Chapter 47: Assistance

~Silva POV~

[July 22, X784]

After my training with Erza Extreme as always, I decided to put the rest of my time into training my <Mana Manipulation> and <Courage> to gain better control of my Mana within me along with outside my body.

Back at the Great Plains, I began to be working on control a bit more I have been hoarding my Daily Quest for the last week gaining 21 stats and saving it up till I have enough. With 36 stats saved up, I have been thinking about which ones I need first.

Nearing 50 stats on a few of my stats I have to be careful on which ones I need to be careful of first.

Opening up my status screen I began to focus on which stats I need to place on that can prove to be beneficial for the upcoming fight ahead. With STR, INT, and VIT being especially important for a prolonged fight it would be best to increase those stats first.

Hmm…

I'll settle for these stats then in the meantime and see if I gain any perks for getting them to 50 each.

And… there!

[Ding!]

[Your STR stat has reached a 50-point mark!]

[Passive Skill <Peak STR> has been added!]

[Ding!]

[Your VIT stat has reached a 50-point mark!]

[Passive Skill <Peak VIT> has been added!]

Raising an eyebrow at notifications I felt the changes in my body become more evident than ever before feeling my VIT and STR changed drastically from before.

I even felt that my own body had gone through a change seeing it become more or less lean no more compact than before feeling my muscles gain a boost of sorts.

Is this how it feels to achieve to gain a perk when I arrived to get my stats at 50?

I wonder what can they provide for me.

What the hell… this is OP and could easily solve my issue for prolonged fights a lot better now with these two.

And the nice perk of my body being Peak Human Strength and Endurance along with the beneficial need of not being able to waste my energy for the next 12 hours is a benefit in itself to have.

Before I could marvel at my body a bit more, I then hear an old friend of mine making me smile as she comes around looking for me, "Ah, glad to see you up, Silva. Saw the training with Erza… one word. Ouch."

Ouch indeed.

I can even feel the pain despite being completely healed.

But ignoring that for the moment I began to focus on the Mana in the air converging within my body as I multitask taking out the Mana Method manual getting Mavis's interest, "Oh? It seems like you managed to have my interest dear old chum of mine. Mana Method Manual? Interesting term never heard of before?"

Giving it to her to read I began to explain to Mavis that I found it on the island not revealing I got it from my reward explaining to her getting her interest immediately, "I found that item within the rubble on Galuna Island thought it would come in handy if I managed to learn if it was a spell or not. But I couldn't decipher it since I lack the know-how. I was hoping to ask Levy about it but haven't seen her for a while."

At this, Mavis merely nods giving a look over the pages of the book with confusion on her face flipping through each page, "Hmm… I don't recognize any of these Rune Arrays written in the book. And I have a library worth of knowledge back on my home island. This may take some time to decipher…"

I was fearing she would say something like that.

She goes over the book a few more times flipping the pages making me a bit anxious as she cutely places her hand over her chin pondering the text within, "Hmm… this Mana Method Manual is certainly an interesting find. I didn't quite understand the text written without trying to find out the words first."

Handing the book back to me Mavis replied to me about her next objective to do in helping me out as she floated around, "Perhaps I have something in my library to help you out deciphering the rune arrays within the book. It'll take some time, but I trust to break it sooner."

Tapping her ghostly head with one of her fingers gesturing her point with a confident expression on her face, "It'll take me a few days or weeks to break the code down. But I have it all memorized in my head to make things easier. I wasn't the first master of Fairy Tail for nothing."

Smiling at that giving out a small laugh I then spoke to Mavis hovering around a bit longer in a thankful tone, "Hahaha… Thanks, Mavis. I owe yah one that's for sure. And I'll ask one of my Guild Mates to help out and see if there are any differences between the two to help out deciphering the Runes written in the book."

She merely does a mock bow as she grinned in response replying to me like an instructor would checking on their homework, "Why of course dear old chum it's not like I have anything going on. And besides that, how well have you been going connecting your spirit with the flow of nature have been progressing?"

[<Courage> LEVEL UP!]

[<Mana Manipulation> LEVEL UP!]

[<Courage> LEVEL UP!]

I merely replied with a shrug of more or less considering I'm having the Mana enter through my Gate and since then trying to have my physical spirit connect with the flow of nature with my <Courage> skill ensuring I have my connection with the Mana.

