Chapter 54: Phantom Lord (4)
~Silva POV~
"SHIT!!!"
*BAM*
Slamming onto Lucy getting her out of Juvia <Water Lock> rushing her out using Mastema to fly and swoop in to save her?
Easy right?
No.
It did not go according to plan at all because of one small factor I didn't take into account surprisingly enough…
Rain.
It went fucking south the second the rain appeared affecting my wings and gaining weight of the water that soon led to me spiraling crashing down onto –
*Boing*
Oh, no, or yes.
Feeling two soft substances from my hands…
I only look up as Lucy had a beat red expression as my hands are on her chest I immediately got up quickly apologizing to her, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to – "
*Shhh*
*Shh*
"<Water Lock>."
*Bu-blub*
Before I could finish speaking, I was suddenly caught inside a large mass of water with Lucy looking horrified as I look at the French guy and Juvia as I roll my eyes.
Ha!
Jokes on them I can hold, my breath underwater for hours.
Spectator: Insight!
Activating Spectator while deactivating Mastema I began to hear Juvia's thoughts as she blushed a bit seeing I'm having no visible struggle being underwater, 'Ahhh… Juvia, whatever could be wrong…? My heart beats so… I want to make him mine!! Juvia can't stop now!!'
Ah….
*B-Bmp*
*B-Bmp*
*B-Bmp*
Peak human senses for the win. I can hear her heartbeat faster looking at me.
Seems like all my time training my body working on condensing my muscles and the water play she has on me is working against her.
But enough of this.
*Woooosh*
*Creeee*
*PAKIIIIIN*
Chilling her <Water Lock> with my <Cryokinesis> along with my own strength busting out of there and breaking free of her trap much to the shock of the two as I listen more to Juvia's own thoughts with Spectator: Insight, 'He froze it and broke it apart… Juvia thought that her water lock could never be broken…!!! He and I… Ice and water… Could it possibly be… fate?!!'
With Juvia and Sol distracted I switched to Shambhala teleporting Lucy away from here asap getting her surprised, "Wait! Silva – "
*Wooosh*
Teleporting her away from here back to the Guild Mirajane should be there to know what's up Sol looked disappointed as he spoke, "Non, non, non! This good sir won't do well. Hmm… I seem to have no info on you, sir. No matter will you good gentleman be kind to where you took Miss Heartfilia?"
Raising an eyebrow at the French man known as Sol giving him a dirty look as my eyes dart towards Juvia with a neutral expression, "No way I'm handing Lucy to a creep like you. And who might you be beautiful young lady?"
'Beautiful!!!'
That seems to have done the trick as she blushes harder with Sol frowning connecting the dots but then smirks.
I don't like that at all.
He then voices out causing Juvia to come out of her stupor darting her eyes at me at what this fucker just spouting bullshit lies, "Why of course sir! You would rather risk your life to protect your friend's life and your lady's! After all, that is what the youthful vigor strapping man like yourself to help Miss Heartfillia in need. Quite the true essence of a gentleman risking your own life to protect a possible lover!"
What the fuck is –
Just as soon as what he said process into my head sensing Juvia's Magic Power rising along with an angry emotion...
Oh, this french fuck decided to play the skill of gaslighting Juvia's emotions directed towards me didn't he?
Ah… crab baskets.
My eyes dart towards Juvia as I read her thoughts with them going overactive imagination right now, 'Love rival!!! Risk his life… risk his life… risk his life…'
*Sniff*
Oh, you got to be kidding me.
Juvia soon cries and shivers as Sol took his cue to leave the scene. I quickly use <Observe> to see her level.
<Observe>.
[Juvia Lockser Lv.150 Element 4]
Shit.
The fucking French guy played with Juvia's emotions and words to react to this emotion by attacking.
That was when she got to her critical point as she began to steam up from the anger and the sounds of her water boiling as she growls at me losing reasoning, "SKREEEEE!!!! Juvia cannot accept!!!! Cannot forgive!!!! Juvia cannot allow Lucy to live!!!!"
*Bwaah*
*Bwaah*
*Bwaah*
Sensing the increased heat of the water trying to create a burning sensation from it she's producing she rushed towards me calling out the spell's name, "Juvia is filled with rage and jealousy!! <Sierra>!!"
Bad move.
As she came rushing at me, I didn't bother to dodge knowing what I'm about to so as pushed my hand forward waiting till it made contact and...
*SHIII*
Freeze.
Juvia's eyes widen in shock at how easily I froze her which wasn't that surprising to me in the least. I practiced turning things to ice instantly with my <Freeze> skill with Ur and Gray along with a few other tests.
However, my eyes widen next in pure shock where my hand landed on causing me to blush madly where my hand landed as I listen to her with a blush on her face, "I-It cannot be possible… No one could ever freeze Juvia's boiling water, but more surprisingly is…"
*GAMPH*
Groping her breast I immediately called off the ice on her body blushing that it was a complete accident damn it, "I'm soooo sorry!! I did not mean to have my hand landed on your boobs it was a mistake I assure you!!"
