Chapter 140: Edolas (2)
~Silva K. POV~
I'm sorry but what?
Blinking surprised by this I didn't expect someone from this world to even know about me or that I'm from another world nor did I expect to be caught by someone with the title of Dragon God in her name to boot.
Regaining my bearings again seeing that denying would be pointless judging from her heartbeat I remained on guard genuinely curious how she knew, "That's a first… then again I never did reveal myself from another world but out my curiosity's sake how did you come about it?"
I felt 3 heated intents directed at me till they calmed down as Selene raised her hand signaling them to stop requested of them along with answering my questions, "My Moonlights stop. This is a matter between us otherworlders. As for your answer Silva, I hope you can answer some of my own. I merely witnessed your arrival on that peculiar summon circle by those Zeref cultists."
My eyes narrowed not letting my guard down as her bodyguards left tapping her hand for me to sit down.
Knowing best not to get on her bad side I followed sitting down. Not wanting to beat around the bush I immediately went right down to the business of my purpose being summoned here in a respectful tone, "Alright then lady. It's not like I have any better options right now but since I asked first it's only fair you get your question."
She smiled sweetly at this clearing her voice and responding to my answer taking a sip of her cup of sake in the process, "Ahh… at least you are gentleman from most of your kind. You're better than that old fool Elefseria or his allies. To begin I want to ask what was that Dragon that brought you here to begin things shall we?"
Nodding at this I agreed activating my Judgement Field and explaining it so that we both get what we want no lies weaved or intended in a clear tone, "Very well. But you don't mind if I activate my Judgement Field. Can't have any tattle tales or bad info exchanged right?"
*Shiii*
Judging her reaction she didn't show any dissatisfaction only agreeing with my words, "No. By all means, go ahead."
Seeing no dissatisfaction or anything I replied seeing no harm in trading information between the both of us for now, "From what I can gather you can say he's someone like me but race. The title alone is called the God of Games."
I didn't say [THE GAMER] because I doubt, she would get it. And seeing the bemused expression on her face it seemed like she found something odd or not.
Regardless though it was my turn to ask the obvious question with much restrained anger seething through my mouth, "Now then… it's my turn, Selene. Why did you take me when I was attempting to stop Anima at the most crucial moment saving my friends and family…"
Noticing my anger she merely replied in a neutral tone expressing her genuine honesty, "The only sole reason was to distract that God of Games you proclaim snatching you for myself robbing you of your infinite Magic Power."
This made me pause at the implications of what she said…
Was I always watched from the beginning or did Jack really stay around that long for her to not pull this stunt?
Many thoughts and questions arise in my head but no real answer to any of them. Much to my bitter frustration.
No that shouldn't be the reason why I'm concerned I can handle that later. Worry about the current situation at hand first.
Accepting the answer for now I began to ask the next important question after hearing her response to my prior question, "Why haven't you yet then? You have me within your grasp you could do it with your power unless…"
Her eyes said it all as I didn't notice this before they were alerted darting in one direction towards the moon.
I couldn't see how far or tell but something told me his watching our conversation as Selene only confirmed this with me right now her tone shifted with a slight quiver, "You already know why-y I haven't now? Or can't you tell his presence-e from afar? You could say he interfered by gazing at me transporting you outside my temple in Oni-Ga-Tsuki-i."
Ah…
Seems like Jack caught on to Selene's attempt to act upon witnessing the events unfold. My transfer from the bottom of the mountain must have caused her to accidentally transfer me to the bottom of Blackmoon Mountain rather than her temple.
Seeing him watching us I felt a lot better having the impending sense of doom avoided for now with his presence acting as a deterrent which leaves me with how to use this situation to my advantage…
Wait no.
Mentally thinking this through she hasn't exactly explained why she needed me to begin with…
However, it was her turn to ask the next question seeing she already answered my own regaining her composure in a calm tone, "Ahem! My turn dear Knight. Moving on I want to know if you ever heard of Acnologia."
Her voice shifted with coldness and fear coming out of her mouth when the name Acnologia was mentioned.
