Chapter 8 Elord vs. Ligardron
In the vast depths of the universe, a spaceship drifts like a lone boat. This spaceship was supposed to complete its mission to explore Jupiter and return safely, but it mysteriously disappeared en route, leaving the fate of its three brave and fearless astronauts unknown.
Upon receiving the news, TPC immediately dispatched Daigo and Munakata aboard the Victory Falcon 1 to the scene of the incident to conduct an investigation. Throughout the journey, the two men, their faces grave and their hearts heavy, discussed the mysterious disappearance.
"Is there still no clue as to the whereabouts of the spaceship?" Daigo asked with a long sigh as he gazed at the dark and deep space outside the porthole.
Zong Fang nodded, his brows furrowed, and replied, "Yes, ever since it went to explore Jupiter, it has disappeared without a trace, as if it had sunk into the sea. Two whole months have passed now!" His voice was filled with worry and helplessness.
Daigo couldn't help but complain, "Sigh, it seems that being an astronaut is an extremely dangerous job! Once an accident occurs and someone goes missing, it's hard to even find them." As he spoke, he gently shook his head.
Just then, a strange light flashed past them. Daigo and Munakata looked closely and saw a strangely shaped, unidentified life form rushing past them at an astonishing speed. This unidentified life form emitted an eerie light, and its form was completely beyond the scope of human knowledge.
Upon seeing this, Daigo acted decisively, quickly contacting Earth headquarters via communication equipment: "Unknown life form detected, please respond!" However, he and Munakata were completely unaware that a massive crisis was quietly approaching—while they were focused on maintaining communication with headquarters, an enormous, unidentified object was rapidly hurtling towards their location...
Wow.
The landing site was a crucial base meticulously constructed by the Space Development Agency for storing ultra-high-purity energy. The unidentified flying object swooped down like lightning, crashing into water like a boulder, instantly creating a massive wave with astonishing force.
Just then, a figure slowly spread its arms, gradually revealing its form. A gigantic, ferocious monster—Ligardron—officially stepped onto the stage! It exuded a terrifying aura, sending chills down everyone's spines.
This person named Duolue had actually been lurking near the Space Development Bureau for several days, silently observing and waiting for the monster to appear.
However, in the past few days, he took no action, simply living a leisurely life of eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing like an observer. But he remained vigilant, patiently waiting for the best opportunity.
Now, the monster has finally appeared as he expected, but surprisingly, he did not choose to immediately transform into the powerful Dark Tiga Ultraman to fight against it.
On the contrary, he seemed confident and decided to let the monster show its strength first, as if the battle was more of a spectacular performance for him.
Daigo and Munakata launched an attack on the Flying Swallow, while Rena and Horii also came out to help with their pistols.
Little did they know that the Flying Swallow was just scratching the surface, like a mere tickle. Ligadron was bored and ignored the Victory Team, no longer intending to continue playing with them.
The monster turned around and got busy with its own business, going to the reserve base to absorb high-intensity energy.
The Space Development Agency personnel activated the DCS defense system, but it was ineffective against the monster.
The observer, Duolue, taunted, "Eat, keep eating. Once you're full and stronger, you'll obediently become my card."
The Victory Team launched a missile attack, but Rigatron, with its hard shell, withstood the missile attack and immediately put its hands together to fire a blue destructive beam that hit the Flying Swallow.
Because the Flying Swallow was attacked by the destructive beam and suddenly malfunctioned, Daigo and Munakata urgently landed on the ground. Then, Rigdron lit his engine and flew rapidly into the sky.
"Trying to escape? So far, no monster has ever escaped my grasp. And since no one can see us from the sky, that suits me perfectly." Duolue pondered deeply. "Let me think... Ligadron has the ability to fly and formidable defense. Should I send Melba? No, his attack power isn't enough. I need a monster with both strength and speed. You're the one, Elord!"
After saying that, Duolue opened the system card space. He looked at the strongest monster, which was even stronger than Zetton, and eagerly threw out the Elode card to summon it.
Elord exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Master, for giving me some time of freedom! Mwah! I haven't fought in a long time since I became a card, it's time to get out and stretch my muscles!"
After saying that, the Elord quickly spread its large wings and flew into the sky to chase after the fleeing Ligardron.
Daigo saw Ligadron fly away and escape. Just as he was about to return to the base with everyone to hold a meeting to discuss the battle plan, a shadow suddenly flashed in his peripheral vision.
