Chapter 140: Edolas (2)

~Silva K. POV~

I'm sorry but what?

Blinking surprised by this I didn't expect someone from this world to even know about me or that I'm from another world nor did I expect to be caught by someone with the title of Dragon God in her name to boot.

Regaining my bearings again seeing that denying would be pointless judging from her heartbeat I remained on guard genuinely curious how she knew, "That's a first… then again I never did reveal myself from another world but out my curiosity's sake how did you come about it?"

I felt 3 heated intents directed at me till they calmed down as Selene raised her hand signaling them to stop requested of them along with answering my questions, "My Moonlights stop. This is a matter between us otherworlders. As for your answer Silva, I hope you can answer some of my own. I merely witnessed your arrival on that peculiar summon circle by those Zeref cultists."

My eyes narrowed not letting my guard down as her bodyguards left tapping her hand for me to sit down.

Knowing best not to get on her bad side I followed sitting down. Not wanting to beat around the bush I immediately went right down to the business of my purpose being summoned here in a respectful tone, "Alright then lady. It's not like I have any better options right now but since I asked first it's only fair you get your question."

She smiled sweetly at this clearing her voice and responding to my answer taking a sip of her cup of sake in the process, "Ahh… at least you are gentleman from most of your kind. You're better than that old fool Elefseria or his allies. To begin I want to ask what was that Dragon that brought you here to begin things shall we?"

Nodding at this I agreed activating my Judgement Field and explaining it so that we both get what we want no lies weaved or intended in a clear tone, "Very well. But you don't mind if I activate my Judgement Field. Can't have any tattle tales or bad info exchanged right?"

*Shiii*

Judging her reaction she didn't show any dissatisfaction only agreeing with my words, "No. By all means, go ahead."

Seeing no dissatisfaction or anything I replied seeing no harm in trading information between the both of us for now, "From what I can gather you can say he's someone like me but race. The title alone is called the God of Games."

I didn't say [THE GAMER] because I doubt, she would get it. And seeing the bemused expression on her face it seemed like she found something odd or not.

Regardless though it was my turn to ask the obvious question with much restrained anger seething through my mouth, "Now then… it's my turn, Selene. Why did you take me when I was attempting to stop Anima at the most crucial moment saving my friends and family…"

Noticing my anger she merely replied in a neutral tone expressing her genuine honesty, "The only sole reason was to distract that God of Games you proclaim snatching you for myself robbing you of your infinite Magic Power."

This made me pause at the implications of what she said…

Was I always watched from the beginning or did Jack really stay around that long for her to not pull this stunt?

Many thoughts and questions arise in my head but no real answer to any of them. Much to my bitter frustration.

No that shouldn't be the reason why I'm concerned I can handle that later. Worry about the current situation at hand first.

Accepting the answer for now I began to ask the next important question after hearing her response to my prior question, "Why haven't you yet then? You have me within your grasp you could do it with your power unless…"

Her eyes said it all as I didn't notice this before they were alerted darting in one direction towards the moon.

I couldn't see how far or tell but something told me his watching our conversation as Selene only confirmed this with me right now her tone shifted with a slight quiver, "You already know why-y I haven't now? Or can't you tell his presence-e from afar? You could say he interfered by gazing at me transporting you outside my temple in Oni-Ga-Tsuki-i."

Ah…

Seems like Jack caught on to Selene's attempt to act upon witnessing the events unfold. My transfer from the bottom of the mountain must have caused her to accidentally transfer me to the bottom of Blackmoon Mountain rather than her temple.

Seeing him watching us I felt a lot better having the impending sense of doom avoided for now with his presence acting as a deterrent which leaves me with how to use this situation to my advantage…

Wait no.

Mentally thinking this through she hasn't exactly explained why she needed me to begin with…

However, it was her turn to ask the next question seeing she already answered my own regaining her composure in a calm tone, "Ahem! My turn dear Knight. Moving on I want to know if you ever heard of Acnologia."

Her voice shifted with coldness and fear coming out of her mouth when the name Acnologia was mentioned.

I confirmed with her on I knew of his existence and my plans to deal with him in the future in a serious tone, "Yeah. The fabled Dragon King, the Black Dragon of Apocalypse. I heard and knew of him. I hopefully plan to kill the bastard myself in the future."

