Chap 186: Gojo, meet my wife Toji.
Walking through the street, Gojo was literally bunny-skipping while humming a tune until her phone in the back pocket rang.
*Ring* *Ring*
"Yo, Geto, was'gud my Sorcererss~"
"Gojo, I have bad news." *Cough* Her tone was urgent, Gojo never heard that kind of tone from her.
"Oh, word ? Spill."
"Remember Takumi's wife ? She's coming after us."
"I knew that bitch was a damn lesbo."
"GOJO!"
"Yeah, yeah, just trying to lighten the mood. *sheesh* and wat bout u girl ? U gud ?"
"*cough* *cough* only a few cuts and this *Ugh* damn fucking headache." She can tell Geto was doing worse for wear on the other side of the line. "She just came at me *Pause* and spewed some nonsense about my place. What's that bitch deal?"
"I can take a guess."
"Hey, you better be careful, she might be closer than you thought."
*ZOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM* *Shchiwss* *spurt*
"...."
"...."
"Gojo ? Gojo ? What happened? I heard a crash."
"Ye, imma call u back gng." *BEEEP* Hanging up the phone, Gojo takes a deep breath, her body lying on the broken water fountain.
The random civilian saw the commotion did not stay for long, they all fled as soon as Tojiko showed up.
Who was sitting not so far from her.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and chuckled softly. Her face wore a conceited smile. Speaking with a self-satisfied tone.
"Hello, you must be that breadwinner blond ass, Gojo." She emphasized saying that last word.
"Glad to see you know my name, did your husband say it often in bed ?" Gojo's body slowly rose on its own. "And you must be that broke ass bitch who has the salary of a bum teacher."
“Not even a warning?” She chuckled, "real jealous, I see." She spoke so casually when there's a knife jutted from her liver, buried to the hilt. Red energy colored her wound with black veins, darker than night.
'Poison?' Playing her poker face, Gojo's mind roared into overdrive, running through potential options in an instant.
Toji charged in, not caring for her defense, a blade in hand.
*swish*
The inverted spear of heaven tore through the bubble that is her Infinity. Though Gojo smirked, she half expected that this woman come prepared with a method to pierce her technique.
And while she was fast, so was Gojo. The trajectory of her blade was so obvious, Gojo blocked the super-speed stabbing by Toji's wrist.
"Any other moves ?"
"I got the waltz, salsa and tap. Which one you want?"
She dodged a leg sweep that followed with a morning star swung at her head. Making Gojo float and stick her legs to a building.
Despite their joking mannerism, both girls were completely serious.
"I choose [Max Blue]." Both hands outstretched, Gojo took off, as fast as Toji was, she knew that woman couldn't fly.
So all she needed to do was get out of range and put her out with a big shot.
The gravity shifted, Gojo had made her attack big and telegraphed on purpose to fool that black-haired monkey.
The ground shook, the very earth began to quake then rolled up like a ball of yarn as the pulling force from Gojo's technique unveiled. With Toji at the center.
Brightness hit the night city like a sunrise.
"H-how?"
Through the dust, Tojiko appeared, not like before. Now she had clad herself in a big mechanized suit.
Big, bulky wouldn't be a good description of it, more like an extension. Big armored extension of her body.
Black plates covering her shoulders and abs, connecting to even bigger machinery arms and legs. Starting from her elbows and thighs, these are huge, mechanical parts forged from thick steel.
A mechanized spine planted behind her, protected by two thruster units and more plating that floats than sticks to her body like armor. From behind her head, sitting just above it, is a circle made into a sharp-pointed star, glowing brightly.
At the center, Tojiko, wearing a tight skin suit, clung to her body in a way that not only showed how powerful and sexy she looked.
Fabric around her breasts became stretched out as they struggled to contain her massive mounds. Her back muscles and the eight-pack abs she now sported flexed hard and appeared even more pronounced.
The moment her heels hit the ground, the concrete beneath her feet heavily cracked around the point of impact.
"Well, if you must ask." She tilted her head, "I don't know too much either, except that my husband cooked up some otherworldly item and combined it into this." Her hand gesture to herself from top to bottom.
