I like traveling the most

At this time, on the hillside.

"——I saw the position of the thrown knife."

Megumin looked at the giant Varavi and complained unhappily: "It's really a difficult opponent. It's already huge, and it can regenerate. This is cheating, cheating. Especially, it can endure the explosion magic. I can never forgive this kind of thing! That’s right, I can’t forgive this kind of thing! Let’s judge the crime and evil with this blow!”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. The magic power in her body surged rapidly. All the magic power gathered at the front of the staff, chanting magic loudly.

"——All things return to dust, coming from the abyss! Explosion!"

Terrifying magic falls from the sky.

“Whoaaaah——————”

"X-Mr. Xiaolin?! Sure enough, you are still too close to the explosion magic!"

The violent impact centered on the cave and exploded in all directions, kicking up dust and causing everything within sight to fall apart.

Megumin's explosion magic is more powerful than before.

"Tsk!" Darkness quickly ran forward and shouted at them: "Xiaolin, Aqua, get behind me!"

A strong white light enveloped everyone.

Darkness struggled to withstand the huge impact, and she became even harder than before.

After Megumin released her magic, she fell limply to the ground.

"Hehe, hehe... I have vented all the resentment I have accumulated... As expected, the explosion magic is the strongest. In the face of this magic, Varavi, who has seen through his weakness, can do it with just one blow..."

She looked at the mushroom cloud with satisfaction and said this.

However, Huihui's expression soon changed.

"...W-what!?"

The huge body in the distance kept standing up from the hole, and it was even bigger than before. It was accompanied by strong vibrations and rumbling sounds, and everyone felt strong uneasiness.

"I said, Xiaolin, is that warabi cake okay?"

"No matter how strong the regeneration ability is, as long as it is directly attacked by explosion magic, the core will be destroyed! How can such a thing be possible?!"

Aqua screamed in fright, and Darkness also felt a headache.

"...Hey, wait a minute." Chris said uneasily at this time: "There seems to be something where the knife stabbed just now. That is..."

Even without the use of all five visions, everyone could clearly see the thing in the giant Varavi's body.

It’s a relic that seals Varavi!

No wonder Varavi was not damaged and even became taller than before. It turned out that there was a split body buried there that could enhance Varavi!

"……hateful!"

Xiaolin gritted his teeth and said unhappily: "I didn't expect to be tricked! That bastard Raf, that guy took the relic from Lundberg's mansion! Although I don't know what happened, the relic has been exposed to the explosion magic once Because we knew the core location would be exposed, we prepared protective measures!”

"Are you saying that the relic was placed there specifically to prevent the core from being directly attacked?"

"Not only that, the sealed Varavi fragments are also among them!"

Xiao Lin's words made everyone panic.

Darkness even denied it: "...How is it possible! He could predict this situation! Rafe...is he really so prophetic?!"

"Then, what should I do?!" Aqua was frightened and at a loss, and shouted: "Once the explosion magic is blocked, there is nothing you can do!... Hey, then, what is that?"

"...Xiao Lin, look at Varavi."

Darkness is also very serious.

Xiao Lin raised his head and looked at the giant slime in front of him, and found that something was not right about Varavi's state.

"After enduring the explosion magic... it seems to have evolved further."

"Varied……!?"

The huge body changed from that of a snake to that of a violent orc. The head was still a python but with huge horns. Behind it were tattered demon wings. The huge limbs stood on the ground, looking quite demonic. shadow.

"Then, what is that... appearance... changed...?"

Everyone was puzzled by this scene.

Only the far-sighted Duke of Hell, Barnier, looked at Varavi thoughtfully and said: "Well... probably because he was in a lot of danger, his defensive instinct came into play. It seems that he is very sensitive to physics and magic. The endurance in these two aspects has improved a lot. In other words, the attack is even less effective than before! "

After saying that, he suddenly laughed.

"It's the end of the road, boy!"

