Gray and Elfman tried to step out of the door and walked back without being affected at all.

The two looked at each other and nodded. They grabbed the president's shoulders and arms respectively. One pushed inside and the other pulled outside. They were not polite to the president at all.

The old man was made to float in the air by the two people. His whole body was stuck to the barrier formed by the technique, but he could not even stretch out a finger.

"Stop! Stop!" Makarov asked the two unreliable children to let him go. "This is a magic technique. Even I can't force it open from the inside."

The two men let go of the president and asked him to keep his feet on the ground.

Elfman complained: "Is this Freed's magic? Even the old man can't do it. Is he that strong?"

"Because the rules of the spell are absolute, and as a trap, it is an excellent magic in itself." Makarov thought for a moment, "But the spell magic itself is very difficult to learn, and Fried was actually able to write it.

The dual magic of material restrictions and age restrictions has far exceeded the level of most magic wizards!"

Freed seldom appeared in the guild, and the last time he came back was half a year ago. As a result, everyone in the guild didn't know enough about him, and even Makarov didn't know much about his strength.

I didn't expect it to be so strong.

To break the spell, only someone who also uses this kind of magic can rewrite it.

But the president also said that it is a kind of magic that is difficult to learn, and it is even harder to be proficient enough to rewrite Fried's technique.

If Lebby hadn't been petrified, there might still be hope. No one else present had done any research on that kind of thing.

"In this case, the old man will not be able to participate in the war, and the stone statue will not be able to be sent to Granny Porlyusica." Gray looked at the remaining people in the guild.

When I saw Rhodes, Mira, Elfman, and Natsu who had just gotten up, I felt a little more at ease. Not to mention the many companions outside, these remaining people in the guild were still capable of fighting.

"Damn Laxus, don't even think about escaping!" Natsu jumped up and immediately became lively and noisy, wanting to go out to settle the score with Laxus.

Gray raised an arm to dissuade him: "Calm down, Natsu, it's already chaotic outside! Let's first listen to what the president and Rhodes have to say."

"Oh." Natsu actually stopped obediently.

But as soon as Gray lowered his arm, he immediately showed a proud smile, and immediately started running towards the door: "Ah hahahaha——I will go and defeat Laxus now, I must be the strongest in the guild,————

—-Cry!

There was a bang, and Natsu hit the invisible wall just like the president.

Words flashed in mid-air, it was the same rule as before: "Stone statues and people over 80 years old are prohibited from entering or exiting."

"Why?!" Natsu tried his best to push forward, flattening his cheeks, but he still couldn't move forward one step.

Everyone in the guild was surprised. Are there any other restrictions? But that was the only rule that emerged.

Gray had a headache and said, "You guy, what are you playing at this time?"

"How do I know?!" Natsu smashed his fist against the wall, only to get cryptic words out.

Happy flew over and said in shock: "Natsu, are you over 80 years old?"

"How is that possible!" Natsu retorted loudly, but when he looked at the other condition, he was shocked and asked, "Am I a stone statue?"

Elfman denied: "Although the stone statue is very manly, it is obviously impossible."

"Jiheehee—" - It's so useless, Fire Dragon." Gajeel threw the remaining spoon handle into his mouth, supported the table with one hand, and landed gracefully across the table, "Since the Fire Dragon is of no use, then

It’s up to me.”

This guy has always disliked Natsu, and would offend him with every word he said.

"Asshole, who are you calling useless!" Natsu wanted to fight with him on the spot.

Gray grabbed Natsu's neck to prevent him from messing around. Elfman tried to dissuade him: "You should calm down first."

Elfman thinks he should listen to his brother-in-law,

"Hee-" Gajeel turned back and glanced at Rhodes, "Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to help, so I won't listen to the instructions of any 'strategist'. I just happened to have a problem with that yellow-haired boy."

"Is it in line with the guild rules to beat him up now? It just happens to be settled together with the previous score." Gajeel walked forward as he spoke, "You just have to watch carefully and--poof!"

However, like Natsu, he ran into an invisible wall and was unable to take a step outside the guild.

