As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand, and ripples suddenly appeared in the air around him. A wave of magic power scattered in the guild began to fluctuate, turning into light and gathering towards his palm.
In the end, the light condensed into two cards and returned to the hands of Blanc.
On a card, a pale golden mist spreads out from the center to all directions, covering the entire card, with a line of small words printed at the bottom - THE ILLUSION.
Another card shows layers of criss-crossing corridors, with a line of small words printed at the bottom - THE MAZE.
The magic cards are used to create illusions and confuse people. As for the magic cards, the girls are thrown into the maze first to prevent their actions from making Laxus aware that something is wrong.
As the cards were withdrawn, seven figures appeared out of thin air below the stage. I don't know what they experienced in the maze, but when they saw the light again, almost everyone was confused.
As the girls landed intact, everyone in the guild, who had been depressed for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on? Was that an enemy attack just now!?"
Erza A long sword flashing with cold light instantly appeared in his hand. He glanced around with sharp eyes, exuding a fierce fighting spirit.
Mira on the side tilted his head and touched his cheek in confusion. "Oh, I just suddenly entered a strange maze with walls everywhere, how did I get out."
"That was that just now?" Cana and Bisca also put on alert postures, wondering how they could be trapped in that place inexplicably.
The worst thing was Lucy. Since she was the last one thrown into the maze, she was unable to join the others in the intricate space.
When she thought of her miserable experience of walking around in a dead end all alone in fear, she immediately looked around angrily, looking for the culprit who had harmed her.
The next second, Lucy's eyes locked on the stunned Evergreen on the stage, and he immediately pointed at him angrily and shouted:
"Evergreen! What the hell did you do? You actually threw me into such a scary place!!"
Evergreen's eyes twitched fiercely and he was too lazy to pay attention to her.
"Oh oh oh! Great! Everyone is okay!"
When Alzack, Jet, Troy and others saw this, their hanging hearts finally fell to the ground, and they cheered excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, they all turned their heads and shouted to Blanc, "Blanc, well done! I really belong to you!"
Gray breathed a sigh of relief and muttered angrily, "What~ It was a false alarm."
Gildarts found Cana in the crowd at a glance. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he was relieved. In fact, he had some suspicions after seeing Blanc appear.
However, he still has to see Cana come to fruition, so that he, as a father, can truly feel at ease.
Makarov Guild Master was overjoyed when he saw this. "Well done! Blanc!!"
Then he turned his head again and stared at Laxus on the stage with anger and relief:
"Without the hostage, it's up to you what to do, Laxus, you stinky boy!"
However, amidst the cheers, Natsu looked at the relieved others with a speechless expression:
"Are you really serious? Isn't this obviously a joke?"
"Haa--!?"
Hearing this, Makarov Guild Master was so suspense that he carried it back and looked at Natsu with a face full of surprise:
"At this point, you still think Laxus is joking!?"
Natsu crossed his chest, turned his head and replied matter-of-factly, "Didn't we just say it from the beginning? This is a festival. Alas, it seems that it can't be held..."
"..."
Everyone in the guild was dumbfounded by this amazing brain circuit.
"That's not certain..." After hearing Natsu's words, Blanc on the stage replied meaningfully.
At this time, Guild Master had no intention of thinking about what Blanc meant. He stared fiercely at Laxus on the stage again and shouted to Blanc:
"Blanc! Now that everyone is safe, hurry up and subdue this brat Laxus! Put an end to this farce!"
After hearing Guild Master's order, the guild members below all showed expectant looks.
Laxus's operation today made their mood as exciting as a roller coaster. They are now more unhappy with Laxus than ever before.
Freed, who was blocked by Jutsu Shiki in the audience, had blue veins popping out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and hammered the transparent wall with his fists desperately. Looking at Laxus on the stage, his eyes were full of anxiety and guilt.
It was all because of his mistakes that Laxus fell into crisis.
He wanted to rush forward and fight side by side with Laxus, but Jutsu Shiki, who had set it up himself and was tampered with by Blanc, turned him away.
On the stage, Bickslow and Evergreen stood in front of Laxus, one on the left and one on the right.
Their faces were ugly, even though everyone in the audience couldn't come up due to Jutsu Shiki reasons.
But Blanc alone seemed to have surrounded the three of them, making it difficult for them to escape.
However, unlike them who were panicking and uneasy, Laxus stepped forward with an intoxicating anger all over his body and pushed aside the two people who were blocking him.
His eyes widened angrily, staring at Blanc:
"It doesn't matter... I wanted to deal with those troublesome fish first, and then I'll deal with you later..."
Just as he was talking, lightning suddenly exploded on his body, making a crackling sound.
"Since it's become like this now, I'll deal with you in advance, it's the same!"
"Let's just continue with the unfinished duel when we were kids!"
The face of Natsu in the audience fell instantly.
"Eh--!? So cunning! Only Blanc and Laxus can fight!"
"Natsu, now is not the time to talk about this..." Happy looked helpless.
"Wait a minute, what!? What is going on now?"
Lucy looked around in confusion.
Not only her, but the girls who had just escaped from the maze were also completely unaware of what shocking events had happened in the guild in just a few minutes.
But for a while, no one had time to answer their questions.
Everyone swallowed in unison and paid attention to the people on the stage. What followed was bound to be a wonderful fight between dragons and tigers.
However, facing Laxus who was ready to go and whose magic power had reached its peak, Blanc showed no sign of taking action.
On the contrary, the corner of his mouth raised a mysterious smile, he turned around leisurely, and asked Makarov Guild Master below:
"Guild Master, didn't you say before that you would give me the position of the next Guild Master?"
As soon as these words came out, Laxus's whole body felt bad, and his impressive aura was instantly broken.
"What!?"
Laxus's eyes suddenly shrank, his face full of shock and disbelief.
