Chapter 98: Ch 98 : Provocation and Crisis
"Hahaha, as expected of Noel—you really understand me well."
A familiar yet untraceable voice suddenly rang out, and Laxus' projection appeared before the few people inside the guild.
Noel frowned, staring at Laxus with displeasure. "Why did your thought projection suddenly appear here? Are you here just to give us a battle update?"
A strange glint flashed in Laxus' eyes before he let out a dismissive sneer. "Oh? Noel? And Natsu? You two are still here? Don't tell me the game hasn't even started, and you've already given up?"
"Like hell I know!! I can't get out of here!"
"For some reason, I'm trapped in this barrier too."
"Laxus, you bastard!!" Makarov roared at him.
"Well, that's a real shame," Laxus shrugged, then smirked wickedly. "Your comrades... No, wait, you call them your 'children,' right? Watching your children slaughter each other—it must be unbearable, huh? Ah, what a pity.
If Noel, Erza, and Mira can't participate, then those small fry outside won't even be able to take down the Thunder God Tribe, let alone me. Want to surrender?"
"Gray is still out there," Happy retorted. "He's on par with Natsu! He won't lose to those Thunder God guys!"
"That guy? As strong as me?"
