Devil's Word Magic In Fairy Tail

Chapter 19 - Crego Island.

After traveling the sea by boat for a while, we finally reached the island where the lighthouse is at.

The lighthouse itself is quite big actually.

It's on the other side of the island yet you can still see it from way over here!

(A/N: Southern part of the island)

After getting the boat ashore both me and Erza walked towards the general direction of the lighthouse.

"According to the mayor's request this island also has an abandoned asylum, I would like to check it out after we go to the lighthouse." I said as we were walking through the woods

"That's fine, I also think it's worth checking out. If there is someone behind all the disappearances and the lighthouse not working then that asylum would make the perfect hideout." Erza replied

About half an hour of walking later we reached the lighthouse.

It was made mostly out of stone, was quite molded from top to bottom and stood a good fifty meters in height!

I had used {Danger Perception} {Presence Perception} {Detection} and even {Search} before we arrived but there was no reaction from inside the towering building.

"Give me a second Erza, I'll check it out inside. {Clairvoyance}!" After casting the spell I looked inside of the building.

There was sighs of struggle and everything was a mess. Even some old dried up blood but there wasn't enough to assume someone was killed.

Probably someone got beaten up really badly after struggling during capture.

"It's empty. The people that came here to fix the malfunction must have been captured and dragged away by force from the lighthouse." I said after checking it out.

"Anything in particular that could lead us to them?" Erza asked

"Inside? No, nada. But our friends over there might be able to tell us something." I replied and pointed towards the forest where a bunch of people were hiding with illusion magic.

"Crap baskets! Kid's got some bloody good senses!" A tall and thin looking man with a staff and long silver hair who seemed in his early twenties yelled out.

He's apparently the one that had casted the illusion spell.

He deactivated his spell revealing a bunch of people wearing black robes.

Dark mages I would assume.

"Go on ya idiots, get em!" Another taller and bulkier man who looked to be around his mid-thirties with black short hair and a beard yelled out an order to the rest of the dark mages.

The leader I would assume?

Afterwards about a dozen dark mages ran towards us while preparing a variety of different spells.

"Wait! Make sure you don't kill them you rectangular dumbasses! We need them both alive to act as our damn sacrifices!" The long silver haired illusion mage yelled out but it was already too late.

All of them sent different 'deadly' elemental based spells rushing towards us.

Erza took her sword out and was ready to try and block them but I laid my hand on her shoulder to stop her and walked in front saying {Barrier}.

Afterwards a blueish orb enveloped us both protecting us from the incoming attacks.

After a small explosion smoke covered us and we could hear the illusion mage yelling at the middle aged man:

"You utter hog wash pile of buffoons! Theod, If they're dead you're all taking their places as the shitty sacrifices!"

"Calm yer self Rowl. Thems be mages from an official guild on a job ta save those workers we captured I would presume, I doubt they'll croak that easily even if they are kids!" The middle aged man 'Theod' replied to the illusionist 'Rowl'

"I swear… You're too reckless you damn burly oversized kangaroo! As I've said countless times before, the Guild master should have let me in charge of the fifth division not you!"

"Look'ere Rowl… I hate ta break it to ya but yer a bloody psychopath! Why would da guild leader entrust ya with anything of importance?

Anyway da smoke will clear up soon and we'll take em back with us to the base. I'm sure they're at most unconscious after having all them spells hit them."

But before they could continue their arguing I casted {Silence Zone} creating a big area of about a fifty meters where sound couldn't escape from.

This way no one else will hear what I'm going to do next.

I created a huge strike of thunder with my {Thunder strike} spell electrocuting and knocking all the dark mages out.

After the smoke cleared up we saw them all on the ground except for the Illusion mage Rowl and the middle aged man Theod that ordered the attack.

This 'Rowl' actually managed to block my attack with a barrier of his own protecting the both of them!

That's actually quite impressive.

"Nice job Arthur! I've got the big one!" Erza said and rushed towards the two dark mages.

"Tsk. Damn brats! Don't get c.o.c.ky just because you took those extras out!" Theod yelled at us and took a big great-sword out swinging it downwards towards Erza!

Erza dodged to the right and jumped kicking him in the chin with her boot!

