Ch 47-Test Drive

Walking outside Meliodas and the other three when to a clearing so that they could train. They didn't whant to do it close to he RV in fear that they might damage it.

So what are we going to do today cap?, just some light sparing?, energy control?"

"Neither" he spoke as he raised his hand to the side. "Rhongomyniad" As he said Altria's true name, she turned Into a beam of light that flew into Melioda's hand, as the light dimmed down a beautiful lance was now in his hand.

"Da Fuck!" (Ban)

"???" (Topaz)

Both Ban and Topaz were completely baffled at the sudden change of events. At one moment the woman that seduced their captain was there next to them and the next second she turned into a weapon.

What kind of magical fuckery is that?.

Meliodas grinned at their confusion and explained that this was Altria's original form or more like the form she would tend to be in. Meliodas answered many other questions they had besides how he acquired Imaginarium and how he made her specifically but Meliodas only answered what wouldn't expose his gacha skill.

After a bit of questioning Meliodas and the others were going to spar as Meliodas wanted to test out Altria's full capabilities. But of course not before he gave them a bit of an armory upgrade.

Tossing [Playfull Cloud] and [Anhiliation Ray] towards them. Both Ban and Topaz caught each of their new weapons with confusion until realization hit them.

"Woah captain! I feel stronger already by holding this weapon, What is this thing?"

"Yeah what is this bow, it looks like a bow but it doesn't have a stri-" Before she could finish her sentence a bowstring made of energy materialized and connected the two spheric gems at the end of the bow.

"Never mind, but what arrows do you use? Are normal ones fine?" Asked topaz as she was still surprised by the energy string the bow made.

"Nope just imagine a blue arrow appearing on your hand." Responded Meliodas confidently.

As he instructed, Topaz imagined an arrow appearing on her hand. The gems on the bow shined as it gathered it's stored sun energy to create a blue energy arrow on topaz hand.

Amazed by the sight, topaz immediateley drew the arrow on the ethereal blue string and aimed it at a tree.

*Woosh*

*Pierce* *pierce* *pierce*

*Boom*

With a single release of her hands, the arrow flew true and pierced a numerous amounts of trees before creating a small explosion, leaving behind a crater that would stay there for ever.

"Hehe" with a nervous laughter, topaz realized how strong the new bow her brother has just given her.

She could already pierce trees with her compound bow before as long as she applied either curse energy or Adeptal energy to her arrows.

But now her new bow doesn't need any of that, even the energy arrows are as bendy as the real thing and the bowstring feels just like one allowing her to shoot curved arrows and other now techniques that she has developed in her training.

With a happy smile she ran towards Meliodas and gave him a big hug full of happiness and appreciation as she absolutely loves the bow.

Meliodas only returned the smile as he found it funny that she didn't know that the bow could do more than go kaboom.

Patting her back gently, they both broke their hug.

"Cool right?, but that not all it can do"

"Eh really?" Said topaz in surprise.

Meliodas then proceed to explain all of [Annihilate ray] to topaz.

Immediately wanting to try it out, she materialized an arrow untill Meliodas stoped her. He wanted to tell Ban next what his new toy did.

Looking at ban he said "alright what you have in your hand is called [playfully Cloud] its strenght and usability siley depends on the users physical strength, meaning that it is a good match for someone who can steal physical atributes from someone else"

Hearing his captains explanation Ban felt that what he said mafe sense as he had felt immensely stronger once he had the weapon in his hands.

Giving it a swing, it created a huge gust of wind from the sheer force of his physical strength

A smile appeared on his face as he looked as his captain with a grin.

"Hey cap, shouldnt we test out new toys~, I'm sure that your dying to try out Altria" he egged his captain on.

Meliodas frowned as he knew what Ban was trying to do.

'Looks like he's getting cocky, better beat him up'. Thought Meliodas as he set his 'righteous' intentions of beating up his crewmate.

With a nod the three of them got ready for battle, tension Was high and the three were waiting for the signal begining the fight.

Once the leaf of the trees fell. They each moved in a blue and disappeared from each other sight to to the forest.

---------------------------

Topaz POV-

*Pant*

*Pant*

*Pant"

As I was jumping from tree to tree in the forest I could already feel myself getting tired.

One thing that I learned from buig bro as an archer is to never stop moving no matter what.

It sounds simple, but in really it isn't. If it weren't for my rigorous training and big amounts of cursed and Adpetal energy coursing through my body. I would already on the floor tired from running so much.

But no matter what never stop moving.

*Woosh*

'danger!'

Ducking my head down, white strips pierced quickly were my head was before, I concentrated cursed energy on my legs and kicked off the branch I was previously running and onto the next one.

