Reconstruction [JT]

[Deleted]

Taking a deep breath through miscellaneous holes all over his form, Orobas made haste in order to exit his personal chambers, forcing his rather weakened state to move to the best of his ability. Decrepitude had taken his ability to move easily over the years, and he had since been suffering from this discomfort. Nonetheless, he was still dead-set on thriving in this hellscape, and would force himself to overcome any obstacle needed, even if through sheer will alone.

As the entrance to his chambers creaked open, he was met by an unnamed Hason; one that had immediately entered a kneeling position the moment he saw Orobas. "Greetings, Sir," the Hason spoke, his voice somewhat trembling, "I bring good news. That Saika you've requested has made his presence known and agreed to make his way here, though it took some.... convincing." Orobas let out a sigh. "I sincerely hope you hadn't resorted to something unnecessary such as violence," he said, his voice unnaturally deep, "nonetheless, where might be be?" The Hason seemed to let out a sigh of relief, before speaking once more. "He's in the main hall. If you'd like, Sir, I could help you-" The hason was immediately cut off by Orobas raising a single hand near his face. "That won't be necessary, boy. You've done more than enough. For that, I thank you." The Hason simply nodded, and took his leave.

Following the hallways of coal and brimstone, Orobas looked to make his way to the main hall of the rather large building located from the depths of Hell; the central Envainar base. Though being modeled after Los Noches with some modifications, the building was easily twice as large. That said, it also suffered from being twice as empty. Through his time spent in hell, and hours upon hours interacting with Sonken Kouhai over the topic, Orobas had made the decision to make this organization his; to reform it, and rebuild from the ground up. As such, securing others was mandatory; this wasn't a task that he'd be able to even come close to pulling off on his own. As such, he had put together a small group for the time being; a sort of organized army, comprised of mostly Hason and Saika, with one or two Akki thrown into the mix. Altogether, numbers were somewhere in the early thousands. He looked to bolster that today.

Eventually making his way into the main hall, Orobas scouted out the area with his rather immense energy sensory capabilities, seeing as he suffered from blindness. Almost immediately his attention was brought to a very specific Saika that he'd requested some of his lesser bring him. If his face were visible in his natural form, he'd be smiling. Slowly making his way into the room and closer to the Saika, Orobas began to speak. "Greetings, Saika," he said, his voice reverberating through the room, "I appreciate that you've accepted my invitation. We as a group are looking to reforge the glory that once was the Envainar, as you may have been made aware by your escort. It's been brought to my attention that you seek power, do you not? To rise above the stations of rank and tear down even Akki that stand before you? Well, what if I told you that we could aid you on that task? To accept you not as a lesser, but as an equal, destined to truly bolster these unholy armies and make your name known by every last realm to be subjugated by the forces of Hell? You have astounding potential, though may require some guidance in order to hone that potential into raw, unchecked power. We would like to be that guiding force, to take you in with open arms. What say you?"

[Jeff Franklin]

There he was, sitting in a decently sized room after getting an invitation from a fairly powerful Akki, not knowing if it was going to be a trap Jeff decided not to worry about it. A little roughed up by the one who brought the invitation, not that he's complaining about that, Jeff sit's there waiting for what he could only assume to be boss or a leader. While waiting he looks over at some Saika and Hason currently in the room with him he decides to strike up a conversation while waiting. "So, what are ya in for? I know it must not be pretty to drag you to Hell", he manages to get this question out but before he gets a reply the bigshot walks in. 

Jeff already had some respect for this Akki, instead of belittling and attempting to eat him he decided to greet him, this is why Jeff has more respect in Saika and other Hell beings, they don't try to hide their motives, usually. So he wishes to reclaim and rebuild the glory of the Envainar, true I already knew this but I wasn't sure until know. Listening as Orobas continues on about what they can offer Jeff, nodding his head to some of Orobas's assessment of him, the power to tear down and beat even Akki sounds about right and he even wants to treat me as an equal? I have great potential? 

When Orobas finished speaking Jeff chimes in, "You are right, I have been looking for power, power to survive down here and to beat those that wish to break me. I like the sounds of becoming a member of this army, especially if I'm treated equal and not as if I was the bottom of the barrel, this is already sounding good. You sound respectable and thats hard for me to find, especially in the World of the Living it's hard to find those with pure intent other than children. While I don't necessarily believe I have that much potential you have already convinced me to join you and your cause. When you refer to subjugate are you talking about keeping those Hell beings in check that are wrecking havoc on the world for no reason? Those who only spur the living to become more corrupted? If so I would follow you all the way."

Finishing his response Jeff looked at Orobas, this was an ancient Akki, one who clearly has been around for quite some time watching the worlds around him grow and advance. Jeff understood how it was to be in a world that was different from what you were taught, although in Jeff's case he knew it would be different as his parents showed him that human adults are horrible, either hiding their intent, believing they are untouchable by the law or society, even those who didn't care who knew and just want to do their awful things. This Akki however definitely seemed like the type of being they should have strove to become, doing only necessary evil for a better cause. Jeff  just hopes the Envainar are really like the stories he's heard on his journey through Hell trying to become stronger.

[Deleted]

Orobas let out a deep chuckle. Not necessarily sinister in nature, but certainly one that showed a level of satisfaction behind Jeff's quick agreeance. "I'm quite glad to hear that you're willing to further a cause more grand than any venture made here in the past. Come now, there's much to be done here." With that said, Orobas began to turn and head back toward the building's designated area for personal quarters, half-expectant of Jeff to follow along in order to guide him through the area.

"The Envainar is a group dedicated to snuffing out every aspect of life within the three worlds, though I'm sure you're very much aware of that fact. Ultimately, our goal here is to appoint you to that position; to hone your skills, and perfect every aspect of your combative being. It will likely take quite a bit of time, but in the end, it will be very much worth the effort." As the two of them continued to walk, Orobas eventually held out his hand down a corridor of rooms, each one seemingly having the same entrance. "These are personal quarters. You are expected to avoid entering another's quarter without any sort of explicit invitation. For the time being, the majority of these rooms are empty; reserved for those in highest standing. You may choose one to make your own, should you feel inclined to do so."

