Chapter 223 Kaito Toma
The colossal beasts set out with earth-shaking strides, moving from forests to plains, traversing different terrains towards a single goal.
The sight of multiple giant beasts traveling together is quite unusual, but if it involves otherworldly monsters, then it's enough to explain why the giant beasts would choose to cooperate.
As they approached the target's location, those who had arrived earlier sent a signal, and the giant beast obeyed, hiding behind a cliff and awaiting the humans' order to attack.
"How many monsters have come to provide support this time?"
“A Komodo tiger, two snake dragons, and a golden eagle demon waiting in the air in the distance.”
"Make sure the monsters block all escape routes. We absolutely cannot let this otherworldly monster get away."
After the order was given, the atmosphere around the lake became quiet. There was no wind or grass, no animal calls or bird songs. The sunlight shone directly on the lake surface, making the whole surface peaceful.
King Gesra, hiding in the water, did not sense any strange movements on the surface. When it surfaced, it did not see any other monsters. It seemed that today was a good day.
After days of tense escape, it finally had a chance to rest. With Grandi nowhere to go, it had no choice but to seek a place to stay in this strange world.
King Gesra couldn't understand why those humans were relentlessly pursuing him. He hadn't done anything to them; the idea of fusing monsters was Grandi's. Why weren't those humans going after Grandi, but instead coming after him?
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. So King Gesra simply returned to the bottom of the lake to rest. After he had driven away the monster in the lake, this place was his own territory, where he could do whatever he wanted and sleep whenever he wanted.
"Ugh, how long are we going to have to wait? I haven't had a good night's sleep since we came to this desolate place early this morning."
“You’re on a mission, so be serious! If you keep slacking off, you won’t be able to escape when the otherworldly monsters come out.”
"Whether I'm relaxed or serious doesn't affect the mission. The most important thing is whether the plan from above will work, right? By the way, how come the guild is suddenly so confident in launching a preemptive attack on the otherworldly monster? What idea has the guild leader come up with this time?"
"This time it wasn't the guild leader who gave guidance, but another expert who is from another world."
The mages, lying in wait, kept a close watch on the lake's movements. Before receiving orders from their superiors, they remained in place, ready to activate the barrier to isolate the otherworldly monster when it appeared.
This otherworldly monster is a venomous fish that has been specially trained by Grandi and should not be underestimated. The otherworldly monster that attacked Haiyun before was able to suppress the Light Stone Warrior head-on, so we cannot be careless in dealing with them.
Without targeting the weaknesses of the otherworldly monsters, it would be difficult for the Magician's Guild to win. However, the monsters Grandi summoned this time are all new faces, and it would be difficult for the guild to find a way to counter them on its own.
"An otherworldly being? How dare the guild use someone from another world? I heard that the one who stirred up trouble in Wolf's Den was an otherworldly being, and Grandy is one too. Isn't the guild leader afraid of getting into trouble?"
"This otherworldly being is different from Grandy and the others. He comes from the same place as the heroes, and I heard he's a senior to Ultraman Zeta. He's been secretly helping us all along. I think his name is..."
The sun was nearing its highest point in the sky; it was already noon. The Mage Guild had all its preparations complete and was just waiting for the order to launch a full-scale attack.
"Mr. Higashima Kaito, is there anything else you need?"
"No, you have done enough for yourselves. Now it's time to see the results."
The man standing in the sunlight, unafraid of the otherworldly monster, was the expert the Mage Guild was relying on this time. He had a face different from that of humans in this world, and was somewhat similar to Haruki, but in terms of temperament, he was more composed and calm than Haruki.
Kaito Toma, in his human form, has a mature and refined face that has lost the youthful freshness of his younger days. However, the unwavering sense of justice in his eyes has not weakened with the passage of time; instead, it has become sharper, more agile, and perfectly balanced.
"Next, I will lure out King Gesra. You will be responsible for providing support. Remember, make sure the monsters avoid close combat with him and attack King Gesra's dorsal fins from a distance."
"Understood, I will follow the instructions of my seniors."
Kaito walked ahead to the sandy shore of the lake, raised his right hand high and summoned light into the universe, which condensed into the Max Spark in his hand.
With Ultraman's super energy fully charged, Kaito located King Gesra at the bottom of the lake, flicked his spark and launched it into the sky. A silver flash appeared in the sunlight and hurtled straight to the bottom of the lake.
The turmoil beneath the lake's surface remains unknown, but the surface is already churning with activity. Realizing that an otherworldly monster is about to appear, the Magicians' Guild has preemptively erected a barrier, enveloping the entire lake.
All the waiting monsters were mobilized, blocking all escape routes on the lake shore and leaving the otherworldly monsters no chance to escape.
Startled by the sudden attack, King Gesra fled from the water, swinging its huge green-skinned body toward the shore, trying to escape the Ultra Dart chasing after it, even though it was unharmed.
A silver flash emerged from the lake, returned to Kaito's hand, and dissipated into a ball of light. The next mission would depend on the performance of the Magicians' Guild. It was a rare sight for Kaito to see cooperation between humans and monsters.
"An otherworldly monster has appeared! Focus your firepower on its dorsal fin!"
Upon receiving the order, all members immediately caused the magic array to erupt with intense heat, and light suddenly appeared around the ground where King Gesra had landed, freezing the water-covered behemoth and rendering King Gesra unable to move his limbs for a short period of time.
The serpent-like dragon charged up its breath and released waves of heat in the air. The two serpent-like dragons attacked the otherworldly monster from both sides, while simultaneously bombarding the protruding part of King Gesra's back, burning the flesh and blood at the base of its dorsal fin.
King Gesra was suddenly awakened from his sleep by an Ultra Dart. His mind was in chaos. He had just escaped the dart's attack when he was frozen in place. Before he could even see what was going on around him, a breath from behind severely damaged King Gesra's nerves.
The excruciating pain extending from the dorsal fin to the rest of its body rendered King Gesra incapable of thinking clearly. In its desperate act of resistance, it unleashed a barrage of poisonous stimuli from its entire body, creating a rain of venomous arrows that forced all living beings to retreat and take cover.
The burning sensation on his dorsal fin still lingered, but he had to seize the opportunity to escape. King Gesra pulled his limbs out of the ice and ran in one direction without looking back.
No matter where King Glass fled, the Magicians' Guild was prepared in advance. The Komodo tiger emerged from its hiding place, its tiger-like appearance intimidating the beast.
With its head held high and roaring, the Komodo tiger poured all its roars into King Gesra, causing the already mentally broken King Gesra to break down even further and suffer more pain. King Gesra, which was directly injured, coughed up blood and was unable to move due to internal injuries.
King Gesra, still convulsing on the ground, dragged the giant beast's body to the side with his weak limbs, knowing he absolutely could not fall into the hands of the Mage Guild, who would surely make him wish he were dead.
Just as Grandi had once told it, just as it had once seen in the monstrous resentment of the sea cloud.
"Alright, the time has come, go and make the arrest."
"Wait, this isn't over yet."
"What's wrong, Mr. Kaito? The otherworldly monster is clearly incapable of fighting, so what's there to worry about?"
"What you should be worried about is not the monsters on the ground, but the threat from the sky."
Kaito Touma's words suddenly alerted the magicians. Could it be that there was an otherworldly monster hiding in this place?
"Report: A flying object is approaching the lake at a very high speed."
"Is it an otherworldly monster?"
"No...it seems to be...Zeta."
"Hehehe, all of you get out of my way! That's the guy I've got my eye on!"