Daigo, bewildered, said, "What did I just see? Another monster? I guess I was seeing things." Daigo didn't take it seriously and continued walking. Little did he know that the shadow was actually the Elorid who had been chasing him.
As Ligadron slowly flew into the quiet space, he unconsciously felt a strange fear, as if someone was following him.
Before Ligadron could even seriously consider and react to the question, the pursuing Elordians launched a fireball at Ligadron's back.
"I've been chasing you for so long, haven't you felt someone following you? Behold my fireball!" The Elorid launched a sneak attack.
Although his fireballs did not cause much damage to Ligadron, they still made Ligadron feel the fear of the weak towards the strong.
Not to be outdone, Ligadron joined his hands together and released a blue destructive beam.
Although the Elords initially had the upper hand, they were unexpectedly nearly killed by Ligadron's powerful blue destructive ray attack, which caused the Elords to grow muscles and launch a stronger attack.
The Elord clenched his fists, his muscles as hard as rock, veins clearly visible beneath his skin. With a low growl, he swung with all his might at the hard object. The force of his punch whistled, seemingly tearing through the air, and in an instant, his fist collided with the object.
At the moment of impact, his fist felt as if it had struck a mountain, and intense pain shot through his entire body. However, he gritted his teeth and forcefully suppressed the pain. The muscles on his face contorted in pain.
The Elords were surprised by the strength of Ligadron's defenses; the fireball had not caused much damage.
Ligadron began his counterattack, launching a barrage of bombs in a surprise attack. The Elords, momentarily stunned by the blasts, quickly used their speed to escape. He was getting serious; he needed to find a way to defeat them.
The Elords used their speed advantage to constantly dodge and launch fireballs to ambush the enemy.
"This can't go on. I have to find a way to weaken Ligadron." The Elorid flew directly in front of him and used force to break off Ligadron's arm. Without that arm, it can't fire the destructive beam. Now it's simple.
The rest is that the Elords start to attack with their fists, making Ligardron feel afraid, and maximizing his plunder level to turn him into a card.
Duolue asked doubtfully, "System, after plundering Ligadron, is it possible to rescue those three astronauts?"
The system replied, "Yes, yes, but the host suggests waiting until Ligadron returns to Earth before starting to plunder, since humans cannot breathe in space."
"I see. I heard it. I heard the Elords drive Ligadron back to Earth."
Ligadron was violently and humiliatingly blasted from distant space onto the vast surface of Earth.
"Detection shows 100% plunderable power for Ligadron. Plunder?"
Ligadron has been thoroughly terrified by the Elords and now only has one drop of blood left. One more hit and he'll be dead.
"Yes, plunder ability activated."
The cards will automatically be added to the system's card space.
The Ligadron card is now in my possession.
As for the three missing astronauts, they will wake up after lying on the ground and return on their own after a while.
Some time later, the GUTS team received news at headquarters: the three missing astronauts had returned, so there was no need to worry. Now all they needed to do was eliminate the escaped Ligadron.
After organizing his monster cards, he gave Gedi to Zeton to boost its attack power. Gedi's strongest monster is now available, since he doesn't keep idle monsters around.
Duolue sensed the restlessness of the Zetton card, so he gently patted the card and comforted it, "I know, I know, you've been wanting to show off for a while now. Don't worry! The next monster will be your turn to deal with."
His words revealed his trust and understanding of Zetton. He knew Zetton was a powerful monster, yearning for battle and to demonstrate its power. With the promise of victory, it would soon have its chance.
Afterward, Duolue began packing his things, preparing to leave the ruins. He had an important task: to return to the Green Membrane Hotel and wait for Daigo to come back. He needed to train Daigo and help him better master the power of Ultraman.
Before leaving, Duolue decided to give the city a "surprise." He immediately played the Ligadron card and commanded, "Go, Ligadron, attack the city!"
Ligadron is a powerful monster, and its appearance will bring immense destruction to the city. Dorothy knows this will be a fierce battle, but he also understands that only through such a fight can he better test his strength and make Daigo realize that he needs to work even harder.
With the arrival of Ligadron, the city descended into chaos. People fled in all directions, seeking refuge. Dorothy stood at a distance, observing everything. He knew he would soon intervene in the battle, but he also wanted to see Daigo's reaction.
This battle is not only a test for Ultraman Rikkadron, but also a test for Daigo. We believe that through this battle, Daigo will grow into an even stronger Ultraman.
