Fairy Tail: I Don’t Want to Be the President

Chapter 429 Fairy Tail’s Strongest Battle?

"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. They might turn themselves or their companions into stone or something like that, and they might 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: "Abba 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 Abbagelin, 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 dolls floating around him chirped and repeated his final notes.

At this time, the black Fairy Tail crest on Bigusro's tongue seemed a bit dazzling.

After the three members of the Thunder Gods said what they had to say, they retreated behind Laxus and left from behind the guild.

"What a joke!" Makarov wanted to transform into a giant to stop them.

But Lagerthas put the lightning in his hand on Lucy's neck: "Don't be impatient, old man, I haven't finished speaking yet."

In fact, it is not only Makarov who wants to take action, Alzac's gun is already pointed at Laxus, and many people are always ready to use magic.

It's just that everyone is afraid of hurting the girls who turned into stone statues on the stage, so they don't dare to act rashly.

Rhodes' brows were furrowed into knots. He couldn't understand what Laxus was going to do.

If you want to organize the strongest battle, just say it directly. As long as you bring it up, there are so many militants in the guild, and many, many people will definitely respond.

If he really wants to compete for the title of being the strongest guild, then he can fight with S-class people, or directly challenge the president.

What's the point of going through all the trouble to capture hostages and play a battle royale game?

Are you worried that someone won't be able to show how strong he is if he doesn't use his full strength?

Rhodes stared closely into Laxus's eyes, trying to see whether this man really didn't care about the lives of his companions, or whether he was just using this as a threat. Even if no one could defeat him, it wouldn't matter.

It's just that no matter which way it is, when things get to this point, everyone is already filled with righteous indignation. In the end, it can't be solved by just saying "I was wrong" or "I was kidding".

What happened with Lebby a few days ago, plus today's incident, he was almost forcing the president to expel him from the guild.

Rhodes really couldn't figure out what the logic behind Laxus' doing this was, and what benefit it would have to him.

At this time Laxus also stared at him.

Since the last confrontation at the construction site, Laxus has taken this man seriously and believed that he was the one who inherited the old man's will and way of doing things.

Not only that, he also inherited the name of the first generation president, the goblin strategist, and led a group of 'rabble' to defeat the ten holy magisters.

In addition, according to Fried's investigation, this man has been reading non-stop since he joined the guild, and is diligently learning all kinds of knowledge, as if he wants to inherit the profound knowledge of the second generation guild president. - Fried initially thought that Rhodes was a good person and wanted to bring him into the Thunder Gods, so he did some research.

The name and strategy of the first generation, the knowledge of the second generation, the will of the third generation...

Laxus believed that if there was anyone in the guild who could become the next president, it would be this person.

The only thing Rhodes lacks may be qualifications and strength.

Therefore, this person will be his biggest obstacle to becoming the guild president, and he must be defeated completely!

Lagasus stared at Rhodes. From his rough perception, Rhodes' magic power was not strong, and he could only barely reach the minimum standard of S-level. Such a person...

"Fairy strategist, right? Use your resourcefulness in the next game and command your 'soldiers' to defeat me! I will let you know how weak your power is in front of me!"

He glanced at the aggrieved people and said mockingly: "But let me remind you in advance, don't say 100 of those trash, even 1,000 of them are useless!"

"Lagerthas bastard!"

"Who are you calling a loser?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Let them go, now let me show you how powerful they are!"

Laxus ignored their cries, and a bright light suddenly emitted from his hand, as if he had dropped a flashbang.

The entire guild was filled with dazzling white light. At this time, the light was emitted from the doors and windows. Everyone present could not open their eyes at all and subconsciously covered their hands in front of their faces.

Laxus' 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, leaving only six stone statues with different expressions.

There was a brief silence in the guild, and finally a passionate voice broke out:

"How dare you underestimate us!"

"Want to play hide and seek? You coward!"

"Damn it, beat him down right now!"

Everyone yelled and wanted to run outside the guild, but Rhodes jumped on the stage and shouted: "No one is allowed to move, calm down and listen to me!"

"Rhode? What else is there to say at this time!"

