Against The Gods With An Anime System

Chapter 53 - Looking for the Dragon God Trial

Previous evening, outside the Blue Wind Imperial City.

The shadow clone that Mesa had sent away on a mission teleported to the same where he and Cang Yue went on their date. From there he went south and headed south, straight for the Wasteland of Death.

A week later he had arrived at the city that was the closest to the Wasteland of Death. Walking in, Mesa wore a complete Akatsuki outfit, with straw hat on his head adorned with tassels. Walking to a random guest inn, Mesa walks up to the counter and books a room for the night.

"I would like one room for the night, please."

The owner barely gives him a look and just tells him that there are no more rooms for the night. Instead of leaving and finding another inn, Mesa takes out a purple profound coin and places it on the counter.

"You were saying?" Said Mesa to which the owner immediately changed his whole attitude towards him.

"Of course sir, I will make sure a room is available for you immediately! Please, just give me a minute!" said the owner as he ran upstairs. While this was happening, a group of mercenaries, who were drinking in the bar, were looking at this whole exchange and were having a look of greed on their faces. As they got up, everyone in the inn was looking at Mesa with pity in their eyes.

'That stupid idiot, he should have known not to flaunt his money around in this place.'

'Poor guy, he just arrived and he already has the attention of the strongest mercenary group in the city.'

'Well, well, well, looks like tonight is gonna get interesting. Wonder how much they're going to rough him up before he gives up everything he has.'

As this group of mercenaries closed in on Mesa, who still didn't turn around, they surrounded him. Just as the leader stepped forward to demand Mesa give up all his belongings to them, all his henchman suddenly just dropped to the floor, completely out cold. As the leader was stunned at his henchmen getting knocked out, Mesa turns around and tilts his head so that his eyes are just barely visible from under his straw hat and puts the leader under a genjutsu, putting him through the worst nightmares imaginable, reducing him to a sniveling mess of a man, covered in snot, tears and reeking of piss. Looking over the rest of the guests in the inn, Mesa gives everyone a warning.

"Anyone else wanna have a go at me?" Said Mesa as everyone in the inn got scared shitless and averted their gazes from Mesa. It was at this point that the inn owner had returned and placed a key on the counter.

"Good sir, your room ready. Your room number is 211. It is on the second floor and to the right all the way the back of the hall."

"Thank you." Said Mesa as he picked up the key and left for room for the night. Once he got in his room, he just went straight to bed and didn't even bother with anything else. The next morning, he got up pretty late and left the inn to go to the Wasteland of Death.

Walking around town, he attracted many gazes, since he wore his Akatsuki coat with the straw hat on his head, he was an attraction to many in the town who had never seen such clothes. But Mesa didn't bother with any of it and just kept going to the Wasteland of Death. An hour later he crossed the entrance and was officially inside. The Wasteland of Death looked like a savannah, with its dry withered grass everywhere, with patches of forest here and there, the rugged terrain that dominates the landscape and groups of practitioners walking around.

Mesa was walking around with the Yamato in hand, searching for the Azure Dragon God Trial, making sure to stay well away from everyone else who wanted him to join their groups and explore the Wasteland together. And every time a profound beast would show up to fight him, he would cut it down so blindingly fast with the Yamato, that it just looked like he just unsheathed it and immediately sheathed it back and the profound beast would be cut in pieces. He was assaulted by a group of ten wolves that surrounded him and circled him for an opportunity to attack. Keeping calm at all times, Mesa just calmly placed his right hand on the Yamato's handle and waited, staring at the wolves with an eagle like gaze. As the standoff continued, two wolves who were behind Mesa pounced on him, instead of turning around, he kept his hand on the Yamato and his gaze forward. As the two wolves closed, they jumped, with claws extended and fangs exposed, ready to bite him and hold him down for the rest of the pack to join in. But instead, they fazed right through him, Mesa immediately drew his sword and with one slash, bisected both wolves. He sheathed the Yamato and appears in front of the other wolves, who pounce on him but he runs away. As the wolves keep chasing him, he runs in such a way as to keep the wolves as close as possible to each other. Turning around, it looked like Mesa quickly unsheathed and sheathed the Yamato. But what happened next was astonishing.

JUDGEMENT CUT.

Using the Yamato's space cutting properties, Mesa created a spatial distortion of purple energy that encompassed the entire group of wolves and in this spatial distortion, sword slashes that shined with an intense blue glow covered the area of the spatial distortion, cutting all the wolves to pieces in one fell swoop. Turning around, he continued his journey.

"Hey Ddraig, can you sense the direction of that Azure Dragon God's trial?" Asked Mesa as the Boosted Gear appeared on his hand.

"Yes partner. I can sense an immense amount of draconic power emanating from 10 o'clock direction. Probably some 300 to 400 km in. But I can also sense two other dragons near it, but they won't be a problem for you." said Ddraig.

"Thanks Ddraig, can you keep me posted if I veer off course?"

"Sure, no problem partner."

And so Mesa travelled in the direction Ddraig told him. Occasionally he would veer of course because of the difficult terrain and Ddraig would then steer him back on the right course. On the way there, he would be assaulted by many different kinds of profound beasts.

