Chapter 77 What is the mission?
Chapter 77 What is the mission?
The upper body of the leopard man was engulfed in flames, and the two stone beetles sent a signal to Rhodes to retreat.
Maybe it was too hot, after all, stone beetles are insects, not stones.
Rhodes was worried whether Natsu’s move would kill the opponent directly.
In fact, Natsu knew when to hold back.
How much magic power the opponent can use for defense, how much magic power he should use for attack, the opponent’s fighting habits, etc.
After two short encounters, Natsu had almost tested this information.
He has quite a lot of experience in this kind of thing.
On the contrary, Rhodes is still far behind in this aspect. If he really accepts the task of fighting the robbers, there is a possibility of killing people.
Just like the last time he caught a robber on the street and broke his bones, he didn’t care about the severity of his hands.
When the flames dissipated, the upper body of the leopard man exuded a burning smell, his hair curled, and some parts were still on fire.
But he did not fall down, but roared to the sky, punched left and right, and smashed two stone beetles into four mini stone beetles.
The mini stone beetles wanted to continue to execute the “hold the legs” order, but the leopard man reacted and kicked them all away one by one.
Two flew towards Natsu, and two flew towards Rhodes. This footwork is definitely a talent for playing football.
”Forced to close the door!”
Rhodes waved his hand to send the mini stone beetles back, and ordered a stone beetle underground and a group of stone beetles that were originally responsible for blocking the road to attack.
It’s just that the stone beetles couldn’t catch up with the speed of the leopard man rushing towards Natsu.
Natsu punched the leopard man head-on.
This time, Natsu was beaten back a few steps. The strength of the second-stage leopard man is indeed outstanding.
“Raps, Feathers!”
The razor-beaks fired single-shot Feathers at the leopard man to avoid accidentally injuring his allies.
The leopard man took two steps back nimbly, and when he was about to move forward again, he staggered, and his tail was pulled by something.
When he looked back, there were four mouths of three wolves hanging on the thick leopard tail.
“Beautiful, Rhodes! Continuous Fire Dragon Fist!” Natsu rushed forward, waving his arms, and his fists with flames hit the leopard man’s face and chest like raindrops.
“Oh oh oh!!!” Natsu roared with his fists, “Wake up, you leopard bastard! Oh oh oh!!!”
The leopard man staggered and roared.
“Grandpa Village Chief, Sister Shinuo, and Claudia… are all waiting for you to come back!”
The red light in the leopard man’s eyes faded, and his eyes regained a little clarity, and then they tended to turn red again.
”Wake up! Come! Come! Come!!!”
Accompanied by a roar, Natsu’s last punch hit the leopard man’s nose, and he flew out.
The shadow wolves let go, and the leopard man flew out with two spiral flames, bounced twice on the ground and lay on his back.
It looks like he won.
But to be on the safe side, Rhode asked the shadow wolves to lurk, the razor beaks to keep a distance, and the stone beetles to burrow underground.
Prepare to clamp him immediately if the other party moves.
Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen.
A flash of light flashed on the leopard man’s body, and his body began to shrink. His tail, claws and other features all disappeared, and he returned to the appearance of a young man.
”Success!!” Natsu and Happy cheered at the same time.
Rod smiled: “Finally solved… Happy, can you move?”
”Love! When Rod shouted to close the door.”
Rod pulled Happy’s face: “Then why don’t you get up earlier?”
Happy said incoherently: “Because I feel safe when Rod protects me.”
Rod released his hand that was pinching Happy’s face. This kid… really knows how to talk.
The three of them simply relieved the tense atmosphere, and then went to check the condition of the young man who was beaten back to his original form.
This man looks…
Rod couldn’t tell what he looked like, because his nose was crooked by Natsu, his face was still dark, and his hair was curly.
Too miserable.
Besides, his shirt and pants were long gone, leaving him with only a pair of shorts.
Happi asked, “Is he related to Gray?”
”It’s not easy to run into a pervert like Gray.” Rod said, ”Didn’t the village chief say that someone found some of Chita’s clothes on the mountain a few days ago?Maybe it broke when receiving magic.”
Natsu said excitedly: “Anyway, the mission to defeat the Beast King is completed, take him back to the village!”
Happy echoed: “Love! This is the most successful mission, and Natsu didn’t burn the village! Finally I can get the full reward!”
”What does that sentence mean, Happy!” Natsu glared.
”It means that it’s really great to have Rod here.”
”Are you saying I’m a burden! ?”
”Love.”
”Asshole!” Natsu chased Happy and ran around Rod and Chita.
”You two may be too happy too early.” Rod suddenly said: “I remember our mission was to ‘defeat the rioting beasts and possible beast leaders’, and the mission is only half completed.”
”What! ? ”
The two guys who were chasing opened their mouths wide, and Natsu even took out the task list to check it carefully.
Rod said helplessly: “I said, do you usually forget the content of the task?”
”No, because… you asked Mira for so long before coming out this time, and you said a lot of plans,”
Natsu looked at the task list word by word, “I’m about to forget everything except fighting…”
Happy testified for Natsu: “Love, Natsu used his brain occasionally before.
But Rod even arranged transportation, reconnaissance, meals, rest and battle plans. ”
”…” Rhodes was speechless. With me here, your brains have turned on energy-saving mode, and you only use them during battles? Rhodes felt that if he continued like this, he would sooner or later become the guild’s logistics manager.
If he gains a little more strength and experience, he can compete for Mira’s position.
”Anyway, take him back first. Maybe the village chief will be happy and directly announce that our mission is completed. ”
…
It was almost noon, and smoke was rising from every household in the village.
Only the village chief’s house had been quiet.
Village chief Panther sat in his living room, sometimes looking up at his son’s ‘portrait’, and sometimes pacing anxiously in the living room with a cane.
Snow had been taking care of Worm, and occasionally went to change Panther’s pot of hot tea.
Clauti listened to Natsu and waited obediently at home, but when she saw Worm, she was quickly attracted by its cute appearance and wanted to reach out and touch it but didn’t dare.
Because this was an important magical beast left by the wizard for emergency contact, Panther and Snow forbade Clauti to touch it.
Worm didn’t mind playing with Clauti, but Snow prepared too many snacks for it, and eating was indeed more important than playing.
”Village chief! Village chief! “A young man rushed into the village chief’s house, “He’s back! The wizard is back! With Chita! Chita is still alive! Chita is still alive!”
The village chief who was pacing in the living room suddenly stopped, and his cane fell to the floor with a thud.
The old man didn’t bother to pick up the cane, and walked out of the door tremblingly, walking faster and faster, and finally almost jogging.
The receiving magic is very strange. In the comics, Elfman tore his clothes when he used his whole body to receive for the first time, but Mira and Lisanna would not be torn, and even have their own changing clothes
