Chapter 36: Sub-Zero Emperor (1)
~Silva POV~
<Observe>.
[Jellal Fernandes Lv.? Fairy Tail Wizard
Description: Mystogan, whose real name is Jellal, is an S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail and the future King of Edolas. He was also considered the most mysterious member of the guild, as he did not show himself, or his face, at all. He is the Edolas counterpart of Jellal Fernandes.]
Being the Edolas counterpart of Jellal Fernandes, Mystogan possesses the same dark eyes, blue hair, and tattoo on the right side of his face. He wears a dark blue cloak and his arms and legs are mostly covered in bandages.
During his time with Fairy Tail, he wore a dark blue bandana with a silver forehead protector and a green mask that obscured the bottom half of his face to hide his identity from his guildmates. The design of his mask appears to change frequently. He usually carries his Magic Staves on his back, which are held by a dark green strap going across his main body.
*Tmp*
*Tmp*
*Wooooo*
*Tmp*
Hearing the steps of him coming closer even the wind somehow inside the building swirls past him as I introduced myself to him, "Sup. The name's Silva Knight and you are…?"
He paused as he looked at me while he has his face hidden, I can sense his surprise underneath his mask but soon returns to replying to me in a neutral tone, "… Mystogan. Would you kindly move so I can get a job?"
Doing so I let the guy have a look as he took one with a Wanted Post request about a Dark Guild as he flips it to Makarov, "I'm going."
Makarov returning to his senses replied back a bit annoyed at Mystogan wanting him to cancel his Sleep Spell, "Hey!! Take off the sleep Magic first!!"
As he walks away trying to act too cool in my option, he also made a countdown as he vanishes like the wind, "5… 4… 3… 2… 1…"
*Whooosh*
With him gone and the rest of the members walking up Mavis nodded with a light smile on her face, "Umu. Looks like my Guild sure has a lot of talented members. Mystogan huh? So… mysterious."
I couldn't help but laugh a bit at Mavis's bad pun to which she smirks as the rest of the guild members started to complain about Mystogan putting the sleep magic on them with the exception of Natsu snoring away.
"Th-this feeling… was it Mystogan?!!"
"That jerk!!!"
"That guy's Sleep Spell hasn't lost any of its power!!!"
"Mystogan?"
That was when the conversation of Mystogan began being a top contender as well as being mysterious with no one except the exception of the Master seeing his face with Mavis mischievously grinning – you better not!
The last thing I need is unwanted attention you old hag!
Before she could do anything, someone beat her to the punch as the voice is from the second-floor building of the guild in a rough voice, "No… I know. Mystogan is shy. So, butt out of what doesn't concern you!!!"
And speak of the devil and the asshole shall appear Laxus Dreyar people.
Laxus is a very tall and muscular young man with orange eyes; his blond hair is slicked back, its numerous spiky strands pointing backward, though some fall down in a small tuft on his forehead. He donned a leopard-print, orange tunic with dark-lined sleeves reaching down below his elbows, and fur on the lower edges.
He sported a bright red cape, tied on the front with a garish knot, which bore a large, lighter Fairy Tail symbol on the back, and loose, baggy dark pants tucked inside light metal greaves. Around his waist was a simple belt to which he attached the device linked to his Magic Headphones. He also had a small chain tied around his right wrist and was initially portrayed smoking large cigars.
<Observe>.
[Laxus Dreyar Lv.? Fairy Tail Wizard
Description: Laxus Dreyar is an S-Class Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild. He is the grandson of Fairy Tail's Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar, and the son of Raven Tail's Master, Ivan Dreyar. He has a team of members calling themselves the Thunder God Tribe. Laxus is arrogant, overbearing, selfish, and prone to make fun of his own comrades.
He believed himself to be the strongest member of Fairy Tail, and looked down on those he considered weak, heavily reprimanding their weakness and even resolving to hurt them whenever they stepped in his path.]
Yeah…
Troubled child alright.
With his voice alone Natsu woke up from his slumber as the masochist that he is challenging Laxus again determined, "Laxus!!! Come fight me right now!!"
Natsu ignoring Warren the Telepathy Magic Caster Laxus mocked the Dragon Slayer and Erza at the same time with a grin plastered on his face, "That's right! If you can't take out somebody as weak as Erza, you sure don't stand a chance with me."
Erza didn't take his comment too kindly as she gets up having an ominous aura about her menacingly, "What does that mean?!!"
