Makarov saw Natsu lying dead and thought to himself, "If it were Natsu, with his potential, he might be able to stop Laxus."
"Wake up! Wake up!"
So he went over, grabbed Natsu's shoulders, and shook him hard for ten minutes until he finally woke Natsu up.
Natsu, feeling dizzy, said, "If you keep shaking me, my neck is going to break."
"Alright, enough talk, go stop that bastard Laxus!"
"Laxus, huh? I'm fired up!"
However, the two were soon dumbfounded, as Natsu was also unable to get out.
Natsu was shocked: "Am I already eighty years old?"
On the other side, Arzak encountered Jade and Troy. Before they could even greet each other, dark characters rose from the ground, forming an invisible wall, indicating that the strongest could leave.
Jade asked in confusion, "What do you mean? You want us to kill each other?"
Alzak's face was grim. He couldn't care less about anything else; he had to save his wife.
Suddenly, the void text reappeared: Jade vs. Troy vs. Alzak, Alzak wins!
It wasn't just the three of them; almost all the Fairy Tail members who were besieged started fighting each other. They were fighting not only to save Erza and the others, or to defeat Laxus, but also because they wanted to compete with their comrades.
The people in the surrounding town were all helpless to see the Fairy Tail members fighting so fiercely and destroying buildings.
Although I'm used to their noise, today is the Magical Parade, and they're such a reckless bunch.
Marx vs. Valencia, Valencia wins!
Bijida vs. Nabu, Nabu is the winner!
...
Acnologia and Irene had just arrived in Magnolia Town when they stopped, looking at the dark text ahead.
"Oh, dark script covering the entire town of Magnolia, what a grand scheme." Eileen reached out and pressed her hand against the barrier of dark script, sensing its exact extent.
Acnologia said, "It should be the Dark Freed Magic of the Thunder Gods, that is, Laxus's underlings."
"Is it that rebellious blond guy?"
Eileen asked, puzzled, "What is he doing?"
Acnologia chuckled lightly: "Who knows? Maybe it's to prove that he's the strongest in the guild."
"interesting."
Eileen smiled slightly, extended her magic wand and pointed it into the air. Crimson characters rose up, rewriting the spell, rendering all the rules ineffective against the two of them.
Acnologia was somewhat surprised: "You can do this too?"
"Hey, stop looking down on me. Four hundred years is not a time I wasted."
She can modify these techniques for young children however she wants; just because she doesn't use them normally doesn't mean she can't.
As the two continued their journey, they witnessed numerous battles between members of Fairy Tail. One particularly neurotic individual even attacked Irene before being knocked unconscious by a magic wand.
They quickly arrived at the Fairy Tail guild, where Natsu and Makarov were overjoyed to see them: "You're back!"
Acnologia joked, "We've only been gone a few days, is the guild already disbanding?"
Natsu yelled angrily, "It's all that Laxus guy's fault! He made us kill each other, and that Freed's spell trapped me!"
As one of the guild's top combatants, he was trapped here, which was truly unacceptable.
Acnologia walked onto the stage and looked at Erza, who had turned into a stone statue. He felt a surge of anger. How could she have turned her precious daughter into this? It was outrageous.
Eileen touched the petrified Erza and said with a smile, "You can't be fierce when you turn into stone."
"And Lucy... her breasts are so hard... she's not cute anymore..."
Makarov was exasperated; he was still concerned about this at a time like this.
He said, "I have already had someone inform Ms. Porusica to prepare the antidote, and the petrification should be lifted soon."
Eileen smiled and said, "There's no need for such trouble. Petrification is still magic after all. The reason they can be petrified is ultimately because their magic power is too weak."
Makarov was startled: "You mean?"
Thump!
Eileen tapped the ground lightly with her magic wand, and red magic enveloped the petrified crowd: "Add Magic!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of cracking sounds rang out, and to everyone's astonishment, Erza and the others broke free from the rocks.
Natsu and Happy were overjoyed: "Lucy and Erza have been resurrected!"
"Well done, Eileen!"
Erza stretched her stiff body and beamed with joy: "I'm back to normal?"
"I did it myself, how could I possibly fail?"
Eileen suddenly chuckled, "Little Erza actually got petrified, she's really too weak."
Erza, too lazy to argue with her at this point, immediately said, "I'll go stop Laxus!"
Makarov raised his hand to stop them: "Have Valen use telepathy to notify everyone to stop fighting. Now that you've recovered, there's no need for us to continue this pointless game."
Acnologia suddenly said, "It's worth a try. I'm sure you'd like to see what Laxus is really thinking. This is a good opportunity."
"I believe Laxus will make the right choice."
Natsu agreed, "I haven't even made a move yet, let me go and wake Laxus up!"
Irene covered her mouth and chuckled, "Little Natsu, stop bragging. That blond brat is much stronger than you."
She knew from the first time she met Laxus that he was one of the strongest in the guild, probably even stronger than Makarov.
Others echoed this sentiment, suggesting that whether Laxus was an ally or an enemy was entirely up to him.
Seeing the eager expressions on everyone's faces, Makarov remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "Alright!"
He firmly believed that Laxus was definitely not a hopeless person.
Eileen walked to the door, tapped her magic wand lightly, rewrote the spell, the dark text turned crimson, and the restrictions were lifted.
Natsu exclaimed in delight, "Eileen, you're amazing!"
The others were also shocked. Eileen really knows everything. She's invincible in support, knows word magic, and I heard she can even beat the Iron Dragon Gajeel in melee combat. She's really amazing.
"Oh, not at all, it's not as strong as you think!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Eileen humbly waved her hand. If it weren't for her smug expression, she would have been even more likable.
"President, I'll go help!"
Erza said seriously that even she was not confident of defeating Laxus, but now only she could do it.
Natsu yelled, "I'll defeat Laxus! You're not allowed to take it from me!"
With that, he dashed off.
Eileen laughed and said, "That's so impulsive. You might get a good beating."
Acnologia looked towards a corner: "Gajeel, go help Natsu. The two of you might be able to defeat Laxus."
Gajeel?
Everyone was shocked; they hadn't even noticed that someone was hiding there.
Gajeel stepped forward, his expression arrogant, and said coldly, "I won't help that stinky fire dragon."
Eileen narrowed her eyes slightly: "Oh, are you refusing?"
Gajeel subconsciously touched his head. He had been beaten up by Irene when he tried to kidnap Lucy, and now he had developed a psychological trauma from her.
Seeing Erin's increasingly dangerous expression, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay! I'll go!"
With that, he dashed out in a flash.
Seeing Gajeel go to help, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Two mages with S-rank strength should be able to suppress Laxus, right?
