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

Chapter 245 Tear it down!
"Gold...Golden Shield!"

A shield appeared in Lastiros' left hand again, successfully blocking the feather flying knife.

But it was obvious that the shield materialized much slower than before.

"Black Sword!"

After making sure that he had blocked the attack, Lastiros swung his right hand again and split the stone beetle underground into two halves.

By the time he removed the shield, Rhodes had disappeared.

"Dark rat, have you gone underground again?"

Lastiros planned to materialize a giant pangolin and dig Rhodes out.

But a dark shadow on the ground attracted his attention. He looked up suddenly and saw that the ugly guy actually jumped into the air!

When he saw the figure clearly, dark purple venom had already sprayed down on his head.

"Oh no!" Lastiros could only raise his shield in a hurry.

The bone-gnawing pain was distracting him, and he was now unable to complete an effective manifestation in an instant!

Zizzi~~
“Ahhh…” Lastiros screamed, his expression became ferocious, and he pressed his right hand on the ground, “The pain… stimulates my imagination, the thorn hell!”

boo boo boo...

Densely packed steel spikes emerged from the ground, each more than one meter high, spreading out for one or two kilometers with Lastiros as the center.

As soon as Rhodes fell down, he would be pierced into a sieve.

but……

Rhodes' body shape changed, and his arms turned into wings, stopping his falling trend.

"Tsk..." Lastiros remembered that this person could fly like him, "In that case, he will become Kuliba's food!"

Rhodes circled in the air and shot feather knives at Lastiros.

And Lastiros's arc of manifestation was completed, and a giant steel bird like a pterosaur appeared beside him.

Kuliba flapped its wings and swept the feather knife down. When its master jumped onto its back, the giant bird took off into the sky.

"Chirp~" The giant bird made an unpleasant cry and opened its mouth full of sharp teeth to pounce on Rhodes.

Unfortunately, without the blessing of the Crown of Embers, the feather throwing knife can only pierce a layer of iron sheet at most, and it is difficult to hurt Kuliba.

Rhodes turned and fled, but found that his flying speed was not as fast as the opponent.

"Fall through the sky, goblin!"

Kuliba flapped his wings and was about to bite Rhodes with his mouth.

However, Rhodes suddenly changed direction and turned back at a very exaggerated angle, drawing a beautiful arc under the giant bird to avoid the pursuit.

This is a trick he learned when playing flying hide-and-seek with the harpy. The smaller harpy likes to use this trick to avoid the larger Rod.

Two figures, one big and one small, were chasing each other in the air.

The Razorbeak that was summoned earlier came to assist in the attack, but was accidentally hit by Kuliba's steel claws and disappeared.

Rhodes changed direction flexibly, waiting for an opportunity to attack Lastiros on the bird's back with a feather throwing knife.

Lastiros materialized a shotgun and shot at Rhodes from time to time.

During the chase, Rod accidentally noticed that Elfman was already fighting with the enemy, and the number of them was... at least a hundred.

I have to hurry and meet up with Elfman.

But if I fly over, I won’t be able to get rid of this guy at all... Should I defeat him completely here?
boom!
"Ugh..." A bullet pierced Rhodes' wing, and a few feathers fell from the air with blood.

Rhodes' flying speed and flexibility dropped sharply.

The giant bird opened its mouth, then closed it with a clang, biting Rhodes in its mouth.

"The flying fairy was buried in Kuliba's mouth, blood was spilled, feathers fell, what a sad and beautiful picture!"

Rhodes felt that this person must not have read Journey to the West.

"Receive Scarlet Marked Tree Monster!" Rhodes' body suddenly grew in size, and his entire body seemed to be wrapped in vines, turning into a tree man, with a bright red ball of light shining on his chest.

The light of the Crown of Embers reappeared around Rhodes, and the wounds on his arms and shoulders stopped bleeding at an unusual speed.

Compared to Rod's current size, the space in Couliba's mouth seems a bit narrow.

The giant bird tried hard to swallow. In Lastiros's imagination, there was a strong acid in Kuliba's stomach that could melt a person.

Rhodes estimated the position, swung his right hand, and his sharp claws with red flames easily cut Kuliba's esophagus from the inside and stabbed Lastiros on the bird's back.

"What... the dark sword!"

The silhouette of the giant bird disappeared, and the two men fought head-on in mid-air and fell in two directions respectively.

Rhodes' palm was bleeding from the stab wound, and there were several bleeding wounds on Lastiros' arm.

Although it was an air battle just now, it was mostly a small-scale fight, so we were unable to fly too far beyond the previous battlefield.

At this time, the dense steel spikes on the ground have not disappeared yet.

Rhodes had no choice but to use the tree monster's own wood magic to make a large number of vines grow quickly on the ground, interspersed between the steel thorns, to form a platform for him to stand on.

However, the moment he landed, Rhodes realized that something was wrong.

Because Lastiros did not land on the ground, but instead small white wings grew on his feet, and he opened his arms in mid-air, posing as if to cast magic.

"Come out, Tower of Dingill! Let the foolish goblins drown in their sorrow and return to dust!"

Rhodes suddenly found himself unable to move.

Without him noticing, his body had been fixed in the stone wall and was rising along with the wall.

Even after receiving the tree monster's possession, he was unable to break free!

Rhodes immediately cancelled the receiving magic, but he was unable to escape by shrinking his body.

He immediately took in the ancient stone beetle, but soon discovered that this form was also unable to use earth magic to swim out of the wall.

The wall continued to rise, and a magnificent tower gradually took shape. Lastiros shouted to him triumphantly:
"Give up! This is an unbeatable magic, no one has ever been able to break it!"

To be finished!

Rhodes was a little panicked. Although he didn't know the effect of this magic, he could feel the huge magic power that burst out in an instant. If this thing was successfully activated, he might die.

But, the tower?

Rhodes' magic power is almost enough. As long as he can summon the Rift Herald, there is still hope of breaking this trick!

The problem is, I can’t move!

In his current state, even his hands were fixed to the wall.

Lastiros was obviously targeting his summoning magic, which was obviously of the holding type.

If you can't touch the pendant, you can't summon it, unless...

"Give yourself more confidence. You are very strong. Magic comes from the power of the heart. If you don't believe in yourself, your magic will become weak."

The president's kind voice rang in his ears. Rhodes tried to straighten his neck and felt the pendant touching his skin.

"It can be done, it can be done. I have practiced it before, and it will definitely work this time!"

"Rift Pioneer!"

"Answer the call! Rift Herald!"

hum~~~
A large amount of magic power gathered at the point where the pendant touched the skin and was consumed in an instant, and the pendant emitted a dazzling light.

Purple light gathered at the foot of the tower, and a huge purple figure jumped out from the ground!
"It's obviously a holding system, but it can directly..." Lastiros stretched out his right hand, "It's too late, disappear!"

Rhodes shouted: "Riparian, tear it down!!!"

Bang!
The Rift Herald seemed to transform into a stream of purple light and crashed into the tower.

Cracks spread from the impact point to the entire tower and to where Rhodes was trapped!
