Chapter 117: Oh, God Damn it!!!
~Silva K. POV~
Following the man later to nighttime I finally saw the Main Guild Building of the dark guild, Naked Mummy silently away in a safe distance using Spectator to view the events happening from afar.
Using my enhanced senses, I listen to their conversation about needing the money for the tribute for the Oracion Seis in the upcoming days causing me to furrow my eyes at the news.
I expected it to happen soon after the events of the Battle of Fairy Tail to cool down but this soon?
That's certainly going to cause some unforeseen problems in the future.
Finding their base at the very least I can at least take care of their members here and now. No need for extra small fries to interfere in the future but I'm also interested in who's coming to collect the tribute though…
The Oración Seis is a Dark Guild comprised of six incredibly powerful Mages. It formed a third of the Balam Alliance.
As a member of the Balam Alliance, Oración Seis possessed incredible Magic power at its disposal. The six members of the Oración Seis alone supported a third of the entire Balam Alliance, which controlled virtually all the Dark Guilds.
It was stated that every single member of Oración Seis was strong enough to take down an entire guild.
Thus, for members of the Oracion Seis to get their tribute from Naked Mummy they would need someone from their group to deliver the tribute to them but –
*WOOSH*
Pausing a bit I noticed a dust cloud heading over to them while I took a closer look at the man running towards the Naked Mummy Guild with narrowed eyes at him.
<Observe>.
[Sawyer (Racer) Lv.200 Oración Seis]
Interesting…
Judging by the info of the name he must be Racer or rather his real name Sawyer one of their members.
Sawyer is a very tall, long-faced man with blond and black hair; the blonde, central part of his hair is styled in a long, spiky mohawk, and the black portion is very close-shaven. He possesses similarly blond, extremely long eyebrows jutting outwards, a long, hooked, and prominent nose, and a reduced Glasgow smile; he wears a rather large, reinforced chin guard which is covered in small, rectangular holes on the edges, that extend upwards to his green-tinted sunglasses.
His outfit consists of a red and white racing suit. The jacket, which is predominantly red in color, with white parts on top of the shoulders and on the sleeves, is emblazoned with many writings and logos: in the center of its chest are the name and symbol of Sawyer's guild, with a small, winged boot-like. His outfit is completed by a pair of white gloves with red fingers, each bearing the Oración Seis' symbol in a square on the back of the hand, and by dark running shoes. Under his jacket, Sawyer wears a simple, light-colored A-shirt.
Listening intently to their conversation I soon got the information of their due date when their plans, "Alright then Zato be sure to be prepared on November 7. When the time is right the day when light is finally extinguished. More details will be explained when the day comes."
My ears perked up listening to the news…
November 7 huh?
Why does it have to do with 7-something in this world?
Regardless though it seems like November 7 is when the Oración Seis Arc will be fully operational.
Hmm…
Thinking things over it's best to leave this be. Shame I can't fight them off if I did that would bring some bad news to the guild since the Ballam Alliance could see it as an attack to wipe us out.
And the guild at this current time is nowhere near that kind of strength to brush them off, but this will prove to be important for the Guild Master to learn of the news.
It's getting late already best to inform the Master tomorrow of the news.
After waiting a bit to see Racer finally leave viewing him using his Slow Magic I used Shambhala to escape back into my apartment room and inform the master about this in the morning to do something about this.
Best to be safe than sorry.

[October 24, X784]
*Knock*
"Come in my child!"
Knocking on the Guild Master door as soon as possible in the morning I entered inside greeting Makarov, "Morning Master Makarov. Sorry if I came in too early in the morning before your ale sir."
He merely shrugged finishing up some stacks of paper as he yawned wiping his eye, "Ahhh… yeah, yeah I get it brat. So, what's with you greeting me before I get my morning mug of booze."
Expressing a serious look and getting Makarov's attention I showed him using my Archive Magic of my own memory viewing the events happening yesterday getting Makarov's eyes to narrow at the video feed.
And even provided that using my <Observe> skill and meta knowledge the Oración Seis are planning on using a Magic Tool called Nirvana as a heads up with the magic power called editing.
This could put a wrench in the Dark Guilds plans but at the very least give everyone the time to prep and plan accordingly to the news.
When everything was done Makarov pinches the bridges of his nose before letting go finally speaking up in a stern tone, "I see… it seems like things are happening in the Magical World with one of the members of the Ballam Alliance acting up… what's worse they are even trying to obtain a forbidden Magic like Nirvana hmm…"
He pauses for a minute processing the information I provided before finally giving me an answer in a serious tone, "Hmm… for now my boy I would prefer if you keep this quiet for now. I'll discuss this with the Magic Council and other legal Guilds to form an alliance of sorts in response to these latest events happening within the Ballam Alliance. For now, leave this issue for me to handle."