This guy seemed to be expecting this to happen, and really wanted to punch him in the face.

Wiz said with some uneasiness: "X-Mr. Xiaolin! If this continues, other adventurers and us will all be destroyed!"

"What to do? Retreat first!?"

Darkness spoke quickly.

She is not someone who would say such words easily. Saying this means that now is a critical moment and a decision must be made.

But--

Aqua quickly said: "But, if you come here, you have to go to Axel? Isn't there no room left?!"

"I know that kind of thing!"

This is the crux of the matter!

Once you give up here, it means giving up Axel, so this is the last fortress and must not be given up.

However, the explosion magic has also been blocked, and there is no way to defeat this guy——

When Xiaolin was thinking hard and didn't know what to do, Sena ran over in a hurry, shouting anxiously.

"——Mr. Xiaolin?!"

"Sena? Why are you here? It's dangerous here. Get out of here first!"

Although she is a prosecutor of the kingdom, she is not an adventurer. Without the strength, she will get hurt accidentally.

Just when Xiaolin was about to ask someone to take it away, Sena shook her head and said, "I have something to convey, so I came here... This is information necessary for everyone's victory!"

"Information necessary for victory?"

"yes!"

She organized her thoughts and said: "This is relevant information obtained from Rafe. He seemed to want others to listen to him talk about his research... so he confessed to us. Now is a good opportunity to reverse the situation! If you want to Defeat Varavi, now!”

"What? Explain in detail!"

Kobayashi is surprised by what she said and urges Sena to hurry up and tell them what to do.

during this time.

"...Hey, Xiaolin!"

"Sorry, it's a bit far away!"

"Oh, Dust and Lynn, you are back!"

Xiao Lin felt slightly relieved when he saw the two of them.

During the Slime Varavi riot, everyone else dispersed. Although they might not be able to help, having more people around would make people feel at ease.

"I, I'm here too..."

A weak voice came from below.

Lower your head.

It turned out to be Huihui who was completely weak. She stood up tremblingly and said to Lynn: "Although I'm not talented, I still thank you for recycling..."

"Even if I attack with explosive magic, the jelly is still alive and kicking. I retrieved it out of fear of danger."

"Compared to Xiaolin's back, it's still not that comfortable to ride on... Anyway, I'm back."

What you said was a bit rude.

Lynn spread her hands helplessly. It was a great honor for a weak magician to carry her on his back. She should be grateful that she was not left to Dust.

"Ah, thank you for your hard work."

Xiaolin waved his hand to her and said: "Although I am exhausted, I am sorry that new information has come. This is what Sena got from Rafe... It should be said to be a confession."

"Where's Raph?"

"Ah. - Do you remember the first time you used explosion magic? It was in the ancient ruins."

"Originally it refers to..."

Megumin tilted her head.

She didn't quite understand what Xiaolin meant when he told her about the initial explosion magic, but Xiaolin reminded her of what he said at that time.

[My father Pyozaburo once said that there is an absolute way to stop rampaging items, and that is - no matter what, as long as it is destroyed, it will stop! Come on, let me prove that the ancient curse is powerless in the face of my strongest explosion magic! 】

"...So, what's the meaning?"

"At that time, it seemed that Varavi's core was injured. Thanks to this, Varavi was unable to move for a long time. Now he seems to be reaching his limit. He also seems to have aggravated Varavi's collapse due to various random experiments. . If you want to defeat him, you have to do it now!”

Kobayashi said this to Megumin with a smile.

The little Loli felt extremely lucky and said: "I didn't expect that what I did unknowingly caused fatal harm."

"Although it's not a fatal injury, but...well done, Megumin, let's bombard it!"

Xiao Lin gave her a thumbs up.

"Leave it to me!" Megumin flicked her cloak and said arrogantly: "As long as the magic power can be restored and the explosive magic can be fired twice, no matter how tired I am, I will definitely blast it!"

