Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

The thing that I had pulled out was Durand.

The moment that it was pulled out, the priest immediately realized what it was since he could feel the evil energy that was coming from it.

But I didn't put it away as I said, "There's something strange that happened with this cursed sword and I need your help to figure out what happened."

The priest looked at me with a strange look when he heard this, but after a moment to gather his thoughts, he calmed down and said, "Alright, tell me what happened."

I gave a nod before telling him the story of how I obtained Durand and what happened when I grabbed hold of it.

"So in the end, the light disappeared and I have no idea what happened. However, when I used the sword, it didn't seem to curse me at all, so I can tell that something must have changed with the sword."

The priest knitted his brows when he heard this before standing up and saying, "Move back and let me take a look."

I stood up as well and gave the priest space to look at Durand on the table.

Before he started looking over Durand, the priest pulled out a cross from inside of his chest pocket and raised it up with one hand. He pointed this cross at Durand and started muttering something, as if he was trying to purify it.

There was a faint white light that appeared around the cross, but it quickly disappeared.

When it did, the priest couldn't help revealing a strange look.

Taking another moment to gather himself, the priest moved closer to Durand and started walking around the coffee table it was on. The way that he circled it made it seem like he was investigating it from every angle.

It was as if he was trying to find something about this sword.

But in the end, he gave a sigh like he wasn't able to see anything and sat back down.

When he sat down, I couldn't help asking, "Is something wrong?"

The priest didn't say anything at first as he kept looking at Durand on the table, but then he slowly said, "It isn't as if there's something wrong, it's just that…it's a very strange reaction."

I was even more confused when I heard the priest say this.

The priest knew that what he had said was confusing, so he added, "The feeling of this sword is completely different. There is still dark energy contained within this cursed sword, but it feels like there's something…that's suppressing it. This thing suppressing it almost feels holy."

Slowly the expression on my face changed as I realized something.

"Then you're saying that this sword is…"

The priest didn't say anything, but he did give a slow nod as if confirming what I was thinking.

I looked back down at Durand with a strange look.

After a long period of silence, I finally asked, "But how does something like this happen?"

The priest finally looked up after hearing this question, but he didn't look at me. Instead, his eyes went to the Mark of God that was on my hand.

I looked down at the Mark of God as well when I saw him looking at it.

After a bit of silence, the priest said, "It can only be considered the work of god."

This didn't really explain anything, but at the same time…this could be considered an answer.

After all, it was the power of the Mark of God that had changed Durand like this.

It seemed that somehow the Mark of God had purified the dark energy of Durand, suppressing the curse that came with it. That was why I didn't feel the pain of using Durand when I cut down that elf.

But would the Mark of God have this kind of power?

And what other powers would it have?

I couldn't help looking at the priest with a strange look, but he just shook his head.

After all, this was the first time that he was seeing it in real life.

Even if he had heard about the Mark of God before, it had rarely ever appeared in this world and was something that was considered a myth.

So seeing it for the first time really was something else.

The priest really didn't know how to react to this other than with awe and excitement.

Seeing this look on the priest's face, I could guess most of this…but I did want to know more about this thing.

Since it could do this, I was very curious about what else I could do with this Mark of God in the future.

After all, the more that I could do with it, the better it was for me.

The more trump cards that I had, the safer I would be.

So I said, "Is there any way to figure out what kind of powers this Mark of God has?"

The priest's eyes suddenly lit up as if he was already expecting this.

It even seemed like he had been waiting for me to say this.

He immediately stood up and leaned over the table to grab my shoulders before saying, "My lord, if you wish to learn more about this, then I will do all that I can to support you."

I revealed a bitter smile as I could guess what he wanted to do, but I also had some conditions.

"I want to learn a bit more about your religion, so can you teach me?"

The priest's eyes lit up even more when he heard this.

He had only been planning on examining the Mark of God with the count, but he never thought that he would also be asked to teach.

The privilege of being able to teach one that had the Mark of God, that was something that no one else had ever been given.

So of course he immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, I also nodded before saying, "Then let's do our best."