Continuing on with the final room of the "tour", Orobas led Jeff into a rather large room with nothing but open space. It was well-lit, with orbs of hellfire floating around each area, about 100 feet apart from each other and giving off an impressive amount of light. The room itself had to be well over half a mile wide. "It's here that I'd like to see just what you're capable of doing in a combative scenario, so we know where we need to start working." With that being said, Orobas' reiatsu exploded across the area. In place of the somewhat small frame that Orobas had maintained before, his physical form contorted and shifted wildly, like a mass of flesh and muscle contorting into a completely different being altogether. By the time he was finished, he was significantly taller, standing over seven feet, and his form took on one that seemed much more able to fight.

He placed one of his split arms over his shoulder, and gripped tightly. Digging his claws into his skin, Orobas proceeded to rip off a rather large chunk of flesh, and lightly toss it into the air as his should almost immediately patched itself up. This chunk of skin began to float about five feet above Orobas, and writhed about with little to no patterns of doing such. "I won't personally engage you, as I'm unsure if this building would hold very long should I proceed any further along my Saisei Oni. That said, do not expect your opponents to be pushovers. I fully expect you to have to exert yourself, though I won't actively seek to take your life." As he finished speaking, the birthing pod that had been created began to expand.

As it did, and and the outer layer of skin began to break and split, a new, horrifyingly impossible being dropped to the ground. It seemed to force itself to stand, though struggled in order to do so. The being itself looked grotesque, like it had once resembled something akin to that of a human, but had since had its physical form eroded away into the mutant pile of forcibly walking flesh it now was. Orobas held out his hand, and pointed at Jeff. "Let this trial commence."

[Jeff Franklin]

Hearing that Orobas was glad that Jeff excepted the offer he proceeds to say there's much to be done before waving him along to follow behind as he begins walking out of the room. Well, time to see how grand this place is and how exactly he's going to help me become stronger, moving to follow behind Orobas, trying to keep a steady pace and a steady distance from him. The silence didn't last long before Orobas began to tell Jeff the purpose of the Envainar and the goal to have Jeff as one of the heads after being honed into as perfect a weapon he could be.

Only a little time past, or at least that's what it seemed as Jeff was actually listening pretty vehemently, before they came to a stop and Orobas lifted his hand to point down a corridor. Ah, so this is the sleeping quarters and I get to choose whichever one I want, I could get used to this, almost lost in his thought he nearly misses the part about not entering without an invitation. So, he's allowing me to choose a room for my own from what essentially is the big shot rooms? I'm down with that, haven't had a peaceful sleep for quite awhile.

Without much dilly dallying they start moving again, traveling through multiple halls and passages as if they were in a maze or even a labyrinth searching for one specific room. Luckily Orobas seemed to have this place memorized as he didn't need to stop and think whenever they came to a section with multiple connected hallways, he would immediately without pause head down one until they arrived at there destination. Entering the room left Jeff in awe as it was so large you could fit a literal town inside it with room to spare probably.  

Looking around this well light room Orobas let's Jeff know this is the perfect location to have a combat scenario in order to see where he needs to begin to help Jeff improve. Even with his limited energy sensory Jeff could tell that the old Akki in front of him had just exploded with reiatsu, at the same time his form started to change, contorting into an almost entirely new creature. This doesn't happen often but he actually felt intimidated by Orobas, in fact the only other time had been when he was alive and the only adult he ever respected took him under his wing and taught him how to channel his frustration in order to fight and survive. 

Standing there Jeff witnessed as his new leader moved his arm to grip his own shoulder, with barely any effort his claws dug into his skin ripping away a decent amount of flesh. Impressed that he found someone else who willingly hurt themselves for combat he watched as both Orobas tossed the piece of flesh into the air while his damaged shoulder immediately healed leaving not even a scar behind. Listening as Orobas explained he wouldn't be personally taking Jeff on as he tells of how he isn't sure if the building can handle it if he continues advancing into his Saisei Oni. A room this big and sturdy possibly being unable to handle anymore of his power says how strong he is, or at least how strong he believes he is.

Orobas continues on letting Jeff know that even so his opponent isn't going to be a pushover so he should fight as if his life depended on it, even if he isn't in danger of being "killed". "Well, that's a little saddening, I have no issues with dying, at least as long as I can come back after the fact." Sure he was trying to show off but if it came down to it he was telling the truth, death to him isn't frightening as he knows most things can't keep him dead. Spotting the pod that was created by Orobas's flesh it began to expand which caused it to split and break open dropping some kind of creature to the ground. This creature seemed to struggle standing up almost resembling what once was a human but no longer. Orobas held out his hand pointing at Jeff saying it's time for the trial to begin.

Understanding what this meant Jeff quickly wrapped his right hand and arm up with the chain that hung from the impossible to remove cuff around his wrist. Doing this he ready's his stance to allow for him to react in case the creature was faster than he believed it to be. Thankfully he wasn't burdened by that awful cloak and mask, of which one of Orobas's servants graciously took for him in order to store it until he asked for it back. A smile began to form across his face as he giggled, giving this creature a look with his eye's, eye's that said how excited he was. 

Jeff wasn't afraid of the horror in front of him, no, the only thing he feared at this time was the creatures controller, he understands however this creation is meant to die and so he knows Orobas wouldn't care if Jeff destroyed it. If anything he feels Jeff should be able to finish it off, thus why Jeff attempts the first move. Sending reiatsu through the Gate seal in his soul his feet burst with black fire, this fire remains only on his feet and do not seem to spread. The moment this happens a portal instantly opens in front of Jeff and the moment Jeff takes a step to move through it his speed increases becoming 750 momentarily. Stepping into the portal another portal simultaneously opens as Jeff finishes his step through it causing both portals to close immediately. Using these portals do in fact allow him to travel rather quickly and his choice of stepping into the spot behind the horror proves their usefulness, however, stepping through it felt as if he was walking through fire, burning his flesh even though there was no actual damage. The flames from his feet disappear along with the portals but the sensation of them burning remain, as Jeff knows that feeling will remain for a small duration of time.

