Problem Girls Strategy

Jiang Zao pulled out the silver-white magic wand from Huihui's chest, threw the void weapon to her, and took his own ancient magic scroll to study it carefully.

“Ohh! This texture and shape are so good. From now on, you will be called [True Silver Flash]!” Huihui hugged the void weapon named by her obsessively, rubbing her face on it.

The ancient magic scroll records an attack magic called [Dark Corrosion Thunder]. Simply put, it combines the two elements of thunder and darkness, changing the thunder element's only properties of explosion and high temperature to give it dark element properties such as erosion.

A very important point is also mentioned above. The biggest difference between ancient magic and modern magic is that ancient magic is not restricted by so many rules and regulations. It is full of variety and flexibility, and has extremely high requirements for the creativity of the master. This is the fundamental reason for the decline of ancient magic.

After all, a school that only looks at talent is definitely no match for a school that anyone can learn, and its decline is inevitable.

From this perspective, I don't need to look for any ancient magic scrolls anymore. Creating my own magic from scratch is the orthodoxy of the ancient magic school.

"Jiang Zao, let's go to the Gravel Desert to try out the power of the Void Weapons!" Huihui's eyes lit up with excitement. She could already imagine how magnificent the explosion magic would be when it was released.

But Jiang Zao only wanted to test his ancient magic, and he declined the question of being drained by the explosion magic: "Forget about testing the void weapon. I will be drained 100%. It's hard to say whether I can cast the explosion magic. Let's just test my ancient magic."

Kailu raised her hand at this time: "In fact, there is a magic that connects magic power, which can temporarily solve the problem of no magic power in your body."

"Really?"

"Well, that kind of magic is called [Magic Touch], which can connect the magic power in two people's bodies together. Great magicians will do this when they release super-large magic to ensure the stability of the magic power."

With Kailu's endorsement, Jiang Zao also became interested in using Huihui's void weapon to release explosive magic.

Or, try?

Chapter 243 This is our deafening combination skill

The originally planned trip to the Adventurer's Guild to accept a commission turned into Jiang Zao and Hui Hui going to the Gravel Desert to experiment with magic.

After the group arrived at the Gravel Desert, Jiang Zao put away the ancient magic scroll. During the two-hour journey, he thoroughly mastered the ancient attack magic [Dark Erosion Thunder].

With excitement in his heart, he took two steps forward and found a dead tree in his field of vision as his target. Then he raised his hand and aimed: "Dark Eclipse Thunder."

A magic circle composed of lightning and dark elements emerged with Jiang Zao's arm as the center, and then intertwined with each other. Pitch-black lightning shot out from his palm at an astonishing speed. The dead tree let out a teeth-grinding scream and exploded into flying wood chips, which melted like snowflakes as they fell.

"This is ancient magic. It can easily mix and release two elements." Kailu watched the whole process with wide eyes. She was amazed at the magic of ancient magic: "Are all ancient magicians geniuses who are proficient in all elements?"

"That should be the case. This scroll states that one of the most basic requirements for becoming an ancient magician is to be proficient in multiple elements."

Kailu then noticed something was wrong. She walked over to Jiang Zao, took the ancient magic scroll, opened it and looked at it: "These are all ancient characters. Can you understand them?"

"Of course." Jiang Zao's [Language Proficiency] skill can even communicate with elements and magic, so how could ancient characters stump him?

"Didn't you notice that as a person from another world, he has been using the common language of the continent of Astraea from the moment they met to filling out the guild application form..." Huihui finally found an opportunity to snatch Kael's job of complaining and vent to her.

"Because he communicates with us so naturally, I often forget that he is still from another world."

"really."

When Jiang Zao and his companions were discussing his language talent, he began to think about improving [Dark Corrosion Thunder]. Ancient magic did not have a fixed release process, and the essence lay in the fusion and manipulation of elements, which meant that ancient magic could be optimized in different directions.

[Dark Corrosion Thunder] is a single-target attack magic with impeccable power, but Jiang Zao is not satisfied with single attacks. As his only long-range attack magic at present, he must find a way to optimize his ability to attack groups.

The girls went from talking about language talents to going to ancient ruins. They guessed that Jiang Zao would be able to lead everyone to avoid all the traps and easily take away the treasure because he could understand the words inside.

A buzzing sound interrupted the conversation, and the four of them looked at Jiang Zao, the source of the sound.

The magic circles of thunder and darkness elements were beating in his palm at an extremely fast speed.

Jiang Zao jumped a few times to distance himself from the girls, raised his right hand and crushed the magic ring in his palm: "See the real thunder!"

Dozens of pitch-black lightning bolts struck the ground with him as the center, turning the nearby area into a hell of thunder. It was obvious that [Dark Erosion Thunder] had been successfully optimized and could release group attacks.

After cosplaying Misaka Mikoto, Jiang Zao came back refreshed and showed off: "Isn't this move of mine cool?"

"It's OK. It's quite powerful."

"The master is very handsome."

"Lightning is like chocolate..."

