**The Strongest Ally** (最強の味方, *Saikyō no Mikata*) is the 310th chapter of Makoto Raiku's Konjiki no Gash!!. This chapter was originally released in Japan on May 18, 2001.

## Plot

With Tio having fully disappeared after her book had burned, Megumi continues crying out Tio’s name, Gash shaking in sadness and anger.

In the Rocky Mountains, now about 50 kilometers (approximately 31 miles) from Gash’s group, Clear Note rejoices in the fact that the demon who had been shielding against his attacks has disappeared. He comments that it has been a long time since he’s tasted the feeling of demons disappearing, but that there is no better feeling. He informs Zarefedoora that there are only two demons remaining, to which Zarefedoora replies that there is only one shot left in the spell, but that he won’t dishonor the name of “Shin Kuria,” and launches the cannon’s base toward Gash and his friends.

As Zarefedoora gloats that Tio’s shields and disappearance will have all been in vain, the cannon’s base gets crushed by the gravitational force of a just-cast Nyuuborutsu Shin Gurabirei, as Brago and Sherie have arrived at the battle. Clear Note comments that he’d noticed another faint demon appearance, but didn’t anticipate them getting this close while he was focused on Gash’s group.

Kiyomaro and the others recognize the spell that stopped the cannon’s base from hitting them as Brago’s spell, and are relieved to know that he and Sherie have arrived just in time. Gash and Kiyomaro start to take off toward the battle, but Umagon weakly calls after them. Gash turns around, surprised, and tells Umagon he should rest since his body is worn out from having used two “shin” spells. Shaking and bloodied, Umagon stands before Gash and Kiyomaro and pats his back with one of his hooves, insisting that he take them to Clear Note. Gash is about to protest again, but Sunbeam interrupts, begging Gash and Kiyomaro to get on Umagon’s back. He comments that “Gou Shudoruku” is his limit in terms of what spell he can cast, but that the plan is for them to get as many demons to Clear Note as possible, and that Gash needs to help Brago as fast as possible and cannot waste this opportunity to defeat Clear Note. Sunbeam casts Gou Shudoruku, and Kiyomaro and Gash get on Umagon’s back for him to take them to the battle.

Brago approaches Clear, and Clear states that the difference in his and Brago’s power is the same as it was in their last encounter, and that he’ll just erase the bug who couldn’t do anything unless protected by Tio’s shields. Brago tells Clear that it would feel really good hitting him right now, and Sherie casts Zangu Mareisu. Brago’s hand emits a dark aura, and when he swipes his arm, a matching aura across the way slashes through the rock tower atop which Clear Note was standing. Sherie casts Borutsu Gurabirei, and Brago creates a ball of gravity beneath Clear Note that pulls him downward. Brago is right next to Clear now, and Vino realizes Brago used his spell’s gravitational pull to bring him closer to Clear, and Brago punches Clear Note in the face. Sherie casts Aian Guranaguru, and with both Brago’s fists emitting a dark aura, Brago lands several more blows to Clear Note as they knock him downward and he plummets into the ground.

Clear Note manages to catch Brago’s fist and retreats back to be closer to Vino. Internally, Clear Note realizes that Brago and Sherie are in fact stronger than the last time they’d faced each other. Still not quite at his perfect body, Clear reabsorbs the power from Zarefedoora, changing form into a monstrous, misshapen version of himself.

Kiyomaro senses that Clear Note’s power is getting stronger, and encourages Umagon to try his hardest to get them to the battle in time.
