Chapter 170 The Curtain Falls
After the holy light passed, nothing happened.
Everyone blinked instinctively, their faces still bearing the lingering traces of the mistake made when the fairy law was activated.
panic.
Sensing that Kuriboh, who was protecting his companions, was not reacting, Chess, who was ready to kill Laxus at any moment, breathed a heavy sigh of relief and withdrew the magic power that had been secretly accumulating in his palm.
Laxus, although what he's doing now is really despicable, his return after recognizing his true self is quite reliable. He played a key role in various major events that followed, and his strength is definitely in the top tier.
Whether it was due to his personal "future vision" or the overall interests of the guild, Chase was unwilling to kill Laxus here.
I don't want to see this rebellious blond guy, affected by the butterfly effect brought about by his time travel, completely degenerate into a heartless and insane person like Germain the Saberbite.
Judging from the final result, Fairy Tail's strongest tsundere did not disappoint him.
"How...how is this possible? Fairy law is a super magic that can wipe out all enemies, how are you still standing here unscathed?!"
Laxus's face was contorted with disbelief; he had never imagined things would turn out this way.
Even though his magic was nearing its limit and its power had decreased, he was absolutely certain that the Fairy Law had been successfully activated!
"The laws of fairies only apply to enemies as determined by the caster."
Chase stepped aside, giving Laxus a better view of the people standing behind him. "Isn't it obvious enough? In your subconscious, you don't even see us as enemies who must be eliminated!"
"Magic doesn't lie. Whether it's me, Natsu, or even a weakling like Lucy, they are all important partners. That's your truest thought deep down."
"It's time to wake up from this boring, childish daze, you damn Laxus!"
Lucy was moved to tears by his impassioned words: "But, please, don't single me out at such a serious time, Chesgo!"
Even if it's really impossible to do that, could you please bring Happy along too? QAQ!
The new guild member felt offended.
Upon hearing this, Laxus gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, his expression ferocious and gloomy.
As Chase said, the laws of the fairies do not lie.
Even though he vaguely realized the truth, he was still unable to accept this "absurd and ridiculous" truth for a while because of his stubbornness.
Tiny arcs of electricity danced across the surface of Laxus's wounded body, revealing his furious and displeased state of mind.
Strangely, he did nothing more than stand silently in place.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Chase, who was closest, was the first to notice something was wrong.
"This idiot's passed out. Someone, give him some emergency treatment." He turned around and waved to his companions.
After he finished speaking, everyone was briefly stunned.
"Oh wow! Laxus has lost, we've won!!"
Kana's excited shouts broke the silence first.
Immediately afterward, the comrades who had reacted raised their arms and burst into loud cheers, rushing over to lift Chase up and toss him into the air repeatedly to catch him, in celebration of their victory in this dangerous civil war.
"What a man! Chase, what a fantastic fight!"
"Well done! I knew it, Chase, you bastard, you've never let us down!"
"Damn it! I definitely won't lose the next ultimate tournament!"
"I think so too!"
Most people had bright smiles on their faces, ignoring their injuries and enjoying the joy of being completely relaxed after a great battle.
Of course, there were also one or two loners who radiated tangible resentment and squatted in the corner.
"Sigh, I was hoping that the high odds on Laxus would allow me to make a killing."
Marcao watched sadly as Cana and the others divided up their money.
"Gamblers end up with nothing!" Kana happily waved the banknotes in her hand.
Lucy immediately leaned closer: "So when you said 'We won,' you meant winning money! No wonder you were so excited!!"
As expected of the most famous tsukkomi mage in Fairy Tail, he can even find something to criticize. After a brief period of noise, the group returned to the guild at the end of town, led by Makarov.
Although none of the comrades were in mortal danger after the baptism of civil war, basic testing and treatment were still essential to prevent any lingering health problems.
The person in charge of this task is Harusica, the Fairy Tail potion advisor.
