I love time travel the most!

"It's far from over!"

The enormous, materialized right fist continued to strike the beluga whale's head.

Despite having been practicing swordsmanship recently, he abandoned it and resorted to his fists at this moment.

But I must say, fists are very effective.

The damage inflicted was at least greater than that caused by Wilhelm, who used swordsmanship.

"We have to do our part too!"

Seemingly unwilling to be outdone, a kobold roared and charged in, brandishing a clanging machete and delivering several vicious blows to the white whale.

Tearing through the outer skin, piercing into the flesh, fighting bravely.

In order to drive away the enemies that were harassing it, the beluga whale had no other way but to swing its huge body.

Even the advantage brought by its originally imposing and huge body has vanished, and instead, its inability to flexibly dispel Kobayashi has become its own weakness.

Once you find a weakness, you should exploit it thoroughly.

"Everyone, stand back!"

As Kurshion's command resounded across the battlefield, Wilhelm, Kobayashi, Ricardo, and the others who were engaged in close combat leaped off the white whale and retreated.

The beluga whale, now free, twists its body dramatically in anticipation of its long-awaited counterattack.

And that is its misjudgment.

"You've revealed a weakness!"

Aiming at Kobayashi's charred side, Kurshu unleashed his second slash, further enlarging the wound.

At this moment, the mages who had only filled the magic cannons with energy also joined the battle.

"—El Goya!"

The overlapping chants of many people created a fiery aurora.

The enormous fireball condensed in mid-air, then accelerated to high speed, striking the beluga whale directly in the side.

Flames burned into its body through the wounds inflicted so far, and the beluga whale, its internal organs boiling, let out a mournful cry.

Small clusters of flame scattered across the plain, and the mercenary groups hurriedly moved away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Then the burning beluga whale was struck again with tremendous force.

"—Explosion!"

The third burst spell!

boom! ! !

Another explosion was heard.

It deals far more damage than a giant fireball formed by hundreds of mages!

The series of explosive magic spells not only drew attention from Kursh, Phyllis, and the others, but also from the Iron Fang Mercenary Group, who couldn't help but take a second look at Kobayashi.

The ability to unleash so many violent spells is definitely not to be underestimated.

What they didn't know was that this was Kobayashi's last ripple... a magic crystal!

Every time he travels through the world, he carries three magic crystals just in case, but he rarely uses them in the past. However, this time, when facing the white whale, he used them all at once!

If the white whale hadn't yet entered its second stage, he would have already prepared to unleash his fourth burst spell, transforming his own magic power into it.

Looking at this overwhelming result, even the one-sided battle, it can only be said that it was the result of launching an attack with an unparalleled advantage by taking advantage of a surprise attack.

In a location unaffected by the aftershocks of the flames, Natsuki Subaru, perched atop the earth dragon's back, clenched his fist as he gazed at the fiercely burning white whale.

"It feels very effective! We can win, we're sure to win this way!"

All the strategies prepared in advance were perfectly implemented.

Although it's too early, there's already an exciting feeling that victory is just around the corner.

If Kobayashi heard him say that, he would definitely tell him it was wishful thinking.

Although most of the beluga whale's body is still being burned by large-scale magic, the flames that burned along its fur have vanished without warning. It also has many wounds from the direct attack of the magic stone cannon, and the sight of it dripping blood is enough to make one feel immense pain.

however--

"The altitude hasn't decreased?"

The beluga whales are still in the sky, where you have to look up to see them.

As expected, the magic's effect was suppressed.

At first glance, the magic seemed to hit its mark spectacularly, but the white fur emitted magical power that suppressed the force, and the white whale also possessed rock-like skin that was the most effective counter to fire magic.

Kobayashi's magic wasn't as effective as it seemed.

How to do?

How about giving that a try?

"Young man, could you use that one more time?"

A loud voice rushed into my ears.

Landing beside Kobayashi was Ricardo the kobold.

