Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

"Concentrate your attack on one point!" Aihara Ryu roared, pressing the fire button: "Wing Ray!"

The loaded vessel, having completed its orbit and adjustments, simultaneously fired a variable beam.

Two beams of light struck the middle of Astron's horns, severing them amidst a roar so loud it could induce tinnitus.

"Beautiful!" Aihara Ryu exclaimed.

Immediately afterward, I heard cold water coming from Amamiya Kinomi over the communicator: "Kelbim has arrived, and there are new monsters too... Registration code name, Barton."

"Really?! That highly poisonous volcanic bird?" Aihara Ryu sat in the cabin and looked around. After turning around, he finally saw two black dots in the distance.

With its horn broken, Astron lost all will to fight. Ignoring the fact that its back was wide open, it turned around, ran a few steps, and then frantically dug at the ground with its hands and feet, trying to burrow back underground.

Given the urgency of the situation, without regard for the already escaped Astron, Mebius took the initiative to meet the newly arrived Kerubim.

But Kerubim was clearly unwilling to fight first. It waved its claws, and Barton, who was standing nearby, flapped its wings and flew past it, heading straight for Mebius.

“The old method, aim for Patton’s venom sac!” Aihara Ryu said.

"Ah, leave it to me!" Ikaruga Sadaharu replied; shooting was his forte. Last time they faced Barton, they were just newbies who had joined GUYS, but not anymore. They were determined to teach this monster a lesson!

Barton's beak was extremely sharp; a full-force thrust would be enough to pierce through his defenses, followed by the release of its biological toxins that would knock him out. Having learned his lesson, Mebius dared not be careless and dodged Barton's attack with a side somersault.

Before he could catch his breath, Kerubim's long claws came hurtling towards him.

It was clever enough to direct Patton to attack the outposts while it launched a surprise attack from behind.

Mebius was struck in the chest by its claw and retreated hastily, enduring the pain.

Patton circled around and attacked from behind. The beams fired by the Wing and Loader hit its wings, but it didn't care about the two fighters. It only wanted to take down the most annoying guy in front of it.

Because the mysterious voice gave this command, and this voice occupied its brain, it obediently acted according to the voice.

“Kelbim is commanding Barton!” Teppei Kuze noticed Kelbim’s claws waving at that moment: “It’s probably because its second vocal organ resonated with the research institute’s sound emission device, allowing it to use the power of induced sound waves!”

They've learned just how troublesome it is to have monsters under unified command.

Mebius was struggling to defend himself against their attacks, let alone find an opportunity to counterattack.

Not far away, accompanied by a vast, dark swarm of insects, Insectas approached with a hissing cry.

Unlike Kerubim, who was able to remain conscious and, in turn, utilize the induced sound waves, Insectas was the one most severely affected by the negative influence.

So much so that although the swarm followed it, it seemed as if it were accompanied by something particularly terrifying, hovering a hundred meters away. Upon spotting its target, the swarm almost impatiently broke away from Insectas and flew towards GUYS's fighter.

The number of insects was so great that they almost filled the entire field of vision of Aihara Ryu and the others. When the light shone on them, the swarm was briefly cleared, but the passage was filled in the next second, and the insects continued to swarm up.

These insects were acting so fearlessly that Marina Kazama exclaimed anxiously, "The sound of the engine... there are insects crawling into the engine!"

"This is bad! Have all these monsters gone mad?" Ikaruga Sadaharu shouted into the communicator, "Request activation of meteor technology!"

The situation was critical, and Shingo Sakamizu approved Ikaruga Sadaharu's application almost immediately.

The Loader's Blinger fan unfolded, creating a massive whirlwind that swept up the entire swarm of insects. The whirlwind also affected Insectas, who was directing the swarm from the side, knocking it to the ground as well.

Aihara Ryu piloted the Flying Wing and activated maneuver mode. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Specium missiles all landed squarely on Insectas, especially targeting the vocal organ in the center of its body used to control the swarm of insects.

Because Sekhtas's abdomen was charred black, the swarm of insects scattered on the ground with a soft rustling sound, and an insect rain began to fall.

"Hissing—!"

The already irritable Insectas became even more enraged by the pain, and lightning surged from its three giant horns, striking the two fighter jets repeatedly.

The amplification from the induced sound waves was indeed very strong. The electric shocks from Cyclops were much denser than previously recorded, and the surrounding airspace was almost turned into a pool of lightning amidst flashes of light.

In other words, the fighter jets under the Meteor technology have greatly improved their maneuverability; otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to evade such a dense attack.

On the other side, Mebius was already showing signs of weakness under the combined attack of Barton and Kelbeom, and a bruise appeared on his chest.

The light turned red.

"No, Ryu and the others can't hold out for long either. They'll be defeated sooner or later if this continues," Tetsuo Kuze said urgently. "Destroy the sonic transmitter! Otherwise, there will be no way to salvage the situation!"

"Wait! Are you going to destroy that expensive piece of equipment?!" Toriyama's assistant felt uneasy just thinking about the cost of that device. After all, it incorporated alien technology, and it wasn't something that could be developed so easily.

In the institute's machine room, the bespectacled researcher, drenched in sweat, didn't bother to wipe it away. He kept adjusting the backup device while looking up at the scrolling audio wavelength data on the screen, trying to analyze how to counteract the runaway induced sound waves.

"Please give me some more time, I'm sure I can..."

“But we can’t wait any longer!” Even Secretary Yuan could assess the current crisis: “Dealing with the three-headed monster is far too difficult. If we delay any longer, we’re doomed!”

The limited-time availability of Meteor Technology is about to end.

Although the thunderstorm emitted by Sekhtas was less intense, it still left Aihara Ryu and the others breathless.

