Chapter 33: Arriving in the Taiyo

Salem's Pov

It's been a week and some days since the conversation with Marella for a mission to the east. Morrigan and I were just still in sunspot town and she was just relaxing while I worked on my magic. I was working on putting percentages on two of my forms so I didn't go crazy every time I used them. Kagura helped me out a lot in that area and I helped her with new ideas to use her gravity magic.

Though we did train together often she was busy for about 4 days dealing with Millianna who was upset about the 'death' of Erza. Though I couldn't help at wonder which level I could be at when it comes to the main cast

Now I was just in the forest to see if my hard work had paid off at least

.

"Animal Soul: Quetzalcoatl 15%!" I chanted and I felt the power coming in but I had to focus hard to keep the magic output at a low. I saw the image of the Quetzalcoatl glaring at me before disappearing.

I opened my eyes and felt the power of the Quetzalcoatl but not to its full extent but still gave me a boost. I got up and stretched and did feel much of my magic being drained. I re-quipped my phone to see what I look like now.

I had the snake like green eyes, a little scale on my face and hand, and finally the Aztec headdress on.

"Wow funciono!" I said excitedly. "Dulce I can actually properly train in this form." Even though some key elements were missing like the feathers and wings this was just 15% of the power.

I breathed in and out when a large quantity of air started to gather around me since I was more used to using wind-based attack, I wasn't that much of an issue controlling. A mini tornado formed in my hand then I fired a big tornado-like attack blowing away a lot of trees. I smirked and nodded to myself as I felt like a certain air bending avatar.

I was about to continue experimenting when suddenly my phone began to ring much to my annoyance as I was going to try more wind magic and test this form's unique fire magic.

"Hola." I answered.

"Hey kid, stop playing around, it's time to leave so hurry up and get to the beach." Morrigan told me.

"Hijo de puta." I sighed. "Okay senora mayo I'll be there soon."

"Are you in that giant hybrid feathered snake form of yours again and why do I feel like you just insulted me!?" She yelled and I quickly cut the phone.

I switched to my giant sparrow form and fly off to the beach and when I got there I saw only Morrigan. She was wearing a white shirt tied upper showing off her stomach, white shorts, a straw hat and white shoes.

I landed and transformed back to normal.

"Yo where's our ride." I asked her to look around.

"Marella will be here soon." She answered.

"Anyway, what were you doing using that form of yours? I thought I told you not to do anything dangerous this week." She put her hips and chopped my head.

"Ow easy woman." I rubbed my head.

"Remember that percentage thing I've been working on all week."

"Yeah, so finally did it.?"

"Yep." I said proudly.

I then saw Marella walking over to us wearing some sexy water theme armour.

"Kid your hormones in check you thirsty boy." Morgana pinched my cheek.

"Good I see your both here don't worry your method of travel will arrive shortly." Marella stopped in front of us. "In the meantime I want to discuss matters concerning the mission."

"Oh boy what is it this time." Morrigan had a deadpan expression.

"Oh nothing major, just Kagura-chan is coming with you."

"Wow hold on there little mermaid shouldn't you have a senior mage come with her because i'm not going to be babysitting her." She shook her head.

"I know senpai that's why Raiden-san will be the one in charge mostly as she was the one who requested you two." She waved it off.

"Good because looking after one kid is bad enough."

"Man it's not like we're around each other 365." I rolled my eyes. "But why though." I asked.

"Yeah, it seems a little last minute." Morrigan added.

"Well to be honest I want her to gain more experience as the missions were receiving haven't been really been her pushing much." Marella sighed. "It was a challenge to get her to accept this mission though she could be so angsty sometimes despite how mature she tries to be."

"Why does that matter?"

"Five years ago me and the previous master found Kagura while searching for her brother who went missing after he went missing when her village got raided by the followers of Zeref. Recently she just found out he was killed by a very powerful man and now she is obsessed with killing him."

"A revenge take huh. I thought you would support it."

"Believe me I don't but I can understand her situation. Her target of revenge is a very powerful man and she's been stagnating with her strength so this would be a way for her to gain good experience."

"Okay she's your subordinate so I don't really care." She shrugged her shoulders. "Speaking of wish, where the hell is she?"

"Millianna and Bertha are helping her pack."

I hummed at that. Now over our stay here I didn't really make an effort to get to know the mermaid heel guild as I was busy with my own stuff. While Kagura and I are friends I barely met Millianna especially after the demise of 'Fairy tail'. I think she got better and while we were still friendly with each other it was more of that friend of a friend situation.

Suddenly we saw something coming out of the water. A similar comparison I could make was the it was similar to those ships used in Aquaman. It looked really cool too.

The door began to slide open revealing a male. He was tall, dark skinned, muscular, hand long smooth hair, brown eyes, and fin like ears. He wore a golden armour.

"Hot damn.~ I heard Morrigan whistling.

The man walked over to Marella and bowed, then they started speaking to each other in another language which I couldn't understand.

"Morrigan-senpai Salem- San this is Tristan. He will be your escort on your journey to Taiyo." She introduced him.

"Hey it's nice to me yo-HEY!" Morrigan shaved me out of the way.

"Hey there handsome it's great to me you too~. She said flirts and touched his chest plate using her finger the guy looked like he was fighting a losing battle. "Oh my~ impressive material you have here handsome~." She said getting closer to him but she was splashed with water.

