Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 128 Uncle Kaminari

"Let me go!"

In the port area, the little boy who had been sent away by Kenzaki Kazuma beforehand did not get far before falling into the hands of the Dragonfly Monster. However, he was not killed, but was instead sent to Shimura Junichi's side.

"Kensaki!"

Shimura ignored the child's struggles, grabbed the child by the collar, and threw him in front of an open space.

"This is the humanity you're protecting? What's the point? I'll give you one more chance, come back!"

"Don't believe him!"

At their temporary hideout, the Plum Blossom Knight, now pale-faced, struggled to hold back Kenzaki Kazuma, who was trying to leave.

Ultimately, they couldn't completely avoid the attack. The main impact was blocked by the knight's armor, but the aftershocks were still beyond what a weak human body could withstand.

After coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, the tomboy's life force grew weaker and weaker.

Unlike on a conscious level, this time the tomboy truly felt the approach of death.

The pain wasn't that intense, but the feeling of slowly waiting to die was despairing and unbearable.

"He just wants to use you as a sacrifice, don't go over there!" the tomboy gasped, trying to stop him.

Kenzaki Kazuma gently broke free, looking at the weakened tomboy with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment: "Why did you save me? You were clearly..."

"You're Uncle Kaminaga's student, right?"

The tomboy had little strength left, and his last look at Kenzaki was full of envy.

"To be honest, I used to be jealous of guys like you, thinking you were just lucky... But the old man is right, not everyone is suited to be a knight. I've seen it all. You're really amazing. Keep living well..."

"Feel sorry."

Kenzaki Kazuma shook his head and stepped back.

"I can't escape, and I can't run away."

"call!"

Amidst the turmoil, Kenzaki Kazuma reluctantly left his hiding place and walked towards Shimura Junichi, shrouded in the shadows of swarms of dragonfly monsters overhead.

"Kenzaki-nii-san, run!"

The little boy rushed to Kenzaki's side in a panic, but couldn't budge Kenzaki at all.

"Brother Kenzaki..."

Kenzaki Kazuma stared intently at Shimura Junichi Glaive with a stern face, silently pushed the little boy away, and transformed into the clown again with a flash of green light.

This time, he was prepared to stop suppressing the clown's power, and only in this way could he have the strength to fight Shimura.

"I've never hated anyone this much before... No, you're no longer human!"

Kenzaki Kazuma growled and roared.

Not only his body, but his consciousness also began to transform into that of the Joker.

It's ironic that someone who wants to save humanity has to become a monster instead.

"Shimura! I'm going to kill you this time!"

"Kill me?" Shimura Junichi raised his hand to wipe the blade of his Awakened Sword, then chuckled. "You? You think a mere clown can contend with the Fourteenth Lord?"

"call out--!"

Suddenly, a long, piercing sound came from the other side of the sky. Starting from the outermost layer, the swirling dragonfly monsters exploded one after another, creating a blank passage.

The remaining dragonfly monsters completely ignored Shimura's order to blockade them and scattered in all directions.

Wild Kalis flew into the airspace in an instant, leaving behind a trail of magnificent explosions and flames.

"Whoosh!"

With a swift movement, Xia Chuan landed on the ground. He first glanced at the clown Kenzaki, who had stopped, then gripped the Kalis Bow and Arrow tightly, and abruptly raised his hand to deflect the light blade attack unleashed by Shimura Junichi.

"Bang bang bang!"

An out-of-control light blade spun across the sky, clearing out another area of ​​dragonfly monsters.

What should have been an oppressive, apocalyptic atmosphere turned into a sense of threat as the dragonfly monsters seemed to be the ones being threatened, instinctively retreating a considerable distance and completely exposing Junichi Shimura's Glaive figure.

"call!"

Natsukawa faced Shimura Junichi directly, his red heart-shaped compound eyes remaining calm, slowly emitting a green glow representing the power of a clown, yet his aura far surpassed that of Kenzaki Kazuma, who had transformed into a clown behind him.

