Chapter 225 Mobile Fortress Destroyer
"Explosion!"
On the vast wasteland, a mushroom cloud rose, and a group of dangerous monsters were reduced to ashes in a terrifying explosion.
"Ah, that feels so good~"
Having already unleashed several burst spells, Megumin's face was flushed, and she leaned against Broly beside her.
As Broly supported her and channeled the life energy transformed from Qi into her body, Megumin's depleted magic and physical strength were quickly restored.
Let's continue~
"That's what Huihui said after she recovered."
"Hey, stop standing there casting spells, aren't your legs getting tired? I've already lured so many waves of monsters, I'm exhausted!"
Darkness quickly called for a stop.
"Isn't Broly there to cheer you up and help you get back on track?"
Huihui was puzzled.
"Even those who get boosted and restored to their strength are tired. Broly's boost only restored my energy, but I still suffered from muscle strain. And Aqua didn't come out to level up with us."
"All right."
Huihui was a little disappointed, but she still accepted today's leveling up and it was time to end it.
At this point, more than half a month had passed since Huihui decided to give in to reality.
. . . .
"What can make you happy?"
Broly asked her that question after he finished showering.
At that time, Huihui thought happiness meant the sexual act between men and women.
Only after being reminded did I realize that Broly would grant some of his future wife's wishes.
Of course, you could also say it's desire or ambition.
Huihui's answer, unsurprisingly, remained unchanged.
"My dream is to become the world's number one explosion mage. I know I'll feel incredibly happy once I achieve this!"
"Alright, then I'll make you the world's number one explosion mage."
After Megumin stated her conditions for happiness, Broly immediately agreed.
"If you can defeat all the other Explosion Mages ranked ahead of you, Megumin, you'll be the world's number one Explosion Mage..."
Although the boy's suggestion was embarrassing, fortunately, the way to fulfill her wish was on the right track after discussion.
In short, it involves continuously increasing the level of the Explosive Magic, which includes, but is not limited to, gaining skill points by defeating monsters and leveling up.
By repeatedly casting Explosion spells, the skill points required to upgrade Explosion spells to the next level are reduced, and the maximum mana is increased as mana is constantly depleted and replenished.
Of course, this refers to improvements both internally and externally, such as carrying a bunch of high-level mana potions and mana ore.
Alternatively, one can spend real money to buy rare skill potions and consume them like water, or invest heavily in creating a set of top-tier equipment that significantly reduces mana consumption.
However, the latter is currently stuck in a state of being somewhat delayed because it has not yet collected all the materials for top-tier equipment.
"Explosion magic that can only be used once is useless, but if you can use explosion magic like a regular fireball multiple times, then Megumin, you will be the world's number one explosion mage."
Wiz said this, and Megumin agreed wholeheartedly. She was like a kept woman—no, in fact, she was kept—and received the vast resources Broly had accumulated in this world, which were heavily invested in her personal dreams.
Every day, all Huihui had to do was be taken to a place in the wild and, without any risk, unleash her explosive magic on the dangerous monsters that Darkness had lured there.
"Given your history of fickle behavior, I need you to sign this divine covenant, witnessed by the great water goddess."
"Let me see. I (Meihui) swear that I will voluntarily become a slave to love, exchanging all my love for Broly's massive investment of his resources."
Once I (Huihui) become the world's number one Explosion Mage, I have no intention of fulfilling my responsibility as Broly's wife.
Nabroli and his other wives and mentors will have the right to demand from me a hundredfold the amount of resources I previously invested in myself.
Without resource compensation, the breacher of the contract will become a slave to the other party, unable to resist any command from the contract master.
The first priority of the contracting party is Broly and Aqua, the second priority is Darkness, Wiz, Yuuyu, and the blank space is pending. Other wives with an indefinite number of names are noted in the remarks.
