Chapter 29: Eisenwald Arc (4)
~Third POV~

The rumbling of the train was heading towards Onibas as Erza explained to the group in greater detail about the events leading them to Onibas as Gray muttered out confused, "Lullaby?"
Lucy was equally as confused asking more question about Lullaby in a confused tone, "A child's bedtime song? Could it be some kind of sleep Magic?"
Clarifying more Erza explained to the group as her head was down replying to two with Silva merely listening as his eyes wanders the car there in, "I don't know. But when I heard that it was sealed… I figured it must have some strong magic."
Gray for his part looked at the situation in confusion the more Erza spoke speaking in a neutral tone of the events, "I don't see a problem here. Sure, some guys are trying to break the seal to some Magic we don't know about… But that doesn't make for a mission. It isn't anything, really."
But that was when Silva interjected explaining using his meta knowledge getting the group attention except Natsu for his knocked out, "But it is an issue though. Lullaby isn't a spell they just took but rather unsealed one of Zeref demons."
That got their attention as Erza narrows her eyes questioning his claims with him explaining further with Judgement Field out and active giving them a brief explanation of how it works truthfully, "To begin with the flute was once just a tool for murder by curse at first, which means that it curses the target and causes them to die. Lullaby has the ability, while in flute form, to be played. When it is played, it produces a song that, if heard, will cause everyone, except for the caster, to die. It uses Sound Magic to kill."
Seeing no reaction the group eyes widen at this as Gray being persistent asks Silva with a glint of anger in his eyes, "But how exactly does it relate to it being a demon though? Did those Eisenwald knew…"
Before Gray could continue that line of thought Silva quickly remedy that by proposing an idea about it being unlikely in a thoughtful tone, "Doubtful. If anything, they probably only obtained it just for the tool of murder otherwise I doubt that Dark Guild would bother awakening a demon that can deal with them. Then again though this is merely speculation in the end though."
After hearing his explanation thinking about it themselves it was probably the likely cause as Silva continued to inform them of Lullaby using his meta knowledge, "Returning to explanation after getting into Dark Mage Zeref's hands, he further developed it into a magical flute, called Mass Murder Curse Magic that is capable of putting a death curse on everyone who hears its melody except for the Caster. And I don't need to say that anything that involves that Mage will always bring forth one scary creation."
Turning off Judgement Field after having the information provided Erza expresses a serious expression continuing her topic to them about Eisenwald, "I see… I didn't realize you were quite knowledgeable Silva. You joining us is already showing a lot of value. But knowing this it should be important I should explain what I know about the Eisenwald Guild to get you all to speed."
They all nodded as Lucy quickly starting to regret coming as Erza explains to the group who their dealing within a serious tone, "Erigor he's the ace of the Eisenwald Guild but better known as Erigor the Death God."
Lucy hearing this cry out surprised of the news, "D-Death God?!!"
Erza nods as she explains how someone like Erigor obtained such a name getting the group attention, "That's a nickname for a wizard who accepts only assassination requests. The Council has since banned all assassination requests, but Eisenwald chose money over the law. As a result, they were expelled from the league 6 years ago. Now they've been categorized as a Dark Guild."
Lucy is surprised by the news as Silva remained calmed finally eyeing the person, he was looking for as she talks to Erza surprised, "Dark Guild?!! Hold on a minute!!! They were expelled… weren't they punished?!"
Erza nods in agreement as she explained to Lucy their punishment as the train soon starts to stop as the group began to get up, "They were. At the time, the Master of Eisenwald was arrested. And the order was given to disband the Guild. But the majority of all guilds that they call Dark Guilds have ignored the order and continue acting as guilds."
Lucy feeling pressure of the danger almost began to leave as everyone soon left with Silva staying behind with Natsu still knocked out as 4 of them left as he thought to himself, 'Maybe it's best I actually take away that Lullaby personally than cause a scene. After all that guy is soon coming soon enough...'

With the train leaving as Silva stayed behind acting to gaze at the side window as he thought to himself, 'When is that Shadow Magic Caster is coming... oh? Seems like I can sense someone coming here.'
After waiting a while, a young man of average height and weight with black eyes and black hair which he ties in a short, spiky ponytail. He wears a white shirt with a high collar and an intricate symbol on its back over a plain, dark red undershirt. He also wears a pair of aquamarine pants, black shoes and small black earrings in each ear.