"Haha, this is Hui Hui."

Darkness smiled happily.

At this time, Luna, the counter girl, ran over with a lot of props, handed them to Explosion Little Loli and said: "Miss Huihui, please use them. We have prepared potions and magic crystals for recovery. Please use these to recover." ”

"I accepted it gratefully!"

Huihui was very excited.

What could be better than being given a healing potion, using explosion magic properly, or even becoming the hero who saves the town? !

"I will definitely work hard!"

Megumin said this very seriously.

————

Later, while she was recovering her magic power, Xiaolin summoned the adventurers present to tell them the next battle plan.

"...Okay, then everyone, please listen to me."

He looked around.

All were familiar faces.

Mitsurugi Kyouya, Dust, Lynn, Sena, Guards A, B... all of them are people living in the town.

"Everyone, if this place is breached, Varavi will come to the city, and we will undoubtedly GameOver. We have no retreat, we can only hit it here. The guy's magic power seems to be almost gone, no matter It doesn’t matter how strong he is, as long as he can be defeated. This is an extreme showdown, whoever surrenders first will lose! Let’s go together!”

"oh oh……"

How can I put it, everyone is not enthusiastic at all.

We need to mobilize them at this time to make them more active and enthusiastic, but it seems that the effect is not good.

Sena was slightly anxious to go into battle in person.

But Xiaolin knew that it was useless no matter who he was. After all, the giant Varavi was so terrifying. They all knew that if they hadn't been reluctant to leave the town, they might have slipped away.

In fact, many merchants and adventurers from other towns have already run away.

Kobayashi held Sena's shoulders.

"I know you are a little resistant, but I just want to say one thing..."

He looked at these people.

"Our treasures are in this town! Don't forget, why are you reluctant to leave this town! Why are you still stationed in the Novice Village even though you are already level 30! It's that dreamy shop! I know that this battle is very dangerous, and I understand that it doesn't matter if you don't go! But that shop... our treasures will disappear! Everyone, do you want to see that scene!?"

"No!"

"Do you want to leave that shop?!"

"No!"

"Then, answer me again... Are you willing to fight to the death against Walavi for that shop!"

"Yes!"

Very good!

Their enthusiasm finally turned upward.

"How should I put it..."

"I really can't stand these people."

"I say, although I can understand, it's really a headache."

Kobayashi pretended not to hear the criticism of Aqua and the others.

Sena also sighed slightly and said, "I also know that this kind of thing is inevitable, but using this method to mobilize their enthusiasm is still contrary to my idea."

The upright Kingdom prosecutor seemed unable to accept it.

In fact, it was not just them.

Even the female adventurers, looking at the passionate male adventurers, felt quite speechless.

"What does it matter?"

Xiao Lin laughed and said, "At this time, the more sincere the feelings, the stronger the belief can burst out. If we can defeat Walavi because of this, wouldn't it be a great achievement? Yes..."

At this time, he suddenly raised his right hand and shouted.

"——Everyone! After defeating the ancient magical creature Walavi this time, the kingdom will definitely issue a large amount of bounty! If that's the case, I invite each of you to enjoy it for three days!"

"Enjoy three days..."

"Really, really, Xiao Lin!?"

"You really didn't lie to us, enjoy three days or something...!"

Xiao Lin nodded very seriously.

"Of course! Miss Sena, the prosecutor of the Kingdom, is here. She can prove that I have absolutely no intention of deceiving everyone! Right, Miss Sena?"

"Huh? I, I..."

Sena took a step back.

Frightened by the flashing lights of the male adventurers, she had no idea what to do. In the end, she nodded subconsciously and agreed to this matter.

"See, everyone! So... go ahead!"

"Oh oh oh——————!"

The Axel plain was filled with fierce roars. They were not doing it for the great ideal of protecting the town, but just to enjoy three days of drunkenness and dreams.

But...

What's wrong with it?