Replying to her and everyone present I simply ignored him as his being a boasting arrogant Wuxia character, "It means that I'm the best! I'm not going to give up that status as the strongest in Fairy Tail to anyone! Not Erza! Not Mystogan! Not even that old man! I am the greatest!!"
Natsu tries to go and challenge him only to be curbed stomp by Makarov telling him he isn't ready for an S-Class quest as Laxus laughs his ass off making me roll my eyes already annoyed by the guy and I just met him.
No need to confront that asshole as he is now.
With that done with I began to head towards Makarov as he looked at me asking me any concerns, "Tell me son what seems to be the problem? You seem to want to ask something?"
At this, I decided to ask what I wanted to know first asking Makarov in a curious tone about a few things, "A few things Guild Master. First I was wondering if you know any places that sell any Alchemy books for one?"
He raised an eyebrow at that since I do remember him knowing about Alchemy in the 100 Year Quest sequel close enough with Curse Power being non-magical means of combat.
I'm hoping to hone my own skills having some skills that are Alchemy based without having to rely on my MP when I have to head to Edolas one day against an army.
I'm not sure how it would affect me but it seems like everyone who enters that dimension would have their Magic instantly depleted and sealed for a duration of time indefinitely till they regain them by medicine.
I would rather have a skill at hand that I wouldn't need to use my Magic-based one just in case since I heavily rely on them.
Although I have some non-magical skills like Sword Mastery it's best to have myself be a variety of all but master to none in case situations are called upon me needing them would rise.
Listening to my request Makarov has an expression of interest as did Mavis mumbling to himself before finally responding, "Alchemy huh? Hmm… there aren't many Alchemy Guilds in Magnolia Town here Silva. Or for that much in Fiore as much I'm afraid. But you could probably try your luck at Crocus since they have just about one guild of any type in the Capital City. Maybe even an Alchemy Guild there perhaps they should shed some light for you."
I smiled at this but then came the next one as his expression changed to stern when I finished speaking, "Thanks. But I have another you wouldn't happen to know the location of Galuna Island wouldn't you?"
Not only did the Guild Master stiff as did Mirajane and Erza did so with Makarov had tension in his voice as he replied to me, "Hmm… Can I ask why you wish to go to that Island young man…?"
I already have an answer to this.
I merely acted confused as I replied to Master Makarov about the purpose of going there seemingly reliving his tension from earlier, "Simple. I'm in need of some Moon Drip actually. I happen to need it for me to Enchant a Weapon that's able to bypass Magic. I heard you could get it on Galuna Island, but I have no clue where to locate it. I was wondering if you knew is all Master."
He sighs at this since I already foresee something like this occurring as I sense Mirajane and Erza both cooled down once I gave Makarov my explanation to him.
And it wasn't a lie either since I'm curious about it to make an Enchanted Weapon out of it having a weapon that has <Dispel> on it to dispel any Magic coming my way.
Shame the same can't be said about Ricochet since it reflects both Magic and Physical attacks but in random directions.
Which is why I don't use it in a majority of fights since the direction it comes to repel is random at best.
But in the end, though the Master warned me I shouldn't go in under circumstance withholding the information saying the place was cursed and out of my league. He suggested that I should just wait till someone completed it much to my frustration a bit, but I agreed nonetheless to his words.
I mean I have Rongo Rongo to look it up in my own time. But that's for another time when I'm more properly prepared.
In the end, though Mavis stayed around the Guild a bit more to see how things were going as I decided to look around the Guild Library for the time being to look around some more spells for me to use or different fighting styles.
Could go for the spear route. I mean the Erza from Edolas has a nice spear that won't be useable in the near future…
It would be a crime not to use it at its best. To which I do need to upgrade on offensive Magic by the way. At least till I smiled hearing that oh-so-good calling of the screen telling me my mission this time.

----
I could only give this quest with extreme caution as I accepted it trying my best to complete it without much issue.
Fortunately, I have just the item for the job.
Maybe that's why I was given such an OP item from the Cursed Box for this quest or another…
Guess the only way to find out is to try.
Chapter 37: Sub-Zero Emperor (2)
~Lucy POV~
I couldn't help myself as I yelled at Natsu and Happy for bringing this to me from the Second Floor of the Guild building outraged, "What is this supposed to mean?!!! You're not allowed to be on the second floor!!!"
I still can't believe that Natsu managed to get an S-Class request from the guild as Happy waves it in front of me, "I went up without permission and picked this up."
In disbelief, I couldn't help myself but respond in surprise, "You cat burglar!!!"
