"You're the last one left. Give me the books to God's Library." Natsu demanded. The dragon slayer would take another step towards her, which would cause the floorboards to creak and crack, a sign of intimidation that would force her to move a step back in response.
Her hands were shaking, and her body was shivering. Fear had taken over her. This man was not like the rest of the Void Kingdom wizards that came before him. No, he was a Dragon Slayer, a type of magic that was incredibly dangerous and destructive. And now, she was the only one in the room, the last librarian in the entire area that was standing, and she was faced with the challenge of defending the books and the people that entrusted them to her.
"N-No way!" Lucy refused, her hand already on one of her keys.
Natsu's gaze did not waver, and his expression remained unchanged. The fire wizard's intense gaze pierced into the depths of her soul, making her feel like the world was collapsing around her.
"Alright then. You feel and look pretty weak, so I wasn't really gonna fight you. But looks like I will." Natsu smashed his fists together, sparks of fire emanating around them. He still had power to spare despite having a battle with Asher earlier. This meant the Fire wizard had the advantage. Despite the cuts on his arms and legs, the dragon slayer seemed unfazed.
"Don't thnk I'm weak! I trained hard with Gray to prepare for someone like you. And right now, even if I'm the last one left, I won't give up the books to you and the rest of the Void Kindom." Lucy didn't see herself as weak. Not in the slightest.
"So, you think you're tough enough to take me on, huh? Okay, I'm intersted." Natsu grinned, a small spark of flame igniting from the corners of his lips. "Let's see how far your will can go. Maybe I can convince you to join my side, or maybe, you'll die by the end of it."
"I won't." Lucy was confident in her answer. She knew that her resolve wouldn't break, no matter how badly the outcome could end. Even if it meant that her life could end. Lucy had to stop him. She couldn't allow the books to be stolen.
"Well then...I'll take you down like the rest! Fire Dragon...!" He would pull his head back, taking in a deep breath as flames would form in the inner part of his mouth. He would aim it straight at the Celestial Spirit wizard. "...Roar!" A torrent of fiery inferno would shoot out, aiming to engulf and incinerate everything in its path, including the blonde wizard.
However, right before Natsu held his breath in, Lucy was wise to move out of the way. She was fast on her feet, but her speed and reflexes weren't good enough to dodge the oncoming flames completely, the fires would singe the ends of her clothes, the bottom of her dress would rip and burn, and the skin of her leg would be slightly burned, forcing her to flinch in pain. But that was nothing compared to what could have happened to her. She had avoided a deadly attack, and now she had a momentary window of opportunity to strike back.
Lucy grabbed a golden key, ready to summon a spirit. "Here goes! Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" With the calling of her spirit's name, a burst of magical energy was emitted in a circle. From this, Virgo appeared.
The maiden bowed to her owner. She had a thin and slim figure. She wore a black and white maid costume, consisting of a white shirt with black sleeves, and a black, frilled skirt. She had pink hair that was in bangs, covering her forehead. She also had two strings that tied two parts of her hair, one on the left and on on the right. Her arms were wrapped in opposite colored sleeves, her legs were covered in dark stockings, and on her feet were heels.
She was one of the newer spirits that Lucy had acquired recently.
"Good evening, Princess." She spoke to Lucy with respect.
"Help out, Virgo! This is your first time really fighting side-by-side with me, so please help us out!" Lucy would tell the Maiden Spirit.
"Gladly." Virgo faced forward and looked at her enemy. Immediately, Virgo leap into the air before rapidly descending and swinging her foot to deliver a kick. Natsu blocked the kick by raising his forearms to intercept the blow, but the impact of the attack knocked him backward, causing him to stumble.
"Ugh...You have some strength, don't you, girly?" Natsu snarled, his teeth grinding against one another. He was surprised at her sudden increase of strength.
It was not the same kind of strength that he had encountered from the previous battles, but instead a different kind that was unique to the spirit's own abilities and powers. "But that doesn't matter." The Fire Wizard would suddenly vanish and then appear behind her in an instant. He swung a powerful punch, knocking her into the air. "I can still take ya!"
"Virgo!"
"Yes. Diver!" Suddenly, Virgo would recover by performig a backflip. Instantly, she would then dig underground. The earth below her would begin to shift and crack as a result. As a result of her digging underground, a large hole formed in the floor. Soon, the entire ground would collapse and form a pitfall. This caused a massive amount of debris to fall down on the two wizards.
"Wha!?" Natsu would attempt to jump back to a safe position, but in that split second, he was struck in the gut by Virgo's elbow, who emerged from the pitfall and had gotten the drop on the dragon slayer.
"Guh!" He would stagger and grunt in pain. His chest felt a stinging pain in it as a result of the hit, a red bruise would appear. The Maiden's strike was enough to send the dragon slayer flying a few meters. Natsu's feet dragged across the floor and a loud scraping sound was heard, but the Dragon Slayer managed to catch himself before hitting the wall, using his hand to stop himself. However, in that split second, he had to act fast to defend himself. Virgo would emerge from the hole in the ceiling, her fist clenched tightly and her eyes locked onto him.
"Fire Dragon's Talon!" Using his fire magic, the nails on his toes would grow out and become sharp. At the same time, his toes would be cloaked in fire, turning into claws that would allow him to slash and slice through his target.
He would spin, the momentum creating a vortex of flames around him, and would then extend his right foot to slash the incoming Virgo. However, she was able to dodge his flaming kick with ease. Her speed and agility were beyond that of the average person. But the fight was not yet over. Virgo had to land the finishing blow. She was in close quarters with her opponent, and her attacks were swift.
