In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

Even if he's a villain, I've never seen such a cruel method.

While he was still observing, Raven inadvertently glanced at the rocks where the ugly general was hiding.

He naturally sensed that someone was hiding there, but he didn't take it seriously.

But his glance sent a chill down the spine of the ugly general, who hurriedly retreated, desperately trying to escape.

Meanwhile, Xin Nan was still fighting the Thornwood Beast, and it was almost time to deliver the final blow.

Xin Nan turned a knob on his belt, and a glowing poster with the character "斩" (meaning "to slay") appeared in front of him.

【Demon-Sealing Slash!】

After gently touching the Blazing Blade to the ultimate attack sticker, the glowing "Slash" character merged into energy and entered the blade.

"hold head high--!"

With a sound like a dragon's roar, Xin Nan slashed forward with his sword. The Thornwood Beast was hit by the Demon-Sealing Slash and its body was immediately locked in place by the force field, unable to move.

Raven, who was in the distance, also saw this scene, so he pulled the Hundred Beast Sword from the ground and threw it directly at the Thornwood Beast.

"laugh!"

The sword pierced straight through the Thornwood Beast, and its body exploded on the spot.

Xin Nan was completely dumbfounded.

"How is this going?"

He didn't even use his Flame Fist, so how did the alien beast explode?

Immediately afterward, as the smoke from the explosion dissipated, a magic stone floated there, while a longsword was stuck in the ground.

When Xin Nan saw the Demon Spirit Stone, he knew that it was the form of the sealed alien beast, but shouldn't it be turned into a card first?

"Sorry, I stole your monster." Raven walked up to him and pulled out the Hundred Beasts Sword.

Then, Raven also pocketed the magic stone.

"Who are you?" Xin Nan asked suspiciously.

He now realized that the grasshopper beast in front of him was gone, and must have been dealt with by the person in front of him.

"Just someone passing by, don't take it too seriously, just pretend you never saw me." With that, Raven picked up his sword and left.

He completed 2% of the task in no time, and he was in a very good mood.

"Wait!" Xin Nan tried to call out to Raven, but Raven didn't stop and left directly.

Qi Dong stared blankly at Raven as he left, the scene of Raven tearing apart the alien beast with his bare hands still lingering in his mind.

"He's truly an amazing person," Qi Dong exclaimed.

"I almost forgot to ask his name, so I could thank him." Qi Dong realized this and quickly tried to chase after him.

But when they got to the highway, they found that Raven was nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, Dongshan drove over with Meizhen and happened to see Qidong.

"Qidong, are you alright?" Dongshan asked him hurriedly after getting out of the car.

After all, this cousin was chased by a monster three times in one day, which is really unlucky.

"I'm fine. Did you see anyone coming from that side?" Qidong asked.

“I don’t have time to pay attention to that. You’ve worried me to death. Until we find out why the mutant beast is tracking you, you should stay home these days,” Dongshan said to him.

"Xin Nan!" Mei Zhen looked towards the shore and saw Xin Nan, who had already disarmed and reassembled, walking towards them.

"So fast? Have all the mutant beasts been sealed away?!" Meizhen's eyes lit up. After all, two mutant beasts appeared at the same time this time. She estimated that it would be difficult for Xinnan to deal with even one of them.

Upon hearing Meizhen's words, Xinnan shook his head. He didn't know how to explain what had just happened.

"There's no seal?" Meizhen suddenly became serious and asked, "What about the mutant beasts? Did they just run away like that?"

“No, the mutant beasts should have all been eliminated,” Xin Nan said. “It’s just that I didn’t eliminate them.”

"I saw it too. It was a strange person dressed very scantily, about my age. He was the one who killed those two mutant beasts with a sword!" Qi Dong said.

"Where is he?" Meizhen asked quickly.

She believed that such a capable person who could eliminate the alien beasts must be won over.

"I was just asking if you'd seen that person. He saved me, and I haven't had a chance to properly thank him yet," Qi Dong said with some regret.

"It's alright. Someone as extraordinary as him wouldn't just make a move this once. Let's keep a closer eye out next time," Dongshan said reassuringly.

"Qidong, why don't you come back to the lab with us? We can investigate why the mutant beast is chasing you," Meizhen suggested.

"Then I'll head back now; I still need to practice the piano later," Xin Nan said to them before leaving alone.

Dongshan watched Xinnan's departing figure with a complicated expression.

He simply couldn't understand why Xin Nan was so focused on his own affairs and so indifferent to matters concerning the mutant beasts, treating it as if it were just a task to be completed.

