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

Chapter 432: Friedel's Defeat (Happy New Year)

"You, what are you going to do?" Alba Green was a little panicked. Summoning such an ugly big toad at this time would definitely not be a good thing.

"Nothing, it just wants to throw you into its mouth. Don't worry, its mouth is full of venom, which will slowly corrode your hair and clothes, and then erode your body, making sure not an inch of your skin will be left intact.

It's a pity that you have such a pretty face... Oh, no, if it wasn't pretty enough, it might not be so fulfilling to destroy it. I just seemed to hear you call yourself a fairy, so you are barely qualified to be buried with them.

It's such a pity that such a beautiful girl like you has to die in the mouth of such an ugly toad.

So remember to scream louder later, it will make me more excited... oh, it can also slightly reduce my guilt for not being able to save those girls."

The corner of Rhode's mouth pulled into a smile that made Alba Green shudder.

Elfman silently took a step back and stood back up again.

He thought Rhodes was just trying to scare him, but to say that with a smile like that was... so scary and perverted.

So I'm not so sure again. Could Rhodes be serious?

The rock shackles and stone beetles that bound Alba Green disappeared, but she could not move at all.

Moreover, his body was shaking so violently that he probably wouldn't dare to move even if he could.

Rhodes waved his hand, and the magic swamp frog squatting not far away opened its mouth in response.

He grabbed Alba Green's left arm with his right hand. "Consider this as a last act of mercy. I'll count to 10 and give you some time to prepare yourself."

Alba Green's face turned pale: "Wait... wait a minute!"

Rhodes ignored her and counted to himself: "1, 2, 8910!"

He jumped over 34567 and threw Alba Green out with a force of his hands.

Alba Green tilted her head back and watched herself flying towards the mouth of the ugly giant toad.

The black hole of the mouth, the long dark pink-purple tongue, the sticky purple venom, all of this quickly magnified in her eyes.

"No, no! I give up, I give up!"

Alba Green was in mid-air with tears streaming down her face, but she had just been hit hard by two punches and could not move at all.

All he could do was shout in despair: "The magic is broken, it's broken! Aaaaaahhh!"

Through the vision of the Canyon Swift Crab that remained in the guild, Rhodes saw that the statue on the stage had been freed from petrification.

Some of the girls stood up directly, while others fell to the ground. In particular, Lucy, who was wearing a cheerleading outfit, generously gave out a wave of benefits when she fell.

Then Natsu was knocked away by Erza's punch.

——That idiot seemed to be planning to use fire to melt the stones on Erza's body to free her, but the magic was suddenly lifted and almost burned her hair.

Rhodes only confirmed that the petrification magic was lifted and did not have time to think carefully about the cause and effect.

Seeing that Albagarin's head and shoulders had already entered the mouth of the Gromp and were about to be stained with venom, he waved his hand and sent the Gromp back to the Summoner's Rift.

"Everyone, pay attention! The petrification magic has been lifted. Erza, Levy... they are all safe. Stop fighting!"

After a round of cheers from the guild, Volian immediately informed his companions throughout the city as planned.

At the same time, a battle briefing was updated on the 'screens' in the guild and the church:
"Alba Green vs. Rhodes."

"The winner is Rod."

"Alba Green is no longer able to fight."

In fact, there was also one item in Elfman’s briefing, but the result was a draw.

Alba Green had fallen heavily to the ground, and had moved forward some distance, with scratches on her shoulders and her clothes and socks being torn.

Her tears flowed heavily and finally stopped. She didn't even have time to cry out in pain and could only curse Rhodes, the liar, in her heart.

We agreed to count to 10. How can anyone count like this?
Elfman walked to Rhodes cautiously and asked uncertainly: "Um...did you scare her just now?"

The sneer on Rhode's face had not completely disappeared. He just stared at him and said, "First, you just called out 'Hey, Rhode' instead of calling me brother-in-law. That's very rude."

"Sister, brother-in-law..."

"Well, good girl." Rhode smiled with satisfaction. "Of course I scared her, but if she refuses to repent, she will really be thrown into the mouth of the magic frog. You have to understand the determination of a man to save his companions."

