Knight Asylum

Just as Baluba opened her mouth to say something, the sound of heavy propellers and a cold wind swept over. Dozens of armed helicopters with the Ouroboros logo blocked the sunlight, and their cold gun muzzles were pointed at Gamego.

"You should go—"

Gamego raised his hand, tugged at his tie, and looked up at the armed helicopters that surrounded him, grinning with a fearless smile. Behind Gamego, Baluba sighed softly, turned around and disappeared among the flying roses.

"Fire, fire!"

Without the captain's orders, everyone's nerves had already been stretched to the limit. The captain's terrified roar completely broke their nerves. Everyone roared and pulled the trigger hard. The specially made nerve-breaking sniper bullet turned into a torrent of hot metal and roared towards Gamego.

Gamego didn't even move, allowing the torrent of metal to swallow him up. The impact was visible to the naked eye, and countless pieces of glass shattered in an instant and scattered to the ground. The pungent smoke and dust poured out and were immediately torn apart by the torrent that followed. Everyone did not dare to let go and kept pulling the trigger even though their arms were numb from the shock.

Their shooting lasted for a full fifteen minutes, and even the special gun barrels took on a strange red color, as if they would explode at any time. Under their violent output, thick black smoke rose from the top of the Royal Building, like a volcano about to erupt.

A drop of cold sweat flowed down the forehead of the captain of the reception team. The excessive pressure made him unable to control and reveal a twisted smile.

Neurotomy bullets are one of the secret weapons that humans have prepared to destroy monsters from the inside in order to fight against monsters that crush humans in all aspects. Neurotomy sniper bullets are a specialization of them. Even Servius Tullia's sponsors cannot mobilize too many at a time. Their power is so great that one shot can kill an ordinary monster, and the neurotomy bullet itself does not even need the effect of destroying tissue. Moreover, everyone present is a specially trained personnel, and even in the case of indiscriminate bombing, it can be guaranteed that no bullet will hit anywhere other than the target.

It is no exaggeration to say that this round of attack is the limit of what humans can do now. At most, we can add a few more rounds of shooting. But it has come to this point, and a few more rounds of shooting are just better than nothing.

"Even if you are qualified, it is impossible to survive such an attack!"

The cold and fierce wind tore through the black smoke, and the dazzling light shone into everyone's eyes. The indescribable shock even suppressed their physical instincts. Everyone stared blankly at the bottom. Under the dazzling sunlight, the behemoth covered in heavy armor raised its body, and all the neuron-disrupting sniper bullets were frozen in mid-air.

A golden light flowed by, and all the nerve-breaking sniper bullets transformed into crossbow arrows aimed at the armed helicopter.

“Oh… God—”

The captain of the containment team murmured.

Countless golden streams of light swept out with Gamego as the center, and all the armed helicopters were pierced and destroyed in an instant.

White air gushed out from the heavy armor.

Gamego looked down at the entire [S·L] with his back to the setting sun.

"After sunset, before sunrise, raze [S·L] to the ground."

----

Even though the conversation spanned a thousand years, Red didn't feel a bit out of place, or even felt like he was looking at a blurry mirror.

Facing this hero who had single-handedly defeated and sealed more than two hundred Gurongis in the past, Red felt a little restrained. He didn't know what U was thinking. Was he asking this hero from a thousand years ago to learn how to control Kuuga's power?

But the Aguru on him is different from the belt on Rick, so he could go out of control at any time. What's more, Gamego killed him with one blow after he went out of control.

"Feel sorry--"

Red was stunned and looked at Rick in disbelief.

"If I had killed them all a thousand years ago, this wouldn't have happened. If I hadn't told you about the existence of the Dark Coffin, you wouldn't have experienced all this."

"No one has the right to ask a hero to be stained with blood," Red put his hands on his hips and sighed. "No matter how much you regret what has happened, it is impossible to change it. You can only look forward. There will always be someone who wears this belt. At least I wear this belt of my own will."

"Now I just want to do my best to stop Gamego."

Red paused, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head hard.

"Although I have already failed once in a very embarrassing way, I still want to give it a try. I can't just stand by and watch..."

"Stop? Are you...sympathizing with Gamego?"

Rick's question made Red's breath hitch. Facing the real Kuuga in front of him, Red was silent for a while and then nodded, "I know about them."

"Gamego has taken many lives, and now he will take more lives. Even so, do you still sympathize with Gamego?"

Red recalled the heroic smile on Gamego's face when he put out all his chips and asked him to put his chips on the line.

"It's terrible, isn't it?"

"No... This is a good thing. It shows that there is pure kindness in your heart. It is not a bad thing to sympathize with someone. That kindness can help you not be swallowed by darkness."

"But I've already lost control once," Reid couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Not to mention the first time, he was certain that the second time, he was completely swallowed up by the darkness. He couldn't even tell who he was and became an irrational beast. The emotions that swarmed over him were too terrifying.