Shooing me I nodded in understanding informing the Master that this was the right call for them to formulate a strategy to counter them.
Exiting the guild Master's office I began to take a few turns around seeing some of the guild members coming inside with Mira already working on the behind-the-table work as a Bar Mistress.
Heading towards her greeting her in a happy tone greeting her in the morning, "Morning Mira how you are doing today?"
Her eyes looked towards mine followed by a smile responding to my greetings returning with a friendly tone, "Doing well Silva. From what I heard over yesterday Team Natsu found you working with Lucy dealing with those Naked Mummy members. Must have been a stressful experience fighting and saving the folks. Care for a mug of juice it's on the house?"
Nodding for the free juice Mira handed it to me as I replied in a friendly manner of the whole situation, "Yeah. Had to be careful with Lucy taking care in long-range and me in close-range fighting. By the way, I haven't seen the usual team Natsu or Juvia any idea where they went today by chance?"
Mira nodded explaining to me in a neutral tone of where the others are currently at this moment, "Yeah. Team Natsu is taking a week to help a former Magic Council member restaurant. Juvia and Gajeel are both on a job currently dealing with a Dark Guild and won't be back till a week later as well. Why miss your girlfriends you sly horn dog you?"
Jabbing at me in the chest I merely raised a mental eyebrow choosing to ignore her teasing or rise out of me replying, "I have no idea what you mean. But besides that, though are there any jobs you think I could –"
"Hey, you!!"
Of course…
Can't have one normal day without something popping up or someone yelling at me today.
Just can't have that now, can I?
Turning around to greet whoever it was to call me –
Oh?
My eyes widen a bit slightly to see Simon is alright but the person next to him certainly looks like someone I should know.
She is a young, slim, large-busted teenager, with long, straight black hair that falls to the middle of her back. It is cut in the traditional Japanese princess style. She also has brown eyes along with an outfit like that of a samurai clothing Japanese style…
But seeing Simon I expressed a smile at the man raising my mug of juice getting his attention greeting him, "Nice to see you, Simon. Glad to see my help bearded fruit. I'm guessing the kid next to you is Kagura Mikazuchi?"
He nodded as he introduced his little sister to me looking to be 17 or 16 years old formally greeting each other, "Yeah. This here is my little sister the one we got separated after a long time apart. Kagura this man here is Silva the guy that helped me find you. And the one who helped us get reunited."
Kagura has this calm and relaxed around her as she does a small bow thanking me for assisting in reconnecting her brother, "Thank you very much Silva-san. If it wasn't for you and Erza's group I wouldn't have the chance to reconnect with my brother again. As such you have my thanks…"
Ah…
Ain't she just a sweet bean –
However, before I could finish my thoughts Kagura also demanded something from me causing me to almost drop my mug, "But I would please ask you to drop any relationships you have with Erza-san. For you see my Onee-chan –Pfft!"
Sorry, what?
Blinking at this Simon quickly shut her mouth covering it with his hands and scolding Kagura with an evident blush on his face trying to cover up, "Now!! Now Kagura…! We discussed this before –"
Before he could continue Kagura managed to get free from Simon's grasp as she yelled pouting for him to let go of the love of his life like that with me raising an eyebrow, "But Onee-chan! It was you who loved Erza first and it wouldn't be right if you let someone else take her away from you!! Thus, as your younger sister, it's my duty to uphold your Chasity honor to the right girl!!!"
The actual fuck Simon, "Pfft…!"
I did a spit take as Simon staggered to find the right words. Mira laughed at my predicament tears coming out from her eyes in pure enjoyment, "Ahahaha!!! I know I heard it's the older siblings that worry about that but no other way around…!! Hahaha!!!"
Why god?
Why Being X?
Are you somehow responsible for manipulating fate to cause such a scenario to occur right before my very eyes…
Kagura soon eyes Mira as she has a mischief glint in her eyes…
Oh no…
She wouldn't…!
No wait she would…
And to see and believe Mira told Kagura the news that Erza won't be returning till a week later getting her attention, "You know Kagura-chan? Erza and her team won't be back in a week so why not come back and duel for Erza's hand for your older brother? Hmmm…?"
Oh, this little minx bitch…!!
Kagura merely nodded in agreement dragging her older brother much to dismay she had no real voice in Kagura's words challenging me to a duel in a week's time, "Very well then. Thank you, Mira-san. Silva next week when Erza returns, I will challenge you to let go of your relationship with Erza along with her hand that belongs rightfully to Simon's hand by the rule of first come first serve!! Best be prepared…!!!"
Stomping away dragging Simon I couldn't help but voice out in confusion and somehow defeated tone, "Don't I get any say in this mess…? Like how the heck did I get a duel all of a sudden?"
Mira the conniving minx had a gremlin smug on her face with a simple word, "Nope."
