Chapter 205: The Final Goodbye (1)
Chapter 204: The Final Goodbye (1)
~Silva K. POV~
*Splash*
Exiting out using Aqua Mera with Mavis intoed with me for the trip to the Alvarez Empire enemy territory I sighed out loud, "Whew… talk about convenient. Saves the trip instead of paying up to come here."
Mavis for her part looked at me impressed floating by my side on enemy territory, "I have to say I didn't know you have a spell that transports us here instantly. And where…"
I interrupted Mavis shocking her where exactly we have been transported towards, "In the dead center of the Capital City of the Alvarez Empire. Welcome to Vistarion."
<Observe >.
[Location: Vistarion
Description: Vistarion is one of the major cities located in the Empire in the continent of Alakitasia, housing a significant population, gaining more notoriety over the years due to the monopolization of the country overseen by their founder and first emperor, Zeref Dragneel.]
Mavis's eyes widen as we take a walk around the enemy's home turf.
Being inside the empire's borders, the capital city consists of many tall, skyscraper-like castles surrounding the exterior. Within the city, there two to three-story buildings and row homes that barricade the town's streets, along with bridges that connect from one side to another and balconies for viewing.
There is a gargantuan castle in the center of the capital with many towers and sections. It towered over the entire city. There is a garden within the castle's grounds filled with numerous plants in floral scenery.
*BOOOM*
Flashing my <Magic Power> out this openly I was hoping to draw attention as Mavis sighed at my actions, "Sigh… here I was hoping for this to be a secret mission. Not God damn alert the whole enemy nation, Silva…"
I laughed boastfully listening to the steps of people already reacting to my release of Magic Power so openly, "Hahaha!! Yeah… but that's not true Fairy Tail fashion now isn't it? Can't make a proper farewell without a bang!"
She shook her head but smiled as the steps of soldiers could be heard, "Sigh… true. You wouldn't be a fairy tail wizard if you hadn't pissed someone off already. Although that's more on the lines of you."
I shrugged as my eyes soon landed on a group of Alvarez soldiers I smirked eagerly to throw my hands down, "I hope the soldiers here are stronger than the ones I put through in Fiore. Would be a damn shame if… someone had a nice walk."
Mavis merely looked at me confused as my days terrorizing Edolas came into mind pulling an Alucard on them.
I'm just tempted to do so to them here.
Because Alvarez is a massive militaristic empire, they possess humongous armies and their numbers extend above 2,300,000 strong.
It is noted that the soldiers are well-trained and have magic power that is nothing to take lightly, even a small fraction of the total force is a menace on its own. Emperor Spriggan is not the only commanding officer of these armed forces, as he possesses his own elite group of powerful Mages: the Spriggan 12.
"Halt this instance!!"
Before I could throw it down my gaze looked up to see a familiar sight grinning and waving at her, "Oh hello there Irene-chan! What a pleasure to see you here today~"
Mavis looked confused but scared detecting Irene's Magic Power contrary to what she expected Irene paled witnessing me gulping hard, "Gulp… Silva Knights… why do you have to come here while I'm on patrol…"
That caused the soldiers to freeze eyes widening in shock that one of their proclaimed strongest is trembling in fear merely witnessing me as I replied, "Oh, nothing much I merely came to end Zeref's life for good. Your empire emperor granting his wish, oh yada, yada, yada…"
Despite how nonchalantly I was being the soldiers gritted their teeth grinding them for disrespecting their Emperor so openly with one responding, "Leader –"
*PEW*
*Shiiii*
Oh, that's rough buddy. Death by explosive.
One shot from her <Disappear > spell killed the soldier that opened his mouth Irene glared at them trembling in fear of the Scarlet Despair, "None of you make a move or attack… his one enemy the Empire can't win against…"
That shut them up.
*Tmp*
Landing down she was cautious of me gazing intently trying to find any meaning to my words carefully treading around me, "You wish to kill the Emperor… I've seen my fair share of craziness and stupidity, but you take the cake, young man. Especially what you did to the Dragon God's mercy was the least –"
*Klank*
Hmm…?
[Ding!]
[Spell <Ice Slave> has been used!]
[Spell <Ice Slave> failed due to <Armor of Acnologia: Blood Armor the Black Dragon>!]
Tilting my head forward I see my next victim that deserves death.
Invel Yura a polite, snow-haired young man who embodies the very definition of decorum, he is very stiff and takes rules and regulations very seriously as the Empire's chief of staff, not fearing to chastise even his fellow Shields for their inability to maintain respect and order.
He controls a variety of Ice Magic to a powerful degree, ranging from Ice Slave which suppresses the free will of its victims to Ice Lock; Magic that traps two people together as their minds are controlled to Invel's whim. He holds the epithet "The Winter General" with the Empire.
Invel then tried to control me with his Magic as he spoke out loudly, "Irene! Quick eliminate the –"
*PEW*
However, instead of me ending him Irene killed him in an instant as Mavis was confused by the situation, "Uhh… I know I said that can you fight for me against a Kingdom… but aren't we supposed to be the ones to attack not the enemy killing each other?"
Yeah, I'm with Mavis on this one. The friendly fire is weird enough and I'm not getting EXP from this at all.
Confused by her actions Irene explained as sweat beads formed on her head about her actions she done, "I apologize Dragon Slayer but… He does not speak for everyone in the Empire. Please consider his death as acceptance for ignorance in controlling you."
