Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 746 Relic

Chapter 746 Relic

??When the white flash of light disappeared, I found that I was back in the Earthen Temple, standing in front of the statue of Terra.

There was a bitter smile that crept onto my face when I saw this statue.

After all, I had seen the real Terra and...I could say that this statue didn't seem similar to him at all.

While I didn't see his face, I had definitely seen the way that he acted and I knew that he didn't match this statue at all. This statue was of a serious and aloof looking god, not the one that I had actually seen.

Though I'm sure that no one would believe me if I were to tell anyone about this.

So I just shook my head with that same bitter smile on my face before walking out of the Earthen Temple.

The moment that I came out, I was immediately swarmed by those people who had been waiting outside for me.

It was Elsa, Cecilia, and the Dwarven King who led this group.

As they surrounded me, they all asked me different things, but the gist of it was that they wanted to know what had happened inside.

I just simply raised my hands and showed them the two marks that were on them now.

The moment that they saw this, they all revealed shocked looks.

The Dwarven King was the most shocked, but he was also the first one to recover as he quickly came forward to grab my hand.

The hand that he grabbed was the one that had the mark that Terra had given me.

As he looked at it, he slowly said, "This mark, it really is as the books described them..."

I was a bit confused when I heard this, but the Dwarven King didn't wait as he started pulling me into the Earthen Temple. As he did, he said, "Come with me, there's something that I need to show you."

However, I didn't follow him this time.

To the Dwarven King's surprise, he found that he wasn't able to pull me anymore when I suddenly stopped. It was also a surprise to me since I didn't think that I would be strong enough to stop him like this.

The Dwarven King immediately turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

I looked at the others of my group and said, "They can't come with me. Can't you just bring it out to show me?"

The Dwarven King hesitated a bit, but he eventually gave a nod before heading in with a group of dwarves that were in robes.

This group of dwarves in robes were the ones that were in charge of this Earthen Temple.

So they were similar to the priest of the church in my town.

It was just that they had a much higher position since they were in charge of the religion of the dwarves that worshipped the God of Earth, Terra. Their positions should be compared to the pope and cardinals from the human religion that worshipped Solista that the priest of my town was from.

Though comparing the two, the religion worshiping Terra was definitely smaller.

After a while, the Dwarven King and those dwarves in robes came out carrying something.

This thing seemed to be some kind of large rectangular box that contained something.

When they brought it out, they placed it in front of me and then opened the lid to reveal what was inside.

It was a staff.

It was just a simple staff that didn't seem to have any decorations on it.

The only thing that was different about this staff was at the very end of it where there was something that seemed to be a ball of dirt. It was strange to see a ball of dirt on the staff, but it seemed that it had been compacted enough that it didn't break apart.

After placing this box in front of me, they all just looked at me as if they were waiting for me to do something.

I just looked at the staff that was there inside of the box before slowly reaching my hand out towards it.

The hand that I reached out was naturally the hand that had Terra's mark on it.

When I grabbed the staff, the mark suddenly lit up with a brown light.

Seeing this, the Dwarven King revealed a look like he had already expected this.

But the dwarves in robes behind him…they suddenly dropped to their knees and started praying.

I knew that they weren't praying to me, but rather to the mark that was glowing on the back of my hand. Still, it was awkward for me when there were people on their knees in front of me praying.

I turned to the Dwarven King and asked, "So, what is this all about?"

The Dwarven King didn't answer at first as he looked at the staff that was in my hand, but he eventually said, "This is a relic that was left to us by the God of Earth, Terra. It's said that it contains magical powers, but it's not something that can be used by mortals. Only those that have been blessed by the God of Earth, Terra can use it."

I gave a nod in response before focusing on the staff.

I could feel a connection coming from it through my hand, so I decided to see what I could do with it.

Waving the hand that held the staff, the ball of dirt at the end of the staff suddenly started to glow with the same brown light that was coming from the back of my hand.

As it did, the ground underneath me started to move.

It was only a bit of movement at first before it formed a platform under me.

I didn't know what I was supposed to do with this staff, so I had left it up to the staff to show me its powers.

It turned out that it had the power to move the earth, which should have been expected.

I was about to say something, but I felt a strong wave of powerlessness fill me before I suddenly started falling forward.