"..."Can this still be considered as scaring her?
Elfman was silent for a moment, and could only agree: "Man...manly."

"Alright, I'll go check on Mira. I'll leave her to you. Blindfold her and take her back to the guild. It's up to the person who was turned into a stone statue to decide whether to forgive her or not."

"Okay." Elfman tore a strip of cloth from his tattered clothes to cover Alba Green's eyes, and then prepared to carry her on his shoulders.

Rhode stopped him and said, "Wait a minute. To prevent her from attacking you halfway, it would be better to hypnotize her before taking her away."

"You also know sleeping magic?"

"A little bit at a time. It's easy as long as the target doesn't resist."

Alba Green had no intention of resisting. Things had already come to this point. She didn't know how to face those people when she returned anyway, so she might as well try hypnosis.

But just as this thought came to her mind, she suddenly felt a pain on her face, as if she had been punched hard. She rolled her eyes and fainted.

The only thought before I lost consciousness was, I'm lying again, how can this be called hypnosis?
Elfman didn't expect Rhode to be so cruel. "Is this hypnotic magic?"

"I haven't had the chance to learn hypnotic magic from your sister yet. I only know physical hypnosis now."

Rhode felt no guilt at all. After causing such a big incident, he only got punched three times. It was a bargain for her. "Go back. I'm leaving too."

In the church:

"Alba Green is no longer able to fight."

Laxus looked at the words with a grim face. Alba was defeated so quickly.

This is one of the candidates who is supposed to help him build the new Fairy Tail into the 'real' strongest guild.

"Alba, when did you become so weak... You actually..."

The hostages were gone, but Laxus was not panicked because there were only more than 30 people left, and even if there were no hostages, they would come looking for him.

Just a few minutes later, his face became even uglier, and golden arcs of electricity flashed on his body.

Because there is a new briefing:
"Erza vs Bigusro."

"Erza is the winner."

"Bicusro has lost his ability to fight."

"Why? Why did Bigusro lose to someone like Erza? You can't follow in my footsteps anymore!"

... "Erza is awesome." Rod heard Volian say that Erza was planning to cause trouble for Laxus.

But it's only been a few minutes. Did he replenish Bigusro as soon as he went out?

When Rhodes arrived near Mira, an icicle suddenly shot up into the sky, pushing a strange man covered in black into the air more than ten stories high.

Judging from the remaining clothes on his body and his long green hair, this should be Fried?

The icicle didn't seem to be able to defeat Freed directly. He just vibrated the strange wings behind him and was about to fly again.

But Mira suddenly appeared in the air and punched Fried on the head.

Rhodes summoned the tree monster and the golem to add red and blue double buffs to Mira.

Freed barely rolled over and crossed his arms in front of him in defense.

But Mira's punch pushed Fried's arms against his chest, causing him to fall downward.

Fried's body hit the top of the icicle, but was not blocked. Instead, he crashed into the icicle.

The icicle began to break and collapse bit by bit, and Fried's body continued to move downwards, and only stopped when it completely passed through the icicle and hit the ground.

The icicle collapsed completely, burying Freed underneath.

Mira's movement slowed down a bit, but she seemed to sense the fluctuation of magic power under the ice pile and knew that the other party was still planning to continue fighting.

She flew to the top of the ice pile, made her hands into claws, placed her palms facing each other on her left shoulder, and leaned sideways to gather strength.

A purple-black magic ball formed between her hands, and Mira pushed both of her hands down suddenly: "Soul...extinction!"

The violent magic power gathered into a raging dark torrent, rushing towards the ice pile.

As soon as there was some movement under the ice pile, it was completely swallowed up by the dark torrent.

A large amount of ice was evaporated in an instant, and the surrounding was covered with white mist, but the white mist was immediately blown away by the wind, and the ground shook violently, like a bolt of thunder out of the blue.

Gray below had to raise one arm to shield his face. The strong wind ruffled his hair and blew away the shirt he had taken off at some point.

"As expected, Mira should not be angered compared to Erza."

