Balor and Juggernaut VS Kisuke and Yoruichi part 1

"T-The... Juggernaut!?" Tiona exclaimed.

"Now that's the proper sound!" Chuckling, Yoruichi dashed towards the Juggernaut.

The moment the Juggernaut appeared, the Loki Familia also finished packing up and started moving towards the 49th floor. And soon after, Riveria also finished her spell, "Surround us, become a great barrier of forest light and protect us - my name is Alf! Via Shilheim!"

In the lead are Raul and the rest of the Level 4s as they exit the 50th floor while the executives reached the stairs last. However, just when everyone is about to escape, Ais suddenly stopped.

Everyone immediately noticed this and turned back, "Ais! What are you doing!?" Tiona shouted at her.

Ais stayed still for a while as the roars of battle erupted behind her. She looked up with determination and said, "I want to watch..."

"No!" Bete immediately rejected her idea, "It's too dangerous! Even though they sound confident, I doubt they could really defeat both monsters at the same time! And once they're done with them, the Juggernaut will be chasing after us!"

"Right!" Tione also joined in, "And even if we can fight the Juggernaut, it's not now when we don't have weapons and potions!"

But instead of listening to them, Ais only looked at Finn who's also staring at her intently.

A few seconds later, Finn sighed, "Fine..."

" "Finn!?" " Gareth and Riveria shouted at him in surprise.

"Captain!? Why!?" Tione asked.

"It's as Bete said. If they can't defeat those monsters, then the Juggernaut will be chasing after us."

"Then why!?"

"If the Juggernaut came to us with everyone else around, forget about fighting, protecting others would prove to be harder and casualties would be inevitable. With that said," Finn then looked towards Gareth's position, "Gareth, Bete. Lead everyone to the upper floors first... Riveria, what do you want to do?"

Riveria closed her eyes and said, "If Ais is staying, them I'm staying too."

Finn nodded, "Alright. Please maintain the barrier. Once the two of you successfully led them up, come back to us."

Bete understood Finn's reasoning and nodded after gritting his teeth. He and Gareth then went up to catch the other and the only remaining Loki Familia are Finn, Riveria, Tione, Tiona, and Ais.

"...Thank you... Finn." Ais gave her gratitude to their captain.

"It's alright. I'm also curious about how much they can do... And ever since we stepped on the stairs leading to the 49th floor, the pain in my thumb has subsided by a lot..."

Back to the battlefield, Yoruichi came face to face with the 30-meter long skeletal dragon and the first thing she did is to rush to it using Flash Step. Yoruichi reappeared on top of its head and was about to break its skull with a kick.

However, just as she's about to unleash her attack, the skeletal dragon moved in subsonic speeds, throwing off Yoruichi's stance just the shockwave generated alone.

It's then the Juggernaut's turn to appear behind her and threatened Yoruichi with its claws, "RAWWR!!!"

Yoruichi was shocked at its sheer speed and dodged using Flash Step, retreating for good, "Oi, honey... This guy is fast..." Although her burst speeds are much faster and quieter, the Juggernauts movement is much nimbler.

On Kisuke side, "Kamisori! Benihime! (Razor! Crimson Princess!)" After sending out multiple blood-red sword arcs towards the Balor's face, he answered, "We're already expecting this..."

The Balor was able to block a few of Kisuke's sword arcs but the rest changed their trajectories and successfully hit its face. Multiple small explosions resounded but the result only cut a bit of the Balor's face which already started regenerating. In a few seconds, it'll be back to its former appearance.

"This is going to be hard..." Although their injuries are already fully healed, they still haven't recovered all their strength after almost being poisoned to death. And due to releasing so much of his Hollow Reiatsu-Ki last, Kisuke couldn't use his Hollowfied form. On top of that, he also can't use his Bankai (Final Release) due to certain reasons, "Try not to die, dear..."

While saying that, Kisuke dodged the Balor's club swing by jumping upwards. But due to its size and speed unbefitting of that size, just a single swing from it created an air pressure that is enough to uproot the boulders around.

The barrier placed by Riveria on the stairs towards the 49th floor got some cracks on it after being hit some of the boulders and everyone from the Loki Familia didn't know what face they're making as Riveria's barrier is capable of taking on the strongest of magic.

"T-this is insane..." Tiona muttered.

"I-I know... How can they still keep their calm composure in the face of that?... And how are they floating anyway?" Tione asked.

"Instead of floating... It's more like they're stepping on air... Though I also don't know how they're doing it. Their boots are probably some kind of magic item." Finn answered her.

"And that guy's sword... A magic sword? But how is he able to use it like a normal sword? And that chant, it's my first time hearing that language..." Riveria also said something of her own.

Ais, on the other hand, could only stay quiet while also clenching her fist, 'How...? How are they keeping up with those monsters? And aren't they afraid of dying?'

Kisuke and Yoruichi met each other in the middle of the 50th floor with both of their backs on each other, while the monsters both kept their distance watching both of them from afar. Although the monsters' instinct is telling them to slaughter the humans in front of it, some of their instincts also tell them that the two floating humans are very dangerous.

Even the watching Loki Familia was surprised yet again with a sudden stalemate. All their experiences tell them that Monsters aren't capable of strategizing but it seems to be a different case for these monsters who're at least Level 8s.

"Can you really not activate you Hollowfication?"

"Maybe for a minute if I really want to..."

"Taking more time will be dangerous. We don't know what else the Dungeon is cooking for us."

"I know... Like the Gods and Goddesses, it seems that the Dungeon is reacting to our spiritual abilities. Once we sealed up our Reiatsu-Ki, it shouldn't do anything else."

"So? What's the plan?"

"Put those guys on the same place and restrain them for a few seconds."

"The Juggernaut is not a problem since it's fragile against physical attacks. If I put everything out, I'll be able to chase after it easily, however, the Balor still hasn't opened its third eye. From the information I gathered, it seems to be capable of energy beam attacks."

"However, this guy is a different variant... That energy beam might have some more tricks in it."

"Regardless, we have to move now. Those guys are getting impatient."

"Alright! Let's go!"

With Kisuke's declaration, Yoruichi immediately released everything she had, "Shunko! Raijin Senkei!"
