50 - Sealing Vaatu
🕑 Added 2024-05-12 11:04:19 +0000 UTCCountless spirit animals were rushing in from every direction, Levi could even feel some of them moving underground.
He immediately took to the skies, there were spirits there too but there were way fewer of them.
Conjuring his bow, Levi started firing arrows in every direction unceasingly, draining his Chi reserves even further, but it was useless; it didn't even make a dent in the army of feral spirits.
Closing his eyes and disabling his bow Levi opened them after a while and snapped his fingers, a transparent spherical forcefield spread with him as the center, where ever it passed the spirits either dissipated completely for the weaker and ethereal ones or were knocked down from the sky for the stronger ones.
Sadly Levi wasn't facing against consciousness beings who would value their survival above all else, his attack didn't even make them flinch as they ignored their downed comrades and continued charging towards him.
‘This is really bad.’ thought Levi while smiling helplessly, just one small miscalculation had led to this, ‘If only I had known beforehand.’ he lamented in his heart but it was already too late now.
The army of spirits was getting even closer and Vaatu’s laughter was getting even louder in the background, looking at this scene Levi knew that it was already too late, there was no longer any hope of sealing Vaatu back if no miracle happened, he could only try his best to get out of this situations.
“Ha-ah” sighing Levi closed his eyes.
*SWITCH*
The moment he opened them again the world in front of him seemed to have frozen, Vaatu and the spirits were all frozen still without moving a muscle, but if one paid careful attention they would notice that they were still moving, however it was so slow that it was negligible.
A spirit that looked like a crow was even right in front of Levi’s face, extending his finger Levi poked it ever so lightly.
Slowly the spirit started to deform at the place Levi had poked it at, it was like it was shot by a high caliber rifle and it was bursting apart in slow motion.
Ignoring the bursting spirit Levi flew higher as he maneuvered himself between them until he was so high that he could see the entire battlefield from here.
The army of spirits had already moved by a bit but it didn't seem that they even noticed he had disappeared.
Levi couldn't help but get lost in this sensation of omnipotence, he had felt it dozens of times during the past two years but every time it was as if it was his first.
While using Limit breaker he felt that he could do anything, that he wasn't shackled by anything, he didn't even need his hybrid form or Divine armament armor, just his enhanced natural defense was enough, he didn't even need his bonded spirits, while in this state he could feel an endless reserve of energy and stamina at his disposal.
Of course, he also knew that this was all just temporary, soon he wouldn't be able to maintain it for any longer, but he still had all the time that he needed.
Slowly inhaling and exhaling Levi moved his hands, and immediately half of the spirit animals that were charging towards him, specifically the ones that had physical form and blood! jerked, for as far as the eye can see they started to immediately inflate before bursting open from the inside out, their blood spreading everywhere.
That was blood-bending!
Levi couldn't use it normally, but with the boost of limit breaker he could finally break the suppression of the spirit realm on him and use his bending powers, aside from Limit breaker this was his other trump card.
Sadly this only took out half of the approaching horde, the remaining ones were just transparent spirits that did not have any blood in them, of course that didn't mean Levi didn't have a way to deal with them.
Conjuring his bow and arrow he coated it in ethereal force again before firing it into the sky, doing the same again and again in every direction, he felt as if his energy was inexhaustible while using limit breaker, and it might as well be, he had never run out of it while in his limit breaker state.
Of course the more he strained himself the more backlash he would have to deal with later, but that was trouble he'd leave to his future self.

Vaatu was laughing maniacally far from Levi as he saw the spirits swarm and drown him, he couldn't even see him anymore, he was sure that the monstrosity that called itself human was done for this time.
Or so he thought!
The next scene would have made Vaatu’s skin crawl if he had any, right before his eyes he saw all the spirits getting pushed away from Levi, with some dying immediately and the ones that were better off were knocked down into the ground.
The next second the damned human disappeared from before him as if he had teleported, it was way faster than when he had turned into a half-dragon like before, and in less than a second after that half his army of spirits burst open in front of him, their blood turning into rivers as it fell into the ground.
“BLOOD BENDING!” shouted Vaatu shocked, not believing what he was seeing, he was after all an immortal ancient spirit so it was bound that he knew what blood bending is, but he was shocked nonetheless.
Vaatu didn't even get enough time to process his shock when a rain of golden arrows came raining down from above, even more than what had been used on him before, some even grazing him as he quickly retreated from there in fear.
He still had deep fear towards that rain of arrows, out of all the moves Levi had used that was the thing that made him suffer most, he didn't think that he would ever forget about it for his entire life.
By the time the rain of arrows stopped, which was way longer than the one used against him, his army of spirits was completely annihilated, making Vaatu even more fearful.
“An army of tens of thousands was just wiped out like that?.” he muttered to himself in disbelief, there were still spirit beasts some distance away coming to aid him, but what use would they be?
‘I need to get out of here.’ That thought assaulted Vaatu’s mind again and again as he turned around and darted from there as fast as possible, as long as he could have enough time to recover to his peak state he was sure that monstrosity wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Alas, he couldn't even keep up with Levi in his hybrid form mod, let alone when he was using limit breaker, just when he turned around to leave he found Levi right in front of him.
A punch harder than anything Levi had thrown at him before collided with his face sending him back.
‘What is happening, he seems like an entirely different person.’ thought Vaatu his fear getting stronger, he had seen how Levi fought before and had felt his strength, but the one in front of him right now was on another league of his own, just when he finished that train of thoughts another punch collided with his face sending him even further back.
