Bab 252: Shitty luck

When Rio opened his eyes again, he saw the clear sky up in the clouds. He was in mid air, his body falling down with the effects of slightly heightened gravity. He looked down to see the beautiful blue sea surface below.

As his body came closer to the sea, he noticed subtle changes in the water. The calm surface was disturbed, as ripples started to form uncontrollably there.

Soon the subtle ripples turned into a whirlpool, a vortex that seemed to pull him downward faster, threatening to swallow him whole, once he fell down.

He used his aura to stabilize his body, as he noticed a shining eye at the center of the whirlpool. His instincts kicked in when he was close to touching the water surface. As some droplets landed on his face, he propelled himself away from the whirlpool using his mana.

-splash-

His body fell into the water with a loud splash and slipped away from the whirlpool and the giant eye instantly.
