Chapter 584

【Beside him, Juvia has her eyes wide open, her small fists clenched tightly, muttering non-stop.】

【"Come on... come on... it's about to pass..."】

【The next moment, following a violent explosion that resounds on the magic crystal screen.】

【The BOSS is wiped out.】

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

【"Yay!! Finally passed!!!"】

【Perhaps because she is too excited, Juvia jumps up abruptly, opens her arms, and hugs Black Natsu.】

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

【Smelling the faint fragrance close at hand, Black Natsu's mouth twitches uncontrollably.】

【"Ah?!!"】

【Juvia finally reacts, her cheeks instantly turning rosy.】

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

【"Th... that... ah!! So shameful..."】

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

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

【A voice like a rolling tongue comes out: "There's something going on~~"】

【"Happy!!"】

【Juvia's face turns even redder.】

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

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

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

【Black Natsu turns his head, looking at the tall and burly man behind him.】

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

【"Hmm?"】

【Black Natsu frowns in confusion.】

【"It really is... effortless!"】

【Simon's mouth curls into a smile.】

【He abruptly mobilizes his magic power.】

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

【The next moment, the entire hall is enveloped in darkness.】

【Immediately following, boom!!!】

【A violent explosion sounds, and the terrifying impact shocks the tourists in the entire underground playground.】

【The scene falls into chaos.】

【Meanwhile, on the other side, in the card area.】

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

【"Oh?" Erza raises an eyebrow.】

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

【Lucy holds 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 ignores her and raises the playing cards in her hand high.】

【She slams them down onto the table.】

【"Look at my four 2s, who can beat that!!!"】

【Mirajane roars excitedly.】

【The playing cards fall rapidly.】

【Slap! They hit the table.】

【Before Erza and Lucy can see clearly.】

【Another stack of cards falls onto the table at a faster speed.】

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

【"Ladies, your stakes are too boring; why don't we bet on something else?"】

【Erza, Mirajane, and Lucy raise their heads in astonishment.】

【Looking at the owner of this hand.】

【Golden hair, dark skin.】

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

【"So, how about we bet on your lives for the new stakes?"】

【Although Sho's voice contains a smile, the tone is extremely low.】

【The moment his voice falls.】

【A red light begins to flicker between Mirajane's eyebrows.】

【The blocky man Wally's hand assembles into a block sniper rifle, and the infrared ray of the gun points clearly at Mirajane's eyebrows.】

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

【The rope in her hand has already been looped around Erza's neck at some point.】

【As if as long as Millianna exerts force, she could completely cut off Erza's breath.】

【Seeing this scene, Lucy is shocked!】

【She stands up abruptly from her seat.】

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

【Lucy questions angrily.】

【But she is immediately calmed down by Mirajane.】

【She doesn't seem to be scared by the situation in front of her.】

【Her gaze looks at Sho with some interest.】

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

【Sho returns a smile of certainty: "Of course I know, Miss."】

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

【"Sacrifice?" Mirajane and Erza look at each other.】

【"So, you came prepared, huh?" Erza covers the cards in her hand on the table.】

【Then she asks.】

【"Of course!" Sho responds.】

【"I originally intended to visit your guild, but I didn't expect that heaven would favor 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 can't help but laugh out loud.】

【"What are you laughing at?" Wally frowns, and the gun loads instantly.】

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

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

【Sho smiles disdainfully.】

【He spreads his hands to indicate: "Isn't this obvious enough?"】

【"Even mages, when targeted, when their weak points are grasped, what is there to be afraid of?"】

【"Besides..."】

【Sho pauses here.】

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

【As the words fall, Sho snaps his fingers.】

【In an instant!】
