Chapter 243: Similar Magic, Meeting a Worthy Opponent
Chapter 243: Similar Magic, Meeting a Worthy Opponent
Rod still felt a bit uneasy about sending him off alone, so he dispatched a group of Stone Beetles, a group of Sharp Beak Birds, and a group of Shadow Wolves to accompany him.
This way, even if they encountered a large enemy force, there would still be a chance to escape.
As for the Red, Blue, and Nest Bugs, which consumed more magic power...
In such a situation, it would be somewhat disrespectful to one’s own life to dare to send them out.
"Oh? A touching farewell scene? But unfortunately, I don’t want to see such a performance."
Rastil waved his hand again. "Guardian Holy Beast · Swift Belfast!"
Another giant monster appeared out of nowhere.
It resembled a dinosaur, with a long tail dragging behind it, similarly clad in steel armor, roaring as it charged after Elfman.
"Summon, Crimson Mark Tree Monster!"
The Tree Monster swung its sharp claws, striking the 'dinosaur's' mouth with a red flame.
With a clang, sparks flew from the steel armor, and a piece of armor flew off.
The dinosaur’s massive body staggered under the Tree monster's blow. It shook its dazed head and roared, pouncing on the tree Monster.
The two colossal creatures engaged in a fierce battle, the sound of metal clashing echoing continuously. The surrounding wild grass, shrubs, rocks, and the flat road all suffered damage.
The Magic Beast and the two-horned monster seemed evenly matched. Occasionally, stone chips would fall from one, and the steel armor of the other would be dented.
The Tree monster and the dinosaur monster had a slight advantage, and it wouldn’t be long before the dinosaur monster fell.
However, the two people who summoned these giants were not focused on them but rather had the same thought:
According to the common knowledge of the magic world, if the opponent is a summoner and their summoned beasts are strong, then their own body should be weak!
Rod believed that someone like him, who could handle both hands, was an exception.
Rastilros also believed that someone like one of his companions, who used summoning magic but had a strong physique, was an exception.
At this moment, these two strangers reached a strange consensus, but their eyes became quite aggressive.
Let's try it out first!
"Let you taste my imagination—Dagmorekris Sword!"
"Summon, Deep Red Sharp Beak Bird, Sky-Filling Flying Feathers!"
The swords and feathers flew in unison, creating a deadly barrage of projectiles aimed at their targets.
Facing the dense attacks, both of them simultaneously took to the air.
A pair of small white wings appeared on Rastil's feet, while Rod's arms transformed into red feathered wings.
"On my feet, there are the wings of the Heavenly Horse, capable of free flight!"
"Receive—Deep Red Sharp Beak Bird!"
The exquisite swords and flying feather knives each nailed the spots where they had just stood. The two met in mid-air, both surprised that the other had a flying spell.
However, Rod had a smooth combo move. After receiving the Sharp Beak Bird, he could also use 'Sky-Filling Flying Feathers.'
Another hundred flying feather knives shot towards Rastil in mid-air. Rod deliberately estimated his opponent's flight speed and slightly increased the coverage area.
"On my left hand, there is the Golden Shield that can repel everything!"
A uniquely shaped golden shield materialized out of thin air, deflecting the feather knives that would have struck Rastil.
The two had a similar thought: "This guy is not an ordinary summoner mage."
"Receiving spell?"
"Transformation spell?"
Rastilros was certain of his judgment, but Rod overturned his own thoughts.
Although the usage seemed similar, Rod believed that this person was definitely not using ordinary summoning magic or transformation magic.
As a mage proficient in both summoning and transformation, Rod did not sense the spatial fluctuations that should accompany those types of magic.
Is it related to what he called 'imagination'?
It can't be that he can just think of something and have it appear, right? Why would he come to this small, impoverished village to steal treasures if that were the case?
The two of them landed back on the ground, still on opposite sides of the battlefield where the four giant beasts were fighting.
"Hahaha, that was quite a performance!" Rastilros was no longer concerned about the escaped white-haired man; someone else would naturally take care of him.
The person in front of him was more interesting, having used magic with effects so similar to his own, one after another.
However...
"Can you withstand infinite imagination?" Rastilros spread his arms wide.
A purple-black magic power, or perhaps a special effect created by magic, swirled and gathered around him like a vortex.
Rod felt the powerful magic of his opponent.
In terms of total magic power, he could not compare to Rastilros.
But if the battle were to be prolonged, the recovery ability of the Crown of Insight might give him a fighting chance.
Still, Rod had other concerns besides the current enemy.
Through the crab's vision, he could see that Elfman had just reached the edge of the mountains and was temporarily safe.
As for Worm and the other crab, they had found a small town and successfully borrowed a communication magic crystal.
Worm didn't know how to use it, but a man in a black suit helped connect the communication magic crystal to Fairy Tail's crystal.
Through the crab's vision, seeing the communication magic crystal, and then seeing Mira's figure through the crystal, felt a bit strange.
As Worm showed the two handwritten papers from Rod, Mira's expression became somewhat anxious.
Soon, Mira's figure disappeared, and the guild master appeared on the screen.
The guild master said something, and the man in the black suit picked up a pen and paper to write, then showed it to the crab.
"Do not rashly engage in conflict; I will send reinforcements immediately."
Rod smiled bitterly; the conflict had already begun.
Fortunately, the Heart of the Demon probably hadn't sent all their members; otherwise, being surrounded by seven people as strong as Rastilros would have been a death sentence.
After the communication ended, the man in the black suit immediately contacted the Council, clearly aware of the weight of the Dark Guild, Heart of the Demon.
He was probably worried that the presence of such dangerous individuals could bring disaster to the town, just like what happened in Monotropa.
Boom!
"Oooh~~~" The steel-armored dinosaur monster was hit by the tree monster again, finally letting out a mournful cry as it fell to the ground, its body slowly dissipating.
"Belfast!" Rastilros was surprised that his Guardian Holy Beast had been defeated so quickly.
When he noticed Rod's state, his anger surged. "Impudent fairy, you dare to be distracted when facing a demon! Don't think you have the upper hand!"
"Appear! My third Guardian Holy Beast, the Ice of Aluketic!"
"And my fourth, the Blizzard of Antaketic!"
An ice crystal bear and a snowy mammoth appeared on either side of him, each letting out a roar as they charged towards the tree monster.
Rod winced; could this guy summon these things infinitely?
