The group arrived at a plain, and Mo Li finally let go of them, throwing them to the ground.
"Kazuma, are you alright?"
"Yes, where's Aqua? Where did that idiot goddess go?"
"Aqua said she was going to get reinforcements, and then she ran off in a flash!"
"Sure enough, I knew that idiot was useless; she'd be the first to run away if anything happened."
Kazuma made a complaint, then used his strength to stand up and rubbed his butt, which had been split in two.
Then she looked at Mo Li, and the two exchanged a glance. Kazuma quickly avoided Mo Li's gaze, fear returning to his heart, which pounded wildly.
"Youyou, why are you here, and with the Demon King no less?"
"It's been a long time, Huihui. I...I've come here to defeat you. Let's settle this once and for all!"
"This is not the time to discuss this. Let me ask you, when did you join the Demon King's army? Aren't you afraid that the clan leader and the others will expel you from the Crimson Demon Clan for doing this?"
"Eh—! How could this be? Father, he..."
Youyou was clearly struck by Huihui's words and panicked for a moment. She clutched her chest with both hands, looking completely helpless, which only made Huihui more smug.
Seeing this, Mo Li coughed twice and then comforted Youyou:
"It's alright, Youyou. It's just a mere Crimson Demon Clan member. I'll just talk to your father, and he'll never dare to expel you. Don't worry about it."
"Yes, is that so? Yes, Mr. Mo Li has been a great help!"
Youyou said with tears of gratitude, "This feeling of losing something and then getting it back is truly a rollercoaster of emotions."
Huihui immediately covered her face with her hands. This guy was hopeless. Couldn't she hear the threat in Mo Li's voice? Maybe her father would just disappear into thin air.
"Come on, Huihui, today we'll settle this long-standing feat!"
"What's wrong with you, Youyou? As a member of the Crimson Demon Clan, shouldn't you announce your name before challenging someone to a duel? I (ajfc) taught you that before!"
"I...I understand. Although I'm a little shy in front of strangers, cough cough, my name is Youyou. As a great mage, I am someone who can manipulate advanced magic and will become the patriarch of the Crimson Demon Clan!"
Youyou blushed, but still managed to utter this incredibly cringeworthy statement.
Huihui nodded, then decisively rejected Youyou's challenge.
"Please forgive me for refusing, but my companions are in danger, and I have no mood to duel with you."
"How could this be? I finally mastered the Explosion Magic, and I was hoping to have a showdown with you!"
Huihui, who had already refused, suddenly had a glint in her eyes when she heard Youyou say that she had mastered the Explosion Magic, and she lowered her head and giggled.
The sound was somewhat eerie, and Youyou hid behind Mo Li, peeking out with her little head.
"So that's how it is, Youyou! You actually learned Explosion Magic! Youyou, who used to have a hard time even graduating, actually learned Explosion Magic! Hehe, hahahahaha!"
"Huihui, are you alright?!"
"Very well, I accept your request. Now I'll show you who the true master of Explosion Magic is!"
Huihui's fighting spirit was rekindled, and she agreed to Youyou's challenge.
The two arrived at an open space not far away, and simultaneously took out their wands, preparing for a duel of explosive magic.
Now only Kazuma remains in the arena, and facing Mo Li's oppressive aura, Kazuma feels that even breathing has become difficult.
"Hey, this situation is really putting me in a difficult position by leaving me alone!"
"Then, how about we have a duel? Kazuma Sato, if you win, I'll clear your name and prove you're not part of the Demon King's army. If you lose..."
"Wait, wait a minute! How could I possibly beat you? Darkness, Wiz, you two, speak up for me!"
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Kazuma shook his head repeatedly and pleaded with Darkness and Wiz behind Mo Li.
Wiz clasped his hands together, looking embarrassed, and said:
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Kazuma, but even I couldn't stop Lord Moli's battle!"
"How could this happen, Darkness? You don't want me to be killed by him too, do you?"
Darkness's expression was somewhat conflicted, after all, Kazuma was her former comrade-in-arms.
"Mo Li, I think maybe..."
"Shut up. You are currently just my prisoner and have no right to interfere in my affairs."
"Hmm... what wonderful words! Yes, Demon Lord, I am your prisoner!"
Darkness was panting heavily, her face flushed, and she kept squirming her body.
Seeing this, Kazuma Sato narrowed his eyes and calmly said to Darkness:
"Hey Darkness, you were excited just now, weren't you!"
"No, don't talk nonsense, Kazuma, I... I didn't."
"Because you just 'hmm'ed."
"Damn it, you figured it out? Well, there's nothing I can do about it then. Good luck, Kazuma!"
"Add my ass! How am I supposed to win like this, you bastard!"
Kazuma Sato kept backing away, feeling no joy whatsoever despite Darkness's encouragement.
Mo Li frowned as he looked at Darkness's expression; he finally understood what it felt like to be dead.
Thinking of this, Mo Li turned to look at He Zhen and asked sincerely:
"Why don't you take this guy with you? As long as I don't see her again, I won't fight you!"
Before He Zhen could respond, Darkness rushed forward and grabbed Mo Li's leg.
"No! I'd rather die than leave! Being harassed by the Demon King is my job as a Crusader!"
"Hey, don't say things that will make others misunderstand. I haven't done anything wrong! I can't stand you, Kazuma Sato. If you take her away, this battle can be avoided!"
Mo Li lowered his standards again, but Darkness was like a stubborn plaster that he couldn't shake off.