Once he was being assaulted by a 5 m tall bear with flaming fur called a Flame Bear. These Flame Bears would catch their prey by using their immense bulk and engulf it. Then they would use their flaming fur to burn their prey to death before devouring them whole, leaving not even their bones behind. This Flame Bear tried to sneak up on Mesa from behind. Just as the Flame Bear got to within 15 feet of Mesa, he suddenly disappeared and the next thing, Mesa appeared right next to the Flame Bear and delivered a devastating Tremor punch straight on top of its head and pounded it straight into the ground, killing it instantly.

Another time, he was in a forest, jumping from tree branch to tree branch, when he attacked with arrows from all sides. Upon closer inspection, the areas that were hit with these arrows started dissolving, suggesting that the arrows were actually toxic acid attacks. Looking around in the trees, Mesa could see that he was surrounded by giant Basilisks that inhabited the tree tops. Making the Snake-hand seal.

WOOD STYLE: WOOD CLONE JUTSU

Next to every Basilisk in the treetops a wood clone of Mesa sprang out of the tree right next to it and killed every Basilisk by using the Chidori to pierce through their hearts. And so, Mesa continued his journey, until eventually he made it to the cave. And there he saw them, at a distance of 5 km he could see two silver colored dragons guarding a cave opening, at this moment the dragons were sleeping. Having his orders to follow, Mesa placed a Flying Raijin marking on the ground and on the trees before he dissipated, having fulfilled his job.

Back to the present, inside their house in the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range.

Mesa was lying in bed, having just tucked in Chu Yuechan, who fell asleep on the couch downstairs, just thinking.

'Alright, let's see. I told Chu Yuechan when I met her that I would be able to erase those pesky side effects from cultivating the Frozen Cloud Arts. So, which ice-power would be best to give to Chu Yuechan. I could give Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit from One Piece, or Esdeath's Demon's Extract from Akame Ga Kill, or Ice-magic from some other anime. Hmmm….. what to choose, what to choose….. AHA, I got it!'

['JARVIS, can you buy both Ice-magic and Ice-Make magic from Fairy Tail series']

["Of course sir, that will be 2.000.000 system credits for the Ice-magic and 500.000 system credits for Ice-Make magic."]

After the information about Ice-magic and Ice-Make magic had flowed into his mind, Mesa went to work making it to suit his need to give it to Chu Yuechan.

The Next Morning.

Mesa came down the stairs, still yawning and stretching out after he just woke up, walking into the living room he saw that Chu Yuechan was still asleep on the couch. What was funnier was that she had a grin on her face and some drool running down face. Looking at her, Mesa couldn't help but smile at huge contrast between the proud and elegant Chu Yuechan when she is awake and the drooling, smiling mess she is when asleep. Since it was time to make some breakfast, Mesa went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for the both of them. Settling on a standard breakfast consisting of an omelet, croissants with chocolate filling, orange juice and coffee.

After he was done making breakfast and setting the table, he went to wake up Chu Yuechan. Shaking her lightly, he called out to her: "Come on Little Fairy, wake up. I made breakfast for us. Wake up before it gets cold."

After a short while, Chu Yuechan opens her eyes and looks around confusedly and meets Mesa's gaze, who was pointing to the side of his mouth while saying: "You've… got a… little something… there."

As Chu Yuechan touches the side of her own mouth, she realizes that she has been drooling in her sleep and becomes as red as tomato from embarrassment. Getting up quickly, Mesa quickly leaves the room while telling her: "Ok, I am out of here. I have made breakfast. If you go upstairs, the room at the right side is yours, freshen yourself up and come down for breakfast before it gets cold."

A few seconds after he is back in the kitchen, Mesa hears loud footsteps on the stairs and just shakes his head.

"Haah… women. An elegant beauty one moment and a drooling, embarrassed mess the next." Mumbled Mesa to himself as he was making his cup of coffee. A few minutes later, Chu Yuechan joined him at the dinner table, but she didn't dare look up and just started eating her breakfast without saying a word.

"So… did you well sleep last night? I think you did, seeing as how you were out for at least 14 hours." Said Mesa causing Chu Yuechan to stop eating and look at him with a bewildered look.

"14 Hours?!" Chu Yuechan asked bewildered.

"Yes, 14 hours at least. It is now around 11 am. We gotten on the couch yesterday at around 7 pm and a few hours later we fell asleep there. So let's say, we were sitting on the couch for… about 2 hours before we fell asleep. That would make it 14 hours of continues sleep you've had on that couch. Either you haven't been having a lot of sleep lately or you are just really, REALLY like to sleep a lot." Said Mesa as he took a sip of his coffee while looking Chu Yuechan in the eyes. Chu Yuechan instead, averts her eyes again, flushed red and just continues eating.

"Well, after your done eating, come outside. Remember what I told you one month ago; that I would find a way to remove those pesky side effects of cultivating the Frozen Cloud Arts. Well, I have found a way and you my dear, are going to be the first one to experience it." Said Mesa with a smile to Chu Yuechan who was looking at him in shock. Mesa got up and left the kitchen to go outside with his coffee mug in hand.

"Just take your time and enjoy your breakfast. I will see you outside and once you're done, leave the dishes in the sink. I'll take care of it myself."
