### Chapter 25: Kirin
Gildarts intended to decompose Riku into individual smaller entities, so Riku couldn't continue fighting.
Riku opened his arms and shouted:
"Thunder Quake!!"
BOOM————!!
Before Gildarts could activate his Magic, terrifying lightning erupted from Riku's body.
Using lightning to break through the air, he generated a supersonic thunder blast shockwave around his body. This move could blast away any attacks coming close; it was Riku's defensive move.
Bang!!!
"Ugh!"
Gildarts didn't expect Riku to have such a move, and his body was knocked flying backwards.
He stomped his heel hard on the ground.
Boom boom boom!!
The ground behind him decomposed into fragments, mitigating the impact.
Crackle crackle!
Riku leveled his arms, gathering lightning in each hand, then clapped his hands in front of him.
"60,000,000 Volts · Hino (Thunder Dragon)!!!"
A giant dragon made of lightning rushed towards Gildarts.
Gildarts raised his palm:
"Decompose!"
"Buzz—————!"
The giant Thunder Dragon was cut into small cubes and then dissipated.
At the moment it dissipated, Riku's figure teleported in front of Gildarts.
He gathered power and punched towards Gildarts.
Gildarts seemed prepared, raising his other fist to meet it.
"BOOM————!!"
The two fists collided. The shockwave generated by the collision of two powerful, highly destructive forces was terrifying, shattering everything around them.
Both of their bodies flew backwards, crashing into the walls of the crater, smashing large holes into the walls.
Zzzzt!
Riku turned into lightning and teleported to the center of the battlefield.
"Buzz————!"
The earthen wall decomposed, and Gildarts' figure reappeared.
"Exhilarating!! Truly exhilarating!! I haven't experienced such an exhilarating battle in a long time!!"
Gildarts appeared very excited at this moment. Riku put tremendous pressure on him, and he hadn't met an opponent who could give him such pressure in a long time.
"Riku, you are truly amazing. In such a short time, your strength has become so much stronger."
Gildarts was shocked in his heart. Three months ago, Riku's strength was good, but Gildarts had the confidence and ability to easily suppress him.
However, after just three months, Riku's strength had grown to this extent.
Especially his development of Magic, which was unparalleled.
"It's all because Teacher is going easy on me."
Riku wasn't a fool; he could see that Gildarts was actually holding back during the battle.
Gildarts shook his head: "I held back because my Magic isn't good at showing mercy. If I'm not careful and something happens, it would be bad."
"Originally, I thought I could easily defeat you even while holding back, but I didn't expect you to grow so much."
"If we continue fighting, I'm not sure if I can hold back."
"Bring out your strongest move, and let's decide the winner in one strike!"
His Magic was the Super High-Level Destruction Magic—Crash.
It could instantly smash the inter-atomic links of matter it touches into pieces.
If used on living beings, it could even turn the opponent into dust on the spot. It was very difficult to control, so it was hard to show mercy when fighting with this Magic.
"Okay! One strike to decide the winner!"
Riku also knew it wasn't appropriate to continue fighting like this. Both his moves and Teacher Gildarts' moves were too dangerous. One careless slip could lead to irreversible consequences.
Riku raised his right palm towards the sky.
Crackle———!!
A pillar of lightning shot straight into the sky from Riku's palm.
RUMBLE————!
The sky began to change. In the blink of an eye, dark clouds appeared in the originally clear sky, and the dark clouds began to spread rapidly. Soon, they spread for ten kilometers, making the entire sky pitch black.
"The... the sky!!"
"He actually changed the weather?!!"
Everyone was a bit scared seeing this scene.
They had heard that the Magic Power of some powerful mages could change the weather, but the range of Riku's weather change was too huge.
Rumble~~!
Lightning snaked through the thunderclouds, becoming denser and denser. The thunder roared as if the Thunder God was angry.
Hearing the thunder in the sky, the people below couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
If it were normal dark clouds, it wouldn't matter, but that dense lightning seemed ready to pour down at any moment, impossible to dodge.
Gildarts also had a serious expression. The lightning in the sky wasn't just that kid's lightning; there was also nature's lightning.
The terror of natural lightning far exceeded that of human Magic lightning.
Swish!
Riku's figure turned into lightning and teleported into mid-air.
The originally chaotic lightning in the sky seemed to be guided at this moment.
"What is that?!"
Happy shouted, pointing at the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw the lightning in the cumulonimbus clouds gradually gathering, forming a super-giant lightning beast hundreds of meters long, spanning across heaven and earth.
The instant he saw this giant lightning beast, Gildarts' hair stood on end, his body instinctively sensing a terrifying danger.
The danger of death!
If he couldn't catch this move, he might die.
"Just what kind of dangerous move has this little pervert researched!"
BOOM————!!
Gildarts unleashed his Magic Power fully. The powerful Magic Power swept across the field and shot straight into the sky.
Riku's voice rang out in the sky: "Teacher Gildarts, this is my strongest move right now. Take this!"
"200,000,000 Volts! Kirin!!!"
