Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash - Chapter 432
“Hey, it turned into stone, what is that?”
“How strange.”
“Is it part of the show?”
The audience was talking a lot, but they did not immediately realize that this was an accident.
Fairy Tail has always done things in a messy way, turning itself or its companions into stone or something like that, and it’s possible for them to put it on display.
But as the host, Marcus knew that this was Aba Green’s magic. Looking at her, it seemed that she was not joking.
There’s probably going to be a big fuss in the guild later! Marcus had such an intuition, so he immediately shouted to the audience: “Citizens, please evacuate immediately!”
He even used sand magic to make guiding arrows to warn everyone to leave quickly.
Seeing how solemn he was, the ordinary people in the audience began to flee in panic.
Although I don’t know what’s going on, it seems very dangerous. Maybe that woman is here to carry out a terrorist attack.
There was a commotion under the stage. Makarov couldn’t sit still, jumped up and shouted towards the stage: “Aba Green, what are you going to do? Do you want to ruin the festival?”
“Just think of it as a sideshow for the festival.”
The folding fan in Abby Green’s hand closed with a snap, and with a slight lift of her right hand, the curtain behind burst into flames.
As the curtain quickly burned down, five stone statues were revealed in front of everyone: Kana, Juvia, Lebby, Bisca, and… Erza.
Everyone had just seen the whole process of Lucy being turned into a stone statue, so they immediately realized that these stone statues were themselves.
All the contestants of Miss Fairy Tail, except Mira who jumped off the stage early, everyone else in the lounge were turned into stone statues by Abba Green.
Mira covered her mouth: “How could…”
Rhodes also looked shocked. Could Erza not even be able to withstand that petrification magic?
“What are you doing? Restore them to their original state immediately!” Makarov’s tone was very stern, which probably went beyond the scope of ordinary joking.
A golden thunder light landed in the center of the stage with a roar.
Freed and Bigusro appeared next to Abby Green, while Laxus stood in front of the three of them wearing a windbreaker and holding his arms.
“Hey, Fairy Tail guys, the festival has just begun!” Laxus greeted everyone in a frivolous tone.
Everyone’s faces were full of surprise and confusion:
Could it be that Laxus led the Thunder Gods to sneak into the guild’s backstage, attacked the resting contestants, and turned them into stone statues?
The current scene looks like this, and it is difficult for everyone to digest such information for a while.
In everyone’s opinion, although Laxus is a little rebellious and has a bad mouth, he is still a member of the guild and the grandson of the president. No matter what, he will never do such a thing to harm his companions.
what is going on?
Laxus admired everyone’s expressions, put on a triumphant smile, and said to Makarov: “Let’s play a game, old man!”
“Stop being ridiculous, Laxus!” Makarov yelled angrily, “Even if it’s just a joke, it’s too much. Restore them to their original state immediately!”
A golden lightning struck the body of Lucy’s stone statue and fell into pieces, breaking a piece of the stage floor amid everyone’s anxious expressions.
“I’m not kidding, old man!” Laxus put his hand on the shoulder of Lucy’s stone statue,
“These women are all my hostages now. If anyone violates the rules of the game, I will smash them all!”
With the speed of lightning magic, unless Laxus is expected to attack whom at what time, no one can stop him from breaking any stone statue at such a close distance.
Makarov said solemnly: “What exactly do you want to do?”
Laxus opened his arms: “It’s very simple. Decide who is the strongest person in Fairy Tail. From now on, I will launch a battle for the strongest in Fairy Tail, and the person left to the end will be the winner!”
“Just what I want!” Before anyone else could react, Natsu was the first to jump out and respond to Laxus’s declaration of war.
He took a big step and rushed towards Laxus: “Watch the move, Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist!”
“I appreciate your eagerness to try…” Laxus easily caught Natsu’s fist, “but I don’t like your unvarnished personality.”
He threw Natsu away and released powerful lightning from his hand, covering Natsu’s whole body.
“Wow…” Natsu rushed over and flew back, face down on the ground, black smoke emitting from his body.
“Natsu!” Habi was so concerned that he rushed over to check.
Fortunately, it seemed like he just received a normal beating, nothing serious.
“Impatient guy.” Abby Green said with a smile.
“In short, if we want to restore these girls to their original state, we have to defeat us. The time limit is three hours. If we can’t do it, they… will turn into sand.”
Everyone was in disbelief: “What did you say?!”
