Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 626 D-Rank Royal Bee

"Is it a meteorite?"

Unaware of Fujiwara's unusual behavior, his teammates were all drawn to the shell-like luminous object in the ravine.

Judging from the surrounding traces, the luminous object was a meteorite that fell here a week ago.

Hiroko Asami lowered her body and searched around but couldn't find any trace of the Alliance team. Instead, she saw many fleshy monsters floating around the meteorite like bees.

In addition, there were the villagers who chased after them at dusk.

Like harvesting fruit, the villagers all gathered in front of the meteorite crater, collapsing one after another, seemingly exhausted and listless.

One could vaguely see beams of light flying out from the villagers and then merging into the meteorite.

"That rock was absorbing energy, which is why it didn't kill the villagers."

"But what's with all this fog?"

"The fog is the real parasitic life form," Fujiwara Saiji said, pale-faced and clutching his neck, "because I think I accidentally inhaled some fog at that time!"

"Fujiwara? You..."

Onoue's eyes narrowed sharply as he vaguely saw the fleshy growth wriggling between Fujiwara's two fingers.

"You've been parasitized?!"

"Hurry up!"

Fujiwara Saiji looked bitterly at the white mist that had gathered again in the surrounding mountains and forests.

"We have no way to deal with this thing; we might be wiped out."

"At least they have some self-awareness."

The alliance team members emerged directly from the white mist, fully armed with battle armor, forming a fan shape to block the knights' retreat.

"You dared to come here knowing nothing? Are you stupid or just plain stupid? I think you'd better leave the instance as soon as possible. Only our alliance can truly save this world."

"It really was you guys!"

Eimu Hosho's gaze was shaken.

"Why weren't you attacked? This fog..."

"This is the ultimate armor developed by the Alliance based on data from the previous shuttle," the squinting youth said, opening the armor's visor and laughing without any hesitation. "Besides entering new dungeons, its main function is the attached control system, which can capture and control dungeon monsters."

"Captain, why bother talking to them so much?" The unicorn-armored alien following closely behind the squinting youth crossed his arms and looked down at them condescendingly. "What use would a bunch of lowly life forms be in the Light Dungeon? Joining the Alliance is your best option..."

"The league isn't any better!"

Fujiwara Saiji found it increasingly difficult to breathe. He forced himself to endure the dizziness, grabbed the Royal Bee Insect Device, embedded it into his transformation bracelet, and let out a series of low growls.

"Transform!"

"Fujiwara..."

Onoue Takumi wanted to help, but was stopped by Fujiwara Saiji, who was covered in armor.

"Never mind me! Let's go back and find Mr. Shinjo!"

"Fujiwara!"

Hiroko Asami shouted sharply to stop the Royal Bees who were heading towards the League team.

"Come back here! We can discuss any problems back there!"

"There's no going back."

Fujiwara Saiji's shoulders trembled as he violently shed his armor to block the thick fog and the countless parasitic tumors flying up.

"Hurry up, I'm about to lose control!"

"Walk!"

Before Asami Hiroko and the others could make a move, Fujiwara Saiji lowered his head, exchanged for a teleportation card, and summoned the Aurora Veil to teleport his teammates away, leaving himself alone to continue facing the new alliance team.

"Do you think you can get away?" The unicorn alien coldly tried to give chase, but was stopped by the squinting youth. "Captain! They..."

The squinting youth calmly said, "It's alright. Telling them about the armor is General Mefilas's order. Our most important task now is to upgrade this monster to A-rank. One village is far from enough."

"And what about him?" Unicorn Alien turned to Fujiwara Saiji Royal Bee.

"It's nothing to mention. It can't even withstand a little bit of parasitism. I overestimated it."

The squinting youth didn't even look closely before leading his team away.

"waste."

"call!"

Fujiwara Saiji watched as the new alliance team members left one after another, but he no longer felt angry.

Despite being in a transformed state, the parasitic growth on its body could not be stopped.

With his vision blurred, Fujiwara Saiji finally couldn't hold on any longer. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. The Royal Bee Armor automatically disintegrated, and even the Insect Device seemed to lose its power and fell to the side.

The tumor on his neck had swelled to the point where it could no longer be concealed, resembling a scarf made of a bunch of alveolar lumps. To outsiders, he must look terrifying now.

Fortunately, his teammates left in advance, so we won't see him like this for now.

"Whoosh!"

Fujiwara Saiji closed his eyes helplessly, his mind filled with images of the villagers he had seen before.

Soon he too would become a puppet like those villagers. If he was lucky, he might have a chance to be rescued; if he was unlucky…

In that instant, Fujiwara Saiji thought of many things, and even almost shot himself in the head.

