Welcome back and time to start our hellish training

>>41918473
How was your vacation Som?

You've said your goodbyes, you've mentally prepared yourself as best you could, and you've swallowed any fear lurking in the back of your head, telling you not to do it.

There's no turning back now.

You're in Koe's throneroom once again, occupied only by you and the man himself, who sits on his throne and stares down at you, eating grapes as he mulls over how exactly he wishes to begin your training.

"This is your last opportunity to back out," he tells you. "Once your training begins, you will not be allowed to leave until you have seen it through."

The torches lighting the room dim, and Koe rises from his throne, descending the few stairs to the floor, and slowly approaching. He looks down expectantly, waiting for your answer.

>A. You're not backing down

>B. You changed your mind

>C. Something else

>>41918722
>A. You're not backing down

>>41918722
>A. You're not backing down
as if there's another choice

>>41918620
It was great

>>41918576
Thanks, anon

>>41918722
>A. You're not backing down

>>41918722
>A I'm a dead man if I don't and I'm dead if I do. Either way if this is my path, there is no use running now.

I almost forgot how good the endings for this show were.

>>41918722
>>A. You're not backing down
We are nothing if not stubborn.

>>41918755
"I'm not backing down," you tell him sternly.

Koe nods. "Very well, but I still doubt you understand what you're getting into."

Without another word, Koe turns and leads you across the room, to a doorway to the left of his throne. Passing through it, you find yourself in another narrow corridor. This one, however, splits off into multiple rooms and hallways. Koe ignores these, and follow the corridor to the end, reaching a doorway leading to a stairway descending into darkness.

Koe steps into the shadows, and you cautiously follow, creating a flickering flame in your palm to light the way. At the bottom of the stairs is, surprise surprise, another hallway. Following it as far as possible, you reach a dead end.

All that stands before you is a large, brick wall. Koe touches the middle brick, then the bricks on each corner of the wall before touching the bricks surrounding the center in a clockwise order.

The wall sinks into the ground, and Koe steps into the room beyond. You follow, and find yourself in a dungeon.

Empty cells fill the room, and a rack sits in its center. Luckily, that's not occupied, as you don't know how you'd take watching someone being stretched to death.

"Welcome, Master," a voice purrs in the shadows.

A woman steps into the light. Her skin is a gorgeous shade of purple, and her hair is a beautiful flowing back. She wears simple chainmail armor and holds a whip in her right hand. While mostly human in appearance, a pair of short horns are visible on her head, and her legs end in cloven hooves.

"Good afternoon, Kaoda," Koe greets pleasantly.

>A. Say hello to Kaoda

>B. Ask what's going on

>C. Ask why he has a dungeon

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Stay silent

>F. Something else

>>41919406
>D. Dialogue writein
"Uh, hello there Kaodo, my names John. Koe whats going on and why are we in a dungeon?"

>>41919406
E.Getting some strong S&M vibes. We better just bow and stay quiet. We in the slave train now.

>>41919406
>>E. Stay silent
Let the bossman talk.

Guessing Kaoda is something similar to a satyr or a full on succubus since we haven't noticed the tail yet.

>>41919406
>E. Stay silent

>>41919406
>D
>"Giggity"

>>41919406
>>A. Say hello to Kaoda

>>41919479
You remain silent, not knowing who this demon is or what purpose she serves, though you imagine she's not a particularly friendly individual, at least not to the people who reside in this dungeon.

"Did you bring me company?" Kaoda coos. "I've been so lonely down here without any guests."

Koe smiles. "I know, but he's not here for your entertainment. This human is going to train under me, and that training begins here."

Kaoda tilts her head to the side, looking over at you with a curious expression. "A human? Why would you train one of those? They're so fragile."

She saunters over to you, giving you a thorough examination. "What makes this one so special?"

"He is Koenma's former Spirit Detective," Koe explains. "And he has demonstrated remarkable potential. I believe that, with the proper training, he can be extremely powerful."

"Is that so?" Kaoda asks, her eyes flashing with mischief. "Well, you've done well bringing him to me. Once I'm through with him, he'll be able to withstand any kind of pain."

