Chapter 68: Tower of Heaven (6)
~Third POV~
The Tower of Heaven is straight, neat and very symmetrical. The entire building was comprised of many differently shaped sections stacked one upon the other, many of these segments being built from brick and containing large windows and doors.
*BOOOM*
*THUD*
At least it was neat and symmetrical as the attacks by the Fairy Tail wizards are showing some damages being done right away from their destructive force.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"
*BRRRR*
"Circle Sword!"
*SHING*
"Disappear!"
*BOOOM*
An assault was soon led by three mages Simon looked shocked seeing the three of them fight off waves of Zeref Cultists with such ease as he mumbles surprised, "Unbelievable… just those three alone are defeating Jellal's forces like nothing. Are all Fairy Tail Wizards that strong?"
Each of them is equipped with Spider Golems video recording everything as the ruble of the Tower of Heaven entrance gets destroyed as Rou takes out a piece of candy in his mouth mumbling at the sight, "Man, this guy sure spends a lot of Jewels for this piece of crap? The forces he sent here. Not impressed. I mean just imagine all the candy one could get with that kind of cash. All wasted on a bad piece of art... the real darn shame of tax money or donations they received."
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!!"
*BAM*
"AHHH!"
Natsu slammed his fist towards the group of Cult of Zeref members supporting Jellal were all knocked down as he has his fist on fire, "Hahaha! Take that you bastards! How dare you try to take our friend! Not on my watch!!"
Soon more forces of Jellal's forces martch forward each wielding a Magic staffs as they pointed at their direction, "Aim at the intruders! Fire the Magic Bolts! NOW –"
*Snap*
*BOOOM*
"AHHH!"
The forces were suddenly taken by surprise by a Fire Alchemy explosion interrupting them as Rou calls out to Natsu to eat the fire, "Eat up Natsu! I know you Dragon Slayers eat your element and we need you at our best!"
*Wheeeee*
Takes a large inhale of his lungs absorbing the fire that engulfed the Cultist members all enter inside his stomach reaching his Origin refueling his Magic Power and finishing his meal, "Ah! Now that's a meal! I'm even more fired up now!!"
Marching upwards towards the Tower of Heaven Erza in her Heaven's Wheel Armor floats towards Rou direction as Simon follows behind as more enemy forces emerge coming down and above the building.
Narrowing his eyes at them he pointed his finger at them with an annoyed expression on his face at them, "Annoying. We don't have the time or energy to waste for them. You all better get lost or face our wrath!!"
*BOOOM*
Releasing his Magic Power the forces trembled lightly feeling Rou's pressure causing the ground beneath him to break making Erza do a double take comparing his Magic Power, 'This…! His Magic Power is almost on par with the Master!! Are Rou and Mavis both this equally this strong…?'
*Kree*
*Kree*
*Kree*
Stopping his Magic Power Rou stops as the door to the entrance is open wide with the remaining forces running away as Natsu and Simon follow the two enter inside.
Simon was confused as he mumbles in surprise with the door opening to himself, "The door is opened? What is Jellal planning now…"
Erza seeing this frown at this commenting on the action of the reasoning behind it, "Are they saying to come in?"
Rou on the other hand shrugs at this commenting as he enters inside through the door, "Hm, maybe he thinks of this like a game? Or he has nothing left to lose? Whatever the reason who are we to complain about making our way inside to him easier."
Natsu for his part nods in a confident manner entering through as well following after Rou with a grin on his face, "Yeah! At least this will much easier than simply crushing those punks! No matter who we meet they're getting the Fairy Tail special!!"
The two enter inside Simon follows suit to guide them as Erza follows Requiping into her Knight Armor default looking rushing inside in the process they enter the first floor which looked to be octagonal in shape, having no windows or doors.
When they walked inside through the doors, they were greeted by 3 people standing on guard with Rou commenting on them, "Well, well, well… what do you know? Jellal actually had competent help to hire you lot? Hmm… Trinity Raven, right?"
Fukuro one of the members with an owl head and a member of Trinity Raven, a group in the Assassin guild Death's Head Caucus, that worked under Jellal Fernandes spoke out as his head tilted with some surprise but his body on guard, "Hoo-hoot! I didn't expect such a high powered, individual to know us. Truly our infamy really surpasses our own expectations. Hoo-hoot!"
Another member Vidaldus Taka a Mage who's a member of Trinity Raven, an elite squad of highly revered Assassins in Death's Head Caucus replied with his Guitar at the ready, "YEAH!!! That man right there is a real threat that Jellal sent us to deal with them!!! When he wanted to play, he folded hard when he sensed that guy's Magic Power!!! YEAHHHHHH!!!!"
Ikaruga the leader of the Trinity Raven, had her hand on the handle of her weapon Mugetsu-Ryu with a calm manner, "Of course, even someone like Jellal would realize that man's strength sending us to the first floor immediately. Although he did have something up his sleeve of the matter."