It would not be easy for the Fire Wizard to counterattack. But, he had the experience to react fast. "Man! You're pretty good up close!" Natsu grinned, impressed by Virgo's close combat skills as he kept clashing with her up close.
"Naturally. I come with expert hand-to-hand combat skills, along with the ability to burrow underground." Virgo said in a monotone manner. Her fists were still in a tight clench, her movements were precise, her strikes were swift and her counters were fast.
She would soon grab the fire wizard's arm, spinning around his body to throw him in a certain direction. She had thrown him to a bookshelf, where a number of books were lined on. Natsu's body would impact the wooden bookshelf, and it would immediately topple to its side. Many books would fly to the ground, scattered on the library's ground.
"Fire Dragon's Whirlwind!" Natsu would recover by breakdancing on the floor. While doing so, his feet would unleash whips of flame, aiming to scorch Virgo, which in turn, would destroy a majority of the books. The Maiden was whipped by the flames, from the front to the point where she would spin due to the force emitted. Not only that, but even on her back once she was turned around, the whiplashes of fire impacting her skin and destroying more of the books. They had been set ablaze, their pages reduced to ashes.
Natsu was not done, though, as the dancing flames would also destroy more of the bookshelves, burning the wood and the books themselves. Virgo managed to backflip, avodiing some of the lashes before sliding away.
"Wait a second! Where's the blondie?!" Natsu would jump up, returning to a regular standing position, soon realizing that Lucy was absent from his sight.
But this whole time, Virgo's battle with Natsu allowed Lucy to think smart. And think smart she did. Since this was a place of Lost Magic, Lucy would instantly try and use that to her advantage, knowing that Natsu was far stronger than her, and that a straight-up fight wouldn't end in her victory. Not at her current level.
There were numerous books, scrolls and items that contained lost magic, the only thing needed to be done was to decipher it. One scroll would stand out, and the Celestial Mage would take a glance, her eyes widened in excitement. She realized that this would be the best chance of stopping him. And that was her only option. It was a desperate attempt, but it was the best shot she had.
"I got it...I'll just need to translate it. Luckily, she had the item to do so. The Gale-Force Reading Glasses. With them on her face, she would begin reading the Lost Magic at increased speeds. To the untrained eye, this was complete gibberish. Even with the glasses, there was difficulty in deciphering it. But luckily, some were easier to understand to a degree.
"This magic need me to have anything special within me. I just need to make contact." Lucy understood. It was a magic based on touch. That was the requirement in order to use it.
The Lost Magic she had was called Sanctuary, and it was an extremely rare and difficult to use.
Only the most skilled and powerful wizards can learn its secrets, which made it a prized commodity among those in the field. Its effects were very potent, being capable of transforming the entire area around her.
In a way, the user was in a form of a trance-like state, allowing them to tap into its full potential. Once the transformation is completed, the environment becomes a sacred and holy place, where no harm can come to any living creature.
In order to fully activate its powers, one had to have an open heart. Their hearts must not be clouded by negativity or hatred. Instead, they should have a peaceful mind and a clear conscience, allowing them to focus solely on their goal of protecting the innocent and the weak.
For Lucy, this was a powerful Lost Magic indeed, but the lower levels of the magic would be able to pull off. "There's only one level of this that I can even attempt with my magic. But it's better than nothing!"
With the magic power she currently had within her, her current level and experience would only be enough to use the lowest level, but it was better than nothing. "Here goes! Virgo!" She called out to the maiden, who was still clashing with Natsu.
"Right! Spica Lock!" The Spirit would suddenly wrap her legs around the dragon slayer, holding him down. However, despite the fact that he was pinned and his arms were held down by her, the Fire wizard would laugh.
"Hahahaha! What is this? Are you trying to seduce me or somethin?" He asked in amusement. Even though he was in the midst of battle, Natsu found it amusing and interesting to be in the situation of a woman wrapping her legs around him in a rather erotic fashion, the positioning was awkward.
"Hardly." Virgo said, keeping her legs in a tight hold around him, not letting him get free. Her strength would increase, to the point her thighs were squeezing the air out of his lungs, his breathing became ragged. This would cause Natsu's body to tense up in response, and his eyes to widen in surprise at the sudden pressure. However, it wouldn't be enough to make his face contort, but instead, he would smirk in a defiant fashion, confident in the strength of his own body.
"Your little squeeze is a nice trick, but that ain't enough to take me down!" He was cocky and sure in his words, his voice was strong and unwavering, and he would continue to push back, attempting to overpower Virgo's leg lock.
Though, he was struggling, his grunting was heard and his muscles were flexing as the spirit used all of her strength to keep him from escaping, his body would struggle to find the balance to break the grip, and the strain was starting to show in his facial features. He had to escape and counter-attack.
Lucy's eyes would narrow and she would raise her right hand, the palm would be pointed at the Fire Wizard. This would cause his gaze to widen in surprise, noticing that something was amiss. He was aware of the presence of a dangerous spell, but he had no time to react to the danger that was about to be unleashed.
"Here I go!" Lucy's eyes flashed a brilliant shade of gold and the markings of a strange seal would glow on her forehead. A golden wave would then erupt from her hand and engulf her target. Soon, a magical symbol would manifest in the middle of her forehead, signifying the start of the transformation process.
"GH?!" Natsu was in shock and confusion, unsure of what had just happened. His eyes would widen, and a wave of warmth would wash over him. He would try to move, but the immense pain in his body made that impossible. His arms would feel heavy, and his legs were numb. As the light faded away, his vision would return. He would realize that he was in the middle of a small landscape. He would look around in disbelief. It was a new world.
