You call this magic?

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 32: How can a man bear this?

Regardless of whether the royal family really has such terrifying magicians, the current situation is that the enemy, who had prepared with all their strength to resist, was instantly defeated by a royal magician. In a normal city defense battle, those adventurers who wanted to make a contribution would probably be furious and attack, but facing the Destroyer is another matter.

Everyone will breathe a sigh of relief.

According to today's definition, this thing is already considered a natural disaster.

But another group of people would think, if the royal family really had such a powerful magician, why did they allow the Destroyer to kill people everywhere in the past?

At least at this moment, some people would want to ask, but they dare not speak.

After all, that magician was too exaggerated, and no one would offend him in person.

But why didn't anyone move?

At this time, someone noticed that the green-haired magician stood there motionless, as if waiting for something.

Then they soon found out what the other party was waiting for.

The Destroyer moves.

To be precise, it is recovering.

The body that was split into two halves floated up and merged together again, and the spider legs on the ground also stood up again.

Seeing this scene, almost everyone was dumbfounded.

Some people even almost screamed.

How the hell do I fight this? What the hell!!

But the next second, they were even more dumbfounded. They saw that the Destroyer, who had stood up again, did not rush towards Axel as before, but sat down directly on the spot, with its eight legs stretched out on the ground. A large door opened on its huge body, and a staircase extended out and rested on the ground.

"It has to be you."

At this time, Ethan appeared at the end of the stairs.

"Boss Ethan??"

"Holy shit, Ethan?"

"Ethan? The Ethan that that devilish man Kazuma recognized as the boss?"

Everyone's eyes widened. What the hell was going on? Why was Ethan, who had disappeared at the beginning, here?

Soon they got the answer.

Ethan smiled and looked at the girl who was standing in front of the stairs and looking at him with a smile.

"Well done, Yubel! If you had arrived a minute later, even if I had cracked it successfully, Axel would have been overwhelmed."

Facing Ethan's praise, Yubel just smiled, put her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "Well, my magic is already very strong, right?"

"Ah, yes, your magic is the strongest." Ethan nodded, then he looked at the badge on Yubel's chest, "How is it, is this world interesting?"

Yu Beier raised her lips into a charming smile: "Of course."

Then, without caring about any manners, she raised her legs and ran towards Ethan, even leaving her wand there.

After running to Ethan's side, she threw herself into his arms without caring about anything else. She raised her head, her eyes full of seduction, "This is the punishment for leaving me for so long."

After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips fiercely.

"Oh!"

"Wow!"

"Alas!"

What kind of scene have I not seen (crossed out)? I have never seen this scene before.

The experienced adventurers had never seen such a scene before, and they were filled with envy and jealousy.

At this time, on the wall of Axel, Chris pursed her lips and looked at Wiz not far away.

Wiz just watched silently without saying a word.

"Go ahead, Boss!" Only Kazuma clenched his fists, "One day I want to be as good as you!"

"You'd better stop dreaming, Kazuma. First of all, do you have a royal magician girlfriend?"

"Shut up, isn't fantasy allowed anymore?"

At this moment, the two finally parted their lips. Yu Beier looked at Ethan with a dazed look in her eyes: "This time, I'll go first."

“…” What a damn competitive spirit.

"Alright, let me report the situation first. These guys are fighting for the safety of the town after all."

Letting go of Yubel, Ethan walked down the stairs first. He coughed lightly and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, let me make a conclusion first. From today on, the [Mobile Fortress Destroyer] is a thing of the past."

He pointed at the honest giant machine behind him.

"From now on, it has completely obeyed my orders. It will never go berserk again."

Instantly, the adventurers began to discuss the matter. Finally, the guild's receptionist stepped forward and officially asked, "Master Ethan, we are all confused about what happened before this. I wonder if you could explain it to us."

"of course can."

The whole picture of the matter is actually easy to understand. When Ethan was cracking this thing, the Destroyer was still following the orders of the dead abstract researcher and killing people everywhere. Ethan's estimated time was not accurate. According to his progress, it is very likely that by the time the Destroyer was defeated by Aqua and the others, he would not have completed the crack.

As we all know, after the Destroyer is damaged to a certain extent, it will activate its self-destruct device, which even the researchers themselves cannot deactivate.

Originally, Ethan wanted to take the corona ore away first and force it to shut down, but doing so would cause the machine's heat dissipation function to fail, leading to self-explosion, which would cause a huge loss. However, it was not a loss since he got the corona ore.

Until Ethan sensed Yubel's breath, he immediately contacted Yubel through telepathic magic and asked her to split the Destroyer first.

This cutting method can be restored using [Repair as Original], which is the best method.

Ethan took advantage of the time when Yubel cut the Destroyer open to crack it, and immediately activated [Repair as Before], and then took full control of the Destroyer.

That's the full picture.

Of course, the version told to the adventurers was different. He probably discussed it with Yubel in advance to buy time so that they would believe that everything was under control.

"In other words," the receptionist's expression grew increasingly excited. "So, that [Mobile Fortress Destroyer] is now under human control?"

"That's right." Ethan turned his head to look at the giant machine and pointed his thumb at the giant machine that was close at hand. "How about it, gentlemen, do you want to go in and take a look? I just set all the golems to friendly mode. They won't launch any more attacks."

At this moment, almost all the men's eyes lit up.

What man could resist the temptation of seeing the inside of a giant robot?

"Me, me, me, me!"

"Boss, I, I want one too!"

"By the way, the use of magic is prohibited inside. Anyone who dares to use it will be thrown out. Do you understand?" Ethan emphasized.

