Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

If Lomia still had her other arm, he would definitely be getting another punch, but at this moment, her other shoulder was completely empty.

Lomia felt as if something was tripping her up, causing her to lose her balance.

The force of her punches only propelled her forward, causing her to crash into the ground at an even faster pace. Her head hit a rock, resulting in a large gash that quickly covered half her face in blood.

Immediately afterwards, she felt suffocating pressure in her abdomen, real pressure—Hasegawa Hayato's foot slammed down hard on her back.

"Ughhh—!" Whether from pain or exertion, Lomia slapped the ground, using Hasegawa Hayato's leg to prop herself up, and then rolled away to get away.

She stood up, seemingly forgetting her long-range light projectile, and charged forward despite her face being covered in blood and ash.

Hayato Hasegawa wasn't unwilling to dodge, but he was truly unable to move. He had exhausted his remaining strength in the previous moment, and although he was still standing, he was merely an empty shell.

His gaze was no longer fixed on his opponents; his dark, somewhat unfocused pupils turned to his teammates.

Aiba plays.

Go to that battlefield. With Yu there, you might still have a chance to survive.

Dark pupils met dark gun barrels.

Lomia had already lunged at him, blocking his view.

He heard the angry voice of the beastly alien in the suit, as well as the distinctive "buzzing" sound of Aiba Kanade's light gun when it was activated.

Lomia swung her fist, which struck the tree trunk to the right of Hasegawa Hayato's head with no accuracy. There were no splinters flying, and she fell softly to the ground with almost no force.

Hasegawa Hayato looked down and saw the burn wound on her back from the laser gun; it was charred black and went straight to her heart.

At a crucial moment, his clumsy teammate, who always missed his target, finally proved reliable for once.

Hasegawa Hayato wanted to praise him, but he coughed up a mouthful of blood and could only mumble something incoherently. It was unclear whether he heard it or not, before he collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.

It must have hurt a lot to fall directly to the ground, but he was completely unaware of it.

All I could see was a pool of crimson background that grew brighter and brighter, while the surrounding scenery grew increasingly dim.

Finally, it froze in complete darkness.

"Lomia!"

Cataslow finally realized that he still cared about his assistant's life, because the emotions surging in his chest at this moment were much stronger and more intense than he had expected.

He should have noticed it sooner; otherwise, he wouldn't have been staring intently at Lomia, so much so that he didn't realize Estend's actions.

That guy inexplicably pounced on me just now, probably because he grabbed the beam gun that Lomia had taken from him at the beginning!

Earth's bugs!

Traitor to the Apollonians!

How dare they... How dare they!

Lomia is about to eliminate that bug, all because of that traitor!

He glared hatefully at Hasegawa Hayato, whose eyes were already closed, then turned and lunged at Estender, intending to snatch his beam gun.

His left hand had been broken by a lower being, rendering him unable to use light projectiles and forcing him to resort to hand-to-hand combat, which he despised. But that wasn't a problem; all he wanted now was to kill this traitor, to kill the traitor who had killed Lomia, the one who had killed him!

Estend was beaten again by Lomia. He crawled over to get the beam gun, and it took him a lot of effort to sit up and aim. He was completely unable to resist at this moment and could only use his last bit of strength to hold onto the beam gun tightly.

Two bright students from Alantar wrestled together in the most awful way a child would fight, getting covered in mud.

Kataslo gripped the lower part of the beam gun's barrel with one hand, pointing the muzzle upwards. Estend strained with both hands, trying to keep the gun from being taken away, but Kataslo pressed a finger against the back of the trigger, preventing Estend from firing it.

"As a Yapool, you helped insects from a lower civilization attack their own kind! You are the descendant of a 'deserter' after all. I should have wiped you out back then!" Losing Lomia made Kataslo's mind less calm than before.

Eistend's pupils suddenly contracted: "Back then... together? What's that?"

The force with which he tried to snatch the beam gun grew stronger, and Eistend seemed to hear the groaning of his own knuckles. He saw a sinister smile spread across the bloodshot eyes before him: "Hahahaha! That old bastard Fangte has been keeping this from you all along?"

"What is that!" Estend's voice changed, the words he uttered were rapid and sharp: "What is the teacher hiding from me?!"

He wanted to get an answer from Kataslow, even though he had already gleaned some truth from the words, "Why didn't I eliminate you back then?"

[Director Grudas, this is a death report.]

[Did we... encounter the Space Garrison of the Land of Light?]

Yes, Director Grudas, we are deeply saddened. After all, you paid a considerable price to save their lives, but...

Ed, don't be sad, Grandpa's still here.

"Want to know the answer?" Kataslo suddenly tightened his grip on the beam gun, and Estend, whose thoughts were disrupted by his words, lost his grip and the handle slipped from his hand!

Without hesitation, Kataslo quickly turned the gun around and pressed it against Estend's chest.

"Go die with your questions!"

……

"Whoosh!" After gaining energy, Mebius summoned his lightsaber again and, with the help of the Loader's variable beam cover, severed Baksim's horn. Although he couldn't press his advantage due to Dragon's obstruction, he at least neutralized Baksim's most threatening weapon.

