Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

The way that the corruption was appearing, it really seemed like there was something that was behind it.

At the same time, it really seemed like there was a path that they were following.

So instead of going to each of the places where the new sources of corruption were appearing, we were actually heading to the place that was along the path. We were heading ahead of the path to see if we could intercept the thing that was creating all this corruption energy.

If we could find it and stop it…

Well, it was already a long shot, but it was better than doing nothing.

After all, there had been no clues about why the corruption energy had suddenly appeared like this.

After the war with the demons last time, things had just been too quiet…

People even started to wonder if there really was a mastermind behind all of this.

But now that the corruption energy had appeared once more, there was no doubt that there was a mastermind behind all of this.

Only it was hard to figure out just what their plan was.

Was there anything to gain from spreading the corruption energy across the land like this?

Regardless of what their reasoning was, the most important thing was finding who was the one spreading the corruption and stopping them from spreading even more corruption.

If we were able to get some information from that person, then that would be even better.

But even after rushing to intercept that person…

”Are you sure that this is the right place?” I asked Chris and Leon as we floated there in the air looking at all the empty space in front of us.

Even though we had rushed ahead of the thing that was spreading the corruption energy and had arrived in the spot that person should have been at, it didn’t seem like we were able to find anything.

It wasn’t that they had already dropped the corruption energy and left, it was just that there weren’t any traces of them at all.

It was as if they had suddenly stopped what they were doing.

It was as if they had been satisfied with the amount of corruption energy that they had spread, so there was no need for them to do anything else.

But if that was the case, then it meant that we had made the wrong choice coming to this place ahead of time to try and catch that person.

Chris and Leon looked carefully at the map, but there really wasn’t anything that they could say. No matter how they looked at it, this really was the right place for the ambush.

If there was nothing here, then there was nothing here.

”Spread and search. See if you can find any traces.” I said with deeply knitted brows.

Klein and the others immediately nodded in agreement before spreading out on their wyverns.

Chris and Leon seemed like they wanted to go as well, but I stopped them.

They only had a single airship that was holding all of the holy knights and the priests.

Unlike the Klein and the others who were on wyverns, having them search wasn’t as effective since they couldn’t split up. At the same time, if they were to go and search, it wasn’t as if they would be using their full potential.

Rather, it was better for them to stay with me until the end.

If something happened, at least they would be able to help me fight off whatever came with their holy magic.

But since they were just sitting there without doing anything, they couldn’t help feeling awkward.

It was their intelligence that led us here in the first place, so to not do anything now just felt awkward for them.

I didn’t say anything even though it was clear they were waiting for some kind of affirmation from me.

Instead, I was just focused on the area around me.

I was hoping that with my mana sense or the relics that I had, I would be able to find something.

But in the end, it wasn’t any of that.

Instead, it was the Mark of God that suddenly appeared on my hand.

I wasn’t paying attention to it at first since I was focused on something completely different, but then the light was too hard to ignore. At the same time, there was a light that came from under me.

It was the Mark of God that had been on Joan’s head that appeared as well.

There was nothing that we did to prompt them to appear, but they had appeared all of a sudden like this.

Seeing this, I couldn’t help slightly knitting my brows.

For them to appear like this, it was clear that there was something that provoked this reaction from the Marks of God that we possessed. The only thing that had done that previously was the seed of corruption.

So did that mean that there was a seed of corruption nearby?

Or perhaps it was something that was related to the seed of corruption?

I raised my hand and started using the Mark of God as a kind of sensor, but there wasn’t much of a chance from the Mark of God.

Instead, I had to rely on Joan.

Though I didn’t even know she had this ability at first.

She suddenly turned in a direction and looked like she was interested in something.

”Go on, follow it.” I said after seeing her like this.

Joan just gave a soft roar of acknowledgement before she started flying in the direction that she was facing.

As we continued going in that direction, I could tell that the light from the Marks of God were getting stronger.

After a while, we finally saw something in front of us.

This was a thing that was flying in the air, but it was a very strange object that was there.

It seemed to be some kind of flying object that was covered in this layer of something.

It was as if it was dragging a cloak of darkness behind it.
