Episode 81

**Seeking the Light...Come Forth, The Two Fighting Spirits** (*勝機（ひかり） を求めて...湧きあがれふたりの闘志,Hikari wo Motomete...Wakiagare Futari no Tōshi*) is the 81st episode of the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Anime. This episode first aired in Japan on November 7, 2004.

## Overview

Gash, Umagon, and Leila work together in order to defeat Demolt and destroy the moon stone. Though the group is at an overwhelming disadvantage against Demolt’s power and the moon stone’s regenerative properties, Gash’s power grows stronger as he fights. He and Kiyomaro would then put all of their remaining strength into their strongest attack in order to defeat Demolt.

## Plot

After learning about Vile’s motives behind assisting Zofis, Gash, Kiyomaro, and the rest of their group become determined more than ever to defeat him and Demolt. Kiyomaro and Gash would rush into the fight casting a barrage of spells with Umagon and Sunbeam backing them up. Though Demolt knocks Gash down at every attempt to attack, Gash continues to get back up as both he and Kiyomaro strongly feel that they must defeat their enemy no matter what. Though Kiyomaro realizes how much Gash is pushing himself to fight, he sees that there is still a light that will lead them to victory. With that in mind, he continues to pour all the energy he has into their spell book in order to find this light.

In order to help Gash, Sunbeam instructs Umagon to use his speed to confuse Demolt so that they can create an opening for Gash to attack. Although with the two of them attacking, Demolt still manages to keep them at bay using his weapon. While he was initially distracted with them however, Leila seizes an opportunity to attack the moon stone from behind. She attempts to destroy it using *Oru Miguruga* but Demolt proved to be fast enough to block the attack. Seeing how much of a disadvantage Gash’s group is in, Tio tries to insist that they help out but Megumi reminds her that they can’t because they have yet to fully recover their heart power. Canchome also shares the same feelings as Tio to want to help the others but is told by Folgore and Dr. Riddles that they have to remain where they are and that Canchome’s role in appearing as a wall is important in protecting everyone. As they watch the battle in front of them, Folgore points out that Kiyomaro and Gash's persistent fighting style has a purpose as they are trying to find “something” that will be the key to their victory.

Regardless of how futile the situation appears to be, considering the overwhelming difference in power between Demolt and Gash, both Gash and Kiyomaro nevertheless continue to fight. As they do so, Leila and others in Gash’s group sense that Gash and Kiyomaro’s inner strength grows stronger the more they attack When Leila and Umagon work together to create an opening for Gash to strike, Gash aims directly for the back of Demolt’s neck and attacks using *Zakeruga*. After some time, Gash’s [[Spell Book|spell book] begins to shine bright in Kiyomaro’s hand as Kiyomaro had been building up enough power to cast their most powerful spell onto Demolt’s recently discovered weak point. Gash tries to get close to the back of Demolt’s neck but is knocked back some distance from Demolt using *Hedyun Zemoruku*. Seeing that Gash was still within range, Kiyomaro casts *Baou Zakeruga*. The spell proved to be powerful enough to cause Demolt to fall to his knees but despite this, the moon stone allows Demolt to recover from the attack.

Before Demolt attacks Gash and his group again, he is stopped when Patie and Uluru suddenly appear and use *Suou Giakuru*. The episode then ends as Gash and Kiyomaro realize that Patie was now their ally and was ready to help them on their mission to defeat Demolt and destroy the moon stone.
