Guyver Armor: KAP-2

They were surrounded! Kamino Tsubasa's heart sank, and he stopped and slowly looked around.

In front of them are three "Brenells"—heavily modified versions of Kureg! Their bodies are more than twice as thick as ordinary Kuregs, and their bluish-gray carapaces are covered with sharp barbs. Every step they take makes the ground tremble slightly.

Emerging from the left were the next-generation mass-produced ace "Gaguil" from the Japanese branch, with a tall and agile body that combined strength and speed, and sharp claws. They, along with two Vimoas, blocked the way down the mountain.

From the shadows on the right, the two newly crafted Insem IIs slowly emerged. Standing at 3.5 meters tall, they resembled small mountains, their muscular bodies covered in fluffy white fur, and their insect-like mouthparts constantly dripping thick, corrosive saliva.

Most terrifying of all are the four thick appendages extending from its back, the sharp spikes at their ends gleaming with a chilling light.

"Lulu lulu, just give up resisting, Kep!" The foremost Gaggiel let out a mocking howl. "Lord Bakas's mental wave has locked onto this area; you can't escape!"

Kamino Tsubasa did not respond, but slowly adjusted his breathing, recovering the strength he had previously expended. His gaze quickly swept across the encirclement, trying to find an opening.

"Hmph, even a cornered beast will fight back?" Seeing that the other side still wanted to resist, the three beast-transformed soldiers simultaneously let out a deafening roar and charged towards Kamino Tsubasa!

"Porphyrin—"

A burst of intense high-frequency sound waves suddenly erupted from the mouth of the KEP-2, the sharp buzzing instantly tearing through the air and causing the atmosphere to vibrate violently.

The fastest-moving beastmen on the ground clutched their ears in pain, frozen in place, convulsing violently, and their encirclement was immediately disrupted.

Seeing this, Kamino Tsubasa immediately seized the opportunity and cut into the enemy group like lightning.

The high-frequency sword, with a piercing sound like tearing metal, forcefully sliced ​​through the thick carapaces of the two Breners directly in front of it.

The two heavily armored beastmen had huge gashes cut open from their chests to their abdomens, and they fell into pools of blood with screams.

Just as he was about to deliver a horizontal slash and sever Gagir's head, four scorching laser beams suddenly shot out!

It was the two Vimoas hiding in the back who launched the sneak attack!

Tsubasa Kamino had no choice but to give up this excellent opportunity to kill, dodging to the side. The laser beam grazed past his armor, blasting several charred craters into the ground.

He turned around abruptly, his anger blazing, and the sensors instantly locked onto his target.

With a series of flashes of light from his forehead, Vimoa's brow was pierced directly, and the beastman fell straight down, billowing black smoke.

On the other side, two Insem Type IIs also charged forward, brandishing their claws and appendages. Kanno gritted his teeth and used Kep's superior sensory abilities to dodge the rain-like attacks from the appendages.

"Now!"

Taking advantage of the Insem's forward lean after its attack, the azure sword flashed like lightning, instantly severing its two appendages and right arm.

With a swift kick, Cape No. 2 created distance, then turned and slashed back, cutting Gagir, who was attacking from behind, in half at the waist, emitting a bloodcurdling scream.

But then, his left shoulder and waist were also slashed by the claws of another appendage that attacked from behind Insem, leaving two bloody marks.

The armor at the wound site was instantly broken down by Insem's special enzymes, revealing the bleeding skin underneath.

"Ugh—"

Despite the pain, Tsubasa Kamino launched another high-frequency sonic attack.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the beastmen lost control, he suddenly jumped out of the battle circle and quickly retracted his high-frequency sword—he was preparing to launch his chest particle cannon to break through this hateful encirclement in one fell swoop!

"Got it!" A deep laugh suddenly came from the ground behind him. Along with the voice, countless mud and thick branches shot out like lightning, tightly binding Kamino Tsubasa's hands!

"Hehehehe—now you can't unleash that terrifying killing move, can you!"

From underground came Tam's triumphant voice: "Hurry! I can't hold out much longer! Let's all attack and take him down!"

Upon seeing this, the beastmen on the opposite side roared and charged forward at full speed.

KAP2's hands were firmly bound, and the beastmen's claws were almost within reach, about to tear the surface of the bio-armor!

At this critical moment, two blinding white lights suddenly appeared inside his chest armor!

The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually penetrating the thick layer of chest armor and illuminating his chest completely!

"Aaaaaah—!"

With a roar from Tsubasa Kamino, a surge of powerful fighting spirit erupted.

The next second, his chest armor suddenly popped open on its own, revealing a particle cannon launcher filled with energy and flashing a dangerous white light!

"It...it can actually open automatically..." The Insem II, which was at the forefront, stopped, its four scarlet compound eyes filled with disbelief.

Before it could even process what was happening, two dazzling beams of light suddenly shot out from Kep's chest!

"Chest Particle Cannon!!"

Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was scorched and distorted. Everything in front of it—the beastmen, the trees, the rocks—was instantly swallowed up and vaporized by the high-temperature particle beam, turning into a pile of charred ashes!

"Swoosh—! Swoosh—!"

Two streams of scalding hot water shot out from the heat dissipation holes on both sides of the head of the KEP-2, carrying white steam that rose up and instantly condensed into white mist in the air.

The continuous high-intensity combat also caused a large amount of heat to accumulate inside the bio-armor.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Kamino Tsubasa forcefully broke free from his restraints, staring coldly at the ground beneath his feet: "Next, it's your turn!"

Tim let out a strange cry, no longer daring to linger in place. He hastily gathered his body parts, which were mixed with mud, and frantically burrowed deeper into the ground.

In that instant, the high-frequency sword on the right arm of the KEP-2 hummed as it was drawn from its sheath, and Tsubasa Kamino's elbow sank sharply, the blade piercing the ground like lightning and disappearing into the hilt!

"Buzz—!"

The high-frequency vibrating blade instantly tore through the soil, and the ground rippled like water, creating visible waves.

Immediately afterwards, a mournful roar came from the depths below, rapidly retreating along the ground into the distance.

"You got lucky you ran fast..."

Panting heavily, Tsubasa Kamino slowly sheathed his high-frequency sword. The continuous high-intensity battle had exhausted most of his strength.

He glanced down at the scratches on his armor; the wounds on his left shoulder and side, corroded by the enzymes, were slow to heal and still caused him intense pain.

However, at least this sword strike severely injured Tam.

Otherwise, in these complex mountain forests, getting rid of an opponent who can burrow underground would be an incredibly difficult task.

Tsubasa Kamino focused his attention, and the head sensor rotated as nimbly as if it were alive.

In the distance, from the dense forest deep in the hills, came the sound of dense branches rustling.

"It seems we need to divert their attention a bit more. Let them recover a bit before making any more noise."

After muttering to himself, he didn't hesitate at all. His dark yellow armored figure sped off in the direction of the cave and the hidden shrine, quickly disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.
