His gaze turned to the massive figure in the smoke, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.
He tightened his grip on Ryūjin Jakka.
"That guy hasn't used the power he used against me. He's just playing!"
Gildarts' solemn voice rang out.
Roar—!!
As expected, Acnologia's roar came from within the smoke.
A powerful gust of wind swept through, completely tearing apart the smoke that surrounded Acnologia.
Finn raised his arm to shield himself from the storm.
Nancy also clung tightly to Finn's collar, resisting the intense wind pressure.
Acnologia's roar seemed to carry other emotions.
Perhaps it felt pain from the earlier attacks.
Or perhaps it felt that things were becoming interesting.
It emerged, its body unharmed except for some dust.
"How… is that possible?" Gajeel murmured.
"Even the three Dragon Slayers can't hurt it…" Wendy covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.
Seeing this, even the optimistic Natsu was stunned.
"Why is this happening…? Why did I even bother to learn Dragon Slayer Magic?!" Natsu slammed his fists into the ground.
His voice was filled with self-doubt.
Not giving them time to recover, Acnologia raised its powerful claws again.
It swung them down, creating intense wind pressure. The moment they hit the ground, the earth cracked, and countless rocks were swept up by the wind.
BOOM—!!
The sound of flames erupting rang out. In front of everyone, a massive wall of fire rose out of nowhere.
It engulfed all the rocks, burning them to ashes!
The red light illuminated everyone's faces.
Everyone's gaze turned to the figure bathed in flames.
"Everyone, fall back!" Finn said solemnly.
Hearing Finn's words, everyone was stunned.
"What are you saying?"
"Yeah, Finn, we can help!"
"We'll organize another attack. I don't believe we can't hurt it!"
Everyone shouted.
"Listen to me!" Finn stopped them, his gaze fixed on the figure behind the wall of fire.
"Acnologia probably has very high magic resistance, so normal magic attacks are basically useless against it."
"But if things go as planned, my attacks should be able to hurt the Black Dragon!"
Hearing Finn's words, everyone was puzzled.
They didn't understand what Finn meant.
"My attacks can hurt souls!" Finn explained.
"Souls?" Makarov was stunned.
"That's right," Finn nodded.
Ryūjin Jakka did possess the power to directly damage souls.
However, this attribute had no special effect on ordinary people.
After all, death of the body meant complete death.
So Finn had basically never used this power. But now, facing Acnologia, a monster that was basically immune to magic, the power to directly attack souls became extremely important.
"Let's listen to him. If he says he can do it, he definitely can!"
Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Gildarts stepped forward and said.
Although they were reluctant, everyone followed Gildarts and left.
"Protect everyone in the guild!" Finn said to Gildarts softly.
Then he walked towards Acnologia.
Acnologia didn't care about those who were leaving.
Although there were Dragon Slayers among them, this was an isolated island. Where could they run?
They were just providing some entertainment for this hunt.
But seeing the lone figure before him, Acnologia's eyes showed a hint of amusement and surprise.
Even it was surprised that the figure dared to face it alone.
After all, the giant from before had been easily defeated.
....
So… what do you have?
Acnologia opened its mouth wide, letting out a deafening roar.
It seemed to be mocking the figure before it.
Whoosh…
Finn took a deep breath, and the magic power within his body began to rage.
A crimson light gradually enveloped Finn's body.
Countless rocks slowly rose from the ground around Finn because of the raging magic power.
As if they had escaped gravity.
And the flames burning around Finn grew even more violently.
The terrifying temperature scorched the earth, causing it to crack instantly.
"That feeling…" Makarov, being carried by Nancy, turned to look at Finn, who was standing in the flames.
He couldn't help but recall the terrifying heat that had engulfed Magnolia a while ago.
At that time, Finn had explained that he was training.
At that moment, Makarov had realized that Finn's power was no longer limited to destroying a city.
Soon, everyone arrived at a relatively safe place, their gaze fixed on the dragon and the human facing each other.
Acnologia looked at the figure before it with interest.
It seemed to be expecting the ant to bring it some amusement.
And Finn was also tightly guarding against Acnologia, preventing it from attacking Makarov and the others.
But seeing that everyone had moved far away, Finn relaxed.
"Then… let me show you," Finn said slowly.
He knew Acnologia could understand him.
"Although I really don't want to use this power…"
With that, Finn forcefully swung down the Zanpakutō in his hand.
The raging flames around him gradually extinguished.
A plume of smoke slowly rose from the blade of Ryūjin Jakka.
"Bankai!!"
"Bankai - Zanka no Tachi!!"
As Finn's words rang out, the raging flames around him disappeared completely.
Only a plume of smoke and a charred, blackened longsword remained.
"Finn's flames have all extinguished!" From the back of the battlefield, Happy's eyes widened as he looked at Finn.
"Without flames, Finn is in danger!" Mirajane said, her heart filled with anxiety.
"Damn it… If that's the case…" Natsu clenched his fists, wanting to rush forward and help.
But Erza stopped him.
"Don't be impulsive, Natsu!" Erza said sternly.
The stopped Natsu was somewhat angry.
"How can Finn withstand Acnologia without flames?!" he shouted.
"That's not losing the flames, it's a technique that seals the flames within the sword!"
