Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

"Stop it!"

The giant transformed into a streak of light, causing the rain in mid-air to explode with a deafening roar. In the blink of an eye, the streak of light was directly below the monster's head, and the booming sounds continued one after another. The splashes of water traced an arc, which was its trajectory.

The purple lightning swirled and gnawed at the giant, its intense light illuminating almost half the city, casting deep shadows on the buildings. The city was noisy with horns, engines, and crowds, and the rain scorched everything in its path. But when the lightning unleashed all its inner energy, the world seemed to fall silent.

Everything—is entrusted to the thin "shield" held up by the giant.

Sakuma Junsho is not good at using beam techniques. If Samuel were here, he would probably follow the principle of "offense is the best defense" and let the Explosive Light Blade and the lightning released by the Alien Beast collide and wear each other down.

The only thing he could use with perfect precision was a light shield. It was just right; attacks were blocked and scattered, like an electric drill hitting the bedrock. Countless sparks flew, and the heat evaporated the rain into a white mist that instantly dried up, while the bedrock remained unmoved.

Jun Sakuma boldly stared into the monster's eyes, as if to say, "I'm here. Whatever you want to do, you'll have to get past me first!"

Aiba Yu walked to the front of the house, and like the people in the city, he looked up at the light in the sky that was confronting the strange beast in the clouds.

The giant's figure was very similar to his. If there was any difference, it was probably the "armor" on his shoulders, which had changed from a streamlined shape to an angular one, like two epaulets on his shoulders.

Yu Aiba couldn't help but laugh; Jun Sakuma was, after all, a policeman.

He found it somewhat novel; ignoring the differences in the words, it was as if he were looking in a mirror, with another version of himself giving his all.

Was that alien beast Beelzebub? Aiba Yu found something similar to it, such as its amazing fusion ability.

Its energy became even more powerful, but

Perhaps Muchini set a bad precedent. He forcibly merged all the humans he had preyed with Beelzebub's body, and then suddenly had a change of heart, brazenly and willingly facing Samuel's beam of light, only to have most of his body stripped away and evaporated. After him, the aura of the alien beasts became increasingly complex—like an evolutionary frenzy that led them astray into a different path in their eagerness to become stronger.

This one is the culmination of evolution; it is trying to recreate Beelzebub's form, and all the alien beasts that have appeared in the past can be found in it.

It was still too much for Jun Sakuma, who had just adapted to the giant's body. Yu Aiba took a step forward and disappeared into the rain.

“Well done, Chun, and the Medal of the Light Chaser.”

Jun Sakuma suddenly found himself unable to control his body, and he heard Samuel's voice.

"Why are you here?" Jun Sakuma asked.

Samuel took over Sakuma Jun's job. He held up the light shield and went against the current. The lightning, which was almost like a slurry, was split in front of him, like cutting water with a knife. The giant's body was the blade, and the water was indeed cut off!

“I told you to shout for help, why did you rush in yourself?” Samuel did not answer him.

The alien beast's face drew closer, and two explosive light blades cleared the way. The aftershocks of the explosion blasted away the dark clouds, revealing a large expanse of clear sky and the alien beast's tail with a spherical tip—it came from Grantra.

“A hybrid enemy, powerful, but that also means we can use past experience to find its weaknesses.” Bypassing the claws that came at him by Yizumaru, Samuel flipped behind it and kicked it in the back of the neck, making it stagger: “Ugh, that three-headed dog’s back.”

Izumi turned to the side, pointing his vine claws at the enemy behind him. Pale yellow mist spewed out from there. Sakuma Jun heard Samuel laugh: "Look, the weakness has come."

The explosive light blade pierced directly into the mist and detonated prematurely, turning the powdery mist into a fiery mist. Enveloped by the rain, it burned fiercely against all reason. The vine claws that had just exhaled this mist were affected, emitting a little black smoke before tightly retracting.

"The flower stamen of Lefria, the poisonous mist it spews is flammable... and the same goes for Pedron, look, its head on its knee."

Samuel caught the sharp arm that was slashing at him. It was crafted by Northfield and could easily cut through metal and shatter stone. Particles of light flowed from his palm and the base of his hand. Samuel briefly distracted it with a burst of silver flame, then suddenly released his grip. Izumaru, who had been trying to break free, was thrown backward as Samuel released his hold.

A beam of light from a timer struck its leg, and Pedron's head screamed in agony as the flammable liquid inside exploded into fireworks, scattering in the wind.

