Styles and potential

"Now that you've leveled up I assume you'll be going deeper into the dungeon now right?" She asked changing the subject.

"Nope!" I said with a snicker at the incredulous expression she had at that answer.

"But why not?" she asked confused.

"I like to squeeze every drop of potential and benefit I can from each part of the dungeon I explore before I move on, I simply haven't done so yet for the Great tree labyrinth." I said honestly.

"But aren't those monsters now sorta weak for your current strength?" she asked missing the point.

"Besides the green dragon and variants that sometimes show up down there that's true. However the drops and materials from those floors are especially useful for me. I even discovered a whole new species of monster down there the last time I went so who is to say that I might not discover even more wonderous things there before i'm done with the place?" I said with a widen grin.

"You used that weird magic of yours to find those monsters right?" she asked curiously.

'Hmm, so a normal monster material pushed to ascension gains special properties like a variant monsters drops but more specific to that species as a whole rather than the single individual. Is this why variant drops have special properties? Do they themselves ascend to a higher existence and thus their drops do too?' I pondered this phenomenon curiously.

I experimented further and came to the nasty conclusion that at the moment I could only ascend level one materials. This wasn't because the materials were too strong either but rather it was like my technique itself was resisting the attempt, in other words a bottleneck had reared it's ugly head yet again.-

Admittedly I had been wondering when I'd find another one after I broke the previous one when I fought that minotaur so long ago. From what I understand they weren't exactly uncommon in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen as each user of a cursed technique pushed the limits of their techniques and that meant finding areas that they stalled in until they got some form of enlightenment. The two most common bottlenecks were [Domain expansion] and [Reverse cursed technique]. -

Both were notorious for the difficulty they presented to accomplish with even someone considered a prodigy of that world like Satoru Gojo only figuring out [reverse cursed technique] after coming close enough to death to feel it's chilling breath on his face. Smaller bottlenecks like this one that I had just discovered however should be far more common and easier to get through so long as you kept banging your head against it till something broke. I wasn't going to be doing that just yet though as I had so much more room in other directions that I could improve before I really needed to expand my technique to go further.-

Honestly speaking my cursed technique was one of those bittersweet type deals in that for all it's vast power it actually had TOO much potential. It wasn't nearly as straightforward as my newly minted [Hellfire] cursed technique that was basically just a quirky fire. My [Hell's forge] simply had too many different potential ways that I could expand and improve it because of the sheer vastness of the concept it embodied.