*Woosh*
Getting dressed after doing his ridiculous workouts Natsu stood up confident for taking this request with a grin on his face, "Anyway, it was our first time, so we picked the cheapest job on the second floor. Even so, it was seven million Jewels!"
That's a lot of money!
Wait no that's not the issue!!
Shaking my head at this idiot trying to con me in his plans I spoke back with a sigh, "Sigh… No!! We have no right to take on S-Class missions!!!"
*Fwip*
Putting up his scarf Natsu merely grinned happily like an idiot with his confidence that were alone to take on the S-Class quest, "But if we do it successfully, they'd have to admit that we've got the right!"
After that, we had a small argument with Happy and Natsu both trying to goat me into joining especially since it's related to some cursed island called Galuna.
Denying joining or even tempted by it I saw the two about to leave as I see the paper in my room I felt my heart drop seeing it here, "What?!!! They left the paper behind?!! Wait a second!!! Now it looks like I'm the thief!!! What'll I do now?!!"
Falling down to the floor I couldn't help but think what kind of crap Natsu put me to –
Oh….?
Actually taking the chance to look at the S-Class more closely I see the reward isn't just only 7,000,000J but one Gold Key in it as well…
Gold Key…
Grinning slightly at this I finally get the chance to have one of the Golden Keys of the Zodiac!
I was jealous that Silva managed to find one of the Golden Keys since they are extremely rare and powerful Celestial Spirits to obtain but hard to find because only 12 exist in the mortal world.
Although in the end, he did hand over the Virgo key to me I'm kind of ashamed to admit I was pretty pitiful about the whole ordeal. But if I managed to help Natsu out then getting this Key is within my grasp!
And not only that I could possibly try the <Star Dress> on the new spirit as the spell is certainly helpful. While I may not have the Magic Power to sustain it the usefulness is already proved a lot of potential.
I tried it out with my Golden Key Taurus and briefly transformed into a bikini-wearing cowgirl much to my embarrassment but the strength that came with it was unbelievable that I manage to accidentally destroy my table with one tap.
And if that's with just Taurus then I wonder what else could I gain from using the other Celestial Spirits. Although now very careful and exhausted for a few seconds the new Celestial Spirit Spell has a lot of potential if I manage to increase my Magic Power but that's for a later idea down the line.
Standing up a thought did occur to me as I really think this through since we're taking this S-Class request we might need someone knowledge in the area…
Hmm…
I could pull Silva with me to help out in this S-Class Quest. With his Eye Magic he would be helpful in this case solving the mystery and help if things get really out of hand as he proved to be a useful ally to be around with.
After all the fight with the Eisenwald Guild members can testify to that much as it was literally a breeze defeating them and having a searcher on the team would be very beneficial just to be on the side of caution.
Although that would depend if I want to risk his life helping us out or possibly rat us out. And he already gave me the Golden Key of the Maiden since he can't use Celestial Spirit Magic, I don't want to burden him.
But the question is would it be worth it….
Mmm…
Better not to since he could tell the Guild so guess that means I better go off with Natsu and Happy then.
Getting ready immediately I rushed ahead and called out to the duo as I get their attention, "Natsu!!! Happy!!! Wait for me!!"

~Silva POV~
[July 12, X784]
*Woooosh*
[<Ice Resistance> LEVEL UP!]
*Oooooo*
Trudging back to normal ground again feeling the sensation of the cold air of the mountain ending I couldn't help but enjoy the sun, "All praise the great sun for this bountiful day! Praise the sun!"
Mavis was traveling along with me rolling her eyes but a hint of amusement in them told me otherwise as she responded to me, "You know sleeping the night in Mt. Hakobe wasn't exactly the smartest decision anybody could ever made you know? Even if has high Ethernano concentration here it's already crazy. How the heck aren't you freezing to near death is puzzling enough?"
I merely grinned at her replying with a simple statement, "Easy. I'm built different."
She merely rolled her eyes as I went to Mt. Hakobe having in my hand the stuff of legends with this rare rank item to Mavis, "True. But having a plentiful means of harvesting literally the Hakobe Ice does come in handy to create useful items that won't ever melt. Also, perfect bargaining chip with the Alchemist Guild in Crocus because of it's properties."
With the item I got from a previous mission the Ice Cutting Pen it was certainly easy to obtain and also increased my <Ice Resistance> skill in the process under the cold.
Taking out one of the chunks of the Hakobe Ice I used <Observe> on it to get the details of it as I couldn't help but grin having a money maker like this to sell.
<Observe>.
