"Two hundred million Eris... almost at the level of a Demon Lord's subordinate!" Kazuma shouted in a frantic voice, nearly throwing out his back when he heard the bounty.

I've been in this other world for so long, and I've finally made a name for myself... but why this kind of fame?! I didn't make it onto the Hero Rankings, but I did manage to get on the wanted list.

No wonder Darkness's eyes turned red when she looked at me. You know, a billion is a price that even I would be tempted by!

"So, can you explain what you're doing, Aqua..." Kazuma was stunned when he realized that he had been wrapped in ropes.

Aqua dragged the bound Kazuma outside, saying, "Is there any need to ask? Of course, we'll use you to exchange for the bounty and get some drinks, you criminal!"

Kazuma didn't resist, but instead uttered a question from the depths of his soul: "Is it possible that I haven't been put on a bounty yet...?" (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

Aqua paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled warmly, quickly loosened her grip on the rope, and acted as if nothing had happened: "Oh, come on! I was just joking, I just wanted to let Kazuma-sama get some sun."

"Really? Well, thank you so much then." Kazuma smiled kindly as well, and then, shortly after, Aqua's scream rang out...

[And so Kazuma hid at home for three days, staying close to Aqua to avoid being divinated.]

Meanwhile, Megumin wasn't idle during the time she and Kazuma were hiding at home. Rain or shine, every day she and Darkness would run to the lake, find Hydra, unleash their explosion magic, and then run away.

However, Darkness was nearly swallowed by the Hydra that day. Aqua, seeing the terrible state of her body upon her return, rushed over to treat her.

[Until this day...Megumin discovers that Darkness, along with her equipment, has vanished!]

"I told her not to go, why won't she listen to me!"

Every time Kazuma saw Darkness return from the lake covered in bruises, he would take turns keeping watch to stop her...

[And today it just so happens that Aqua is on guard duty, and Kazuma immediately became a little frantic: "Why the hell are you asleep?!!"]

[Aqua burst into tears: "Waaaaah, I'm so tired from hatching Zelda too! Raising a child is so hard..."]

Kazuma, however, wouldn't tolerate her. He grabbed Aqua's head and gave her a dressing down: "What do you mean by raising children? Bring me that egg, and watch me cook it fresh and delicious."

"Aqua may be stupid, but she is still a god. I hope she won't really make him pay with some incredible monster."

"Hahaha, you actually let a goddess with such a quirky way of thinking spy on you? Wasn't the lesson of having her guard your house last time enough..."

As it turns out, as long as this fool is happy every day, that's all that matters. Never ask her to do anything, or you'll get scammed without even realizing it.

Academy City World

Watching the two of them reliably and consistently give Hydra a shot every day, even the old man was speechless: "This scene seems somewhat familiar!"

He was reminded of that poor headless horseman again—who could stand this kind of harassment?! I certainly couldn't…

This is like slapping you in the face every day, and then running away while you're still in a daze. It's just outrageous!

"They still haven't caught up with them to shore. Is this Hydra just like the Headless Horseman?"

If it were me, I would have chased them to the ends of the earth by now, otherwise I would have been driven crazy by them sooner or later...

However, seeing that now was not the time to argue, Kazuma abandoned his idea of ​​teaching Aqua a lesson and began to plan her actions.

"You two go and hold Darkness back! Don't fight Hydra if you encounter them, I have somewhere I need to go!"

After Aqua and Megumin found Darkness, even clinging to her legs couldn't stop her advance!

"Darkness!!" However, not long after, Kazuma arrived with all of Axel's adventurers, all there to help.

The burly man in pink overalls looked up at the gloomy sky and said in a low voice, "This awful weather... my old wounds are starting to ache..."

"So dragging it along means exactly what it says! You two really are just clinging to each other and dragging it along... Huihui is already flat enough, it's going to wear down to the point of being like a brake pad."

Looking at this lineup, even the people watching the video were a little surprised. Was this some kind of large-scale dungeon raid?

Type-Moon Fifth World War

"This is what connections are all about..." Emiya Shirou couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the impressive lineup.

No wonder they sent Megumin and Aqua to drag them along; they were actually calling for reinforcements. They even called for the entire village—probably more people than in the finale.

Artoria looked somewhat dazed, as if reminiscing: "Kazuma may be a bit of a jerk, but he's a good person. He's been in the starting village for so long, and he's actually maxed out the residents' goodwill towards him!"

Kazuma managed to summon a large group of adventurers in such a short time! This is not something just anyone can do.

Speaking of the starting village, Shirou Emiya's lips twitched: "Yeah, who would have thought there wouldn't be a single newbie in the starting village..."

Only Rin Tohsaka was still bothered by her older brother in the pink tank top, and even a little frantic: "Why are you everywhere... You're just a tailor! Why do you have to be so profound in everything you say?"

No matter how rugged you look or how profound your words are, it doesn't change the fact that you're just a tailor!

They even said an old injury was acting up again... The only thing that could cause that kind of pain on a rainy day is rheumatism.

Chapter 542 Let's rename the newbie village to a retirement village! Everyone here is a pro.

"How did this monstrous king manage to summon so many adventurers?" Ishtar was utterly baffled.

If Kazuma were an incredibly brave, virtuous, and chivalrous hero, then it would be understandable that he could command such a large following...

But he's not any of those! Those things have nothing to do with him. He's not only a lecherous monster, but also extremely despicable, utterly despicable. Even the Demon King's subordinates are more upright than him.