*Bwaan*
*Bwaan*
*Mwuup*
Soon enough from the floors and walls of the first flour lips turning into mouths soon appeared out of nowhere as Natsu comments on it, "Mouths? Coming out of everywhere? Gross…"
It was then the mouths soon spoke out with Jellal's voice coming over from them each with a wicked grin on their expressions, "I'd like to welcome you all… to the Tower of Heaven. I am Jellal. The keeper of this Tower. I see we have all our game pieces now. So, I'd say it's time to start. Let us begin Heaven's Game…"
Rou for his part glares at the group ahead of them as Jellal continues to speak about the rules to them, "I intend to sacrifice Erza in order to revive Zeref. In other words, if the gates of Heaven open and escape, then I win. But if you people manage to stop me… then you win. Still… if it were that simple, it wouldn't be fun!"
Taking in a calm breath Rou gazes at Vidaldus with the target looking at him keeping his space with Rou's hands clearly open as Jellal continues, "So I have provided, myself with three Knights. You cannot reach me without going through them as the entrance is blocked by Organic Link Magic. In other words, this is a 3 versus 3 battle!!"
Pausing at this Rou realizes what Jellal meant with even Erza listening and noticing the miscount of the number, "3 on 3? But shouldn't it be 4 versus 3 then…"
Soon enough a shadow figure appeared beneath Rou and he immediately realized what Jellal meant as he reached for his Philosopher Stone snapping his fingers and starting the fight with a snap followed by an explosion with Vidaldus's eyes widening.
*BOOOOM*
"Ack!!"
*SPLAT*
*WOOSH*
*CLANG*
*BAM*
Vidaldus was immediately taken out of the equation as Rou transmuted the Ethernano into explosives exploding Vidaldus's Origin damaging him and effectively ending his life the explosion occurred with everyone starting their fight leaving no remains behind as the smoke obscured their visions leaving to their own thoughts what happened.
And yet couldn't be bothered as they remain focused on the enemy at hand.
But just as Rou did so he was suddenly taken away from the shadows as Erza fights Ikaruga and Natsu with Simon fighting against Fukuro as the voice of Jellal sounded throughout the room as the clashes of fights ring on, "No I made sure to count that man out of the equation. He'll be given a penalty for cheating his way through. Providing he survives against a group of assassins and if he does then he has the pleasure of fighting me next. After all his an even better candidate than you Erza!!!"
"Yasha's Empty Flash!!"
*Shiiii*
*KLANG*
Ikaruga uses the Yasja's Empty Flash a technique that allows Ikaruga to slash whatever she is attacking without touching it with the blade, shattering even Magic Armor or weapons with one attack.
But was soon blocked by Erza's weapons Enchanted by Rou's Enchantment Magic beforehand entering the island as she growls at her, "Get out of my way!! I won't let Jellal do as he pleases not on my watch!!"
Listening in disbelief the mouths soon vanished as Ikaruga makes a quick sword slash motion at her using might against Ikaruga. She takes careful caution in her fight along with Natsu to provide support if needed.
"Requip: Heaven's Wheel Armor!!"
Changing into her armor with her swords flying around determined to finish the battle as fast as she could just as Jellal's last words of advice done with the mouths vanished as Rou was transported to another part of the Tower of Heaven…
/////
*Woosh*
Suddenly transported into another portion of the Tower of Heaven Rou soon finds himself looking around confused, "Ok… not exactly what I suspected. And neither I get sent to the last boss room either."
Turning around Rou looks to find Jellal sitting on his throne having his hand over his chin glaring at Rou in disgust as he spoke with an angry tone, "To think all my planning all my careful steps… only to be stopped by one meddling fairy. Truly fate must have some kind of sick joke. All that effort to revive our God just to be stopped by the likes of you. Truly you Fairy Tail rats are the most bothersome people I had the displeasure of meeting."
Rou for his part snorted at Jellal's remarks despite knowing his under control a part of him couldn't help but retort, "Gezzz I'm soooo sorry princess. But guess what? Nobody gives a fuck dude. Your plan was doomed from the start when you thought capturing one of the members of Fairy Tail. We do tend to bite back to those that wrong us."
*SHIII*
Jellal snarls at this but soon stands up retorting Rou's words flaring up his Magic Power despite being half power, "Perhaps… but I know currently as things stand, I won't be much of a match. In fact, you would be able to win if we fought under 'fair' circumstances. But then again when a powerful mage such as yourself shows up you would make an ideal replacement to revive Zeref."
*Snap*
Snapping his fingers the lights in the room darken as Rou glares at Jellal having his Magic Cards at the ready but shock to see some characters here that weren't supposed to thinking to himself, 'Fucking butterfly effect… of course with our appearance even the slightest things will change ever so lightly. At least Erza and Natsu won't deal with another group of assassins as I can handle this group.'
*Woosh*
Coming out from the shadows were four figures coming out each prepared to fight against Rou as the leader moves forward as a young man having long, unkempt turquoise hair and narrow eyes with small irises and pupils. He wears a black coat and mantle with silver highlights, white boots, and white gloves. The edges of his coat and cloak have large triangular edges.
The leader of the group introduces himself as Gyst while rubble began to fly up using Telekinesis Magic in an arrogant tone, "I'm Gyst. And this is Team Gyst with me as their leader. Remember this for when your time comes."
Grinning wickedly Rou returned his comment with one of his own expressing his anger, "Cute. But you made one big mistake pal…"
*WOOOSH*
Suddenly smoke evaporated from Rou's body as a ghostly voice was heard within the room that team Gyst prepared against him, "You thought I was stuck with you? No… YOUR stuck here with ME."
Like that another battle commences…