I confirmed with her on I knew of his existence and my plans to deal with him in the future in a serious tone, "Yeah. The fabled Dragon King, the Black Dragon of Apocalypse. I heard and knew of him. I hopefully plan to kill the bastard myself in the future."
Genuine surprise flashed on her face but she hardened at my claims wanting confirmation of my words in a serious tone, "Really? Most tried and they all died? What do you think you have the chances you can?"
Hearing her question I didn't have an answer for that one honestly as I replied to the truth currently, I'm not strong enough to say, "None at this current time. Maybe in the near future, I could with my infinite Magic Power but I'm still inexperienced in using it to be of any use to consider."
Selene's gaze hardened at me before finally acknowledging that fact as she crossed her arms at my predicament, "Perhaps… I've seen first-hand how fast you've grown. For human standards, impressive if given enough time you could…"
She trailed off in her own thoughts keeping her guard up before finally relenting as she responded to me in a serious tone, "Seeing that you have been quite cooperative do you consider possibly forming an alliance between merely the both of us in planning Acnologia's demise."
That threw me for a loop.
But then began her explanation giving her idea of an alliance between us giving her solid ground to place her idea, "Considering the power of this God of Games providing you with Magic Tools out of this world… you might be my best shot dealing against Acnologia. What say you human from another world?"
Closing my eyes considering the idea…
While I hate her guts for dragging me along perhaps my LUCK stat did provide me something genuinely good from this encounter.
A person mad enough to continue picking a fight against the Dragon of Apocalypse. You don't see or find those kinds of people anymore apart from Zeref.
Then again though Zeref only wanted Fairy Heart to travel back into the past to kill Acnologia straight up while he was in a weakened state.
Thus, he as an ally fighting the Dragon was a useless endeavor but she on the other hand. Selene has legitimate reasons to hate Acnologia wanting him gone and possibly insane enough to request assistance.
Probably not directly but having a Moon Dragon that can travel between dimensions could have its uses, especially during the war in the coming future.
I despise her nature and personality, but finding an ally like this would be near impossible and can provide me support when the time comes.
Reluctantly though I agreed seeing I won't get a chance like this in the future sighing out and agreeing to her alliance for the time being responding, "As much as I hate your guts bringing me here against my will… I won't let my hate blind me to an advantage here. So yeah, you have your alliance, Moon Dragon Selene."
She merely smiled at this soon taking out 2 Skill Books with names attached immediately getting my attention to her words in a soft tone, "I very well hope so Silva Knight. As an apology I have gathered these two books for you to use. I've seen you convert books into useable spells or skills. These will certainly help you in the future."
Tapping the Skill Books in question 2 names were brought up surprising me on how she managed to get them.
[You obtained the skill book 'Galaxia Blade.' Would you like to learn this skill?]
[You obtained the skill book 'Meteor Blade.' Would you like to learn this skill?]
The first two are from the Celestial Spirit King's skills. I recognized them anywhere as I couldn't help but ask in shock, "What?!! How the heck did you even!! What…?!!"
Selene merely waved her hand off as I deactivated Judgement Field from her words in a determined tone, "These? That old buffoon in the Celestial Spirit World wasn't using them collecting dust. It best someone with a blade like you use them."
I looked at her shocked as she chuckled at my expression not minding me having two skills that belong to a ruler of his dimension in a neutral tone, "Hahaha!! I can see why most members want to see that miserable shocked face. Think of it as trust between the both of us. We can't have trust if we doubt each other now don't we comrade?"
It feels weird having a Moon Dragon God calling me an ally but she's also hot and sexy as well easily beating all other girls I know in the looks and development department.
But her personality and possibly past war crimes are a big turn-off to me.
Regaining my focus Selene gave me her word to send me to Edolas with mild amusement in her tone, "I simply wish to see how entertaining your life will become young man. It's certainly given me much earned entertainment over the years viewing the rise of new heroes or legends in the making. I'll open the path needed to reach Edolas in the next parallel world to Elentear. After all, you might be my best weapon against Acnologia and others…"
Leaving the last part hiding her real mention of Dragon Gods, I left it be for now considering they would be next on my list after Acnologia dies.
