements, blood flow, motions, and attack trajectories, fully reading her offensive.

With wind-clad limbs interlacing a solid defense, Reiger blocked all incoming punches.

If Alcana's attack was a tidal wave, Reiger's defense was rocks, like a coastal cliff that wouldn't crumble despite the pounding waves.

Sometimes using his elbow to block a punch.

Sometimes using his palm to fend off the fist shadows.

Sometimes using his knee to block the fist.

Sometimes countering with his own punch.

Reiger was like this, having completely read through Alcana's offensives, calmly, composedly, indifferently taking all attacks and shedding them off.
