@Nick: lol, the set of conditions I gave is just an example. Laxus could have used something far simpler. Nobody can move or attack in this barrier unless somebody uses an MBP nullifier strong enough to cure Laxus. Much easier?

And this is all possible only if Laxus' condition is known to anybody other than Gray, which I doubt. I think I've already mentioned how stupid Laxus is for not telling others about this. ._./

Nah, I definitely didn't find this fight brilliant, but it's way better than most people think. And, imo, by far one of the best Chapters in this arc. ^_^"

@Wrath:
 * I... don't think you got my point. That was just an example. I gave Nick another example of a possible set of conditons.
 * I'm not making any assumptions in the Jutsu Shiki. From the way I understood it, Laxus created a barrier which proves detrimental for Wahl and the fastest way to nullfy it is using an MBP nullifier strong enough to cure Laxus. You asked me how that is possible, so I just gave examples. ._./
 * Laxus mentioned that the caliber of the Mage is also important. I don't think there's anybody in Ishgar who can nullify MBP and is as powerful as Wahl.
 * If Wahl had analyzed it, why wouldn't he have dispelled it? You forget that he is in his Assault Mode, he is suffering from system errors due to surpassing the time-limit, his sole target is Laxus and his sole motive is to kill Laxus as fast as possible. His analyses do not show a chain of events, they show weaknesses. The weakness of the barrier is an MBP nullifier. The effect on Laxus would not be mentioned because it is not required for the task. Now, if Wahl is in his right mind, he could definitely make the link. But he's not. These tasks are trivial as compared to killing Laxus. He obviously does not pay attention to them.
 * We got a flashback of Laxus learning about his grandfather, I... don't really think it's much of a speculation that he learnt some of his moves during the time-skip. Our views obviously differ here.
 * And there's also Breakdown Voltage. How exactly is it fine for Gajeel to obtain victory by moving up the scale, but not for Laxus to surpass the breakdown voltage, especially when we actually got to see how his power has been boosted? A perfect insulator doesn't exist. Increase the voltage and, at some point, it'll give. But that's not even the point here. Gajeel used a purely physical attack, while Laxus used an attack that depends on explosive force besides electricity. And we already saw that Wahl was not able to completely defend against Laxus' physical attacks.
