Chapter 343 Despicable Ghost
The general attacking team was led by the two veterans, Makao and Wakaba, followed closely by Nabu, Marcus, Lucky, Pidgeda, Miji and others, each leading a small team.
Generally speaking, people with less serious injuries are arranged in the front, and people with more severe injuries but are able to move are placed at the back.
The person in the front was carrying a magic book, and the person in the back was carrying a bulging backpack—this trip basically brought out all the guild’s inventory.
When Macao was moving things out of the warehouse, he felt distressed, but Rhodes knew that now was not the time to care about this.
Shouldn't consumables be used at this time? It's better to use them all and feel bad afterwards than to save a few magic crystals to delay the battle or damage the companions.
Well... Rhodes hopes that the president can forgive him for his prodigal behavior afterwards.
The weather today was average, mainly because there was no wind, so the smoke and dust caused by the collapse of the mechanical leg and the landing of the ghost dissipated too slowly.
Mira, Erza and Lucy came over looking at a flash of blue light.
Sure enough, it was the Blue Carved Golem.
Without saying anything, Rhodes first added a Crown of Insight to Mira, then summoned a second golem, and added one to Erza and Lucy.
Several people said hello, and Rhodes didn't care to say anything else: "Lucy, can you ask Baruge to come out?"
"Ah? Yes!" Lucy took out the key from her waist, "Open it, the door of Virgo, Baruge!"
Golden light formed the keyhole, and the illusory door flashed away, and a pink-haired girl wearing a maid outfit, white stockings on her legs, and shackles on her wrists appeared.
Baruge put her right hand on her chest, bowed slightly to Lucy, and opened her mouth with explosive lines:
"Princess, do you want to train me?"
Lucy retorted: "Who would do that!"
Rod looked at the shackles on the ballo singer, then looked at the whip around Lucy's waist, and said as if he suddenly realized: "Oh, so Lucy has such a hobby."
"No!" Lucy found that it seemed difficult to choose a decent one among her Celestial Spirits. Surprisingly, these guys were all suitable for Fairy Tail.
She said with a headache: "Mr. Rhodes has something to ask of you."
"Lord, this is our first meeting." Baruge greeted politely, "Good day, Erza, and..."
Lucy introduced: "It's Miss Mira."
"Mira-sama, it's our first time meeting you." The honorific used by Baruge seemed more humble than the one Wendy was accustomed to using, as if she had completely assumed the role of a maid.
Several people smiled and greeted her.
Rhodes said: "I heard from my companions that you are very good at earth magic, especially digging holes, so I want to ask you to go to that building."
Baluge tilted his head and asked doubtfully: "Are you doing it as a trap?"
"Hmm..." Rhodes pondered and then nodded, "That's okay."
"What do you mean it's okay?" Lucy couldn't help but said, "You haven't even thought about it yourself?"
Rhodes said: "Originally, I wanted her to cause as much damage as possible. It would be best to hollow out all the places she could dig and collapse the entire castle. Now think about it, if it's too late, it can be used as a trap.
good."
Because I heard that the ghost's building has a second-stage transformation and can use very destructive magic, Rhodes is not sure whether just destroying two legs can stop it.
Just in case, it is better to do more damage to feel at ease, and there are professionals.
"Understood, then Princess, I'm going, please punish me later." Baluge said goodbye to Lucy, and then she turned around and dived into the ground with a bang.
Her burrowing posture is different from Rhodes's swimming posture in stone beetle form, and it actually makes a hole.
Although she could no longer see her figure, Lucy was still complaining about her: "Why must she be punished..."
But she was in a good mood, because after following Erza and Mira for so long, she finally had her own mission.
Erza frowned: "Something is approaching."
The smoke and dust were too thick to see clearly.
Rhodes thought for a while and asked directly on the 'public channel': "Can anyone disperse the smoke and dust?"
"Leave it to me." It was Arzak's voice.
