Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

"The idea of ​​'deserting' is contagious. You're just like your deserter parents. A ragtag research institute is still a ragtag research institute. Believing in someone like you!"

More fresh blood clung to his body, and Estend didn't know what force had sustained him until now. He only felt his thoughts becoming clearer and clearer, like parting the fog to see the bright moon behind him.

“…Mom and Dad don’t know how to hide their inclinations,” he said, staring into Kataslow’s eyes. “You’re afraid they’ll affect the important Second Research Institute because Grandpa was willing to trade his merits for their lives, which has raised concerns… There shouldn’t be any ‘outcasts’ among the Yabo people who oppose expansion.”

Kataslow hadn't expected him to be as mediocre as he'd thought, but the next second he felt an even greater sense of pleasure: "'Everything is insignificant in the face of the continuation of civilization,' and pity for other creatures is a harbinger of destruction. Those deserters clearly forgot that!"

"Grudas raised a deserter son and a traitorous grandson, hahaha! Does he even deserve to be called the most accomplished director of the Second Research Institute?! He doesn't deserve it at all!"

Estend had not forgotten his hatred, so at first he even hated Fos-001, who looked extremely similar to an Ultraman.

After arriving on Earth, he wanted to help Samuel gain his freedom, but found that he seemed to have no choice but to seek help from the Land of Light.

On one side are his deceased loved ones, and on the other are those still alive… More importantly, he discovers that Earth is a wonderful place, with many beautiful plants, delicious snacks, and interesting people. Life on Earth is a group that constantly strives to survive, transforming its environment and evolving itself—they are not "insects" calculated as consumables.

Eistard doesn't want to see a second Pasifica.

He thought to himself, "I'll go find the Land of Light. Once I help Earth escape the tragedy of Pasifica and help Samuel gain his freedom, I'll go to Hell to apologize to my loved ones."

...However, the origin of all hatred is false!

They "cleaned out" their own parents, then deceived their grandfather, and deceived themselves!

Ed, Grandma is going to see your Grandpa Grudas. Don't be sad.

【grandmother……】

Palandini was indeed a bit of a coward, not a true warrior... Grandma wanted to go see him.

【And what about me? Ed only has his grandma left!】

[Ed, I'm sorry, but Grandma believes in you. Study hard and go to research institute someday.]

Alright, Ed, get out of here. Grandma wants to preserve some dignity in the end.

Grandma Sertia passed away, and the last thing she had on her pillow was an ordinary stone.

Estend recognized the stone; she had obtained it when she accompanied an expedition to other nebulae. The energy fluctuations on it were interesting, but unfortunately, they disappeared quickly, and she was unable to study them further.

But it was precisely the study of this stone that led to her acquaintance with Gurudas. It later became her father Palandini's toy, which he entrusted to her...

It was given to Estend, and after his father's death, it eventually passed back to his grandmother.

In Grandma's heart, it was connected to Gurudas, and also to Palandini.

Estend, who originally planned to study life sciences, chose weapons development research instead.

Finally, he joined the Seventh Research Institute and participated in the development of the Apuda Ray Gun, which is currently the most widely deployed weapon, and the first light particle biological weapon, Fos-001.

If the source of everything doesn't exist.

If Yapool hadn't "cleaned up" his "other" parents and lied that it was the Space Garrison of the Land of Light who did it...

Does this mean that none of this will happen?

Researchers of the Apaeans are important, but the enduring nature of Apaean civilization is even more important.

Therefore, it is necessary to properly eliminate threatening "viruses".

"You guys are disgusting."

Estend suddenly released one hand and grabbed Kataslo by the neck as well. Before the other could react, he lunged forward with all his might.

He had no weapons, his legs could barely support him to stand, and the remaining strength in his hands was not even enough to lift the flowerpots he usually tended.

But he has teeth and a brain.

No matter what, he'd do anything—bang his head against something, bite it—anything that could cause harm!

The guy in the research institute, obsessed with data, had no fighting skills. He could only use the clumsiest and ugliest methods to hold onto his enemy and fight to the death.

"You madman!" Kataslo tried to kick him away, but he didn't budge; Kataslo punched him in the head, even gouging out the wound on the back of his head, but he still didn't let go.

The two Yabo men pressed their necks against each other, their heads and bodies covered in blood and dust, having completely forgotten about Arantar's so-called elite education.

Estend will not let go until he tastes death.

Thus, Kataslo truly experienced the Grim Reaper's scythe close to his skin.

Kataslo could feel scattered streams of heat brushing against his face; it must be that guy's blood.

Okay, let's see who gives up first.

Chapter Sixty-Two: A Familiar Radiance

"Is he insane?!"

Ikaruga Sadaharu was almost caught in the high-temperature smoke and dust from the EX Red King's explosion. He didn't have time to help Kazama Marina, who had just reunited with him, pack up her parachute. The two of them took off running outside, letting the maintenance department curse them all.

After finally reaching a more distant place, he turned around and saw Samuel crush something under his foot. It was probably the remains of EX Red King, because he heard a piercing metallic twisting sound.

Immediately afterwards, Samuel turned and attacked Belaucon.

He stared at Mebius for a while, seemingly trying to identify who he was, then raised his hand and unleashed a burst of Pelleriti Light Stream, severing several firing ports on the body of the meddling Belokorn.

If it were a researcher from the 4th Research Institute in person, they would probably recall the scene they least wanted to remember, and want to slap themselves awake for "doing favors" for Fangte, providing them with monster test subjects for use in the factory testing of the 7th Research Institute's new products.