The Library was no longer there, and instead, a serene field would surround him. Flowers were in bloom, grass was soft and green, and the sun was shining down on him. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the trees were tall. He was in a sanctuary of sorts. A safe haven of nature and tranquility, the sounds of the wind were soothing to the ears. It felt like a paradise of some kind.
"Ugh...what is this..." He had no idea what had just happened, and was confused on how his surroundings had changed in an instant. Everything had been turned into a beautiful scenery of nature. In that moment, Virgo had released the fire wizard from her grasp, but the spell's effects were still present. Lucy was exhausted, panting in fatigue.
"I can barely use a magic like this...but it'll have to do!" Lucy groaned. It took a toll on her body to cast a magic like that. She was drained of energy, and her eyes were half-open. "Virgo! Do you still have enough time to stay here?"
"I only have at least 15 seconds remaining." The Maiden responded.
"Then make those 15 Seconds count! Hit him as hard as you can!"
"As you wish, Princess."
With a swift and agile movement, the Celestial Spirit leaped towards the Dragon Slayer. Her fists clenched tightly, and she was ready to strike at any given moment. "Let us begin. Spica Hole." The Maiden would punch at the ground, causing the earth to split, and the fissures to expand, creating a wide hole in the ground that would drag her foe into. A cloud of dust and rocks would fly and hit the Dragon Slayer, sending him plummeting. His screams would echo as he fell into the void, and his cries of anger could be heard.
"G-GAAAAAH-"
The dust would clear, and the damage that was done would leave him dazed and confused, unable to see his opponent. "Ughhhhhhhh...damn..." Natsu's head would spin and he would blink his eyes several times, his ears were ringing. "Damn...that was some blow." He shook his head, and stood back up, regaining his footing.
Meanwhile, the Maiden had vanished in a flash of golden sparkles, her duty being finished and her time being up, the last of her magical energies had been expended on her final attack. "Looks like Virgo is gone, huh." Lucy sighed in relief, glad that her spirit had served its purpose well. She would have to thank the maid for her service, as the spirit had bought her the victory. "Now all I gotta do is finish things up!"
However, the sound of Natsu clawing his way back up could be heard, his hands were gripping the dirt, and his legs were shaking. He had suffered a great deal of damage. "You...ain't taking me down that easily!"
Hearing him arriving, Lucy quicly ran to gain some distance. This wasnt enough to stop Natsu. She needed more. And thankfully, there were other items in here. If one item was able to teach her a spell, then perhaps another could do so too. Quickly, she would pick up a different item, one that wouldn't need any reading. Only usage.
It was an item known as a Hollow Locket. It was a mysterious locket, that was capable of summoning a large monster. The catch was that it had to be in close contact to a wizard in order to work, which wouldn't be a problem to Lucy, considering that it could give her the upper hand against Natsu.
"You ain't getting away!" The Dragon slayer's eyes would flare and the markings would re-appear. Suddenly, the area around him would change, the grass beneath him would die and the ground would shake and crack. Lucy would nearly lose her balance and stumble to the floor.
"Eeee!" Lucy screeched, promptly activaing the locket while she had the chance, the item's magic would immediately be activated. With the flick of her thumb, the locket's cap would flip open, and a black, shadowy substance would burst from the inside. This black, shadowy entity would twist and twirl, forming the shape of a massive wolf-like beast. It had red, piercing eyes and sharp fangs.
"Augh! That is ugly..." Natsu commented, not intimidated, but surprised at the grotesque appearance. However, he wouldn't be fazed by its appearance, nor would the creature itself, as it charged forward, ready to devour the enemy. However, he would respond with a blast of flame. "Fire Dragon's Roar!" His flames would explode, surrounding the beast in a vortex of flames. He was not going to let himself fall behind in the fight. But the Beast was far tougher than the Dragon Slayer realized.
The wolf growled, sliding back after being engulfed by these ferocious flames, its fur was singed and burnt. Its red, glowing eyes were fixed on the wizard and his fire. With its mouth wide open, a large amount of shadows would come out. They were the same type of shadows that emerged when it first appeared, only in a much greater amount, the dark smoke would surround the beast. This caused the fire that surrounded it to disappear, and the beast to vanish, the shadowy substance had absorbed the flames, and had concealed the beast, allowing it to slip through the fiery blast.
"Wh-" Natsu was cut off. The shadowy smoke was still present, but the wolf had already lunged, its speed and reflexes were faster than expected. Lucy's strategy to use this creature was a stroke of genius, and was paying off. Natsu had his guard down, and didn't expect the sudden disappearance and appearance. His eyes would widen and his jaw would drop in shock. The beast's teeth had already pierced his flesh, his blood would squirt out, his arm was bitten, and the canines dug deeper and deeper.
"GAAAAAAH- GET OFF!" In his rage, Natsu unleashed an outburst of flames from his body, obliterating the creature. The beast was vanishing in the form of a purple smoke, defeated and unable to battle further. "Gh...Damn it! I'm wasting so much magic here..."
Due to how much fighting he's done recently, especially with how hard he had to fight, Natsu was gradually running low on magic. He wouldn't be able to fight as fiercely as he wanted. On the other hand, Lucy wasn't having the best of luck either. Using Lost Magic was all that she could do, her magic being much lower than Natsu's.
"Tch...this ain't over." Natsu grith his teeth, spotting Lucy trying to find another Lost Magic she could use. "I'm not losing this!" In his rage, Natsu leapt off the ground at full force, clenching his hands and igniting them in flames. Lucy had just grabbed an item that looked like some sort of cube. She gasped, swiftly turning her head to spot the approaching Dragon Slayer.
