Fairy 25: Six months Ago
In the middle of nowhere, that has nothing but mountains and forests. Lies an area that has been totally destroyed. And around the middle of that area, lies a young tall man. That is of course Zack, who has been training in this forest for the last six months, as he cannot help to smile seeing his status.

It been only 6 months since Zack has begun his training and left Fairy Tail. And already, all his stats had past B rank. However, Zack has no clue how monstrous this is.
One has to know, B- or B overall ranked in magic stats are the making of a S-Class Wizard. After all, not all wizards specialised in physical attacks like Erza.
That is because most S-Class Wizards will only have their magic stats at B ranked, but their physical stats at most, will be C or even sometimes at D++ level. However, Zack's physical strength is half a step away to becoming a SS-Class Wizard level of power. And that is without magical power.
And with magical power, he already SS-Class. One can say Zack can be counted as a half SSS-Class Wizard due to how strong he has become.
Which at the age of 18 years old. Is a very scary feat. In fact, the only people in Fairy Tail can defeat Zack, is maybe Erza if she goes all out. Makarov who already a Saint Wizard, Laxus who at the same level as Zack. And Gildarts, who might don't need magic to defeat Zack even in his current level.
After all, Gildarts is a true monster, as you will expect from Fairy Tail's strongest. As this is his status.

It unknown how can a human like him be this strong. This is not a level that can called a simple powerhouse among the wizards of this world. His magic stats alone are near the level the mortal's limit, nearly reaching the true realms of so-called gods, or so it says in the information that God has given him.
And his physical stats, unlike Zack who had the help of Gravity Magic to harden the outside of his body. And used the power of his Quake Magic (Gura Gura no Mi), to vibrate his muscles and inside to increased his physical stats. Which Gildarts on the other hand, doesn't have such cheat-like magic that Zack does.
In fact, it makes one curious how can Gildarts has overall B in all physical stats as a human being. After all, B in Resistance is the realm where your body is as hard as iron and steel!
Back to topic…
Makarov's magic that can turn into a giant, as well his vest experience. Will make anyone a headache dealing with him. Making him a perfect example of stats are not everything when it comes to strength. Stats are how strong your body is, and magic itself is another factor. After all, do you need to care about physical stats, when you can increase them with Giant Magic?
That also applies to Laxus. He is a Second Gen Dragon Slayer, even if their stats are near to each other. Laxus's magic alone has a lot of firepower. Of course, it more like an even match between Zack and Laxus if they fought.
But training his body wasn't the only thing that Zack did this last six months.
He refined his magic as well. Making new moves with his Quake Magic (Gura Gura no Mi), and his Gravity Magic. As for his personal magic Strengthening Magic? Honestly not much change when it comes to that magic.
Zack decided to put that magic away for the time being. Since it good when it comes to situations when he needs a sudden raise of power for any of his physical stats. But he felt he could do more with it. But he needs more knowledge to gained that.
It wasn't something he can improve at the moment, since he doesn't have the access to the guild's library at this moment.
Another thing that Zack did, was to train his martial arts. Both in the sword, and the hand-to-hand combat. And when Zack used his sword, Nightfall. Something strange happened, it begun to talk.
{Oh, Master? Why are you grinning like some fool? My last master also did that a lot… normally thinking about his wife, by the way, she was quite a sadist that one. Truly a woman I can respect, as she normally…}
Went a tattoo around Zack's right arm. Since fusing Ether with the sword, and actually breaking it one time. The ego of Nightfall awakened itself, of course, the first thing it said while scatting apart and fixing itself, was something that Zack truly don't understand, even to this day.
'Ahh! Yes! I love it when I feel my body shattering in thousands, no, millions! More! More! Bahahaha! I feel can the power!'
At that day, when fighting a giant monster at that time. Zack who awakens the Ego of Nightfall, this dark as the nights coloured greatsword. Had awaken the most perverted sword there is. (AN: Yes… Nightfall is a M)
It's a weird sword, that likes to be broken. Zack understands that if it breaks it will become more stronger… but for some reason it sounds wrong… if it wasn't for Erza that has given him this. He will throw this sword away long ago.
Needless to say, the sword is very useful besides it's personality. It can turn into a tattoo anywhere on his body. And regarding to the sword itself, it has traces of God Slaying Magic, that allows it to do damage to beings like Titans, Dragons and even Gods and so on.
According to Nightfall, who doesn't like that name. Even if Zack thought it was a nice name (Erza did as well). The sword real name is the Third Devil, Chaos Ruler. One of the Twelve Series of Devil Arms.
Nightfall told Zack at that time; it is a weapon meant to slay Gods. Made by his master, the first God Slayer. But he didn't have a name, and the Twelve Series of Devil Arms are capable of slaying anything that is magical, no matter they might be.
The main power of this sword is to add God Slaying Magic to the welder. By infusing both the magical power inside the sword, and the welder's magical power. That is why, when Zack used Nightfall's true power with his Quake Magic, it gives a shade of blackness now. Even his Gravity seems darker when he used it with Nightfall's true power.
Recalling all that, and letting Nightfall go on and on about its former master's wife. Which Zack lost interest a while ago. Since he doesn't understand a single thing this perverted sword is on about. Nightfall itself, suddenly stopped talking and mentions something in a serious voice, which is unlike its strange self.
{…? It seems I can sense a magical power from here Master.} Nightfall.
"Magical powers… you can sense magical powers, Ether you mean?" Zack asked.
{Be it Ether, mana, aura, or magical power. They all the same, if you can use Ether and control it. Means you can also sense others' magical powers. Just focus onto the surroundings, Master, and you able to sense it as well.} Nightfall.
"If you say so." Zack said that, as he closed his eyes. focusing on his surroundings, trying to feel the Ether around him. It didn't take Zack long thanks to his Growth Rate cheat, that he was able to sense the Ether around him. And focus on the path of activated Ether or magical power.
"That way ah…" Zack went, looking at where the source of magic power coming from.
{Master… you already sensed Ether…? Isn't a little too quick Master?} Nightfall went, which seems surprised seeing his monstrous training speed first hand. Nightfall already knows that its Master has such ingenus ways of training himself. After all, who else used the pressure of Gravity Magic strengthen the body?
Of course, Zack didn't tell Nightfall, that he also used the vibrations of his Quake Magic (Gura Gura no Mi) to also strengthen his insides as well. Making his muscles more robust from the insides.
Zack, along with Nightfall (Tattoo form). Walked towards the source of the magical power. And when they reached where the source is, they saw a little girl with pink hair and eyes all alone in this forest.
The girl seems around 10 or 11 years old. At first, Zack wanted to ask what's she doing out in the middle of nowhere. But he didn't bother, as he just watched the girl, and her magic. Which seems to be a magic that can summon strange looking swords that are oddly shaped like tears, but also can see through them as well.
Understanding this little pink haired girl, has come here to trained just like him. And becoming curious of the little girl herself. Zack cannot help to check her Status.