Note 1: During the contract period, if the contractee engages in unchaste behavior, such as developing feelings for other members of the opposite sex, it will be considered a breach of the contract, and the contractee will also become the slave of the contract master.
Note 2: Contracts involve risks, please sign with caution. A gentle reminder from the great water goddess Aqua!
"No, I already gave him a full bath, did I really need to sign such a terrifyingly harsh contract?"
"Use it, of course I'll use it! You have no idea how much money Broly is prepared to invest in you—enough to buy so many cellars of fine wine!"
When Aqua learned that her disciple was planning to invest the amount of money in Megumin to help her realize her dream, she was extremely jealous.
"Furthermore, if you don't even dare to sign this kind of contract, do you dare to say that you will definitely become the wife of my lovely disciple in the future?"
Thus, driven by Aqua's jealousy, Megumin signed a contract with terrifying consequences for breach of contract in exchange for this unparalleled resource investment.
. . . .
"Broly, we have news about what we're looking for."
Back home, Miss Lich delivered some good news.
. . . .
The following day, in the desert wasteland west of Axel, a huge, spider-like terrifying golem wandered aimlessly in this lifeless desert region.
"The Mobile Fortress Destroyer was made by people from the Ancient Kingdom, but somehow it destroyed the Ancient Kingdom that made it and has been active in this world for hundreds of years."
Having destroyed several cities along its path, it is a world-class golem weapon, a scourge of nature. According to some ancient documents, it should be equipped with the legendary corona stone.
"In other words, if I can defeat that spider-like thing, we'll be able to get the materials to make the magic-reducing equipment for Megumin, right?"
"That should be true."
After Wiz confirmed it, Broly flew directly to the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, which was indeed a cataclysmic weapon capable of destroying nations, but unfortunately it encountered a Saiyan capable of destroying planets.
Aqua didn't even use any spells to break the defensive magic on the fortress; Broly just used his fists and feet to dismantle the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.
Without its eight giant legs, the mobile fortress is much like a crab with all its legs removed, just creaking and rattling its broken leg mechanical interfaces on the ground.
The group went inside and discovered the remains of the person who created the mobile fortress, as well as the person's personal notes.
Through Aqua's recounting of reviewing the notes, the group learned the story of an old researcher who proposed an outrageous project to swindle funding.
"I originally just wanted to scam funding and continue my leisurely life in this kingdom, but who knew they would actually bring me a corona stone."
In order to avoid being seen as a fraudster and being reprimanded by the king, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and use my abilities to create this behemoth.
The day it was made, this thing went berserk, and although I made it, I don't know why it went berserk.
And so, my kingdom where I spent my days was destroyed, and because I couldn't get down from there, after all the food I had was used up, I could only wait to die...
Everyone: "..."
"Of course, for the sake of the romance of giant machines, I wrote a self-destruct program into this thing's control system. As long as someone disables this thing, it will enter a self-destruct countdown..."
"Bang!"
There was no explosion, of course. Broly merely dismantled the leg of the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, and the giant golem itself had not yet stopped moving. There were even some smaller golems outside, beginning to repair the severed leg of the Mobile Fortress.
"Aqua, don't you have any ideas? The creator of this thing was a reincarnated person you sent to this world, wasn't he?"
"Darkness asked."
"You ask me what I can do? The cheat ability was given to me by the heavens, and I don't know the principle behind how the ability works."
In the end, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer still exploded, but before the explosion, it followed the advice of Megumin's father, Hyōzaburō.
Using anti-magic materials, the corona stone that was not engraved with self-destruct magic patterns was removed from a large piece of core energy corona stone.
Such a dangerous job could only be done by someone who could use teleportation magic, or by a Saiyan like Broly who completely disregarded the threat of the Corona Stone's self-destruction and the resulting terrifying explosive power.
"There are six sets of Corona Stone materials in total. This should be enough to craft top-tier mana-reducing equipment. However, there should be some Corona Stones left over. Broly, what else do you need them to be made into?"