He had finally noticed what was happening when he was punched back the third time, with every punch he was getting pushed closer to that cursed tree that trapped him for thousands of years.
Seeing what was happening Vaatu couldn't stay calm any longer as he started to do anything he couldn't to get out of his current predicament, “YOU DAMN HUMAN, YOU WILL NOT TRAP ME AGAIN” he screamed at the top of his lungs as he started struggling madly.
Levi though still didn't show everything that he had, with a wave of his hand all the blood that was flowing like rivers on the ground previously was brought up and formed a sphere around Levi, Vaatu and the tree blocking all routes of escape and making their surroundings turn into complete darkness, before the remaining blood lashed at Vaatu like whips, with some of it turning into red ice weapons and piercing him.
And not only that, with every fist Levi threw after that a torrent or a ball of fire would fly at Vaatu, illuminating their surroundings, injuring him and weakening him even further.
The blood sphere around them kept shrinking the closer Vaatu was pushed into the tree, until it was barely holding both of them inside.
By now Vaatu started struggling with all his might making it even harder for Levi to hold him down, his tentacles were flailing everywhere trying to get out of this predicament. And he might have been successful if this was Levi in his hybrid form, but now that he had limit breaker active he didn't have any hope.
The blood sphere shrank even further until Vaatu was almost pushed back into the tree, sadly that meant there was less of a space for Levi to dodge in so even with how inhuman he was while using limit breaker he was still hit repeatedly, still that did nothing with his enchanted defense.
Copying what he had seen from the show, at least as best as he could, Levi summoned fire and blood and made them circle around Vaatu as they pushed him into the tree with him getting smaller by the second.
At this point Levi started to notice something strange, at first he thought that it was Vaatu's struggles becoming weaker but soon he noticed that it wasn't that, it was as if there was a force helping him in containing Vaatu, it felt strangely similar to the spirit realm's suppression on him.
‘Is the spirit realm helping me?.’ thought Levi, but it did make sense, if the spirit realm had the least bit of consciousness it wouldn't want Vaatu running loose anytime soon.
“NOOOOOOOO, I'LL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT JUST LET ME GO.” screamed Vaatu as loud as he could, changing his tactics from threats to begging and trying to play on Levi’s greed, but sadly for him that wouldn't work.
Soon Vaatu was completely encased in the tree leaving only one tentacle behind but even without Levi doing anything it was getting pushed in with that mysterious force’s help, and it was a good thing because Levi couldn't maintain Limit breaker any longer.
Falling down on one knee and breathing heavily, Levi had a satisfied smile on his face, he had actually done it, ‘From now on nothing could go wrong.’ thought Levi satisfied.
The next second the remaining tentacle of Vaatu, just as it was about to be sealed, elongated into unnatural lengths and swept at Levi, feeling the incoming danger Levi tried his best to dodge, but limit breaker had taken a toll on him, he barely had any energy left and was far from his top shape, he couldn't even cover himself in scales as protection.
The next second the tentacle had already swept past him and was drawn back into the tree by the mysterious force getting sealed, Vaatu’s laughter though confused Levi.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA, EVEN IF I GET SEALED HERE TODAY IT WAS WORTH IT, I HAVE TAKEN YOU DOWN WITH ME HAHAHAH.” laughed Vaatu loudly.

Levi felt the world spin around him and was about to black out when he noticed the system messages.
He was lying on his back on the ground and looking up at the sky, but he didn't have to check his body to know what had happened, he only had to look to his left to understand everything, there on his left the lower half of his body lay motionless, from the stomach down, it was a gruesome sight.
‘Ha-ah, I really had to jinx it didn't I’ thought Levi, not even able to mutter any words, he didn't have the energy for it.
‘Thankfully I am not in a fatal state’ he thought, if anyone heard that right now they would vomit blood from shock, it was even a miracle that he was conscious right now but he still thought he wasn't in a critical state!
Of course the reason Levi thought that was that he was looking at his health points, and he noticed that they weren't getting any lower, on the contrary, rapid recovery and Gamer’s body were working overtime in healing him.
Of course all of this is thanks to Gamer’s body in the first place, without it, it wouldn't matter how hard rapid recovery worked, it would have never been able to restore him.
Acnologia had also been worried sick at first but after a lot of consolation from Levi, he seemed to have calmed down, of course he couldn't get out for now, Levi still had to rely on his health points while they were bonded to keep his state stable.
“WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE.” said a panicked voice from the side as rushed footsteps got closer.
Turning around Levi relaxed when he saw that it was only Tobirama, if he had to face another enemy now then that was it for him.
“It appears we made a slight miscalculation in the rune circle.” said Levi with all his strength.
“Never mind about that, we need to get you help immediately.” said Tobirama in distress, it was obvious he was starting to panic, although he didn't show it on his face Levi had known him for long enough to detect it.
“Nah, don't worry, this is nothing but a scratch, although I still need you to watch over me for the time being.” said Levi stopping Tobirama from doing anything that might make his situation even worse.
Hearing him Tobirama finally relaxed, he could only nod seriously and sit cross-legged beside Levi, he believed in his master and knew that if he said it would be alright then it would, no matter how grave the situation looked.
Seeing that Tobirama had calmed down and listened to his order Levi couldn't help but once again praise competent subordinates as he turned his attention to his notifications, he had been ignoring them all throughout the battle but right now when he looked over he got a Pleasant surprise.
Aside from the Leveled up skills and abilities he had actually completed a quest, he was so busy before that he didn't even notice that he had received it.
[Quest = Seal the dark spirit Vaatu - Completed…
