The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

Another battlefield.

“No, no, no! Megumin, is your magic ready or not! Hurry up!”

Yunyun was distracting Hoost.

To call it distraction was really just using magic to attract aggro while running around trying to evade attacks. Although she knew that this division of labor was necessary because of their magic…

“Megumin, hurry up, ahhhh!”

Yunyun was so anxious she was about to cry, yelling wildly on the plains, with a goblin hot on her heels. Even though she didn't have any cough syrup on her, she was still being chased like this.

“Don't rush me, let me concentrate!”

Megumin waved the staff in her hand, concentrating her own magic.

Because she had just spent a lot of skill points learning Explosion magic, and hadn't learned high-speed incantation yet, she had to chant a lengthy spell.

“Darkness blacker than black, darkness darker than dark, I beseech thee, combine with my crimson gold!

When the moment of awakening comes, descend from the fount of madness tainted by my power!

Let the dance begin, let the dance begin, let the dance begin!

I desire the power to reshape the world, a power unmatched, to incinerate all creation and descend from the abyss!”

At the tip of Megumin's staff, a white orb, shimmering and compressing immense magical power, had already appeared.

And then—

“Yunyun, dodge quickly!”

“I, I know!”

Yunyun cast a mid-level fireball behind her, but her target wasn't Hoost, but a point a little distance behind herself.

The fireball exploded, and the sudden force pushed Yunyun backwards, instantly creating distance between her and Hoost. After rolling on the ground a few times, she got up and ran away again.

Her application of magic was very exquisite.

The next moment.

“—Explosion!”

The ultimate technique descended from the sky, shaking the skies of Axel. The intense explosion blew the caravan over, leaving a huge crater, and Hoost, the target, had disappeared.

The gale blew Megumin to the ground, but she still proudly shouted, “Did you see that! This is humanity's most powerful means of attack, this is the ultimate attack magic! With the power of a house in the royal capital, could a mere superior demon withstand it!”

This girl was soft all over, except for her mouth.

Yunyun, her face covered in dirt, came to Megumin, who was lying on the ground like a corpse, expressionless.

Megumin grinned, trying to take credit. “Did you see, Yunyun, my Explosion magic is the strongest!”

“…Then you should have used it earlier, you made me get chased by a demon the whole time! I was almost scared to death, ahhhh!!!”

“My face! My face! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Damn Yunyun, to attack me while I'm weak, I'll remember this grudge!”

Yunyun pushed Megumin around on the ground, which was the only time she could punish her only good friend.

The crisis was resolved.

The two relaxed and played around happily for a while.

Megumin asked curiously, “What about Kazuma? Wasn't he fighting against Eris? What was the result?”

“I don't know…”

Yunyun also looked into the distance with some worry, and said, “Just now, when Megumin released Explosion magic, there was also a loud noise in the distance. I think it was Kazuma releasing magic.”

The two looked at each other.

Both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Afterwards, Yunyun carried Megumin to the battlefield where Kazuma was, and saw him leaning against a tree, his face pale and burned out, his head slightly lowered, a smile of no regrets on his lips.

Yunyun said softly, “Kazuma…”

Megumin, lying on Yunyun's back, put her hands together and mourned, “I didn't expect Kazuma to sacrifice himself heroically for us… There's nothing we can do, let's build a grave for him here. Don't worry, Kazuma will live on with us from now on. That's right, he will live in our hearts and be with us forever…”

“Kazuma is still alive! Megumin, why do you have to curse him to die!”

“…Yunyun, you're such a freak.”

“I don't want to be called that by you!”

Megumin just wanted to use the atmosphere to perform the contents of 《The Crimson Demon Clan's Post-War Lines》, but unfortunately, Yunyun was a freak (normal person) and didn't understand her thoughts.

At this time, Kazuma was exhausted.

With the idea of ​​"leaving regrets for morality, not hidden dangers for life", he squeezed out all the magic power of himself and the Cherry Bomb to release the strongest magic, the purpose of course was to completely eliminate Eris.

As a result, Eris was successfully eliminated, and he had to lean against a tree to rest because of excessive magic consumption, and fell asleep because he was too tired.

In the end, without Kazuma's knowledge, he was carried back to the carriage by the merchants and adventurers who came.

Kazuma and Megumin were lying on the board together.

The caravan boss said eagerly to Yunyun: “Oh, I didn't expect the three of you to be so powerful that you can even defeat superior demons. As expected of the great archmages of the Crimson Demon Clan…”

He said a lot of compliments and took out a lot of rewards, hoping Yunyun would accept them.

However, Yunyun just kept perfunctorily.

Fortunately, the caravan boss was very discerning. After discovering that Yunyun was impatient (actually afraid of strangers), he quickly found an excuse to leave.

Afterwards, Yunyun looked at Megumin lying asleep, and said softly: "Megumin is really amazing, she can even defeat that kind of demon, not to mention Kazuma... I'm still far behind."

She stared at the space between Kazuma and Megumin for a long time, and then, for some reason, tiptoed to lie in the middle.

Kazuma and Megumin felt something was wrong, and subconsciously hugged the body pillow next to them, and Yunyun, who was suddenly hugged, covered her blushing cheeks with her hands.

Too shy!

At this time, the carriage slowly drove into Axel.

While Kazuma was unconscious, he did not hear the conversations coming from outside the carriage window.

“It's another world… Hey, hey, hey, it's really another world! Eh, really? Can I really use magic and go on adventures in this world next?”

“Ah, ah, ah…”

“It's beast ears! Someone has beast ears! And elf ears! Is that an elf? Her features are so perfect, it must be an elf! Goodbye NEET life, hello other world! If it's this world, I'm willing to go out and work obediently!”

“I can't go back, I can't go back! What should I do, what should I do, ahhhh!”

The two people's arguments were a bit noisy. Kazuma, who was lying like a corpse in the carriage, frowned slightly, as if he disliked the future life.

On the other side.

Alcanretia, the City of Water.

At the Axis Church headquarters, Zesta, kneeling under the statue of the goddess, suddenly shouted, “The oracle has descended——! In Axel, it's in Axel! I knew it! Cecily, you should know, that place is——”

“Yes! Lord Zesta, I know, I'll go now! Please rest assured, I will definitely protect the Goddess (provisional)! I'll bet on the glory of the Axis Church!”

Cecily got up and walked out without thinking.

Super invincible beautiful boy, I will never give up!

Goddess, I thank you so much!
