Magma Seijin looked at the unconscious Leo, feeling everything was within its grasp. It couldn't help but let out a sinister chuckle, its shock of yellow hair quite conspicuous in the pouring rain.
Seven could no longer transform. Now Leo was about to be killed by its own hand, and this planet would also be destroyed by it.
Farewell, Ultraman Leo. Victory still belongs to us, the Magma Clan!
Thinking this, Magma Seijin aimed the spear in its hand at Leo's distinct Ultraman head and thrust it down with force!
Just as the spear was about to hit, a silver, giant hand suddenly grabbed its arm!
What!?
Seven transformed!?
Startled, Magma Seijin turned its head in horror to look beside it. What entered its sight was a silver giant.
The muscle lines all over its body were exceptionally defined, yet the overall figure didn't appear overly bulky.
After just one glance, the next moment Magma Seijin's vision went dark, followed immediately by intense pain in both eyes!
"Kyaa—"
Magma Seijin screamed, throwing its head back, its hands reaching up to cover its eyes.
However, the giant Xia Yan had transformed into didn't stop its assault. After blinding it with the eye jab, its knee followed through with a powerful forward strike!
Crack!
A sound resembling something shattering seemed to echo.
Magma Seijin's body immediately convulsed, its legs forming an inverted 'V' shape, trembling uncontrollably.
That wasn't all. Next, its entire body involuntarily curled up like a shrimp.
"Torā!"
Accompanied by a流氓-like battle cry.
Xia Yan kicked Magma Seijin, sending it flying into the air. Then, the hand gripping its arm yanked it back violently, followed by a powerful shoulder throw slamming it down hard!
The sea surface cratered from the impact. Magma Seijin struggled in the water.
Having completed this combo, Xia Yan, seeing the successful results, immediately intended to press his advantage.
He had no time now to look at what his transformed appearance was like.
But Magma Seijin was, after all, a seasoned alien warrior. It quickly stood up, though its body still swayed somewhat from the beating.
Seeing this, Xia Yan wanted to pounce again, intending to give it no chance to recover.
That earlier combo was the limit of his current martial prowess.
Wild, undisciplined punches weren't an option, and Ultraman beam skills weren't something one was born knowing.
Xia Yan, aware he was still a rookie, understood that surprise attacks were key to defeating enemies.
But Magma Seijin wasn't stupid either. While being attacked earlier, it had already mentally commanded the twin monsters.
Now, seeing Xia Yan wanting to pursue, the panicking Magma Seijin quickly backed away, cursing loudly in its alien language.
Damn it! An Ultraman actually resorting to sneak attacks!
Black Giras and Red Giras now closed in from both sides!
Detecting the twin monsters' attempt to surround him, Xia Yan couldn't help but pause his steps.
As for the alien language Magma Seijin was cursing in—what the hell was that, couldn't understand a word.
It was a shame his fingers were blocked by the mask on its face earlier; otherwise, blinding it would have made the fight easier.
Looking at the two twin monsters beside the enemy, poised to strike at any moment, Xia Yan's heart sank.
He had to find a way to separate the twin monsters; that was the only chance of winning.
But Magma Seijin wouldn't just stand by watching. He couldn't do it alone.
This required... wait, where's Leo!?
He suddenly realized he had come to contain Magma Seijin, but didn't see Leo going to deal with the twin monsters.
Damn it, Gen, why are you just watching!?
Turning to look in the other direction, he immediately spotted Leo still lying on the ground. Xia Yan's face darkened.
Staying alert to the twin monsters, he quickly retreated to Leo's side, trying to wake him by kicking him a couple of times.
Whether Leo was still paralyzed from the electric shock or not, only his chest color timer kept flashing incessantly, with no signs of waking up. Xia Yan mentally cursed. To make matters worse, Magma Seijin seemed to have noticed something.
It was now commanding the twin monsters to wrap their arms around each other and begin spinning slowly.
A dome-shaped energy barrier erupted from the twin monsters' bodies. The large, sickle-like horns on their backs whipped up fierce gusts of wind as they spun at high speed!
Seeing this, Xia Yan grew anxious. The power of the Giras Spin needed no explanation; Seven's broken leg was a precedent.
Looking down at Leo's serene face, he felt a surge of anger.
F*ck...
How can you sleep at a time like this!
Perhaps the two kicks earlier had some effect, as Leo's consciousness gradually began to stir.
But Xia Yan didn't know this. After all, with an Ultraman's two headlamp-like eyes, it was impossible to tell if he was awake or not.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got; the angrier he got, the more he thought about it. So, he simply raised his arm.
And delivered an Ultraman slap!
Leo, who had just sat up on the sea surface, was met with a large palm filling his vision.
Leo: "???"
Slap—
The crisp sound of the slap was quite loud. Leo was utterly bewildered.
After slapping him, Xia Yan felt refreshed and clear-headed. Then, calming down, he saw Leo staring straight at him with his two headlamp eyes.
The atmosphere fell silent.
Xia Yan nonchalantly extended a hand towards Leo, as if he hadn't just slapped him at all, his tone filled with feigned delight:
"You're finally awake! Get up quickly! Dealing with Magma Seijin is urgent now!"
Without waiting for Leo's reaction, he grabbed his arm and yanked him up.
Ultraman slap?
Wasn't me. Didn't happen. Don't spread rumors.
Turning to look at Magma Seijin and the twin monsters, he prepared to coordinate with Leo.
Then he heard a whistling sound. Turning, Xia Yan saw a blue top spinning in a circle, hurtling towards them at high speed!
Almost instinctively, the hand still gripping Leo's arm reflexively pulled him in front of himself!
Ultraman Mastery – Defensive Summon!
"Yiaa—"
An Ultraman shriek rang out.
Leo was sent flying by the impact. The Giras Spin from the twin monsters sent him tumbling several times through the air.
Then he splatted into the seawater.
Looking up at the unfamiliar Ultraman, Leo's headlamp eyes were full of bewilderment.
What's your deal?
But the current crisis left no time for further thought. The twin monsters had already initiated another Giras Spin. Leo had no choice but to quickly assume a fighting stance.
Over on the other side, Xia Yan felt somewhat awkward. He swore to the heavens he hadn't intended to screw Leo over just now.
It was purely bodily instinct, really!
Seeing Leo engaged with the twin monsters…
No, more accurately, Leo was being sent flying back and forth by the twin monsters using the Giras Spin.
Xia Yan felt that even if he went to help, he'd probably just get sent flying too.
So, after a moment's thought, he decisively turned and went after Magma Seijin.
Leo decided to face the twin monsters alone, to avenge his destroyed homeland and his parents.
Xia Yan thought to himself, since you put it that way, I'll handle Magma Seijin for you first, don't mention it!
Currently, Leo is getting beaten up…
