Sukuna's pov
As the king of curses appeared in the 7th layer, the first thing that reached his eyes was the bright red/yellow light being emitted from the lava pool underneath his feet. Sukuna found himself suspended in mid-air and a second after he realized what type of place the layer was, he began to fall toward the lava.
"I like this place. Looks very warm and cozy. " Sukuna said as he touched the lava. His feet were covered with cursed energy, but unlike what you'd expect, as soon as the cursed energy touched the lava, it became hard and dry. That left only the heat damage, which Sukuna could easily repel with a basic shield of cursed energy.
"My love. Stay right there. " Yorozu said. she was teleported to the exact same spot where Sukuna was and thus was fated to fall into the lava. "I don't have enough cursed energy to create something big enough. "
"I would very much appreciate it if you stay right there, Sukuna. " Geto said as he found himself in a very similar situation to Yorozu.
Sukuna shook his head a few times as he started to lose the little respect he had for both of his teammates. "Disappointing. " Sukuna said before he placed his hand inside his pocket and removed a rolled-up piece of human flesh that he had torn off of his own arm while waiting. He then opened the piece revealing multiple drawings of half-eaten birds, a dead tree, and multiple letters that made no sense. The only noticeable fact was that the letters were displayed in a particular way creating a circle around the drawings.
[Crow]
The dead piece of flesh suddenly began to glow before it folded on itself and then, a huge bird formed around the flesh. It was a huge three-legged crow with one big eye in the center of its face. The feathers were blueish-black, but the legs were pure white. The creature screamed a lot as Sukuna's cursed energy molded its body.
'A makeshift shikigami talisman? When did he have enough time for that? ' Geto thought as the creature took flight. It then quickly grabbed both Yorozu and Geto before they could fall on top of Sukuna.
"You two really need to become stronger. It's embarrassing that I have to babysit you from the environment. " Sukuna said as he began to walk forward.
"It's not my fault. My cursed technique uses a lot of my cursed energy. I don't have enough left to use for protection like you. " Yorozu said as she puffed her cheeks.
"That's not what he's doing Yorozu. " Geto said as he tried to move away from Yorozu. Since they were both being carried by the same bird and the creature's claws were rather close together, Geto and Yorozu were touching each other, which Geto found to be extremely... unpleasant. "Sukuna is overriding the domain and changing the property of the lava to be just a regular floor. "
Yorozu's eyes widened as she quickly smacked the bird's legs. She dropped toward the lava while covering her own legs with cursed energy. "This domain can be overridden? Why didn't we do that before? " Yorozu asked as she was about to touch the lava. Her feet quickly sank deep into the lake which caused extreme pain.
"Argggg! " Yorozu said as she reached to the bird with her hands. The shikigami quickly flew toward her and pulled Yorozu up. "It... didn't go as planned. Geto! " Yorozu said as the molten rock dripped from her legs. It wasn't as bad as to show bone, but the burn was pretty close to it.
"Geto's not wrong, Yorozu. It's you who is pathetic. " Sukuna said before turning his head toward her. He then saw the state of her legs before he continued walking. "I'm not gonna heal that. "
"Like you could heal anyone else's injury. " Geto said while chuckling.
"I could, but I won't, and no. That's not gonna work. Do you think I'm a kid? " Sukuna said as he finally exited the lake. Geto turned to Yorozu and shugged making a stupid face toward her.
"Don't worry my love. I'll heal these injuries in no time. " Yorozu said as she began using the little amount of cursed energy to fix herself.
"You better or else I'm just gonna leave you here to die. " Sukuna said with a very serious tone. Now that he was on land, he no longer needed to keep his shikigami out, so he immediately ordered it to drop both of his teammates near the lake's shore as he jumped toward the sky.
The shikigami quickly grabbed Sukuna's hands in mid-air and now, Sukuna had a flying creature to take him directly to anywhere he wanted to go. "Another castle-looking thing in the distance? Ainz might be getting a little repetitive, although, just creating something this big with cursed energy is already a huge undertaking, even if he is following formulas. " Sukuna said to himself as he began analyzing the path he would take.