After arriving behind the horror Jeff creates a one and a half long short sword in his left hand, pointing it towards the creature before lunging forward to stab it through. Impaling this being Jeff will also lift and bring his chained right arm done to slam into it's head with his full 63 strength, hoping that this finishes the jog he releases his blade forcing it to dissipate. Jeff will stand over the horror, laughing some while watching it, not sure if he killed it or not but soon he will find out.

{Reiatsu}Remaining: 275/375
Pressurived Gravitation Class 7-50
Hell Step-50

SPOILER: Click to show

{Pressurized Gravitation}Learned



Technique Name: Pressurized Gravitation



Class: [All] (Costs 200 TTP to Learn)



Technique Type (Kido, Hollow/Arrancar Technique, Human World Dweller Technique, Other): [General Reiatsu Skill]



Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): [All]



Technique Element: [Reiatsu]



Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect):



Gravitational Pressure is a skill inherent to all beings with power. Regardless of reiatsu strength, spiritual pressure, or stats at all, Gravitational Pressure is caused by a honed, sharpened soul. While Gravitational Pressure is usually out poured violently and over a broad area, with a little bit of practice anyone can learn to compress it. Pressurized Gravitation is a general technique that anyone can learn. This includes Fighter and even Kenpachi type fighters. By compressing Gravitational Pressure, the user simply creates a blade.



Summoned out of the integrity of their soul, a blade forged by Pressurized Gravitation will look different from person to person. However, all blades created by Pressurized Gravitation do not appear to be of solid matter, rather of shimmering energy. The length of the blade is usually consistent with standard swords, however there are variations between users, thus it has a maximum length of four feet from guard to tip. The rest of the appearance is up to the user, and is defined when they Learn this technique. Becoming Proficient in the technique allows the user to be slightly flexible in its creation from use to use, and Mastering the technique allows for other melee weapons such as poles and clubs.



The main power of Pressurized Gravitation is its independence from the reiatsu stats of the user. It simply possesses the class of the user. It will never cut through nor be cut through by a Zanpakutou or similar sealed weapon and will always lose to a released weapon at, above, or one class below it in strength (class 3 Pressurized Gravitation loses to anything at Shikai level or above, etc.) It does not have the cutting power to cut through a released weapon, however, it can defend against releases it is 2 classes superior to. It will also lose to Kidou or other reiatsu techniques of superior class. For defenses such as Hierro or Blut, it is a Class of the Enemy vs Class of the Pressurized Gravitation check rather than a class of the Hierro/Blut check. It needs class superiority to cut through those defenses.



When Learned, one generic blade can be made. When Proficient, the user may choose to personalize their blade, details seen above, or create a second generic blade (chosen on a use by use basis). When Mastered, the user may choose to pick a different weapon type, or create up to four generic blades. As a side note, as these are more reiatsu based than physically based, Pressurized Gravitation does not meet the cutback effect.



How to use technique (How is it activated?): [To activate this technique, the user simply releases their Gravitational Pressure for a moment before compressing it into a more tangible form.



Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)



First, this weapon is weak in combat situations when the enemy is released. Second, it does have a reiatsu cost whereas Gravitational Pressure does not. A class 8 user can use this technique for free, but above that there is a cost. At Class 7, this blade costs 50 reiatsu per post to keep active. For every class above that, add 50 reiatsu per post. At class 0, it costs a hefty 400 reiatsu per post. It also requires a bit of focus for those of just Learned training, and also prevents the user from casting reiatsu techniques or exerting normal Gravitational Pressure while the technique is active. Finally, because Gravitational Pressure is inherently an outpouring of one's spirit, concealing one's presence in any way shape or form is impossible while using Pressurized Gravitation.

{Hell Step}

Technique Name: Unseal: Hell Step



Proficient



Class: 6



Technique Type: Hell Art



Usable By ): Saika



Technique Element: Reiatsu



Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect):

Black flame sprouts from the bottom of the user’s feet, this allows standing in the air (regardless of location as it uses Hell reiatsu) and can be used to open and use Hell portals in order to increase a single step by 15 times the users speed up to 40 feet (a portal opens where the user exits). These portals open immediately and closes instantly after the user enters/exits them.



How to use technique (How is it activated?):

Pouring Reiatsu into the Gate seal of the user’s soul which holds the portion of hell while concentrating on the effect forces Hell Reiatsu into the users feet.



Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)

While using this Technique the feet feel as if they are on fire and this sensation stops two personal posts after use, the user also feel as if they walk through fire every time a Hell portal is opened and stepped through. Every time this is used the amount of posts that can be outside of Hell is reduced by one and if used to stand in the air it reduces the amount of posts outside of Hell by half a post after for each post after initial activation. Must have mastered Merge and Seal. This cost 50 Reiatsu to activate (for poth Hell Portal and standing in air) and 25 Reiatsu for each additional post.



Made By: Some Random Saika



Reserved? (Yes/No) (Can others use your technique, or just your character?): No

[Deleted]

As Jeff's feet lit ablaze, and portals began to open and quickly close, Orobas felt himself growing eager over the situation at hand. Already the Saika was displaying a rather interesting technique, allowing him to seemingly shift through the fabric of space without much consequence at all for that matter. If he were able to, this would've made Orobas smile. Jeff was already far surpassing what Orobas had expected, and he was growing more and more excited over the prospect of having someone like this within the organization.

With Jeff appearing behind the horror that had been conjured up not a minute ago, Orobas observed Jeff via his reiatsu signature as he stabbed through the horror's body with a blade that had been conjured from seemingly nothing, seemingly instantly. He was certainly impressed with the Saika's combative capabilities already. That being said, he knew that he needed to push the Saika to points that he might not have expected to get to. After all, he himself said that he wasn't opposed to dying.

Knowing he was going to take the Saika up on those words, Orobas continued to watch as Jeff slammed his hand through the horror's "head", and caused its physical form to buckle in on itself as it quickly began to decompose into nothing more than a small pile of ash. "Well done there," he said, as he placed his left arm on the right side of his abdomen, once again digging into his flesh and ripping out another chunk, "you've proven you're able to stand against a foe of similar strength. Let's see how you fare against two."