For now, she told me things happening in Edolas that Natsu and co met up with Lucy causing me to sigh in relief giving me a room for the night to recover from the mental exhaustion I gained from this whole trip.
But at least I gained a valuable ally in my fight ahead. Now I should focus on helping the rest of the guys out as soon as I can.
Don't worry everyone I'll be there shortly just hang on for a bit longer…
Chapter 141: Edolas (3)
~Silva K. POV~
[November 23, X784]
Contemplating for a while now I looked at the two skill books with suspicion filled in my heart what Selene's plans for me in the future consist of…
I couldn't very much help but think what she would do after everything has been said and done with…
As much as I got my rest and prepared for war against Edolas the next hard part is the Tenrou Island arc then Acnologia to consider as well…
Should I stay behind when Fairy Sphere activates or join the group?
Each option has the obvious pros and cons to them. Plus, one small issue is that Zeref will be there if I try to use my full power using <Fairy Heart> he would hound me forever if he knew.
The only way by then to hide myself from him would be to join Mavis Fairy Sphere to fool Zeref not into coming after me at least probably not till the end of the Grand Magic Games.
But if I don't go all out against Acnologia having everyone transported away who's to say the Black Dragon won't go after Fiore next because he smelled the Dragon Slayers away or detect them with Magic?
And trust me from personal experience those Dragon Slayer senses are like fucking bloodhounds' excellent sense of smell.
In that case, staying in Fairy Sphere and fooling Acnologia would be the best case for everyone involved including fooling Zeref into believing the group was dead seeing the blast destroy everything, and leaving nothing behind.
Argh…
These are very tough decisions…
Regardless these skill books have their uses and would be ideal for me to gain strength even if the enemy offers them to me.
Grabbing ahold of both the books I see the pop-up screens again viewing them as I agreed without hesitation.
I need all the boost I can get.
[You obtained the skill book 'Galaxia Blade.' Would you like to learn this skill?]
[You obtained the skill book 'Meteor Blade.' Would you like to learn this skill?]
[Ding!]
[You have learned the skill <Galaxia Blade>!]
[Ding!]
[You have learned the skill <Meteor Blade>!]
Skill List.

<Meteor Blade> (Active) Lv. 1/100 Exp: 0.0%
MP Cost: Varies
Description: An immensely powerful offensive technique that the user performs by putting both hands on his sword's hilt and then executing a vertical frontal slash with it by pounding their sword towards the ground.
This motion causes a huge, linear blast to be generated in front of the user, surging up to the sky in height and covering an immensely large area while causing astounding damage, capable of drastically changing the appearance of its elongated point of impact. The more MP put in the greater the power produced.
<Galaxia Blade> (Active) Lv. MAX
MP Cost: Using the remaining/all MP Bar
Description: A technique which the user employs by pointing their sword, held with both hands, towards the sky and then chanting out an incantation as follows:
"Let the 88 Stars of the heaven shine now. Starlight Dreams. Galaxia Blade!!!!"
Finishing the incantation causes the clouds to tear open to engulf the targeted area with a mastodon tic, a circular pillar of light that dispels every Enchantment and Curse inside the area and turns the enemy that used it into a statue of stone.

….
What the hell…?!!
My eyes almost bulged out my eye sockets seeing <Galaxia Blade> can do this much but at the cost of my whole MP bar used up!!
Seriously where did Selene manage to take this from the Celestial Spirit King!!
*Knock*
*Knock*
Before I could be shocked even more one of the ladies that serve Selene opened the door reporting to me Selene to have me leave, "Hello sir Knights. Lady Selene-sama has requested for your presence for your departure."
Holding off my shock I nodded following the lady while heading there I finally decided to choose that item on her.
Using my <Requip> I summoned the item I was saving for a special occasion on one of my main targets I think I should reconsider my choices seeing the chance hiding inside my hand the Blank Card from my previous quest.
