After reading Megumin's adventurer card, Aqua realized that Megumin is indeed a powerful mage! Recruiting her is definitely a worthwhile investment!

Kazuma pondered for a moment, then ultimately decided to take her to the countryside to test Megumin's abilities!

After eating and drinking their fill, they returned to the plains, intending to seek revenge on the frogs they had encountered before!

[Megumin points her staff at the giant toad ahead: "Explosion magic is the strongest magic. Therefore, it takes a considerable amount of time to prepare before it can be used. Until I'm ready, please hold off that toad..."]

They say enemies are especially hostile when they meet, and Aqua, staff in hand, charged at the giant frog without a word!

"Kazuma, watch closely! Today I'll show you the power of a goddess...!!"

[Aqua took a running start and charged up in one fluid motion, golden light converging on her staff: "Sleep in trembling, Requiem of the Gods—!!"]

"The so-called Requiem of the Gods is the ultimate form of the goddess's love and sorrow; the opponent will only face certain death!"

Despite Aqua's impressive description, she was bitten by the giant frog again, with only her two legs hanging out.

"..." Everyone was numb at this point. When would this mentally challenged goddess learn her lesson?

Aqua truly lived up to her reputation as a top-tier decoy, successfully luring a giant frog... well, using her own body.

"Requiem for God," "Hit and you're dead"... It feels like every skill description for Aqua is like this. Did you really not add your own personal touches when describing her skills?

I don't think I've ever seen your skills deal any damage.

Seeking Encounters in the Dungeon World

Hestia looked flustered under Bell's probing gaze and quickly waved her hands in denial: "No...no, Bell, we're goddesses, not crazy women!!"

Aqua is capable of single-handedly diminishing the majesty of all the goddesses; no one else can do that.

Now Hestia feels that all the goddesses' reputations have been ruined, and she feels like she has a thorn in her side when she walks on the street, making her somewhat embarrassed to go out.

Faced with Hestia's explanation, Bell nodded thoughtfully: "Could it be that this giant frog is actually very strong! After all, it was able to kill the goddess twice on its own."

Aqua is, after all, a goddess, yet she was defeated twice by the giant frog without any resistance. This shows that the giant frog must be incredibly powerful!

Kazuma watched expressionlessly as Aqua was bitten: "As expected of a goddess, she's willing to step forward to buy time."

Just then… the air around Megumin was violently shaken by powerful magic, and a torrent of dark magic surged wildly into the staff in her hand!

"Blacker than black, darker than darkness itself, the time of awakening has come, the corrupt principles of the absurd church! Become an invisible distortion and manifest!"

[The sheer scale of the attack was so terrifying that even Kazuma, who was unfamiliar with magic, could tell just how astonishing the magic Megumin was about to use was.]

"The collapse of the fundamental desire of the power of nothingness, an unparalleled collapse! Burn the heavens and earth to ashes, descend from the abyss!"

Above the giant frog's head, a vast torrent of magical power, as boundless as the universe, was constantly gathering, vibrating and surging the air, creating a howling wind!

"This is the most powerful attack that humans can execute... This is the ultimate form of magic..."

"Explosion—"

[As Huihui waved her staff, everything in the direction she pointed erupted with dazzling light. With a blinding burst of intense light, magical energy, like a galaxy converging in the sky, rained down upon the giant frog below!]

"boom--!!!"】

[Amidst a deafening roar, a dazzling pillar of fire shot up from the ground, followed by a fierce blast of wind that nearly uprooted Kazuma!]

After the smoke and dust from the explosion subsided, a crater over twenty meters deep formed where the giant frog had been, along with surrounding red-hot rocks!

Chapter 439 There isn't a single normal person in the team!

"Holy crap!! I never expected that this seemingly chuunibyou (delusional) Huihui is actually a real great magician!"

"Humanity's strongest attack method, the ultimate form of magic... This giant frog probably never imagined in its life that a mere monster in a beginner village would encounter such an attack!"

Everyone stared in utter disbelief at the magic that resembled a nuclear bomb... They never expected that such unreliable recruitment conditions would actually lead to the recruitment of a reliable archmage!

Although the ultimate skill has a long cast time, its power is worth the time it takes to cast, and the lyrics are obviously very sophisticated!

Isn't this much more useful than that useless, mentally challenged goddess?

Type-Moon Fifth World War

Rin Tohsaka was dumbfounded. Had this giant frog committed murder and arson, or broken some heavenly law? It actually used a magical nuclear bomb to wipe out the area!

"Origin again, the collapse of the origin and all that? It's just killing a frog, does it have to be this exaggerated!"

Ilya felt a bit overwhelmed; this was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—it was just a slightly larger frog! It was unnecessary, really unnecessary.

Red A was filled with admiration for the giant frog: "The frog's life has been worthwhile. First, it withstood the supposedly fatal blow from Goddess Aqua, and then it endured this explosive magic..."

Shirou Emiya quietly reminded her, "Doesn't anyone care about Aqua...? She's right in the center of the blast radius!"

