"To prevent similar incidents from happening again, and to save my time... the task of looking after the Star-Devouring Whale will be yours from now on."
At this point, Skirk crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her red eyes.
"The power isn't on the same level, interaction is poor, it's hyperactive and gluttonous, and I have to sacrifice my time to look after it. Only its ornamental value is decent..."
Skirk complained, seemingly finding Surtalogi's taste in pets incomprehensible.
After saying this, Skirk raised her head, looked at Yuto, and then spread her hands, continuing:
"So, this time-consuming, labor-intensive, and troublesome job is now yours."
"However... you don't need to worry too much. After this period of consumption, the Star-Devouring Whale won't show any signs of breaking the seal in a short time."
"Of course, if it does, just beat it back. It'll also improve your combat skills."
With that, Skirk tore open a spatial rift behind her, casually grabbed Tartaglia by the collar, and then directly threw the unconscious Tartaglia into it.
After doing this, Skirk opened her right hand, and a slowly rotating black light mass appeared in her palm.
After seemingly checking that the light mass was fine, Skirk casually threw it out, and the light mass, as if conscious, directly hit Yuto.
Almost the instant the light mass touched Yuto, some memories that originally didn't belong to him appeared out of thin air in his consciousness.
"This is how I use the power of the Abyss. Learn as much as you can. Consider it my compensation to you."
With that, Skirk turned without hesitation and walked towards the spatial rift.
Just as she was about to step into the spatial rift... she suddenly stopped, tilted her head slightly, and said:
"Also, I think it's necessary to remind you of two things as soon as possible."
"First, when the Star-Devouring Whale fought you just now, it almost used up all its power."
"This level of water element power... the deep sea of the planet will find it difficult to digest."
"In other words, Fontaine on the surface should be in a mess right now."
"Second, the power sealed within your body is completely opposite to the power of the Abyss. The moment you choose to release it... you will probably suffer a bit."
"Consider carefully before unsealing whether you have the ability to withstand that pain. If not, then don't unseal it."
"Oh, right, the Star-Devouring Whale has the ability to aggregate water element. It should be helpful for your unsealing, but as for the specific situation... I'm not clear."
"Alright, that's all I have to say. If there's any information that needs to be conveyed later..."
Skirk said, pointing meaningfully at the spatial rift in front of her, then added:
"I'll have my disciple convey it."
With that, Skirk stepped into the spatial rift, leaving behind Yuto, who was still a bit headache-ridden from the recent memory infusion, and a somewhat dazed Neuvillette... staring blankly.
The reason Skirk left so quickly was that she didn't want the hot potato to be thrown back at Yuto.
After all, looking after a so-called "pet" like the Star-Devouring Whale, which was both gluttonous and hyperactive, had already wasted too much of her cultivation time.
She didn't want to waste any more time on this matter.
