Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2076: They move fast

Previously on Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure...
After a week of relentless work in the workshop, mass-producing weapons with Queenie's help, the protagonist emerges to meet the anxious representatives of the racial alliance. The alliance presses for updates on the promised weapons amid rising corruption energy threats from the forces of Destruction. Revealing insights from a divine trial, he shares a map of elementals in need of rescue to halt the invasion and offers the weapons as incentives to secure troops from the smaller nations, sparking a fierce competition among the representatives to contribute their strongest soldiers.

Just one day was all it took to get everything ready.

With preparations complete, the nations in the racial alliance sprang into action with incredible swiftness.

In particular, the smaller nations depending on the distributed weapons dispatched their troops right away to grab them without delay.

These arms were vital for their nations' survival ahead, leaving no room for any procrastination.

Distributing these weapons posed no challenge, given the racial alliance's all-out effort. The vast resources they commanded ensured swift delivery without any holdups.

Moreover, escorts were assigned due to the weapons' critical importance.

Such an arrangement was feasible only because the racial alliance pooled the continent's full resources. Absent that, far fewer helpers would have been on hand.

Ultimately, every marked spot on the map received protection.

Revealing the elemental sealing sites might appear counterproductive, yet it truly wasn't, as the Destruction forces could never breach them anyway.

Seals on these sites blocked any intrusion by those forces.

A massive array over the entrance barred all access.

The primary purpose was shielding the elementals from the Destruction forces intent on pursuing them.

Thus, unless something disrupted these arrays and exposed the elementals to the Destruction forces, the corruption energy couldn't touch them.

That's precisely why disclosing these spots carried no risk.

Should corruption energy appear, the armed soldiers could repel it effortlessly with the supplied gear.

"They really move fast when their own benefits are involved." The thought crossed my mind inevitably as I reviewed the reports of all the events.

Yet, I needed to act with equal urgency.

The core of this effort was rescuing the elementals in peril, so dawdling wasn't an option for me.

Additionally, aiding the elementals promptly would calm the Destruction forces that much quicker.

With the elementals' traces resealed, they ought to cease agitating the Destruction forces. At least, that was my conviction from all that Solista had shared.

However, the chief motivation was...

"You should solve this matter as soon as possible."

All my wives agreed on this point without exception.

Each one acted as if I'd stirred up this mess myself, making it my duty to fix it.

That's why they were practically shoving me out of our house to handle it.

Though the true driver behind their push to resolve it was its toll on Dorothy.

Despite assurances that she bore no blame, guilt shadowed her features constantly. She obviously blamed herself for the rampant corruption energy everywhere.

Therefore, they urged me to wrap it up without further ado.

The simplest approach was dispatching me to the trouble spots to reseal the elementals.

Yet, it wasn't quite that straightforward, with numerous sites to visit and the corruption energy to confront.

Unsealing any elemental site would undoubtedly trigger a response from the corruption energy.

Beyond that, satisfying the elementals' demands would consume considerable time.

For the last task, restoring the central rock pillar would revive the rock elementals' homeland.

Though uncertain about the other elementals' wishes, I suspected they'd be no less demanding.

Nevertheless, they plainly stated, "Don’t come home until you’re done."

Harsh words for a husband, but their stern gazes left me speechless in retort.

Consequently, I hurried off to the initial site.

"You got here quickly." This greeting upon arrival drew a wry smile from me.

Still, I skipped any justification and began scanning for traces of divine energy.

These traces would reveal the elemental seal's position here.

Unlike the lifeless zone sealing the rock elementals, this area lacked all warmth.

An eerie chill permeated the air, freezing everything in sight.

It ranked as yet another forbidden zone on the continent.

Earlier map checks against the empires' charts showed all elementals confined to such prohibited regions.

I couldn't fathom the reason, but it held no real significance.

Finding the target proved swift, thanks to my clear objective.

Unlike before, no rocks marked this array's nodes.

Instead, icicles stood as the array's key points this time.

Even so, they responded identically when I unleashed divine energy nearby.
