Chapter 73

And the probability of her winning this competition increased quite a bit.

While Lucy was excited, she suddenly thought of something.

"Wait, Following Ye Yu's magic seems to also have an impact on my Celestial Spirit Magic!"

"I was also prepared to perform a dance with the Celestial Spirits!"

Thinking of this, the smile on Lucy's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a bitter smile.

A second ago, she was still gloating over Erza.

The next second, it was her turn.

"Next, please welcome the newcomer of Fairy Tail this year, Lucy!"

"Eh? Eh, I'm not ready yet!"

Hearing the host's words and the cheers of the audience, Lucy appeared somewhat at a loss.

But in the end, she still walked onto the stage.

"I am Lucy, what I want to perform is..."

Before Lucy could finish her words, a very abrupt female voice came from the air.

"Alright, this boring competition ends here!"

Hearing this voice, Lucy turned to look.

They saw a woman wearing glasses and holding a fan walking over.

This woman was none other than Evergreen, one of the Thunder God Tribe.

"Evergreen!"

Perhaps Lucy didn't know Evergreen, but Makarov did.

He had long thought that Laxus might make a move today.

But he didn't expect that he would make a move in full view of everyone.

The moment he saw Evergreen appear, Makarov stood up.

But at this time, Evergreen had already taken off her glasses.

"Stone Eyes!"

Evergreen directly activated Stone Magic on Lucy.

This magic could turn anyone who made eye contact with her into stone within an instant.

"Lucy, don't make eye contact with her!"

Seeing Evergreen make a move on Lucy, Makarov shouted loudly.

And at this time, Evergreen's eyes suddenly lit up.

Hum—

Just as Lucy was about to be turned into stone, Evergreen's body was frozen into an ice sculpture.

"This is..."

Makarov looked at this sudden change, and his old face was suddenly shocked.

Soon he noticed that Following Ye Yu on the side was spreading his palms toward Evergreen, and Following Ye Yu's palms were emitting bone-chilling cold air.

"Was it Following Ye Yu who made the move?"

Makarov looked at Following Ye Yu, and his heart also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just at this moment, a golden lightning bolt descended from the sky and crashed onto the stage.

"How embarrassing, Evergreen, you failed before you even made a move!"

Laxus looked at Evergreen, who was frozen into an ice sculpture beside him, and said with a playful expression.

Although Laxus looked very calm on the surface, he was very angry in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to let Evergreen turn Erza and the others into stone, and then use Erza and the others as hostages to force the people in the guild to fight.

But right now, before she could turn anyone else into stone, she was turned into stone by someone else.

In this way, his plan could be considered disrupted.

"Laxus, what exactly do you want to do?"

Makarov stared at Laxus on the stage and scolded sternly.

But regarding Makarov's scolding, Laxus acted as if he hadn't heard it; he was staring at Gray.

"Ice-element Magic, was it Gray who made the move?"

"That shouldn't be right; this guy's magic power hasn't reached the level of instantly freezing Evergreen!"

After negating Gray, Laxus's gaze looked at others again.

Soon, he noticed Following Ye Yu.

Seeing the cold air around Following Ye Yu, Laxus grinned.

"Is it you again?"