With me completing the Edolas Quest I'll choose the Blessed Chest to regain it again wanting it but for now what better target than the spell I would need from the Moon Dragon to travel between dimensions?
Once reaching Selene's room entering through the doors she reveals a portal using <Aqua Aera> announcing to me in an entertained tone, "You have come. This portal shall send you back to your friends."
Walking forward cautiously gazing at the water-made portal and having her back turn I activated the card as it vanished from my hand seeing a pop-up making my selection clear for me only to see that Selene was none the wiser.
[Blank Card has been used on Selene!]
[Choose what skill you wish to gain from Selene:
-Moon Dragon Slayer Magic
-Dragon Force
-Dragonization
-Relocation
-Aqua Aera
…]
[Ding!]
[You have chosen the skill <Aqua Aera>!]
[Skill: <Aqua Aera> has been copied!]

<Aqua Aera> (Active) Lv. 1/100 Exp: 0.0%
MP Cost: Varies
Description: Aqua Aera is a Caster Magic, a type of Spatial Magic and variation of Water Magic which utilizes water as a medium to move between dimensions. The user can warp themselves and choose others in between dimensions or nearby vicinities through a warp portal called Gates.
A condition to warp is for a water medium to be present for use. The user is also able to open portals in mid-air to watch events that are happening within a space of their choosing. Better proficiency at said Magic allows for more accurate warp points.
----
Bingo.
Heading towards the water portal Selene gestured to the entrance with a small nod giving me words of encouragement, "The portal should teleport you into Edolas Royal City. I wish you the best of luck hehehe…"
Equipping onto Incursio armor at the ready to protect myself from depowering my MP I began to enter through the portal thanking Selene for her time despite how short it was, "Thanks for the hospitality then. Now then if you excuse me, I have my friends to save."
*Shiiii*
*Splash*
/////
*Splash*
*Wooosh*
I exited the portal closing and checking my MP bar seeing no drastic changes. I sighed in relief feeling my Magic Power was intact.
Good to know now then what's the scenario like currently…
I began to investigate my surroundings quickly checking my surroundings to see I was at an alleyway in some streets.
How quaint of you Selene.
Equipping Spectator using Clearsight my eyes landed towards the castle of the Royal Capital searching the area till I saw Natsu and Wendy tied up in chains clenching my fist and getting the gist of how far things had gone.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Usually at times like these, I would strategize or play this safe to the best of my abilities infiltrating a castle or an enemy stronghold…
But I'm not gonna do any of that.
Nah.
I need to vent my frustrations and what poor bastards then the royal army of this dimension?
I'm a take a page out of the classic Fairy Tail bible that I forbade myself ever doing like my former members have done before me…
*Shiii*
Summoning my Saber, Archer, Berserker, and Lancer all equipped to rain hell down on my enemies today as I smiled finishing my thoughts out loud in a cold tone, "Sigh… I really tried not to be such a troublemaker or cause property damage unintentionally but… today is a good day to destroy someone's day ain't that right boys?"
My Replica's nodded each brandishing their weapons expressing a smile followed by a dangerous glint in their eyes.
Okay then.
Edolas wants war stealing my family and friends.
Then it's war they shall get.
But…
Whew...
Closing my eyes and exhaling my breath I'm not about to become a murder against them.
Call me soft or not but despite following orders, they are merely trying to survive…
So I'll take a quote from a famous girl's word…
Let's break some legs.
Time to storm the castle.
Before that though…
I think the tactic of confusing my enemies with the power of music is needed. And I know just the song to start up this party opening up my Archive Magic memory and putting my speakers to max volume.
Ah…
An aged-old classic of the TFS era…
TFS Hellsing Ready To Die & Party Party Party soundtrack.
Perfect.
It's a perfect day for a midnight walk.
It's morning so I can walk till we get to midnight stroll and ruin someone's day.
Oh!