Merlin gave a wry smile: "But he actually did it, didn't he?"

While arranging for Aqua to stop Darkness, he also came up with a solution. It's really hard to imagine that he was just a shut-in teenager in his previous life.

Moreover, they gathered a large group of people at an abnormally fast speed... What good is being able to fight? In the end, it's all about power!

[Soon the group arrived at the lakeside, and Aqua began striking various strange poses, continuously casting buffs on everyone: "Blessing..."]

Kazuma began to use his strengths, running through the crowd and directing their actions: "Thieves, prepare to bind yourselves! Archers, prepare your arrows to secure your grappling hooks!"

"Magician, don't hold back! Gather all your magic power and unleash a powerful attack!"

Finally, Kazuma turned his gaze to Darkness, who was standing at the very front: "Darkness, your taunt skill is key this time, don't get instantly killed!"

Soon, the Nine Dragons Hydra came into view. Darkness's eyes sharpened: "Leave it to me, Taunt!!"

The next second, Darkness ran around making all sorts of bizarre expressions, like an aberrant species: "I'll kill you, you, you, you, you..."

"Hahaha, so this skill is also manifested in actions. I must say, that expression is truly sarcastic!"

The people watching the video were all amused. As expected of a superior profession, look at their taunts! It's a double taunt, both physical and mental, every second is a meme!

Sword Art Online World

Kirito stared blankly at the screen, his thoughts already drifting far away: "Speaking of which, the last time Kazuma commanded so many people in battle was back at the Mechanical Fortress, wasn't it?"

Asuna's voice sounded somewhat nostalgic: "Yes, this also reminds me of the scene when we were fighting the first floor boss."

They were so familiar with this scene that they experienced it every now and then. Unfortunately, Aqua wasn't there, and different people would sacrifice themselves in each expedition.

Kirito smiled slightly after regaining his senses: "Commanding a team in guild battles is never an easy task, but Kazuma managed to do it!"

Not only do you have to pay attention to the positioning, injury level, and magic power of different professions at all times, but you also have to be constantly wary of the boss's changes. These are not easy tasks.

In particular, the brain must make reasonable arrangements and plans in an instant based on this observed information to avoid casualties and to cause effective harm...

Commanding is never an easy task.

Seeing that Hydra had drawn the enemy's attention, at Kazuma's command, the thieves twisted their ropes together and shot out, the huge iron balls tied to their backs also flying through the air!

Driven by immense inertia, the giant iron ball spun around the Hydra, binding it securely in the blink of an eye! Archers also began launching grappling hooks, attempting to pin it to the ground!

[Then Kazuma used the springboard to launch himself, but the force was a bit too much... he flew directly over his head and landed on his back.]

"If I can't defeat it without magic, then let me absorb it all, I'll absorb its life force!!"

With everyone's combined efforts, the weakened water snake was pulled ashore. However, before Kazuma could even feel happy, it flipped over and tumbled him back down.

Fortunately, Darkness stepped in front of Kazuma in time to prevent him from being crushed on the spot: "He's too heavy, I can't hold on much longer!"

"No, no, no, you're too modest. To be honest, I think it's already amazing that you could hold out for even a moment!"

Looking at Hydra's enormous size, and then at Darkness's tiny size, which was barely the size of a fingernail, the people watching the video silently gave a thumbs up, saying, "You're still the best!"

OVERLORD World

Looking at Kazuma's actions, and then at Hydra's enormous size, Old Bones pondered for a moment, chin in hand: "This... how should I put it? Is this a mosquito?"

That's right, it's a mosquito! Comparing their sizes, it might even be smaller than a mosquito, but I have to say, Kazuma is really brave to dare to go for it!

Shalltear's teeth ached at the sight: "Mosquitoes can only take a few bites, how long will it take him? Won't his body burst from sucking?"

Wouldn't it be suicide for a human body to absorb such a behemoth? It would be more like replacing it with the immortal lich Wiz.

"No! This Life Absorption technique seems to be different from others; Hydra has really been weakened." This is what intrigued Ainz and the others the most.

From a normal perspective, even if Hydra stood still and let He Zhen absorb mana for a whole day, it wouldn't be a problem. A monster of this level might regenerate mana faster than He Zhen absorbs it.

But it actually worked! You could say that the life absorption technique is truly amazing.

Darkness risks injury every day to deplete the monster's magic; how can we let her efforts go to waste!

With this thought in mind, Kazuma continued to use Life Absorption, but Darkness couldn't hold on for long and was also about to collapse.

Kazuma quickly provoked her: "How can someone who can't even endure this win the endurance contest! You spineless coward!"

The pressure from Hydra and Kazuma's harsh words made Darkness flush with excitement, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing Darkness's face turn completely red, the adventurers quickly began to pull Hydra along, saying, "Darkness can't hold on much longer! Don't underestimate the adventurers of Axel!"

Little did they know, Darkness was experiencing a completely new sensation, her mouth watering with excitement: "What is this feeling... You command me to hold on like a master, yet your life is in my hands!"

"What a contradiction... A new feeling, this is a new feeling, and it's real!" (Read super exciting novels on Feilu Novel Network!)

Fortunately, it held out long enough, and under Kazuma's life force, Hydra finally collapsed.

Seeing this, Dust excitedly grabbed his sword and charged forward: "Hydura's been weakened, I'll take the huge bounty! The bounty goes to whoever finishes her off..."
