My fiancée Yukino

internal

The furniture and decorations have all been completed.

Of course, compared to the two villas in Chiba and Tokyo, the decoration is certainly not as luxurious, but it has a different style and is still very nice overall.

"Everyone, come in. We'll rest in the city for a while today, and tomorrow we'll set off to explore the plains outside Axel."

Upon entering the house, everyone except Luo Bai was visiting for the first time.

Looking at the decorations in the mansion, especially the spacious living room on the first floor with a fireplace, Hoshino Ai ran over with shining eyes.

"Brother Luo Bai, won't this kind of house be very cold in winter?"

"Winter?" Luo Bai said with a smile. "Have you forgotten what kind of world we are in now? There is magic here, and not to mention magic, the fireplace alone can raise the indoor temperature. Add to that magic and magical items to maintain the indoor temperature, and you won't feel cold in winter."

"Oh right, I forgot about that!"

Hoshino Ai awkwardly stuck out her tongue, then followed Kanao upstairs to choose their rooms.

Since these weren't permanent residences, Luo Bai didn't decorate the bedroom according to everyone's requirements. She simply purchased a batch of high-quality furniture and tried to make it as cozy as possible.

Yukinoshita's mother walked into a bedroom, looked at the bed, and said in surprise, "Although this is a place with a Western fantasy theme, the textile industry is quite good. These beddings would be considered high-end even back in our country."

Following her mother, Yukino whispered, "Luo Bai buys only the best available here. As for the textile industry, many of the monsters here have high-grade furs. Combined with some special plants and a mature magical industry, it's not difficult to produce good textiles. The same goes for construction. In addition to regular workers, there are also mages who come to reinforce the houses."

Yukino's mother nodded: "That's true, but each has its own advantages. High-end products like these can't be mass-produced in this world, just like back home, the target customers are different. I've finished looking at the rooms, I'll stay in this one. Yukino, do you want to sleep together tonight? I can also talk to you about some of your future plans."

The relationship between mother and daughter had improved a lot compared to before, and Yukino smiled and agreed, "Sure."

"Also, where is Yang Nai? Count her in too tonight."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw his eldest daughter run into the room.

"How's your assessment?"

Then, Yang was met with the gazes of her younger sister and mother.

"Ugh?"

Ten minutes later, everyone had chosen their rooms and written their names on the doorplates before returning to the living room downstairs.

Holding Tina's hand in one hand and Xia Shi's hand in the other, Luo's mother sat down on the sofa in the living room and said with a smile, "The house is nice, but we won't be staying here often. Isn't it a bit of a waste?"

Luo Bai, standing to the side, shrugged and said, "Anyway, all that money we've earned before is useless to keep, so we might as well buy a house. That way, whenever we come back, as long as Axel isn't destroyed, we'll have a place to live, which is pretty good. As for making money, we can take on a few high-paying jobs and earn quite a bit."

Mother Luo nodded: "That's true, but are these commissions of yours very dangerous?"

Tina raised her hand and said, "Axel is like a beginner's village in a game. There are very few high-difficulty and high-risk missions. They might only appear a few times a month."

Xia Shi then added, "However, some unexpected situations may occur, such as the headless knight, a cadre of the Demon King's army, but he was still defeated by Luo Bai and Aqua."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Axel is indeed considered a beginner's village, but there are quite a few unexpected situations. I just don't know if anything special has happened during this time; I don't know much about it either."

Utaha asked curiously, "You've already defeated the Demon King's army's officers and wiped out the Headless Horseman's forces along the way. Didn't the Demon King's army react at all?"

“Indeed, there isn’t any.” Luo Bai tilted his head and thought for a moment, then looked puzzled. “Although I know that the Demon King’s army has a lot of troops and many enemy officers, it’s impossible that we don’t pay any attention to them, even if this is a beginner’s village. Or is it that the message hasn’t been delivered yet? That shouldn’t be the case, it’s been so long.”

Just then, a loud, urgent bell rang throughout Axel, and an emergency announcement was made.

"Destroyer alert! Destroyer alert!"

"The Mobile Fortress Destroyer is steadily approaching the town!"

Hearing the alarm, Luo Bai couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"No way, we've only been here for less than an hour and things have already started?"

