Another Stupid Isekai

Have you ever found yourself in a situation when something went so well for you, that it was actually bad? I did. It happened when I approached the tower which I picked as my target. I landed in front of it.

The buzzing sound was so loud, I had problems hearing my own thoughts. All the hair on my body was standing, and the air smelled funny.

I took a few steps towards the entrance, but I didn't even get close to it when it opened. Inside were two ghosts. Both had dark blue robes, and some jewelry on their wrists. It looked like it was made out of iron, and quite heavy. One of them had a crown of the same material fuzed to his skull. there was also a blue gemstone embedded in his forehead, pulsing with swirling energy.

Behind him, a chain of seven balls of solid metal was levitating, connected with electricity constantly flowing between all of them.

The other one didn't look this fancy. He didn't have a crown, but something was on his forehead. It looked like some trinket or symbol was fuzed there with the bone itself, poking out through the thin skin. A circle with something like an hourglass in the middle.

He had a big scepter in his hand, that was constantly surging with electricity.

I didn't even get to say 'Hi' before they attacked me. A barege of lightning bolts fell from the sky, forcing me to evacuate. I shadow walked a few times before unleashing my power, calling upon the void. My veins got filled with the black essence, transforming my body into its dark form.

The whole vicinity exploded with dark smoke, swirling and moving according to the wind that one couldn't even feel, and the horizon got blocked by the massive walls of darkness, which surrounded a big chunk of that place.

I immediately switched my movement from gaining the distance, as I dodged the strikes, which were smashing into the ground everywhere around me with loud sounds of thunder, to cutting it. I got close enough to strike, and after appearing in front of the guy with the crown, I punched him in her torso from below.

The blast was so powerful that his body got yanked through several floors up the tower, also sending his companion away from me because of the air pressure made by my fist.

Then I jumped out of the entrance. Using 'Telekinesis' I grabbed most of the base of the tower, then tore it apart. With loud noises coming from everywhere, the walls which I didn't affect, became shattering under the pressure of the construction above, and the whole tower started to collapse. It was clear to fall with all its length towards my position, so I flew away, escaping being buried alive under tons and tons of rubble.

Since I had good experience fighting those guys, I suspected it wouldn't be enough to kill them, so I created some nice distance between their suspected positions and mine, then waited. I kept my eyes on everything unusual while witnessing the collapse of an incredibly big construction.

The noise was defining, and even staying very far away, the shockwave of the impact reached me. It hit me like a strong wind, but that was all.

I was able to witness the power of the fruit I consumed. I was definitely stronger. Before a punch like that would never be enough to send a ghost through several floors, not to mention the fact that I landed it in the first place. This indicated that I got faster too.

As those thoughts went through my mind something very unexpected happened. The ruins exploded, spraying the debris everywhere, and a monster made out of electricity was born. Like an octopus, swinging its tentacle. Whatever-it-was was definitely angry, maybe fueled by the ghost's feelings, if they were even capable of them, or it was just the normal state of that thing.

It could also be that it wasn't really alive, but it looked like it was.

While the two tried to look for me, I decided to attack first. I wasn't really sure what attack I should perform, so I decided to just get physical. I pulled my pudao from the fault, then paved a path for myself in the middle of the air, created with the plates made out of void essence, then used it to charge at full speed.

Almost instant;y the barrier of sound was breached, and I went much faster than that, going supersonic. It was a split second when I arrived in front of both of them, swinging my weapon. It smashed into a barrier, which they both created to defend themselves, and it went through, shattering that magic. Two explosions shook the vicinity, seemingly at the same time. One was attacking, and the other was the delayed sound made, also by me, while I rushed to attack.

I almost got them both with that one swing, but they raised the electricity even higher. Originally I got hit by it, but I just pushed through, but when they unleashed their magic, it pushed me back, forcing my muscles to spasm, so I had no other choice but to shadow walk out.

I lost only a little bit of the tempo, which I quickly got back by shadow walking a few times more, before I decided to do kinda the obvious, throw my weapon.

Maybe my body was affected by the electric magic, but the projectile wouldn't be. I picked an angle first, making them look around like mad, as they tried to keep track of me to land their own assault, but I kept them at by utilizing tremendous speed, and then, as I appeared in the correct spot, I ranked the pudao at one of them.

The sound was weird, delicate even, but then the kinetic wave git me, just as I saw the blade sinking through the chest of the ghost, who wasn't even able to protect himself in any way from the attack.

With a smile on my face, I shadow walked once more, to avoid the retribution.

"One down. One more to go", I thought to myself.
