Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 58 Akane

Kiva's 2008 timeline takes place in Delan Dragon Castle, home to the Fangblood Demon royal family.

"Second Wolf, you went back?"

"Yes, I went back and took a look."

Future Wolf squinted and pondered. Compared to the past, the future version of Wolf seemed to have lost its wildness, but it also looked more mature and had a bit of a leader's temperament.

"A strange guy appeared in the past, and it seemed that spacetime was unstable because of him, so I went to investigate. I never expected that he would become the first person to wear the IXA suit, and he almost killed me in the past."

"A strange guy? What kind of person is he?"

The boy next to him, dressed in a sailor uniform and behaving strangely, grinned and asked curiously.

"Could it be that someone else has traveled back in time? Could they possibly liberate us?"

"liberation!"

The big, simple-minded young man next to him chimed in with agreement.

Like the second wolf, all three were sealed away as Kiva equipment as the last members of their respective tribes.

It appears to act in human form, but its true form has become a whistle.

"Forget about liberation, he'll only kill us," Natsukawa's image resurfaced in Tsering's mind. "Perhaps the changes are due to our interference with the past, or perhaps the other side is the original history... In any case, let's see how things go."

"But why kill us?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"It's probably something I did in the past." Cilang subconsciously touched his nose.

"What?"

……

1986 years.

"Yuri!"

Akane chased after Aso Yuri out of the park woods with her violin, almost out of breath, but could only see her back in the distance.

Not only is he incredibly strong, but his physical abilities are also extraordinary.

"Phew, she's definitely the woman I've chosen... Wait for me, Yuri!"

As Xia Chuan stared at Hong Yinye's retreating figure, his gaze grew clearer, and his previous thoughts became even more certain.

Unlike the previous Kuuga instance, this world feels like stepping out of the beginner village; the difficulty has increased significantly.

Based on his own research, his situation can also be referenced from other shuttle users.

The so-called "clearing the level" should mean passing the "test" of this dungeon time and space, and the corresponding knight system is the knight he uses to clear the level.

For example, in the Kuuga instance, he won the killing game by using the Kuuga identity, and finally obtained the Kuuga belt with a fusion coefficient of 99.

I guess the world is pretty much the same.

He hasn't even obtained the Kiva system yet, so even if he clears the game, he'll only get the half-finished IXA.

Regarding how to obtain the Kiva system...

The qualification to transform is not the problem; the restriction that the Kiva System requires the bloodline of the Fang-blooded Demon to transform does not affect him. The key is that the Kiva System needs to rely on the power of the Fang-bat clan to transform.

The fanged bat is the main body of the Kiva belt, and it has a very clear sense of self. It is one of the demon races and can choose who wears it.

It's not bad to be able to get a favor from Akane Otoya now.

As the father of the future protagonist Wataru, Akane is also a key figure in the world of Kiva. Whether it's acquiring the Knight System or clearing this dungeon, it's hard to avoid Akane.

However, there's not much we can do right now, and whether it will be helpful remains to be seen.

Are you serious?

The wolf's figure returned to the park at some point, and after confirming that Xia Chuan had lent out the ixa punch, a dangerous glint reappeared in his eyes.

Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity to get rid of Xia Chuan.

Without IXA, wouldn't a human be at his mercy?

He was furious right now.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me yesterday!"

Cilang clenched his fingers and glared at Xia Chuan, his voice filled with gritted teeth. He wanted to attack but hesitated and did not step forward. He simply lowered his body and assumed an attack stance without even changing his position.

After calming down, his wolf instincts made him vaguely sense danger.

Moreover, he cared more about the enemy who had wiped out his clan than about the humiliation he was in.

"Tsk!"

After biting hard, the second wolf reluctantly called out to Xia Chuan.

"Let's cooperate. You can't destroy that Fangblood Demon. I'm not lying to you. He's one of the four top executives of Chess, reigning supreme among the Fangblood Demons. He's a terrifyingly powerful guy who's bored and empty inside. Killing is just a game for him, understand?"

"Not interested."

"Since you understand, then... what?"

"I don't need to cooperate with you yet. Go back."

Xia Chuan shook his head and walked out of the park's woods.

He would definitely be interested in cooperating with the future Second Wolf, but not with the current Second Wolf.

"call!"

A cold wind suddenly swept through the city, and the sky gradually became covered with dark clouds, looking like it was about to rain.

Passersby who were originally strolling around quickened their pace.

Rook, the man in the leather jacket, strode across the pedestrian crossing with a somewhat irritable air. He had just finished a game and was taking a short break when emptiness welled up in his heart again as he walked.

"Hey, anything interesting?" ROOK suddenly grabbed the arm of a passerby, his expression frantic as he pressed for an answer.

