Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

Samuel's attack failed, so he immediately leaped into the air. Bogaru teleported to another location, fired several destructive light bullets, and then, ignoring Samuel's reaction, rushed towards "Scrap 929".

But she forgot that Ultraman Mebius was standing next to her.

Mebius assumed a fighting stance, taking two steps to block between her and "Scum 929," and an elbow strike halted Bogaru's charge. He then twisted his foot, spun around, grabbed Bogaru's neck, and flung her backward.

At that moment, Samuel's attack arrived, his powerful kick, charged from a thousand meters high, aimed straight at Bogaru's head. Mebius intended to follow up with a side kick, but upon looking up, he saw Samuel's flying kick, wreathed in silver flames, and had no choice but to retreat.

This brief opening gave Bogaru a chance to catch her breath. She rolled around on the spot a few times, causing Samuel's flying kick to miss again. Fortunately, Samuel held back at the last moment, only kicking a large hole in the wide intersection in the city center.

Bogaru stood up, swung his huge pincers at Samuel, and threw out two purple orbs of light that crackled with lightning. Samuel dodged to the side, and the orbs hit Mebius, whose vision was temporarily blocked by Samuel.

The GUYS members slightly opened their mouths.

This operation...

Then, they witnessed a “seamless” collaboration.

Samuel attempted to follow up his beam attack combo with a fighting technique, but Mebius's cutting beam struck Samuel's beam blade, successfully "saving" Bogaru.

Mebius was about to charge up for the Mebium Ray when Samuel rushed in and started a fight with Bogaru, throwing punches and kicks at him.

In a sense, it seemed like everyone present was facing a 1v2 situation.

Fortunately, although the scene was chaotic for a while, it did buy GUYS time to lead "scumbag 929" away.

When Bogaru finally came to her senses thanks to the two's amazing teamwork, all she saw was "Xiepin929's" retreating figure.

Another food item has sprouted wings and flown away.

Prolonged appetite

Unable to satisfy her cravings, and fueled by the ferocity ignited by the battle, Bogaru lost her mind. Driven to rage, she unfurled her fleshy wings, covered in fangs:

If the food is lost, then you can be my food!

She flapped her fleshy wings and flew into the sky, then swooped down, with Mebius and Samuel dodging her. Just as she was about to rush towards a tall building, Samuel reached out and flicked a silver whip, which wrapped around her tail. He twisted his waist and swung his arm, slapping her into a park.

Mebius rushed over to subdue her, but Samuel just happened to release silver flames along the light whip. The flames burned Bogaru and also burned Mebius, who had just grabbed her fleshy wings.

Mebius, in pain, released his grip, and Bogaru let out a screech, voluntarily severing its tail to break free from the light whip's restraints.

Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, the man in black, who had been watching the battle for a long time, raised his right arm, releasing a silver-blue light that coalesced into a humanoid figure clad in armor.

"sword--!"

Bogaru let out a furious roar, the appearance of the sword jolting her back to reality. Now was not the time to gamble everything; these three men before her were all her enemies. Her priority was to protect herself.

The sword, showing no mercy, brazenly gathered its power and unleashed a blue beam of light. Just as the beam was about to strike, Bogaru decisively retreated, transforming into a phantom and disappearing in an instant. The blue beam of light struck the building behind her.

Mebius looked at the ruins, a scene of fire and collapse, blasted apart by the beam of light. Debris littered the ground, most buildings were destroyed, and black smoke billowed from the ruins. He whirled around, clenched his fist, and stared at the unrepentant sword.

The collapsed buildings increased the workload for the rescue teams.

Samuel also looked at the newly appeared giant with hostility.

But for Yu Jian, their hostility did not bother him; his only goal was to kill Bogaru, and he didn't care about anything else.

Now that Bodhi has disappeared, he has no obligation to explain his actions, so he raises his right hand, which transforms into a ball of silver-blue light and flies into the sky.

Mebius angrily swung his fist and vanished as light particles.

Samuel took one last look at the pile of ruins that signaled the rescue team's overtime work, and then too turned into a phantom and vanished.

As GUYS returned to base, members of the Kanto Disaster Relief Team headquarters, who had received a request for help from the branch, were already anxiously crouching on the transport plane bound for Akatsuki.

As expected, Estend received a mobilization order from Hasegawa Hayato:

"The botanical garden you visited is in Xiaocheng, right? That's perfect, you don't need to come back. We'll bring you the equipment, you can go directly to the disaster area to join the rescue efforts!"

Estend glanced at Samuel, who had returned to his side and was now frowning, and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, you're destined to be a workaholic."

Chapter Thirty-One: The Unknown Mail

Phoenix Nest.

GUYS JAPAN Acting Director Misaki Yuki entered the control room with the test order for a new type of artificial evolution monster.

Toriyama's aide posted it almost immediately.

Seeing the complicated expressions on Hibino Mirai and Aihara Ryu's faces, she explained the purpose of developing the new artificial evolution monster:

"To fight against that powerful force, the blue giant codenamed 'Sword,' it is essential for GUYS to enhance their combat capabilities."

Her voice was gentle, yet it suddenly made both of them feel heavy-hearted.

"In addition, our communications department also reported something."

She paused, then continued, "Someone sent an internal email to the communications department. There was no sender, the IP address was untraceable, and the content was a picture of an unknown silver-black life form with the note 'Samuel' attached."

"Samuel...?" Marina Kazama asked, "Isn't this some kind of hacker prank?"

Misaki Yuki shook her head: "The information security department couldn't find the sender's address. Even if it were the best hacker on Earth, GUYS's information security department would definitely be able to find some clues, but this email... is untraceable."

