Bony Boy goes to JJK World
-Lots of spoilers on JJK read at your own risk.-
Team Yuta
"I'm telling you there's no point in staying here. " Yuta told Gakuganji.
"The enemy has to pass through here. It's the perfect place for an ambush. " Gakuganji insisted. While his reasoning was good, the original plan required that they moved on to the second layer.
Yuta shook his head before saying, "Gojo most likely already passed through here and he expects us to be on layer two. Besides... " Yuta pointed to Ieri before continuing, "Everyone knows that Ieri will be on layer two, that's where they'll look for her. "
Gakuganji stroked his beard while saying, "She can go. All I'm saying is that Kamo, Todo, and I will stay behind and exorcise the curses."
"That's why I'm saying... forget about it. Do what you think is best. " Yuta said as he facepalmed. He and his team turned around and started walking away.
"Maki, you stay here too. " Kamo said as she walked away. Maki stopped for a second and turned around.
"I'm sticking with Gojo's plans on this one. We've had maps for the first and second layers for a good time now so there's no guarantee that anyone is still in the first layer. All you'll be doing is stop those who start late or are replacing a player and Gojo will probably finish this before they can get to the second layer anyways. Best to try to help out ahead than to hold the competition back." Maki explained before she turned back to the door and walked in.
Everyone from Team Yuta disappeared leaving Team Kamo behind. "She might have a point, old man. " Todo said as he pulled out his cursed tool from the seal.
Todo quickly spun the three section staff, Playful Cloud, around his body before saying, "Your plan is only good if the only threats inside this Domain are from the other players, given that we haven't met any powerful curses yet that's not wrong to assume, but-"
"You think that the deeper layers will have curses more powerful than the players? " Kamo said as massaged the bridge of his nose.
"Think about the curses Ainz has used before. Even the weakest was at least second grade. The ones in here are third-grade fodder meaning that as we delve deeper in the Domain, we could reach a point where the first grade will become fodder." Todo explained to Gakuganji who remained in silence.
Gakuganji went through the information that he had collected in preparation for the game. He clearly remembered the cemetery incident and also the High School incident, but his line of thought was too rigid.
'Ainz has used many special-grade curses before, but that was before he had to focus on maintaining a Domain. He should be too focused on keeping his so-called guardians functioning to have that many powerful curses on his side. ' Gakuganji thought while trying to picture the worst scenario.
"Hmmmmm..." Gakuganji took a deep breath as he thought about that possibility.
"Old man?! We need a decision here. Do you really want us to stay here or-"
"Kamo, how much time has passed since the game started? " Gakuganji asked interrupting Todo.
"Around 15 minutes or so. " Kamo replied.
Gakuganji turned to Todo before asking, "Todo, what's the time limit? "
"24 hours... " Todo said with an impatient voice. "We might have a lot of time, but that does not mean we can waste it here. "
Gakuganji shook his head before explaining, "Why would the cursed spirit give us so much time? Hmmm... he's doing it so we can rest, so we can strategize and so that someone outside of the Domain can waltz in and have a fair chance of winning. This is not a race it's a marathon. Remember that you too." Gakuganji said as he turned his back to the door leading to the second layer.
"I'll stay here and be a problem for anyone that remains here and if things go bad I'll run to the second layer with information. You two can go ahead if you want. " Gakuganji said before walking back to the corridor.
"Do what you want old man. Let's go Kamo." Todo said.
"Alright. Good luck, principal Gakuganji." Kamo said as he turned his back to his team captain.
Utahime's pov
After Utahime and Kirara were teleported to the second layer, they immediately started looking for the guardian room. The path was simple to follow using the map, but since they didn't have one, Utahime and Kirara had to rely on their instincts to find the room. That led straight into the strongest undead they had found yet.
Utahime was now face to face with a Death Warrior who was blocking the path to the guardian. She first tried to walk back and circle around it by using a different route, but the undead quickly ran after them leaving Utahime no choice but to stay and fight.
"Run Kirara! Take Inumaki to the guardian's room! " Utahime screamed right after she dodged a sword slash. Her opponent was a Death Warrior she stumbled on and thanks to her experience fighting cursed spirits, she knew that the undead was stronger than her.
Kirara quickly nodded before leaving through a random corridor. Utahime started buying time for the students to get away before she tried to run too.
The undead quickly swang his sword cutting the two walls that formed the hallway. Utahime was able to duck under the attack and with forward momentum she kicked the undead to the face which forced it a few steps back.