At first, he thought about just flying straight to the location, but once he saw that multiple winged curses flying about near the structure, Sukuna gave up on that idea. 'They look rather weak, but their numbers and the flying are going to get annoying very fast. Not to mention, carrying two dead weights with me is going to slow down this sad excuse of a shikigami. Wait a minute... I could just use them as bait. ' Sukuna thought as his face slowly became twisted with a huge smile.
"Look Geto, my beloved has the cutest smile. Do you think he's thinking about me? " Yorozu said after she was done crawling to a safer height away from the lava lake.
"I wouldn't count on that. " Geto said while he kept watching his surroundings.
Sukuna then flew downwards with his shikigami, which reverted back to its talisman form quickly after. "The guardian is in a castle or temple-looking thing northeast of here. Multiple curses are flying around so it's better to go on foot and- " Sukuna quickly turned his attention to a rock a few meters away from them.
He then kicked a rock toward the shadow of the rock. The rock gained enormous speed, as it was covered in Sukuna's cursed energy, and right before it hit the shadow, something tried to run away. It was a shadow demon.
Sukuna wasn't sure what type of cursed spirit it was, but it didn't matter. From a simple analysis of the cursed energy levels, he was sure that the creature would die in one hit. And just like he expected, as soon as the rock hit the Shadow demon, it pierced through it. The attack not only left a hole in its body, but the cursed energy from Sukuna, acting like a disruptor of sorts, forced the creature's own cursed energy to implode, killing the surveillant creature immediately after.
"We have a company already. The guardian must be close by so be wary. " Sukuna said as he started walking forward.
"I must be getting weaker. " Yorozu said as she finally healed enough of herself to walk around again. "To not notice a cursed spirit spying on us."
"Getting weaker? When were you strong in the first place." Sukuna said with a disgusted look in his eyes.
"Don't be like that, my love. You know you're not good at telling jokes. " Yorozu said the last part in a nonplayful voice. She tried to hide it, but that comment really got to her.
"Hm... anyways. I didn't see it either. Do you have any idea what that was? " Geto asked while trying to change the topic as the mood became heavier and heavier.
"I don't know, but back in the day. I saw some sorcerers from the Zennin clan trying to partially manist their shikigami. The result was something similar to that although that cursed spirit was a lot better at hiding than the others. It was probably a creation of the skeleton to spy on us. " Sukuna answered as best as he could.
"It's actually my creation, but Lord Ainz did have other ones on another layer. " A voice reverberated near Sukuna and his team. "The only reason you were able to find it is because my creations are weaker than what I expected, but I won't take your credit away. You must be congratulated. " The voice continued talking as the owner began clapping.
"You're using my lines. Cursed spirit. " Sukuna said as he looked up. There, he found a cursed spirit with bat wings, a platinum-looking tail, a red suit, and glasses. "Guardian, I presume. I must say though, your cursed energy level is dog shit compared to the other one. What are you even trying to accomplish by showing yourself like that? " Sukuna said as tilted his head to what he believed to be the guardian.
Demiurge stopped clapping right away. "It seems my praise went over your head. Well, what can you expect from a bunch of swine, you throw a few pearls and they immediately shit all over it. But don't be upset, that's your nature, after all. "Demiurge responded to Sukuna with a heavy remark as he tried to disrupt their morale.
"What a funny thing to-"
"What did you say to my future husband you piece of shit. " Yorozu screamed forcing Geto to shut up. "You're not even real and you dare talk with that-"
"Yorozu shut up. " Sukuna said as he lifted his leg toward her. He then kicked Yorozu to the side. "You were saying something about nature, right? Well, tell me what nature does a construct with a half-backed artificial personality like yourself has. I'm dying to know. " Sukuna said as he winked toward Demiurge.
Demiurge focused his anger on his hand and before he knew it, he made a fist. He then quickly adjusted his glasses and his tie, before saying "I am Lord Ainz's creation through and through, therefore my nature is perfect and my mission clear so you can say my nature is divine. It is that of a-"
"Slave. " Sukuna finished Demiurge's line. "Is that why you're so weak or maybe it's just the fact that you're a cursed spirit at the end of the day. No matter, just order the creatures that you are trying so hard to hide by distracting me to attack already. " Sukuna said as he looked to the side.
