Chapter 74 Who? Mira? S-level?
Chapter 74 Who? Mira? S-level?
Face to face with the beast king mentioned by the village chief, the other party’s magic power was revealed without any concealment.
Natsu didn’t feel any pressure, but rubbed his hands: “I said you think too much, Rhode, how can this guy be S-class, it’s not as good as Erza.”
After seeing the Beast King with his own eyes, Rhode hugged Happy on the tree and nodded: “This is true, it’s hard to disagree.”
Natsu was still comparing: “And it’s not as good as Mira!”
”This… is a bit too much to compare with Mira, right?”
Happy said: “Natsu is talking about the past Mira.”
”Before… Mira was very strong?”
”Love! Mira was also an S-class wizard, fighting with Erza all day long.”
”!” Rhode’s mind appeared Mira’s gentle image, “Her? Fighting with Erza?”
This challenged his imagination a bit.
”Love, they used to be like Natsu and Gray now.”
”…” Rhode’s brain was a little out of order. When Lisanna was mentioned yesterday, he wanted to ask about Mira’s past.
But considering the mood of the harpy, it is not easy to speak. Today…
”Roar~~~~”
”The iron fist of the fire dragon!”
Okay, ask after the fight.
Natsu’s fist collided with the fist of the leopard man, making a dull sound.
The two men were very different in size. When Natsu’s fist was wrapped in flames, it looked about the same size as the fist of the leopard man.
But in such a fistfight, Natsu was not at a disadvantage.
The two sides were in a short stalemate, and then each retreated.
The fist of the leopard man was a little charred, and a shallow mark was dragged under Natsu’s feet.
”You are quite capable, you guy.” Natsu clenched his fist and rushed up again.
The leopard man seemed a little hesitant, but when he saw the other party attacking, he naturally went up to him: “Roar~~~”
The two kept fighting with fists and feet, sometimes attacking, sometimes blocking.
The leopard man is very powerful, and each of his moves carries extraordinary power. Ordinary people would probably have their bones broken if they were hit by him.
And each of Natsu’s moves carries fire, which brings powerful destructive power and explosive power to his attacks. Even if he successfully blocks, it is easy to leave burns.
After more than a dozen moves, Natsu wanted to try to take advantage of the difference in size and adopt a more agile attack method.
But the leopard man’s leopard characteristics are not in vain. While he is big in size, he is also quite agile.
”Fire dragon’s flaming elbow!”
An elbow with flame jets to increase power pushed the opponent back two steps, and Natsu also swiftly turned back twice to distance himself.
This was the time to take action as agreed in advance. Six strange birds, one large and five small, flew out from the surrounding pine trees.
The big one flapped its wings suddenly in the air, shooting out dozens or hundreds of feathers like flying knives;
The small ones also shot one each to join in the fun.
The leopard man raised his arms to protect his vital parts, and dozens of feathers pierced his arms, shoulders and legs.
”Roar!” The leopard man roared, broke a big tree beside him, and swung it up to hit the razor-beaked birds that swooped down on him.
Two ancient stone beetles broke out of the ground, one hit the leopard man’s back, making it lose balance, and the other clamped the leopard man’s waist with its mouthparts from the front.
The leopard man swung the big tree in his hand half a circle and threw it backwards, knocking down the stone beetle behind him.
Then he roared loudly, his arms seemed to be a little thicker, and he hit and elbowed the guy who clamped him.
Natsu, who should have taken this opportunity to attack, did not move at this time. The leopard man had already beaten the ancient stone beetle into two stone beetles.
“Stone beetle, entangle it!”
Rod didn’t know what Natsu was thinking, but he had a backup plan. If he sent another group of raptors, he would have a chance.
If it didn’t work, he could take the risk of the magic frog.
Rod held the pendant on the tree branch, “Respond to the call…”
”Wait for Rhode!” Natsu suddenly stopped.
”…”Rod frowned and asked hurriedly, “What’s wrong? At this time, you don’t have to fight one-on-one, do you?”
However, during this time of questioning, the leopard man knocked away a stone beetle that blocked the road, and jumped onto a pine tree with his legs, and then jumped again and again, and quickly fled.
Well, there’s no need to rush this time.
Harpy flew down with Rhode: “What are you doing suddenly?Ah, Natsu? If you keep fighting, you will win immediately.”
Natsu said sullenly: “That guy is not the Beast King at all.”
Rod said: “But its characteristics are exactly the same as the Beast King.”
”Of course, because the Beast King was completely ‘received’ by him.” Natsu emphasized, “It’s ‘he’, not ‘it’.”
”Receiving… no way?” Rod thought of a possibility, but it was too far-fetched.
Happy asked: “What’s going on?”
”That guy, although he has a lot of wild animal smells on his body, there is also a smell I smelled in the village chief’s house.”
Natsu thought it was the smell of Chita who had been missing for eight days.
Judging by smell alone is definitely untenable. Rod said: “But Chita came to the mountain to attack the Beast King. It’s not surprising that the Beast King was infected with the smell after fighting with him… And how do you know that it is reception magic? ”
Natsu said seriously: “During the battle, and when he used his arms to smash the stone beetle, that way of using magic was receiving magic. I will never make a mistake!”
”Why…” Rhodes wanted to ask why Natsu was so familiar with receiving magic.
And the analysis just now almost made him suspect that Natsu was replaced.
”I believe Natsu.” Happy’s tone became serious, and he explained for Natsu,
”Because Mira, Elfman, and Lisanna all used receiving magic. So, so Natsu will not make a mistake! ”
”…” Rhode was silent. He sat cross-legged on the ground. He had heard a lot of heavy news in the past two days, so he had to sort it out.
First of all, Mira had a sister named Lisanna, but she died last year.
Then Mira was once an S-class wizard, the kind that could compete with Erza.
And the three siblings of the Strauss family all used receiving magic.
Finally, from what Happy said, Lisanna and Natsu had a good relationship, so Natsu was also familiar with receiving magic.
Based on this familiarity, Natsu could judge that the one just now The ‘leopard man beast king’ is actually Qita, who has been missing for eight days, using receiving magic to take away the beast king’s body.
According to Rhodes’ understanding, receiving magic is a magic that can take over the target’s body and use it for oneself.
However, if the person using receiving magic is not strong enough and wants to receive it forcibly, he may be affected by the other party’s will, so that he loses his mind and acts involuntarily.
This is consistent with the strange and irritable behavior of the ‘beast king’.
But there is still one thing that doesn’t make sense.
”Can anyone maintain receiving magic for eight days?”
Rhodes said, “If it is really receiving magic, then he should die of exhaustion on the first day, or faint due to lack of magic power, and then recover to his original state.”
