chapter 50: An unexpected reunion, Irene's surprise

After leaving Flare in Brandish's care, Yuujiro and Mikumo were walking through a mountainous area full of huge trees, while on the ground you could see beautiful flowers and sometimes you could see wild animals crossing their path.

A week had already passed and they were still on the continent where the Alvarez empire was, they were touring the places and seeing the landscape that was before their eyes.

Currently they were standing on a cliff watching the beautiful view ahead, below them was a huge river with crystal clear water that one could see the reflection of his face.

The water was so clear that you could clearly see what was at the bottom, the water was transparent, on the sides of that river you could see a green grass with some flowers of different colors.

That river was hidden with huge mountains that had trees with different types of fruit hanging from the branches.

It was already getting dark and now they were looking for a place where they could rest. When they were looking for the place they found the beautiful view in front of them.

"Then we'll spend the night here and then we'll keep moving forward." Mikumo asked admiring the landscape that was below them, she was looking at everything that was there very carefully since it is the first time that she saw such a landscape.

"If this sight is good, we will spend tonight here in this place." Yuujiro answered the question that Mikumo asked him, in addition, he saw the look of Mikumo in his eyes and you could see that she was excited and happy.

The two had already decided that this place was where they would spend the night, while looking at the lake they suddenly saw something strange that was reflected in the water.

It was a red dot that was getting bigger, then they noticed that from above his head there was a light that was getting brighter and when they raised their heads to see what it was.

They saw that a meteorite was falling at high speed, the two were alarmed and prepared for the impact it would cause by crashing into the earth. When the meteorite fell just behind the mountains it caused a huge explosión that lit up the entire sky.

After the meteor fell, the shock wave came that destroyed the mountains of that place and stones and dust filled everything around them.

The meteor that fell suddenly changed the entire landscape there. Yuujiro and Mikumo were protecting themselves from the debris that flew everywhere.

Then when everything calmed down there was silence and then after a while small explosions were heard coming from the place where that meteor had fallen.

Yuujiro, when he saw that meteorite falling at full speed, was first surprised but then formed a barrier to protect himself from the impact it would cause when the huge rock hit the earth.

But after all that commotion passed he could hear small explosions coming from that place, he began to use his Haki observation to see what was happening and when he could perceive what was happening he made a small smile since what he saw it surprised him a little.

Mikumo seeing how Yuujiro was smiling asked him. "What is happening in that place found something that caught his attention."

Yuujiro upon hearing Mikumo replied. "Yes, there are two people in that place who are now fighting and one of those people is the one we were looking for and the reason why we were waiting three months in the empire."

When Mikumo heard what Yuujiro told her, she was slightly surprised. "Then we go to that place, right. Since we now find the person we were looking for we cannot lose sight of them again."

Yuujiro: "Of course we will go there, the other guy with whom he is fighting seems familiar to me and I think that when we get there I will not be able to bear my desire to hit him, so you better prepare to fight too. "

Yuujiro was getting more and more excited, he just wanted to get there and have a battle with the other person Irene was fighting with.

'If my memory serves me right, that guy has 8 dragon slayer tears on his body, he won't mind if I steal one or two of your powers, right? jajajaja

Having said that, Yuujiro and Mikumo headed towards the place where the two people were fighting.

***

In the place where the meteorite fell were two people facing each other looking at each other, the two were at a great distance from each other watching who made the first move and continue the battle.

"That was an impressive attack you have, but that is not enough to defeat me." One of the people who were there said as he made a slightly ridiculous stranger and his body was illuminated with a light that focused him from his head to his feet while looking at the woman in front of him.

He is a light-eyed middle-aged man with medium-length, wavy, orange hair that stands up in the back forming something very similar to very large rabbit ears, has thick eyebrows, and has a scar over his nose. He wears a white shirt with dark touches tied by a belt, on the back he wears a peculiar and distinctive kind of large spiked wheel on the back that resembles a dharma wheel, giving him the superficial resemblance of a divine figure, particularly the deity Buddhist Śakra, this being its greatest feature when it comes to clothing.

He is one of the ten holy magicians of Ishgar, and also known as the strongest magician on the continent 'God Serena'.

While he was doing his bullshit, the woman he was fighting watched him with a serious and disinterested look but attentive to his movements, she slowly opened her mouth and said.

"I just wanted to show you the difference in power between the two of us, you are just an insect compared to me, the moment you dared to fight me, only death awaits you."

Is a woman with a slim and apparently tall complexión, her breasts are large. Her outfit consists mainly of a blouse that starts at her neck and ends just above her navel, it is open in the center, so she leaves a portion of her chest and a smaller part of her abdomen free, it is a color dark and it has decorations of stripes in another light color in the part of the opening, in addition to carrying a kind of hearts on these stripes. The blouse also has a pair of large buttons linked by a chain.

She wears a quite revealing skirt, the upper part is on her hip and has the same stripes and hearts decoration as her blouse, the rest is long in dark color and light stripes on the edges, in addition to exposing both legs like this like much of the hip, it carries the emblem of the empire. She wears a long cape that ties with a bow between her neck and her shoulders and that falls to approximately half of her legs.

She wears what appears to be a pair of thigh-high boots that go down to her thighs being dark in color and a large light stripe across the top. On her head, she wears a giant dark-colored hat and with what appears to be a teddy on the brim, a kind of tubes come out of it that hang behind her.

