Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 331 Defeating Mike: The Fear Hybrid

"There's no other way." Narumi Shokichi looked at the saber-toothed tiger hybrid that was eyeing him menacingly, took off his hat, took out the skull memory, and pressed the button on the memory.

"Skull!"

Then, Narumi Shokichi inserted it into the Lost Driver on his waist and pushed the Lost Driver away.

"Skull!"

On the surface of the Lost Drive, a purple skull pattern made of the letter S emerges.

"Hen Shin!" Black tear-like lines appeared on Narumi Shokichi's face.

Purple lightning spread out from the Lost Driver, forming a purple lightning ring around Narumi Shokichi.

The next moment, countless fragments of armor covered Narumi Shokichi's body with a whistling sound.

His black compound eyes, after flashing a purple light, returned to black once more.

The white scarf around his neck fluttered gently in the breeze.

Skull put the hat back on his head, then slowly raised his hand, pointing it at the saber-toothed tiger hybrid, and said, "Now, count your sins."

"Ha!" The saber-toothed tiger hybrid instantly transformed into a blurry afterimage, charging towards Kamen Rider Skull.

In the blink of an eye, the saber-toothed tiger hybrid was in front of Kamen Rider Skull, slashing at him with its furry right claw.

The saber-toothed tiger hybrid's right claw slammed into Skull's breastplate, sending sparks flying.

Because of the characteristics of the skull's memory, Skull felt no pain at all.

Even when struck by the saber-toothed tiger hybrid, it only staggered back half a step.

"Got you." While enduring the Saber-toothed Tiger Dopant's attacks, Skull also grabbed the Saber-toothed Tiger Dopant's right arm.

To deal with speed-type dopants, you need to limit their speed.

Skull pressed the muzzle of the materialized skull-shaped Magnum against the abdomen of the saber-toothed tiger hybrid and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!"

One energy bullet after another was fired from the skull magnum, hitting the saber-toothed tiger hybrid's abdomen at close range and exploding into a series of sparks.

"Meow!" The saber-toothed tiger hybrid cried out in pain, its left arm immediately reaching out to grab Skull.

Skull raised his right arm and blocked the saber-toothed tiger hybrid's left arm that was reaching out to grab him.

"Taku!"

Skull unleashed a powerful left punch, along with the purple energy vortex emanating from his fist, striking the saber-toothed tiger hybrid's chest.

"Bang!"

Intense sparks erupted from the saber-toothed tiger hybrid's chest as it was sent flying by Skull's punch, rolling several times on the ground.

"Meow!" The saber-toothed tiger hybrid got up from the ground, shook its head, and then its body turned into a blurry afterimage as it pounced on Skull.

However, the narrow alleyway, with its limited space, severely restricted the speed and agility of the saber-toothed tiger hybrid.

Skull, with his extensive combat experience, understood the Sabertooth Doppelganger's next move simply by observing its actions.

Almost the instant the saber-toothed tiger hybrid moved, Skull raised the skull magnum in his hand and fired repeatedly at the saber-toothed tiger hybrid that was lunging at him.

Purple energy beams shot out continuously from the skull magnum, hurtling towards the saber-toothed tiger hybrid.

Sensing the threat posed by the purple energy blasts, the saber-toothed tiger hybrid nimbly maneuvered through the narrow alley, dodging each blast from the skull magnum and closing in on Skull, before unleashing a fierce claw strike.

A burst of intense sparks erupted from Skull's breastplate, and his body was knocked off balance.

"So fast that it can even dodge bullets?" Skull muttered, watching the saber-toothed tiger hybrid that had quickly created distance after landing a hit.

The energy projectiles fired by the skull magnum gun travel at speeds far exceeding those of ordinary firearms.

Even so, this hybrid was able to dodge all the bullets from the skull magnum in such a narrow alley.

This speed surpasses any dopant he has dealt with before.

"Roar!" The saber-toothed tiger hybrid let out a low growl and once again transformed into a blur as it pounced on Kamen Rider Skull.

Seeing the saber-toothed tiger hybrid attacking him again, Skull didn't hesitate and immediately took a step back, pressing his back against the wall of the residential building.

In this way, his field of vision was almost completely free of blind spots.

No matter which direction the saber-toothed tiger hybrid attacks from, he can handle it.

