"Holy shit!"
"What was that!?"
Light wheel flew skyward. Split massive ferocious snake head in two. This sudden scene—fell in blonde Traveler's eyes. Made him completely confused about situation.
"That guy... what's his background?"
Nearby brown-haired Traveler also noticed figure appearing before Kaiju Kafka. Frowned. Recalled opponent's many suspicious points.
Originally—they thought this guy was rookie among Travelers. First to expose himself before everyone. Such operation—needed serious brain damage to execute.
But opponent actually made Defense Force cancel wanted notice. Even seeing this Defense Force Suit—confirmed this guy got recruited by Defense Force.
Now even blocked attack Kaiju No. 8 couldn't stop. This... seemed off.
"Hey—doesn't that light wheel look familiar?" Blonde Traveler crawled to brown-haired Traveler. Hand trembling—pointed at split snake head. Asked incredulously.
"Familiar?"
"What?" Brown-haired Traveler puzzled.
"Eight-Section Light Wheel!"
"This... why does this look so much like Eight-Section Light Wheel?" Blonde Traveler stammered. Seemed unwilling to believe this fact.
"You mean Ultraman's skill?" Brown-haired Traveler also made connection.
"Impossible."
"This is Kaiju No. 8's world. How could Ultraman appear... moreover—which Ultraman lets human host create Eight-Section Light Wheel?"
"Can't judge just because appearance similar." Brown-haired Traveler analyzed logically. "This guy—maybe like Kafka Hibino—fused with some kaiju to gain such power."
"That... makes sense." Blonde Traveler—after hearing—nodded thoughtfully.
"Moreover—if really Ultraman-type thing appeared in our world—after opponent caused massive historical changes—we could apply for adjudication measures." Brown-haired Traveler now hoped opponent was truly Ultraman.
For them—this world equivalent to punishment world. Ten people—only two survive.
After adjudication passed—mission terminated. They'd be arranged to next punishment world... but at least had probability of restarting. Hard to encounter unluckier opening than this world.
"But regardless—opponent's actions show he's on human faction side."
"One more strong ally—completely good for us."
Brown-haired Traveler still implementing their core strategy. Survive. Stick near strong allies. Wait until other Travelers eliminated—then emerge.
"But... what if he can't solve kaiju?"
"Won't we suffer together?" Blonde Traveler asked. That kaiju's one head severed—seemed not much affected.
"We'll deal with that when it comes."
CRACK!
"Now our primary mission... is survive!" Brown-haired Traveler looked up—saw thunder strike down. Hurriedly rolled sideways. Crawled—dodged this strike.
"Really... gods fight—mortals suffer." Looking back at scorched crater—he felt heart pounding. Couldn't help complaining.
"Natsuki-san!"
Reno crossed ruins buildings. Held heavy firearm. Ran toward Kaiju Kafka's attacked position. He also recognized Natsuki's intervention.
"Unexpected... truly unexpected."
Natsuki—after throwing light wheel—still maintained ring barrier. But current expression—like pondering something.
"Eh? What's wrong?" Kaiju Kafka—hearing this—confused.
"Nothing."
"That bone dragon—I'll leave to you. I'll go chop those serpents." After four-direction beam attacks stopped—Natsuki removed barrier. Casually shouldered giant sword. Told Kaiju Kafka.
He truly didn't expect—this time would encounter pleasant surprise.
"Got it!" Kaiju Kafka nodded.
Since Natsuki-san said he'd personally handle those serpents—then had absolute confidence. He just needed to eliminate that bone dragon.
"Ichikawa, Mina—let's finish this quickly!" Kaiju Kafka left Natsuki's back. Came to ammunition-reloading Mina's side.
He could sense—that continuously-reassembling bone dragon—power became stronger.
"Yes, Senpai!" Reno also reached their side. Together faced this massive kaiju.
"This time... need you to clear path for me." Mina—carrying sniper cannon—watched bone dragon flying mid-air summoning skeleton kaiju. Told nearby Kaiju Kafka.
Hearing this—Kafka's mouth corner unconsciously rose. Fist and palm struck together at chest.
"Of course. Teammates need coordination."
Like now—standing on blazing battlefield. With trustworthy teammates—facing powerful kaiju together. Fighting to protect others. Exactly his countless dream scenarios.
Today—he personally grasped his dream!
Absolutely—must protect everyone here!
"Let's go!" He shouted passionately. Then legs powered. Entire person—like cannonball—charged out.
BOOM!!
Original position—cracked. Reno and Mina also simultaneously attacked from two directions.
Kaiju Kafka directly broke into skeleton kaiju formation. Collision force alone—sent them batch-flying skyward. Reno seized opportunity. Raised firearm. Deep breath—pulled trigger. Precise finishing blow.
BANG!! Mina also aimed at mid-air bone dragon. Energy blast—in battlefield-echoing explosion—erupted. Struck opponent's defensive bone shield.
"Full Combat Power Release!"
One strike—couldn't fully break opponent's defense. Mina decisively released full combat power. Green energy formed arcs—burst on surface. Entire person's focus—doubled.
Gaze beneath goggles—exceptionally sharp. No pause. Immediately fired second shot!
BANG!!
Dazzling energy blast crossed sky. Penetrated bone dragon. Shattered bones—carried by impact.
"ROOOAR!"
Bone dragon's head with remaining body—roared. Massive black flame feathers with bone fragments—all fired at Mina. Extremely wide range.
"Not happening!" This moment—Kaiju Kafka already leaped skyward. Right arm swelled. Toward these black feathers and bone fragments—full-force punch!
BOOM!!
One punch—mid-air sonic boom. Force formed larger-range impact. Shattered all attacks.
Then immediately—
BANG!! Mina's third shot—instantly arrived!