An even better idea for that is…
/////
~Third POV~
Sitting down in the war room consisting of Edolas Captains present along with the King and Chief of Staff all began to discuss their plans moving forward.
Byro the Chief of Staff for the Royal Army explained to his fellow Captain Divisions what he discovered in a cheerful tone, "Hesh, hesh, hesh… It ish like the legendsh shay! The Wizards of Earth Land all have magic within them!"
Sugarboy the Captain of the 4th Magic War Division hummed at the news from Byro comparing the captured wizards to the Exceed in a curious tone, "Mmm… it's almost like they're Exceed."
Byro agreed with Sugarboy's claim but explained happily which of the two is more powerful, "But their magic is far surpasseshes the Exceedes!"
Faust the King of Edolas grunted unimpressed by the news with a short snort, "Hmph."
Hughes the Captain of the 3rd Magic War Division impressed by the news asked a question in a curious tone, "Then that would mean that there is magic in the body of that Lucy girl too? Then it would be an amazing waste to kill her. We could suck the magic out of them for like half an eternity."
But to bring bad news Faust denied such an action his eyes filled with coldness spoke equal to his eye's coldness, "That will not do!! The execution order has been handed down from the Exceed Queen, Chagot."
Coco the Assistant Chief of Staff replied shocked by the King's words beads of sweat forming from fear angering the Exceed Queen, "An order from the Queen?!!"
Sugarboy nods his head solemnly as they must follow orders from her of the news, "Mm… We mustn't disobey the Exceed's orders."
Hughes complained at such news as Panther Lily the Magic Militia's First Division Commander of the Royal Army asked about the Dragon Slayers, "Then what about the two Dragon Slayers?"
Byro soon reveals the news expressing a sinister expression clasping his hands together to share his discoveries, "Besides at our present skill level, we can't extract magic from a human body. They are both human and not human. If our experimentsh pan out, then we will have our semi-permeant generator for –"
*THUD*
*BOOOM*
*SWWWWSH*
Before Byro could finish the entire Castle shook violently alerting all present of such an event occurring as a Royal Army soldier appeared with distressing news, "Captains!!! Please come quick we are under attack by invaders!!!"
Alerted Lily immediately began to ask about the situation as did the other Captain Divisions expressing their seriousness, "Halt soldier!! What invaders are we facing and how many dare to storm his majesty, Castle!!!"
The Soldier gulped slowly responding shaking in terror finally speaking in a scared tone, "J-Just 5 people… Captain Lily sir… they stormed through the front of the castle leaving destruction in their wake…"
As if on cue a loud catchy song began to erupt catching everyone's attention of the tune being heard listening to the war song of TFS Hellsing Ready To Die & Party Party Party, "Daaadun!! Daaadun!! Daaadun!!! This is your time to pay, this is your judgment day, We made a sacrifice, And now we get to take your life."
His eyes widened in shock then into fury that gearing up as did the other Captain Divisions preparing for battle, "Speak no more. Your Majesty will take care of this quickly enough!!!"
Faust spoke nothing merely glaring and shaking in anger as his forces left gritting his words in disbelief as the music volume increased in the distance, "Who would dare come and disrupt my plans for eternal magic…!!! They will pay dearly by being beheaded!!! And some stop that annoying song at once!!!! It's bloody horrible!!!!"
While King Faust fumed, he noticed an ice make bird dropping a letter to him, "Hoot! Hoot!"
His eyes glared at the letter reading it out loud causing his face to turn red in anger at the words directed at him with rage barely restrained gritting his teeth, "Dear King Replacement: I wanted to send you this friendly little letter to inform you of your imminent demise. If you're curious of why of which I've sent this letter, it is merely to instill as much fear as I can. As if basting a turkey. Which I will then proceed to have sex with. THAT'S RIGHT. I'M GOING TO FUCK THE FEAR TURKEY. Follow me on Twitter @thefairytailtrickster. Sincerely, Silva Knights."
King Faust tore the letter apart screaming in utter rage at the disrespect his been given to him carried by an ice carrier pigeon no less, "ARGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"
