Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 1820: Being pulled down

Chapter 1820: Being pulled down
In the end, it didn’t seem like they were happy with the decision that I came to.
I understood why, but I had to insist on this. After all, I was the only one that would be able to resist this corruption energy enough that we would be able to safely make it to the other side.
Other than me, there simply wasn’t anyone else that could do the same thing.
But I was also the only one that could really fight against those stronger members of the forces of Destruction. At the same time, my position in the racial alliance was already very clear.
That was why they didn’t want me taking any risks at all.
However, I knew that we had to do this since we really were desperate.
There was simply just too little that we knew about the forces of Destruction.
With how little information that we had on the forces of Destruction, it meant that we would always be on the defense against their moves. Unless we could figure out what the forces of Destruction were using to hide themselves, we really couldn’t do anything to them.
That was why there really wasn’t anything that they would be able to say to convince me otherwise.
The only thing that they could really do was decide who would be coming with me.
Since they wanted to be certain that nothing went wrong, it really seemed like they all wanted to come with me. But of course, that wasn’t possible since the people here were just as important as me in the racial alliance.
It was because I came that they came, but I couldn’t let anything happen to them.
The only person that I could risk was myself.
“This is the group that’s going, that’s final.”
In the end, I had no choice but to use my influence to make them listen to what I had to say.
As such, they had to agree to who I decided would be coming with me.
With this decided, the only thing left to do was…
“How are we going to do this?” They asked me while looking at the strange swirl that was in front of us.
From what we had seen earlier, the moment that we entered the strange swirl, the corruption energy would appear and pull us into an unknown place. But we had no idea if protecting ourselves from the corruption energy would still allow it to work.
So that was why they were wondering how we would do this.
I naturally had already thought of a plan after seeing the way that the strange swirl worked, so I just said to them, “Come over to my side and stay close to me. When I step in, you’ll have to step in with me.”
This wasn’t a large group, but it wasn’t a small group either.
The main thing that restricted the size of this group was the size of the strange swirl in the first place. It wasn’t that big of a portal array, so it wasn’t as if we could bring that many people along with us.
That was why we brought as many people as we could that would still fit in the portal array.
Or else there certainly would have been more people that would have forced their way along.
All of them nodded in agreement before standing around the portal array, waiting for a signal from me.
When I gave a nod, they all took a step forward and crowded into the portal array.
The moment that we made contact with the portal array, there was this corruption energy that appeared. This was the same corruption energy as before that seemed like it was going to grab us like it did with the rock.
But the moment that it came out, I created this thin layer of ice around us.
It was so thin that it didn’t even seem like it was there.
Though there was no mistaking this layer of ice as it was one that was formed with divine energy. So it would be strong enough to resist the powers of this corruption energy.
The moment that the corruption energy made contact with the layer of ice, there were signs of it being purified. But the corruption energy wasn’t completely purified by the power of the divine energy ice.
At the same time, the divine energy ice wasn’t completely corrupted by the corruption energy.
There was this delicate balance that came to be as the corruption energy dragged the ice around us down. With this ice around us being dragged down, we were being dragged down at the same time.
But it wasn’t as if we were being pushed into the ground.
Instead, it felt as if there was something that had opened up under us that the corruption energy was pulling us into. This was the spatial transport magic that this array was made for.
“Hold tight and don’t let go.” I said to everyone as we were being pulled down.
They just grabbed each other’s hands and made sure that they wouldn’t be separated once we came out on the other side.
Only when we did come out the other side, we found that we weren’t really that there was no force that ripped us apart. All of us came out in a friendship circle, but the place that we arrived in was very strange.
This was a space that didn’t seem to have light, but at the same time…we could clearly see everything that was around us.
It really seemed like this was nothing more than a world of darkness.
But the one thing that was abundant in this place was the corruption energy that was in the air.
There was no lack of corruption energy in this place, which was why I didn’t let down the ice barrier that I had created. Though I did make it bigger in the end so that we would have more space to move around in.