Chapter 155 I Can See Through Time

Creatures that should only exist in fantasy have descended into the world.

They flew over the city, chasing each other from the city center to the far west of the river, then followed the river downstream, suddenly turning and rushing towards the guard-like mountains.

One second they were exchanging blows at extremely close range, the wind pressure from their fists shattering the surrounding windows. The next second they were soaring into the sky, beyond sight, the rumble of thunder only reaching their ears a while later, while the clouds had already been torn apart, gaping open long ago.

Samuel recognized the head belonging to Megaflash on Izumaru's shoulder. At the cost of a claw, he pried his sword into its eye and then kicked the blade in like a nail.

"It would be troublesome if the space where the light-restricting technique is activated were to be opened again." Upon hearing Samuel's reminder, Jun Sakuma unconsciously looked down at the blocked road beneath his feet.

The road conditions were terrible during the heavy rain. In some places, the drainage was poor, and half of the wheels of the vehicles were submerged in water, forcing drivers to drive very carefully. Traffic police were managing the congestion, which was better than the initial chaos. Those on the outer side who were not stuck in the mud realized that the road ahead was blocked and turned around. Although they were moving slowly, they were finally getting away from this dangerous area.

The timing was perfect in Izumaruka; it was right around the time middle school let out, and many people were picking up their children, while students with backpacks braved the rain to get out. If Karin hadn't dropped out of school, she would probably be among those people right now.

Go, Giants!

Jun Sakuma initially thought it was a hallucination, until the voice rang out again, extremely abrupt in the world of boiling water and rain.

It crossed the river, passed through tall buildings, and was caught by Samuel's hearing. Jun Sakuma found its source—the factory, the loudspeaker towering outside the factory building.

Originally used to remind people of safe production practices, these items have now taken on a new purpose. Yuanchuan sat in the broadcasting room, feeling both nervous and excited.

He didn't know if the giant could hear him; after all, there was a river between them and it was raining, and the loudspeaker from his small factory would have been barely a buzzing mosquito over such a distance. But when he saw that man save him again and transform into a giant in the light, soaring into the clouds, he felt that perhaps he should do something.

Running away in panic was not what he wanted. The man dug him out of the collapsed factory. He had waded through the ruins alone to find a doctor, but he wasn't afraid at all.

As the story says, the giants will destroy Barnebu. Barnebu enjoys people's fear, so he insists on having countless emotions such as anger and worry, but he refuses to be a quail in the pouring rain. Not only that, he also wants to divert other people's attention from the sudden disaster.

"Boss! Don't cry about the money, boss!" Yuan Chuan's voice came from the loudspeaker: "If the monster wins, we might escape, but we won't live much longer. If you die, you'll have nowhere to spend those few coins!"

The factory owner sat in the mud and cursed, "Who are you cursing to die, Yuanchuan? Your next month's salary..."

Deduct performance bonus!

But Yuanchuan couldn't hear his voice; one of them was at the broadcasting station and the other was at the crossroads outside. Yuanchuan didn't have the ears of an Ultraman.

The broadcast continued, seemingly oblivious to the danger: "Even if you're going to die, don't chicken out and get killed while you're running! Brothers, call home if you need to, brag about your wives and kids, and one thing at a time, nobody backs down and makes a fool of themselves in front of the monsters!"

"Go to hell with the phone! With all my phones soaked in this rain, who am I supposed to call?" The coworker was both angry and amused, yelling back at the loudspeaker, which he couldn't hear at all.

"Yongxin? Yongxin, did you wet your pants? Hey, it's raining heavily, don't worry, no one can see you peeing."

"I'll spit in your face! You shouting over the loudspeaker, 'You're something else, are you a dog?'"

"This lousy radio station has the wrong window; it's not facing the river, so I can't see into the city. Brothers, who won?"

"Are you blind or deaf! And you're still 'thundering' us? Who knows who'll win!"

Jun Sakuma was immediately drawn to the words, and even from a distance, he could hear every single one clearly.

“What an interesting bunch,” he heard Samuel say. “Chun, I know what you’re worried about. You’re not like ‘Xun’.”

Yizumeru gathered the heat flow, and the four compound eyes of the head belonging to Banpira on his chest turned, emitting dissolving light again.

The head in the center hissed—Samuel wrapped the horn that came from Arakuna behind it with a whip of light, and lashed it out into the countryside, dissolving the light that shot into the sky.

