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

Chapter 239 Rift Herald
Rhodes' description of the Rift Herald made Makarov very uneasy.

As the creatures he summoned became increasingly powerful and bizarre, Makarov felt it necessary to find a larger, less populated area.

So he led Rhodes to the northwest, bypassing the small hill where the girls' dormitory was located and leaving the city of Magnolia.

We walked all the way to the north where there were mountains and lakes before we stopped.

There are few people or even animals in this place, so even if you make some noise, you don't have to pay compensation.

Anticipating that summoning the Rift Herald would consume a lot of mana, Rhodes made some preparations in advance.

First summon two river crabs and let them run around to make sure there are no outsiders approaching.

Then summon the Blue Carved Golem, add the Crown of Insight to yourself, and keep it until your magic power is fully restored before letting the river crab and the golem go back.

In this way, the effect of the latest Crown of Insight can last for about two minutes, which is roughly equivalent to having an extra tube of blue.

But it's not possible to recover all at once.

Makarov watched him busying around without saying much, just helping to set up some defensive measures as before.

Although he felt that the chance of using it was slim, it would be nice to make the child feel more at ease.

As the chant was completed, Rhodes' face turned pale, which was a sign of losing a large amount of magic power in an instant.

This time, his magic power was almost completely drained.

Purple light gathered on the ground ahead, and Makarov and Rhodes heard a roar.

The sound is like both an insect and a snake.

Then a huge purple monster appeared, shook its body, roared towards the sky, and stood still quietly.

I always feel that the body structure of this thing is somewhat similar to that of a river crab.

However, unlike river crabs, it has a pair of hard-shell wings, a long tail, a single horn on its head, and is much larger than river crabs.

If the river crab is a car, then this one is a heavy truck.

Rift Herald, commonly known as Pioneer, Dragon Son, Big River Crab, etc.

Since LOL is a tower-destroying game (probably), and the most important function of the Rift Herald is to help destroy defense towers, it is a very important strategic wild monster in the game.

In addition, the new version of the Rift Herald allows people to jump on its back and quickly charge and knock away enemies.

This thing is quite popular because the operation and special effects make it look like a veteran driver is driving - who can resist showing off their shrimp catching skills in a fighting game?

After the summon matured, Rhodes made brief contact with the Rift Herald and obtained some brief information.

As for the actual effect, it depends on him to figure it out.

Makarov looked at Rhodes's face and asked with concern: "How is your magic power?"

"It won't last long. Let's test its power and then retreat." Rhodes pointed to the desolate hillside next to him and said, "Tear it down!"

The Vanguard roared and stood up, as if gathering strength. Then his wings vibrated slightly, and he charged towards the hill with purple light and shadow.

Bang~~~~
The Rift Herald crashed headfirst into the hillside, making a thunderous sound.

The place where the hillside was hit made a loud bang, as if explosives were installed, and countless large and small rocks flew out.

The defensive magic circle set up by Makarov lit up, blocking the stones thrown at the two.

"What amazing destructive power!" Makarov exclaimed.

From his perspective, he could see that the cracks on the mountain spread from the impact point, extending downward to the ground, upward to the top of the mountain, and spreading to both sides to almost the entire mountain.

If he turned into a giant and punched the hill, he might be able to cause the same commotion, but it would be difficult to destroy it so 'evenly'.

This monster, called the Rift Herald, seemed to be attacking with the intention of destroying the entire mountain.

Since the order was to 'dismantle', the Vanguard did not stop after the collision and raised its giant pincers to smash the impact site hard.

There was another burst of flying debris, and the hillside seemed to shake. The cracks on the mountain became more dense, and more debris rolled down the hillside. "Stop!" Rhodes hurriedly called for a stop. If it happened a few more times, the hill would really be gone.

The Rift Herald stopped and retracted the raised pliers, highlighting an excellent quality of disciplining orders.

Makarov sighed and said, "Let's just tear it down. It's more dangerous now."

"That's right, then..." Rhodes' face looked ugly and he really couldn't hold it in any longer.

Although the effect of the Crown of Insight is still there, its recovery cannot keep up with the consumption.

After the Rift Herald added another pair of pliers, its figure became illusory and finally disappeared.

The good news is that after it disappeared, the magic power recovery speed became obvious.

Looking at the crumbling hillside, Rhodes said shyly, "How about you come? You can wait for me for a few more minutes."

"There's really nothing I can do." Makarov's body swelled up and his huge fist smashed on the mountain.

The already shaky hillside collapsed with a loud rumble, turning into a pile of rubble, and the nearby ground shook.

Dust was flying everywhere, and the place where the two were standing was covered with a layer of yellowish-brown fog.

Rhodes covered his mouth and nose, and the next second he was grabbed by the president's big hand and lifted up from the height of most of the dust.

Makarov took Rod out of the dust range and returned to his normal size.

The old man had a happy smile on his face: "I suddenly feel better, let's go back!"

Oh, my mood improved after I collapsed a hill. Are you also a restless and destructive person?
Rhodes summoned the river crab and returned to the guild with the president.

On the way, Makarov asked curiously: "What will be summoned next time?"

"Maybe it's a dragon."

"Dragon?" Makarov remembered the rumors on the day he picked up Rod. It was said that someone saw a dragon hovering over the forest.

"I'm not sure if it's the same concept as the dragon Natsu is looking for. I'll know after I work hard for a few more months."

It is still unknown how long it will take to turn the Rift Herald into a regular combat force, and it will probably take at least a few months before the little dragon appears.

This is because of the existence of the blue buff, which can greatly reduce the mana required to turn new wild monsters into regular combat forces.

Makarov remained silent. Dragon Slayer, Dragon...

In a few months?

What kind of big event will happen?

"President, Rhodes, you are finally back. Sister Mira has been waiting for you for a long time."

"What's going on?" Makarov asked.

"It's the Sakura Festival, the Sakura Festival!" Laqi said, "The day after tomorrow is the Sakura Festival, so we have to start preparing today."

"It's that time again!" Makarov became excited, "Should we start the party today?"

"Your mood changes so quickly..." Rhodes just saw that the president looked worried.

"Of course!" said Makarov.
“As the saying goes, there are always unexpected events. Sometimes we can easily complete the task and get a high reward, but sometimes we have to fight for our lives for a meager reward.

It is the tradition of wizards not to give up on a mission easily. But no matter how worried you are now, tomorrow will definitely come.

Therefore, as a wizard, you can neither slack off in your daily practice, nor ignore today's happiness.

No matter what happens tomorrow, we will keep this in mind and move forward bravely. "

Makarov stretched out his hand, with his index finger pointing upwards and his thumb extended, with a kind smile on his face:
"Only in this way can you be considered a Fairy Tail wizard."
