Konjiki no Gash!! Chapter 62

**The Strongest Spell** (最大の術 , *Saidai no Jutsu*) is the 62nd chapter of Makoto Raiku's Konjiki no Gash!!. This chapter was originally released in Japan as part of volume 7 on October 18, 2002.

## Plot

Prepared to end the battle, Apollo casts Ropes’ most powerful spell, *Dino Rigunoon.* As Kiyomaro looks at the large boulder being held above Ropes and Apollo, he notices it beginning to sway. When he looks to Apollo, he notices Apollo also appearing unsteady as using the spell was proving to be difficult for him. Despite this, Apollo remains calm and reassures Ropes that he’ll pull through it and help him become the next king as promised. Kiyomaro thinks to himself of what he can do next in order to defeat them then realizes that the only way is to use the strongest spell they have as well. Despite their fourth spell not working earlier for them, Kiyomaro tells Gash that it’s their only hope and that they’re just as determined on winning the battle much like Apollo and Ropes. Kiyomaro casts *Baou Zakeruga* and the spell finally appears.

*Baou Zakeruga* opens its massive jaw wide to take on the massive boulder held in the air by Ropes’ *Dino Rigunoon* and both Kiyomaro and Apollo put everything they have into their final spells to win. Both the large boulder and *Baou Zakeruga* would explode and both teams were sent flying backwards. Kiyomaro has completely collapsed onto the ground but he desperately tries to force himself back up to keep fighting as he believes Apollo could attack again. Kiyomaro hears Apollo’s voice but Apollo tells him that he can’t move anymore just like him. Apollo is then shown to also be collapsed on the ground and exhausted with Ropes by his side. Apollo asks Kiyomaro if they could consider their battle a draw for now and fight each other again someday when they both become stronger and Kiyomaro agrees to this. Apollo then goes on to say that even though he didn’t win and can’t move at all, he feels great from having gone through this experience.

Some time later, the two teams sit down together to talk about their battle earlier that day. Apollo tells Kiyomaro that he had felt Gash and Kiyomaro’s spell book gain power throughout their fight. He then goes on to theorize that while tension and strong emotions build up as they fight, the spell book could possibly be able to hold onto those things and use it as power when they need it most when using their strongest spell. Kiyomaro thinks about this and notes that using *Baou Zakeruga* takes all of his energy. Despite *Baou Zakeruga* being his most powerful spell, he can’t use it often because of the toll it takes on him. After talking about this, Kiyomaro offers for Apollo to stay at his home for the night and Apollo happily accepts. Apollo then asks Kiyomaro to draw him a map to his house as he plans to go on a walk first before meeting up with him. Kiyomaro does this and the two teams part ways.

At night, Apollo and Ropes walk together and look at the stars in the evening sky. As they walk, Ropes begins to run off in a different direction from Apollo and Apollo tells him that it’s not the way to Kiyomaro’s house. Despite this, Ropes shows Apollo how eager he is to go in this direction. Apollo agrees to follow him that way before going on to say that he hopes he’ll be able to see Gash and Kiyomaro again someday. As they travel down a new road, Apollo tells Ropes to slow down a little for him as he’s still worn out from their battle that day.
