Fairy Tail: I don't want to be the president

Chapter 204 Helping out
Roca was shocked: "That woman is so strong! She can fight with Brother Bugs to this extent."

Ha ha.

Rhode held the pendant and sent the other monsters back: "Summon, Crimson Mark Tree Monster!"

"Hey, what are you going to do?"

"Help us out, this is a team competition, have you forgotten?" Rhode pointed at Erza as a matter of course, "Crown of Embers!"

Red light appeared around Erza, contrasting with the blue light patterns that were already there.

Rhodes felt the speed of magic power loss and recovery, and felt like he was doing a primary school student's math problem of draining and catching water.

After a simple calculation, Rhodes was actually a little moved. It wasn't easy. He could finally incorporate this big guy into regular battles instead of using it as a burst skill!
No, that's not rigorous. It can barely be included in regular combat.

Rod pointed at Bugs and said, "Beat him!"

The tree monster stretched out its limbs and ran, and its speed was obviously faster than the golem.

Bugs noticed the movement here and asked in surprise: "Lorca?"

Roca raised one hand in a very bachelor manner: "Brother, I lost."

Baggs found it a little unbelievable. Roca was not weak at all, otherwise the president would not have arranged him to be his assistant.

It was resolved so quickly?
"You'd better be careful, otherwise Rhodes will give you a surprise." Erza felt the swelling and pain in her shoulder quickly subsiding. A long sword appeared in her right hand and she swung the two swords at Baggs again.

"Surprise? You mean the big guy?" Bugs swayed left and right to dodge Erza's slash.

The tree monster had already arrived in front of him, and its claws swept towards Baggs with a strong wind - one of the ways to restrain one's body movements well is to have a large enough attack range.

"This kind of thing...Drunken Pi Gua Palm!"

Baggs' right palm seemed to be filled with magical light and hit the tree monster's palm hard.

Bang!
There was a dull sound like thunder, and it seemed that the ground was shaking slightly.

"What?" Baggs' purple arm armor was shattered, and he was knocked back several steps by the tree monster's power, his right arm trembling slightly.

He felt the tingling sensation on his arm: "What is this power...?"

"Ah~" The tree monster also roared, its palm exploded, countless wood chips flew, and its left forelimb was like a big tree that had suffered a heavy blow.

The tree monster's defense is slightly inferior to that of the golem, but its speed and attack power are much greater than many others.

"Give up, Bugs!" Erza's two swords slashed down from top to bottom at the same time.

"It's still early!" Baggs raised his palms, magic power gathered in his palms, and he was actually going to use his bare palms to fight against the sharp blade.

boom!
The sword blade hit his palm, making a sound of blunt force impact. The ground beneath Baggs' feet shattered, indicating the power of the blow.

Bugs wanted to say that although Erza's Flying Armor was fast, it lacked power.

But at this time, the red light on Erza's body had already attached to the blade like a flame.

Bugs felt a similar tingling sensation in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, the armor on his left arm exploded, and the injury on his right arm worsened, making it impossible for him to resist Erza's attack anymore.

The blade fell and stopped at the tip of Bugs' nose.

Bugs closed his eyes, then smiled carefreely and fell to the ground: "Haha, I lost."

Erza returned to her normal attire and smiled, "It's not that I beat you, it's that we beat you."

Baggs found his wine gourd, and his arms were shaking a little when he drank. "This is a headache. I'm going to be nagged by the old man when I go back."

Rhodes came over and pointed at Bugs before sending the tree monster back: "Crown of Embers."

Bugs felt the discomfort in his arm slowly subside. "What is this kind of magic... called? Never mind."

If you can't remember, then don't think about it. Bugs said to Erza: "You have a great partner." Erza smiled: "I think so too."

"Thank you for the compliment." Rhodes tried hard to control his expression. Hahaha, it's okay to get a few more compliments.

Roca came over, rubbing his swollen face, and said aggrievedly: "Why don't you help me get treatment too?"

"Sorry, this magic can only be used on two people in a short period of time." Rhodes said, "He looks seriously injured."

"Okay, Roca, now that the winner has been decided, let's go back." Baggs said, "I look forward to fighting you next time."

Rhode said: "Generally speaking, shouldn't you stay and listen to our instructions and help us complete the mission before leaving?"

"Ah?" Bugs didn't know if he was really drunk or pretending to be drunk. "It's not impossible to use it as a punishment for the loser... But do you really want us to interfere with this mission?"

From Rhode's selfish point of view, there is nothing wrong with having more S-level fighters, but from the perspective of the guild, it is better to let their own people handle it.

Erza felt the same way: "We'll see each other again someday."

Having a fight and eliminating a distraction factor should be considered a good thing for completing the mission.

Blame it on the president looking for trouble, so Rhodes decided to go back and collude with Mira to persecute him, such as adding some chili oil to his wine or something.

Bugs and Roca say goodbye and leave.

Erza and Rod rested for a while before starting to look for clues again.

After walking a few steps, Rhodes suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no! I forgot to ask for compensation!"

"compensation?"

"Yes, the shoulder armor of your Flying Armor and the two Sky Wheel Swords are all damaged, right?" Rhodes said, "Is the mission reward enough for you to repair your armor and replenish your weapons?"

"The price of simple repairs is not that expensive." Erza calculated and said, "Today's losses, tens of thousands of J are enough."

"That's indeed not expensive..." Rhodes realized that he was getting carried away. His monthly salary as a part-time worker was only 12 J, but now he felt that repairing armor and weapons with tens of thousands of J was not expensive.

Erza's knight magic is not something that ordinary people can afford, but receiving magic is pretty good.

The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation.

The sun gradually set, the weather became more gloomy and cold, and a thin layer of fog rose on the ground.

Slowly, the fog thickened and began to obscure the two people's vision.

"Rod." Erza reminded.

"Yeah." Rhodes nodded to show that he understood.

There was something wrong with the fog. It felt like there was a vague sight staring at them through the thick fog.

Rhodes and Erza leaned against each other, one on the left and one on the right, alert for possible attacks at any time.

Rhodes called back the two river crabs, and they followed him about three meters away, one in front and one behind. They could not be seen at all if they were farther away.

The razor-beaked birds were scattered at the limit of the two river crabs' field of vision. Due to their limited vision, they could only conduct physical reconnaissance and vigilance.

Suddenly, two red lights appeared in the thick fog, and a raptor bird cried sadly and disappeared.

Erza immediately rushed over, but the attacker had already disappeared.

"Feathers all over the sky!"

Rhodes commanded the razor-beaked birds to scatter feather knives around, but he did not get the desired response. He could only hear the slight sound of feathers sticking into the soil.

"Zha~" Another razor-beaked bird cried and disappeared. With the help of the river crab's vision, Rhodes only saw a black shadow flash by.

"Human figure, with the outline of armor." Rhodes said the information he got in a short period of time.
