It has become a tradition in the team to lose control at critical moments.
Needless to say, Aqua and the others, even Kobayashi had his moments when things went wrong, but he didn't expect that this time it would be Sato Kazuma.
In fact, it should be considered as getting carried away.
“Whoaaaah——————”
Looking at the source of the pollution, Aqua yelled and ran over quickly. Not caring that his hand was burned again, he inserted it directly.
"Purify, purify, purify...!"
"No, that's not possible, Lady Aqua! There is part of Mr. Hans's body in there, and it is a completely different level from the previous pollution."
Wiz's advice had no effect.
"It hurts! It's so hot! The last source is going to be contaminated, Xiaolin, hurry up and think of a solution!"
"Light of Saber!"
Hearing Aqua yell for help while enduring the pain, Kobayashi quickly used light magic to cut off the contaminated pipeline, temporarily saving part of the hot spring, and the cut pipeline could be completely repaired without any use.
When everyone took a breath, there was a crackling sound behind them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hans actually completed his transformation and was twice as big as before, swelling to the size of a mansion!
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh----"
Sato Kazuma's voice became shrill.
Rao is a bastard man who has always thought that big is good and perfect. After seeing Hans turn into a slime, he had to wonder if he had a phobia of giants and would he only look for girls with small breasts in the future. Bar?
"Mr. Kazuma, get out of the way!"
"Danger, Kazuma!"
"What are you looking around for?"
While his thoughts were wandering, the shouts of other people reached his ears. After waking up, he quickly ran away.
The huge slime, which had completely lost its human form and became as round as gummy, swallowed the nearby trees one after another and absorbed it into the body.
"It's over, Hans is getting serious!"
Sato Kazuma and others screamed and ran away, running to avoid being swallowed by Hans.
"Wiz, find a way to deal with that guy! Use the magic you used to freeze him just now, and quickly use that move to kill him!"
"If I use the magic just now, my magic power is not enough to completely freeze Mr. Hans who has grown so big! You must give me some magic power!"
When Lich Girl said this, the first thing Sato Kazuma thought of was Xiaolin.
But no.
Kobayashi's magic power is tainted with Aqua's aura. Instead of strengthening Wiz, it will cause the Lich Girl to have adverse reactions.
From this point of view, the only choice is to sacrifice the little Lolita.
"Megumin, I have to ask you to be the sacrifice this time! My magic power is not enough at all, and Wiz will have a stomachache if he absorbs the magic power of Aqua and Kobayashi-senpai!"
"Me? I don't want it! If you want to suck my magic power, you might as well let me use explosion magic to blow that guy away!"
"Don't do that, the whole mountain will be polluted!"
Megumin's words made Aqua yell.
Damn, selfish little loli!
Sato Kazuma turned to look at Xiaolin and asked, "Senior, can't you use ice magic?"
"Basically speaking, it won't work. Just like Megumin's explosion magic, the power is different depending on who uses it. With my current ability, it can't compare to Wiz's magical attainments."
This is also the reason why he didn't take action.
I'm not good at ice magic in the first place, let alone the [poor imitation] I copied is a weakened version.
"Hey, Darkness, what are you doing?... Darkness?!"
Just when everyone was about to run away like before, the perverted female knight silently faced the enemy.
Shouldn't you shout "What a perfect slime, it's amazing!" and then rush up to her regardless, otherwise you'd really have to kick her away!
But Darkness silently pointed to the source.
The position pointed at was Aqua, who was watching Hans approaching, but still kept her hand in the source while crying, with no intention of running away.
"Wow ah ah ah - it hurts! It's so hot! ah ah ah -"
"Idiot, what are you doing! Don't worry about that kind of thing, hurry up and get out of the way!"
"But! But! If we can't defend this place, what will my followers do?"
Aqua refused to run away.
Xiao Lin and Liu Zi didn't know when they had come to her side. They had no intention of running away with the stupid goddess, but instead protected her behind them.
The same goes for Darkness, Wiz, Megumin and Yunyu who followed.
"Damn it! You guys...!"
Sato Kazuma gritted his teeth.
He was about to yell, but suddenly realized something.
…Wait, that’s not right!
The melee just now made him almost forget. Didn't Senior Xiaolin say that there is a way to solve the current situation? What he is doing now is just trying to find something to do for the stupid goddess.
