Uncle Li and the others threw themselves into rebuilding the village during the day. Every time a scene from his memories was brought back to life, Obiko was filled with renewed determination.
After Daigo pressed the phone button, Obiko stood in the darkness.
"Is this the one who's been disrupting the peace?"
Obiko's voice was full of fury. The magic wand in his hand began to sparkle with angry fireworks. He was ready to give the Witch a taste of his enthusiasm.
As far as he was concerned, he wouldn't let a single troublemaker get away.
"This one should be able to teleport, too. Let her return to her lair, and we'll wipe it out in one go." Zhou Hong asked, "Can you track her?"
Zhou Hong didn't want to wait until she made her move to pinpoint her lair. By then, who knew if they could still protect those kids?
And if they didn't destroy her lair, another Cilombo might come from another dimension and start causing trouble again. Zhou Hong wouldn't allow that.
"As long as she's in the darkness, she can't escape my grasp." Obiko declared confidently, clenching his fist.
"Good." Zhou Hong nodded. Grip of Immortality seized the Witch and took her to an empty alley, then casually tossed her to the ground.
A sudden kick sent her flying. The wind whipped Daigo's billowing clothes, making them snap loudly.
As if kicking a soccer ball, he slammed his foot into the Witch. Her body shot sideways and crashed into a nearby trash can.
The impact caved in the trash can, pinning the Witch against the wall of a building.
The pain woke her instantly. Seeing the werewolf before her, a figure bristling with all kinds of bizarre, violent features, she let out a shrill scream and vanished on the spot.
"Obiko, how is it?"
Obiko, concealed in the darkness, bared his pearly white teeth. "I've got her locked on."
The eyes of the wolf-head mask gleamed red. He clapped his massive hands together. "Then the hunt begins."
The darkness happened to envelop the two of them. Though they were supposed to be allies of light and justice, they looked as if they were cultists plotting some sinister ritual in a corner.
Watching the two beside him, Daigo felt like he was no longer an ally of justice. He was getting a headache.
But Obiko acted faster than Daigo could think. The scene before them shifted, and they appeared in a rather bizarre room.
Well, specifically, in a shadowy corner where something blocked out the light.
The Witch, holding her aching lower back, was startled to see the three of them. "Impossible! How did you get here?"
Daigo didn't answer. He raised his hand and fired a Hyper Gun beam.
The beam exploded against the Witch's body, driving her backward.
Zhou Hong said nothing. He charged forward like a beast, leaping into a flying kick that followed Daigo's beam and slammed into the Witch's stomach.
The Witch flew backward, smashing all kinds of strange objects along the way before crashing hard into the wall.
She spat out green blood, making her already revolting face even more nauseating.
"All right, Obiko. We don't need you anymore. Go back and help Director Sawai." Zhou Hong waved him off.
"Are you sure you don't need me to help?" Obiko asked, puzzled.
After all, humans had always believed that unity was strength. They'd gather in a big group and gang up on some monster.
"It's fine. Look at that useless wreck. Does she look like she can fight?"
Seeing how weak the Witch looked, as if she might faint at the slightest touch, Obiko agreed that she didn't seem capable of fighting. He nodded and immediately teleported away.
Her furniture had been wrecked, someone had chased her home and beaten her up, and now they were mocking her to her face. The Witch was so furious that her hair rose straight up, defying Sir Isaac Newton's laws.
"Damn it! Damn it!" she cursed. In an instant, she teleported outside the room, growing larger as her appearance gradually changed.
Through the holes in the pumpkin, they could see her bizarre form. At the top of her body, something—whether eyes or some other organ—flickered with blue points of light. This was the extradimensional being Cilombo.
How to put it? This wasn't the kind of enemy Zhou Hong was good at fighting. Teleportation, shadow clones—none of that gave her any real strength in a head-on fight.
Still, there were so few chances to get some practice in that he'd just have to make do and beat her up.
He didn't forget to invite his buddy, either. "Daigo, want to join me?"
Daigo nodded. He didn't think much of it; he just felt that the two of them might finish faster.
The Spark Lens and Ultra Heart glowed at the same time.
A radiant pillar of light shot into the sky, illuminating the wilderness on this Halloween night.
"Haah!" This was Tiga, with four-pack abs.
"Haah!" This was Jostar, with six-pack abs that were nearly an eight-pack.
Perhaps anger had fried her brain. Even though she was facing two Ultra Warriors, Cilombo, a mage, charged straight at them.
With nimble steps, her arm swept forward with a cutting wind, though the blow looked too light to have any impact. She aimed it at Jostar, whom she hated most.
Jostar was careless. He didn't dodge.
Cilombo dealt him a ton of damage. Her conical arm rested against Jostar's motionless body, while the blue lights on her flickered wildly in his face.
Then Cilombo was knocked to the ground by a huge slap. A heavy fist brimming with light energy rained down on her.
Cilombo, who'd carelessly gotten beaten into the dirt, teleported away. The heavy punches made the earth tremble, leaving a deep fist-shaped dent in the ground.
Knowing she couldn't hope to beat the muscle-bound giant, Cilombo used her shadow clone technique. Four clones surrounded Jostar and Tiga.
Maybe it was because of their training, but Tiga didn't hesitate to turn red and charge at the two Cílombos in front of him.
Well, Jostar did the same.
With their defenses greatly increased, the two Ultras ignored the flashy, harmless attacks and focused on pounding the clones.
Tiga's crimson fist struck Cilombo in the stomach, making her dismiss her clones immediately.
Cilombo stopped playing that trick and used her teleportation again.
If her attacks were just a little stronger, maybe she could break through Jostar's defense.
But even with Daigo Happy Form boosting Tiga's defense, he still couldn't withstand the relentless attacks.
As the flashing red light urged Tiga to hurry, Daigo spotted Immobilization Beam in the massive list of skills.
The moment Cilombo launched her attack, he hit her with one.
Unable to move a muscle, Cilombo could only watch as the muscle-bound Ultra approached.
Then, in an instant, her world sank into endless darkness.
If you have time, toss me a vote. If you don't, go wash up and get some sleep. I'll hug my single self, poor thing.
