Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

The suffocatingly large creatures disappeared one after another, and on the surface, the testing ground finally entered a post-war quiet.

But GUYS's mission is not over yet.

In this area, there is also Kataslo's spaceship, which may contain some Yapools. No one can guarantee that they do not have the ability to summon monsters—Baksim and Dolagri only retreated because of the influence of the monster-induced sound waves, and no one knows if they will come back.

The Propulsion hovered over the test site and quickly located Cataslow's spacecraft.

On the ground, Marina Kazama and Sadaharu Ikaruga are rapidly approaching the spaceship location sent by Shingo Sakamizu.

"Ugh... Ptooey, ptooey!"

Estend, panting heavily, pushed Kataslow's body aside. The stench of blood filled his nostrils, and he almost vomited up his dinner from the previous day.

Before he could catch his breath, he crawled like a snail to Hasegawa Hayato's side, trembling as he murmured, "Don't die, don't die, don't die..." as he struggled to open the medicine box.

Although it is unknown whether the medicine given to the Yapools would be effective for Earthlings, the medicine itself is a concentrated form of life energy, so it might have an effect.

He placed the capsule on Hasegawa Hayato's neck, and tiny needles immediately extended from the back of the capsule, injecting a concentrated life energy drug—it was indeed effective. Hasegawa Hayato's breathing, which had been so weak that it seemed he was about to stop breathing at any moment, was now slightly stronger.

He gave the remaining two to the more seriously injured Rikuto Yamashita and Mao Sugiyama. After doing this, Estend simply let himself lie down in the dirty...

On the splattered ground, Hasegawa Hayato's blood and the dust and grime blown in from afar were all stuck to his clothes and hair as he rolled over. But he couldn't move even half a finger.

Oh, and Samuel too.

He directed his creaking neck to turn his head slightly, just in time to see the sky filled with purple light, the flames of the missile compartments inside EX Belaucon exploding simultaneously, and the billowing dust that followed.

He finally remembered that there should be another Yapool spaceship nearby, so he quickly got up, dragged his leaden body back to retrieve the ray gun that had been flung far to the side, and looked at his bright red hands with disgust before activating his Earthling disguise.

When the smoke cleared, he heard a familiar language.

The language of the Apo people.

They arrived quite quickly. As soon as Dylank lost his signal, they foresaw the crisis facing Kataslow and hurriedly organized a search party. The subsequent disappearance of Lomia further accelerated their search efforts.

When it was confirmed that the Cataslow signal had also been lost... the Yapools who were still repairing the spaceship with the intelligent robots in the rear completely fell into a state of paranoia.

Earth is truly an ominous place. Grudas, the former director of the Second Research Institute, became stardust beneath Strium. Now they have lost their director as well, Kataslow, the hope of the Yapool's scientific frontier.

I should have been more firm when I persuaded the director! I shouldn't have let him have his way!

I should have known better than to blindly trust Lomia and Dylank's fighting abilities! We should have sent some people to help capture that traitor!

But they were not too late. Passing through a thicket of bushes and following the trampled marks, they finally discovered a small piece of tree trunk that appeared to have been charred by a light weapon.

Just a little further on, we saw people lying haphazardly on the ground.

Their revered director and his assistant are both dead.

That traitor and the Earth bug are still alive.

Your crimes are unforgivable!

They shouted at the traitor.

Then all I received was a smirking emoji and the dark muzzle of a gun.

“Come on, let’s die together,” the traitor said arrogantly. His next words were even more arrogant: “I’ve planted a bomb on Kataslo’s body. See it? I’ll press it at the same time as you shoot. Not only will one of you be unlucky enough to lose his life, but you won’t even be able to get your chief’s body back intact.”

The bomb that Estend was holding was completely black, but it looked quite real—in reality, it was a rescue team locator that he had just taken from Hasegawa Hayato.

Each member of the rescue team has a locator, which serves as a second layer of insurance. They only carry it when on a mission. Normally, very few people carry it with them in the dorms; only someone like Hasegawa Hayato, who is always on high alert, would never be without it.

The Yabo people hesitated.

That moment of hesitation cost them their chance. Fighter jets tore through the air, gunfire erupted, and three beams of light struck three of them. Then came the blow from above—the beam fired by the Propulsion plowed out two charred marks.

They dispersed and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

Estend stared blankly at the fighter jets streaking across the sky, followed by a series of hurried footsteps, his vision filled with a tense face.

"Can it still move?" the owner of the face asked.

Estend blinked, finally realizing with a daze that this was Kazama Marina, a member of GUYS whom he had met several times.

Ikaruga Sadaharu stood guard beside them, holding his meteor spear, as the Apool people scattered and hid in the jungle.

After confirming that the men lying on the ground were not in any danger, Kazama Marina stood up and turned her gaze to the seemingly still jungle, straining her ears to catch even the slightest sound.

"How many are there?" Kazama Marina hadn't been able to fully see the number of Yapools.

“There are six here. I hit three of them. They shouldn’t have gone far,” Ikaruga Sadaharu said to the communicator, tilting his head slightly. “Yes, leave this to us. Captain, you go deal with their ships.”

……

Estend realized that ever since Lomia knocked him unconscious with a glowing orb from his dormitory and dragged him onto the spaceship without a word, he had been in a state of near-death. After lying there for a while and finally regaining some strength, he could only drag himself and his teammates to a well-grown tree trunk to cover most of their bodies.

He didn't like watching others fight while he was powerless to help, so after confirming that he and his teammates wouldn't become easy targets and drag others down, he finally started memorizing the parameters with a weak voice.