Once again tossing this chunk of skin into the air, it began to take on a similar shape to that of the original birthing pod. Within a matter of seconds, both pods whirred to life, and subsequently spit out another two horrors for Jeff to take on. Both seemed to be rather humanoid in nature, similarly to the one that he had previously fought, but with incredible differences in terms of shape, size, and just overall stature. Similarly to the first, these both resembled fleshy masses of unholy life, as opposed to actual people.

The first one had stood rather tall, at what could've been roughly six feet. In place of legs, a writhing mass of four large tentacles held itself up, as the rest of its form looked to be rather toned out quite well. At a first glance, this would easily look like the more physical of the two. Speaking of the second, it was much smaller than the first, standing at about four feet tall instead, and quickly lowered itself to four legs. It looked much more like that of a mutated dog in this form, and a rather malnourished one at that. All of its limbs were incredibly skinny, as though they would've broken on contact.

A second or two after they had been created, both of these beasts immediately went on the offensive. The bulky one began to charge straight toward Jeff at a speed of --. It was by no means very fast, but what it lacked in speed it would make up for in raw physical strength, as Jeff was likely going to find out. At the same time, the dog beast began to run its way behind Jeff at a rather fast speed of ---, as it seemed to want to find  a better area to strike, as well as pincer Jeff alongside the bulky beast.

Once the bulky beast was upon Jeff, it went straight for a punch to the Saika's jaw, using the beast's chitinous fist as an area of impact. Whether this attack was going to hit or not was significantly up in the air, as it had a far from decent amount of speed backing it. Unfortunately, it was far slower than the dog beast. That being said, while this was going on, the dog beast was making an attempt to grab at Jeff's left leg with its fleshy, bony maw. The goal was to latch on and do what it could in order to prevent Jeff from going much of anywhere, aiding the slower beast in its plan of attack.

Ultimately, whether this offensive was going to work was up to chance. Orobas hadn't wanted to overwhelm the Saika to start, but still wanted to give him a challenge; to see if he could keep up with the pressure of a constant assault. If he could, then he'd continue with the training regiment he'd been taking the time to mentally prepare while this was going on. If not, it didn't hurt to practice these concepts more until the Saika had them down pat. Ultimately though, even though these attacks, Orobas was now showing a killing intent.

{Reiatsu Pool}
Reiatsu Pool: 13,800/15,000

-300 from last post's Birthing Pod.
-200 from last post's Horror summon.
-300 from this post's Birthing Pod.
-400 from both Horror summons this post.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Birthing Pod}Orobas rips off a small portion of his horrific form, and quickly uses 300 reiatsu to reshape it into a pod double the size of a basketball, and has a durability equal to Orobas' OS. This pod is then released out into the air, where it hovers and remains indefinitely, spawning eldritch creatures only seen in nightmares. These creatures act as Orobas' personal army of nigh-indefinitely spawning monstrosities. By spending 50 reiatsu, Orobas can create a Class 8 horror, no larger than a small dog. A Class 8 horror is given 100 SP to divide however Orobas sees fit upon creation between Strength, Speed, Reiatsu Strength, Instinct, and Senses. An additional amount of reiatsu can be added to each of these summons, increasing the Class of the horror spawned by 1 for every additional 50 reiatsu, up to a maximum of Class 2. Every Class above 8 that a horror is created at gives said horror an additional 50 SP to work with for stats. Due to these beings not being of this world, they’re not prone to collapsing from having below-average stats, nor are they locked out of spiritual abilities due to having low spiritual stats. Upon being killed, these horrors immediately dissolve into dust. Only one summon can be created from a Birthing Pod per post, but multiple Birthing Pods can be set up. Though, this cost is prone to quickly add up if too many are created. In Primera Etapa, only one birthing pod can be created per post, and only two horrors can be summoned at any given time.

Once Orobas activates Segunda Etapa, he can consume the horrors he’s created to regain some reiatsu back. By touching a live horror, Orobas can regain the reiatsu spent to create the creature, plus an additional 20 reiatsu per Class of the horror above 8. For this to work, the horror needs to be alive. Second, only one horror can be consumed per post this way. This consumption requires one paragraph per 200 reiatsu absorbed, and should Orobas be interrupted during the consumption process the horror is lost and only half the reiatsu is not gained. Four horrors can now be summoned at any given time.

In Tercera Etapa, Orobas can spend 150 reiatsu to force these horrors to fuse together in an unholy combination of flesh and rot. The fused horror retains the highest class of the horrors fused, and both summons have their SP pools added together, up to a maximum of 1000. This SP is then redistributed, and all injuries previous horrors had are healed. Only two total fusions can occur per post, and a horror must be active for at least one post before it can be fused; once a horror is released from its Birthing Pod, it cannot be fused that post. Once a new horror is created via fusion, it cannot fuse with other horrors for one post. Six horrors can now be summoned at any given time, and two birthing pods can be created per post.

Cuarta Etapa brings about the ability to fuse into specialized horrors for 400 reiatsu. When fusing together three or more Class 2 horrors at one time, the user can create a Class 1 horror. This horror has a predetermined amount of SP, is given a “type”, and cannot be fused with lesser horrors, but it can be fused with other Class 1 horrors of the same type. The available types for these horrors are Attacker, Defender, and Proliferator. All of these types, upon creation, have 1000 SP to spend freely, no matter how much SP the previous horrors had, and can be fused up to Orobas' current total SP. After allocation, each type grants these bonuses; Attacker provides a 50% increase to Reiatsu Strength, Defender provides a 50% bonus to Strength, and Proliferator provides a 50% bonus to Instinct. These increased stats cannot go beyond 75% of Orobas' OS, after type. When two Class 1 horrors of the same type fuse, another Class 1 horror of that same type is created, with these fusions. Horrors of different types cannot be fused. Eight horrors can now be summoned at any given time, and up to two of them can be specialized horrors.