Then, he raised the skull magnum in his hand, and purple energy bullets shot out continuously from the muzzle, sweeping towards the saber-toothed tiger hybrid charging towards him.

"Meow!"

Faced with the purple light bullets constantly being fired at it, the saber-toothed tiger hybrid's blurry figure kept weaving and shifting within the narrow alley.

Skull watched as the saber-toothed tiger hybrid dodged all the bullets and continued to approach him, but he felt no panic whatsoever.

He wasn't firing randomly; he was forcing the saber-toothed tiger hybrid to step into the trap he had set.

Although the saber-toothed tiger hybrid was fast, the space in this alley was ultimately limited.

And that is his only advantage.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two purple light bullets landed on the ground, accompanied by two soft 'bang' sounds, and two small sparks exploded on the ground. In order to avoid the two light bullets, the saber-toothed tiger hybrid jumped onto the railing of the external staircase of the residential building.

The next moment, the saber-toothed tiger hybrid pounced down the stairs towards Skull below.

Skull had already removed the skull memory from the Lost Driver and loaded it into the skull magnum.

"Skull Maximum Drive!"

Skull raised the Skull Magnum, aimed it at the saber-toothed tiger hybrid that was pouncing on him from above, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!"

One powerful destructive beam after another shot out from the skull magnum, colliding with the saber-toothed tiger hybrid that was pouncing down from above.

"Bang bang bang!"

All of these destructive energy blasts struck the saber-toothed tiger hybrid, causing sparks to erupt all over its body.

It was knocked down from mid-air by Skull and crashed onto the concrete ground.

"Meow!" The saber-toothed tiger hybrid endured the pain, got up from the ground, and quickly distanced itself from Skull.

This time, the saber-toothed tiger hybrid learned its lesson and stopped pouncing on Skull, instead relying on its speed to attack him.

"Bang!"

The saber-toothed tiger hybrid blurred past Skull, its claws slamming into Skull's wrist and knocking the skull-shaped Magnum gun from his hand.

After knocking the skull magnum from Skull's hand, the saber-toothed tiger hybrid immediately turned around and charged at Skull again.

In the blink of an eye, the saber-toothed tiger hybrid was already in front of Skull, raising its claws to grab him.

"Taku!" Skull suddenly ducked down and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

The saber-toothed tiger hybrid's claws swept across Skull's head and slammed into the wall of the apartment building, leaving three deep claw marks.

Skull's right fist, imbued with a purple energy vortex, slammed into the abdomen of the saber-toothed tiger hybrid.

"Bang!"

A burst of sparks shot out from the saber-toothed tiger hybrid's chest, and the hybrid's body was instantly sent flying backward, crashing into the opposite wall before bouncing to the ground.

Skull pressed his advantage, striding up to the saber-toothed tiger hybrid and delivering a powerful sweeping kick.

Purple energy swirled around Skull's feet, leaving a crescent-shaped trail as he swept his foot forward.

The saber-toothed tiger hybrid had barely gotten up from the ground when Skul kicked it away again.

"Meow!" The saber-toothed tiger hybrid let out a cry of pain, looking at Kamen Rider Skull with some fear in its eyes.

After being repeatedly attacked, this cat, whose intelligence was no less than that of a human, began to consider giving in.

Skull twisted his wrist and walked unhurriedly toward the saber-toothed tiger hybrid lying on the ground.

The saber-toothed tiger hybrid got up from the ground and turned to run away without any hesitation.

Its form vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

Skull watched as the saber-toothed tiger hybrid fled without looking back. Instead of giving chase, he turned and picked up the skull magnum that had fallen to the ground, extracting the skull memory from it.

After removing the skull memory, he also took off the Lost Driver from his waist.

His black knight armor also turned into countless armor fragments and disappeared with the sound of the wind.

After carefully storing the Lost Driver and the Skull Memory, Narumi Shoki quickly ran out of the alley and, after finding a direction, hurried over there.

I wonder how Shotaro and that little guy are doing.

……

the other side.

Shen Yun and Sonozaki Ryubei stood on the rooftop, watching the Saber-toothed Tiger hybrid fighting Kamen Rider Skull in the alley not far away.

"Mick is just an animal after all; it's going to lose," Shen Yun remarked casually, watching the battle unfold in the distance.

