Chapter 405 Explosion Magic VS Explosion Magic
When Zun Zun and his companions, led by Yu Jian Xiangye, arrived at the outer wall of the fortress, they found that one side of the outer wall looked like it had suffered a strong impact and was about to collapse.

The tragic traces left by this attack were very familiar to the three of them.

Because this is the trace left by the explosion magic.

Sato Kazuma used his clairvoyance to look around. He knew that the user would be weak after using explosion magic, but he did not see any suspicious people.

At this time, Yu Jian Xiangye explained: "Every time Wolbach uses teleportation, she teleports away after casting explosion magic, so we can't catch her at all."

"What!?"

After hearing this, Sato Kazuma's face changed drastically, and he immediately called a meeting with his companions and conveyed this matter to them.

"——Explosion magic!?"

Huihui kicked the chair away and stood up.

“…Hmm?” Seeing her, Sato Kazuma suddenly thought of something, and whispered to Zun Zun: “Hey, you said at the relay station inn that the protagonist this time is someone else, could it be Huihui?”

"bingo."

Zun Zun replied with a smile.

Sato Kazuma wanted to ask something else, but Zun Zun didn't reveal anything. But he felt relieved. Since Zun Zun said so, he must be sure of it.

At this time, Huihui, who had been standing still, suddenly shook her cloak.

“I’m Megumin! I’m the most powerful magician in Axel, and I’m a master of explosion magic! I didn’t expect that the other party is a general of the Demon King’s army, and he claims to be an evil god, and he’s also good at using explosion magic... That person is exactly what I’ve been looking for... my destined rival!”

"Eh heh heh!?"

The first person to react was none other than Youyou.

This Crimson Demon Clan friend, who was originally her rival and love rival, complained loudly when she heard that Huihui promoted the Demon King's Army cadre to her destined rival. When Huihui said, "If you want to be my rival, go learn Explosion Magic!", the two of them started fighting again.

“Don’t worry, Kazuma.”

"Darkness?"

"No problem, leave it to me. I have a track record of successfully taking on explosion magic in the past! I volunteer to be the bait, and you just need to deal with the opponent who is full of flaws after casting magic!"

"It can't be done."

"Eh?"

Darkness, who was trying to be cool, couldn’t help but exclaim.

"By the way, were you listening to what was said just now?" Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes and said, "Wolbach can use teleportation. She will retreat after releasing the explosion magic."

"how come……"

This means that even if Darkness can withstand the explosion magic, it will be useless, and she may not be able to withstand it - the power of the explosion magic will increase with the increase of magic power.

Sato Kazuma scratched his head in dissatisfaction: "Besides, who invented this tactic? Shooting and moving to another place, it's too disgusting!"

"It's the Red Demon Clan."

"……what?"

"This tactic was invented by the Red Demons." Zun Zun spread his hands and said, "The Red Demons often go out for picnics, and the picnic location is on a small hill not far from the Demon King's Castle. After the picnic, they will cast magic towards the barrier of the Demon King's Castle."

"Hey……"

"By the way, the garbage is not taken away after the picnic."

"Take it away! Clean up this garbage that you created yourself and will damage the environment!"

The Crimson Demons seem to have no awareness of protecting the environment.

——Not really.

They just wanted to give the Demon King's army a slap in the face because that was their territory. As a result, now it was their turn to be harassed by the other side.

"It's all your own fault."

"No way! I didn't go on a picnic near the Demon King's Castle, nor did I cast magic on the barrier, nor did I throw away garbage!"

Sato Kazuma was not impressed by what Zun Zun said.

"I, I'll tell you."

"Aqua, what's wrong?"

"I want to say that even though we have come all the way here, she just claimed to be an evil god without permission. I think I should let her go this time. I'm not afraid. Think about it, I have never even heard of a niche evil god like Wolbach. It seems too pitiful to bully her like this."

"Do not make jokes."

This self-proclaimed goddess was the first to back off when she heard that the other party could use explosion magic and teleport. Obviously no one asked for her opinion, but she spoke these words that sounded like excuses.

And it's too late.

When they were at the relay station inn, Sato Kazuma asked whether they wanted to leave, and it was then that Aqua was the first to express her desire to stay.

Darkness was still trying to comfort her companions: "Although it's a bit tricky, fortunately, the command of this fortress has been handed over to me, so there should be a way."

"Command authority?" Sato Kazuma's eyes widened. "How did you…"

"I went to see the commander of the fortress. After I told him that we had experience in repelling the Demon King's army leaders several times, he said he wanted to hand over the command to us."

“You idiot——!”

Darkness seemed to have caused quite a lot of trouble in places where they hadn't noticed. After all, her actions prevented the team from being able to just escape in a critical moment, which was a disguised way of cutting off their retreat.

