Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 305 Rescue

"Buzz—!"

A sharp, piercing sound emanated from the mirror world, and a red dragon roared as it appeared intermittently in the street's reflective mirror, as if observing the outside world through a window.

"Mirror Knight? Could you be...?"

As the red dragon circled and flew to the side of the knight's shadow, Captain 01's pupils suddenly dilated, and he reflexively summoned the belt to activate the Ascension Key.

Under the invisible pressure, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, making the usually simple transformation accident difficult. Even reading the sublimation key became troublesome, and he was unable to insert it smoothly for a long time.

However, the Knight Shadow seemed to be waiting for him to transform. Only when the fluorescent green 01 armor was fully covered and his aura reached its peak did the swirling red dragon burst out of the mirror world with golden flames.

"roar--!"

"team leader?"

The 01 team members, who were chatting and laughing outside the dungeon passage and preparing to find a place to relax, suddenly changed their expressions. Turning around, they saw 01, who had jumped high into the air, being swallowed by a long dragon of flames.

"Ugh—!"

"Bang!"

At the street intersection, when the 01 team members rushed to the scene, they only saw their captain fall like a damaged robot, tumbling and bouncing on the ground before crashing headfirst into the roadside green belt.

The flames left a long trail, and even the 01 armor turned quite black, lying motionless in the ruins.

"team leader!"

"What was that attack just now? How did the captain get attacked?"

"call!"

Amidst the scattered flames, 01 struggled to lift its head and look towards the intersection.

The red dragon and the knight's shadowy figure have both disappeared.

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the Den-O instance.

"Kondo Isami..."

Without thinking too much, Captain 01 suddenly blacked out and completely lost consciousness amidst the shouts of his teammates.

"team leader!"

"Help! Save them!"

In the Mirror World, Xia Chuan glanced at the panicked members of Team 01, put away the solidified 01 card, and rode his exclusive Mirror Knight motorcycle.

I've got 12 main rider cards.

The number of cards in the deck is no longer a limit; the only remaining restrictions are clearing dungeons and increasing the shuttle level.

Since the number of levels cleared is related to the card power that the shuttle can mobilize at the same time, subsequent upgrades should not be a problem.

"Whoosh!"

As the motorcycle sped along, the OOO Core Coin suddenly began to glow again, disrupting the surrounding spatial barriers.

Xia Chuan quickly took out the coin, his senses being drawn towards a distant copy of spacetime.

It seemed like they could go directly there, but they were blocked by some force and quickly lost connection again.

Has the "OOO" dungeon for Kamen Rider OOO been opened?

Foundation X's words are really unreliable.

It seems that the so-called dungeon slots are not for the exploration period.

Is the plan to open it to him only after he has cleared the level?

"Anku!"

Suddenly, a voice calling out echoed in Xia Chuan's mind.

"Rise quickly, Ankh!"

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan stopped the motorcycle in the Mirror World space passage, holding the core coin and looking around.

It's a sound from the OOO dungeon.

Amidst the flames and wreckage lay a young man covered in blood, his breath growing weaker and weaker, his unfocused gaze seeming to pierce through endless space in search of something.

"This is my last wish..."

……

The next day.

Alliance Building.

Natsukawa, Michinaga, and Konan, led by Asami Hiroko, entered the reception room and saw the commander pacing back and forth with a furrowed brow.

"Didn't 01 come?"

The commander asked a question with a hint of dissatisfaction, and then placed a regular coin from the "OOO" timeline in front of everyone.

Unlike the core coin, which is entirely silver, it does not exhibit the same special reaction as the core coin as a unit of energy.

"Time is of the essence, so I'll keep it brief," the commander said gravely. "This is a key item from the new instance. Because it has great research value, Foundation X invited Mr. Kotaro to explore it. However, this morning, the shuttle system associated with Mr. Kotaro suddenly lost connection."

"A new instance?"

My wife, the Taoist priest, subconsciously snorted coldly.

After the W instance was released, Consortium X said they would provide instance slots, but then quietly approached RX instead.

Although he intended to undergo special training for a period of time and not plan to explore new dungeons for the time being, he was really unhappy about being looked down upon.

"So RX is trapped in the instance now?" Master Agasa asked, looking up.

"We don't know the specifics yet," the commander sighed. "That's why I called you level 5 knights here. I hope you can form a rescue team. In addition to the points reward, the Alliance will also open up the item vault as a reward."

My wife, the Taoist priest, frowned even more deeply.

His recent dungeon experiences have put him under immense pressure; a level 5 knight is simply no match for him in the dungeon world.

At least his current strength is far from sufficient.

He really didn't want to enter the dungeon so quickly if he could, but RX did need rescue.

The alliance, and indeed the entire world, cannot afford to lose RX.

"Kaminaga..."

Hiroko Asami tightened her grip and quietly poked Natsukawa's back.

"It seems there's something wrong within the alliance; it's best if you don't get involved in this."

"Don't worry, Commander. Of course we can't ignore what happened to Mr. Kotaro."

Xiao Nan, standing next to him, readily responded and then scanned the crowd.

"But if they said they were summoning level 5 knights, why isn't A-Yong here?"

"Mr. Kondo said he still needs to recover from his injury."

"Is he injured?"

"Now it's up to you all. If you've made up your minds, act quickly."

The commander continued to lay out the silver coins in a deep voice.

"These coins are like dungeon entry tickets; combined with the Knight system, you can enter new dungeons."

There were three coins in total. After Master Wagatsuma and Konan took two, the remaining coin ended up in Natsukawa's hand.

Hiroko Asami secretly felt annoyed.

He should have told Xia Chuan not to come.

"fine."

Xia Chuan remained calm, but the image of the young man in the sea of ​​fire flashed through his mind again.

In this dungeon, is the protagonist going to die right at the start?

Did Consortium X choose to play the game in reverse?

Once the faction is activated, there is indeed such a way to clear the dungeon, but it should be limited to team-based combat dungeons, and the difficulty will inevitably increase in the process.

"If all three of you are okay with it, let's start preparing now."

The Alliance's underground research facility is the same place where we entered the W instance last time.

A giant machine was placed in the center of the room, and the white light emanating from the dungeon passage filled the entire space.

"This is a time-space device used to connect to and stabilize the dungeon passage. It originally belonged to the Fujiwara Foundation," the commander explained, gesturing to the surrounding staff.

"Buzz!"

As a wave of energy spread out, the silver coins in the hands of Xia Chuan and the other two simultaneously buzzed and entered an activated state.

Unlike the serious-looking Master Gasai, Konan seemed exceptionally relaxed, taking the initiative to step into the dungeon passage ahead of everyone else.

Before anyone else could catch up, Xiao Nan, who had entered first, was suddenly thrown out without warning.

"Bang!"

"ah--!"

Before she could react, Daoist Agasa was hit head-on, and the two of them tumbled and slid backward off the time-space device, causing the violently out-of-control electrical energy to spread in all directions.

Xia Chuan's gaze narrowed slightly as he pulled Asami Hiroko, who was also about to be affected, away.

The dungeon has been cleared!
