Ch 56-Training Before the Banquet

A/N No.1: Meliodas Domain Expansion will be a little different than Sukunas Domain expansion. Not ability wise but asthetically. Sukunas Domain expansion has always had cow skulls. Probably because he sees humanity as nothing but animals. Or probably because he sees humanity as cattle, remember that Sukunas practices Cannibalism so... Yeah. Meliodas Domain expansion will also have skulls and blood but it will only amount to the amount that he has killed.

-----------

With those words blood red liquid erupted below his feet, spreading a far as it could.

Skulls and skeletons of humans emerged from the ground and seemingly unending as to how many would undrown themselves from the flowing blood.

But of all things the thing that struck fear into the hearts of the Tarrot card party was the shrine with a mouth that Meliodas casually sat upon.

*Shing*

Before any of the could even speak or think the surrounding seemingly turned black and white for a second as everything in themsurroundings forest was cut into small cubes.

"What the fuck!" Exclaimed Ban in fear.

"Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, it's the domain technique of one of my favorite cursed techniques, Cleave and dismantle. What you just saw was a domain expansion sure hit effect, Everything that was not a living being would be hit by dismantle. If I hadn't done that, all of you would be minced meat"

"Isn't that to overpowered?, you could literally kill anyone you wanted in a matter of seconds" Scathach now knew how truly dangerous a domain expansion was.

"Yes but there are a few ways to counter it, fist is creating a simple domain Wich I will teach you latter and the second is through overpowering you enemies domain expansion through your own" explained Meliodas.

"By the way, there are two types of domain expansions, open and closed ones. Most domain expansions would need to create a separate space with a barrier to deploy Domain Expansion since it's hard to keep one stable without a domain barrier. An open Domain Expansion is like drawing in their without a canvas while barrier domain Expansion is drawing within the canvas. Drawing in the air sounds impossible but it can be done" Meliodas himself has been experimenting with domain expansion but sadly he hasn't been able to turn other domain expansion he knows into open ones like Sukunas Domain Expansion.

Meliodas continued to thoroughly explain the nature of Domain Expansion, each word that he spoke showed the deep knowledge that he possessed.

After about a 2 hour lecture about cursed energy and techniques the time for the banquet became close.

"Alright that's enough for today, all of you get ready for tonight banquet. Scathach, see you at the banquet to" despite already being recruited ino the Tarot Card party Scathachs family still don't know so she still need to attend the banquets.

Or at least until the gang leaves along with Scathach and Ais.

"Alright now that they are gone" reaching into my storage I took out a golden arrow that had intricate inscriptions on the side of the tip.

A stand arrow.

I saved up for latter in my storage since I didn't have time to use it when I had but... I kinda forgot about it.

That's why today I will use all the stuff I haven't used to boost my power.

That includes stand arrow, devil contract, and a random pokemon ticket.

Without hesitation I stabed my arm with the arrow.

The thing began to wriggle around my would as if it had come to life and slithered inside my arm.

"AGH!" Shit it hurts, it feels like as if a Xenomorph baby went inside arm.

After a few seconds of excruciating pain, the arrow around my arm seemed to have melted into my body.

[Congratulations, King Crimson has evolved into King Crimson: Requiem]

<[Stand name: King Crimson Requiem< p>

Stats-

Destructive Power: A->S

Speed: A->A+

Precision: A->S

Durability: A

Effective Range: E->D

Abilities-

Time skip: Erase a dozen seconds of time during Wich only the stand and the stand user can act. When time is erased, no life in the world will experience this period of time and will have no recollection of it. Birds in flight and the hands on a clock will seem to have teleportedamd no one will be able to remember how.

Epitaph: Ability that allows you to see a few seconds into the future and project it as an image. The future vision is usually represented as an image on the inside of their hair.

Time save: Allows you to save a frame in time, opposite of King Crimson main ability. When saving a frame in time you can overlap that frame in time with the current one for a few seconds. If you saved the seconds of an explosion and overlap it with the current timeline the people within the current timeline will be affected by the explosion besides the stand user]

Dam that's powerful, imagine if somebody tried to stab me but I saved the frame of him stabbing me, making it never happen. Thereafter I overlap the frame of time with the current timeline and make his past self stab himself.

That overpowered as hell.

... Now that I think about, isn't this ability kinda movie-ish.

The first ability allows me to take out a frame from a movie strip so that event never happen and skips to the next frame.

And the second ability allows me to cut out a frame from movie strip and then place it on top one frame in the movie strip so that it happens at the same time when projected.

Huh, that pretty weird.

But either way it's really good, I could save an enemies ultimate and use it against them. What's even better is that I'm the only person that isn't effected.

Well that's for later.

Next is the pokemon

Ripping the ticket into two halves, the ticket disintegrated. A white gentle light appeared in its place as it started to move and shift.

a slim, quadrupedal, blue, mammalian Pokémon with white, diamond-shaped markings. Its face and underside are white as well. has a thick, purple mane that resembles the aurora borealis and two white, streamer-like tails that wave forward. It has a long, white snout.

Opening it's eyes it looked straight at me, calmly analyzing me.

"Hello, Suicune. I've summoned you to be my partner".

Hearing my bold words the pokemon roared, the clouds in the sky suddenly began to gather as rain poured down on us.

Looks into his eyes I had finally realized his intentions.

'If you want me, you have to beat me' was what he was probably saying to me.

I couldn't help but chuckle at the Pokemons actions.

Hoh, of thats how you Wana do it

"Fine, let's play Suicune. Semi-Prime: Leviathan!" A blue hue surrounded my body as a long fish tail appeared ony back and gills sprouted from my neck.

I could feel it, his connection to the water around us.

Our clashing yet equal powers over water fought for authority, ever raging for the water flowing around us.

He probably thought that he could have the advantage with this rain of his.

Sadly for him water is also my bitch!.