Glaring behind her head she merely returned to her normal Head Maid or Bar Mistress duties as the Guild members that were here only shook their heads while others laughed at my predicament.
When did suddenly doing good things bring me this?
[Ding!]

Chapter 118: Mana Techniques
~Silva K. POV~
Training my skills, I focused on creating some Magic Skills. Thus, I decided to check my memory of what series I should rip off to make my own.
Hey, creation is hard.
Regardless though after searching a few pieces of literature from my world I found one that might work best for me.
Simple and easy in my area of managing my Mana. Overviewing my memory, I found one that made me smirk.
One from a Manhwa that has great expressions from the greedy protagonist from what I recall is named The Greatest Estate Developer specifically his butler.
They used something like Manaheart to pass their Mana to their bodies but my Mana Reinforcement already does that step every time I head towards battle.
But if I imagine it building up the Mana condensed to where my heart is located or this case my Gate that channels my Mana…
Although imagining that my heart holding my Mana would be easier for me to imagine.
*Bwp*
*Bwp*
Focusing the mana condensing I feel a slight change in my breathing as if I was enhanced or rather energized.
It honestly feels amazing actually.
That should be a good sign, right?
[Ding!]
[Due to the heart's continuous exposure to Mana from the air beating as one to the player's life a skill has been created for the heart to store Mana and increase MP for the future has been learned!]
[Skill: <Manaheart> is learned!]
Oh?
Didn't know I would gain a new skill as a result of this but good to know regardless.
So, I can increase my MP in the future huh?
Great.
Proving my point my heart shone blue light, I smirked beginning the next step. The next phase is trying to take the Mana from the outside and enter through me how my Gate does but instead of absorbing inside my Manaheart, it would probably make my heart blow up.
I need my heart to live so I need to view this differently. Instead of fusing the outside Mana into my Manaheart, I should begin condensing it separately nearby and using it around my heart, on the outside.
Applying this principle to my outside body I should theoretically move any outside enemy Magic Power forces away doing so.
It's like having an auxiliary engine next to the main engine sort of. As if they're one, but also separate while maintaining the Mana absorption from the outside.
*Shiii*
Seeing the flashing light circling around my heart I recognize it as my mana smirking at the skill being used.
[Ding!]
[Due to manipulating your own Mana and the outside Mana around the user forming a mana circle around the heart a skill has been created!]
[Skill: <Asrahan Core Technique> is learned!]
Perfect!
[Ding!]
[Due to your current level of 49, you can now summon up to Quadruple Heart Circles!]
[Ding!]
[Due to having the <Asrahan Core Technique> and great mastery control over Mana your physical and magical based power has been empowered due to the Quadruple Heart Circles around the host Manaheart!]
[Single Heart Circle 1% to all Stats but LUCK!]
[Double Heart Circles 1% to all Stats but LUCK!]
[Triple Heart Circles 1% to all Stats but LUCK!]
[Quadruple Heart Circle 1% to all Stats but LUCK!]
Whoa!!
My eyes widen seeing the perks I gained just but learning the <Asrahan Core Technique> having Quadruple Heart Circles surrounding my heart.
Actually…
Taking time to notice them I feel way more energized than before now than I have previously in the past.
My senses can tell that having <Manaheart> skill is a very good thing I feel Mana in the air pass through my throat to my lungs to my blood then finally my heart pumping the pureness of Mana circulating through my body.
It honestly feels a bit overbearing but hey a power-up is a power-up for me.
Now to see what they can do for me.
Skill List.
----
<Manaheart> (Passive) Lv. 1/100 EXP: 0.0%
Description: You can store a high concentration of Mana into your heart. Doing this process can make the user have more MP in the future and increase Mana-based attacks. To train this skill one must passively absorb Mana into the heart to store more MP.
-Gain 10,000 MP when reaching the MAX level.
-Increase attack speed, attack power, STR, AGI, VIT, and SEN by 1%. Increase by 1% per every level 10 of this skill.
<Asrahan Core Technique> (Active/Passive) Lv. 49/To the current level of the Player.
Description: By absorbing mana from the user's surroundings, the user can condense this energy in a separate circle around his <Manaheart> for one circle represents every 10 levels providing buffs dependent on the caster's current level.
If a Magic attack is thrown at the Caster and can prepare, they can merely absorb the Mana from the Magic attack effectively neutralizing it so long as the Caster is prepared. Currently, at Lv.49 can create up to 4 Heart Circles.
-Per every Heart Circle passively increase 1% to all Stats but LUCK
----
I could only grin happily trying this idea now and couldn't be happier because of it. Having this will guarantee me having better chances in the future to survive while leveling up my will grant me perks thanks to the <Asrahan Core Technique> granting me Heart Circles for me to use.
