Chapter 82: Tower of Heaven (4)

~Third POV~

Returning to Silva's location clashing his Magic Power with Simon's he repeated to him again in a threatening tone, "I'll say this again Knights… tell me where is Erza…"

Not deterred by his <Cryokinesis> nor the freezing environment Silva remained defiant against Simon not revealing any information sizing up the man in front of him.

*Shh*

*Shh*

*Shh*

*Shh*

*Shh*

Before the two could collide in a frontal brawl Juvia in water state got in between the two admittedly defending Silva from Simon her tone filled with determination returning to her physical form, "You will not lay a finger on Silva-sama! Juvia will take you on!! Silva-sama there is danger gathering around not only Erza but yourself!"

However, Simon soon receives a message from his collogues with <Telepathy> Magic putting two fingers over his head and responding, "Hm? Have you already found her? Oh, fine. Yeah, I managed to find him but knowing he wouldn't allow her to be captured…. I can just do the cleanup, huh? Right!"

*WOOSH*

Suddenly darkness descended on the entire Casino resort blocking every one of their visions except Silva as he moved Juvia away to defend himself with his <Peak SEN> able to see through the darkness keeping his attention towards Simon as his Spectator eyes changed at his direction.

Everyone devolved into panics in their voices within the darkness.

*Jatter*

"Huh?!"

*Jatter*

"What's going on here?!"

Simon began to eerily reply explaining his Darkness Magic spell to confuse others entering his monologue, "It's the Magic of the Dark Linge. The <Black Moment> – Kagura?!!"

While he kept talking Silva used one of Spectator's abilities of Illusion Sight causing Simon to see the person most precious to him his little sister Kagura.

Not wasting any more time as Silva saw Simon lose his guard witnessing his little sister he used <Requip> to change with his Crushing King gathering his strength into a single point and increasing his STR by +75.

*WOOSH*

*BAM*

"ACK!!!"

Simon too distracted in his moment of weakness seeing his long-lost little sister even if it was an illusion had his gut punched using the power of Crushing King increasing his physical might flinching feeling the recoil of losing HP in the process.

*Thud*

Simon was completely knocked out causing the spell to dispel itself fainted with a noticeable bruise on his mid region as Silva took out a Small Salve pouring some on his hand, "Ouch… damn it. Using Crushing King is going to be a pain in combat, but it was better this way to end the fight early."

After pouring the Small Salve and seeing the healing properties effects working noticed he gained 125 EXP noticing Simon's level briefly using <Observe>.

[Simon Mikazuchi Lv.125 Darkness Wizard]

*Splash*

When Juvia regained her vision again adjusting the light, she saw Silva splashing some Small Salve on Simon's stomach with the wound fading before shaking her head at Silva's actions impressed, 'Ah! I knew my Silva-sama is a kind just man! Despite injuring him to this extent his kindness is awe-inspiring to treat others kindly. Just how he treated me despite attacking him in the past such is my Silva-sama!!'

Finishing checking his wound Silva nodded as he gave the rest of the Small Salve. He looked directly at Juvia and asked in a serious tone, "Juvia can you please do me the favor of looking after this man while I help my friends? And I promise to vouch for you that the Master lets you into Fairy Tail to the best of my ability."

Juvis nodded her head blushing agreeing to his words but couldn't help but ask in a curious tone tilting her head, "Yes my Silva-sama? But Juvia is confused about how you'll be able to handle the rest on your own?"

Using <Requip> taking out a Gaea Foundation in the form of a cosmetic kit he smirked looking at Simon's appearance and replying to Juvia's shocked expression, "Oh nothing special? I'm merely using the simple tactic of shock and awe tactic. I'll be back."

Waving his hand he began to search for Erza's group using the Teigu Gaea Foundation to shapeshift into Simon's appearance with no issue at all.

Returning with Erza and Lucy they were suddenly surprised by the sudden darkness enveloping everyone as Lucy called out worried, "What's with all this darkness about?!"

Erza realizes immediately something foul is afoot as she sees the sudden darkness coming without warning, "Something's wrong…"

*BWAAAH*

"!!!"

Erza immediately gets startled as her eyes suddenly get adjusted to the lights returning back again, "The lights are coming back… Sho…!"

But as soon as the lights returned Erza turned her head to find Sho he casually revealed to be behind them as cards fell to the ground, "Over here, sis."

"Huh?!"

Lucy immediately notices the cards on the floor and their eyes widen seeing people trapped inside the cards listening to their cries for help, "There are people inside those cards?!"

"What is this!"

"Somebody help me!"

"Aaaaah!"

"Where am I?!"

"Eeeee!!"

Sho holding one of the captured members of innocent citizens as he continues to talk to them with a cold smile on his face, "Isn't it strange? I'm able to use Magic now, too. Hehehehehe…."

Erza was soon shocked to learn that Sho managed to learn and wield how to use Magic, "Magic?! You…? How…?"

"Myaa!!"

*Vassh*

"Eek!!"

"!!"

Erza was caught by surprise to see her friend Lucy suddenly be entangled by some binding tubes as Lucy got caught, "Wh-what are these things?!!"

"Lucy!"

Erza cried out seeing her friend harmed but looked shocked to see another one of her friends appear, "Millianna?!"

