Chapter 225

"Explosion!"

On the vast heath, a mushroom cloud rose, and a group of dangerous magic beasts were annihilated in the terrifying explosion.

"Mmm, that feels amazing~"

Megumin, who had already cast Explosion Magic many times, had a somewhat flushed complexion, and her body leaned onto Broly beside her.

As Broly supported her and channeled life energy converted from Qi into her body, Megumin's depleted magic power and physical strength rapidly recovered.

"Let's continue~"

The recovered Megumin said this.

"Hey, you standing there casting spells, don't your legs get sore? I've already lured that many waves of monster groups, I'm exhausted!"

Darkness hurriedly called a halt.

"Doesn't Broly help you recharge and recover your condition?"

Megumin was confused.

"Even with the beating-recharge recovery I'm tired, Broly's Qi only restores my vitality, but the muscle strain on my body is still there, and Aqua didn't come out with us to grind levels."

"Alright."

Megumin was somewhat disappointed, but still accepted that today's level grinding had reached the time to end.

At this time, more than half a month had passed since Megumin decided to bow to reality.

"How can I make you happy?"

At that time, after finishing a bath, Broly asked her just like that.

At that time, Megumin thought happiness referred to that pa-pa thing between men and women.

After a reminder, she learned that Broly would fulfill some wishes of his future wife.

Of course, calling it desire or ambition works too.

And Megumin's answer, naturally, had no change whatsoever.

"My dream is to become the world's number one Arch Wizard, and I'm sure I'll feel incomparable happiness once this wish comes true!"

"Good, then I'll make you the world's number one Arch Wizard."

After Megumin stated her happiness condition, Broly directly promised it.

"As long as you take out the other Arch Wizards ranked ahead of you, Megumin, you'll be the world's number one Arch Wizard..."

Although the boy's subsequent proposal made one sweat with embarrassment, fortunately the method of realizing her wish got back on track after discussion.

In summary, it is to continuously raise the level of Explosion Magic, which includes but is not limited to grinding levels by killing monsters to obtain skill points.

Casting Explosion Magic multiple times to lower the skill points required for the next level of Explosion Magic, and raising one's own magic power cap in the process of repeatedly depleting and recovering magic power.

Of course, this is for internal improvement; there is also external improvement, for example carrying a pile of high-grade mana potions and mana ore minerals.

Or through pay-to-win methods, buying precious skill potions to drink like water, spending a fortune to forge a set of top-tier equipment that greatly reduces magic consumption.

However, the latter is currently stuck in a somewhat stalled state because the materials for the top-tier equipment haven't been fully collected yet.

"An Explosion Magic that can only be used once is a chicken rib, but if you can use Explosion Magic multiple times like an ordinary Fireball, then Megumin, you'll be the world's number one Arch Wizard."

Wiz said this, and Megumin fully agreed; she was like being kept — oh no, the fact is she is being kept, obtaining Broly's massive resources accumulated in this world, a massive investment in her personal dream.

All Megumin needs to do every day is be taken to a place in the wild, and at zero risk cast her Explosion Magic at the dangerous magic beast groups lured by Darkness.

"Given your record of repeated back-and-forth jumping, I need you to sign this God's Contract witnessed by the Great Water Goddess."

"Let me see, I (Megumin) myself swear, I will voluntarily become a slave of love, exchanging all my love for Broly's massive resource investment in me.

Once I (Megumin) myself become the world's number one Arch Wizard, if I don't want to fulfill the responsibility of becoming Broly's wife.

Then Broly and his other wives and master will have the right to demand a hundredfold return of the resources previously invested in me.

If there are no resources for compensation, the contract violator will become the other party's slave, unable to resist any of the contract master's orders. Contract master side first priority Broly, Aqua, second priority Darkness, Wiz, Yunyun, TBD blank space, note indeterminate number of other wives' names.

Note 1: During the contract period, if the contractor commits unchaste acts, such as falling for the opposite sex, it will be considered a violation of contract content, and they will likewise become the contract master's slave.

