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

Chapter 431 Alba Green
"Summon, Shadow Wolf!"

Two groups of Shadow Wolves appeared in the guild and ran onto the stage to sniff around.

In fact, the task of finding someone can be left to Volian, but just in case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring a shadow wolf that can track.

"Let Shadow Wolf take you to find someone, and then... take this." Two pairs of sunglasses appeared in Rhodes' hands and he handed them to Gray and Elfman respectively.

"I heard that in addition to the magic that they are best at, the Thunder Gods also have a kind of magic that can be cast through the eyes. Be careful."

Magic cast through the eyes is often very powerful, like Alba Green's petrifying eyes, which can even turn Erza into stone.

But this kind of magic can actually be blocked by just wearing a pair of glasses. Just now, when Alba Green cast magic on Lucy, she deliberately pushed her glasses up.

Ever since he and Erza teamed up to go out together last winter, Rhodes prepared a few pairs of sunglasses to prevent snow blindness.

I didn't expect it would come in handy here.

"Then I'll go first." Elfman took the sunglasses, jumped directly onto the back of the two-headed wolf, and waved his hand, "Manly man!"

Three wolves and one man rushed out of the guild.

Gray waved his hand at him: "I don't need this. Freed's magic eye is different from the other two. If it doesn't work, I can make it myself."

He has the magic of styling, so making a pair of glasses is no big deal for him.

"So what should we do?" Lucky asked.

"Laki, go take care of the president. Wallian, be sure to report your location at any time. The rest of you, protect the statue. If Bigusro finds out that there is an error in the number of people, he might run to the guild. Then you will have to deal with him."

Everyone responded:

"I see."

"Leave it to us!"

Gray saw Elfman run a short distance before he rode off on another two-headed wolf.

Natsu watched Gray leave, anxiously: "I want to join in later, let me fight Laxus!"

Gajeel didn't say anything, but it was clear that he meant it. Although he was very tough, he wanted to take this opportunity to integrate into the guild.

Rhodes was helpless: "Can you get out?"

"So quickly think of a way to let me out!"

"Once we defeat Freed, you will naturally be able to get out. Otherwise, you can just keep attacking the spell at the door. Maybe you can reduce some of Freed's magic power, which can also be considered an indirect fight with him."

"That's nothing!" Natsu looked unhappy, but he could only vent his anger by punching the air wall.

Mira also handed the president to Laqi's care and came out of the infirmary: "Have you decided?"

Rhode nodded and handed her a pair of sunglasses. "Elfman and Gray have already set off. We will split up and follow them later. Be careful of traps and make a quick decision."

The two waited for a moment, Rod chased in the direction of Elfman, and Mira rushed in the direction of Gray.

Before leaving, Rhode left a river crab behind to read the battle report in the guild. In a short period of time, the number of remaining people had dropped sharply to 60.

Unlike last year's Harvest Festival, the area around the guild seemed relatively calm today, probably because of the commotion that just happened.

In order to avoid stepping into strange traps, Rhodes chose to travel by jumping over houses and rooftops, which allowed him to get a good view.

Jumping away from the guild, Rhodes could often see strange lights suddenly appearing somewhere, probably because his companions were fighting in those directions.

The battle briefings in the guild are still being updated.

"Miki vs Bigusro."

"The winner is Bigusro. Miki loses her ability to fight."

"Arzak vs. Fried."

"The winner is Freed. Arzak is incapacitated."

"Fairy Tail remaining number of people: 58."

People have already started finding Fried and Bigusro.

However, although they defeated their companions and escaped from the trap, they also lost a considerable amount of magic power and even suffered some injuries. They were no match for the Thunder Gods.

We have to find them quickly.

Rhodes was alertly paying attention to the situation around him to avoid being caught in a trap with anyone.

He found that after being away from the guild, ordinary people did not seem to be affected too much. The festival was still going on as usual, and everyone was shopping or chatting.

The situation on Mira's side was similar, with a small gap suddenly appearing on the road where two or three people were fighting.

Without a doubt, they are all members of Fairy Tail.

The local residents were not surprised. It was just a fight between Fairy Tail members, and bored people would even bet on who would win and who would lose.

When tourists from other places see that the locals are not panicking, they will not panic either. Maybe it’s just part of the performance?
Those who were brave enough stayed to watch, while those who were in a hurry to leave even walked right past them.

