Chapter 74: chapter 74: Battle royal [first death]
Acnologia.
So they called it. He was. He is, the king of all dragons.
He was the one who killed them all leading to their disappearance, extinguishing a whole great race that was made up of thousands of dragons.
His hatred was immense.
With each dragon that he killed his power continued to grow absorbing his energy, he was everyone's nightmare and even more so when at one point of perhaps thousands of deaths, the little human turned into a black dragon with blue markings, his fame and name they gave him the nickname of the dragon of the apocalypse.
In a secluded place that was surrounded by great mountains and lakes, on another side of the continent, stretched a dark cavern that was illuminated by blue crystals illuminating what should be a completely dark cave.
In a corner sat a dark-skinned man with tattoos running all over his body. His eyes were closed and he seemed to be resting. His hands on your legs in a hunchback position with your head down.
The man slowly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
"The presence of a dragon."
A soft murmur escaped his mouth. With a penetrating and expressionless gaze he was observing from a distance for a few seconds.
"Hmph. To think that there were still some hidden ... I'm surprised they didn't come out for revenge sooner, but ... That it made them come out of their hole."
"Well, it doesn't matter ... after all he will soon die and it will all be over."
He got up slowly and made his stiff bones thunder, he slowly beginning to walk to the exit.
He stopped at the entrance of the cave when he could feel the great changes that were happening in the world. "An unknown power has appeared .... it is strong, even from this distance I can tell ... So these two powers are colliding, whoever the dragon's opponent is must be someone strong for a human."
He waved his hand aside the cloak he had on and grinned wildly.
"Hahaha damn, they are having a party without me present ... apparently it is time for a change in the world once again, perhaps now it is the turn of the human race to go extinct!"
He hit the ground hard, leaving a mark on the ground and jumped.
His body began to change until he transformed into a huge dragon, letting out a roar that made him tremble as he took off in the direction in which the energies were colliding.
***
Place of battle.
The small birds along with the animals that were in that place fled desperate, their wild instincts indicated danger, and a very large one.
Gildarts was standing watching, calculating his next move, it was not a good idea to face one of those two.
At first he thought he could win easily if he faced the redhead, but oh boy was he wrong. Because to harm dragon scales that were harder than steel or even harder one has to have dragon slaying magic and the other ... has never heard of another method to do that.
He wondered if perhaps the man also practiced that magic or perhaps he knows a more powerful one that he does not know.
What surprised him a bit was the brutality with which the man beat the dragon, they were not companions, so because they are attacking with everything as if he wanted to kill him.
If it is true, that man said that his little game allowed killing, but those words he had not taken very seriously, but apparently and from what he sees the three madmen were with the intention of killing for real. Maybe he's the fool and fool for not taking words seriously.
He just needs to remember and look at the aura along with the bloodlust that the lady emitted.
He crossed his arms in front of him to try to cover himself from the impact of the dragon falling from the sky, he was trying with all his might to keep his feet glued to the ground so as not to fly backwards.
The few wizard wizards that were in the vicinity, the weaker ones didn't have much luck when the wind blew them flying backwards.
"¿How am I supposed to fight that.?" ~ He wondered, lowered his arms after everything had passed and looked at the two from a distance. "It's clear that if I fight that I won't be able to do anything especially to the dragon, but ..." Unconsciously a smile formed. "If I don't try, I won't know."
It was clear that his instinct as a warrior was already creeping into him. He is a wizard that's for sure, but he's not just any wizard or else he would do what all normal wizards would do and stay in the guild drinking or laughing with his companions every day.
Truth be told, he found that somewhat stupid to put it simply. It was stupid what others did if they were simply satisfied with what they did in their day to day as so-called magicians. That is, drink, sing, have a good time while surrounded by your friends.
Do not misunderstand that, Gildarts was a man who took good care of his own and highly valued friendship. But that kind of normal life wasn't his thing.
That kind of normal life wasn't for him, there was no fun in it.
Instead, he had something else to do and a lot more fun to spend every day doing the same thing over and over again. His purpose as a wizard or rather as a warrior was to travel the world while discovering new places that normal humans did not have access to.
His magic made him a powerful man and that was more than clear to him, and if they talked about how many people could have the same level or even more powerful than him, he could count them on the fingers of his hands.
There were not many powerful people.
Among the few things that the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail liked to do include, travel, see new places, save young ladies from danger, fuck the young ladies he saved, drink, have fun, and most of all he liked their good battles, and then fuck.
"Haha, this man is surprisingly strong, I'll have a chance if I fight him, he will make me feel alive after a long time of being inactive. There is only one way to find out."
At that moment the strongest Magician of Fairy Tail finally stopped restraining himself and playing when in one blow he released all his contained magic to the outside of his body when he began to surround him, his aura was strong and almost reached the sky.
The power of one of the strongest magicians was not to be taken lightly, and with only his magic power he already demonstrated what he was made of.
His body was not visible because it was hidden behind his magic that took on a dark white hue, his eyes shone strangely dangerous while his hair seemed to float upwards. His entire being seemed to transform and now he looked like a giant.
