Chapter 18
The two fighters engaged in combat as Ice and Earth clashed. Felix noticed his Claymore breaking from each strike and backed off. What the? Why is my Ice losing, he thought as he examined the cracks on his Claymore.
"What is wrong," Garret questioned as he charged Felix. "You should know that Earth is stronger than Ice," he continued as he slashed at Felix.
Blocking the attack, Felix replied, "You think so?" Raising his Claymore, Felix performed as downward slash.
"Sooner or later, it will break," Garret shouted as he swung his Battle Axe, shattering Felix's Claymore.
The attack sent Felix flying into a wall. Smashing and sliding down, Felix thought, N-no way...how is he so strong...
"Give up ruffian," Garret said as he held his Battle Axe around his shoulders. "I am Garret Spicer, Heir to the Spicer Royal Family, and I take what I want," he announced then began laughing. Seeing Felix stand up, he asked, "Oh? What's this? Ready to admit defeat or are you about to give me a speech about how now you're going to defeat me because you can't let your guild down? How pitiful."
"I'm not that cliché," Felix replied, taking his battle stance. "I'm going to kick your ass to shut you up and nothing else," he shouted as he charged.
Ice God's Spiked Knuckles: Cold Blitz!
"Tch, you ruffians never learn when to quit," Garret responded as he threw his Battle Axe. "I have things to do and a woman to marry so I'll end this now," he shouted as he casted his spell.
Earth God's Gauntlets and Greaves: Tectonic Barrage!
Garret began stomping the ground, sending up pieces of the Earth which he then launched them towards Felix. Breaking a few, Felix shouted, "Gonna need more than that!"
"Gladly," Garret replied as he began speeding up his attack. Felix managed to break a few, but then began blocking. "Overwhelmed yet," Garret asked as he kicked up a much larger piece and sent it to Felix. "Lights out ruffian!"
Ice God's Shield!
Felix formed a giant black Heater Shield and braced for impact. Felix held his ground, but was pushed back a little. Damn...I'm the one getting wiped...Come on man, you've fought a dragon and won! Well not won, but lived...This snob should be a walk in the park, Felix thought as he lowered his shield.
"Persistent aren't you," Garret said as he folded his arms.
"No, I actually like getting beaten up," Felix replied sarcastically.
"Oooohhh, did I sense a bit of sarcasm," Garret asked, irritated. Felix gave him a taunting smirk and he continued, "Well, let's see if you can still talk after this!" Garret charged towards Felix.
Ice God's Rising Mountain!
"What the," Garret asked as he was suddenly propelled into the air.
Ice God's 50 Caliber Sniper Rifle: Rapid Fire!
"Two can play at that game," Garret shouted as he casted his spell.
Earth God's 8.8 cm Flak Cannon!
Garret began ripping through Felix's Ice Bullets as Felix dodged the incoming rounds. Damn, that didn't even work, Felix thought as he continued dodging Flak rounds. Gotta think of something fast or e-, his thoughts were interrupted when a flak round caught him in the leg, sending him tumbling to the ground. Argh...damn that hurt, Felix thought as he grabbed his leg.
"This is the end," Garret shouted as he summoned his Battle Axe and performed a downward slash, the attack landed causing a lot of dust that filled the air.
Split second think, Felix summoned an Ice Clone and managed to dodge the attack. Appearing a behind Garret, who still was waiting for the dust to clear, Felix thought as he started breathing heavily, Man...this sucks...I've given him everything I've got...If there was a way I could power up-wait...there is!
Flashback: Ruins of the City of Yona, X788
14 year old Felix has completed his training to become the "Ice God Slayer" and now stands in front of his master, Duratus. "Felix Malgun," Duratus announced. "I have thought you everything you need to know about how to wield my power," he continued.
"Thank you, Duratus," Felix replied as he bowed. "I promise to use your power for good and to the best of my abilities."
"Now, for your last task," Duratus responded.
"What," Felix asked. "I thought I already completed my training?"
"You have, but this is to show me that you are strong enough to face enemies beyond your capabilities."
"Okay, what is it then?"
"Become 'Ascended'."
"Ascended? I'm sorry master, I don't quite follow?"
"It is a form that every God Slayer can access if they have the will power and mana to do so. Your combat skills are increased two folds and your senses are sharpened. But I warn you, accessing this form without while lacking will power and mana is taxing on the body or even fatal."
"But you believe I can?"
"Yes. Now show me you can join the ranks of the Gods and become Ascended!"
Current Day: Fairy Tail Courtyard, Magnolia X791
I don't remember anything after that, but waking up in my bed, Felix thought. Pretty sure I failed, but hey, at least I lived, he continued as he looked at Tara and Master Makarov who were also waiting for the dust to clear. Someone is counting on me to save them, what kind of man would I be if I let the damsel in distress be taken away, he finished as he began planning his attack.