Quinta Etapa allows for the detonation of these horrors. By forcibly pumping reiatsu into these horrors, they can be sent to run into a target, and detonated in a large blast (twenty feet in diameter), mixing flesh and fire. Only Class 1 Attacker type horrors can be detonated, and forcing these horrors to detonate costs 200 reiatsu. This explosion has an OS equal to the average between the horror’s Reiatsu Strength, and anything hit by the blast is afflicted with Eldritch Decay. Ten horrors can now be summoned at any given time, and up to four of them can be specialized horrors.

[Jeff Franklin]

Slamming his chain covered fist through the are he was pretty sure was this things head it quite literally turned to ash and dust in front of him. Well now, that wasn't to hard, I wonder what happens now, this stupid thought went through his mind as he looked up towards Orobas, wanting to punch himself for that thought he watched as Orobas ripped two more pieces of flesh off before creating two more of those pod things. Yup, I should have known better than to think I had it to easy.

They broke open again releasing two more abominations similar to the first, the major difference is this time one resembled more of a half starved dog and the other had four tentacles instead of legs and feet. The one with tentacles clearly looked like the physically stronger of the two, the other one was probably gonna be quick. The larger of the two which was the one with tentacles began to stumble forward very slowly, so slow it felt like forever until it was almost in range to attack. 

Not wanting to waste any more precious reiatsu right now he waits to counter attack the lumbering beast in front of him, or at least that was the original plan. The moment the more humanoid one came within striking range the dog one ran behind him and as expected it was unbelievably fast. Then the plan changed slightly, as the dog bit into his leg the lumbering monster began to raise it's hand preparing to attack. Thankfully it was extremely slow thus giving Jeff plenty of time to deal with the dog.

Although it was fast the thing was very weak, barely even having a grip around his left leg, so to deal with it Jeff lifted his left leg up having his foot about one or so feet off the ground before slamming downwards with his left hand, shoving the "head" of this thing under his foot. When it was under his foot Jeff would slam it down in an attempt to crush it's "head". While doing this he would also drop his body to avoid the oncoming punch aimed at his face knowing if it landed it would probably shatter his jaw. 

If the hound was finished he would turn his full attention on to the horror remaining, the issue was if he could actually kill it quickly without using his Pressurized Gravitation. Hoping that his chain will allow him to finish it off with one blow Jeff will weave his way to be behind the thing and would attempt to remain behind it. Raising his chained right hand he tries to slam it into the back of it's "skull", hoping he hits the softest spot if there is a softer spot, If he succeeds he will move back and wait to see if that finished it, if it didn't he would just rinse and repeat until it was dead.

If the hound was not caught by his foot and was not finished off he would still drop his body to avoid the tentacle leg horror's attack before moving away from it, far enough where he can keep most of his attention on the hound. Doing this he would try to bait the hound to attack the back of his leg again in which case he would immediately fall backwards to sit on the creatures back forcing it to the ground where he would then beat it's head until it turned to ash like the first horror. If this succeeded than he would begin doing what he would have done to the slow creature if his initial stomp had finished the hound earlier. If the hound didn't fall for the bait attempt Jeff would have to wait to see what it does before he can react.

Needless to say, Orobas had half a mind to let Jeff murder these horrors. He was far from opposed to the idea of doing so, and didn't really do anything to stop the carnage that ensued with Jeff capitalizing on the shortcomings of each beast. He was certainly impressed with Jeff's ability to pick out those weaknesses in such a short amount of time (even if they were inherently obvious). Most melee fighters would've rushed head-first in without taking the time to think; he knew seeking out someone like Jeff was a good idea.

That being said, Orobas had a sort of trick up his sleeve, and decided to enact it the moment Jeff had finished bashing in the skull of the beast, Orobas had once again let his reiatsu run freely throughout the surrounding areas as his body began to once again shift and mold into a new shape entirely. As his spiritual pressure had begun to race around the area, he made good on his comment moments ago as the structural integrity of the room they were in began to be threatened as the walls and floor began to crack. 

His form grew a bit taller, now standing at almost 8 feet, as he bulked out a bit; his arms grew wider, more defined, his shoulders broadened out a bit, and the tentacles he used for legs began to thicken. A new set of arms began to burst from underneath of his current set, as he now had six hands to work with instead of just four. A deep chuckle once again rose from Orobas as he shifted himself backward on the mound of tentacles he used for feet. "You've done quite well," he said, holding one of his right hands in front of him, "though your hardest challenge comes forth now."

With him finishing up speaking, the two horrors that had been below Jeff began to shift and contort, as they hadn't been slain yet. They quickly slammed into each other, as their physical shape began to quickly meld together into another absolutely monstrous foreign entity. This beast, as it formed, began to grow to a rather staggering seven feet tall, similarly to how tall Orobas was just a moment ago. This beast looked much more physically imposing than even the one before, as everything about it represented sheer muscle. It had a full set of six limbs, two that were effectively the size of tree trunks, while the other four rested plainly on the beast's abdomen, far skinnier but still closely resembling the normal thickness of a human arm.

Similarly to the humanoid horror from before, this one also possessed the same tentacled mass in place of feet, though instead of four, two were used. These bent like normal legs would have, but in turn didn't resemble legs in the slightest. Chunks of bone and flesh were flayed all across the beast's body, as it truly was something purely out of nightmare. The beast towered over Jeff, and slowly lowered its head to face the Saika once it had finished forming.

In truth, its goal was to wait until Jeff had made a move. It wanted to wait to see what Jeff was going to do; as though it had a mind of its own, and wasn't being commanded by Orobas at the time. In truth, the Akki had decided to exert as little control over this beast as he could, only preventing it from retaliating against its creator. With that in mind, it was effectively free-willed, whether or not that was a bad decision was something that would be shortly found out.

Jeff managed to beat the odds, although it wasn't as hard as it could have been thanks to the fact both horrors only specialized in one area. Thanks to to him being able to capitalize on the ones lack of strength and the others lack of speed he was surprisingly able to beat them with relative ease. Watching their bodies hit the ground grew the grin he had on his face showing how much he enjoyed the act of harming others but with how he acted before it showed he is capable of controlling himself.

