It Seems That You're Looking to Die

As Jhin dove deeper and deeper, he was surprised how could there be such a powerful aura! Ever since he came out of the forest, he found it hard to find any match. And even though he knew that there are more powerful beings in this world than him, he never expected to met them soon.

At the bottom of the sea, a creature was laying on the ground. Its eyes suddenly snapped open but it did not move. It stared at the little figure coming at him. If you see its form, its is an extremely long, golden serpent-like dragon with two sets of legs with sharp claws and a pair of golden antlers on its head. It's golden eyes were shining like it contained millions of stars in it. It opened its mouth which was like an endless abyss that could devour anything.

"Why have you come here, human?" said the Serpent Dragon loudly and released a terrifying aura that made all of the creatures on the Ocean tremble and flee with fear.

Jhin, who was 200 hundred meters away from the Dragon was also terrified. The Dragon was not releasing it's pressure but its aura. Even then, Jhin felt that a mountain was pressing on him. He felt like an ant that could be crushed in a blink of an eye, it wasn't a new experience but it was the first time that the feeling was this strong.

"Why have you come here, human?" repeated the Dragon, this time it retracted its aura.

"Chinese Dragon?! Ah, Sorry for the intrusion. I sensed a powerful energy from here so I thought a treasure was born." explained Jhin, he never felt so tense before. When Jhin saw the appearance of the creature, he was shocked. It was a Chinese Dragon, like the one he once saw in a Chinese festival, the difference was that it wasn't red in color. And the setting in in this world is western-like, he thought that the dragons must also have western-like appearance.

"Treasure? There is no treasure here, go back where you came from, you're disturbing my sleep!" said the Serpent Dragon.

"Sorry for disturbing you. I'll take my leave." said Jhin as he prepared to rush out.

"Wait. Since it is fate that brought us to meet, I will give this to you. Although you're strength is not bad in this world, you can only access a little over 4 percent of it's full power. " said the Serpent Dragon. A sheathed sword appeared in front of Jhin as the Dragon shut its eyes to continue sleeping.

"Thank you, senior." Jhin gave his gratitude and immediately stored the sword and rushed out of the sea.

When Jhin left, the Dragon again opened it's starry eyes. "So that's the one my Master told me of,I never expected to meet him so soon. I hope his strength will rise faster, so I could get out of this damned fragile world." murmured the Serpent Dragon bitterly and closed its eyes again.

...

When Jhin finally got out, he could only sigh in relief. He floated above the sea and took out the sword the Dragon gave him and examined it. When he held it, it was like a normal sword. But it was anything but ordinary, Jhin could sense a strong bloodlust a sparkling feeling from the sword(Katana), it was like it could freeze his heart just from staring at it.

"What a good sword. Who was that Dragon anyway, so generous. Alright, from now on, I'll call you Storm Razor!" and as if hearing Jhin, the sword suddenly trembled and unsheathed itself. Sparks of yellow lightning came out of the sword and it covered exactly a 100 meter of the sea. Jhin didn't know why, but he felt like the sword was dancing with joy. After a few minutes, the sword returned to its sheath and the storm of yellow lightning also stopped.

And as a Weapon Grandmaster, Jhin already felt that he could wield the sword without any wrong movements. He decided to continue explore the sea and familiarize himself with the sword. His figure disappeared and he continued to fly with half of his max speed. Because of the Dragon earlier, Jhin could sense that the 'powerful' monsters who were originally very far from the surface of the sea, surface. Time to level up.

...

"Where is Erza!?" Natsu shouted as he sent another punch to the face of Wally, the dandy blocky man.

"On t-top of the Tower." said Wally and pointed his finger above.

Natsu immediately let go of Wally and ran towards the stairs followed by Gray and Happy.

"Jellal, right?1 If i meet him, I will definitely beat the hell out of him. No, I'll kill him!" said Natsu, his face showing distortions that only villains would possess. He never felt so angry before that he wanted to kill someone. Even Gray was angry that his body was emitting cold air. Happy who was with them was immediately scared but still stayed silent.

