Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

The leopard man's upper body was engulfed in flames, and two stone beetles sent a signal to Rhodes requesting retreat.

Maybe it's too hot. After all, stone beetles are insects, not rocks.

Rhodes was worried whether Naz's move would directly kill him.

In fact, Natsu knew quite well when it was time to hold back.

How much magic power the opponent has to use for defense, how much magic power you should use to attack, the opponent's fighting habits, etc.

After two brief encounters with this information, Natsu had almost tested it.

He has considerable experience in this kind of thing.

On the contrary, Rhodes was still far behind in this aspect. If he really took over the task of defeating the bandits, he might get killed.

Just like the last time I caught a robber on the street and casually broke people's bones, his hands were neither light nor heavy.

When the flames dissipated, the leopard man's upper body emitted a burning smell, his hair was curled up, and there were still flames in some places.

But he did not fall. Instead, he roared in the sky and punched the two stone beetles with one punch on each side, turning them into four mini stone beetles.

The mini stone beetles wanted to continue to execute the "hug the legs" command, but the leopard man reacted and kicked them all away.

Two flew towards Natsu, and two flew towards Rhodes. This footwork is definitely a talent for playing football.

"Force closing!"

Rhodes waved the mini stone beetles back and ordered a stone beetle underground and a group of stone beetles originally responsible for blocking the road to attack.

It's just that the stone beetles couldn't catch up with the speed at which the leopard man pounced on Natsu.

Natsu punched the leopard man head-on.

This time, Natsu was knocked back a few steps. The strength of the Leopard Man in the second stage was indeed outstanding.

"Razorbill, Feather!"

The sharp-beaked birds shoot single-shot flight feathers at the leopard men to avoid accidentally injuring their friends.

The leopard man took two steps back quickly, and when he was about to move forward again, he stumbled, and his tail was caught by something.

When I looked back, I saw the four mouths of three wolves hanging on the thick leopard tail.

"Beautiful, Rhodes! Continuous Fire Dragon Punch!" Natsu rushed forward, waving his arms, and rained down flaming fists on the Leopard Man's face and chest.

"Oh oh oh!!!" Natsu roared in response to his fists.

"Wake up, you leopard bastard! Ohhhhh!!!"

The leopard man was beaten so hard that he staggered and let out a low growl.

"Grandpa the village elder, Sister Sino, 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 trace of clarity, and then turned red again.

"Give me! Wake up! Come over! Come!!!"

With a roar, Natsu's last punch hit the leopard man on the nose, sending him flying away.

The shadow wolves let go, and the leopard man flew out with two spiral flames, bounced twice on the ground and lay still.

It looked like the battle was won.

But to be on the safe side, Rhodes asked the shadow wolves to lurk, the sharp-beaked birds to keep their distance, and the stone beetles to escape.

Be prepared to clamp down as soon as the opponent moves.

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen.

There was a flash of light on the leopard man's body, and his size 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 simultaneously.

Rhodes smiled: "Finally solved... Habi, can you move?"

"Love! When Rod shouted to force the door to close."

Rhodes pulled Habi's face: "Then why don't you get up earlier?"

Habi said inarticulately: "Because it feels safe to be protected by Rhodes."

Rhodes released his grip on Habi's face. This kid... really knows how to talk.

The three of them briefly relieved the tension before going to check on the condition of the young man who had been knocked back to his original shape.

This man looks...

Rhodes 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 bad.

Moreover, his shirt and pants were long gone, and he only had a pair of large pants.

Happy asked, "Is he someone from Gray?"

"Perverts like Gray shouldn't be that easy to encounter," Rhodes said.

"Didn't the village chief say that someone found Qita's torn clothes on the mountain a few days ago? It may have been torn while receiving magic."

Natsu said excitedly: "In short, the mission of defeating the Beast King is completed. Let's take him back to the village!"

Happy echoed: "Love! This was the smoothest mission ever, and Natsu didn't burn down the village! I finally got paid in full!"

"What do you mean by that, Happy!" Natsu glared.

"It just means it's great to have Rhodes here."

"Are you calling me a burden!?"

"like."

"Bastard!" Natsu chased Happy and ran in circles around Rhodes and Chita.

"You two may be too happy too early." Rhodes suddenly said:

"I remember that our mission was to 'conquer the rioting beast herd and the possible beast herd leader', and the mission was only half completed."

"What!?"

The two chasing guys opened their mouths wide, and Natsu even pulled out the mission sheet to check it carefully.

Rhodes said helplessly: "I said you usually don't even remember the content of the mission?"

"No, because...you asked Mira for so long before coming out this time, and you told many plans,"

Natsu read the task list word by word, "I'm about to forget everything except fighting..."

Happi testified for Natsu: "Love, Natsu used his brain occasionally before.

But Rod has even arranged transportation, reconnaissance, meals, rest and battle plans."

"..." Rod was speechless. It seems that with me here, your brains have turned on energy-saving mode, and you only use them when fighting?

Rod felt that if he continued like this, he would sooner or later become the guild's logistics manager.

With a little more strength and experience, he could 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 walking anxiously in the living room with a cane.

Snow had been looking after Worm, and occasionally went to change a pot of hot tea for Panther.

Clauti listened to Natsu and waited obediently at home, but when she saw Worm, she was quickly attracted by its cute appearance. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but she 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. 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 thump.

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, when Elfman used the whole body to receive magic for the first time, his clothes were torn, but Mira and Lisanna's clothes were not torn, and they even had their own clothes.