Erza only beat the man half to death, but Mira beat him to death.

Rod walked slowly to Gray's side and asked quietly, "Are you saying bad things about my fiancée?"

"I didn't say anything bad..." Gray had heard the 'breaking news' that Wallian had reported earlier, and was not surprised at Rhodes' arrival.

He just looked at Mira in the sky, then at Rhodes beside him, and suddenly sighed, then patted Rhodes' shoulder sympathetically.

He's a nice guy, why is he marrying Mira?
Confused, Rhodes ignored him and just waited to see the result.

The strong wind died down, the smoke and dust dissipated, and a large pit appeared on the ground. Fried was lying at the bottom of the pit, and his devilish black body returned to its normal state.

His clothes were torn, his long hair was covered in dust, and his body was covered with scars.

However, Fried's strength was quite strong. He took such an attack head-on but did not lose consciousness.

Mira swooped down from the air and her fist stopped at the tip of Freed's nose. The strong wind from the fist made his cheek hurt.

The punch was not delivered in the end.

Mira flapped her wings and landed next to him, freeing herself from the state of Satan's soul and returning to her usual gentle and kind self.

"Why don't you give me the final blow?"

Mira smiled helplessly: "Because such a battle is meaningless."

"What is that, the arrogance of the victor?"

Mira shook her head. "We are companions, companions of the same guild... We laugh together, quarrel together, and work hard together to move forward..."

"My only companion is Laxus!" Fried trembled and said sadly:

"But I lost. I failed to complete the mission that Laxus assigned me. I am no longer qualified to follow him, and I have no value in my existence. So, please put an end to me!"

"Of course he's not the only one!" Mira retorted, "Although he's the only one you completely rely on, take a good look around you."

Mira extended her hand with a bright and gentle smile, "Look, there are still people willing to reach out to you. The distance is so close that you can easily touch them."

Although everyone calls her a demon, she is actually too gentle.

Gray stepped forward and extended his hand as well, but avoided Freed's gaze: "Although it is troublesome, there will always be companions whenever you need them."

"You guys have finished your lines, let me say something unpleasant." Rhodes stood beside Mira and stretched out his hand.

"Don't think that you'll be done with a beating. Come back with me and accept your punishment. Then work overtime to compensate for today's losses."

Freed's lips moved, and the faces of Natsu, Cana, Alzac, Erza, the president... one by one, the faces of his companions appeared before his eyes, gathering into tears and condensing in the corners of his eyes.

He raised his hands to cover his eyes, but couldn't stop the tears from flowing down: "Wu... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I... I don't want to do this kind of thing... Wuwu..."

Fried burst into tears and couldn't stop crying.

Rhodes might not know much because he has been here for a short time, but Mira and Gray know that although this man looks cold and difficult to approach, he is actually an incredibly gentle person in his heart.

There are many girls in the guild who may not be as strong as Freed in terms of femininity.

As Freed's tears fell, all the spells in the city became ineffective.

In the guild, just as Rebecca was trying to make the first change to the technique, Natsu, who was pushing forward, fell forward and landed flat on his face.

Gajeel exclaimed, "It turns out that the little one is so powerful!"

Natsu said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me in advance, Levi!"

Leibi asked in confusion: "Huh? But I haven't started yet... And what is 'little one' called?"

Gajeel pretended not to hear: "Jixi~ Anyway, now we can go and settle accounts with that Raiden bastard, right?"

Wallian said excitedly: "Gray and Mira defeated Freed. Rod has already joined them and is heading to the church to find Laxus!"

Although the hostage is safe now and the spell has been eliminated, the president's current physical condition may prevent him from taking any action. We can only help him educate his grandson.

When Natsu heard this, he rushed out immediately, "Damn it, you actually ran away when we couldn't get out? I want to join the battle too. The strongest in Fairy Tail belongs to me!"

"Does that idiot Huo Long understand the situation? With that sinister guy and those two scary women, there's no need for us to take action, right?"

Gajeel looked down on Natsu's intelligence, but his body still honestly chased after him.