"I'm certain you're more than capable of following through with your boast, but that is not what I have in mind," Koe explains.

The demon lord walks to one of the cells and opens the door, motioning for you to step inside.

>A. Step inside

>B. Ask what's going on

>C. Something else

>D. Dialogue writein

>>41919871
>>A. Step inside

>>41919871
>>A. Step inside
"When you said I'd be going through hell, I really wasn't expecting a dungeon."

>>41919871
>A. Step inside
"Something tells me I would prefer having Kaya threatening to smack me with her oar once I step inside, oh well"

>>41919871
>A. Step inside

>>41919944
>>41919981
"When you said I'd be going through Hell, I really wasn't expecting a dungeon," you comment, stepping into the cell. "Something tells me I would have preferred having Kaya threatening me with her oar."

Koe smirks as he closes the door to the cell. He turns his palm upward, and it begins to glow red as his Spirit Energy is called to the surface. The light reaches higher above his palm towards the ceiling.

"Command of your Spirit Energy will be necessary to survive this first test," Koe explains. "Now, do as I am doing."

You raise your right hand above your head, and call on your Spirit Energy, pulling it to the surface and allowing it to rise above your palm.

A rumbling causes you to look up, and you see the ceiling slowly descending towards you. Koe locks the cell, and the ceiling continues to lower, only halting when it touches the light you've produced with your hand.

You feel the weight of the ceiling pushing down on you, and focus on keeping it from reaching you.

"Very good," Koe praises. "Now, you're going to stay like this for the next six hours."

>A. No problem

>B. Ask if he's joking

>C. You can't do that

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Stay quiet and focus

"Uh, I've actually changed my mind about this training. I'll just take my chances against Balor as is."

>>41920342
You don't respond, focusing on conserving your energy while also producing enough to keep yourself from being crushed by the ceiling.

"Yes, that's it, focus," Koe tells you. "Failure will mean death."

"It's been a while since we've used that mechanism on anyone," Kaoda comments.

"That's been your choice," Koe reminds her.

"Well, I've never really cared for it," Kaoda tells him. "It's such a quick death."

"Well, then, hope he doesn't die this early into the training," Koe tells her.

The six hours pass by agonizingly slow. Koe leaves after the first few minutes, leaving you alone with Kaoda, who seems to grow bored rather quickly as she watches you struggle.

>A. Ask how long people usually last like this

Bomb her with questions after we get out of the Indiana Jones room

>>41920747
>she has seven vaginas

>only one of them is actually mammalian

>be confused

>>41920702
You remain focused on your task, not letting your attention waver despite the strain this task soon puts on you. By the time six hours has passed, you've collapsed to your knees, become drenched in sweat, and are in considerable pain.

You hear the entrance to the room open again, and Koe enters, slowly approaching the cell and looking at you with approval.

"Well done," he tells you. "You've lasted six hours. Now, push the wall back up."

>A. Ask how the hell he expects you to do that after you've wasted so much of your energy

>B. Push on the wall and try to push it back up

Probably practice our fire magic if we aren't tired and exhausted after this days training, try and reduce the charging from 5 seconds until we can make the fireballs instantly

holy shit you guys are so boring

>>41920946
>B JUST, DO IT!

>>41921105
>Serious training mode of "WE COULD LITERALLY BE KILLED IF WE FUCK UP!" No wasting our energy or focus with banter just yet.

>>41921105
This is a SOM quest. Making a suboptimal choice can be very, very bad.

>>41921156
Banter doesn't waste energy.

You know not what you say.

>>41921207
Is this what fun looks like?

>>41921209
Talking isn't a free action, despite what DBZ may have you believe.

>>41921291
>best example is never cited

>Asura's Wrath is still a grand example of an interactive novel

>>41921291
You seem to be under the impression that we were just fighting, or doing something other than hold something up with one arm for the last six hours. I don't know how you arrived at this conclusion, but you're wrong. Holding something up with one arm is actually exactly what we did, for the last six hours, straight, nothing else. Do you understand that this situation doesn't require us needing a free action to talk? Hell, it could take a standard action or more. As long as it took under six hours we could do it.

