Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 120, 3 Category K cards

"Whoosh!"

"Gone?!"

Time continued to flow, and all the knights were stunned to find that Xia Chuan had disappeared without a trace. When they came to their senses and turned around, the space once again fell into stillness.

Fujiwara successfully activated Time Ascension, but only managed to catch a glimpse of Natsukawa's afterimage.

Kalis!

No one knows how much time passed. When Xia Chuan regained consciousness, he had completely disappeared, along with the boy who had sought refuge earlier.

"call!"

"Clock over!"

As Fujiwara Daiichi exited his Time Rising state, he also deactivated his transformation. His expression was inscrutable, revealing nothing of his thoughts. He simply stood among the Riders, quietly watching the spot where Natsukawa had last stood.

Time stops.

It's unbelievable that it has such an outrageous ability.

How could we possibly win?

Shimura swallowed hard and quickly addressed the surrounding knights, "Don't worry, everyone. I know that card, the 10 of Spades, the Scarab Undead Creature. Although it can be used to stop time, it definitely has some flaws. The 10 of Spades isn't invincible, otherwise Kalis wouldn't have been able to get it!"

"Perhaps the 10 of Spades isn't unsolvable, but what if Kalis is inherently very strong?"

A mage knight said quietly.

"Is it possible that even if we find the flaw, we'll be completely helpless?"

With this kind of ability, forming a group seems pointless.

"Kenzaki," Shimura Junichi said, his expression softening as he turned to Kenzaki Kazuma, "I'm doing this for your own good, no matter what. The remaining Spade cards are probably all in Kalis's hands, and if you want to continue getting stronger, you can't get around Kalis."

……

Bay Coast.

The aura of the 10 of Spades Scarab card between Xia Chuan's fingers had weakened, and it seemed to have become much quieter.

This card has a new flaw: perhaps because it's not part of his Hearts deck, its effect after being sealed is significantly weaker than that of the Scarab Undead.

The activation animation has a longer start time, so if a Kabuto-type Rider is prepared, they can react in time.

In addition, the number of times it can be used is limited, unlike the scarab beetle which can be used whenever you want.

The Blade series of knights has an AP value equivalent to mana, and cannot use cards indefinitely.

Aside from higher-level undead creatures that can add AP and Category A creatures that don't consume AP, most other undead creature cards consume AP.

The cost of the Spade 10 is 2200. For Blade, whose base AP is only 5000, if he doesn't advance to the next level, he can only use Time Stop twice at most. This is without considering the possibility of getting other skill cards.

Blade's Guardian form has a slightly higher AP of 7400, while its King form has 9600.

If we make an analogy, his current Kalis AP is around 20000, and he can only use time stop no more than 10 times.

Overall, it's better to use AP to unleash some high-cost ultimate moves.

The power ratio of Blade series knights is 1:100.

Theoretically, 20000 AP can unleash up to 200t of attack.

His current Dark Kiva second-stage ultimate move, Wake Up 2, has a theoretical destructive power of only 180t.

Faced with overwhelming strength, the 10 of Spades seems somewhat lackluster.

However, since it is a time-stop skill, it can be very convenient if used properly.

Especially when you don't want to fight.

He wasn't the real boss, so he ignored the knights' interest.

Bullying the weak is not his style.

Although he didn't like the way many knights behaved, he had to admit that the world's peace was indeed thanks to these knights.

It is impossible to hold everyone to the standards of a saint.

"Speaking of which, this is the last superior undead creature, isn't it?"

Xia Chuan picked up the newly sealed King of Spades card with his fingers.

Apart from Tiger Q and Plum Blossom Island Rising, all other superior undead creatures have been sealed away.

I've collected three Category K cards without even realizing it; I only need one more to complete the set.

"Um?"

Knight School.

Dao Sheng, who was in meditation, opened his eyes. The ribbon of his headscarf fluttered gently. He opened his senses in confusion and saw two short-haired female figures following the wind.

"Plum blossom category Q... Is that the little kitten? It should be helping Kaminari search for lower-level undead creatures. The other one..."

Dao Sheng's expression was complicated.

Because he had been waiting for the battle against Category A, he was quite concerned about the condition of the Plum Blossom Knight, and of course he was also aware of the Tomboy's situation.

"That child doesn't have time."

……

"Hmm!"

A deserted corner of the park.

The tomboy opened his eyes with a soft hum, and as his vision gradually cleared, the figure of Tiger Q, the short-haired woman, came into view again.

it is true.

There really is another her.

"Who are you?"

"You don't have much time left to stay conscious," Tiger Q said coldly, turning his head away. "The next time Category A awakens, your consciousness will be completely swallowed up, and you will have no self left."

"I know."

The tomboy turned pale, remained silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and looked at Tiger Q again.

"You're a superior undead creature, right? Can I ask you for a favor?"

"Don't get me wrong," Tiger Q frowned and turned to leave, "I didn't save you to help you..."

"Then I will seal you away!"

The tomboy struggled to her feet despite the pain, her fingers gripping her belt tightly, ready to transform at any moment.

"At least I can still control myself for now. Don't doubt my resolve!"

"Are you an idiot? I already told you you'd be swallowed up by Category A."

Tiger Q turned around with a cold laugh.

"Don't underestimate me! I'm not some other undead creature; you can't handle me!"

"Don't underestimate me!"

The tomboy painfully fastened his belt, panting heavily as he transformed into the Plum Blossom Knight.

The fusion coefficient, which was originally impossible to improve, inexplicably loosened, breaking the limit and increasing from 95 to 96, and an atmosphere of madness immediately spread in the room.

Even Tiger Q couldn't help but change color slightly.

"Are you crazy? What exactly do you want to do?"

"I can't go back anymore, so..."

The tomboy desperately suppressed the will of Category A.

"I hope you can take my place and continue living, so that my family's taiyaki shop doesn't go out of business and you can fulfill your promise to Mr. Kaminaga."

"ha?"

Tiger Q is talking nonsense.

"The Kaminaga-sensei you're talking about is......"

"Say yes."

Xia Chuan's voice suddenly rang in Tiger Q's mind.

Natsukawa didn't have much affection for the tomboy, they weren't friends, and the master-disciple relationship was out of the question; they had only spent two days together at the taiyaki shop.

But they weren't complete strangers after all.

Even if the current situation is the tomboy's own choice, he cannot remain completely indifferent.

He can't save the tomboy yet.

Not to mention that the best solution would be to sacrifice the sealed Tiger Q and Island Rising.

The tomboy's situation is also quite different from that of the swashbuckler in Blade.

The latter was only affected and did not completely lose consciousness; he remained conscious most of the time.

The tomboy is too well integrated; she has almost become one with category A, and what she needs is to fight against herself.

Especially this transformation, breaking the 95 limit also meant losing the last chance.

but.

He could also help with the tomboy's other requests.

Tiger Q has also found a place to stay.

"Kalis?" Tiger Q subconsciously looked around and sensed that Xia Chuan was nearby in the park.

"Say yes."

Xia Chuan's gaze swept over the Plum Blossom Knight, who was groaning in pain, and continued to transmit his thoughts.
