Chapter 22: Flag

"How could there be a person who is still fine after blocking two explosion magic!"

Megumin was a little dumbfounded to see the demon, Host, who was kneeling on one knee at the center of the explosion but still looked fine.

Ever since she had learned explosion magic, she has yet to see anyone who could survive a single shot of explosion magic.

Even Arnes, a female demon who was so powerful that she could escape from being surrounded by the Archpriest of the Axis Cult and other priest in the headquarter of Axis Cult, Arcaletia, and kept pestering her in order to snatch away Chomusuke (black cat). Also immediately retreated after receiving her explosion magic.

But now, there was someone who had eaten two explosion magic and still seemed to be alright.

Megumin's worldview almost collapsed!

"I understand! It must be because your two explosive magic are too terrible, that's why it was still alright, that must be the case!"

"Ahem…although this is also part of the reason."

Although those explosion magic just now was indeed thrown casually and not the least bit serious.

But to be disdained in such a manner by Megumin, Sato Hikaru still felt a little embarrassed, so he still pointed at Host while explaining.

"But the most important reason was that guy was not a human, but a very dangerous high-level demon."

While speaking, Sato Hikaru also raised his staff towards that demon, magic started to gather: "Just nice for me to try that magic just now…holy purification!"

A holy magic circle opened at the front of the staff, the same holy light beam that was previously "absorbed", was then shot out.

The demon, Host, who was squatting and posing in the center of the explosion, directly opened its wings and rose into the air as if teleporting.

"I still though which strong man come here, in the end, it was only a half-baked explosion mage and an Archpriest?"

Host, who mistakenly thought Sato Hikaru and the other two were not related to the precious attack which wiped out the forest, looked at the three of them seemingly wanting to give it a try.

"These three although can be considered not bad, but as long as they are not like that mentally retarded Axel cultist whose magic power was inexhaustible, it should not be difficult to solve them."

"Wait until they are defeated then ask some questions, what is going on with this area, why is there so many strong people appearing. Could it be that they are also here for the other half of Lord Wolfbach's body?"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Host no longer hesitated.

It flapped its wings and immediately swooped towards Sato Hikaru and the others.

"Hm…the speed of this purification is rather slow, it will basically miss if it is farther away."

Megumin who saw Sato Hikaru still thinking about the holy magic just now, and basically did not care about the quickly approaching demon, she shook Sato Hikaru in panic: "Stop dazing around, that guy is coming!"

"Fireball! Lightning! Water cannon!"

At the side, Yunyun had raised her hand and instantly shot three mid-grade magic.

"Not good, it is too fast, the magic cannot hit him at all at this distance."

When Sato Hikaru saw this, not only did he not feel anxious, he even looked at Yunyun with interest: "Then try wind magic or large-scale magic."

"Wind blade!"

Yunyun who had received the hint, first shot a wind magic.

Sure enough, the fast wind blade successfully hit Host, but…

"Not good, mid-grade magic cannot breakthrough his defense."

"Then try combination magic."

"I understand, Sea of flames!"

After Yunyun raised her hand toward the sky and sprayed out a sea of flames to block Host's path, she immediately raised her other hand towards the sea of flames and chanted: "Whirlwind!"

From the magic circle, the whirlwind immediately blew and rotated the sea of flames forward, completely wrapping Host in it.

"Suc, success?!"

"Yunyun, you…"

Megumin looked at Yunyun speechlessly and said: "Haven't it been taught in school to not set up such flag that is bound to fail?!"

"That, that kind of knowledge is obviously fake!"

"No! This time I stand with Megumin, she is right."

Sato Hikaru also nodded his head, and complained: "Your words are like those of supporting characters, after speaking, the boss would not only appear unharmed, but also entered second phase, which would make the battle more difficult."

"How could Mr. Sato also…"

Just when Yunyun wanted to say something, A wave of air suddenly swept towards them from the front.

Turning her head to look, she saw the whirlwind of flames she released was dissipated by a huge wave of force from the center.

Which then revealed Host, who was not only unharmed, even its speed was not slowed down at all.

"How can it be?"

Yunyun expressed her surprise at this.

On the other hand, Sato Hikaru and Megumin crossed their arms and nodded without any surprise: "It really turned out like this." X2

"Don't have such a tacit understanding on weird things!"

Seeing the two of them still in the mood to chat, Yunyun was so anxious that she almost burst into tears: "The most important thing now is to stop that demon!"
