Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 249 - Into The Whirlpool We Go

Krrrsh!

Quasi-divine tribulation lightning erupted from my body!

****

The air exploded under the release of the tempestuous energy, and both Lu Pei and Yaomu Baiyin stared at me with gaping mouths.

Nice!

Yaomu Shou wore a satisfied smile when she saw their expressions. She must feel pretty proud of me and I must admit, it felt good knowing it was all me.

Whoosh!

I summoned the use of a new type of energy to do something that I really wanted to try out.

My mental energy surged forward, and it invaded and wrapped around both the lightning and the amalgamation of spirit stones.

My tribulation lightning furiously lashed out all over and I could feel a slight tingling pain in response but I urged my mental energy onward all the same.

Boom! Boom!

The lightning ferociously coruscated as if it refused to submit, but my mental energy slowly managed to get it under control.

This was something new for me as I had never used my mental energy to control my tribulation lightning before, but it was coming along quite nicely all things considered.

Before long, a sphere of tribulation lightning covered the amalgamation. I carefully adjusted the intensity of the tribulation lightning covering it. There were layers of mental tribulation lightning forced into an alternating rhythm.

It took a while, but after I was done, I stood back and surveyed my work. It was a sphere of lightning that floated ominously in the air. Powerful lightning energy comprised it, engendering a great sense of danger in everyone present.

The sphere of lightning wasn’t so thick that you couldn’t see through it, but at the same time, it wasn’t so thin that you could see exactly what was inside either.

It painted the contents within in an air of mystery. What was obvious, however, was that whatever was inside teemed with spiritual energy.

If you’re wondering how I came to make something like this, the formation scrolls I got from Yang Fuyou are to thank for this. Even though what I created looks profound, this was the result of some of the basic uses of mental energy.

The only reason why what I did seemed high-level was because of the type of material and energy I used being way outside of the norm. But it was simply material and energy manipulation.

Yaomu Shou and the others came up to take a look at my creation.

Yaomu Shou cocked her to the side in curiosity at it. “What is this?”

“No time to explain, bend over.”

“Come again?”

An intense shade of purple coloured her face all the way to her ears. Maybe I should have worded that differently.

“Bend over.” As you can see, I still didn’t word it differently.

“You brute!” Yaomu Baiyin’s face succumbed to the same blush as Yaomu Shou's.

Lu Pei silently nodded to himself. I don’t even wanna know what he’s thinking.

“Why are you having Lady Yaomu Shou do something so sha—Lady Yaomu Shou!?” Yaomu Baiyin blurted out when she saw Yaomu Shou bending over with a resigned expression.

“I’ve just come to accept my fate,” Yaomu Shou said, with all the vigour of someone who’s had the fight taken clean out of them.

To be fair, this is a questionable situation, but I can’t be bothered to look at the ethics of this.

With that in mind, I simply took her up in my arm like I did not long ago.

It must look weird for an eleven-year-old to be carrying a sixteen-year-old girl in his arm like a sack of chicken feed.

I then looked over my shoulder at Yaomu Baiyin and Lu Pei, who shuddered under my gaze. Did they think they were gonna get this treatment?

Pfft, only true friends can get this treatment.

Now you may all be wondering why I was doing all this. You probably already know.

“You can choose to follow, or you can choose to stay. Either way, this place is gonna get busy real fast and whoever gets here won’t be too happy.”

Confusion appeared on their faces when I said this, but they still followed behind me.

I picked up a few stones and flung them at the whirlpool in the distance one after the other. The first couple of ones missed the mark entirely, but the other ones went in cleanly.

“So here’s what we’re gonna do.” I took a few minutes to explain what I planned to do.

“We’re going in there?” exclaimed Yaomu Shou after hearing what I said.

“Something tells me that what we’re looking for is in there.”

“Then how do we get there?” questioned Lu Pei. “Do we simply swim to it?”

Yaomu Baiyin walked up to the edge of the lake and put her hand in the water. Though the part that she touched appeared still and peaceful, a terrible force in the water tore at her, forcing her to pull her hand back quickly.

As a demon, she had a naturally powerful body, but even then, the force in the water at the outer edges caused her hand to twinge under its assault.

“I don’t think so. The force is so strong at the outer rim. It’s hard to imagine what it’s like at the centre. It’ll tear us apart before we get close.”

“You’re right,” I told her. “The only way to enter is to dive directly into the eye of the whirlpool.”

Lu Pei wondered, “Then how do we get—”

Bam!

“Aaaah!”

Yaomu Baiyin was shocked at my actions when she saw me kick Lu Pei in the ass, which in turn sent him flying. She turned to me, wanting to know what I was doing before the sight of my legs filled her view.

Bam!

Far off into the distance, two dots fell smack dab in the centre of a huge massive whirlpool.

Yaomu Shou was calm throughout the entire ordeal, and I had to give her props for that. I wondered why Mina couldn’t be the same.

She suddenly looked at me and stated. “The stones you flung before, they were to test the general angle and power you’d need to get something right in the eye of the whirlpool, weren’t they?”

“Yep.”

“You’re going to throw me in there?”

“Friends get better treatment. I’ll keep you right here.”

“Bring it on.”

“Say less.”

Shu!

I shot off with Yaomu Shou at breakneck speed. I then jumped as hard as I could and my leap carried me far above the warped space the whirlpool caused.

My perfectly powered and timed leap set both me and Yaomu Shou on a trajectory for the eye of the whirlpool. The minute we fell through, our vision was filled with a bright white light.

This means that I, in good faith, cannot sing Hello Darkness My Old Friend.