And if Kobayashi-senpai doesn't take action, he may not only want to find something for the idiot Aqua to do, but also may want to test others, so he must perform well.
If that's the case, then you're still afraid of a hammer!
It's better to run over to help and take the opportunity to stand out and impress the rest of the team.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that I should be such a scumbag, and I have a small calculation in my mind.
It's like running in front of everyone for a show.
"Okay! I'll stay with you until the end!"
"Aren't you going to run away, Kazuma? It's really not your style."
"Don't think I'm so miserable!"
...If you don't realize the original intention of Kobayashi-senpai.
Look, you must perform well.
Xiaolin also said: "That is really a big help. If Sato-kun turns around and runs away, I really don't know what to do. After all, even I can't deal with the existence that restrains me."
"……Huh?"
Hearing this, the scumbag Kazuma immediately became unconfident: "Senior Xiaolin, you should have a way to solve the current situation, right?"
"Uh...hehe."
"There must be a way, I mean there really is a way! Senior Xiaolin, why are you smiling like that! Which side are you on?!"
Damn it, it seems that the cleverness was mistaken for the cleverness!
Sato Kazuma, who couldn't control it, suddenly felt uneasy. After all, even if there was only a 10% chance, he could foresee the whole team being wiped out.
My head is getting bigger!
"Kazuma, hurry up and use your crooked brain to find a solution!"
"You guy, what do you mean by a crooked brain?"
When asked by his companions, Sato Kazuma's face turned livid. Could it be that he wanted to test my commanding ability? Or was it simply that he had no other choice? Was it a real danger or a fake one?
He couldn't tell the difference, really couldn't tell the difference!
"I know, I know! Just go up! Just kill this shit slime!"
A violent scumbag driven mad finds the key to the solution.
"First of all, Senior Xiaolin, can your ice magic delay Hans?"
"That's okay."
"Very good! Then Megumin, your job is to give the boss the final blow! When you are ready to use magic, just wait beside them!"
After giving instructions to the little loli.
Sato Kazuma said again: "Miss Liuzi, to prevent the scattered bodies from contaminating the mountain later, please intercept them all!"
"Okay, Lord Sato."
At Xiaolin's signal, the doll girl nodded in agreement.
"Then...the battle begins!"
Sato Kazuma rushed towards Hans.
Liu Zi saw this and asked in confusion: "Master Xiaolin, what do you want Master Sato to do?"
"Be a bait." Xiaolin explained: "If you want to make Hans, who only has instinct, be obedient, you need a bait, and the best person in the team to take on this task is Sato Kazuma."
The facts are exactly as he said.
The huge black jelly-like object squirmed like slime, not only devouring trees, but also greedily sucking in nearby earth and rocks.
Hans, who has released his human form, can now be said to act almost solely on instinct.
He discovered this just now.
Hans did not take the initiative to attack them, but slowly moved towards the source while absorbing the surrounding things.
Xiaolin's freezing magic can delay it for a while, but it will eventually reach the source. Besides, Hans was already quite close to the source of Aqua's location, and he couldn't use explosion magic at such a distance.
It would be fine if Aqua was willing to give up and escape, but this guy was usually so timid but showed her perseverance when it was unnecessary.
That's why now he has to act as bait.
"Aqua-sama, it's better to retreat now. If anything happens to Aqua-sama, the people of the Axis Order will be even more sad!"
"No! If I can't protect those children now, how will I face them? What's the point of my existence?"
Wiz's persuasion was of no use, the stupid goddess couldn't listen.
Kazuma Sato successfully attracted Hans' attention.
Relying on the souvenirs bought in the past two days.
Of course, to successfully attract the giant slime, his specialties were not enough, so he used all the specialties of the team.
Hot spring steamed buns, meat buns, etc.
Overjoyed, Hans followed the food he threw.
Slime prefers high-protein and high-calorie foods to rocks and trees.
...except soap.
Even though it was edible, Hans avoided it.
I just don’t know if it’s because of the sacred aura inside, or the disgust engraved in my subconscious.
"Okay! That's it!"
Sato Kazuma clenched his fists.
Next, we only need to lure it into a big pit, let Megumin use explosion magic, and Liu Zi and Wiz intercept the scattered fragments to prevent them from contaminating the entire mountain. The mission is completed!
By the way——!
Magic doesn't have much effect, physical attacks are ineffective, you will be poisoned and die if you touch it, and it will pollute the surrounding area if you knock it down.