From a nearby hill, more than a dozen bullets flew one after another and landed around the ghost.
Several tornadoes immediately rolled up nearby. They were not particularly powerful, but they were enough to blow away the surrounding dust.
Gun Bullet Magic·Hurricane Bullet·Non-attack lightweight version.
"Mission accomplished."
"Nice job."
As soon as the smoke cleared, several people saw what Erza was referring to when she said something was approaching.
It is a dense blue-purple 'river' that keeps 'flowing' forward. If you look carefully, you can distinguish one insect after another that is higher than a human knee.
The void worms gathered together and jumped towards the ghost's building.
If they encounter obstructive stones on the road or building materials that have fallen off the mechanical legs and rolled over, they will simply chew them up.
Like locusts passing through.
When I arrived, I didn't chew up the ice road created by Gray. It was a good sign that the three void brood worms were restrained. Thank God.
The moment the smoke dispersed, they became excited as if they had seen prey, and seemed to move faster.
Lucy bit her finger: "Oh~~~It's so scary!"
Although we had seen them once before when we were responding to everyone's retreat, the number at that time was not as large as now.
She originally wanted to say it was disgusting, but when she thought about it being a friendly force summoned by her companions, she changed it to how scary it was.
And there are several thousand of them, right? To a certain extent, Mr. Rhodes is terrifying.
As soon as the worms arrived, they didn't need Rhode's command at all. The first ones had already actively climbed up the ghost's foundation and started chewing.
Those who were lagging behind tried their best to squeeze into the empty space. If they couldn't squeeze in, they stepped on the bodies of their companions and continued to jump forward. When they found a gap, they started to nibble.
The part in the rear takes the same action, and the part spreads to both sides.
It's like the rapid flow of water meets a pile of sand slightly protruding from the water. Some of it rushes up and wets the sand above, and some of it flows on both sides and wets the surrounding sand.
As long as water is given for enough time, the sand pile will always be eroded smaller and smaller.
Erza said in surprise: "Although I heard you talk about their abilities, it's still amazing to see them with your own eyes."
Rhodes smiled bitterly: "It's better if you don't feel disgusted."
"No way." Mira comforted, "Actually, if you look carefully, it's a different kind of cuteness."
Erza stared at it for a while, then nodded and said, "If you say so, there is indeed a point."
"..." Lucy stared at it for a while, feeling goosebumps on her arms. She couldn't tell what was so cute about it.
Rhodes didn't know what to say. He felt that Mira was comforting him, and Erza really saw the cuteness of the worms.
Seeing the worms drifting with the tide and chewing randomly, Erza asked, "Why don't you plan a little destruction route?"
Rhodes shook his head: "There is no way to plan, these guys have too low IQ, I can only order them to attack and stop. More complicated orders require the female insect to give them.
And even if it is done, there will be some accidents or delays, and it may not be fully executed."
A lot of it, right? It’s for IQ.
Loki's voice suddenly sounded: "There are too many enemies, we have to withdraw!"
Rhodes replied: "Feel free to retreat, the first batch of reinforcements has arrived."
Several people heard a loud bang, as if Elfman transformed into the Beast King and smashed a large piece of the gate tower of the Ghost's main entrance.
Many enemies were buried below, and the pursuit path was temporarily blocked.
The three people in the feint team can relax a little.
Rhodes asked in passing: "How are Natsu and Gray doing?"
"I'm busy! Hahahaha!"
Firelight lit up from the second-floor window of a certain building. Because the building stopped, Natsu seemed to be happy.
Gray didn't reply, but an ice gun shot out of the window, and he was probably enjoying himself.
Rhodes thought for a while and said: "Let's move closer to Naz and Gray. It feels like these two guys are not far away from being beaten."
After walking a few steps, they suddenly heard Natsu's voice again: "Wow! Damn it, they are actually digging a trap upstairs. Damn ghost, everyone, be careful!"
