Chapter 16: Explosion *Bleep*

"Explosion!!"

As Megumin raised her head and finished the last chant, a huge amount of magic power emerged from the top of the wand and a huge magic circle emerged in the sky above.

The pure magic power passed through the magic circle was amplified, transformed and finally fully turned into the violent power of explosion magic. The world ending power blasted from the sky towards the forest.

Eath-shaking roars accompanied by fiery bright lights that appeared from the impact point. All monsters covered by the magic were completely wiped out in a flash, only leaving behind a huge crater, that continuously released terrifyingly high temperature.

The horned rabbits that had been pouring out of the forest avoided the crater in panic and escaped to the side.

"Is this...explosion magic?"

The magic circle in Sato Hikaru's eyes flashed. Although he was surprised, he was also extremely excited when he saw the new skill that appear in his system panel.

"Should I...give it a try?"

After personally witnessing the [explosion magic], Sato Hikaru finally understood Megumin's frenzied enthusiasm towards [explosion magic].

In the end…

No one could resist the art of explosion!

Deep breath…

Sato Hikaru, whose heart was unbearably itching, took a deep breath before raising his wand: "Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark..."

Sato Hikaru, who was releasing magic for the first time, gave up the convenient silent casting and chose to chant out the spell himself.

"What?!"

"Hey, hey! Mr. Sato!!?"

Megumin, who was lying on the ground with satisfied expression and Yunyun who had just recovered her hearing from the explosion.

Suddenly heard the familiar chant from Sato Hikaru's mouth. Both of them turned their head towards Sato Hikaru, who had his back towards them, in shock as violent magic fluctuations surged from his body.

At this time, as Sato Hikaru was completely immersed in the wonderful magic power, the rings on his fingers started to light up one by one.

[Magic increase – 200%]

[Range increase – 300%]

[Release increase – 300%]

[Fire element increase – 300%]

[Area of effect increase – 300%]

[Explosion increase – 500%]

[Multicasting – 500%]

[Speed increase…

"Descend from the abyss! "

After chanting the last part of the chant, under a series of enchantment, Sato Hikaru plunged the base of the staff into the ground, the top of the flower on top of the staff suddenly bloomed, and the huge magic power was released in one breath.

The boiling magic power, under the enchantment of the artifact, skyrocketed again. Just the air pressure emitted from the magic power was so strong that Yunyun could hardly stand upright and in the end could only lie down next to Megumin while holding on to the boulder below her so as not to be blown away.

In the sky above Sato Hikaru, a magic circle was formed similar to Megumin, as it began to convert the pure magic power into violent explosion magic.

However, the magic circle, under the enhancement of the artifact, suddenly expanded several times, and the magic beam emitted from it also expanded by a circle.

But this was not the end!

Below the magic power that had been transformed by the magic array, four magic arrays suddenly bloomed in succession and the magic energy that had expanded were expanded again for each magic circle it passed through.

When the surging magic power that had been transformed by five magic circle was gathered in the sky, the violent magic power even evaporated all the dark clouds. It was so dazzling that it was as if a second sun had just appeared in the sky.

At the center of the forest targeted by Sato Hikaru, a huge monster, as if aware of the danger, suddenly flew out.

"The culprit who drove all the weak monster here is you, right? Then take this move of mine!"

When the monster flew out of the forest, Sato Hikaru could see that it had an eagle head, lion body appearance. He knew that this figure belonged to the super dangerous monster [Griffin].

Sato Hikaru now also understood who caused the commotion in the forest.

He decisively waved his staff towards the griffin flying above the forest and roared with all his might – "Explosion!!"

The moment the magic was activated, the sun on the sky descended!

At this very moment, all the sound caused by the rippling air, flying sand and stones due to the surge of magic power, suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, the surrounding scene was also covered by a dazzling white light.

The scorching flames swept across several miles in a circle along with the airwaves.

When the light dissipated, only Sato Hikaru and a small area around him remained intact due to the protection of the [Super Magic Shield] on his body.

The rest of the ground had been completely burned into scorched earth.

The forest that was targeted by Sato Hikaru had completely disappeared.

The earth resembled a bowl that was dug out from the middle, the lower area had been burnt into crystals. Under the sunlight, they shone with a charming and colorful light.

"Ha...is this explosion magic?"

Seeing the effect of his own spell that could be said to have changed the terrain.

Sato Hikaru was so excited that his heart was beating like a drum, and his face was flushed a sickly red like blood due to the excitement.

All of this accumulated into a single word which Sato Hikaru said along with the turbid breath he exhaled.

"Nice!"

Knocking his staff on ground hard, Sato Hikaru who was still breathless turned to look at Megumin. His normally black eye was currently red like the eyes of the crimson demon clan.

Sato Hikaru looked at Megumin, who was speechless because of the shock of seeing a scene she had never imagined, for a long time before he finally gave Megumin a thumbs-up, while showing a bright smile.

"Your explosion magic was – awesome!"