“Even if you want to engage in the strongest battle, you don’t have to go to this point, right?”
“Are you serious?!”
No one answered. Fried just stepped forward and continued to add the rules: “The battle scope is the entire city. As long as we can be found, the battle can begin immediately.”
Bigusro stuck out his tongue and smiled strangely: “There are only 4 of us, but there are nearly 100 of you. The battle situation is not good for us, hahahaha!”
“unfavorable!”
“unfavorable!”
The five barrel-shaped puppets floating around him chirped and repeated his tail sound.
At this time, the black fairy tail emblem on Bigusro’s tongue seemed a bit dazzling.
After the three Thunder Gods finished what they had to say, they retreated behind Laxus and left from the back of the guild.
“What a joke!” Makarov wanted to transform into a giant to stop them.
But Laxus put lightning in his hand on Lucy’s neck: “Don’t be impatient, old man, I haven’t finished my words yet.”
In fact, not only Makarov wanted to take action, but Arzak’s gun was already pointed at Laxus, and many people were ready to cast magic at any time.
It’s just that everyone was afraid of hurting the girls who turned into stone statues on the stage, so they didn’t dare to act rashly.
Rhode’s brows were almost twisted into knots. He couldn’t understand what Laxus was going to do.
If you want to hold a strongest battle, just say it directly. As long as you bring it up, there will be many people who will respond to so many warmongers in the guild.
If he really wanted to fight for the title of the strongest in the guild, he could just fight with the S-class players or challenge the president directly.
Why did he go to such great lengths to capture hostages and play a battle royale game?
Worried that someone would not show how strong he was if he did not give his all?
Rhode stared at Laxus’ eyes, trying to see if this man really did not care about his companions’ lives, or if he was just using this as a threat, and would not care even if no one could defeat him.
But no matter which one it was, things had come to this point, and everyone was already indignant, and in the end it was definitely not something that could be covered up by saying “I was wrong” or “I was kidding”.
The incident with Levi a few days ago, plus this incident today, he was almost forcing the president to expel him from the guild.
Rhode really couldn’t figure out what the logic was for Laxus to do this, and what benefit would it bring to him.
At this time, Laxus also stared at him.
Since the last confrontation at the construction site, Laxus had taken this man to heart, believing that he was the one who inherited the old man’s will and way of doing things.
Not only that, he also inherited the title of the first-generation president, the fairy military advisor, and led a group of “rabble” to defeat the ten holy magicians.
In addition, according to Fried’s investigation, this person has been reading non-stop since joining the guild, and has been studying all kinds of knowledge tirelessly, as if he wants to inherit the profound knowledge of the second-generation president.
——Fried thought that Rhodes was a good person at the beginning, and wanted to pull him into the Thunder God group, so he did some investigation.
The name and strategy of the first generation, the knowledge of the second generation, the will of the third generation…
Laxus believes that if there is anyone in the guild who may become the next president, it must be this person.
The only thing Rhodes lacks may be qualifications and strength.
Therefore, this person will be the biggest obstacle for him to become the president of the guild, and he must be defeated completely!
Laxus stared at Rhodes. In his rough perception, Rhodes’ magic power was not strong. It could only barely meet the minimum standard of S-level. Such a person…
“Fairy military advisor, right? In the next game, just use your wisdom and command your “soldiers” to defeat me! I will let you know how weak your power is in front of me!”
He swept his eyes over those indignant people and sneered: “But I remind you in advance that such trash is useless even if there are not only 100, but also 1,000 of them!”
“Laxus bastard!”
“Who are you calling trash!”
A correct version in 16-9-1 book-1 bar!
“Let them go, I’ll show you some power now!”
Laxus ignored their shouting, and suddenly a strong light came out of his hand, as if he had thrown a flash bomb.
The whole guild was filled with dazzling white light. At this time, the light shot out from the doors and windows. Everyone present couldn’t open their eyes at all, and subconsciously blocked their hands in front of them.
Laxus’s figure turned into lightning and disappeared, leaving only one sentence: “The strongest battle of Fairy Tail begins!”
When everyone opened their eyes, Laxus was no longer on the stage, only six stone statues with different expressions remained.
The guild fell into a brief silence, and finally a warm voice broke out:
“How dare you underestimate us!”
“Want to play hide-and-seek? Coward!”
“Damn it, beat him down immediately!”
