Chapter 19: Red Flag

~Silva POV~

"<Flying Form>!"

*WOOSH*

*BOOM*

*THUD*

Swinging my Rune Sword in a downward motion causing an arc slash attack going downward as I managed to kill off another group of wolves coming after me as I pant feeling tired using the skill.

"Huff…"

Feeling my heartbeat rise I also see notifications of the skills I got leveling up in the process as I couldn't help but grin in the process.

[You gain 10 EXP]

[<Sword Mastery> LEVEL UP!]

[<Flying Form> LEVEL UP!]

[<Mana Manipulation> LEVEL UP!]

[<Style of the Undrawn Long Sword> LEVEL UP!]

[Ding!]

[For killing off multiple wolves you earned the title [Wolf Slayer]!]

Oh, the sweet, sweet sounds of level-ups are music to my ears. But the sudden appearance and gaining a new title was a surprise.

I didn't hesitate to even check this new title out as I began to read the details of it seeing it would be a pretty simple case by its name alone.

Clicking on it I got to see the full description in detail of what it contains, and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.

[Title: Wolf Slayer

Description: True Slayer of Wolves!

With this title given to those who are proficient in hunting wolves. Your stats will increase by 40% when facing off against Beast-Type Monsters.]

…

Bruh.

This skill is so busted on Elfman or Take Over Magic casters because once they change into their beast-type selves my skill will try and slay them through me.

But if this wasn't enough other than the new level up, I got from the pack I looked carefully at my Requip screen and viewed other items I got from the pack of wolves.

Still, the same old stuff they drop.

Seeing I have my peace I decided for the time being and change titles with the new one I got the [Wolf Slayer] I began to check on my status as I quickly made a small move ahead gazing at each step ahead with caution.

Status.

Good progression but the exhaustion is coming to me again.

Taking a quick breather, I decided to lean against the nearby walls catching my breath and walking around in this place to conserve my stamina. I know I can't get tired because of my skills but food is becoming a problem.

It hasn't been more than 2 days coming here as the enemies I face… are less than I was expecting to be honest. I can't find any more foes to slay.

Even kept up with my exercise thus far having +6 stats at the ready if trouble was ever near me I would gain the extra boost or use my Status recovery at the ready but no.

Breathing in and out I began to get up and investigate the area more this time. Better find any more enemies in this forest soon otherwise I feel like I would rather ditch this place since the only thing I wasted is time.

Like that, I began to go on ahead and hurry along.

/////

Passing a few hours, I finally turned around a few corners till I finally had it with finding any animals or Magical Beast to hunt down sadly though I couldn't find any seeing they probably sensed me with from the blood or detect I'm a threat with their animal senses.

Sigh…

Guess I'll call it quits for now. I can't seem to find any more wolves or any other Magical Beast for me to fight on equal levels with them.

I met a few but the second I saw that they were over my current level can handle I would run or avoid them like the plague. And I think they have been eating on the wolves, corpses attracting to their blood…

I think I should call this a day and return back home soon enough. Best to go back home.

There's no point in hunting here anymore if I can't find any prey for me to hunt down for EXP around here. I'll come back when I'm stronger and higher level to kill off those wandering Magical Beasts.

Using Mastema my <Riding> skill goes up I began to fly up in the air and began going back seeing the bright night sky appearing as I flew up in the air and fly back to Magnolia Town enjoying the night sky.

*Wooosh*

Smiling at this there's possibly no way my day could get worst. I grinded enough to feel confident enough to take on some Guild Request and get stronger with each job I'm gonna take on.

Oh right!

Blinking surprised I almost forgot to pick my reward from the previous quest since I was busy training, I almost forgot about it. Whoops.

[Ding!]

[You picked Reward Blessed Box!]

Seeing the small box appearing in my hand I began to open it up. The usual light particles appeared as soon enough as what appeared in my hand instead of a box it took the form of a hand-sized pendant with an odd emblem on it.

<Observe>.

----

Item: Dimensional Formation – Shambhala

Rarity Item: S

Type: Pendant

Description: Shambhala is a Teigu capable of spatial manipulation. Its user is granted the ability to manipulate space, allowing them to teleport people and objects over large distances. When activated, it created an array, and everyone standing on it would be teleported. But it does require a cooldown period of time to be useable again.

