Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

"What did you say?!"

He turned to look at the monitor screen from another angle, and saw that Bogaru had returned to the vicinity of the island's center after several unsuccessful attacks.

A silvery-black light suddenly appeared in the scene, knocking the furiously roaring Bogaru off balance and sending him flying towards the sky.

"Ah, this is it!" the colleague exclaimed.

"Airplane my foot!" He pointed at the silver-black ball of light that had coalesced into a human shape in the air: "Is this what your airplane looks like?"

"Caught up."

Samuel looked down at Bogaru, who had undergone a dramatic transformation after eating Gudun and the Twin-Tailed Monster, and whose body was engulfed in silver flames.

Mebius's presence is here, as is the sword that emits a beam of light that makes him work overtime.

Forget about them, I'll just focus on taking care of this ugly thing before they do!

Samuel immediately launched a flying kick at Bogaru. Although Bogaru dodged the attack, he was still pushed back by the shockwave from the kick hitting the ground without restraint.

The 1200mm particle accelerator cannon was fired at the opportune moment under the operation of GUYS coastal defense, but he

They had not received orders to be wary of this silver-black giant whose allegiance was yet to be confirmed, so the attack range of one of the cannons happened to overlap with Samuel's location.

[Identify obstacles to the task and eliminate them first.]

Samuel should have immediately executed the logical instructions, but he remembered his conversation with the guide on that star-studded night:

"If Earthlings attack me, am I allowed to retaliate?"

"Let's see how it goes. We need to figure out if it was an accidental injury or something else..."

Samuel hesitated for a moment, then decided to ignore the inconsiderate particle accelerator cannon.

Anyway, that's about all the power...

The red light bullet sparked sparks on Samuel's back.

superficial.

Samuel swung his fist at Bogaru, who was being bombarded by the other particle accelerators. The 1200mm particle accelerators couldn't break through Bogaru's defenses, but Samuel's fist could.

Bogaru, whose vision was obscured by the sparks from the particle beam, took a heavy blow, screamed and staggered back a few steps, flapping his fleshy wings and almost falling over.

Samuel followed closely, raising his leg to kick its relatively vulnerable belly. As Bogaru swung its claws down, the single horn on its head released an orange electric beam.

The evolved Bogaru's beam of electricity was even more violent, but Samuel did not stop his attack and retreat as it expected. Instead, he continued to kick it hard in the stomach with silver flames, making it churn violently.

Bogaru's right claws slashed and clawed at Samuel's leg, sending sparks flying and leaving two scratches, but this did not stop his attack.

The electric beam rushed towards him, but Samuel only slightly shifted his body to avoid being directly hit by the timer. Then, braving the beam and the instantaneous crackling of electricity spreading throughout his body, he charged forward again, slamming his left fist into Bogaru's shoulder. Bogaru rolled over and fell to the ground, unable to sustain the electric beam any longer.

Samuel followed up with another powerful kick, and Bogaru left a long trail across the ground.

"Such an aggressive fighting style..." Teppei Kuze said blankly, "Even though I've seen it before, it still feels..."

"It's a little scary." Amakuya Kinomi shrank back in her chair.

Samuel flipped his right hand, and a sword-shaped blade of light condensed in his palm. He wanted to take advantage of Bogaru's fall to shatter the orange crystal on the corner that looked like it was more important.

However, Bogaru's electric beam wasn't entirely ineffective against him; otherwise, he would have aimed his punch at Bogaru's head. Now, the paralysis had finally slowed his movements, allowing Bogaru to find an opening and vanish into nothingness. When he reappeared, he had already teleported to Samuel's side.

An invisible force pressed down on him, and Samuel felt the gravity on his body increase several times over. He immediately mobilized his psychic power to resist, and the pale blue crystal on his forehead shone brightly. Meanwhile, Bogaru slowly swung his giant claw, while orange electric currents took the opportunity to gather power.

At that moment, a golden-red and a silver-blue light appeared, and Mebius and Ken rushed towards Bogaru, who was focused on fighting Samuel's psychic powers.

"Hiss—!"

Telekinesis was not Samuel's forte, but Bogaru was giving it his all.

An unseen force suspended the massive rock in mid-air, and with Bogaru's hiss, he and Samuel were propelled out.

The immense force and the sudden, piercing pain in his head made it difficult for Samuel to maintain his balance. Like being slammed into the arms of a derailed train, he was pushed straight against the barrier. A pile of rocks, still covered in shrubs and dust, crashed down on him, shattering into pieces and kicking up a high cloud of dust.

Samuel covered his head and staggered to his feet.

Not far away, Mebius and Sword were already locked in a fierce battle with Bogaru.

Despite it being their first time working together, the two didn't look like they were enemies just a few days ago.

Mebius was forced to retreat after being countered by Bogaru, while Sword stepped in to fill the gap and launched an attack from the other side.

When the sword is knocked down by Bogaru's claws, Mebius will immediately come to the rescue.

Bogaru lashed out with electric beams, and the two instinctively rolled backward to dodge. Then, they rushed forward from the left and right, each restraining its claws, and together they pulled Bogaru to the ground.

Just as Bogaru stood up, the two men delivered two more knee strikes to her from the left and right. Bogaru took a step back and tried to slap them away with her massive claws, but Mebius and Ken dodged them with identical side flips.

As they created some distance between them, the oval orange crystal embedded in the horn on Bogaru's head lit up and split into two beams of light, which swept toward Mebius and the sword.

