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

Chapter 76 Beat him!

Rhodes understood and comprehended Natsu's determination.

After experiencing something like that, kind people would not want anyone else to suffer the same fate.

Then let's go all out and beat that unlucky guy back to his original form.

When Happy came back with two fishes, Natsu was already sharing the barbecue with Rod.

Rhodes took two bites, but because he was too worried, he found the food tasteless.

In order to quickly recover his physical strength and magic power, he chewed and swallowed mechanically, and after feeling full, he meditated for a while.

By the time the harpy's fish was cooked and Rod's magic power was almost recovered, the three of them put out the fire and set out again.

Although the leopard man changed locations many times after escaping, Natsu had memorized his scent, so it was not difficult to find him.

Since Naz was in charge of tracking, Rhodes would just send Hexie to scout the terrain.

He would try to find a few places with low fire risks as reserve battlefields.

"found it!"

The three of them climbed over the second peak of the Dendrobium Mountain Range before they finally saw the Leopard Man again.

"This guy can really run." Rhodes held the pendant and summoned a group of shadow wolves and a group of raptors.

The group of Shadow Wolves and Razorbacks lost in the previous battle will have to wait until tomorrow to recover.

The stone beetle was kept as a backup, and the two magic frogs could not be used indiscriminately because there was no antidote.

"Natsu, there is a nice open space 300 meters to the left of the maple forest ahead, and 200 meters ahead."

"I understand. Let's try to lure him there to fight, okay?" Natsu is quite sensible. Most of the time, he doesn't cause trouble on purpose.

Rod recalled a river crab, intending to let it carry Natsu to charge, while he and Happy followed the usual practice of finding a suitable big tree to watch the battle.

It must be safe and convenient for Rhodes to temporarily command wild monsters.

"Charge!" Natsu jumped onto the crab's back and excitedly grabbed the crab's tentacles to urge it to charge.

The leopard man noticed Natsu and his first reaction was to leave.

Just as he turned to the right and prepared to escape, hundreds of feathers shot down from the air.

The leopard man took a few steps back to avoid the feathers, and found that three wolves had blocked his way at some point.

He was not afraid of this kind of wolf, but did not want to waste time, so he moved his feet and ran to the left.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Under Natsu's urging, River Crab used his skills and ran away leaving a trail of afterimages.

Rhodes really wanted to name Hexie's acceleration skill "Lingbo Weibu", but he was always worried that the effect and the name didn't match.

As the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, Natsu could no longer hold back and launched himself on the crab's back:

"The fire dragon's sword horn!"

Natsu's body spun around, as if surrounded by a whirlwind of fire, and he crashed into the leopard man's back.

The Leopard Man stumbled and fell forward, then rolled forward, ran a few steps on all fours, and continued to flee, even faster.

"Hey! Weren't you very good at fighting just now? Why are you running this time?" Natsu was so angry that he jumped up and down but had to chase him.

The river crab carried Natsu again, and Rod, Happy and other wild monsters followed behind.

Seeing the Leopard Man rushing out of the maple forest and about to reach the target battlefield, Habby suggested: "Rod, throw us out."

"Okay." Rod grabbed Habby's body, imitated the posture of a sports student throwing a discus, spun his body around, and threw Habby forward.

The harpy flipped deftly in the air, adjusted its posture, grew wings, and increased its speed, even catching up with the river crab in front.

"Natsu!" Happy grabbed Natsu's shoulders, "Maximum speed, MAX SPE~E~D!"

After catching Natsu, the Happy's speed actually increased even more, and he carried Natsu over the leopard man's head before letting go.

"Well done, Happy!" Natsu flipped and kicked in the air, "Fire Dragon's Hook Claw!" The leopard man had to stop and crossed his arms to block the kick from above, his wrists were blackened by the flames on Natsu's feet.

"Answer the call, Ancient Stone Beetle!"

Before the Leopard Man could turn around, a group of stone beetles blocked his retreat and another group of stone beetles burrowed into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the Shadow Wolves and Razorbacks blocked the left and right positions.

With no way to retreat, the Leopard Man had no choice but to fight, and his target was the Shadow Wolf.

They look easier to bully.

The shadow wolves dodged flexibly, and whenever they had the chance they would tentatively pounce and bite the leopard man's wrist.

Natsu would not let Shadow Wolf get beaten, so he rushed forward in two or three steps: "Fight with me, bastard! Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

The Leopard People were forced to engage in battle.

On the other side, there was a small problem with the harpy.

Before he landed, the wings behind him suddenly disappeared, and he fell on the grass with a flutter, rolling out. When he stopped, he was seeing stars and couldn't move.

The rapid acceleration just now was not easy at all for the harpy.

As a man of honor, Rod took a 'huge risk' to go around the battlefield and pick up the harpy.

"It turns out that the harpy has a special skill too."

"Love~~" Habib felt dizzy and weak.

Rod wanted to complain about the harpy, saying that if it became like this, then all the retreat plans he had told him would be in vain.

But in the end I still couldn't bear to say it out loud.

"Leave the rest to us." Rhodes looked at the battlefield. The Leopard Man was entangled by Natsu and the Shadow Wolves and was unable to escape.

But he didn't know whether it was driven by instinct or by his brain, but he always wanted to find an opportunity to kill the weaker Shadow Wolves to escape.

Rhodes saw the opportunity and raised his finger: "Ancient Stone Beetle!"

With a crack, the ancient stone beetle broke out of the ground, and its giant pincer-like mouthparts bit the leopard man's lower back.

"Roar!!!" The leopard man held the mouthparts clamped at his waist with both hands. The muscles on his arms bulged, making him look a little more sturdy.

Under his tremendous force, the ancient stone beetle actually showed signs of loosening.

At this time, Natsu jumped up and punched the leopard man in the side of the face: "Wake up, bastard!"

The Leopard Man's head was hit so hard that it tilted to the side and the flesh on his cheeks was shaking.

Rhodes could see the power of this punch from a distance, and the posture of this punch looked very familiar, as if he had seen it when watching a fight in a tavern.

The leopard man's eyes became clear for a moment, but then turned completely blood red.

His limbs and neck swelled up, his body became muscular, and he looked full of strength.

Immediately afterwards, the leopard man really forcibly pried open the mouthparts of the ancient stone beetle.

He turned around, clasped his fingers together, and smashed the ancient stone beetle with a heavy hammer, turning it into two stone beetles.

Rhodes frowned: "(Expletive), there really are two stages!"

Natsu, however, became happy: "Sure enough, beating him up really worked!"

The second phase was also expected and did not affect Rhodes's command:

"Shadow Wolf, retreat! Stone Beetle! Bite your legs! Natsu!"

"Understood!" Natsu took a deep breath, and while the leopard man was unable to move, he blew out a blazing flame.

"The roar of the fire dragon!"