“Samuel, a prophet in Judaism, the angel of death, representing ‘wrath’ among the seven deadly sins, meaning ‘a toxic messenger of light’,” Teppei Kuze immediately flipped to the information: “Is this the name of that silver-black unknown life form?”

“The other side clearly possesses information technology superior to ours. You’re right, ‘Samuel’ is very likely the name of the Silver Giant,” Misaki Yuki said. “So we named his registration code ‘Samuel’.”

“Sword, Samuel, there are more and more giants appearing out of nowhere—” Toriyama’s aide sighed.

Unlike the others who were engrossed in thinking about the giants, whose allegiance was unknown, Aihara Ryu was constantly recalling Captain Serizawa's dying words.

Captain Serizawa sacrificed himself, piloting the plane into the monster and entrusting GUYS to him.

But on the day the unknown life form snatched "Scrap 929", he saw Captain Serizawa dressed in black again in Xiaocheng.

That was definitely the captain; he couldn't possibly have mistaken him for someone else.

Captain Serizawa didn't recognize him. He not only coldly asked who he was, but also disappeared in the next instant.

No, wait, why is the captain who told him about the Five Great Oaths of Ultra looking so unfamiliar?

Captain Serizawa, what's wrong with you?

Aihara Ryu stared blankly into thought, then turned and sat down.

Hibino Mirai noticed Aihara Ryu's unusual silence and assumed he was thinking of something.

He then asked, "What does the dragon think of those two giants?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Aihara Ryu walked straight outside, giving off an air of "keep away."

Hibino Mirai quickly apologized and chased after him.

We'll leave aside the various controversies surrounding GUYS for now.

At the Kanto Disaster Relief Team headquarters, Estend squatted in his dormitory, crunching on potato chips he had smuggled from Yonahara Sora, while looking at the intelligence information in the GUYS system on his micro-terminal.

Samuel sat quietly beside him, studying the thick instruction manual, his eyes occasionally glancing at the bag of potato chips.

To be honest, after spending a lot of time with his teammates, Samuel started to become more "human," which filled Estender with hope.

He picked out a perfectly shaped potato chip and handed it to Samuel: "Just say you want one, have one?"

Samuel took the potato chips and, like Estend, stuffed them all into his mouth.

...then he covered his mouth with a strange expression.

"Hahahaha—" Estend burst into laughter: "Super concentrated wasabi flavor, isn't it great! Fat Kong bought the wrong flavor, and I'm the only one among the others who can eat it, so this whole pack is mine. Looks like you can't handle this either, hahahaha..."

Samuel took a long time to catch his breath and silently looked at Estend, who kept stuffing potato chips into his mouth.

Estend read a sense of "accusation" in his eyes, and ate with even greater relish.

Well... but... the new data from GUYS in the terminal is even better.

"Another experiment with artificial monsters? Good luck. The method is quite imaginative, more sophisticated than the mechanical modifications of the Second Research Institute," Eistend swiped his finger across the screen: "Registration code... Sword, the mysterious blue giant..."

Estend recently completed his first intelligence exchange with Yapool. The weakened data of Mebius, which was praised by Bout, greatly boosted Bout's confidence in his work.

Of course, the weakened data might lead Yapool to believe they were ready and to launch an early attack. Therefore, he added some vague information about the Land of Light to the intelligence report. For example, capturing the vague figure of a silver-red giant, as long as it made them think that other Ultra Warriors from the Land of Light would appear on Earth.

As for whether the other Ultra Warriors will actually come? Who cares? Let's keep Yapool in check for now. The longer we can keep them in check, the better chance we can give Samuel to break free from their control.

The email I sent them yesterday must have kept GUYS busy for a while; Estend is figuring out what message to send next.

According to the files he found in the GUYS database, Earthlings have already begun modifying monsters, and although it is still in its early stages, they have already achieved considerable success. The artificial monster Mikulas is the best proof of this.

But that's far from enough.

The Yapools' goal was to conquer this remote planet, not because it had any particularly attractive mineral deposits, but because it was valued by the Land of Light.

Conquering this planet under the protection of the Land of Light is enough to make the Yapools' fame resound throughout the universe. Moreover, the defeat of the Land of Light can plunge neutral planetary civilizations into fear of the Yapool army, making them the best material for the Yapools to collect energy and strengthen the "Grievance Aggregate".

Currently, it appears that only one Ultra Warrior is definitively identified as being on Earth: Ultraman Mebius. There is also a blue-armored giant who is suspected to be an Ultra Warrior.

Eistend had already experienced the power of Yapool's monster army, not to mention the anti-planet weapon his teacher was researching, Sindzmus. Could they stop Yapool? Eistend couldn't be sure.

All he could do was continuously help strengthen the forces protecting Earth. The Yapool's attack was thwarted, and if the Land of Light's reinforcements arrived quickly, perhaps they would retreat, and Earth wouldn't follow in Pasifica's footsteps—if he hid well, he might even be granted permission to continue observing the planet for a while longer, giving him ample time to travel around.

“This is troublesome…” Estend thought, “I’m not even sure when they will come or who they will send. At most, I can tell the Earthlings about this so that the Earth Defense Force can prepare in advance. Whether they believe me or not is another matter.”

Estend recalled the two young men he had met at Mount Kiribuki.

“Yes, first of all, we should establish trust.” Estend’s eyes lit up, and he started typing rapidly on the screen again.

Beside him, Samuel carefully picked up a quarter-sized piece of mustard potato chip.
