Chapter 279: Sho: It's just magic, right? Who can't do it?

【Time approached night.】

【Inside the underground amusement park at Akane Resort.】

【Black Natsu was staring intently at the little character on the lacrima screen that was constantly dodging the boss's skills.】

【His hands were dancing non-stop on the game controller.】 ===== CHAPTER 584 =====

【To the side, Juvia was wide-eyed, her little fists clenched tightly, muttering non-stop.】

【"Come on... come on... it's almost over..."】

【The next moment, following a violent explosion that rang out from the lacrima screen.】

【The boss was completely eliminated.】

【The words "Congratulations on clearing" appeared on the screen.】

【"Yay!! Finally cleared!!!"】

【Perhaps because she was too excited, Juvia jumped up, opened her arms, and hugged Black Natsu.】

【"Hey, aren't you a bit too excited?"】

【Smelling the faint fragrance close at hand, Black Natsu's mouth couldn't stop twitching.】

【"Ah?!!"】

【Juvia finally reacted, her cheeks instantly turning red.】

【She shrank back timidly, her head buried in her chest.】

【"Th... that... ah!! So shameful..."】

【Steam seemed to be rising from Juvia's head.】

【Happy, watching this scene, couldn't help but cover his mouth.】

【A voice that sounded like a curled tongue came out: "There's something going on~~"】

【"Happy!!"】

【Juvia's face turned even redder.】

【Black Natsu couldn't help but shake his head, and just as he was about to say something.】

【The sound of footsteps behind him caught his attention.】

【"I really didn't expect that the legendary Fire Dragon of Fairy Tail would be here."】

【Black Natsu turned his head to look at the tall and burly guy behind him.】

【The guy had a steel mask on his cheek and a bandana on his head.】

【"Hmm?"】

【Black Natsu frowned in confusion.】

【"This is really... effortless!"】

【Simon's mouth curled into a smile.】

【He suddenly channeled his magic power.】

【A dark purple magic array unfolded in his eyes.】

【The next moment, the entire hall was shrouded in darkness.】

【Following that, BOOM!!!】

【A violent explosion rang out, and the terrifying impact shocked the tourists in the entire underground amusement park.】

【The scene fell into chaos.】

【At the same time, on the other side, in the card game area.】

【"Erza! You're done for!!" Mirajane held a few playing cards, a triumphant smile on her face.】

【"Oh?" Erza raised an eyebrow.】

【"Can you really beat the cards in my hand?"】

【Lucy held a pile of cards, her face showing bitterness.】

【"How come everyone's cards are so good? So I'm just here to make up the numbers?"】

【Mirajane didn't care and held the playing cards in her hand high.】

【She slammed them down hard on the table.】

【"Watch me, four 2s, who can beat that!!!"】

【Mirajane roared excitedly.】

【The playing cards were falling rapidly.】

【Slap! They hit the table.】

【Before Erza and Lucy could see clearly.】

【Another stack of cards landed on the table even faster.】

【A hand was firmly pressing down on this deck of cards.】

【"Ladies, your stakes are really boring, how about we bet on something else?"】

【Erza, Mirajane, and Lucy raised their heads in astonishment,】

【looking at the owner of this hand.】

【Golden hair, dark skin.】

【The man named Sho had a smile on his face: "I've long heard that the members of Fairy Tail are all bolder than the sky."】

【"So, how about the new stake is your lives?"】

【Although Sho's voice contained a smile, the tone was incredibly low.】

【The moment his voice fell.】

【A point of red light began to flicker on Mirajane's forehead.】

【Wally's hands assembled like building blocks into a sniper rifle, and the infrared ray of the gun pointed clearly at Mirajane's forehead.】

【At the same time, beside Erza, the cat-girl Millianna approached Erza quietly with light steps.】

【The rope in her hand had somehow already been looped around Erza's neck.】

【It seemed as if as long as Millianna exerted force, she could completely stop Erza's breathing.】

【Seeing this scene, Lucy was shocked!】

【She stood up from her seat abruptly.】

【Looking at the three of them in horror: "What... what are you doing?!!"】

【Lucy questioned angrily.】

【But she was immediately calmed down by Mirajane.】

【She didn't seem to be frightened by the situation before her.】

【Her gaze looked at Sho with some amusement.】

【"Speaking of which, do you know what you're doing?"】

【Sho returned a smile of certainty: "Of course I know, young lady."】

【"I've long heard that Fairy Tail is incredibly strong, so, as a sacrifice, there's no better choice than you."】

【"A sacrifice?" Mirajane and Erza looked at each other.】

【"So, you're prepared, huh?" Erza covered the cards in her hand on the table.】

【Then she asked.】

【"Of course!" Sho responded.】

【"We originally planned to visit your guild, but heaven favored us; whether it's the famous Erza and Mirajane of your guild, or that guy called the Fire Dragon."】

【"They are all in this hotel."】

【"It saves us the trouble of finding you."】

【Mirajane couldn't help but laugh out loud.】

【"What are you laughing at?" Wally frowned, and the gun was instantly loaded.】

【But Mirajane didn't even pay attention, instead leaning back on the chair, arms crossed.】

【"Speaking of which, since you've done your homework, I'm curious, what exactly gives you the courage to attack us?"】