Panicking she set off the Lost Magic as a bright flash emerged the second Natsu's fist made contact with it. Soon, the two of them were enveloped in this bright flash.
Once the flash had ended, Natsu's eyes would slowly open. "Ngh..." Whatever that magic was, it didn't set off properly, only letting out a bright flash afterwards. Natsu's attack stopped it in time, meaning that he did reach Lucy. However, when trying to recollect himself, Natus felt something in his hands.
Something rather soft...
"Kyaaa!" Lucy's shrieks were heard. Her eyes were closed, her body tensed, her breasts would feel warm. Confused, her eyes opened, and her gaze would travel down to the sight below. Natus had grabbed her breasts.
"Ah-?" The Dragon slayer had a look of dumbfoundedness on his face. His fingers were buried deep into the soft mounds of her chest. His fingers were sinking into the soft flesh. He didn't know what to do. His brain would short-circuit, not expecting such an outcome. His cheeks flushed pink, his lips were sealed in an embarrassed manner.
"Nnn..." Lucy grumbled and moaned as Natsu's hands and fingers were incidentally moving about her chest. His digits would sink further and press in, squeezing and groping her.
"Hmm...Big and soft...just like Erza's..." Natsu was rather captivated. Lucy's seemed to be the same size and volume of Erza's bust, they did share the similar trait. The two women were extremely buxom.
It would feel weird for him to continue. Lucy was fuming and was furious. "GET OFF OF ME, PERVERT!"
SLAP! The mage would smack Natsu across the cheek. The impact would sting and his face would throb in pain, the force of her slap was strong enough to send him flying. "GWAH-" His back slammed on the floor, his body ached and his mind was in a daze.
"Urrgh..." His eyes would slowly open, and the world would fade to black, as the magic was finally dispelled, leaving the battlefield a ruined library.
"The books!" Lucy promptly turned ot view what was left of the books. Thanks to this intense battle, a majority of the books were ruined by the flames and other forces. Very few remained, but still quite a sizable amount.
"L-Lucy..." Suddenly, someone spoke. It was one of the librarians that was down for the count. Using whatever strength he had, he was able to speak to Lucy, struggling to stay conscious. "T-Take that book...Please."
He pointed to one book and only one book in particular. "What's that?" Lucy questioned. But there was no time to question it. However, it was clear that whatever that book was, the librarian knew that it was the most crucial out of all of them to grab. That book alone apparently made it somewhat worth leaving behind the others.
he nodded, quickly snatching that and every other book that could be grabbed. With her arms and hands, she held as much books as she coud. Lucy did what she could, but she could not keep this up. It was best for her to leave at once.
Natsu wasn't about to give up though. He wanted to get a good hit in at once. The Dragon Slayer would get back up, his mouth smoking with flames as he prepared a massive attack with everything he had.
"I'm not letting you get away...I'll finish it with this!" He declared, pulling his head back and holding his breath in for the biggest Fire Dragon Roar he can muster. "FIRE DRAGON...! ROOOOAAAAARRR!" Flames shot from his jaws, heading straight for Lucy and the Librarians. She screamed in terror as she was caught within the blaze, her vision blocked by the orange-red glow of the flames.
The heat was overwhelming, the scent of smoke was in the air, the sounds of crackling embers could be heard in the background. She had no idea what to do, she couldn't think of a solution, she couldn't think of a counter. Her panic-stricken face was met with the burning intensity of the flames, the intense brightness of the flames were too much.
All she could do was jump outside and hope for the best. With all of her might, Lucy would leap towards the destroyed walls and windows. By the skin of her teeth, she managed to avoid the flames as they destroyed that section of the God's Library, its shelves, and the books that were in the path. A number of shelves were knocked down and a few of the surviving books were damaged. Those that weren't were soon incinerated, turned into ash.
Natsu would breathe in, coughing a bit. The exhaustion was catching up. After the battle that occurred in the library, and the intense battle that came after it, his energy levels were depleted, his magic reserves were diminished, and he was starting to run on empty. His stamina was wearing thin and his body would ache.
"Damn...I mesed up a bunch of those books." He chuckled, getting on one knee while lowering his head. "Is that good enough for you...Alehot?" He wondered how Alehot would think of this? Would he be proud or upset, punishing Natsu afterwards. "Lucy was it? Not bad..." And right before he passed out, he thought about Lucy.
Despite not taking him up close and personal, the wits on Lucy impressed Natsu. He was not expecting such a clever opponent, using the items that were at her disposal in creative and unexpected ways. It was an entertaining bout, and a memorable encounter. So far, Fairy Tail as a whole ahs not dissappointed Natsu as his eyes closed, causing him to pass out from exhaustion.
Lucy had fallen into the waters of the Clamorous Coast after jumping out of the building, passing out as well from the shockwaves of the attack. THe books she held would leave her grasp, her grip not being strong enough to keep the mall. Minus the one book that was apparently more important than the rest. Her hands gripped onto the pages, not willing to let go of it. Even if the other books were lost, even if she were unconscious, the most important book would not escape her hold.
Meanwhile, Lisia would walk over to Natsu. Finally, she managed ot recover from that Celestial Spirit light which she was vulnerable to. The pink-haired Dragon Slayer would lay on the floor, completely passed out. However, despite that, the Void Wizard would applaud, her hands clapped and she grinned at the sight. She would nod and praise Natsu, saying that his performance was spectacular, and that she enjoyed watching him. The carnage, the devastation, and the utter annihilation of his enemies. It was thrilling to watch and observe, a spectacle to behold. A masterclass of power and destruction.
