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

Chapter 250: Sense of Security Comes

A deep crater appeared in the ground and a pillar of black flame erupted from it, its top higher than nearly all the trees in the forest.

The pillar of fire continued to extend forward from Zankro's hands, and the black flames formed a high wall with astonishing heat, almost running through the entire forest.

However, the scene that Zankro wanted to see the little mouse being blasted out of the ground by him did not occur.

He stood up and covered his increasingly injured arm, furiously: "Find them for me! Even if I have to plow the land, I must find them!"

The subordinates didn't dare to say anything more and could only obey orders and disperse.

When Zankro went berserk, several people underground were fleeing frantically.

"Down, down! Quick, quick, quick! Turn, turn! Hey, follow me!"

Rhodes hurriedly commanded the two stone beetles to run along the route he had envisioned.

Because he drilled deep enough and ran crookedly enough, the movement on the ground had nothing to do with him.

The reason why he was so anxious was that except for him, the person who received the stone beetle, the other three people couldn't breathe.

Staying underground for too long can lead to suffocation, but not running far enough can lead to being discovered.

Rhodes had no choice but to run as fast as possible.

After running for about two or three minutes, Rhodes heard no footsteps on the ground, so he led everyone to the surface to take a breath.

Elfman and Mal coughed and took a few deep breaths before they recovered.

Rhodes checked Vina's breath and felt her pulse, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that she was still alive.

"Can you...can you save Vina?" Mal still remembered what Elfman said, that his companions might have a way.

"I don't have enough magic power now. Wait a minute." Rhode thought for a moment and said, "Change clothes."

A medical kit appeared in his hand.

"Come, take care of her wound carefully. Here are bandages, hemostatics, glucose, saline, etc. You can use them as you see fit."

"Thank you." Mal quickly helped her sister deal with the wound.

"Elfman, how is your injury?"

"man!"

Probably meaning 'can hold on', Rhode nodded: "Okay, I'll help you heal after I recover some magic power."

"How's your enemy?"

"How should I put it? He should be considered a ruthless person."

Rod briefly told Elfman about his battle.

At that time, he recovered a little magic power and immediately went to find Lastiros with two exploding magic crystals.

But only one arm was found.

The wound on the arm was smooth and purple all over. It was very likely that Lastiros judged that he was too deeply poisoned, so he made a knife and cut it himself.

Because the guy was knocked too far away, Rhodes didn't even know when he ran away.

So Rod said he was a ruthless person.

But no one knew why he would rather run away than deal with Rhodes, a guy who had almost used up all his physical and magical powers.

Rhodes guessed that Lastiros might have misjudged his magic power, or he might be in a hurry to go back and find a way to detoxify him.

Anyway, since he couldn't find anyone, Rhodes didn't waste any more time and flew directly to the mountains and forests to look for Elfman.

But they didn't expect that Elfman was injured so badly, and their target was also injured so seriously.

It's obviously just an ordinary investigation and missing person mission, why is the devil's heart involved?
Both brothers almost died here.

This is just like what the president said a few days ago, 'Sometimes it's easy to complete a mission and get paid, but sometimes you risk your life and still get nothing.'

After he finished speaking, Elfman also talked about what happened here after the wild monsters disappeared.

After hearing this, Rhodes looked at Mal with some displeasure.

However, given the deep blood feud, it is understandable that he was so impulsive.

It's just that I'm such a jerk to my teammates.

The only good news is that Elfman can actually receive it with his whole body.

Rhode didn't know whether to feel sad or happy - this was different from the scenario he had imagined. He hoped to encounter a safer event that would make Elfman change his mindset more gently, and definitely not for the two brothers to run out and gamble their lives with the devil's heart.

However, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, let's wait until we escape safely.

"It's taken care of." Mal looked at Rhodes with guilt and hope.

Rhode knew what he was waiting for and shook his head gently: "My magic power won't recover that fast. We need to find a quiet place to hide for a while."

A stone beetle emerged from the ground, raised its legs and pointed in one direction.

It heard footsteps over there.

"Let's go, someone is here to find us."

Several people hid, wandered around, and fled nearby for more than an hour, but still could not escape the enemy's search.

The main thing is that we are carrying a seriously injured patient, so we have to pay attention to all aspects, which means that many methods of movement cannot be used.

After waiting until Rhodes had accumulated enough magic power, he first summoned a golem and gave himself and Elfman a Crown of Insight.

As long as I can recover a little more magic power, I will feel more secure even if I am injured.

A few minutes later, Rod summoned the tree monster again and asked it to hang a Crown of Ember on Vina and Elfman.

As for Rhodes himself, he can wait for the next wave.

Anyway, as long as there is no fighting, he can summon blue first, then red, and repeat this cycle over and over again. Luo can become a perpetual motion machine.

Vina's face gradually turned red and her wounds began to heal.

Her situation was different from that of the old patriarch. She had been injured for a short time, and the emergency hemostasis was done in time. She was also young, so she was basically out of danger now.

"There! I've seen that kind of weird crab before!"

There are also sharp-eyed people among the minions, and river crabs can be spotted even if they hide in the bushes with their camouflage.

Rhodes and Elfman each moved their wrists. Although their injuries had not yet fully recovered, neither of them wanted to run away.

Damn it, I’ve never suffered such an injustice before, being chased all over the mountains by a bunch of minions.

Just at this moment, a red flare suddenly appeared in the sky.

A small blue figure broke into Hexie's field of vision and knocked over a man holding a staff.

Then he pulled out a fish from the small bag behind him and knocked out the man holding a knife with two bangs.

After doing all this, he flew to the river crab and waved hello into its eyes.

"Harpy!" Rhodes was a little surprised.

Elfman was stunned: "What?"

Rod said excitedly: "I saw the harpy!"

"That is to say..."

It was impossible for the harpy to fly all the way from the guild to cover such a long distance, which meant that someone came with him.

Or maybe he and Natsu were just somewhere nearby where they could be contacted.

Anyway...

"My companions have arrived!"

Rod and Elfman almost cried with joy.

Fleeing with injuries, insufficient magic power, and having to protect Mal and Vina, this was the most helpless time Rhodes had ever felt since he became a wizard.

When he faced the devil, he also had the confidence to escape.

Although I only saw the figure of the harpy now, a huge sense of security has surged up over me.

Rhodes now wants to lie down and rest.