If Luo Bai remembers correctly, this should be the plot at the end of the first season of the anime. The Mobile Fortress Destroyer is a pretty big siege machine, and it should be quite difficult to defeat.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Luo Bai didn't hesitate and said directly, "We definitely have to go, but before that, let's change our clothes first. Mom, you and the two aunts should also change your clothes, as you're still too conspicuous like this."

Ten minutes later, everyone changed into Axel's clothes and then went to the Adventurers' Guild together.

Inside the guild, Kazuma and the others were all there, along with the other main adventurers.

Upon seeing Luo Bai arrive, He Zhen excitedly ran over: "Brother Luo Bai, you're here! This increases our chances of winning!"

Waving his hand, Luo Bai looked at the guild members: "Don't speak too confidently yet. I need to find out the specifics first. What's the status of that mobile fortress?"

Luna, the guild's receptionist, nodded and looked at the official Axel standing to the side.

Volume 1: Chapter 528 The Defense of Axel (2/2)

An official carrying a crystal ball stepped forward and placed it on the table.

The crystal ball lit up, revealing the full view of the mobile fortress destroyer that was advancing in the distance.

The adventurers fell silent upon seeing the enormous metal creature that resembled a spider.

Mother Luo frowned as well: "It's so big, probably tens of meters tall, how are we going to fight it?"

Luo Bai wasn't too panicked. He had experienced much more terrifying things, so this was nothing.

The next second, cannons emerged from the Destroyer's back, firing lasers that destroyed the magical bird monitoring and transmitting images from the sky, and the broadcast was interrupted.

Frowning, Luo Bai said, "It's in the northwest direction, and we still have an hour, right? But such a huge thing, even if its attack power is average, we can't let it get close to the town, not to mention that its name is Destroyer."

One of the adventurers, a female mage, raised her hand and asked, "Um, the Destroyer was created by an ancient magical kingdom, right? Didn't the people who created it have any countermeasures?"

After a moment of silence, Luna shook her head and said, "After the Destroyer went out of control, that country was the first to be destroyed."

Luo Bai shrugged.

"Well, it happened as expected. Anyway, no matter what, we won't be getting support anytime soon. We'll have to deal with this ourselves. Letting it get close to Axel... even if we agree, the damage from the explosion will be significant."

"The terror needs to be dealt with as far away as possible. Huihui, you haven't used your Explosion Magic yet, have you?"

Upon hearing Luo Bai mention her name, Huihui excitedly waved her staff.

"No, no, but I can't wait any longer. Shall we leave right away?"

Luo Bai nodded, glancing at the group of adventurers who seemed to be led by him. Without hesitation, he said directly, "I'll be the main attacker for the next operation. I need to test the strength of this thing first, and then, if I'm confident, Huihui's Explosion Magic and I will deliver the final blow. Aqua, you come too. Try to see if you can break the Destroyer's barrier."

Aqua knew the situation was urgent, and even though she wasn't sure, she didn't refuse.

"I see."

Then, Luo Bai looked at He Zhen and Darkness.

"Darkness, this time we're facing a colossal enemy, so you might not get a chance to participate. Kazuma, what skills have you learned recently?"

Darkness was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that he was no match for such a formidable enemy.

Kazuma then took out his adventurer card and said, "As for skills, I recently learned a life absorption skill, which can absorb and transfer magic power."

"Alright, that increases our chances of winning. Megumin's Explosion Magic is incredibly powerful but can only be used once. However, with your skills, you can transfer Aqua's magic power to Megumin, allowing her to use it one more time. Are there any other people in the city who can use Explosion Magic?"

Oh! Yes, there are!

Kazuma suddenly thought of someone, "Wiz, the owner of Wiz Magic Item Shop, I remember she seems to know explosion magic too, right?"

Huihui nodded in agreement: "Yes, a rare kindred spirit!"

As the saying goes, "Speak of the devil and he appears," and Wiz squeezed out of the crowd.

"Um, sorry I'm late. I heard someone calling me just now?"

And so, all the personnel of the advance attack force were present.

Five kilometers outside the town, a temporary defensive line was quickly set up by earth magicians. The adventurers were waiting there, and Megumin and Wiz's explosion magic would be activated from there.