“Could it be that the scroll records two magic spells?” Huihui felt a little regretful. The two magic spells could be sold for two million Eris, but she just gave it up because of the void weapon.

No, I'm not here for the void weapons, but for the more gorgeous explosion magic!

"Just one. I just made a slightly improved version. Now that I have tried my magic, it's time to try your void weapon."

When Huihui heard this, she straightened her chest and said, "You attack... You draw your Void weapon."

"You wanted to shout breast-raid again, didn't you?"

“No, that’s not the case. Hurry up and stop talking so much.” Huihui became impatient and leaned forward again.

Under the girls' burning gazes, Jiang Zao drew out his void weapon, and Kael cast [Magic Touch] on him and Huihui to temporarily connect their magic.

"Cast an explosion spell for me!"

Hui Hui's words sounded a lot like "Girl, smile for me." Jiang Zao felt uncomfortable after hearing this. He wanted to finish his work as soon as possible, so he raised his weapon and began to chant a spell: "Blacker than black, darker than darkness... Wait!"

Jiang Zao suddenly stopped chanting and turned to look at Hui Hui: "Unlike Pekorim's void weapon, I can't cast explosion magic by myself. I must cooperate with you."

"There is such a cool thing!?" Huihui had been thinking about working with Jiang Zao to release explosive magic in the future. Now that she could cooperate directly, how could she refuse? She grabbed the magic wand and came to his side: "Let's start!"

"You chant, and I'll follow suit."

“No problem, why not just leave it all to me!” The unique eyes of the Crimson Demons emitted an eye-catching red light even in broad daylight. Huihui was so excited now. With the blessing of the void weapon, she could feel that the magic power in her body had doubled.

This time, it will be the most gorgeous explosion magic ever!

“My name is Megumin! I love explosion magic more than anyone else!”

As the declaration resounded through the sky, magic power gathered in front of the two magic wands like waves. The sun was burning, and the cloudless gravel desert welcomed dark clouds for the first time in history.

"A collapse that no one can reach.

Burning up all the heavens and earth,

Come down from the abyss!

......

Explosion! "

After the two and a half minute chant ended, the terrifying ball of magic light seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible big mouth in an instant.

The magic circle covering the sky stopped rotating at the same time. A thin beam of light like a red line penetrated the sky and continued to expand. Everything that came within the range was annihilated in the beam of light.

Jiang Zao looked at the explosive magic created by their joint efforts, which made him break out in a cold sweat as if a deadly sickle was placed on his neck. He had no time to say anything, and immediately stopped in front of everyone and continuously condensed an earth element barrier.

When the time stop ended, the earth element barrier was covered with cracks in the blink of an eye. Jiang Zao could only keep adding earth element barriers in front of him to protect everyone. The shock wave alone was so powerful that no one could imagine what would happen in the middle of the explosive magic explosion.

Jiang Zao didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the earth element barrier stopped breaking. He turned around to check on his companions, but he could only see their open mouths and could not hear any sound.

"Jiang Zao, our explosion magic is really powerful!"

"Master, are you okay?"

"It was really bad just now. I almost thought I was going to die."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"I regret letting you two test the power of void weapons."

The situation of everyone gesticulating, gesticulating and talking to themselves continued for a while, and only after their hearing gradually recovered did this ridiculous behavior of talking at cross purposes end.

Chapter 244: Stuffing Firecrackers in the Mouth

The explosion caused by the explosive magic made everyone lose their hearing instantly before they could react. Except for Jiang Zao who was working hard to create an earth element barrier at the front, the others also protected their companions in their own ways, except for Huihui, who could not do anything except open her mouth and move.

After dispersing the earth element barrier in front of them, everyone was able to see clearly the damage caused by this magic. The yellow-brown hill that was originally the target had long disappeared, and only a bottomless black pit was left in its place.

"We'd better seal this trick unless it's a last resort." Jiang Zao felt a little scared. If the target they chose was closer, they might not be able to remain intact in the aftermath of the explosion.

"Eh? Why did you seal it? Didn't you hear my cool spell and see my super cool explosion magic?"

"I don't want to lose my life because of something like this." Kailu was so scared that her tail hair fell off. It would be impossible for her to do it again. "Anyway, without my [Magic Touch], you can't release it together. Just give up this trick."

"I also think it's better to seal this move." Kokoro patted her chest with lingering fear: "It's really too scary."

Pekolim stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance: "Hey, look, there seems to be something in that pit."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a sharp giant claw with a shiny black glow slowly extending from the huge pit caused by the explosion magic, and piercing into the ground like cutting tofu.

A poisonous scorpion of astonishing size slowly crawled out of the deep pit. The hard shell that should have covered its entire body was covered with dense cracks, and even some parts exposed white muscle tissue. The shell on top had completely fallen off. Its black eyes were full of resentment, and the deadly tail stinger that it was proud of had disappeared along with most of its tail.

Kailu said in a trembling voice: "That, that seems to be a lord-level monster, the Sand Scorpion King."

"Come to think of it, I saw a request from the Adventurer's Guild to investigate the cause of the Sand Scorpion King's agitation."

