Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

“His power is not something you can covet!” Muchini said. “Defeat him quickly!”

Galberos seemed to know his habits of using the timer beam, so it launched an attack from behind. His left arm, which was still movable at this time, was bitten by one of the heads, while his shoulder and neck were pinned by the middle head. The sharp teeth bit deep, and golden light particles were seeping out from the gaps.

Nexus's condition prevented him from continuing the fight against Mephisto. Samuel grew anxious and gathered explosive light blades at his side, thrusting them all at the enemy at the furthest distance.

"Boom boom boom——!"

The light blade pierced the skin and triggered an explosion. The intense heat and the pain of the body being torn apart made Galberos roar, but it still faithfully carried out its orders, biting down tightly without letting go. The venomous saliva seeped into the wound and skin, and Samuel felt that half of his body was no longer under his control.

The intense heat from the explosion had not yet dissipated. Muchini looked expectantly at the battlefield, waiting for the silver giant to fall and transform into his human form so that he could grab Sakuma Jun. As for how to extract Samuel's energy from Sakuma Jun—even if he couldn't do it himself, the 'Master' would surely have a way.

"You won't let go, huh?" Galberos was indeed extremely obedient, like a dog. Samuel simply grabbed it with his backhand as a fulcrum, forcibly channeling energy into his right arm hanging to the side. The silver flames burned it, causing it some pain, and then a elbow strike slammed into its sternum with a "bang," directly creating a spiderweb-like crack.

Then Samuel mustered his strength and, with a shout, flipped the three-headed dog, which was as heavy as a small mountain, over. The dog was unwilling to let go, but the heavy inertia gave Samuel a chance to break free.

"Pfft, squeak—", like the sound of flesh being shredded by a sharp blade, light particles surged out from the shoulders and neck, instantly extending into a butterfly-wing-like shape, becoming thinner and thinner towards the top, and finally disappearing into the air.

Without giving himself a moment to rest, Samuel used the relatively fast-charging Timer Beam before the next lightning bolt could restore Galberos.

Before Galberos could even get up, a blazing beam of light struck it. The wounds from the exploding light blades hadn't healed yet, and the timer beam rapidly amplified the damage. Galberos raised its claws to try and defend itself, but Samuel increased its output, causing its claws to crumble in the silver-blue torrent.

Muchini stared blankly at the silver giant. Galuberos disintegrated under the impact of the light stream, and the giant knelt on the ground. After catching his breath, he looked up at the sky.

He suddenly realized what was happening, opened the vortex to collect the disintegrated blue light fragments, then closed his eyes to contact Dark Mephisto, who was still locked in fierce combat.

Lord Samuel is heading your way. If you haven't defeated Nexus yet, retreat.

"Tsk," the timer on Nexus's chest had dimmed dangerously, and Mephisto knew that if he dragged it out any longer, the guy on the other side would probably be finished.

But the Night Raid team was more troublesome than he had expected, and that three-headed mad dog had actually been defeated!

They're all severely injured. Once the alien beast completes its next evolution, we can take them down in one fell swoop!

"It would be best if it were the same as what you said."

Mephisto coldly replied, and a rain of green light bullets forced Nexus and Assault Chester back. The next second, the Dark Giant merged into the gloomy world.

Chapter Forty-Five: Escape

"Hey, Samuel, Samuel!"

After the battle, Samuel did not take Jun Sakuma back. As soon as the dark domain dissipated, he retreated directly into the consciousness space and disappeared without a trace.

Jun Sakuma was worried about him, but he was also worried about Jun Himeya, who was also going through a fierce battle.

He was more worried about being found by those guys who were wrapped in white with instruments!

He stumbled along, his steps uneven, until he reached Himeya Jun. In the distance, he saw what appeared to be a signal flare launch into the sky. A beam of light appeared and disappeared in a flash. Judging from its appearance, it was probably the Stone Wing that Himeya Jun had mentioned.

That thing buried in the ground, can it self-repair if no one repairs it?

“You crashed and I still have to go find you!” Jun Sakuma wanted to call out to him, but he didn’t dare to shout, so he could only mutter to himself, “Oh my god, do I have to go find the ‘UFO that crashed in the wilderness’ again?”

Then he discovered a crucial problem.

Jun Himeya fired a signal flare not far from him, in case it attracted the white-clad cleaners...

He managed to escape on the Stone Wing, but he's the one who's in trouble!

"What kind of mess is this..." Jun Sakuma turned and ran away, taking off running wildly through the woods. He dared not go down the mountain road, for fear of falling into the TLT's blockade, so he could only go deep into the mountains.

"I hope I can get away before dawn, otherwise Karin will think I got drunk and died at the izakaya and didn't come home all night."

"Working overtime in the middle of the night is one thing, but having to do a cross-country run in the middle of the night is another..."

TLT conducted a grid search on the mountain, and the night raid team did not return immediately but was instead joined by the CIC's search team for the adaptable individuals.

Five. Jun Sakuma nearly bumped into people several times, but at crucial moments, the counter-surveillance skills he had learned at the police station proved highly effective, misleading the search team into another direction due to the traces he deliberately left behind.

He crawled on his stomach in the ditch, inching his way out, his body pressed firmly against the low wall. The cold water and silt cooled him down, reducing the chances of him being spotted by the guy with the infrared scanner.

