I love time travel the most!

"Alright! I'm going to unleash an explosion spell!"

Huihui shouted loudly, as if to cheer herself up, and Xiaolin also gave her a thumbs up to encourage her.

She raised her wand and chanted loudly.

"The King of All Realms is branded with a crimson mark!"

The laws of heaven and earth transformed into wind and flames!

The principles governing all things are in my hands!

Another name for Honkai and Destruction!

The Hammer of Eternity has fallen upon me!

—Explosion!

boom----------!

A tremendous roar exploded in the distance, the sound of the explosion penetrating to the bone, followed by an air vibration as if caressing the skin, and the heat of the oncoming breeze could be felt even from hundreds of meters away.

The explosive magic, far more powerful than ever before, instantly blasted the entire abandoned castle apart.

And that's precisely why—

"Every single day, every single day, every single day, some idiot throws explosive magic at my castle! Which brain-dead moron is it?!"

The Headless Horseman has come knocking.

Chapter 107 Curse! Purification!

At Luna's urgent summons, the adventurers of Axel flocked to the city gate.

Upon arriving at the main gate, one sees a headless knight.

It rode a headless horse, holding a knight's head in its hands. It wore heavy, dark knight's armor, and its entire body exuded a terrifying aura.

"By the way, why doesn't it have a head?"

At this moment, Kazuma Sato suddenly made a sarcastic remark, slightly disrupting the tense atmosphere.

Unexpectedly.

The headless horseman suddenly pointed at him and shouted back, "Hey, you over there, it's normal for a headless horseman to be headless!"

"No, no, no, this doesn't look normal at all." xN

Its words drew criticism from many adventurers.

"Ahem, that's not important!"

The headless knight chose to skip this difficult topic and instead introduced himself: "I am the Demon King's army officer who recently settled near this town—the headless knight Beldia."

Then, it angrily shouted, "Every single day, every single day, every single day, some idiot throws explosive magic at my castle! Which brain-dead moron is it?!"

The headless horseman named Beldia appeared to be extremely angry, and his headless mount also neighed and howled to vent its dissatisfaction on behalf of its master.

"By the way, how did the 'Headless Horse' come about?"

"Hey, I told you this isn't important!"

Beldia seemed to hate it when people fussed over such trivial matters.

However, when it comes to explosion magic...

"Explosion magic..."

"Speaking of which, they know explosion magic..."

"It's probably just her."

The adventurers whispered among themselves, all eyes fixed on Megumin.

Those curious, strange, and inquisitive eyes, filled with all sorts of meanings, made Huihui, who was clutching her magic wand, shrink back slightly, as if she were being suppressed by the reproachful looks from everyone.

His terrified appearance, drenched in cold sweat, clearly revealed who the culprit was.

"Stand tall, Huihui,"

Xiao Lin patted her back gently, and his calm words gave her great confidence.

"You didn't do anything wrong."

"Xiao Lin..."

“It’s the Demon King’s army, it’s the enemy, and it’s the magic I told you to cast, isn’t it?”

Huihui breathed a sigh of relief after receiving affirmation.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become that spirited, troubled child once more.

She walked forward alone.

"You...it's you!!!"

The headless knight immediately understood when he saw the wand in her hand.

He couldn't help but vent his anger on her.

"Are you the big idiot who runs around casting explosion magic at my castle every day? If you want to fight me because you know I'm a Demon King's army officer, then just openly storm the castle. If you don't have that intention, then just stay in town and tremble. Why do you have to use such insidious methods to cause me trouble?"

I know this town only has low-level adventurers, and I was originally thinking of just leaving it alone since it only has these kinds of small fry. But you, who don't understand the situation, actually come here every day and bombard me with your explosive magic. I think you've got a screw loose. Why do such a low-level prank?!

The headless horseman's words were heavy, and the head in his hand kept shaking, showing that he was really angry.

Huihui, who was being scolded, kept bending her body over.

Kobayashi, however, supported her thin shoulders from behind, chuckling as he said, "I'm sorry, my archmage isn't the kind who can't be satisfied with just something big and hard. I'm really sorry to have troubled you. But to treat my archmage's magic as a prank, Mr. Headless Knight, you really went too far."

"...What are you saying?"

The headless knight paused for a moment.

It probably didn't expect Kobayashi to suddenly say something so ambiguous.

He added, "Well, I'll accept the apology, as long as that red demon girl doesn't unleash any more explosion magic..."

"Then you might as well tell me to die!"

Huihui shouted excitedly, "The Crimson Demon Clan must unleash an Explosion spell once a day, or they will die from excessive magic power!"

"Hey! I've never heard of such a thing!"

The headless horseman didn't believe her nonsense at all.

However, it also realized that it couldn't persuade them at all, and began to exude an extremely dangerous aura. There was no doubt that it intended to resolve the matter by force.

However, someone was faster than it!

"—Explosion!"

Huihui suddenly unleashed an explosion spell, accompanied by a huge roar, and the powerful force instantly exploded at the location of the headless knight.

"Good, the surprise attack was a success!"

"...What the hell!"

As the smoke cleared, the headless horseman's figure gradually became clear. It cried out in utter dismay, "Can explosive magic be released this quickly? I've never heard of such a thing before! Seriously, are you really novice adventurers? This is so strange!"

The magic descended too quickly, leaving no time to react. Fortunately, it had high resistance to magic and only suffered minor injuries. If it were any other officer, they might have been instantly killed.

"In that case..."

The headless horseman started to get serious.

It coalesced into a rather ominous-looking black mist, its index finger pointing at Huihui.

"I have cast a death sentence on you. You will die in a week."

puff--

The black mass rushed towards Huihui, and the delicate and frail great magician had no chance to dodge it.

but--

A yellow figure suddenly darted out and blocked Huihui's path.

It's Darkness!

“Ahhhhh——!”

Darkness let out a painful howl.

“Ah, what?”

The headless knight never expected that someone would willingly accept this fatal curse.

Whose general is this?

That's incredibly brave!

Although there are some discrepancies, it's just right.

"For adventurers who are united, this is probably more effective."

The headless knight made no attempt to conceal its malice, taunting Huihui: "You red demon girl over there, your companion will die in a week, and your important partner will suffer endlessly from the fear of death. Yes, it's all your fault!"

“Darkness…”

Huihui looked worriedly at her companion who was taking the curse for her.

Darkness, however, forced a smile and said in a low voice, "What, you mean... that I was cursed with death, and to remove the curse I have to obey your orders, that's the gist of it!"

"…What did you say?"

The headless horseman stared blankly at Darkness, who was lost in self-satisfaction.

But it's not over yet.

Darkness, displaying the qualities of a knight, said with difficulty, "I will not yield to a mere curse... Although I will not yield, but... look at that lewd look in the eyes beneath the headless horseman's helmet. He's definitely trying to take me back to the castle, saying, 'If you want the curse lifted, obediently submit to my will,' and then subject me to incredibly perverted and lewd acts!"

She actually got more and more excited as she talked!

"What the hell is wrong with you?! What's wrong with you?!"

The headless knight couldn't help but take a few steps back.