However Theod took it like a champ and sliced horizontally at Erza who blocked his sword strike with her own sword getting launched around three to four meters away from him in the process.

"Rowl! I've got the sword girl, you take care of that electric mage boy!" Theod roared at his companion while rushing at Erza with another swing prepared.

"Fine! Just stay on your guard you idiot! I'm through fixing your mess so after this I'm personally going to sacrifice you to that damn artifact!" Rowl replied and pointed his staff at me.

"What? You saw what happened earlier, you won't be able to hurt me with any cheap spells you know." I said while facing Rowl.

"Who said anything about hurting you…? You little CHICKEN IMP!" Rowl roared out and a bright light enveloped the tip of his staff.

Suddenly the world turned upside down!

All of the colors started changing rapidly and everything was spinning!

Erza and those two were nowhere to be seen…

"W-what the hell is this…" I said and nearly threw up from all of the disorientation.

"A cheap spell as you called it." I heard a distorted voice from every direction.

"Eat shit and die you worthless heap of frog shit!" I once again heard the distorted voice yell at me.

I was then suddenly hit in the side of my stomach with incredible force sending me flying for what seemed like miles.

"*Cough* God damn it… *Cough* is this all an illusion? Didn't think they were this effective…" I said after finally landing on the ground.

"But of course they are! They're MY illusions after all! To think a mere child like you saw through them earlier is… preposterous! You deserve PUNISHMENT for it you LITTLE UNGRATEFUL PILE OF RASBERRY SHIT!!!" The distorted voice yelled out once again.

This must be that guy 'Rowl' or whatever's voice…

Damn, no wonder that Theod guy said he's a psychopath… The hell is up with those weird insults?! What am I supposed to be grateful for anyway?!

"Cheap magic is still cheap. {Cleanse}!" I casted a spell that cleared any negative status effects I had on me.

I then stood up and looked straight at Rowl.

"W-w-w-w-ww-wWHAT?! H-h-h-h-how did you dispel m-m-my illusions?! T-they should have been p-pperfect!" He said while stuttering in shock.

"Arthur! I finished up here already, do you need a hand?" Erza asked while putting her right leg on the unconscious Theod's back.

"T-Theod! You useless seven legged baboon! Get up and c-c-capture that g-girl! Hurry up and h-help me!" Rowl started panicking

"Nah I've got this guy. {Water Prison}." After saying the words Rowl was enveloped in a ball of floating water!

Rowl couldn't breathe and started drowning in the water prison.

After about twenty seconds of watching him struggle I deactivated my spell and he fell to the ground soaking wet.

"Well then. It seems my friend here already knocked your companion out cold. So could you maybe point us towards your so called 'Base' instead? Oh and you said something about an artifact and sacrifices?" I asked with a smile.

"As if I'd ever tell you anything! Do you know what they would do to me if I did?!" He said with a glare

"Perhaps not. But whoever they are. They aren't here right now. And I am." After saying that I casted {Rose binding} on him and then brought him up to a height of twenty meters with the roses.

It looked like a pillar of roses with him on top.

Afterwards I had it outstretch with him from the top to the side and then I made it start spinning him in a circular motion at more than 100 km/h.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! I WON'T TELL YOU ANYTHING EVEN IF YOU TORTURE ME LIKE A TREE TO DEATH!" Rowl yelled out another weird shout while spinning like a helicopter.

"Huh, he's quite gutsy isn't he?" Erza commented.

"Give him a minute…" I said

After about ten straight minutes of spinning, weird cursing and a lot of barfing he finally gave up.

"Pleaseeee… make it stoooooopppp! Brgh… *Throws up* I swear I'll talk! Just make it stoooop...!" Rowl started begging me to stop the spinning while throwing up everywhere.

"Okay then, if that's what you want." I said and made the spinning stop letting him fall to the ground.

"*Thud* Ouch… Why did you let me fall to the… BRGHHH *Throws up* Ground…?" He asked

"Because you're annoying, now tell us where to find your buddies. I can't seem to find them anywhere on this island."

While he was spinning I decided to search the island for their base but to no avail.

They must have some powerful barrier protecting it from outside view.

"Y-yes, yes, yes… Of course not! Our guild's best illusion wizard, my teacher cast a barrier over it! Do you think a little turd like you could breach his great masterful spells?! I out to-" I cut him off and talked to Erza

"So should I spin him again?" I said while looking at Erza

"Yeah, I think you should." She replied.

