Multiverse Leveling Up

Chapter 7: Chapter 7



"Then what kind of questions can we ask you?" Yoruichi ask, there must be questions he can answer to them regardless the rules of the tower.

"You can ask me anything related in this floor or the boss monster on the second floor." Malgrove said.

"Alright, then tell us the boss monster on the second floor." Kisuke said, it is better to know what kind of boss is on the second floor rather than not getting any information.

"You need to pay 20,000 points." Malgrove said and awaiting kisuke answer.

"Fine by me." Kisuke shrugged and give Malgrove 20,000 points and the group awaited to see what he would say, instead of talking Malgrove bring out a crystal ball. He show them a glimpse of the boss on the second floor.

"A-Argh R-Run... It-It's so strong! My arms! my legs! We can't defeat this monster! Ah... Aaaaarrrrrgh!" As the scene of location was being shown a male voice howling in pain and died.

"W-Where is it?! Where is it?! Come out and face my you coward!" Said a man looking everywhere for the monster while gripping his weapon tightly. He is afraid and sweat began to appear on his forehead, suddenly a giant shadow with tow yellow eyes appear behin him and slice his neck.

"That's the monsters let's kill it and get the hell out of here." The group began to attack the monster but the monsters swiftly kill them with precise and clean.

The monster kill all the people without taking a sweat, it's like this monster is playing with his prey. The group finally see the boss of the second floor, it's a giant wolf with darker black-navy fur, black nose, grey color four nails, and orange eyes with tan orange pupils. Tan white fur line marks design like scythes over both eyes and a marking underneath the eyes to the mouth. It's entire body is emitting a purple glow and shadowy mist of energy.

"Lycagon The Nightslayer, an ancient beast is the boss of the second floor, Next question!" Malgrove said, While most of the group still processing the monster they just saw orochimaru walked up and asked his question.

"I want to know with how mysterious this tower is, there must exist a force so unhinged that even the divine dare not touch it. I seek knowledge of a power that even gods fear." Orochimaru said.

"Orochimaru! I knew you were crazy but to want something so dangerous, what would you even need it for." Tsunade glared at Orochimaru wondering what he was planning.

"Tsunade, I'm just asking for the sake of my curiosity." Orochimaru's words didn't ease Tsunade at all.

"I see, so you covet knowledge about the forbidden, I'll tell you about the Apocalyptic flame for 35,000 points." Malgrove asked for 35,000 points, Orochimaru and Kabuto used all their points for this information. Once again a projection appeared in the air and there was a dark red flame. The group felt their heads was about to explode and sweat came out from their forehead and backs from just looking at it.

"Seek audience with the Claw of Chaos and The Apocalyptic flame. If you inherit the flame of Apocalypse, your flesh will be served as kindling and seal... seeting you in the path od destruction. This flame cannot be control by mortal nor divine. May chaos, destruction, and death take over the world." On the screen a man wears a black armor and under it appears to be a dark purple undershirt that is surrounded with blue stripes that run along it. His helmet has a triangular red crystal on top. He also has green eyes.

"The Apocalyptic Flame is a chaotic and all-consuming fire that burns everything on it's path with maddening intensity, it's flame radiating deep dark red that distorts space and warp reality around it. It represents uncontrollable destruction and chaos, spreading uncontrobally and engulfing everything on it's path, both physically, mentally, and spiritually driving those who came into contact with it into frenzy and madness. The flame pulses with a dangerous chaotic energy as if it's alive, embodying both desire to burn and to obliterate anything without reason or end. Only an Overlord can handle it." On the screen switch into a giant gate with two statues guarding the gate.

They were processing what they just see but people who are dragons or have connection with dragons became froze and wide eyed looking at the flame.

"That flame is Dangerous." Erza spoke seeing the flames that burn everything.

Their instinct told them to run and don't look back suddenly they are taking a stance ready for a fight. "Woah, what's wrong you guys?, why did you three suddenly like that?" Lucy is surprise her friends suddenly taking a fighting stance.

"Hey, Flame Lizard, what the hell is swrong with you?" Gray ask Natsu but he just silence and still looking at the apocalyptic flame.

