Volume 7 Chapter 340 - 340 Going Back
As the giant pillar of flames in the form of katana tip bisected the Balor, the effects of stagnation disappeared.
Kisuke's transformation was also undone and his enamel-like skin started to flake off as he falls to the ground.
Yoruichi hurriedly caught him as the last visage of his Hollowfication disappeared and hurriedly covered his face with reminders of the broken up cloak, only revealing his eyes. The choker also started resuming its functions and change his skin into healthy tan and his hair to black.
However, not everything returned to normal as his left arm is still charred black with a wisp of flames on it. But despite its looks, his arm is still so hot that is capable of burning Yoruichi's skin despite the layer of protection from her Reiatsu-Ki.
But even then, Yoruichi didn't mind it one bit and carried him on her back to go towards the rest of the Loki Familia.
With a few large jumps, Yoruichi reached them and laid down Kisuke on the ground, "Do you still have any potions in you?"
The Loki Familia is still stuck in their place as they watch the Balor reduced to ashes and only leave behind the large bisected magic stone and only came to it when Yoruichi arrived and asked them for potions.
The first one to react is Riveria and she looked towards her fellow Elf, "Tione, give her the remaining high potions."
Tiona also recovered after being suddenly called out by her superior and hurriedly looked towards Finn and saw him nod before taking out the remaining five high-class potions and seven mid-class potions from her bag that Lefiya passed her earlier.
"Thanks." Yoruichi them started pouring everything on Kisuke's charred left arm and left shoulder.
As the potions touch Kisuke's arm, it immediately evaporated but Yoruichi determined that her guess is correct as it's much more effective than just pouring water on it.
After the potions, Kisuke's arm's temperature was reduced to a bearable level and the fiery veins and wisp of flames already ceased existing.
Sighing in relief, Yoruichi asked, "Can you move?"
"I can move… But I don't really want to…" Kisuke answered in a hoarse voice as he scanned his surroundings, 'I guess that's the limit of the Dungeon… After spawning those two monsters, the Mana from the surrounding became depleted that I can't feel any monsters being spawned.'
"How about your arm?"
"I can't feel it… However, if I must say something, although it's my first time using it, it seems to be very effective~."
"Well, it wasn't known as a sacrificial spell for nothing. But if you can still speak like that, then you're fine… Though I didn't expect it to suddenly pull out time slowing ability just like that."
"I already expected that though… That's why I was able to react quickly. However, this really reminds me of one of Rias Gremory's Bishop, Gasper Vladi…"
"Oh… right… That trap… Forbidden Balor View was it?" Yoruichi then faced the Loki Familia, "Mind if we join you to the trip outside?"
Yoruichi's decision stemmed from the fact that Dungeon seems to respond to their spiritual energies so, in addition to the Juggernaut, it also spawned a special variant of Balor.
She could sneak her way out but she would have to use her Shinigami abilities so instead of guessing the Dungeon's intentions it'll be a lot easier for both Yoruichi and Kisuke to guess other people's intention.
Hearing this, Finn was about to refuse as there are no advantages for them to let some unknown strong stranger join their group. In fact, it'll only put them in danger.
But before he could refuse, Yoruichi continued, "We'll sell you that magic stone from Balor for half the price. You can sell it to the guild and we'll only take half of the selling price."
Finn hesitated, but after a few seconds of contemplating, he thought that its just money and still couldn't justify the fact that they might be dangerous for them even if they helped them earlier.
Seeing that he still won't agree, Kisuke added, "I can tell you why everything slowed down earlier~." Despite his hoarse voice the jolly tone still couldn't be hidden. And instead of Finn, those words are for the fidgetting beautiful High-Elf.
"Finn, let's take them with us." Riveria immediately suggested and Finn could only smile wryly, 'Well, I also want to know what just happened…' Finn determined that it'll be valuable information if they can explain the Balor's ability so that they could create a countermeasure against it in case that they faced something like that in the future.
"Fine…" Finn then faces their other companions, "Tione, Tiona. Gather those magic stones and we'll leave."
" "Roger." " The twins ran towards the magic stones buried in ashes. While running through the destruction that was created by their battle, they still couldn't believe something like that was possible. Ever since they became level 5s, they can already see their limits and surely, it was far from this.
After Tione and Tiona returned, the group then left the place.
While walking through the 49th floor, Riveria couldn't stop herself from asking anymore, "Can you tell us now what sort of magic the Balor used?" She wanted to ask about his magic too but figured that he won't answer anything about it. A secret so that you could cast more than just three magics, very attractive, but Riveria knew her boundaries, 'I'll just find a way to ask about it later…'
Kisuke, who's on Yoruichi's back, answered, "Hmm… Let's see… There are two parts on the Balor's third eye's ability. The first one is Time Stagnation and the other one is a beam with annihilating properties."
"Time Stagnation? Annihilating properties?" Riveria asked again. This is her first time hearing such terms used in magic. After all, the mainstream is elemental magic and the rare one consist of healing and curses magic.
"Let me explain the annihilating magic first as it is easier to understand. Basically, annihilating magic is simple magic that reduces everything it touches to elementary particles upon contact."
"A-a magic like that exist? How do you defend against it if it destroys everything it touches?" Riveria continued to ask. Contrary to her usual demeanor, her companions can tell that she's excited which surprised them, especially Ais.
But before Kisuke could answer, Tiona interrupted them, "How does that magic look when it works?"
Kisuke asked Yoruichi to pick up a rock and replied to her first, "Imagine that this rock is you."
"Uh-huh." Tiona looked towards the rock on Yoruichi's palm and nodded.
"Then when you're hit by that magic without being able to defend," Kisuke then gave Yoruichi the cue and she suddenly crushed the rock on her hand reducing it into dust, "That happens~!"
As she did imaging herself in the position of that rock, Tiona shuddered and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
"This type of annihilating magic weakens or destroys the link that is keeping your body together so when you're hit, you'll be reduced to blood and gore if the magic is weak or you'll be reduced to ashes… Same as those monsters when they die." Kisuke continued.
