Chapter 1618 - 1115: Receiving Their Due Punishment (Part 2)

Pasival looked at Reiger with a changing expression, his face full of astonishment.

"He, he is the human that Miss Altoria has been searching for?"

The fairy girl holding a knight’s spear looked at Reiger with extreme curiosity.

"Huh?" The small fairy girl was surprised, muttering with confusion and peculiarity, "Why does he feel so familiar?"

In the end, even Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Reiger with great surprise, feeling both shocked and pleased.

Of course, compared to Reiger’s return, what was happening before them was more concerning.

Even the slowest person could see it now.

The sudden disturbance in the queen’s army camp was because of Reiger’s unexpected return.

He had become the invader of the camp and seemed to have had a big fight with the Elf Knight Bagster.

But that’s not the most important thing.

More crucially, from the looks of it, Reiger appeared to have won?

Bagster, who had retrieved her true name and transformed into the Catastrophe Dog, was defeated by Reiger?

Looking at the unhurt Reiger, and then at the blood-soaked, severely wounded Bagster kneeling, everyone, reluctant as they were, had to admit the fact before them.

"Cough, cough..."

Under the gaze of everyone’s disbelief, Bagster coughed up blood, gritting her teeth, trying hard to stand up.

Even though her wounds worsened by forcing it, staining more of the ground with blood, she refused to bow before Reiger as she just had.

"That slash just now..."

At this moment, Bagster ignored the group of prophecy children and the Round Table army she had painstakingly tried to capture, staring intently at Reiger, speaking hoarsely.

"That slash... does it have a name?"

To this question, Reiger gave his answer without hesitation.

"It’s a new technique I developed, a slash that can cut through space—[Dimensional Slash]."

Reiger’s answer surprised even Altoria and others who hadn’t witnessed Reiger defeating Bagster.

"[Dimensional Slash]?"

"A slash that can cut through space?"

"This..."

People were stunned as if hearing something incredible.

"A slash that can cut through space..."

Bagster was also slightly moved, but then she laughed.

She laughed as though relieved.

"To have been defeated by such an extraordinary skill, it’s not a loss."

After speaking, Bagster put away her smile, her gaze towards Reiger becoming fierce.

"It seems that even if I went to all lengths to retrieve my true name and reclaim this cursed power, I still cannot defeat you."

"This time, I’ve lost again."

"Kill me."

Bagster admitted defeat but did not discard the fairy sword Cavent, nor did she close her eyes. It was like she would resist until the last moment, baring fangs and antennas, her aura remaining fierce.

"Bagster!"

Altoria reacted, turning her gaze to Bagster, wanting to say something but was interrupted by Reiger.

"I will not kill you." Reiger slightly lowered the black blade in his hand, saying breezily, "Go back to Morgan."

Once these words came out, regardless of Altoria’s reaction, everyone else was shocked.

This was an enemy’s general!

To intend to let her go directly?

"What do you mean?" Bagster seemed angry, exclaiming, "I don’t need the enemy’s pity!"

To Bagster’s statement, Reiger responded indifferently with a single sentence.

"This isn’t pity; it’s a formal declaration of war." Reiger looked at Bagster, saying, "You can take a message back to Morgan for me."

"I will stand by the side of the Prophesied Child and the foreign magician, and according to the prophecy of the Clan of Mirrors, let the true king defeat the false king and completely liberate this Britain."

"By then, her rule will end, and her obsessions will dissipate."

"And I..."

Reiger’s gaze met Altoria’s in a spirit-connecting moment.

"I will bring the mission of the fairies from both past and present paradises to an end, granting redemption to the fairies of this Fairy Country."

Reiger’s calm voice echoed across the plain, reaching everyone’s ears.

"The original sin of the fairies will be judged in the hands of me and Altoria, and receive the punishment it deserves."

This sentence seemed to penetrate the heart of every fairy, causing a sense of uncontrollable tremor to ripple through the hearts of all fairies, regardless of which side they were on.

That was a crisis perceived instinctively.

That was primordial resistance.

At the same time, it was also a kind of hope, a kind of anticipation, a kind of yearning.

The sunset in the sky fittingly disappeared at that moment, ushering all of Britain into night.

It was as if silently declaring that something was about to come to an end...

...

Shortly after, Bagster led the Queen’s fairies to retreat.

She would return to Camelot, convey Reiger’s words to Morgan verbatim, informing her that the most brutal war in history was about to commence.

Recalling Reiger’s declarations, Bagster also felt an extremely heavy heart.

She knew that the battle to decide Britain’s future survival was about to unfold.

With mixed feelings, Bagster chose not to recklessly seek death but to retreat back to Camelot.

And Reiger, naturally reunited with Altoria and others after the Queen’s army retreated.

"Should I say long time no see?"

Looking at Altoria standing before him, Reiger chuckled softly and said such words.

"...You bastard!"

Altoria stared at Reiger for a while with an incomprehensible look, then raised her chosen staff and couldn’t help but swing it towards Reiger.

"Hey, hey, hey! When did you become so violent?"

Reiger easily sidestepped, avoiding Altoria’s angry strike.

"You’re talking! How long do you think I’ve been looking for you? Just a Reiger... Who do you think you are?"

This was already considered making trouble without reason.

"Didn’t I say I’d come find you?" Reiger naturally wouldn’t pamper this country fairy, pressing her forehead, said, "Just an Altoria, how could you possibly find me? You should just obediently wait for me to find you!"

Hearing this, Altoria was furious.

But before she could explode, the hand on her forehead switched to patting, tangling her hair.

"Ah! Don’t mess up my hair!"

Altoria flailed her arms and legs in resistance, but it had little effect.

"Didn’t you already ring the Pilgrimage Bell five times?" Reiger cheerfully continued messing up Altoria’s hair, saying, "I thought you would’ve improved somewhat, but it seems you’re still the same."

It wasn’t Altoria who responded to Reiger’s words, but the other people who had arrived in front of them.

"That’s because you didn’t see the previous Altoria." Alberon said with a comforting smile of seeing an old friend, "Before she saw you, she wasn’t like this."

Following Alberon, Chaldea’s group also spoke up.

"Very glad to see you again, Mr. Reiger."

Matthew revealed a genuinely happy smile, saying so.

"You really came back at the right time."

Da Vinci also looked very happy, as if seeing a strong ally.

"We really owed a lot to your help before."

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave Reiger a deep bow of gratitude.

Only then did Reiger turn his gaze to these people, scanning them one by one.