The fun didn't end there, as the bodies hit the ground and Jeff turned away from them and looked toward Orobas to see if he had anything to say. He did get some praise as Orobas told him he has done well but then he continued, apparently it wasn't over and in fact the real challenge was about to begin. Not knowing if he was about to do the same thing as earlier by baking those pod things so Jeff stood his ground waiting for Orobas to bring forth his toughest opponent yet. It didn't happen the way Jeff anticipated however as Orobas didn't do the same thing, on the other hand he began to hear something happening behind him and so he turned around to see what it was. 

Looking back at the to creatures show's him something he really wished wasn't happening, the remains from both things didn't become dust this time, instead they began to move to be together at which time they began to merge. Oh crap, that is not going to be fun to deal with, this thought fluttered through his mind as he watched this thing morph after they merged. The finished being that stood in front of him this time resembled the humanoid one with four tentacles, instead of having four tentacles it had two and this time it stood on them as if they were proper legs and feet. I can assume from it's build it probably combined the best aspects of both creatures, which means I am now at a big disadvantage.

The way this thing stood there suggested it could think for itself a lot better than the previous horrors, this of course only meant the situation was even worse than he believed. It stood there as if it was waiting for him to make the first move which definitely bothered Jeff, How am I supposed to beat this thing? Ensuring his right hand was still wrapped properly in his sinners chained he prepared for the hardest fight in his life that he planned on truly winning. Taking a step forward he focuses on where the best place to attack this thing is and after a moment he comes up with an idea.

Knowing that one aspect of his step technique hasn't been revealed yet so he plans on showing it now, moving forward he surges reiatsu into the Gate seal forming a door in front of him that he stepped through boosting his speed up to 750 for that step. The horror might expect him to appear behind it but that is not what happens this time. The second door opens up five feet above the horror as soon as he enters the first allowing him to exit at the same time, looking down at this thing he walks downward to get close enough to smash this thing right at the top of its head. The feeling of walking through fire has disappeared as soon as he completely passed through it, his feet on the other hand are still emitting the black flames giving the sensation of his feet still being on fire, these flames are what is currently keeping Jeff standing in the air facing downward. No matter if his attack lands or not Jeff would retreat ten feet up into the air where he will remain until he comes up with a plan or sees this things reaction.

Hell Step- 50

SPOILER: Click to show

{Hell Step}Technique Name: Unseal: Hell Step



Proficient



Class: 6



Technique Type: Hell Art



Usable By ): Saika



Technique Element: Reiatsu



Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect):

Black flame sprouts from the bottom of the user’s feet, this allows standing in the air (regardless of location as it uses Hell reiatsu) and can be used to open and use Hell portals in order to increase a single step by 15 times the users speed up to 40 feet (a portal opens where the user exits). These portals open immediately and closes instantly after the user enters/exits them.



How to use technique (How is it activated?):

Pouring Reiatsu into the Gate seal of the user’s soul which holds the portion of hell while concentrating on the effect forces Hell Reiatsu into the users feet.



Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)

While using this Technique the feet feel as if they are on fire and this sensation stops two personal posts after use, the user also feel as if they walk through fire every time a Hell portal is opened and stepped through. Every time this is used the amount of posts that can be outside of Hell is reduced by one and if used to stand in the air it reduces the amount of posts outside of Hell by half a post after for each post after initial activation. Must have mastered Merge and Seal. This cost 50 Reiatsu to activate (for poth Hell Portal and standing in air) and 25 Reiatsu for each additional post.



Made By: Some Random Saika



Reserved? (Yes/No) (Can others use your technique, or just your character?): No

As the beast took the hit, its head began to contort around Jeff's hand, as though there was no semblance of bone to be found in it at all. Instead, the beast simply toppled over, and fell to its side. As it did, the same head that had just been hit began to rise from its abdomen, as the rest of the beast's form began to slowly force back up, as though its head became its legs and its waist was now its head once again. Within a matter of seconds, it was standing up perfectly once again, as though relatively unfazed from the attack.

Orobas couldn't help but smirk internally at this. These creations of his were his pride and joy, aside from the hellish army he was propagating. He loved being able to create his own monstrosities; to shape them to fit his own will as best he could, and use them in order to dominate over those that couldn't stand against them. Naturally he had no desire to do this to Jeff, as he was enjoying being able to train the Saika to hopefully continue to grow stronger.

Back to the fight at hand, though, the monstrosity's jaw seemed to open up, revealing a maw of upwards of one hundred razor sharp teeth. Stretching this jaw out to inhuman lengths as the top of its head rotated a full 180 degrees from its lower jaw, the beast let out a horrific shriek that ran through the area. If he hadn't been exposed to similar behavior in the past, this was likely enough to leave even Orobas' blood running cold. The second it finished with this shriek, it closed its mouth, and charged toward Jeff.

Sprinting at full speed, the beast pulled one of its incredibly thick arms back, and sent it rocketing toward the Saika's abdomen at full force. Taking on somewhat self-destructive tendencies, the beast seemed to show no care of tiring itself out or overworking its body; it treated itself like it was expendable. In truth, though, it absolutely was. It was nothing more than a pawn to Orobas, and it'd be forced to treat itself as such. Thus was the life of Orobas' little creations.

Whether or not the attack actually managed to connect, the beast wound back its other arm, and once again followed the same pattern of sending it into where Jeff's torso had been at the time. Whether or not the Saika moved didn't matter, as the beast still looked to strike that same area, potentially leaving it open for some kind of counter-attack should Jeff desire to do so. Unfortunately for Orobas, his creations weren't the brightest with where they were, and would require much more fusions to occur if he wanted to allow that to happen.

The moment Jeff's chained fist collided with the creatures head the most disturbing thing happened, the beast basically turned into what could only be described as meat gelatin as it morphed to Jeff's fist as if it had no bones before toppling over. Jeff would have taken that as victory if it didn't seem so wrong, this feeling would be immediately verified as the horror started to raise back up in the most unnatural way possible. Standing in the air now completely upside down Jeff could only watch in disgust as this thing let out a blood curdling scream while contorting it's face. 

