Chapter 173: Secret Boss Rush Quest (2)
~Silva K. POV~
Heading towards my destination I couldn't help but shake in excitement of the challenge ahead.
That and the 5,000,000J were on the line I can't lose this quest.
Ah…
It reminds me of my time playing Kingdom Hearts final boss against Terra all over again seeing the max HP and stupidly OP STR stat that armored bastard had…
*Shiver*
Oh, I felt a shiver on that one reminded me of those times.
Putting aside the interesting facts about the Holy Pentadrakes known as the Five Dragon Gods are considerably facts I didn't know about in this land.
The Dragon Gods were completely uninvolved in the history leading up to the wars of the Dragon King Festival their very existence was kept a secret.
Even among the Magic Council those who knew them numbered a few. The 5 massive dragons keep their peace unless something massive occurs.
But if they go to war, the earth will be rent, and the sky will burn. They are disasters incarnate.
Elefseria learned first of their experience and began to learn Dragon Slayer Magic, but even he could not do anything to them.
He believed someday someone would come along that could succeed where he had failed, so he had failed, so he made his mission quest.
That was more than 95 years ago by this point.
*VOOOM*
Using my Magic Flying Carpet I finally got to see the view of Ermina happily smirking at my first victim, "So that's the town Ermina huh?"
<Observe >.
[Location: Ermina
Description: Ermina is a harbor town with an aquatic theme and matching architecture. It's most well-known for being a city where the townspeople worship Mercphobia, the Water Dragon God.]
Interesting –!
My eyes soon gazed towards a man gazing at me we both calculated each other. The guy appears as a young man with shoulder-length hair, two long horns, and a facial tattoo over his right eye. He dons a dark coat over a long shirt, accompanied by loose pants tucked into pirate boots. His accessories include a necklace with three circular ornaments and black gloves that only partially cover his palm.
<Observe >.
[Merchobia Lv.? Water Dragon God]
*Tmp*
Landing to the side I see Merchobia analyzing me as his girlfriend or assistant surprised as landed on the rooftop of the building.
We both sized each other up with the girl speaking defiantly toward me, "You! Traveler are you here after our Lord's head!"
Gazing at her slightly I returned my attention towards Merchobia before exhaling and explaining myself to them in a calm manner, "Whew… not exactly. An old man by the name of Elefseria told me to seal the 5 Dragon Gods. However, if I find you or any of them peaceful I would rather deal with this in a nonaggressive manner if I can help it."
Merchobia gazed at me intently before finally sighing in relief as he explained to me in a calm tone, "You're not lying. I apologize for my assistant rude behavior Caramille she assists me in a variety of ways. Please let me give you a tour of our humble city."
Blinking surprised I shrugged as Caramille scowled at me at my appearance in their city, "Hmph! If you think of challenging our Lord, then go ahead. He's not a foe the likes of you can handle."
Merchobia lightly scolded Caramille as he showed me around town then to his Water Palace amazed by this city, "Come now, Caramille wait a moment. It seems I can reason with the man here. Please allow me to speak with him."
She reluctantly allowed it to trail behind us as the Water Dragon explained he saved her from being shipwrecked as a child. Then he showed me around the water palace along with their own auto-mated farming stocks, a medical facility for people and fish, and even a watch tower to save people who were shipwrecked.
Man… This guy is the definition of a good guy.
No, a saint to me.
I couldn't help but be impressed by this Dragon concerning the normal people making me feel bad for sealing him, "Damn… you're way too of a good guy. Are you really Merchobia, the Water Dragon God? You don't seem like a disaster."
At this Merchobia corrected me instantly expressing a scary expression in a serious tone, "That's not true. Despite what I seem now, the fact remains I have killed humans in the past. Like ants before the tide. I understand why Elefersia is after me I did kill his friends and family. At the time it felt like second nature to me…"
Smirking at this gazing at the city he created despite his claims I responded in an indifferent tone, "Sure… but you seemed to have a change of heart. Let me guess the little lady changed your mind?"
He merely smiled in return in a genuine gentle expression responding to my claims happily to me, "Yes Carmille was the beginning. The truth is I didn't even want to save her. When I found her I didn't think of her more than prey. But I became strangely attached to her… and before I realized it, I'd begun to walk down the path of coexistence. But…"
His eyes cast down explaining to me this guy's issues of his own power growing out of control in a serious tone, "Very soon I must disappear from this earth. My powers have been growing steadily out of control… My powers will eventually stretch to the neighboring cities, and then those beyond those."