Seeing the main target come near them Silva didn't hesitate to use <Observe> on the man in front of him to see his info about him.
[Kageyama Lv.50 Dark Wizard
Description: Kageyama was a member of the Dark Guild Eisenwald and one of their elites. He is a user of Shadow Magic and he is also a dispeller, having the ability to unseal magical seals. Kageyama has a tendency to come off as being exceptionally polite and full of decorum, however this is just a facade to merely catch people off guard, as when the first chance is given, he drops his polite attitude and attempts to fight whomever he has lured with his niceties but is a coward.]
Silva merely mentally laughed at this seeing Kageyama up front as he began to talk to the both of them in a fake calm manner, "Young man is this seat taken? Oh, dear… it seems like your friend here doesn't seem all too well? Is he alright?"
Silva replied jabbing Natsu in the side groaning from his motion sickness happily, "Oh him? His always like this when having to ride a vehicle. Bad case of motion sickness you see? But go ahead and take a seat friend."
Taking his seat Silva eyes Kageyama as he saw his bag as he sits down putting his hands together eyeing the two of them as he spoke, "You're both from Fairy Tail… An official guild. How I envy both of you."
*Katok*
*Katak*
Despite listening to Kageyama about it to the both of them Silva still remained neutral as he continues trying to lower his guard, "Fairy Tail. I've heard a lot about it. Mirajane is pretty famous, huh? She appears in every magazine, every now and again. She's beautiful. I wonder why she went off active duty. She's very young?"
Raising an eyebrow at his questioning Silva mentally thought to himself looking at the guy using his senses as he finally replied to him, "Yeah, she is. Although what she does is her business. How rude the names Silva and you sir?"
At this Kageyama replies 'surprised' seeing Silva finally responded to him as Natsu still groans in pain, "Huh? Oh! So, you've finally decided to speak!! Hyahaha!!"
Laughing away Silva grins at him responding to him with a light smile on his face, "Nighty night, Kage-chan."
Stopping abruptly at the sudden name calling Kage-chan but tried to remain calm keeping his act responding, "Huh –"
*Woosh*
*BAM*
"AHHH!"
Suddenly without warning being close range Silva didn't hesitate to attack the man in between the legs going for the jewels as he groans in pain crouching as he used <Mana Burst> to surprise attack him while in the moment of his weakness taking his bag without hesitation.
Kageyama getting back his strength with Natsu surprised by the sudden attack that Silva gave him yelled out in anger, "Ahhhh!!! What the fuck man! Why?!! You are so getting it you – why the hell is –"
"Silva Kick!!"
*POW*
Not taking any chances Silva didn't hesitate to use the stopping momentum of the train caused by Erza actions back in the previous town Onibas to force the trains heading towards Kunugi realizing that Natsu and him are gone.
With that meta-knowledge in mind Silva merely waited till the opportunity presented itself to launch his attack followed by a surprise attack using his STR when the time showed itself present.
With a knee to the face and STR Silva was enough to cause Kageyama to be knocked out as Natsu regains his composure again, "Ugh… Silva what the hell! You attacked that guy out of nowhere!!"
Hearing that Silva quickly made his excuse getting Natsu attention pointing at the knocked-out guy in an innocent tone, "What do you mean? Erza was hunting down members of Eisenwald Guild and I found this guy Kageyama as one of their members? You didn't remember because Erza knocked you out?"
At this Natsu used what little brain power he had in his head till recalled Erza knocking him out cold before nodding completely accepting Silva's words, "Ah! Right, she did knock me out! Then I guess Erza needs this guy then?"
Silva for his part couldn't help but sweat drop at Natsu response and lack of thinking but regardless nodded using taking out rope from his bag tying him up, "Yup! Judging by right now with the train stopping Erza would no doubt come chasing us –"
*Kang*
*Kang*
*Kang*
Before Silva could continue the speaker inside the train began to notify the passengers inside about the situation causing Natsu to pale at the news, "We have just confirmed that the present stop signal was sent out under erroneous circumstance. We will be under way presently. We apologized for the inconvenience."
Slowly turning his head towards the frighten Dragon Slayer Silva paled at what's he about to do in the next few short seconds, "Natsu don't you dare do what I think –"
*Ka-chassh*
It was as much as Silva could say not before he grabbed him and his luggage as he soon thrown the both of them out of the train crashing the window seat as Silva took hold of Kageyama waking up equally as confused but scared of what Natsu has just done.
