How I Became the Strongest Sovereign

I ran through the forest, leaping from tree to tree. I had exactly 11 Days till the raid. I had to get much stronger in that time period. 

I had already bid the others goodbye and told them about the A rank Hunter who would be training them for a couple days and bestow them with some experience. 

I also made sure to give the Black rings to Malia and Jace. I had 1 ring left but I didn't have rings for the others, it would look odd if Allefin, Sara and Naz found out they wouldn't be getting one, so I told them to keep it a secret.

Finally, reaching an empty field, I decided to sit by a boulder.

Now that that was done I had to have clear goals that I wanted to achieve in this 2 week training period.

'I've almost increased the secondary mana pool to stage 3; Now you just have to reach Level 120 and get to Mana pool Stage 7. Then finally, I'll be able to get my own body.' Voad spoke.

'What? How?'

'Check the spells you learned from bonding with me.'

'Skill Menu open.'

[The Dragon of Flames, Voadhailis (Bond) features:]

[Cambio Forma - (Requirement: Level 80)]

[Control Delegation - (No requirement)]

[Forma del Drago - (Requirement: Level 100, Mana Pool Stage 7 + Secondary Mana Pool Stage 2)]

[Dragon Manifestation - (Requirement: Level 120, Mana Pool Stage 7 + Secondary Mana Pool Stage 3)]

[???]

[???]

'Oh I see. You mean the Dragon Manifestation Spell.'

'Yes. If you cast that spell, the secondary mana pool that's in your body will separate from you and my consciousness will also exit your body for a while. I don't know much about this spell so we'll have to be patient and see what happens.'

'What about the 'Forma del Drago spell'?'

'It's your very own Dragon Transformation spell. Similar to 'Shackles Release'. This spell will activate your Dormant Dragon characteristics.' Voadhailis smiled.

That just got me even more intrigued. A new Powerup!

'Let's start with farming levels then.'

**

I leapt back from the powerful backlash of the Mighty A rank Wolf beast's wind attack. It was powerful enough to send me flying. I caught the ground with my feet, stopping myself from crashing into a tree.

'Lightning Aura.'

Streaks of lightning surrounded my body as I ricocheted off the trees and charged at the Wolf beast.

It roared to try and intimidate me and swiped at me with its sharp claws but I evaded then travelled up its arm.

'Indra's Spear.'

Lightning mana concentrated around my hand violently. I aimed for the Wolf beast's neck, cutting its throat. A fountain of blood poured out staining the Forest Floor; the beast stumbled a couple steps before passing out and dying.

[You have earned 30,000 Exp for killing an A rank beast!]

"AAAAOOooooooooooo!!!!" 

It seemed that more Wolven Beasts were charging this way. I could hear the trampling of their pack coming closer this way.

It seemed to be a pack of 6. There were 2 A rank, 3 B rank and 1 C rank juvenile.

The 2 at the front cast their wind magic in order to blow me backwards but I blitzed to the right, circling around them.

The dead body of their Alpha made them furious and the pack of 40 metre tall beasts charged at me in fury. 

'Voadhailis, Cambio Forma'

I gripped the 2 cold hilts of the Revised Edition, Voadhailis's Claws, strongly.

Dark cumulonimbus clouds formed and rain started to pour down from above. The clouds grumbled before Several thunderclaps resounded and shook the atmosphere as I swung down with the sword in my left hand.

'Zeus's Wrath!'

At my incantation, Thunderbolts rained down on the beasts countless times, killing them instantly. 

[You have used 3000 MP]

[You have earned 30,000 Exp for killing an A rank beast!]

[You have levelled up!]

[You are now Level 104]

[Total available Stat Points: 50]

[You have earned 30,000 Exp for killing an A rank beast!]

[You have earned 15,000 Exp for killing a B rank beast!]

[You have earned 15,000 Exp for killing a B rank beast!]

[You have earned 15,000 Exp for killing a B rank beast!]

I sighed in relief and both short swords dematerialised into specks of mana. 

This forest was different. The beasts here were much larger and the Wolf type beasts were dominating this side of the forest. Not only that, I was getting much more Exp for killing them. Normally, different variations and species of Magical beasts inhabited the forest.

It was odd.

It had now been 6 hours since I arrived and I managed to slay 2 S rank Beasts, who were both of the Wolven Type, 16 A rank Beasts and some other low rank beasts.

Altogether I was able to level up by 5 Levels, taking me to Level 104. I still had to level up 16 more times.

'How are things looking on your side?' I asked through the mental pathway. I had now begun running towards the waterfall I had found, which was rich in mana - a good spot for mediating.

'I'm almost at Stage 3. It will take me 3 days minimum to reach it though. You should continue farming those levels and put your stats into stamina and intelligence from now. 

'If we were to fight the Shadow Candidate again or someone who has great defence, we would need to rely on our spells and stamina to beat them.'

'Good Idea.' I replied before leaping up to a tree branch.

-5 Kilometres from Zeref's position, in a remote village-

"General, we have something to report." A young were woman spoke, kneeling down on one knee. Her subordinates behind her copied her, also kneeling on one knee and lowering their heads in respect to the General.

"You may speak." The woman sitting behind the desk, replied. 

"An outsider has entered our Forest's territory and is slaying the Protectors of our Forest. She seems to probably be a human. She's got black hair and she wears a black eye patch. She seems very strong and we've only seen her use Lightning attacks."

"Lightning attacks? How very interesting? Keep an eye on her movements and report to me if she gets near our village. Maybe we can turn her." The were woman in her mid 30's ordered, with an authoritative tone.

"Yes, General. We'll watch her from afar; I don't think she's noticed we've been watching her."

"You guys are dismissed."
