Chapter 38: This Dunamist Is Inhuman
[You waste no time, drawing the Evoltruster and transforming instantly. Light erupts, and you emerge in your unique, golden-hued adult form.]
[Without a single word, you immediately begin to deploy the Meta Field.]
[Just as the shimmering barrier is halfway complete, a familiar dark figure materializes—Dark Faust, the very same one you encountered before.]
[She lunges from behind, launching a vicious sneak attack.]
[You pivot on your heel and lash out with a powerful roundhouse kick, sending her reeling. Simultaneously, you manifest an Eight-Point Light Wheel in your hand and hurl it at her.]
[Just as Dark Faust rights herself, the serrated disc of light screams past her forehead, neatly shearing off the horn-like protrusions from her head in a single, clean swipe.]
[In that same moment, the Meta Field fully envelops the area.]
[Within the confines of your pocket dimension, a maelstrom of dark energy churns and coalesces. Before you know it, another dark Ultraman has taken form.]
[A fragment of memory surfaces, and you instantly recognize him the moment he appears. It is Dark Mephisto, and he stands alongside Dark Faust.]
[A cold thought crosses your mind: you could probably tear off one of her arms and a leg.]
[‘As for being unable to defeat them… I never even considered it. If I can’t handle these two, how could I ever hope to face the final threats like Darkness Zagi or Dark Lucifer?’]
[Dark Faust and Dark Mephisto exert their power in unison, attempting to corrupt your Meta Field and twist it into a Dark Field.]
[You let out a cold snort. Under the crushing weight of your superior power and mental fortitude, the encroaching darkness recedes, and the Meta Field is instantly restored to its pristine state.]
[A flicker of surprise and disbelief crosses Dark Mephisto’s posture. How could a newly emerged adult form possess such overwhelming strength? He opens his mouth, as if to speak…]
[But you immediately employ the Prince’s Tactic, unleashing a continuous, overwhelming barrage of Particle Feathers. Having an effectively bottomless well of energy makes you willful.]
[You know that any typical Dunamist would never dare to fight like this. Such an expenditure would be a massive drain on their health—in other words, they would be burning their own life force.]
[Dark Mephisto can only stare, a sense of deep abnormality radiating from him. Who fights like this? Who completely ignores the villain’s pre-battle speech?]
[You can only sneer at his unspoken question. ‘Abnormal? My approach is the only rational one. Who has time to listen to you talk?’]
[‘As long as you’re an enemy standing beside a Space Beast, the only thing that matters is killing you.’]
[‘Should I stand here and listen to a load of nonsense, giving my opponent the chance to launch an attack? Or use some kind of talk-no-jutsu to stall for time? Impossible. Absolutely impossible.’]
[You are a firm believer in the simple truth that villains die from talking too much—and so do heroes.]
[Faced with your relentless, unending Prince’s Tactic, Dark Mephisto grabs Dark Faust and shoves her in front of him, clearly using her as a human shield.]
[You show no mercy, continuing the fusillade, determined to eliminate one of them first.]
[Countless Particle Feathers bombard Dark Faust’s body, erupting in a shower of violent sparks.]
[With a final, explosive bang, her giant form shatters. She reverts to a young woman in a simple white dress, collapsing limply to the ground.]
[Whether she is dead or alive is unknown. You cast an indifferent glance at the woman on the ground.]
[With your enhanced vision, you can see the truth of her condition. She is no longer truly human—just an empty vessel, a puppet animated by lingering memories.]
[This entire exchange has taken place in mere seconds.]
[The three-headed canine Space Beast behind you hasn’t even had time to react, and you’ve already dealt with one of your powerful foes.]
[You fix your gaze on Dark Mephisto. Your fists clench tightly. You find this act of desecrating memories, of puppeteering the dead, utterly unforgivable.]
[‘And as for that Space Beast,’you think, your eyes narrowing on the creature that resembles a hellhound,’I’m going to rip off all its extra parts.’]
[A flicker of light runs across your Nexus armor, and you activate the Nexus Mirage, vanishing from the spot.]
[The next instant, you reappear behind Dark Mephisto, slamming a roundhouse kick into his back and sending him flying. He tumbles through the air and lands right next to the three-headed Space Beast.]
[You leap into the air, concentrating a massive amount of light energy into your foot. Spinning like a drill, you deliver a devastating kick to the three-headed hellhound’s chest.]
[The blow inflicts heavy damage, sending the Space Beast hurtling backward. It crashes directly into Dark Mephisto just as he was staggering to his feet, and the two of them collapse into a heap.]
[Seizing the opportunity, you fire an Over-Ray Storm directly at Dark Mephisto.]
[That Space Beast can wait. Dealing with Mephisto comes first.]
[In a panic, Dark Mephisto hurriedly grabs the dazed Space Beast and holds it up as a shield.]
[Seeing your opponent has blocked the attack, you brace yourself, planting your feet and taking another powerful step forward. You simultaneously increase the energy output of your Over-Ray Storm.]
[As the torrent of light energy intensifies, the three-headed hellhound held in front of the beam disintegrates into atoms and molecules, vanishing completely.]
[The beam continues, unabated, shooting directly toward Dark Mephisto.]
[Sensing the imminent approach of death, Dark Mephisto immediately raises his arm, forming it into an L-shape, and fires a desperate beam of darkness.]
