Chapter 63 (1/2)

*ROAR*

Following the roar, everyone in the city, dragons, humans, the Archbishop's creations, all looked towards the one who had made the roar.

The huge black dragon arrived and stopped several feet in front of Shin, looking at him.

”It's been a long time, hasn't it? ”Shin said calmly but you could feel a little anger behind it.

”That's right, my body still remembers you,” Acnologia said as she looked at her missing arm with hidden hatred.

”I'm here for the dragons but since you're here, I'll make an exception!” said Acnologia looking at the dragons and dragonslayers before flying towards Shin at high speed.

*BOOM*

Shin rushed towards him and transformed into his Phoenix form and the two collided.

They clawed and winged each other, flew away and destroyed the whole landscape around them.

The mountains were destroyed, the rivers dried up, the forests burnt and the plains became deserted.

All this destruction was spread out over miles.

At S rank, they are powerful enough to destroy an empire or even a small island.

*BOOM*

*BAM*

*BOOM* *BOOM*

Their high-speed collision created powerful shockwaves that could be felt even in the city as they moved several miles away and were high in the sky.

Shin stopped and gave a powerful wing strike propelling him directly above the clouds as Acnologia hurried after him.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*

”This is...” stammered Gray.

”Terrifying,” Lucy finished, her eyes wide and terrified.

In the sky, a gigantic pillar of fire descended from the sky, dissipating the clouds and sinking into the earth.

The earth around it shook for a few seconds before it stopped.

This attack was so powerful and wide that it could have easily engulfed the city if it had wanted to.

Shin above the clouds used a large amount of magical power.

But by becoming S (middle) rank, his magic power reserves had increased considerably so the magic power consumption of this attack was reasonable.

At S (middle) rank, you can destroy an empire or a small island (like Tenrou Island)

Then, Shin hurriedly descended into the huge hole in the ground that you couldn't even see the bottom of.

*Creeps*

As he descended, lightning bolts formed around his wings and swung them towards the hole.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Huge and numerous flashes of lightning erupted all around the hole and went to the bottom causing several small explosions.

The attacks had filled the hole with a thick dust that made it impossible to see inside.

*ROAR*

As an angry roar was heard, Acnologia emerged from the dust and engaged in a rush of blows against Shin.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Tails, wings, claws, jaws, the two fought mercilessly in the sky.

Each contact between their two huge and powerful bodies created powerful shockwaves and the speed of their movement made them both almost invisible to the nȧkėd eye.

”You are a worthy enemy! You are even stronger than before!” laughed Acnologia.

He had scratches and cuts all over his body, while Shin had nothing.

That was the advantage of regeneration like his.

Especially since when he woke up, he had awakened his lineage to 50%.

As a result, his regeneration abilities were now at a level where he could truly be called Immortal.

As before, he is immune to and can heal all types of diseases and poisons, but now light wounds and loss of limbs will regenerate instantly, while mortal wounds such as having his head or heart destroyed will regenerate within hours.

He is literally untouchable, except when it comes to his soul, the only way he can die is if his soul is destroyed but it is very difficult if not impossible so he didn't worry too much about it.

A certain amount of his blood could make a person immortal, the amount of Life Energy his body can exert has become greater and more powerful.

Its amount is such that it could heal a whole planet.

Therefore, the Life Energy in his body and blood makes his body even stronger.

At his rank or below, it is not foolish to think that he is invincible.

”Yes, I'm definitely stronger than I was before,” Shin replied calmly, realizing this fact.

As the two of them charged at each other, Shin reverted to his human form at the last moment, conjured up his spear in his hand and slashed.

*SLASH*

Acnologia knew how to react in a second as he transformed into his human form and lost some hair.

*BOOM*

Acnologia rushed towards Shin, gathering destructive magic power around his hand and striking him.

*BAM*

Shin had reached out his hand and recalled the spear of life which returned to his hand to protect himself from the attack.

The attack had created an explosion of destructive magic power that engulfed Shin but he and his spear emerged completely unscathed.

He was surprised that his spear could withstand it without a scratch, whereas the last time, with a much weaker Acnologia, it had cracked a bit.

''State'' thought Shin as he was surprised to see the information in front of him.

[Name: Spear of Life Rank: King]

”Well, looks like I'm not the only one who got stronger” Shin muttered with a smile seeing some good news.

”Argh” Acnologia grunted in displeasure as her attack was countered so easily.

Shin propelled himself at Acnologia as he prepared a roar.

But this time, the roar was smaller and more compacted into a kind of beam and Shin ducked to dodge it as Acnologia moved her head and the beam moved as well.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Behind Shin, there was a chain of explosions because of this attack.

The roar even split into several but Shin managed to dodge them with ease.

Then, as a surprise, Shin's eyes flashed a dark blue star and he instantly appeared in front of Acnologia to the latter's surprise.

*SLASH*

Shin swung his spear and sliced Acnologia's torso, and Acnologia tried to protect himself with his arm, but the arm he tried to use was the one that Shin had cut off.

Blood spurted from the wound that made his entire torso as Acnologia lost her balance with surprise and pain but managed to get out of the way.

”Y-You!!!” Acnologia said with difficulty and rage, her magical power unleashed along with a powerful killing aura.

This aura could be felt for dozens of miles.

The people below fell under the pressure and most of them were sick under the deadly aura.

Zeref, Irene, August were still standing but were sweating under the power.

Erza was under pressure but less than the others thanks to her stronger body and the Life energy inherited from her father who protected her.
