Chapter 339 Receiving the Rift Herald
33rd Canyon Pioneer
Bang! Bang! Bang……
The 'big spider' moved forward step by step, the ground shook slightly and rhythmically, and thin ripples began to appear on the water surface from the edge of the lake.
A long barrel stretched out from the front of the 'Spider', shining with a metallic luster under the sunlight.
Terrifying magic power gathered in the barrel, and the muzzle was already emitting an ominous blue-black light.
A magical cluster cannon of this caliber can raze the guild to the ground with just one shot, and now, it is aimed at the Fairy Tail members who are heading towards the ghost.
Kana reminded: "Be careful, that thing will die if you get hit by it."
Natsu was puzzled: "Huh? Didn't Rhodes say that he would handle the first shot?"
"But he also said that we should be prepared to be dragged underground." Loki adjusted his glasses, "Although I think we can escape before the cannon is fired."
"A man must not be careless!"
Several people running were staring at the barrel of the gun and looking for Rhodes.
At the same time, in the Phantom President's room, which is also the operation room, the pilot reported:
"President Joseph, Jupiter is ready and they are within range."
Joseph showed a cruel smile: "Send them to the West."
Although Lucy was seen in the team behind, Joseph guessed that it must be fake.
Knowing that he wanted to capture Lucy, how could he send her to the front line? This must be a ploy to prevent him from using high-destructive magic.
So he gave the order to fire without hesitation.
"Yes!" The driver pulled down the joystick.
Buzz~~~A large amount of magic power gathered at the muzzle, forming a blue-black vortex visible to the naked eye like a substance.
The vortex became smaller and smaller, condensing into a magical blue-black magic ball. Even without looking at it, you can feel the strong sense of oppression.
At this time, there was a violent vibration in the operation room. It should be said that the entire Ghost Guild building was shaken violently.
The muzzle of the gun was slightly crooked due to the impact.
Joseph shouted, "What's going on?"
"President Joseph, it's a purple monster!" the observer reported, "A purple monster is attacking the back legs of the 'walker'! It's the goblin strategist!"
"What?"
…
Rhodes's Swift Crab mode is very fast in the water. Even if he sets off one step later than his companions, he still reaches the shore before them.
After landing ashore, he switched to stone beetle mode and touched the back of the ghost from the ground. Then, with Wo Lian's cooperation and reminder, he found the right moment and decisively released the Canyon Pioneer.
The Pioneer hit the Walker's right hind leg with a purple afterimage.
Cracks spread out from the impact site and soon covered the mechanical leg.
The impact area was obviously dented, and the Canyon Pioneer continued to hit it with his large pliers.
The mechanical legs made an overwhelmed 'crunching' sound.
"It's too slow, we can't catch up like this!" Rhodes emerged from the soil, "Receive the Canyon Pioneer!"
Rhodes' body flashed with light, and his whole body was covered with a purple armor-like exoskeleton. He wore a purple and gray visor on his head, and his eyes glowed purple like the Canyon Pioneer.
The breastplate on the upper body formed an exaggerated inverted triangle, which was also decorated with purple eyes. A pair of hard wings sprouted from the back, and it also trailed a purple tail.
His hands turned into a pair of giant purple pincers, and his legs appeared thick and powerful under the armor.
Seen from a distance, it looks like a small Canyon Pioneer, somewhat similar to the B-series robot Scorpion Lailai.
The wings behind Rhodes vibrated, and his feet made a shallow pit on the ground. His whole body turned into a stream of purple light and rushed out, with his shoulders in front, hitting the mechanical leg.
Bang! Click...
Rhodes made a deep dent in the mechanical leg.
The cracks radiate outward from the dent, intersecting and connecting with the cracks made by the canyon pioneers, forming irregular network patterns.
On the surface, it looks like there are just a few more lines, but in fact, there are also cracks on the inside.
At every small grid, unknown metal materials and building materials began to collapse.
Rhodes immediately stepped back, only to see the mechanical leg disintegrate in the blink of an eye.
Whether it was the outer shell or the complex and exquisite internal mechanical structures, transmission devices and energy supply lines, they were all broken into pieces and scattered down one after another.
The entire mechanical leg was like an exploding building. It collapsed quickly after the loud noise and began to produce smoke and dust in mid-air. After it landed, it stirred up a large area of dust and smoke that was taller and wider than the building.
The huge figure of the Canyon Pioneer was hidden in the dust, and even the outline could not be seen clearly.
The moment the mechanical leg began to collapse, the building above had lost its balance, and the entire building tilted sharply in the direction of the broken leg.
Because they were not prepared, the ghost members who were in the guild at this time staggered and fell to the ground.
Many people rolled down the sloping floor from one side of the room to the other, their cheeks being squashed by the wall, not to mention their companions who fell down and fell on themselves.
Usagi Maru, who represented the element of fire, drew his sword and stabbed the ground, while Alya, who represented the element of air, inserted his bare hands into the wall.
Iron dragon Gajeel's feet sprouted spikes, which easily immobilized his body.
The driver in the operation room was sitting on a fixed seat and survived, and Joseph also grabbed the back of the seat in time to preserve the dignity of the president.
"Damn it! The mechanical legs are made of special magic materials. How did they break?"
Joseph was puzzled. He roared, "Adjust your posture and restore your balance quickly! Tell Gajeel to kill that guy!"
Bang!
Jupiter has been launched, but the muzzle is tilted and aimed at the sky.
The blue-purple magic beam shot from the ground to the sky, piercing through the clouds in the sky.
When the light disappeared, there was a hole in the white cloud, and the water vapor around it filled it up at a very slow speed.
Everyone cheered: "Rod succeeded!"
"Well done!"
"It's so big that it took it all at once!"
Rod's voice sounded in everyone's mind again:
"The assault team rushes now! The mobile team comes to my side, and Vollen will show them the way!"
"Got it!" Elfman and others shouted and accelerated towards the 'walker' who was adjusting his posture.
"Come right up!" Erza and Mira took Lucy to Rod's direction under Vollen's guidance.
Rhode's position was almost engulfed by the smoke and dust. He used the perspective of the river crabs that stayed on the periphery to determine the position of the next mechanical leg, jumped on the back of the Rift Herald and ran forward.
If one more leg is disabled, the "Walker" will become a "Walker".
Amid the smoke and dust, an iron rod fell from the sky and headed straight for the back of Rhode's head.
