Gone, All Gone

Deep in the forest, Jellal was holding a wooden staff and waving it repeatedly at the dark clouds in the sky.

He didn't look very relaxed; his forehead was covered in sweat.

He hadn't expected that this "Anima" could absorb so much magic power this time, it was as if it had absorbed an entire magic crystal mine.

But how could the Anima in the sky absorb mineral veins underground? It's just too hard to understand!

Suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, echoed from the forest. Jellal instinctively looked over, his heart filled with worry. Had someone been injured because of Anima's appearance?

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, and more and more sweat beaded on his forehead.

However, not long after, another rumbling explosion came from the direction where the scream had just occurred, and even the earth began to tremble slightly. Countless trees began to fall in succession, as if a huge ferocious beast was rampaging towards him.

"Damn it, what is that?" Jellal was terrified at the sight, but he was at a critical moment in dealing with Anima, and any movement would mean all his efforts were in vain. He could only widen his eyes and prepare to face the behemoth's charge.

Finally, the last giant tree blocking their view collapsed with a deafening roar. However, what emerged was not a monstrous beast, but a gray-haired boy. The boy's face was contorted with rage, his wide eyes radiating a chilling light. Unseen, violent energy swirled around his body, tearing apart everything that stood in his way.

"Jellal, you bastard, give me back my Spherulite!"

With a roar, his violent Telekinesis tore through the air, accompanied by a deafening explosion, and slammed down towards Jellal in front of him.

In that instant, Jellal almost saw death itself; the irresistible threat of death pounded at every nerve in his body. He could no longer think about Anima; without hesitation, he put down his staff, lunged to the side, and desperately avoided the fatal blow.

Boom!!

The ground beneath Jellal's feet instantly cracked, and the entire area sank a short distance, revealing shallow cliff walls.

"Who... who are you?" Even Jellal, who was usually so calm, was so shocked that he could hardly speak. He sat on the ground with his legs spread apart, covered in cold sweat. The sinking ground was only a tiny gap away from his little brother!

"Stop playing dumb with me, Jellal! If you want revenge, come at me! What kind of skill is it to steal my money!" Eleven roared at Jellal from his high vantage point in the air!

(▼plate▼)

He didn't really intend to kill Jellal. He believed that Jellal was capable of avoiding an attack of that level. If he couldn't avoid it, he wouldn't have the face to live!

"Um, I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the Gerald you know..."

"Stop pretending! Give me back the Spherulite you stole from me! Do you know how much effort I put into digging them out of the mine?"

Roaring, Eleven grabbed a fallen tree nearby and swung it at Jellal rolled around on the ground in fear, trying to dodge it.

At that moment, he finally understood why the Anima in the sky had suddenly expanded. It was because it had absorbed a large amount of Spherulites. Just how many Spherulite mines had this person mined to make the Anima expand like that? Aren't those things supposed to be very difficult to obtain?

"Um, please let me explain! I really didn't... Wow! Stop hitting me!"

"I didn't... I didn't..."

Eleven didn't want to listen to Jellal's excuses; he wanted to beat him up first! Trying to fool me? Pshaw! You think I, Eleven, would believe your nonsense?

Jellal was desperately dodging Eleven's relentless attacks, unable to utter a single complete sentence. Had it not been for his exceptional senses and lightning-fast reflexes, he would have been pinned to the ground and tortured a hundred times over by now.

Where did this lunatic come from? He's not giving anyone a chance to speak at all! Is he toxic?!

Just then, the dark cloud in the sky, which Jellal called "Anima," went out of control and began to move even faster, suddenly expanding another size.

The absorption of magic power increased more than double instantly, even sucking leaves and pebbles on the ground into the sky and forcibly converting them into magic power.

This anomaly immediately caught Eleven's attention, causing him to turn his gaze to the sky and giving Jellal a brief respite.

Jellal had a brief moment of free time, dared not rest. Instead, he shouted out the words that had been bottled up in his heart at the fastest speed he had ever spoken.

"I'm not the Jellal you know! I didn't steal your Spherulite! I need to shut down the Anima in the sky right now, we can talk about this later!"

After shouting "Jellal!", he felt incredibly satisfied. Ignoring Eleven, he turned and raised his staff, his expression serious as he focused on dealing with Anima.

Upon hearing Jellal's voice, Eleven turned around and saw Jellal's aloof back, which immediately annoyed him.

(╬￣俣)

Damn it, they actually dared to ignore me!

They acted quite convincingly, even perfectly portraying the emotional fluctuations!

Eleven coldly watched Jellal struggle to cast a spell, and silently raised a finger.

"The Vomiting Technique!"

The so-called Vomiting Technique is Eleven's skill that can make people vomit. The Memory information to be implanted has been packaged and organized, and after improvement and enhancement, the effect is better and it is more convenient and faster to use.

This is truly an essential skill for home and travel, and for punishing evil and promoting good!

"Ugh! What are you doing... ugh!"

Jellal, who was waving his staff, suddenly shuddered, fell to his knees, and began to frantically spew filth.

"Look at you, you still look awful when you vomit. And you still say you're not Jellal? Who are you trying to fool?"

Eleven landed in front of Jellal with a disgruntled expression, but kept a distance to avoid getting splashed.

"Seriously, when did you get your brain fixed? Your thinking isn't so muddled anymore! But why does your strength seem to have gotten worse too?"

"You bastard... I'm going to vomit, vomit! You have to shut this down, Anima son of a bitch... vomit!" Jellal's eyes widened in anger, wishing he could beat this annoying bastard to death, but he couldn't stop feeling nauseous and was filled with despair.

"Close? Anima? That thing up there?" Eleven heard Jellal's fragmented words and looked up at the dark cloud in the sky.

If I hadn't noticed for a moment, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have expanded a bit more, and their speed of absorbing magic seemed to have increased even more.

Oh right, this is what attracted my Spherulite. At first, I thought it was some kind of strange weather phenomenon!

It seems this was Jellal's doing. Could my Spherulite still be inside?

Damn, no wonder Jellal was in such a hurry to shut it down, he really wanted to steal my hard work!

With that thought in mind, Eleven no longer hesitated. A massive surge of Telekinesis roared out, transforming into a thick tentacle that shot straight into the sky.

The dark cloud hung very low, only a few hundred meters in the air, within Eleven's Telekinesis. He planned to strike at the heart of the matter and retrieve all his Spherulite.

A black hole exists in the middle of the dark clouds, opening and closing like a giant, pitch-black maw, mercilessly devouring all kinds of magical power in the air. However, it only devours magical power; Spiritual Power is not within its range of consumption.

However, Eleven's Telekinesis didn't care about anything else and barged in without any consent!

Instantly, the entire black cloud began to tremble, and the giant black maw in the center stopped absorbing magic power. Instead, it began to contract and expand continuously, as if trying to expel Eleven's Telekinesis. It was as if a foreign object had suddenly entered a slender throat, causing it to gag repeatedly.

Unmoved, Eleven stubbornly continued to manipulate his Telekinesis, forcefully beginning his exploration inside.

Finally, the dark cloud seemed unable to tolerate Eleven's insults any longer, and it exploded on its own with a bang!

The surrounding dark clouds were instantly dispelled.

The sky has cleared.

Eleven stared blankly at the sky, the sunlight shining on his face, stinging his eyes.

How did it explode?

Where is my Spherulite?

Where is my money?

Gone! All gone!