I wish I could become an armor summoner too.

Dongshan thought to himself, feeling unwilling.

Qi Dong, who was standing to the side, also looked at Dong Shan, as if he knew something.

……

Inside the shadow base.

"What? Both of the mutant beasts we sent out were wiped out!" Shadow Tyrant said in disbelief.

"I am powerless to help," the ugly general said, his face filled with fear.

"The Fire Armor has become so powerful?" Shadow Tyrant asked.

"Your Majesty, it wasn't the Fire Armor that did it, but a strange person who destroyed it," the Ugly General replied cautiously.

"Oh? Strange person, isn't he the armor summoner?" Shadow King looked at Ugly General, signaling him to continue his report.

"Through my secret observation, I learned that the man simply used his mortal strength to tear the grasshopper beast apart..." The ugly general still couldn't forget that scene and broke out in a cold sweat.

"what?"

Even the Shadow Master was dumbfounded.

……

Chapter 314 Applying for a Photographer Job

"Who exactly is that person?" Shadow Master asked, puzzled.

"I think it's best if we don't provoke this person," the ugly general said cautiously.

"Hmph, how dare he ruin my plans? I won't let him get away with this!" Shadow King gradually calmed down and said, "Ugly General."

"Your subordinate is here," the ugly general replied humbly.

"The next time he shows up, remember to keep a close eye on that guy. I want to see if he really does have three heads and six arms," ​​Shadow Tyrant commanded.

"Ah...yes...yes." The ugly general reluctantly agreed.

……

On the other side, after leaving the coast, Raven walked for an unknown amount of time before suddenly stopping.

Looking at the towering buildings of the city in front of him, he didn't know where to go for a moment.

If I had known better, I wouldn't have left so arrogantly. Maybe I could have gotten a meal at Xinnan's place.

"System, are you really that ruthless? You just give me an ID card and that's it? You don't even provide any money or a place to stay?" Raven said helplessly.

"Unable to answer," the system said.

"Forget it, I can't count on you. Luckily, I won't starve anytime soon," Raven said, scratching his head in frustration. "But how are we going to find a place to stay?"

After wandering around aimlessly, Raven saw a poster put up by a magazine that offered a large reward for photos of Armor Heroes fighting against alien beasts.

Requirements are as follows:

The clearer the photo, the higher the price. If the photographer doesn't have a camera, the magazine can hire them as a temporary photographer, with a starting daily wage of 500.

Then comes a bunch of disclaimers, such as stating that they are not responsible for any issues related to personal safety.

Therefore, most people backed down after seeing these things.

Just kidding, people are trying to avoid mutant beasts like the plague, who would be so stupid as to go up to them?

What's the use of a high salary if you have money but no life to enjoy it?

But this gave Raven a pleasant surprise.

Isn't this perfect for him?

So he followed the address to the location of the magazine office.

"Hello, I came here because I saw that job posting." After taking the elevator to a floor of an office building, Raven pushed open the door and went straight in.

"Please, please have a seat." A middle-aged man wearing glasses, who had been looking worried, was overjoyed when he saw Raven.

"I'm Wang Ming, the editor-in-chief of this magazine. Are you here to apply for a temporary photographer position?"

"Let me make one thing clear first: mutant beasts are extremely dangerous. If anything happens to you, our magazine will not bear any legal responsibility," the middle-aged man said.

"Don't worry about that, I know everything," Raven assured him, patting his chest.

Just kidding, what are alien beasts? He's not afraid of monsters.

"Do you know how to use a camera?" Wang Ming asked.

He worried that Raven was just a reckless young man with a lot of guts, and even if he dared to go to the scene, the photos he took would look like a ghost, which wouldn't do.

“If you’re not comfortable with that, I can try it out on the spot and guarantee it will reach a professional level,” Raven continued.

"That's great, I feel relieved to hear that. Let's give it a try." Seeing Lei Wen's extraordinary demeanor and confident appearance, Wang Ming felt that he had finally met a reliable person today.

It's worth noting that another magazine's sales have been phenomenal these past few days, thanks to their reporters capturing high-definition close-up photos of Armor Heroes and Alien Beasts, unveiling the mysteries of these urban wonders to the public.

This made them, who had always focused on gossip news, envious. However, their own reporters didn't dare to go to the scene to find the alien beasts and resigned or went on strike one after another. So he spent a lot of money to find someone who dared to film the alien beasts and Armor Heroes.

But after waiting for a long time, only a few people came, and those people didn't even know how to use a camera. The pictures they took were so blurry they were unbearable to look at.
