The Green Light of The Gaia

Heero blurted out as he could not contain his thoughts. “Terran abandoned? Certainly, he was hesitant about becoming an Imperial Knight, but… he also stopped aiming for me and Akari.”

AKari said, “I left it to Sadie. That girl was so determined, what is this.”

After hearing my words my father and mother were murmuring while casting their eyes down. Sadie, who had seen me more than anyone else, was so shocked she stopped cheering.

She said, “Little man, all this time… what have been doing.”

Finally, I’ll have you saying well done, so please watch me! To do that, I have to beat this guy in front of me.

At that moment, Reval, who had been upset and trembling until now, suddenly fell silent. At the same time, the air has apparently changed. Rather than being quiet, it’s as if he jumped into a deep sea of thought.

Reval said, “Let’s go, Terran. This time, I’m moving. Can you follow?”

Enuma was enamored, "Ho! That Second Sword Saint, he accessed it."

At that time, Enuma, who was watching from up high muttered, somewhat impressed by Reval.

I asked, "…accessed?"

Enuma explained, "Have I not mentioned this before? Humans usually only exert about 30% of their full capabilities. However, it is possible to draw out the upmost limit of one’s ability when in extreme danger, such as being at the verge of death in the scene of a fire. However, there are some individuals in the world who intentionally access that state. By frequently experiencing crisis situations and scenes of carnage, the body and spirit can imprint the sensation of that time and enter the situation."

Oh, speaking of which, I’ve heard of that. By drawing out such hidden power of their own volition, they can draw out power several times more potent than usual.

Enuma confirmed, "This is referred as entering the zone."

Zone. In other words, that’s what Reval learned during his period of study abroad. No, the state he finally arrived at.

Enuma calculated the situation, "I see. Tis about 1.3% stronger than I assumed."

Reval shouted, “Imperial Sword Gale Fang!”

Fast! The moment I thought about it, a shock came over my shoulder.

I stumbled is surprise, “Ah, tch ch!?”

Reval taunted, “I’ve finally got you, Terran.”

The moment my body reacted to avoid it, his sword had already hit me in the shoulder. This guy! Beyond my dynamic vision and prediction!?

It’s dangerous. I need to keep a distance. However, I got hit so easily. In training with Enuma, I don’t react after seeing it, but I trained to look ahead to the other person’s shoulders, muscles, eyes, legs, and everything, but I didn’t realize Rival started moving.

Enuma said, "Even with the boy’s pre-reading, there is a slight delay in the reaction. A thrust which has eliminated all useless power and habits. It must have been gained through much harsh training and many bloody battles."

I replied, "But if it’s training, I’ve done as much.

Enuma explained, "Two months and most of all, the boy has never truly experienced actual battle, No matter how much you continue to spar, the actual battle is still different. For the boy who has yet to experience an exchange with life on the line in the truest sense of the word."

It’s a heavy load for me. Enuma’s words weigh heavily on me, but Reval chases after me unaware of my situation. I tried to keep my distance in the backstep, and I immediately gained some room.

Reval shouted, “Imperial Sword Flash Meteor Blade!!”

A series of attacks. A high-speed slash attack that gives the illusion of multiple swords being drawn out at the same time. This is clearly faster than the previous technique! In the peripheral field of view, the angle of the hand, the handle, the movement of the arm, somehow evade…evade…I can’t!

I called out, “So, it’s out, high level skill, meteor sword! Reval’s real power at last! I can’t see it!”

At this rate, I can’t win now.

Enuma confirmed it,  "There is no winning for the boy in his current state."

If this was not a sword with a blunt blade for the mock battle, but seriously done, my whole body would have been chopped into pieces. This is Reval’s resolve. The power of a genius who strives. 

At that moment, the voice in my heart matched Enuma. We both said at same time, "There is no winning, not as it is now!!"

Reval stopped and asked, “What? What are you laughing at, Terran! Have you given up the match?”

Am I laughing? In this situation, am I? Maybe that’s the case. Or maybe, but I’m not the only one. I’m sure that’s probably because Enuma is laughing now.

He looked like he was in a good mood as he spoke. Enuma cheerfully asked me. "Boy. I shall ask once again. Who were you before?"

As the pain was being engraved all over my body from Reval's slashes. “I used to be just the son the Hero”

Reval felt something in my sudden solitude. Terran?”

Enuma asked again, "Then, who are you now?"

I declared, “I’m your disciple”

Enuma said, "This is so, but as a disciple, have you no notion of your standing? The first and last disciple of the Demon King Enuma."

I replied, “I know”

Enuma asked, "And what will you be from this day forth?"

I said, “It’s decided!”

I’m the son of a hero. Not wrong.

Reval said, “You’ve been mumbling for a while now! Are you serious about this fight, Terran?”

I am the Demon King’s disciple. That’s not wrong either. But from now on, I’m going to be a new me, all that way.

I said, “New, and true me!”

Enuma quite cheerful said, "Yes! Show it to everyone! Go, Terran!!"