Panther look at his partner who is taking a figjting stance and looking at the flame, panther wonder why his partner suddenly like that, it was like an instict. He look at the flame again then look at the three dragon slayer. 'This flame must have some connection to them, If they suddenly reacted like that.'

Irene instantly take a guard, pointed her staff at the flame and sweat appear on her forehead. 'What is that flame?, why is my body suddenly reacted like this?' She didn't know why but deep down she know that she must avoid this flame. She can tell that flame will rip her apart and burn her entire body, mind, and soul until nothing is left of her.

Albion get out and tried to warn vali about the flame. "Vali, Listen to me closely, we need to get away from that flame as far as possible!" Albion warned vali.

"Albion!" Vali is surprise Albion words. "What do you mean–"

"It doesn't matter, listen closely, you can't go to that flame, If you spotted someone using that flame it's better to get away." Albion quickly warn vali and cut off his words because there is one thing he feel when he see that flame, FEAR!

Vali is surprise albion suddenly behave like thisz he usually calm and cool minded. "Can you at explain why did you want me to not get close to that flame?"

"Because that flame, partner, I have a feeling that flame will kill me and you instantly If you touch that flame, and my instinct tell me to run away and to never see that flame again." This shocked Vali because he never would thought this flame could make albion anxious and fear. He look at the flame again and reminded himself to not get near that flame.

"Last question before I leave." Malgrove waited the last question as the screen turned off.

All the people who are related to dragons became relax and loweri g their guard.

"Who is Diabolos? I heard from multiple people from the tower say that he was the reason why the scarlet rot exists here, and how he was connected to Dagon." The last person ask was Azazel, he wanted to know who she was as well as the others.

"I am sorry I can't tell you about Diabolos but I can tell you about Dagon for 100,000 points." Malgrove said, they are dissapointed because they can't get any information about this 'Diabolos'. It's because the rules of the tower but at least they can get answer about Dagon but the price is high.

Azazel, Vali, Sirzech, Grayfia, Rias and her peerage used all their points they had for this information. Once again a screen appeared, this time Dagon appeared on it.

"I dream where people fear me as a conqueror... my flesh and blood rotted corpse after corpse left in my presence... As I awaited my master order... head my words mortal... I am Dagon, one of the generals of Diabolos. And I shall never known Fear." Dagon appeared in the screen as he raised his sword and roared to the heavens, he stood tall at the mountain untold amount of corpses.

"Dagon, one of the generals under Diabolos, born naturally from hell and fighter, he is a genius in combat and master of demonic magic. Dagon was inflicted with a special power use to instantly kill his enemy." Dagon is sitting on his chair with the other generals.

"During his conquering quest under Diabolos, his master told him after he conquer the land he will use his scarlet rot power so this land can be his domain and powering him up. Diabolos current location can't be told to you. Now I must leave, hopefully I can see you all on the next floor." Malgrove dissapeared leaving the group to absorb everything they just learned.

Draco look at Malgrove dissapeared. 'Never would thought I would see him again.' He already met Malgrove many times asking information for a price.

After Malgrove disappeared the group of people stood there all of their minds thinking about one of the three bosses they just saw.

Orochimaru had his mind on the Apocalyptic flame and the power it had, he felt his mind buzz just picturing the powerful flame.

Looking up he saw Tsunade distracted and upon making eye contact with Kabuto they both quickly snuck away. Tsunade had her thoughts on Dagon and the scarlet rot, she and Azazel had been thinking of ways to counter the scarlet rot besides the Preserving Boluses.

"On the second floor, we have to fight that Dark wolf." Natsu clenched his fists and thought about fighting Lycagon.

"What, you scared salamander." Gajeel taunted as he Nastu's blank look on his face.

"No. On the other hand, I can't wait to fight him." Natsu smiled and a burning excitement could be seen in his eyes.

Vali crossed his arms, his gaze sharp and calculating as he observed the group. He wasn't one to waste words, but the gravity of their upcoming challenge stirred something within him.

"Lycagon isn't just powerful," Vali said, his voice even and measured. "He's an ancient Wolf. He's learned from every battle, every opponent. If you think you can beat him you're dreaming."

