“Big brother…?”
“Yuugo… What are you doing…!?”
Yuugo apologized to Angel for not keeping their recent promise to not overdo it.
He did not respond to his little brother or his friends, he just walked forward and released magic energy from his whole body.
“Ahn…?”
Zaraki felt the immense magic energy being released, and stopped with an amused smile.
He turned to Yuugo, and spoke to the one that seemed to be purposefully provoking him.
“You’re jumping out because you can’t stand to watch your friends in trouble, right? But it’s pointless. Your attacks without loong power don’t work on me!”
“…I wonder.”
What Zaraki said was half right. Yuugo did not have a way to target Zaraki’s weakness of loong power, like Ryuuga or the combat miko.
However… He had a way to hurt Zaraki even without it.
If his attacks were strong enough to pierce that resistance, he could fight without loong power.
That was Yuugo’s method. The trump card he kept hidden.
Through his mighty Zanma Guren Blade and a lot of training, he learned the strongest technique. A trump card that could surpass it.
“You’re standing in front of me, so I assume you have the resolve to die!”
“Ah…! I never had that. But…”
He remembered when he died protecting a child from a random attacker.
When he saw the child cry, he felt strong regret.
When he reincarnated into this world, he swore to become a hero that would not make anyone else cry. He polished his power and became strong for this reason.
He was similar to how he was then, with one difference. And to show that resolve, he looked at Zaraki directly and stated it.
“I do if it’s to not let anyone die.”
Not just people he wanted to protect and people dear to him. That went for his own life as well.
That was why he felt guilty for breaking that promise, but as he vowed to protect his friends, he clenched his left fist and yelled.
“Super henshin!!”
The magic energy raged. Yuugo was enveloped in a crimson light, and his black iron armor changed shape.
Hard, heavy, thick… Many metal particles that made up the violet armor were created to bring out this heavy armor, and Blaster changed even further.
In the chest part of this thick armor, an orange magic crystal appeared.
The moment this magic crystal with the element of fire appeared, the magic energy emanating from Yuugo was boosted tremendously.
“What is that…?”
Asked an astonished Melt as she looked at Yuugo.
At the same time, as she was at a loss for words due to the power of the magic energy, giant flames rose and enveloped Yuugo.
“Is that…!?”
The heavy armor was completely covered in flames. The crimson flames burned bright as if to show Yuugo’s fighting spirit, but they changed color as they swirled.
The magic energy reaction increased the heat, turning them from red to violet. And as the flames surged to their limit, Yuugo swung his arm widely, sending away the flames and revealing his form.
“That’s what Yuugo showed in the hospital…!!”
A shining heavy violet armor and a magic crystal in its chest.
Yui was the only one present before when he showed this strong armor that released intense heat, and she gulped as she whispered.
It was because Yuugo brought out this armor that he withstood the final explosion in the hospital.
The violet armor was sturdy and boasted great defense, and it housed the power of the flaming armor. With both forms active at the same time, the power of the explosion was reduced, which allowed Yuugo to protect everyone.
And now… Yuugo was using the power of that armor to fight to protect.
Yui felt the unreal power he exuded, and with her power to see souls, she could feel the strong will in Yuugo’s flames, which made her heart beat faster.
“Eh, Interesting stuff. But you think you can beat me with that?”
“…Sorry, but I don’t have time to talk. I’ll check it myself.”
“Ah! Fine, bring it… Ah?”
Zaraki was faced with Yuugo’s trump card, and was telling him to bring it on with hope in that power, but… he could not finish.
There was plenty of space between them, but in the blink of an eye, Yuugo was right in front of him. The confident smile he held on his face was painted over with shock.
(H-he’s fast…!?)
He saw the moves of the violet armor before. It was nimble for someone wearing armor, but the weight should make it duller.
He had an armor that was mostly the same shape, so why was he moving faster than he could react?
Zaraki was now really on alert, as Yuugo’s fist caught his chest.
He bounced on the ground while spitting blood, and screamed not long after.
“Guaaah!? Gah, aah!?”
“Z-Zaraki!?”
Everyone was watching, but no one could follow Yuugo’s movements.
But they could just barely understand that he hit Zaraki, as Yui, who understood the immensity of that power, whispered.
“That is Yuugo’s trump card… Violet flame armor…!!”