>>41920975
You push on the ceiling with all of the energy you can muster, slowly, inch by inch, pushing it back into place and keeping it there.

Exhausted, you fall to the ground as Koe watches from just outside of the cell. Despite seeming pleased, he makes no effort to free you.

"Now, you must escape from the cell," he explains. "Since Kaoda has the keys, and won't be sharing, you'll have to break out through force, or just get creative."

>>41921552
These

Also to be clear, I'd recommend that we avoid detonating the fireballs if we use them. Even if it tires us, we can still refund a portion of what little energy we have left by reabsorbing them.

>>41921448
>>41921448
>E. Something else

Closely examine your surroundings while you catch your breath

also we should use fire to help us see as we investigate

>>41921504
>>41921535
>>41921552
You examine the cell, looking for any sort of structural weakness you can exploit. Your energy is nearly depleted, so you hope to use as little as possible during your escape, especially since you don't know if Koe has anything else in store for you once you're out of the cell.

Creating a small flame for light, you look around until you find a few weak spots, then, focusing, you channel fire into your hands and melt through them, causing the door to fall free and allowing you to escape while using relatively little energy. You absorb what little energy you can back into you, though it doesn't help much.

"Hmm...all of that and you still have a bit of energy left," Koe observes. "Well, we can't have that. I believe one final test will be enough for today. You must now escape this room."

He looks over to Kaoda. "You must try and stop him. Prevent his escape until he's unable to move a muscle, or is flat out unconscious."

"Gladly," Kaoda purrs.

"But that is it," Koe warns, sternly. "You are not allowed to kill him."

"Yes, master," Kaoda says in disappointment as Koe leaves the room.

The entrance shuts behind him, leaving you alone with an eager looking female demon.

>>41922014
Hah

>>41922014
We technically beat Cell the first time in about 4 post. 7 if you count after he regenerated and ran off in fear.

>>41922014
Well we did beat him the first time we ran into him, but Piccolo decided to use the Makankōsappō on his head instead of using the Kamehameha like he did that one time to see if he could do it.

>>41922097
He should have used the two handed Special Beam Cannon, or the Nail Gun.

>>41922097
I just realized that Piccolo knows the Kaio Ken, he can do a Makankōsappō x whatever Kaio he can on enemy's.

>>41921846
You drop into a defensive stance, aware that, in your current state, you won't be able to fend off an assault for too long.

"Well, I never got to introduce myself," you tell the female demon. "I'm John, and, if you don't mind me asking, what is this place?"

The demoness doesn't answer, but holds her whip out to her side, smiling deviously as she looks at you.

"You won't put up much of a fight like this," she comments, loosening her grip on the whip. "No need for me to get my hands dirty with something so boring."

"Live Whip, attack!" she shouts, releasing her weapon.

Rather than falling to the floor, the whip hovers in the air, remaining still before striking with lightning speed, catching you on the cheek drawing blood. It stings, but doesn't do too much damage.

"My whip can do all of the work while I sit back and enjoy," Kaoda tells you before falling back to the other side of the room, leaning against the wall as her whip begins to circle around you.

>G. Something else
Start sensing 110%, every bit helps and if we do grab the whip then set our hands on fire since we don't want to ruin the surprise

we finally get a guarantee of no death, and you guys are as boring as ever

vaelys must consider this his favorite quest

>>41922301
>B. Try to grab the whip when it strikes
Save the fire show when we actually catch the thing, no point in wasting the little energy before hand and having her be wary when our hands

If we catch the whip would it pull us back with it? And if so can we use the momentum to launch ourselves closer to Kaoda catching her off guard

If we can actually get her interested in us, we should lure her into the cell and try using the last of our energy to drop the ceiling. She'll (hopefully) catch it, and then we can leave while she pushes it back up.

Where's the archive?

>>41922376
You wait for the whip to strike again, hoping to catch it when it does. Unfortunately, it's too fast, and you receive a painful gash in your left arm for your efforts. You try again, but end up with similar results.

"That won't work, you fool," Kaoda informs you, giggling to herself. "It's much too fast, and has a mind of its own. It will know that you plan on grabbing it, and will make sure that won't happen."