"Which one is that?"

"That's the one!"

He gestured with his hands.

Even if Ricardo hadn't said it, Kobayashi would have known he was referring to Explosion Magic.

That's really putting people in a difficult position.

The drawback of the Explosion spell is that it drains all of the caster's magic power and stamina, which is completely uncontrollable unless a magic crystal can be used as a substitute. That's why he was able to join the battle even after using it three times.

But did this kobold really think that such powerful magic could be cast casually?

"Please, bro!"

"Alright, since you've put it that way, give me three minutes."

There's no other way, so I'll just have to give that a try.

Among Kobayashi's talents is "Demon King Special Attack," which greatly enhances attacks against enemies with the "Demon King" attribute.

He initially thought this ability was only effective against the Demon King, but as he gained a deeper understanding of the skill, he finally realized its true purpose.

You know, people are all hypocritical.

They would subconsciously portray themselves as saviors, while their opponents would naturally be villains, and powerful opponents could be seen as demon kings.

That's how Kobayashi hypnotized himself.

That is:

I don't care what you think, I only care what I think!

If I say you're the Demon King, then you are the Demon King!

Prepare to die, beluga whale!

Chapter 387 Tremble, Body! Stir, Heart! Echo!

At the edge of the battlefield, where various spells were flying and the atmosphere was bustling, there was a dragon chariot. The chariot was protected by a wind-sheltered buff, which forcibly created a small quiet space, making it seem out of place in the noisy battlefield.

"Kobayashi, Rem and I will protect you here."

"Little Phil is here too, he'll be there to help if anything happens, meow~"

"Please forgive my bluntness, but I will take care of Lord Kobayashi's protection myself. You gentlemen should worry about your own safety first. Otherwise, if you get hurt, Lord Kobayashi will have to accept your favors."

Liu Zi's sharp tongue remains as venomous as ever.

However, those who knew the other party's strength were not angry, since they would really need the doll girl's help if something unexpected happened.

"I understand, then I'll leave it to you."

Under the firm and encouraging gazes of Subaru Natsuki, Rem, and the cat-eared man, Felice, Kobayashi took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

three minutes.

This wasn't a time for him to chant magic or catch his breath and recover his strength, but rather a time to cultivate his own emotions.

Remember it quickly!

That feeling of powerlessness and the urgent desire to have the power to turn the situation around!

To be honest, Kobayashi has only experienced this feeling once.

That was in "DanMachi," on the 59th floor, when I was fighting the Fallen Fairy and was caught in a massive magic wave. Because I had to protect Ryuu beneath me, I couldn't think of any way to escape and felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Although they narrowly escaped the magical bombardment thanks to the ribbon of the silly goddess, the sense of relief and helplessness after surviving the ordeal was deeply etched into their minds.

Then came the all-out attack on the Fallen Fairy Spirits.

At that time, most of them were seriously injured and on the verge of death. Kobayashi had subconsciously regarded them as a formidable enemy that he could only defeat with a death wish.

With the cover of Finn, Ais, and others, they finally managed to defeat the enemy.

What's important isn't their successful campaign, but rather that Kobayashi noticed something was wrong with himself during the process.

At the time, they placed all their hopes on Kobayashi's final blow, and even Kobayashi himself did so, using all three magic crystals to increase the chances of success.

But looking back, the power of Kobayashi's attack was clearly wrong; it was several times greater than expected!

—The favor of the water goddess?

(Immune to all negative effects during battle, all abilities are greatly increased, and stamina and mental energy are continuously replenished)

I had wondered if it was the source of the increase, but that doubt was quickly dismissed.

Because at that time, Kobayashi had already entered a battle state, which was already amplified, and later it was obvious that a second amplification could be felt.

So what is the reason?

I've also had doubts about things like Bell's "heroic wish" and Ota's "I stand here, I am here," but their abilities still differ from Kobayashi's.
