Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2140: Showing the difference

"Crack."

At last, a chip had formed in War’s armour from the relentless barrage of attacks I launched.

Yet no joy stirred in me, as it had demanded endless time and countless strikes to achieve this.

All the while, War simply endured every blow I hurled at it without moving. This wasn’t a real battle—it felt like War was merely humoring me with its stillness.

Still, that chip confirmed my efforts were bearing fruit.

With sufficient time, we could erode War’s defences and shatter them completely.

Now a weak point had emerged in War’s defences thanks to the chip I carved out.

But at this moment, it clearly refused to remain passive any longer.

"I think this is enough to show you the difference between us. Now, it’s time to show you the true power of one of the Four Omens."

The moment War spoke, it lifted its hand and swiftly formed a sword of pure corruption energy.

Though the blade appeared ordinary, its overwhelming pressure dwarfed anything War had emitted before. This was evidently the full essence of War’s formidable might.

Meanwhile, that pressure kept building stronger with each passing second.

Just like War’s own power, which swelled the longer it lingered in this realm.

Drawing a deep breath, I kept up my assault.

This time around, unlike my previous all-around strikes, I directed every attack at one precise spot on War’s body.

"Nothing more than bug bites." War scoffed, ignoring the vulnerable area entirely.

War brimmed with utter confidence in withstanding whatever I dished out. Even targeting the chipped armour spot didn’t faze it in the slightest.

With the sword now formed, War unleashed a single devastating slash.

That lone swing birthed a massive wave of corruption energy, far deadlier than any threat I’d faced yet.

Only its sluggish pace allowed me to evade it, given its enormous reach.

But the real issue was...

"Sh*t, it’s heading for the city..."

Dodging me didn’t erase the corruption energy wave—it surged past, barreling toward the city’s protective barrier.

As anticipated, the barrier crumbled instantly under the wave’s onslaught. Yet no real harm followed, as counterstrikes rained down from the city itself.

The relic users had rushed in to neutralize it.

From what I saw, they poured their ultimate powers into stopping just this one attack from War.

One lone War matched the full force of every relic user we’d assembled.

And that came from a mere casual swing—undoubtedly, the sword brimmed with far greater devastation.

"Away from the city."

Lupus grasped this instantly from her movements, but sealing off that escape route in our cramped battlefield was no simple task.

But no other option existed.

Lupus ramped up her speed even more, a move I fully supported.

It would throw off my aim, but that hardly mattered anymore.

After all, the chipped armour spot was expanding rapidly, on the verge of breaking through. I no longer needed pinpoint precision—close hits would do to exploit it.

The danger was if War kept pounding the city.

Should it persist, we’d be utterly helpless.

Those strikes packed immense power, too much for us to reliably counter. I fretted over Arthur, forced to absorb the worst of it with his barrier.

But now wasn’t the moment to check on him.

Thankfully, War paid the city no heed.

Its gaze locked solely on me, tracking my every move. It targeted only me, and as long as we stayed away from the city’s front, no blows would fly its way.

"This isn’t right."

No matter how I pondered it, this approach made no strategic sense for War. Clearly, it was just toying with me through these strikes.

The instant War tired of this game and refocused on the city, it would all end in disaster.

So before that happened, I had to bring War down.

"If I gather everything and harden it as much as possible..."

That was my last shred of hope, so I committed to it.

"Charge."

At my command, Lupus barreled straight toward War.

Shockingly, War lowered its sword, utterly unfazed by the bold charge.

"Since you’re giving me the chance..."
