Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2135: More and more gathering

A blinding burst of golden light erupted, making it impossible for us to peer outside and witness the events unfolding.

After the golden light faded, we could finally behold the outcome of that dramatic event.

Suddenly, the golden barrier encircling the capital surged outward, shoving back the horde of corruption energy monsters that had amassed there. But this time, it wasn't merely repelling them.

Remnants of corruption energy monsters lay strewn everywhere, crushed by the sheer force of the expanding golden barrier.

The barrier appeared to have developed an offensive capability during this forceful expansion, obliterating every corruption energy monster in its way without any resistance.

It was exactly like watching a bulldozer plow through and clear a wide path.

Once finished, the little dragon spun around to face us, seemingly seeking approval.

Yet, I had no words of praise for it, as I noticed how much effort it had put in.

The small dragon wasn't the only one strained; it had also tapped into Arthur's strength to some degree, evident from his quicker breaths.

This response was logical given their deep connection.

Since the small dragon's power originated from Arthur, it was inevitable that he would feel the drain when it unleashed that might. That's also why the small dragon had glanced back at Arthur, as if seeking his consent.

Both shared this power, a fact the small dragon clearly understood.

"Alright, that’s enough."

The small dragon seemed taken aback by my command, yet it obeyed, retracting the golden barrier it had spread out. The barrier shrank back to its usual coverage, enveloping just the capital's vicinity.

After pulling back the barrier, I questioned it: "How long can you maintain this?"

The small dragon cocked its head thoughtfully before shaking it side to side.

It wasn't indicating a short duration; rather, it meant it had no idea how long it could sustain it.

This little dragon proved far more powerful than I'd imagined, especially after witnessing it repel all those corruption energy monsters moments ago.

Nevertheless, I couldn't shake my curiosity about the source of this small dragon's strength.

More precisely, it was Arthur's power I pondered, as the small dragon drew its abilities from him.

If the power stemmed from me, it wouldn't add up, since I lacked the might for such a feat.

The only logical explanation was that Arthur had obtained some hidden blessing unknown to me.

At present, the key certainty was that the capital's barrier would endure. With this shield in place, we could defend the city for quite a while.

However, more corruption energy monsters kept swarming, appearing in endless numbers.

I recalled the sight from atop Joan's back as we flew toward the capital.

Countless more were en route, not just from Kite Kingdom lands but spilling over borders from neighboring nations. No surrounding country could halt a force this massive.

That said, we understood the reason behind their massive congregation.

With the barrier issue resolved, I inquired, "Is she in a safe place?"

No clarification was needed on who I meant; they responded immediately.

Everyone nodded, confirming Dorothy had been safely escorted long before.

Without any god’s messengers present, it was obvious they’d been assigned to protect her.

Thus, our sole task now was to endure as long as we could.

The forces of Destruction couldn't possess infinite troops, despite appearances. As they funneled everything here, the other racial alliance nations would soon escape their plights and dispatch aid.

All we needed was to persist until reinforcements arrived.

The capital's enveloping barrier gave us strong odds of success.

Yet, unforeseen developments could arise anytime.

The forces of Destruction had committed vast resources to this assault, judging by the corruption energy monster numbers. Who knew what aces they still held?

"Make sure that everyone is alert and focused. We can’t let a single gap appear in the defenses."

The ministers and generals were already aware, nodding in agreement before moving to their posts.

Each was prepared to face the onslaught, even at the cost of their lives.

Still, observing the growing corruption energy monster numbers, something felt off.

Every defensive breach that opened was swiftly filled by emerging corruption energy monsters.

Not to mention, their ranks continued to swell.