Looking at the clearly defined outline of the gigantic Destroyer in the distance, Luo Bai stretched his neck and said, "Then, Aqua and I will go and take a look first."

Looking at Luo Bai, Luo's mother said with some concern, "Son, be careful."

Luo Bai smiled and gave a thumbs up, then leaped off the platform, transforming into a flame man. To everyone's astonishment, he grew larger, becoming a fifty-meter-tall flame giant.

When the five gastrulators appeared in the previous stage, Luo's mother had seen her son's battle through a video, but this was the first time she had seen this form in person.

Watching her son fly towards the Destroyer in the distance, Mother Luo said softly, "Without realizing it, Little White has grown to this extent."

Yukino, who was standing nearby, also said, "He has become a hero in many people's hearts. He has saved many people."

Xia Shi and Tina nodded repeatedly.

Soon, Luo Bai flew to the Destroyer. Looking at the semi-transparent magical barrier outside, Luo Bai thought for a moment, then conjured a giant flaming blade in his hand and slashed down without hesitation.

"Oh!"

The attack landed, but was directly blocked by the defensive barrier.

However, Luo Bai was not disappointed. Instead, he used his superpowers to control the phone to float next to his ear.

"Aqua, it's up to you now. If you go all out, you can break through!"

"I know, watch me!!!"

Aqua confidently stepped forward, unleashing a torrent of magical power that caused a massive magic circle to appear in the sky, drawing everyone's attention.

"Holy... Break the curse!"

Although it was just a spell to break a curse, its power was ridiculously terrifying under the magical blessing of the goddess Aqua, directly achieving a level of power comparable to a forbidden spell.

Golden light shot out, pointing directly at the Destroyer.

Luo Bai slightly turned his body to the side, and the Divine Dispel spell was placed on the barrier, gradually dissolving it.

Luo Bai continued, "Aqua, put in a little more effort, and I'll treat you to a drink when we're done!"

"Oh, oh, oh! You said it yourself, I want unlimited drinks!!!"

With Aqua's scream, the output of magic power increased further.

"boom!"

The seemingly indestructible barrier was completely destroyed by Aqua alone.

Without hesitation, Luo Bai swung his flaming blade and unleashed the Breath of the Sun the moment the barrier broke.

"Breath of the Sun, Dance of Flames!"

A massive flash of fiery light swept past, instantly severing the Destroyer's eight spider legs. Without the ability to move, the Destroyer's body crashed to the ground.

Sheathing his flaming blade, Luo Bai stepped forward, allowing the Destroyer's attack to pierce through his body, then lifted it up and forcefully tossed it into the sky.

"Even now, Megumin, Wiz!"

"Explosion!" x2

Two devastating explosive spells were aimed directly at the Destroyer's body in the air and hit it precisely.

"boom!"

The massive explosion shot straight into the sky, blasting all the clouds apart.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the remains of the Destroyer lay on the ground.

While the adventurers behind him were cheering excitedly, Luo Bai noticed the enormous energy still circulating within the Destroyer's remains. Recalling the plot of the animation, he knew that this thing was not so easily destroyed.

"It's not over yet."

Volume 1: Chapter 529 The Prize Money, The Banquet (1/2)

"Buzz..."

As soon as Luo Bai finished speaking, magical runes appeared on the Destroyer's body, proving that it had not been completely destroyed.

Kazuma, seeing this through his binoculars, exclaimed in surprise, "It's not broken yet? Brother Luo Bai, should I transfer magic to Huihui?"

"No need. This thing's defense is almost non-existent. I'll take the final step."

Stepping forward, Luo Bai picked up the remains of the Destroyer and then threw them forcefully into the distance.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he conjured a huge fireball in his right hand and hurled it at the Destroyer.

"boom!"

An explosion several times larger than the previous one suddenly occurred, creating another huge crater behind the original one.

With his hands pressed against his body to block the impact of the explosion, Luo Bai finally calmed down the flames on his body, transformed back into human form, and flew back to the defensive fortifications.

Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief as he landed on the observation tower, smiling at everyone: "Alright, the danger is over. Can we go back and have a victory celebration now?"

After a brief silence, all the adventurers erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