Although Lisia disliked the destruction of others, to see Natsu progress was a benefit to her. The destruction caused her was bringing the entire library down. Everything here was about to come to an end.
"Master Natsu...A job well done." She would kneel down, and stroke his pink hair, caressing his head. She would carry his body in her arms and exit the library. "The mission is complete. We can leave now with what we can recover." The objective was accomplished, and the God's Library would be a distant memory.
She would step out, the structure collapsing in on itself, its foundations crumbling and falling apart. All the books that were inside, the ones that survived, would vanish, turned to dust. The knowledge of centuries past, would disappear, leaving the people of the Clamorous Coast, and everyone else that knew, in a state of shock. What was the oldest library on the planet, the keeper of information, the place of knowledge and history, was no more. A great calamity had transpired and a legendary place of learning, had been laid to ruin.
All those from the Void Kingdom would depart from here, fleeing with what they had. While they didn't get every book, they still managed to recover a fair amount. Enough to make their efforts here worthwhile. Natsu's job was done, and Lisia had nothing but pride and satisfaction from his actions.
Lucy, Gray and Juvia were all unconscious, completely unresponsive. Natsu never ogt he chance to take Juvia back with him, being unconscious to tell anyone about that. Asher, Tessia, Gwendolyn, Trevor and many librarians were also down, with some even being dead. Whether by Natsu, Lisia or other Void Kingdom Wizards. The battle was finished. Both parties had taken losses, but only one side could technically claim victory.
As Lucy was drifting in the water, unconscious, she would've drowned and perished there. But she was saved. By none other than the Tentacle Creature Mun-mu. The creature was able to retrieve the girl and bring her back to shore, keeping her from a watery grave.
Lucy was placed down at the shore, prompting the nearest citizen of the Clamorous Coast to rush over to her aid, calling the others to assist her. As the town folk ran over to her and the tentacled beast that brought her in, her eyes opened. Although her vision was hazy and blurry, and although her ears rang, she was conscious and responsive, albeit very exhausted.
The creature called, waving its tendrils at her and making a happy noise.
"I'll handle this from here." Someone said. The crowd would split open to reveal an elderly woman. Her name is Matilda, a retired wizard, a doctor of medicine, and an individual who had the ability to heal and treat ailments, whether they be physical or mental, and restore the energy and strength of a weakened and injured wizard. She knew that many of them needed healing at once after the chaos done here.
The octopus-like creature made another cry of joy, jumping in excitement, before leaping into the sea and vanishing underneath the surface. Lucy watched in awe as the creature disappeared.
On the road back to the Void Kingdom, the wizards of said Kingdom were all in large carriages that they had arrived here in. A majority of them were resting in the carriages along with Natsu and Erza. Natsu laid on Lisia's lap while Erza was asleep and leaning on him, cuddling against the pinkette. Their chests would rise and fall steadily, both of their hearts beating in sync. Their faces would be peaceful, content, and relaxed.
Lisia would be stroking his scalp, running her slender fingers through his soft, smooth, rosy locks. She would giggle, staring at his adorable sleeping face.
"I promise you, Master Natsu. Lord Alehot will be proud of your achievements despite the outcome. But those faires...especially that Celestial Spirit Wizard...They truly could be troublesome." She said, thinking about Fairy Tail. "Perhaps Lord Alehot's recent obsession with them might mean something." She whispered to herself.
Lisia knew she was not in the position to question King Alehot. But his focus on Fairy Tail was clear and it was evident to her. There must be something that Alehot saw in the Fairy Tail Wizards. Perhaps he could see the potential in their magic, the strength in their numbers, and the skill in their ranks.
"Whatever happens, I'll follow your lead. Master Natsu." Lisia stated, her loyalty and trust to the man she served unwavering. "You did a fine job today."
"Nn..." Lucy slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurred and hazy at first, her surroundings were not yet visible to her. Her mind was groggy, but she would manage and recover from her current state. She could barely make out her environment, and her senses were not as sharp. However, she would hear the sounds of talking around her. People were chattering and conversing, the sound of footsteps were heard, and there were other noises that filled her hearing. As she got a little more adjusted to the room, she could hear the chatter of people, and she could make out the voices of Gray and Juvia.
"Lucy!" She heard. She was on a bed in the medical ward of the inn. Surrounding her were the doctors that were taking care of her and her allies. They would cheer, knowing that she had recovered. Lucy would try to speak, but she found that her mouth and throat were dry, and she could not produce any sound.
"Don't strain yourself. You've been out for a couple of hours. I have a feeling you'll be pretty parched." The elder doctor spoke to the girl. Matilda, her name was, a kind and experienced elderly healer. A veteran in the field of magical healing.
Gray and Juvia could be seen nearby, the two awakening not that long ago, also having been taken to the ward. The ice mage had bandages wrapped around his arms, legs, chest, and forehead, while Juvia had bandages covering the lower part of her neck and the back of her head, and a on her stomach. "How's she doing?"
"Much better than earlier." Matilda said. The elder woman would then check on Lucy's pulse and heartbeat. "But her condition could improve. She should stay in bed. Her injuries weren't minor and she'll need to take things slow and steady."
"How's everyone else?" The Ice Mage asked the old healer.
Matilda sighed. "Some have died, I'm afraid. A lot of librarians have gotten out relatively okay, but they'll have to be hospitalized for the time being." Matilda answered. "I'll be honest, things aren't looking too good right now."
Juvia's expression was solemn and melancholy. "What happened to the God's Library?"
