Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 330 The Sword in the Stone

"strangeness."

Team 01 retreated to the edge of the battlefield in a huff, looking at Hojo Emu, who was in a sorry state under the magical attack, and felt a strong sense of incongruity.

"Why does this guy seem weaker? He's like a newbie."

"That's right, even at game level 2, the performance shouldn't be like this."

"Could there be a mistake, Captain?"

Captain 01 continued to observe amidst the questions from the crowd, but he also felt something was amiss.

In the first hidden level, "Dragon Knight" also participated in the game, but he didn't perform like this back then.

It's impossible for such a big change to occur just because the transformation system has been changed.

But who is Ex-Aid now?

"Let's see how things go first," Captain 01 said in a deep voice.

"Bang! Bang!"

The evil mage on the battlefield did not change his attack pattern, still alternating between "Stop" and "Paralysis" spells, occasionally interspersed with a few "Crush" spells.

Lightning struck and flames erupted at the scene.

Not only was Emu Hojo, who was directly restraining the enemy, also unable to avoid being attacked from the side.

A magic circle almost covered the entire area, and Goto, who was already injured, was knocked to the ground again.

"hateful……"

"Hahaha! You think you can defeat me with this little skill?" The evil sorcerer was completely relieved. "Once you're gone, I'll become my true, complete form, the strongest game boss!"

"The strongest... It really feels like a game; even the villains' lines are all the same."

Hojo Emu propped himself up with the warhammer, exhaled lightly, and pulled out the game cartridge to reactivate it.

Amidst the interweaving of data, the game world of "Extraordinary Action" rapidly expands, covering the ancient castle battlefield.

In mid-air, there were also cubic wooden boxes radiating outwards from various corners, and even a treasure chest landed not far from Hosho Emu.

"My game begins! I will change the fate of my patients!"

"Clang!"

Emu Hojo flipped over and kicked open the treasure chest. An enhancement coin automatically popped out and merged into the Ex-Aid armor, simultaneously increasing speed and defense.

"strengthen!"

That's it!

Eimu Hojo constantly recalls the fighting style and gaming techniques of his other self.

The fusion coefficient has finally reached level four, and he has truly mastered the Ex-Aid Knight System.

"Seniors, can you hold on? I should be able to last a few more minutes!"

"How could it not withstand it?"

Goto groaned to suppress the pain in his legs and feet, focusing all his attention on the sleeping Takahashi Kazumi.

He was mentally prepared when he chose to become a player, even if he disappeared, he would still advance the level.

He would risk his life for any chance of saving his son.

"One more time!"

"it's useless!"

The evil sorcerer's staff erupted with intense light, and the magic circle continued to activate, as he decided to deal with Emu Hojo first.

He was also struggling to cope with attacking so many players at the same time.

The key point is that even at level 2, Ex-Aid did pose a threat to him.

Chronicles is not player-friendly; unless you can transform into a legendary knight, normal players simply cannot complete the game.

The one who can truly clear the game is the Kamen Rider, who was also set as the target.

Because these knights possess special weapons capable of unleashing finishing moves.

"Bang! Bang!"

After dodging two consecutive lightning strikes, the evil mage trembled slightly, a strong sense of unease welling up inside him.

His moves seemed to have been figured out, and with the players' cooperation, he started to become somewhat reckless and focused on the immediate situation rather than the long-term consequences.

Despite not communicating, the players sprinted in batches with perfect coordination, and a few even fired long-range shots to harass them.

"Instantaneous Stop Technique!"

"Crushing Technique!"

A series of magic circles gathered and dissipated on the ancient castle battlefield, and the enhanced Emu Hojo rushed to the evil magician first.

Team 01, who were watching from the sidelines, lost their composure.

"What's going on? Can these guys really beat the game?"

"Captain, what do we do now?"

"Let's take another look." Captain 01 stared at Emu Hosho with a gloomy expression.

They are definitely not the same person.

He looks like just a naive and immature teenager.

However, even if it's not "Dragon Rider," there must be some connection, otherwise there's no reason for it to have a game transformation system.

This isn't some mass-produced item; each game's transformation system is unique.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only level 2 now; even within the existing knight system in this world, it's among the top.

Perhaps we could conduct an investigation around the teenager.

Foundation X would likely be very interested, since the previous representative was very likely killed by "Dragon Knight".

This also allows him to ease tensions, as the previous misunderstandings will have some impact.

It's all the fault of "Dragon Rider".

Absolutely heinous!

"Um?"

Xia Chuan turned his head from the shadows and looked at the oppressive atmosphere of Team 01.

These guys always like to cause trouble.

To this day, I still don't know the purpose of traveling all the way to this island nation.

The possibility of escape is slim; I always feel there's some kind of conspiracy.

Jumping around.

Even someone as kind-hearted as him, who dislikes killing, has had the urge to kill several times.

In fact, it would be very easy to make these guys disappear, and no one would even suspect him.

However, there are still many Rider systems to collect in the 01 series, especially the 02 form, which is said to be the strongest.

The future may still fall on these guys.

After observing the members of Team 01 for a moment, Xia Chuan shifted his gaze back to the main battlefield.

Hojo Emu did indeed rush in front of the evil mage, but due to the huge level difference, he was actually overwhelmed by the mage in close combat.

This kid, it's good that he's energetic, but he might get beaten to death.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a subtle energy fluctuation caught Xia Chuan's attention.

While many players were using power-up items to clear stages, Haruto, one of the frontline players, was secretly helping Hojo Emu.

Although we don't know what happened to this student, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. At least he hasn't turned bad and still has the heart of a knight.

He wasn't wrong about him back then.

"hateful!"

Seeing that the defenses had been breached, the evil sorcerer, disregarding Emu Hojo, hastily pointed his staff at the hostages.

"Everyone back off, or this woman will be dead!"

"What?"

The light emanating from the tip of the staff startled everyone, causing them to stop in their tracks. Before they could even consider what to do, they saw Hojo Emu leap and pin the evil magician down.

"Now's the time!"

"Let go!"

The evil sorcerer was enraged and unleashed his magic nearby, sending bolts of lightning from all directions striking Hosho Emu.

"Paralysis!"

"Sizzle!"

Hojo Emu endured the electric shock until the players broke through the vines and rescued the hostages before letting go and being thrown away.

"Did it work?"

Sakurai Keikazu carried the hostage away from the castle area, but when he looked back, he didn't see any props or any clues.

The evil sorcerer remained unharmed.

"How could this happen?"

"It's completely useless!"

"Haha," the evil sorcerer realized his mistake and burst into laughter again, "That Palad guy, you've all been fooled!"

"Bang--!"

Another round of magical bombardment ensued. With no worries about the rear, the evil magician even stopped guarding the castle and jumped out to pursue the most threatening enemy, Emu Hojo.

"This game is my way of winning you over!"

"Be careful!"

Surrounded by countless magic circles, Emu Hojo had nowhere to escape, and the enhancement effect had reached its time limit.

However, the final, fatal attack did not come.

"Huh?"

Having regained his freedom, Emu Hojo looked up in confusion, just in time to see Goto wielding a flaming armored sword, interrupting the evil sorcerer's spellcasting.

"That sword..."

It's the sword in the stone where the hostage was just now!

The strategy guide is correct.

It's just that Parad deliberately misled the boss.

This is a game of swords and magic!

"call!"

As the flames surged, a new player driver appeared at Goto's waist, automatically transforming him into a knight system.
