I love time travel the most!

That figure is Kobayashi!

What exactly is that blue haori?

and……

Why isn't he wearing clothes?

A great deal of confusion appeared in the Fiora's small head.

Chapter 259 A Page of Heroic Tales

"—Firestorm!"

The powerful, wide-range magic unleashed by the Fallen Fairy shattered Riveria's defensive barrier with terrifying force.

As the red tsunami surged in, Kobayashi twisted his body and tightly protected Ryuzu in his arms.

The doll girl tried to move, but Kobayashi was very strong. Forcibly breaking free would injure her master, something a servant would never do.

In an instant, the two were engulfed by the towering flames.

heat!

Extreme heat!

It's so hot! So hot! So hot! So hot!

Xiaolin's expression was contorted in pain, and the sweat on his forehead, which had just appeared, evaporated completely.

His clothes didn't even last a second before they were burned to black ash and disappeared with the heat, and the skin on his back began to char.

Healed! Healed! Healed! ...

While enduring intense burning, he continuously uses healing magic, his body constantly transforming between destruction and repair.

Although burns can be healed, the pain cannot be eliminated. Coupled with the high temperature, Xiaolin's back was burning with pain.

The pain is especially intense when one is highly focused and extremely sensitive, and tears involuntarily well up in one's eyes.

"Uhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

A low, painful scream escaped his throat.

Even so, he did not let go of Liu Zi, whom he was holding in his arms.

The doll girl cannot be healed by magic, so we must never let her get hurt.

But the heatwave behind him was relentless, and if it continued like this, he wouldn't be able to take it!

Do you have……

Is there any way?!

Should we temporarily escape using the [Dimensional Array], or directly use the ring to return to "Konosuba"?

hateful!

If only Aqua were here, that idiot water goddess would definitely unleash a torrent of water as if she'd been provoked, extinguishing this raging inferno.

The intense pain made Xiaolin's thinking somewhat sluggish, and she couldn't come up with a good way to deal with it.

Just as he was about to give up, the last blue haori he wore was untied from his waist, forming a protective shield that blocked all the flames, while a cool, healing aura poured down.

"What is this...?!"

Kobayashi, whose face was still contorted with a distorted expression, immediately remembered that the haori hanging in mid-air was the one Aqua had made during her competition with Kazuma Sato, and was said to be the same as a divine artifact!

Since it was made by Aqua, and she happened to be short of a suitable belt, Kobayashi put it on.

I didn't notice before, but it wasn't carbonized. Could it be that it has the ability to defend against magic?!

I never expected that what that idiot made would actually be a powerful artifact!

I absolutely love you, Aqua!

Praying that it wouldn't fail at crucial moments like Aqua, Kobayashi still held Ryuji tightly, protecting her well.

Once the flames subsided, Kobayashi raised his head again.

The blue haori descended from the sky, wrapping around his back and fluttering in the wind, making him look like a goddess, just like the holy Aqua!

...even though he is a man.

That being said, the flag I made back then—to wear a haori with my bare bottom exposed—has actually come to pass like this. How embarrassing!

look around.

All that could be seen were Ais and the others lying on the ground, like corpses strewn across the field.

The dense forest vanished, leaving only ashes and scorched earth. The entire floor, with the Fallen Fairy's location at its center as the boundary, was completely transformed into another world.

In the distance, everyone was covered in wounds. Riveria and Grace looked like tattered rag dolls, charred and battle-damaged ones, lying on the ground unwanted.

That's ridiculously strong, you bastard!

Kobayashi clicked his tongue in amazement.

This fallen fairy is at least LV7, and may even be a high-level LV7.

"Xiao Lin! Xiao Lin!!!"

Just then, he heard the swordswoman Ais calling his name.

Obscured by thick dust and smoke, nothing could be seen. I wanted to answer loudly, but my throat became hoarse from the high temperature, and I couldn't shout at all.

At this moment, the next wave of chanting from the Fallen Fairy began.

"Come on, come on, earth's crust..."

Giving no chance to catch its breath, the magic began to brew once more. As it chanted, a black beam of light shot upwards from the magic circle, shrouding the sky in darkness and light, as immense magical power converged at a single point.

"—Meteor Shower!"

In an instant, a cluster of black meteorites appeared.

A massive rain of meteorites fell on the 59th floor. The other adventurers kicked the ground and fled, but Sword Maiden Ais hesitated and did not escape in time.

"Tsk!"

Seeing this, Kobayashi clicked his tongue in amazement.

After signaling to Ryuu to protect himself, he rushed in front of the Sword Maiden Ais.

He raised his right hand, trying to block the meteor shower.

"I don't know if it'll work, but it has to succeed! I'll treat you to bubble tea until you throw up when we get back, so... please, Aqua!"

As if hearing Xiaolin's prayer, a thin film unfolded thirty centimeters in front of him.

Even if a meteorite falling from the sky, accompanied by a powerful gust of wind, scatters the haori behind her, once the meteorite touches the membrane, it's like a drop of water merging into a river, creating ripples before quickly calming down again.

While things were calm behind Xiaolin, others weren't so lucky.

Bert held Raul tightly, the Amazon sisters and Chun protected the four supporters, and Captain Finn protected Riveria and Grace who were lying on the ground.

The radiant, jet-black meteor shower, with its astonishingly wide-ranging effect, shook the dungeon. The entire floor was dominated by a continuous, intense beam of light.

boom! boom! boom! boom! …

The already dilapidated dungeon was once again ravaged by the powerful magic of the Fallen Fairy.

Amidst the devastation ravaged by the scorched earth, half-dead adventurers, their bodies emitting smoke and black particles of light, groaned as they struggled to their feet, barely managing to get up.

"Damn it... bastard... son of a bitch..."

Bert the werewolf's muttered curses resonated with the others.

Chun, supporting her charred right arm, smiled weakly and asked, "Are you still alive?"

"I'm dying..."

"Me too."

"And I."

Inside the charred building, countless meteorite craters are scattered all around, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene.

Furthermore, after losing the two most trusted and reassuring pillars of the faction, morale plummeted to an all-time low.

At that moment, someone stepped forward.

"Kobayashi...?"

Sword Maiden Ais still had a dazed expression.

The man in front of her was not imposing, and was even much weaker than her, yet he was now standing in her way.

Just like back then, just like the silhouette of her great father who protected her from behind.

The two figures seemed to overlap.

Ais was lost in thought.

At this moment, the Fallen Fairy in the center of the floor looked down at the scene below, narrowed her dull and lifeless golden eyes, and opened her supple arms, causing the two buds on the lower half of the demon's body to bloom.

Then, whether it was the black particles or the crimson particles escaping from the floor, or the emerald green particles generated by the barrier supported by Riveria, they were all absorbed into the giant blooming flower.

"Could it be that she gave her magic to..."

"Absorbed?!"

Seeing the magical energy, which had been greatly reduced after the casting of a powerful spell, being gradually recovered, everyone's expressions twisted in disbelief.

It is obvious that once the accumulation ends, the opponent will once again unleash that large-scale, wide-range annihilation magic.

The dreamlike scene that once attracted the beautiful light particles to the existence of the fairy spirits now appears to everyone as the scythe of death raised high.

Not only that, the fallen fairy raised her delicate chin and began to sing a melody. Her childlike innocence and soaring voice quickly attracted countless demons from behind.

A green and colorful surface.

It is a larval form and a man-eating flower monster.

The appearance of the demon army seemed to drain their strength, causing everyone's shoulders to slump and their eyes to be clouded with despair.

“Is that the end…?”
