Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1109: Surprise gift



Half an hour later, we arrived at the training grounds.

The royal guards had been in the middle of their training when we arrived, so they were surprised to see us appearing here.

Klein looked like he wanted to lead a group over to help me, but I shook my head at him to show that we were fine.

Though he looked at me as if he had his doubts, he didn't come over in the end and just watched from the side.

The priest didn't seem to care at all about the way that he was being treated.

There was no doubt that he saw all of this since Klein and the others didn't hide the way that they looked at the priest. With the way that they looked at him, it was almost as if they wanted him to see them looking at him like this.

It was as if they wanted to put pressure on the priest so he wouldn't do anything that he shouldn't do.

Only the priest didn't seem to care as there was only one thing that was on his mind.

The look in his eyes was more than enough to show what he cared about.

The two of us stepped forward until we were in front of a wooden dummy and I turned to look at him as if I was asking him what I should do.

The priest just looked at me with a calm look on his face and said, "Just will the power of the ring to come forth."

A bitter smile appeared on my face when I heard this.

If that was all that was necessary, did I need you to come all this way to tell me this?

But then again, it wasn't as if this ring was mine in the first place.

It was the property and treasure of the Holy Empire, especially the Solista Religion.

If it wasn't for the fact that I had the Mark of God, they never would have allowed me to come in contact with it. They would have kept it in the safe place that they had kept this thing all this time.

So in a sense, it was only because he was here that I was able to use this ring.

I turned my attention back to the ring and then focused on it like I did with the Staff of Earth.

After tuning myself to the ring for a bit, I started to understand it and what it was capable of, just like with the Staff of Earth.

At that point, it only took a single thought for me to draw out the power of the ring.

All of a sudden, there were flames that appeared around my hand.

However, these flames didn't burn my hand.

These weren't even normal coloured flames, these were white flames that didn't seem to have any heat to them at all with the way that they wrapped around me.

These were the sacred flames that were released by the ring.

With these sacred flames, it would have been even easier to take out the lich since these were flames made from divine power. They had a natural ability to purify anything that they came in touch with.

With them, the lich wouldn't have stood a chance.

After looking at the flames for a bit, I suddenly pointed at the wooden dummy that was in front of me. The moment that I did, the flames immediately reacted and jumped at the wooden dummy that was there.

Once the flames wrapped around the wooden dummy, it didn't last a single second as it was turned into ashes.

The intense heat that came from the flames hit me right in the face and I could tell from that just how powerful these flames were. It only made sense that the wooden dummy didn't last a single second against these flames.

These were the flames of a god after all.

Once the flames had finished burning the wooden dummy, I gave a satisfied nod at this.

The power that these flames had really was satisfying.

It was just that I didn't get the time to enjoy this as a feeling of dizziness came over me and I couldn't help swaying.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Seeing this, Klein and some of the other royal guards came forward as if they wanted to catch me.

I stopped myself from falling and stood firm before waving my hand at them to show that I was fine.

It was the same problem as with the Staff of Earth, this thing had bad mileage. It took a lot of mana just to activate the power of this ring and there was no safety feature that stopped it from draining mana if the person using it was running low.

So that was why I felt weak after using the ring.

Once I recovered, I took the ring off my finger with a bit of hesitation before handing it back to the priest.

But to my surprise, the priest raised his hand to stop me before saying, "Your majesty, there's no need for you to give it back. You can take this as a present from our Holy Empire to you."

I immediately knitted my brows the moment that I heard this.

After all, there was no free lunch in this world.

There had to be something that they wanted in return for this ring.

Especially since it was a sacred relic that was one of a kind in this world.

After silently watching the way that I looked at him, the priest finally said, "All that we ask for

is for your highness to come to our Holy Empire as soon as possible."

He still didn't say what his intentions were, he just wanted me to go to the Holy Empire.

But the bait that he used really was enticing this time...

A sacred item definitely wasn't something that could be bought with money and at the same time, I had already decided to go, it was just that I hadn't thought of a good time yet.

If they were going to give me this, wasn't this the perfect excuse?
