Chapter 45 - Tower of Heaven (2)

Tower of Heaven (2)

----

Jellal froze unable to process anything but Shanks zoomed past him. 

[Divine Departure]

Shanks with his saber drawn slashed forward. Red Destruction followed and the Mages who were rushing towards him all were obliterated with a single strike. 

They had no remains left. 

Shanks smiled a bit. The council cannot and will not charge him after all there were no remains and even if there were, this tower the R-system was something that should have been destroyed a long time ago. 

Shanks with his proficiency in observation Haki could sense a rather familiar but a bit dark aura emitting from the ceiling. 

'Someone was hiding.' He deduced. 'But why does it remind me of...Ur?' 

Then like a domino falling. Everything clicked. His mind raced and he realized who was hiding there. 

'Ultear!'

Shanks thought and he realized why was Precht really here. To make sure Ultear was doing alright. 

Shanks could also sense the familiar presence of Rune Magic latched to her. 

He smirked internally. 

'I will let her play her little games.' 

Shanks continued his onslaught. There were many Mages here but none were up to par. 

He was after all the son of Gildarts. 

He hacked left and right destroying any Mages who were there to fight him.

Shanks Pov

"Hah! Haah!" I breathed. 

It was tiring. I had cut and bruises around my body, but I did not heal it. I had enough Magic Power but not enough to fight against Ultear. She was my age and as strong as me or not. 

"You can come out now." 

I said out loudly. 

From the corner of my eyes, I could see even Jellal unconscious. 

My bursts of conquerors must have done some damage. 

No reply came and Ultear was still hiding. 

"You can come out, Ultear." 

And this was enough for the girl to come out hiding. 

"How-How do you know my name?" 

I looked at her. She looked around to be my age, but her presence was still powerful. 

"You are Ur's daughter, aren't you?" 

Her eyes narrowed and I could sense that she was scared and nervous. 

"You mother often tells me about you. How she lost a daughter." 

"To think you were still alive." 

My voice now carried warmth. 

"Come with me. Go home to your mother." 

She was in shock. I could tell. 

"No!" She declared. 

I had predicted this, so I rushed towards her. Flaring my Haki. 

She froze. 

In less than a blink of an eye I stood beside her and touched her head releasing my conquerors directly onto her. 

...She fainted. 

And suddenly I sensed another presence. The very figure that had talked to me normally before I came to this tower. 

Precht- The second Guild Master. 

And now with him. He carried Killing Intent.