On the other side, the meticulously modified EX Red King from the Second Research Institute stopped bombing, closed its launch port, and waited for the next batch of missiles to be loaded before continuing the attack.

Samuel staggered as he tried to stand up, but he couldn't hold on and fell to his knees. EX Red King stomped forward with a series of tremors and struck Samuel's left shoulder with a claw.

EX Belaucon attempted to intercept the cutting beam, but the Wing discovered its intention in time and used its variable beam to detonate the cutting beam into fireworks in mid-air.

Ikaruga Sadaharu felt that this might be the longest time he had ever spent piloting a fighter jet and fighting against the largest number of monsters ever to appear. Although strictly speaking, it was only the time it would take to make a cup of coffee, and usually it would pass by if he just spaced out, but now it felt incredibly long.

They had to constantly and extremely riskily avoid attacks, and they always felt they might be shot down.

"If you don't come soon, we'll be left only to collect corpses! I don't want to be on the front page because of a sacrifice!"

"Anxiety is a major taboo on the battlefield." A familiar and reassuring voice.

Accompanying the sound was the hum of the engine running at high speed. Ikaruga Sadaharu suddenly laughed. He pulled up his fighter jet and dodged the fireball from the Dragonite at a high angle.

But before he could extend his smile, the right wing collided with a missile that EX Belaucon had been tracking. The cabin shook violently, the flight altitude dropped rapidly, and the Flying Wing, billowing black smoke, hurtled towards the dense forest outside the test range.

So the smile turned into a wail.

“Ua ...

"Sadaharu!" Kazama Marina, piloting the Loader, wanted to check on his fighter, but a momentary lapse in concentration put her in danger as well. Fortunately, the beam launched by the Propulsion detonated the missile, preventing the Loader from suffering the same fate as the Wing.

"He'll be fine, don't get distracted."

"Yes, Captain!"

"The monster-inducing sonic wave transmitter has been deployed and can be activated." Misaki Yuki's communication voice, just like her gentle tone, was like a spring breeze melting snow, dispelling the gloom on the front lines.

"It's getting too late..." Ikaruga Sadaharu gripped the parachute lines tightly, looking down to find a suitable spot to land, lest he get caught in a tree.

At the research institute, researcher Keigo Yamamuro, wearing thick-rimmed glasses, pressed the activation button for the monster-inducing sonic wave transmitter.

Sound waves, imperceptible to the human ear, quietly covered a prototype area with a radius of 65 kilometers, totaling more than 13,000 square kilometers, centered on the research institute.

Keigo Yamamuro then pushed the first and second control levers, which amplified certain wavelength ranges of the sound waves.

“We learned from our previous mistakes and reduced the range of the sound waves, confining them to the local metropolitan area, while increasing the intensity of the sound wave impact,” the researcher, intently watching the monitoring screen, solemnly told Misaki Yuki, “We’ve ruled out the part about mobilizing monsters for operations because the technology isn’t mature enough… This time, I’ll show you its true effectiveness!”

At this moment, Mebius dispersed Baksim's fireball with his lightsaber, but was hit by EX Belial's double-shot missiles as it shifted its target, causing the red light on his chest to flash again.

EX Red King was stomping his foot on Samuel's timer, because the thing was flashing and blinding him.

Samuel had no time to worry about EX Red King; he felt like his brain was about to explode. The high-heat control system ordered him to cooperate with Yapool's Super Beast to defeat Mebius and then tie up that traitor.

But he didn't want to.

As a "Yapool's light particle biological weapon," he undoubtedly had to ensure the interests of the Yapool, but as the "Samuel" life form himself, he would rather see Estend alive.

Estend, Hasegawa Hayato, and everyone in the rescue team...

Not a single one is allowed to die!

His chest ached terribly; EX Red King's attack made breathing difficult, and several large wounds on his body were still emitting golden light particles. His brain, meanwhile, felt as if two incompatible core programs were locked in a fierce battle.

So much so that the CPU is about to break down.

My consciousness was somewhat blurred, like when I was half-dead and stuffed into the repair pod after a dangerous mission years ago.

At that moment, Estend inexplicably ran over and kept saying "I'm sorry" through the thick bulkhead.

Why say 'I'm sorry'?

[Danger...zzzz...2,zz...removed...zzzz, 5.41%.]

[Buzz...Request...Buzz...Restriction, enable communication.]

[Permission 03 connects... buzz...]

Chapter Sixty: The Vanished Communications

EX Red King stepped on the red-glowing timer repeatedly, and Samuel turned his head with difficulty, only to see a bunch of shadowy tree shadows.

His eyesight had deteriorated to the point that he could no longer distinguish people in the woods.

"Permission 03" is Eistend's permission code.

The silver palm blocked EX Red King's foot that was about to stomp down, and although it was still trembling, it did indeed block it.

The monster-inducing sonic wave activated by the research institute swept over, and EX Red King, who was about to press down harder, paused and withdrew his foot.

Samuel felt his mind, which had been almost completely blank, clear up a bit. He quickly flipped over to get out of EX Red King's close range, but he couldn't keep his balance and had to kneel on one knee to catch his breath.

But the mechanical voice in his mind shattered his thoughts.
