Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2200: In just one day

The very next day, I was astonished to discover Alidus had transformed completely.

"That’s a domain..." I remarked, scrutinizing him with a peculiar gaze.

Alidus responded with evident pride etched on his features.

In tandem, everyone else observed him with similarly bewildered expressions.

After all, no one had anticipated such rapid advancement from him in a mere single day. He had, in fact, been the one facing the greatest difficulty in comprehending the flow of divine energy initially.

It was universally expected that he would be the last to grasp this concept.

Yet, he had now defied all expectations by being the first to successfully manifest a domain.

The sole question echoing in everyone’s minds was, "How did he achieve this?"

The sudden breakthrough seemed utterly inexplicable for Alidus.

Unperturbed, Alidus proceeded to demonstrate his newly acquired domain for all to witness.

During this exhibition, I diligently focused my attention on his domain, verifying its legitimacy. Despite my every attempt to probe its depths, I could detect no flaws in its structure. It appeared to be a perfectly formed domain.

From every angle, it presented as a genuine domain.

"Let’s put it to the test," I eventually declared with a sigh.

Alidus, showing absolutely no apprehension, readily assented to my proposal.

Indeed, the look of excitement on his face suggested he had eagerly awaited this very opportunity to showcase his domain.

As we prepared to spar, I unleashed my own domain, intending to exert pressure upon Alidus’ newly formed one.

Upon their initial contact, it became apparent that neither domain was on the verge of collapse. At the very least, it seemed robust enough to withstand a single forceful push without faltering.

However, it was undeniably clear that my domain held a superior strength, as Alidus’ domain began to recede.

It hadn't shattered instantly, but it was certainly being pushed back.

This disparity was attributable to experience; my domain had been cultivated over a significant period, whereas his had materialized just that day.

A vast gulf in experience separated us.

Nonetheless, Alidus refused to yield, even as his domain was being forced backward.

It appeared he was diligently channeling his domain’s power, undeterred by the pressure from my own.

Then, quite suddenly, he surged forward.

I recognized this extraordinary speed as a direct manifestation of his domain’s capabilities.

It was just that...

"Is that truly the extent of your domain’s power?"

My disappointment was not unique; the others shared it, finding Alidus’ domain’s demonstrated strength rather underwhelming. It offered merely a straightforward power augmentation.

Alidus remained silent, swinging his club directly at my domain.

In response, I conjured an array of weapons that streaked towards his descending club. However, not all of them struck simultaneously.

Within my domain, speed translated directly to power. I exploited this advantage by delivering a cascade of layered strikes—a relentless barrage one after another.

My intention wasn't merely to make Alidus’ task more arduous. This relentless assault was a deliberate tactic to gauge if his latent potential could be unlocked.

I harbored a strong conviction that this was not the full extent of his domain’s capabilities, prompting my effort to draw forth more of its inherent power.

Ultimately, the outcome was Alidus being sent hurtling backward by the sheer force of my onslaught.

"Is this truly all his domain can accomplish?"

Upon landing, Alidus showed no signs of conceding defeat and charged at me once more. Yet, the same result ensued; he was repelled by my offensive.

Before long, Alidus found himself completely exhausted.

Despite being the first to successfully form a domain, he had not yet achieved full mastery over it. His experience was nascent compared to mine, and his reserves of divine energy were significantly less.

"Huff, huff." Alidus lay panting on the ground, the sparring concluded.

I regarded him with a peculiar expression, remarking, "Well, keep at it. Even if you haven't unlocked your domain’s true potential, you have at least succeeded in forming one."

The others cast similar looks his way before dispersing to attend to their own matters.

After all, perhaps this was for the best.

It would have been rather awkward for Alidus if his domain’s sole contribution was a modest increase in strength.

Countless alternative paths to power existed, and his current domain application seemed somewhat inefficient.

"There’s no way a domain is this straightforward. It must possess some unique attribute," I mused internally, reflecting on Alidus’ domain. However, I decided to keep this thought to myself, as voicing it would offer no immediate benefit to him.