It was the first time Enuma has ever mentioned my name since we met. I don’t know if there was a deep meaning there.

He just called my name.

Enuma, who had only called me ‘boy’ and had only seen me as the son of hero, called my name.

What? This uplifting feeling. That made me so happy.

It’s just that I got this hot urge just to be called by my name. I don’t feel like losing! Even if it’s still incomplete.

I shout out, “Let’s go, this is me, Reval!”

In exchange for severe pain, the magic holes of my whole body which I intentionally pried open. From the magic tank of the body, pull out a large amount of magic power, and keep it cloaked to the whole body.

Breakthrough Mode.

Poh sensed the pool of Magic, said, “This wave of magical power, What? What does this mean!?”

Uriko asked, “What? What’s wrong with you, Poh?”

Poh said, “From Terran's body? The amount of magical power being released. I should be able to do it, but why!?”

Even if there is magical power, it is not possible to release it without corresponding magic holes. The original number of the magic holes which were open in me was below Poh’s.

Therefore, it is not possible to do so. But I can. Because I forced the number of open magic holes to increase.

Poh shouted, “This power! Why is Terran.. How did he do that?”

Overflowing magical power itself. Aura of magic a shining green aura!

The emperor said, “That light, the Demon King but the color is different. But it’s similar!”

Heero said, “Oh, The Demon King Enuma’s light was red in color. But certainly there’s a resemblance.”

As expected, both father and mother, and His Majesty lean forward as they watch.

Enuma said, "Yes, the color of the magic differs from mine. As you mentioned at the beginning, you were proficient with the Earth Attribute. The green light of the Gaia, full of life. Heero and other heroes fought against me, but do not know the name or principle of the mode, so it is similar. Then you will have nothing to worry about."

The only concern was whether my parents would think I could use the power of the Demon King, but it was unnecessary.

In addition, Enuma’s says his own actual fighting style is completely different from what I exhibited today, so I don’t think they’ll realize the connection between us.

All I have to do is show it to you. To Sadie and the Princess

Sadie eyes are teary, “This power is… Little man.”

Uriko's eyes were full of stars, said, “Terran… How warm and beautiful Light”

I called out, “To you too, Reval!”

The body is lighter than before, full of power, it’s hot, buzzing and even thoughts are faster.

Enuma reminded me, "Do not forget? Ninety seconds, right?"

I said, “10 seconds!!”

I don’t think I’m going to stop anymore! With a battle cry, “Soraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left!

It is different from the flicker from before, that just frustrates the opponent. Reval panicked “Oh, oh!?”

Resonate to the opponent’s core. A method to hit without dispersing the impact, by sustainably hitting a single spot again and again.

Now, Terran started hitting again. Just a left punch, Reval can’t escape!.  When a weird light had wrapped Terran. He became much faster than before. The attack is too fast to see! 

Reval reacted, “Gu, can’t avoid it… impossible! I’m in the God Concentration.”

If anything, I’ll beat you with this one left! Thoroughly. 

Heero said, “Th-This is Terran? Terran had this power.”

It’s fast and the left fist is penetrating! Reval can’t prevent damage even if he guards.

Akari said, “It’s like a hammer with the sharpness of a spear. This is Terran’s real power?”

Yes, look more, Dad, Mom! 

Uriko said, “I don’t know, the Terran that I’ve fought so far. What’s going on?”

Poh said, “It’s too strong, I thought we were strong and came back to challenge… I can’t believe that Terran was so strong.”

Saidie murmured, “Little man”

Sadie, watch me more! I let out another battle cry “Ruaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

The sensation that remains in the fist. The sound of the bones as they are broken. Reval can only utter, “Gu, u, guu!?”

My heart is slightly shaken while continuing to beat my childhood friend’s face as he cannot react to anything. 

Yes, Reval’s eyes aren’t dead yet. With swordsmanship, fighting spirit and vows all his mind, Reval howls. “Ku, gu, u… Uoooooooooooooooh!!!!”

That’s not for show. The more he tries to blow me away, the more the air ripples, and cracks run into the walls of the arena.

I taunt him, “Hey, you’re still good!”

Reval admitted, “Haa, ha… Strong. No way I didn’t think you would be this strong. But I won’t lose! You’re going to lose! In this first round. I will draw on all my strength, I won’t lose!”

Reval is also trying to do everything. Enuma muttered, but I knew without being told. "Hey, boy… this is a blow of a sword that spreads widely. Even if you avoid the blade, you will be blown away by the shockwave that follows? If true best to keep a certain distance and avoid it."

Reval shouted,  “Can you handle this? Terran! It brought down a fire dragon, earned me the title of Dragon Slayer, my strongest sword!”

If that is the case, I declared, “It doesn’t matter. I’m not here to lose, either. In any form, no matter what anyone says. This is who I am now! So, I’ll take my victory now!”

To do this in breakthrough mode, Fang of Heavenly Light • Meteor Flash Screw Attack.
