You call this magic?

wrong.

Ethan stood outside the iron fence, looking at the stone floating in the air, which continuously emitted a red light like a burning flame, with his eyes slightly narrowed.

No, I've seen this thing before.

Of course, this does not refer to the animation. What is drawn is of course completely different from what you see in reality. Under the control of the machine, the heat emitted by the stone is confined inside the fence, but what frightens Ethan the most is the terrifying magical power inside.

This made him feel as if he saw another self.

According to Ethan's magic detection observation, its ability is very similar to that of human magicians, because while it consumes magic power, it can also restore its magic power on its own, and the speed is very fast, much faster than Ethan's recovery speed.

This is the truth about infinite magic, so Ethan has to change his strategy.

If it is used as the core of the magic network, once the amount of magic requested at the same time is greater than its recovery speed, then forget it and just declare the magic network plan a complete failure.

Therefore, its magic recovery speed and magic capacity must be enhanced. Fortunately, this is not a big problem for Ethan. He only needs to find a way to engrave his passive skills on it.

His two passive skills have been increasing his magic power to this day, and he has long been accustomed to the feeling of becoming stronger every moment.

Off topic, Ethan carefully observed the red sphere. At a certain moment, he had a flash of inspiration and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was a red sphere glowing inside the blurry barrier.

"...Fuck." The moment he thought of this, his scalp suddenly felt tingling.

No, he couldn't think about it anymore. If what was in Ethan's mind was true, he had to forget it as soon as possible, otherwise, the facts might change.

Putting these things aside, his next job was to stop the machine.

It is not known in which direction the technology of this ancient kingdom is heading. In short, according to the description in the diary, the control center is the base of the corona ore. Only when the two are combined can it be considered a complete control center. What we need to do now is to try to make the center terminate the last order.

Magic technology is the theoretical technology of magic. What Ethan is going to do next is similar to what he has always done to break the barrier.

The modern magic in this world is more like the skills in online games than magic. The main focus is on how to use it, but there is no need to delve into its theoretical knowledge. After all, you can become stronger by adding skill points. Who would bother to optimize the efficiency of magic power?

There is only one advantage to this, which is that it is not difficult to analyze, which is beneficial to magic researchers like Ethan.

Sitting down in front of the corona ore, Ethan closed his eyes.

Parsing begins.

……

Hundreds of kilometers away in Axel, adventurers were actively building temporary roadblocks.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if they already knew the tragedy that was about to happen. Even the wind had stopped, giving a feeling that a storm was about to come.

Although everyone knows that this thing is probably of no use to the Destroyer, psychological comfort is still comfort. At least it will make adventurers feel that they have tried their best.

Meanwhile, Axel's First Abstract Team and the Shin Four were standing behind the roadblock, nervously waiting with a group of adventurers, with the exception of Darkness.

She stood alone at the front, and in her words, that was her reason that she absolutely could not give in.

Even her face didn't show the panting and excitement that one would see when she was about to be ravaged, which shows how important this matter was to Darkness.

Kazuma wanted to give them some more advice, but Megumin said it wasn't a big deal.

"Because the boss has already gone to meet him," she said with an extremely confident smile on her face. "Just wait and see. A master like the boss, who can use super-powerful explosion magic, will definitely beat that destroyer to pieces!"

“But that thing has a magic barrier!” Kazuma shouted. “No matter how powerful the boss’s explosion magic is, how can he deal with a barrier that can defend against magic?”

"Are you stupid?" ×2

Megumin and Aqua cursed Kazuma in unison, but Kazuma just looked at Aqua with a shocked expression.

“What’s with that ‘I’m done, I’ve been called an idiot’ expression on your face? Do you look down on me, Kazuma? Hey!” Aqua immediately flew into a rage. “Then let me tell you, because the boss has already mastered the [Holy Curse]!”