"Natsu?!!"
"Silva?!!!"
"Who the heck is that guy?"
Three cries ranged out as Silva clicked his tongue stopping himself in his tracks with Mastema manifesting white wings letting Kageyama fall with Natsu as the both of them hit their heads at Gray resulting the two of them to fall down to the ground with the Shadow Mage knocked out cold again.
Stopping the Magic Four-Wheeler Car Erza demanded answers as Silva safely got down towards him in relief and seriousness in her tone, "I'm glad to see you and Natsu are safe… but who's the one you seemingly tied up?"
At this Silva replied in a happy tone instantly getting a response out of Erza with a grin on his face, "Oh no one important… except a Eisenwald Guild Member Kageyama that had the Lullaby flute in my possession in this little bag here."
Erza eyes turned towards Kageyama as he woke up sweating as the Fairy Tail members soon ganged up on the poor man wanting answers jojo style.
Chapter 30: Eisenwald Arc (5)
~Silva POV~
[You gain 50 XP]
I smirked after I was the one to knock Kageyama out to earn his EXP as Erza forces him up again to gather information or we gang up on him again.
He complied shortly after that.
After revealing that part of the information and allowing them to use my Judgement Field to get clean confessions out of Kageyama I began to investigate the new item I got from him going through his bag.
<Observe>.
----
Item: Skill Book – Dispel
Rarity Item: B
Type: Skill Book
Description: A Skill Book can be obtained containing the spell skill <Dispel>. The user needs INT at 60 to unlock this skill.
----
Because of course it is.
Sigh…
I really need to raise my INT stats soon. Not being able to use Magic is going to be a pain but returning to the bag I saw the flute in question.
Returning my attention towards the group I see that they are finished interrogating Kageyama as I pity the man getting punched to the face after repeatedly being beaten by Erza as she gives me back my Judgement Field with a smile on her face, "Thanks Silva. Your quick thinking and spotting the enemy provided us with useful information out of the man. Along with your Magic Tool helped getting the information provided out of him."
She casted a stern glare at the swollen man face no longer conscious as she continues to explain another issue though, "While we have to temporary deal with the Eisenwald Guild we have to deal with Lullaby first. We can't allow such a dangerous demon out."
To that I can agree with.
*Gm*
*Gm*
*Gm*
However, before I could do anything smoke began to rise out from the bag alerting everyone immediately as we all heard a voice that had echoes with each voice, "Hahaha!! All you wizards are cowards –"
Not before too long I narrowed my eyes at the demon speaking out with Happy and Lucy panicking as I voiced out to Natsu while tossing the bag in response, "Natsu! Burn that demon now!"
*Woosh*
Immediately getting the idea and thankfully his instincts to react with no hesitation that motivated Natsu lightning up his fighting spirit as he fists bumped his fist together, "One Fire Dragon Slayer Roar coming right up!"
Getting ready to act as the demon continues to speak as Natsu soon starts to inhale, gathering fire in his mouth, "I can't stand this anymore!! I, myself –"
Everyone's reaction with the exception of Happy and Lucy already prepared their attacks immediately to end the demon with Natsu releasing the fire in the direction of the sky, where the damn flute is directed, "FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!!!"
*BRRR*
Soon a large, exploding torrent of fire erupted from him by putting his hands before his mouth, in a pose resembling that of a trumpeter, before releasing the fire, prompting it to be expelled between their fingers as the damages and burns soon shows itself enough.
Although Gray and Erza weren't far behind as the demon Lullaby tries to form but is quickly overtaken by the sudden attacks from all sides.
"<Ice Make: Cannon>!"
"<Trinity Sword Slash>!"
Like that an ice cannon launched at the demon encased in fire followed by Erza flying magic slash attacks while the results released a heat steam explosion listening to the demon roar in pain, "AHHHH!!!!"
Witnessing the large-scale attack up close I felt the burning heat sensations that he produced making me actually sweat a bit being up close to his fire for the first time.
Powerful.
Those are my thoughts of Natsu Dragon Slayer Magic. But also, the others Magic Power firsthand, experience of Erza and Gray.
Extremely strong.
Those are what my senses told me about them for the first time actually seeing them in action that makes my senses scream at me to be wary of.