This cold-hearted old woman, who has an extreme aversion to human presence, is actually a human counterpart of Grandine, the celestial dragon of the Edolas world.
Whether out of respect for Poryusika's aura or out of deference to her, the Fairy Tail members, unusually, did not make a scene as usual, but instead sat quietly and obediently underwent the examination.
Chess was among them.
He fought Laxus with all his might and was also seriously injured, but he still said in a cool way, "It's just a little bit of hardship."
Then, unsurprisingly, he was given a good scolding by Polyusika and immediately became obedient.
His pouting, wronged look made Lucy and the others burst into laughter.
During this time, considering the unstable physical condition of the guild members, Makarov took the opportunity to call the mayor's office in Magnolia.
Firstly, he expressed his desire to postpone the grand finale of the Harvest Festival, the magical parade, until tomorrow night. Secondly, he briefly discussed compensation for the losses caused by the civil war.
With the support of the Heartfilia Foundation, the old man spoke with much more confidence, unlike before when he stammered and hesitated.
News of the postponement of the magical parade quickly spread throughout the town, with the official explanation being that the guild master, Makarov, had health problems.
This immediately sparked heated discussions among residents familiar with Fairy Tail, who began speculating about who would be the next chairman.
Some people believe that he is Makarov's grandson, Lagersas, and proudly say that they even held him when he was a child.
Some people hope it's Erza, for a simple and straightforward reason: the Fairy Queen is responsible, has a strong sense of justice and public morality, and is also a super beautiful woman.
Yes, the last one is the important one!
Gildarts and Chase, who are among the strongest, were subconsciously ignored by everyone.
Just thinking about having a dangerous guy with the "Gildarts Mode" and the "Chase Code" as the chairman makes me want to move!
With this, the Fairy Tail civil war has come to a complete end.
As the sun sets behind the western mountains, night falls.
Chess, having finished Ms. Poliwica's forced treatment, returned to his new home.
He returned a little late because Makarov had called him in for a private talk (about Lagussa).
So, the moment the door was opened, several figures naturally appeared in the brightly lit living room.
"Yo-chez, welcome back~" Natsu greeted him with a smile, his body wrapped in bandages.
"Would you like some tea?" Erza, dressed in casual clothes, handed over a cup of hot tea that had been brewed.
"Um, Chess, I'm sorry to bother you." Lucy's beautiful eyes darted left and right, looking quite guilty.
"Hey! Chase, we didn't trespass! We were originally going to Lucy's place, but Lucy suggested we come here instead," Happy betrayed him with a sly look.
"No, no! I just thought it was more spacious here in Chesgo!"
Lucy, flustered and dapper, hurriedly explained, "Yes, that's right!"
Chess: ".—"
You just don't want these guys to cause you trouble, right?
Since there was only one umbrella, I was so grateful that you gave me the chance to get wet in the rain!
That being said, Chase didn't seem to care too much, or rather, he preferred the lively atmosphere.
Lucy was worried that Natsu and the others might not be able to afford to compensate their landlady, but he didn't have that concern at all.
Taking the black tea Erza offered, Chase sat down on the sofa, asking in confusion, "Why haven't I seen Gray?"
The strongest squads usually appear in groups.
"Chess, I'm here."
The bathroom door diagonally opposite was pushed open, and Gray, who was soaking in the bathtub, raised his hand to greet them.
The relaxed and candid atmosphere was completely unlike the acting of Lucy blushing and exclaiming in surprise, while Erza seriously commented that Gray seemed to have become a little stronger.
"Hey, Chess! So what's the old man planning to do with Laxus? He'll probably make him wear a maid outfit and clean the city, right?" Natsu asked with a mischievous grin.
Upon hearing this, Erza and Lucy instinctively perked up their ears, and Gray in the bathtub also turned his gaze towards them.
Chase did not give an answer immediately, but silently drank the black tea in his hand in one gulp.
"The president's decision is the same as what I said before, to bring Laxus—."
"Expel him from the guild!"