——Fried’s technique seems to only target wizards, and ordinary people are not affected at all.

As for his companions who were fighting on the road, Rhode shouted at them to stay still. He didn't care whether they listened or not. He didn't have time to stop the fight now. It would all be fine after the spell was over.

But Mira couldn't stand it, so whenever she saw him, she would throw two pink hypnotic bubbles the size of basketballs down.

The effect of the mediation was quite good, and both parties stopped fighting on the spot.

The people who were persuaded to stop fighting by Mira seemed to be included in the battle briefing. The "big screen" in the guild updated the message "Winner, Mirajane".

Laxus, who was gathering his strength in the church to prepare for the final battle with the old man, laughed. He naturally also had the battle situation broadcast in real time via text using Fried's magic.

"You finally couldn't sit still, Mirajane. It was Alba's mistake not to petrify you together, but with your current level, can you defeat the Thunder Gods and stand in front of me?"

Laxus didn't think of Mira's participation in the war as a big deal, just like he looked down on Erza and thought that her presence or absence would not affect the battle situation.

The remaining number has been reduced to 40 people, and most of the members have lost their combat effectiveness. Laxus is more concerned about how long the old man can endure.

Wait a little longer, until the number of people is smaller, until he completely defeats the so-called "demon strategist", then confront the old man and make him announce his abdication in front of the entire city.

……

"Found it!" Starting from the guild and crossing half of the city, Elfman finally saw one of his targets, Alba Green.

A little further away, Wang Qiangji was lying on the ground covered with wounds, having just been defeated by Alba Green.

Alba Green blended into the crowd as if nothing had happened, strolling leisurely and continuing to play hide-and-seek.

"Alba Green!" Elfman yelled, "Don't even think about escaping!"

The people around were already avoiding the two-headed wolf when they saw it, but when they heard Elfman's roar and saw his ferocious expression, they immediately retreated further away.

At first glance, he looked like he was here to fight, so it was better to stay away. Alba Green looked at him calmly, and raised her glasses slightly:
"Did you use your wolf's sense of smell to find me? That kind of thing is not cute at all."

There was a flash in her pupils, and the three wolves turned into stone in an instant and then disappeared from the spot.

Elfman was spared because he was wearing sunglasses, but his body fell forward due to inertia.

He took advantage of the situation and clenched his fist, hitting Alba Green in the face.

The four purple wing-like decorations behind Alba Green moved, carrying her to fly in place to avoid Elfman's attack.

Elfman's punch smashed a roadside stall. The stall owner memorized the appearance of the two men and ran away crawling.

It was a good festival, he didn't want to get hurt now, as for the stall, he could just go to the guild to ask for compensation after they were done fighting.

Alba Green floated in the air, looking down at Elfman: "Can you be considered a 'fairy' with your crude appearance?"

Elfman didn't care about her ridicule: "It doesn't matter what happens. If you are a man, you should quickly restore the girls to their original state!"

"Them? Aren't the stone statues cute? I'm enough for all the fairies!"

Alba Green was wearing a green dress, a pair of black stockings, long brown hair, and four purple wings. She really looked like a "fairy" when she flew in the air.

She has loved fairy stories since she was a child, and joined Fairy Tail simply because she was interested in the name of the guild.

Later, at the invitation of Freed, she began to worship Laxus. Recently, she often wanted to snatch the title of Fairy Queen from Erza.

The fact that she successfully petrified Erza also made her more confident and narcissistic.

"It's probably useless to tell you this." Alba Green's wings fluttered, and she retreated a few meters, then waved her hands fiercely, "Fairy Shotgun!"

Egg-sized golden balls of light shot towards Elfman, as if a machine gun was shooting at him.

Elfman dashed forward, turning left and right. "Receive the Beast King's Soul with your whole body!"

Two horns grew on his head, scales appeared on his face and body, his shirt was torn in an instant, revealing his exaggerated muscles, and his arms became very strong, so strong that a person could almost stand on his fists.

After making sure that the other party would not compromise without a fight, Elfman rushed forward with a roar without saying anything more.

He crushed the ground with his big feet like a savage, jumped up, showing amazing jumping ability, and smashed Alba Green's head with his fist as big as a casserole.

It was a pity that the two pairs of wings on Alba Green's back were too flexible. They easily avoided his fists by vibrating them and flew nimbly around Elfman.