As I apologize for reading her thoughts causing me to blush harder in pure embarrassment, 'Juvia feels embarrassment. Juvia wants to stay way… stay within your ice. He released me from his ice?! He is simply too kind!!!'
That has nothing to do with that at all!!
Stop misreading the situation okay?!!
It was purely because I don't want to be labeled as a pervert damn it!!
It was an accidental boob grab!
Voicing out to her getting Juvia's attention on what I want to do again, "Can we have a do-over, okay!"
I really want to retry this after my fuck up trying to help and save Lucy. How the hell did I not expect of all things rain to screw up my landing into calculations.
Then somehow me conducting a fucking ecchei scene here. Wasn't this supposed to be a Shonen anime or something?
Contrary to what I expected though Juvia disagrees voicing out her intentions, "No… Juvia cannot cause you any harm. Juvia is stronger than Lucy. Juvia can protect you."
I mentally frowned when I heard that.
While it was my intention of getting Juvia as a partner it can't be in the case where she's the stronger one of the parties, here but me. Currently, she believes she can protect me because she belongs to one of the Element 4 and pride.
That of which I can agree with but for my future goal though I need her to get the impression I'm someone she can't defeat.
As she tries to confess but fails, I press her buttons causing her to become silent as I mutter these words with my back turned to appear to be confused about the rain, "Man… why is this rain is just so depressing."
*Shh*
*Shh*
With only the sounds being heard the raindrops I listened to her thoughts with Spectator active in self-defeat, 'This man… is the same as all of the rest…'
It's time for Juvia to break her own limits.
*BOOOM*
Releasing a massive steam of water boiling activating her <Sierra> spell as she yells out at me with fury in her tone, "YOU'RE JUST THE SAME, AREN'T YOU?!!!!"
Releasing her steam outward against me as I held my stance as I listen to her thoughts as she engulfs me in hot boiling water, 'Juvia… needs no one's love!!!! Juvia needs none of it!!!'
*Zush*
*Bloosh*
*Zsh*
*Zsh*
*Zsh*
Letting her out all of her pent-up emotions as she drags me around in boiling water as I listen further to her thoughts being confident of who she currently is, 'Ahahaha… Is Juvia a rain woman? No. Juvia is one of the Element 4!!! An Element 4 Wizard!!!'
Smirking at this I activated my <Glyphs> stopping her motion entirely from continuing forward as I began to focus my <Cryokinesis> power to the fullest commanding the atoms to my command and freezing everything.
*WOOSH*
The entirety of Juvia's attacks and her rain all began to freeze despite how high her boiling water attack spell <Sierra> is to any normal opponent they would be weeping in pain but in my case though…
You got to love being immune to temperatures right?
Wither its heat or cold this skill provides the best kinds of protection against it.
<Temperature Immunity> not only makes me immune to weather but all forms of temperature like Juvia's hot water to me is just normal water as my body is immune to the increased 'heat' temperature of her water.
It's a very known fact that I'm Juvia's hard counter ever since I drank the Teigu Demon's Extract and the extra perk of obtaining <Cryokinesis> alone in this fight.
*Chkk*
*Chkk*
*Chkk*
Even the very rain is freezing at my command as Juvia looked shocked at her Magic Power means nothing in the face of me as she comments on it out of pure shock, "He's even turning the rain to ice…? What amazing power!!"
Giving it my all putting my <Cryokinsis> into freezing everything in sight with even a cold breath shows while I mutter out a few words, "I always wanted to do this at least once… Ice Age."
*SHIII*
Turning everything I wish to freeze stuck in ice Juvia was caught up, "Aaaaahh!!!!"
*Krakl*
*Krakl*
*Krakl*
Juvia got turned into ice with more forming around as she returned into her normal body stuck in ice but then got destroyed as she fell free air style.
*Pachikkk*
*Whud*
Grabbing her before she would fall to the ground, she had a look of disbelief on her face muttering to herself, "Could Juvia… have lost?!"
I couldn't help myself when I made an awful ice pun right then and there, "Yeah… I think you needed a 'chill' pill but… look at the sky yourself."
Her eyes widen as she sees the blue sky for the first time causing me to smirk as she simply enjoys it deactivating my Spectator I lowered my head responding to her, "Hey Juvia right? How about next time we go another round together – and she's knocked out."
Just when we finished together, she faints mumbling making me sigh but also smile seeing I managed to win her heart before Grat at least and one member of the Element 4 down and out.
[You gain 150 EXP]
[LEVEL UP!]
[You have defeated one of the Element 4 [1/2]]
Booyah.
Wait a second...
Didn't I just pull a goku situation beating up a girl that... fuck.
