Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 30 Escape

"call!"

Hokkaido.

After leaving Sapporo, Natsukawa transformed into his Azure Dragon form and ventured deep into the front-line mountains.

The blizzard had subsided somewhat, but the weather was still extremely bad. There was no one in the mountains, so there was no need to worry about being seen.

"Brother!"

Walking out of a valley forest through the snow, Xia Chuan first looked at the base fortress on the distant mountain ridge. After scanning the area, fragmented images of Ultraman battles suddenly flashed through his mind.

"here it is……"

Xia Chuan stood still, looking left and right at the surrounding mountains. He could almost see Ultraman pulling on the monster's tail and swinging it out, causing an entire small mountain to be smashed and collapsed by the force.

So that's how it is. This is where Ultraman once fought.

He revisited the place, only now he had become Kamen Rider Kuuga.

After gazing at the snow-covered ruins for a while, Xia Chuan continued to venture deeper into the mountains.

Even a blizzard can hardly completely cover up the traces of a thunderstorm, and Xia Chuan quickly found the location of the incident.

Electric currents still occasionally emanated from the air, as if a thunderstorm had just occurred, and it seemed that the base had not yet been there.

"Sizzle!"

Following the electric current, Xia Chuan turned his gaze to the other side of the valley.

"Ahem!"

In the dim, snowy landscape, the white-clad, newly born Kuuga limped along, accompanied by painful breaths.

It was as if some terrifying being was chasing him from behind. He fell several times but did not give up. However, his strength was limited and he finally collapsed into the snow and lost his transformation.

After losing all protection, Murai Ryota's face turned bluish-purple instantly, and he fell into an extremely weak state.

"Am I... going to die here?"

After suffering from hypothermia for several days, Ryota Murai gradually felt his body getting hot and burning. He wanted to take off his clothes, but he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.

At that moment, I seemed to be hallucinating.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps on the snow, Natsukawa Kuuga's red figure appeared in the snowstorm.

"Kuuga?"

Despite the excruciating pain, Murai Ryota raised his head with a trembling voice. He struggled to open his eyes wide, as if in a final burst of energy, trying to see clearly. To his surprise, he discovered that the Kuuga before him was not an illusion.

"Quick, run!"

"call!"

Xia Chuan stopped and glanced at Murai Ryota in the direction from which the wind and snow were coming.

A young man in white could be vaguely seen deep inside, seemingly radiating a dazzling light, standing out even in the snow.

Even though he had never seen the Dagu human form before, Xia Chuan recognized it immediately.

He can unleash terrifying killing intent directly in human form; just looking at him seems to crush you. Only Daguba can do that now.

"You're here? It's been a long time."

The young man in white still smiled, and proudly placed a golden core of a royal Gurongi belt on his abdomen.

"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you..."

"call--!"

Another gust of wind blew by, and the young man in white instantly disappeared into the snow.

"It's stronger than before."

Xia Chuan watched quietly as the young man in white disappeared.

He had never actually fought Daguba before, and when they met again, his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.

are you afraid?

He is still human after all, how could he not be afraid?

but.

It's understandable that the weak are afraid.

As long as you become stronger, you can overcome fear head-on.

Turning his gaze away, Xia Chuan bent down, hoisted Murai Ryota onto his back, and headed back towards the front-line base.

Since the base personnel dared not come over, he could only send Murai Ryota to the outside of the base first.

Otherwise, this guy would have frozen to death here.

Spirit stones can indeed strengthen the host's body, but there are limits.

Moreover, the spirit stone within Murai Ryota's body has not only exhausted its energy but also seems to have developed cracks. It will take a long time to recover, and it is simply unable to protect its host.

"rustle!"

Without entering the base, after hearing footsteps nearby, Natsukawa abandoned Murai Ryota and sped away with a whoosh.

"Someone's there!"

The patrol quickly spotted Ryota Murai and rushed over with the knight cadets.

"It's Murai! Help!"

"How did he end up lying here?"

"Just now……"

Onoue Takumi looked in the direction Natsukawa had left with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong? What a coincidence?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little bothered by it."

……

Tokyo.

Shinagawa Ward, Dolphin Pool.

The sea snake woman with bangs emerged from the water, her beautiful figure revealed as the current flowed through her. Her wet, long hair clung to her full breasts, a striking expanse of white skin.

However, the large number of floating corpses in the pool behind them quickly triggered a series of screams.

A slight smile appeared on the serpent woman's indifferent face. She glanced back and then went into the dressing room to change before leaving.

All 16 bodies were killed in an instant, without even the victims having time to react.

"The fatal injury appears to be related to burn marks on the chest, but the cause of death is still unknown."

"These guys are still so cruel."

When Detective Kudo arrived at the scene, 16 bodies were already laid out side by side by the pool. Forensic personnel covered them with tarpaulins and carried them away.

"But it's really strange. There are so many people in the pool, why are only these 16 people the victims?" a police officer next to him asked curiously.

"It's probably some kind of murder rule again."

"Officer!" a police officer called out from outside, holding a phone. "Just now, a murder occurred at a swimming school! There are more than 20 victims!"

"Is it the swimming pool again?"

Detective Kudo took a deep breath.

"These guys are killing on a larger scale. I'm going to check out the situation over there. I'll leave this place to you."

"yes!"

Lexus Swimming School.

Xia Chuan stood in the crowd outside the cordon and watched as the police carried the body out, with a young woman following behind, crying and calling out her son's name.

24 people were killed.

Perhaps because of the similar environment, the behavior patterns of these resurrected Gurongi are not much different from those in the TV series "Kuuga".

Unfortunately, he was not familiar with these kinds of rules of killing.

We're left with no choice but to resort to stupid methods.

"Whoosh!"

After getting away from the crowd, Xia Chuan's waist belt appeared, and he instantly transformed into a blue dragon, leaping onto a nearby high-rise building.

This time, we absolutely must stop the Gurongi in time.

"Buzz—!"

As a green flash burst forth, Xia Chuan's entire body changed color, transforming into a Pegasus form. Subsequently, a large amount of golden energy spread out, further transforming him into a Pegasus and sublimating him.

Unlike the protagonist in "Kuuga", he did not obtain sublimation energy through external electrical stimulation.

The 99 fusion coefficient allows him to freely activate the power of spirit stones through his own fighting will, making his "at will" ability even more powerful.

In the ascended Pegasus form, one can freely enhance sensation.

"Found it."

After looking around, Xia Chuan suddenly turned to face Bunkyo Ward, as if he could see the sea snake woman with bangs walking into a water park.

Mizusawa Water Park, Bunkyo Ward.

"Buzz!"

A whistling sound came from the sky at just the right moment, and the giant golem beetle flapped its wings and flew down from the sky, slowing down and hovering above the rooftop.

"I'm here."