Everyone was surprised again: "Huh?"

"Why?"

"Gajeel too?"

Only Natsu burst into laughter: "Ah hahaha! You can't get out! You're a useless guy!"

The words he just said were thrown back, and Gajeel suppressed his blush.

He smashed the 'wall' angrily: 'What the hell is going on?'

When Wo Lian, Lucky, Lidas and others saw this, they also gave it a try. No matter whether they were going out or coming back, they were not hindered in any way.

Rhodes was originally worried about how to calculate his age, but after trying it, there was no problem.

Then there can only be something wrong with Natsu and Gajeel.

Those two guys didn't look like they were over 80 years old, let alone stone statues.

Their most prominent feature is the Dragon Slayer. Did Freed secretly put restrictions on this aspect?

But there is no time to think about this now, because new words appeared in the air at the guild gate.

"Arzac vs Sarusuk vs Troy."

"Victor, Alzhak."

"Sarusuk and Troy have lost their ability to fight."

"The remaining number of people in Fairy Tail: 82."

Everyone was stunned for a moment and thought about who Sarusuk was for a few seconds, and finally realized that it seemed to be Jet's original name.

He was always called by nicknames, and I almost forgot what his original name was.

Makarov frowned: "Is this a battle briefing? Why did the three of them fight?"

"Joy vs King."

"The winner, the king."

"Here we go again, why does Joey want to fight the king?" Mira was very confused.

The relationship between Joey and Wang Qiangji is somewhat similar to that of Macao Wakaba. Although they usually fight, they mostly sit together and drink.

Especially at this critical moment, it stands to reason that it should not be ordered in-house.

"Krov vs Nicky."

"Both sides lost their ability to fight at the same time."

"The remaining number of people in Fairy Tail: 79."

In Rhode's impression, Croft and Nicky were two people who usually had a pretty good relationship, and they even tried to prank him together.

A guy with thick teeth and a mushroom head, Rhodes has no grudges at all.

People who usually have a good relationship suddenly started fighting at this juncture, and some even fought to the point where both sides were hurt. This must not have been their intention.

"I'm afraid there is some reason why we have to fight—no, maybe it's because of our good relationship that we started fighting."

Rhodes looked at the spell floating in front of the door and remembered what he had seen Fried in the morning: "In the worst case scenario, Fried may have laid many spells in Magnolia.

It is precisely because they have a good relationship that they act together and enter into the same art.

The rules set by the technique may be 'Only the winner can walk out', or more strictly, 'Only one party can walk out after losing consciousness'."

Someone who is more impatient may directly attack their companions, someone who is soft-hearted may sacrifice themselves and let their friends go out, and someone who is calmer——

There are no calm people, and those who can keep a little calm are still in the guild.

This makes sense why Laxus dared to bring three people against the entire guild, and why he told Rhodes that it didn't matter how many people he brought to find him.

This guy's goal is to use Freed's magic to select people who are strong enough. They may have to go through a second round of screening by the Thunder Gods before they can be 'qualified' to fight him.

The large number of spells that Fried had arranged in advance gave him the confidence to do so.

Others cannot detect the existence of the spell before stepping into the trap, but they know the location of the trap well and can use the spell to reap benefits, or simply use some strange traps to fight.

Under such rules, the number of people is naturally meaningless to Laxus.

"Stop it, stop it quickly, you stupid brats!" Makarov stamped his feet anxiously. This was not an ordinary fight, but a self-killing act that he was forced to commit in order to save his companions who had turned into stone statues.

In this situation, whether it is the person who is hurt by his companion or the person who has no choice but to hurt his companion, he will not feel good.

But the person who suffered the most was, of course, Makarov, who watched the children kill each other and watched Lagerthas do whatever he wanted, but he couldn't stop him.

His body swelled, and his fist became larger and slammed against the wall next to the door.

The wall shattered with a bang, but the huge fist could not get past the wall at all.

Freed's technique naturally surrounded the entire guild.

"Wolian, use your magic immediately to tell the people outside about Laxus's intentions, and ask them to be careful of traps and not to gather together.
