The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Page 38

Back when he first approached Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan gave him a week of acclimatization training.

This training was ostensibly "to prepare for various possible future situations," but in reality, it involved teaching Daigo how to operate various firearms and machines.

During this process, Daigo displayed a talent that amazed Lu Xuan.

Motorcycles, cars, yachts, buses, heavy trucks, even tanks and aircraft...

Daigoto was able to adapt and get the hang of it quickly. While he might not be considered a seasoned driver in terms of pure driving experience, he definitely outperformed the average newcomer.

In addition, Daigo's shooting talent should not be underestimated.

Daigo's excellent dynamic vision, coupled with his amazing intuition, allowed him to move beyond the novice stage in a very short time.

Considering Daigo's performance in assisting me in piloting the Galvin to fight the enemy during the Shinjuku incident...

Lu Xuan could basically conclude that Daigo's future joining the Victory Team was entirely genuine.

The complaints my older sister often makes, such as "crash king," "dead pilot," and "killer of the Victory Swallow," are most likely just a result of the plot.

So Daigo's first bullet accurately hit the teammate closest to him.

"Hyena has been shot, requesting falcon support!"

They didn't even check the extent of their teammate's injury.

The other team member immediately dropped to the ground and began calling for backup through his headset.

"Falcon received."

Accompanied by a calm, almost indifferent, voice, one of the snipers in the nearby building decisively pulled the trigger.

Silence—Boom!

In an instant, the wall on the second floor of the hotel collapsed, and the huge explosion could be heard hundreds of meters away.

It was as if something had pierced through the room where Daigo was, creating a huge hole that connected the north and south sides.

......................................................................................................

"What happened?!"

Sheena, who was anxiously waiting on the top floor, suddenly stood up and was almost knocked to the ground by the sudden tremor.

Onoda, who was right behind him, managed to regain his footing in time, but he also stared in horror at the fleeting flames on the building next to him.

"Is that an anti-tank sniper rifle?!"

Unlike sniper rifles typically used for long-range sniping.

As the name suggests, anti-tank sniper rifles are large-scale sniping devices specifically designed to attack tanks and aircraft.

Thanks to the development of technology in this world, and the advancement of new energy technologies...

This kind of "anti-tank sniping" technique, which was completely useless in Lu Xuan's previous life, has become a reality in this world.

In street battles, the "anti-tank sniper" is undoubtedly the king of individual combat.

Shooting through a wall is nothing special.

The ability to precisely destroy armored vehicles and tanks from a kilometer away is the true embodiment of the power of this king of individual soldiers.

"Using this kind of sniper rifle to shoot people? That sniper must be crazy!"

Just as Onoda and Setsuna were in a panic, Saki, who had been silently observing the battle, walked to the window.

Following Saki's gaze downwards, she saw Takagi Toneri, sitting in a black sedan, quietly roll down the window, and their eyes met.

"..."

Hundreds of meters apart, Takagi Toneri and Saki gazed at each other, and simultaneously saw the complex expression in each other's eyes.

For Saki, Takagi Toneri was the grandson of her former best friend.

For Takagi Toneri, Saki was the obsession he had pursued his entire life.

Nearly a century has passed, and the child of yesteryear has grown old beyond recognition, his face etched with wrinkles left by time.

Yet the girl remains young, with no trace of time on her face.

This drastic change left both parties with a feeling that was hard to put into words.

"Gadi, may I call you that?"

She gently closed her eyes, and when Saki opened them again, all the longing and helplessness in her eyes had faded away, replaced by an unprecedented determination.

"Wang!"

Upon hearing Saki call his name, Gaddy, who had been deliberately left there by Lu Xuan, immediately looked up, a human-like bewilderment flashing in his eyes.

For Gaddy, it had no idea what was happening down there.

Gedi simply guarded the sands as his "trophies," following the custom of 30 million years ago.

Therefore, when this "trophy" took the initiative to speak to him, Gedi's first reaction was that he had gotten into trouble again.

Since following Lu Xuan, Gadi realized that the other party was a completely different being from his former master.

He doesn't like "hunting," nor does he enjoy "playing" with me.

But Gaddy could sense that although the other person didn't like playing with him and even often scolded him, he never truly rejected or hated his existence.

In this respect, even Gedi's "personal cat owner" - Daigo - is far inferior to Lu Xuan.

Because no matter how docile Gedi appears, once Daigo sees the other's true nature, he can never truly treat it as an ordinary big dog.

Whether Daigo is willing to admit it or not, he harbored some fear and a desire to appease Gedi when facing him.

Only Lu Xuan truly saw Geddy as just Geddy.

Whether it's a gentle Chinese rural dog or a ferocious komainu monster...

In Lu Xuan's eyes, Gaddy was just Gaddy, a big dog that often did silly things.

"Geddy, would you be willing to come down with me?"

With a firm gaze fixed on Gedi's eyes, Saki didn't want this pointless battle to continue any longer; she wanted to resolve the conflict at its root.

Unfortunately, all that Saki received was the back of Gedi's head as he turned away.

—Just a mere "trophy"!