"Gone. Destroyed." The doctor responded, her voice stern and firm, her tone was grim, but her words were factual. She was stating the facts and not mincing words. Her voice was calm, collected, and matter-of-fact. This news struck Gray, Juvia and especially Lucy hard, the reality setting in and hitting her. It was a tragedy and a loss that could never be recovered, and the impact of that was a lot for the trio to handle. Their emotions would range from sorrow, to sadness, to grief, and even anger.
Anger towards the Void Kingdom and their ruthless actions, which resulted in so much destruction and chaos, not just in this area, but the entire Clamorous Coast.
"...Gray..." Lucy looked over at Gray, wondering how he was feeling, especially since there was no sign of Erza. Lucy only had to assume that he failed to get Erza back.
However, despite Gray feeling a bit bummed out, he wasn't truly downtrodden. After all, he saw it for himself. He saw that a part of Erza was still in there, proven to him by the fact that Erza hesistated to kill him for a brief moment. If not, his life would've ended, but Erza showed a hint of restraint in her. Which means there's a part of her, deep down that was resisting the Void's influence and the orb that controlled her. A ray of hope that could allow him to bring her home.
"Lucy...You don't have to worry." He would smile at her, trying to raise her spirits. "We can free Erza of their control."
"Huh? How so? She's clearly brainwashed." Lucy stated.
"Yeah, but that's not going to stop me from trying to break her from it. I saw it for myself. She hesitated back there. Erza's still in there." His determination would burn fiercely, and the will to save the redheaded knight would be a priority in his goals. He wanted to do everything in his power to help her, and the flame of resolve in his soul would not extinguish. Not until he gets his way, not until he finds a solution, and not until he saves her from her fate.
"...So, that means we can save her from that! We can undo their influence!" Lucy added on, the light of hope and optimism in her would begin to shine, and the idea of saving her comrade was something that would not die out in her heart.
"Next time...Next time will be different. I just wish we managed to save some of those books." Gray sighed, lowering his head. "This mission was considered a failure to him. "Damn it."
"I only managed to recover this one. The librarian made it sound important." Lucy looked at the only book in her hands. The rest were now wet and ruined.
"Hm?" The Nurse raised her eyebrows upon seeing the book and the words that were on it. The words on it said, the Book of AED. "That...looks familiar..."
"What's that?" Gray and the others were confused, not recognizing the cover or anything else. However, Matilda, the elder lady was more familiar with the item. She was an elderly doctor who had lived a very long life and had accumulated a great deal of experience in the world of medicine, healing, and the body. So much knowledge on her, that she was able to recognize that specific book and recall what it contained.
"That book...I was once a librarian of the God's Library before becoming a doctor. That book...is a forbidden book. It was locked away in the Forbidden Archive." The doctor recalled. "The Forbidden Archives were an archive that stored the most dangerous books. The library has had many accidents from those books. Books that are capable of teaching magic that was deemed to be too hazardous for anyone to use." Matilda stated, remembering what was written on that page.
"The God's Library was created by a powerful mage that was on par with the Black Wizard Zeref and that wizard, a man known only as AED. Both are long since gone, but they left behind many things of great power. Of all the things to survive..."
"It's that important...?" Lucy gasped.
"With the God's Library destroyed, we cannot keep it there anymore." Matilda groaned, lowering her head. "I am certainly not eligible to look after it anymore, even if I know little about it. Young lady. If possible, could you keep that book safe somewhere?"
"I'll try..." She would look at the book. Whatever was inside, she'd make sure it doesn't get into the wrong hands. It could be used for evil, or for good. In her eyes, that would be the best decision. For now, her thoughts drifted back to her guild mates.
A day would pass and Lucy would manage to recover. With the God's Library gone and their job done, there was no need to linger around at the Clamorous Coast anymore. They would have to return to the guild in Magnolia, where they could report on the happenings that occurred here, and inform Makarov on what transpired during their mission.
But as for the Void Kingdom, once they returned, Natsu was already laying in a bed, and he was in the process of recovering. Erza was next to him, and the Scarlet woman would've stayed with him, comforting him and tending to his needs. However, she had to recover as well, sleeping near Natsu. And Lisia would sit in a chair, waiting patiently for Natsu to wake up.
"Hm." Aleehot looked down on the two of them while also gazing the books they managed to retrieve. The Void Kingdom managed to collect an impressive amount. While it was unfortunate that the God's Library was no more, and the opportunity to gain the other volumes and tomes was a missed one. The king would not complain, as he could always try to seek out more books and scrolls, or whatever he could get his hands on in the future.
As the young pink-haired dragon slayer would awaken, he would see that he was back at his quarters. His vision would be a bit hazy at first, but then it would clear and come into focus, allowing him to make out his surroundings. The king was standing in his presence, with Tigha and his guards at the side, and the dark-skinned man had a smile on his lips, his golden eyes gleaming in delight and approval.
"Big Boss Alehot..." He would rise, but his head was throbbing, and his entire body was still aching from his injuries. His body was screaming in agony and his limbs felt heavy, his muscles were sore and strained. Even his bones were protesting, and he had trouble keeping his eyes open and focused on his leader. He could see a few bandages wrapped on him, and a few small patches on him as well.
"Rest. Natsu. You have done a fine job. A fine one indeed." Alehot commended him, placing his large hand on the young boy's shoulder. Natsu's eyes widened at his words, not expecting such praise. "Clearly, some work needs to be done to ensure more effective outcomes in the future, and that our objectives are properly completed without failure. However, I can say that you are getting close to becoming the Conqueror I want you to become."