Multiple invisible cursed spirits appeared around them. The first creature that showed itself was a huge winged demon, Wrath, who was just a couple of meters in front of Geto, the other notable one was something that even Geto wasn't expecting to see. "Is that... Yuta?! " Geto said as he recognized the blade and the hoodie. The other demons were mostly mid-level summons, War Devils.
"You know the intruder? " Demiurge asked with a fake surprise reaction. "He was most useful with my studies of cursed energy. So useful in fact, that I decided to bring him back without using any spells, but it seems that I reached beyond my grasp. I was aiming at creating a Dulahan but ended up with a headless zombie. I'm embarrassed. " Demiurge said as he tried to demoralize the intruders.
Sukuna placed his ni finger in his ear and began cleaning it. "That sounds like a fun experiment. You have potential... if only you weren't just another cursed spirit. " Sukuna said as he started walking forward. "Also, your shabby word destroyed any chances of the body using the original cursed technique, thank you very much. "
Sukuna then turned to Geto and said, "I hope that I don't have to tell you. "
Geto quickly nodded as he walked toward Yuta and the War Devils. "Don't worry about it. I noticed."
Demiurge lifted an eyebrow as he watched his plan not going according to what he expected. 'No matter. I still hold the upper hand anyways. Still, the intruder named Sukuna is really strong. No wonder he got so far. ' Demiurge thought as he finished analyzing Sukuna and Geto.
"No fair. Let me fight too. " Yorozu said as she approached Sukuna only to be kicked again.
"You go to rest. You're useless. Let's just do this, guardian." Sukuna said as turned his attention to Demiurge.
Demiurge quickly fixed his posture before saying, "I, guardian of the 7th layer, Demiurge, will gladly accept your lives. You may present them to me, now. "
A small smile appeared in the corner of Sukuna's face before he rushed toward Demiurge. "No one asked."
Wrath quickly rushed to face Sukuna. The demon was backed by a couple of extra War Devils, but they were of no concern to Sukuna, who continued running after Demiurge. 'These are just distractions, just like with the other guardian. ' Sukuna thought as Wrath flew toward him with its arm pulled to the side. It then delivered a powerful punch toward the king of curses who immediately blocked it.
Sukuna was forced to stop his advances and even more impressive, slowly pushed backward. 'Strong... much stronger than what I would expect from a shikigami-type cursed spirit. ' Sukuna thought as he noticed that the pattern and cursed energy flow of Wrath and Demiurge were practically the same. 'Then again, that's probably his main technique. Creation and control over cursed spirits.'
'I didn't expect to find a cursed technique so similar to cursed spirit manipulation. That big one and these smaller ones too, everyone but Yuta were created by that guardian. He's like a mini Ainz. ' Geto thought as he quickly dispatched the remains of Yuta with a kick. He was then surrounded by multiple War Devils.
'But, little Demiurge, you have made a terrible mistake. ' Geto thought as he touched one of the War Devils which made the creature freeze up instantly. He then did the same with the others that were trying to attack him.
Wrath was about to pull his arm back when he felt his body becoming heavier and heavier to the point where he couldn't move anymore. Sukuna then turned his attention to Geto, who had just finished beating the cursed spirits around him. 'When one uses cursed energy to create something so complex as another cursed spirit, it's extremely easy to disrupt their movements and lock them in place. In other words, the creation-type cursed technique sucks. Still, I wonder if you would be able to do that if your current body didn't have cursed spirit manipulation, Geto. ' Sukuna thought as he turned his attention to Demiruge.
'My summons can't move? ' Demiruge thought as he began flying away from Sukuna. 'They disrupted my spell with raw cursed energy manipulation... clever, but not good enough. '
Sukuna was about to jump after the guardian when Wrath recovered from the stun effect.
[Flamewing]
Wrath's wings were coated in fire forcing Sukuna to increase his cursed energy density. 'Annoying. ' Sukuna thought as he saw Demiurge moving away.
[Wave of Pain]
A cursed energy wave hit Sukuna's body causing extreme pain to him, but after a few moments, the effects were cancelled. 'A mind attack? This curse is really refined. ' Sukuna thought as he looked at the other members of his team. Both Yorozu and Geto were holding their heads crouched on the floor for a few seconds until they were able to clear themselves of the invading cursed energy.
