Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2214: A few domains (2)

Fortunately for me, numerous individuals were present who could serve as test subjects for these theories.

They were even eager to be subjected to these tests, desiring a clash with my domain.

Given this eagerness, there was truly no reason for me to restrain myself.

The next challenger to step forward was the saintess.

She offered no restraint, unleashing her domain and forcefully colliding it with mine.

The domain conjured by the saintess was precisely what one would anticipate from such a holy figure.

It possessed the ability to manipulate light within its designated space.

However, its power extended beyond mere light control; it focused the light to such an extent that it transformed into...

"Laser beams..."

I found myself quite taken aback by the saintess's nonchalant use of laser beams, yet it wasn’t as though I was incapable of countering them.

This capability stemmed from my knowledge of specific materials adept at blocking and absorbing light.

This insight originated from my previous life, a secret unknown to anyone in this world. Nevertheless, this knowledge provided the perfect defense against the saintess's laser onslaught.

With her ultimate attack rendered impotent, the saintess was left with no further recourse.

After all, this represented the zenith of power achievable through light manipulation.

Beyond this, her only remaining options involved diminishing or amplifying ambient light.

While effective for creating diversions and visual obstruction, these actions lacked any significant destructive force.

A look of bitter disbelief crossed the saintess's face as she regarded me, seemingly unable to comprehend how I had devised a counter to her lasers.

Yet, I could hardly divulge the source of my strategy.

It was the fruit of countless individuals' dedicated efforts from my past existence.

Aside from these two exceptional cases, the other domains presented no particular cause for remark.

Despite being classified as domains, they lacked any discernible unique qualities.

This was hardly surprising, as not everyone could achieve the same developmental pace as the elder Lancelot and the saintess.

Both of them were truly exceptional.

Elder Lancelot, once the most formidable knight on the continent, possessed an unparalleled depth of experience. He could effortlessly leverage this vast experience to bridge any gaps in his current capabilities.

As for the saintess, her life had been one of constant communion with the divine.

She possessed the innate ability to perceive and distill divine energy into a tangible domain.

Their foundations, however, were fundamentally different from those of the others.

Therefore, this difference was not inherently negative.

It simply meant they required a more concerted effort to fully realize their domains.

Engaging in spar with them undeniably provided certain insights into avenues for their domain's further development. After all, identifying the weaknesses in one's own techniques is the most effective method for discerning areas needing improvement.

My overwhelming victory with my domain naturally allowed them to recognize the deficiencies within their own.

However, the greatest beneficiary of this exchange was undeniably myself.

"So, aside from speed, knowledge appears to be the paramount factor."

Throughout the sparring matches involving their domains, I had drawn upon my understanding of this world's diverse laws to completely neutralize their respective domains. Such an feat would have been impossible without the knowledge acquired in my prior life.

Even the limited knowledge I possessed proved sufficient to devise these countermeasures that rendered them utterly ineffective.

"It's becoming difficult to ascertain whether this is magic or science..."

Yet, even when considering divine emanations, the fundamental laws governing this world remain constant, representing the bedrock principles of nature.

Consequently, as long as I possessed awareness of these laws, I could achieve feats unattainable by others wielding similar power.

Beyond this, I could discern that my own domain had grown more potent as a result of these confrontations.

It was through the subjugation of other domains that I solidified the strength of my own and fostered its growth.

"It’s precisely as Insectum stated. The firmer one’s conviction in their domain, the greater its power becomes."

Initially, I interpreted this as mere encouragement to fully utilize a domain's unique characteristics, but now I understood that a profound, inherent belief underlay this principle.

After neutralizing all the others, only Alidus remained.

He had observed from the sidelines throughout the entire process, seemingly reluctant to engage in a spar, yet he eventually stepped forward to participate.

While I was uncertain what he might reveal, my expectations were not particularly high. After all, I had already witnessed Alidus's capabilities firsthand and possessed knowledge of his domain's function.

It was precisely for this reason that I had intended to offer him an opportunity to withdraw.
