Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 233 Bounty Knight

"Mizuki..."

At the street corner, Mizusawa Yuuki, in her knight form, defeated the cockroach-type Amazon blocking her way. Suddenly, she staggered, her stamina dropping drastically, and she gradually felt powerless.

Even when facing the girl he was protecting, he couldn't control his hunger, the rich aroma of meat constantly stimulating his taste buds.

For Amazon, human protein is superior to all other foods.

"Yu? What's wrong?"

"I'm so hungry..."

Mizusawa Yu pushed the girl away with difficulty, his rationality constantly teetering on the edge of being human and monster.

This time, I left the school not only because I couldn't fit in with the other students, but also because I suddenly received a call from my host family, the Mizusawa family.

For him, who had no past, the Mizusawa family was once his everything.

"call!"

"Found it!"

Several bounty hunters appeared at the intersection, stepping through puddles. The captain, who was leading the group, had a savage face. Without transforming, he crushed a skinny Amazon, chewing on something that was splattering juice everywhere.

"You two, you can really run like the hell."

"You are... knights?"

Mizusawa Yu barely managed to stay conscious, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was.

"Can you please rescue my sister? Please..."

"ha?"

The bounty hunter captain seemed to have heard a joke. He turned around, looked at his men, and sneered as he examined Mizusawa Yu, who was covered in blood.

"The league never said they were going to rescue anyone. We don't do things that don't pay a bounty and lose money..."

"I can offer the bounty," Mizusawa Yu instinctively sensed hostility. Facing the malicious scrutiny, she mustered her last bit of defensiveness. "I'm a student at the Knight Academy..."

"Knight School students are nothing! They're useless to my Wolf Fang! I only care about points!"

"I can contribute..."

How much can you raise?

The bounty hunter captain smiled knowingly.

"How about you give yourself to us? You're a rare Amazon, worth enough to exchange for a level 5 resource. I've been dreaming of seeing what a level 5 knight looks like!"

"What's wrong with a level 5 knight?"

Xia Chuanjihu's figure appeared behind everyone in the gradually falling rain, like a ghost, which was inexplicably frightening in the terrifying atmosphere of the sealed-off area.

"Extreme Fox?" The bounty hunter captain was genuinely startled, but quickly regained his composure and calmed down. "Shinji Kaminari? I wasn't talking about you. This is none of your business. Get lost before I lose my temper..."

Xia Chuan ignored the other party, his gaze sweeping over the five members of the bounty team before finally settling on the unnaturally averted face of the middle-aged man.

One of the three level 4 knights among these people was someone I knew.

The Frog Knight series is called "Extreme Fox".

"So you've found a team?"

"God, God Eternal." The middle-aged man's face was exposed, and he could only respond awkwardly.

"You two know each other?" The bounty hunter's anger subsided slightly. "This guy's son's condition has worsened, and he desperately needs a lot of points. How about we do a good deed? Give me this Amazon, and it'll also help save his son..."

"You've got the wrong idea. Mizusawa isn't just a registered knight of the League, he's also my student."

Xia Chuan's gaze passed over the bounty knights and quietly fell upon Mizusawa Yu, who was in terrible condition and like a ticking time bomb.

Kamen Rider Omega.

Wildness and humanity coexist.

Mizusawa Yu's current level is too low; he is not yet able to tame his wild nature and could transform from a knight into a monster at any time.

"I've already notified the Alliance troops stationed outside. Let's go."

"court death!"

The bounty hunter captain's body shimmered with heat, the Agito emblem appeared on the soles of his feet, and he transformed into a green-skinned Agito with a grim expression.

Unlike regular Agito, it has more pronounced biological characteristics and is more like a monster than a knight, with a very ferocious appearance.

"Stop, Wolf Fang!" the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, trying to stop him. "Let it go this time, we'll figure out another way to get the points..."

"Don't get in my way!"

The green-skinned Agito angrily shoved the old man's face away. As the emblem on the soles of his feet fully merged into his body, his figure grew even taller, and explosive power filled his muscles.

"You keep talking about how great a Level 5 Knight is, well, I'll show you today! Come on, hit me!"

"Bang!"

The middle-aged man slammed his face and back against the wall, the pain almost killing him. Seeing the green-skinned Agito entering his familiar rage mode, he hurriedly endured the pain and threw away the Magnum buckle in his hand.

"Kamiyoshi! You can borrow this!"

"You fucking..."

Green-skinned Agito watched incredulously as the Magnum buckle fell into Xia Chuan's hand, his shoulders trembling as he glared angrily at the old man's face.

"You bastard, which side are you on? Huh? Are you out of your mind?!"

"Assemble!"

Magnum!

Xia Chuan glanced at the middle-aged man's face again, but without any politeness, he pressed down on the loading buckle.

"call!"

As the red and white ribbons fluttered on his back upon entering his login form, armor of the same style surrounded him, instantly creating a three-dimensional outfit. His knight eyes turned orange-red, and his hands automatically conjured exclusive firearms.

After assembling and upgrading the buckle, it can significantly enhance combat power, and it can even be said that it is like having two completely different knights.