The two simultaneously chose to fly into the air to dodge, each deflecting the attacks of the light ropes. Then, amidst the praise of Amakuya Kinomi, the red and blue figures took turns launching attacks at an extremely fast speed, drawing a two-colored light band in the shape of "∞" in the air, leaving Bogaru with no time to spare.

"That was a beautiful teamwork!" Amakuya Kinomi clenched her fist.

Teppei Kuse, who was also staring intently at the screen, couldn't help but sigh, "Compared to that, Mebius's teamwork with Samuel in Akatsuki was absolutely terrible. So it seems... it shouldn't be Mebius's fault."

It was because Samuel's fighting style was too individualistic, and not only that, it disrupted Mebius's offensive rhythm, resulting in 1+1<-1.

See, with a new teammate, 1+1>3.

Finally free of dizziness, Samuel saw Bogaru being beaten senseless by Mebius and the sword, so he openly and legitimately...

The earth is accumulating power, preparing to release the Pelelitt light stream.

Mebius and Blade also stopped attacking, retreated to the sides, and simultaneously released beams of light.

If Bogaru were still conscious and in good condition, he should have been able to teleport away, but the psychic power he used to push Samuel away had almost depleted his mental strength, to the point that he couldn't even use psychic power to slow down the enemy's movements. Then he was hit hard on the head several times by Mebius and the sword in a series of attacks, and now he was dizzy and disoriented.

Three torrents of light, fully charged, struck it, and Bogaru's body visibly reddened and swelled irregularly, like a balloon being rapidly inflated.

"Oh no!" Kazama Marina was the first to react: "Dragon, Sadaharu!"

Shingo Sakamizu gave the timely order: "Meteor Technology is now unbanned!"

Almost at the same moment Shingo Sakami finished speaking, Ryu Aihara pressed the button: "Capture Strike, launch!"

"Now's the time! Escape from inside!" Aihara Ryu's amplified voice reached everyone present.

The blue beam emitted from the Loader created a passable gap in the electromagnetic barrier. Mebius immediately turned to leave, but when he glanced at the blue figure beside him, he saw that the figure remained unmoved. He then looked at Samuel, who also stood still, without reacting.

The sword was unwilling to leave because it believed its desire for revenge was fulfilled. The human body it possessed didn't have much time left, and with the urgent need to finally be freed from the sorrowful wish of Arbok, it preferred to witness Bogaru's explosion, so that the sword of vengeance could be considered to have completed its mission.

As for Samuel... unaware of the immense power of the energy explosion following Bogaru's death, he had no idea why the Earthling wanted them to escape.

escape?

This word is not found in the dictionary.

Samuel glanced at the Earthling piloting the aircraft. He recognized the person sitting in front of him from Mount Kiribuki; he remembered his name was Aihara Ryu.

"A massive explosion is about to happen!" Teppei Kuze shouted anxiously.

"Why aren't you out yet!" Kazama Marina stepped forward, her tone equally urgent.

Amatsuki Kinoshita practically jumped up from her seat: "Mebius!"

The atmosphere was a bit eerie. Samuel stared blankly at the Earthling's spaceship with the gaping hole in it, and then he heard Aihara Ryu and another Earthling shouting:

"Time is running out!"

"Come out quickly!"

What? There's no time left?

The three beams of light that had struck Bogaru had stopped. Bogaru stumbled forward a few steps, and orange electricity surged toward Mebius, who had his back to it.

Mebius suddenly turned around, only to see a sword blocking his way.

"Sword!" Mebius caught the falling blue figure.

At the same time, a gust of wind blew past.

Mebius looked up and saw the silver-black guy punch Bogaru's head, which had grown to twice its original size.

"He's still alive." Samuel instinctively wanted to kick him again.

"We'll die if we don't leave now!" the Earthling piloting the spaceship shouted again.

Samuel finally stopped his attack.

Even if he was slow to react, after that punch, he realized that something was wrong with Bogaru.

He had seen monsters that would self-destruct before they died, but those monsters' self-destruction was either blocked by the barrier he erected or they were directly beaten to death by him, without ever having the chance to self-destruct.

He thought Bogaru was also such a monster, and instinctively wanted to smash its head, and even wanted to play the dying self-destruction game?

But he felt as if he had just hit a lump of dead flesh. Bogaru's head was limply turned to one side, while its body was still abnormally radiating astonishing energy, and the fluctuations were becoming more and more violent.

When Samuel released his senses again, he discovered that Bogaru's life force had disappeared!

Even if someone is dead, can they still be blown up?

So when Aihara Ryu urged them again, and Mebius picked up his sword, which was no longer able to move, and shouted "Come with me," Samuel obediently followed and flew out through the gap in the barrier.

Just seconds after they broke away, the flames from the explosion of Bogaru engulfed the entire interior of the electromagnetic barrier.

Samuel felt a little uneasy listening to the explosion. He saw the central flame of the explosion and could roughly judge its intensity—not enough to kill him, but enough to send him back to the research institute for "major repairs."

If he were still wearing the original external mechanical armor and integrated control system, the "overhaul" wouldn't be too uncomfortable; it would just be that the mechanical maintenance fluid smelled too strong. But now it's an implanted control system, so the "overhaul" means disassembling his entire body piece by piece, checking and repairing the system network that almost covers his whole body—and then soaking him in the maintenance fluid.