“Oh, that’s right.” Kazuma tapped his palms together, a smile suddenly appearing on his face. “Boss, you can learn all of Aqua’s skills just by looking at them. Once you’ve learned them all, you can kick this stupid woman out of the team.”

“You bastard, you really want to kick me out!” Aqua pulled Kazuma’s face, her face full of anger, “This goddess’ role is much more important than yours!”

“That’s not right, Aqua.” At this time, Huihui shook her finger, her face full of disagreement with Aqua’s words, “That’s because no matter what kind of barrier it is, there is an absorption limit. As long as the boss can put a few more—what do you mean by those looks??”

“!!!” At this time, not only Kazuma and Aqua, but even the other adventurers next to them looked at Megumin with shocked eyes. The look as if they were knowing Megumin for the first time deeply hurt Megumin’s heart as a top student.

"It turns out that this girl with a mental problem also knows this kind of common sense."

“Hey! You rude guys! My name is Megumin! But I’ve been the top student in school all the way to graduation!”

"!!!"

"Why are you so shocked? Can't I be a top student?"

What Huihui said was correct, but Huihui forgot where she came from, the Crimson Demon Village. She was born to be a leader among magic users, and Huihui was indeed the strongest magician among her peers. If she didn't stick to the explosion magic, but instead put all her skill points into advanced magic, her future would definitely be a magician at the level of Wiz, or even stronger than Wiz before she became a lich.

However, Explosion Magic itself is also a very brutal magic, and the magic power consumed, skill points and power are directly proportional.

Even for someone like Huihui, it would take several consecutive bursts of this super-powerful explosive magic to break the magic barrier. It is normal that no one in the world can break it.

This is also the reason why the Destroyer has been able to be so arrogant until now.

The Axel Adventurer's Guild is now basically doing its best. If they really can't win, they will choose to abandon the town and come back after the Destroyer leaves.

Rumbling--

Finally, all the adventurers could feel a slight earthquake.

That was the vibration caused by the Destroyer crawling on the ground, enough to give a glimpse of how exaggerated its size was.

"coming!"

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 31: The Magic of Splitting the Sky

[Adventurers, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer is about to appear! All residents of the town, please move out of the town immediately and stay away from it! Then, adventurers, please prepare for battle!]

As the broadcast sounded again, even the announcer's voice became extremely tense.

From behind the distant hills, first a head could be seen, and then eight legs that almost danced like a phantom.

Hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

At this moment, the Axel adventurers deeply felt the weight of this sentence.

Faced with the huge body as big as a hill, many adventurers who thought they could deal with it calmly showed expressions of fear, and some even had legs so weak that they could hardly stand up straight.

"What's that? It's too big..."

"Hey, this is too much of a stretch. Is this really okay? There's no way you can beat this!"

The adventurers couldn't help but panic.

At present, the countermeasures they have discussed are to rely on Aqua's [Holy Curse] to destroy the magic barrier first, and then Wiz and Huihui on the city wall will release explosive magic at the same time to break the Destroyer's two legs. After that, it will be time for the brothers to rush forward and leave it to fate.

Explosion magic is something that not everyone can use. In the entire ancient kingdom of Belzec, there are less than five people who have the ability to cast this magic, and there are three of them in Axel alone, which is already outrageous. It is even more outrageous that two of them are magicians who can follow orders.

Combined with Aqua's [Holy Curse], the first two steps alone are beyond the ability of the Adventurer's Guild in other cities.

This is also the reason why Ethan insisted on staying in Axel instead of wandering around.

All the causes and effects in this world will eventually converge on Axel. What if he just left and Axel has new clues?

See, The Destroyer is a prime example.

As long as he stays here, sooner or later everything he wants will come to him.

"So, where did the boss go?" Kazuma thought about this question while holding the sword. He had never thought about the possibility of Ethan running away, but in this situation, even he was shaken.

"It's coming! Prepare for battle!"

Following an adventurer's nervous shout, all the adventurers forced themselves into combat mode.

