Explosion Magic (End)

On the hill beside the town of Axel.

When we got out, it was almost noon.

"Araragi, attentive well to the prowess of the explosion magic, the strongest attack spell ever!" Megumin.

"certain." I'm nodding. "Give me the best."

"Good!" He flicked his robe, and pointed his staff forward." O darkness older than black and dimmer than dark, I command you, be one with my dark red.

"The time to rise has come."

"O justice that is within absolute limits, appears as a disembodied distortion!"

"Dance, dance, dance!"

Hm? Should we shout about the name of our magic to the enemy?

"I crave the destructive power in my energy flow. Unmatched crusher. Who returned all the creators to ashes, who came from the abyss of darkness!"

Very long, I can be attacked before I finish!

"This is the strongest attack known to mankind, the highest attack magic!"

"Explosions!"

Booom!

Vibrates.

Red glows. Devouring everything.

Explosions that shine brightly even during the day. So beautiful and amazing, but also scary.

I watched him with one eye closed.

Strong air waves spread out. My clothes and hair swayed violently.

The heat from the explosion went with the air currents, which made me feel the heat all over my face.

"How, Araragi?" Megumin fell to the ground. "Very great and beautiful, right!?"

"...."

I'mwatching.

The large mana of a little girl, came out, making a huge explosion just from her small body.

That's too crazy.

Too beautiful.

But also Amazing.

Mana Energy. These particles called 'Mana' surpassed human common sense. It can be felt but it cannot be thought.

In the previous few hours, I had learned a little about the Mana energy in my spare time.

I don't know how to explain. That's like...

... Aerial.

Particles that wander in front of the eyes.

Around humans.

Then, in human life.

I cannot express in simple words, but like the odd things in my world, they really do exist.

Opening the adventure card, I saw the name of the Explosion skill that Megumin had used before on my adventure card.

I learned it, spent some of my points. Then, some information flowed through my mind, and I felt like I could use explosion magic right now.

Unlike Megumin loudly saying a slap, I said it lowly.

I set up my Mana, focused it at the end of my finger while imagining what an explosion was, and after at the end of the chant, I said it out loud enough.

"Explosions." I pointed it at the big rocks.

Mmmm!

A shrieking sound was heard.

My turbulent mana came loose, producing an extremely powerful explosion. Like fireworks that swallowed everything, there was nothing left, only a crater underneath.

"Hey Araragi, are you okay?" Kazuma asked with Megumin on his back. "If you feel dizzy, we can rest next to that big tree."

? "...."

Dizziness? What does he mean?

"That's right. As Kazuma said, let's rest while having lunch Aqua prepared. And still able to stand up despite already using Explosion magic, as expected of Araragi." Megumin said, she gave her thumb to me.

Oh, true. Explosion magic requires a great mana. If one were to use it, where he would be severely depleted, it could even experience temporary paralysis like Megumin. I just realized it.

But... I don't feel anything. Even a little.

My mana was not drained even after using blast magic, a magic that greatly drained mana.

How could?

Is it because I drink the water of eternity? The same makes me never tired, makes my Mana never run out?

"Mall?" Megumin looked at me in confusion.

Ignored him. Spelling out a spell, I unleashed the Explosion magic once again while feeling my Mana.

With an echoing sound and strong shocks, a huge crater formed like a falling meteorite.

"Uh? How come?" Ask Kazuma.

"Yeah!! Very cheating! How can Araragi use it twice?! I'm so envious!" Shouted Megumin, pointing at me.

"Very good." Aqua. "With Araragi-san, we can definitely defeat the demon lord! Then, after defeating the demon lord, I can return to heaven!"

Aqua played her party trick, and Darkness tilted her head.

"Goddess?"

Ignoring them, I stared at my palm.

This time I know it.

Throw away the water, but it never runs out.

Spending the Mana at the same time filling it back up.

Amazing - Cheat mine!

Perched out, I cast out an explosion magic once again.

"Explosions!"

The explosion!

"Rubber..." Kazuma.

"Yeah!!! Cheating! Araragi is cheating!" Megumin shook Kazuma's shoulder. "That's not true. How could one use explosion magic more than once?!"

