Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"You sound too uncertain."

The two talked as Haruna continued descending the emergency ladder, while Yumeko's expression gradually turned to one of tears. Once on the ground, Haruna whispered to Yumeko:

"I'm leaving."

While fighting back tears, Yumeko called out to Haruna:

"wait."

Her trembling hands gripped the emergency rope ladder.

"I will go with you."

Meanwhile, Daigo and Ida Iryu had arrived at the entrance of the forest together. Ida Iryu picked up a thick branch from the ground, and Daigo also bent down to pick up a branch, but was stopped by Ida Iryu.

“If someone who doesn’t know swordsmanship swings around randomly, it will hurt the villagers who are being manipulated.”

"Don't worry, I've studied kendo and know a little about it."

"Then it's alright. But you should be careful, the villagers aren't wearing protective gear today."

As Ida Iryu broke off the thin branches from the thick tree trunk, he instructed Daigo:

"I will lead the charge, and you will follow closely behind, waiting for an opportunity to rescue Lina."

After pondering for a moment, Daigo looked at Ida Iryu and said:

"Okay, let's go in!"

The two entered the White Fox Forest, and then...

Hmph, just as I expected, here it comes.

The demon had already sensed the presence of Daigo and Ida Iryu, and then commented:

Two idiots.

The demon extended its steel-like claws, raised its hands, and rubbed the claws together, the metallic scraping sound echoing around. The demon called out to something unknown:

"fox."

No one replied.

The forest seemed to sense an impending battle, and fell silent.

"If you dare to interfere, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The demon began to rub its claws together again.

"The only reason I spared your life is because we are both monsters, and I have shown you mercy. If you dare to make a move today, I will take your life without hesitation."

After he finished speaking, a wisp of gas rose slowly from the demon's body, enveloping it like spiritual energy.

"The whole forest is mine. It's all mine."

The villagers leaped out from between the trees and rushed toward Daigo and Iida Iryu. Iida Iryu nimbly and decisively swung the branch in his hand. At first glance, it seemed that he had only scratched the villagers with the branch, but the villagers who were touched fell down one after another.

"Amazing."

"The human body is covered with acupoints. As long as the acupoints are struck and stimulated, even if the person being struck has the will to fight, they will be unable to move their body."

As Iida Iryu explained, he led Daigo Madoka further into the forest under the cover of night...

Meanwhile, Haruna and Yumeko also embarked on the path to the forest, much later than Daigo and Ida Iryu. Along the way, Yumeko was constantly on edge, but when she turned to look at Haruna, she found her full of confidence, which Yumeko could not understand at all.

It turns out that Haruna really did use that wooden hairpin in her hand as a talisman.

The two finally arrived at the entrance to the forest. Yumeko stopped and pulled Haruna from behind.

"What's wrong?

"Let's go back!"

"You've come all this way, and now you're going to back out again?"

Haruna's tone was slightly angry, and Yumeko suddenly felt that the two of them seemed to have switched positions.

"If we walk faster, we might be able to catch up with Daigo and that uncle."

Before she could finish speaking, Haruna had already strode into the forest. Yumeko had no choice but to hurry after her. Soon after entering the forest, they heard chilling groans coming from all around them.

Suddenly, a man's hand reached out from between the trees.

"Whoa!!"

The two women screamed and hurriedly dodged, but the owner of the hand could only lie on the ground, unable to get up. Only then did the two women come to their senses and look around. They realized they were surrounded by people like this. These were all villagers who had been knocked to the ground by Jing Tianjinglong.

Why are all these people lying on the ground, not moving?

The villagers lay on the ground, muttering "Stop!" and "Don't run!" from time to time, but not one of them got up to chase after Yumeko and Haruna.

"what happened?"

Yumeko put her hands on Haruna's shoulders and said:

"Could it really be this hairpin that's helping us?"

Haruna smiled and replied to Yumeko:

"See, I wasn't wrong."

Thinking of this, Yumeko's heart was suddenly filled with countless courage.

"That scared me to death! Turns out, with this hairpin, we don't have to be afraid of anything!"

"Didn't I already say that?"

The two girls kept a close eye on the villagers lying on the ground as they walked through the gaps in the trees into the depths of the forest. At this moment, their steps seemed even lighter because of their confidence.

However, compared to the relaxed state of the two sisters, Ida Iryu and Daigo were under immense pressure. In fact, Ida Iryu's muffled cries could be heard throughout the forest.

"Woo!"

Then, the branch in Ida Iryu's hand fell to the ground.

"what happened to you?"

Daigo came to his side. Ida Iryu held his right hand with his left. Ida Iryu's, no, it should be said that the blood of Uemura, who was possessed by Ida Iryu, flowed from his right hand.

Ida Iryu has no physical body, so he cannot feel pain. However, it is precisely because of this that he is even more resentful about Uemura's physical injury.

"We've found her."

Iida Iryu did not respond to Daigo's concern. Instead, he stretched out his left hand and pointed to the gap in the branches in front of him. Rena's figure slowly emerged from the gap in the branches.

"This era is so much more convenient now!"

Lina, controlled by the demon, carefully examined the GUTS super gun in her hand and said...

"This kind of arquebus that can be fired with one hand is really suitable for killing people in this era, isn't it, Ida Ryu?"

As she spoke, Lina raised the GUTS super gun in her hand.

"Stop, Lina!"

At the same time, Lina swayed slightly. However, she quickly regained her gun-holding posture and glared angrily.

"It seems that this body will reject me as soon as it hears your voice."

"What do you mean?"

"This woman must have unusual feelings for you."

At this moment, Daigo noticed that Rena in front of him was now completely controlled by the demon. Her movements, tone of voice, and even her expressions had all become the demon itself.

However, her eyes were different. Lina's eyes were still the same as when she gazed at Daigo with deep affection. Moreover, there was some moisture in Lina's eyes. The moisture in her eyes was completely opposite to the controlling will of the demon.

"You're a troublesome person."

Lina pointed her gun at Daigo.

"If you die by this woman's gun, you should have no regrets, right?"

Lina's hand was about to pull the trigger.

"You have fallen, you evil spirit."

Jing Tianjinglong spoke up.

"how you said that?"

"You've actually resorted to firearms; that's why I say you've fallen. I once thought you were a monster with some skill, but it's clear that was a mistake."

"hehe."

Lina put down the GUTS super gun, a chilling smile on her face.

"It seems you wish to test your swordsmanship against me."

Ida Ryu whispered to Daigo:

"I'll borrow your body for a bit!"

"What!"

"Lend me your body. This body's wrist is injured and it cannot fight."

"But...."
