Chapter 686 This time, I am really positive
At this time, on the hillside.
"——I saw the location of the thrown knife."
Huihui looked at the huge Walavi and complained in dissatisfaction: “Really, what a tough opponent. It’s already huge, and it can regenerate. This is cheating, cheating. Especially, being able to endure Explosion Magic, I absolutely cannot forgive it! That’s right, I can never forgive such a thing! His sins and evils, let this attack judge him!”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. The magic power in her body surged rapidly, and all the magic power gathered at the front end of the staff, chanting magic loudly.
"——All things return to dust, from the abyss! Explosion!"
Horrifying magic fell from the sky.
“Waaaaaaa——”
"M-Mr. Kobayashi?! You were too close to the explosion magic after all!"
The violent impact spread out in all directions from the hole, stirring up huge clouds of dust, and everything within sight fell apart.
Megumin's explosion magic is more powerful than before.
“Tsk!” Darkness quickly ran to the front and shouted at them, “Xiaolin, Aqua, get behind me!”
An intense white light enveloped everyone.
Darkness struggled to withstand the huge impact, and she became harder than before.
After Huihui released her magic, she collapsed to the ground.
“Haha, hahaha… I’ve let out all the resentment that’s been accumulated for a long time… As expected, explosion magic is the strongest. In front of this magic, Walavi, whose weakness was discovered, can be defeated with just one strike…”
She said this as she looked at the mushroom cloud with satisfaction.
However, Huihui's expression changed soon.
“…Wha, what!?”
The huge body in the distance kept standing up from the hole, covering the sky and the sun and was even bigger than before. Accompanied by strong vibrations and rumblings, everyone felt extremely uneasy.
"Hey, Xiaolin, is that bracken cake okay?"
"No matter how strong the regeneration ability is, the core will be destroyed if it is directly hit by explosion magic! How is this possible?!"
Aqua screamed in fear, and Darkness also felt a headache.
"...Hey, wait a minute." Chris said uneasily, "There seems to be something where the knife stabbed just now. What is that..."
Even without the Five Visions' omnipotence, everyone could clearly see the thing inside the giant Walavi's body.
It is the relic that seals Walavi!
No wonder Walavi was not damaged and even became taller than before. It turned out that there was a split body buried there that could make Walavi stronger!
"……hateful!"
Xiao Lin gritted his teeth and said unhappily, "I didn't expect to be tricked! That bastard Rafe took the relic from Lundberg's mansion! I don't know how it happened, but the relic has been hit by explosion magic once. I knew the location of the core would be exposed, so I prepared protective measures!"
"You mean, the relic was placed there specifically to prevent the core from being attacked directly?"
"Not only that, the sealed fragment of Valavi is also among them!"
Xiao Lin's words made everyone look flustered.
Darkness denied it, “…How is it possible! He could have foreseen the current situation! Is Raph…really that capable of foresight?!”
“Then, what should we do?!” Aqua was so frightened that she didn’t know what to do. She screamed, “Once the explosion magic is blocked, there’s nothing we can do! … Hey, then, what is that?”
"...Xiaolin, look at Walavi."
Darkness was also serious.
Kobayashi raised his head and looked at the huge slime in front of him, and found that something was wrong with Walavi's condition.
"After being subjected to explosion magic... it seems to have evolved further."
"Varied……!?"
The huge body changed from that of a snake to that of a ferocious orc, the head was still a python but with huge horns on it, behind it were tattered devil wings, and the huge limbs stood on the ground, looking quite like a demon.
"W-what is that... appearance... changed...?"
Everyone was puzzled by this scene.
The only one who had foresight was the Duke of Hell, Barnil. He looked at Valavi thoughtfully and said, "Hmm... maybe he was in great danger, so his defensive instinct kicked in. It seems that his resistance to both physical and magical aspects has increased significantly. In other words, his attacks are even less effective than before!"
After saying that, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"It's the end of the road, boy!"
This guy seemed to be expecting this to happen, and I really wanted to punch him in the face.
Wiz said uneasily, "Mr. Kobayashi! If this continues, the other adventurers and all of us will be destroyed!"
"What should we do? Retreat first!?"
Darkness spoke quickly.
She is not someone who would say such things easily, so what she said meant that this was a critical moment and a decision had to be made.
but--
Aqua quickly said, “But, if we come here, we’ll have to go to Axel, right? Isn’t that the limit?!”
"I know that kind of thing!"
This is the crux of the problem!
Once we give up this place, it means giving up Axel, so this is the last fortress and we must never give up.
However, the explosion magic was also blocked, and there was no way to defeat this guy.
When Kobayashi was racking his brains, not knowing what to do, Sena hurried over, shouting anxiously.
“——Mr. Kobayashi?!”
"Senna? Why are you here? It's dangerous here, please leave first!"
Although she is the prosecutor of the kingdom, she is not an adventurer. She has no strength and can get hurt easily.
Just when Xiaolin was about to have someone take it away, Sena shook her head and said, "I have something to convey, so I rushed here... This is the information necessary for everyone's victory!"
"The intelligence necessary for victory?"
"Yes!"
She gathered her thoughts and said, "This is the information we got from Raf. He seemed to want others to listen to his research... so he confessed to us. Now is a good opportunity to turn things around! If we want to defeat Valavi, now is the time!"
"What? Explain in detail!"
Kobayashi was surprised by what she said and urged Sena to tell them what to do quickly.
this time.
“…Hey, Xiaolin!”
"Sorry, it's a bit far away!"
"Oh, Dust and Lynn, you're back!"
Xiaolin felt relieved when he saw the two of them.
