Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master
chapter-347

Chapter 347 – Piercing the Sun

“Gouda…… I’ve never seen him like this before…… a, ah, hathathat!? Wh, what? It’s getting really hot!”

“Th…… the temperature changed? Is that the heat Gouda gives off? Even though it’s so far away, I feel like I’ll get burned too……

“What heat…… th, that’s…… the power of the Six Supremacy…… of Lord Gouda……”

“One can scarcely even touch such a thing now, can they?”

Is the countdown on for Gouda, who was about to explode?

“Ooooooooh, it’s boiling! Burning up! A scorching great eruptiiiiiiiiiioooon!”

The color of the magma-like red mass that was throbbing in his chest had spread to Gouda’s pitch-black outer shell.

Gouda’s entire body was tinted in a magma-like color, and his body was filled with overwhelming heat.

Is this some sort of Gouda-style breakthrough?

“This is me…… Burning Lord Goudaaaaaaah! Rock ‘n’ Roll!!”

With Gouda’s roar, the surrounding area turned into scorching air.

Sweat gushed out all at once, and a haze or mirage appeared around me, distorting my surroundings.

“Uruaaaaah! Burning Paaaaaanch!”

“Huh!?”

Gouda swung his fist from out of range. The fist itself couldn’t reach me.

But so far, shockwaves have been sent out just from the pressure of his fist.

And from now on……

“Whoa, no way!?”

A huge pillar of fire flew out from Gouda’s fist with the shockwave.

“Uooooh, if I do this, it’ll be hot over there too, uguraaaaaaaaah!!

This time, he opened his mouth wide and… huh? The light… geh!?

“【Buuuuuuuuurning Breeeeeaaaaaaath】!!

Somehow, a flash of magma shot out from his mouth.

No, no, what kind of magic is this, without chanting!?

“Gouda breathed fire out of his mouth!?”

“It’s worse than a fire dragon’s breath!”

“Giga-class without chanting…… no, it’s more …….”

“…We must withdraw a bit further… lest we too melt away…”

It was a total volcanic eruption.

I don’t think it’ll stop until it swallows everything.

“【Great Magic Spiral Shiiiiiieeeld】!!”

I immediately activated the Great Magic Spiral on the spot and created a swirling defensive wall… impossible!

“tsu, oh, ooooooooooooooooohh!??”

The searing heat swept me away.

“Big brother!?”

“Wh, what power …….”

Not good. It’s frustrating, but my Great Magic Spiral was no longer a threat to this guy.

He might get hurt if I land it, but I guess he would easily smash it.

What ridiculous destructive power.

“Damn…… you actually did that…”

Strong.

This was the power of the Six Supremacy in a serious one-on-one fight with the intent to kill.

Even though the Great Magic Spiral reduced his power somewhat, I was still overwhelmed.

But……

“Gu, guaaaaaaaaaahh, my tongue buuurns, my teeth are melting!”

This guy…… with his every attack, Gouda got hurt too……

“Ha, haha, what a guy…… he hurt himself too…… come on, that’s pretty reckless, isn’t it?”

“Tch…… Hah~, hah~…… gahahahahahaha! Well… it can’t be helped. Since you’re such a fiery punk, it would suck if I didn’t get fired up too!”

“Huh!?”

I laughed sheepishly, and Gouda forced a smile from pain and talked to me.

What can I say…… more than the temperature of this place, the words just now made my body hotter from the inside……

“Hehe, hehe…… exactly…… you’re really awesome, you’re …….”

“That’s obvious, you idiot! You just figuring that out?”

“Are you just figuring out that I’m a stupid idiot?”

“Gahahahahahahahahahah! I may be an idiot, but that’s fine, cause I rock!”

Why am I so happy in such a dangerous situation?

No, it’s only natural, isn’t it?

It’s not like Jamdi’el, Paripi, or Norja, who held back so they don’t kill me or were just playing around.

The Six Supremacy, who came at me with true sincerity and even wielded power to the point of risking even himself to come at me, recognized me.

But……

“So, well…… my bad, but…… this heat…… won’t last…… not for long.”

“…… Gouda …… Huh!?”

Gouda, usually so bold, showed a somewhat lonely smile for the first time.

That’s right, this moment won’t last forever.

It’s fleetingly short.

But that was always understood.

“I know I’m all messed up now, but listen to meeeee, listen to my sooooong! There will be no encooooore!!”

There was still no sign of the Allied Forces coming. In other words, no matter what happens now, Gowda will not be able to inflict any damage to the Allied Forces.

Now all that’s left to do is……

“Yeah, me too… let’s sing together!”

“…… Ah~?”

If we quickly evacuate from this place to the basement with everyone, we won’t die.

But I can’t run away.

In fact, dodging around like before won’t work with this attack.

Because this blow carried a different weight from the previous ones.

If I don’t respond to this, what sort of disciple would I be?

What kind of……

“I’ll go all ooooooouut, Goudaaaa!”

“Oh yeah…… thanks…… Earth. Certainly…… you’re totally not like Hiro…… that fool couldn’t feel the vibes, he wants everyone to work together, or to be righteous, or to use the power of light, or whatever…… Gahahahaha, you wanna sing with me? ……that’s the first time anyone’s ever said that to me!”

“Obviously. The Hero Hiro may be strong, but he’s an airheaded idiot who can’t read the mood, and I’m sure he won’t be able to properly raise a child in the future, so don’t lump me in with him!”

“Gahahahahahaha! Let’s do it then! But punk, can you keep up with my rock?!”

“I’ll follow you! Wherever you go!”

I’m going to respond to this guy’s final moments.

Then Gouda flew up.

Up, up into the sky, and much higher.

Dyed by a great red flame……

“Oooooooh, this is my full power!”

