The Universal Dragonslayer (Fairy Tail x Male Reader)

Chapter 17: A Blessed Intervention

This is another long one. Theres a lot of exposition here. I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Also as a quick note I want to thank everyone who has read this far. The story started out as a way for me to put my ideas out there for people to read and hopefully enjoy. So truly, thank you.

Acnologia: Come at me (R/N)! I've craved a true fight for years now!

You: I can't fight him, theres no way I'd stand a chance even with this new power!

A voice from the darkness of the cave draws your attention.

???: Now now Acnologia, isn't this a little sudden?

Acnologia snappishly looks off into the darkness.

Acnologia: What do you mean?! The boy has his power back! He's ready for a fight!

???: Is he? Look at him. If I didn't know better I'd say he's seen a ghost. He isn't ready.

Acnologia huffs and cools down.

???: I suggest we leave. Your presence here is stirring up the spirits. They will become angry if we don't go.

Acnologia: I'm not afraid of some mopey spirits.

???: You are fool to not be afraid. There are hundreds of spirits down here, all of them are focused on you. Need I remind you about what a single spirit did on Tenrou island?

Acnologia scoffs.

???: Plus we should give (R/N) time to master his abilities. Theres so many new things he can do now. I believe with a little time, he can give you the proper fight you've been begging for.

You: I like what he said. Can we go with his idea?

Acnologia: Very well then.

Acnologia thrusts his fist forward in your direction. A shockwave of energy strikes your stomach, sending you to the ground.

Acnologia: We shall meet again.

Your vision faded as the pain from the punch took its toll on you.

???: Yes (R/N), see you soon.

The sound of someone calling your name woke you up.

Dazed and confused you look at the figure calling you, it was Gajeel.

Your voice was shakey.

You: G-Gajeel?

Gajeel: Hey man, what happened to you?

You: I-I can't explain. How long have I b-been gone?

Gajeel: Two days. You look like you're getting over a hangover. Here I'll help you up.

Gajeel grabs your arms and lifts you up. You try to stand on your feet but fall over, a searing pain shoots from your abdomen.

Gajeel: Ok I guess walking isn't an option. I'll just carry you then.

He picks you up and hoists you over his shoulder.

You: Thanks.

Gajeel: Don't mention it.

You: So why are you here, wait, where is here?

Gajeel: Below the area I think. The pink haired idiot and I were fighting against Sting and Rouge when he throws me into a minecart and sends me away from the fight to take them on solo. Im assuming this is some old forgotten part of the Colosseum.
