"Gulp~"
Benimaru, Shion, Souei, and the other Ogre Clan members couldn't help but gulp.
They stared blankly at the apocalyptic scene unfolding in the sky, momentarily forgetting their battle with the Insect Monsters.
Fortunately, the Insect Monsters had already retreated.
Even brainless monsters understood the imminent danger at this moment.
They were returning to their nest, using swarm tactics to form walls of insects above it, attempting to block the impending heavenly punishment.
"Get away from the nest, quickly!"
It was then that Rin's voice once again echoed in the ears of the Ogre Clan.
This time, they didn't hesitate in the slightest.
Each of them wished they had an extra leg, running with all their might away from the nest, which was locked onto by countless magic circles.
Ogerpon smacked away an Insect Monster that tried to entangle her, then followed the footsteps of the Ogre Clan.
As for Rin...
He was desperately controlling the Explosion Magic, slowing its descent to give the Ogre Clan and Ogerpon more time to get away from the center of the explosion.
"Hmm?"
At the same time, somewhere in the Great Jura Forest, a young woman with beautiful green hair opened her eyes.
"The spirits in the forest are afraid..."
She instinctively looked in a certain direction in the forest. "What happened?"
There, various elemental spirits were frantically converging on a certain spot.
The young woman's name was Treyni, a high-ranking race, a Dryad, who guarded the forest.
"Magic?"
As the embodiment of this forest, Treyni could clearly sense every plant and tree here and receive information feedback from them.
However, this time, Treyni was utterly bewildered.
Chaotic.
An unprecedented clamor.
The trees and flowers in the forest were like they had gone mad, chattering incessantly.
One said, "The forest is going to be destroyed," and another said, "It's a catastrophe, so scary."
For a moment, Treyni couldn't extract a complete answer from it.
The only thing she could be sure of was that the culprit causing all this was a type of magic she had never seen before.
"What kind of magic can draw so many elements?"
Treyni no longer hesitated, immediately casting the Dryad's teleportation, her body dissolving into specks of light.
"This is..."
When Treyni reformed her body, what greeted her eyes was the towering magic circle tower reaching into the clouds.
Hundreds of thousands of magic circles completely stunned Treyni.
"What?"
It wasn't that she hadn't seen powerful magic before.
But what kind of magic could be this complex?
Other people's magic circles were adorned with patterns.
But good heavens, this individual directly used magic circles to arrange complex patterns.
"Who is casting such terrifying magic?"
Treyni quickly locked onto Rin, who was standing on a tree, controlling the magic to prevent it from going out of control.
"Human?"
"No, that's not right."
Treyni noticed Rin's eyes, those golden pupils, which humans could not possess. "A hybrid? A hybrid of human and demon, and more inclined towards the demon side."
She did not define Rin as a destroyer of the forest.
In fact, compared to Rin, those Insect Monsters that had recently appeared from who knows where were the real dirty things that needed to be eliminated.
And now, the target of Rin's attack was precisely the Insect Monsters, which the Dryads had defined as "bad guys."
In that case, Treyni had even less reason to stop Rin.
"Have they all retreated?"
"Ponii!"
Ogerpon appeared beside Rin, reporting the Ogre Clan's location to him.
"Hmm, thank you, Ogerpon."
"Now..."
Seeing that Ogerpon had returned, Rin began to release his control over the Explosion Magic. "Let's watch a grand fireworks display."
[Highest-Tier Explosion Magic · Explosion!]
"Whoosh!"
When Rin's hand fell, heaven and earth fell silent.
The forest, the sky, the earth, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees all fell into a deathly stillness at this moment.
Colors were stripped away, leaving only boundless blankness and nothingness, and an unimaginable, profound depth capable of overturning everything.
"Boom~"
A colossal mushroom cloud rose in the distance, and everything within a one-kilometer radius, centered on the insect nest, was instantly vaporized.
The earth trembled as if the sky were falling, and terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions.
Whether it was the armed nation of Dwargon to the north or the Sorcery Dynasty of Sarion to the south, both soon felt the vibrations emanating from the Great Jura Forest.
For a time, high-ranking officials from various countries rushed to inform each other, and the news quickly reached the Dwarf King and the Queen of Sarion.
However, Rin at this moment was clearly unaware of the immense upheaval his attack had caused.
He was currently staring intently at the insect nest in the distance.
Those layers of insect walls had no effect at all.
Facing such an apocalyptic scene, the Insect Monsters could only be evaporated by the Explosion Magic amidst their roars.
Rin didn't know what the situation was like down there.
But after such a magical bombardment, the Insect Monsters would surely be severely wounded. Those below C-rank wouldn't even have the ability to resist, turning into ashes.
And with C-rank vitality, even if they survived the Explosion Magic, they would only have one breath left.
Only those Insect Monsters that reached B-rank, or even B-rank, could survive.
Of course, even B-rank monsters would be severely wounded, their strength reduced to less than one-tenth.
Ogerpon, standing in front of Rin and blocking the aftermath for him, her two eyes sparkled, almost writing "adoration" on her face.
"Indeed..."
Rin was also greatly shocked by the attack he had unleashed. "As expected of Konosuba's strongest Explosion Magic. It truly lives up to its reputation."
For some reason, Rin somewhat understood Megumin.
There was nothing that a single Explosion Magic couldn't solve.
If there was, then another one!
But my Explosion Magic seems very different from Megumin's.
This could even be considered another type of magic, right?
Compared to the Explosion Magic Megumin cast in the Konosuba World, the one cast by Rin was even more terrifying.
The explosion center alone reached 1.2 kilometers.
As for the affected area, it reached the size of a large city in the Cardinal World's human nations.
Undoubtedly, if this magic landed in a human nation...
The result would be no less than directly wiping a city and the tens or hundreds of thousands of people living in it off the map.