"No problem, no problem!" The adventurers nodded vigorously.

"Okay, everyone, form two lines and follow me!"

"Yes, Boss Ethan!"

The adventurers lined up very professionally, looking forward to following Ethan's footsteps.

Looking at their reactions, most of the female adventurers smiled helplessly.

"This group of stupid men..."

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 33: Hiss, It Smells So Good

"Oooohhh, is this the inside of a giant robot?! So horny!"

"Where's the color spot..."

“Boss Ethan, Boss Ethan, can this thing still move?”

"Boss Ethan is not here."

"Brothers, come here, there are so many golems!"

"Is this the cafeteria? Let me see what's in this pot—yue, it stinks! It's completely rotten!"

"Hahahaha idiot!"

"Fuck, is this a swimming pool? There's no water in it though."

“And a sauna???”

The adventurers jumped around inside the Destroyer. Although there was no one supervising them, they all followed Ethan's requirements obediently. Even though all the facilities inside made them very curious, they still did not touch everything they saw, and focused on sightseeing.

Because they knew very well that this thing would reopen sooner or later, especially after seeing the facilities inside.

An interesting thing is that although this thing is a large weapon, the living comfort during long journeys should have been taken into consideration when it was first designed, so it has everything, with the work area, storage area, leisure area, and accommodation area all clearly separated.

According to Ethan's personal judgment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this thing is a land cruise ship.

It's a pity that all the food stored in the storage area has rotted. If this world didn't have the corresponding cleaning magic, it would be disgusting just to clean up these things.

Putting aside the idea of ​​putting this thing into commercial use or other uses, Ethan did not visit with the adventurers because he had another thing to do.

In the center, right next to the Corona Ore, Ethan was constantly releasing and adjusting the barrier magic towards the Corona Ore.

After controlling the Destroyer, he roughly understood why it kept rampaging. It was completely forced to do so.

Even the ancient magical powers had only conducted rudimentary research on corona ore - this was also to blame on that abstract researcher. He had originally said that he wanted to use corona ore purely for the purpose of choking people, but he hadn't expected the country's adventurers to actually bring this thing up, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it. The consequence was that they underestimated the output of corona ore.

Infinite energy means that it releases energy all the time. If it is not consumed, it will continue to accumulate. When the accumulated energy exceeds the upper limit, the result will be overflow... in other words, explosion.

Therefore, the basic logic of the Destroyer is that in order to avoid the explosion and harm to the researchers inside, it can only continue to operate to consume this huge amount of energy. This is also something that the Magical Superpower had not considered at the time.

Ethan's research on the corona ore showed that the energy it can store internally also has an upper limit, so Ethan temporarily modified its operating mechanism.

One is to expand the magic storage limit at all times, just like Ethan himself. This is a very metaphysical method. After all, the volume is limited. If you want to increase the upper limit, you can only compress the magic steadily - this is what Ethan did.

The density of magic in Ethan's body is very scary now. Basically, all the organs in his body are the core of magic. While transforming his body, he also increases the storage limit. With the grace of God, he looks forward to his body reaching its true limit one day. He also wants to see the scenery that can only be seen from above. It must be very beautiful.

Corona ore is different. After all, it is a magical product. After undergoing this transformation, it may become another substance. However, it is just the beginning now, so it is hard to say.

I've gone off topic. Those are all things to come later. What Ethan needs to do now is to limit its energy recovery speed and set an upper limit for energy recovery, just like the mechanism of a mobile phone that stops charging after it is fully charged. These operations are not difficult and can be easily accomplished through magic barriers.

It took about two hours to complete the transformation. Ethan opened his eyes, exhaled, and lay down directly, but he didn't expect to feel a soft touch on the back of his head.

"?" Ethan looked up and saw Yubel's smiling eyes. "It's you."

The stiff muscles relaxed, and Yubel kneaded Ethan's face quite naturally.

"When did you come?"

"Well... I don't remember. When I came, you should have been sitting there for a long time." Yu Beier lowered her head, and their faces were close to each other. Ethan could easily smell the faint fragrance on her body. The drooping hair fluttered on Ethan's face, making him feel a little itchy.

It seems like I haven't felt this way for a while.

"Yubel." Ethan suddenly spoke.

"Oh, is there anything you need me to do?" Yu Beier asked with a smile.

"Do you want to sign a contract with me?" he asked seriously.

"..." Yu Beier's eyes froze, her red lips slightly parted. At this distance, Ethan could hear her heartbeat suddenly speed up a little, but it quickly calmed down. "Okay, what is the contract?"

Even a girl like Yu Beier would sometimes pretend to be calm?

"At first, I didn't think we'd get separated," Ethan sighed. "So, I never considered how I'd find you if we did get separated. So, I want you to become my dependent. At least through this contract, no matter where you end up, I'll be able to sense your location."

"..." Yu Beier calmed down completely, and looked at Ethan with a strange look, "That's it?"

"Oh, and this contract will grant you a power called 'Blessing'..."

Next, Ethan explained the mechanism of [Secondary Favor] to Yubel very seriously.

After he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat up, and asked seriously: "Are you willing to sign such a contract with me?"

"..." Yubel's gaze became even weirder, staring at Ethan so hard that his scalp felt numb.

"What, what happened?"

"Ah..." Yubel sighed rarely and leaned close to Ethan's face. "Hey, have you become stupid from studying magic?"

"Huh?" Ethan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

No, this is a good thing. Why does Yubel have this expression?

"Hmm~" Yubel stretched out her finger and poked Ethan's left cheek lightly, "I don't want~"
