Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2317: Drawing them in (5)

If there was one thing that this Apostle of Destruction was good at other than hiding, it was running.

Though it wasn’t as if the speed of the Apostle of Destruction alone would have been enough for it to run away. It was all because it kept throwing the corruption energy monsters at me.

With these corruption energy monsters getting in the way, it really was annoying having to cut through them.

With all of them getting in the way, it was even actually getting a bit ahead of me.

So in the end, I really had no choice but to reach into my pocket where a certain item was hiding.

I didn’t use the full power of this thing, but it was enough that it impeded the corruption energy monsters around me. With my control of this thing, I could even use it to slow down the Apostle of Destruction in front of me without it noticing.

Though it certainly did notice when I was getting closer.

That was when there were spikes of corruption energy that came out of the ground.

These spikes that came out of the ground weren’t just normal spikes either, these were made from concentrated corruption energy.

It was something that was much stronger than any of the corruption energy monsters that came at me previously.

However, this was far from being enough to stop me. Even if they were stronger than the normal corruption energy monsters, they were still weaker than me.

Which was why it only took a single wave of my hand and a single slash of the divine energy flame sword to cut through these spikes like a hot knife through butter. There was no resistance at all that came from these spikes.

Only these spikes didn’t just come from out of the ground.

There was something that was actually attached to these spikes.

It wasn’t as if these were single attacks, it was something that could attack continuously as more spikes were being gathered. After all, these were corruption energy monsters as well that were attacking me.

These corruption energy monsters were different from the normal ones.

It was obvious that this was something that had been modified by the Apostle of Destruction. It should be something that served as a kind of personal guard for the Apostle of Destruction.

Which meant that these corruption energy monsters were far stronger than the normal ones.

At the same time, it didn’t seem like they had a will of their own.

They were creatures that only lived for orders and lived to protect the one that they served, even if they gave their lives for it. But that was just how it was for most of the corruption energy monsters in the first place.

Their instincts were to serve those greater than them.

Still, it wasn’t as if these things were a match for me.

All it took were a few flame blades to pin them into the ground, making them completely unable to move. Even the spikes that had been coming out of them were completely suppressed as they couldn’t make more spikes with the divine energy flames purifying them.

I didn’t waste any time on them as I used the power of the stopwatch once more to pin down the Apostle of Destruction.

With another wave of my hand, there was something that was pulled out of the ground.

It seemed like this Apostle of Destruction had the ability to dig into the ground and hide itself since I had used my blades of divine flame to push it out of the ground.

When the Apostle of Destruction appeared, it didn’t waste any time trying to fight.

This Apostle of Destruction just simply didn’t have any combat abilities at all.

It was the kind of Apostle of Destruction that specialized in something else.

However, why was it attacking this place?

"How dare you? I am the Great Lord of Destruction’s most trusted subordinate and you dare to ruin the land that he purified?"

I couldn’t help being caught off guard by the first thing that this Apostle of Destruction said. I even had to do a double take to make sure that I had heard the right thing.

But there really was no mistaking it since this Apostle of Destruction didn’t seem to stop here.

It was still going on about how it was the great subordinate of the powerful God of Destruction while it was still in the air. Though if one looked closely, they could see that this Apostle of Destruction had a reason for doing all of this.

This Apostle of Destruction was saying all of this as a distraction as it was trying to figure out a way to escape.

Only this wasn’t possible as I had created even more blades of divine energy flames around it. I was creating a cage with all of these blades to make sure that there was nowhere for this Apostle of Destruction to go.

Of course, the Apostle of Destruction also knew this, so it was trying to get the corruption energy monsters to try and save it.

"Do I really have to reveal myself?"

Currently, I was fighting at the rate of a normal relic user.

It wasn’t as if I didn’t have a way to deal with this Apostle of Destruction, it was just that I would have to use far more power than a normal relic user if I were to do this. Once that happened, there was no doubt that someone would recognize me.

But if I didn’t, then this Apostle of Destruction might get away and this place would be targeted again by the Forces of Destruction.

Between the two options, it was more favourable to take out this Apostle of Destruction now instead of leaving loose ends.

"Charge!"

As I was contemplating what to do, there was a cry that came from behind me.

Right after that, there were divine energy attacks that flew right past me.