At this point, it’s like the sun. Is he really going to fall here in that state?

“It’s hoooooooooooooott!! Uggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”

The sky turned a scorching color, and Gouda fell from the sky.

You can tell just by looking at it.

This whole area will be obliterated……

“【Great Magic Spiral, Earth, Spiral!”

But no. I can’t win with that.

“I need something…… even …… bigger!”

It has to be more powerful…… but in theory, that’s impossible.

When it came to releasing magic, the number of magic holes was what mattered.

The number of magic holes determines the amount of magic power that can be released for a single spell.

In other words, this was my limit right now.

It was impossible to increase the number of magic holes in this instant.

“Damn it…… I have no choice but to do it with just this left arm…… eeeeerr, that’s reckless! I put everything I have into this left arm……put everything …… Huh?”

It was a momentary flash of inspiration.

My Great Magic Spiral so far. In the breakthrough state, I concentrated all the magic power in my body into my left arm to create the spiral.

Then, what about the other parts of the body?

Since it was concentrated on the arm, the rest of the body would be empty of magic power.

If that’s the case, what will happen if I apply Magical Breathing only to those other parts?

Earlier in the fight, I was able to concentrate magic power on my head and other parts of my body.

Then could Magical Breathing also……

『Hoh! So you have arrived there on your own…… Child!』

I saw something like it in my fight with Mr. Machio, and now with Gouda.

A way of fighting that involves partially enlarging the muscles or enlarging the entire body.

Then, I……

“【Partial Magical Breathing】!!”

I could do it.

“Uoooh, oh, oh, ha, it’s coming in! Even more magic power! Now, focus it all and put it on the left arm again! And use Partial Magic Breathing again!”

As compensation for the Great Magic Spiral, which wrapped all magic power on my arms, the magic power in parts of my body other than my arm was reduced to zero, so I could take in magic power in areas other than my left arm with Magical Breathing.

Then, the newly accepted magic power was again released from the left arm and clung to the Great Magic Spiral, and the magic power that had been emptied except for the left arm would take in more with Magical Breathing.

“Uooh, oh, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohh!!”

“O, oh, oooooh, what’s that!?”

Magic was released from the magic hole.

Therefore, the power of magic released “instantaneously” was determined by the number of magic holes.

But what happens if you keep supplying magic power continuously like this, at least the amounts you can release at once?

『Tis so! Theoretically, the Great Magic Spiral can be enhanced permanently! The greater the amount of magic power released, the more extraordinary the concentration, skill, and physical effort required to maintain the shape of the spiral. However, the child originally mastered the Zone, and also mastered the Magical Radar at this age. As a result, concentration and skills have improved dramatically in this era…… the burden on the body that remains…… can be overcome with spirit and perseverance. As of now, this is your area of expertise…… However, I am in a neutral position regarding this battle. Do not get excited and forget your position……. keep calm and collected.』

If you keep accumulating it, releasing it, accumulating it, releasing it, accumulating it, and releasing it, it will gradually become something ridiculously big……

『However, tis impossible to remain calm. This land was once destroyed by the Great Demon Spiral of the Great Demon King…… and now…… tis born in the same land by the hands of one who uses the same technique! Burn it into your eyes, body, and soul, Gouda! This one…… is worthy of receiving your final moments…… same as you…… my―――――』

This will work!

A Great Magic Spiral that swelled up to the verge of bursting. My body might explode if I go any further than this… but I’ll go beyond that limit!

“Breaking the limit! 【Extreme Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral, Limit Break】!!”

“Complete Combustion, 【Sun Surface Super Explosiiiooon】!!”

I flew too. At the last moment, I made a big jump with magic power in both feet.

With a Great Magic Spiral that exceeded the limit, I thrust into the falling sun.

“Oooooooaaohh!!”

“Ugaaaaaaaaahh!!”

A collision.

I felt it.

The heat of the intersection between me and Gouda.

Our souls!

“Kuhahahahahahahahahahahahah! You…!!”

“Gahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Punk…!!”

A short time.

But we……

“”Isn’t this awesome?!””

I felt like we had a lifetime’s worth of conversations.

And……

At last, you can even pierce the sun…… and Gouda…… you were brilliant as well.”

I pierced the sun.

Beyond that, was a blue sky.

And……

“Ah… really… at… the end…”

“…… Gouda ……”

I looked back. Then there was Gouda, who had lost half of his body……

“I’m bursting with joy…… hey, Earth……”

“Gouda ……”

“It was fun… singing… in the end…… dying of old age… not exactly how a rock ‘n’ roller wants to go… but….”

“Old age…… I—”

“Old age……”

Losing my magic power and the strength of my whole body, I finally fell as I felt like I was about to fly.

『…… Not by the hand of a friend…… but instead, dying of old age…. you truly… so it seems… you did not die in battle… but of old age?』

And I got confused with Gouda, who smiled helplessly……

“Hey Seven Heroes braaaaaaaaat! Your punk brother is falling, so catch hiiiiiiim!”

“Gouda!?”

And Gouda screamed as if he was summoning the last ounce of his strength, and then, contrary to my falling, he willed himself higher up into the sky……

“Forgive…… me…… oh Great Demon King.”

『Tis I who should apologize…… I am sorry, Gouda. And I have witnessed it. You are undeniably the pride of the Demon Realm…… the pride of the Demon King Army…… and the pride of me…… I believe so from the bottom of my heart.』

That guy, no way!

“Huh!? Gouda, don’t apologize! In fact, the Great Demon King Tre’ainar is saying that… he is proud of you from the bottom of his heart!”

That bastard. Don’t get me caught up in an explosion at the last minute……

“Gahahahahahahahahahahahah! Thanks…and, ciao! In the end, I met…my soulmate!”

Then, far above, the sun scattered its last rays of light.
