Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 394 Vermilion Bird

"Gurgle!"

In the wilderness of Heim Forest, Xia Chuan, who had only been running for a short while, suddenly felt weak and was overwhelmed by a strong sense of hunger.

I almost forgot that my clone is currently in a possessed state.

Kakui Yu is just an ordinary person. He only ate one cup of dessert a day, but he has been frequently engaged in fierce battles and can no longer withstand his exhaustion.

In this godforsaken place, not a single alien can be seen; survival itself has become a problem.

After looking around, Xia Chuan casually grabbed an exotic fruit, put the transformed Lock Seed into his belt, and his hunger completely disappeared along with the faint light emitted by the Lock Seed.

Ryoma Sengoku, who designed this belt, is truly a genius.

Exotic fruits that cannot be eaten directly can not only be transformed through the belt, but also provide the nutrients needed for survival.

But where have all the otherworldly beings gone?

Xia Chuan looked around the forest with a puzzled expression.

Were they all lured away by the knights of this world?

"Hurry up!"

Deep in the forest on the other side.

Kirishima Natsuki and Sakurai Kagekazu are simultaneously besieged by aliens. After finally dealing with the ordinary soldiers, they unexpectedly encounter a dominant alien from the Fimsim clan.

A green armored exoskeleton, red peacock feathers, wielding a snake sword as a weapon, and capable of spitting fireballs from its mouth.

The level of this weirdo is at least level five.

Kirishima Natsuki was in a sorry state, her Swan Knight's shoulder was pierced, and blood kept soaking into it.

Compared to the former Mirror Knight, the Desire Knight is indeed somewhat ordinary. Without powerful items, even as a fourth-level knight, his combat power remains low.

If it weren't for Sakurai Keikazu's timely support, she would have already died at the hands of the Overlord Alien.

It's truly tragic; she seems to be inferior even to the students at the Knights Academy now.

"No, I'll hold him off, you go first!"

Seeing the surrounding forest plants rustling, Kirishima Natsuki stopped, panting heavily.

"Don't tell your advisor about me when you get back, and don't tell Hiroko Asami either..."

"Do you know Master Shen Yong?"

Sakurai Keikazu exclaimed in surprise. After struggling with his conscience for a moment, he decided to stop fighting.

Although the knights participating in the battle are all competitors, they are all knights of this world after all, and he cannot stand by and watch them die.

Moreover, the other party seems to have a connection with the mentor.

Kirishima Natsuki didn't give a direct answer, her gaze piercing as she stared at the terrifying figure in the dense forest fog: "It's no use. If you stay, you'll only cause another death. Every person who can leave now is a good chance..."

"Leave? Where do you think you're going?"

The Suzaku, a foreigner, appeared with mockery.

If it weren't for the king's order forbidding the killing of these humans, he would have wiped them out on the spot.

fair enough.

I've been staying in Heim Forest ever since my race's civilization was destroyed. It's been far too long, so long that all I feel is boredom.

They finally have some toys to play with, so they can't just stop playing so easily.

"I'll give you one more chance," Suzaku said dismissively, stopping in his tracks. "Attack with all your might. If you can injure me, I'll let you go."

Kirishima Natsuki felt a chill run down her spine.

It can actually speak.

Not only is their strength far superior to that of ordinary aliens, but they also possess intelligence.

The league has not mentioned it at all.

With such a severe lack of intelligence, why start the battle prematurely?

"You don't want to?"

The Vermilion Bird alien raised his serpent sword, and the already eerie plants around them swayed their branches and leaves, like demonic claws, completely blocking their escape route.

"Should I kill him outright, or try to salvage his life? Maybe if I try hard enough, he might actually manage to hurt me, hehe."

"hateful!"

Sakurai Keikazu's fingers trembled slightly as he gritted his teeth and gripped his bow and arrow armor tightly amidst the Suzaku alien's hoarse laughter.

I'm sorry, sister...

"I'll hold it back!" Kirishima Natsuki shouted, suppressing the pain in her shoulder, and charged towards the Suzaku alien with her longsword.

"Swan-senpai!"

Sakurai Kagekazu was jolted back to his senses. Seeing the flames gathering again in the Suzaku alien's mouth, he quickly fired a light arrow to cover his retreat.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Ha ha!"

The Vermilion Bird alien suddenly dissipated its flames, raised its serpent sword, and easily caught all the light arrow attacks. Just as Kirishima Natsuki rushed close, it transformed the light arrows into energy and launched a counterattack.

"How can the wisdom of inferior monkeys compare to that of us, the Fimsims? Keep struggling! I love listening to your desperate cries!"

"Bang--!"

The light flow landed, and the snake sword cut the longsword in two before turning towards Kirishima Natsuki's arm.

The king only forbade him to kill these scumbags, but he didn't say he couldn't torture them.

"First, cut off their limbs..."

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan Xiewu moved swiftly through the forest, his hands wielding two blades. After combining them with his equipment, one end of the saber emitted a bright light, and before the Vermilion Bird alien's attack could land, a blade of light slashed out.

"Who?!"

The Vermilion Bird alien instinctively turned around, but before it could dodge, it was hit by the light blade. A deep gash was cut into its green exoskeleton, which was only saved from being split in two by the plants of the Heim Forest that wrapped around it.

"You are...?"

Upon recognizing Xia Chuanxiewu, the Suzaku alien was enraged.

"That bastard who murdered Lord Demshu! How dare he show his face again! I will avenge Lord Demshu!"

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan swung his twin swords, directing the energy towards one end of the Great Orange Pill.

This guy in front of me isn't even as good as Demshu, so seeking revenge is a joke.

It's true that the Overlord of the Otherworld can control the plants of the Heim Forest, but these plants alone pose no threat to him.

"call!"

The glowing orange ball cleaved through the vines and trees blocking its path, transforming into a streak of light that cut straight ahead. The snake sword shattered, and the Vermilion Bird alien was split in two with just a scream.

"Damn monkey, the king will never let you get away with this! One day... you will too..."

"Bang--!"

Xia Chuan sheathed his sword and broke through the flames.

His level is too high now, so killing this thing only yields points and nothing else. He can only rely on clearing dungeons.

Aside from that, the only other option is probably to defeat the King of the Otherworld.

Out of the corner of his eye, Natsukawa glanced at Sakurai Kagekazu, who had survived the ordeal, and the Swan Knight, before turning his gaze toward the ruins.

Despite the distance, the scent of the golden fruit was still clearly perceptible.

Hmm? The Swan Knight?

Xia Chuan took a step forward and looked back at the scene again.

Familiarity with life's fluctuations allows for intuitive perception.

I remembered.

Is it the same Swan Mirror Knight from before, whose contracted beast was devoured by the Peerless Dragon and then transformed into the Desire Knight?

"You...you are a knight of this world?"

Kirishima Natsuki remained vigilant, inwardly groaning.

Although he was saved, the knight in front of him didn't seem like a good guy.

Don't let its cute appearance fool you; its aura is far more terrifying than that intelligent alien from before.

Cute has transformed into domineering.

"Let's leave in this direction," Xia Chuan pointed in the direction he came from, "That area is relatively safe for now."

After arriving, he sensed a lot of battle fluctuations, but the direction he came from was unusually quiet.

"that……"

After recovering, Sakurai Keikazu wanted to ask more questions, but saw Natsukawa walk away without looking back. He felt regretful but also secretly relieved.

"It seems that the knights in this world are not as dangerous as the League's data suggests."

"Maybe they think we're too weak and pose no threat," Kirishima Natsuki said, rubbing her shoulder in bewilderment.
