Bony Boy goes to JJK World
Hey there, Author here. So I felt kind of bad about uploading a short chapter, even though it was either that or losing the consistency and that was eating at me a bit. In response, I locked myself in front of the computer for as much as I could on Sunday and Monday to write as much as I can as an apology.
So now we have a triple update. Hope you enjoy it. Bye bye.
-Lots of spoilers on JJK read at your own risk.-
Team Uro
Ishigori was the first one to enter the room, since he had unknowingly skipped the first boss fight he had no way of knowing how far behind everyone else was, but thanks to Ainz's mission he knew that his team was the one ahead and he was not about to give anyone else a chance to catch up.
"Is this the room? " Uro asked as she floated to the center.
The room was wide with a very similar carpet on the floor and the same layout as the one in the first layer with the only exception being the engravings on the door which were that of Shalltear wearing her armor.
Ishigori placed his hand on his chin and said, "It must be... this one is too different from the others. This means... that's the door to the second layer. " Ishigori said as he looked at the special page he had just received from clearing the mission.
Not that he had a choice in the matter, his team was lost wandering in the second layer killing mobs while searching for the door until he suddenly heard a noise coming from his invitation.
That was when he confirmed that his team had skipped the first door and thanks to the map he was quickly able to find the next door.
Uro floated to the door and tried to open it, but when she touched it she felt a powerful wave of energy rushing from the door. 'It's sealed. ' Uro thought as she immediately tried to open it again by using her cursed technique to bend it out of the way.
While Uro took care of the way out, Ishigori wanted to deal with the competition. "Drhuv put your shikigami on the door. Don't let anyone else in. " Ishigori said while looking at the old man.
Drhuv's eyes slowly focused on Ishigori. "hmmm..." The old man said as he turned to the way they came from. He sat down and crossed his legs in the full lotus position and called upon his shikigami.
The huge whale appeared and blocked the entrance with its mouth. It stayed down waiting for anyone to get close enough for it to eat them. "Alright, it's time for me to deal with the guardian. " Ishigori said as he walked to the center of the room.
The ancient jujutsu sorcerer cracked his neck and then fixed his hair as he prepared for the guardian to show up. "Come out, come out. " Ishigori said as he looked around himself, just in case the guardian tried to sneak up on either one of his teammates.
Several minutes passed, but the guardian was nowhere to be seen. 'Why is it not here? Maybe... ' Ishigori widened his eyes as a realization hit him.
"I can't believe this..." Ishigori said while. He got up and walked to Uro who was still trying to force her way through the door. Ishigori grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"What are you- " Uro was interrupted by Ishigori who immediate fire his Granite Blast at the door causing a big explosion in the room. Chunks of the ground were leveled and a dust cloud was formed.
"What- are- you doi-ng?! " Uro asked while trying to not inhale the dust that covered the room. Ishigori, however, didn't respond as he had something that he wanted to check.
"Dhruv, sweep the room. " Ishigori said after he confirmed that the door was completely intact. Not a single scratch or even a small smudge on it.
Ishigori shook his head before he pulled his shirt over his nose. "We're wasting time here. " Ishigori said right before Uro punched him in the face.
Uro immediately followed it up with a kick on Ishigori's back as he flew straight at the wall. Ishigori quickly turned around in mid-air and planted his feet in the wall which caused a small dent on it. He then pulled his feet out of the stones right in time to block another kick from Uro.
"The fuck are you doing? " Ishigori asked as he grabbed her leg and threw her backward.
"You tell me you piece of shit. What was that about?! " Uro asked as she covered herself in cursed energy.
Ishigori shook his head and facepalmed. "We can't use the door without defeating the guardian, but the guardian is not here. That means we have to find it first you idiot! " Ishigori screamed at her while trying not to blast her with a Granite Blast. "You got that you?! "
"And why have you not used your shikigami to suck the dust from the room yet, D- " Ishigori held his tongue when he saw Dhruv covered in a dense layer of cursed energy.
Up until this point, Dhruv had barely interacted or even shown any interest in anything. It was completely out of place for him to display so much effort to perform a simple task like standing guard. 'There is someone outside. ' Ishigori concluded as he prepared to fight.
Uro was a bit late to recognize it, but once she finally did she also prepared her cursed technique to defend herself from a possible attack. "Dhruv, are- " Before Uro could even ask about who he was fighting, the whale went forward leaving the door unprotected.
With a powerful roar, it moved toward its target destroying everything along the way. The whale opened its mouth to bite the enemy, but before it even touched the target the shikigami screamed in pain.
A huge bulge started forming on the whale's back. It popped allowing a bunch of blood and flesh to fall on the ground, but that was not a concern to anyone at that moment.
The real problem was what came out of the whale causing it to pop. The object continued flying until it lodged itself on the ceiling. "Is that a spear?! "Both Ishigori and Uro said right before something else flew outside the whale.
This time the object was slower and they were able to get a clear view of it. It was a woman with two sets of wings on her back and beautiful silver hair.
