The increase in the Archmage profession level was within Shiraishi Kawa's expectations, after all, so many dead bodies were gathered here.
Direct carpet bombing.
In the early stages, when not much experience was needed, his level soared to Lv4.
"The core skill of the Magic Spring... it solves the problem of running out of mana."
The Explosion Magic skill learned from Megumin, its power needs no explanation. If there's any problem, it's the immense mana consumption.
Megumin, who originally mastered the skill, a Crimson Demon with an extremely vast mana reserve, would typically be completely exhausted after using the skill.
When his mana value is completely depleted, he can recover 10% per minute, but the recovery effect will slow down as his mana increases. Shiraishi Kawa roughly estimated that using Explosion Magic would require 30 minutes of charging.
"Lord God."
Concentrating on driving the school bus, Marikawa Shizuka's mood was exceptionally calm regarding the dead bodies on the surrounding roads, having witnessed Shiraishi Kawa's strength firsthand.
Lord God walking among men.
"The road is a bit congested. The school bus isn't particularly convenient. How about we go to my friend's house first? She has a Hummer in her garage."
"Don't use that title."
Being treated as a Kami-sama, Shiraishi Kawa quickly shook his head. With his current strength, he was still infinitely far from being a so-called god.
"You can just call me by my name."
"Why?"
To Marikawa Shizuka, an ordinary school nurse, Shiraishi Kawa's strength already rivaled that of a god, so she felt her use of the title was perfectly reasonable.
"Because I'm not that strong yet."
"Oh."
Controlling the steering wheel with one hand, Marikawa Shizuka touched her cheek with a puzzled expression and said something startling: "Did Shiraishi-kun really meet a god?"
"Sort of."
Who said a goddess of wisdom isn't a goddess?
Shiraishi Kawa nodded gently. Although her intelligence and luck were a bit low, Aqua was, after all, the Goddess of Water from the heavens.
Setting aside her strength for now, that was her identity.

After the zombie virus outbreak, the city's environment was in complete chaos. Collisions between vehicles were everywhere, causing fires that burned them into empty shells.
Corpses with their flesh gnawed away.
In this apocalyptic world where city order had completely collapsed, thugs attacked humans with brute force, wantonly destroying things before their inevitable deaths.
"It really is chaotic..."
Miyamoto Rei, who hadn't recovered from the deaths of the two simps, looked at the constantly changing scenery outside the window. Not dying in Fujimi Academy was a stroke of luck for her.
And she didn't have to worry too much about her safety for a short time, with Shiraishi Kawa, whose strength rivaled a god's, and Busujima Saeko, a senior skilled in swordsmanship.
What about the future... Miyamoto Rei couldn't help but ponder. If she wanted to survive, she had to cling tightly to Shiraishi Kawa's coattails, but what did she mean to him?
"..."
Miyamoto Rei's mood grew more and more agitated. As the school bus braked sharply, her forehead almost hit the seat in front. She looked at Marikawa Shizuka, who had stopped the bus.
The latter's tone was very lighthearted.
Marikawa Shizuka pointed to a detached house to the side, explaining, "This is my good friend's house. If I remember where the key is..."
"We won't need to find shelter tonight."
"Okay."
Busujima Saeko, Takagi Saya, and even Miyamoto Rei had no objections, especially since Shiraishi Kawa, the leader of the group, had already left the passenger seat.
They quickly followed suit.
Takagi Saya even wanted to go over and apologize for her initial bad attitude, but when she saw Shiraishi Kawa and Misaka Mikoto, who clearly knew each other, she dismissed the idea.
"The group rescue mission should be completed once Busujima Saeko is taken to a safe shelter. What are your plans next?"
Shiraishi Kawa glanced at Misaka Mikoto and asked with a light laugh.
As an Academy City Lv5 esper, if Misaka Mikoto stayed away for too long, there was a high probability that the Chairman would catch her.
Even with the Dimensional Chat Group's rule correction, staying away for too long was ultimately not good.
"I'll leave once the mission is complete."
This was not Misaka Mikoto's world. It was unfamiliar, with no connections. Moreover, her goal in taking the group rescue mission was to earn points.
She carefully examined Shiraishi Kawa and finally couldn't help but ask, "Before becoming a Holy Sword User, were you really an Ordinary High School Student?"
"That's right."
A transmigrator with a proficiency panel as a golden finger cheat, in his main world, he really was an Ordinary High School Student, just occasionally moonlighting as an exorcist.
Shiraishi Kawa nodded with a smile. As for whether he would become a "Hero" later, that depended on whether he could find that guy's whereabouts in the Goblin Slayer World.
As for higher-dimensional professions, he could only wait for new faces to appear in the Dimensional Chat Group if he wanted to strive for them.
Following Marikawa Shizuka's footsteps, and clearing out the dead bodies around the house along the way, they arrived at her good friend Minami Rika's house.
She bent down and fumbled for a key from under the doormat.
When she suddenly stood up, Marikawa Shizuka's voluptuous figure made Shiraishi Kawa realize why the Earth is round. As the security door opened,
he waited for Busujima Saeko to enter.
"Current Chat Group member rescue mission has ended, rewards are being settled... Congratulations to Chat Group members 'Ordinary High School Student' and 'Railgun' for receiving 200 points."
"Finally, the mission is complete."
The rewards were quite generous.
However, Shiraishi Kawa already had a relatively complete plan for the specific distribution of points: both the Apocalypse World and the Konosuba World needed to have inter-world teleportation anchor points.
These two expenses alone would drain all his points.
"Mm."
The silent Misaka Mikoto nodded lightly, having no intention of staying longer. Before leaving, she cast her gaze towards Shiraishi Kawa, mostly in appraisal.
Although she was very reluctant to admit it,
Shiraishi Kawa's current strength was indeed greater than her own, especially his speed in close-quarters combat. She wasn't sure if he was holding back, making it difficult to pinpoint his attack targets.
Even with electromagnetic iron sand for defense,
if this guy, after creating distance, used a special skill to restrict her, and then unleashed that extremely powerful move... Finally,
she let out a soft huff and said in a relaxed tone, "If we have a chance to meet next time, leave the specific missions to me."
"..."
Watching Misaka Mikoto leave, Shiraishi Kawa's mood unconsciously brightened. Although tsundere types were somewhat out of fashion and not as popular, they were still quite interesting.
He shifted his gaze to inside the house.
The women, each with their own unique personalities and figures, curiously explored Minami Rika's mansion. After all, he had been busy rescuing for most of the day.
It was about time... for him to enjoy himself, wasn't it?