It's the first time I felt this powerless, in front of them before despite my calm exterior it gives me panic at this current stage they could be called 'weak' as they are now against future enemies that are more powerful than them combined.
Unbelievable…
Even using <Magic Sense> the gap is clear as day between them and me in an instant. That's something I should aspire to achieve and overcome in the future.
I need to be more powerful…
Witnessing the end of the Demon dying turning into a flute again with Erza taking it in her <Requip> for safe keeping as I seen the pop up screens show up.

Feeling a boost in power from leveling up but then I noticed that Erza looked at me for a second with my senses slightly heighten but she seems to have let me go.
Right…
I should probably reframe from leveling up in groups but Natsu, Lucy, and Gray have no reaction at all to me?
Is it only the strong one's under S-Class that are able to sense me level up?
…
Really hope Mavis comes back with something to help me out but for now it seems Erza's eyes dart towards Natsu since he happens to be between me and her getting her eyes at him and not me.
Although –
Before I could continue thinking to myself Natsu gloats of their easy win with literal fire escaping his smile happily feeling the boasting of his win, "Hahaha! Take that you stupid demon! You were too weak to beat me!! I call this my win!!"
Gray however disagreed arguing back with Natsu starting up another argument in a contest between them, "Your win?!! Yeah, right fire breath! That demon clearly lost to my Ice Maker Magic then your fire!! Obviously, it's my win!"
Like that the two began to argue again sighing at this with Lucy breathing out in relief getting out of that dangerous situation, "Ahh… oh, man that could've gone really bad if we didn't react in time. Thankfully that didn't come to pass…"
Who's this we you speak of?
Actually…
Ignore that thought.
As the two began to argue Erza voices out to everyone causing the two to revert back to obedient best friends…
Those poor bastards.
With everyone attention all turned towards Erza as for what to do next since we killed off Lullaby, she began to speak the next course, "With that done with all that's left to do is take care of the Eisenwald Guild. If what the man spoke is true, then that means their Guild are planning taking control of Oshibana station soon."
"Hahaha!"
Laughter was heard as Kageyama laughs expressing an overconfident grin on his face, "You flies won't be able to defeat Erigor. He's our ace and won't lose to you…"
*BAM*
One punch from Gray shut him up as Erza motioned all of us to go into the car immediately, "Ok everyone! Time for us to finish this mess."
Natsu groaned at this as I couldn't help but see where this is going but I couldn't help but grin seeing that the damages are done along with this quest.
/////
*Murmur*
*Murmur*
*Murmur*
Listening to the murmurs of the crowd we all listened intently to the group of people along with announcements of Eisenwald Guild taking control of the Oshibana Station with Erza leading the cause of capturing them.
Me and Lucy were left with dragging Kageyama knocked out already handing him to the Rune Knights nearby and explaining right away the situation with us only going ahead with the crowd stopping us.
Oh right.
Before moving ahead, I managed to get one of the spare items I got from my rewards from this one randomly on my training.
<Observe>.
----
Item: Small Mana Bottle
Rarity Item: D
Type: Small Jar
Description: Restore MP of one ally by 25%.
----
Holding this bottle in my hand I managed to get to Erza getting her attention handing her the bottle with confusion on her face as I explained, "Erza with your Magic Power low drinking this will help replenish it back to 25% your Magic Power. We need you at your best."
Her eyes were questioning but didn't hesitate as she drank it as her eyes widen as I used <Magic Sense> to tell her Magic Power was restored by 25% as she thanked me, "Incredible! With this I should be able to handle Erigor myself with this much. Thanks for the help Silva. Once again your help is greatly appreciated."
She was genuine about it in her voice and tone.
I can tell that much from my senses alone as we finally nearing the end of the scuffle of this mission, she had for us.
I for one can't wait to test out my skills against groups and begin the grind.
Although it would be very short considering who were up against is Eisenwald Guild members with Erigor being the main threat as these guys can just floor them.
I merely wanted to increase our chances well my chances surviving this encounter seeing that it seems like I didn't need to bring Lucy along after all.
Guess I was just being over-cautious about a few things after all. But I couldn't help myself to get another help in case things do go south.
All that concern was wasted but, in the end, though was needed if something unexpected came up.
Sigh…
Whatever for now though I should just help the group and plunder any Magic Weapons the Guild Members of Eisenwald have on hand that are good for me to keep. I best keep my head in the game.