I rubbed my nose.

Now I don't have to worry anymore. With explosion magic, I can attack enemies that number hundreds of times more in one attack.

And for the next, I just need to raise my level and get stronger.

"Let's have lunch." I said.

I stepped my feet excitedly onto the big tree and sat on the open carpet with dishes on it.

....

Next day.

In a deserted alley.

"Why are we going to that Undead place? Don't tell me Araragi-san wants to learn an Undead skill like Neetzuma?" Aqua. "Let me tell you, there's nothing good about the smelly Undead skill. If you want to learn a skill, I'll teach you a party trick skill."

"Oi, don't change my name with shame! "Kazuma hit Aqua's head. "And also, don't teach others with your useless skills."

"Why hit me?! Believe it or not, Neet trash like you will be hit by the punishment of the heavens!

Yup. Even as he walked, they were still like themselves.

"Hey you two, calm down." Darkness.

He was no longer nervous when he was near me. It seemed like he was no longer thinking about that thing in the bathroom.

"Maralli, Araragi. Please tell me how you used blast magic more than once like yesterday. I'd do anything if you told me!" Megumin said as she shook my arm.

Down, I saw the loli pleading with me from yesterday as I showed my explosive magic.

"Can't." I refused, crossing my fingers. "This is my Cheat."

"You keep answering that from yesterday." Megumin. "What is a cheat? Can I get it?"

"No. Cheat is like a skill. And others can't get it."

"Skill, aye... Alright." Megumin releases her hand with her head bowed.

Fuhh- Finally she let me go.

After that we arrived in front of the equipment shop. Kazuma came in, then the three of them, and then I was the last one to enter.

"Welcome-Ara, it turns out Kazuma-san and the others. What brought you here?"

And we were greeted by a jumbo-chested Onee-san.

No, it's very jumbo. One of the biggest I've ever seen.

"Not me, but him." Kazuma pointed at me.

"Kiyomi Araragi." I said, as he looked at me. "Greetings."

"Oh, my name is Wiz, the owner of this shop. Hello to you." Said the Onee-san. "So, what does Araragi-san want?"

"Oppai."

Damnit. Stop my perverted mind!

"Y-yes?"

Now he doubts me.

"No - I mean, teleportation. I want you to send me to the village of the red witch."

"Sure, I can send you there." Answer Wiz

"Red witch village?" Megumin asked, interested as she heard the name of her village. "What do you want to do in my village, Araragi?"

"I heard, near the village of red witches there are many powerful monsters, right?"

"Yes. That's right."

"Because I want to level up quickly, so I think I can find a place where many powerful monsters gather." My word. "After I looked up where it fits, I found a place. Yeah, it's the village of the red witch."

"Well, it is indeed suitable if looking for a powerful monster," Megumin hesitated. "But the levels there are far from strong. They're very strong. There are even monsters that can destroy a city by themselves, and one of them is Fenrir."

"Fenrir? You mean, that wolf that has such a powerful physique and magic?" Ask Kazuma. "Megumin, doesn't your village sound very dangerous?"

"Yes. That's absolutely true. But in my village, we produce many Arc Wizards every year." Megumin Clear. "Even the demon lord did not dare to disturb our village. If it's just an attack from a feathered wolf, it's nothing to us."

I knew that clearly in his novel. There was even one time, once every four years, they, the red witches gathered to feast.

Whahuh? It was only natural that they wanted to celebrate the gathering of their clan members once every four years?

Yes, I have no problem with that either; no — what happens if a Chuuni gathers with great power in their hands?

They did something crazy; I mean, they might just be the cause of the demon lord attacking humans.

What did they do to make the demon lord so angry like that?

They partied in the courtyard of the demon king's castle, then shot out various kinds of magic into the demon king's castle, before they teleported, leaving behind the chaos they had created.

"Oi, Araragi, what's wrong with looking down on me?!"

"none. Just thought that all the women in the village of the red witch must be beautiful and cute."

When Megumin hesitated, I turned my face away.

And without blinking, I said to that jumbo-chested Onee-san.

"I'm ready. Wiz, you can start doing it."