He was always afraid of losing control and kept suppressing his emotions, but he still failed.

"That power, the ultimate power, is not something you can't control. You need to adjust your mindset. You can't be afraid of it."

"What kind of attitude Kuuga takes is determined by your heart."

A little light appeared in Rick's empty eyes.

"remember--"

Chapter 63 Afterglow Part 5

As the sun sets, the white clouds drifting in the wind turn red as if they were ignited by the sun.

Gamego stood on the rooftop of the Casino Royale building, with his back to the sun that was sinking toward the horizon, his eyes glowing with a cold and cruel golden color.

"time up--"

"Boom boom boom——"

The sound of heavy propellers was heard, and an armed helicopter hovered over the Royal Casino Building. The hatch opened, and Red held the hatch and faced Gamego's eyes against the cold wind.

The pilot stared at Gamego standing on the rooftop nervously, holding the joystick tightly with both hands, "Sorry! I can't lower the altitude any further!"

"Thank you."

Red raised his hand and gave the driver a thumbs up, then leaned forward and jumped down, with Aguru appearing around his waist.

"boom--"

Gamego let out a long breath and turned to face the smoke rising in the center of the rooftop.

"Like I said, I'm not so low as to fight with a scared kid waving his fists around."

The surging smoke and dust were wiped away by the strong wind. Red stood up and looked at Gamego. The spirit stone in the middle of Yaguru seemed to be ignited by the afterglow of the sun like the clouds in the sky, showing the color of a fiery cloud.

"I'm not here to sympathize with you."

"I'm not here to understand you."

Why should you be afraid of the belt you wear?

Because of the hysteria, the fear of destroying the Gurongis even if it means dragging all lives into darkness.

The earth burned by flames appeared in Red's sight again. The dry scorched bodies moved, stretched out their hands to grab Red's body, and murmured hoarsely as if they were cursing something, as if they wanted Red to become a part of them.

Why should we be afraid of them?

This belt, no matter what, was born to protect someone, it was the afterglow left by those who burned to protect someone, and now, this power is in his hands.

Now, he could understand the whispers.

【Fight, must fight! 】

【I want to protect our family! 】

[Even if this life burns out! ]

Reid twisted his body and took a stance. His black eyes, reflecting the fiery clouds, showed Gamego's appearance very clearly. With Aguru as the center, a soft light swept out, and the flesh and blood began to transform. The golden horns forked upwards, the silver fangs clenched, and the burning red body seemed to come from a raging fire.

"Red!!!" Gamego's eyes widened slightly, his fingers slowly opened, and a crisp popping sound came from between his bones.

However, the scorching red color only lasted for a moment before it was swallowed up by darkness in the jumping golden arcs. Sharp barbs extended from the joints, and all the outward-emitting golden arcs were pulled into the dark body and transformed into marks of power.

In the underground containment area of ​​​​Selvi Turia, U and the metal coffin containing Rick stared at the holographic image in front of them side by side.

"The original Agul can't maintain the appearance of a Fire Warrior," Riku sighed, "The original belt can only transform the wearer into an Ultimate Kuuga."

"It would be nice if he could wear the finished Yaguru?" U raised his eyebrows slightly.

"No - it's not necessary anymore. I don't have to fight this time."

The sun was completely swallowed by the horizon, and darkness swallowed up all the afterglow in the sky, but left a little above the earth.

The sharp barbs turned into crimson armor, and as the air waves blew out, the flaming hem fluttered in the wind.

No longer a body of darkness from nightmares, nor a body of blazing fire, but the embodiment of the afterglow cast on the white clouds as the sun sets.

Hope and darkness go hand in hand.

Ultimate Kuuga - Afterglow Sublimation Form

"I'm... here to fight you!"

The man in military uniform who was walking on the deserted street paused, the ground cracked, and the man's sharp but empty eyes gradually solidified. The woman with glasses, lying on a special restraint bed in a mental hospital, suddenly opened her eyes, sat on the recliner, staring at a group of old people in front of her with lifeless eyes. The man suddenly twisted his head, stood up, and his muscles began to bulge.

"Happy birthday!!!"

Countless can birds flew up and formed a huge holographic image in the air. Mitsuo Hongo opened his hands and behind him was a huge five-layer birthday cake.

"Red Leonardo!"

"It is your feelings that have elevated Kuuga's power! The ultimate power has been tinged with your color! It now belongs to you!"

"Come on! The stage of history is ready! Let's fight!"

Gamego looked at the Ultimate Kuuga in the afterglow sublimation form in front of him and suddenly laughed out loud. His laughter got louder and louder, and his body transformed into a monster form.

“Really? Really! That’s what’s going on! Can I finally become a Goliath? Come on, Red Leonardo! Kuuga! Defeat me! I will end everything for myself in a way that fate cannot decide!”

