Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure
Chapter 1530 1530: Weakening seal (5)

I thought that once the Apostle of Destruction was trapped, it would try to find a way to save its life.

But it turned out that I was completely wrong.

Instead of answering the question in a way that I had expected it to, the Apostle of Destruction suddenly started to laugh. It was clear that this Apostle of Destruction was laughing at me rather than laughing for the sake of laughing.

It was clear that it was laughing at the fact that I expected it to say something.

In the end, the Apostle of Destruction didn't say a single thing.

Before I could even react to what was happening, it suddenly seemed to swell up.

This swelling was small enough at first that one might not have noticed it, but it didn't take long for this swelling to increase in size. It seemed to be going faster and faster with the way that the Apostle of Destruction continued to swell.

With the way that it was swelling, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before it exploded.

Seeing this, I raised the Staff of Earth and the button in both hands to control the divine energy ice and divine energy earth.

The ice that had been surrounding the Apostle of Destruction finally covered up its head and completely turned this Apostle of Destruction into a ball of ice.

The earth spikes that had been around the Apostle of Destruction broke down and the divine energy earth that made up those spikes surrounded it. The divine energy earth that broke down wrapped all around the Apostle of Destruction before creating a ball of divine energy earth around it.

This was a complete ball that sealed the Apostle of Destruction in two layers, one of divine energy ice and divine energy earth.

Even then, I didn't feel assured, so I looked at Ariel and Joan.

The two of them understood at once and did the same thing as me.

There was a layer of mist and a layer of flames that appeared around the ball.

However, the layer of mist and layer of flames didn't really seem as powerful as the layer of earth and ice.

In the end, the layer of ice and earth weren't even broken.

There was a sound that came from inside of the ball that made it clear that there was some kind of explosion that happened, but it didn't seem like the explosion that happened inside of the ball was strong enough to break it.

It seemed that the explosion that the Apostle of Destruction created was just too weak to break free.

However, I didn't release this ball even though it seemed like it was over.

I closed my eyes and focused on what was inside of the ball before finally opening it up.

There were pieces of the cloak that the Apostle of Destruction wore, but the Apostle of Destruction completely disappeared without a trace. It really seemed like the Apostle of Destruction had blown themselves up.

This kind of fanaticism really was something…

But it only made sense that they were this devoted to the God of Destruction since they were an apostle.

It would most likely be the same for one of the popes or archbishops of the churches.

The problem was that since the Apostle of Destruction had blown itself up, we didn't actually know how to handle the Relic of Destruction that had its seal weakened.

Even though the Apostle of Destruction had blown itself up, whatever was weakening the seal hadn't disappeared. It seemed that whatever it was that weakening the seal hadn't been dispelled because the Apostle of Destruction was gone.

It really seemed like at this rate, it was only a matter of time before the seal on the Relic of Destruction broke.

If it broke just like that, there was no telling what would happen.

So I had to figure out a way to seal it again…or at least stop whatever was breaking the seal and preserve what was left.

Tossing the pieces that remained from the Apostle of Destruction aside, I went towards the Relic of Destruction.

But the moment that I did, there was a wave of corruption energy that came from the Relic of Destruction. It was aimed only at me who was approaching the Relic of Destruction, as if this was some kind of self defense mechanism.

It seemed that the Relic of Destruction was stopping anyone from getting close to it until it broke its seal.

Before I could do anything though, there was a wave of flames that came from behind me. These flames went right past me and hit the wave of corruption energy head on and stalled it.

It wasn't enough to completely purify the corruption energy, but it was enough to stop it to give me a chance to do something.

I didn't waste any time in raising the Staff of Earth to send out earth spikes.

These earth spikes blew through this wave of corruption energy and landed around the Relic of Destruction. After landing, the same thing happened where the earth spikes embedded themselves into the ground in a circle around the Relic of Destruction.

They created another cage around the Relic of Destruction to prevent it from doing anything else.

With this cage created, the corruption energy stopped leaking out of the Relic of Destruction.

The remaining bit of corruption energy that was still left was cleared out by Ariel and Joan.

Before approaching it again, I said to the others, "Clear out this area and keep them away from the Relic of Destruction. I'll figure out a way to deal with it."

As soon as they heard this, the holy knights, priests, and royal guards all spread out in different directions to deal with the remaining corruption energy around us.

It was only Joan and Ariel who remained by my side just in case something happened.

Though I said that I would deal with this Relic of Destruction, I really had no idea what I would do about it.
