Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2095: Making her a supervisor (2)

Once the blade was completed, they approached me to display the final result.

Rather than examining the blade itself, I snatched the orb from Dorothy’s grasp to inspect it closely.

Surprise flickered across her features as I reached for the orb, yet she passed it to me without any objection.

Truth be told, I could sense its diminished strength without even glancing at it, but my true intent in grabbing it was to infuse it with additional divine energy, restoring what had been depleted during the blade's forging.

After completing the infusion, I returned the orb to her and remarked, "You’re not using your power."

Confusion etched itself onto Dorothy’s expression upon hearing my words.

Evidently, she had no clue what I intended, so I pressed on, explaining, "That power you usually keep bottled up—let it loose as you channel the orb’s energy."

Hesitation clouded Dorothy’s face in response to my suggestion.

This reaction was hardly unexpected, given how this power had unwittingly instilled fear in her due to its profound impact. Accepting it wasn’t simple, despite our gradual efforts to train her in wielding it merely to better contain it.

Forcing the issue wasn’t an option, thus I patiently awaited her willingness to embrace it and unleash the power herself.

Following an extended pause, Dorothy clenched the orb tightly again.

As she did so, a surge of corruption energy emanated alongside it.

Predictably, a fierce confrontation erupted between the corruption energy and the divine energy.

Upon colliding, the opposing energies appeared to neutralize one another, vanishing in the process.

Realizing this wasn’t my desired outcome, Dorothy ceased channeling the corruption energy.

Yet, just as she halted, I abruptly interjected, "Why are you stopping? Keep going."

My words startled Dorothy, though she refrained from obeying this time. Naturally, she was utterly baffled by my instruction, especially since I could plainly observe the events unfolding.

The divine energy was evidently being siphoned from the orb due to its conflict with the corruption energy.

It made little sense for me to urge her onward when the sole result would be depleting the orb’s divine energy further.

Nevertheless, I responded with composure, "It’s fine if you don’t succeed at first. You learn from your failures, so you’ll be able to slowly control it."

An odd expression crossed her features, accompanied by a hint of reluctance.

Still, I regarded her steadily, conveying encouragement through my gaze.

Through persistent practice, she would ultimately master blending the corruption energy with the divine energy.

No one enters this world innately skilled at everything, after all—it’s a skill she must acquire step by step.

Moreover, replenishing the orb with fresh divine energy posed no difficulty for me whenever it waned. Therefore, squandering its current reserves held no consequence for her.

After another prolonged silence, Dorothy seized the orb anew and concentrated on infusing it with corruption energy.

Bolstered by the encouragement, a portion of the doubt in her eyes seemed to fade away.

Now, it remained only to demonstrate that such trust was well-founded.

While channeling her corruption energy, Dorothy sensed it wasn’t proceeding as intended.

Regardless of her efforts to guide it, it collided with the orb’s divine energy, resulting in a mutual annihilation upon contact.

Each such collision led to a loss of energy from the orb.

Dorothy showed no signs of mastering the technique, as the divine energy continued to ebb away relentlessly. It appeared inevitable that the orb would soon be utterly exhausted.

Witnessing this, I instinctively glanced at Queenie, hoping for some guidance from her.

Instead, I found Queenie quietly observing from the sidelines as Dorothy persisted.

Her vigilant gaze indicated no waning of her engagement.

Simply put, her expertise didn’t extend to this particular challenge.

Instructing Dorothy on managing the divine energy orb was one skill set, but guiding her in taming the corruption energy was an entirely separate endeavor.

Such matters lay far beyond the ken of a god’s messenger.

Ultimately, we observed as Dorothy endeavored to manipulate the divine energy orb precisely as I had envisioned.

"Let me refill it." I declared, stepping closer with my hand extended, yet Dorothy remained absorbed in her task, seemingly oblivious to my voice.

That’s why I extended my arm to retrieve the orb and snap her from her concentration.

However, prior to making contact, a shift occurred in the orb’s emanating waves. One force began to dominate, evident from the altered nature of those pulsations.

Before long, the divine energy gained the upper hand.

She hadn’t ceased employing the corruption energy.

Rather, she had discovered the method to integrate it into the divine energy of creation.