Note 2: Contracts carry risks, sign with caution, the Great Water Goddess Aqua warmly reminds you~"

"No, I even scrubbed his back, do I still need to sign a contract this strict to the point of terror?"

"Yes, of course yes, you don't know how much money Broly is preparing to invest in you, it's enough for me to buy how many wine cellars of fine wine!"

When Aqua learned the amount of money her own disciple was preparing to invest in Megumin to realize her dream, she was extremely jealous.

"Besides, if you don't even dare sign this kind of contract, do you still dare say your future self will definitely become my cute disciple's wife?"

Just like that, under Aqua's jealousy, Megumin signed a contract with terrifying breach consequences, in exchange for this unparalleled resource investment.

"Broly, we have news on what we wanted to inquire about."

Returning home, the Lich lady spoke a piece of good news.

The next day, on the desert wasteland west of Axel, a gigantic terrifying golem like a spider was wandering somewhat aimlessly in this desert zone where no life exists.

"Mobile Fortress Destroyer, the people who made this thing were from an Ancient Kingdom, but for some reason it destroyed the Ancient Kingdom that manufactured it, and for over a hundred years it has never ceased its activity in this world.

It once destroyed several cities it passed through during movement; it is a golem weapon of calamity-class in this world. According to some ancient documents, it should be loaded with the legendary Corona Stone."

"In other words, as long as I knock down that spider-like thing, we can get the materials to make Megumin's magic-consumption-reducing equipment, right?"

"Should be."

After Wiz confirmed, Broly flew directly at the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, and this thing truly is a calamity-class nation-destroying weapon, but unfortunately it ran into a Saiyan who can destroy stars.

Aqua didn't even use a dispel on the defensive magic on the fortress; Broly just used his fists and feet to dismantle the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.

The Mobile Fortress without its eight giant legs is about the same as a crab with all its legs ripped off, just creaking and swaying its broken leg mechanical joints on the ground.

Everyone entered inside, and right there discovered the remains of the Mobile Fortress's makers, as well as their personal notes.

Through Aqua reading the notes and narrating, everyone learned the story of a research old geezer who proposed an absurd project to swindle funding.

"I originally just wanted to swindle funding and continue a leisurely life in this kingdom, but who knew they actually gave me Corona Stones.

To avoid being labeled a funding scammer and blamed by the king, I could only bite the bullet and use my capability to create this big guy.

On the day it was created, this thing went rampant directly, and although this thing was created by me, I myself also didn't know why it went rampant.

Thus, the kingdom I was mixing days in was destroyed, and I also, because I couldn't get down from on top of this, after the food here ran out, could only wait for death..."

Everyone: "..."

"Of course, for the romance of giant machines, I wrote a self-destruct program in this thing's control system; as long as someone makes this thing unable to act, this thing will enter a self-destruct countdown..."

"Bang~"

Explosion, of course there was no explosion; Broly merely demolished the Mobile Fortress Destroyer's legs, and this giant golem itself hasn't stopped acting, and even outside there are some small golems, starting to repair the Mobile Fortress's leg stumps.

"Aqua, don't you have any way? This thing's creator is a reincarnator you sent to this world, right?"

Darkness asked.

"You ask me, what can I do? The Golden Finger capability was assigned to me by the Celestial Realm; I myself don't know the principle of the capability's realization."

In the end, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer still exploded; only before the explosion, Megumin's father Piao Sanlang's advice was adopted.

Using Anti-Magic Material, from a large piece of Core Energy Corona Stone, they took down Corona Stone that hadn't been engraved with self-destruct magic patterns.

And this kind of dangerous work, besides people who can use teleportation magic being able to do it, only Broly this Saiyan who completely ignores Corona Stone self-destruct, producing terrifying explosive power threat, could do it.

"Total six pieces of Corona Stone materials; this certainly can make top-tier mana consumption reduction equipment; however, there should still be leftover Corona Stone; Broly, what do you still need them made into?"