Everyone shouted to run out of the guild, but Rhodes jumped onto the stage and shouted loudly: “Everyone, don’t move, calm down and listen to me!”
“Rhodes? What else can you say at this time!”
“That’s right, find them out and beat them up first.”
“It’s just four people, there’s no need for your tactics!”
The surging crowd stopped for a moment for him, but the voices of rebuttal came one after another.
Rhode said loudly: “The more this happens, the more you have to stay calm. If you get angry now, you will only be led by Laxus and the others!
The president is here, Mira is here, and Mistgang may appear at any time. Laxus and the others are not fools. How can they directly confront the entire guild without any preparation?
There will definitely be unexpected traps outside. Calm down and think about it carefully!”
“It doesn’t matter! I will save Bisca now!”
“Levy is also waiting for us to save her!”
“Don’t talk so easily, if Mira also turned into a stone statue, can you still be so calm?”
“You, don’t really think of us as your soldiers!”
As the saying goes, the more concerned you are about the safety of the girls on the stage, the less you can think calmly.
If Laxus’s goal is to anger the members of the guild, then his plan is very successful. Many people can no longer listen to what Rhode is saying.
Rhode asked himself, if Mira really turned into a stone statue now, she might be broken or turned into dust at any time, and he was not sure what he would do now.
And the few words Laxus said before he left were also very powerful. I don’t know if he really wanted Rhode to lead people to fight in a group, or if he was intentionally using words to divide them.
Anyway, these guys who were full of blood and anger couldn’t care so much.
The most intense reaction was naturally Alzak, Jet and Troy. The three of them replied casually and rushed out of the guild gate without looking back.
Then most people broke out of the guild and scattered to look for the Thunder Gods and Laxus.
Whether they were concerned about the safety of the girls or couldn’t stand Laxus’s ridicule, they acted according to their first thoughts as usual.
The only ones left in the guild were the president, Mira, Elfman, Gray, Wallian, Lacy, and a dozen others who were either calm enough or trusted Rhode enough.
In addition, Natsu had just been knocked down by Laxus and hadn’t gotten up yet, and Happy was looking after him.
Gajeel was crunching on the iron cutlery again, looking like he had nothing to do with it.
Rhode checked the status of the girls on the stage. The six of them were really as cold as stone, and it was impossible to tell that they had once been living people.
He asked, “President, is there no way to remove the petrification magic?”
“I can’t. I’m afraid that only Alba Green herself can remove it in the guild… and maybe Polyusica has a medicine to remove petrification.”
Mira bit her lip and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, if I was also in the backstage at that time…”
“If you were also in the backstage, I’m afraid there would be an extra stone statue here.”
Rod signaled that she didn’t have to feel guilty about it, “Even Erza was hit, you might not be able to escape.
Alba Green probably took advantage of their mentality of not deliberately guarding against their companions, so that the sneak attack was successful. You can see from their surprised expressions.”
Mira remained silent. She really wouldn’t deliberately guard against Alba Green, even though she knew that her eyes could use petrification magic.
She actually took advantage of the trust between companions…
I don’t know whether to say that the person who came up with this plan is despicable or that he knows Fairy Tail too well.
Anyway, it must not be easily forgiven.
“That’s right, this is certainly not your responsibility, Mira, but my responsibility!” Makarov walked towards the door angrily, regretting that he didn’t catch up with Laxus to punish him last time.
“You go out of the city and ask Polyusica if there is any medicine to remove the petrification. I will go to teach Laxus a lesson now. This time I will give him the heaviest punishment and will never let him off easily!”
The old man strode forward, his serious expression, the magic power dissipated by anger, and the slightly fluttering coat made him look so imposing.
The majesty of being one of the ten holy wizards was fully revealed.
However, the handsome scene stopped abruptly when he walked to the door.
Because he hit an invisible wall with a bang, just like the whole person was stuck to the glass wall, and his cheeks were squeezed flat.
“What’s the matter?” Makarov supported the invisible wall in front of him with both hands, and he couldn’t push it at all with all his strength.
The people who stayed in the guild showed surprised expressions: “President? What’s wrong with you?”
“Something is blocking me!” Makarov tried again, but couldn’t move forward.
“Are you kidding? Didn’t everyone just run out casually just now?”
Lines of dark purple words with strange patterns suddenly appeared in the air: “Stone statues and people over 80 years old are prohibited from entering.”
“Ritual?!”