Revealing herself Millianna is a woman of average height with a curvaceous figure. Millianna is also noted for her cat-like appearance: possessing cat-like eyes, nose, and mouth. Her brown hair is stylized into cat ears at her crown and tied into two ponytails at the base. Her face has four red whisker-like tattoos. She wears a yellow jacket with white stripes and black trimmings. Millianna also wears a pink dress with a white bow tie on it light pinkish ruffles on the lower portion, a choker with a bell on it, and white leggings.

*Zluuuluuuluuum*

"Urk!!!"

Millianna casually makes her appearance as the bindings get tighter on Lucy's body as she acts like a cat, "Myaa!! Are you pumped?!"

*Flik*

*Flik*

With one of her bindings flicking Erza looks more shocked seeing what Millianna can mumble out in pure shock, "Millianna you can use magic too?!!"

Millianna casually waves at Erza replying to her happy attitude, "Er-chan! It's been a long time!!"

Erza on the other hand is more focused on Lucy's pain trying to get her to let her go, "What are you doing?! Lucy is a friend of mine!!!"

Millianna on the other hand looked confused by this wording to herself loud to hear, "Myaa? Friend?"

Sho on the other hand comments on this leaving Erza a bit more distraught from his words yelling out at the end, "But we were your friends, weren't we? Big Sis?!! That is until you betrayed us?!!!"

*Veeet*

*Veeet*

*Veeet*

Erza flinches as her mind of trauma and the nightmares plague her current state but then is surprised to see cubes of blocks materializing into a cube human form as it speaks out, "Now don't play tricks on Erza, Sho! The only way to be dandy is to keep your emotions in check! Get it?"

When the person materialized into a person Erza showed confusion before realizing who the voice belonged to, "I—I know that voice… Wally?"

Wally is a man possessing an average height and a regular-toned body. His most distinctive feature is his whole-body form, which consists of geometrical shapes and resembles that of blocks. Wally has black hair, an oddly shaped chin, and has thick lips. He wears a royal blue suit with a white collared shirt and a red necktie. He also wears black, oval-shaped sunglasses, a boater hat, and a white scarf that can be seen hanging loosely around his neck.

"Eee!!!"

Lucy gets surprised as Wally materializes himself looking at Erza commenting on her rather than himself being more well-rounded despite his cube-like body, "Look at you!! Getting all sexy on us!! I don't blame you for not realizing it was me right away. Compared to who I was back when I was known as 'Mad Dog Wally,' I'm far more well-rounded!!!"

Erza looked surprised seeing Wally's appearance before mumbling to herself, "You've got Magic, too…?"

*Pohhh*

*BWOOO*

Suddenly landing down was Silva disguised as 'Simon' as he words out to Erza playing his part replying to her using his Gaea Foundation, "Why are you so surprised? Anybody can do magic once you get the knack! Isn't that right Erza?"

"Simon?!!"

*Whump*

The binding tubes tighten more around Lucy's body feeling more in pain wanting to know what's happening, "Uff!! Erza… who are these people?! Why did he call you, his sister?!!"

Wally was the one to respond as Silva went over to Millianna and Sho from behind as the two ignored 'Simon's' movements, "Because I'm her little brother. And we were once close friends!"

Lucy cried out in shock at the sudden revelations about her friend Erza's past, "Friends?! Erza has been at Fairy Tail ever since she was little right?!"

Erza for her part flinches at those words trying to persuade her friends to let Lucy go and answering Lucy's question, "They're… talking about before that. Why are you guys here? Let Lucy go… please…"

Listening to her request the four ignored it as Wally summons up a gun pointing at Lucy back of her head pinned down, "And if you don't do like –"

*Bang*

Suddenly a gunshot rang as Wally lost his gun and was shot at trying to find the shooter in frustration, "Ack! Damn who the heck –"

*Wisssshh*

Next appeared a cold rush of air before Sho and Millianna could do anything they were both encased in ice instantly with Wally stepping back noticing 'Simon's' magic before going towards Sho and taking his deck of cards.

The deck of cards that 'Simon' took was Magic Cards an item used for Card Magic casually talked to the remaining member left in a mocking tone, "Wally be very careful we have an imposter among us. He could be any one of us in disguise."

Wally realizes what happened gritting his teeth at the obvious imposter among them getting another gun and yelling at the imposter, "What! You're not Simon you imposter!! What – "

*Bang*

Takes out a Magic Shot Gun only to be shot out of his hand noticing his two firearms were taken by an unknown figure stored inside Archer <Requip> Silva loses his disguise and reveals himself with a mock bow, "Oops? Sorry did you expect your good old pal Simon to come in? I deeply apologize for him sleeping on the job."

"Silva!!"

Noticing how outnumbered he was Wally stood his ground taking a careful glance around the area…

*Click*

Before hearing a clicking sound of Archer's revolver behind his head Wally immediately surrendering raising his hands up, "Tch. I know when this guy beat…"

After graciously confiscating (looting) Wally of his Sleep Magic Bullets Silva looked at Erza shocked and assisted in cutting Lucy out of the before playfully replying to her, "Lucy… I didn't take you for the kind of girl to like bondage. Very kinky of you."

Her face blushed before yelling out profanities as he gets her out of a literal bind, "Screw you jerk!! Pervert!! Baka!! Just come and help me already!!!"

Silva merely laughed at her response as he went over to Erza in concern her eyes cast downward at her old friends not noticing him trying to lighten the mood failing.

He mentally sighed to himself helping Erza tap her shoulder to get out of her shocked state back to reality, 'Sigh… this is going to be a very long night ahead of us. I just know will have some important talks when all of this is done and over with.'
