Chapter 55 - Fifth Servant

Demon, this was a creature created by Zeref, the legendary dark mage, 400 years ago. 

No one knew for sure how this creature was even created, but since it came and was created by Zeref, anything was possible, especially when that creature had ravaged the continent, causing many losses that couldn't be imagined, including Lullaby. 

Frankly, Kira didn't bother to think about all of that, but as he had taken over the Lullaby, which gave him a similar magic to his girlfriend, Mirajane, the Satan Soul, it made him start to think about the demon that existed in this continent, as the improvement that he gained from Lullaby was quite good. 

Not only did his speed, strength, reflexes, and overall physical ability improve, but he also gained Lullaby's special magic, "Music Magic," or simply "Sound Magic." 

Naturally, that improvement could only be gained when he transformed into his Lullaby form, but his mastery over the "Take Over" magic was on another level, and... and... would he be able to take over another creature too? 

For example... a dragon? 

Also, with his Celestial Spirit, could Kira combine everything and gain even more incredible power? 

"..." 

No. 

Kira knew well that the basic foundation of every magic was the magic power, and unless he had a power to absorb the surrounding magics at the fastest speed like how he absorbed other's magic power by kissing them, he knew that once he used his strongest magic, he would be as good as gone. 

Regardless, Kira only hoped that next time, Natsu, Erza, Gray, and the others would be the ones who fought, as he was in charge of support. The role of a rear or a support suited him well, and if possible, he didn't want to leave that position. Frankly, his new servant also gave him good ability, so he could stay at the back instead of directly engaging in battle. 

Chloe von Einzbern. 

Yes, this was the new servant that had assimilated into his body. 

When Kira saw that the tanned, cute little girl was his new servant, he was speechless, and frankly, her skills were quite so-so instead of being so powerful. Still, it was good enough, and it helped him during the battle against Eisenwald and Lullaby, so he was grateful. 

So, what kind of abilities and skills did he gain from this new servant? 

Well, if Kira had to say, they were quite pervy skills. 

Magic Resistance, Independent Action, Mind's Eye (Fake), Projection Magecraft, and Kiss Demon. 

Those were the skills that he gained from Chloe von Einzbern. 

The first skill was obvious, which was the Magic Resistance, but the second skill, the Independent Action, confused him as he wasn't sure what to do with it. 

Based on his understanding, it was a skill that allowed a servant to stay in the world without the support of the Master. 

However, even though many servants had assimilated into his body, he wasn't a servant; he was a real body, a human. Even without this skill, he could stay in this world without worry or the support of the Magic Power. 

Kira thought for a moment, wondering whether this skill could make him keep his magic power like a home generator that provided backup power during a power outage. 

'Hmm... it should be possible?' 

While this backup power wouldn't give him full power, it would give him extra Magic Power during a critical moment when his Magic Power was emptied or when he tried to run away. 

Still, this might be his hypothesis, yet he felt that he could do that by using this skill as a basis. 

Yet, he could do that later as he thought about his third skill, Mind's Eye (Fake), an intuition and sixth sense ability that made him able to omit the verification process and immediately derive the most optimum course of action to fight, avoid danger, and perform many other acts. 

If Kira had to say, it was similar to Shiro Amakusa's Revelation skill, but Shiro's Revelation was much better as it could be used in many other situations, such as searching for people, looking for the right path, or even for a business. On the other hand, the Mind's Eye (Fake) was specialized for a battle instead of various other purposes. 

Still, even though it was similar and probably the lower grade of Shiro's Revelation, it was better than nothing, right? 

On the other hand, Chloe's fourth skill was more unique, Projection Magecraft, a skill that allowed him to reproduce imagined items, including weapons, into reality. This was also the skill that allowed him to produce many Black Keys to fight Lullaby despite not having them in the first place. 

By using his imagination, he manifested the item from his mind into reality. 

Was it a good skill? 

"Hmm...." 

Kira had to say that his feeling was ambiguous towards this skill since compared to the "real item" created by real materials and proper methods, the "fake item" created by the Projection Magecraft was far weaker as the item created by this skill needed very detailed information from the data of materials, methods, timing, history, and all detailed informations, so it could match the "real item," which would take quite a while to do, especially in a battle where a single moment could determine everything. 

More importantly, creating a fake item required quite a sum of Magic Power, and even so, the result would be lower than the original. 

Let's say that if the "real item" had a number of ten, then the "fake item" would be four or five. 

Instead of creating a fake, it was better to create the real, especially with how limited his Magic Power was, and with the real, he could create the damage even stronger with his reinforcement ability, so if the damage of the real item was ten, then he could amplify it into twenty to thirty, and it could also be done with minimum Magic Power. 

Still, the Projection Magecraft wasn't that bad since it could help him create something that he needed, like the Black Key previously. The Magic Power consumption might be high, but it was easy on his wallet. 

So, which one was better, a fake or a real?

Kira could only say it depended on the situation; that was why he felt conflicted about this skill. Yet, this skill had many other uses, but let's talk about that later since his last skill made him feel even more conflicted. 

Kiss Demon. 

It was a skill that allowed him to drain people's energy from kissing, and this was also the reason why Kira's magic power could become full once again when he kissed Lucy. 

Not only was Lucy's magic power high, but she also fitted him perfectly, so the effect was more effective, and when he thought of her lewd action, despite it being her first kiss, she made a hot reaction that made him dream of her during his sleep. 

Regardless, Chloe von Einzbern's skills were quite okay, but her Noble Phantasm lacked an impact, Kira thought.

The Triple-Linked Crane Wings was a suicide technique to defeat an enemy, which he definitely wouldn't use, no matter what, as he didn't like a battle where the result wasn't one hundred percent of his victory. 

Still, the only good thing about this ability was that it gave him perfect data on Kanshou and Bakuya, twin swords representing Yin and Yang, crafted by the blacksmith Gan Jiang of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period of China. Unfortunately, the shape of the swords wasn't that good for fighting and worked better as decoration. 

Lastly, Kira wasn't into close combat, and if he could attack from a distance, why should he get close, right? 

Nevertheless, his gains from everything were great, he thought, and as he thought so, he opened his eyes after a moment of rest in the room within the building where the guild masters of the guild had their meetings. 

Unlike in the original, this building wasn't destroyed by Natsu, Gray, and Erza. Instead, it was perfectly intact, so Kira decided to rest immediately after the battle. Strangely enough, he felt so comfortable after a rest, especially on his pillow, which was so soft and springy. 

Only, Kira realized that it wasn't a pillow at all. 

"....." 

"Have you woken up?" 

Watching Kira, who woke up from his sleep on her lap, Erza asked softly. 

---

"That's the fifth servant, and probably, he won't have another servant so soon."
