Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 127 Sacrifices

"Crackling and popping!"

Ruins Square.

Xia Chuan was constantly attacked by dragonfly monsters from all directions. He not only had to deal with those on the left and right, but he also had to pay attention to the sky above him.

After slaying several more dragonfly monsters that swooped down, Xia Chuan turned around and kicked away a wild dog-like undead creature that had taken the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The undead creatures here don't seem to have any immortality attribute; they're basically just grunts, a bit more advanced than the Dragonfly Monsters.

It's more accurate to call it an undead imitation than an undead creature.

The undead creature that attacked the survivor camp earlier was also killed by him with a single arrow.

He had a vague guess.

These are very likely ancient undead creatures abandoned by the administrators, including the evil god XIV.

In the world of knights, almost every event involving wishes is a gimmick, and some are even pure traps and scams.

Even if one's wishes are fulfilled, there are usually limitations.

Even if the evil god XIV were to wish for invincible power, he certainly wouldn't be able to surpass the administrator behind the sealing stone tablets.

If the evil god XIV's ambitions are great enough, he might very well plot to seize the true power of the ruler.

This guy was nowhere to be seen in the last Extreme Battle, which is very likely because he was suppressed by the administrators and only found a chance to escape now.

"call!"

"Evolution!"

Xia Chuan turned around and swiped in the King of Hearts card. The entire Hearts deck surrounded and merged into the belt awakener, advancing once again to transform into Wild Kalis.

As the energy shield expanded, all the dragonfly monsters rushing towards them were bounced away as if they had crashed into a wall.

For a time, it created a spectacular scene reminiscent of moths drawn to a flame.

Once the fusion coefficient reaches 100, even the Wild Kalis, the Joker's transformation in Blade, is significantly weaker than him.

After all, the Joker's Seal card is also in the deck now.

He could easily wield all the abilities of the heart-type undead, and their effects would surpass those of the original undead.

"Bang bang bang!"

The fierce attacks continued relentlessly until the dragonfly monster finally paused its offensive after a while.

At this moment, Xia Chuan finally freed his hands, pulled out the two scythe-shaped Wild Slashers, folded them together, and transformed them into a new Awakening Device component that was embedded in the Kalis Bow and Arrow.

The once monotonous bow and arrow suddenly took on a wild form, with the folded awakening device component in the middle resembling a bow and arrow striking a sword or gun.

"Whoosh!"

One by one, the heart cards flew out, merging with the clown card in front of Xia Chuan, until only one special fusion card remained and fell into Xia Chuan's hand.

"Wild!"

Combining the power of 13 cards, Wild Kalis's ultimate move.

Xia Chuan held the Fusion Card and slashed it across the bow and arrow. Golden energy surged into the front of the bow and arrow, and then a dazzling shock wave shot out, breaking through the dragonfly monster formation with a high-speed spinning tornado.

"Whoosh—!"

Even from tens of kilometers away, the pillar of light that erupted from the ruins square was still clearly visible. Shimura Junichi stopped his motorcycle and looked back with a look of surprise, as if he had returned to the time when he faced Kalis.

Not only him, but Kalis also seems to have gained new power.

We need to hurry.

Judging from this, the Dragonfly Monster probably won't be able to hold out for long.

"Transform!"

"Open up!"

Junichi Shimura calmly fastened his belt, passed through the Golden Cerberus card mirror image, transformed into Glaive, and walked straight towards the bridge arch with the Plum Knight.

Just then, Kenzaki Kazuma chased away the little boy and walked out alone, leaning on the bridge pier.

When they met again, the atmosphere between them was still tense.

"Tell me, Captain Shimura," Kenzaki Kazuma said in a low voice, "were you deceiving us from the very beginning? Was making me stronger just to enter this world? My body..."

"You guessed right, it was all part of my plan."

Junichi Shimura's laughter returned to normal.

"Kenzaki, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't you like becoming stronger? Without me, you'd probably still be with that school instructor, and you'd never be this strong, right? Come back, come back to me..."

"Shut up!"

Kenzaki Kazuma roared angrily.

"That's not the power I want! I'm not a Kamen Rider anymore!"

"Kamen Rider?" Shimura chuckled. "I also have the technology for the Rider system. If you like this kind of game, I can create a Rider system specifically for you."

"Kamen Rider isn't a game!"

Kenzaki Kazuma's form transformed, accompanied by the green light emanating from his belt, as he panted and turned into his clown form.

"I became a knight to protect those around me!"

"Isn't it good now? As long as you come back, you can rule this world with me and the Fourteenth Prince, and protect whomever you want..."

Stop lying to me!

Faced with Shimura Junichi's fake smile, Kenzaki Kazuma's heart turned cold, and he roared in a fit of rage.

"What are you up to now? Stop being disgusting! If you want to hit me, then hit me! All I want to do right now is kill you!"

"You've disappointed me so much."

Shimura Junichi glanced back at the greatly reduced number of Dragonfly Monsters, his voice instantly turning cold. At the same time that Kenzaki Kazuma roared and charged out, he indifferently raised the Awakening Device longsword.

"Bang!"

Just like during the battle at the research institute, Junichi Shimura quickly swiped the Evil God Card. Before advancing to the next level, an image of Evil God XIV appeared in front of him, sending the clown-transformed Kenzaki Kazuma flying with a violent electric shock.

"Ugh!"

"You are no match for me, Kenzaki."

Junichi Shimura continued drawing cards, striking a finishing move, and coldly scrutinized the disheveled and rolling clown Kenzaki.

"That was true before, and it's true now—that's the power of the Fourteenth Lord!"

"Mighty!" Powerful gravity.

Gravity Slash!

With the power of the evil god, Glaive's ultimate move unleashed a howling wind, and the gravitational field distorted space, converging on the Awakening Device longsword to form a dazzling blade of light that lashed out at the clown Kenzaki.

Due to the influence of gravity, Kenzaki the Clown's body became exceptionally heavy, and for a moment he was unable to dodge.

"Run!"

"Bang--!"

The previously silent Plum Blossom Knight suddenly lunged forward, knocking aside the Clown Kenzaki and narrowly avoiding the light blade attack.

"Um?!"

Junichi Shimura waved away the dust from the explosion and grimly discovered that the two had both disappeared at the same time.

"How dare you betray the Fourteenth Lord? Very well, it seems we'll have to offer another sacrifice."

Without wasting any time, Shimura Junichi gathered the remaining dragonfly monsters around him and chased after them as they left the bridge hole.

"call!"

"Found it."

In the ruined plaza, Natsukawa slashed through the body of the last attacking dragonfly monster. Glaive's image appeared in his mind, and Kenzaki Kazuma's aura and the image of the Plum Blossom Knight also entered his perception at the same time.

Just as he predicted, Kenzaki really did become the new Joker.

Swish!

After confirming the direction, Xia Chuan took a step and leaped up, using the Red Heart 4 Dragonfly ability to fly out of the square and street like an arrow.

The dragonfly monsters that tried to block the way fell down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Unexpectedly, perhaps because of the large number of people slaughtered, the physique level on the panel fluctuated slightly.

Although the improvement was insignificant, it conveyed an important message to him.

Unlike his past travels, the strange people in this world will provide him with evolutionary experience.
