Chapter 344: Man
“…… Arsu? …… Earth? Is that, Big brother’s name?”
“Espie, you didn’t know!? No, it’s true that we’ve always called him Brother…”
“Not Ragan-man…… …… Earth Lagann… Huh? Lagann? I believe Lagann is the same family as Hiro…… is he from the same family as Hiro?!?”
“…… Heh~……”
At this moment, I’m going to give it everything I’ve got.
The legendary Six Supremacy. The existence that was a rival of my parents.
So far, I’ve traded blows with Jamdi’el, Paripi, Norja, and Hakuki.
But looking back, I wasn’t fighting alone.
Against Jamdi’el and Norja, it took two people with advice from Tre’ainar.
For Paripi, not only Tre’ainar, but also support from Sadiz, Mr. Machio, and Phianse.
As for Hakuki, I can’t say that we fought.
In other words. This will be the first time.
“Let’s go, Gouda!”
I said I would fight alone.
It’s not only that I won’t need the support of Espie, Slayer, Larou’iph, or the Chieftain.
I won’t even take Tre’ainar’s advice here.
『Indeed. You will have to push forward with all your might!』
Truly, I will fight with my own strength.
This is the first match between me and a Six Supremacy.
“Lagann? Ah~…… It’s that damn name, ain’t it? I’m gonna stomp on you and crush you down!”
Gouda has gotten bigger. Much bigger. Just like Norja.
The muscles that have swollen up to the point where you can see them, you can feel the tremendous power.
If you add not only his strength but also his weight, his destructive power should be incomparable to that of Mr. Aka and Mr. Machio.
But……
“Breakthrough!!”
“Uruaaaaaaaaaaaaeeh!!”
His swings were too big. The initial motion was fully telegraphed.
If it hits, death is inevitable…… I’m already used to such battles!
“Magical Footwork!”
“Anh?”
Huge feet stomped and caused tremors, and huge fists cracked the ground.
But, my core and footwork weren’t shaken by the slightest tremor.
I dodged the shattered rock debris and the rising dust.
In addition……
“【Great Demon Sonic Flicker】!”
“Hmm? Obueh!?”
I shot a shockwave towards Gouda’s eyeballs from his blind spot.
Gouda quickly blinked to block the attack on his eyeballs, but the veins on his forehead grew as he clearly got irritated.
“C’moooooooon?! You little punk! First you scuttle around, now you throw slaps?! I knew you were bluffing about taking me on. Still calling yourself a man!? Where are your damn b〇〇s!?”
“Shut up, I’m just getting warmed up!”
“Warmed up!? Don’t mess around, men don’t need warming up! Just go in as is and wreck shit up, like a man, man, maaaaaaaaaaan! Uooooooooh, I’m a man among meeeeeeeeen!!”
With his physique and durability, there’s no way to deal fatal damage with just a series of lefts.
But this was all just preparation for landing the big blow.
Move your feet and create a rhythm with your left.
Frustrated, Gouda threw more punches and stomps that left more openings.
Monotonous, sloppy, and easy to read.
“Ugaaa! Hmmkeeaaahhh! Nudryaaaaaah!”
Even so, he’s now a full-blown rampaging monster.
Uncontrollably violent, and yet, rather liberating.
In terms of sheer size, he was about the same as Norja.
But, his strength and destructive power were greater than Norja’s.
However, he doesn’t have the same complex movements or speed as Norja’s tails.
After concentrating and witnessing a few attacks, your eyes get used to it.
“Get the hell outta my face!!”
“Here!”
Gouda’s downward left shot hit the ground. But I ran around it.
The moment Gouda was about to pull back the punch that failed to land……
“【Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral, Phantom Sonic Impact】!!”
“――――――eh!?”
A counter-shockwave aimed at the moment the opponent pulls back their attacking arm.
A shockwave that aimed not simply at the blind spot of the opponent’s vision, but at the blind spot of the opponent’s consciousness.
The huge blow of the swirling Great Magic Spiral struck Gouda directly on his temple.
“…… ahn……?”
He was hit by the shockwave of the Great Demon Spiral…… but there was no sign of him being pierced or blown away.
Still, the sudden blow caused the huge Gouda to stagger and get down on one knee in front of me.
“Ah……”
“Yo…… that huge face has come much closer…… so I can smash it this time!”
“Huh!?”
Gouda’s face, which was big and high up, was so close that I could reach it if I jumped.
“Suha…… Breakthrough. And …….”
“N, nu!?”
After taking a breather with Magical Breathing, I activated the Breakthrough again and made a Great Magic Spiral.
Jumping, I jumped onto Gouda’s lap, since he was down on one knee, and used it as a stepping stone……
“【Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral, Breeeeeaaaak】!!!”
Instead of a shockwave, I’ll hit a huge magic spiral directly on that big face.
“【Beatles Head】!!!”
“Nuh!?”
In an instant, Gouda greeted me with a headbutt aimed about my head.
Rather than dodge, he jumped in……
“Tsu, go, ah, nuoooooooooooooooohh!!”
Hard! Heavy! Strong!!??
My body was blown away so easily it was ridiculous.
“Gah, ow, gu, ke, ke, geha!?”
I repeatedly hit the ground, rolled over, and the Great Demon Spiral that I attacked him with was shattered, causing severe pain and numbness in my right arm.
A dull pain ached all over my body……
“Big brother!?”
“Brother!”
Ouch. I didn’t expect to be hit back like that.
“Tsu… I never thought… there would be someone who would jump face-first into the Great Magic Spiral…….”
After all, he’s a monster, and it’s not going to be easy.
I felt pretty sure.
“I can’t take this anymore! Gouda, I’ll blow you away!”
“Brother, we’ll also―――”
“I told you to stay out of this, Espie! Slayer!”
So I’m not taking back what I said before.
“Espie, Slayer…… something like this…… if you’re going to fight one of the Six Supremacy, it’s a matter of course…… it’s something you should expect. So don’t make a fuss about it…… I was bounced back, but I haven’t lost yet.”
“Big brother…… but, but! You can’t do it alone!”
“Don’t worry. This is the task assigned to me alone. It’s not a matter of whether I can do it or not, it’s something I have to do.”
Stand up. No problem. I can still move. I have a lot of stamina left. The pain can be overcome with determination and perseverance.
“Oraa! I can still go, Gouda! I’ve got more than enough to give!”
I roared that I could still fight.
But on the other hand, Gouda, who had blown me away, looked at me as if he had calmed down, a complete change from his previous boisterousness.
“…… how can you use that technique? Punk, seriously…… What’s going on?”
The Great Demon Spiral? Breakthrough?
Even after losing control and going berserk, he still couldn’t help but wonder.
The truth…… I can’t say it in this state yet……
“Earth Lagann, just etch it in your mind for now.”
“…… Huh? I mean, Lagann…… Oh~ yes, that’s what you said…… Ah~…… Well, are you that damn hero…… Hiro’s brother? A relative?”
I am his son. But don’t lump me in with him.
“I may be related to the Hero, Hiro, by blood, but that doesn’t matter at all!
“…………………”
“It’s me! It’s not one of the Heroes who will see your end, it’s not a member of the Allied Forces, it’s just a man named Earth Lagann! You, watch me until the very end!!”
I’m not the son of a Hero. Look at me.
Look at me as a man, not as a title.
I told Gouda, one of the Six Supremacy, the feelings I had for the people around me for a long time.
Then Gouda said……
“Is that right…… I don’t really get it, but what I do get is… punk, you’ve got a lotta spirit… like a man’s man!”
Although his mind and body were already on the verge of collapse, Gouda still forced a smile on his face and said that to me.