Amid Gamego's roar, the entire Royal Casino building became the center of a hurricane. The cold wind rushed into the silent casino and was pushed into a corner by the dealer. If it weren't for Yamato Hidenari's intrusion, the gambling table that should have decided everything was shaking in the wind, and Gamego's five cards flew up.

AKJQ10 of spades is still an unbeatable royal flush, but Reed's five cards are also revealed, AKJQ10 of hearts, also a royal flush. This is a game that even fate cannot determine who will win.

"No, you are Ge Gamego Le—just Ge Gamego Le!" Reid lowered his body, and Gamego's figure was reflected in his eyes like fiery clouds.

Gamego's laughter paused, and golden arcs of light flickered on his body. The tortoise shell-like decorations on his back multiplied and transformed into heavy golden armor in the golden arcs of light, covering Gamego's body, and a visor like a crown fell down.

"I'm sorry - I said something that ruined the mood. I take back everything I said before. Fighting you is not depravity. You are definitely not a scared kid who waves his fists around. Decision made!"

Two straight rays of light tore through the hurricane.

The fist of afterglow and the huge fist covered with golden heavy armor intersected in the center of the rooftop of the Royal Casino Building, and Gamego roared in great excitement.

"I'll kill you before the sun rises! I'll promote the En Group and defeat Daguba to become the king of the modern era!"

The golden heavy armor on Gamego's right arm was pulled back like a pile driver, accompanied by a burst of hot white gas, and the heavy armor smashed down, bringing with it circles of white sound barriers, and even the space was distorted in the impact. Half of the Royal Casino Building was shattered in an instant, but Red was no longer in place. With the power of Gamego's fist, he turned around and jumped up to elbow Gamego's head.

With Gamego as the center, the explosive impact split the entire Casino Royale building into two like a divine sword. However, Gamego, who bore the horrific force head-on, raised his head and looked at Red as if nothing had happened.

"It looks like you really want to defeat me, but!"

Gamego grabbed Red's legs and threw him out. Another sound barrier blasted out, and Red slammed heavily into the department store. A huge circular hole radiated out from Red as the center. The department store collapsed on the spot, but Red's body did not stop there. He crashed through five buildings in a row before falling to the ground and plowing a huge gap.

"That's just -- it's not enough."

Gamego fell heavily to the ground, and the Casino Royale building behind him collapsed completely.

Chapter 64: Afterglow Part 6

In the Selvi Turia control tower, all the communicators covered their ears and lowered their heads, looking as if they were seeking shelter.

Because of Gamego?

No, not even Gamego would scare them like this. They have tried their best and died with dignity. Only a crazy woman could scare them like this.

“Hahahaha——Did you see it! Ember, did you see it! That’s Kuuga! The Kuuga that doesn’t exist in the records! And that form of Gamego! There’s no doubt about it! That’s the Ultimate Power! The complete Ultimate Power!”

Seleu grabbed Enbe's collar with both hands and shook him back and forth vigorously.

"I know, I know! Don't touch me!" Enbe pushed Seleu away, took several steps back, held onto the wall and took several breaths before he recovered. He looked at the brand new Kuuga who crawled out of the ground with a shocked face.

"Incredible..."

“That’s right! Incredible! No! It’s simply genius! Since we can’t control the power of Ultimate Kuuga, we can just use Ultimate Kuuga as the base form and strengthen it further!” Seleu scratched his already messy hair and excitedly speculated on the reason for the formation of this form, “If you want to learn to walk, run first!”

"Hey, hey, hey - please don't say something that will make him lose control again, okay!" Qiao couldn't help but protest loudly.

But Seleucus ignored Qiao's protest and sat back in his seat, staring at the screen. On the screen, Gamego and Red met again and started a horrific fight.

In terms of size alone, Gamego has an overwhelming advantage, as if he can crush Red at any time, but what is incredible is that Red has demonstrated a terrifying fighting ability that is no weaker than Gamego's. He accurately dodges all attacks that can be avoided, and each of his punches takes away the surrounding air to create a fatal vacuum zone. If it had not been processed by special machines, the eardrums of all of them might have ruptured when Red and Gamego fought for the first time.

"Red's fighting ability... has become stronger," Enbei said with some concern, "Is this still him?"

Extreme joy will lead to sadness. Someone always has to face and deal with things in front of him with a pessimistic attitude. Red successfully sublimated the uncontrollable Ultimate Kuuga and Gamego. He was indeed very happy, but after just a few confrontations, the six buildings said goodbye, and the battle between Gamego and Red... seemed to have just begun.

At this moment, all the screens in the command tower were occupied by badges of different sponsors.

"Selvi Turia, more than half of the funders have agreed to open all permissions to carry out the final fall in the area with a radius of five kilometers centered on the Royal Casino Building," the badge representing the Tower of Sages lit up.

"Final Fall!?"

After a moment of shock, Enbei shouted in disbelief.