[However, his dark beam is pitifully weak. Against the overwhelming might of your enhanced attack…]
[It is shattered in moments, and the Over-Ray Storm strikes Dark Mephisto squarely in the chest.]
“Ah!!!”
[Dark Mephisto lets out a pained wail. Black energy surges from his body, trying in vain to counteract the Over-Ray Storm as his entire frame convulses violently.]
[A few seconds later, Dark Mephisto lets out a final, defiant roar. The dark energy shrouding him erupts outward, shattering your beam.]
[You look at him, slightly perplexed, but without a moment’s hesitation, you begin charging another Over-Ray Storm.]
[In a desperate move, Dark Mephisto snatches the unconscious girl from the ground, dissolves into a cloud of black mist, and vanishes from the Meta Field.]
[You do not give chase. Instead, you retract the gathering energy. You can feel your own power reaching its limit; pursuing him now would be unwise. It would be walking straight into a potential trap.]
[You dispel the Meta Field. The very instant the pocket dimension collapses, you are struck by two energy blasts. A shower of sparks erupts from your shoulder as a sharp pain lances through you.]
[Looking up, you see a fighter jet hovering before you. Through the cockpit, you can see the crazed expression of its pilot, and behind her, a terrified young man.]
[You flick your wrist, casting a Whip of Light that instantly wraps around the terrified young man in the rear seat. With a sharp tug, you pull him free of the cockpit and toss him to safety on the ground below. An innocent will not be harmed on your watch.]
[Manifesting an Eight-Point Light Wheel in each palm, you hurl them at the fighter jet.]
[With a deafening bang, the jet is obliterated, turning to dust in mid-air.]
[In that final instant, Nagi Saijo yanks the ejection lever, launching herself clear and deploying her parachute.]
[You give her a single, indifferent glance, then turn and walk away.]
[‘That’s strike three,’you think.’Next time, I won’t be so lenient.’]
[In the period that followed, Space Beasts began to appear with alarming frequency. You often found yourself fighting two, or even three, at once.]
[Although transforming into Nexus placed a heavy burden on your body, every ounce of that burden became nourishment for your growth.]
[You are almost grateful for the Space Beasts they keep releasing, as they are all within a strength range you can manage.]
[At the same time, you begin testing your own physical strength in your human form. The method is very simple, using steel plates as a benchmark.]
[You head to a building materials market and buy several thick steel plates, stacking them up for a simple test.]
[Through your experiments, you find that a casual punch can now shatter a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate. When you focus your strength into a single point, you can drive your fist straight through the massive, twenty-meter-wide rockery in the local park.]
[You feel that even this is not your limit, but there’s nowhere else to find a suitable challenge. Besides, buying steel plates costs money.]
[While the thought of robbing the rich to fund your training crosses your mind, there aren’t any suitable targets left in the vicinity.]
[, during your encounters with the Night Raid Team, you notice that Nagi Saijo, the one who so often ambushes you, is no longer part of their flight formation.]
[Without her interference, your battles against the Space Beasts go exceptionally smoothly.]
[However, you feel that she absolutely will not give up so easily. She is probably cooking up some new scheme.]
[You also find it very strange that you can’t find any sign of Dark Mephisto or Dark Faust.]
[Unbeknownst to you, Dark Mephisto and Dark Faust have both regained their sanity.]
[They are no longer puppets to be manipulated. Having lost the ability to transform, they now watch from a distance as you eliminate the Space Beasts.]
[After being hit by your Over-Ray Storm that day, Dark Mephisto recovered his original memories.]
[He is filled with extreme remorse, wondering what terrible things he has done.]
[The other girl, the one who became Dark Faust, has also lost her ability to transform. She can clearly feel her life force rapidly fading away and has decided to spend her last days with the person she loves.]
[You, however, are completely oblivious to this and continue to exercise your body by fighting Space Beasts every day.]
[You are in no rush, but someone in the Night Raid Team is. They feel that you are very abnormal—deeply, disturbingly abnormal.]
[They begin to wonder if Noah, the mysterious entity behind Nexus, chose an alien to be its Dunamist. If not for the intel they had on the Space Beasts, they would find it impossible to believe you are human.]
[How could any human fight in such high-intensity battles without showing any signs of injury? How could they instead seem even more energetic, to the point of being able to take on five powerful Space Beasts at once?]
[The most important point, however, is that while Space Beasts can reproduce by feeding on fear…]
[…after the sheer rate of consumption over this period, there are not many Space Beasts left. They will need time to replenish their numbers.]
[If you knew what they were thinking, you would probably pat your chest and say, ‘I’m different from other Dunamists. Other Dunamists might be exhausted from running around, but I’m a cheat. The more I get hurt, the better. Every injury becomes food for me to grow stronger.’]
[However, even if you knew they thought this, you would never say it. You wouldn’t be like some self-introducing alien, exposing all your own information.]
[You also feel that the fighting has been too frequent lately. Although you have powerful recovery abilities, augmented by the Stone Wing, you too are reaching your limit.]
[If you had to face high-intensity battles against more than five Space Beasts at once another eight or ten times, you would be finished.]
[However, to your surprise, in the days that followed, the opponent’s attacks ceased.]
[For the most part, only small, weak Space Beasts appeared, allowing you plenty of time to rest.]