"Aqua, please!" Kazuma had no choice but to solve the problem at hand first.

However, at this moment, a light voice suddenly sounded.

"That's not necessary."

This sound easily reached everyone's ears in the noisy battlefield.

Kazuma was certain that he had never heard this voice before, and the people around him also looked confused.

A film of light descended from the sky, enveloping everyone present. "Leave this to me."

This light film gave people a warm and comfortable feeling, and the adventurers who were extremely nervous before gradually became calm and composed.

At this time, a green-haired woman holding a magic wand slowly walked out from Axel's gate.

Her attire was no different from that of the other adventurers, but what was noticeable was the emblem of the ancient royal family of Belzec on her chest.

"King, the royal magician??"

Neither the magical sound transmission magic nor the light film covering the adventurers were the types of magic they had ever seen before.

But if you tell them that this person comes from the royal family, then nothing will be strange.

The adventurers in the royal capital were all elites who fought against the demonic forces. Advanced professions were just the basic requirements, and those who could gain a foothold there were the strongest among the strong.

At this moment, most of the adventurers showed a sense of relief on their faces.

The boss is here, and the sky is clear!

Although no one knew the identity of this green-haired magician, no one spoke as she walked past the adventurers and headed to the front.

They just looked at her back quietly.

"So beautiful..." An unknown adventurer muttered in a low voice. At this time, the others came to their senses and noticed that this person was not only a royal magician, but also a great beauty.

Of the women present, it seemed only Wiz could compete with her.

"Come on, come on!"

"Don't lose to that guy!"

After the initial silence, cheers began to rise. Aqua, who was about to cast [Holy Killing Curse], even looked depressed. She raised her wand and shouted at Kazuma twice, "Hey, Kazuma, are you going to cast magic again? That guy is getting close!"

“Ah, this, this magician!” Kazuma finally realized what was happening and shouted at the green-haired girl’s back, “There’s an idiot over here who can dispel magic barriers!”

"Who the hell are you calling an idiot???"

The green-haired magician just smiled and said, "That's no longer necessary."

She walked forward, and as she passed Darkness, she exchanged glances with her.

Darkness blushed instantly. She felt like she had been seen through by this woman at a glance. The illusion of having her privacy exposed to others without reservation made her a little excited.

"Miss Lalatina, your father asked me to send his regards to you."

After saying this, without caring about Darkness's reaction, the green-haired magician finally stood in front of the Destroyer.

"I see. I thought I'd try to find the ingredients for the barrier, but it's gone? Well, it doesn't matter."

She gripped the end of the wand and slid it down with precision like a scalpel.

"[Magic that cuts off everything]."

In an instant, a transparent light flashed and passed through the Destroyer's body at an extremely fast speed.

The Destroyer's footsteps stopped, and then its speed gradually slowed down. With the help of inertia, its giant body stirred up a storm and dust along the way. Amidst a violent roar, it finally stopped less than ten meters in front of the green-haired magician.

Precise control.

At this moment, someone noticed that the gloomy sky suddenly brightened, and subconsciously looked up. The scene that appeared before them made them open their mouths wide and fall into silence.

It was as if the dark cloud above Axel was split in two by a neat cut, and the sunlight shone through the cut, spreading freely on the earth, just illuminating the green-haired magician and the Destroyer that stopped in front of her.

It was then that everyone discovered that the once-mighty Destroyer had been completely split into two halves.

goooo...

Everyone swallowed their saliva.

"King, is the royal magician so exaggerated?" Huihui's face was a little pale, and she poked Aqua carefully.

"No, no, no, don't ask me..." Aqua's face was pale. That magic had exceeded Aqua's understanding of magic and had reached another dimension in power.

[Magic that cuts off everything], that's what that woman said.

This is so horrible, is this the royal family?

Then what kind of terrifying existence is this demon that fought back and forth with such a royal family?

Wiz: ...I'm not coming.