At this moment, a huge pressure descended from the sky.

boom------

With a deafening roar, the fortress shook violently and a lot of small pieces fell from the ceiling. Everyone except Huihui hid behind Zun Zun.

"Hey, you guys—"

"It's too dangerous, Zun Zun, please think of a solution quickly!"

Everyone was terrified. The team members who were around Megumin every day and listened to her use of explosion magic certainly didn’t misunderstand the sound just now. It must be the explosion magic that shook the fortress.

"Hmm... not bad."

"Megumin?"

"The vibration just now was quite good, and coupled with the magical fluctuations that came in shortly before the magic was cast, it must be a very sophisticated explosion magic. It seems that the opponent did not learn this move for no reason or on a whim."

"You're still commenting?!"

She was already a master of the art of explosion, and after tasting the opponent's explosion magic, she would naturally make an evaluation. When fighting with Zun Zun and others, she naturally knew that the opponent's investment in swordsmanship was no different.

Tucao returns to Tucao.

However, everyone present had been exposed to Huihui's explosive magic, and they all knew that the accuracy of the explosion was quite high. If they were to give a score, it would be at least above 95 points.

"Okay, let's go out and take a look."

"Wait a minute, there's no need for that. After all, didn't I just tell you that guy can teleport? It's definitely too late to leave now."

Seeing that Zun Zun was about to leave the room, Sato Kazuma immediately stopped him.

That's why he didn't know what to do.

Every time they fired a shot, they moved to another place. No one could stop it, not to mention that this had already gone beyond guns and reached the level of cannons... no, it had reached the level of missiles.

“Even though I say that, I still have to go and take a look. Kazuma, don’t you think it’s weird?”

"where?"

"Wolbach used two bursts of magic."

"……what!"

Sato Kazuma suddenly woke up.

Just when he met Mitsurugi Hibiki, he had been attacked by explosion magic. But less than a day had passed and the other party had used explosion magic again.

You have to know that even someone as powerful as Wiz can only release one explosion magic a day, and then he will fall into a state of decline.

Sensing a bad premonition, everyone quickly came to the outer wall.

This was the place where Yu Jian Xiangye had taken Zun Zun and the others before. It was the place that was attacked by explosive magic all day long. When they arrived at the scene, all they saw was a part of the outer wall that had been reduced to rubble, and a huge crater on the ground.

The adventurers and knights seemed to be the same as them, rushing over after hearing the explosion and gathering at the scene. Seeing the destroyed city wall, everyone looked grim.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

"I can't believe it! It's the second explosion magic!?"

"Isn't it said that it can only be used once a day? Could it be that a new Demon King Army cadre has appeared!?"

"Mom, I want to go home!"

The atmosphere of panic spread unknowingly at the scene. If the adventurers and knights stationed here were able to withstand one attack a day, two attacks in a row were too much for them to bear.

This is not the last straw that broke the camel's back, but a towering tree that has fallen down.

"If this continues, the outer wall will soon be breached."

"But the problem is..."

"Ah, how did you do that?"

The elite troops of the Demon King's army are currently on high alert in the forest near the fortress. Every time Wolbach releases explosive magic, he will flee back there and come back after accumulating enough magic power.

But the time difference is about one day, and now it has become two times a day...

It is also difficult to explore.

The Demon King's army is not strong but they are numerous, and the forest is the monsters' territory. If they fight in a terrain that the enemy is good at, without the protection of a fortress with outer walls, they will be the losers.

Having said that, even if we stay inside the fortress like this, once the outer wall is completely destroyed, the Demon King's army, which has been waiting for a long time, will attack at the right moment.

This is a dilemma, a chronic death, but now the word "chronic" can be eliminated.

Many people looked haggard and dejected.

"hateful."

Yuuki Hibiki gritted his teeth and looked towards the forest.

the other side.

The Demon King’s army base in the forest.

Because this battle would undoubtedly be a protracted one, the Demon King's army deliberately set up a camp and strengthened defenses around the camp to prevent anyone from carrying out a decapitation operation.

And in this camp, a demon appeared who was not a member of the Demon King's army.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wolbach."

"Don't call me sir, I'm no longer your master."

"No, this is my respect for you."

"Ernest..."

Wobach looked at her old subordinate who was half-kneeling in front of her. She couldn't describe the feeling of having her subordinate taken away.

"Thank you for your magic. But is this really okay?"

"I am only following the orders of my master... my current master."

"The current owner?"

Wobak repeated in a complicated tone, then looked towards the huge fortress a few kilometers away and uttered something.

"…What on earth is he thinking about?"
