"Livia-san and Arute, you two go back first with High-Tier Teleportation Magic. I still need to ask Sir Xia Na to do some follow-up work!" Ellie said.
The final work still had to be done by herself. After all, this had been planned from the beginning. Of course, if Sir Xia Na knew that move, she could do it.
"Follow-up work?" Livia-san looked at Ellie and Sir Xia Na with a puzzled expression. Sir Xia Na hadn't heard of any follow-up work either, but given that she knew Ellie's true identity, she nodded in cooperation.
"Yes, there's still some follow-up work to do," Sir Xia Na said quietly.
"Then you two hurry up… I'll take Arute and these two back first. You two hurry too!" Although Livia-san and Arute both looked suspicious, they didn't ask further and immediately used High-Tier Teleportation Magic to teleport away. Now, only Ellie and Sir Xia Na were left on the scene.
"Now you should believe me, right?" After seeing Livia-san and the others teleport away, Ellie turned to Sir Xia Na and said.
In the time since discovering the Ranch, she had almost no time to be alone with her. Now that she finally had the chance, she deliberately stayed behind, but not just to talk to Sir Xia Na. This was only one of Ellie's goals, a secondary one.
"You kept me to do follow-up work just to tell me this?" Sir Xia Na asked calmly.
"Not just this, it's just a side question. There's something more important to do. Now, seeing the humans imprisoned here should prove that I wasn't lying, right!" Ellie stretched, making some unclear movements that looked like warm-up exercises, but in reality, she was just limbering up, as she was about to unleash a big move.
"…I've always believed you," Sir Xia Na replied, but she was met only with Ellie's half-smile.
"If you believe me, why do you constantly stare at me? Your piercing gaze has almost never left me… I haven't done anything bad, well! I can understand you, so I won't blame you, but from now on, do less of this obvious monitoring. Arute is starting to suspect me." Ellie said, taking out a magic ring from her spatial bag and putting it on.
"I'll be more careful in the future…" Sir Xia Na naturally noticed Ellie's action of putting on the ring, her gaze fixed on the ring on Ellie's finger.
"Then, I look forward to your guidance from now on. So… let's begin the real follow-up work. Let's leave here first and go outside… High-Tier Teleportation Magic! Activate!" As soon as Ellie finished speaking, she immediately activated High-Tier Teleportation Magic, teleporting both herself and Sir Xia Na outside the Ranch, which was their previous campsite outside the Ranch.
"…" Sir Xia Na, who was teleported out of the Ranch with her, looked at Ellie thoughtfully. She probably hadn't expected Ellie to actually know High-Tier Teleportation Magic!
After all, Ellie was only level one a while ago. Although her level had indeed increased along the way, no one had taught her magic. Though, after transmigrating, she didn't even know how to learn magic in the first place.
Originally, in games, to learn magic, one first needed to reach the required professional or racial level to learn through mentors, books, or similar means. Some rare magic required collecting scrolls or completing a series of very difficult quests to learn.
However, after transmigrating, the game interface couldn't even be brought up. Using magic wasn't by clicking, but by imagination. So, Sir Xia Na herself had considered this problem, but couldn't figure out a solution, and so she gave up thinking about it.
"Curious? You'll know soon enough." Ellie naturally noticed Sir Xia Na's gaze, and deliberately waved her ring-adorned hand in front of Sir Xia Na before turning to face the Ranch.
"Now! Witness my power! Darkness blacker than black, darker than dark, I entrust my crimson golden light here! The time of awakening has come, the absurd church's fallen doctrine, manifest as an invisible distortion! Dance, dance, dance! The collapse of the origin of my power, an unparalleled collapse, burn all things in heaven and earth to ashes, descend from the abyss! This is humanity's most powerful attack method, this is the ultimate attack magic, Explosion!"
After striking a very chuunibyou pose, Ellie uttered extremely chuunibyou lines, then directed her most powerful Explosion Magic at the Ranch.
Indeed, leveling up had a significant impact on Explosion Magic. Previously, her Explosion Magic was, at best, a super degraded version of Skyfall, with a power probably only about one-tenth of Skyfall.
Although, considering the impact of the blast and heatwave after the explosion, it might be slightly larger than Skyfall, the Explosion Magic Ellie now unleashed was incomparable to before.
During its casting, the air compression phase alone generated a powerful hurricane strong enough to sweep everything into the explosion's center. Even at the edge of the forest where Ellie stood, far from the Ranch, the trees at the forest's edge were swayed violently by the strong wind.
Sir Xia Na herself didn't know what magic Ellie was going to cast, so she lost her footing and almost fell. The subsequent explosion produced a towering pillar of fire that swept in all directions, followed by an astonishing heatwave that even Ellie herself hadn't anticipated.
To prevent her eyebrows and hair from being singed off, Ellie quickly used Unclean Impact Shield as a shield to defend against the terrifying heatwave. Sir Xia Na also used defensive magic to resist it, and then the trees behind Ellie suffered.
After the heatwave subsided, Ellie looked back at the trees behind her. They were either knocked down by the strong winds from the explosion or blackened by the heatwave… some of the smaller branches were even carbonized.
This showed how powerful the current Explosion Magic was. If only considering attack power, it might still not be as good as Skyfall, but in terms of destructive power… this level far surpassed Skyfall.
"Are you planning to kill me to silence me?" Sir Xia Na asked calmly after the blast ended.
"If I really wanted to kill you to silence you, why would I stand here with you and blow ourselves up? It was just a miscalculation of this move's power. I didn't expect this move to have such strong destructive power. I'll have to be a bit more careful in the future." Ellie said, looking at the ruins that were once the Ranch, after being subjected to her ultimate Explosion Magic.
Of course… the latter part was for Ellie herself. She really needed to be more careful when releasing this skill.