EX Belaucon obeys Kataslow's orders, but Kataslow won't let Estend go, so...

In response to Samuel's attack, EX Belaucon opened his mouth wide and roared, spewing out high-temperature flames.

The ominous purple-glowing creature charged headlong into the pillar of fire it spewed out, running against the flow of the flames until it reached the front. It formed its five fingers into a blade, with light blades extending from the tips, and plunged it directly into the creature's abdomen.

The pillar of fire was interrupted, and it roared as it turned around and lashed out with its tail whip. Samuel used his right hand's light blade to leave a long wound on it, and then grabbed its black tail with his left hand.

The whip struck him, sending sparks flying, but he remained unmoved.

EX Belaucon reacted quickly, immediately opening the missile launch port on its back and unleashing a deluge of missiles at Samuel, while simultaneously struggling with its tail in an attempt to break free of control.

But the expected situation did not occur. The guy behind him only raised his right arm to avoid his timer being directly hit. He didn't even release a defense, but instead condensed a lightsaber in his palm.

The smoke from the missile explosion had not yet begun to dissipate, and the force restraining its tail had weakened considerably. In another breath, EX Belaucon might be able to break free of its tail, but it suddenly let out a miserable howl and stumbled forward.

"Oh!"

Mebius looked down and saw clearly what had been thrown at his feet:

EX Beaulaurn's Tail.

The cut surface is clean and sharp, and shows signs of charring.

As he severed the tail, Samuel kicked EX Belokorn in the wound, then slowly approached, gripping a blasting light blade in one hand and stabbing it directly into the most convenient spot.

The explosive light blade was highly unstable, while EX Belokorn's skin was extremely tough. Therefore, the blade only penetrated a quarter of the way before emitting a blinding glow, blasting a hole in the surrounding flesh. Samuel, who was holding it, was naturally also affected, both his palms hissing with blue smoke.

EX Belaucon didn't care about anything else. Although getting too close would also get him blown up, it was clear that the one harassing him was a madman.

As it turned around, it fired missiles from its hands while locking onto targets from other usable missile launchers on its body.

However, the target rushed over despite the sparks from the hand-launched missile and grabbed it.

Immediately afterwards, all the missiles it launched hit the madman, scattering scorching shrapnel, high-temperature flames, and instantly heated gases that could char a person's skin right up to his body.

It feels really good to have your own missile explode in your face.

But this madman clearly wasn't going to stop there.

Before it could launch its next attack, a dazzling and mesmerizing scene unfolded before our eyes, bathed in deep purple light.

The sight almost made Teppei Kuze jump out of his seat. He quickly searched the database, looking for a string of data that left a deep impression on him.

“There’s no mistake, this energy fluctuation is exactly the same as the one we captured before, originating from near the Mariana Trench!” Tetsuo Kuze was certain that the strange energy fluctuations in the deep ocean that GUYS Coast Guard captured after their operation against Bogaru were exactly the same as those emanating from Samuel now.

"Near the Mariana Trench? Those two-tailed monsters?" Ikaruga Sadaharu asked in surprise, "Hey, weren't they supposed to be hunting for food or something?"

"Indeed, we found a lot of two-tailed monster carcasses at the time, and our initial judgment was that some kind of predator was hunting them," Teppei Kuze explained. "However, in the subsequent investigation, we did not find any traces of the carcasses being eaten. The missing parts were basically charred wounds, which means that those two-tailed monsters... were simply defeated, and the charring was probably due to high temperatures, such as light or something."

"You wouldn't say it's..."

Marina Kazama and Sadaharu Ikaruga exchanged glances. They looked up and saw the deep purple light gradually dissipate, the clouds above the battle zone parted, revealing a clear blue sky.

The monster, which was more than ten stories high, was mostly vaporized, blown to pieces, or burned to ashes. The second explosion following the detonation of the Red King missile pod affected the trees that had already been leveled. The trees closest to the explosion were completely carbonized, while those further away were ignited by the high temperature. The flames were dispersed by the second shock wave, but quickly revived and spread rapidly with the wind.

Now even the last trace of the monster has vanished.

Ah, and there are still a few launch tubes in Samuel's hands—the coral-shaped missile launch ports all over EX Belaucon's body have ironically become the best aid in Samuel's capture of it.

He turned around, casually tossing away the few launch tubes, his body emitting blue smoke from being scorched by the high temperature, and golden light particles that kept dissipating uncontrollably.

[Buzz... Error 726, attack on Yapool artifacts... Buzz... Cleanup...]

Samuel raised his hand, and thanks to Belokorn's attack, the "combat support system" embedded in his body was exposed. The black cables were severed, and the remaining part was half burned. Other parts of his body were in the same state, so the "saw," which had originally been extremely powerful and was vying for control of him, could now only buzz around like an annoying fly.

Because the temperature at the center of the explosion was extremely high, a large amount of gray-black dust was carried into the sky by the airflow, and golden light particles rose slowly amidst this dust.

The bright red flashing timer appeared dull, and he had to kneel down to keep himself from falling after taking only half a step forward.

He looked up and around, as if searching for something.

Mebius took a few steps forward and saw him looking at him warily. After a while, it seemed that he finally recognized him, looked away, and focused on searching for his target again.

But the remaining energy did not give him the chance to continue wasting it. As the light particles dissipated, his figure gradually blurred and disappeared.

Mebius was too exhausted to think about what would happen next. Overwhelmed by exhaustion, he returned to his human form the moment Samuel disappeared.

Hibino Mirai lay on her side, fast asleep in a thicket of bushes yet untouched by the intense heat and flames.