This can be considered a characteristic of the "Extreme Fox" series of knights; the level only determines how much power the buckle can exert, and without items, it's nothing...

Of course, this applies to regular riders.

Xia Chuan is an exception.

Magnum is merely icing on the cake, adding ranged attack capabilities.

"Boss, what do we do now?" The remaining bounty knights transformed and gathered around the green-skinned Agito. "They seem pretty powerful. Is this what a level 5 knight is like?"

"What does this have to do with a level 5 knight?"

Agito, the green-skinned man, lowered his center of gravity menacingly, only to see the Magnum gun aimed at him the next moment.

Oops……

"Bang bang—!"

Amidst the explosions of fire and rain in the streets and alleys, Agito, the green-skinned man, was struck repeatedly on all four limbs. He barely managed to rush forward, only to be kicked away in the face.

So fast!

The force was also astonishingly heavy...

The green-skinned Agito tumbled headfirst to the ground in a daze. When he saw the exclusive weapon in Xia Chuan's hand that had transformed into a gun, he finally lost his courage and hurriedly got up and retreated.

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

"Bang--!"

Xia Chuan aimed his gun at the green-skinned Agito, waited a moment, briefly charged up, then lowered the gun's line and fired a shot. The special energy bullet turned into an explosive one, and the shockwave blasted straight at the backsides of the group.

The green-skinned Agito, which had only run a short distance, screamed and was thrown ten meters away.

"Ugh!"

"Boss of Wolf Fang!"

Xia Chuan lowered his gun and watched the group disappear at the end of the street.

After all, this was the real world, and he wasn't planning to kill anyone.

Although the Magnum can only be considered a basic weapon for the Extreme Fox, it is quite powerful in his hands and can easily cause trouble when dealing with these half-baked knights.

"You've gotten stronger again."

The middle-aged man, his face covered by his drooping arm, limped closer, his brows twitching as he watched the bounty hunters flee in disarray.

Xia Chuan also used Magnum last time, but it was definitely not this exaggerated back then.

"How many points are you missing?" Xia Chuan pulled off the Magnum buckle to deactivate his transformation and asked the middle-aged man directly.

"What?"

"Didn't you say your son needed points?"

"We need at least another 2," the man said, his face darkening. "The experts from the Alliance say we've been infected with an unknown virus and need a lot of points to survive."

"There should be over 3 yuan left in this card. I'll lend it to you for emergencies."

Xia Chuan took out the gold card registered under his real name.

Since there weren't any particularly large expenses, the accumulated credit card balance was quite considerable.

The other card, which has reached Diamond rank, has already surpassed 10 million points, and its personal score is catching up with the league's, but it can't be used; it can only be used to upgrade rank.

"Kaminaga..."

The middle-aged man's face and mouth were dry. After breathing heavily for a while, he shook his head and said.

"I only need 2... consider it as collateral points for Magnum."

"A mortgage?" Xia Chuan was slightly surprised. "What will you do without Magnum?"

"I still have regular weaponry," the man sighed, "Actually, regular weaponry is enough for me. I wouldn't be able to utilize the Magnum much, so it's more suitable for you."

At least no one will laugh at a level 5 Desire Knight for being weak anymore.

In the end, Xia Chuan couldn't refuse.

2 is nothing to him, but it's a considerable sum for this middle-aged man.

A level 5 knight upgrade resource in the Alliance currently costs only 5 to 10.

Using so many points as collateral in Magnum is a bit wasteful, but it's still understandable.

He also needed Magnum.

Having Magnum around would certainly make things much easier, and any outrageous behavior wouldn't arouse suspicion.

"God's Eternal Mentor".

Afterwards, Mizusawa Yu broke free of his transformation and walked out of the alley with the girl's help. After a moment of silence, he pushed the girl beside him out.

"Mizuki is just an ordinary human being, please take her out of here..."

"Where are you going?" Xia Chuan turned to face Mizusawa Yu, who was about to leave. "At this level, you're far from graduating."

Mizusawa Yu's shoulders trembled slightly.

"Mentor, am I... am I really human? I know everything now. The reason I have no family is because I was an experimental product from the beginning. Those people were right, I'm just a rare kind of Amazon, no different from any other Amazon in essence..."

"You've never eaten a human, have you?"

Xia Chuan could sense the purity of Mizusawa Yu.

Whether or not Amazon has eaten people makes a big difference, and once it starts, it's hard to turn back.

"I can't answer your question right now. The answer is up to you: whether you stay here and eke out a living until you're wiped out, or go back to school and become a true knight."

"Watery marshland!"

Fujiwara Saiji led the group and Asami Hiroko into the neighborhood, where they saw Mizusawa Yu with his back turned in the distance.

"Come back, the next dungeon is about to open, and this time we all have a chance to enter."

"You mean the Den-O dungeon?"

The middle-aged man, who was about to quietly leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The main reason he joined the bounty hunter team was to get into this raid instance.

The points that can be obtained from the Time-Space Dungeon far exceed those from various smaller dungeons, but there was never any opportunity to do so before.

We can't miss this rare opportunity.

"Can I join you?" the middle-aged man asked nervously, not caring about saving face. "I'm an old friend of your professor."
