chapter 60: Anima

5 minutes before.

It was a quiet night in the city of lovebirds, people strolled with their family enjoying the night with the different types of attractions that city offered, people were happy and it showed by the atmosphere around.

The breeze of the wind was accompanied by a refreshing scent of the flowers that bloomed at this time of the year, everything in this city gave an air of peaceful and refreshing since they were a somewhat isolated city and rarely came visits from outside.

The inhabitants there were, they were all normal people with no magic in their bodies, there were no magicians and there was no crime of any kind.

Suddenly something happens that throughout the city enters a state of alert when they see that suddenly the huge mountain that was near the city is destroyed, causing small and large pieces of rocks to fly all over the place.

When the mountain falls apart, all the people of the city can see that a huge dragon rises high in the sky, flapping its huge wings, rising higher and higher until it is lost among the clouds that were there, they lost sight of it since the dragon that had climbed upwards was black and since it was night it was not possible to have a good view to follow it with the eyes.

People were surprised since they had seen something incredible, quickly that was the center of conversation for everyone commenting on how they had seen the dragon or if they had seen it, the quiet city was quickly bustling and the topic of conversation was the scene that they had seen only a few seconds ago.

....

Now that quiet city was a mess, the different types of buildings were on fire or smashed to the ground, most of the people had died while the few survivors were crying or screaming for help, either trying to help a person who was under the rocks. or crying over the loss of one.

Yuujiro was in the middle of a huge hole with huge rocks that had fallen on him. His body was damaged with serious injuries.

Acnologia was in the air and quickly begins to descend towards the ground where Yuujiro was.

Yuujiro who was in the middle of the crater feels that Acnologia was approaching and quickly jumps from the bottom and stands in the ruins of the destroyed city. The first thing he saw was the city while listening to the screams of the people who had survived, but he quickly turned his attention to the huge dragon that could be seen in the distance.

'I lost my katanas when I fell, so I will have to fight with my hands' Yuujiro took a quick look around to see if he was lucky to find his katanas that had been lost when he crashed to the ground, but since he didn't find them he left that aside since he didn't have time to look for them.

Stretching a hand forward and with his gravity magic, he began to lift the huge buildings that were around him and began to launch them at Acnologia that came at full speed.

The huge rocks thrown by Yuujiro were easily smashed by Acnologia. Yuujiro began to run through the destroyed city while with his magic he threw the huge pieces of rocks of the buildings.

Acnologia quickly got to where Yuujiro was and tried to crush him with his hands. The strong blow that Acnologia launched made the earth tremble as it finished destroying what was left of the city.

Yuujiro managed to dodge his blow and got behind Acnologia, grabbed his tail with both hands and began to turn his huge body, when he turned it a few times he released it and the huge body of the dragon crashed to the ground destroying it with his huge and heavy body.

Yuujiro ran after him to catch up and as he ran he grabbed a bamboo stick that he had found.

Acnologia stabilized and began to shrink little by little, he was returning to his human form. After returning to his human form again, he emerged from the rubble and looked forward just as Yuujiro was already in front of him.

Yuujiro applied Busoshoku Haki to the bamboo he had collected and when he appeared in front of Acnologia, he swung him with a strong blow to the stomach.

[Oni Take]

Upon receiving such an attack, Acnologia's entire body bent forward as it spat blood and saliva from its mouth, then flew back like a bullet, its body whistling in the wind, then began crashing with countless rocks bouncing off On the floor from time to time, his body grew smaller until it disappeared into the distance and after a few seconds a loud noise could be heard that was when he crashed with something that stopped his body.

Yuujiro puts the bamboo in his mouth and still obscured by the Haki he blows inward when he makes it inflate like a watermelon and fires an explosive shell at Acnologia that was somewhere in the distance.

* Boom *

Within a few seconds a large explosion could be heard in the distance. Yuujiro still with the bamboo in his hand begins to examine it carefully. 'Oh this is great, even a bamboo stick can become deadly if you know how to use it' "... Hm ..." Yuujiro sees that a few drops are starting to fall from the sky and he looks up when he sees that there are some dark clouds that are forming above him.

The dark clouds were slowly starting to form a kind of tornado when lightning and bolts could be heard between them.

After looking for a while at the strange clouds forming in the sky, Yuujiro returned to his own business. "I can still move even if I have my body in shit, I have received many injuries since we started the battle, first let's see the damage that I can identify in my body."