"Technology is meant to minimize damage. Over-cherishing these devices can lead to irreparable casualties. Is that something you want to see?" Misaki Yuki's tone was unusually cold and stern.

The bespectacled researcher stopped typing away on the keyboard. He looked up at the still-scrolling audio wavelength data, and a few drops of sweat fell from his chin onto his now dusty clothes.

"I……"

"Mebius is doing his best to protect us, and everyone in GUYS is also protecting us. If we are defeated because of our recklessness, who will stop the monsters?"

"I... Waaaaaah!" The bespectacled researcher slammed his fist on the control panel. It was his fault. As the designer, the equipment he had created had too many flaws, which led to this result. His hard work... No, he couldn't continue to be so reckless.

"Who will take responsibility for destroying the research institute's hard-earned achievements?!" Inside the Phoenix Nest, Toriyama's assistant argued.

"I'll be in charge."

Toriyama's assistant looked at the screen in surprise, while Kuze Teppei and Amaya Kinomi smiled and said, "Captain Sakami!"

The fighter jet cut through the sky, and Shingo Sakami piloted the Propulsion towards the battlefield.

Mebius was pushed aside by Patton, and Kerubim, now free, unleashed several fireballs at the Propulsion. However, Shingo Sakami, who rarely piloted fighter jets, was not out of practice and dodged the fireballs with a few turns, eliciting cheers from the Phoenix Nest control room.

Mebius mustered all his strength to shove Barton aside and rush to stop the Kelbium attacking the Propulsion. Shingo Sakami, without hesitation, escaped the Kelbium's attack range and quickly opened fire on the expensive sonic transmitter.

At the same time, a silver-black light descended from the sky, slamming Patton, who was trying to catch up with and stop the Drive, to the ground.

Why Patton? Because its bright colors make it the most eye-catching.

Under the influence of the induced sound waves, Samuel's already straightforward logical thinking became even more rigid.

Catch the most conspicuous thing and beat it up first.

Chapter Forty-Four: The Return of Thoughts

Logically speaking, Mebius should be the most eye-catching player on the field.

The silver and red color scheme, and those striking large, bulbous eyes.

But Samuel remembered that Mebius kindly reminded him to avoid Bogaru's self-destruction on the deserted island in the Pacific, and that the Earthling named Aihara Ryu seemed to care a lot about Mebius.

The guide said that we should get along well with Earthlings.

The guide said that the second mission is to defeat Ultraman, which means defeating the monsters before them and protecting more people. In this respect, they have to defeat them.

The facilitator is definitely right.

So Samuel set his sights on Patton, who was about to attack the Propulsion.

The fiery red bird was slammed to the ground from mid-air, causing a massive earthquake that created a huge crater and spread spiderweb-like cracks.

At the same time, the inducing sound wave transmitter was destroyed, and Samuel felt a lightness in his head as the buzzing sound in his ear finally disappeared.

It's finally gone; it was even noisier than Pasifica.

...Pasifica? Isn't that some special plant-producing area that the guide mentioned?

Samuel froze, bewildered by the sudden thought that had popped into his head. Barton, having caught his breath, regained his composure.

Shingo Sakami pilots the Propulsion to support the Wing and Loader, which are in dire straits after exiting maneuver mode.

Barton shook his head, stared at Samuel who was standing still, and suddenly hissed angrily. He turned around and spewed a pillar of fire at Kerubim, who was fighting Mebius.

Kerubim, claws outstretched, struggled against Mebius. He was sprayed with intense heat and immediately lost his grip. Mebius then flipped him over, and Kerubim howled in pain.

Without the effect of the inducing sound waves, Kerubim could no longer control Barton. Given Barton's volatile nature, once it regained its senses, it would immediately seek revenge. So it abandoned Samuel and tossed Mebius aside, charging towards Kerubim, who had rolled over a few times and was about to get up.

Mebius was somewhat bewildered by the unexpected turn of events. He glanced at Barton, who was fighting Kelbim with feathers flying everywhere, and then at Samuel, who had been keeping his head down and not knowing what he was doing. He then chose to go and support the GUYS fighters.

The Flying Wing, struck by Insectas's electric current, was now teetering on the brink of collapse, alarms blaring throughout the cabin.

Mebius, who arrived just in time, caught it. Aihara Ryu nodded to the giant of light who was right next to him: "You saved me again."

As Insectas crackled with electricity, attempting to repeat its previous tactic, Mebius conjured a lightsaber from his left arm, cleaved a bolt of lightning in two, and then held the blade horizontally in front of him. Braving Insectas's electric current, he swiftly closed in, cutting through the area blasted by the Specium missile and slicing the massive monster in two.

Golden light spilled from the cut surface, the raging electric current dissipated, and Insectas slowly collapsed, while a violent explosion swept through a large area of ​​forest.

Ikaruga Sadaharu breathed a sigh of relief and, together with Kazama Marina, piloted the Loader toward the other side of the battlefield.

Barton is still relentlessly battling Kerubim.

You give me a whip, I'll return a pillar of fire.

Kerubim's tail whip is very strong, so Barton is being extra careful.

Barton's venom is very potent, so Kerubim doesn't easily let it get close.

Teppei Kuze stared at the monitor screen with a sense of unreality—just a few minutes ago he was feeling powerless because there were too many monsters, but now it seemed like they could sit back and drink coffee while watching two monsters fight each other.

Aihara Ryu, who had climbed out of the Wing, gazed with the same subtle expression at the battlefield where the two monsters were tearing each other apart.

Samuel had been standing there like a stake for quite a while.

He felt that something was wrong with him.

The body's functions should be fine, but...