"W-what?" The passerby struggled in fear. "Let go!"

"No? Then go die!"

After failing to get the answer he wanted, ROOK menacingly released two floating, glowing teeth, preparing to absorb life energy amidst the horrified gazes of passersby.

When there is no objective in the game, a person's fear can temporarily fill the void.

"stop!"

Yuri Aso rushed to the scene and her expression changed drastically when she saw ROOK preparing to commit the crime. She hurriedly unleashed the Fang Blood Demon Slayer Whip form.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Um?"

ROOK's attack was interrupted by the metal whip. He casually shook off the passerby and looked at Yuri Aso with a puzzled expression.

"And who are you?"

"I've finally found you, the enemy who killed my mother!"

Yuri Aso grabbed her ixa fist and glared angrily at ROOK.

"Tell me, why did you kill my mother?"

"Mom? I can't possibly remember every single one of the targets," ROOK walked straight to Aso Yuri. "Do you have anything interesting to say?"

"You bastard! I'm going to..."

Aso Yuri stared intently as ROOK approached, her breathing involuntarily quickening, her fingers clenching so tightly they trembled, yet she couldn't activate the transformation authentication for a long time.

It was as if a spell had been cast on him, and his whole body was stiff.

The horrific scene from two years ago resurfaced in her mind: her mother turning transparent and collapsing before her eyes...

What do you want?

ROOK walked up to Aso Yuri in the blink of an eye, ignoring the ixa punch, and looked down at the sweating Aso Yuri.

Even without transforming, ROOK's oppressive aura remained incredibly heavy.

"Yuri!"

Hongyin also caught up, panting, and seeing the situation, she rushed towards ROOK without thinking.

However, compared to Rook's strong physique, Akane was far too thin and weak. She was thrown away by Rook and crashed into the roadbed as soon as they made contact.

"Ugh!"

"Isn't anything interesting happening?"

ROOK glanced coldly at the nearly unconscious Akane, then turned his gaze back to Aso Yuri.

"asshole……"

Aso Yuri gritted her teeth and prepared to activate the fist weapon certification, but she was still a step too slow. Before she could even touch the fist weapon switch, her body was slapped away by ROOK, and the fist weapon in her hand was also thrown away.

boom!

"Yuri!"

Akane also struggled to her feet, panting as she quickly rolled over to grab the fallen ixa punch, fired an impact shot to force ROOK back, and then followed suit by pressing it directly into her palm.

"You're not allowed to hurt Yuri! Heal!"

"Ready!"

"Fi-stOn!"

As the fist gun was inserted into the belt, a half-cross halo of light appeared and spun, expanding and condensing into an armor phantom before falling upside down onto Akane Otoya.

"Is this the IXA? It's really amazing!"

Akane felt an inexhaustible surge of energy throughout her body and clenched her fingers, pointing at ROOK.

"I'll settle this with this. I'll avenge Youli!"

"snort."

ROOK blocked ixa's kick with his bare hands. During the brief struggle, he coldly transformed into a lion-toothed vampire and suddenly punched ixa in the abdomen.

"Bang bang bang!"

After delivering the final punch that sent Ixa flying, ROOK suddenly unleashed a series of sharp spikes from his wrists, like machine gun fire, causing continuous explosions that forced Akane out of her transformed state.

"Well!"

"boring."

Lion Fang Blood Demon stretched his shoulders, transformed back into human form ROOK, glanced at Akane Otoya, and then turned and walked away.

"Otoya!"

Yuri Aso finally recovered and, seeing ROOK leave, rushed to the side of the struggling Otoya.

The intense attack, combined with the side effects of ixa, left Akane completely unable to stand up, like a boiled lobster, her face covered in cold sweat from the excruciating muscle spasms.

"Hang in there, I'll call an ambulance right away!"

"See that?"

Near the scene, Ci Lang walked to Xia Chuan's side in a low voice.

"ROOK is not someone you can easily deal with. He's not even in the same league. The difference in strength is huge. Only by cooperating can we have a chance to eliminate him."

Xia Chuan calmly gazed at ROOK's retreating figure.

Its combat strength appears to be similar to that of a Grongi of the Ge level. It has excellent defense and strength, and can also launch long-range attacks with sharp, spiky claws.

However, as one of the four executives, such strength still seems insufficient.

Although he is called one of the four cadres, for him, the only truly formidable enemy in this world is perhaps the King of the Fang Blood Demons.

This generation's king far surpasses other vampires, and seems to be able to reclaim the queen's power, as well as wield life and death over his subordinates.

It was also strange that the other cadres were with Wang.

Damn it, my sleep schedule is a complete mess.