This thing is going to be terrible, and judging by its power and temperature, can Aqua even survive?!

Jobless Reincarnation World

"...Explosion!! 13——"

Rudeus struck the same pose as Megumin, but nothing happened, and he could only awkwardly and silently withdraw his arm.

"That shouldn't be the case! I read every single word of her strange magic incantation perfectly!"

After all, Megumin's magic is indeed quite attractive. Although the chanting is a bit cringeworthy, isn't that what magic is all about?

After several unsuccessful attempts, Rudy had no choice but to give up on the idea, but he still felt a little relieved... Kazuma had finally recruited a reliable teammate this time!

Be careful in the brave world

Lisda felt a sense of unease: "This kind of ultimate move to swat mosquitoes... has a strong sense of déjà vu."

She looked at Ryuguuin Seiya with suspicion. He was also someone who used his ultimate move to fight slimes. Could it be that Megumin was actually a very cautious person?

After all, what normal person would waste so much magic power to fight a frog in a beginner's village?!

Anyway, her intuition told her that this seemingly very powerful magician was probably not a decent person.

Kazuma stood before the deep pit, filled with awe: "Amazing! Is this magic?!"

Just then, perhaps awakened by the sounds and impacts of magic, another giant frog slowly crawled out from underground.

"Huihui, please leave for a moment!"

Kazuma turned around and froze, for Megumin had collapsed limply to the ground.

[Megumin lay on the ground, explaining in a weak and feeble voice, "My ultimate technique, Explosion Magic, consumes an enormous amount of magic power due to its immense strength!"]

"To put it bluntly, because I used magic beyond its limits, I'm now unable to move. Oh no, I'm going to be eaten... I'm sorry, please save me a little..."

[So there were two frogs, one in each mouth, stuck in a swallowing posture, and luckily, the frogs were unable to move because of it!]

Kazuma could only charge forward, sword in hand, shouting, "Don't get eaten!!"

[Thus, Kazuma finally managed to defeat the two frogs that Aqua and Megumin had single-handedly blocked, thus completing his mission of defeating five giant frogs within three days.]

"Didn't the explosion magic kill the frog? Why is Aqua still being carried by it?!"

"I apologize for thinking that Huihui was a very reliable great mage... She was just a big bait. It turns out that Kazuma's two teammates were just two monster-luring gods!"

The others were somewhat embarrassed. If they knew that the Explosion spell consumed a lot of power, then they shouldn't have used it! A simple fireball spell could have easily dealt with a few frogs.

From this perspective, Kazuma is actually quite strong. He took on four out of five frogs by himself, relying entirely on his own abilities.

Be careful in the brave world

"This giant frog is practically their team's nemesis..."

Ristarte covered her face with her hands. They had almost been wiped out by just a few frogs. At this rate of growth, when would they ever be able to defeat the Demon King?

The goddess isn't doing her job, and her mage teammates don't seem very reliable either. Can this combination really save the world?

Ryuguuin Seiya offered a professional assessment: "That's incredibly reckless. He didn't even leave himself a single bit of magic power."

He approves of Megumin's way of using her ultimate move to defeat the giant frog, since it's always good to be cautious, but he doesn't agree that Megumin doesn't retain any magic power at all.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been helpless when faced with the giant frogs that appeared later.

As the sun set, Kazuma carried the sticky Megumin on his back on the road back to town, while Aqua, covered in slime, cried and sobbed behind them.

[Megumin leaned on Kazuma's shoulder, sharing some knowledge that others didn't know: "A frog's insides may smell bad, but they're very warm."]

Kazuma sighed helplessly: "I don't want to know this kind of knowledge... From now on, except in emergencies, the use of explosion magic is prohibited! Please use other magic in the future."

Hearing Kazuma say this, Megumin, who was clinging to his back, tightened her grip on his shoulders: "I don't know how to use it. I only know how to use Explosion Magic! I don't know any other magic."

Kazuma thought he had misheard: "Really...?"

A moment of silence fell between Kazuma and Megumin; they simply stared at each other, the atmosphere thick with tension.

Aqua joined the conversation, somewhat puzzled: "If you can use explosion magic, then you should be able to use other magic too. For example, I first learned all the banquet performance skills!"

[Megumin started getting excited: "I only like Explosion Magic, even if I can only use it once a day, even if I collapse afterward, even so, I only love Explosion Magic!"]

Seeing this, Aqua excitedly praised, "That's fantastic! Although it's inefficient, it's all about pursuing romance. I'm touched by that attitude!"

Their thought processes clicked perfectly.

"Her strange knowledge has increased; she can even express her opinions inside a frog's body!"

"As expected of the idiot goddess Aqua, she learned the banquet performance skill in no time... But what's the use of that?! To put on a show for the Demon King when we're fighting him?!"

Now everyone clearly realized that none of Kazuma's team members were reliable; it turned out that only Kazuma was a normal person!

A multi-talented goddess, not only lacking combat power but also frequently dragging others down, a mage who is a human nuclear bomb... but she's just a nuclear bomb; once launched, she's useless.