He resembled a walking Grim Reaper.

Junichi Shimura suddenly woke up, his mouth dry under the Glaive mask, and he suddenly lost the courage to continue.

"Stop him! Stop him!"

While controlling the dragonfly monster to cover himself, Shimura retreated rapidly, fleeing the battlefield without looking back.

He only received a portion of the power bestowed upon him by the Fourteenth Prince; he was not the Fourteenth Prince after all.

"There's no need to fight this guy to the death. Once Lord Fourteen is fully awake, he'll naturally kill Kalis!"

"Float!" The four-heart dragonfly floats and flies.

"Drill!" The red 5-headed conch shell rotates at high speed, drilling.

"Tornado!" A six-heart eagle with a tornado attribute bonus.

In the center of the port battlefield, Xia Chuan held three separated cards and swiped them into the Awakening Device. As a huge card image appeared, he leaped up.

Fusion cards are powerful, but they also consume a lot of resources and are not area-of-effect attacks. Dealing with these dragonfly monsters is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

There aren't as many Dragonfly Monsters left as before, so using a Fusion Card special move would be too wasteful.

"Whoosh!"

The armored figure of Xia Chuan spun rapidly in mid-air, and the tornado energy around him continued to expand. Even if the dragonfly monsters caught in it were not killed on the spot, they were still thrown to the ground and lost their ability to fight.

Compared to its normal form, the same skill is significantly more powerful when used by Wild Kalis.

In an instant, it was as if a tornado had truly formed in the sky above the battlefield, eliminating the dragonfly monsters at a speed no slower than before. In the blink of an eye, not a single dragonfly monster could be seen in the vicinity.

"Whoosh!"

Natsukawa landed back on the ground and, under the watchful gaze of the clown Kenzaki, walked straight past the remains of the Dragonfly Monster towards the tomboy's hiding place.

"Kalis?"

Kenzaki transformed back into human form, paused for a moment, and then ran towards the hiding place.

"Wait, she's not an enemy..."

Xia Chuan did not respond, but simply looked at the tomboy quietly in the light filtering through the ruins.

"Are you an older man?"

The tomboy slowly turned his head, and an unusual look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xia Chuan. His pale face turned rosy again, but the rate at which his life force was declining accelerated.

"I should have known. Uncle is Kalis. No matter what, this feeling of familiarity can't be faked... Please, can I see him one last time?"

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan paused briefly, and Kalis retracted his form, deactivating his transformation as he spoke softly, "If you hand over your body to Category A, you still have a chance to live."

"Does that really count as living?"

The tomboy sniffed, looking at Xia Chuan's unchanging face, tears welling up in his eyes, and he forced a smile.

"It's great to see the uncle again. It feels like I'm back at the taiyaki shop."

Xia Chuan silently glanced at the tomboy who was both crying and laughing, his gaze falling on the tattered Plum Blossom Knight belt.

The Hearts faction has a healing card that might have a healing effect, but this belt is unusable, and the tomboy's injuries are not ordinary.

"If it's an older man, maybe we can go back. The other me will continue the promise and inherit my taiyaki making skills..."

The tomboy trembled as she took out her plum blossom card box and handed it to Xia Chuan. At the last moment, she could no longer maintain her smile and cried sadly in a lower and lower voice.

"Waaah... I miss home, I want to go back so badly, I'm so unwilling to let it end like this."

Xia Chuan silently accepted the card box, and only turned and walked out of the ruins after the tomboy's aura had completely subsided.

"God, God the Eternal Teacher?"

Kenzaki Kazuma gasped as he brushed past Natsukawa, unable to react for a moment.

Only then did the details of the past flash back in his mind.

"Is the mentor also an undead being? But..."

"Kalis is a knight too. I just transform using Category A, just like you."

This isn't the real world, so Xia Chuan wasn't too concerned about his identity being exposed. He glanced at Kenzaki Kazuma and reminded him.

"Don't easily give up your human identity. The Joker is the Joker, and you are you."
