Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Laxus' Surprise
A round of shooting is over. Luo Yun looked at the charred Beastmaster with a dissatisfied expression.
"You can still stand."
"Afterwards, the research on purity should be strengthened... Forget it, let's have a good time first."
"Crazy shooting."
Numerous smoke avatars of Luo Yun were once again located in every position they could see and raised their pistols at the motionless Beastmaster.
———————
In the outskirts of the western jungle, on the outskirts of the dense forest.
Laxus and the Thunderlords are heading for the depths of the jungle.
"Don't you think it's weird?"
Freed said while holding his chin.
"It's been walking for so long, and I haven't even seen a single monster."
"Although there used to be a president in this area, the monsters in the wild have indeed subsided a lot over the years, but I can't see any of them, which is a bit strange."
Evergreen adjusted his glasses.
"Did you hear the sound like electric current flowing just now?"
"It seems to be in the direction ahead of us, or is it just that I heard it wrong?"
——"It's probably because you heard it wrong. How could anyone in that area dare to go there and wait to die?"
"Besides, Laxus is here, and he is the only one who can use the magic of the thunder element to counter that kind of monster."
Laxus remained silent and didn't say anything. Just as he was about to interrupt the conversation between the two, suddenly, in front of their eyes, a group of extremely majestic and vast thunder burst out deep in the dense forest!
"Crack——!"
The strong white light brightened the black and yellow soil here by three points, and the echoes caused by the collision and agitation of the thunder points were clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
Even though the volume was not loud, the lingering sound reverberated among the trees was extremely thick.
Even though they are far apart, everyone can still clearly feel the strength of the magic power there.
"Boom!!!"
After the thunder, there was a loud noise accompanied by a violent but brief earthquake.
After this abrupt riot ended, everything was as calm as before, as if nothing had happened.
"Tsk. Come on! Go and see the situation!"
Under the order of Laxus, the Thunder Gods rushed all the way to the deeper jungle area, intending to find out.
However, within three to five minutes, Laxus and the Thunder Gods saw the two newcomers who had joined the guild during this time.
A red-haired girl and a boy who didn't look like a mage at all were walking towards him, looking quite relaxed, as if they didn't know anything about the battle that just happened here.
It was Erza and Luo Yun they met.
"Why are you here?! Don't you know what kind of monsters are there? Get out of here!"
Bickslow unceremoniously warned the two in front of him, his tone full of admonitions from the elders to the newcomers.
"Well, we were going to leave, you don't need to rush."
Luo Yun led Erza while walking and replied:
"We came here only after receiving the commission. The commission recipient and the commission location are public. I don't know if it's your problem."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Saying that, the two walked away, looking at Luo Yun's expression, it seemed that he didn't pay much attention to the Thunder Gods and Laxus at all.
Veins were already popping up on Freed's face.
"It's okay to disrespect us, but to disrespect Laxus..."
"The current rookies really don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, so they must teach them a lesson!"
Laxus waved his hand with a slightly serious expression.
"Let's put aside the education of newcomers. It's important to figure out what happened to the lightning strike just now."
"Freed, have you forgotten what I said before. For the time being, everything should focus on entrusting tasks."
——"Yes... I didn't think carefully!"
Freed hastily bowed down and apologized to Laxus.
The other two members didn't think Freed was sycophanting. Flattery, because they all respect and adore Laxus's charisma at heart.
Several people continued to rush forward, and it didn't take long for Laxus to take the lead to push through the blackened bushes. He couldn't believe his eyes.
"This is... Beastmaster?!"
The gigantic beast lying in front of him that was as tall as his belly alone was their target no matter how they looked at it.
That huge body, exaggerated physique, horrifying muscles, and the iron rod that fell out of its hand on its side, no matter how you look at it, it is the beast king in Laxus' impression.
The members of the Thunder God who rushed over immediately saw the giant beast in front of them, and their jaws almost fell to the ground.
"This kind of monster was actually solved by someone? How is this possible?"
The western jungle of Magnolia Harbor is too far away from the other Magisters' Guilds. No matter what, no one can imagine who would come here to get rid of such a big monster.
Snatching commissions not only damages the friendly relationship between guilds, but also leads to very low remuneration due to high shipping costs. It is difficult to be solved by level wizards playing their full strength.
Even the powerful magic of "Rain of Light" by President Makarov didn't wipe it out completely, let alone how much time it would take for a young mage like Laxus to deal with him.
Laxus leaned closer to the monster, staring at the scorched and blackened skin of the monster, his expression becoming more and more astonished.
"How can it be..."
"Laxus, have you discovered anything new?"
"This is very powerful thunder elemental magic. Although the level of magic is not high, but it can destroy the body of this beast king to such an extent... This man's magic power is absolutely extraordinary."
A cold sweat rolled down Laxus' spine.
"You may not know that the reason why the Beastmaster is difficult to deal with is because it has extremely strong magic resistance, and ordinary pure magic is simply a tickle for him."
"And its physical strength is no small matter. If it is a physical attack, even President Makarov's gigantic attack can't do anything to it."
"In my opinion, to be able to defeat it like this is not so much a strong man, but rather dozens of powerful wizards attacking it together."
——"What? Which guild can gather so many wizards who are proficient in lightning magic?"
"This is impossible...so there must be a master of thunder element magic near our guild."
Laxus bit his lip, looking rather reconciled.
He usually boasted that his Thunder Dragon Slayer magic was extremely powerful, but now he found that there was such a strong man in the folk who was similar to himself in magic, and the magic power was obviously higher than his own, which obviously made him a little ashamed.
