Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 78 lv4

"Whoosh!"

With trembling shoulders, Watari grabbed a fragment. Suddenly, the lifeless Fang Bat III at his waist emitted light, the phantom chains disintegrated, and a glimmer of wisdom appeared.

With his fusion coefficient exceeding 80, Wataru, still grieving, was completely unaware that he had already advanced to a Level 3 Knight.

Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't be happy about it.

Xia Chuan stopped and felt a significant improvement in himself.

Race: human

Lifespan: 35/500

Physique: All Rider Transformation lv4 (↑)

Life level: D (Cosmic being)

Rank: 2 (Super Resilience, Super Speed)

Materials: Kuuga (100), Dark Kiva (100)

Items: Knight Gold Card, Kuuga Card, Golem Card

His physique was directly upgraded to level 4, and he gained an additional "super speed" ability. His Dark Kiva fusion coefficient also reached 100.

"call--!"

Above the abandoned factory, the wind howled and the space fluctuated violently, but just like when they defeated Daguba last time, the strange phenomena returned to calm as soon as they began.

Xia Chuan looked around and then his gaze fell back on the dazed student, Du.

"If you want revenge, I'll be waiting for you."

"rustle."

Wataru slowly raised his head, watching as Natsukawa's dark Kiva figure disappeared outside the factory's dilapidated walls.

As you walk along, the stained glass shards scattered on the ground gradually turn to sand and drift away in the wind, silently telling the story of the horror of the dark Kiva.

The father, who had recovered to his peak Fang Vampire King state, and the mysterious Swallowtail Fang Vampire were almost all instantly killed.

He's simply not a knight of this world.

"That suit, Dark Kiva?" Fang Bat III flew out from his belt, flapping his wings. His voice was grave. "Be careful, Lance. Although we don't know what that guy's purpose is, he'll definitely come after you again in the future."

"Looking for me?" Wataru turned to look at the animated Fang Bat III.

"You are different from your father, but you still have half-Fang Vampire blood in you. Once it awakens..."

"I will not be like my father."

Du shook his head and broke the teeth of the bat in its third life.

"If that day ever comes, I want to fight him fair and square, as a human being."

"Whoosh!"

Streets and alleys.

The Dark Kiva Suit of Natsukawa dissipated, condensing into a Knight Card in his hand along with the Fang Bat II.

I've reached level 4 physique; I wonder what changes will occur if I continue to strengthen it.

The human body is not known for its strength, and even extraterrestrials are no exception.

Given the biological structure here, there must be a limit to enhancement; otherwise, those monsters with human forms wouldn't need to transform.

So.

If it truly reaches its limit, will it subsequently transform into a life form of light?

It seems... no one can give him the answer; he can only figure it out step by step on his own.

Xia Chuan smiled helplessly, and while pondering, he once again noticed his own rank.

Rank seems to be more important than physique, since both super abilities are listed after rank.

However, who exactly defined these information such as life levels and ranks?

These things didn't exist in the Ultraman universe I remember.

……

The street where the incident occurred.

When Fujiwara Daiichi arrived at the scene with his team, Asami Hiroko had already finished the finishing touches.

She was not responsible for the civilians killed in the attack by the bishop, but she was responsible for handling the casualties of the combat troops.

Fujiwara glanced at Asami Hiroko, and frowned slightly when he couldn't find the Rose Woman.

The reason he came back afterward was because he heard that Rose Woman had taken action, and he originally planned to meet her.

But there are more important things to do now.

"Have you found any trace of that Bloodfang Demon?" Fujiwara asked coldly.

"Found it. It's said that it was destroyed by Dark Kiva in a nearby abandoned factory."

Hiroko Asami replied, suppressing her dissatisfaction.

She had dealt with Fujiwara no Daiichi countless times; it could be said that almost all the annoying traits were concentrated in Fujiwara no Daiichi.

He is a typical troublemaker, even one who creates trouble out of nothing, and even now he often urges her to investigate Kuuga.