-Trump Card: Lost Realm – this trump card can allow the user to escape into its private dimension to trap, store, or escape but the artifact won't be of use after a few days when activated.

-Cooldown: Varies

Raising an eyebrow at this I could place markers now with this item. That in itself could be handy to have and makes traveling incredibly easy for me to do.

Like my personal fast travel but for real life. Now that's a convenient traveling service and new storage to use for my items.

And I know I'm tempting fate here but… seriously who could possibly ruin my mood flying in the air. Not like I'm gonna meet a future character this early in the game best to enjoy the trouble-free issues while I can.

What can go wrong?

/////

~Mavis POV~

Why?

Why was it glowing?

Looking at my original body where it's encased by a Revival Lacrima I can see it shine slightly if anything shows to go by.

Arriving back to the old guild I saw how things were progressing as I couldn't help but smile that even after over 100 of years the Guild Precht, Warrod, and Yuri created still stood tall.

I'm glad to see everything is normal but I still can't place why the Fairy Heart is reacting this way even if I'm here as a mere thought projection. And yet…

I don't know how to place it, but it feels as if…

It's calling to something. No, rather it seems like it's resonating with something and it seems like using my Magic Sensory it was close by.

I don't mean to toot my own horn I'm the best Magic Sensor there is with my years and Magic Power to show floating up and phasing through the Guild building I managed to pick up a power…

Close to it?

What?

Blinking in confusion as I flew up in the air, I began to see a fellow with a magic aura around him signaling a kind of enhancing Spell at play lifting himself up with those artifacts acting as pure white wings from behind as I couldn't help but sense something within him.

What is that?

I tried to sense the magic of the figure in front of me and used my Illusion Magic to keep myself hidden but the person male judging from his figure alone what I felt was unreal… an impossibility.

The magic I felt from the person is that he felt empty with no Magic Origin within trying to sense it but that was when I noticed how for lack of a better term… vast? Empty?

More?

Abyssal…?

No…

Infinite…

Right, what I feel from the man or boy in front of me feels as if his magic is the manifestation of all things fire, water, earth, wind, light, darkness, good, evil, life, and death working together in perfect harmony.

And yet it isn't at the same time?

A living contradiction?

I wouldn't believe it if he wasn't standing in front of me the whole time as I couldn't help but perceive such an idea or notion of it in front of me.

Wait…

Is the guy looking at me?

Nah that can't be the case it's impossible.

Turning around trying to see where the young man is looking, I turned and saw nothing getting confused about where his attention might be.

But before I could think anymore, I froze on the spot viewing the person looking at me with his piercing eyes with a bemused expression on his face, "You know it's rude to simply stare at me? And yes, I did hear you."

What…

Wait but how can he see me?!

I'm not making my Thought Projection visible and stacked with my Illusion Magic?!!

Oh, wait I'm still saying this out loud?

To that the figure took his leave as he sheepishly grinned slowly flying away from me, "Yeah… I'll leave you alone loli ghost. So…. I'll take my leave. Yeah… bye?"

*Wooosh*

Did…

Did I just got ignored?

And why the heck did he call me a loli?

13 years old is a perfectly respectful age of becoming an adult!

How dare he!

No wait for that matter how the heck did he see me is what matters?

I didn't detect any magic being used and even with Illusion Magic stacked no one should've been able to see me and yet here he was…

I'm a go follow him.

I have to know how he can see me with no issues and what the purpose of the Fairy Heart reacting to him nay resonating with him is I don't understand. What power or Magic could have such a reaction?

I need to know, and that guy had the Fairy Tail emblem on his hand. So, his part of the guild then at the very least I should investigate the kid because the more I sense his body the more I can feel him compared to… him.

The God of Life and Death…

Ankhseram but… stronger.

Much, much stronger.

Especially more potent than that God once I managed to fully sense him.

It's like… no, never mind.

Maybe I'm overthinking too much to say that what I sensed was the power of a God within his body. Probably a God Slayer Magic perhaps that can be the case?

Regardless though it seems like I found an interesting topic or person that I can actually talk to get my interest after my hell at living.

At the very least it will be entertaining to watch my Fairy grow up seeing how he becomes in the future. That and be my new source of entertainment in my long years of isolation and become new besties!