In fact, he has never wanted to accept the version of himself from his memories.

As the new league team said, his time with the Cavaliers was a tragedy.

Whether it was the Fujiwara Foundation or the team he later painstakingly built, in the end, they all became a joke.

Perhaps he shouldn't have awakened his knight memories.

Even now, in this new era, he is still the weakest one.

This is him...

Fujiwara Saiji turned to look at the royal bee insect device beside his finger, the light in his eyes dimming further, but in a daze, he saw Natsukawa's shadow on the insect device.

"tutor?"

Scratching his fingers, Fujiwara Saiji once again recalled the initial scene of Natsukawa's transformation into the Royal Bee.

It is said that Royal Bee was the first Kamen Rider that Natsukawa transformed into.

Perhaps there was a reason why he obtained the Royal Bee System in the new era.

The memories of the past are not all tragedies.

From that moment on, his goal changed from catching up with his brother to becoming a hero.

It was from that moment that he wanted to become a real Kamen Rider.

"I am Fujiwara Saiji, the Queen Bee Fujiwara Saiji."

"Hmm!"

Fujiwara clenched his fists, gripped the royal bee insect device, and struggled to sit up. He held the parasitic tumor in one hand and aimed the tail of the device at his neck with the other.

"Boom—!"

In the dead of night, dark clouds suddenly gathered over the mountainous area near the observation center. Amidst thunder and lightning, a torrential downpour began, and all the spreading white mist seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, hastily retreating back towards the meteorite.

The parasitic tumors that remained outside were shrouded in torrential rain, withering and falling to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot, and the villagers gathered in the mountain valley also fell out of control.

"What happened?"

The newly formed alliance team, who had just begun preparing to move the meteorite, stood bewildered in the rain.

The unicorn alien grabbed a handful of rainwater, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise and turned to look at the forest at the edge of the ravine.

A bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the dark gold knight's armor, which was also being washed by the rain.

King bee?

"Crack!"

Feiyan-1, Xincheng manually piloted the fighter jet back to the mountains, only to discover that the luminous meteorite in the ravine had almost been struck by lightning.

"How did the weather change so suddenly? Is it related to the monsters in the mountains?"

Since it was already an area with strong radio interference, Xincheng could only choose to circle around it. He muttered a question but did not receive a response from Xia Chuan.

"Lypia?"

"call!"

The projection of Natsukawa descended into the mountain valley, quietly watching Fujiwara's second queen bee, whose aura was bursting forth at the edge of the cliff.

He has been keeping an eye on this area.

Unexpectedly, Fujiwara Saiji became a 6th-rank knight at this time, and was promoted to D-rank as a result.

Fujiwara Saiji's achievement of reaching level 6 solely through the Royal Bee System was truly beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that Fujiwara was the most difficult to improve.

What exactly happened?

Xia Chuan focused his consciousness on the data panel.

In his classification system, level 6 has the potential to become a level D life form, while A+ starts at level 1, and he previously had nearly 2.

When Fujiwara Saiji was promoted to D-rank, he seemed to have increased by about 100, just reaching 2.

The feedback is approximately 100 times greater.

"Whoosh!"

Under the lightning, the Royal Bee stood like a cold sculpture until it picked up a Decade card between its raised fingers, finally drawing the attention of the New Alliance team.

"What's wrong with this kid? He suddenly leveled up!"

"So what if it's D-grade? Trash is trash!"

The one-horned alien roared and charged forward without regard for his teammates' reactions. With superhuman strength, he leaped high into the air, his armor mask closing in mid-air, and he slammed down on the royal bee like a giant ape.

"The obsolete Knight System..."

"CLOCK UP!"

"CLOCK OVER!"

"Bang--!"

The royal bee swayed and completed its attack in an instant. The unicorn alien didn't even land before being shot back with a large amount of electricity.

Not only did the force field that broke the time-lapse mechanism fail to function, but even its own second-generation armor seemed to have been replaced, unable to withstand the Royal Bee's ultimate attack. Not only did the armor crack, but the system also became completely unresponsive.

"How is this possible?" The unicorn alien vanished in shock and anger amidst the raging flames. "You shouldn't be able to use Time Ascension, and you still have this power..."

"The knights aren't as bad as you think."

Fujiwara Saiji watched with heartache as the light spots between his fingers dissipated from the Decade card.

It took a whole card to deal with this guy; I thought it was a fixed usage time.

With the teleportation card and this Decade card, my points have dropped back to single digits.

The most troublesome thing is that there is more than one enemy.

Why did he have to show off? He got carried away.