The whip strikes another three times, hitting your face, your chest, and your right leg, making you hiss in pain and fall to one knee. It slowly hovers around you, striking you in the back, causing you to yell out.

>>41922749

Rush towards Kaoda then dodge since the whip is following close behind, it will probably either stop in time or end up hitting Kaoda by accident. Probably use that opportunity while she is distracted and fire a spirit gun at her

>>41922749
>"If you're going to beat me, you could at least do it faster."

Give up (fake it) after a couple of whips give a real show of it curse as it huts you etc etc then uppercut her shit if she gets close

>>41922702
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=spirit+detective
The ones in January 2014 are not connected to this one, the rest are, but not those.

>>41922886
This, maybe less of an uppercut and more of a pulling our fist and us with it rapidly towards her face with spirit energy. An everyday uppercut might be too slow if we're on the ground.

>>41922941
Tonks

Okay we obviously need to also learn how to do Ice powers so we can debuff I vote we go train in a meat locker or a demon ice room thing

>>41922805
>>41922840
>>41922874
You force yourself to stand, continuing to hiss in pain as you struggle back to your feet. The whip continues to strike, reigniting your pain every second as you stumble forward.

"If you're going to beat me, you could at least do it faster," you tell Kaoda.

"Now where's the fun in that?" she asks with a smile.

Gathering what energy you have left, you break into a sprint, heading right for the demon on the far side of the room. Your plan is a simple one; you'll fake an attack on Kaoda, and let her fall victim to her own weapon by leaping out of the way when the whip strikes.

Unfortunately, your plan doesn't work out. Kaoda briefly expresses surprise, then laughs ad her whip wraps around your legs, binding them together, and forcing you to fall forward. You wince as you hit the ground, and Kaoda shakes her head.

"I don't see why Koe is so impressed with you," she comments, staring down at you in confusion. "Sure, you're stronger than most humans, but if you can't even handle my whip, then you're not going to be of much use."

Gotcha.

>>41923245
You reach down and grab hold of the whip. Squeezing hard, you channel your inner fire and your Spirit Energy into your hands, causing them to burst into flames around the whip.

The weapon begins to squirm wildly as Kaoda's eyes widen in shock.

"What do you think you're doing?!" she screams.

The whip tries to unwrap from your legs, but you hold on tight, not letting it escape as your flames slowly begin to burn it away. Kaoda rushes towards you, kicking you in the face with a cloven hoof and making you see stars. But, still you hold on, and soon burn through the whip, which goes still and falls in pieces at your feet.

"NO!" Kaoda screams as you slowly push yourself back to your feet.

While Kaoda is distracted and raving over her destroyed whip, you take aim with your left hand, channeling Spirit Energy into your finger, and letting the Concentration Ring amplify it.

"SPIRIT GUN!" you shout, firing a powerful blast of your Spirit Energy at the demon.

She looks over just in time to take the blast full-force, being thrown backwards and crashing into the wall behind her. She slumps to the ground as you collapse to your knees, your head swimming as you struggle to stay awake. As you catch your breath, you watch Kaoda rise to her feet.

She's clearly hurt, but mostly, she's pissed. She stomps towards you, kicking you in the face a second time and sending you sprawling on your back. She stomps on your chest, causing you to scream in pain.

Then, she leans down and wraps her hands around your throat.

second'd

>>41924052
When did you get a hand on SOM's notes?

Because I can remember a guy who were Concentrate Spirit Gunned who we could hurt without it.

It's not exactly a be-all end-all technique when used by someone who was already flirting with unconsciousness.

>>41924149
Either way we have no spiritual energy left so fighting back is retarded

>>41924203
And trying to reason with probably the most sadistic demon we have encountered to date, after killing her beloved whip, is also fucking stupid.

Rage easily overrides common sense, whether Koe told her not to kill us or not is irrelevant is she decides we have to die.

Everything is stupid, because this situation is stupid. Now agree to disagree.

>>41924251
Fear of her master probably outranks rage

>>41924343
You'd be very, very surprised.

