Chapter 18 - Explosion!

Written By Curiostyx

~[The Minion]~

—BAM~!*

The Minobster fell from the sky as he felt his face scrape against the solid rock floor, carving his facial pattern into the ground.

'Pff... Subarashi, my Minion! That was a very spectacular performance! ...And you're still alive, hooray!' His accursed Master cheered from the side.

The Minobster had tried to sneak up on one of the sleeping Geafrogs. A brutal kick that sent him flying to the dungeon sky was all that he managed to acquire.

The Geafrog he tried to sneak up on gave him a furious glare then got up to confront the Minobster.

'Go, Larry! I choose you!' Minion Trainer Unnamed has sent out Larry!

Unfortunately, the Minion's head was firmly embedded into the floor so he couldn't move.

With quick yet wide shuffles, the Geafrog made its way across the beach and approached the poor Minion.

Geafrog uses Frog Kick!

—BAM~!*

It was super-effective!!!

The Minobster was again sent flying into the air as a crashing stream of rainbow followed him from behind.

—CRASH~!*

Larry has fainted!!!

...Wait, take that back! Larry got back up! Let's go, Larry!!!

Beaten and bruised, the Minobster got back up as he shook in trepidation. Bluish-black marks covered his form, serving as proof of this legendary battle.

The Geafrog gave him a funny look, it sure didn't expect the Minobster to be so persistent.

'Larry! Believe in me who believes in you! Come one, you can do it, man!' His Master cheered through their mental connection.

Larry's field of vision was blurry and partially veiled, his right eye had been reduced to mush and his left couldn't see much. He could not see his surroundings clearly, much less his opponent.

'𝔇𝔒𝔇𝔊𝔈!' An order from his Master resounded through his mind, but Larry couldn't focus on what he was saying.

'I̴̥͒ ̵̻͗s̷͎̤̤͑ą̴̥̚i̴̟̇͑̆d̴̖̂̐͑ ̸̥̪͉̄̈́͝D̷̢͍̅̊O̸̦͖͊́̍͜D̸̪̪͂G̸͓̔E̸̢͖̙͊̿!̴̹͕͌' His Master's voice crept up to his Soul, but Larry's mind was in too much disarray to understand.

In his blurry vision, something resembling a leg came flying in his direction...

'𝐃𝐨𝐝𝐠𝐞.' An overwhelming sensation similar to when his Master cast that terrible and malignant Magic on him erupted in his bones, drowning his nervous System.

But this was different... It was...

Larry's legs unconsciously jumped to the side in phantom fright as an immense rush of agony clouded his senses.

—VOOSH~!*

The air crashed as the Geafrog performed its iconic legendary kick... Only to miss its target when he suddenly jumped away.

"Hn...?" The Geafrog grunted in annoyance as it looked down at the Minobster. What's with this little shit?

The Minobster got back up and he gave the Geafrog a defiant gaze. The Minion still suffered under the effects of Phantom Pain but instead of waning, the Minobster used it to fuel his body with overwhelming adrenaline.

"Croak! (Die!)" The Frog shouted before charging in the Minion's direction on all fours.

'Run... My direction.' His Master ordered through their link.

The Minion jumped to the side once more as he barely evaded the Geafrog's mad stampede. He then took a glance towards his Master and started zooming.

'Faster...' His Master stated. The sound of footsteps resounded behind him as the Geafrog rushed in his trail.

The Goddess's voice started blaring in his ears, but with the Phantom Pain and the Geafrog hot on his tail, he chose not to focus on that.

The Geafrog was much faster than Larry but it only took a few seconds to reach his Master's proximity. Though by then, the Minobster was already within biting distance of the Geafrog.

With the Geafrog behind him and the Master in front of him, they created a sort of straight-line formation...

'Subarashi, Larry... 𝐉𝐮𝐦𝐩.' His Master commanded in a brisk tone. Without any hesitation, the Minion leaped into the air as high as he could...

—CRACK~!*

The Geafrog's skull cracked as the form of a Rat-sized Fire Wyrm crashed into its head with an aura of pure heat enveloping him.

'Heretical Explosion~!'

—BOOM~!*

~[The Master Wyrm]~

An eruption of blood and gore filled the sky with a crimson hue, painting the surrounding rocks a bloody scarlet.

『You have slain ~Elroe Geafrog︱LV 2~. Experience Points awarded.』

『You have leveled up! You are now LV 5.』

『You have gained 200 Skill Points.』

The Wyrm moved his sore body as the bloodied remains of the Geafrog's brain covered him from snout to tail.

'Damn, that was a lot more painful than I imagined...' This new combo attack he called Heretical Explosion was like a sort of kamikaze maneuver.

By utilizing his total speed with the added power of Heat Cover, he would charge in the enemy's general direction whilst holding in a Fireball Breath in the back of his throat.

Heretical Attack gave him the ability to apply the Heresy Element to his attacks. So with a stroke of genius, a Fireball imbued with Soul Disrupting applications was born.

But the Geafrog obviously had Heat Nullification, so simply expelling the Heretical Fireball into its general direction would be rather inefficient.

Instead, the Wyrm would combine his Heretical Fire and Mad Dash into one by expelling out his Fireball at the last second, spawning the insane combo attack that is Heretical Explosion.

Oh, how it worked spectacularly.

Though which meant he had to also partially endure the explosion. Which he did, reducing his HP to single digits yet again.

'It was worth it though...' And Girls still wonder why they live longer...

"CROAK!" A loud croaking jolted him out of his stupor as he looked back.

'Oh right, there were others... Shit.' The other two Geafrogs who previously ignored the bout between the first Geafrog and his Minion strutted nearby, shocked and furious.

The Wyrm looked towards his Minion. He had actually fainted now...

'Life Exchange, do your magic!' The Wyrm shouted before facing his two new rivals.

Time to level-streak, baby.

The start of the week is always the funniest day. The new top 5 are always batshit insane stories that got lucky because they uploaded at midnight.

I want to be one of those guys, so where are my stones?