----
Item: Hakobe Ice
Rarity Item: S
Type: Ice
Description: The Hakobe Ice is a very famous and very rare type of ice only found, as it's name suggests, in Mt. Hakobe. The ice contains numerous magical characteristics, as it can never be melted.
Furthermore, it's nearly invincible to sharp objects, can act as a high-grade skin moisturizer, gives a great flavor to cooked food. It can also regain one's energy and cure minor illnesses such as motion-sickness.
----
That and it proves to be a good medicine reliever to cure Natsu motion or other Dragon Slayer motion-sickness could prove useful.
Putting it away into my <Lost Realm> we took to the skies with me using Mastema I took in the fresh air breathing into my lungs and exhaling it out, "Sigh… today's such a nice day. What better way to spend it than enjoying the view above."
Listening to the sounds of giggling as Mavis floated next to me in her Thought Projection basking the sky, "Hahaha… yeah. It's something really assuring to enjoy flying around that's for sure. Just enjoy the sky and touch the grass."
True.
While making my way back to Magnolia Town I used Spectator to look afar to see if Erza has been called or not.
Hmm…
Might want to pull an overdrive to see or I missed it. Hopefully with my Rongo Rongo would help me find the island with ease.
*Shiii*
[<Riding> LEVEL UP!]
*Fwp*
*Fwp*
Using my skill I decided to pick up the pace flying faster back to town with Mavis trying to catch up to me, "Hey! Wait up…! You know I can't fly that fast Silva!!!"
/////
~Erza POV~
After hearing the explanation that Master provided, I wanted to clarify the matter that occurred early in the morning, "In short, Lucy, Happy, Natsu, and possibly Gray are all on this forbidden island, to perform an S-Class Request Master Makarov?"
He nodded at my short summary of what occurred with a simple reply, "That's the gist of it."
I see…
I could only narrow my eyes at these blatant rules being ignored and violated from those 4 for going to the upper floors where the S-Class are handled.
While I could scold Laxus for allowing this to happen it was ultimately up to those 3 to deny and return back but didn't as Gray is equally accountable for failing and joining them on the S-Class Quest.
They don't know nor have the experience needed to complete it. I should know that better than anyone how dangerous they are where one mistake could lead to life-or-death situation at a drop of a hat.
While I'm concern for their safety this will not go unpunished for ignoring the Guild rules but in the scenario if they were injured or worse though I would usually say they would have this coming but despite this I will rush myself to their aide as fast as I can.
Unfortunately, though traversing in an island trying to locate them would be difficult as well and frankly I do know one person who come to mind with their Eye Magic might help detecting them with ease.
And with his potions it could provide some use considering how helpful he was during the Eisenwald incident.
I merely wish I didn't have to drag Silva into this mess that Natsu team dug for themselves, but their safety takes priority and fortunately for Fairy Tail we have a Caster that can locate them easily.
I would most certainly teach them a lesson without a second thought but frankly I would ensure they didn't die before they receive punishment as I replied to Master in a serious tone, "I will retrieve them. But I may need to bring Silva along with me. With his Eye Magic it would be certainly good to have someone like him locate them fast."
Makarov on the other hand raised an eyebrow at me mentioning him to join but nodded his head in agreement seeing the reason behind him joining, "He's not an S-Class Wizard… but then again if any of my children were injured or poisoned at the very least having a Mage to locate them would be vital. Very well Erza but keep them all safe."
I only gave a curt nod as now I only need to retrieve Silva to help me capture Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy for breaking the guild rules.
Now the only question is –
Before I could think anymore I see a new person pass by me as he heads towards the Guild Master, "Hey Makarov do you know where exactly can I sell these Hakobe Ice – what's with the weird look Erza?"
I blinked a bit before the young man in question as I was confused before it clicked in my head that I recognized his voice before replying surprise, "Oh! Silva you seem different than we first met. Your new… change kept me from recognizing you clearly except for your voice."
Some the guild members looked a bit surprised while others merely shrugged as Silva shrugged at that nonchalantly, "Meh. No big deal. I was a bit on the fat side since we last met. I did some exercise to change that wanting to become strong. And this here is the result."
I nodded at this before remembering as I started to drag him with him being carried along for an important mission I had to do, "Right! I need your assistance on something first! You can talk to the master when were done collecting Natsu team from a dangerous island. I'll explain as we go. Time is of the essence!!"
He merely looked at me confused but nodded as he started to rush along my side as I brief him of the details of the matter as he gave me a curt nod of understanding the situation. Good at least his willing to join.
Now time to capture those rule breakers and face their punishments!
