Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 525 Dungeon exploration (5)

The one that they were operating on was the knight that had been a part of the shield wall.

Seeing the mushrooms that were growing from his shoulder, this knight revealed a bitter smile and said, "It seems that my ti has co. I thought that I was careful enough, but now it seems that I was just fooling myself."

He turned to the others and said, "Give so alcohol for the pain and put out of my misery. I trust that you will all take care of my family after this."

Everyone around him had conflicted looks when they heard this.

On one hand, they didn't want to see him suffering in pain like this, but on the other hand…they really couldn't think of a way to cure this.

As many of them seed like they were going to give up hope, there was one that didn't have the sa look of despair as everyone else.

I had been carefully looking at the mushrooms that were growing from the knight's shoulder, as if I was trying to find sothing special about it.

The way that the roots extended down into the knight, it seed like it was more than just a parasite. It seed that it was living and growing, as if the mushroom would beco sothing much bigger if it was left alone.

Since the mushroom was alive, then it ant that it was able to regrow its cells…

But if that was cut off, would it still be able to regenerate?

After thinking for a bit, I suddenly pulled out sothing terrifying.

Everyone was shocked to see this thing appear.

Cecilia even asked, "What are you doing pulling that out now? The battle is already over."

The thing that I had pulled out was Durand.

All of them were shocked to see this thing appear, but I didn't care as I ca right up against the knight lying on the ground.

Seeing bring that sword over, the knight couldn't help being terrified as he said, "My lord, what are you doing? I know that I asked to be put down, but that sword…is just too terrifying!"

I ignored him as I brought Durand over to his shoulder and with the way that I was holding it, it seed like I was about to cut him with Durand.

But before I could, Cecilia suddenly ca forward to grab my hand.

When she did, she couldn't help wincing as she felt so kind of stinging coming from her hand.

She didn't know what it was, but she could guess that it was coming from the evil looking sword that I was holding.

But still, she held firm as she didn't let bring this sword down to the knight's shoulder.

As she held my hand, Cecilia asked in a calm voice, "What are you doing?"

Though it was spoken in a calm voice, it was clear that she wouldn't let do what I wanted to do unless she approved of it.

So unless I gave her a proper explanation, she would even go against .

I wasn't surprised or angry, I understood why she was doing this.

This knight was one of her n, so she had to take care of him.

It was her duty as their commander.

I looked at her and calmly said, "I have a way to save him, but I need to see if it'll work first."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this before there were bits of hope that appeared in their eyes.

Naturally they would want to save this knight if they could, but they had almost given up hope when they had failed with everything that they had tried.

Now that I had brought back this hope, they naturally wanted to bet on .

But Cecilia wasn't that easily convinced.

She narrowed her eyes to look at Durand in my hand before looking at .

It was clear that she still had her doubts about all of this as she said, "How are you planning on doing that?"

However, I didn't bother explaining what I was planning to do.

I knew that it was better to show her what I was doing than to explain it since it would make a more compelling case.

I looked at her and calmly said, "All I want to do is cut the mushroom with this sword. Once I do, you'll see what effect it has."

Cecilia knitted her brows when she heard this.

When they had tried to cut the mushroom earlier, it had caused indescribable pain to the knight, so it wasn't sothing that she wanted to do again…

But there was no better solution right now, so she started to hesitate.

The knight was the one that made the decision in the end.

"I want to try it."

Everyone was surprised to hear him suddenly say this.

Cecilia looked down at the knight as if she was trying to make sure that he was certain of this, but the knight just gave a firm nod.

With that, she released the hand that was holding the hilt of Durand, but she also didn't move away. She made sure to stay right behind just in case anything happened.

Since I had been given the go ahead, I brought Durand up and put it right against the stalk of the mushroom.

Then in one swift motion, I brought the sword forward to cut the top part of the mushroom off.

When that happened, the knight imdiately braced himself as he felt the roots inside of his skin start to move. It seed like the sa thing as before would happen where the roots would start draining him of his life essence to regrow the mushroom.

When Cecilia saw this, she imdiately narrowed her eyes to glare at .

However, I just ignored this as I waited to see what happened next.

In the end, the mushroom roots stopped shaking and settled again.

The top of the mushroom didn't grow back.

It was as if there was sothing that was inhibiting it.
