Chapter 55 (1/2)
”Acnologia...”
Shin's anger could be seen and felt through the manifestation of the Phoenix behind him.
Shin's magic power was unleashed and violently came into contact with Acnologia's who looked at him without fear but rather with anger.
When their magic power came into contact, Shin felt that there was a difference in power between the two.
'So it's as I thought...'
'State'
[Name: Acnologia
Race : Dragon
Total Power: AAA (high)]
[Name : Shin Ai
Race : Phoenix God
He's stronger than me but he won't be able to kill me' thought Shin.
Shin had the advantage of more experience, better weapon handling and better techniques that could fill the power gap.
”Look!”
”It's the king!”
”He's come to save us!”
In the city, the citizens despaired with renewed colour and hope upon seeing Shin.
Even the dragons had done so and roared with happiness but also with ferocity.
Seeing the king standing in front of Acnologia had given them a confidence boost.
This pride did not go unnoticed by Acnologia who looked at the dragons with contempt and hatred without giving any attention to the humans, they were just insects and collateral damage in her eyes.
”Wretched dragons” Acnologia spoke in a deep, gravelly voice giving off a macabre aural hatred.
*SWOOSH*
Shifting his gaze to the dragons, he swung his tail with force, slicing through the air and forming a blade of wind that cut through all the buildings in its path and even sliced through the ground, creating a ravine in its path.
The dragons paled at this simple attack but did not back down and all spat a breath at the wind blade but it had no effect.
Just as it was about to slice all the dragons in half, the wind blade was interrupted by the collision with another wind blade coming from the side.
The collision of the two made the two wind blades disappear.
Acnologia turned his gaze to Shin to see him with his hand in the air showing that he had swung his arm with force to produce a windblade.
”Don't take it out on them, I'm here for you,” Shin declared in a cold voice.
”You... You must be that Phoenix” Acnologia replied in his deep voice.
”Don't get in my way and I will kill you...”
”Tell me about it”.
Shin tucked in his wings, and as soon as he started to walk, he disappeared from his spot.
He came up behind Acnologia and swung his leg back covered in wind magic.
And when he was about to hit him, his cheeks puffed out and he let out a blast of fire.
*BAM*
*BOOM*
As a result of the kick, Acnologia was thrown, but in mid-air, he was ȧssaulted by a powerful blast of fire that threw him even harder against the high walls of the kingdom.
*BOOM*
Shin looked towards Acnologia and as the dust settled, he saw that where he had hit, Acnologia's scales seemed to have a slight crack with small burns around them.
Shin had used wind magic which was meant to break the scales with their more penetrating attribute and follow up the hit with flames to clean up a powerful blow in a more delicate area.
Seeing that Acnologia didn't seem to be moving, Shin took the opportunity to open his personal space and take out a potion.
With the potion in his hands, Shin turned to the citizens and concentrated on sensing their presence.
As he sensed them, he visualized a location and gathered the starry blue space element in his hand and projected it onto all the citizens who were immediately transported to the dėsɨrėd location.
”Whew, space magic really does take a lot of magical power,” Shin breathed out, taking a deep breath.
”Good thing I had this potion,” Shin said as he drank the potion in his hand.
It was a rather rare and expensive potion that not many people could afford, but it was very useful.
It was a potion that made you regain some of your magical power.
”Ahahahahahahah.”
After finishing drinking it, Shin heard a sinister and crazy laugh.
Looking towards Acnologia, he could see him standing and his wound was now completely healed.
”What? How?” Shin was surprised and confused because of how he had healed his wound.
I'm sure he doesn't have a regenerative ability or something, otherwise he would have regenerated the arm he lost in the anime” Shin thought.
Then the only solution is that he did it with magic, but I don't remember it being healing magic...
Thinking about it, Shin finally widened his eyes.
'But of course, when he was human, he was called ”Doctor” and he had healing magic that must have been enhanced a bit after his transformation.'
'But it's not powerful enough to regenerate a limb, so I won't have to give him time to heal.
Acnologia let out a roar as the magic was suċkėd into her mouth.
Having accumulated a huge amount of magic power, he unleashed his roar on Shin.
Shin immediately responded with a roar of fire.
*BOOM*
On the impact of his two attacks, the attacks spun off to the sides in rays of fire and magic that destroyed the entire kingdom.
Ravines were formed in the kingdom as the palace was cut in two.
As Shin maintained his roar, he swung his right arm up and his left arm down.
Underneath Acnologia, the earth distorted while in the sky, the clouds spiralled to meet at one point.
Acnologia watched his phenomena and flew up slightly, still holding his breath as both of Shin's hands closed into fists.
*CLAACK*
The earth formed into a giant spike that shot into the air towards Acnologia while in the middle of the cloud spiral, a bolt of lightning formed and roared to strike at high speed towards Acnologia.
As the two attacks rushed towards Acnologia from the sky and earth, Acnologia gave a surge of power for a moment in his roar so that his roar overwhelmed Shin's.
At this sight, Shin drew his spear and pointed it at the roar which collided with the tip of the spear and split in two as Shin struggled to hold on.
Meanwhile, Acnologia, no longer encumbered by its roar, opened its mouth again, but this time for a different reason.
When his mouth was opened, a suction came out and the lightning was suċkėd into his mouth and then converted back into magic so that Acnologia again used a roar from the lightning to the huge spike of earth formed under him.
*BOOM*
The huge spike was swept away by his roar and completely vaporised as a crater appeared in its place.
Shin in his case was still spear-pointed as the roar was split in two and the clouds were also cut in the same trajectory as the roar.