"Let's go!" said Gray coldly. Ever since they saw Jhin kill someone and then told them that if you don't uproot the root, it will grow back again, their attitudes towards their enemy drastically changed. And it wasn't just that. When they were being 'trained' by Jhin, he always told them that they would have died if they met more powerful enemies.

"Hoo-hoo-hoot Kick!" shouted a weird muscular man with a weird chicken helmet that covers his face. The weird man was carrying 2 tanks that are connected in his back. He intended to kick Natsu but was parried with Natsu's elbow.

"Fire Dragon Claw!" countered Natsu as he flipped in the air and hit the man in the 'face'. The weird man was sent flying but stood up. The man stood up again, seemingly not affected by Natsu's punch.

"Did you really think that would affect me, hoot?" the weird man even taunted Natsu.

"Natsu, stop playing around and finish it already!" said Gray. It is true that the man was indeed strong, strong that they would be a match if it was three months ago. But that was three months ago, if they couldn't even finish such opponent even after all that training done, then they would be an embarrassment too Jhin.

Fukuro, the weird man suddenly felt an ominous feeling. Natsu inhaled, bent his back, raised both of his hands creating an image of someone holding a trumpet, then..

"Fire Dragon... Rooar!" with a shout, a spell was cast. The flame was small at first, but it gradually got larger and larger until it engulfed Fukuro, creating a big explosion that almost destroyed the entire floor.

"Impossible!" said Fukuro while still being barbecued bu Natsu's flame. He did not even have time to use his trump card yet he was already beaten. It was really frustrating for him.

"Tch, Let's go!" Said Gray. They started to run again upwards.

...

After winning a fight with a Swords woman, Ikaruga, who uses the Mugetsu-Ryu Style.

"It's been a while, Erza." said a shadow in the dark.

"Jellal. I will free my old friends." said Erza seriously and pointed her sword at Jellal.

"I don't mind. I have no further need of them. The Paradise Tower is completed. A little more time and the Etherion will fire, when it fires, my plan will be finished. And you, it is your destiny to be the sacrifice for the revival of Zeref. Just 11 minutes more, haha." Jellal laughed maniacally, his face showing distortions, and his right eye suddenly changed. It changed shape in to a... anyway the color changed into pink.

"I had to change the schedule of the plan because of that Jhin, your new guild member. Thankfully, he left. Now, there is no more disruptions in it. Let's continue." said Jellal.

"Plan? What plan?" asked Erza. She suddenly had a bad feeling about it.

"Oya? You still haven't figured it out? Then I'll tell you, since you are the sacrifice. It wouldn't be good if you died miserably without even knowing anything. The Paradise Tower needs a large amount of magic in order to work. And the plan is to let the Etherion to supply it." said Jellal casually.

"Nani?! So that was your plan all along?!" muttered Erza. She suddenly felt fear and anxious. If that plan really succeeded, then chaos would break out and many lives will be lost, she needed to stop it.

"Since that is the case, I'll cut you down before the Etherion fires." said Erza resolutely. Currently she was only equipped with a sword with no armor, it was only Japanese cloth. The fight before with Ikaruga drained her magic.

"Now, don't even bother to resist." said Jellal. A ball of dark magic appeared in his hand and crushed it. Erza was the target. The place where she stood suddenly sprouted tentacles of dark magic rendering her unable to move, until it shrouded her. It turned into a large ball, and Erza was trapped in the center of it.

"While it seems you improved over time, I guess that's as far as you could go." stated Jellal. He was preparing to move when he heard sounds at the entrance, it was the sound of footsteps. It wasn't just that, he could feel a strong killing intent directed towards him.

"So you are that Jellal? It seems that you're looking to die, eh? How about I send you to hell then?" Gray said as they entered. It sounded casual but anyone would feel extremely chilled in their heart.

Natsu didn't speak but you could see his eyes radiating strong killing intent. There was also scale-like mark right below his eyes.
