Chapter 239: Canyon Pioneer
Chapter 239 Canyon Pioneer
Rhodes' description of the Rift Herald made Makarov very uneasy.
As the creatures he summoned grew stronger and more bizarre, Makarov felt the need to find a wider, more sparsely populated area.
So he took Rhodes to the northwest, around the hillside where the girls' dormitory was located, and left the city limits of Magnolia.
We didn't stop until we reached a place farther north, surrounded by mountains and lakes.
Not to mention people, there are not many animals in this place. Even if you make some noise, you don't have to pay for it.
Since he expected that summoning the Canyon Pioneer would consume a lot of magic power, Rhodes made some preparations in advance.
First summon two river crabs and let them run around to make sure that no one is approaching.
Then summon the blue glyphed golem, add a crown of insight to yourself, and keep it until the magic power is completely restored before letting the river crab and the golem go back.
In this way, the effect of the latest Crown of Insight can last for about two minutes, which is almost equivalent to an extra tube of mana.
It's just that it can't all be restored immediately.
Makarov watched him busy and didn't say much, only helping to arrange some defensive measures as before.
Although he felt that the chance of using it was low, it would be good to make the child feel at ease.
As the chant was completed, Rhodes' face turned pale, which was a sign of losing a lot of magic power in an instant.
Not to mention completely draining his magic power this time.
Purple light gathered on the ground in front, and Makarov and Rhodes heard a roar.
The sound was both insect-like and snake-like.
Then a huge purple creature appeared, raised its body and roared to the sky, then stood still quietly.
I always feel that the body structure of this thing is somewhat similar to that of a river crab.
However, it is different from the river crab in that it has a pair of hard-shell-like wings, a long tail, a single horn on its head, and is much larger than the river crab.
If the river crab is a car, then this one is a heavy truck.
Canyon Pioneer, commonly known as Pioneer, Dragon Son, Big River Crab, etc.
Since LOL is a tower demolition game (probably), and the most important function of Rift Pioneer is to help demolish defense towers, it is a very important strategic wild monster in the game.
In addition, the new version of the Canyon Pioneer can also allow people to jump on its back, leading people to charge quickly and knock away enemies.
Because the operation and special effects look like an experienced driver driving it, this thing is quite popular—who can resist showing off in a combat game?
After Rhodes' summoning matured, he briefly contacted the Canyon Pioneer and obtained some brief information.
As for its actual function, it is up to him to explore it himself.
Makarov looked at Rhodes's face and asked with concern: "How is your magic power?"
"It won't last long, let's try its power and let it retreat." Rhodes pointed at the desolate hillside next to him, "Demolish it!"
The Pioneer roared and stood up, as if it was a movement of accumulating energy. Then its wings vibrated slightly and charged towards the hillside with purple light and shadow.
Bang~~~~
The Canyon Pioneer hit the hillside with its head and made a thunderous explosion.
The impact area on the hillside seemed to be equipped with explosives, and countless large and small rocks flew out with a bang.
The defensive magic circle set up by Makarov lit up and blocked the rocks that were thrown at the two of them.
"What an amazing destructive power!" Makarov sighed.
From his perspective, he could see that the cracks on the mountain spread from the impact point, extending downward to the ground, upward to the top of the mountain, and spreading to almost the entire mountain on both sides.
If he transformed into a giant and punched the hillside, he might be able to cause the same noise, but it would be difficult to destroy it so 'uniformly'.
This monster called the Canyon Pioneer seems to be attacking to destroy the entire mountain.
Since the order he received was to "dismantle", the Pioneer didn't give up after the collision. He raised his giant tongs and hit the impact area hard.
There was another burst of gravel flying, and the hillside seemed to shake. The cracks on the mountain became more dense, and more gravel rolled down the hillside. "Stop!" Rhodes quickly called to stop. After a few more hits, the hill was really gone.
The Canyon Pioneer stopped the raised pliers and retracted them, highlighting an excellent quality that was forbidden.
Makarov sighed: "Let's let it be dismantled. It will be more dangerous now."
"That's right, then..." Rhodes looked ugly and couldn't hold it anymore.
Although the effect of the Crown of Insight is still there, the recovery cannot keep up with the consumption.
After the Canyon Pioneer replenished his pliers, his figure became illusory and finally disappeared.
The good news is that after it disappeared, the speed of magic recovery became noticeable.
Looking at the crumbling hillside, Rhodes said sheepishly: "How about you come? Just wait for me for a few more minutes."
"There's really nothing we can do." Makarov's size swelled and his huge fist hit the mountain.
The already crumbling hillside rumbled and collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble, and the nearby ground trembled.
Dust was flying all over the sky, and the place where the two stood was covered with a layer of earthy yellow fog.
Rhodes covered his mouth and nose, and the next second he was grabbed by the chairman's big hand and lifted away from the height of most of the dust.
Makarov took Rhodes out of the dust range before returning to his normal shape.
The old man had a happy smile on his face: "Suddenly I feel my mood has improved, let's go back!"
Oh, you feel better after collapsing a hill. You are also a restless saboteur, right?
Rhodes summoned the river crab and returned to the guild with the president.
On the way, Makarov asked curiously: "What will you summon next?"
"Maybe it's a dragon."
"Dragon?" Makarov thought of the rumors on the day he picked up Rhodes. It was said that someone saw a dragon hovering over the forest.
"I'm not sure if it has the same concept as the dragon Natsu is looking for. I'll find out after I work hard for a few more months."
I don’t know how long it will take to turn the Canyon Pioneer into a regular combat force. It will probably take a few months for Xiaolong to see it.
This is because the existence of blue buff can greatly reduce the mana requirement to turn new wild monsters into regular combat power.
Makarov remained silent, the dragon slayer, the dragon...
A few more months?
What kind of big things will happen?
"President, Rhodes, is finally back. Sister Mira has been waiting for you for a long time."
Makarov asked: "What's the matter?"
"It's the Cherry Blossom Festival, the Cherry Blossom Festival!" Lucky said, "The day after tomorrow is the Cherry Blossom Festival, and preparations will begin today."
"It's that time again!" Makarov became excited, "How about we hold a banquet starting today?"
"Your mood changes so quickly..." Rhodes saw the president's worried look just now.
"Of course!" Makarov said,
"There are unpredictable circumstances. Sometimes we can easily complete tasks and get high rewards, but sometimes we have to fight with our lives for meager rewards.
It is the tradition of mages not to give up the mission easily. But no matter how worried you are now, tomorrow will definitely come.
Therefore, as a magician, you can neither slacken your daily practice nor neglect today's happiness.
No matter what happens tomorrow, we will always hold on to this idea and walk forward bravely. "
Makarov stretched out a hand, with his index finger pointing up and his thumb open, with a kind smile on his face:
"Only in this way can one be considered a wizard of Fairy Tail."
