Divided by monster destruction levels, the Explosion Magic that Rin condensed with all his might, spending nearly a quarter of an hour, had already reached the level of a Special A-Rank instant burst of all magicules.
If it's hard to understand, one can consider Rin's Explosion Magic to be equivalent to the destruction caused by a Special A-Rank monster self-destructing.
A Special A-Rank monster, with over 100,000 magicules, is a power far beyond what Rin can imagine right now.
However, by relying on ultimate control over Explosion Magic...
Rin, with a C+ rank foundation, managed to accomplish such an incredible feat.
This shows the potential of Explosion Magic, and the immense boost provided by the Mage profession.
"Quickly, now, Ogerpon!"
So many monsters that had lost their combat capability were the best food for Ogerpon.
Without Rin's command, Ogerpon seized the opportunity and directly used area-of-effect magic (Pokémon moves).
Almost at the same moment, Seed Bomb and Leaf Storm swept across the battlefield, and energy balls rained down like drops, shattering the severely wounded Insect Monsters.
[Defeated C+ Rank Monster x15, gained 120 Existence Points]
[Defeated B- Rank Monster x8, gained 160 Existence Points]
[Defeated B Rank Monster x4, gained 400 Existence Points]
The notifications of gaining large amounts of magicules were like the most beautiful music in the world, almost making Rin unable to suppress the corners of his mouth and laugh out loud. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fiɾe·net
[Individual name 'Ogerpon' Existence Points reached 10,000, triggering evolution]
Reaching 10,000 Existence Points so quickly was indeed somewhat beyond Rin's expectations.
But what surprised Rin even more was the "evolution" notification triggered by Ogerpon.
As a Pokémon, Ogerpon was already in her final form and could not evolve again.
"So, the evolution here should be a monster transforming into a higher-grade monster."
Ogerpon, who was in the middle of the battlefield, glowed with dazzling light.
The little one was a bit at a loss.
Fortunately, Rin immediately sent a message, telling her about the monster evolution mechanism.
"Ogerpon is going to evolve?"
Any Pokémon holds hope for evolution.
Ogerpon also really wanted to know what she would become after evolving.
[Individual Name 'Ogerpon', evolved from 'Elemental Spirit' to 'Kijin']
Looking at Ogerpon again, the little one, who was originally only 1.2 meters tall, had now grown to just over 1.5 meters.
In terms of appearance, her original orange face was gone, replaced by a delicate, pale face that looked slightly youthful.
Her green cloak had become a jade-colored kimono, and the girl's hands were hidden beneath wide sleeves. She had long, light-green hair, and the wooden clogs on her legs, wrapped in black silk, made a crisp tap-tap sound as she ran toward Rin.
"Rin! Rin! Ogerpon's grown so much!"
Ogerpon blinked her beautiful, light-golden eyes, the star patterns within them sparkling, as if possessing infinite magic, drawing Rin's gaze.
"This is a monster's evolution."
Rin affectionately stroked Ogerpon's head, and she immediately showed a comfortable expression.
At the same time, Rin opened Ogerpon's status panel.

"The race has become Kijin."
There's nothing much to say about this.
According to the Cardinal World's setting, Elemental Spirits and the Ogre Clan are at the same stage, both B-Rank demons.
The first evolution will turn them into A-Rank Kijin, and then Special A-Rank Wicked Oni or Fair Oni.
Wicked Oni and Fair Oni are like the difference between a warrior and a mage.
The former excels in melee combat, the latter in magic, but essentially they are still at the same level of existence.
As Wicked Oni and Fair Oni continuously grow stronger, they will acquire the title of Demon Lord and be recognized by the world's voice, becoming qualified to evolve into True Demon Lords.
Thus, as long as enough souls are collected, they can transform into Demon Lords, becoming "Oni Gods."
Of course, this process is quite difficult.
Especially for someone like Ogerpon.
Because she is Rin's subordinate, she cannot awaken on her own.
Rin needs to collect souls and bestow them upon Ogerpon for her to become a True Demon Lord.
"Appraisal and melee skills?"
Ogerpon originally didn't have these two abilities, but now they've appeared.
"Is it because of me?"
Rin remembered that in the original work, there was a setting where Rimuru would randomly inherit Veldora's abilities after naming his subordinate monsters.
"Ogerpon's situation should be ."
"During the evolution process, she inherited some abilities from me."
Rin thought to himself, "The Appraisal skill allows Ogerpon to better understand her opponents, and the melee combat mastery from Konosuba makes Ogerpon, who is already skilled in close combat, even more formidable."
"Elemental Super Absorption, Ability Super Enhancement, Super-Speed Regeneration."
"Super Absorption and Super Enhancement are advanced forms of Elemental Absorption and Ability Enhancement, giving Ogerpon higher magic resistance and faster magicule absorption efficiency.
"Ability Super Enhancement should be a derivative of traits like 'Never Give Up.'"
As for the Magicules Solidification and Super-Speed Regeneration that follow.
Super-Speed Regeneration needs no further explanation; it's a self-recovery ability even more terrifying than that of the Ogre Clan.
According to the feedback from the Appraisal skill, Super-Speed Regeneration has the characteristic that as long as the head isn't severed, one cannot be killed.
In addition, it also has powerful functions such as limb regeneration and internal organ repair.
"Magicules Solidification—is it like me, where I can convert magicules into various basic attributes in the form of 'levels'?"
The magicules in the Cardinal World, and their relationship with monsters, is more like a pond and the water within it.
The pond water does not reinforce the pond itself.
So, an individual with 10,000 magicules, facing an individual with 10,000,000 magicules.
The difference in their physical strength is not as exaggerated as imagined.
In contrast, with the Magicules Solidification ability, a situation will arise where a Level 50 fights a Level 100.
Even if a Level 100 monster runs out of magic power, its basic attributes are not something a mere Level 50 weakling can contend with.