'For starters I have my body with some burns and there is a rich aroma in the air that enters my nostrils of sewn meat ... fracture in the skull, broken nose, I have lost about 4 molars, multiple fractures in my left clavicle, fractures in the fourth and fifth right rib as well as in the seventh left ... and finally I have some damaged internal organs'.

'I have also lost a lot of blood, wounds can heal on their own, well some. But the blood I have lost will not magically return to my body, my sight is a little blurred, I do not know how long I will be able to endure. '

After Yuujiro finished identifying the damage to his body, he started to do something when a kind of smoke started to come out of his body like steam that covered him from head to toe. 'I should try to speed up the healing of my wounds, I don't know what I'm doing, but something tells me to do this .... Bha ... the truth is that I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm just going to follow my instinct'.

Suddenly Yuujiro's feet left the ground as his body slowly began to float in midair, his body was rising higher and higher and was slowly heading towards the storm that was in the sky.

Yuujiro was with his eyes closed and feeling something strange he suddenly opened them looking towards the sky.

'But what is this, something like this is supposed to happen ... I can't move my body ... that storm just now ... don't tell me that is ....'

Yuujiro was rising more and more slowly approaching the strange tornado that was forming in the middle of the storm, he could not move his body, he could not escape ... he was with his eyes wide open since apparently he had realized something he was looking up with a surprised look.

Then he looked down and met Acnologia's gaze looking at him with a serious face on his face.

'Now if my memory does not fail me, this absorbed the place where there was a great concentration of magic, haha ​​well ... we have both been fighting underground and that is why I did not feel them before but since we have already surfaced we have caught your attention. But why Acnologia is not absorbed .... ahhh .... now I remember, the Anima cannot absorb those who use Dragon Slayer Magic '.

'Hahaha damn lucky.' "Hey Acnologia, our battle has to be postponed for another time since some crazy king wants to absorb me, maybe he won't appear around here for a while, I hope you don't do anything funny while I'm not here." Yuujiro started talking to Acnologia since he knew what was going to happen to him.

He was being sucked into the Anima and perhaps now he was heading to Edolas where there was almost no magic. Of course, he was initially surprised since he never imagined that something like this was happening to him. But after a few seconds he calmed down because he could not do anything, his body did not respond to him and he could not move.

Yuujiro gave Acnologia one last look and was then sucked into a kind of hole in the clouds.

...

Acnologia on the ground was looking at that intently and a serious look on his face as he stood with his arms folded, then snorted and transformed into his dragon form and flew off in an unknown direction.

*****

Yuujiro was traveling in a kind of tunnel where around you could see an eternal darkness, you couldn't see anything. It was only lit with few light particles making a spiral path that was in a straight line.

"Mm ..... here my body feels very good, in fact my wounds are healing faster, it will be because of the magic in this tunnel ... I can move my body at will, if I continue in this way I will more likely it will end in Edolas and I don't want that, let's try something. "

Yuujiro could move freely in that tunnel and tried to do something stupid, he closed his fist and struck forward.

First nothing happened, but suddenly right in front of him, the tunnel started to crack, then it broke and another hole appeared to suck up his body.

When he launched the blow another tunnel opened through which his body entered.

When his body went through the tunnel he had made, he looked back and saw that the hole he had passed through closed very quickly.

After Yuujiro saw how the hole through which he had entered closed, he turned his head looking forward, hoping he hadn't done something crazy that he later regretted.

After a few seconds he saw something in the distance, he saw a body heading in his direction.

It was another human being and it was a woman, when the woman was closer, Yuujiro could see her appearance well.

She was a teenager who had short white hair, was injured and barely had her eyes open, when she saw her he could recognize her since she was a person she knew.

The two people crossed paths and looked at each other for a brief moment until the two continued on their way. Yuujiro turned to see her until she disappeared from his sight.

Suddenly there was a strong and dazzling light in front of him that apparently marked the end of the tunnel. The light grew stronger until his body disappeared when he entered that light.

Yuujiro who was with his eyes closed by the powerful light that damaged. After a while he opened his eyes very slowly when he realized that he was falling directly to the ground, he looked everywhere and realized that it was night.

Suddenly a powerful roar like a beast could be heard and he looked down to where there was a strange animal that looked like a monkey but more powerful and bigger, scarier and stronger.

In front of the jumpsuit was a woman who had snow-white hair and could be seen injured. Yuujiro continued descending towards the ground directly towards the head of that animal until finally, it was above him.

*Boom*