"Ayane's judgment is indeed excellent." Sonozaki Ryubei looked down at the battle that had come to an end and nodded slightly, saying, "Even I have to admit that this Kamen Rider Skull did pose a certain threat to me."

"Oh? It's quite rare to hear such words from the fearsome emperor of Fuuto." Shen Yun turned to look at Sonozaki Ryubei standing beside him and teased her with a smile.

"Haha." Sonozaki Ryubei laughed and said, "I was just stating the facts. After all, there is a restraining relationship between the Gaia Memory and the Gaia Memory."

"Skull is a memory that Ayane specifically chose to defeat me and use to counter Terror."

"Even so, I'm confident I can defeat this Kamen Rider Skull," said Ryubei Sonozaki with complete confidence.

"Then I'll wait and see." Shen Yun smiled slightly.

As the two were chatting and laughing, the saber-toothed tiger hybrid returned to Sonozaki Ryubei's side.

The saber-toothed tiger hybrid slowly lowered its body, and a stream of emerald green data lit up on its body.

Its enormous body also shrank rapidly under the embrace of the emerald green data stream.

Once the data stream disappeared, a blue cat with the Gaia Driver strapped to its body and a golden Advanced Memory lying beside it appeared before the two of them.

"Meow~" Mick came to Sonozaki Ryubei's feet and gently rubbed against her.

Although Mick failed, Sonozaki Ryubei did not blame him. Instead, she bent down, picked him up, and gently teased him.

"Ryubei-san, what are you planning to do next?" Shen Yun asked.

"Hehe, of course we'll pick a better burial place for him." Upon hearing this, Sonozaki Ryubei chuckled and took out the Gaia Driver, placing it on her waist.

Two belts extended from the sides of the Gaia Driver and fastened behind him.

Immediately afterwards, Sonozaki Ryubei took out the golden Fear Memory from her pocket and gently pressed the button on it.

"Terror!"

As Sonozaki Ryubei released her grip, the golden-glowing Fear Memory voluntarily entered the Gaia Driver.

A golden, semi-circular barrier also appeared on the Gaia Driver, covering the ports on the Gaia Driver.

The dark purple data stream spread rapidly throughout Sonozaki Ryubei's body, centered on the Gaia Driver.

At this moment, two extremely oppressive dark purple lights shone from Sonozaki Ryubei's eyes, and several blue totems appeared around his body.

A thick black mist appeared out of nowhere on the rooftop, and Sonozaki Ryubei's upper body turned pitch black, while a pair of wide, reddish-brown trousers appeared on her lower body.

Several blue totems gradually merged into one, then materialized into a blue totem mask, which slowly covered Sonozaki Ryubei's face.

Then, a black cloak flew over and landed behind the blue totem mask, fluttering in the wind.

After Sonozaki Ryubei transformed into a being of fear, black mud suddenly appeared beneath his feet and continued to spread outwards.

The fear-inducing entity slowly sank into the swamp and disappeared along with it.

After the fear-mixed entity disappeared, Shen Yun also turned to look in the direction where Narumi Shokichi had left.

……

the other side.

After leaving the alley, Narumi Shokichi hadn't gone far when a black swamp flashing with azure arcs of electricity suddenly appeared in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Narumi Shokichi immediately stopped and looked warily at the black swamp that was spreading outwards.

"Another dopant?" Narumi Shokichi frowned.

As the black swamp expanded to a certain extent, the Fear Hybrid emerged from the swamp and slowly floated into the air. Looking down at Narumi Shoki, it laughed loudly, "Hahaha. I've heard so much about you, Narumi Shoki. Oh, no, I should say Kamen Rider Skull."

"You're the leader of the organization?!" Narumi Shokichi looked at the fear-ridden figure in front of him with a solemn expression.

"Kamen Rider Skul, if you want your apprentice to live, come here and fight me to the death."

After providing an address, the Fear Hybrid laughed loudly and slowly sank into the swamp on the ground.

Narumi Shokichi watched as the fear-mixed entity disappeared into the swamp, and his expression turned very ugly.

"Damn it!" Narumi Shokichi cursed under his breath, and without any hesitation, he turned around and rushed towards the address given by the Fear Dopant.

Please make sure nothing happens, Shotaro!
