Thoughts on Takako Uro? (Sky Mommy)

__________

Tokyo No. 1 Colony

Naohiro spoke up. "Alright, everyone, let's get this thing started. Yuta, you can wait for Maki and Potential Man if you want so you can run into more allies."

He shook his head. "I need to check on Rika as soon as possible."

Naohiro gave him a side glance. "She had an opportunity to leave when the games started. If she is still inside, she could be considered a player. Watch both of your backs."

Naoya spoke. "If you find past sorcerers, run."

Hakari tilted his head to the side. "Why did you bring him if he's going to run around?"

Naohiro smirked. "You don't need to run Yuta. You have as much, if not more, potential than Potential Man. This experience can make you strong. However, Naoya is somewhat right. Kashimo, Uro, Dhruv, and Ryu are all off the table for you."

Gojo took off his blindfold. "Naohiro, let's ignore the randoms. This whole thing is going to waste time."

Naohiro cracked his neck. "Alright, let's meet on the other side."

*Plop*

With that, the group pushed inside the barrier, aside from one.

Hakari yawned. "[Domain Expansion: Idle Death Gamble]."

Zenin Compound

Megumi can be seen talking to Tsumiki. "I'm going to fight Mahoraga."

She looked at him like he was stupid. "Wait for Naohiro to come back, dummy."

He sighed. "*Sigh* This is going to be my final attempt. Either I die or tame the strongest Shikigami ever to exist."

Her eyes widened. "Are you suicidal!? You haven't even come close to beating that thing yet!"

Megumi smiled. "We are going to a small war, so I will tame it with Maki. With her help, we'll be able to take it down."

She turned away from him. "Why are you telling me this if you're so confident?"

Megumi laid back. "Because if he adapts too fast, there is a likelihood that we will lose. While we should be able to do it, I might die. Naohiro wouldn't tell me this if he didn't think I could handle it with Maki."

Tsumiki ran her fingers through his hair. "I'll trust you."

He smiles. "Maybe he'll call me by my name after this."

*slide*

Maki spoke up. "Stop flirting with your sister, and let's do this thing."

Megumi was immune to people's teasing since he was used to it. As long as Tsumiki was safe, he could care less about what other people thought.

Getting up, he left Tsumiki's room and followed Maki to the training ground.

...

Megumi moved his arms and clenched his hands into fists. "You ready, Maki?"

Unwrapping the cloth, she pulled out red nunchucks. "Yeah, summon him."

The special-grade cursed tool is known as [Playful Cloud]. It was one of the tools taken during the fight with Toji Fushiguro. After reaching grade-one levels of strength, Naohiro gifted it to her.

While it doesn't contain a cursed technique, it amplifies the user's power based on their physical capabilities.

For one with a heavenly restriction, the boost is massive.

He clenched his fists harder. "*Inahle* *Exhale* With this treasure, I summon [Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga]."

A cocoon cracks open, revealing a white behemoth with wing-like eyes and a golden wheel above his head.

Megumi shouts. "[Tiger Funeral: Totality - Merged Beast Korōri]!"

Korōri moves and grabs Mahoraga, holding him in place.

*Whack*

Maki rushes in and smacks Mahoraga across the face with Playful Cloud.

*BOOM*

Mahoraga goes flying and smashes through a stone wall.

Since a technique isn't imbued in the cursed tool, Mahoraga has nothing to adapt to.

He swings his arm to remove the dust and debris and stands up.

Instead of rushing in to fight, he looks around worriedly.

Using this short period of time, Megumi sends Korōri to Mahoraga to hold him off.

Megumi makes a shadow sign. "[Piercing Ox]."

Before Korōri reaches Mahoraga, the Divine General looks straight at Megumi and smiles.

Megumi narrowed his eyes. 'He figured out Naohiro isn't here.'

Mahoraga jumps at Korōri to smash it into the ground.

A voice speaks from behind him. "Nothing personal."

*Whack*

Mahoraga gets slammed into the ground after getting hit in the head again, removing part of his face in the process.

Even against Shikigami's, Maki is nearly invisible to all due to the properties her heavenly restriction gives her.

Pushing himself up, Mahoraga swings behind him as half his face heals.

*BAM*

He gets rammed by an Ox from the side.

