Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 908: IUD-Chapter 903 Life = Explosion Magic

The rooms here are primarily used for office purposes, typically occupied by the higher-ups of the Guild.

However, they are occasionally used to host distinguished guests or temporarily accommodate injured individuals, after which a priest from the Eris Church is invited to use healing magic to treat the injuries.

At this moment, Fang Li and his group arrived in front of one of the rooms.

However, only Fang Li, Kazuma, and Megumin were present.

As for Aqua, she had just been sent into the room by Fang Li to help treat an injured person.

And that injured person was female, so during the treatment, neither Fang Li nor Kazuma felt it appropriate to enter.

Megumin, on the other hand, was too afraid to go in.

“Hey, is it really okay?”

Megumin, clutching her staff, spoke with a mix of anxiety and guilt.

“If my explosion magic affected her, it would be a miracle if she survived. That person must be seriously injured. Can Aqua really heal her all by herself?”

Just the thought of someone suffering due to her magic, possibly even facing life-threatening danger, made it impossible for Megumin to act tough, no matter how much of a chuuni she was.

Thus, she didn’t dare to enter, looking both guilty and extremely anxious.

“Well, there’s no need to worry so much,” Kazuma said, surprisingly comforting his teammate.

“Don’t let Aqua’s appearance fool you; after all, she’s an Arch Priest and has learned all the skills of an Arch Priest. It should be fine… probably?”

“Hey, you clearly don’t even believe that yourself!” Megumin retorted loudly, but shortly after, as if afraid of disturbing the treatment, she lowered her voice and stopped paying attention to Kazuma.

Instead, she tugged at Fang Li’s sleeve and whispered, “What should I do?”

“What else can you do? Just remember to apologize later,” Fang Li replied casually.

“Also, after today’s incident, you should realize how troublesome your magic can be. Make sure to tone it down in the future.”

Upon hearing Fang Li’s words, the anxiety and guilt on Megumin’s face completely vanished, and with an uncompromising tone, she decisively said:

“That’s impossible.”

Such a resolute response not only surprised Fang Li but even Kazuma was taken aback.

“You…

weren’t you just feeling guilty about hurting someone with your magic?” Kazuma pointed at Megumin and said, “Logically, after something like that happened, it would be natural for you to tone it down a bit, right?”

“I know, I understand, but I still don’t want to!” Megumin’s words remained resolute as she declared, “Explosion magic is everything to me. Everything I have is explosion magic. I chose the path of magic because of explosion magic, so to say I’m obsessed with explosion magic is an understatement. I was born in this world for explosion magic!”

As she said this, Megumin clenched her fists, passionately expressing her feelings.

“If I don’t use explosion magic at least once a day, I will definitely die. If I have to tone it down and not use explosion magic, then my life will end here!”

“Since that’s the case, it’s obviously better for others to die than for me to die, isn’t it?!”

Megumin’s fervent speech made both Fang Li and Kazuma simultaneously exclaim:

“You really should just go die already!”

What kind of obsession with explosion magic is this?

It’s clearly the result of a few screws being loose, right?

The injured person is still in the room.

If they happen to wake up and hear Megumin’s words, they would surely faint again from the pain of their injuries!

Fang Li even began to doubt.

“Are the Crimson Demon clan really born with high intelligence?”

Then why does Fang Li feel that these people actually lack intelligence?

Perhaps Megumin is just a rarely seen weirdo among the Crimson Magic clan?

After all, instead of learning proper top-tier magic, she chose to learn explosion magic, becoming a great magician who can only fire once and then runs out of power.

It seems like a sign of a problem in her head.

Moreover, didn’t Megumin say that if she doesn’t use explosion magic at least once a day, she would die?

“By the way, didn’t Megumin just arrive in Axel not long ago?”

Since she arrived, there have been daily astonishing explosions outside the city of Axel, with loud booms echoing inside the city, and the outside has been left pockmarked, causing significant strain on the local infrastructure.

“I think I suddenly understand who the culprit is…”

As Fang Li contemplated whether he should report this problematic Crimson Magic clan to the authorities, the door to the room opened.

Aqua walked out, her shoulders slumped, and she was continuously complaining.

“Not only did I not get paid, but I also owe debts, and now I have to work for free. I’m a goddess, and I haven’t done anything…”

It seemed that Aqua was still brooding over the recent events.

However, Fang Li really wanted to point out that this situation was entirely of her own making.

If it weren’t for Aqua, the White Wolf pack wouldn’t have attacked in the first place.

If it weren’t for Aqua, Fang Li could have resolved the situation before Megumin unleashed her explosion magic.

In other words, if Aqua hadn’t been around, today’s quest would have gone smoothly.

Unfortunately, with Aqua added to the mix, along with a problematic member of the Crimson Magic clan, the outcome turned out like this.

Conversely, Kazuma was the most pitiful one, having done nothing yet ended up trapped under a tree for a long time before being rescued.

“I’m starting to doubt whether my luck is really that high.”

This was Kazuma’s first thought after being freed.

“Aqua,” Megumin quickly asked, “Is that person okay?”

“Of course, she’s fine. You should see who was treating her,” Aqua said proudly, puffing out her chest.

“However, she did tell me that she really wants to meet you. Do you want to go in?”

“She… wants to see me?” Megumin’s neck instinctively shrank.

But after a moment, Megumin forced herself to say, “It’s fine. Since I injured her, I should bear whatever insults or questions come my way.”

With that, Megumin gathered her courage and walked into the room.

Fang Li and the others exchanged glances before following her inside.

As Aqua had said, the injured person was completely fine.

Upon Megumin’s entrance, the injured individual did not scold or question her as Megumin had feared.

Instead, she seemed to view Megumin as a great blessing and grasped her hand tightly.

“Thank you very much!”

This was the first thing the injured person said to Megumin.

Fang Li watched this so-called injured person, and the corners of his eyes began to twitch.

His thoughts were singular.

“This is bad…”
