Anakiss, in the heat of the moment, muttered, "Sacred Ability: Absolute Obliteration."
Before Anakiss could complete his incantation, Yoji dashed forward with incredible speed, his blade glowing with fierce energy. "Not so fast!" Yoji shouted, thrusting his blade into Anakiss's chest, disrupting the dark aura and cutting off his ability.
Anakiss stumbled back, clutching his chest in pain. "You... How dare you!"
Yoji seized the opportunity, focusing his energy and shouting, "Sacred Ability: Infernal Sovereign's Summon!"
The air crackled with power as a portal opened behind Yoji. From the portal emerged a colossal beast, towering at 9 meters tall, dwarfing the surrounding buildings. It had dark, leathery skin, glowing red eyes, and jagged, bone-like armor covering its body. The creature roared, shaking the very foundations of the city.
Anakiss sneered. "A mere beast won't stop me!"
The beast lunged at Anakiss with incredible speed, its massive claws slashing through the air. Anakiss dodged and countered with a series of powerful slashes from his unique ability, but the beast's wounds healed almost instantly.
"Impossible! How can it regenerate so quickly?" Anakiss growled, frustration evident in his voice.
The beast roared again, its eyes locking onto Anakiss. With a swift movement, it grabbed Anakiss and slammed him into the ground, creating a massive crater. The force of the impact sent shockwaves through the city, toppling buildings and causing widespread destruction.
Anakiss struggled to get up, his body battered and bruised. "You think this will stop me? I am unstoppable!"
The beast didn't relent, charging at Anakiss with unrelenting fury. Anakiss fought back with all his might, unleashing powerful slashes and energy attacks, but the beast's regeneration and overwhelming strength proved too much for him.
Yoji, struggling to stay conscious, watched the battle with determination. "Just a little more... I can't let him win..."
Anakiss, realizing he was outmatched, attempted to summon his remaining strength. "I won't go down like this!"
But the beast was relentless, delivering a final, devastating blow that sent Anakiss crashing into the ground. The force of the impact created a massive explosion, obliterating the surrounding area and sending debris flying in all directions.
"It's over..."
-Flashback Over-
"You got your ass kicked!!" Luke said, holding back his laughter.
Yoji scoffed and said, "Your automatic healing ability means that you don't have full control over your energy, meaning that you have to train, and train to beat Anakiss."
"But isn't automatic healing good?" Luke replied.
"No. Healing costs small amounts of energy everytime you use it. The bigger the wound, the more energy it costs. You don't wanna be healing small wounds not worth healing, because they'll add up, and make you tired." Yoji said.
Luke stared.
"There are certain tiers that people possess." Yoji said.
"What are those tiers?" Luke replied.
"The first tier starts off at Street Level. You were a street level this morning until you aquired Anakiss. I'll list them in order so you don't have to hear me talk for 2 hours." Yoji said.
"Street Level,
Wall Level,
Building Level,
City Block Level,
Multi-City Block Level,
Town Level,
City Level,
Mountain Level,
Island Level,
Country Level,
Continent Level,
and Planetary Level." Yoji said.
"Woah..." Luke said in awe.
"Unfortunately, you scale up to Wall Level to Building Level, while Anakiss scales up to City Level to Mountain Level." Yoji says in a certain tone.
Before the two of them could say anything, they heard a voice saying, "Hey! What are you boys still doing out here?!"
A mildly overweight park ranger emerged from the darkness, the fire illuminated his figure.
"Ah, sorry Sir." Yoji said before putting the fire out.
Before the fire went dim, a hand reached out of Luke's mouth. It was red. It extended far out, revealing the full arm.
"A-ANAKISS!!" Yoji screamed as Anakiss emerged from Luke's mouth.
------------------Abnormalities: Spirit!------------------
"A-ANAKISS!!"
Anakiss emerged from Luke's throat, dashing towards the park ranger.
One Anakiss reached the park ranger, he jabbed his hand into his throat, inserting some of his DNA.
Barely acknowledging what just happened, Anakiss uses his cutting ability to cut the park ranger's neck open, effectively killing him.
"MY NEW VESSEL FEELS GREAT!!" Anakiss yelled in joy.
"I-I barely saw what happened... It only lasted 3/4 of a second! How fast is this Anakiss freak?!" Yoji said in shock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: For those who are unsure of what just happened, let me give you a detailed explanation.
Luke let his guard down, allowing Anakiss to materialize.
Anakiss lunged at the park ranger, jabbing his hand into his neck and inserting his DNA inside, making the park ranger his new vessel.
It is said that once a Spectral's user dies, the Spectral disappears along with them.
Anakiss knew this and took advantage of it, killing the park ranger immediately before he fully became the new vessel.
In other words, Luke cannot contain Anakiss anymore, and Anakiss is a stray dog without a vessel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I have no doubt Luke will heal that broken jaw." Anakiss says, using his cutting ability to slice Luke's left arm off.
"A-AUGUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!" Luke yelled in pain, clenching his severed left arm.
Anakiss turns to Yoji and lunges at him, throwing 100 punches at him in a single second.
"W-WHAT THE FUCK?!" Yoji exclaims.
Luke switched from screaming and focused his energy into healing his jaw and hand, which took around 10 seconds.
"I've had enough. I'm outta here." Anakiss said, laughing as he disappeared into the night.
"ANAKISS, YOU BASTARD!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU, I SWEAR ON MY LIFE! I'LL GET TO COUNTRY LEVEL AND FUCKING END YOU!" Luke yelled in frustration.
To Be Continued!