“Of course they’re different. I’m this old and you’re that old.” Jun Sakuma raised his arm, and the giant readily complied, raising a thin but extremely sturdy light shield with his left arm to block the sweeping destructive rays.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

"Then you should also know what I hope for..."

“Chun,” Samuel interrupted him, “you are a warrior.”

The orange-red destructive rays rubbed against the shield, like a persistent beast grinding bones with its teeth, trying to suck out the marrow inside.

Before the rain could even touch them, they were dried out. The heads of Ezmaru and his former colleagues spewed out hot air as the giant crashed in through the light shield. The "steam train" was pushed all the way from the sky and smashed into the ground.

They shattered the summit of a mountain, the lingering white mist indicating the arc of their fall.

The vines belonging to Leviathan wrapped around the giant's neck, tightening their grip, while the giant pressed down on its head, silver flames burning in his palm, eroding the demon's face.

Northfield's claws pierced through the shoulder; before the light particles could rise, golden liquid flowed down its palm and onto its arm. They too burst into flames, readily accepting being doused with gasoline and set ablaze.

Izumer tried to throw him off, but its legs had been injured in the explosion, limiting its strength. Samuel grabbed Northfield's wrist, not trying to break free, but instead pressing closer.

Leviathan's poison vines wrapped around half of his body, but they seemed to have little effect. Silver flames burned within him, seeping out from the cracks in the giant's body, impossible to extinguish, and the temperature rose higher and higher. The poison vines bound him as if they were binding a sun.

If Yizu Mairu had the emotion of "surprise," he would certainly be astonished by what he was wrapped in.

It had already sensed the crisis, and all the heads that could still be mobilized roared, with compressed energies of various colors converging within them.

“Crack, crack…”

As Jun Sakuma heard the sound of shattering glass, the poison vines suddenly trembled. Before they could shrink back, the blazing flames that had been restrained to their limit burst forth, squeezing through the gaps between the vines and soaring nearly a hundred meters high. Along with this came a timer beam that had completed its charge at extremely close range. It cut into the head inside the abdomen of Izumi Maru, and the chain reaction detonated the energy that was being gathered in the other heads.

"When using this move, you must not let go of your enemy."

Samuel's voice sounded like it was coming through a veil to Jun Sakuma, but the giant's body remained under his control. He obeyed Samuel's will and held onto Izumiru tightly.

Even a small aftershock was enough to flatten a car; the force of the recoil at the center of the energy annihilation was indescribable. Jun Sakuma could no longer see anything, only certain that he was still holding onto the monster, its spiky head beneath his left hand, Northfield's wrist beneath his right, and his knee pressed against Baigbazun's head—it was probably tearing at him with its mandibles.

The first alien beast they encountered was this one. Jun Sakuma was completely unaware of what was happening and was so scared that he wanted to run away. If Samuel hadn't woken him up, he would probably have been the first human host to run away with his head in his hands when he encountered an alien beast.

Now Baigbazun has finally gotten his wish; let it bite him as it pleases, but it's best not to let go.

Everywhere was a blazing inferno. Jun Sakuma felt like he had probably jumped into molten steel, and looking down he saw a star spewing out storms.

He stood before the star, surrounded by both extreme noise and extreme silence.

“Hey, Samuel… no, ‘Xun,’ what was your original name?”

This wasn't the place for idle chatter, but Jun Sakuma found himself asking, "How old are you? What's your birthday? Did you go to school later? You should still be in school at that age. You're already traveling the world, go and relax in places you like. There are lots of interesting things to do at school. When I was in university..."

“You’re so long-winded,” Samuel’s voice came from further away: “Nobody named ‘Xun’ before, they just called him little devil or something… I’m going back to sleep for a while, don’t bother me, not even if you bring out the rose.”

“You are different from ‘Tatsumi’, Officer Sakuma.”

Chapter 156 The World Is Full of Absurdities

Kazuki Komon never expected that he would see that familiar light again after Rei Senju was hospitalized.

He recognized the giant even before the giant's form materialized.

"He's been discharged from the hospital?" That was Komon Kazuki's first reaction.

But when he saw the giant standing in front of the path of the Dark Mephistopheles, assuming a fighting stance, he realized that although they looked the same, the two giants were different people inside.

Kazukura Eifu paused for a moment, then called out into the communicator, "Saijou?"

Saijo Nagi's Chromium Chester sat quietly in a clearing in the woods, with no response from the communications system.
