hats off to minerva. she's on a league of her own. the only thing i am seeing her losing to laxus is in terms of brute strength. i say that the moment minerva traps laxus inside her seemingly no chance of escaping territory, hes done for. but as a fan of laxus as well, hes more better than that. however, i just cant see him beat down minerva. yes, laxus is a beast but minerva is cunning. another is, lightning is just.. lightning. while space is space. she can change its properties to however she wants to. she can appear and reappear in a different location. her magic offers superb versatility while laxus purely relies on brute strength. yes, laxus can be quick with his lightning body but things would go on a different turn since territory makes everything minerva sees as a target. she can launch multiple attacks as well. when laxus had his fight with jura, he shown signs of exhaustion after he used roaring thunder while minerva released yagdo rigora, which is obviously in a much grander and powerful scale against his secret art, minerva didnt even sweat and still remained graceful afterwards. and fairy law? maybe when he used it by the time minerva brutalized lucy then yes, that wouldve beat her but no. as much as i love laxus, winning against minerva is just too impossible. brains over brawls. though to be fair, this will be a very long battle.
