Chapter 278: Counterattack and Shenming Temple (3rd update)
"Abba Green, what are you going to do? Why don't you remove the magic and restore them to their original state!"
President Makarov jumped on the table, his beard exploding with anger.
But Abby Green covered her mouth with her fan and said with a smile:
"President, I'm just adding some sideshows to the festival."
"Fairy Tail guys, the festival officially begins now!"
A bolt of lightning fell on the stage, and Laxus appeared on stage wearing a coat.
Next to the pillar next to the guild hall, the remaining two members of the Thunder Gods, Freed and Bigusro, also came out.
"Let's have some fun, old man!"
"Laxus, you brat, stop messing around with me and restore them to their original state immediately."
Makarov's angry body couldn't help but grow bigger.
Laxus immediately struck a bolt of lightning next to the petrified Lucy.
"Old man, I advise you not to do anything, they are all my hostages now.
In this way, let's play a game, Fairy Tail's Strongest Battle. The rule is to fight until the end to see who is the strongest. The scope is the entire Magnolia City and the time is three hours.
If there is no winner in three hours, then they will all be turned into powder! "
"ah!"
However, just as Laxus finished speaking, Abby Green, who was standing over there, screamed and was suddenly wrapped around her feet by a cat's tail and pulled into the ground.
Before anyone could realize what was going on, the petrified female wizards such as Lucy and Erza instantly lifted the magic and returned to normal.
Then George pulled the stunned Abby Green up from a table.
"Fairy Tail's strongest battle is interesting, but Laxus, I don't think it should be conducted in such a hostage-threatening way."
It turned out that the moment Lucy was petrified, George enveloped the hall with his mental power and discovered Laxus and two others hiding, as well as Erza and others who had been petrified behind them.
Guessing that Laxus must be trying to cause trouble, he sent a message to Gray next to him and asked him to use ice magic to quickly form a thin layer of ice on the entire floor of the guild hall.
Then he used mirror magic to enter the mirror world.
When Laxus appeared there just now, George had already arrived at the feet of Abba Green in the mirror world.
Then a tail dragged Abby Green into the mirror world, and before Abby Green could realize what was going on, she was stunned with an electric shock.
After using the petrification magic of Abba Green, it will not remain petrified like the basilisk, and it needs to be controlled and maintained by yourself.
Therefore, she can remotely remove it, and she can remotely crush the petrified person at any time.
Similarly, if you knock it out and lose control, the petrification magic will be automatically released.
To be honest, this ability is very powerful, especially for enemies who don't know the ability of their eyes. It is easy to successfully sneak attack.
Even a mage of Erza's level was caught without warning.
"Well done, George!"
Seeing that all the petrification magic was lifted and Lucy and others were saved, everyone was relieved.
Laxus, Freed, and Bigusro frowned, and their plans were disrupted.
Without hostages, it would be difficult for the guild's magicians to fight with all their might.
"Laxus is right, this cat is indeed a big trouble!"
"Laxus, that's all for today. You and the Thunder Gods will apologize to everyone, and then accept the harshest punishment until they forgive you!"
Makarov returned to his normal size, pointed at Laxus and roared.
Laxus, on the other hand, burst into laughter as his veins popped out.
"It seems that I still underestimated you. If that's the case, let's play big!"
He stretched out his hand and pointed towards the sky, and a bolt of lightning flew directly through the guild and flew over the entire city. The thunderballs that had been floating over the city were activated:
"I have opened the Palace of Divine Sound, and everyone in the entire city will be my hostage. If you don't continue this game, then you will be destroyed together with the entire city!"
"Laxus, is it necessary to do this?"
There was a hesitant look on Freed's face.
He knew Laxus very well and knew that Laxus loved the guild deeply in his heart and just wanted to prove himself and then get the position of guild leader to make the guild better.
But activating the Temple of God and taking ordinary people as hostages seemed a bit excessive. If something went wrong, he was worried that Laxus would regret it.
"Ferid, this is already a war. It will not end until either side is completely destroyed. If you can't follow me, you will disappear. My Fairy Tail does not need weak cowards!"
Laxus' whole body was shrouded in thunder and lightning, and his mind was gradually leaving him.
Freed sighed and saluted Laksa:
"Whatever you decide, we will follow you."
"House of Gods, Laxus, are you crazy?"
When Makarov heard that Laxus actually activated the Temple of Divine Calling, his expression suddenly changed. Veins popped up on his face. He was obviously extremely angry.
George was somewhat curious and asked Mirajane, who had recovered and walked over:
"What is the Divine Call Palace?"
Being able to hold an entire city hostage and making Makarov so fearful is obviously not an ordinary magic.
Mirajane explained with a solemn expression:
"The Divine Hall is a forbidden thunder magic. By injecting lightning into the three hundred magic crystals made in advance and then activating them with a special magic array, it can instantly burst out with terrible power to destroy a town.
And before it is activated, it cannot be destroyed. Every time a magic crystal is destroyed, the same lightning will backfire on the attacker's body."
"That's really troublesome."
George touched his beard.
"Old man, I'm not crazy. I do this for the good of the guild, just like you drove your father away.
Do you want to end this game?
It's simple. Give me the position of president now.
After I become the president, I will change this hopelessly cowardly guild and make it the strongest guild, a guild that no one dares to provoke again!"
The aura of Laxus, a top S-class wizard, burst out, pressing everyone's chest tightness.
Makarov was so angry that his whole body trembled:
"Impossible, Laxus, I will never pass the position of president to you even if I die!"
"In that case, let's start the game"
Laxus's expression became more ferocious when he heard this.
Just when he was about to leave here and start the next plan, George suddenly interrupted him:
"Wait, Laxus, there is actually one thing you may not know. Your father Ivan was expelled from the guild because he betrayed the guild and secretly contacted the wizards of the Dark Guild.
The president didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would be sad."
At this time, of course, we should see if we can resolve the misunderstanding first. If we really can't fight, it's not too late.
