Chapter 81: Tower of Heaven (3)

~Juvia L. POV~

Ah!

Oh Silva-sama please punish this naughty woman for her foolishness!

I'll gladly give up my rear for you to punish as you see – huh?

Shaking my head out of my stupor I realized I missed my beloved is no longer at the beach.

It seems like I missed my opportunity to confess myself to him after he fought against me and placed me inside a hotel for safety.

Ah!

His coldness knows no bounds but that's what I love about him though!

How could he do that to Juvia and leave her alone in the hotel all alone?

But at the same time not making sure Juvia was safe away from the chaos that ensured following former Guild Master Jose's actions.

In all honesty, though it was probably for the best I wasn't affiliated during the time when Jose tried to unleash the Magic Cannon Jupiter directed at the Town of Magnolia because that caused lots of trouble for the previous Phantom Lord members.

Such cases were directed at my former collogues within Element 4 seeing that after disbandment some of the bigger guilds gave them a hard time joining for agreeing with Jose's crazy actions.

Although there was some understanding that Jose was a Wizard Saint, he could've forced them they find other jobs away from Magnolia Town but for me, I'm now an independent Mage again looking for work.

And where else to look than my beloved own guild!

Over the course of time, I tried to muster up the courage to speak up to Silva-sama and then reveal my intentions of joining his guild with hopes of working my way into his heart.

From my own reliable resources for info, I have heard his a good cook thus was one reason why I haven't tried to cook any dishes for him because of fear of jealousy and rejection.

Who would've thought that to win a man's heart is through his stomach but knowing he cooks I practice testing my own culinary arts to surpass and hopefully gain recognition admiring me in the process.

Oh, the thought is too much, and how feisty he could be ~

Hehehe…

No!

Bad Juvia!

I must win his heart first then his love before thinking such naughty thoughts. Regardless I'll be sure to make my move when his alone to introduce myself!

Even though the rumors going around him, and the S-Class Erza are around I was at first shocked and disheartened by the news but the more I learn the more they act like friends than a couple.

Juvia understands this and wanting to make her way I need to beat my love rival for Silva's affections of Erza Scarlet that hussy!

Erza Scarlet may have gotten the first lead to aim for my beloved Silva-sama heart, but I'll be the one to win the war of love!

Yes, Juvia will most certainly try her best!

~Silva K. POV~

Have to admit it was fun meeting up with Erza and hanging out before departing to get some rest for later activities at nighttime.

Passing the time, I took my chances taking a tour around the area as I took out a skill book I had ever since I never had enough INT to unlock it till now.

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

Pressing yes, another pop-up screen opens up causing me to grin gaining this skill would be interesting to have on hand.

[Skill: <Dispel> is learned!]

Skill List.

----

<Dispel> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 0.0%

MP Cost: Varies

Description: Dispel is a Caster Magic and variation of Nullification Magic that causes the annulment of a spell. This Magic allows its users to remove any spell from their afflicted target.

----

Getting <Dispel> would certainly come in handy especially a surprise against Jellal that's for sure.

Walking my way around I noticed Lucy walking along with Erza as I waved at them, "Yo! Love the dress you have on Erza looking beautiful without your armor for a change."

Lucy hid behind Erza as she took the compliment chuckling lightly in a playful manner, "Why thank you for the compliment, Silva. Did you perhaps want to come along with us at the casino?"

Thinking about it I nodded along agreeing as I was tailing the two with Lucy trying to be cheerful as I looked at their stats individually now that I gained enough high level of my <Observe> skill to finally see.

Damn…

So that's how strong they are individually…

But why the heck is Erza's race Human/Dragon?

Does it have to relate her circumstance with her brith by chance. I mean she was born by Irene with a dragon like body with her trying to halt the process but the thing is even if she did the DNA is still there.

So maybe that's why her race has the Dragon name to it because of her circumstance of her birth. But hell, their LUCK is high with Lucy being higher than Erza's by 50 stats extra even.

Although it does make sense.

After all, Lucy did survive the end of the world being populated with man-eating dragons and traveled back in time to prevent it.

Shaking my head helplessly at this it was merely a matter of time before I would gain the strength necessary to fight them.

For now, though I left my Archer to stalk me while keeping himself hidden using Shroud of Shadows to keep himself invisible at the ready to interfere when need be.

Just need to take out someone and assume a stolen identity soon enough.

But for now, time to enjoy playing some games of gambling. How hard could it be?

~Third POV~

Silva separated from Lucy and Erza took his time playing some slots within Natsu and Gray's area away from the two inserting another coin much to his frustration, "Come on… come on… I already lost 10,000J from this how the heck does winning slot – damn it…!!"

Realizing that his only losing Jewels stops wondering to himself if his cursed like a certain ninja gambling addictions curse mumbling silently, "Have I been cursed by the fable bad luck that is Tsunade gambling…? Next time I'm increasing my LUCK stats."

Before he could try and gamble more, he heard a voice surprising him slightly as he turned around to see Juvia in a nice dress looking bashfully at him, "Silva-sama? Juvia decided to come, too."

