Chapter 48: 48 - The way back home and meeting Vaatu



Step by step Levi walked towards Vaatu with Acnologia beside him, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, counting both shows, this was one of the strongest entities ever shown, aside from Raava, and it seemed Acnologia was also feeling the pressure as he surveyed his surroundings cautiously.

Levi noticed that the tree hole Vaatu was trapped in was shaped like an eye with Vaatu I as the pupil which made for an eerie sight.

Vaatu didn't say a word until they were right in front of him and the tree, Levi even started to think that he might be unable to talk in his current state but if his memories from the show served him right that wasn't true.

"So, did the avatar bite your tongue or what?." said Levi in a mocking be the with a slight smirk on his face.

That seemed to finally get a reaction out of Vaatu, "What is a human like you doing here? It's been so long since I've seen one of your kind and you don't seem to have died and crossed over to the spirit world, how curious." said Vaatu, his tone neither angry nor annoyed, displaying no emotions at all.

"Ha-ah, trust me mate I don't want to be here just as much as you don't want to be trapped in that tree." Said Levi sighing, he was talking about being trapped in the spirit world, although he was a little caught off guard that Vaatu could tell that he hadn't died but he wasn't too surprised, he was one of the oldest beings in the spirit world and that was to be expected, he didn't show any reaction to it on his face.

"Thankfully I won't be here for long and for that I will need your help." said Levi with an innocent smile on his face before continuing as that innocent smile evil, "Not that you have a say in the matter anyhow."

Saying that Levi conjured a golden spear and proceeded to draw strange patterns on the rocks and ground surrounding the tree with Vaatu watching him.

He had practiced this set of patterns and runes more than once before and so he could replicate them perfectly. They were the ones Tobirama found in the library that could help him get back home, but sadly he never had a sufficient source of energy.

Vaatu watched for a while before he finally spoke, "These…runes, You plan to drain me of my energy and forcefully rip a portal to another realm" he said, his tone neither angry nor fearful just like before, it was as if he was talking about somebody else and didn't care at all.

Whistling Levi spoke, "I expect no less from one of the oldest spirits in the spirit realm, and yes, that is exactly what I am planning to do, you don't have to worry about it though, it is not like you're using it." said Levi in a carefree tone, although inside a storm was raging.

Other realms? Vaatu recognised the runes and patterns which wasn't much of a surprise, but what surprised Levi was the mention of other realms, 'So there are more realms other than the spirit realm and the physical world!?.' questioned Levi but he didn't voice it out loud.

He knew that Vaatu would never tell him and it would only show his lack of knowledge and a possible weakness that could be exploited.

"How curious indeed, how could a human your age possess knowledge like this? By your race's standards, you're barely just a fledgling, it seems a lot has changed since I've been sealed, although sadly I have to agree with you, my energy is indeed just going to waste as it is right now, at least it can help someone else" said Vatuu, his tone this time curious and intrigued, but he still had that unhurried and calm aura in his tone, as if whatever was happening didn't concern him at all.

Levi would have been apprehensive if Vaatu wasn't sealed, but right now? He wasn't worried at all, what could the lump of dark red energy do in its current state, besides getting used as a battery, although Vaatu being nice and okay with it did unnerve him, this wasn't what he expected the dark spirit to be like, he expected him to be angry, vengeful, or at least annoyed, still he didn't show any his thoughts on his outside appearance, Vaatu was sealed and couldn't do anything right now.

Before long Levi was done with his carvings as he disabled his spear, a big rune circle now surrounded Vaatu and the tree he was trapped in, ready to drain him of all his energy.

'Hopefully it would be enough.' thought Levi, without his Gamer's mind active he would be fidgeting in nervousness right about now.

"Are you sure about this buddy?." asked Levi as he turned towards Acnologia who nodded resolutely.

He was asking about Acnologia going into the physical world with him, Levi had no problem with it, he was just worried about Acnologia not being able to survive in there, but now that he was so insistent he could do nothing about it, worst case scenario he could just store him inside of his body till he figures something out.

But, if his theory was right when he switched to his physical body with Acnologia inside of him, he would also switch with him too, he was a part of him after all, sure he wasn't like The Blue Eagle, Koh or the eastern dragon who had died completely and assimilated to him, but he was nonetheless bonded with him and by all means should be affected by his ability.

Now that everything was settled there was no use delaying it any longer, recalling Acnologia back into his side and telling him to stay close Levi took a deep breath in before approaching the rune circle.

Ignoring Vaatu's strangely calm attitude, Levi bent down beside the rune circle and put his hand on it. He first needs to inject energy into it, in this case, Chi, to activate it before it starts to absorb energy on its own.

As for the reason Levi could control his own Chi to send it into the runes, it was because of his ethereal force ability, not only could he use it to reinforce himself, observe his surroundings, and suppress his enemies, but he also found out that he could use it to control his inner energies, which was only Chi at the current time, but hopeful if he ever gains more energies in the future he would be able to control them as well.

His Chi seeped into the runes and started spreading to every part of it, Levi could feel his reserves thinning but it was not worth mentioning, with the eastern dragon and Koh's 3k Chi points each it would be a miracle if he could even expend 1% of it in the startup phase.

Sure enough, before long the runes started glowing and shining and they started absorbing his Chi faster and more greedily than before, Levi immediately stopped supplying them with any more of it, it was no longer necessary.

