Chapter 37 – Explo… sion?!

Chapter 37 – Explo... sion?!

The Boosted Gear took time to deliver boost after boost, so I had to be patient to reach a level of power that would allow me to carry out my plan to kill Raiser.

With a scornful laugh, Raiser swooped down on me, his flaming wings leaving a trail of fire in the air. He was fast, faster than anything I had ever faced. Even with my reflexes heightened by the power of the Boosted Gear, I barely managed to dodge the second time.

He clicked his tongue and dragged his feet on the ground as he landed.

"You can't run forever, Leonard." Raiser said in a more serious tone, pointing to my right shoulder.

At that moment, a small flame started on my school blazer. So I took off my blazer and just wore a white tank top and for the first time I showed those devils a bit of my physique.

My body was more muscular than I usually let on. My shoulders were broad and there was a good amount of muscle in my arms. I had trained hard for many years at the Academy of Compulsory Education to excel in every way, not to mention that my life as an explorer had me climbing mountains, hanging off cliffs between ruins, and living on a restricted diet of almost rotten monster meat and mushrooms, as those were the only things I could find in the forest.

Even Raiser was surprised by my physique, but unlike the others, he clicked his tongue again and said:

"Tsk! I'm starting to think you're just trying to draw attention away from me."

I threw my blazer on the floor and raised my left hand to show the Boosted Gear.

"The way you talk is stupid. The Sacred Gear I own is the most powerful, in my opinion, so I'm only using you to set an example for all the nobles here."

"{That's how you say it, kid! Boost!}"

Raiser had had enough of me. He reached his right hand forward and unleashed a burst of fire. I jumped back and lifted a plate off the ground, using it as a shield against the intense fire.

Raiser laughed. "You look like a fly trying to escape a spider's web. No, it's worse! You're like a rat running from a phoenix! There's no comparison between us!" he sneered. "It doesn't matter if you have great power if you can't use it!"

He seemed to be enjoying himself, as if he was joking, but the truth was that this battle was already over for him. It was me who hadn't given him a chance.

"{Boost!}" Ddraig's voice sounded again, and my attributes increased.

My strength increased exponentially, but I needed more.

Raiser tried to take advantage of my lowering the plate to advance and strike me, but my reflexes were at their peak, and I dodged to the side, feeling the ground shake from the force of his explosive blow.

"You're starting to annoy me, Leonard!"

Raiser was beginning to lose patience, and his attacks were becoming more and more uncontrolled. If I could continue to dodge and increase my strength with Boosted Gear, I'd have my chance soon.

"{Boost!}"

The accumulated energy was at its peak. It was time to release it all at once.

With a ferocious roar, I pushed Raiser to the ground and stomped on his back with my foot.

"It's time to end this, Raiser!" I yelled as I aimed the Boosted Gear at his back. "Explo... No, that's the name of Megumin's attack. Then I'll use: Supreme Self-Destruct Obliterator!!!"

"W-WHAT...?"

At that moment, all the energy I had accumulated exploded in a flash of red and green light, engulfing the entire battlefield in a wave of destructive power that spread out in all directions in the shape of a sphere.

The explosion was so powerful that everyone felt the ground shake beneath their feet, and the pillars of the small pocket dimension where the duel was taking place began to shake.

The area of the explosion was so vast that the magic barrier around the arena was the only thing that contained it. However, the magic barrier soon began to crack under the internal pressure of the explosion as it tried to expand further.

For a moment, a shrill scream of pain could be heard above all other sounds. It was Raiser's scream.

The barrier quickly cracked, and everyone's eyes widened at the sight of such a huge amount of pure power.

There was a moment when the magic barrier could no longer hold after so many cracks and finally broke, enveloping not only the entire arena but also the stands and stages in smoke, dust, and wind. Everyone's hair and clothes were blown back as the destructive greenish energy slowly retreated back to the epicenter from which it had originated.

"This power... who could survive it?" A high-ranking noble demon whispered, his hair bristling from the storm that raged in every corner of the arena.
