Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

xi～sousou.

The once tranquil forest was suddenly filled with the sound of flapping wings, and several dark shadows, spreading their wings, flew frantically through the outstretched branches and leaves.

Ignoring his heinous actions, he noticed the blood seeping from the back of his hand, and the faint stinging pain made the man's expression even more ferocious.

"Damn it..."

"I need more power... hatred, jealousy... it seems I need to provoke Xia Muxiong again..."

The man's eyes revealed a longing, which eventually turned into greed, as he realized that Hui Xia could use the power of monsters in human form.

Then, after calming down, he recalled the devil's warning.

"Do not attempt to contact him; with your weakness, you will be devoured by him."

"So cowardly, yet dares to call himself the strongest darkness?..."

Although that's what they say.

But the man also understood the power of that demon.

Since that's what they said, it's certainly right to be cautious.

The other party is unlikely to cheat me at the moment.

After all, she was now his most useful tool.

Besides, he's completely powerless to resist right now...

Even if you don't want to admit it.

But actually.

That dark power was enough to make anyone tremble.

When will I be able to possess that kind of power...?

Then there's no need to obey his orders anymore.

The man's ambition grew ever greater.

The man glanced at the unconscious Noi lying on the ground, a look of struggle on his face. He wanted to devour Noi's power directly, so that he could become an even stronger darkness.

But he didn't dare.

Even the greatest greed will be restrained when faced with a demon that can crush you at any moment.

I don't understand why we value this guy so much...

However, I don't care about that kind of attention.

A look of pity appeared in his eyes as he looked at Noi.

We're both pawns, but you're clearly in a much worse situation...

He abandoned the idea of ​​devouring Faust, but he also did not intend to take Noi with him.

"You just want me to rescue him, right?"

He muttered to himself, as if he were deliberately speaking to someone else.

The man glanced one last time at the lifeless body of Noi and shook his head.

good luck.

Then he left without looking back.

Turning around, his face was filled with a cold and sinister expression.

"Power, the power of darkness, will eventually decay."

The man walked away, leaving only Noi lying on the ground with barely any breath left.

...

Although Noi fell into a coma, she was still somewhat conscious.

The man's sudden burst of murderous intent made him think he was going to die there.

But to his surprise, just when the other party was about to make up their mind, they suddenly gave up.

"That voice sounds familiar, but who could it be?"

Noi's thoughts were somewhat scattered, and the aftereffects of forcibly concentrating his mind quickly took effect on his body.

As her mind suddenly relaxed, she couldn't help but think about the man's identity.

Noi's consciousness continued to blur as she subconsciously pondered.

Just as Noi realized she was about to completely lose consciousness, she vaguely heard someone talking.

Unfortunately, before he could hear clearly, he completely lost consciousness.

"Brother, shall we take him back?"

A pretty girl, dressed in rural attire, carrying a basket on her back and wearing a straw hat woven from flower petals, had clear, bright eyes filled with pleading for help.

She crouched down and, after realizing the man was still breathing, looked at his face, which showed pain even though he was unconscious, and inexplicably felt a desire to help him.

"Ah... Lingcai, Dad doesn't allow us to bring back any shady characters, and look at his wounds, could he be a fugitive? Deep in the mountains, who else would come here for no reason but us..."

The man the girl called her brother looked very strong. He also carried a basket on his back, held a sharp long knife in his hand, and had a dagger strapped to his leg.

They were originally going up the mountain to hunt some game to nourish their sick mother, but now they haven't found any prey and have to bring back another burden...

Especially for people of unknown origin, doing this would get them scolded by their father.

The girl's brother shuddered at the thought that he, as the eldest brother, would be severely scolded by their strict father after bringing this man home.

"Onii-chan~~"

The girl noticed the boy's hesitation.

She held his hand and gently shook it, her voice sweet and tender.

"Alright, then let's take him back."

The boy reluctantly agreed. No matter how much pressure he felt, it couldn't compare to the enthusiasm he felt from his sister's sweet call of "brother."

There's nothing we can do; Reina is just too kind-hearted.

That said, I really can't take Lingcai with me when I go up the mountain anymore, no matter how much she begs me.

Last time, we said, "Bunny is so cute, how can you eat a bunny?"

Please, dear sister, we came here for the braised rabbit heads!

Now we have to bring back another guy who doesn't seem quite right...

"Brother, are you thinking about something rude?"

Aoki Reina first took out some ointment from the basket behind her and treated Noi's wounds simply. Then she saw her older brother standing aside in a daze with a strange expression on his face.

He asked, both curious and helpless.

"No, how could that be? I was thinking about how to get him down the mountain."

Aoki Reize chuckled dryly and scratched his head as if to cover it up.

"Hey? Brother, aren't you going to carry this gentleman down with you?"

"..."

"Oh...that's what I meant."

Ling Ze's forced smile vanished instantly, and his face fell.

“If you’re not willing, I’ll carry this gentleman down on my back.”

Reina blinked, then squatted down to try and lift Noi up on her back.

"No, no, no, I'd love to!"

Oh, little sister, when will you be this gentle with your brother?

Even if you could share some of the tenderness you show to the rabbit with your brother, that would be nice!

Ling Ze looked miserable, but luckily he was in great shape, so he managed to carry Noi on his back in no time.

"It's still quite a distance from home, so please be sure to let me know if you can't keep going!"

Lingcai carried her brother's basket on her chest, and the girl sandwiched between the two baskets looked quite comical.

To avoid obstructing the view, Lingcai had to take off her brightly colored flower hat, causing her long, smooth hair to fall down her body. Then she took the lead and walked down the mountain.

"Don't worry, I can manage this distance."

Ling Ze glanced at the village surrounded by mountains in the distance. It didn't seem that far away.

perhaps...

Chapter 66 The Lament of the Kind (Part 1)

...

"Whew...I'm exhausted!"

Ling Ze felt extremely sore all over, especially his back, which was uncomfortable when he straightened up. His shoulders also felt like they were out of his control. The discomfort caused by these factors made him feel weak all over.

He wiped the sweat from his face with some difficulty; such a simple action was now proving quite challenging.

He glanced inside the room and unconsciously revealed an expression of envy.

"..."

Aoba's father silently lit a cigarette, sat on the stone bench outside the house, and subconsciously glanced inside.

He vaguely saw his beloved daughter carefully taking care of a man he was meeting for the first time. Her gentle demeanor made him feel a little annoyed, and he subconsciously took a deep breath.

"call..."

A hazy cloud of smoke slowly billowed from the mouth of the weathered middle-aged man. He watched the smoke drift away in the wind and said slowly, "Don't just stand there, go cook. Remember to prepare some porridge for that guy."

"Yes..."

Ling Ze's expression became subtle, and in the end, he could only respond with a mournful face.