He never imagined he would end up crawling through mountain gullies in the middle of the night!

I really hope he doesn't encounter any poisonous insects or anything like that, otherwise if he's found unconscious here the next day, he'll probably wake up in the lab that "White Coat Sieve" loves.

Just as I was lost in thought, there was a sudden "creak" sound beside me!

The sound wasn't loud, but it was clearly made by branches and leaves being trampled and broken!

Jun Sakuma immediately got goosebumps!

"Ah!" The brief cry was immediately suppressed. Jun Sakuma looked up and saw a dark figure standing by the ditch.

The shadowy figure gestured with its palm down, pressing down repeatedly, as if trying to calm him down.

"What's wrong?" A woman's voice came from afar.

"Nothing!" the shadowy figure shouted, "It's a rat's nest!"

Then the shadowy figure crouched down and whispered quickly, "They are to your southwest, searching to the northwest, and there are also teams to the east. You'd better go to the forest to the northeast. The blockade is within a 3-kilometer radius. Once you cross the mountain, you'll be fine."

"...Thank you." Sakuma Jun said softly, then quickly crawled forward.

Kazuki Komon opened the Beregg and, after confirming once again that no alien beast vibration waves were found on it, breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Jun Sakuma, who had stealthily moved into the distance and was now almost invisible.

Of the giants involved in this battle, Mephisto's true form is Shinya Mizoroki, the first Ultra Warrior to appear was Jun Himeya, and the last one... need I say more? To be discovered in this location at this time...

He couldn't possibly be that three-headed alien beast, after all, Bereg didn't call the police.

Hopefully he can escape.

……

Meanwhile, back at their temporary base—a long-abandoned shrine in the mountains—Muchini stood blankly before the dilapidated doorway.

Gou Lümuzhen didn't bother to look at him and went straight to rest, bypassing the "statue".

It will take some time for Galberos to recover. He needs to drive other alien beasts to prey on more humans, and then use those alien beasts as food for Galberos's recovery and strengthening.

He was already very familiar with these things.

The alien beasts assigned to other base areas will go out to hunt on their own. There are no Ultra Warriors assisting the Night Raid Team's combat groups there, so the harvest will be much greater.

He wasn't worried about things that were routine to him; what he cared about was Samuel's attitude toward Vitamori.

Samuel stood against Vitamori for the sake of this alien Earthling?

Shouldn't he, like himself, dedicate himself to reviving that pure and beautiful ocean star?

Muchini believed that his account had not missed any key points. Lord Samuel certainly knew about the Vitamori's doom—so he should at least show a pained expression. Hadn't he fought for the people there?

I warned you, that wasn't "him".

"But how would Lord Samuel from another world know the 'Order of the Lightbringer'? And how could he possibly know my name?"

[Perhaps it's the influence of an alternate dimension, something you've already suspected.]

Just as he was obsessed with the idea of ​​resurrecting Vitamori, Muchini was always willing to believe in so-called "miracles": "Perhaps Lord Samuel has survived."

He is now your enemy.

“Lord Samuel will not be my enemy!” Muchini took two steps forward and walked to the edge of the mountain path. Below him was only an endless sea of ​​trees, silent in the night like the last graveyard of the Vitamori.

“It must be that Earthling,” he exclaimed excitedly. “I know Lord Samuel; he never refuses requests from others. It must be that Earthling’s request that made him hesitate!”

"What do Earthlings have that we can compare to? Look at their cowardly appearance when facing alien beasts! That Earthling, Jun Sakuma..."

Muchini suddenly remembered something, and he stretched out his hand, and a vortex appeared out of thin air.

Blue particles drifted out of the vortex, and Muchini picked up an inconspicuous piece of debris.

Alien beasts feed on human fear, but occasionally there are exceptionally strong human individuals who, even after becoming part of an alien beast, can retain some faint fragments of consciousness.

Of course, those fragments of consciousness would soon dissipate, which Muchini was not surprised about. The particles left after these alien beasts disintegrated often contained the last things about humanity.

Since they are called "fragments of consciousness," they must all contain only extremely limited content.

For example, in this section, only two names are mentioned from beginning to end:

Sakuma Karin.

Jun Sakuma.

“Please give me another chance,” Muchini said. “If I can’t succeed, I will give up on the idea altogether.”

"Hmm, what are your plans?"

“I will prove to Lord Samuel that the Earthling should not be his choice. He should abandon this short-lived race and join me... to bring Vitamori back to the world!”

Chapter 46 The Cleaner's Discovery (Bonus Chapter 17 for Bounty)

Its daybreak.

Jun Sakuma sat in despair in an unfamiliar forest.

He's just a regular police officer, not...

Even specially trained soldiers would be lucky to escape an encirclement while hiking through the mountains in the middle of the night; as for where they came out from...

Kazuki Komon told him to "run northeast," but to be honest, Jun Sakuma didn't know which direction he was heading either; he might just end up going in circles.

In any case, given the desolate state of this place, there's probably no sign of human habitation.

He pulled out his phone, which had been soaking in the stream and mud for half a day.

Wipe the mud off, and with my last hope, I pressed the lock screen button.