After all this kind of process does take time to pull off. Something which I'm sure Mavis noticed as well considering the fact that I have been trying to connect with the flow of the world to unlock my Magic.

She merely gives a curt nod in understanding seeing me train sighing speaking to me in a sympathetic tone, "Sigh… seems like you are trying to connect with nature is going to take a while. But it's understandable as well considering your circumstances with God affecting you like this. Limitless potential but lack of control over it not sure if the God you meet has a sick sense of humor or truly cares about your wellbeing."

You have no idea.

But judging she was done talking to me she began to take her leave and say she'll come by to meet again after figuring out trying to decipher the Mana Method Manual that I returned back into my <Lost Realm> using Shambhala.

Taking this time, I began to use this moment to look over the spells I gained sparing with Erza trying my best to beat her or at the very least land a hit on her.

Skill List.

<Slash> (Active) Lv.23/100 Exp: 78%

I only managed to create those skills because, at the time however, I thought they would be ground well enough to be used in combat which they are in a way.

But viewing the skills, I have I know I could do better if I try hard enough.

Regardless though I need to practice leveling my skills up since I need to be prepared for the upcoming arc next and with Erza beating the training into me I can better prepare myself against S-Class Wizards soon enough.

…

It's time.

With Mavis gone for a few days and with me finishing my practice with Erza time to use the Demon's Extract to finally gain another skill to be prepared for in the future.

Since Levy is gone on a job since I can't ask her for help with the Mana Method Manual along with Gray and Ur now busy together catching up for old time's sake, I'll need to train my way using ice on my own for a while.

Opening up Rongo Rongo from my <Lost Realm> I began to search for an area with no Magical Beast sightings as I smirked seeing just the location on the map.

*Fwp*

*Fwp*

Activating Mastema I began to fly to my next destination for the next remainder of the few hours next.

/////

*Fwp*

*Fwp*

*Thud*

Landing down on the ground where an unhabitable cave resides no one. It used to belong to a Wyvern a long time ago but has since been deceased with no one to claim it.

A perfect repellent for outside interference to fuck off.

Entering inside the cave making sure no one was around with my <Magic Sense> I nodded taking out the chalice from my <Lost Realm> and opening it up revealing a whole lot of blood smoking out or freezing out as I gulp at this, "I can't believe I'm doing this. But it's not Ice Magic but rather a free elemental ability. Well… bottoms up."

*Gulp*

*Gulp*

[Ding!]

[You have consumed the artifact Demon's Extract!]

[You gained the skill <Cryokinesis> via Demon's Extract!]

[Ding!]

[You gained the skill <Temperature Immunity> via Demon's Extract!]

Drinking the blood within the chalice I began to drink all of its portions down to the last drop placing the golden chalice back into my <Lost Realm> and licking off the blood from my lips in a proud tone, "You know that wasn't that disgusting – Ack!!! Fuck I spoke too soon."

'KILL!!!'

That was when I began to hear voices roaring out in my head clenched down trying to regain my sanity as the voices only grew louder each and every step pounding into my head wanting blood and violence.

'KILL THEM ALL!!!'

'WREAK HAVOC!!'

'TEAR IT ALL TO PIECES!!!'

'KILL!!!!'

The voices only got louder as I struggle to keep my sanity in check gritting my teeth as blood began to seep from my hands tightening too hard, "So this is what's like…"

[Ding!]

[You gained the skill of releasing murderous intent!]

[Skill: <Bloodlust> learned!]

[<Indominable Spirit> LEVEL UP!]

[Skill <Bloodlust> has been resisted!]

[<Bloodlust> LEVEL UP!]

[<Indominable Spirit> LEVEL UP!]

[Skill <Bloodlust> has been resisted!]

[<Bloodlust> LEVEL UP!]

[<Indominable Spirit> LEVEL UP!]

[Skill <Bloodlust> has been resisted!]

[<Indominable Spirit> LEVEL UP!]

[Skill <Bloodlust> has been resisted!]

The only thing I saw was my notifications increasingly leveling up my <Indominable Spirit> skill a lot as I started to lose consciousness from the constant voices in my head silencing itself ever slowly keeping my will stronger than it.

A/N: Thanks guys for helping me choose the poll and I think I finally settled on which Magic the MC should get it was honestly difficult for me to choose to be too indecisive with my choices.