[Cleave]
Sukuna used his most basic attack to gauge Wrath's power. Some cuts appeared on the enemy's body forcing the creature to wince a bit. 'Above average resistance, but nothing I can't break with just a power output increase. 'Sukuna thought as he prepared another attack.
[Frost of Judecca]
Sukuna found himself frozen right before he could unleash his cursed technique. Wrath saw that his master had used a skill to immobilize his opponent and then it punched Sukuna as hard as it could. 'A mid-range attack that causes slashing damage. I see... ' Demiurge thought as he pointed his hand at Wrath.
[Draconic Power], [Indomatability], [Physical Strength Maximus], [Body of Effulgent Heliodor]
Wrath glow every time one of the spells was activated and then, Demiurge opened his stance while pointing to the sky.
[Flames of Gehena]
A huge wall of flames appeared around them. 'The reason that they stunned my summons was probably because of some quirks between the magic system and cursed energy, but I don't understand it well enough to counter effectively, but Wrath was able to break out of it and attack. Therefore, I'll lessen the level gap between them. ' Demiruge thought as Sukuna quickly broke through the ice.
"An ice skill now? Aren't we getting fancy now? " Sukuna said as he started clapping. "My subordinate was the only one that I saw who could use something like that. Very good, Demiurge."
'Damn it. He just used something akin to a domain expansion. He called it [Flames of Gehena]... troublesome. ' Sukuna thought as he immediately recognized that Wrath and Demiruge became more powerful.
"Ara ara. We're in trouble. " Geto said as he pictured understood that this boost in power would make it near impossible for the stunning trick to work.
"Can I fight now? " Yorozu asked as she began rocking back and forth.
"You'll have to fight even if you don't want to girl. " Demiurge said as he placed his hand in his inventory. He then brought out a creepy statue with three jewels one on each arm. The statue had a head of a goat but the body of a human.
Both Geto and Sukuna immediately recognized the amount of cursed energy on the cursed item. "Yorozu get the fuck up. " Geto said as he placed his hand in front of his body. he then started focusing a huge amount of cursed energy as if he knew what was about to happen.
"Normally, summoning weak demons to fight you would be a very stupid thing to do. Not only that, but I'll be wasting the item granted to me by Lord Ainz. Normally, that is. "
Demiurge then turned his attention to the item. 'Lord Ulbert, your prototype will be put to good use now.' Demiurge thought as he turned his eyes to Sukuna.
"But thanks to the contribution from Yuta, I have learned how to properly use it. " Demiurge said as he placed his hand on his chest. He then dug his nail deep into his flesh before closing his hand.
'I can't believe this... a cursed spirit created from a cursed technique... no fucking way. ' Sukuna thought as he immediately recognized that pattern of cursed energy manipulation.
[Domain Expansion: Malevolent Abyss]
"That curse really did it! " Geto said as he finished preparing his countermeasure.
[Domain Expansion: Womb Profusion]
"And for the grand finale. " Demiruge said as he placed the cursed item as high as his arm would allow.
[Prototype: Armageddon Evil, active! ]
The cursed item broke apart releasing a lot of cursed energy. Soon after that, hundreds of demons started forming around Sukuna and his team. While this was not the world item that Ulbert expected, now that the user of the prototype was buffed with a domain of his own, the results were more than what even Demiurge was expecting. The summons average level was around level 60 with not a single demon below level 45. Demiurge was also blessed with the appearance of two Evil Lords which was something completely crazy.
"Ha ha ha. You really outdid yourself there, guardian. " Sukuna said as he started walking toward Demiurge.
As soon after the domain was formed, Sukuna noticed that no barrier was created and the environment didn't change at all which could only mean that the domain was meant to strengthen Demiurge, but that couldn't be the case since the guardian's cursed energy only increased for a single moment before he used the cursed item. "You are the best shikigami/cursed spirit summon whatever user that I have ever fought. " Sukuna said as he started clapping. "Excellent! Excellent! This just became a historical moment. You and the skeleton idiot should be real proud of yourselves."
The air around Sukuna suddenly changed as he said something that Demiurge couldn't understand. 'The guardian's domain is focused purely on strengthening his creations. It's like fighting the Ten Shadows, but with an opponent that's actually good. ' Sukuna thought.
[Open ■]
"Now... let's see how good these monsters are. "