'I have to keep it here until Kirara gets away.' Utahime thought as she prepared for the fight.
After dodging many attacks and running around the maze, Utahime's breath became shallow and sweat started falling down from her forehead as the battle went on for a few minutes. She took a few glances behind her to make sure that Kirara was gone, but every time Utahime showed her intentions to escape the Death Warrior quickly forced her hand.
'Why is this Cursed Spirit so strong?! ' Utahime asked herself. Her breathing started to become stable as she got used to fighting the undead, but when she noticed that the Death Warrior showed no sign of exhaustion Utahime understood that she fucked up. 'It's not tired at all... I can't stall the fight or I'll just tire myself. That means... Did I have to beat it right away?! '
Utahime had no experience fighting the undead which lead her to commit one of the gravest mistakes one can make while fighting their kind. She tried to stall the fight.
Since the undead doesn't get tired, the optimal play would be to exorcise the Death Warrior right away or run as fast as she could. Utahime thought that stalling until the undead used most of its cursed energy was a viable strategy seeing that the Death Warrior loved wide and powerful swings that were very expensive to perform.
That would have worked outside of Ainz Domain, but since the undead was linked with boundless amounts of cursed energy the Death Warrior would never run out.
Utahime heard a few steps behind her which forced her to turn around. "Impossible. " Utahime said when she saw another Death Warrior walking toward her.
Ainz's pov
Ainz watched as Utahime started to struggle when the second undead joined the fight. "Now that most of them entered the second layer, there is no need to keep undead spawning the first layer. Part A of the plan is done. " Ainz said as his eyes flashed.
He was able to sandbag all the players into believing that the curses were mostly fodder and now they were all running to the third layer without a care in the world thinking that the first few layers were pretty much done. 'They'll use the map to Shalltear not knowing that I'll have first-grade level undead running standing in the way. That should get rid of the weak ones. ' Ainz thought as he watched Utahime getting her ass handed to her.
One of the Death Warriors was able to inflict a good cut along her torso before she was able to defeat it with a well-placed counter. She turned around to face the other one while trying to figure out a way to escape.
"The average jujutsu sorcerer in this Domain is at least level 40 which means that the second layer will be a great hurdle for them. " Ainz said as he moved his hand and swapped to one of the few exceptions.
"I'm intrigued as to how you're going to fight my guardian... Gojo. " Ainz's eyes flashed as he said Gojo's name. The live feed of the fight came up and he started watching the fight.
Gojo's pov
"Arggg! " Shalltear screamed as she rushed toward Gojo. The jujutsu sorcerer chuckled after seeing how simple her approach was, but cocky as he was, even Gojo could not take her lightly.
'This crazy woman... she has more cursed energy than me. And those Cursed Tools are extremely powerful, especially that lance. ' Gojo thought as he focused on his infinity barrier which Shalltear promptly smacked her lance into.
"What?! I can't..." Shalltear quickly flew backward, but Gojo was one step ahead. He quickly jumped afterward which gave Shalltear a good scare as she narrowly blocked his kick with her right hand.
'This physical strength... he has to be a close-range fighter like the other guy, but what's with this invisible barrier? ' Shalltear thought as she moved her arm around Gojo's leg, but when she tried to crush it she noticed that something kept her from actually touching the jujutsu sorcerer.
'Nice reactions. She's more used to fistfights than Ainz was. ' Gojo concluded after he saw Shalltear trying to crush his leg.
Gojo used his cursed technique to perform a double jump and went for another kick. He faked a second roundhouse which Shalltear quickly dodged by simply flying lower, Gojo countered by going for an axe kick.
'A faint? Pathetic. ' Shalltear thought as she simply moved the lance to counter the strike. The tip of her weapon stopped right before touching Gojo, but the jujutsu sorcerer's leg continued moving down forcing Shalltear's lance back.
'He's using the barrier to push through my guard. ' Shalltear thought as she turned the lance sideways and completely blocked the kick.
'Our strength is on par... no she's got the upper hand when it comes to physical power. As expected from one of Ainzs's guardians. I'll need to work hard here. ' Gojo thought.
Shalltear tried to push Gojo's leg up, but no matter how much power she used the lance didn't move at all. 'This is not a simple barrier... physical nullification?! '
Shalltear let go of the lance and moved to the side allowing Gojo's leg to continue in a straight line. She flew right to Gojo's face before pushing an open palm strike aiming at the barrier.