"That's right, find them first and beat them up first."

"It's just four people, no need for your tactics!"

The turbulent crowd stopped for a moment for him, but rebuttal voices came one after another.

Rhodes 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!

Now that the president is here, Mira is here, Mist Gang may appear at any time. Laxus and the others were not fools, how could they directly confront the entire guild without any preparation?

There will definitely be unexpected traps outside. Calm down and think about it! "

"It doesn't matter! I want to save Bisca now!"

"Lebby is also waiting for us to rescue!"

"Don't talk so easily, you guy. If Mira turns into a stone statue, can you still be so calm?"

"You guy, don't really think of us as your soldiers!"

As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. The more concerned about the safety of the girls on the stage, the less able they are to think calmly.

If Lagertha's purpose was to anger the members of the guild, then his plan was successful, and many people could no longer listen to what Rhodes was saying.

Rhodes asked himself, if Mira really turned into a stone statue now, and could be broken into pieces or turned into sand at any time, he was not sure what would happen to him now.

Moreover, the few words Lagasus said before leaving were also very powerful. I don't know if he really wanted Rhodes to lead people to fight in a group, or if he was deliberately using words to divide them.

Anyway, these guys who are so passionate and angry can no longer care about that much.

Naturally, the ones who reacted the most violently were Alzac, Jett, and Troy. The three of them replied casually and rushed out of the guild gate without looking back.

Immediately afterwards, most people broke out of the guild and scattered in search of the Thunder Gods and Laxus.

Whether they were concerned about the safety of the girls or they couldn't stand Laxus's ridicule, in the end they acted exactly as usual and acted on their first thought.

The only people left in the guild were the president, Mira, Elfman, Gray, Wo Lian, Lucky and a dozen or so people who were calm enough or trusted Rhodes enough.

In addition, Natsu had just been knocked down by Laxus's move and before he could get up, Happy was looking after him.

Gajeel was gnawing at the iron tableware again, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Rhodes checked the status of the girls on the stage. The six of them were as cold as stones, and there was no trace of them being alive.

He asked: "President, is there no way to remove the petrification magic?"

"I can't help it. I'm afraid only Abaglin herself in the guild can remove it...and there might be a medicine to remove petrification from Porlyusica."

Mira bit her lip and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if I was also backstage at that time..."

"If you are also in the background, I'm afraid there will be an extra stone statue here."

Rhodes signaled that she didn't have to feel guilty about this, "Even Erza has been tricked, and you may not be immune.

Abba Green probably took advantage of their mentality of not being wary of their companions to successfully attack. You can tell by looking at their surprised expressions. "

Mira was silent. She really wouldn't go out of her way to be wary of Abba Green, even though she knew her eyes could use petrification magic.

Actually taking advantage of the trust between companions...

The person who came up with this plan didn't know whether to say he was despicable or that he knew Fairy Tail too well.

Anyway, never forgive easily.

"Yes, of course this is not your responsibility Mira, but mine!" Makarov walked towards the door angrily, regretting that he did not catch up with Laxus to punish him last time.

"You guys go out of the city and go to Porlyusica to ask if there is any medicine to remove petrification. I will teach Laxus a lesson now. This time I will give him the heaviest punishment and I will never let him off lightly! "

The old man strode forward with rapid strides. His serious expression, the magic power dissipated due to anger, and the slightly fluttering coat made him so imposing.

The majesty of being one of the Ten Holy Wizards is fully revealed.

However, the handsome scene ended abruptly when he walked to the door.

Because he hit an invisible wall with a bang, as if his whole body was pressed against a glass wall, and his cheeks were squashed.

"What's going on?" Makarov held the invisible wall in front of him with both hands, but he couldn't push it even even with all his strength.

People staying in the guild showed surprised expressions: "Guild President? What's wrong with you?"

"There's something blocking me!" Makarov tried again, but was unable to move forward.

"Are you kidding? Didn't everyone just run out casually?"

Lines of dark purple text with strange patterns suddenly appeared in the air: "Stone statues and people over 80 years old are prohibited from entering or exiting."

"Spell?!"