Raising my eyebrow getting straight to the point in a blunt tone, "So you want me to kill you?"
He only turned around and nodded with a smile on his face curtly nodding what his requesting to me, "That is why I have been waiting for people who can kill me to come. Do you have what it takes? I won't resist."
Sigh…
Great my first target his fucking suicidal.
Shaking my head placing an enchantment on him to create some seals earning his attention, "Sigh… way to make a guy feel depressed. But frankly, I don't need to kill you just seal your ever-growing power. Hold on…"
*Shiii*
Time to check out using my latest skills training my Enchant Magic on this guy <Seal >.
Skill List.
----
<Seal > (Active) Lv. MAX
MP Cost: Varies
Destruction: Using Enchant Magic the user creates a magic circle of enchanted seals on a target effectively sealing 10% of their overall power.
----
Add that with my <Enchant Infinity> and you get yourself a power no matter how much you try to power through will always remain 10% sealed off.
Creating a set of seals adding <Enchant Infinity: Seals> over his body his eyes widen in shock recognizing my style in a surprise tone, "Spirit Arts… I didn't think there was anybody here that could use that style. And to use Enchant Magic combined with Spirit Arts… who exactly are you?"
Smirking at this placing a set of 9 seals on his Magic Power heart effectively lessening his Magic Power in check to only 10% of his power currently, "Oh, I'm the Trickster of the Fairy Tail Guild Silva Knights! A pleasure to meet yah Water Dragon God Merc."
Twitching at the mention of being called Merc to shorten his name his eyes widened as he began to check his power, "Wha… my Magic Power… I can access about 10% of my power but still feel my inner Magic Power in check. Tell me Mage what seals you used exactly?"
Smirking rubbing under my nose at my own genius responding in a proud tone, "Easy. I set over 9 seals over you each suppressing your Magic Power by 10% each. They can be reopened when you feel like you need them, or if the situation calls for it and can't be erased by other means. Once broken you can reseal them with your Magic Power by saying 'Reseal' and it will do the trick. You're welcome by the way."
He tried to use his Magic Power feeling his strength.
*BOOOM*
As he does so the water around starts to furiously shake as he responds with my term, "Reseal."
*Shiii*
The seals all reappeared suppressing his Magic Power in shock thanking me as he bows for helping him restrain his Magic, "It really worked… thank you humble Mage for sealing my powers."
Scratching the back of my head lightly at his compliment I couldn't help but blush a bit in embarrassment, "Ah shucks… your gonna make me blush at my own awesomeness hehehe… but in all seriousness though…"
[Ding!]
[You have sealed one of the Dragon Gods [1/5]!]
Returning to the situation at hand with this Water Dragon God I responded confident against the other threats ahead, "Can you tell me anything else about the other Dragon Gods?"
Merc nodded his head happily as I also said immediately whispering to him, "Also do you know any souvenirs that would make any great gifts?"
Merc smiled showing me around the place where to find the gift shop.
I got to show up Gildarts the quest he sucked stuck for years only to return in shame of defeat when I cleared the quest, he failed in the fastest time possible.
Got to show my dominance being top dog disrespecting the Ace of Fairy Tail doing this.
It's not about clearing the quest no…
It's all about beating Gildart's pride out of this water when they all return!
All in the name of payback for that bastard tossing me around like a ragdoll!
He will never Hulk Puny God me ever again!!
Hahaha!!!

~Elefersia L. POV~
[November 10, X790]
*Shiii*
Nani?!
My eyes widened in shock seeing the painting of the 5 Dragon Gods as the one colored for the Water Dragon God suddenly vanished meaning that it was finally sealed.
It has only been a day since the young man I directed where the Water Dragon God Merchobia…
What kind of man was sent to deal with such a Dragon in a day?!
Still…
Smiling at this happily it means that perhaps this 96th hero could do what none have done before completing this quest.
For the last 95 years, no one has been able to defeat it.
But now one of these Dragon Gods has been defeated.
Huh…
With him maybe…
Just maybe he can complete this quest…