The Yapool's ray guns were most widely deployed in the model overseen by Professor Fang Te, which he helped develop and was essentially the lifeblood of the Seventh Research Institute. He meticulously tested all the parameters back then, and could recite them flawlessly even in his dreams.

The tense atmosphere was broken by a series of hoarse sounds.

"The most widely deployed model of the Apuda Ray Gun is the Apuda II, with an effective range of 2000 meters, particle dispersion level 3, and energy stability decreasing after 1600 meters. In order to maintain long-range accuracy and lethality, the energy tank capacity has been increased at the cost of reduced protection."

Marina Kazama closed her eyes, catching the sounds of the Yapool people stirring in the jungle.

"Among the Yapool, only professional warriors are trained in the techniques of using energy in combat; those with talent can also learn, like Kataslow—but..."

He is an extremely rare exception.

The finger resting on the trigger of the Tulaiga gun slowly tightened.

"Kataslow's accompanying 'bodyguards' are dead; most of the remaining ones are researchers on board who rely on weapons."

The wind rustles through the forest, creating a soft, whispering sound.

"To meet the requirements of easy portability, we integrated the energy bar of the Aipuda II into the design of the grip and hid the charging port. The charging port is located 2 centimeters from the bottom of the grip, on the inside of the trigger. The casing of the charging port is constantly open and closed and is much thinner than other parts."

Several gunshots rang out.

The buzzing of the Epsilon II, the sound of the Capture Matrix unfolding, the sound of the Meteor Gun firing.

Estend stared curiously at the pale blue barrier in front of him; this was the first time he had seen the meteor technology developed by Earthlings up close. The capture angular barrier launched by Kazama Marina protected him.

The next second, or more precisely, a fraction of a second after the Capture Matrix was deployed, Yapool's beam struck the Capture Matrix. The instant Yapool's position was exposed, Ikaruga Sadaharu used his Meteor Gun to fire a three-shot burst at Yapool, who had moved to a position where he could hit Estend.

It wasn't for nothing that Estend rambled on for so long; he did manage to attract the attention of the Yapo people, making them prioritize eliminating this traitor who knew them inside and out.

Then came the familiar, crackling sound of energy surging, followed by two spectacular explosions.

Every time the material strength test failed, the Aipuda Ray Gun would "retaliate" against the researchers in this way, and incidentally blow up the experimental chamber beyond recognition.

However, they did pay a price. Focusing on the enemies targeting Estend meant they couldn't react in time to sniper fire from other directions.

Ikaruga Sadaharu only had time to shift his body slightly before the light grazed his left shoulder. Controlling his body, which was involuntarily convulsing from the pain, he rolled away to find another spot to hide. His clothes, already soaked with sweat, were now drenched in cold sweat once more.

Marina Kazama heard the trigger being pulled and reacted in time. The light scorched her clothes on the back, causing a series of blisters to form. She quickly switched to arrowheads and returned fire. The sharp arrow pierced through the tree trunk and struck a Yapool man who had been hit by a meteor gun and was moving slowly.

At the same time, a loud explosion could be heard in the distance.

Through the pale blue barrier, Eistend saw the Propulsion rapidly ascending, with the Cataslow spacecraft barely taking off behind it.

The explosion must have come from it. The hole that Samuel broke through had not yet been repaired. The Yapools must have only maintained the power system. The outer shell on the left side of the spaceship was missing, but the inner layer was still intact, with only occasional sparks flying out.

The technological gap was simply too great. Even if the propulsion system was damaged, forcing the spaceship to land for repairs, the Yapool's excellent protective capabilities rendered the Propulsion's blast beam ineffective.

The Propulsion was overtaken by the Yapool ships that had relaunched.

GUYS Research Institute.

“It’s done, Acting Director Misaki,” Keigo Yamamuro said, wiping his sweat. “But… this is a model that still needs testing…”

Chapter Sixty-Four: You Won't Die

"Captain! The scan results are in!" On the display screen in front of Tetsuya Kuze, the 3D model of the Yapool spaceship was slowly rotating.

Shingo Sakami responded, signaling Teppei Kuze to continue. He kept his eyes glued to the radar screen, not daring to miss a single movement of the Yapool spaceship that was chasing behind.

"The weakness is neither at the bottom nor on the seemingly damaged left side. The exposed cavity at the bottom of the spaceship is made of a special material, and the left side should be the weapons bay. There is also a layer of reinforcing material inside the outer shell!"

Teppei Kuze spun the model, focusing on the top of the spaceship: "The real weakness is on top! Just like their modified Red King, every time they open or close the weapon launchers, it's our chance to counterattack!"

"top……"

Shingo Sakami yanked the control stick, and two missiles, trailing plumes of smoke, narrowly missed the Propulsion, only to be obliterated by the Strike Rays. The fighter jet made a sharp turn, and Sakami clearly saw the missile launch ports on the top of the spacecraft closing.

Kataslow is a missile fanatic, and his passion is especially poured into the monsters he modifies and his personal "vehicle".

Shingo Sakami realizes that he seems to be facing a small monster.

They also share relatively slow movements and peacock-like missile bombardments.

He wanted to meet the enemy missile launch and destroy its launch port the instant it was launched.

My career as a director was truly exciting and unforgettable.

With the Yapool's spaceship damaged and unable to fly fast, he could rely on the Propulsion's maneuverability to create distance and buy time to deal with missile attacks.

Fortunately, he did not engage the alien spaceship for too long; a ground-based artillery barrage took down the clumsy "mobile missile launcher."

At the GUYS Research Institute, Keigo Yamamuro lowered his hands, which were slightly sweaty, and calmly took off his glasses to wipe them.

"silver

"The improved Shark Cannon has been successfully tested for the first time." Misaki Yuki was still smiling, but her voice was noticeably less calm than her facial expression.