The moment her hand touched the barrier a spell circle appeared.
[Force Explosion]
'She's using her cursed technique? ' Gojo thought as a powerful cursed energy wave hit the barrier. The spell stopped right before touching Gojo.
'Spells don't work either! ' Shalltear thought. She was perplexed to find someone with a skill that could nullify both physical and magical damage. Force Explosion was meant to test the effectiveness of her magic.
If Gojo didn't show that he could defend against it, like Hakari, she would simply fight from a distance and span her strongest spells to finish the fight as fast as possible, but now that even magic was proven to be useless, her options had become narrowed.
Gojo gave a huge creepy smile when he noticed that Shalltear froze up for a moment and immediately teleported behind her, but since Ainz had set up countermeasures for teleporting Gojo ended up on the other side of the room. "Oh yeah. I forgot that Ainz said teleporting would be randomized. Ops. " Gojo said as he shook his head.
Shalltear slowly turned to him while scratching her face. "You're lucky ended up in this room at all, human, but then again, you're fighting me so you can't be that lucky. " She said with a sarcastic tone while looking downward at Gojo.
"Are you trying to intimidate me or something? Cause it's not working. " Gojo said as he started walking toward Shallear.
Shalltear took a deep breath. 'Hmmmm... That mystery skill really took me by surprise. It calmed me right away. ' Shalltear thought as she looked at Gojo.
[Mana Essence]
Shalltear's eyes lit up and the cursed energy inside Gojo's body became opaque allowing her to get a rough estimate of his power. 'He's got an above-average amount of mana and his physical power is a little weaker than mine. As long as I can go around his null attack barrier he's not gonna be too much trouble.' Shalltear thought as she started to speculate on Gojo's barrier.
Gojo's Six Eyes caught the moment that Shalltear used her spell. 'Multiple cursed techniques? Or is she just trying to enhance her vision? ' Gojo debated while he walked toward his opponent.
'Set time duration or a set number of attacks? He could also be repairing the barrier too... which is it? ' Shalltear thought as she pointed her hand toward Gojo.
[Dragon Lighting]
A burst of electricity went after Gojo, but the jujutsu sorcerer didn't bother to dodge and just continued walking. The spell hit his barrier, and the lighting went around him while trying to pierce touch him, but ultimately failed and disappeared after a while.
Gojo smiled once more as he finally started running toward Shalltear who immediately flew backward. 'He's coming after me now. Set time or set number of attacks? Which is it? ' Shalltear thought as she pointed her hand toward Gojo once more.
[Resistance Break]
The debuff spell was successful and Gojo's magical resistance dropped. 'That was not an attack... interesting. ' Gojo thought as he felt something change within him.
Gojo jumped after Shalltear, but before he could get to her she said, "So you're not gonna use any long-range attacks? " Shalltear asked as she quickly soared downward leaving Gojo alone in the air.
'Is she baiting me? She's too faster than me in the air, but she's still close enough for me to use Blue or Red... ' Gojo thought as he used his cursed technique to hop around in mid-air while chasing Shalltear. Gojo shook his head and placed both of his hands together. 'She's testing me while carefully watching my moves. It's going to be hard to get an opening.'
'That's a new move... ' Shalltear thought. Thanks to Mana Essence, she could see Gojo preparing an attack. She clearly saw as Gojo moved his hand creating a small distortion in space surrounding her hand.
Shalltear's arm became a twisted mess as soon as the attack landed. "Arggg... " Shalltear said as she tried to endure the pain.
'There it is. Long-range attacks. So he has them. ' Shalltear thought as she moved and tried to figure out her next move.
'Worked a little better than with Ainz, but still... that damage was nothing. I'll need purple to deal actual damage to her. Fuck! ' Gojo thought as Shalltear suddenly turned around and charged towards him.
[Brillian Radiance]
A pillar of light surrounded Gojo, but thanks to the barrier he was unharmed. The light, however, was able to hide Shalltear's figure for a few seconds, and when the spell finally disappeared she was gone.
Gojo quickly scanned the room and pretended not to see her charging from another direction with her lance pointing at him. "Where are you? " Gojo said as he prepared to counter the strike.
[Cursed Technique Reversal: Red]
[Cursed Technique Amplification: Blue]
Gojo immediately threw his cursed technique at Shalltear who was still moving in a straight line.
