Luo Ka looked shocked: "That woman is so strong! She can actually fight to such an extent with Brother Bugs."

hehe.

Rhodes held the pendant and sent the other wild monsters back: "Summon, the crimson mark tree monster!"

"Hey, what are you going to do?"

"Help the field, have you forgotten that this is a team competition?" Rhodes pointed at Erza as a matter of course, "Crown of Embers!"

A red stream of light appeared around Erza, contrasting with the blue light pattern that was already there.

Rhodes felt the speed of magic power loss and recovery, and felt like he was doing a primary school student's math problem of draining and catching water.

After a simple calculation, Rhodes was a little touched. It was not easy. He was finally able to incorporate this big guy into regular combat instead of using it as a burst skill!

No, it's not rigorous, it can barely be incorporated into regular combat.

Rhodes pointed at Bugs and said, "Fuck him!"

The tree monster spread out its limbs and ran, obviously faster than the golem.

Bugs noticed the movement here and said in surprise: "Lorca?"

Luo Ka raised a hand in shame: "Brother, I lost."

Bugs was a little unbelievable, Luo Ka was not weak at all, otherwise he would not have been assigned as his assistant by the president.

How could it be solved so quickly?

"You'd better be careful, or Rhodes will surprise you." Erza felt the swelling and pain in her shoulder disappear quickly, and a long sword appeared in her right hand, and she swung the two swords at Bugs again.

"Surprise? You mean that big guy?" Bugs swayed from side to side, dodging Erza's chops.

The tree monster has already arrived in front of him, and its claws are sweeping towards Bugs with strong winds - one of the best ways to restrain your movement is to have a large enough attack range.

"This kind of thing... Zui·Piguazhang!"

Bugs' right palm seemed to be filled with magical light, and he hit the palm of the tree monster hard.

Bang!

There was a thunderous sound, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

"What?" Bugs' purple arm armor was shattered, and he was knocked back several steps by the power of the tree monster, his right arm trembling slightly.

He felt the tingling sensation on his arm: "What is this power...?"

"Ouch~" The tree monster also roared, its palm exploded, countless splinters flew, and its left forelimb looked like a tree that had been hit hard.

The tree monster is a guy whose defense is slightly inferior to the golem, but its speed and attack power are much higher.

"Admit defeat, Bugs!" Erza slashed with both swords from top to bottom at the same time.

"It's still early!" Bugs raised his palms, magic power gathered in his palms, and he actually used his flesh palms to fight against the sharp blade.

Bang!

The blade of the sword struck the palm of his hand, making the sound of a blunt weapon. The ground beneath Bugs' feet shattered, indicating the power of the blow.

Bugs wants to say that although Erza's flying armor is fast, its power is lacking.

But at this moment, the red light on Erza's body had already clung to the sword blade like a flame.

Bugs felt a similar tingling sensation in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, the gauntlet on his left arm also exploded, and the injury on his right arm worsened, making him no longer able to resist Erza's attack.

The blade fell and stopped at the tip of Bugs' nose.

Bugs closed his eyes, then smiled freely and fell to the ground: "Haha, I lost."

Erza returned to her normal attire and said with a smile: "It's not that I won you, we won you."

Bugs found his wine gourd, and his arms were still shaking a little while drinking: "This is very nerve-wracking. I will be nagged by the old man when I go back."

Rhodes came over and pointed at Bugs before sending the tree monster back: "Crown of Embers."

Bugs felt the discomfort on his arm slowly subside: "What is this kind of magic... called? Forget it."

Can't think of it anymore, Bugs said to Erza: "You have a great partner." Erza smiled: "I think so too."

"Thank you." Rhodes tried his best to manage his expression, hahaha, it's okay to praise him more.

Luo Ka followed, rubbed his swollen face, and said aggrievedly: "Why don't you treat me too?"

"Sorry, this magic can only be used on two people in a short period of time." Rhodes said, "He seems to be seriously injured."

"Okay Lorca, now that the winner has been decided, let's go back." Bugs said, "I look forward to playing against you next time."

Rhodes said: "Generally speaking, at this time, shouldn't you stay and listen to our instructions, help us complete the mission, and then leave?"

"Ah?" Bugs didn't know whether he was really drunk or pretending to be drunk. "As a punishment for the loser, it's not impossible...but, do you really want us to intervene in this mission?"

From Rhode's selfish point of view, there is nothing wrong with having multiple S-class thugs, but from the guild's point of view, it is indeed better for them to be solved by their own people.

Erza also felt the same way: "I'll see you again in the future."

Having a fight to eliminate one interfering factor should be considered a good thing for completing the task.

It was all because the president was looking for trouble. Rhodes decided to go back and collude with Mira to persecute him, such as adding some chili oil to his wine.

Bugs and Lorca say goodbye and leave.

Erza and Rhodes rested for a moment before starting to look for clues again.

After walking a few steps, Rhodes suddenly slapped his thigh: "It broke, I forgot to ask for compensation!"

"compensation?"

"Yes, the shoulder armor of your Flying Armor and the two Heavenly Wheel Swords have been damaged, right?" Rhodes said, "Is the mission reward enough for you to repair the armor and replenish the weapons?"

"The price of simple repairs is not that expensive." Erza calculated and said, "Today's loss is enough, tens of thousands J."

"That's really not expensive..." Rhodes found himself confused. His monthly salary for a part-time job was only 120,000 J, but now he actually thinks that repairing armor and weapons worth tens of thousands J is not expensive.

Erza's knight magic is not something that ordinary people can afford, and she is very good at receiving magic.

The rich rely on technology, while the poor rely on mutation.

The sun gradually sets in the west, the weather becomes colder, and a thin layer of fog forms on the ground.

Slowly, the fog became thicker and began to obscure the two people's vision.

"Rhodes." Erza reminded.

"Yeah." Rhodes nodded to express his understanding.

There was something wrong with this fog, and I always felt like there was a vague sight staring at them through the thick fog.

Rhodes and Erza were close together, one on the left and the other on the right, alert to possible attacks at any time.

The two river crabs were summoned back by Rhodes, and they followed each other about three meters away. If they were further away, they would be completely invisible.

The sharp-beaked birds were scattered at the limit of the two river crabs' field of vision. With their limited field of vision, they could only conduct physical reconnaissance and vigilance.

Suddenly, two red lights appeared in the thick fog, and a sharp-beaked bird cried sadly and disappeared.

Erza rushed over immediately, but the attacker had disappeared.

"Feathers all over the sky!"

Rhodes commanded the sharp-beaked birds to scatter feather knives around, but they could not get the desired feedback. They could only hear the slight sound of feathers being inserted into the soil.

"Cha~" Another sharp-beaked bird screamed and disappeared. With the help of the river crab's vision, Rhodes only saw a black shadow flashing past.

"Humanoid, with an outline of armor." Rhodes said the information he got in a short time.
Chapter completed!
