Chapter 44: Nate vs Laxus
Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Nate vs LaxusThe Next Morning
After breaking the evil barrier and completing the mission, Nate and the others were ready to leave Galuna Island. The village chief, Moka, led a group of villagers to see them off.
"We are truly grateful, Nate-san, Erza-san, Juvia-san!"
"Bobo, make sure to safely escort our benefactors to the port of Hargeon," the village chief said, shaking Nate's hand repeatedly in gratitude.
This time, they didn't charge for the job—it was a free follow-up service, greatly increasing the villagers' appreciation for him.
"There won't be any more issues this time. The evil aura won't return, so you can rest easy," Nate said, waving to the villagers.
Just as they were about to board the ship to return to Hargeon, Bobo, their boatman, looked confused and asked, "Uh, Nate-san, you came with four people, but you're leaving with only three? Isn't someone missing?"
Nate: "..."
Erza: "..."
Juvia: "..."
The three of them froze in shock.
"Where's Laxus?" Erza exclaimed, surprised.
Last night, they stayed in the village, but it seemed like they hadn't seen Laxus since then.
"Could he be lost?" Juvia asked, hitting the nail on the head. "It seems like he didn't know where the village was."
"I'll go find him," Nate said as he lifted off the ground, slowly floating into the air.
He had brought Laxus along, so of course, he couldn't just leave him behind.
Fortunately, Galuna Island wasn't that large, so finding a person wasn't too difficult.
Rising a few hundred meters above the island, Nate used his Six Eyes to scan the entire island in an instant.
He saw...
A deer playing in the woods.
Monkeys jumping from tree to tree in the forest.
A snake lurking in the bushes.
A bird perched on a branch, preening its feathers.
Nate's vision encompassed the entire island, capturing all the information with his Six Eyes.
Finally, on the western coast, near a rocky outcrop, he spotted Laxus.
Laxus was fast asleep against a rock, with a burned-out campfire and some fish bones scattered beside him.
"Found him," Nate muttered before flying off toward Laxus.
Juvia looked up at Nate and shouted, "Wait for me, Nate-sama!" She quickly followed after him.
Seeing this, Erza turned to the villagers and said, "I'm sorry for the delay. Please wait a little longer while we retrieve our companion."
With that, she followed Juvia.
The villagers looked at each other in confusion, scratching their heads.
The village chief banged his cane on the ground and shouted, "What are you all standing around for? Our benefactor is missing! Go help find him!"
"Yes, Chief!" The villagers sprang into action, with many sprouting demonic wings to
At that moment, Juvia and Erza arrived, just in time to witness the scene.
Seeing the two fighting, they were initially shocked, but then both let out sighs of relief when they saw it was Laxus being sent flying.
"Nate-sama!" Juvia called out happily.
Nate, however, ignored the onlookers, floating a few meters off the ground as he watched Laxus pull himself up from the sand. With a faint smile, Nate remarked,
"You have no chance of winning—not even one in ten thousand."
"Why don't you try your strongest magic?"
"Fairy Law!"