"Senpai please behave yourself." Marella lectured.

"Oh can't a girl can't have a little fun." Morrigan pouted.

"Pft and you called me thirsty, maybe you should listen to your own advice." I joked.

"Quiet punk." She hissed while pinching my cheeks.

"Ow hey stop that!" I tried to get her off me.

"I'm flattered, Mrs. Morrigan but it's inappropriate to do such things in front of your son." Tristan commented.

"The fuck we're he'/she's not my son/mom." We said the same time while we continued pulling each other's cheeks.

"Oh my apologies." He apologised.

"Don't worry if I didn't know senpai I would have thought they were mother and son too." Marella joked a little.

"Why am I not fit for motherhood or something?" Morrigan asked, offended.

"No, that's not what I meant."

I finally got her hands on my face and turned to Tristan. "So Tristan out of curiosity where are you from?"

"I'm from Atlantis." He answered much to my surprise. "Surprised huh?" he chuckled.

"Yeah man this is my first time meeting someone from Atlantis. I have so many questions!" I said I was a little excited.

"I would be happy to answer them but you've met another Atlantian." He said amused and I was just confused a little and I saw Morrigan looking at a non-existent wrist watch and Marella just looked amused.

"Wait Marella is also an Atlantean." I realised.

"We have a winner~." Morrigan said sarcastically.

"Yes Salem-san I'm from Atlantis" She confirmed.

"Wait, why didn't you say anything? I have so many questions about your civilization. Your culture, your language, your city structure and…"

"Alright cool it junior you can ask Tristan while on the trip if he is not busy with other things~ ." Morrigan winked at the poor guy.

Suddenly Kagura showed up with a suitcase in hand with a grumpy look on her face.

"Kagura you're late, that isn't like what happened to you." Marella asked.

"I apologise master but Milliana and Bertha wanted to help shop for new outfits so they got carried away so I quickly ran back to my room and just selected myself and ran here." She explained.

"I see well I'm glad you're here, this is Tristan, he will be escorting you to Taiyo."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Tristan-san." Kagura greeted him.

"The pleasure is all mine." He returned it.

After that we said our goodbyes and entered the ship and it looked as good on the inside as it did on the outside.

Two days later.

I couldn't keep track of time down here but Tristan told us that it has been two days of travelling.

I got to know the guy better and he was a pretty nice dude. He was a little professional but not too much as he cracked a joke frequently.

I asked him some questions on Atlantis as I didn't want to ask personal questions which Kagura also got into as she was also interested to know about it. I recorded and wrote down everything he told me.

Morrigan on the other hand just wanted to get into his pants which she actually succeeded. Yeah there were fucking on the first day.

"Okay this is the place my lady said I should drop you three off." Tristan said as the door opened. It was a river basin area.

"Thank you for escorting us Tristan-san." Kagura thanked him.

"Yeah man, thanks a lot."

"Its not a problem at all I enjoyed your company." He smiled at us. "I'm sorry I couldn't stay a little longer I have to get back to take care of stuff back at kingdom."

"Oh I was hoping we could get a little more time together~." Morrigan purred.

"Move!" Kagura and I pushed her out and the woman made a 'call me sign'.

We got out of the ship and Tristan left, leaving us in the area.

"The country of Taiyo. Got to say I didn't think I would be coming here so soon." I looked around.

"You were planning on coming here?" Kagura asked.

"Yep." I nodded.

Suddenly a flash of purple lightning blinded me a little and I caught a beautiful woman. She was about in her late twenties, creamy white skin, long purple in a hime-cut and tied as a braid at the end, striking purple eyes. She wore a purple battle kimono I think with a katana strapped to her waist.

'Huh she looks like that chick from genshin impact.' I thought.

"Wow" I heard Kagura mumble and I when turned to her she was looking at the woman in awe.

"Hey there Haru, good to see you." Morrigan cheekily greeted.

"Morrigan-san please show a little more respect." She said sternly.

"Oh sorry hello Raiden-sama." Morrigan jokily corrected her.

"Do you know everyone?" I raised an eyebrow at my mentor.

"So you two must be Shupiwa-san and Mikazuchi-san. It's nice to meet you. I'm Raiden Harumi or Harumi Raiden in your case." She introduced.

"Hey it's nice to meet you." I offered my hand which she took.

"Hello Raiden-sama, it's an honor to meet you."

Kagura bowed. Raiden eying something off of Kagura.

"Impressive sword you have there Mikazuchi-san." She commented.

"Oh thank Raiden-sama, it was given to me by the previous master of my guild." Kagura rubbed her sword.

"So she was the one who taught you how to use it too." Kaguara nodded her head. "Interesting I can sense the power oozing off it. Please can you all grab on to each other."

We followed her instructions then a magic circle appeared below her. I felt something similar to Laxus lightning body but faster.

We suddenly found ourselves in rich Japanese estate but unlike the Shirukus this one matched the ones I've seen Lord's in anime have. Hell even like trees with purple leaves on them.

"Damn Haru you've really been doing well for yourself huh. Maybe I should just move here with you." Morrigan chuckled.

"Gold-digger~." I sang, earning a snack to the head. "Ow bitch." I mumbled. "But she is right though this is a nice place, Raiden."

"Your home is incredibly beautiful, Raiden-sama." She commented.

"Thank you for your compliments." She smiled a little. "This way please." She directed us