"W-wait! No no no no no! I'm sorry! I'll talk I'll talk so please have mercy on me!"

"Go on then, speak!" Erza demanded

"O-our base is the old abandoned asylum on the w-western side of the island. I'll take you there so please! Don't spin me anymore…! *sob* aaaahhhhh *sob* *sob*"

Oh great the psycho started crying! Now I feel bad…

"Okay, okay! I won't spin you again so take us there! Just please stop crying!" I said

"Really? You really mean it?! Then let us proceed!" He said and jumped on his feet all energetic.

"Come on, you majestically retarded turds, it's this way!" What a complete 180 degree turn in attitude! The heck?!

"Maybe you SHOULD spin him again…" Erza got annoyed and whispered to me

"Nah, I think its fine… for now…" I replied with my own whisper.

Though I am pretty annoyed myself not gonna lie…

After binding all of the dark mages and Theod so they don't escape we followed Rowl who was also tied up to the asylum.

Along the way Erza asked him about the so called artifact again.

"So about that artifact…" Erza asked

"What artifact?" Rowl replied with a question of his own while walking

"Don't act dumb! Or do you want Arthur to spin you around like a top gain?" She said angrily.

"F-fine fine! I'll tell you what I know… But it ain't much...

As far as I know the artifact is a powerful and ancient blade once used by a powerful hero of old.

Legends say that it will only awaken after being fed many powerful souls. The awakening has something to do with a Demon of the books of Zeref or whatever… I didn't really care about the rest so this is all I know. I swear! I'm only here to learn from my master!" Rowl answered the question.

"Thats... Look here if you're lying…" Erza started speaking but I cut in and said

"Don't worry. I can detect lies with my {Truth Perception} and he has only spoke the truth so far."

"That so…? Okay then, just make sure to lead us to your base okay." She said to Rowl

"O-of course of c-course… I'm leading y-you b-both to the b-b-base!" Ding! That's a lie.

So I'm supposed to expect an ambush then? {Telepathy}

["Erza. Seems like we're in for an ambush sooner or later. Stay on your guard."]

["… Right!"] She replied after being surprised for a second by my telepathy spell.

But still... Another demon of the books of Zeref? Really? And this time I don't even know what it can do...

This really will be troublesome if that thing manages to awaken...

After exiting the forest there was mostly just flatlands with some tree's here and there.

My perception spells suddenly reacted and I realized we were surrounded.

"Hey, Rowl. Tell your friends they can stop hiding." I said while pulling the rope he was tied up with.

"H-how did you know?! Oh right truth perception! Damn it… Everyone! You've been compromised! So show yourselves and beat the green snot out of these brats!" Rowl yelled out and three groups of over a dozen dark mages appeared from the front, left and right directions with us in the center.

"Rowl! You stupid disciple! How could you allow yourself to be captured by these children?!" An old man that looked like Gandalf yelled at Rowl furiously.

"Don't underestimate them master! The boy can see through all my illusions and even managed to detect yours just now! Didn't you even understand that you senile geezer!?" Rowl replied angrily.

"Why you little shit…" the old man said quietly with an angry whisper.

"That so…? Hey, Wolt you mind if my third division takes care of these rats?" A muscular man with twin great-swords on his back that looked to be in his late twenties asked the Gandalf looking dude that was apparently named Wolt.

"They have my disciple! It should be my second division that does this, not yours Jorris!" Wolt argued back

"Hate to break it to you two, but I believe me and my fourth division could finish them off far faster than you two." A woman dressed like a witch in her mid-twenties said

"In your dreams Nelti!" Jorris roared at her.

What the hell is this? A comedic skit or something?

"Instead of arguing amongst yourselves… Why not all charge at us all at once? You know what strength in numbers is right?" I asked them like I was looking at idiots

"You arrogant generic prick! You're speaking to three of the strongest members of our guild and the leaders of the divisions!" Rowl yelled at me

"You can keep your mouth shut." I said and kicked him in the t.e.s.t.i.c.l.e.s.

"AAAAAAAAAhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAaaaaaa" Rowl screamed with a rather high pitch voice and fell to the ground while holding his crotch.