When the Slime Walavi rioted, everyone else dispersed. Even though they might not be able to help, having more people around would actually make people feel more 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 exhausted. She stood up tremblingly and said to Lynn, “Although I’m not talented, thank you for recycling it…”
"Even though I used explosion magic to attack it, the jelly was still alive and kicking. I took it back because I was afraid it might be dangerous."
"Compared to Xiaolin's back, it's still not that comfortable to ride... Anyway, I'm back."
What you said was a bit rude.
Lynn spread her hands helplessly. It was already a great honor for a weak magician to carry her on his back. She should be grateful that he didn't throw her to Dust.
"Ah, thank you for your hard work."
Kobayashi waved his hand at her and said, "Although I am exhausted, I am sorry to hear that there is new information. This is what Sena got from Rafe...or should I say, a confession."
"Where's Raph?"
"Ahh. - Do you remember the first time you used explosion magic? It was in the ancient ruins."
"Originally it meant..."
Huihui tilted her head.
She didn't quite understand what Kobayashi told her about the meaning of the original explosion magic, but Kobayashi led her to recall what he said at that time.
[My father, Piao Saburo, once said that there is a way to absolutely stop the rampage items, that is - no matter what it is, as long as it is destroyed, it will stop! Come, let me prove that the ancient curse is powerless in front of my strongest explosion magic! ]
"…So, what does it mean?"
"At that time, it seems that the core of Valavi was damaged. Because of this, Valavi has been unable to move for a long time, and now it seems to be almost at its limit. It seems that he has also aggravated the collapse of Valavi due to various reckless experiments. If we want to defeat it, we have to do it now!"
Kobayashi said this to Huihui with a smile.
The little girl felt extremely fortunate and said, "I never thought that what I did would cause fatal harm without knowing it."
“It’s not a fatal injury, but… good job, Megumin, let’s blast it!”
Xiaolin gave her a thumbs up.
“Leave it to me!” Huihui threw her cloak and said proudly, “As long as I can recover my magic power, I will cast one or two explosion spells, no matter how tired I am!”
“Haha, this is Huihui.”
Darkness smiled with relief.
At this time, the counter lady Luna came over with a bunch of props, handed them to the Exploding Little Lolita and said, "Ms. Huihui, please use them. I have prepared the potions and magic crystals for recovery. Please use them to recover."
"I accepted it with gratitude!"
Huihui was extremely excited.
What could be better than having someone give you a recovery potion, using explosion magic wisely, or even being the hero who saves the town? !
"I will definitely work hard!"
Huihui said this very seriously.
----
Later, while she was recovering her magic power, Xiaolin gathered the adventurers present and told them the next battle plan.
"...Okay, then everyone please listen to me."
He looked around.
They are all familiar faces.
Mitsurugi Hibiki, Dust, Lynn, Sena, Guards A and B...all of them live in the town.
"Everyone, if we get through here, Valavi will come to the city, and we will undoubtedly be in Game Over. We have no way out, we can only defeat him here. It seems that the guy's magic power is almost gone. No matter how strong he is, as long as we know that we can defeat him, it's another matter. This is an extreme duel, no matter whether it's us or the other side, whoever surrenders first will lose! Come on together!"
"oh oh……"
How should I put it? No one is enthusiastic at all.
At this time, we need to mobilize them to be more active and enthusiastic, but it seems that the effect is not very good.
Sena was slightly anxious and wanted to go into battle herself.
But Xiaolin knew that it would be useless no matter who helped. After all, they all knew how terrifying the gigantic Walavi was. If they hadn't been reluctant to leave the town, they might have already escaped.
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 everyone is reluctant to leave this town! Why are you still stationed in the Novice Village even though you are already level 30! It's because of that dreamy store! I know that this battle is very dangerous, and I understand that it doesn't matter if you don't go! But that store... our treasures will disappear! Everyone, do you want to see that scene!?"
"I don't want to!"
"Can you bear to give up that store?!"
"unwilling!"
"Then answer me again... Are you willing to fight to the death against Walavi for that store?"
"willing!"
very good!
Their positivity finally turned upward.
"how to say……"
“I really can’t stand these people.”
"I said, although I can understand it, it really gives me a headache."
Kobayashi pretended not to hear Aqua and the others' criticism.
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 prosecutor of the kingdom seemed unable to accept it.
In fact, it’s not just them.
Even the female adventurers seemed speechless when they saw the passionate male adventurers.
"What does it matter?"
Xiao Lin laughed and said, "At times like this, the more sincere the feelings, the stronger the faith that can burst out. If we can defeat Walavi because of this, wouldn't it be a great achievement? Right..."
At this time he suddenly raised his right hand and shouted.
"——Everyone! After defeating the ancient magical creature Valavi, the kingdom will surely award a large amount of bounty! If that's the case, I'll invite each of you to enjoy it for three days!"
"Enjoy three days..."
"Really, is this true, Kobayashi!?"
"You're really not lying to us, are you? Enjoy three days or something...!"
Xiaolin nodded seriously.
"Of course! Miss Sena from the Kingdom Prosecutor is here. She can prove that I have absolutely no intention of deceiving you! Right, Miss Sena?"
“Eh? I, I…”
Senaweiwei took a step back.
She was frightened by the flashing lights of the male adventurers and had no idea what to do. In the end, she nodded subconsciously, agreeing to this matter.
"See, everyone! So... go ahead!"
“Ohhhhh——————!”
The plains of Axel were filled with fierce roars. They were not fighting for some great ideal like protecting the town, but just to enjoy three days of drunkenness.
but……
What's wrong?