First he hit Elfman in the cheek with his left fist, then he kicked him in the back of the head with his right foot.

"You really are... apart from your name, there is nothing cute about you..."

(The name Elfman should mean elf, a super tough guy with a super cute name)
Elfman, who had no ability to fly, waved his hands left and right, but he couldn't even touch the corner of Alba Green's clothes.

Fortunately, the opponent's punches and kicks were not powerful, and for Elfman, a few hits like that didn't even amount to a single injury.

Such a scene is like a mosquito that angers a lion. The mosquito can harass the lion at will, but the lion is helpless.

After finally falling from mid-air and landing on solid ground, Elfman discovered that there were many tiny golden powders floating around him.

Although there were twinkling golden lights under the sunlight, he couldn't see it clearly because he was wearing sunglasses.

"I'm sorry, but you're already surrounded by the goblin's scales..."

Alba Green smiled triumphantly, somersaulted in the air, and distanced herself from him: "Fairy Bomb, Fairy!"

All the scales around Elfman emitted a strong light and exploded with a loud bang.

Fire and smoke filled the air, and the ground seemed to shake.

A strong wind wave spread out from the location of the phosphorus powder, and the surrounding stalls were blown slightly.

Alba Green landed outside the explosion range and gently lifted up her glasses, intending to wait until the smoke cleared so that she could turn Elfman into a stone statue and eliminate him from the game.

But when the smoke really dispersed, what appeared in front of Alba Green was not the Beast King, but a thick stone wall.

"This is……"

Before Alba Green could figure out what was going on, the ground beneath her feet suddenly rose up and a rock as big as a casserole hit her chin.

Avoid? Defend?
As soon as the body made the slightest movement, the chin was hit hard.

Alba Green groaned and flew backwards, landing on the ground behind her.

She used all her strength and could only raise her head slightly to see the appearance of the person who attacked her.

——Behind him were a pair of heavy dragon wings, his hands had turned into dragon claws, his eyes were a pair of vertical pupils that looked extremely ferocious, and his face was dotted with ochre-colored dragon scales.

Alba Green was a little hesitant to recognize him. Was he the fairy strategist? What was going on with his ferocious expression and the oppressive feeling of magic?

Rhodes didn't say a word, he immediately pounced over, half-crouched on the ground, and grabbed Alba Green's neck with his right hand.

He patted the ground with his left hand, and stone shackles emerged from the ground to lock Alba Green's wrists and ankles, and stone beetles clamped her slender waist with their huge pincer-like mouthparts.

The stone wall behind him collapsed with a loud bang. When Elfman walked out, he found that his opponent was lying down. He didn't even know how he won.

Since he did not fully withstand Alba Green's attack, Elfman only had some minor external injuries and his pants were a little torn.

This prodigal child loses all his clothes every time he transforms into a beast king.

"I'll give you a chance. Remove the petrification spell, or I'll just send you away."

Rhodes tightened his right hand, almost suffocating her, and loosened it a little when he saw that she was about to speak.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Alba Green coughed violently a few times. "It's useless. Even if you kill me, the magic won't be lifted."

She put on a frantic expression: "And I can control them remotely and crush them at any time! So, I'm going to give you a chance... Kneel down and admit defeat now, otherwise I will... ah!"

Rhodes released his hand that was pinching her neck and punched Alba Green in the abdomen, causing her eyes to bulge out and blood to spit out of her mouth.

"Hey, Rod..." Elfman was worried that he was so impulsive because he was angry, but he didn't know what to say.

Alba Green said in disbelief: "How dare you... don't you care about their life or death at all?"

"This is a calm judgment based on the current situation. Their lives are in your hands. I cannot control you to remove the magic. I can only decide your life or death."

"The rules you bastards set only say that defeating you can free the hostages, but now you want to use the hostages to force me to surrender - that means you don't intend to abide by those boring rules of the game at all. No matter what, they won't survive."

Rhode's eyes turned cold. "In that case, I have no choice but to let you be buried with them. Fortunately, they are all stone statues. They will maintain a beautiful posture when they die, and they won't feel any pain."

Alba Green didn't expect the other party to react like this: "Huh?"

"But you won't have that kind of luck. I'm sure you've seen that I'm different from that straightforward and stupid brother. I'll do anything to avenge them... I'll treat you well before you die.

Summon, Gromp!"

"what?"
