Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1121: Crown (3)



As if on cue, the Mark of God suddenly appeared on my hand.

It was just that the Mark of God was not the same as usual.

When the Mark of God appeared on my hand, there was this blinding light that suddenly came from it.

This light was much stronger than the light that it usually released.

At the same time, it seemed that the light from the crown also seemed to be getting stronger. It was as if there was some kind of resonance that was happening between the two of them. This resonance between the two of them only lasted for a minute before it suddenly cut off. With the way that the light suddenly disappeared, it was almost strange since it had happened too suddenly. It was almost as if there was something that had suddenly cut off the light from the two things that were glowing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I didn't think too much about it and started moving closer to the Crown of Wisdom.

It was just that before I was able to approach the crown, Saintess Irene suddenly came forward to stand between me and the crown.

I raised a brow as I looked at her, but I also took a step back just in case something happened. Even if she seemed like she was harmless, she was the saintess for a reason.

She was able to communicate with the gods and was able to use their powers, so the holy magic that she possessed was not something that could be looked down on.

I didn't think that she would do something like this with the way that she had looked at me before, but it wasn't as if I could just assume that nothing would happen.

Anything was possible in this world.

When Saintess Irene saw this, she quickly raised her hand and shook it as she said, "Holy son, it isn't like that. It's just that before you approach the Crown of Wisdom, there's something that I have to do to ensure your safety."

I didn't move back as I raised a brow to look at her, but I also didn't move further away as I wanted to see what she meant by this.

Saintess Irene took this as if she had been given a chance to explain, so she didn't hesitate at all as she suddenly turned around to look at the pedestal. Then bringing her hands together, she started to chant something that almost seemed like she was praying.

There was this faint light that appeared around Saintess Irene, but then it suddenly gathered in her hands that were still together. This light seemed to build up for a bit before suddenly being released in the direction of the pedestal.

Before I could react to what happened, there was this cracking sound that suddenly rang out. Then there seemed to be this crack that formed in the air in front of us.

It was strange seeing this crack appear in the air itself, but I soon realized what it was.

It was some kind of barrier that had been around the pedestal that Saintess Irene just cracked with her holy magic. If I had gone forward without letting her do this first, then there was no doubt that I would have bumped right into it.

After cracking the barrier, Saintess Irene suddenly let her hands move away from each other before letting out a long breath. She quickly started taking in deep breaths as if she was exhausted.

It seemed that it took quite a bit of power from her to crack that barrier.

If that was the case, then it would have been very hard to check on the Crown of Wisdom each time...

But this was what they deemed was necessary to protect the Crown of Wisdom, so it wasn't as if it was my place to judge.

The only thing that I had to worry about was the Crown of Wisdom itself.

Only I didn't step forward yet as I looked at Saintess Irene.

When she caught her breath, I asked, "Can I move forward now?"

Saintess Irene turned back and gave a slow nod before moving aside for me to pass.

I walked past her and moved towards the pedestal that the Crown of Wisdom was on, but there was still the glass that was separating me from it. I wasn't in a rush to open this glass as I looked at the Crown of Wisdom for a bit before turning back to look at Saintess Irene who had followed behind me.

"What's wrong with it?"

The only thing that I had been told so far was that there was something wrong with the Crown of Wisdom, but no one had told me what exactly was wrong with the Crown of Wisdom. Without knowing that, it was hard for me to actually think of a way to solve their problem, whatever it was.

Saintess Irene didn't say anything as she revealed a faint bitter smile, but she didn't do anything as she went over to the pedestal and lifted the glass box off the pedestal.

Then she reached out to touch the Crown of Wisdom.

The moment that she touched the Crown of Wisdom, there was a light that appeared around

it.

It was just that this light...seemed like it was weaker than the light that had appeared when it resonated with the Mark of God that appeared on my hand. It was almost as if there was something off about this light.

Saintess Irene just kept her hand on the Crown of Wisdom as she turned back to say, "As you can see, the power of the Crown of Wisdom is weakening. We don't know what is weakening it, but since it's divine power that powers this Crown of Wisdom, it isn't something that we can replenish. The only thing that we can hope for is that..."

She didn't finish her words, but the way that she looked at my hand made it clear.

What had happened before was just a test.

They wanted to use me as a battery to power up this Crown of Wisdom.