"And let's see if I can recall the names, uhh, see, ah right, my [Infinite Stratos] as he calls it." Tojiko explained, "It feels like he's around body at all times, you know."
"No, I don't think I know." Her hands were brought up in an instant.
*WHIZZZZ* *BOOOOOMMMMMM*
Gojo shot a max Blue at her, but nothing happened. The suit didn't get damaged, or the ground, or anything around. She saw with her own eyes how her ball of gravity-induced mass got evaporated out of the air.
The iron halo glowed even a brighter light than before. Tojiko in her suit, not showing any worry or care about things.
'This....' No, she just needed to calm herself. A battle is not decided by strength alone.
"What's the matter, first wife? Did he not pack a weapon for you or is your only weapon that foul mouth?" She commented, Gojo still has all the advantage.
So what if Toji can defend her attack? She knows her trump card, and that weapon won't work at long range. So Tojiko had to get close but there is no possible path for that.
From one of the compartments in Toji's hip, it opens to the face of the worm. She grabbed hold of a handle in its mouth, out came a sword Gojo could not have understand.
It looked normal, like a medieval sword anyone could have even to a sorcerer's eye, only her Six Eyes could tell.
The blade of Skull Knight from Berserk.
It had eyes, mouths, faces that aren't human. Arranged in a way that deceptively made you wanna claw your own eyes out.
Such a weapon, the raw energy it has made Gojo falter in her steps unconsciously. The danger it posed was real, her six eyes told her she'd die if this thing can touch her.
Initiating the fight, Toji flew up, her hands wrapped around the blade handle. In a simple swing, she cut through the dimension they were in.
Gojo was in shock, she couldn't react fast enough. Toji's hand cocked far back as she brought down an aggressive swing.
*Spurts* "Argh!" Right in between Gojo's boobs, a gaping gash that was spewing river of blood.
Toji flew in for another cut of her flesh, eyes widened, Gojo had to pull her head as hard as she can to avoid being slashed. The many-eyed blade stared at her soul as it came close by, slicing off the top of the tower behind her.
"Hey, I thought you were here for a spar, not kill me?" She tried her best at being cool, on the inside that was easily the closest Gojo had ever been to being killed.
"Trust me kid, this is one," She flew so fast, leaving a mirror of her body behind. "Can't be an equal fight if I can't give you a few knicks, right ?"
Jet engines roar in the night sky, leaving a trail of fire when she chases the blue-eyed teen.
The two dash across the clouds, breaking the sound barrier while clashing against each other, trading blows that cause shockwaves all over the sky. People down below thought there was a thunderstorm happening soon.
*BOOM*
A The second sphere of max blue struck the tower. But Toji was nowhere near it
Tojiko swooped in and out, dealing small damage to a puzzled Gojo. It was hard to catch or predict her movement. The slashes began to take a toll on Gojo, her eyes tiring out fast.
When it came to melee, Gojo converged her technique to form around her fist, resulting in a glowing blue boxing glove with the capability to warp the atoms if she touched Toji. If being the key word.
Her fist met the sword, the reality bending by the middle of their weapons clash and distorting space even greater.
Rapidly shooting out max blue, Gojo was frustrated to find that damn halo neglecting her attacks, and the sword of Beherit cutting through space like butter, not to mention that suit Toji wears is keeping up speed with her
*Swhiiss* *Slash*
Her body only got cut intentionally in the non-dangerous bleeding spots. Curse energy depleting in a hurry to outpace Tojiko.
The mad woman was able to hit from every angle, behind, below and from above. With her own defense brought to uselessness, she disabled Infinity to save her energy for attacks and mobility.
'Focus, Gojo, focus.' Gojo had to intentionally slow her thought process down. 'Remember what he taught you.'
She feigned a hurt look, something that could draw the other chick in. One perfect moment, Gojo had to aim for that.
Out of the corner of her eyes, Toji launched at her with a burst.
Then.
"Domain Expansion."
A black sphere barrier, trapping her inside.
Or at least, that is what should've happened.
Instead, the two only caught themself midway through their action.
Gojo was in her handsign and Toji had the sword pressed ever so close to the blond heart.
Danger rang in their head, but it wasn't danger toward themself.
""Takumi.""