He bent his knees and fixed his target, Yuujiro.
With a boost of his power he applied forces to his legs and leaped. The earth beneath his feet flattened with his magic leaving a large hole where he stood as chunks of earth crushed to dust with his enormous power.
In a blink of incredible speed and agility he appeared in front of Yuujiro.
....
"What's up giant lizard, I must say you endured a lot without exploding, congratulations." ~ Yuujiro was standing on the head of the dragon that was half buried in the ground in the middle of a large hole. "I felt your hatred from the beginning, from your gut and with your whole being, I could feel every second your gaze glued to my back as if wanting to find something, perhaps something like an oversight on my part."
Waving his hand dismissively, he said. "Anyway that doesn't matter anymore, you were the useless one who didn't know how to take advantage of all the opportunities I gave you, even if I was distracted you didn't do anything to hurt me or the shit you were planning to do, so, since you weren't attacking then I would make you do it with this little game. "
Yuujiro was silent for a few moments waiting for the dragon to move at his provocation.
While waiting, he suddenly felt a great magic power nearby, he was curious as he looked towards the direction of the source of that energy, there he saw Gildarts.
"Hmph, so our little demonstration made him come to his senses to make him serious ... but it's a shame you're still not taking it seriously this situation entails. Does he understand the meaning of a fight to the death.?.... Is he an idiot? "~ Yuujiro sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
He felt Gildarts's emotions and could still see some doubt within him, then he looked a few feet behind where Gildarts was standing and saw the hidden animal that was stalking its prey.
He closed his eyes for a few moments and a strong breeze came right in front of him, he smiled placidly in an excited way and opened his eyes just in time when he saw Gildarts in front of him.
In a fraction of seconds he stretched his left arm back imitating Gildarts who was with his right arm preparing a blow.
Yuujiro covered her arm with haki turning it black, while Gildarts gathered her Crash magic in her hand and then with all the strength she could muster she launched her blow.
The two of them threw their punch at the same time.
Bomm.
A loud impact echoed through the air.
His blows caused a strong visible dome-shaped shock wave that spread from the center of his fists and continued to spread out for several hundred meters around him.
Yuujiro smiled more at the situation, he had really felt that blow, just a little.
Exerting a little more force in his fist and under Gildarts' stunned gaze, he saw his own fist begin to give way to the great strength of the redhead when his own fist was suddenly shattered.
Gildarts' fist bones broke, then he followed his arm until it was strangely deformed. He didn't have time to think about the pain as Yuujiro's fist kept going straight until it hit Gildarts' face.
His teeth flew out as he spat blood, his skull cracked as his face sank under Yuujiro's mighty fist.
He wasn't up for the game, and he always took everything he said seriously when I talk about the battle to the death, so now he didn't hold back and just hit hard.
With a grunt of pain escaping his mouth, Gildarts flew back to where he had been a few minutes ago.
However, little did he know that someone was already where he had been recently waiting for him preparing to cut him.
Retsu had been quietly hiding behind the trees waiting for the opportunity to cut down on the annoying wizard who always eluded her attacks.
When she finally saw her turn to attack, she came out of hiding and waited patiently for the arrival of Gildarts who was flying directly towards her. With her katana in hand with her always deranged and crazy smile she made a vertical cut.
Her katana started slicing from Gildarts' head that was flipping in the air, the steel of the katana sliced through her skull, then sliced through her spine including the internal organs to finally sever her sacrum and cut coccyx, and Gildarts died cut in two.
The two cut halves passed by Retsu who was half crouching with his arms outstretched with his katana gripped firmly with both hands.
She was looking at the ground and his long dark hair covered a large part of his face hiding much of his smile. She felt satisfied and very happy because she was finally able to cut and end the life of the insect that she had decided to kill. Her last attempts were useless because the insect would not stop moving.
Yuujiro still perched on Drakon's head looked at Gildarts' death with disinterest written on her expressionless face.
"Well ... his death was inevitable and it was his fault for not taking my words seriously. The idiot until the last second of his last attack did not take our fight seriously. Although I temporarily agree to be in his own guild. I don't share the same rules. "
I am not like them, I do not gain imaginary power through friendship and holding hands as good friends. His beliefs and principles only led to a horrible death by an unknown person whose name he did not even know, in a far and away place from his home and far from his friends and family, the strongest wizard of Fairy Tail Gildarts Clive, died.
Looking one last time at the two split halves of the wizard, Yuujiro engraved those images well in his mind for future use.
Retsu got up and looked into the distance in Yuujiro's direction with an ecstatic and happy smile, she waved her katana to clean the blood of the insect, she was standing calmly and without problems even being surrounded by organs and human blood around her.
Unbelievably, the blood hadn't splattered her clothes and she was still flawless.
She glimpsed how Yuujiro was concentrating on the dragon again and ran towards him when he stepped on the ground and leapt to catch up with him.