"I'm confident by when the dust clears, that ruffian's lifeless body will be laying there," Garret said as he looked at Tara.
"You're wrong," Tara replied a bit concerned. "I've seen him fight stronger opponents than you!"
"Clearly, they weren't strong if he managed to beat them," Garret mocked.
Gripping both hands and gritting his teeth, Felix thought, Alright asshole, time to shut you up! Felix let out a battle cry and began powering up.
"What the," Garret shouted in surprise. "How did he get there," he continued as the dust cleared and he turned to see a pile of black ice where Felix should have been. "You sneaky bastard," he shouted as he faced Felix.
Come on come on come on, Felix thought as he continued screaming. I have to beat this guy, not for the guild, not for me, but for Tara, he continued. She's counting on me to free her from her shackles of an unwanted fate and I am going to do just that!
"Time to spread your blood all over the place," Garret shouted as he casted his spell.
Earth God's 8.8 cm Flak Cannon: Obsidian Shells!
"Prepare to die ruffian," Garret shouted as he fired. Felix continued screaming and stood his ground.
"Felix," Tara shouted as the attack landed. Silence fell as Tara whispered, "No..."
"Haahahahah, I told you my love, that ruffian was no match for me," Garret shouted as he turned to Tara. "Now if you don't mind, we have a wedding to attend to," he continued as he began walking towards her.
"Not so fast," Felix spoke.
"Impossible," Garret responded as he turned. "N-no way, th-that can't be," he stuttered at the sight of Felix's appearance. Felix's hair was spiked up, black ice covered his arms, and most of clothes were ripped to shreds, leaving only his bandana, his now sleeveless white t-shirt, and pants. He's become...Ascended...
"Your bachelor party is just getting started," Felix announced as he casted his spell.
God Slayer's Secret Art: Frozen Ivy: Glacial Tombstone!
Punching the ground, Felix sent an ice trail towards Garret. "NO NO NO," Garret shouted as he ran. "Stay away from m-," he was interrupted when the ice caught up, suddenly forming a ice structure the size of a mountain.
"And now the party is over," Felix said as he reverted back to his normal form. Holy crap, that was awesome! I didn't think that it would work! I gotta thank Ultear when I see her for releasing my second origin, Felix thought as he walked towards Tara.
"Thank you Felix," Tara shouted with joy.
"Good work my boy," Master Makarov added.
"Thanks," Felix said as he sat down.
"By the way," Master Makarov asked.
"Hmm," Felix replied.
"What are we going to do about the giant mountain of ice in our courtyard," Master Makarov shouted.
"It'll probably melt later, then we can send Mr. Snob Face over there back home," Felix responded.
"Well, at least you didn't destroy a lot buildings," Master Makarov commented.
"Yeah, you're right," Felix replied. "Anyway," he continued as he stood up. "Come on Tara," he said as he offered her his hand. "I'll escort you to the carriages."
"I'd like that," Tara replied as she grabbed his hand and they began walking.
The boy is smooth as Ice, Master Makarov thought as the two left. Too smooth...
Helping Tara into the carriage Felix said, "Come back anytime, if he ever causes trouble."
"I will and also for our next date," Tara replied.
"When was our first," Felix asked.
"I've had worst ones," Tara answered.
"You counted this?"
"Girl's gotta try," Tara replied as she chuckled. "Thanks again Felix," she said as he closed the door. The carriage began to move and a few seconds later, she poked out of the window and shouted, "Maybe next time we can actually enjoy our time at the café!"
"That sounds nice," Felix shouted back as he waved. Seeing the carriage leave his sight, Felix turned and began making his way back to the guild. Today was okay. Got my ass handed, learned a new form, possibly charmed a girl, but I still love Lucy, I guess this is what my dad would call having 'Options'. The old man is going to get slapped one of these days, Felix thought. Anyway, I wonder who the other's day went, pretty sure they destroyed something and- huh, Felix paused as he saw a tiny cat in a pink outfit. Isn't that Frosch, Felix thought as he examined it. Wonder what h-wait, is Frosch a dude or a girl? Whatever, doesn't matter. Why is Frosch here, Felix thought as he approached Frosch. "Hey Frosch," Felix said as he kneeled down. "Whatcha doing here," he asked.
"I'm lost and trying to find my way home," Frosch answered.
"Oh, well wait right here, I'll go get a map," Felix replied as he got up and headed to the local bookstore. Now where is the Sabertooth guild locate-huh wait, where did Frosch go, Felix thought as he returned. "Well, I hope Frosch found the way home," Felix said as he continued his way to the guild.
Hey guys! Chapter 18 is out! Had some free time so I decided to write it. I hope you enjoy this chapter and I hope you like Felix's new form "Ascended", yeah I know, probably unoriginal, but I couldn't think of a better word to describe it.
