Chapter 168 Kana Rhodes vs. Laxus
The door with water ripples was probably made by an illusion magic circle. Rhodes guessed that it might be the work of Mistgang.
But when he saw the person behind him clearly, he found that it was a figure with blond hair and a coat.
Kana widened her eyes: “Laxus!”
The coat on this guy is finally in season.
”It’s you.” Laxus scratched his head, looking impatient, “You’re too slow, Kana, and… who is it?”
Kana said angrily: “Laxus! Don’t go too far!”
”Ah? What’s too far? There are so many idle people in the guild, do you want me to remember them one by one?” Laxus looked provocative.
Rhode was amused by him. This guy was probably as good as Tatsuya in making people angry.
If a middle school boy like this wanted to fight back, he could just say, “You’re right, grandson of the president.”
But there was no need.
He came to take the exam, not to fight. The more arrogant the examiner, the better.
”Please tell me the rules. If it’s too difficult, maybe we’ll just give up and save your time.”
”Rhode?” Cana was surprised that Rhode could hold back like this.
But thinking that this was all for her exam, she couldn’t help but feel ashamed.
’I thought about it. It’s too difficult to find the shortcomings of S-class wizards in terms of strength, so it’s better to try to take advantage of their weaknesses in character.
For example, Erza is sometimes too serious and sometimes stupid, Mistgang doesn’t want people to see his face, and Laxus… is very arrogant. ’
This is what Rhode said to her a few days ago. The current situation should be considered as planned.
But…Kana was still very angry that her companion was looked down upon.
Laxus, that bastard! ”You are surprisingly sensible.” Laxus glanced at him and said, “Since it is the old man’s request, I will just tell you the rules.”
”There is a flag there.” Laxus pointed at it, “Then there is a magic circle behind me. As long as one of you gets the flag and stands in the magic circle, you will pass.”
Rhode frowned. This is a bit difficult.
Behind Laxus should be a valley, similar to the terrain of “One Line of Sky” and “Huarong Road”, which can be described as one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it.
The flag he mentioned was inserted on the right side of the mountain wall, about ten meters above the ground.
To reach the magic circle, you need to pass through the narrow passage of dozens of meters behind him.
And Laxus’s magic is extremely fast thunder magic. With such a long passage, even if you get the flag, you may be attacked at any time.
Rather than getting the flag, the content of the exam is…
Looking at the embarrassed expressions of the two people opposite, Laxus smiled with satisfaction: “Yes, if you don’t beat me, that kind of thing is impossible!”
Rod frowned. He couldn’t say it so absolutely. If it was Mester, this kind of task could be completed in one second.
He now suspected that the president had opened a back door for Mester. That kind of teleportation magic was simply cheating in this exam.
Laxus continued to say: “But if you want to beat me… hehehehahaha… can you do it with you? Huh?”
”You guys, don’t underestimate me too much!” Kana took out a bunch of cards and spread them out like a fan.
“Hahaha…” Laxus didn’t care about Kana’s words at all, “Let me make it clear in advance, if we have to fight, I won’t hold back, it’s not too late to admit defeat now.”
”Summon, Crimson Razorbeak! Ancient Stone Beetle!”
A group of stone beetles and a group of razorbeaks, a total of eight wild monsters, appeared one after another, and lined up in front of Rhodes.
A trace of surprise flashed in Laxus’s eyes: “Oh? Human wave tactics? Boring trick.”
Kana threw all the cards in her hand: “It’s about time for you to put away your arrogance!”
Laxus moved two steps casually, letting more than a dozen cards flashing with golden light pass by and nail them to the ground.
He twisted his neck: “After so many years, you still haven’t made any progress, Kana.”
”Feathers flying all over the sky!”
The razorbeaks vibrated their wings, and dozens of feather knives shot out. ItThey also followed the charge. ”The darts are well shot, but too weak!” Laxus waved his hand, and golden lightning flashed across, burning all the feathers shot at him.
As for the raptors that charged at him, Laxus punched the largest one away, and kicked a small one. Lightning shot out from his feet through the body of the raptor and hit the other three.
And the only remaining raptor was quickly approaching the flag on the mountain wall.
”Too naive!” Laxus seemed to deliberately show his speed. The whole person was like a golden lightning. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the raptor and kicked it down.
“Opportunity!” Kana raised her hand and shot three cards at Laxus in midair:
“Glory of the Stars!”
“Fountain of Prayer!”
“Fate…Summon Thunder!”
The first card exploded, emitting a dazzling light like a flash bomb; the second card sprayed out countless water blades, shooting at Laxus while flashing; the third card shot out lightning, attacking Laxus, who should have been wet by the water even if he was not injured by the water blades.
In Kana’s eyes, Laxus was not a dragon slayer, so it was no problem to use thunder magic to attack a thunder magician.
To be fair, this set of combined attacks was very strong, and ordinary mages could not react in the air at all. After this set, they could basically open champagne.
But Laxus was obviously not an ordinary magician, so Rhodes summoned another group of razor beaks and fired a volley.
Also summoned a group of shadow wolves, two small ones stacked together and spun forward, and the two-headed wolf spun and pounced.
Ya Tong Ya! Ya Lang Ya!
”Receive·Crimson Razorbeak!” Rhodes leaped up, flapped his wings and flew up.
”With this level of lightning, who are you looking down on!” Laxus was dissatisfied with them using lightning to attack him, a lightning wizard.
He took off his wet coat, and lightning burst out of his body, burning the feathers shot at him again.
Laxus raised his knees and the two-headed wolf was hit in the chin.
Lightning poured into its whole body, burning its wolf hair, and the two-headed wolf fell with black smoke.
With a downward strike of his elbow, the two ordinary wolves were also electrified and charred.
At this time, Laxus landed, and Rhodes had already grabbed the flagpole with his bird claws and pulled the flag out of the mountain wall.
“!” Laxus noticed Rhode’s movements and felt a little angry, “You bastard, you don’t take me seriously!”
”Good job, Rhode!” Kana shot two more cards, “Sun’s Explosion! Emperor’s Wind Blade!”
”Enough!” Laxus waved his right hand back, and the dazzling lightning swallowed the explosion and wind blade, and even had enough energy to fly to Kana behind.
”Ah~~~” Kana screamed after being hit by lightning.
Rhode rushed towards the magic circle.
As soon as Laxus turned around and took a step, a card at his feet broke, freezing him in place.
Kana, with a little curly hair, smiled: “Ice Pillar of Death.”
However, the ice pillar shattered as soon as it appeared, and Laxus turned into a lightning to block Rhode and kicked Rhode in the abdomen.
Rhodes flew backwards, leaving a mark on the ground. When he turned over and jumped up, he had returned to Kana.
The flag had been held by Laxus, and he leaned on the ground. He said word by word: “I say, enough.”
Raxus was flashing with lightning all over his body, and even his mouth and eyes were spraying lightning.
That posture was like an angry Thor.
Kana was concerned about Rhodes’s condition: “Are you okay?”
”It’s okay.” Rhodes released the receiving magic, “Sorry, it was almost.”
”I couldn’t hold him back.” Kana was not discouraged and drew a few cards again, “This guy is really not that easy to deal with.”
Kana’s magic names mostly come from Tarot cards.
I don’t really understand what each Tarot card represents, so I can only try to make a few based on the naming format in the comics. If there is anything inappropriate, please correct me. (End of this chapter)