Natsu's fists clenched at Vali's words, the flames in his heart burning hotter. "Good. That means he's worth fighting." His grin stretched wide, his enthusiasm practically radiating off him.

"I'll take him down and prove once and for all who the strongest dragon slayer is!"

"Typical flame-brain," Gajeel scoffed, his tone laced with mockery. He leaned against a nearby wall, arms crossed and a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"You're all fire and no brains. Lycagon's gonna slice your head before you even get close."

Natsu shot him a glare. "Say that again, metalhead!"

Gajeel shrugged, unfazed. "Just calling it like I see it."

Wendy shifted nervously, her hands wringing together as she listened to their banter. "Lycagon isn't like any monster we have fought, He's killed a lot of people and seems ruthless," she said quietly, her voice tinged with worry.

Her words brought a moment of silence, but Natsu's fiery spirit wouldn't let it linger. "That's why we'll train, Wendy. We'll get stronger, all of us."

Vali's eyes flicked toward Wendy, his expression softening slightly. "Strength alone won't be enough," he said. His tone was serious but not unkind.

At that, Irene finally spoke, her voice calm and commanding. "The little white-haired boy is correct." Her brown eyes glimmered with deep wisdom, her presence commanding the attention of everyone around her.

"Monster or Wolf like Lycagon are not merely beasts of brute force. They are embodiments of ancient power and intellect. If we are to survive, we must be prepared for every facet of his might." Irene said.

Gajeel chuckled darkly, his sharp teeth flashing. "Sounds like fun. I've been waiting for a real challenge."

Wendy frowned, her concern for her friends evident. "We can't just rush in. We need a plan."

Albion's voice resonated through the area.

"You will indeed need more than strength and courage. I can sense the energy of three dragons within you, but my focus is elsewhere."

His voice shifted slightly, tinged with curiosity. "You red-haired woman... you, more than anyone, intrigue me. You are a dragon, aren't you? Your aura seems chaotic, it seems whoever cast the spell to turn you human couldn't resolve your madness."

The group turned to Irene, their expressions ranging from shock to curiosity. She met their gazes calmly, unshaken by the revelation.

"That... explains a lot," Gajeel muttered, scratching the back of his head.

Natsu tilted his head, his fiery enthusiasm dimmed only slightly by the revelation. "Wait, so you're a dragon? Do you know Igneel? And why do you and Erza smell similar?"

Irene offered a small smile. "There are things about my past that are best left unsaid-for now."

Draco just stay away from them and heard their conversation, while they are still talking with each other suddenly Irene set her eyes on him. 'That guy... The power inside of him... he is a dragon... No, he is much more than just a dragon.'

'Shit, she must sense it.' Draco know Irene must sense same kind of energy like him and other dragons, he must get away from them.

"Everyone, looks like we will have to departure here." Draco words surprising fairy tail guild.

"Eh, why!" Lucy is surprise Draco just suddenly want to seperate from them.

"Yeah Draco, stay with us and let's team up to climb together." Natsu said.

"Let's just say I have something I have to do on my own and don't worry we will meet again in the future." Draco said.

"Alright, we can't force you to stay, So good luck in your journey." Erza said.

Draco turned around and speed away from the group and hopefully Irene won't expose his secret.

Erza looked at Irene and before she could say anything Irene looked at her and said, "I heard you're going to do the dragon communion. I would recommend for you not to but in the end, it's your choice Erza." Irene then left the group to meet up with her Ally, and eventually, all the people there split up. The fairy tail group and Kisuke and Yoruichi arrived at the dragon church and after killing the knight they stood before the altar.

"So who wants to go first," Kisuke asked as he saw the majority of the group hesitate, Nastu walked up first took out the heart, and performed the communion, followed by Erza, Gray, Lucy, Juiva, Happy, Carla, Panther Lily, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Gajeel, and Wendy. The communion went normally for everyone besides Wendy and Gajeel. Upon those two doing the communion the Flame dragon breath incantion they were supposed to get changed into a Sky and Iron Dragon breath incantion. Nastu also noticed a boost in his fire magic, when they tried to perform the incations they failed and learned that they would need a seal. So they began to search for where to find one while bonding.
