Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 199 The Venerable One

Port Warehouse Street.

A girl covered in wounds tumbled off the transport truck, rolled and crashed into the bridge railing with a thud, and then, dragging her ankle chains, quickly rushed into the darkness.

A moment later, the sound of emergency brakes came from behind, and an armed team shouted as they got out of their vehicles to give chase. Before they even got close, bursts of gunfire rang out.

"Bang bang bang!"

"call!"

The girl tensed up as if in response, and her eyes narrowed as she saw the jaguar beastmen being attacked by the soldiers through the moonlight.

He is a messenger of God, a lower-ranking venerable one.

It's really coming!

"Fire!"

The soldiers were unaware of the danger, seemingly mistaking the Venerable One for an ordinary monster, until all the bullets were blocked and shattered by the invisible barrier surrounding the Venerable One.

"What's going on?"

"retreat!"

"snort!"

A halo appeared above the leopard-shaped Venerable's head. He drew a spear from it and calmly faced the armed team that was firing continuously. After taking a deep look at the hiding girl, he suddenly accelerated and knocked all the surrounding soldiers away.

Before the woman could escape, two more figures emerged from the other side of Warehouse Street.

They are both jaguar species, just with different colors, long scarves fluttering in the wind, and their feline eyes shining in the darkness.

"What's wrong with these guys?"

The armed captain winced as he propped himself up on his arm, watching in horror as the Leopard Venerable walked past him.

It seems the other side isn't targeting them.

"Could it be... Agito?"

"Buzz!"

The dragon rider's figure flashed past in the street mirror, striding past the soldiers to catch up with the Leopard Venerable.

The girl glanced at the mirror with a puzzled look, but didn't have time to think much about it. She rushed out of her hiding corner amidst the attack of the three Leopard Venerables.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Bang!"

Pulled by an invisible force, the warehouse crates tumbled and rolled like an avalanche, finally bouncing up and crashing into the nearby Leopard Venerables.

Telekinesis?

Xia Chuan paused slightly.

Agito's power usually only manifests as superpowers, and only when fully awakened can one become Kamen Rider Agito.

This level of superpower is incredible for ordinary people, but it's no match for the Venerable One who specializes in hunting down Agito.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan reached out from the mirror and, to the bewilderment of the Spear Leopard Venerable, pulled him into the mirror world.

"Bang--!"

A loud explosion of unknown origin resounded, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, and only then did the remaining two Venerables notice that their companion had disappeared.

"Um?"

After exchanging a glance, one of the Venerable Ones continued to pursue the girl, while the other stayed behind and searched around.

After a while, the Spear Leopard Venerable was completely bewildered and reassembled his body. Xia Chuan's figure also appeared in the streets and alleys, and the Kuuga belt appeared on his abdomen, revealing the red Omnipotent Form amidst flashing red light.

It's the rule of the world again.

The usual methods still can't eliminate these kinds of monsters; I can only hope that I can make a difference.

Although they are not from the same system of knights, since Kuuga's legend exists in Agito, theoretically he should be exempt from the rules.

"Agito?"

"It seems so..."

"Kill him!"

The two leopard lords, bewildered, gathered together, exchanged another glance, and then leaped and charged towards Xia Chuan.

Whether it's Agito or not, it doesn't look like a normal human being.

Kill!

"call!"

Xia Chuan raised his hand to block the first charging Leopard Venerable, dodged the second attack by turning to the side, and suddenly kicked it away.

Under the super-limit physique, the power exerted by the ordinary all-around form is already quite astonishing. The unsuspecting Leopard Venerable's eyes widened, and he screamed in pain as he was kicked hard and slid backward out of the alley.

"Ugh!"

"What?"

The armed forces that had just recovered retreated one after another, and the afterimages of battle could be vaguely seen in the moonlight flashing through the streets and alleys.

"Someone is fighting an unknown creature!"

"Is it a knight? The nearest patrol knights shouldn't have arrived yet..."

"Bang--!"

As soon as the Leopard Venerable got up, a sealing mark ignited on his chest. Unlike the Gurongi, whose internal energy was detonated, the mark continued to expand and was eventually burst by the immense power.

At the same time, a girl's painful scream suddenly echoed through the streets and alleys. An invisible shockwave exploded, and a hideous monster's shadow appeared, roaring and howling like a demon born from hell.

"It's Agito!"

The soldier captain's voice trembled.

"That guy has awakened!"

"Retreat now!"

"roar!"

Xia Chuan turned around and stepped on the Leopard Venerable. After hearing the soldiers' terrified shouts of retreat, he turned to face the other side of the street and saw the last Leopard Venerable being torn in two alive.

Under the moonlight, a green-skinned bio-knight with sharp claws and teeth, covered in blood, panted heavily after completing his attack. He then opened his mouth and roared defiantly at Xia Chuan, his body lowered in extreme tension.

It's not Agito, but a subspecies or an incomplete transformation form.

Kamen Rider Gills, a bio-rider resembling a beetle, is far more ferocious than the real Agito. He usually cannot freely control his power and consumes his life energy.

"Bang--!"

Xia Chuan exerted force with his feet, stomping the Leopard Venerable into the ground. As cracks spread in the street, a sealing mark expanded and exploded once more.

The deafening roar startled Gills, who retreated several steps as he faced Natsukawa Kuuga. However, after the dust from the explosion dissipated, the spot where he had stood was completely empty.

Just as suddenly appearing, it also left without a trace.

After letting out another low growl, Gills glanced at the large number of police cars arriving as backup outside the street, then quickly turned and ran away.

……

The next day.

School villa.

As usual, Hiroko Asami was going to be busy again, but she still took the time to make breakfast before going out.

"This is never going to end. I wonder which knight timeline it is this time. I heard it involves forces within the Alliance."

Asami Hiroko muttered as she recounted the story.

"Yesterday, a witness saw a bio-knight, but it was different from the previous ones. It is said that there is a secret force chasing it, but in the end, no news came out."

Xia Chuan didn't say anything, and after finishing his breakfast, he asked, "Was Kondo Isami discharged from the hospital today? The training hall was quite lively this morning."

"That has nothing to do with Kondo-sensei," Hiroko Asami shook her head, looking at Natsukawa with a strange expression. "Haven't you heard anything? A new superpower class has been added to the school, specifically for children with superpowers."

"Superpower Class?"

"Yes, it was originally intended to be located in the city, but because there have been attacks on superpowered individuals, it has been temporarily transferred to the Knight School."

Hiroko Asami turned her head to look at a car passing by outside.

"The alliance seems to want to use these kids to form a team of knights. After all, they are superpowered. If their development goes smoothly, they will start at a higher level than ordinary knights."

Xia Chuan narrowed his eyes and noticed that a refined young man got out of the car with a little boy and went straight to a villa across the street.

At the last moment, the little boy frowned and glanced in their direction, his eyes concealing a warning.

Superpowers...

Are they humans who have awakened the power of Agito?

……

Central Hospital.

The west wind swirled up fallen leaves, and Kondo Isami stood alone at the crossroads, his eyelids drooping for a while before he finally looked around at the cars passing by.

No one came to pick him up from the hospital.

Not only do they not come to visit, but they've even forgotten the day he was discharged from the hospital... Isn't that a bit too much?
