Chapter 76: Beat Him!
Rhodes understood Natsu's determination.
A kind person, after experiencing such an event, surely wouldn't want anyone else to suffer the same misfortune.
So, they would give it their all to fight and bring that poor guy back to normal.
By the time Happy returned with two fish, Natsu and Rhodes were already sharing the roasted meat.
Rhodes took a couple of bites, but because he had too much on his mind, the food felt tasteless.
He mechanically chewed and swallowed for the sake of quickly recovering his strength and magic. After filling his stomach, he meditated for a while.
By the time Happy's fish was ready, Rhodes' magic was mostly restored. They put out the fire and set off again.
After escaping, the Leopard Man kept changing his location, but since Natsu had memorized his scent, finding him wasn't difficult.
With Natsu responsible for tracking, Rhodes could focus on using his Scuttle crabs to scout the terrain.
He aimed to find a few areas with low fire risk as backup battlegrounds.
"Found him!"