'Is that the guardian? 'Ishigori's first thoughts immediately aligned themselves with his current goals. Since he did not see anyone that looked like that before he entered and no other curse inside the Domain carried anywhere near that kind of power. This was the only conclusion he came to.
The woman in armor screamed as soon as she saw the team in the room. 'These are the insects! ' Shalltear thought as she flew upward and grabbed the lance out of the ceiling.
'This is bad. ' Uro thought as she saw Shalltear immediately go after Dhruv who was still sitting down.
After the defeat of a shikigami, the shikigami user is usually left defensively and is considered easy to pray by pretty much anyone who knows a thing about jujutsu. Since Shalltear turned to the old man right away, Uro had assumed that she the enemy knew about that and acted accordingly.
Shalltear roared as she tensed her wings and pointed the lance forward. She dove toward Dhruv who was still in shock from how easily his shikigami was defeated.
[Granite Blast]
Ishigori screamed as he used his attack to interrupt Shalltear. The amount of cursed energy and bloodlust coming from Shalltear caused Ishigori to release his technique prematurely and the attack had less than half of its potency,
'At least I can delay her a bit. ' Ishigori thought. His idea was to either interrupt the charge completely or buy enough time for Dhruv to react since she would need to dodge the blast.
[Magic Destruction]
Shalltear said as he pointed her free hand to the energy blast which immediately dissipated in the air. "My Granite Blast... but how?! " Ishigori said while his voice cracked. Unlike what he had predicted, Shalltear didn't even need to dodge at all and she continued to fly in a straight line.
"Arggg! " Uro screamed as she barely was able to get in range. She immediately used her sky-bending technique to bend the space that was left in between Shalltear and Dhruv which caused Shalltear to miss her attack.
As soon as Shalltear passed Dhruv she turned and stared right into Uro's eyes. "Was it you? " Shalltear said with a cold and heavy voice.
Shalltear turned to Ishigori who was charging another attack and before the jujutsu sorcerer could do anything she threw her lance at him.
"Shit! " Ishigor screamed as he scrambled to dodge the strike. Uro took her eyes off Shalltear for a single moment to check on Dhruv before she heard the lance hitting the wall.
Uro resisted the urge to look at the source of the noise. She knew that attack was just to keep Ishigori busy and that the real attack was about to come.
Shalltear quickly glances at Uro before raising her hand to her.
[Widen Magic: Fire Storm ]
'It's a fire technique! ' Uro thought as she initially focused on protecting herself. Since Shalltear had not used anything other than the lance and her raw intimidation to attack them, Uro had to wait for the follow-up attack and react to it.
The moment flames formed around her she knew that Shalltear's power was way beyond what she could block with just cursed energy manipulation. If she did not use her own technique to redirect the flames away from her body, there was a chance that she could die from that attack alone.
Uro spun around trying to create a whirlwind with her in the center which caused the certain fire damage to be reduced considerably, but that left her unable to do anything but defend herself.
Shalltear took advantage of that to fly over to Dhruv where she stuck her hand through the old man's head. Even though he was moments away from dying, Dhruv's body refused to die without trying anything and he harnessed all of his remaining cursed energy on his fist.
The punch came as a surprise for Shalltear who had already dismissed the threat, but since Dhruv was pretty much dead, the speed of the punch was a joke compared to the ones she just fought.
With no hesitation, she ripped her hand out of Dhruv's skull causing his body to come crashing down to the flood below. Shalltear didn't take any chances as she flew around the second Granite Blast that Ishigori released moments before Dhruv got pierced.
'She can erase my technique and use fire with that amount of power? Is that how strong a guardian is?! ' Ishigori thought as he saw Shalltear switch targets to him.
Ishigori quickly placed both of his hands together and opened his mouth as wide as he could. He instinctually understood that even if his Granite Blast had hit Shalltear, the amount of damage she would take would be minimal compared to what he needed to beat her and the only thing he could think of was...
[Domain-]
The moment the word Domain entered Shalltear's ears she immediately contorted her body and flew straight into the ground. She jammed her hands into the floor ripping good chunks of it before pulling herself to the side.
[Ex...]
'She... went out of range. Right before I could even... ' The realization befell Ishigori who immediately went to help out Uro.
Shalltear hopped off the ground and into the wall where she picked up her weapon back. By the time she took flight once more, Uro had already cleared the fire that surrounded her and Ishigori was a quarter of the way done charging his next attack.
"She knows about Domains and just escaped mine. " Ishigori didn't know it yet, but that was the last thing he would say to Uro.
Uro used the back of her hand to clean the sweat coming from her forehead. The amount of damage she took had burned off the outer layer of skin and left Uro with a nice tan. Her eyeballs and nose felt like they were burning and even the sweat was hot.
'In the time it took for me to endure her technique she...' Uro thought as she looked at Dhruv whose body was missing the upper half of his head. She swallowed in fear as she looked at Shalltear.
