Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 118 Ineffective Time Stop

"Hmph, nothing special!"

The second Fang Bat hovered around Natsukawa, flapping its wings, and looked down at the boy who was crashing to the ground like a cannonball.

Despite using a shield to block in time, the impact of the heavy punch was not eliminated, and the brick and stone ground of the square was smashed into cracks and fragments.

A stream of green blood flowed down the corner of the boy's mouth.

Seeing this, the somewhat vengeful Fang Bat II coldly issued a judgment.

"Despair! You've messed with the real King!"

"call!"

Xia Chuan pushed aside the second-generation Fang Bat blocking his way, clenched the cloth strip tightly around his palm, and walked straight toward the gloomy boy wiping the green blood from the corner of his mouth.

The last one is category K.

He's been waiting for quite a while now.

"Aren't you the one causing trouble?"

"What's going on?"

After the time stop was lifted, Fujiwara Saiji fell to the ground with a thud, and when he turned around, he saw the boy flying out.

The boy, who hadn't moved an inch under his attacks, was actually sent flying with a casual blow.

Is he really that weak?

He finally managed to become a level 3 knight...

Fujiwara Saiji's gaze narrowed slightly as he turned to Natsukawa Kalis's figure.

"This is Kalis?"

Compared to Kuuga and Dark Kiva, whose photos have been circulated, Kalis, who ranked third, is the most mysterious, with only some rumors and silhouette images available.

It seems that very few people have ever seen Kalis face-to-face.

So this is what the real Kalis looks like. He doesn't seem to be in the same style as Kenzaki Kazuma Blade at all.

"Whoosh!"

How did you know?

The boy stared intently at the cloth strip in Xia Chuan's hand, his brows twitching repeatedly, and his pupils dilating considerably.

They actually cracked the secret of the 10 of Spades in one go.

It feels like I know him even better than he does...

The boy's expression changed again.

"Did you already know beforehand? Why?"

"If the scarab beetle is really that unbeatable, it wouldn't have been absent from the last finals."

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan caught the scarab beetle that suddenly teleported to block him with his Kalis Bow held horizontally. The ribbon on his hand fluttered, completely unaffected by the time-stopping ability. With a flip of his sword, he easily cleaved the scarab beetle away.

"Looks like you're the one causing trouble."

"So what if I am?" the boy snapped, grabbing his fingers. "I just want to see you in a mess! Because you're really annoying!"

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan sidestepped the telekinetic attack launched by the boy with his bare hands, picked up the Kalis Bow again, and suddenly leaped up as the boy floated back in the air.

"Stop him!" the boy shouted in panic, hurriedly manipulating the scarab beetle again to block the attack, which then faded and disappeared in his place.

"They escaped?"

Fujiwara no Saiji never expected this outcome.

The once invincible boy seemed to have become a completely different person.

But it seems like Kalis didn't do anything from beginning to end.

"Why weren't you stopped in time?" Fujiwara Saiji looked at Natsukawa, who had just slain the scarab beetle, with confusion. "And..."

Xia Chuan raised his hand and threw out a blank card to seal the Scarab Undead Beast. He glanced back at the still-static shopping mall interior and then traced the card that had flown back across the Kalis Bow and Arrow.

The beetle phantom with a clock pattern condensed and activated, emitting a golden light from Xia Chuan's hand towards the time-stopped area.

"Release!" Xia Chuan whispered the command.

"Whoosh!"

Time resumed its flow, and Hiroko Asami, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly screamed and fell, rolling into a ball with Kazumi Takahashi, who was equally panicked below.

If we disregard its limitations, this card's abilities are indeed somewhat overpowered.

After confirming that there were no problems, Xia Chuan put the Scarab Card back into the card box and retrieved the Kuuga card that had been placed in the dark.

He made many preparations before coming, including activating the Hearts 10 in advance so it could be used at any time.

The ability of the Heart 10 is to shuffle and overturn the battle situation; in his hands, he has the ability to reset the battlefield.

After all, there's no guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen, so the ability to reset can serve as a safety net.

Kuuga is a last resort, designed to address the issue of the scarab's delayed activation of its abilities and the inability to use time stop continuously.

Even if the interval between the two ability activations is only 1 second, it is enough for Kuuga to turn the tide.

Although I really don't want to expose the relationships between the various Knight systems, when it comes to security issues, I can't afford to worry about that much.

In addition, the Fang Bat II can also be considered a safety net.

However, it seems that none of these insurance policies were ever used in the end. The King of Spades was completely straightforward, making his meticulous preparations seem a bit silly.

There was a reason why the King of Spades was betrayed by the King of Diamonds.

"call!"

Xia Chuan once again relied on the dragonfly's immortality to levitate, following the scent of the King of Spades to fly away from the plaza.

Where can it run to?

It would be one thing if they didn't show themselves, but now that they've appeared in front of him, they can't possibly escape so easily.

"Whoosh!"

The boy running on the street was pale-faced.

No matter how much he disliked Xia Chuan, he was well aware of the difference in their strength.

Without the scarab's time-stopping ability, he would be no match for Xia Chuan.

It was he who was careless.

At that time, we shouldn't have immediately deactivated the time stop, nor should we have gotten close.

What should I do?

The boy's mind raced, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he remembered the attack he had staged to lure out Natsukawa Kalis.

The knight system in this world is also very powerful.

Human knights can be used to deal with Kalis.

With so many human knights, surely they can hold off Kalis?

……

the other side.

Shimura Junichi looked at Kondo Isami with a hint of disdain, but upon getting closer, he composed himself and smiled at him.

He was actually beaten to a pulp by his own skill card, Stormhound, and in the end, he had to step in to reseal Stormhound.

"Don't think too much, Kondo. You should go back to the Knight Academy to recover from your injuries."

"I'm fine, Captain," Kondo Isami said, his face flushed. "Give me a little more time, and I'll definitely find Leangle!"

He admitted that a level 4 knight was indeed quite powerful.

However, the Plum Blossom Knight is not a fully-fledged Level 4 Knight.

Only by activating the Guardian form or even the King form can one be considered a true Level 4 Knight; the Plum Blossom Knight simply cannot do that.

No matter how high the wearer's fusion coefficient is, it's useless without equipment. Besides, the current condition of the Club Knight is also very bad. The wearer seems to be having a mental battle with Club A.

"Trust me, Captain..."

"No need," Junichi Shimura shook his head and sighed. "The Ace of Clubs isn't so easy to suppress. She'll come back on her own sooner or later."

"Why did you come back on your own?" Kondo Isami was completely confused.

It had been a while since I'd seen the captain, and he seemed a bit unfamiliar. I wondered what he was plotting.

"Of course, it's because only I can restart the Ultimate Battle."

Junichi Shimura pressed down on Isami Kondo's shoulder, then turned his gaze to Kenzaki Kazuma, who was walking out of the research lab.

The medicinal bath has reached its limit; only by fusing and fighting with the undead creatures of the Spade type can Kenzaki Kazuma be further enhanced.

As expected, we still need to take the spade card back from Kalis.

"Perfect timing, you can all participate in the next operation together," Junichi Shimura said seriously. "The time has come to truly test your abilities."