Why do you have to deal with such a troublesome guy?
Where's the promised happy hot spring?
"Kazuma! It's OK!"
Megumin took off her blindfold and said so, her red eyes shining brightly.
Hans, who had already eaten up all the local specialties, turned to face them either to find new prey or to follow his remaining rationality.
"As expected, isn't it enough...Okay, it's my turn next!"
He thought he could escape the fate of being used as a bait.
Since you can't escape, let's make a grand exit!
"Hey, big guy, here!"
Kazuma Sato shouted at the giant slime that only had instinct, and then jumped into a big pit!
"It's now!"
He closed his eyes and prepared to be devoured by Hans.
But there was no burning pain, instead there was a cold breath.
Ice magic?
Looking towards his companions in doubt, he only saw Wiz and Yoyo standing close together, magic being released from their clasped hands.
Yes, I actually forgot about Youyou!
Sato Kazuma patted his head.
Besides Megumin, isn’t there also Yuyou!
Just when he felt he was stable, the giant Slime Hans, who was frozen into an iceberg, suddenly fell down and smashed him into the ground.
Instead of being eaten by a slime, he was crushed to death by an iceberg.
The moment before his consciousness disappeared, Sato Kazuma couldn't help but think: Since there is ice-attribute magic, what does his sacrifice mean? If given a choice, who would die?
What followed was a violent explosion of magic.
"—Explosion!"
Sato Kazuma, who was already dead, was hit hard again.
Could it be that all the corpses were blown to ashes?
In the light and heat, everyone in the team silently prayed for the dedicated Sato Kazuma, hoping that others...the corpse would be okay.
After Hans was blown apart, the frozen fragments were gathered together.
Aqua is responsible for the aftermath.
The stupid goddess, filled with hatred and displeasure, walked into the pit with her head lowered and her fists clenched.
Just then, the iceberg broke.
A small slime squirmed out of it.
After all, he is a cadre of the Demon King's Army, and he can still retain a little bit of his body despite being hit hard one after another.
The stupid goddess didn't relax proudly, she must have noticed Hans' aura.
"Hmph... you are indeed very powerful, but I am the one who laughs last! As long as I eat you, I will recover immediately, and then I will destroy this town!"
Hans was still shouting.
Aqua approached him regardless, and then whispered: "I can use it. I can use it after enduring it for so long."
"Why do you think I'm working so hard for this? Go ahead without sparing any effort, Aqua!"
Xiao Lin, who was following her, encouraged her.
After receiving permission, Aqua's aura instantly surged.
"Oh, are you next?" Hans didn't realize what he was going to face next, and said sarcastically: "A mere high priest has no impact on me at all, even if you are a hateful Axis cultist. Same thing!"
And at this time——
"Down with the devil! Defeat the devil! Defeat the devil! Defeat the devil!..." xN
The uniform slogans make people shudder.
For some reason, many people appeared around the big pit.
They are all residents of this town and members of the Axis cult.
"Everyone, Axis Cult Doctrine!"
"Axis believers can do it if they work hard. Even if the failure is not the believer's fault, failure to succeed is the world's fault."
“Just run away from unpleasant things, and running away is not failure.”
"If you hesitate for too long to get the answer, you will regret it no matter what you choose. You will regret it anyway, so choose the happiness of the moment."
"Don't worry too much about how you will fare in your later years. Even God doesn't know whether you will be smiling in the future, so just be happy in the present."
“It’s the world’s fault that you don’t want to work hard, your bad nature is your environment’s fault, and your ugly appearance is your genetic fault.”
“Don’t blame yourself, just pass the responsibility on to others.”
"Down with the devil! Defeat the devil! Defeat the devil! Defeat the devil!..." xN
Faith continued to gather, combined with what Xiaolin had accumulated, a huge blue light emerged behind Aqua.
Hans, who was still confident of winning, was finally panicking at this moment.
"you you……!"
"Polluting the hot springs cherished by my lovely followers is a crime worthy of death! Pray to the gods for salvation and repent!"
"The abominable goddess they admire, never thought..."
Aqua's faith reached its peak as she shouted "Eris's breasts are padded".
"Take it! God Requiem!"
"I didn't expect it to be you————!"
As the huge magic circle spread throughout the town, Hans, the leader of the Demon King's Army, was completely purified.