The glowing red eyes, the pressure from the cursed energy, and the unbroken eye contact that the guardian kept with her, caused Uro's heart rate to spike. Shalltear slowly blinked and then pointed the tip of her lance to Ishigori.
Thanks to the amount of focus and adrenaline, that action took ages to happen from his point of view. Nonetheless, the moment the lance stopped he gulped in fear.
"Domain... domain... that was the same move I got hit a while ago. " Shalltear said with an aggressive tone. She became more flustered as she continued saying. "After I got hit with ii the fight dragged on and on... that's not gonna happen again. " She finished with a huge scream.
Shalltear then opened all of her wings as she prepared to annihilate them. She spun the lance around her arm as she said, "Because of you I had to accept defeat and come here. Because of you... insects! " Shalltear grabbed the lance and charged Uro.
Uro quickly moved away from Ishigori. The more spread out they were the more likely one of them could survive, but Shalltear had no intention of letting either of them go.
Shalltear quickly glanced at Uro before throwing her lance at her. The jujutsu sorcerer was not as fast as Ishigori and even if she was, Shalltear ensured to throw it better this time, this forced Uro to stop and use her technique to defend herself.
Ishigori opened his arm and pretended to throw using his Granite Blast. He calculated that Shaltear was going to dodge it so he wanted to wait until she tried to get closer to him.
[Brilliant Radience]
But instead of doing any of that, Shalltear just stood still pointing her hand until a pillar of light engulfed Ishigori. He quickly released the cursed energy he had charged for his attack to defend himself from the light which burned his body.
Uro, on the other hand, was easily able to redirect the lance. She quickly glanced over to where Shalltear was only to find that the guardian had disappeared. 'Where is she?! ' Uro turned around and was able to catch a glimpse of the red armor.
Shalltear somehow got behind Uro and was only moments away from stabbing her with her lance. Uro then released her technique and was barely able to make her opponent miss the attack. 'How did she get her weapon back? How did she get here? That was too-'
Uro stopped talking right when she felt something stabbing her skull and then her... nothing. The Shalltear that was in front of her turned into cursed energy and evaporated right after the real Shalltear scooped the brains out of the skull.
"As I thought, you need a lot of focus to use that weird skill. A simple 6th-tier illusion spell and an invisibility spell plus the stress of actual combat. That's all I need to deal with you. That's how weak you maggots are. " Shalltear said as Uro's body dropped right in front of her.
The beam of light finally vanished leaving Ishigori in a bad shape. His clothing was burned, his skin burned, his hair was pretty much gone, and the rest of his confidence with it.
Ishigori fell to his knees as steam started rising from his body. His breath was shallow and his throat dries, but even under that circumstance, he still found the strength to smile and laugh.
Shalltear's jaw dropped a bit as Ishigori started chuckling. She rolled her eyes as she started walking to her lance.
"My hunger is satisfied. This is it. Yes. " Ishigori screamed in a half-delusional half fulfilled state. Shalltear grabbed the lance and took to the skies, She flew up a bit before charging Ishigori.
'She can't erase cursed techniques or else Uro's would not have worked. That means I just need to up the output...' Ishigori thought as he took a deep breath.
Ishigori's expression relaxed and his breathing stabilized, he looked right into Shalltear's eyes before saying, "Let's blast each other with all we have. " He then unleashed his final Granite Blast.
Unknown to Shalltear, Ishigori stopped protecting himself from the spell after a few moments inside the pillar. He already knew that Uro could not survive on her own and even if he got out with minimal damage, death was just a few bad decisions away.
So he abandoned that idea and just decided to focus all he had on a final Granite Blast. He waited and waited patiently while the light burned his flesh and after he deemed Shalltear was successfully baited he unleashed it.
[Mist Form]
"I have no idea..." Shalltear said before she simply turned into her astral form and passed through the attack. Ishigori's eyes widen a bit before he showed a disappointed face.
"...what you're talking about. Insect. " Shalltear said right before the lance pierced Ishigori's head killing him instantly.
The guardian then did a triumphant flight over the room while carrying the body on her lance before throwing it into a corner.
Shalltear took a few deep breaths and landed on the ground. The humiliation they caused her by forcing her to retreat to the second layer was still burning her from the inside out. Shalltear turned to the bodies while gritting her teeth. "Damn it! "
She charged Dhruv's body. Shalltear picked it up and then took it to where the other two were. With a high-pitched voice and veins about to burst on her forehead, she released a Vermillion Nova on them, turning the bodies into a cinder in a few moments.
"It's not enough... this humiliation... it's not enough! " Shalltear was about to throw another spell at the body when she heard a few steps coming from the corridor.
She immediately turned to the door where she saw a man with White hair walking in. "You! The one who stopped me back then. " Shalltear said with a small and confused voice as the man smiled at her.
"It's me Gojo. " Gojo said as he winked at Shalltear.
"Arggggggggggg! " Shalltear immediately charged him.