Luckily Jeff was standing to far for this being to hit him, remaining just out of reach, that didn't stop it from trying though as it race forward at it's full speed while bringing it's arm back. When it believed it was within range it shot it's arm forward aiming to smash Jeff in the abdomen with all it's force, Jeff easily moved back and up some to avoid the attack. Looking at this thing Jeff could tell it was going to attack again and by how this thing acted it was probably going to strike at the same area again. Using this to his advantage he creates the one and a half long double bladed short sword again, concentrating on it to ensure it forms correctly before swing promotively at the spot the arm will pass through, hoping to cut it clean through before stepping forward to get close enough to perform another slash this time aimed at the things neck trying to decapitate it.

If everything went according to plan he would land back on the ground after stopping the black flames that were being emitted by his feet, sadly the burning sensation remains and will remain for a little while longer. By this point Jeff is sweating profusely and although not out of breath obviously tired from that battle, allowing the blade to dissipate yet again before falling to a sitting position. This entire time Jeff was focused on the battle one thing he continued to do throughout it all, a wide smile remained on his face, after all he could tell that this time Orobas was definitely aiming to send him back to the spawning pools and that made this fight exciting. If it was truly over he would look at Orobas while holding that wicked smile, "Now that was a battle, but I'm also pretty sure that was no where near your full power, thus I can safely say if we continue on I may just be sent back to the pools, so, the question remains, you up to dismembering me? because I'm ready for it!"

Seemingly effortlessly, the beast that had been built up had been taken down. Orobas crossed their arms. Simply put, they were impressed. "Excellent job there," they said, "you've certainly done quite well. I'm truly rather impressed from your effort thus far. I'm glad to see that no mistakes have been made in considering you as a recruit for our little... family, here. Welcome aboard, Jeff, We're pleased to have you."

"Now that was a battle, but I'm also pretty sure that was no where near your full power, thus I can safely say if we continue on I may just be sent back to the pools, so, the question remains, you up to dismembering me? because I'm ready for it!" These words confused Orobas to say the least, but not necessarily in a bad way. Jeff seemed almost... excited at the thought of being maimed; a masochist of sorts? If they could smile, Orobas would be. Alas, no mouth to do so.

"Interesting," they said, "you seem rather... excited to experience some kind of pain. Perhaps I should oblige?" As they finished speaking, fragments of skin seemed to fold over from their back and contorted in front of them, as though they were being wrapped up in some kind of flesh. Within seconds, Orobas' monstrous visage was quickly replaced with that of an elderly man, though very much human in nature.

Even with that said, the still surging reiatsu emanating from Orobas hadn't died down; they were still in release. They began to approach Jeff. "You've given me quite the opportunity, you know," they said, a tendril sprouting from their back and resting on their shoulder, "I'd love to see just how far I can push not only my body, but someone else's as well. Just to make sure, though, you're on board with this?" As they finished speaking, now inches away from Jeff, the tendril that had rested on their shoulder sharpened out and speared through their hand, causing the Akki to wince in pain.

They held their now pieced hand out in front of them, fully outstretched and facing Jeff. Not a second later, a rather large number of similarly sharpened tendrils burst from Orobas' hand, and looked to pierce through Jeff. Orobas simply smirked back toward Jeff, now holding a humanoid form and being able to do so. “Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt sleep! Crawling queen of iron! Eternally self-destructing doll of mud! Unite! Repulse! Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness! Hado #90: Kurohitsugi!”

As they finished speaking, massive black walls of reiatsu began to enclose the area around Jeff, provided the Saika didn't try to leave it. Within an instant, Jeff would likely be enclosed entirely as the technique actually began to work. Large quantities of reiatsu-based blades forced through the area that Jeff had been standing in, as practically anything living would've likely gone down rather quickly just from the sheer force of the technique alone.

{Evisceration}In Segunda Etapa onwards, Orobas gains more fine-tuned control over their body and can weaponize themselves to a fairly potent extent. For a cost of 150 reiatsu, sharpened tentacles are launched from Orobas' abdomen, impaling anything up to 20 feet ahead of him. Upon reaching their maximum distance, these tentacles withdraw, attempting to pull anything impaled inside of Orobas. This grapple attempt can be resisted and broken out of with a superior Strength, compared to Orobas' OS. On its own, this technique is not very strong, but it scales as new Saisei Oni forms are utilized.

In Tercera Etapa, these tentacles are increased to a range of 40 feet, and their cost is upped to 200 reiatsu if this extra range is used. In addition, these tentacles no longer need to be launched solely from Orobas' chest, but can instead be launched from anywhere on the body.

In Cuarta Etapa, Orobas is now given the option to forgo a multitude of fine-pointed tentacles, and replace them with one large, thick tentacle spike. This spike is 40 feet long, and follows the same grappling system as the standard technique. This spike must always be launched from the chest, but this spike can cause incredibly heavy bleeding resisted by a 2 in Bleeding Tolerance. Using this thick spike costs 250 Reiatsu.

In Quinta Etapa, all of Orobas' tentacle spikes will now inflict the target with Eldritch Decay if they end up pierced.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Blood Magic}Orobas' weapon of choice is a sacrificial dagger of sorts. As such, this is more meant for rituals than for actually attacking. With this dagger, Orobas can injure himself, and spread his blood across his palm. His blood remains there until he decides to cast any kind of Kido. From here, depending on the class of the kido being cast, Orobas can gain a benefit to this kido cast after sacrificing his own life essence. While in Primera Etapa, the first kido of Class 5 or lower can either have its Reiatsu cost halved, or the OS bonus gained from speaking the incantation is doubled (a 10% bonus to OS for the technique is increased to 20% instead). After casting a kido like this, the blood is then burned, causing a slight searing pain to Orobas' hand. For another kido to be cast this way, more blood is required, and this does add up quite quickly. It also takes time to apply blood to the user’s hand, leaving them open. When casting a Kido like this, the incantation must always be spoken aloud, no matter how many points in Mental Incantations the user may have. High-Speed Regeneration is delayed with the injuries caused from this technique; for every Class of kido used, High-Speed Regeneration will not heal that wound for a number of posts equal to half the Class of the kido above 8, rounded up (a Class 7 kido would leave this wound for one post, while a Class 2 kido would leave this wound for 3 posts).

