Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

This defense has surprisingly acquired the essence of "absolute defense," for which the fierce [warrior] Ota is most proud of.

"Good!"

Seeing her attack being completely blocked without even making Reiger change his expression, Alcana was not surprised but pleased.

"Worthy of the strong one I acknowledge! That's how it should be!"

Alcana shouted these words in the Amazonian language, not caring if Reiger could understand, and her fighting spirit swelled again. She switched her stance and launched a flying kick.

A kick from the front!

"Boom!"

Reiger caught this strike with the back of his hand entwined with wind, and his body floated away effortlessly with the force from the blow.

Alcana immediately stomped on the ground, closing in with her body. Her hands transformed from fists to claws, slashing like scythes, one after another aiming at Reiger.

In an instant, the claw attacks tore through the air, grazing Reiger's retreating arms, leaving several bloody scratches.

The sharpness of Alcana's nails made Reiger think of vampires like Yuloli Reinayier and Shalltear Bloodfallen.

These vampires possess special abilities called corporeal weapons, enabling their nails to be as sharp as blades, easily piercing the human body, and even blocking sharp weapon attacks.

Although Alcana hadn't reached that level, being scratched by her nails would certainly not be less painful than being hit by a monster's claws.

"Truly a savage beast, huh?"

While maintaining his retreat, Reiger's body flickered like a phantom, dodging the incoming claw strikes narrowly.

Without his sword, Reiger's "swordsman" skills were invalid, unable to enhance his abilities. However, with his equipment reduced and weight lightened, his "lightweight" development skills were further triggered, causing Reiger's speed to increase significantly. Both his "agility" and "dexterity" parameters rose to varying degrees.

This allowed Reiger to easily evade Alcana's claw strikes and abruptly stop his retreat, suddenly lunging forward, swinging a wind-clad fist at the approaching Alcana.

"...…!"

Alcana's pupils shrank, watching the fist rapidly enlarge in her vision. She stopped her attack without hesitation, squatting down to duck.

With a "whizz," Reiger's fist grazed past Alcana's hair, blowing against the Amazon warrior's hair tied up like a whip.

"Ha!"

Avoiding Reiger's frontal blow, Alcana shouted softly, her legs storming out like a whirlwind, assaulting the lower part of Reiger's body.

The slender thigh swept across the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

But at this moment, Reiger suddenly leaped into the air, avoiding Alcana's sweeping leg sweep.

"Don't think you can escape!"

Alcana, relentless, stomped the ground, shooting into the air, pursuing Reiger.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...…

The two silhouettes leaping into the air instantly clashed again, soaring higher into the sky, transforming their hands and feet into blunt weapons, crashing fiercely against each other, making the sounds of physical impacts resound like explosions.

The intense collision caused numerous shockwaves to form in the path of the two figures, exploding outward layer by layer, covering the entire sky.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom...!"

Gradually, the battle between the two intensified, their exchange speed increasing, making the collision sounds appear continuously like firecrackers.

The two combatants in the fierce battle also darted back and forth in mid-air, sometimes colliding, sometimes separating, sometimes pursuing, sometimes intercrossing, fighting intensely.

"Gulp..."

The astonishing hand-to-hand combat led someone among the onlookers to involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Everyone stared dazedly at the intense melee unfolding in the air, as if witnessing some prehistoric beasts tearing at and battling each other, shocking them into changing color on the spot.

"Zhi Wèi Gāo——Zhi Wèi Gāo——Zhi Wèi Gāo——Zhi Wèi Gāo——"

The warriors from the battle nation were ignited by this terrifying hand-to-hand fight, each with flushed faces cheering, their eyes gleaming like wolves in the night, embodying a longing to replace them and engage in such an intense melee themselves.

"Impressive."

Even Bajie's eyes burned with fighting spirit, her fists clenched tightly, almost digging into her flesh.

Compared to her elder sister Alcana, Bajie was undoubtedly an anomaly.

She is silent and taciturn, calm and not passionate, unlike Alcana's extreme enthusiasm for battle, yet she, like most Amazon warriors, inherently possesses a combative nature.

Seeing such an intense battle, Bajie was also getting excited, wishing to rush in and engage in close combat like Alcana with that formidable male opponent.

Of course, this only appeared terrifying in the eyes of others.

"What... what level of battle is this?"

"Isn't this a fight between two deep-level floor bosses?"

"Can humans really engage in close combat like this?"

"Two monsters...!"

Some adventurers broke out in cold sweat, while others shouted uncontrollably, clearly frightened by the fierce battle between Reiger and Alcana.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Go for it!"

Only the gods, as if witnessing a spectacular underground boxing match, shouted excitedly.

Everyone was watching this battle, watching this unprecedented fierce close combat, feeling their hearts tremble countless times.

The relentless attacks, merciless fighting, and the constant sound of physical collisions had already taken away everyone's detached indifference, drawing all their emotions into this battle.

"Alcana...!"

Theone looked at the fierce battle in midair, clenched her fists, bit her lip, and had a determined expression.

Seeing her nemesis becoming more excited and engaged, showing power far beyond before, Theone's unwillingness was imaginable.

"Was Alcana always this strong?"

Theona was shocked.

She knew Alcana was strong, but the power Alcana was showing right now was far beyond Theona's expectations.

"Is it because of 'level ascension'?"

Grace frowned her brows.

"...The current Alcana Jali Fu is not Lv.6, but Lv.7, with far superior strength. That Reiger can contend with such a person is already very impressive."

Revilia looked at the battle in midair and whispered so.

Both Lv.7 leaders of Loki's Familia felt ponderous due to the power Alcana was currently exhibiting.

That strength, even if they faced it now, they might not gain much advantage.

However...

"No, it's not just 'level ascension'.

Finn, with his superior little-person vision, seemed to see through something.

"It's no illusion; Alcana Jali Fu is indeed getting stronger."

Finn's grave words made everyone around's face change dramatically.

"Getting stronger?"

Ais unconsciously tightened her grip on the Fool's Sword.

And in midair, Reiger, who was currently fiercely battling Alcana, had already noticed the anomaly.

"Spurt!"

Alcana, who was launching a shocking offensive, suddenly changed her attack, transforming from a punch to a claw, tearing the skin of Reiger's arm that was used to block the attack, leaving new blood marks on Reiger's arm.

Blood immediately splattered from the wound on Reiger's arm, flying into the air.

Seeing these blood droplets, Alcana's eyes lit up, and she actually licked them into her mouth.

The next moment, Alcana's aura increased, and her attack became even more fierce.

Her strength was indeed becoming stronger.

This is...

"Magic?"

Reiger recalled the abilities of this female warrior.

"No, this is a curse."