Blinking and blushing seeing another beauty appear before him Silva replied in a curious tone to her, "Oh? Where have I seen – ah! Right, you were part of the Phantom Lord Juvia right? So… you said you wanted to come here?"

She shook her head as he got up leading to a small bar area she replied to Silva in a cutely embarrassed manner, "Not exactly no. I came here to see you but also to inform you of joining the Fairy Tail Guild."

Listening to that Silva acted surprised but also recalled Phantom Lord disbanded over the news a few days back, "Right. I heard Phantom Lord had to disband huh? Guess that means you're a free Wizard and interested in joining Fairy Tail?"

Juvia nodded eyes gleaming with stars of such a promising idea of joining her ideal lover's job voicing out in agreement, "Juvia wants to join!"

Pausing at that when Silva was about to answer he paused taking a small sip of water to the man behind them, "Ah… don't you think it's rude ominously standing behind us, mister? And also –"

*Toom*

*Whiisss*

*BAM*

Using his <Ice Make> to create an ice shield to defend against the man's attack against Juvia alerting the people with Silva finishing his drink and getting his attention, "—haven't your parents taught you manners not to slap a woman? Tsk, tsk, tsk sir."

Turning around using <Requip> to get his Spectator at the ready he saw Simon in the flesh with his eyes narrowed at the tall, massive man.

Simon is a very massive, tall, and muscular young man, with his overly large arms and hands appearing even larger compared to his extremely thin legs but is more well-proportioned. His mildly long dark hair possessed two prominent bangs curving outwards on the front, framing and partially covering the upper part of his face.

Simon's left eye was covered in a simple, dark eyepatch, held up by an extremely slim rope, with a thin scar emerging from under it and going down diagonally on his cheek. His massive jaw was obscured by an armored metal plate, bearing lines of studs on its upper edges and two side protrusions jutting upwards, plus a set of teeth-like ornaments, overall resembling a skeletal jaw.

Seeing that his attack was blocked Simon immediately noticed the presence of one of his intended targets replying coldly, "You must be Silva Knights. You are one of our intended targets but first… Tell me where Erza is?"

*WOOSH*

Suddenly the temperature began to drop as people began to flee except for Gray noticing the temperature dropping and looking at Silva confronting Simon in a cold tone, "I see… tell your boss Jellal that he can go fuck himself. I ain't no snitch nor bitch to hand over my friend as easily as you think…"

*BOOM*

Simon's shock was evident in his eye before glaring down at Silva releasing his Magic Power as did Silva in return clashing against each other.

Gray was about to enter but stopped seeing a message encased with ice written mentally reading it in his head, 'Erza is getting attacked. Go assist her and Lucy in the card gambling room immediately I'll stall the big guy. Got it, Silva.'

Gray reading the message left with the crowd to search for Erza trusting his friend to take care of Simon.

/////

*Dwaaaaaaaaan*

"Ohhhhhh!!!!"

Flipping a stack of cards revealing to be a royal flush the crowd within the audience were surprised by her amazing luck that Lucy next to her commented, "You're incredible, Erza?!!"

Erza closing her eyes as she easily flipped the cards merely shrugs but a smug expression on her face speaks for herself, "Heh heh… Luck is with me tonight."

*Gwip*

Suddenly a person is a young man with blond hair, arranged in a wavy style with fringes hanging above his forehead, and tanned skin. He has somewhat dark beady eyes and a small 5-shaped tattoo can be located below his lower lip. He also had an earring with diamond ornaments attached to his left ear and wore a waistcoat with yellow buttons.

The person moved the old dealer aside as he took charge immediately, "New dealer."

"Huh…? Wait a minute…"

The old dealer couldn't do much as he allowed the new dealer to be in control listening over to Erza's words with her eyes closed, "I'm afraid there is no dealer who can change my luck now."

Lucy encourages her friend with her fist raised up in agreement, "Darn straight!"

*Flipipipipipip*

Shuffling the cards of the deck the new dealer began to talk to Erza as he tosses the cards to her in a gruff tone, "If so, then shall we play a special game? And we won't simply be betting for a few coins…"

*Shfff*

Tossing the cards down on the table Erza opens her eyes to read the words 'DEATH' on each card having a letter her gaze finally lands on the dealer as he finally finishes his sentence, "Let's gamble… a life. Big sister Erza!"

Erza gets shaken easily seeing one of her old slave friends during her time building the Tower of Heaven mumbling in a shocked tone, "Sho…"

Now identified as Sho tilted his head expressing a wicked grin to her greeting her back, "Long time, no see… big sis."

Lucy looking between the two looked rather confused by the situation mumbling out, "Huh? Huh?"

Erza for her part trembles but finds some strength to ask Sho some greetings, "So you… are all right…"

Sho for his expression darkens at Erza mumbling to her, "Okay…?"

Erza sweats a bit as she tries to backstep what she says trying to find the right words, "Ah… no, I mean…"

*WOOOOSH*

Suddenly darkness blankets the whole area of the casino…