【Sho smiled disdainfully.】

【He spread his hands: "Isn't this obvious enough?"】

【"Even if they are mages, when targeted, when their weak points are held, what's there to be afraid of?"】

【"Besides..."】

【Speaking of this, Sho paused.】

【"Besides, it's just magic, right? Who can't do it!"】

【As the words fell, Sho snapped his fingers.】

【Instantly!】

【Sho picked up the pile of playing cards on the table triumphantly.】

【Then he scattered them on the ground.】

【Erza and the others could clearly see that each card was like a cage.】

【Imprisoning the tourists who were just here.】

【Just then, the vision began to dim.】

【Until darkness completely covered the vision.】

【Sho smiled.】

【Because he knew this magic.】

【When this magic was activated, it meant that Simon's side had succeeded.】

【Sure enough, immediately after, a violent explosion came from another hall.】

【The roaring sound echoed throughout Akane Resort.】 ===== CHAPTER 586 =====

【In the darkness! Sho's face was filled with wild laughter!】

【"Hahaha, now, do it, Wally, Millianna!!!"】

【"Do it? Understood."】

【A voice that was neither laughing nor serious came from the darkness.】

【Before Sho could even investigate who that voice belonged to!】

【A blinding dark purple light shone in the extreme darkness.】

【"Ugh ah ah ah!!!!"】

【"Ah ah ah!!!"】

【The next moment, two screams rang out.】

【Sho was very familiar with those screams!】

【One could even say it was a tone he heard every day.】

【"This is... Wally? And Millianna??"】

【Sho was stunned.】

【"This... what on earth happened?"】

【Sho was completely confused.】

【Just as he was about to ask.】

【The darkness retreated instantly, and the light of incandescent lamps filled his vision.】

【When the human eye is accustomed to darkness, and the surroundings are suddenly filled with light, anyone would instinctively close their eyes.】

【To get used to the sudden change in light.】

【Sho was in that state now.】

【The intense light made him instinctively close his eyes tightly, and when he felt the light gradually soften.】

【He slowly opened his eyes.】

【His pupils...】

【Instantly contracted into a ball!】

【A sharp cold light was flickering right before his eyes.】

【It was a sword!】

【A sword floating in mid-air, placed less than a centimeter from his forehead.】

【Not only that, at least ten more swords were floating all around him.】

【The sharp tips were pointed at him.】

【As if there were no blind spots at all, trapping him in a sword formation.】

【The deadly threat made Sho's hair stand on end in an instant, and sweat soaked his clothes directly.】

【He swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly.】

【Sho actually felt his whole body trembling.】

【Even his feet were cramping a bit.】

【But he didn't dare to move at all.】

【It was just... those blades were too close to him.】

【If he moved even a centimeter, Sho wouldn't doubt for a second that he would be pierced by those ruthless blades.】

【He swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly.】

【Sho's eyeballs rolled around.】

【He saw the culprit of all this, Erza, sitting on a chair, pointing a finger at him.】

【As her finger swayed slightly.】

【Those dozen blades moved closer by another step.】

【That deadly cold light almost scared Sho into peeing himself.】

【Erza pouted disdainfully, her finger lifting slightly.】

【Immediately, the blades approaching Sho loosened a little, but they were still pointing at him.】

【Making him not dare to make any rash moves at all.】

【Sho breathed a sigh of relief secretly.】

【He shifted his gaze.】

【He saw Wally lying on the ground.】

【At this moment, Wally was already bruised and swollen, as if he had lost consciousness.】

【Then, there was Millianna.】

【The rope that was originally hanging around Erza's neck had become the best material for binding herself.】

【Tied up like a dumpling and thrown on the ground, a high-heeled boot was stepping on Millianna's body.】

【Mirajane looked at Millianna under her feet, then looked at Sho.】

【"Speaking of which, didn't you just say you were going to use us as sacrifices~?"】

【"What's wrong? Not planning to make a move yet?"】

【Mirajane's mouth curled up slightly: "I..."】

【"Can't wait anymore!"】

【Lucy on the side held her forehead.】

【"Sure enough, there's no good end to provoking these two big sisters..."】

【Sho's breathing was heavy.】

【Being defeated completely in a short instant was something Sho had never expected.】

【At this moment, he no longer counted on Wally and Millianna.】

【"Simon... yes, there's still Simon..."】

【As if grabbing the last straw, Sho's expression gradually became excited.】

【He even began to roar with all his might.】

【"Hey!! You'd better let us go."】

【"It won't be long! My companion will bring your companion here, if you want your companion to be safe, hurry up and let us go!!"】

【"Huh?" Mirajane seemed to have heard some funny joke.】

【She sat casually on a chair, crossing her legs.】

【Her smiling eyes looked at Sho: "You said... your companion can handle our companion?"】

【Perhaps it was Mirajane's disdainful attitude that made the veins on Sho's forehead bulge continuously.】

【"Bastard, Simon is the strongest among us! You will definitely regret it!"】

【"You will definitely regret it... Simon?!!"】

【Just as Sho's voice fell.】

【Bang...】

【A dull sound echoed in this hall.】 ===== CHAPTER 587 =====
