Chapter 332 - Chapter 40: I'll Kill You!

Sure, here's the translation as requested:

"Crown of Insight, Crown of Embers." Rhode first buffed himself and Mira as usual.

Sol said calmly, "Fairy Tail Strategist, originally known as Beast Tamer, a Summoning Mage, able to maintain multiple summoned beasts at once, skilled in winning by numbers, close combat abilities enough to handle ordinary small fries..."

"But... may not be able to surpass us, the Four Elements." Sol flipped mid-air, "Dance of the Sand, Rock Concerto!"

A sandstorm suddenly appeared in the alley, obscuring the vision of the three, followed by dozens of stones shooting like cannonballs.

But creating a sandstorm in the rain was most effective in covering them all in mud.

The golem didn't dodge or evade, running forward with a rumble, the stones that hit it couldn't leave noticeable marks.

A huge fist struck at Sol's head, but Sol burrowed into the ground.

Rhode held Lucy under her armpits like a child, lifting and throwing her onto the Tree Monster's back to avoid any ambush.

"Ah!" Lucy exclaimed.

Rhode instructed briefly, "Hold tight, don't come down."

Mira glanced at Rhode; he never held her that way.

Lucy lay on the Tree Monster's back and shouted to Rhode, "I want to fight too!"

"... As you wish!" Who's stopping you from fighting, summon your Star Spirit already?

Rhode commanded the golem to continue attacking Jubia.

Jubia didn't dodge, the part of her body that was hit transformed into water, then reformed into solid form: "It won't work, Jubia's body is made of water."

She waved and shot out two Water Blades: "Water Flow Slash!"

Mira waved and dispersed the Water Blades, directly charging toward Jubia.

"Even breaking Jubia's magic..." Before she finished, her abdomen was punched, "Told you, Jubia's body is... ahhh!"

A red glow on Mira's fist flashed.

Though Jubia's body once again turned into water, allowing Mira's fist to pass through, her abdomen still felt a sharp burning pain.

"Made of water? Then how about this move?" A black ball appeared in Mira's hand and pressed against Jubia's chest, "Dark Spark!"

The black magic ball exploded fiercely, pushing Jubia's body to the entrance of the alley.

"Aahhh—" Jubia felt such intense pain for the first time.

She stood up clutching her chest, looking at the terrifying woman walking toward her step by step, the rain seemed to fall heavier: "This is the Demon... Mirajane!"

"Miss Jubia did well." Sol emerged from the ground.

The Tree Monster lifted its claw to strike but hit air, only creating a crater on the ground.

Sol emerged from behind the Tree Monster: "Lured away the demon, you all are nothing. What Fairy Tail Strategist? Just riding on your girlfriend's power to act high and mighty."

Rhode tried attacking several times, but the opponent was slippery.

He didn't recklessly use Stone Beetle form to engage underground.

After all, the opponent is an S-Class Earth Mage, although his power might differ from Mira's, randomly challenging someone in their field of expertise is generally unwise.

Better test his limits first.

"Let me help too! I am the one who connects the road to the Star Spirit Realm, you... answer my call, traverse the door! Open, the door of Sagittarius, Sajidarius!"

"Hey hey, I'm here!" A person dressed in a horse costume appeared, holding a bow, with a quiver on his back.

"Why the costume!" Lucy even complained about her own Star Spirit, "Though we haven't signed a contract, can't help now, are you an Archer?"

Sajidarius saluted: "Yes, I am a Divine Archer, hey hey."

"Great, that green-haired one is the enemy, attack him immediately whenever he appears!"

"No problem, just leave it to me, hey hey!"

"Ugh, it was the same with Balrog last time, always rushing into battle before a new contract with every new Star Spirit."

Lucy complained to herself, then pulled out the whip from her waist.

"You summoning type are so weak."

Sol continued outputting, popping out like playing whack-a-mole, saying a sentence then immediately disappearing, seemingly trying to shake Rhode's mental defense.

Sajidarius shot several arrows in succession, the arrowheads pierced the stones on the ground but didn't hurt Sol.

Even the same Zodiac Star Spirit, the power difference between Lucy's and the Cloaked Lady's that day is vast.

"By the way, did you know Mirajane had a sister once? She died because of her. Becoming her lover like this, who knows someday, you might die because of her too.

NO, NO, NO~ Saying NO three times to amend the previous sentence, you will definitely die because of her, she's an ominous demon... NO, NO, NO~"

"Miss Mira before?" Lucy covered her mouth in shock, then glared angrily at Sol, "How awful!"

This bastard, where did he buy expired information?!

"Congratulations, your tactic succeeded, I damn fell for your provocation..." Dragon scales began appearing on Rhode's face, his hands and feet turning into dragon claws, dragon wings emerging from his back.

Lucy recognized the move: "It's the same as that day..."

"NO, NO, NO~ Such overwhelming power, what's going on? There was no mention in the intel..." Sol dove underground trying to escape.

"Damn it! Today I'll risk my life to kill you!" What probing, what rational distribution of Magic Power, what S-Class, Rhode didn't care anymore, he slapped both hands on the ground, "Mountain Dragon's Ground Excavation!"

With a rumble, a small mound on the ground swelled up, seeming as if the entire street was shaking with it.

The mound grew larger, blocking the already narrow alley, shops on both sides were affected, awnings shaking violently, cracks appearing in the walls, and roofs beginning to crumble.

Lucy almost fell off the Tree Monster, clutching a vine on its back: "What is this! As extravagant as that day!"

Fortunately, Rhode hadn't completely lost control, the mound stopped expanding, rising more than twenty meters, forming a small volcano opening at the top, no, under the circumstances, it's more like a giant cannon barrel.

The earthen wall was unexpectedly flexible like a snake's belly, visible as a round bulge rose from the cannon bottom, finally launching like a cannonball.

Rhode's dragon wings whipped heavily, the gust blowing so Lucy couldn't open her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Rhode was already chasing the earthen ball in the sky.

The earthen ball disintegrated, exposing Sol inside: "NO, NO, NO..."

The dragon claw-formed fist imprinted on his face: "Mountain Dragon's Beng Fist!"

Sol's facial features were distorted, his whole face seemed to cave inwards, his entire body continued to fly upwards, issuing indistinct cries of pain.

"You, you're a Dragon Slayer..."

Rhode followed with a heavy downward leg slash: "Mountain Dragon's Hooked Claw!"

Rhode dove down, heavy stone-like wings flapped sideways: "Mountain Dragon's Wing Strike!"

Then his tail from behind drew a semicircle, striking upward: "Mountain Dragon's Tail Swing!"

Watching Sol fly upwards again, Rhode opened his mouth: "Mountain Dragon's... Roar!"

The violent rocky storm swallowed Sol's figure, this verbally loose person swayed like dried grass in the Dragon Breath, utterly powerless.

Rhode reverted to his original form, plummeting down from the sky.

Before experiencing much of the weightless sensation, he felt the hard touch of a Devil Arm on his back, his face buried in a warm embrace.