It could go either way, I don't know.

But don't disregard anything.

I'd rather not bank on maybes.

>>41924363
This is Koe's place, our boss has eyes everywhere in his own domain. Really doubt he isn't watching what is happening right now.

>>41924394
Bruh.

It doesn't matter.

If you get someone angry enough they may try to charge at you from fifty feet away when you have a gun.

They might try to stab you to death in front of the police.

People do crazy shit when they get pissed.

>>41924016
"Now you know why Koe has an interest in me," you squeeze out. "And why he told you not to kill me."

"I don't care what he said," Kaoda growls. "You are going to die!"

"I would have thought that you of all people would have known better than to cross me," a voice booms from nearby.

Kaoda's head snaps towards the entrance to the room, and she quickly scurries off of you, retreating to the far end of the room and staring in pure terror.

"L-Lord Koe, I-" she begins before being cut off and gasping for air.

Koe seems to have materialized out of nowhere, and is holding her up by the throat. Kaoda flails wildly in a vain effort to escape from the grip of her angry master.

"I gave you specific instructions not to kill him," Koe hisses. "You disobeyed me. Give me one good reason not to kill you right now."

"I-I've served you for years!" Kaoda gasps. "I-I-"

"You can be replaced," Koe informs her.

>>41924440
>A. Ask Koe not to kill her

I hope by the end of this 6 months training we might be able to do something similar to Koe's force choke

>>41924570
Uh, pal, he's literally holding her by the throat with his hand.

It's not a "Force choke" so much as him nearly strangling her.

>>41924604
Whoops, read to fast then. Didn't see the whole holding her up the the throat part after materialized out of nowhere. Thought he materialized something to hold her instead of doing it the old fashion way.

>>41924440
>A. Ask Koe not to kill her
She was just doing exactly as we planned anyway.

>>41924646
I bet he could, though.

There is still hope to use the Force, John!

Leave the room. Like our goal is.

>>41924461
>>41924468
"Please don't kill her," you ask Koe. "Most of it was my fault, since I did burn her whip."

Koe looks over at you in surprise and a bit of irritation, not seeming to understand why you're being merciful to a sadistic demon who just tried to murder you in cold blood. His gaze moves back to Kaoda, who continues to flail and struggle to escape.

Sighing, he releases Kaoda, who falls to the ground, gasping for breath. Koe turns away from her and walks towards the entrance again.

"If you try to harm him again, I will kill you," he vows before looking over at you. "Come, you've completed your training for the day. I'll show you to your quarters."

You struggle back to your feet, and weakly stumble towards the entrance. Koe frowns before coming to your side and helping you along. You get the feeling that he won't make a habit of this, but you're grateful for the help at this moment.

You're lead back up the stairs and into one of the many hallways. Eventually you come to a large doorway that Koe pushes open, revealing your room.

It's quite big, possibly as large as your apartment. A massive bed sit against the far wall, while a desk is set up to your left beside a pair of bookshelves. A bathroom and closet are connected to the room, with entrances close to your bed, and there's even a large punching bag hanging from the ceiling.

"I suggest you get some rest," Koe tells you. "We continue your training tomorrow."

"So is there a reason why Kaoda freaked out when I burnt her whip, usually when something like breaking or destroying someones weapon they usually just get mad and not freak out and drop everything in a panic"

>>41924816
Wait I thought it was obvious since it was called the live whip and she freaked the fuck out that it was her friend or some shit?

>>41924857
For all John could know it was just some sort of demon magic that he hasn't encountered yet and has no idea how it works.

>>41924816
"Thank you for the help," you tell him.

"I could not simply let her kill you," Koe replies. "But, do not expect my help again. If you cannot face your training, it will kill you. I already warned you of this."

You nod. "So, is there a reason why Kaoda freaked out about her whip?"

"She's had that weapon for a very long time, and her "Live Whip" technique imbues it with her own Spiritual Energy," Koe explains. "For these reasons, it was a sentimental object to her. That does not excuse her behavior, and, had you not requested otherwise, I would have killed her for her attempt on your life."

Koe turns and heads for the door. "Now, rest. You have a long day tomorrow."