Using observation on the rune circle and Vaatu Levi received the information he was looking for.

[Dimension-breaking rune circle: A rune circle used to puncture holes in the dimensions they are used in and use them to travel to the intended destination.

Startup cost: 50 Chi points (Completed)

Activation cost: 467/500.000 Chi points]

Seeing that it had already started to drain the energy from Vaatu Levi was relieved, he didn't have any doubt about his inscription skills as he had practiced them dozens of times before but he was afraid that whatever seal avatar Wan put in place would restrict the absorption.

Thankfully that wasn't the case, now he could only wait and hope that Vaatu's energy reserves were sufficient, or could at least fill it up till it was almost full and he could compensate for the remaining energy himself.

Sadly when it came to Vaatu, aside from the name he only received question marks for everything else which was something he expected, although observation had reached max level he still couldn't prop those who were far stronger than him and had much higher levels.

Sitting cross-legged Levi waited, that's all he could do now, he had done everything he could, searched all around the spirit realm, and sought help from all kinds of spirit world inhabitants and this was his final resort, he could only sit in meditation while wishing it worked.

Two hours passed like that with the runes circle slowly draining Vaatu and lighting up by the second and Levi sitting cross-legged beside it.

It was all going according to plan when suddenly and out of nowhere the crazy laughter of vaatu started ringing in Levi's ear, bringing a chill up his spine, 'Something is wrong.' thought Levi as he immediately got up ready for battle with Acnologia doing the same.

"HAHAHAHA, FOOLISH MORTALS." Vaatu laughed at the top of his lungs, "I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO YOU HUMANS AT THIS POINT HAHAHA."

Levi didn't know what was happening but he knew that something definitely went wrong, immediately he put his hand on Acnologia's head.

His hand shined for a moment before a full suit of golden armor covered Acnologia from head to toe, leaving no gap, it even had sharp claws on both his hands and legs, and a spearhead at the end of his tail, it was specially designed for war and killing.

Levi on the other hand conjured his own golden armor with a double-edged sword in each hand, all of that might seem like it took long but it was barely a second before both Acnologia and Levi were covered with glowing golden armor and ready for battle.

"I AM FINALLY FREE" shouted Vaatu at the top of his lungs, his earlier calm and composed demeanor nowhere to be seen, immediately after a shock wave so strong blasted with Vaatu at the center pushing both Levi and Acnologia away.

While Vatuu was having his moment and before the shock wave hit Levi tried stealing his face, but it didn't work, which Levi expected as Vaatu didn't really have a face, immediately after he braced for the impact, getting blasted and landing a distance away Levi immediately took into the air, disabling both his swords and flying with no wings!

It was the ability of the eastern dragon he subjugated, he could use his ability to fly without needing to turn into him.

High in the air, Levi could observe the situation more clearly, and he finally understood what had gone wrong.

The rune circle that he had placed not only absorbed energy from Vatuu, but it had also absorbed whatever energy was keeping him trapped, hence undoing the seal on him.

Levi had an ugly look on his face as he came to that realization, "Things just hit the fucking fan." he said.

Freeing Vaatu not only ruined any knowledge of the future he might have had but he might have just doomed the entire world into absolute darkness and suffering.

"I need to seal him again." thought Levi with a dark look on his face, he didn't know how he could do it but he still had to try anyhow.

As for Vaatu, he was running around in a circle and laughing maniacally at the top of his lungs ignoring Levi and Acnologia entirely, he obviously didn't see them as a threat.

With a cold smile at the side of his lips Levi spoke to Acnologia who was also hovering beside him in his shining golden armor, "See that buddy? Apparently he isn't taking us seriously at all, how about we change his mind."

Getting an affirmative reply from Acnologia Levi summoned a golden bow and arrow, Vaatu who was on the ground even stopped celebrating, seemingly feeling the threat that the bow and arrow posed to him, but what Levi didn't next was completely out of his expectations.

Levi didn't aim his way but instead he aimed straight at the sky above! Enhancing the arrow with as much Ethereal force as he could, Levi could feel his Chi reserves plummeting by the second, but he didn't stop, he wanted to make this arrow as strong as possible, finally he fired it, the arrow flew straight into the sky before disappearing

[Ding]

[-3000 Chi points]

A screen popped off in front of Levi that only he could see, looking at the deducted Chi points his heart ached, but he knew that it was worth it nonetheless, sadly he couldn't use this attack repeatedly.

Nothing happened for a long time making Vaatu confused, "Hahaha, Did you humans devolve while I was locked away, what was the point of that attac…." but before he could finish his speech a bright golden light exploded in the sky.

It was as if the sun had just appeared in the sky out of nowhere, and right after it golden rain started falling.

"What is that? Rain?." questioned Vaatu with a calm tone of voice, still confused by what was happening, "WAIT NO." but he seemed to catch on quickly as he shouted with a panicked tone while quickly trying to slither out of the way of the rain.

Sadly for him, it was too late, countless arrows came raining down on top of him blocking every path of escape he could think of, penetrating every part of his body and pinning him to the ground.

It kept going like that with arrows raining continuously and Vaatu screaming nonstop, unable to escape.

Levi and Acnologia were positioned perfectly, just right out of the arrow rain, but Levi wasn't happy, he knew that although this would indeed deal a blow to the dark entity it wasn't nearly enough to incapacitate him. If he ever hopes to seal him back up again he needs him to be much weaker than he is now.