Suddenly four more of those white strips appeared, activating my sharingan I was able to maneuver around them and kept on running along the white strips path to find their source.

As I kept running many more of them kept attempting to pierce me but luckily for me I had these eyes allowing me to dodge them with great precision.

After a minute of running and dodging I managed to find the source, there he stood, Meliodas with his eyes closesld and the spear in his hand. Though the shell of his lance seems to branch off like a tree spreading its roots.

Guess I know what those white strips are now.

Aiming my arrow at him I waited a few seconds until an arrow was fully charged. With a single release of my hand the arrow silently flew towards him.

"[Full Counter]" he said as he swung Altria towards my arrows but as he was about to make contact the arrow broke into four arrows, passing behind him and exploding in the ground near him.

That created a dust of cloud but my eyes could clearly see that he wasn't hurt at all in fact he was grining in hapiness.

But even with the smoke screen he still set his gaze on me.

I quickly shot many arrows at him only to be dodged or thrown back at me.

As I was trying to find a weakness in his defence while running on the trees around him, a sudden blur came rushing in and clashed with Meliodas.

"Ban! this dumbass, he went straight in!" I muttered in annoyance.

It's not like I was worried about him since he couldn't die. Even if my brother cut him in half or blew him up, ban would still be fine.

Taking an opportunity while Ban and Meliodas dooked it out, I shot Meliodas in hopes of breaking his defence in a chance of giving Ban an opportunity or my arrows geting past him but it all seems impossible.

Honestly sometimes I feel like his sight is better than mine, the sharingan can see things to its finest detail. But for Meliodas its like he has eyes in the back of his head.

Meliodas cursed energy sudenly flared up as With his empty hand he slashed the air and said "[Dismantle]"

In a mere second Ban was turned into minced meat but I could already see those pieces connecting themselves back togheter.

"Oh Topaz~" he said suddenly said as a chill whent down my back.

As I was about to step in the next tree and shoot and arrow, the bark of the tree suddenly exploded and the white strips of his spear came rushing at me.

"Shit!" As I was cought off guard by his snack attack, I activated my cursed technique giving me a quick but powerful boost in speed allowing me to narrowly escape his attack.

Damit! I can already feel my coin pouch getting lighter!.

I fell on the floor and was about to run back into the forest into a safe distance. But the floor shook and thirty white strips came out of the ground stoping right before piercing my body.

Every. Single. One. Of. Them

It's quite scary how close we have come to death each time we train, and Big bro isn't even taking it seriously.

With a sigh I readied my hands in defeat and they all retracted back into the ground and probably back to my brothers spear or woman?.

Anyways I think it's time I head back to the two.

------------------------

Ban POV-

"Geez captain, couldn't you I don't know, cut me into pieces a little less?" I asked sarcasticaly as I saw all of the spears shell strips return.

Probably meaning that he already got Topaz.

Sigh the captain is to strong, but I did my best. I even managed to get a few hits in with Topaz Help but Meliodas tanked them all like the boss he is.

Meliodas only chuckled at my question and said "it was a lesson to not get cocky Ban, you immediately whent in and fought me without strategy just because you got a new toy that made you a little stronger. Remember that the strenght of that weapon depends on your own strenght" he said with a teasing grin

Okay I admit that I did get a little cocky, but who wouldn't when you get such a cool thing.

Plus I wasn't trying to beat him but to try and see my limits with these... What did he call them?.

Oh yeah! Nunchuks.

I like them very very much, way more than the spear. I might have talent with it but not as much with Playfull cloud, I don't know how to describe it but the sensation of them it in my hands just feels so natural to twirl, and swing it when fighting.

"Oh your back Into one already? Your Regeneration powers never cease to amaze me" spoke a voice from the forest.

As she came out of the shadows we recognized that it was Topaz.

"Yup on piece" I replied with a thumbs up.

As we all gathered once again, Altria turned back into her original form and whent back into the RV so that we could go back to the road.

------------------

A/N: I know that Meliodas didn't. Use the full capabilities of Altria but why would he nuke his own friends? That why I only wrote him using the divine shell skill.

I also have to say that one of my favorite cursed techniques are sukunas. Once you understand what they really do you will realize that they are really overpowered.

Sukuna doesn't just send flying cuts, but he cuts a specific place or space. That also the reason why he is able to get past gojos Infinity.

He's cutting the space gojos locked himself in he is in not cutting space until it reaches him. But already cutting space where he wants to cut allowing him to bypass the infinite space between them that gojos has protecting himself.

Well at least that's what my understanding of sukunas cursed technique.

So simple yet so cool.

I'm not a Sukuna glazer in fact I like gojo more but we have to admit that sukunas abilities are the easiest to understand but powerfull
