Takagi Saya and Marikawa Shizuka had not witnessed the Dimensional Chat Group's live broadcast, so they had no idea about the strength of Shiraishi Kawa and Misaka Mikoto.
If it were purely physical combat, they wouldn't be so shocked.
It was something beyond imagination, breaking their understanding. Takagi Saya occasionally saw works with themes of other worlds and superpowers on TV.
But after all, these were all fantasies. When it was presented before her eyes, she only felt the suffocating sensation brought by the huge disparity in strength.
"…"
"Shiraishi-kun, are you a god?"
Marikawa Shizuka, with her natural airhead personality, firmly held onto Shiraishi Kawa's arm, not caring that she had already sunk deeply into his chest through the gap.
She thought carefully.
It seemed that only the title of "god" could match Shiraishi Kawa's strength, and she also felt that Shiraishi Kawa smelled good.
Misaka Mikoto was also a bit confused.
This was somewhat similar to an earth-element esper in Academy City. Could it be that the world Shiraishi Kawa was in also had a similar esper organization?
In any case, the title "Ordinary High School Student" didn't suit Shiraishi Kawa.
If it weren't for this world mission being to team up with him, and if she hadn't watched the live broadcast, her impression of his strength would probably have forever remained at Lv4, right?
"You successfully killed a dead body, gaining 50 experience points."
"You successfully killed a dead body, gaining 50 experience points."
..."You successfully killed a dead body, gaining 50 experience points."
The basic skills of the Archmage profession in the Konosuba World, when placed in the lower-level Apocalypse World, even basic skills could be considered devastating strikes.
Based on immense magic power, the skill "Quicksand Ripple" was cast.
The originally quite solid concrete ground could be directly liquified into quicksand, devouring all the dead bodies and turning them into experience.
This served as the foundation for Shiraishi Kawa to raise the level of his Archmage and Holy Sword User professions, and it also confirmed that having a good magic staff weapon could enhance the efficiency of magic usage.
"Let's continue."
Shiraishi Kawa looked at the extremely large number of dead bodies in Academy City. Relying on the Holy Sword User profession could easily solve them, but it was too troublesome.
The simplest way was to cast an Explosion Magic that would drain all his magic points!
His gaze swept over Takagi Saya, who didn't even have the courage to meet his eyes. He wasn't trying to chastise her, but merely to make her recognize her place.
"Alright."
Busujima Saeko was relatively calm, even feeling a subtle thrill from killing these dead bodies: "What about these dead bodies around here?"
"Let's leave first. I have a way to deal with them."
Shiraishi Kawa gently shook his head. These were all experience points for leveling up. Pao Jie and Busujima Saeko didn't have the same leveling mechanism as him.
It was a rare opportunity to level up in a dungeon. The best thing to do was to create a commotion before leaving Fujimi Academy, attract all the dead bodies, and then solve the problem with a direct magical bombardment.
"Alright."
Although Busujima Saeko felt a bit regretful, she still chose to listen to Shiraishi Kawa. She swung her sword, directly flicking off the blood remaining on the wooden sword.
As they prepared to continue towards the parking lot, footsteps rapidly approached from the corner of the second floor behind them.
Especially upon seeing Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei appearing behind him, in this extremely suffocating environment, Takagi Saya felt that if there were some familiar faces in the team, she should be able to adapt better.
She couldn't help but wave her hand and say, "Takashi!!"
The second floor had not been completely cleared, and the dead bodies following Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei down the stairs were already infinitely closing in on Komuro Takashi.
Seeing the person she once had a crush on about to be caught by the dead bodies, Takagi Saya subconsciously looked towards Shiraishi Kawa, the strongest in the team, and blurted out, "Komuro Takashi is my classmate. Could you please save him?"
"…"
However, what awaited Takagi Saya was Shiraishi Kawa's indifferent gaze. He said calmly, "When did Komuro Takashi join the team?"
"Did you approve it?"
"…"
Clearly sensing Shiraishi Kawa's attitude, Takagi Saya opened her mouth but said nothing. She prided herself on being quite intelligent, and if she questioned him, she would definitely be abandoned by the team.
After all, he was just someone she used to have a crush on. Compared to her current predicament, staying alive was more important.
Komuro Takashi, who was almost caught by the dead bodies, suddenly felt something trip him, and the dead bodies behind him directly pounced on him.
With his own death, he bought Miyamoto Rei time to escape.
But seeing her admirer being bitten to death, witnessing this scene firsthand made her face turn pale.
Just on the rooftop, she had just lost one admirer, and now the situation was happening again.
At this moment, Shiraishi Kawa dispersed the magic power he had quietly condensed, and calmly interrupted Miyamoto Rei's sorrow: "Let's go. First, let's find a safe shelter."
"…"
"Can… can I follow you all?"
The desire to live drove Miyamoto Rei to plead. When she saw Shiraishi Kawa turn and leave, without giving any reply, she gritted her teeth.
She still chose to follow in their footsteps. No matter what price she had to pay next, only staying alive was the most important thing!
With Busujima Saeko leading the way, the journey to the parking lot was relatively safe, not encountering too many dead bodies.
However, with the school bus starting and the roar of the engine, most of the dead bodies in Fujimi Academy were attracted.
The exhausted Takagi Saya and Miyamoto Rei hadn't even had time to catch their breath when a huge number of zombies were already attracted to the rear of the activated school bus.
Facing this situation, Marikawa Shizuka, who was driving the vehicle, kept reminding herself that these were all virus-infected zombies, not her students.
Stepping on the accelerator, she directly ran over the zombies blocking the way, swaying to the school gate.
Misaka Mikoto, controlling electromagnetism, directly blasted open the gate.
However, as they prepared to continue towards their destination, Takagi Saya's mansion, Shiraishi Kawa, who was sitting in the passenger seat, signaled Marikawa Shizuka to stop the school bus.
"I have something to take care of."
Under the bewildered gazes of Takagi Saya and Miyamoto Rei, he pushed open the passenger door, holding a staff wrapped in gray cloth.
As magic power continuously poured into the staff, the gray cloth fell directly to the ground.
The wooden staff, filled with power, emitted an aura of energy, and the red orb at its tip had become dazzling.
"…"
Misaka Mikoto, her face solemn, looked through the window at Shiraishi Kawa, who stood alone at the school gate facing countless dead bodies. Her pupils contracted.
"What are you trying to do?"
Looking at the countless dead bodies ahead, and a teacher, Shido Koichi, running for his life, Shiraishi Kawa spoke with a cheerful tone, smiling.
"To the beautiful world, dedicate Explosion Magic!"