Her hair is quite long and scarlet, it is so long and wide that her hairstyle consists of four braids tied with bows at the bottom, which are quite wide, two that fall in front of her and two that hang on her back. At the top of her two front braids she wears a kind of hoop that seems to tighten or hold the hairstyle and her bangs are cut semi-straight pointing towards her left eye.

His hands are rather dark colored claws, such as those of a monster. She has a large scar on her abdomen and carries a cane taller than her with engravings that simulate the skin of a leopard.

She is the former queen of dragons and now a member of the Alvares empire, as well as the strongest woman of the 12 spriggan, the emperor's chief guardian, and the leader of her own squad. Irene Belserion, is also the mother of Erza and Yuujiro.

"In Ishgar there are no strong people left with whom I can demonstrate my power, they are just weaklings I end up with a single attack, that's why I decided to come here to look for strong opponents."

"When I first arrived, I found out about the 12 spriggan, they told me they were strong and I thought maybe they could give this god a good battle." The man spoke arrogantly as he looked at Irene.

Irene only saw him with a smile on her lips, she found it funny that that person called herself a god, he does not know how big the world is, just by looking you can find people with different terrifying abilities.

"Well, less talking and more action, I'd like to see if you still have that smile on your face when I defeat you." God said calmly and without waiting for another attack.

[Rengokuryū no Ennetsu Jigoku]

God Serena screamed and huge flames came from his palms directed at Irene who was motionless from her place with a calm look on her face.

Those flames were melting everything in its path, while it advanced with great force towards its objective. The earth burned and the rocks melted, while the trees began to catch fire with just the heat generated by those flames.

The fierce attack soon came in front of Irene, but when it did something strange happened, the fierce flames that were burning and melting everything in its path disappeared, from the center it was as if something had hit it and had discarded those huge flames.

When God Serena saw that he was not scared since he was waiting for something like this to happen, he only prepared for another attack.

[Keiburyū Chikyū no ffin]

God Serena put his hands on the ground and in the place where Irene was standing, huge pieces of earth began to rise around her, wrapping her in a sphere and locking her inside.

[Rengokuryū no Hi no hashira]

God Serena wasted no time and made another attack after locking Irene up. He brought both hands together with his ring fingers pointing forward as a powerful concentrated lazer-shaped flame directed toward the sphere of earth where Irene was trapped.

In the sphere a hole was opened through which the pillar of fire passed, when the fire entered it was like hell itself. Everything inside the sphere was burning while the earth slowly began to melt with the immense heat that had locked inside.

God Serena made a smile thinking that if that attack didn't kill her at least it would hurt her somehow, but then that same smile froze when the earth sphere suddenly exploded into a thousand pieces throwing small rocks in all directions.

Irene was standing in the middle of a mound of earth and only that part where she was standing had not been burned by the flames. Around it was a burned ditch three meters deep, leaving only the ground where it stood intact.

"haha so without any scratch ehh .... well this was not expected, but I'm also glad that a person can finally withstand the attacks of this god." God Serena said that now he seemed more serious when speaking.

"Ah, please believe that those little flames are going to be able to harm me, let me show you the difference in power between the two." Irene said grabbing her staff to start her attack.

God serene seeing how Irene was prepared he also took a more serious posture ready to attack and counter the attack that would be launched ... but ...

As the two people prepared to launch their attacks, they suddenly felt a strange pressure in the air that caused the two people to lean a little due to the strange force they felt.

The two quickly stabilized while sweating a bit as that strange pressure had taken both of them by surprise.

When they wondered what had happened, they suddenly heard a laugh that grew louder, the two looked up at the sky and saw a person who fell at full speed while laughing out loud.

Boom.

The falling man landed in the middle of the two people kicking up dust and shaking the earth where they were.

"hahaha well ... this is unexpected, I did not expect to meet you in these conditions." The man who had landed between the two spoke, but they couldn't see who it was because he was hiding behind the dust in the air.

The dust that was all over the place gradually disappeared and when they both saw who had arrived they had different expressions.

God Serena saw who he was and was not much surprised, he saw the man standing in the middle of the crater he had made while falling while he was with his hands in his pocket.

The man was a strong man with a worked body that showed his bulging muscles with the naked eye Even with his clothes on, his hair was wavy red and long, he had thick black eyebrows sharpened like a sword that gave him a presence intimidating.

The strangest thing that God Serena saw was his eyes, his eyes were like those of a hawk, then he saw that he had two katanas tied around his waist, one white and the other black.

'hmm I feel like I've seen it before, where it was.' God serene after seeing him thought that he had seen him somewhere recently, but if he doesn't remember it then it should not be anything important so he didn't think about it anymore.

While on the other side the woman Irene, having seen Yuujiro's appearance, she had her eyes wide open in surprise to see Yuujiro appear in front of her.

But his surprise was only a few seconds when he regained his posture and calm gaze while keeping his eyes on Yuujiro.

She did not know what to do in this situation, she may be calm and serene on the outside but inside she was in chaos as she did not wait for something like this to happen. She wanted to open her mouth and speak to say a few words, but nothing came out, she could not speak.

Yuujiro standing in the middle of the two first saw God Serena looking at him from a safe distance and making strange poses and then turned his gaze towards the person he was looking for.

He immediately saw the situation Irene was in, just by looking at her face. He saw that she was surprised to see him here, when he realized that he stared at her and said.

"We haven't seen each other for 15 years, this is an emotional reunion, because you don't come and give me a hug hahaha."