You climb into bed as Koe departs from the room, falling asleep only to be awoken roughly an hour later by a knock at the door.

Is there a peephole on our door?

Dude this a fucking demon castle who the fuck blindly answers the door in the middle of the night?

So either Kaoda is here to thank us.

Or it's time for more training.

>>41925144
Kasai coming by for fire night training.

>>41925144
Kaoda is here with mouth present.

>>41925122
A trainee that doesn't want to get their ass whooped

>>41925177
When has boning a demon ever worked out for anyone?

>>41925177

Fuck that noise.

Her reasoning? We don't need a dick to be alive.

Fucking, demon chicks, man.

>>41925192
When that one chick slept with Raizen in the flashback

>>41925048
You get out of bed and walk to the door, opening it to find Kasai standing in the hallway, holding a brown paper bag.

"Good evening," she greets pleasantly. "Bruce suggested I bring you some food when I came here."

She steps into your room, and you shut the door as she sets the food on your desk. She turns to face you, crossing her arms.

"I've come to continue your training with fire," she informs you. "I understand that you are likely tired from your training with Koe, but we can't afford to slack off on this training, either."

Agree, but say you'll need more food in the future, preferably of the magic healing variety.

>>41925228
>A. Ask if you can eat first
Ask if she'll be coming around often, it'll be great to have somebody else to talk to during these 6 months of hell

>>41925256
Yeah
Why? I don't know

>>41925228
A) gotta regain our strength

"Only if it will get me out of this place alive, i barely got through training today and that was after a good nights sleep"

>>41925228
>people imply Kasai isn't a best

She brought us food.

It's true love.

>>41925228
>D
"I guess it was too much to hope for a booty call"

>>41925293
because she's clearly the best option

>>41925365
She's certainly the hottest

>>41925293
She's our partner
She has basically helped us out a lot in times in battle considering we have each others back
She is training us in fire magic after we asked her
And she likes John and is developing a loyalty towards him

>>41925254
>>41925290
"Can I eat first?" you ask, stomach rumbling.

Kasai looks ready to tell you no, but sighs and nods. "Sure, it's probably best that you don't do this on an empty stomach."

You walk over to the desk and open the paper bag, finding a delicious looking burger and fries inside. You take a seat and offer some to Kasai.

"There's plenty," you tell her. "You want some?"

"No, thank you," Kasai answers politely.

"So, are you going to be coming around often?" you ask, taking a bite of the burger. "It'll be nice to have someone else to talk to."

"Yes, I'll be coming to help you train regularly," she answers. "I'll teach you all I can while Koe does the same. When the time's up, you'll hopefully be strong enough to survive."

You hope she's right, because if all of your training is going to be like it was today, it had better pay off.

>To be continued

This chapter is done, next update should be sometime within the next couple of days.

Follow me @qmdralo to see when new threads are up.

I'll stay here to answer questions/chat for a while

>>41925471
Why is Kasai best girl?

>>41925471
So how did the fight on Kara and Lawrences side go when Balor sent the hit.

>>41925471
Nice. Now firstly Can we make Half hunan half demon babies.

Can we get a write up of the general opinions of us from Koe and demon lady.

Thirdly how are the others doing.

>>41925471
You find it ironic that John gets along better with the demon world than the spirit world, except Kaya, she's cool.

>>41925506
They fended it off, though Kara did most of the work.

>>41925507
I mean, I guess it's possible. Yusuke exists, after all.

Koe: He did better than I'd expected. He just might be able to make it through my training.

Kaoda: Why? Why did that fool tell Koe to spare me? What does mercy get him?

Lucy is more worried about things now, but is happy to know that you're giving it your all.

Bruce is starting his training, and is determined to get strong enough to be a help.

Your father is worried sick, but proud of you.

Kaya is a bit worried about you and Kara having to work together

Kara is giving training everything she has

>>41925538
He's killed a lot of demons. It's really just Koe and Kasai that he's on really good terms with.

>>41925493
Idunno

>>41925471
How bad were johns wounds? I don't wanna come back from training covered in scars. Unless it's a badass looking facial scar.

