Ultraman Arbitrary Key: Dawn Chapter 2

He's been targeted. There's no way he can escape the monsters, so his only option is to fight.

This is how it's supposed to be used, right?

Qi Ming's left hand tapped the watch face, and he forcefully pressed the raised movement back down.

A warm, brilliant light enveloped him.

Flowing light surged upwards, and a giant intertwined with red, silver, and purple appeared.

Ultraman Tiga, arriving!

"So, this is how I transform... I'm so tall, my head feels like it's going to explode."

A massive flood of information poured into Qi Ming's brain, allowing him to instantly understand how to "use" this body.

What a long skill list...

"A new Ultra Warrior! That statue came back to life!" Seven, lying on the ground, was deeply surprised.

While he was delighted to have new power to aid him, he also worried that this Ultraman might suffer the same fate as himself.

"Roar!" Seeing Tiga alive, the three ancient monsters reacted even more strongly, roaring and adopting sharper attack stances.

"I have to fight all three right off the bat? This is a bit tricky."

When was the last time I fought three at once? Ah, I remember. It was at the London Zoo when I scared off three agitated kangaroos that were kicking eight-year-old girls.

Qi Ming got into his stance, moving in a crisscross, parallel motion, confronting the three monsters.

His neighbor, an uncle named Qing Zizai, was a martial artist. After entering university, he befriended an archaeology professor who was also a master.

They saw that Qi Ming had unusual potential, possessed a presence that could "hold his own," was eloquent with sharp wit, and had a righteous heart. They unanimously agreed that such a prodigy would be able to weather great storms in the future and passed on all their unique skills to him.

Therefore, Qi Ming considered himself to have "a slight understanding" of combat techniques. As long as nothing unexpected happened, dealing with three monsters who were just rampaging with brute force shouldn't be a problem.

"Besides, I can use weapons." As he sidestepped to Seven's side, Qi Ming grabbed the Ice Axe from the top of Seven's head with his right hand. "Mind if I borrow this?"

With that said, he gripped the Ice Axe firmly and took the initiative to attack.

The first to bear the brunt was Melba, who was at the forefront. Qi Ming leaped and chopped down, and Melba immediately blocked Tiga's right arm with its scythe-like right hand.

"It took the bait." Qi Ming twisted his wrist, his hands defending, and used his left hand to hook and pull back, while his right hand, holding the Ice Axe, sliced along Melba's right arm, directly cutting its throat.

The intense pain caused Melba to let out a long wail. Although not dead, the organ in its throat used to gather energy and fire the Melba Nic Ray had been destroyed, incapacitating it for the time being.

Just as Qi Ming was about to finish it off, Golza swung its tail sideways again, sweeping at Tiga's lower body.

Qi Ming reacted extremely quickly after being hit, supporting himself with one hand on the ground and kicking Golza's head in a backward motion. After dealing a head-on blow, he once again created a safe distance.

I remember Golza's Super Sonic Wave is fired from its forehead. This should have had some effect on it.

Qi Ming calculated as he charged towards the last monster, Garula.

He gathered energy in his right knee and delivered an aerial flying knee, knocking Garula to the ground.

Sky Pillar Strike!

Seven, who was lying incapacitated on the ground, as well as team members Kishida and Yamanaka, who had emerged from the crashed Falcon 1, were stunned.

They had taken down three monsters just upon meeting them. So fast, so strong!

"Who exactly are you?" Seven couldn't help but ask. He knew very well that there was no one like this in the Land of Light.

"Just a passing archaeologist," Qi Ming replied while adjusting his posture.

An archaeologist?

He shouldn't be a martial arts master or a fighting champion. How could an archaeologist perform moves that were as sharp as a demon's and as graceful as a butterfly's?

Qi Ming: "We'll talk later."

Right now, the most important thing was the three monsters in front of him.

The probing was over. It was time to switch to the more powerful Strong Type to finish the job.

He crossed his arms in front of the Tiga crystal on his forehead and then slid them down forcefully.

Nothing happened.

Huh? Why didn't it change?

Then, the more agile Sky Type?

Still no change.

"Beep, beep, beep." The next moment, Tiga's Color Timer on its chest began to flash.

Qi Ming couldn't believe it.

Didn't he have three minutes to operate on Earth? It had only been one minute!

Wait, I think I understand what "Integration Level: 30%" means now.
