Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 2081: No ceremony?

Chapter 2081: No ceremony?

After my hand made contact with the red gem, the same sensation came over me.

It was the same thing as when I made contact with the rock pillar at the rock elemental village.

As soon as my hand came in contact, there was the feeling of my divine energy being drained away by this red gem.

However, I already had experience with this matter and could easily control the rate that the red gem took my divine energy from me. It didn’t take long for a steady rate of divine energy to flow from me into the red gem.

While this was happening, I could feel something pushing me back.

It seemed that this red gem was already growing from the amount of divine energy that I injected into it.

Though thinking about it, it seemed to make sense.

The rock pillar was the same size as the red gem was when I first started injecting divine energy into it. However, the final size of the rock pillar was definitely different from the final size of the red gem.

The chamber was several times bigger than the largest circumference of the rock pillar.

If the sizes were relative, it meant that the starting point of this red gem was already smaller than the rock pillar was.

If that was the case, it kind of made sense why there wasn’t any heat around the red gem.

“Only why did Solista send me to the rock elementals first?” I couldn’t help asking myself as I realized this fact.

If the situation with the flame elementals was much worse, then it would only make sense that I would be sent here first to refill this red gem. The rock elementals might have also been in a similar situation, but it seemed like the flame elementals were far worse off compared to them

After this thought, I started injecting even more divine energy into the red gem.

It was a bit straining, but it felt like this was more urgent than the situation with the rock elementals.

At the same time, I could see the way that the flame elementals were looking in this direction.

The way that their eyes lit up when they saw the red gem getting bigger, it was clear that this was something that they had been worried about for a long time. I could see the relief that filled their expressions as this red gem grew bigger in front of them.

Indeed, it seemed that the situation with the flame elementals had been far worse off than the rock elementals.

With this thought, I continued injecting more divine energy into the red gem.

From experience, I knew just how much divine energy would exert me. However, I went over that limit since I wanted to inject a bit more divine energy into this red gem this first time.

It was in a bad condition, so there was nothing wrong with giving it a bit more divine energy.

I even went on longer than I normally would have even though it made me a bit exhausted.

For now, it was good to put a little bit extra in since it would help this red gem recover faster.

When I was done and went back over to the flame elementals, the elder looked at me with a grateful look as it said, “Thank you.”

It seemed that the elder had seen what I had done.

Then again, it wasn’t as if I was trying to hide it.

So I just gave a simple nod in response before asking, “Are you going to gather your people and start hosting a ceremony?”

I was referring to the ceremony that the rock elementals hosted after that first time I injected divine energy into the rock pillar. It was that ceremony that used the power of the rock pillar to inject vitality into their surroundings.

However, the flame elemental elder just shook its head before saying, “No, we’re not going to do that.”

I was surprised by this answer before thinking that it wasn’t something that all elementals did. Only the flame elemental elder proved me wrong by what it said next.

“It isn’t the right time for that yet. We can’t do this until the source becomes a bit stronger.”

I couldn’t help feeling a bit confused by this.

After all, the red gem should have enough divine energy for whatever ceremony they would want to host and I was always here to inject more divine energy into it. It seemed like it wouldn’t be a problem if they wanted to host the ceremony right now.

It was just that the flame elemental elders seemed determined about this decision.

Since this was their decision, I didn’t say anything about it.

Though there was one thing that I did have to say, “I’ll be leaving for a bit. I don’t think that I can survive in this place for a long time.”

The flame elementals looked like they wanted to keep me here, but they also seemed to understand what it was that made me leave.

Heat was a problem, the cold wasn’t.

If it was cold outside, it was easy for us to create our own heat to warm us up.

We had brought along tents and things that we could use to set up shelters for ourselves.

It was just that this heat was too strong for us to live down here.

That was why I had to leave this place after I was done injecting divine energy into the red gem.

…

It had been three days since I had started injecting divine energy into the red gem and it was looking much bigger than before.

With each passing day, I could see the looks of hope filling the faces of the flame elementals.

It wasn’t just the elders, it was also the other flame elementals that had the same looks on their faces.

It was also on this fourth day that the flame elementals finally decided to do something.