>>41925493
Anon that's not how you spell Lucy

>>41925583
Can we buy a burger and fries at the joint we went before with Kaya as reunion present when we meet her again on the mission?

>>41925619
That's a nice idea, remind me.

>>41925616
Why Lucy?

>>41925592
You might have a scar or two.

>>41925640
So we are going to come back with scars after this training, nice.

>>41925654
Probably.

>>41925640
So whats Koe's, Kasai, Aalgan, and Kaoda's demon rank?

>>41925698
Koe was confirmed A class, and Kasai is mid C, I believe.

>>41925640
How often does Koe forget that humans need food to continue functioning?
We might be very, very glad for smuggled food eventually.

>>41925723
Well he has grapes that never run out for some reason.

>>41925745
Pretty sure those are just hallucinatory grapes.
You know, a dream of forever grapes.

>>41925773
But, truly, one can be sustained by the dream.

So long as they can bleed.

>>41925698
Koe is S Class

Kasai is Mid C Class

Kaoda is C Class

>>41925723
He knows you need food.

>>41925748
Good luck, anon

>>41925800
Only if you transcend your mortal body, and live on forever in the eternal dreamscape.

>>41925821
Could we train ice by sitting in a meat locker or a demonic ice room thing and letting our spiritual energy merge and explore with the cold?

>>41925821
So that means Balor's boss is either S upper class or SS class if he can easily take on Koe

>>41925821
Does Kasai have any siblings? It would be interesting to find out she does, but their different elemental demons

>>41925821
>He knows you need food.
There's a big difference between 'knowing' and 'remembering in the middle of an intense training session, he still has enough energy to last a few more hours, the wimp'.

>>41925856
You must merge your ki with Balor's soul

>>41925856
Yes, but to train ice, you'd need to give up fire

>>41925869
Making a lot of assumptions

>>41925893
That would be telling

>>41925911
>Yes, but to train ice, you'd need to give up fire
>ThatsBullshitButIBeliveIt.PNG

But anyways what paths are cut off to us now that we spicy jalapeño now?

>>41925981
You can really only master one element. Training in fire, you're giving up ice, lightning, wind, etc.

>>41925981
Probably all of them considering that demon team in the demon tournament that had all the fighters able to use a different element.

>>41925911
>Give up fire
>Not just training to remove heat and control temperature getting both powers in one

It's like you never read Biscuit Hammer, SOM

>>41926026
Team Masho, basically the ninja team

>>41926005
So it's an attunement thing - we're hard capped at 'meh' in non-fire elements unless we give it up?

>>41926055
I didn't.

>>41926127
Yup

>>41926142
What about lava?
Checkmate atheists

>>41926142
There's no way to be a jack-of-all-elements?

>>41926216
I think we'd end up being really shitty with each one

>>41926142
What about spiritual based stuff not only fire elemental?

Also what's the drain on our reserves using fire compared to regular spiritual energy at our current level?

>>41926216
Nope, you have to focus and devote yourself to the mastery of one.

>>41926188
That's superheated rock, so Earth.

>>41926188
I think anything fire related is going to end up being in our control the more the training with Kasai progresses.
So we get to eventual make fire bombs, fire shields and barriers, weapons of fire, get to eat fires to restore our spirit energy, full body fire armor covering us, shape shifting fire, etc.

>>41926248
But we can still make lava by heating the ground eventually when we are strong enough and be able to walk and swim in it if we want when our fire endurance is high enough right?

>>41926304
....why would we ever do that though

>>41926304
>>41926344


>>41926246
Depends on the techniques

>>41926344
Tactics in a fight against enemy's that don't have the endurance to survive high heat. Makes them have less room for them to move, easy escape route when need be, etc...

>>41926386
I'll be blunt, that is a totally shitty tactic

Any nonstandard "elements"?
Entropy, order, poison, life, death, etc?

>>41926360
Why can't we get lightning if we have fire? Also if we had gone for Earth would we had been able to eventually learn Metal manipulation?

Could we master the fist of the mortal flame? I doubt we'd ever get the dragon but mastery of the human worlds fire could be in reach.
