Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

Without any support, a dark blue ripple suddenly spread between Dark Faust's fist and its target.

"Thump—! Snap!"

The light shield stood between the two giants. Although it was on the verge of breaking after only one hit, it did block the attack—and successfully stunned the opponents for a moment.

Samuel seized the opportunity, reversed his grip on the lightsaber, and channeled his power from his legs to his waist and then to his arms, twisting his body to slash diagonally.

The blade whistled through the air with a tearing sound, and with a "whoosh," the silver sword shattered along with the light shield, striking Dark Faust's right arm. The blade traveled upwards along his forearm, sparks and explosions mingling with his roar.

Dark Faust hastily retreated, but Samuel persisted, unleashing two explosive light blades that flew through the air toward his right side, where he had just been slashed.

"Boom boom—boom!"

Three explosions.

The two giants staggered and fell to the ground at the same time.

Dark Faust was blasted away by the exploding light blade, while Samuel braced himself on the ground and looked back blankly.

"The Wolffire missile hit its target."

Of the three Earthling fighter jets, two flew over Dark Faust and one locked onto Samuel.

Having witnessed GUYS and Mebius's seamless cooperation to the point of exhaustion, Samuel felt more confusion than anger: "Is this the Night Raid Team?"

Sakuma Atsumasa was wondering why, just as he was about to go up and continue beating people, his vision suddenly blurred and the ground rapidly expanded. Hearing his question, he hurriedly replied, "They probably mistook you for an alien beast too. The Night Raid Team... is always quite sensitive."

Kazuki Komon and Nagi Saijo's fighter jets were assigned by the captain to keep an eye on Dark Faust, perhaps because Captain Wakura had observed the newcomers' resistance.

At this moment, Kazuki Komon looked at the silver giant who had been hit by the Chromium Chester Gamma with a worried gaze. Shiori Hiraki was usually cheerful, and she was just as decisive and efficient in battle.

Samuel glanced at the fighter jet... Thanks to the Wolffire missile, the wounds that had been cut by the extradimensional storm stirred up by the Yapool's resentment aggregate, and the place that had been thoroughly "baptized" by the spatial turbulence, were now completely numb and undetectable.

Humanity's defense forces on this planet are quite technologically advanced—provided they aren't aimed at him.

Samuel silently noted down the man sitting in the Chrome Chester.

Yes, besides Kazuki Komon, he saved Karin.

Estend had said he wanted to get along well with Earthlings, so Samuel thought about it and decided to beat up that bastard first.

The Dark Giant whose hands hurt even more.

Dark Faust regrouped and launched an attack on the two Chromium Chesters that dared to ambush him.

Three dark feathers slashed towards Alpha in a string of beads. Saijo Nagi maneuvered her fighter jet up and down, dodging them one by one with high-speed maneuvers. But before she could regain her flight posture, she heard Komon Kazuki's exclamation from the back seat.

"front!"

As Saijo Nagi stared at the last dark feather, she turned her head. The green light bullet was already approaching, dragging the scorching air and accompanied by a rapid, oppressive roar!

"boom--!"

The fuselage trembled violently, but the expected burning sensation did not come from the surrounding area.

When the intense light subsided and Kazuki Komon regained his vision, all he saw was a timer pressed against the hatch.

The shaking of the fuselage was not due to an attack, but rather the trembling of the giant's arm holding it.

Saijo Nagi looked at the silver giant who had blocked the attack for her with a strange expression.

The giant lowered the fighter jet.

Boom!

Kazuki Komon felt like his head almost hit the cabin ceiling. (Monthly subscription group: 694936135)

Looking down at the display screen again, the damage to the bottom structure of the Chromium Chester jumped by 9%.

Dark Faust did not pursue, as he had to deal with the other two Chrome Chesters.

“Ah…” Jun Sakuma hesitated for a long time before giving his explanation, fearing that Samuel might beat up the Chromium Chester if he got annoyed.

But even he wasn't confident saying it aloud: "They might... not understand the situation, so they prioritized... testing the waters? Now they've probably... finished testing?"

"bother."

After rescuing the young Night Raider member whom Karin called "Big Brother," Samuel clenched his fist and continued to face Dark Faust.

Somewhat subtly, Samuel recalled how he had occasionally tripped up Mebius during the battle on the previous Earth.

Mebius has a really good temper; he's a good person.

"Gamma, attack that dark giant together." Kira Sawa's instruction relieved Komon Kazuki.