[Hollow Purple]
The attack created a huge void that consumed anything that touched it, but before the ball of cursed energy even left his hand Shalltear's speed spiked and within the blink of an eye Shalltear was right in by his side.
Gojo tried to redirect the attack, but the guardian barely moved to the side which allowed her to dodge it again. 'She knew?! ' Gojo thought as he quickly turned his head to face her.
[Magic Destruction]
Shalltear casted her spell and immediately drove her lance into Gojo's chest. The lance passed through the barrier and entered his body.
Gojo felt his cursed energy being pulled into the cursed tool which started glowing with a green light. Shalltear received the extra cursed energy and used it to heal her arm.
"You knew that I could see you?! Did Ainz tell you about me? " Gojo asked as he figured out what happened. He quickly reactivated his cursed technique and then pushed out the lance from his body.
[Magic Destruction]
Shalltea repeated the spell as soon as her lance was pushed away and went for another stab. 'She's too fast. 'Gojo thought as his best efforts were not enough to dodge the strike.
Gojo placed both of his arms to shield him which minimized the damage. Some of his cursed energy was sucked into the lance once more, but this time Shalltear was not healed.
"I didn't know you and I don't know anything about your eyes, but they had to be able to see me, right? I mean... look at your eyes... the amount of mana you have swirling around them. You're basically screaming they're special. " Shalltear said while chuckling. "Still... Perfect Unkowble plus a few buffs and you can't keep up anymore... I kinda disappointed."
"Buffs? Mana? Wait, you can see it moving inside my body? " Gojo asked. Seeing cursed energy moving around the body was something that pretty much any jujutsu sorcerer could do and assuming his eyes were special was also not an impressive feat, but to see it inside the body with enough accuracy to distinguish its focus... that is something special.
'This is bad. I can't figure out what her cursed technique is, but she seems to have something similar to the Six Eyes... Wait! Can she use the same techniques as Ainz can? ' Gojo asked himself while trying to hold back his cursed energy. He needed to buy a few more minutes to understand the full picture before the fight continued.
"Yeah. Mana Exensse is a really good support spell, but there's no point in talking anymore since you're about to-" Shalltear immediately pulled back her lance and flew backward as fast as she could.
[Time Accelerator]
Gojo thought he had an opening when Shalltear started explaining her powers, but the moment he tried to focus enough cursed energy to open his Domain, she immediately flew away.
Shalltear spun around in the air before stopping completely. "Is that Domain Expansion? You can use it too? " Shalltear asked while tilting her head.
Gojo's eyes widened. 'She recognized it and immediately moved outside of my range... ' Gojo thought as he fell to the ground.
"Have you seen it before? It's really cool. " Gojo said followed by nervous laughter.
"I had the displeasure of being hit by the insect known as Hakari. You might know who that is. " Shalltear said before cracking her neck. "As soon as he used that skill the fight became all about him and I had to fight around his rules. That's not happening again."
"If you don't close enough to me you won't harm me at all. " Gojo said while pointing to his own barrier, but Shalltear quickly scoffed at his comment.
"No need. Magic Destruction deactivates it and that's good enough. Now that I know how to deal with that barrier I could easily kill you by attacking from long range, but that would take too long... " Shalltear said before placing her hand on her chin.
"You're strong enough. Yes, I admit it. " Shalltear said as her body began to glow.
[Einherjar]
An avatar of Shalltear emerged from her body. It was a very similar copy of herself, who held the same equipment as her and also had the same stats. The only downside was the lack of magic abilities.
Gojo took a deep breath before he started chuckling. He placed both of his hands on his hair and ran his fingers around his head. "This is getting interesting. "
His reaction caused Shalltear to tilt her head before saying, "Huh, interesting? Is it interesting to see how you're gonna die? Alright, I'll tell you. Your barrier is about to amount to nothing as me and I-"
"Barrier?! " Gojo screamed interrupting Shalltear. "I know that thing is not gonna cut here anymore... so I'm dropping it. " Gojo said right before his cursed energy spiked.
'He still has that much power in him? ' Shalltear asked herself as she saw Gojo's face become increasingly more terrifying.
"I'm Gojo, Satoru Gojo. "
Shalltear lifted one of her eyebrows before saying, "I see I'm supposed to say my name now... Well... I don't see a reason to tell my name for a magot like you." Shalltear snapped her fingers making Einherjar charge Gojo.
"Ha ha ha. Bitch! " Gojo screamed as he jumped forward.
