Chapter 56 The Fifth Skill (Part 2)
"Explosion Magic"
"From: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!"
"Description: There's nothing a single Explosion Magic spell can't solve. If there is, then
unleash a few more!" A blessing for the wonderful system!
Finney Hellseg silently praised the system in his heart. He still remembered the anime; Megumin's Explosion Magic in the show was quite powerful.
Ignoring the late hour, Finney immediately opened a portal to Mount Everest. He had already found an area there specifically for fighting and testing skills.
Above the void, Finney took a deep breath, stretched out his palm, and began to unleash Explosion Magic according to the skill's instructions.
"Blacker than black, the deepest darkness,"
"Merge with my crimson!"
"The moment of awakening has arrived."
"Fall into the realm of infallibility,"
"Form an invisible distortion."
"Appear!"
"Explosion!"
A dazzling crimson light formed a giant magic circle around Finney, and a pillar of fire instantly descended from the sky, causing a massive explosion at the targeted location!
"Boom!"
Art is Patrick Star!
The shockwave from the explosion propelled Finney a considerable distance.
The power far exceeded Finney's expectations; if he hadn't been in the air, he probably would have been injured.
A wave of exhaustion washed over him; had he not been so adept at levitation, he might have fallen.
The release of the 'Explosion Magic' was similar to the 'Golden Grand Evolution Technique,' primarily consuming his mental energy. Furthermore, the release had involuntarily drained his cultivated magical power, resulting in such immense power and his weakened state.
Despite his physical weakness, Finney was exceptionally excited, muttering to himself, "This is magic! This is a true magician!"

Kamar-Taj's magic, though profound and mysterious, didn't quite match his image of a mage. No fireballs, no staffs, no incantations—it felt rather unorthodox.
Even Gandalf, while carrying a sword, would also use a staff for illumination and to maintain appearances.
Now, he finally looked somewhat like a proper mage; all he lacked was a magic staff.
After recovering for a while, Finney tested it again. This time, under his deliberate control, the power wasn't as terrifying as before, but it was still formidable.
He also discovered two things: the spell incantations didn't seem fixed, and chanting could affect the released power to some extent.
Finney didn't plan to modify the incantation for the time being; the current incantation was already quite powerful, and the bonus was substantial, so there was no need to change it.
The power of 'Explosion Magic' far exceeded Finney's expectations; this power was enough to solve most problems. The system's description was indeed correct.
With a cheerful mood, Finney returned home. Now, dealing with the Abomination was much simpler. A few bursts of 'Explosion Magic' high above would surely finish it off; he wasn't sure the Abomination would be completely unharmed. His only worry was whether unleashing his full power would accidentally injure himself. "Relying
on the system is definitely better than relying on others,"
Finney thought to himself. Back home, Finney summarized his current abilities.
First, the 'Golden Grand Evolution Technique' is currently restricted by the Temple and cannot be fully utilized, mostly used to support other abilities.
Second, the 'Violet Chicken Nugget Roll' is an extremely powerful skill, usable against both allies and enemies, easy to cast, and completely cost-free, making it incredibly strong.
Next is the defensively powerful 'Evil Spirit Possession', an evolving armor that is currently his most important ability; without it, his combat power would drop by at least half.
Then there are 'Flying Technique' and 'Teleportation Portal,' abilities that allow him to be unaffected by the combat environment.
Finally, there's the newly acquired 'Explosion Magic,' the strongest offensive ability, boasting not only ample firepower but also area-of-effect damage, instantly boosting his combat power.
Finney suddenly realized that he had unknowingly become much stronger, with no obvious weaknesses, possessing powerful defense, fierce attacks, and the ability to adapt to various battlefields.
"No, no, I can't be arrogant."
Just as he thought this, Finney quickly dismissed the idea. Although she seemed strong, she wasn't actually that powerful. She was more than capable of dealing with ordinary people, but not enough to single-handedly wipe out an entire fleet like Big Mom.
The increase in strength also made Finney raise his benchmark, although the leap from Hawkeye and Black Widow to Captain Marvel was a bit too large.
Feeling quite pleased with himself, Finney took a nap and went to Kamar-Taj for his training the next day as usual.
Although his talent for Kamar-Taj magic was poor and his progress slow, it was currently the only way to increase the power of 'Golden Grand Evolution Technique' and 'Explosion Magic'.
Until he obtained other abilities or found alternatives, he could only focus on his training.
Time always slips away quietly.
It must be said that Mordo's assessment was correct; Kasirius's talent for training far surpassed his. Having only been in Kamar-Taj for less than half a year, he could already use the portal skillfully in his daily training.
"What's so great about it? Just a mere teleportation portal."
Watching Kasirius effortlessly create a portal in the void, Finney muttered to himself from a distance. If he didn't feel he should keep some trump cards hidden, he'd love to show the Kamar-Taj mages what true magic should look like.
Without Iron Man as his experience booster, Finney's experience gain slowed down again, but thankfully he'd just finished drawing his fifth skill and wasn't in such a rush to draw more.
He'd been working incredibly hard every day recently, and grinding for experience wasn't easy, so it was time for a short break.
On the weekend, Finney sat on the sofa watching TV. Tony's 'Stark Industries Expo' was already in full swing, with massive advertising campaigns, as if afraid everyone wouldn't know about it.
"Speaking of which, I wonder if that guy will still launch an attack..."
Finney couldn't help but think of Whiplash, who had also built a small arc reactor in an extremely rudimentary environment. Given his hatred for the Stark family, he would definitely be tempted to seek revenge.
However, the current Tony isn't as desperate and reckless as in the original storyline. He's even created new elements and improved the armor's performance.
In this situation, it won't be so easy for that Russian to seek revenge like in the original story.
Actually, his biggest contribution is probably letting the world know that Tony's armor might not be the only one, a result the military would likely be happy with.
After watching some reports about Tony and Pepper, Finney turned off the TV. He rarely had a day off, so he didn't plan to continue cultivating and decided to go out for a stroll.
Once outside, he wandered aimlessly, eventually ending up at the Captain America Museum.
Yes, the adorable Megumin~ But the person who guessed it on the first day is amazing! Just mentioning a frog and a lighthearted anime, and they guessed it was Megumin! So impressive!!!