Dark Faust finds himself going from one-on-one to one-on-four.

Soon, his one-on-four situation turned into one-on-five.

Upon noticing the commotion, Jun Himeya rushed over and, amidst the radiance of the Evolution Trustee, condensed the juvenile form of Nexus.

"Drink." Nexus brought his right fist close to his chest. A flash of light appeared, and a flowing red light descended from top to bottom, revealing a silver-red warrior before everyone.

Following closely behind was the golden glow that shone down when the Meta Realm was opened.

Knowing he was no match for the enemy, Dark Faust retreated with a cold laugh while the golden ocean failed to catch him.

The red and black figure gradually faded, blending into the vast night.

"Who are you?" Samuel turned to look at the timely reinforcements.

The latter did not answer, but simply nodded to him, and then just as decisively disappeared in the light, as if his appearance just now was an illusion.

Suppressing his doubts, Samuel deactivated his gigantic form.

……

The battle against the giants is over, but the work of TLT is far from finished.

"The alien beast's vibration wave has weakened," Mitsuhiko Ishibori reported.

“Two vibration waves have not disappeared,” Kirasawa Yu said, his face almost unreal against the pale light of the monitor screens in the room full of monitors. “Coordinates 376 and 371. Night Raid Team A is responsible for the target appearing at 371, and 376 is handed over to the Cleaners.”

"Yes!"

After the three Chromium Chesters arrived at the target location and landed, the team members filed out. He and Eisuke Kuraki stared down at the deep red dot on the Beregg, while the others stood guard with their guns at the ready.

After de-giantifying, Samuel handed over control of his body to Jun Sakuma almost the instant he landed: "Hurry up, they're searching us."

Knowing the Night Raid Team's modus operandi, Jun Sakuma adjusted to his slightly tired body and immediately started running out of the forest.

Samuel's voice lowered, and Jun Sakuma sensed something was wrong. He brushed aside the haphazardly growing grass and asked, "Are you alright?"

“Yes, he just needs to go back and rest for a while,” Samuel said.

"……real or fake."

“It’s alright.” Samuel released his senses.

A silver light enveloped Jun Sakuma's body, and he was surprised to feel that he had become much lighter, as if a simple jump could propel him five or six meters.

"Once we get back to the city, I'll conceal my presence, and they shouldn't be able to find us."

Chapter Ten: The Unknown Shadow

Jun Sakuma had the illusion that he was working two jobs.

He fought against the alien beasts in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night he was assigned by Shudo Saya to carry out memory erasure.

Shuto Saya asked him why she couldn't get through to him on the phone before.

He was busy mingling with the Dark Giant and hadn't reached an agreement, so of course he couldn't answer the phone.

He used the excuse "I'm sorry, sir, I slept too soundly" to get away with it, and after apologizing sincerely, he forced himself to cheer up and continue his field mission for the night.

The targets, still shaken, asked him one by one, "Did you see those planes and giants?"

Ah, I see him! He's in the best seat at the scene.

The giant nearly smashed a small plane, and he heard it squeaking pitifully.

Karin woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't find her father. She cautiously dialed Jun Sakuma's cell phone. Jun had to speak softly and gently under the watchful eyes of his colleagues.

After comforting her for a while, I coaxed her to go and rest.

Samuel remained silent in his consciousness space, probably fast asleep, simply relinquishing control of his body to the wretched memory police.

By the way, do the Ultra Warriors sleep with the lights on?

His eyes were still shining brightly; if it weren't for his head being lowered, Jun Sakuma would have almost thought Samuel was still awake.

Jun Sakuma was happy to have regained control of his body—he would have been even happier if he didn't have to work overtime.

The battle with Dark Faust on the outskirts of the city generated a large number of witnesses: campers, people at nearby construction sites, and people on the edge of the city who happened to see the light waves flying around.

Finally, they could contact the publicity department, exaggerate it as a "special thunderstorm phenomenon," and then have the newspaper hold a contest for lightning photography works, making everyone happy.

Those eyewitnesses who were confirmed to be witnesses will need to be contacted by the police one by one.

"Hello, life insurance." A neatly dressed young man rang the doorbell, and the sound of a pet dog howling came from inside.

The homeowner was woken up in a huff. Hearing the noise outside the door, he muttered, "What kind of insurance salesman is this in the middle of the night? Do they think I'm stupid?"

He grabbed the mop and cautiously peered through the peephole.

"Cha-"

There was no rash swindler as expected, only a blinding white light.