Genuine surprise flashed on her face but she hardened at my claims wanting confirmation of my words in a serious tone, "Really? Most tried and they all died? What do you think you have the chances you can?"

Hearing her question I didn't have an answer for that one honestly as I replied to the truth currently, I'm not strong enough to say, "None at this current time. Maybe in the near future, I could with my infinite Magic Power but I'm still inexperienced in using it to be of any use to consider."

Selene's gaze hardened at me before finally acknowledging that fact as she crossed her arms at my predicament, "Perhaps… I've seen first-hand how fast you've grown. For human standards, impressive if given enough time you could…"

She trailed off in her own thoughts keeping her guard up before finally relenting as she responded to me in a serious tone, "Seeing that you have been quite cooperative do you consider possibly forming an alliance between merely the both of us in planning Acnologia's demise."

That threw me for a loop.

But then began her explanation giving her idea of an alliance between us giving her solid ground to place her idea, "Considering the power of this God of Games providing you with Magic Tools out of this world… you might be my best shot dealing against Acnologia. What say you human from another world?"

Closing my eyes considering the idea…

While I hate her guts for dragging me along perhaps my LUCK stat did provide me something genuinely good from this encounter.

A person mad enough to continue picking a fight against the Dragon of Apocalypse. You don't see or find those kinds of people anymore apart from Zeref.

Then again though Zeref only wanted Fairy Heart to travel back into the past to kill Acnologia straight up while he was in a weakened state.

Thus, he as an ally fighting the Dragon was a useless endeavor but she on the other hand. Selene has legitimate reasons to hate Acnologia wanting him gone and possibly insane enough to request assistance.

Probably not directly but having a Moon Dragon that can travel between dimensions could have its uses, especially during the war in the coming future.

I despise her nature and personality, but finding an ally like this would be near impossible and can provide me support when the time comes.

Reluctantly though I agreed seeing I won't get a chance like this in the future sighing out and agreeing to her alliance for the time being responding, "As much as I hate your guts bringing me here against my will… I won't let my hate blind me to an advantage here. So yeah, you have your alliance, Moon Dragon Selene."

She merely smiled at this soon taking out 2 Skill Books with names attached immediately getting my attention to her words in a soft tone, "I very well hope so Silva Knight. As an apology I have gathered these two books for you to use. I've seen you convert books into useable spells or skills. These will certainly help you in the future."

Tapping the Skill Books in question 2 names were brought up surprising me on how she managed to get them.

[You obtained the skill book 'Galaxia Blade.' Would you like to learn this skill?]

[You obtained the skill book 'Meteor Blade.' Would you like to learn this skill?]

The first two are from the Celestial Spirit King's skills. I recognized them anywhere as I couldn't help but ask in shock, "What?!! How the heck did you even!! What…?!!"

Selene merely waved her hand off as I deactivated Judgement Field from her words in a determined tone, "These? That old buffoon in the Celestial Spirit World wasn't using them collecting dust. It best someone with a blade like you use them."

I looked at her shocked as she chuckled at my expression not minding me having two skills that belong to a ruler of his dimension in a neutral tone, "Hahaha!! I can see why most members want to see that miserable shocked face. Think of it as trust between the both of us. We can't have trust if we doubt each other now don't we comrade?"

It feels weird having a Moon Dragon God calling me an ally but she's also hot and sexy as well easily beating all other girls I know in the looks and development department.

But her personality and possibly past war crimes are a big turn-off to me.

Regaining my focus Selene gave me her word to send me to Edolas with mild amusement in her tone, "I simply wish to see how entertaining your life will become young man. It's certainly given me much earned entertainment over the years viewing the rise of new heroes or legends in the making. I'll open the path needed to reach Edolas in the next parallel world to Elentear. After all, you might be my best weapon against Acnologia and others…"

Leaving the last part hiding her real mention of Dragon Gods, I left it be for now considering they would be next on my list after Acnologia dies.

For now, she told me things happening in Edolas that Natsu and co met up with Lucy causing me to sigh in relief giving me a room for the night to recover from the mental exhaustion I gained from this whole trip.

But at least I gained a valuable ally in my fight ahead. Now I should focus on helping the rest of the guys out as soon as I can.

Don't worry everyone I'll be there shortly just hang on for a bit longer…