Time to test out some other applications taking a stabbing stance with my Hrunting drawn at a nearby tree in amusement, "Now then… let's see if doing this correctly I can create Mana Blast… time to test it out."
Best to start this off since I don't know how powerful it would become if I used all 3. It would be best to start off at 2 for now.
Focusing one of my Heart Circles to protect the main Manaheart and using the 2 Heart Circles of mine are smashed together while channeling this smashed Mana through my body to my arm and then to my blade as I began to thrust forward unleashing the collision of 2 Heart Circles out of my body…
*Woosh*
*Flash*
Releasing a flash of power radiating a crimson red power shot off from Hrunting pointing it towards the nearby trees resulting in an explosion destroying the innocent forest trees without mercy.
*KA-BOOM*
Leaving substantial damage in its wake as the trees were completely uprooted I gazed at my sword unleashing a long-range attack with some concern feeling my twitching, "Haha… that's a bit overkill… should practice more before becoming useable for battle. But the damage is certainly something that's for sure."
[Ding!]
[By reserving one of these circles to protect the user's heart and allowing the others to collide resulting in an explosion a skill has been generated!]
[Skill: <Mana Blast> is learned!]
Smirking at this there is much work to be done.
The grind doesn't stop, and neither will I!
/////
[October 30, X784]
6 days have come and gone ever since I got challenged by Kagura for the supposed hand of Erza Scarlet when they finally returned after a job. Leaving me with one day left before the supposed challenge to come.
Thus like any reasonable person, I decided to trust and true method…
The Grind also trained my Mana Absorption skill <Asrahan Core Technique> to get a better understanding of absorbing Mana. Through tireless efforts, I have felt it, every day while I train in absorbing Mana.
There are different types of Mana in the natural world, all with different properties.
*Fwooosh*
Feeling the mana coursing through me I take that…
And change it how I usually feel and use Magic I would be able to feel the Mana change directly into the element I desire.
Turning to my blade I began to use the original offensive skill I had first come to this world and improve it further.
<Mana Burst>.
Infusing my Mana into my Hrunting blade I began to test some things out with it changing how my <Mana Burst> functions with some trial and error using the <Asrahan Core Technique>.
I will absorb the elements within man while charging Mana Burst in the process only leaving one kind of element to take effect…
*Brrr*
Absorbing all kinds of elements within the mana except for fire mana I see the effects change as the condensed blue mana turned into the pure fiery form of Mana Burst leaving a fire or flame effect burning the mana nearby like oil to fire fueling it.
[Ding!]
[By absorbing the Mana Burst within leaving only the element of Fire a skill has been generated to create a to make Mana Burst have fire properties!]
[Skill: <Mana Burst (Fire)> is learned!]
Perfect.
Canceling out my <Mana Burst (Fire)> leaves me with more opportunities to expand this skill further with elements in play for me to use.
I wonder if combining that with my <Mana Blast> would be deadly or banned if I tried?
Hmm…
Best to keep those ideas to myself considering <Mana Blast> works freely without wasting my own MP since I draw it from outside Mana sources rather than my own.
Time to see my progress and the new skills I developed.
Skill List.
----
<Mana Blast> (Active) Lv. 15/100 EXP: 0.0%
Description: By reserving one of these heart circles to protect the user's own heart and allowing the others to collide, the user is able to create an explosion and harness this impact to create a destructive mana blast from the tip of his sword or from the palms of his hands.
<Mana Blast Slice> (Active) Lv. 10/100 EXP: 0.0%
Description: The user is also able to harness this explosive energy and concentrate it around their blade, allowing the caster to make an empowered slash rather than an uncontrolled explosion.
<Mana Chainsaw> (Active) Lv. 10/100 EXP: 0.0%
Description: By focusing on speed rather than sheer destructive force, the caster is able to manifest an extremely high-frequency rotation of mana that functions similarly to a chainsaw in action.
<Mana Burst (Fire)> (Active) Lv. 1/100 EXP: 0.0%
MP Cost: Varies
Description: This is a version of the <Mana Burst> skill that infuses weapons with Magical Energy that imparts a flame effect.
----
These skills will work well against a highly skilled group of people after me. Something to prepare myself when the attack of the Oración Seis while dealing with their minions.
It might not be exact but will be effective in preparing myself to do in what judgment moves to make when the attack happens.
That and having a long-range attack I can spam does come in handy the more I train the more powerful they will become.
Must try it out with some of my <Mana Burst> skill gaining elemental effects for better range in situations against the elements.
There is still some time to create elemental-based <Mana Burst> skills but for now, I should focus on what I can do and improve from here.
For now, though I should return to practicing increasing my fighting skills in the future. No time like grinding to make me feel happy.I can experiment with testing what elements to add on later.
The time for the grind is now!!!
Bring it on!!!
