Chapter 29 Rod vs Natsu
Chapter 29 Rod vs Natsu
”Let’s fight it out, Rod!”
Natsu was very direct. He went straight to the point without even a normal greeting.
Rod said helplessly: “At least wait until the rain stops?”
Natsu asked back: “Hasn’t it stopped?”
”Huh?”
Rod looked out the door, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the dark clouds, as if a few golden threads were sprinkled from the sky.
Then the light became more and more, the dark clouds quickly dissipated, and the sky was blue.
”…”Rod was shocked, “Are you Takasaka Honoka?”
”Who is that? Is he very strong?”
”To some extent.” Rod stopped shirking, “Then come on.”
Natsu jumped into the backyard first, stepped on the mud twice, and Rod suddenly didn’t want to go.
After thinking for a while, he decided to turn around and ask for help: “Laki?”
”Leave it to me.” Lucky cast a spell: “Wooden shape·Pure love is spotless!”
A round wooden floor with a diameter of ten meters appeared in the backyard, like a ring.
Several people around Lucky complained about her name, but Lucky was complacent.
Natsu jumped up and stomped his feet, saying happily: “Oh! This is good, it’s decided, falling out of range is considered a loss!”
”Or you can lose if you fall to the ground.” Rhodes would rather fake a fall than roll in the mud.
Natsu had no objection, the onlookers were already in place, and the president had opened the game – Rhodes didn’t even know when the old man showed up.
“Then, Natsu vs. Rod, let’s begin!”
Rod held the pendant: “I am the one who connects the two worlds
…
River Swift Crab!”
Natsu, like Erza, is a man of martial virtue and does not sneak attack, but Rod felt awkward and had to shorten the chant as soon as possible.
When the Canyon Swift Crab appeared, Natsu finally couldn’t hold back, and his fists collided, and flames came out of his fists. He rushed out in one step, and his posture was like a fire dragon waving his front claws and rushing forward: ”Fire dragon’s iron fist!”
This fist was not aimed at Rod, but at the river crab.
The scorching flame fist enlarged in ‘Rod’s vision’, making him subconsciously raise his hand to cover his face, but he immediately realized that it was the river crab’s vision.
In a hurry, he didn’t know what order to give, and the river crab had already begun to act according to instinct and raised a short claw.
Natsu’s fist hit the green crab claws, and the scorching flames rushed to the crab’s eyes.
The huge force made the crab’s six legs pierce the wooden board under its feet and slide back more than two meters.
The wood chips mixed with the soil below flew, and Rhodes was hit, half of his body lying on the back of the crab.
If there were no bumps on the crab shell that could be grabbed, he might have been knocked away.
”Ugh…” Rhodes wanted to vomit after being hit in the stomach. He felt that if he was hit directly by this punch, he might die.
The president saw Rhodes’ reaction and decided to give this child with no combat experience a temporary lesson: ”Magic power is not only something that can be used to cast magic, but also for defense. Even if you don’t understand defensive magic, it can still play a protective role, although the efficiency is a little lower.”
Rhodes nodded, understood, and used it as internal strength, but it was much less cost-effective than using defensive magic.
“Canyon Swift Crab, charge!”
However, his order was a little late. After being attacked, the river crab had already started to run away according to its instinct.
It even ran out of illusory light and shadow – in the game, it was probably a small acceleration skill that the river crab had.
This behavior of betraying teammates made Rhode face to face with Natsu, only three meters away.
After hearing Rhode’s order, the river crab turned back and rushed over again.
“So fast!” Natsu had originally planned to rush forward and hit a friendly punch as usual in fighting – the kind without fire on the fist.
But the speed of the river crab was unexpectedly fast, and the feeling of facing it head-on was indeed different from watching it yesterday.
“This is fun!” Natsu laughed instead, opened his hands and directly grasped the tips of the two large crab claws.
Shh…
Natsu was pushed back by the river crab, and the leather sandals and wooden magic made an unpleasant sound.
However, after retreating less than a meter, Natsu stood firmly and grinned at the crab: “I got you!”
Natsu’s whole body was covered with flames, and his head hit the crab’s face directly.: “The sword horn of the fire dragon!”
”Squeak~~”
With a bang, the river crab was knocked over by the headbutt, and the flames spread all over its body, making a squeaking scream.
Without waiting for a few struggles, the river crab’s figure gradually became transparent and finally disappeared completely.
”Oh no!” Natsu covered his head with both hands and rubbed his hair in annoyance, “I went too far!”
”Sorry, sorry, sorry!” Natsu put his hands together and rushed to Rhodes to apologize frantically,
”I didn’t want to kill it! Sorry, sorry, sorry…”
Rhodes was not in a hurry: “It’s okay, it’s not dead.”
”Really?” Natsu still maintained the posture of bowing and looked up at Rhodes.
”It’s really not dead. You can think of it as being forcibly repatriated. It will be fine after healing its wounds.”
Rhodes can now vaguely feel a body of water, and the river crab is hiding under the water, with a pair of tentacles exposed on the water surface.
According to the game, it can be considered as waiting for a refresh.
However, the river crab disappeared this time, which made Rhode feel that the existence of this river crab might be different from that of Poro.
”So that’s how it is!” Natsu jumped back a long distance, “Then come again! What other monsters are there, release them all! Ahahaha!”
This guy is so stubborn… His mood adjustment is too fast.
It fits the character of the male protagonist of the hot-blooded comic.
Rhode understood a little more about Natsu’s personality, but then continued to summon…
He looked at the Poro Worm on the sidelines.
Worm “inadvertently” hid behind Happy.
Rhode sighed, and he really couldn’t count on him.
He clenched his fist and looked at Natsu: “Let’s do it this way!”
He agreed to fight with Natsu just to gain some combat experience. It would be meaningless to admit defeat directly if he was afraid of getting beaten.
Natsu also raised his fist and smiled at Rhode.
But when he recalled it later, Rhode always felt that Natsu smiled like a devil.
MD was too heavy-handed! …
”Hiss… it hurts… it hurts…”
Mira carefully used tweezers to hold a cotton ball and apply medicine to Rhode’s swollen cheek.
Rhode sat on the chair, holding the back of the chair with both hands and grimacing in pain, and he didn’t even care about the problem of being a little close to each other at the beginning.
“Just bear with it for a while, it will be fine soon.” Mira changed the cotton ball and dipped it in the potion again, “Are the defensive skills the president taught you useless?”
”It works, but I didn’t learn it all at once, and…hiss…who knew he would hit me in the face right away!”
Mira laughed and said, “Natsu usually fights like this…Okay, turn around…By the way, do you still need to do this kind of training in the future?”
Rod turned around and pulled his collar down, revealing the bruises on his back shoulder.
Recalling the painful experience just now, he nodded with a sad face:
”The more this happens, the more I have to continue to find people to fight. It’s better to get beaten in the guild than to be beaten to death when I go out…hiss…”