She's a smart one. She noticed instantly releasing that his Magic wouldn't have worked the skin it contacted my skin… no. Rather because of my skill <Armor of Acnologia: Blood Armor the Black Dragon>.
Irene knows her limits and is trying to do everything in her power to not anger me. Perhaps her speaking to me was planned for time for me to stall or figure something out against me.
No rather testing if Magic would work on me. Either on the assumption that my Spirit Arts defend me against Magic or something else wouldn't have made their Magic useful against me…
*Tmp*
Not before too long another person joined the fray this one I wanted to talk in private as the other members of the Spriggan 12 or I guess 11 began to emerge each with varying expressions as the people around me began to flee.
Ajeel Raml is an uncouth, dark-skinned antagonistic young man who goes by the title of "Desert King". He masterfully controls sand, befitting his epithet. He also leads his own squad within the Alvarez Empire, known as the Ajeel Squad, comprised of the warriors and Mages hailing from the desert regions of Alvarez.
August elderly, bearded, and gray-haired man who dresses in a stereotypical wizard's garb, is accompanied with a staff, speaks in cryptic undertones and is the general and de facto leader of the Spriggan 12.
Due to his ability to copy any type of Caster Magic, he has been revered to have mastered countless types of Magic through history and is feared as the strongest of the Spriggan 12, with his epithet within the Alvarez Empire being the "Wizard King", partly demonstrated by his usage of Magic of incredulous power and its extensive scope. He is the son of Zeref, the emperor of the Alvarez Empire.
Bloodman a very tall, extremely muscular Etherious with an overall macabre appearance; wearing something reminiscent of an oni mask, as well as a dark demonic breastplate, partnered with metallic pauldrons and a long cloak.
Monikered as the very "Grim Reaper" himself, he massacred all who is in his vicinity due to his particular body, as well as possessing some of the Curses of the Demon-affiliated Guild Tartaros that he exploited at his discretion.
Brandish μ a scantily clad woman who controls a very advanced form of Magic that allows her to manipulate mass. She leads her own squad within the Alvarez Empire, known as the Brandish Squad, but seems not to care very much for her subordinates, as she has no qualms about sacrificing them to appease her apathetic, impatient whims. She also holds the epithet "Nation Destroyer".
Dimaria Yesta a cynical war empress that can majestically control time as well as her blades in battle. The leader of the Dimaria Squad, she was blessed with great power by the God of Time, Chronos, her valor and reputation are so renown that many claims she has conquered many battlefields, earning her the title "Warrior Queen" within the empire.
Irene Belserion a four-hundred-year-old Mage-turned-Dragon renowned as the "Scarlet Despair;" she is reputed as the most powerful female member of the Spriggan 12. She dresses in a somewhat primitive outfit, the latter trait further accentuated by her staff, which is as tall as her and split into a pair of huge antlers covered with leopard skin near the top.
She also leads her squadron, the Irene Squad, headlined by her top two underlings: Juliet Sun and Heine Lunasea. A High Enchanter, Irene can bestow and affix her Magic Power onto all things, including the atmosphere and the very earth itself. The only named Magic she possesses, Universe One, is a brand-new kind of Magic that allows her to reconstruct an entire country's geography to suit her fancy.
Jacob Lessio a tall, middle-aged man of patronizing nature, regarded as a master at the art of assassination and a genius user of Stealth and Transport; Magics that can completely camouflage his presence and teleport his targets into an alternate dimension respectively. He holds the title of "Assassin" referring to his mastery of magical assassination.
Larcade Dragneel a rather tall, young Etherious with spiky hair, who is dressed in a kasaya; he is characterized by his peaceful and harmonious attitude, always in the mindset to protect his family and comrades.
Titled the "White Dragneel" as the strongest failed copy of the attempts to recreate Natsu as E.N.D., his Magics revolve around the three human desires: sex, hunger, and slumber to incapacitate the ones before him; even rivaled for it to be able to present a challenge to Acnologia himself….
Phfahahaha!!!
Nah…
Moving on from that one…
Neinhart is a defiant, effeminate man adorned in ornamental armor. He relishes being able to gaze into his opposition's hearts to seed out their historias, manipulating it against their will. He also leads his own squad within the Alvarez Empire, known as the Neinhart Squad, headlined by the Four Heraldry Knights.
Wall Eehto a jovial human-looking Machia, who created mechanized weaponry to exploit his enemies' weaknesses and shortcomings. He is the leader of the Wall Squad; his title within the Alvarez Empire was "Judge".
I glared intently at God Serena as he swallowed his spit under my intense gaze replying hatefully at the man, "God Serena Rank 1 holder within the Ten Wizard Saints; has been regarded strongest Mage in the entirety of the continent of Ishgar…. Why are you here traitor…"
God Serena remained silent as Irene snitched easily breathing causing him to pale at her words I'm hearing, "He defected from his country and the Saints, all to join the Alvarez Empire and Zeref, for the sake of locating and killing the elusive final Dragon that in his words to spite you 'a pathetic weakling couldn't defeat from saving his family' Acnologia."
*SHINNG*
*BAM*
*SPLAT*
[You have obtained 8 dragons Lacrima's -]
Ignoring the messages as I swipe my knife simply cutting the man and easing my anger, "I see… well the King is gonna be pissed by the news. Wonder if that Seat is open though?"
All eyes landed on me and how I walked past them without realizing how I offed God Serena but seeing them this obedient I'm willing to talk this out, "Seeing how you all haven't attacked other than two pieces of trash… why aren't you attacking me or defending your land?"
