Inside the pit on the cliff.
Laxus, naked from the waist up, was pressed down by gravity at the bottom of the pit, golden lightning flickering around him with crackling sounds. He desperately propped himself up with both arms on the ground, his face contorted in a ferocious expression as he spoke with difficulty:
"You shut up!"
Accompanied by the angry roar, Laxus forcefully braced his body, enduring the seven times gravity on him, and slowly stood up.
This book is first published on the whole internet.
His entire being was on the verge of a complete breakdown.
Emolga was at the edge of the pit, calling out anxiously. It ran to Gar's side, chirping and waving its short little paws, trying to plead for Laxus.
Gar, however, merely stroked Emolga's head, calming it down.
Looking at Laxus, who was slowly standing up, Gar said:
"Oh?"
"Very angry, aren't you?"
"I thought your heart had died, and you'd turned into a childish brat who would never smile again."
"Whether you accept it or not."
"Ivan's matter is already like this."
"You don't think that if you make yourself look like this, Ivan will feel heartache and change his mind, do you?"
"No way, right? No way?"
Perhaps it was because Gar had touched Laxus's sensitive nerve.
Before Gar's words even finished, Laxus suddenly raised his head and roared in fury:
"I said!"
"Shut up!"
Zzzzz—
The lightning around Laxus flickered, and the surging magic power spread out, sweeping in all directions, breaking through Gar's simple suppression. Laxus raised his right arm, condensed with magic power, and aimed it at Gar, roaring angrily:
"Lightning Dragon's Crushing Fist!"
The golden lightning, compressed to the extreme, gathered in Laxus's right arm and shot out.
A golden lightning pillar several meters in diameter directly struck towards Gar.
Gar flipped his right hand, and a blank card appeared between his index and middle fingers, facing the incoming golden lightning pillar.
Swish!
A ray of light flashed.
Laxus's attack instantly disappeared, leaving only a card that had turned golden in the air.
Gar released his fingers, and the card floated in the air, facing Laxus.
Gar raised his hand and clenched his fist, aiming at the card:
"Lightning Dragon's Crushing Fist."
Gar's fist struck the card, and a continuous stream of magic power poured into it. The card, which had sealed the 'Lightning Dragon's Crushing Fist,' burst into light. A pillar of electric light, several times thicker than the one Laxus had just unleashed, shot out from the card, heading straight for Laxus.
Laxus's pupils contracted sharply, and he could only barely raise his hands to block in front of him.
Boom—!!!
With a deafening roar, the forest trembled, startling countless flying birds and Pokémon.
The golden lightning pillar shot out from the cliff, streaked across the sky above the entire Magnolia Town, and the electric light instantly illuminated Magnolia Town for a moment.
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild.
In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the entrance, everyone was gathered around two joined long tables, noisily preparing to eat hot pot. Ur, wearing a swimsuit, and Gray and Lyon were demonstrating how to eat to everyone.
Makarov stood alone in the corner, looking out at the cliff in the West Side Forest of the town through the large floor-to-ceiling window, a hint of worry in his eyes:
"Laxus..."
West Side Forest.
On the cliff.
A long gash appeared here, and at the end of the gash was Laxus with his arms blocking in front of him.
At this moment, there was a bit of confusion in Laxus's eyes.
Although he was already used to lightning, the excessive current influx, while not causing any damage to Laxus, still left Laxus's mind somewhat blank.
However, he recovered in an instant, and anger surged back into his heart:
"Bastard! Using such methods!"
"Are you playing with me?!"
Gar's mouth curved slightly, and he said:
"Yes, I am."
"Not convinced?"
Laxus's magic power surged throughout his body:
"Lightning Dragon's Roar!"
Gar, however, simply took out that card again, and another ray of light flashed. Laxus's roar disappeared without a trace. Gar raised his fingers and pinched the card.
Swish!
Gar disappeared from his original spot and instantly appeared in front of Laxus.
With a'snap'.
The card in Gar's hand was directly pressed against Laxus's abdomen. Gar raised his hand and threw a punch, saying faintly:
"Lightning Dragon's Roar."
Boom!
Another large pit exploded on the ground of the cliff, accompanied by Laxus's scream.
"You guy..."
Boom!
"Lightning Dragon's Jaw!!!"
Boom!
On the cliff, golden electric light constantly flickered, and the ground trembled.
Laxus's figure kept falling, then getting up again. His voice also returned from rage to rationality, but he still tried to attack Gar again and again.
Emolga hid in the tree, raising its little paws and covering its eyes with a look of unbearable pain.
However, its large, rolling eyes, peeking through the gaps in its paws, watched Laxus fall over and over again, and it didn't dare to say anything.
After an unknown amount of time.
Boom!!!
The ground trembled, and Laxus struggled to crawl up, but after several attempts, he didn't succeed.
With a thud.
He completely fell to the bottom of the pit, and with difficulty, he rolled over, lying on his back, covered in wounds and constantly gasping for breath.
Laxus struggled to raise his arm and cover his eyes.
Tears kept flowing from his eyes, falling onto the ground. He bit his teeth tightly, not wanting to make a sound, but the choked sobs were uncontrollable, until finally he cried out loudly as if venting.
Gar, who had been standing at the edge of the pit, sat down where he was and didn't say anything to stop him.
After a long while.
Laxus's crying gradually subsided. He put down the arm covering his eyes, seeming to have completely vented. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said:
"Sorry..."
"Gar... big brother."
Laxus's voice was a little hesitant, he paused for a moment but still called out.
Gar said:
"You've vented, now get up."
Laxus nodded and propped himself up from the bottom of the pit, sitting up. However, the stinging pain all over his body made Laxus unable to help but grimace.
A green light shot out from Gar's fingertip and flowed into Laxus's body.
Laxus only felt a warm current rising within his body. Before he could even feel the comfort, the pain in his body suddenly increased tenfold. The intense pain all over his body almost made Laxus faint from the pain:
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Laxus fell down again from the pain. When he recovered, although his body had healed, that feeling made Laxus's mouth twitch:
"Next time when you're healing... give a heads up."
Laxus propped himself up and stood up from the bottom of the pit. Although he had been healed, he absolutely didn't want to experience it a second time.
Gar shrugged and said:
"This is for your own good."
"Alright, clean yourself up."
"Wipe your face."
"Everyone is waiting for you to eat."
Laxus was stunned:
"Waiting for me?"
Gar said with a smile:
"Yes."
"Waiting for you."
Following Gar's gaze, at the end of the distant town, in front of the Guild's large floor-to-ceiling window, people were gathered around the long table, their figures bustling, but not a single person was sitting at the table and starting to eat.
Ur was holding a kettle, constantly adding water to the pots, and a group of children were running around the table.
Laxus stood on the cliff, stunned. Even from such a distance, he could clearly sense that at the floor-to-ceiling window, a pair of loving eyes were looking at him.
Grandpa...
And everyone is waiting for me...
Crack!
Gar's hand landed on Laxus's shoulder.
"Let's go."
"Mm."
