Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 1574: Rescue mission (14)

Chapter 1574: Rescue mission (14)

Since the shadow was still aggressively trying to fight back, it wasn’t the right time to do anything to it.

Instead, I went over to the divine energy earth cage that contained the button.

If this thing really was the final Relic of Destruction, then I would be able to sense it.

Out of everyone, I was the best person to check this button.

After all, I had the best protection and the most experience when it came to the Relics of Destruction.

Through the divine energy earth cage, I could feel that power coming from the button. This was a power that was just like the one that I felt from the Relics of Destruction that I had interacted with previously.

But at the same time, it felt a bit more raw compared to the other Relics of Destruction.

It felt like there was something that was closer to the source when it came to this button.

I didn’t bring down the cage that was around it since I could feel that there was still corruption energy that was coming from the button. Instead, I sent my divine energy inside of the cage to suppress the corruption energy that was coming from the button.

That divine energy went inside of the cage and soon suppressed the button that was inside.

The divine energy wrapped around the button and formed a kind of barrier around it that prevented it from leaking out energy.

I was actually surprised that the divine energy that I released was enough to suppress this. But if I had to justify it, it was most likely because the power of the button had already been drained because of everything that had happened before.

Once the divine energy suppressed the button, that was when I finally released the divine energy earth cage to reveal it.

Once the cage was released, the shadow slammed into the cage that it was trapped in as if it wanted to break free and grab the button. But the moment that it slammed into the cage, the only thing that happened was that smoke came from it.

It was as if the shadow was being burned because it made contact with the cage.

It tried to push through the pain at first as it was staring at the button as if that was the only thing that mattered. But in the end, it seemed like it had no choice but to back down.

The shadow seemed like it couldn’t take the pain anymore with the way that it suddenly moved away from the cage.

Instead, it turned to me as if it was glaring at me since I had grabbed the button off the ground.

“Hand it over human, you can’t possibly hope to use it.”

The shadow spoke as if it was in charge, but really it was nothing more than prey that was caught in a cage.

I couldn’t help shaking my head with a faint smile when I saw the shadow acting this way, but I didn’t say anything in response as I just calmly looked down on the shadow.

The shadow looked back at me, but slowly it seemed like it was losing ground.

It was as if the shadow was feeling the pressure that I was putting on it.

Then all of a sudden, the shadow said, “Who are you? How do you have this divine presence to you?”

I didn’t say anything, but I could see the strange looks that were cast in my direction by the others. Though the worst looks that I received were the ones that came from the people of the Holy Empire.

It was clear that there was a look of worship in their eyes when they heard the words ’divine presence’.

This was the way that they would look at a god that they worshipped…

This was not the way that I wanted them to look at me since it was easy to create a misunderstanding like this.

But I just ignored all of this as I looked down at the shadow and said, “Who are you and what is this thing?”

I said this as I raised the button in front of me.

When the shadow saw this, it seemed like it wanted to reach out to grab the button. But of course, the only thing that happened was that the shadow hurt itself from trying to reach its hand out.

There was smoke that came from its body as soon as it made contact with the cage.

I shook my head before saying, “This is clearly a Relic of Destruction, but where did it come from? And most importantly, where did you come from with a Relic of Destruction?”

The shadow seemed to calm down a bit when it heard this.

There was a silence that lingered in the air before the shadow said, “You know about the God of Destruction, then you should know what it means to go against his will. If you don’t want to suffer, then accept that his will is inevitable and the world will be destroyed.”

It seemed that there was no talking to this shadow.

In fact, it seemed like it was a fanatic believer of the God of Destruction with the way that it spoke.

This was similar to something else that I had met before.

“So you’re an Apostle of Destruction. It seems that you can come in different forms.”

“And you’re the hero of prophecy. Otherwise, how would you know this much?” The shadow said with a chuckle.

It was as if the shadow had lost all fear, but the better way to say it was that the shadow didn’t seem to care anymore.

It understood that it wouldn’t be able to do anything to the cage around it and this was most likely the end for it. As such, it seemed like it wanted to cause as much trouble as possible before its end.

That was why it didn’t hesitate to run its mouth like this.