In Segunda Etapa, Kido of Class 4 or lower can be cast this way. In Tercera, this benefit goes for Kido of Class 3 or lower, Cuarta brings this benefit for Kido for Class 2 or lower, and finally Quinta Etapa allows this benefit to affect Kido of Class 1 or lower.

{Kurohitsugi - Incantation bonus doubled via Blood Magic, 2700 RS}Technique Name: Hado #90: Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin)

Class: 2

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects: A brutal spell, this Kido forms a box of black energy around a target, which is then pierced by dozens of energy "spears", lacerating the one inside from head to toe. Its appearance and function is reminiscent of a common magician's trick, as well as certain torture devices used during the Spanish Inquisition. Escape from within is nearly impossible, causing those trapped by it to face certain doom. It is virtually unbreakable from the inside, except by a vastly superior spiritual strength, and with a technique class 2 or above. This is also considered impossible to dodge at point blank range.

How to use technique: Speak the spell and point hand towards the target.

Incantation and Effect: “Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt sleep! Crawling queen of iron! Eternally self-destructing doll of mud! Unite! Repulse! Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness!” With the incantation, this spell gets a 40% increase in Reiatsu Strength (i.e. if Reiatsu Strength is 100, this is treated as 140 with incantation).

[Jeff Franklin]

The words that came from Orobas's mouth next caused his smile to grow just a little bit wider, I sure hope he does Oblige. What Jeff witness next was more surprising than the monstrosities created prior, that was Orobas taking on the appearance of an elderly man. It's not that he didn't believe it possible just surprised that Orobas decided to take that specific appearance. Even looking like that the energy he gave off didn't change one bit, the way the change took place was definitely different though.

Listening to Orabas speak it was clear this Akki was starting to get excited, most would dread this but Jeff was not most, he looked at the figure standing in front of him with absolute glee. "I am absolutely up to see how much power my new mentor and leader can use, at least for seeing first hand what carnage you can leave, I just have to say if this goes like I'm sure it will I shall need some help getting back as I can manage to escape the nasty things around the spawning pools but it does take time, so help to speed up the process would be appreciated." 

The tendril that grew from his back that was resting on the shoulder began to move and sharpen into a point before stabbing right through his hand. Now that both stopped speaking Orobas held his now pierced hand up towards Jeff and smirking with his newly acquired lips. The next thing Jeff hears is some form of incantation, not afraid of the outcome and rather curious for what this was leading to he stood his ground. Was this a mistake would be what normal people would be thinking but not this sadomasochist! 

The second Orobas finished this incantation these massive black walls began to enclose the area Jeff was currently standing in. With no place to go and no way to escape Jeff would have to deal with the entire brunt of Orobas's attack. Black blades formed from the same reiatsu as the walls began to pierce through Jeff's body indiscriminately, not caring if it ended the being trapped inside or extended their suffering by missing essential organs. The amount of pain that Jeff went through was indescribable as he happened to be the latter of the two, the blades missing anything important but causing intense pain every time a blade pierced his flesh. If sound was able to escape this chamber than Orobas would hear the undeniable noise that Jeff was emitting, this noise was not screams full of pain or misery and it wasn't tear filled wailing, no, it was something disturbing, Jeff at this moment was doing nothing but laughing, laughing so hard the only conclusion was that he is enjoying this suffering.

It took a while but the laughter slowly stopped and soon after this chamber of death opened to reveal Jeff's body laying in their, the body began to fade away which more than likely meant Jeff was heading back to the spawning pools where he would come out as if he wasn't just horribly obliterated. One thing that Orabas would have noticed before Jeff's body completely disappeared is the smile that still remained on his now unmoving face, a smile that stated he was happy to be part of this organization. 

[Deleted]

As Orobas finished cleaning up Jeff's body, they couldn't help but smile. Surely this was the start of something new within the organization; surely this mean that the Envainar were going to be getting off of their feet sometime soon, and that this organization was going to actually be something to fear in the future. Only time would tell if that was the case, but that was by no means something that Orobas was going to just let slip under them; no, they'd make sure that everything began to go well.

Reaching a hand out to grasp Jeff's corpse before it finished dissolving, Orobas focused intently into Jeff's now lifeless eyes. "You don't need to worry in the slightest," they said, "I'll make sure to send someone your way immediately after I'm done here. We'll get you back here in top shape. After that, everything will truly begin." From there, they dropped the corpse, and took a deep breath as the Saika's body finished dissolving. Orobas simply smirked, now that they were able to, and walked away.

As they left the training complex, Orobas signaled for one of their underlings to approach. A Hason quickly ran up to them and knelt down. "You called, Sir?" Orobas nodded in response. Their eyes peered into the Hason's very being as their goal was to make the Hason shudder. Needless to say, it was successful. "Yes," they said, "I'd like you to head back to the spawning pits. I'm sure you've been there enough to know where they are, yes?"

The Hason simply gulped. "Oh, please don't tell me I need to send you there and have you find your way back?" These words made the Hason jump almost immediately. "N-no Sir! I know the way, I swear it! What did you want to send me there for?" This made the Akki smile. "I'd like you to retrieve the Saika that I had just brought here. A spar of our had gotten a bit... out of hand. I'd like him back here so that way he knows he's welcome. He answers to Jeff."

The Hason simply nodded vigorously. "Yessir!" he exclaimed, standing back up. Orobas sighed, and once again ripped a chunk of flesh out of their shoulder, forming it into another one of their horrors. This time, the horror appeared as that of a dog, much like one of the first Orobas had originally summoned; they were really starting to like these dogs, perhaps they'd become a staple in time? "Let this little one follow alongside you, just in case. They know that Saika's scent, I'm sure you won't get lost."

The Hason didn't do much more than nod and walk off alongside the dog, which had it's malformed nose to the ground as it began to lead the Hason back to the spawning pits. No doubt they'd have a bit of a journey ahead of them. That said, this gave Orobas plenty of time to prepare. They wanted to make sure Jeff was as welcome as he possibly could've been, even if they were in hell after all. A content and complacent army is a strong army.