However, after witnessing Dakness's perverted nature, Kazuma decisively shook his head and resolutely refused, saying:
"No, I don't need that kind of teammate anymore. I finally managed to get rid of her, and I will absolutely never let her join my team again. That's right, I'd rather die than agree to it!"
"Ah, this feeling of being abandoned by others is also great. Kazuma, well done!"
Darkness gave Sato Kazuma a thumbs-up, while tightly hugging Mo Li with her other hand.
Mo Li sighed helplessly, feeling utterly overwhelmed by this group of people.
The Blade of Rebellion appeared instantly in his hand, and Kazuma couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw it.
"So, Kazuma Sato, are you ready?"
"Come on...come on, I'm very lucky, there's absolutely no chance..."
Before Kazuma could finish speaking, a "thud" was heard, and the Blade of Rebellion had already pierced through his neck.
Kazuma Sato died at Mo Li's hands once again.
Chapter 301 Explosion Magic vs. Explosion Magic, Reincarnated Megumin
Kazuma Sato's body lay on the ground, blood flowing continuously from the wound on his neck.
Although he knew the guy would come back to life, Mo Li couldn't suppress the killing intent in his bones and forced him to die.
Mo Li narrowed his eyes, pondering whether to destroy his corpse now so that he could never be resurrected, but doing so would also increase the risks.
After all, who knows if the next hero to appear will be an S-rank? What if we summon a cautious hero? With my current strength, I can't possibly defeat him.
After much deliberation, Mo Li decided to spare He Zhen's life and put away the flames.
Mo Li no longer cared about He Zhen's life or death, and turned to look at Youyou's side, where their battle was about to begin.
Youyou and Huihui grew up in the Crimson Demon Clan. Youyou even regarded Huihui as her rival and claimed that she had never won against her.
Now that the two are facing off again, and this time with explosive magic, Mo Li can't help but look forward to it.
"Since it's a challenge about explosive magic, I can't just ignore it."
"Huihui, let me show you the results of my training over this period of time!"
Yoyo said confidently that she and Mana spent every day in the training ground and studied the magic encyclopedia at night. Coupled with the already impressive magical skills of the Crimson Demon Clan, Yoyo's strength has made significant progress.
Huihui is someone who uses Explosion Magic year-round. She hasn't learned any other type of magic besides Explosion Magic, and can only use it once a day.
"The darkness shrouded in light, the explosive flames hidden in the night—leaving everything else aside, when it comes to explosive magic, I don't want to lose to anyone. Let's go, Yoyo!"
"Huihui, I've finally waited for this day. Let's put an end to all of this!"
The two chants overlapped, and layers of magic circles appeared in the sky.
A galaxy of magical power gradually converged towards the center of the magic circle, accompanied by red lightning.
"Explosion!" ×2
The two explosive spells collided, causing a huge explosion and sending a mushroom cloud into the sky.
The aftershocks even reached Mo Li's side, demonstrating just how powerful it was.
Explosion magic, even among high-level magic, is considered one of the more advanced types.
Youyou's ability to unleash such power with explosive magic in such a short time is truly remarkable; she is incredibly talented.
As the smoke cleared, Huihui was lying face down on the ground, having used up all her magic in one go.
Youyou knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
"It seems this battle has already been decided!"
Mo Li slowly walked to Huihui, who didn't even have the strength to lift her head, so she could only lie on the ground and say:
"Hmph, you only beat me once. I've beaten Youyou countless times!"
"This is just the beginning. I won't lose from now on, Megumin!"
Youyou forced herself to stand up, clenched her fists, and said confidently.
No one could see Huihui's expression clearly, but judging from her tone, she seemed very unconvinced.
Mo Li shook his head. Are all the Crimson Demon Clan members so stubborn that they refuse to admit their defeat?
"Let's go, Youyou, there's no need to continue. You are the undisputed winner!"
"Hey, are we just leaving like this? What about Megumin...?"
"Don't worry about her, she'll recover on her own soon."
"No, Mr. Mo Li, aren't you planning to take Huihui back with you?"
Youyou's words were startling, and she wore a surprised expression, seemingly not understanding Mo Li's actions at all.
Mo Li glanced at Huihui lying on the ground, pursed her lips, and said:
"Youyou, what kind of person do you take me for? I don't need this kind of flat-chested loli. I prefer girls like Youyou, Wiz, and Darkness!"
Mo Li's words immediately aroused Hui Hui's dissatisfaction. She was already somewhat insecure about her body, especially given the significant difference between her and Youyou.
Huihui's face darkened; even though she was unable to move, she refused to admit that she was a loli.
"Huh? Who's a loli? You bastard, I... I don't need that fat-filled weight!"
"That's true, Huihui has had this figure for a long time, and her development has never been as good as mine..."
"Shut up! You jerk, Youyou, I promise I won't lose to you next time, absolutely!"
"Is that so? Then I'll wait for you at the Demon King's Castle!"
Youyou looked completely innocent, but would she really come to a place like that? Demon King's Castle, that's the Demon King's stronghold.
Huihui wanted to complain, but as the loser, she couldn't refuse the invitation, so she could only stubbornly say:
"I understand, Demon King's Castle, right? I'll definitely go!"
Just as Youyou and Huihui were arguing, Mo Li's Observation Haki suddenly gave a warning, and he began to observe his surroundings.
The explosion magic clash had awakened the giant toad from its hibernation, which then surrounded Mo Li and his group, spewing corrosive slime from its mouth.
Wiz and Darkness also jogged over and shielded Mo Li behind them.
"Lord Mo Li, be careful, leave this to me..."
"No, Wiz, let's go. The outcome is already decided. There's no need to waste time and magic here."