"Awesome..." Natsu sighed, lowering his head. "But man. That Fairy Tail...They're not bad. Not bad at all."."
"Indeed. They have been on my mind recently and I was right to expect them to be a problem of sorts. I have to think of something to handle them and soon." King Alehot said. "You know what that means, don't you?"
"Yeah. More training. I'm up for it! I wanna get stronger and take 'em on again!" Natsu exclaimed before feeling a bit of a cramp in his arm. "Ow!"
"Correct. After that, I will designate you for another mission soon. I already know what the next mission will be. You and a few others will be teaming up with a group of ours. The Oracion Seis." The king would nod to him.
"Oracion Seis?"
"I'll let you know about them later. Right now. Rest and enjoy yourself. How would you like to be pleasured by our many women again? You seemed to be thrilled about before."
"Hm..." Natsu closed his eyes, thinking for a moment. But his mind had been made up on someone else. "Nah...I think I'll try Erza this time. She's done pretty good so far, so I guess I should be the one rewarding her too, ya know."
"Very well." The king chuckled, finding it amusing that Natsu chose the former Fairy Tail Wizard over the countless females of the Void Kingdom. He didn't protest or complain. Erza was his now after all. "You earned her and her skills, son. Use them."
"Hehe, thanks Big Boss." Natsu grinned. He couldn't wait to see what sort of skills and abilities the redhead could perform in bed. But in all honesty, he just wanted to feel that strange power surge from before.
Alehot gave the orders and the servants would rush to do the bidding of the mighty King of the Void. It was a simple order: to bring Erza to him, to allow her to serve Natsu, to allow the two to engage in sexual acts. And the servants complied without hesitation, running to fetch the slave.
As soon as the deed was done, and Erza had arrived, she would walk to the young boy and kneel, awaiting his instructions, his desires, and his demands. Her body had healed since she took the least amount of damage in that entire mission.
"You're still hurt. I will tend to that, Master Natsu." She stated in a monotone voice, but her body would tremble and shake in anticipation. She had an idea of what would be required from her. After all, her new role was to obey the will and command of Natsu and the rest of the Void Kingdom, to serve them as their property and their tool, to fulfill any task and to please any whim of their desire.
"Well, I'm not really that hurt, but go on." Natsu said. His voice was calm, and he would lay on his back, not moving his injured and bandaged form. "Let's see what you can do."
"Yes, Master Natsu." Erza bowed her head, and began to strip away the bandages and clothing from her body. She was not embarrassed, not shy, not hesitant. Her hands were steady, her face was devoid of any blush. Her movements were precise and efficient, not a hint of reluctance, or hesitation, or shyness. Her body would move as gracefully and smoothly as a machine. Soon enough, her bare breasts were revealed to him. Round, supple, perky and firm, with soft nipples that were already erect, and a flat and toned stomach. Her legs, which were muscular and smooth, and her hips, and thighs were also on display.
His gaze was fixed upon her, and his mind would focus solely on her. The way her skin glowed, the curves of her body, and her facial features were perfect. Natsu has already seen it once but it was still impressive. Before, Erza only pleasured him with her breasts, but now, she would go beyond that. This would be a full session, and the goal would be to pleasure the dragon slayer, to provide him the ultimate bliss, the ultimate ecstasy.
"Now, time for me to work, Master." She would say, her voice still a monotone, yet sensual, and seductive, and alluring. Erza's slender hand would grasp Natsu's member and gently rub it up and down. Then, she would lower herself and kiss the tip. She would not waste a second. Erza had a task to accomplish and she was going to accomplish it. No hesitation. No reluctance. No embarrassment. No shyness.
She would then proceed to wrap her lips around his shaft and suck on it. Her tongue would swirl around and caress it, and her mouth would bob and bob and bob. Natsu was enjoying this. This felt nice, really nice. His hands were gripping the bed sheets and his toes curled, and his teeth clenched. His eyes would be squeezed shut. It felt really nice.
Erza's pace would pick up and she would suck harder. She would slurp and moan. Her tongue would dance around the sensitive organ, and her mouth was making loud noises. Natsu's large cock was twitching and pulsating, and his heart was pounding. This was a whole different experience compared to before. He could feel his loins burning. A pressure would begin to build and swell within his groin. Natsu's grip would tighten, his fingers would dig into the fabric. Natsu's breathing would become shallow. Sweat was beginning to form on his brow.
"Oh yeah, that feels amazing, Erza." His words would encourage the girl. "Keep doing that."
Her response would be a low hum, and the vibrations would reverberate throughout his shaft. The pleasure would increase and the heat would grow. Erza would continue to suck, to bob her head, and to fondle his balls. Natsu's breath would quicken. His chest would rise and fall rapidly, his pulse would quicken, his blood would boil, his muscles would tense and flex.
This was the most incredible thing he had ever experienced. It was better than any of the food that he ate, and it was much more thrilling than fighting against an opponent. This was something that would leave him wanting more and more of this. The sensation of being sucked, of having his cock stimulated, of being teased and aroused. This was unlike anything he had ever felt before. The urge to release, to spew forth, to let loose would rise. His cock was pulsing. It was throbbing. It was ready to blow its load.
The first shot of his seed would fly, and it was thick and creamy. The taste and smell of his essence was rich. His balls would clench, and a flood of sticky white semen would erupt and shoot from his member. The sheer amount of his cum would surprise even Erza, and the force of his ejaculations would push her head off. The first jet of his hot goo would splash onto her chin and cheek. Another rope would land on the left side of her forehead, and another strand of the liquid would splatter onto the top of her breast.