As soon as Pekorim finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Megumin, who was lying on the ground and still complaining.

Jiang Zao couldn't hold it in anymore, he covered his face with his hands and sighed deeply: "I took Hui Hui all the way here to cast explosion magic, but it still caused trouble."

"You mean well but end up with a bad result. The Adventurer's Guild will understand you." Kailu suppressed her smile and patted Jiang Zao's shoulder to comfort him.

"That...Sand Scorpion King doesn't seem to be going to forgive us. It's already charging over here."

"what..."

Everyone heard what Pekolim said and saw the Sand Scorpion King rushing towards them fiercely.

"Hey, hey, hey! What should we do now? We don't have the strength to defeat lord-level monsters, right?"

"Don't panic, Kailu. We are not as fast as her anyway. We might as well fight it and find a chance to escape."

"Pekorim, do you really realize the current situation? That's a lord-level monster! Not an elite or boss-level one!" Kael said this, but without any hesitation in her hands, she immediately used [Green Explosion] to hit the leg of the Sand Scorpion King, trying to stop it from moving.

"Master, are we going to meet the enemy head-on?"

"The Sand Scorpion King looks like he was badly hurt by that explosion magic. Kokoro, cast support magic for everyone and keep an eye on Huihui. Pekolim and I will go and hold it back. Kailu, you will provide fire support from a distance. It would be best if we can defeat it. If not, you should evacuate first. I can catch up with you with Pekolim."

"Understood, Protection of Light!"

"Pekorim!"

"I know."

Pekolim turned around and asked Jiang Zao to draw out the void weapon, and then they rushed towards the Sand Scorpion King who was rushing towards them with a cloud of dust.

"Dark Eclipse Thunder!"

The power of ancient magic was indeed extraordinary. The pitch-black lightning blasted a fist-sized hole in the shell of the Sand Scorpion King. Although it was just like a tickle compared to its dozens of meters long body, it was at least able to penetrate its defense.

The Sand Scorpion King roared angrily when he saw that the two flies dared to approach him. In recent days, he was often disturbed by the noise of unknown explosions and couldn't sleep well. This time, he finally found a refreshing place and buried himself, disguised as a small hill, so that he could sleep soundly and eat the stupid adventurers and monsters passing by.

Who would have known that the monster was sleeping in a dream, and magic fell from the sky. Being in disguise and sleeping state, it was extremely slow to perceive magic, so it took in the explosive magic cast by Jiang Zao and Huihui.

The Sand Scorpion King became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He swung his huge pincers and smashed hard at the two "flies" that ran over. The air wave caused by the swing alone was enough to easily blow people away. The huge pincers hit the ground, raising a thick cloud of dust.

Under the accelerating effect of the support magic, Pekorim nimbly dodged the attack, and before the smoke and dust had dissipated, she stomped on the ground and leaped high, with magic power surging all over her body and the greatsword in her hand ready to strike.

On the other side, Jiang Zao, who noticed Pekorim's attack intention, cooperated with her to release [Dark Thunder]. Dozens of lightning struck the giant claws of the Sand Scorpion King to attract its attention.

The Sand Scorpion King fell into the trap and angrily swung his right pincer to drive away the fly that bit him and caused him some pain. After Jiang Zao succeeded in his attack, he immediately jumped away from the spot and perfectly avoided the deadly swing of the giant pincer.

If you get hit by this pair of giant pincers, you'll probably be half dead.

"Princess, attack!" Pekorim took the opportunity to attack the eyes of the Sand Scorpion King on its back with all her strength. She had experience in dealing with small scorpions, so she naturally knew where their eyes were.

The sword blade, with its magical power, blew the translucent eyeball apart. The Sand Scorpion King trembled all over in pain. Pekolim, who was standing on its back, staggered a few steps. The Sand Scorpion King, who was very sensitive to vibrations, immediately realized that the culprit who blinded his eyes was still on his back. The broken tail was raised high, spraying out dark green venom.

Fortunately, Kael used [Grimm Explosion] in time to blow the tail crooked, which gave Pekolim time to evacuate from the back.

At the same time, Jiang Zao activated the time stop: "The World!"

He quickly bypassed the giant pincers of the Sand Scorpion King, the magic ring vibrated rapidly on his arm, and six [Dark Thunders] struck its round, spiked mouthparts covered with coarse hair like spider legs.

After releasing the magic, Jiang Zao grasped the void weapon tightly with both hands, twisted his waist and chopped on the fragile joints inside the pliers, sparks flying immediately.

"Qiang!"

"This is too hard. If I don't use Pekorim's [Princess Assault], it seems that I can't cause any damage to this shell."

Jiang Zao's hands were numb from the recoil. Physical attacks didn't bring any benefit, so he stopped trying and held the void weapon in his hand as a BUFF item.

"Time begins to flow."

Before the Sand Scorpion King could figure out the situation, six special "firecrackers" were stuffed into his mouth. With a dull "bang", the firecrackers exploded in his mouth.
