Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 848 Dark crystals

The story that they created was that the demons were using these monster waves to disrupt the human kingdoms.

It wasn't just our kingdom that would be experiencing this increase in monster activity during this time, it was all of the human kingdoms that would be experiencing this.

That worked for the player since the increase in mobs would make it easier for them to gain experience and items.

As for how they were doing it...

Dark crystals.

That was how.

These were not normal crystals, but rather special crystals that increased aggression in monsters through dark magic. So even those monsters that would normally be docile would become aggressive after being exposed to the dark magic of these crystals.

As for why the demons had never used these before, it was because the story stated that these things had only been found recently. They had only obtained the dark crystals after a chance discovery and quickly installed them in the various human kingdoms to raise these monster waves.

This was the part of the story that seemed sloppy, but no one really thought about it since it was just a side story used to explain this event.

That was until someone actually went to the world that was based on the game.

"How do you know all of this?" Scar asked with narrowed eyes.

I didn't say anything in response to this as I just looked at him with a faint smile on my lips.

Naturally, I couldn't actually tell him why I knew all of this, so all I could do was smile and play it off.

Scar narrowed his eyes even more and even Cecilia and Shaka started looking at me with doubtful expressions, but they didn't push any further in the end.

If I wasn't willing to say anything, it wasn't as if they could force me to speak.

Especially since I was their superior now.

There was another part of the story that I didn't tell them since it was something that seemed unnecessary.

It was that the dark crystals that we were about to destroy were nothing more than receiving nodes. They weren't the main thing that was corrupting the monsters, but rather receiving nodes for the main thing.

The real artifact that the demons had found was a powerful dark crystal filled with dark mana that was being kept in the demon king's castle. All of the dark crystals that were in the lands of the human kingdoms were nothing more than receiving nods for the dark magic that would come from that powerful dark crystal.

As for why I knew this...

It was because this powerful dark crystal played an important role in the demon quest line in the future.

This was one of the reasons that I had liked this game so much.

The writers had made sure to take even the smallest details from a random explanation and incorporate them into quest lines further down.

It really made it feel like everything in this world was connected, which had made me dive deep into the lore of the game.

That was something that I was very grateful for since it gave me this advantage now that I was in this game world.

Seeing the look on my face, the other three looked at me with a strange look.

It was as if they didn't understand what was happening with me…but they didn't disturb me as I fell into my nostalgia.

After another silence, Cecilia suddenly asked, "So as long as we destroy these dark crystals, then everything will go back to normal?"

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard this, but I just gave a simple nod in response since there was nothing else for me to say.

But to my surprise, Cecilia knitted her brows, "How are you so sure that we'll be able to destroy these crystals?" This was a question that caught me even more off guard.

That was because this was a question that I didn't know how to answer.

After all, even I had never destroyed the crystals in the game before.

I only knew the general area that they were in since these were the areas that had the highest increase in monster activity. So I didn't actually even know where these crystals were exactly.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but it's better than doing nothing."

All three of them deeply knitted their brows when they heard this since this was not what they wanted to hear.

They had wanted assurance that we would be able to take care of this problem, but it seemed that even I didn't know how to solve this problem…

But they weren't surprised to hear this since they knew that this was a problem that was unprecedented. It wasn't strange that I didn't actually know the specifics of how to handle this problem.

I could see the way that they looked, so I did my best as the king to say, "For now, we just have to face the problem in front of us. When the time comes, we'll put our heads together and come up with a solution."

The three of them looked at me in silence for a bit before slowly nodding in agreement.

They knew that I was right, there was nothing to really discuss since we didn't know what the situation was.

For now, it is better not to show signs of worry since it might affect the others.

For now, they should try to act as calm as they can.

But seeing that the person who always seemed to know the answer didn't know what to do was a blow to them that was hard to recover from.

I didn't say anything as I just left them alone to stare out the window.

I also raised my hand to look at the ring that was on my hand.

This was the ring that I had obtained from the Nergigante Dukedom.

"Perhaps I can use this thing?" I said to myself.
