Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 37 S-Rank Conflict: Chess vs. Laxus?!

Lucy sighed with a worried expression when this was mentioned.

Because they failed to complete the task of "destroying the books," neither she nor Natsu received any coins.

"Yes, Mr. Chase. Although we didn't get paid and encountered some strange guys shouting 'La la bai' on the way back, we did see a super successful novel and even got the key to the Twelve Palaces."

Lucy's disappointment vanished in an instant, replaced by a happy smile. "Overall, it's a great request!"

"You've encountered some strange guys, haven't you? That's what it's like when you team up with Nazhabi," Chase nodded and said seriously.

Lalabai, meaning lullaby, possesses a flute that can harvest human souls when played, and its true form is a demon from the book of Zeref.

"Mr. Chase, what you said makes a lot of sense!" Lucy, who had been tricked, raised both hands in strong agreement.

Seeing her respectful expression, Chess smiled and said, "We're all guild members, so there's no need to be so formal with me."

"I'm a few years older than you, just call me 'brother' like Nazgre and the others."

Lucy was taken aback by his sudden affability, but after a moment's thought, she nodded emphatically: "Yes! Mr. Chase, oh no, Brother Chase!"

Then, she muttered to herself: Although, Nazgray always seems to call people by their first names, right...?

"Seriously, Chesgo is really amazing! He can even defeat those giant monsters that existed in ancient times!" Lucy exclaimed with admiration.

"I see. Lucy, you're looking forward to battles like Natsume and the others, aren't you? Well then, next time I have a similar request, I'll take you along too."

"No! Where do I look like I'm expecting anything?!"

Seeing that Chase looked completely serious and wasn't joking at all, Lucy quickly reaffirmed her stance, "Brother Chase, please don't involve me in this kind of thing!"

Fighting a monster that can make the whole island tremble with a stomp of its foot?

I don't have enough lives to lose!

Just then, Natsu, who had just finished his usual brawl, suddenly appeared from behind.

"Let's get this party started! Feed Lucy! Let's do an S-class commission next time!"

Lucy was so startled by the sudden, shocking statement that she bristled and turned to Natsu, hurling insults at him: "What the hell! Can't you listen to what I just said?!"

"I heard you, you said you'd take me with you." Natsu nodded very firmly.

"All I heard about feelings was the last three words!!!"

Lucy sighed heavily, speechless, and covered her forehead in despair.

Just as she was about to have a good argument with the dim-witted Natsu, a disdainful snort suddenly came from the second floor of the guild.

"I really don't know if the old man is getting senile, he keeps recruiting these weak and useless trash."

Following the sound, one could see a man wearing a sweater and coat, with short hair and an arrogant expression, leaning against the edge of the corridor, looking down at the crowd below.

Upon recognizing the person, the guild members, who had just finished their "activities," instantly fell silent.

"Hey, Laxus, so you're in the guild too."

Chase stepped forward to block Lucy, looking expressionlessly at the man on the second floor.

"Laxus?" Lucy glanced at it timidly.

I have a feeling that this guy looks super dangerous, and he's very different from the rest of the guild.

"Like Chess and Erza, the monster I mentioned yesterday, he is an S-rank mage in the guild and one of the strongest candidates."

Happy flew down from the sky and explained the other person's identity to Lucy.

"The, the strongest candidate?!" Lucy was startled by this title.

On the second floor, Laxus withdrew his disdainful gaze, met Chase's eyes, and smiled slightly with excitement.

"Chess, I only came here after I heard you were back, so I ended my assignment."

"Really? As recyclable waste, this behavior is surprisingly well-suited to your personality," Chase chuckled.

"What did you say?!" Laxus's expression instantly darkened.

"You say Lucy is trash, then aren't you trash too, since you have the same hair color as her?"

Chase was not intimidated by the other party's imposing manner at all, and remained calm and composed.

Although Laxus will become the most reliable and trustworthy man in Fairy Tail after realizing the importance of "family".

To be fair, he was really asking for a beating at this time, as he was going through a rebellious phase!

Upon hearing this, Lucy, who was hiding behind Chase, twitched at the corner of her mouth: Why do I have this inexplicable feeling of being offended?

"Heh, you're still the same as you were a year ago, incredibly annoying!"

"There's a lot of talk outside about who's the strongest mage in Fairy Tail, you or me, but..."

Laxus stood up straight, arrogantly spreading his arms wide. "No matter who it is, the title of strongest can only belong to me, Laxus!"

boom!

The moment the words left his mouth, thunder roared and lightning flashed.

The terrifying magical power erupted like a volcano, making it difficult for the rest of the guild, including Nazgray, to breathe!

"Come on, Chase, let's settle this duel that ended inconclusively today!"

Bathed in lightning, Laxus's fighting spirit surged, and he provocatively beckoned to Chase.

"Are you so eager to be beaten down, Laxus?"

Chase smiled calmly, the cards at his fingertips flashing.

An equally terrifying magical aura erupted from his body, colliding violently with Laxus.

The ensuing storm roared wildly within the cramped guild, sending tables and chairs flying.

The dark magician girl summoned her magic wand, and a magic circle slowly began to circulate beneath her feet as she stood beside Chess.

As a card monster, she naturally follows Chess unconditionally.

"Wait, wait a minute, S-rank versus S-rank?!"

The tense and oppressive atmosphere was so intense that even the Fairy Tail members, who were used to big scenes, were quite frightened.

They simply couldn't imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if Chase and Laxus were in full power!

"Um, that..."

Although the newbie Lucy was trembling with fear, she still mustered up her courage and took a step forward to stop Chase and Laxus, since the incident was caused by her (even though it wasn't her fault).

However, just as she stepped forward to take responsibility, she was suddenly pulled back by Mira behind her.

In the midst of their bewilderment, another terrifying surge of magical energy suddenly erupted.

Immediately following, a dark purple magic circle appeared within the aura storm.

Kana and the others looked up and were immediately shocked by the long-unseen scene before them, breaking out in a cold sweat and showing expressions of disbelief.

Mira...no!

That's Mirajane, the demon who received the soul of Satan?!

"Laxus, this is the guild, could you please behave yourself a little?" Mira stared at Laxus with cold eyes.

Laxus's eyes widened, his arrogant face filled with shock.

A familiar feeling welled up in my heart.

After a few seconds of silence, he came to his senses, snorted coldly, and withdrew his magic with great displeasure.

"Chess, you too." Mira turned around.

Chase shrugged, and the card in his hand turned into specks of light and vanished.

At the same time, Dark Magician Girl also deactivated her attack mode.

"With those troublesome individuals present, this is the end of the day. Chess, one day I'll show you who the true strongest guild is!"

After uttering these harsh words, Laxus transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot.

"Then I'll look forward to it, Laxus."

Chess glanced up at the second-floor corridor where the electric arcs still lingered.

The "Thunder Palace" incident was a crucial turning point for Laxus as he matured from his rebellious phase, so he actually has no intention of fighting Laxus now.

Choosing to stand up was simply to support Lucy.

Lucy, who was forced to cause this conflict and was seeing Mira's demon form for the first time, was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

That incredibly gentle Mila...

Wow, it's that scary!!!