Aaaaand he's out ladies and gentlemen.

"… Did you have to do that though?" Erza asked looking concerned for the poor man.

"Probably not, but he was seriously getting on my nerves…" I replied

"ROWLLLLL!!! You despicable boy! You've just turned my one and only disciple into a woman!" Wolt yelled angrily at me

"PFFFF!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA" Jorris laughed his a.s.s off

"Hey Wolt! Don't go doing anything weird to your new lady friend over there! Pffff Hahahahahaha." He said to Wolt while still laughing his a.s.s off

"Don't laugh! This isn't funny damn it! I'll kill the damn brat myself!" Wolt said and pointed a staff at me.

"Oh no you don't. {Storage}!" I opened my storage spell and took out a white Hollow mask imbued with my magic.

It's quite sturdy actually and pretty damn cool looking!

I made it along the way with an Illusion resistance enhancement, as well as an automatic cleanse effect if the resistance didn't hold up.

Writing spells on stuff can apparently make said stuff into magical items. Cool huh?

By the way I started using masks like this after Isvan.

A sort of way to protect my mouth should it get covered so that I can still speak and cast spells.

A white blinding light appeared on Wolt's staff and a powerful illusion was cast on me breaching my resistances! Thankfully the automatic cleanse managed to remove it instantly.

"M-my spell?! Impossible!" Wolt roared.

"Seems like you've lost your touch old man. I'll take care of him." The witch Nelti said and pointed all her fingers at me.

"{Cob web String Prison}!" She said and strings in the form of a sphere appeared around us!

"Is she trying to catch is right of the bat?" Erza said and readied her sword

"That won't work either. {Cut}!" I said and all of the strings and webs were cut into pieces.

"Even my strings don't work!?" She was surprised

Afterwards Jorris suddenly appeared wielding his two great swords and struck at me with both of them.

However Erza managed to stop both of his swords by blocking with her own cheap broadsword.

After a quick exchange of blows they both retreated.

"Damn, this brat is actually pretty good! I call dibs so you all can have the other kid! Oh and men, help the other two divisions with the boy!" Jorris said to his companions

"You can't be serious! My magic doesn't even work on that kid! You as a warrior should take him on!" Nelti said angrily

"Nah, you're on your own. I've got different prey in sight!" He replied.

"Erza, do you think you can handle him?" I asked her while they were arguing

"I probably can, but my sword on the other hand might not be able to…" She said and a crack appeared on her broadsword

"Ahhh… I see. Well then you can have these. {Swords}!" I said and two sturdy katana swords appeared.

Both with physical properties and I even enhanced their durability as much as I could.

"Thanks! This helps allot." Erza said and threw her old sword at Jorris who was still talking. Now holding twin swords of her own!

Jorris blocked the broadsword with one of his great swords and it broke in half.

"Hooh. Quite Eager aren't we?" Jorris said to Erza then the two went away to the side and started their fight.

"Now… To deal with you guys." I said while turning around to look at everyone.

"Tsk… Fire everything you have at him! Breach his defenses!" Wolt said and every dark mage started charging different spells

Over forty spells went flying towards Arthur at once! Some big some small.

"Die you vermin!" Wolt yelled and sent a rather big ball of fire at me

"Heh. {Barrier}!" I said and blocked everything causing a massive explosion at my location.

Smoke and dust covered the spot I was at making them unable to see what happened to me.

"Did we get him?"

"There's no way he survived that right?"

"We should at least capture the girl. Too bad about the boy though but he was too strong to capture."

"Yeah, you're right. If neither of the division leaders' specialized magic works on him we could only kill him…"

Some of the dark mages started jinxing themselves

When the smoke cleared they all wore shocked expressions.

"W-what?! He's alive and dandy ain't he?!" they roared in surprise and shock

"Whelp, that was a pretty big explosion. Bravo! Bravo. *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*" I said while clapping sarcastically

"Damn kid… Guess I really have to resort to a prolonged fight huh??" Wolt said

"Don't get c.o.c.ky little boy! My thread magic is much stronger than what you saw earlier!" Nelti said

"Is that so? Well, well… Either way I'd say it's my turn now isn't it?"

I said while grinning behind my white Hollow mask.
