As this exclamation resounded throughout the guild, Laxus's face changed drastically and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Almost in an instant, he thought of all the things that were wrong with Freed today, and his eyes froze.
Boom! Thunder exploded.
Without any hesitation, Laxus raised his hand and threw a bolt of lightning with a destructive aura at "Freed".
At the same time, he retreated violently, grabbed Bickslow and Evergreen who had not yet reacted, and quickly distanced himself from "Freed".
However, "Freed" faced this hasty attack without any panic. He condensed the magic power in his hands and lightly struck the lightning.
Bang!
This bolt of lightning was bounced off by him as easily as swatting a fly, and landed on the wall behind him, exploding a big hole.
Everyone under the stage was stunned by the successive changes, looking at each other as if they were completely confused.
"What's going on? Why does Blanc say he is Freed, then what is Freed above?"
Laxus, who had distanced himself and settled down, stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him, his face so gloomy that it almost dripped water.
Thinking about it carefully, "Freed" has indeed looked weird since meeting them early this morning.
Today he seemed too taciturn, even a little numb, but out of trust in him, Laxus did not think too deeply.
Because Laxus knows very well that Freed's heart has been wavering. He does not really support this radical approach, and deep down he still has the weak idea of treating the guys in the guild as his companions.
Therefore, since he expressed his intention to launch a civil war, Freed's attitude has actually gradually become silent.
Although Laxus has always criticized Freed's weak mentality, this does not affect the trust between them.
I didn't expect that this guy Blanc would take advantage of me.
At this moment, "Blanc" in the audience rushed to the stage angrily, but was blocked by Jutsu Shiki. He could only helplessly and furiously hammer the transparent magic wall, and yelled at the stage:
"Blanc! You are so despicable! You even resorted to such little tricks."
"Freed" on the stage seemed to have heard something shameless. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and his whole face instantly drooped.
"How can you, a guy who has laid traps all over the town in advance to trick people, have the nerve to talk to me?"
Before they finished speaking, the figures of the two people rippled like water waves. The long dark green hair on the stage faded to black, while the black hair under the stage was dyed dark green inch by inch.
It was as if the two of them had swapped places and both returned to their original appearance.
Natsu came close to Freed and sniffed hard, with a shocked look on his face. "It really smells like Freed! Everyone's smells are so mixed together that it's really hard to tell them apart unless you get close."
The corner of Gray's mouth twitched crazily. "... So from the very beginning, it was Freed who was fast asleep in the guild? And the real Blanc..."
He looked at the figure on the stage who couldn't help but start snickering as if the prank had succeeded. "What on earth is going on?"
On the stage, Laxus clenched his teeth tightly, making a squeaking sound, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He couldn't believe that he was being fooled around by this guy Blanc.
"It's over! It's over!"
The obviously unfavorable situation caused the five puppets around Bickslow to huddle together and tremble.
"Shut up!"
Bickslow slapped these guys who were disrupting the morale of the army behind him, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that 'it's really over now'.
Evergreen's fingers holding Folding Fan turned slightly white, but her eyes glanced at the stone statue on the stage, and her confidence instantly increased.
She took a deep breath, spread out Folding Fan and held it in front of her chest, pushed up her glasses fiercely, and pointed the fan tip directly at Blanc:
"Bai, Blanc! Although I don't know how you disguised yourself as Freed and sneaked into our side..."
"But I'm warning you, don't act rashly! My Petrification Eye can be controlled remotely! As long as I look at it, all those stone statues will turn into pieces!!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately exploded.
"Despicable!!"
"How dare you use hostages as a shield!"
Everyone in the audience had different expressions, some were really angry, some were still confused, and some looked thoughtful.
Facing the threat from Evergreen, Blanc's expression also became ugly.
He frowned slightly, as if he was afraid of irritating the other person. He raised his hands to indicate that he would not move, and even backed away slightly with some fear. He gritted his teeth, with an expression of unwillingness and anger on his face:
"Damn it, I didn't expect you to have this trick... It's so despicable!"
Seeing that Blanc, who was as strong as him, also showed a deflated expression, Evergreen's tense shoulders finally relaxed and he couldn't help but smile triumphantly:
"Hmph, hum! It's good to know how powerful it is!"
However, the face of Laxus on the side was extremely ugly. He had been consciously aware of it since Blanc appeared. Everything was wrong, and he was so careless that he didn't notice it.
He raised his hand without saying a word.
Thunder and lightning condensed and expanded in his palm, forming a ball of thunder, which was then swung out directly and blasted towards the row of stone statues behind the stage.
"Laxus!! Are you crazy!?"
"Stop--!!"
Guild Master's roar was out of control in an instant, and his eyes were about to burst.
He couldn't believe how Laxus could be so cruel and actually wanted to kill his petrified companions.
Even Evergreen and Bickslow were completely stunned and shouted with pale faces, "Laxus!?"
Everyone's hearts felt like they were on a roller coaster at this moment, their throats were raised instantly, and even Blanc had a flash of astonishment in his eyes.
Boom--!
The lightning hit the target without any suspense. After the collision, the thunderball quickly grew in size and enveloped the entire row of stone statues.
"Laxus--!!" The roars of the people in the audience almost reached the sky.
However, this roar soon stopped, and the whole place fell into silence.
I saw that the stone statues hit by the thunderball did not break into gravel as everyone imagined. They shook violently in the lightning, and then began to become blurry and distorted like a picture with poor signal.
When the thunder light dissipated, what stood on the stage was no longer the stone statues of Girl, but six wooden figures that had been chopped black and were still smoking.
The only stone statue of Lucy that was still intact on the stage seemed to be too lazy to be installed, and it also turned back into wood.
"How could..." Evergreen looked blankly at the row of Wooden Human, "The stone statues... are all fake?"
"Where did the real person go!?" Bickslow exclaimed.
Laxus ignored the two people's questions and just stared at the Blanc not far away who had resumed his leisurely posture, gritted his teeth and said:
"What a clumsy little trick, do you think you can fool me a second time!?"
Blanc shrugged and sighed regretfully, "I wanted to tease you a little longer."
