Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure
Chapter 1522 1522: Strange creature

With Joan's flame breath clearing the corruption energy out, it didn't take long before it was restrained.

Once that happened, Ariel came forward to create a mist that suppressed the corruption energy once more.

Seeing this, the group from the Holy Empire let out a sigh of relief since they had been about to be overwhelmed by this corruption energy. But now it seemed that someone had come to save and reinforce them.

When the wyverns landed, they immediately came forward to greet me.

"Holy Son!"

All of them had enthusiastic and respectful voices which made it clear that they knew who I was.

But it did make a bitter smile appear on my face to hear this.

After all, these were holy knights and priests from the Holy Empire. As the king of a separate nation, it was strange that they would address me like this.

Still, I didn't let myself be distracted by this since there was something that was more important to handle right now.

"Tell me what happened here."

The leader of the holy knights and the high priest nodded in agreement before leading the way to a tent that they had set up as their headquarters.

But once we arrived, they stopped the others from following us in.

I would have said something, but I could tell that whatever we were about to discuss was important. So in the end, I asked the others to wait outside for me.

"Holy Son, as you have requested, we have been searching for the Relics of Destruction and stumbled upon this place." Once the leader of the holy knights said this, he started going into detail about the different things that they encountered since coming here to search.

As he went through this story, I listened carefully to see if there was anything off about what he said. However, it didn't seem like it was that special of a story since he was just describing how they searched for the ruins.

"In the end, we only found this place because of a sudden surge of corruption energy that brought our attention here."

The moment that he said this, I couldn't help knitting my brows and asking, "So you're saying that this corruption energy appeared before you went into the ruins? You're saying that it was the corruption energy that appeared that drew you to this place?"

The leader of the holy knights gave a heavy nod.

That just made me knit my brows deeper.

If they found this place on their own and the corruption energy appeared after that, then it would be fine.

But for the corruption energy to appear first was a problem.

This meant that something had happened inside of the ruins that had caused this corruption energy to appear. For something to happen inside of this place, it meant that the forces of Destruction weren't far behind.

"What else have you found? Don't bother telling me the entire story, just give me the key details." I said in a serious voice.

The leader of the holy knights nodded before giving a look to the head priest.

The head priest nodded in response before leaving the tent.

When he came back, there was a sack that was in his hands that he dragged into the tent. He brought this sack all the way in front of me and slowly opened the top of the sack.

The moment that he did, there was a head that poked out.

But before this head could do anything, the head priest immediately closed the opening of the sack so that only the head could come out. The rope that closed the sack was closed around the neck of this thing and stopped it from coming out.

Though only the head came out, that was more than enough for me to see what kind of strange thing this was.

However, there was a strange look on my face as I looked at this creature.

That was because this creature seemed strangely familiar.

It was as if I had seen it somewhere before and I knew exactly where it was since it was hard to mistake it.

"Oi, isn't this copyright infringement? This is clearly from a different game!"

This was a creature that was completely black in nature and almost seemed like a bug, but it was also a creature that walked on two legs.

It was from a game that had a plot about stopping the forces of darkness and a main character that had a blade that was shaped like a key…

Since it was from a different game, there was no way that the game that this world was based on should have had access to this design. If they had actually done something like this, then they would have been sued by that other company and that other company was no joke.

So what were these creatures doing here?

"Where did you find this thing?"

"It came from inside the ruins. It was one of the things that came out when we first approached the ruins."

"Why did you keep it in this sack then?"

The leader of the holy knights and the high priests revealed bitter smiles when they heard this. However, instead of explaining why they did this, they picked something up from the side and tossed it at this thing.

This thing bit down on this piece of wood that was thrown and it immediately started to turn black.

It seemed that this thing was made of corruption energy with the way that it spread it.

"The sack is made of special holy material that seems to work on restraining the corruption energy." The leader of the holy knights explained.

So that explained the sack, but that still didn't explain what this creature was.

However, I could tell that they had no explanation for this either based on the looks on their faces.

Instead of asking them what this creature was, it was better to dive into the ruins myself to see what I could find.

At the same time, it wasn't as if the forces of Destruction in the ruins were just going to wait for us.
