Tiga executed a high-altitude jump and, with a flip in midair, quickly left his original position. He landed in the distance and, still feeling the aftershock, rubbed his foot on the ground twice as if to dispel the countless frustrations that just raced through his mind.
Following his leap,
the fallen body of the beast at the original spot thunderously collapsed, turning into numerous streaks of light that surged into the clouds and formed a dark cloud mass drifting into the distance.
Spark Dolls were also a kind of creature.
Facing the terror of Logic's ultimate move, death loomed over them, spreading fear.
They chose to flee as well.
Tiga hesitated for a moment because he was very clear in his heart that these Spark Dolls were creatures living within the clouds, and it was even possible that their existence predated humanity.
It was precisely because of human development that their living environment was disturbed, leading to the rampage of the Spark Doll Gazort.
Who is in the right?
Tiga was caught in hesitation, but the moment he turned to see the devastated city, he swung his arm without any hesitation. The glowing blade howled as it slashed towards that mass of dark clouds.
His face might have shown confusion.
But more than that, determination.
I am a Giant.
But I am also human!!
"Chi!"
The exceedingly sharp light blade instantly split the dark cloud mass in two, and the continual crackling sounds echoed. A tremendous wail rang out.
The next moment.
Spark Doll monster Gazort emerged from the clouds, flapping its wings and landing heavily on the surface of the sea.
Whether it was the terrifying impact,
or the spreading arcs of bright white electricity,
the entire ocean shook with them, countless fish floated belly-up on the surface, too many to count, what a spectacular sight!
"Is this the New Energy Fishing Rod that the Fishing Enthusiast so dearly wished for?"
Logic was filled with emotion and then shifted his gaze to Tiga, who was facing off against Gazort. He touched his temple and said, "Xiluo, it's your turn to perform!"
Xiluo's voice resonated at once.
"Battle mode activating..."
"Three-Body Chip operational..."
"Scanning and analyzing..."
"Battle Executor: Unknown luminous energy entity!"
"Combat opponent: Beast class!"
Tiga's goose egg eyes flickered, and then he spread his arms, aiming at the monster Gazort, with some light beginning to shine from his chest.
These familiar movements.
This familiar scene.
Spark Doll Gazort screamed in terror. It remembered that ant-like human on the ground and the oncoming high-temperature heat.
It instantly flapped its wings and instinctively shielded its face, covering its head and face tightly.
But the expected heat did not strike.
Instead,
it felt a thud on the back of its head, as a swift and powerful right roundhouse kick struck it hard!
"A sneak attack?"
Kuruma Megumi in the Victory Team's command center almost spit out her water in astonishment, her eyes wide with disbelief. She witnessed Tiga use a feint, getting up close for a right roundhouse kick, stealthily striking the Spark Doll Gazort in the head.
Leaving it buzzing.
Munakata, who was alongside, couldn't help but remark, "Who would have thought, who would have thought, this Tiga has been on Earth for just a few days and has already picked up bad habits... Sigh, no telling which sneaky Earthling he learned from..."
"All I can pray for now is that Tiga picked up some decent techniques and doesn't learn any bizarre stuff."
Kuruma Megumi covered her face helplessly with her hand, already unable to imagine what it would look like if Tiga, the Giant of Light she trusted to save Earth, were to execute some saucy moves. What would that scene be like?
Tiga: Crow takes a plane!
Tiga: Old ox pushes a cart!
Tiga: Blizzard destroys the parking lot!
Tiga: Flashing Poison Dragon Drill!
Kuruma Megumi: (ーー゛)
Fortunately, Logic wasn't such a tease, so the combat AI Xiluo he designed was very serious.
With a right whip kick from Tiga, a surprise attack sent Spark Dolls Gazort reeling, its head buzzing, wings quivering helplessly, its huge body thumping backward, nearly losing balance.
Here comes Tiga again!
He leapt into the air, raising his right leg high and slamming his knee from the bottom up against Spark Dolls Gazort's chin, with a snapping sound that seemed to include something shattering.
"Huh!"
Raising his right hand high, Tiga fell heavily with his weight, and slapped it down hard on Gazort's head.
A combo of quick strikes.
Gazort kneeled on the spot.
The thrilling feeling made monster Gazort almost cry out; it hurriedly made the same plea for mercy with Logic, "I surrender! I acknowledge the boss! Please stop hitting me!"
But its head had taken a heavy blow, which made its speech intermittent and hardly intelligible, so to Tiga, its words sounded like this.
"Ying ying ying ying..."
Ying your mom's head!
Tiga performed a forward somersault and landed heavily on Gazort, the ocean's surface instantly raising a huge wave. Stepping on one wing with each foot, he then started swinging his little fists relentlessly, unleashing the legendary Cosmic Fist Technique that had long been lost in the universe.
Cosmic Fist Technique!
Cosmic Cloak Wild Hammer Fist Technique!
Gazort's howls of pain never stopped, its head buzzing incessantly. Plainly speaking, ever since it saw Tiga's third eye, it had been getting beaten non-stop.
Rage!
Gazort struggled to open its wings, trying to get up, but under Xiluo's training, Tiga's riding skills were incredibly precise. With each foot planted firmly, Gazort couldn't muster any leverage, not even able to buckle.
It could only rage powerlessly.
Its mouth open, spitting out saliva—no, spitting out energy spheres all around.
Meanwhile, Tiga held his hands high above his head, bringing them together as terrifying energy gathered. Following a heavy swipe, the dreadful blade struck Gazort's neck.
He felt a pang of regret.
Why didn't this thing have horns?
With his formidable strike, there was a loud boom, sparks flew, and Gazort exploded with a mournful cry, completely vanishing from the ocean surface.
Tiga slowly got up from the sea level, gazing into the distance, his chest rising high and then sinking again as he took deep breaths.
This battle.
He punched the monster one hundred thirty-seven times and kicked it six times.
The red light didn't come on.
There was no need to switch modes.
Energy expenditure was at eleven percent.
The monster was defeated in thirty-four seconds.
This outcome greatly shocked Tiga, and he couldn't recover from his astonishment for a long time.
So.
This is what it feels like to be a warrior?
Exhilarating!
It's just too exhilarating!
