Chapter 7 - Oldest Trick in the book.

" I can't use phase two of lightning and thunder phase two attacks more than 2 time now. I have to for the head, or arms and not miss thunder to win this." 

He had successfully confused his opponent with this Mirror's front skill, the top three skills used by the Erza were-

「 1. Impact of Harmonics(unique skill)

 2. Earthquake

 3. Mud Lake 」

"If the character profile is correct, he will try to earthquake again. Or maybe he will make the ground nearby into a swamp. Either way I jump onto the nearby tress for safety." 

Erza started right into Silver's eyes, there was rising frustration in his head, but it had not hit the mark yet. 

"!!"

Instead of casting any spell, Erza lunged forward with his staff in his hand; and attack the spike Silver was standing on. In a single blow, the entire stone pike was broken apart, and Silver lept right; just Erza to catch him midair.

"Take this." The swing came from the side, feeling like a strike that could take down mountain; and crush a human's bones in powder. The staff clashed with the stones instead of bones, and sent them flying away into the wall. 

Silver jumped back and landed on the ground. His heart pumping from the near death encounter he faced.

"What was close. I used the stones nearby to send me a little bit up and dodge the attack but luck won't be on my side every time. I need to win this fast, he is unleashing more of his powers the longer the fight lasts."

Silver began absorbing more and more mana from his surroundings, charging him up further. While his opponent was also preparing for next surprise, 

"I have to admit, Outsider. You have really brought out the excitement of battle inside me. I give you a chance to surrender and save your life. Tell me your name?" Erza flashed pure smile, free from any malice and ill-intent, a really wanted Silver to live. But the words fell on deaf ears.

"I am also giving you and chance to save your life, if you kill me and go ahead you will die. Go back save your life; it will help both save time and trouble." Silver knew his words fell on deaf ears.

"You speak funny words, but I don't fear you understand the extent of my powers. I think it's time to send you to the afterlife..."

"Not if I send to the herbalist first." 

Both sides began charging up there attacks; Silver had pumped his mana to the full, and secretly between the conversation he bought a potion to further enhance his agility and mana capacity to Lvl.200 for 3 minute .

"I've spent years worth money on this potion. I need to win this quick,and for that my plan should work."

On the other side, the enemy was calm and standing in his place without a hint of fear against his opponent's increasing power. Just a pure smile on his face.

*Clash

The sword met the staff in a single attack; it was thrust straight to the heart but Erza parried it right before. Silver zapped to his back and tried the same once again, but the parried the next attack. 

The slashed and thrusts came from all directions, each one was parried. The staff rotated like wheel, through all directions effortlessly stopping any attempt of Silver's sword touching him.

"Damn you!" Silver screamed in frustration at his opponent, who just smiled at him.

Silver went for stab in the Erza's feet this time, but before he could even slide below the sword was blocked by Erza's foot. "Do you think you can hurt?" He asked in mocking smile.

Silver replied with a smile of his own, "I very well can." . That wiped the smile off Erza's face when he forget the ability he had just faced a second ago.

「 Skill Successfully Activated: Lightning and Thunder( Phase two)」

" He baited me by faking his frutrations." The sword instead of being blocked stabbed right through Erza's armour and entire lower leg, with excruciating pain in his body, which suddenly began growing

"Aaaah..." Before Erza finished his scream, Silver let go his sword and punched Erza right in the face. His balance disturbed Erza's face became a punching bag Silver's hands which impacted two times just like his attacks.

Erza's tried to protect his face by making up some armour, but that didn't last more than 2 hits. The damage Silver's was doing was outpacing Erza's healing. 

"Take this and this..." Before he could fall on the ground, with a sword in his foot. Silver had already punched Erza's face in a bloody mess with many of his teeth lost, and Erza had fainted from all the damage on his face. 

「 Skill: Lightning and Thunder is deactivated.」

The lightning disappeared and Silver was back in human looking form. He stood up and removed his sword from Erza's leg and blood came leaking out of his cut-out body. 

「 All potions effect have disappeared. 」

The purchase of all those potions was worth it, 

" I only need to get him off balance to strike, so I maxed my mana capacity to make sure I could use lightning and thunder for the longest. After, he got off balanced, I had to max out my strength and agility to get the maximum amount of powerful punches in the least amount of time combined with lightning and thunder."

「Warning: You have fatigued your body to the limit. Rest immediately.」

"Ah... that wasn't part of the plan, using lightning and thunder is too heavy. I need to find something else that puts less toll on my body. aaa..."

Silver's legs betrayed him and he fell on the ground instantly when the battle fervor finally settled down. He couldn't move a muscle, and everything was going hasy. 

"Nope... can't rest here... if he wa...wakes up... What will I do..?" But something are not in control of everyone. So, Silver lost his vision and fell on the ground. Now, there was only hope, that Alsana would come rescue and not some wilds animals would eat him.

"wragh..." 

Which he already could hear nearby coming to eat him, but his eyes closed, ears stopped listening, mind stopped thinking and he finally took a rest after winning a battle against a warlord.