—What did it think was wrong? Turns out it just wanted to run away!

Chapter 64 Inhuman Monster (Bonus Chapter, Please Read!)

"That guy isn't human..."

"Back off! Back off! Back off immediately!"

"Damn it, what kind of monster is that?!"

"Oh no, it's charging this way!"

……

Hearing the screams coming from his earpiece, Saburo Matsushita, who was blocking the hotel entrance, felt a chill run down his spine and was overcome with an unprecedented sense of fear.

Because in less than a minute, his own team members were defeated one after another.

The speed at which they killed was so fast that it was practically a massacre.

By the time Saburo Matsushita came to his senses, he could no longer hear a single sound from the other end of the headset.

This means that the unknown monster has wiped out all the members who entered the hotel, leaving only a few members at the entrance and in the adjacent building still in communication.

"Falcons, can you spot it?"

Upon hearing Saburo Matsushita's question, the sniper in the other building felt a chill run down his spine, and then murmured with an emphasis that defied description.

"I can't see it; it's not visible on thermal imaging or lidar."

At this moment, the sniper codenamed "Falcon" didn't even have time to tally up the "scorched earth" on the second floor; he was completely focused on searching for Lu Xuan.

Unfortunately, Lu Xuan was nowhere to be seen, neither in the sights that could see the thermal image nor in the lidar in the observer's hand.

The enemy was like an invisible ghost; the sniper could only roughly predict the enemy's location by listening to the terrified screams of his teammates and the speed at which they disappeared.

"Without being able to track the enemy's movements, even drones cannot carry out a decapitation strike."

The prerequisite for drone operations is the ability to determine the enemy's location.

When thermal imaging and lidar are unable to provide localization, the only option is to rely on the most basic camera for image capture.

The key issue is that the unidentified creature moved far too quickly.

If the target cannot be located in advance, the drone will likely be noticed by the target as soon as it detects it, and will be shot down immediately.

"We can now pinpoint the location of that thing."

As if in response to Saburo Matsushita's statement, clear footsteps suddenly came from the end of the passageway not far away.

......................................................................................................

"Aren't you going to run away?"

Standing only a third the height of a normal adult, the Gaelic people, emerging from the shadows, exude a unique sense of terror and oppression.

Especially when paired with the pose of the other person's hands constantly emitting electric sparks.

No one doubted his combat prowess, and no one doubted whether he was the "monster" who had previously slaughtered the entire squad.

"Start the drone!"

Ignoring Lu Xuan's thoughts completely, Matsushita Saburo decisively gave the order the moment the other party appeared.

At the same time, the remaining two members blocking the doorway quickly raised their guns and pulled the triggers in Lu Xuan's direction.

Silence! Silence! Silence!

A barrage of rays swept towards Lu Xuan, but he dodged them all with an almost unbelievable calmness.

From a normal person's perspective, Lu Xuan's current speed is indeed very fast, but it is still slower than an energy ray shot at the speed of light.

However, Lu Xuan's movements were unpredictable enough.

As long as he can predict the direction of the gun barrel in advance, he can dodge the energy rays aimed at him in time.

Unless there are more than ten teammates remaining, and they disregard the energy consumption of their weapons and launch a wide-range fire attack, there is no way to truly harm Lu Xuan at this moment.

This is a major reason why Lu Xuan transformed into a Galvin instead of fighting in human form.

The petite and agile Gaelic is far superior to Lu Xuan in human form, except for a slight lack of offensive skills.

As for the weakness of slightly weaker attack methods?

With the addition of "electromagnetic reinforced gloves", this weakness is no longer considered a weakness.

For example, right now...

Silence—Boom!

Faced with the siege of Matsushita Saburo and others, Lu Xuan raised his right arm without hesitation and fired a palm cannon in their direction.

Unlike the previous sonic attacks, the energy-intensive Palm Cannon also inflicts massive damage.

Most importantly, the open terrain here allows the palm cannon to reach its full potential.

In the blink of an eye, the hotel's main entrance and walls were blasted into pieces.

Countless pieces of shattered concrete and steel bars splattered outwards, and the three people wearing exoskeleton armor suffered broken bones and let out painful screams.

If Masaki Keigo's "new weaponry" hadn't been so formidable, that single strike would have been enough to obliterate the three of them.

Even so, apart from Matsushita Saburo who reacted a little faster, the rest of them were no longer able to fight back and fell into a state of unconsciousness.

This is the cruelty of modern warfare, and an inevitable consequence of human civilization and weaponry.

In situations where equipment and technology completely overwhelm each other, the real battlefield simply doesn't contain the scenes of life-and-death struggles and bloody battles depicted in movies and novels.

Not to mention, the technology of the Gaelic people is so far behind the current level of technology on Earth that they are not even in the same league.

Even if Lu Xuan stood still, the "new weapons" equipped by Matsushita Saburo and his men would not be able to break through the force field generator he was wearing.

After all, even the Desimos aliens were helpless against it until the energy of the force field generator was exhausted.

However, Lu Xuan's single strike that knocked down Matsushita Saburo and the other two did not mean the end of the battle.