It was not the end though. A third, fourth and fifth torrent of his essence would follow and stain her face and upper body, coating her in a layer of sticky white stuff. The scent of his musk, of his essence would fill the air, and it would linger for a long time.
But after unleashing it, it happened. Once more, that sensation from Natsu was kicking in and it happened much faster due to how Erza pleased him. His entire room was bathed in a blazing light that radiated from his own skin, and a strong, warm, comforting, and powerful aura was emitted. Erza was bathed in the radiance of his light, and the sight was breathtaking, and beautiful.
"Master Nat-" But her words were cut off as Natsu would suddenly grip her hair. And by force, he made her continue the process, shoving her mouth back into his member. "Mmm!" Her cheeks would bulge out as the girth of his member was stretching them out, and his cockhead would slam against the back of her throat, and his length would reach to her esophagus. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, Natsu would flip her over, pinning her down, and her ass would raise up in the air.
"W-What is this...?" Erza couldn't understand what was going on. When looking at Natsu, she saw how his eyes were glowing a golden light and his veins were visible on the surface of his skin, glowing a golden hue as well. His body would also give off the faintest glow. He stood over her with such power. His member itching to plunge into her. And without warning, he did.
The tip of his shaft would penetrate the depths of her vagina. Immediately, she felt her insides were being stretched and spread, and the tightness of her pussy walls would make it difficult for him to thrust further. But he did not relent and continued to force himself deeper.
"Ooohn~!" Erza moaned.
The sound of his pelvis slapping against hers filled the air. Each thrust would cause her tits to jiggle. He was so rough, and he was not slowing down. He was not giving her any time to adjust to the size of his cock, or the fact that he had claimed her virginity and that he was plowing her cunt. All that was in her mind was a singular thought, that was to satisfy her master, to fulfill her duty to the Void Kingdom and to the young wizard.
"Damn. That feels great." Natsu grunted as he thrust harder. "You like this too, don't you?"
"I love this, Master!" she responded in between gasps. Her body rocked back and forth. Her large boobs swaying and jiggling with each motion. "Please keep going!" She pleaded. Her body would move to his rhythm, her hips rolling back and forth. The two would fuck hard and fast. Natsu was using her, and the Scarlet mage was loving every moment of it, and she would submit to him. Her mind was focused solely on him, on her Master. She didn't care about her previous guild, or her old life. All that mattered now was the young dragon slayer that was slamming his dick in and out of her. And she wanted more. She wanted to be ravished. She wanted him to use her. To take her. To fuck her brains out.
And that would happen, his speed increasing, his pace accelerating, his strength rising, and the pleasure that both of them were feeling was increasing, their hearts pounding. His grip on her hair was tight and firm. The bed creaked underneath their combined weight. His thrusts were becoming harder and deeper, and her pussy walls would contract and stretch to accommodate him, and the friction and warmth were amazing.
"Fuck. This is great." He groaned, and the two of them were drenched in their sweat. "Feels. So good."
That sensation within him would increase. And so would his aggression. He would grab Erza's hair, pulling it, and the bed would creak. His hips would slap against hers, his cock pounding away at her, and the bed would creak.
And then, that feeling of power would increase once again, and it would increase drastically. In a single burst of energy, Natsu's bedroom would be destroyed, but he wasn't finished, with him holding her from her ankles and her legs, raising her high in the air while impaling her.
It was a lewd scene that could be seen. A naked man was holding a naked scarlet woman up, with her pussy dripping with fluids and his cock embedded in it. The floor below their feet was cracking, and the room would rumble.
"H-He's..." Tigha was awestruck at the sight. She was watching this the entire time, a voyeuristic fetish that was common among those in the Void Kingdom. However, the level of magic, of power, that was being displayed, was on an entirely different scale. "Oh...I wish I could be the one doing such things to Erza if I was allowed..." Tigha found herself enjoying the sight, feeling herself get wet. She didn't want to admit it, but she was jealous of the Scarlet Mage, because of the fact that the pink-haired wizard was fucking her.
Natsu was lasting longer than before. The positions would change as Natsu pinned her down on her back, having Erza's legs wrap around his back while he thrusted deep within her. The pleasure was building, the pressure would be increasing.
He was reaching his peak. He was about to release his seed once again. With a loud grunt and a powerful roar, a massive amount of his essence would spurt from the depths of his balls, a massive deluge that would flood her womb and spill onto the ground. Even Erza's eyes widened when that would occur, not believing that this could even be possible, to have someone have the stamina, to have the virility to release that much.
She would not question how or why, or the implications of the event. Instead, she would just embrace it. The heat of the situation was intoxicating and overwhelming.
Then, everything would come to a standstill, with both of them staring at each other, panting, breathing hard, and sweating profusely. The sensation with Natsu would fade away once more, returning his body to normal. And Erza's stomach would be swollen, her belly sticking out and her womb was full of his sperm. And yet, the two weren't finished. Far from it. Erza, the loyal servant, the faithful slave of the Void, would not stop until her Master was satisfied. Natsu, on the other hand, was already satisfied. He felt a sense of relief, and of joy, of accomplishment, and of pride, and of satisfaction.
Satisfaction indeed. Natsu smiled, pleased with what had occurred. And to think that he could have this as much as he wanted. And if he becomes an emperor, something like this could elevate to an insane degree. The idea excited him. There was more to come. But not just with the pleasure, but with his missions as well.
Although, he had to wonder what Lucy felt like. Just by feeling her chest once, she felt amazing to Natsu. Now, the Celestia Spirit Wizard was someone that could come up in his mind more often. And he wouldn't have it any other way.