Despite having a lot of flaws of her own, she always likes to nitpick at other people's mistakes.

That's right, she was reported by Fujiwara Daiichi several times, who actually said that she deliberately concealed Kuuga's information.

I wonder if this guy was beaten up by Kuuga before, he always looks so bitter and resentful.

"Dark Kiva?" Fujiwara's eyebrows twitched.

The second rider to reach the top of the leaderboard is the one he must defeat, besides Kuuga.

At that moment, one of the team members suddenly found Fujiwara Daiichi: "Young Master, it's the Master's phone call."

The Fujiwara family.

Fujiwara Daiichi entered his father's study accompanied by the butler, but still could not see his father. There was only a projected communication screen in the study.

"Father." Fujiwara no Ichi bowed slightly.

"I heard you've been investigating the ghost incident from back then?" the dignified old man with his hair tied up asked, his back to the camera.

Fujiwara's expression trembled slightly, and he continued to keep his head down in silence.

"It seems you've heard some news as well," the dignified old man said, a slight wrinkle appearing at the corner of his eyes. "It's not that there aren't level 5 knights in this world, it's just that all level 5 knights have been sucked into the knight dimension."

"Inhaled?" Fujiwara noichi looked up, his gaze fixed intently. "Father, what do you know?"

"What's so surprising?" The dignified old man said calmly. "Some people are afraid to continue improving their fusion coefficient, which is just being complacent and will eventually be eliminated."

Didn't you ever consider that Kuuga and Dark Kiva might both be returning Level 5 Knights...?

Fujiwara's expression changed again.

He had a deep understanding of Kuuga's strength, and if he were a level 5 knight, it would make perfect sense.

No level 4 knight has yet shown similar performance.

"Father, I..."

"Perhaps a Level 5 knight will return in the future," the dignified old man said as he rose and left the screen. "Fight! First, strive to increase your fusion coefficient. What happened before doesn't matter; in the future, you must be number one!"

"Yes."

……

Several days passed, and the "rat horde" that had swept through Tokyo suddenly came to an abrupt end, with only occasional news of rat-shaped vampires being killed.

Many knights who were just about to make a big splash and earn points all went to the forum to vent their frustrations.

"One good news and one bad news. The good news is that the Tooth Vampire won't keep coming back to life like before. The bad news is that it seems someone has already cleaned things up beforehand."

"Who on earth is such a beast? Clearing out the rats so easily, they must be a level 4 knight, right? Did they have to be so ruthless?"

"I don't think it was done by a level 4 knight. It might be related to the high-level fanged vampire that appeared before."

"I heard Dark Kiva has appeared..."

"call!"

Xia Chuan turned his attention away from the Knights Forum and looked up at Wataru, who was packing his clothes across from him.

"Are you going back?"

"Hmm, I don't think the Fangblood Demon is that easy to deal with. He's probably just hiding temporarily. We can't be careless."

After this incident, Watari seemed to have resolved many of his inner conflicts. He was no longer as silent and aloof as before. He turned back and smiled at Natsukawa as he exhaled.

"And I can't keep bothering my mentor."

"You don't need to worry about things at school. No matter what, I will always be your mentor."

Xia Chuan could see a trace of the Beetle Fang Blood Demon in Watari.

"This can be considered an agreement between your father and me."

"Does your mentor know my father?" Watari paused slightly.

"I only met him once," Xia Chuan said, shaking his head. "He has been watching you and hopes that you can live well as a human."

"Is that so?"

Watari's fingers trembled slightly, and with reddened eyes, she bid farewell to Natsukawa.

"If my supervisor sees my father again, please pass on this message to him: I will not let him down."

"Buzz!"

Just as Natsukawa was thinking of going downstairs for a drink, his phone suddenly vibrated. It was Hiroko Asami calling.

"Kaminaga, are you free now? Let's go buy some household items for Baluba."

"I won't go."