Feeling a slight tremor from the ground Yuujiro genuinely smiled and rose slightly to give Drakon time when he suddenly felt a familiar itch, he turned around looking back and saw Retsu in midair above him. She was holding her katana infused with black magic and waved it in a great slashing attack.
Suddenly he felt another great movement from below when Drakon with a speed that he should not have if we take into account his large size turned on the ground and was now on he's back carrying a roar that he let out when he gathered energy.
The entire sky lit up and it was as if two great powers were about to collide, as the black and white attack could be seen from different distances hundreds of meters around.
Many wizards were already aware that something big was happening because they all witnessed the moment when the sky lit up.
Yuujiro was in the sky standing in the middle of the two attacks that were approaching threatening to hit him, any normal person who had the misfortune to be in his position would not withstand the power of two great figures and his entire being would be burned to ashes or perhaps also cut in two, and then calcined.
Crossing both arms in front of his chest he covered his fists with semitransparent energies and just as the two attack was close to him, Yuujiro stretched out both arms at the same time hitting the air beside him.
There was a muffled sound, and surprisingly the two fierce attacks stopped a few meters in front of each other with Yuujiro in between.
It started from the center of the blow when slowly the air around it began to crack with cracks as the air itself was breaking.
The cracks spread in all directions until finally the sound of broken mirrors could be heard.
There was a silence, and then the world collapsed.
It happened from one moment to the next when the large-scale attacks that were in the sky were reduced to mere specks of energy that were blown away by the wind. Then there was a seismic movement that shook the earth as huge chunks of earth began to rise from the ground.
Huge mounds of earth slowly rose from the bottom of the earth as a great earthquake shook the world.
***
That place was something that could not be described with a few words, in fact there were not even words to describe the magnificent kingdom where the fairies of legends lived.
The little that I know about them until the present time and according to the descriptions of ancient books is that they were part of the earth a long time ago and that they lived in peace and harmony with humans.
The legends said that they had a certain link with life itself and that their power was so enormous that it could not be calculated.
Her power was something coveted by people from all sides, since according to those lucky ones who by simple luck managed to obtain one of them, it was that they had the power to grant the biggest dreams, no matter which ones, no matter how bigThey with their magic could make them come true.
For that simple fact, for a few words is that they began to be captured and enslaved to fulfill the most morbid and dark desires of humans.
On the same day that they began to see them as mere objects, it was the same day that she finally saw the true colors of those people who until recently called themselves her friends and families.
Disgust, disgust, disgusting, aversion, hatred, hostility. Everything they felt from deep inside had the same meaning, disgust towards humans.
Like a rose that slowly blossomed when the rays of the sun reached it, another kind of emotion was blooming for them that they had never felt before. However, in her case, those kinds of emotions were growing day by day at an alarming rate.
....
Thousands of meters above the clouds, a huge piece of land could be seen floating
An island.
It was a huge and beautiful palace never seen before, everything it had made it look divine as if it were the home of the gods themselves.
The aura that exuded and that flowed from its interior had an incredible change towards the things that decorated it around it, the plants, insects, the grass, the trees and their fruits were something that could only be found in this kingdom that was the fairy realm that was thousands of miles in the sky.
Fairies had a dark past with humans and that is why they now considered them almost sworn enemies, natural enemies.
In the middle of this majestic and beautiful place there is a lake with crystal clear water. The lake was surrounded by beautiful fields of flowers of different colors like those of a rainbow, the animals existed coexisting with each other.
In that place something never seen before was taking place, when hundreds, if not thousands of small specks of lights were gathered.
However, the identity of those lights that were like spheres of energies were nothing more than the fairies of the legends.
They were small and beautiful, their beauty could not be described with simple words, it must be added that because of their beautiful appearance plus their innocence they added a sweet charm that was the main reason for their hunt.
They did not need clothes because their entire population were women, and they also did not need them at all because the light that surrounded her body made her like a thin blanket of energy making her little woman parts not visible.
In the fairy kingdom the night did not exist and for that reason the place was always well lit as the day, a special power made that possible, or rather, someone made it possible. Thanks to the king and queen of the fairies everything was possible with their great power.
At this moment each and every one of the fairies was present surrounding the lake where they would welcome the two beings who guarded the safety of their kingdom.
It was slow and steady, the ripples appeared from the center of the lake, that was a clear sign that the two people who inhabited it and rested at the bottom were about to emerge after long years of rest.
The little fairies became excited and expectantly awaited his appearance.
None of them made a noise, that would be disrespectful. Although if you heard gasps and murmurs of more than one.
Two brightly glowing medium-sized specks of lights emerged from the lake.
They floated in the air majestically.
Inside the lights you could see two figures, a man and a woman.
The main characteristic of the two people is that they had an enormous beauty, they were so beautiful that any normal person who saw them would be petrified and speechless.
They were both with their eyes closed with their hands clasped over their chest.
Slowly the two of them at the same time opened their eyes to the world for the first time after their long sleep of many years.
The queen of fairies. Titania.
The king of fairies. Oberon.
They both woke up when they felt the great commotion of the world.