*Squelch*

Korōri bites into his neck, attempting to rip its head off.

*CLANK*

Piercing attacks, one of Korōri's main offensive capabilities, are being adapted.

*Grab*

Mahoraga grabs the mouth of Korōri and puts a hand on the top and bottom of his jaw to rip his head apart.

However, Megumi isn't the only person he should be worrying about.

*Whack*

He gets a Playful Cloud strike to the stomach, removing his grip from Korōri.

Mahoraga throws a punch at Maki.

*boom*

Using her left hand, she catches Mahoraga's fist.

*BAM*

She kicks him in the stomach, making spit fly out of his mouth.

Korōri jumps at Mahoraga with a roar and shoots his claws towards his stomach.

Megumi made another hand sign. "[Nue]."

Mahoraga threw his arm forward to slice Korōri in half with the [Sword of Extermination].

*BTZ*

He gets shortly paralyzed by Nue's lightning as it clips the side of Mahoraga with its claws.

Using the short moment, Maki and Korōri attack Mahoraga.

*BAM* *Splat*

Maki grabs Mahoraga's face and knees it before wrapping Playful Cloud around its neck while Korōri impales him.

*CLANK*

*Kick*

As Mahoraga's wheel spun, Maki used the lock to shoot her feet into his face.

Angry, Mahoraga grabs Maki's legs and throws her off of him.

*Slice*

Without the threat of Maki, Mahoraga uses the sword of extermination to cut Korōri in half.

Megumi's eyes widened.

*BAM*

He gets a direct punch to the face and gets sent into a wall.

Maki attacks him from behind with a kick but gets a back fist.

She moves her forearm up to block most of the damage before she goes flying once more.

Maki rolls before shooting up while Playful Cloud is on the ground beside Mahoraga.

However, Maki noticed something.

'He's slowing down.'

Maki reaches behind her and unwraps the Split Soul Katana from Naohiro.

As she was about to move, she heard Megumi speak from the debris with a large gash on his face. "Potential this, potential that."

He stood up. "After trying over and over again, I've come to realize something."

*Stomp*

*Stomp*

*Stomp*

Mahoraga makes his way towards Megumi with a smile.

A maniacal smile appears on Megumi's face. "Who gives a shit!?"

Even though Maki can join the subjugation ritual, she isn't considered an outsider. This means that if Megumi loses, he will die, and the ritual will end.

Megumi speaks up. "Maki, I don't want help anymore."

Mahoraga stopped before Megumi and raised his arms in a haymaker position.

She widened her eyes as Megumi put his hands together. "It's all or nothing. Let's end this potential man shit. [Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden]."

...

A black barrier forms around Mahoraga and Megumi. Behind him are two columns of a spinal bone with bow-shaped ropes tied and roots attached.

...

Chimera Shadow Garden is Megumi Fushiguro's domain expansion. The incomplete version spreads out liquid shadows, allowing the user to conjure multiple Shikigami and manipulate shadows to the highest degree.

In an enclosed barrier, the target will fall into the liquid shadow if cursed energy isn't applied to the feet, making them unable to breathe and fall indefinitely.

The drawback of the incomplete version is that the user experiences a massive drain of cursed energy because of its inefficiency without a proper sure-hit.

However, if the domain is completed...

The user can mix and match all shadows inside the domain, and every Shikigami manipulated becomes a sure hit.

Mahoraga swung down at Megumi.

*Splash*

However, instead of Megumi, a liquid shadow clone exploded in his face as he started falling through the floor.

*CLANK*

He caught himself before falling into the shadows.

*SPLAT*

Megumi spoke from behind Mahoraga as he got a claw through his stomach. "[Tiger Funeral: Totality - Merged Beast Korōri]."

Shadowgraphic hand signs are no longer needed inside of the domain expansion.

*CLANK*

Mahoraga turned around and grabbed Korōri's face to smash it in.

*Splat* *Splat* *Splat* *Splat*

Four [Totalities] appear out of thin air, already having claws rip through Mahoraga's stomach, legs, arms, and head.

Mahoraga could do nothing as he couldn't adapt fast enough to the sure hit of the domain.

*Woosh*

The domain shatters as Mahoraga disappears.

...

Megumi gave a genuine smile as he fell to his knees. "Fuck you, Naohiro Zenin."

He passed out.
