Seeing this scene, countless viewers cheered for Red in their hearts.
And the battle on the screen had reached its most intense moment.
【On the screen, Red completely ignored the injury on his shoulder.
He continued to engage in a fierce battle with the Squid Monster using the power of his red All-Round Form.
However, in this fight, Red faced an unprecedented disadvantage against the Squid Monster, Kiiga.
The Squid Monster's defense was incredibly strong. Red's All-Round Form, normally his most powerful, couldn't inflict any damage on Kiiga. He could only passively endure the ancient Grongi monster's furious attacks.
Ultimately, he couldn't dodge in time. The fiery red armor was once again mercilessly attacked by Kiiga's ink.
“Boom! Boom!——”
A series of deafening explosions echoed.
Red's fiery red body slammed against the large shipping container behind him.
In an instant, countless shocking cracks appeared on the large shipping container, shattering into countless fragments that flew outward.
Red had completely lost his ability to fight.
“Kuuga, you're done!”
Gazing at Red, lying on the ground unable to stand up for a long time, the Squid Monster uttered a triumphant and joyful sound. He slowly walked forward, intending to completely eliminate the ancient enemy of the Grongi clan.
But at this critical moment, the Squid Monster Kiiga's abdomen suddenly erupted with a large amount of steam.
“Tsk, my active time has reached its limit, hasn't it?”
Slowly lowering his head, feeling the temperature of his body reaching the limit of his endurance, the Squid Monster Kiiga shook his head regretfully, then said to the nearly unconscious Red.
“Kuuga, you're lucky to have survived this time.”
With that, Kiiga turned and left without hesitation. The figure, still emitting white steam, faded into the distance with the sound of footsteps until it disappeared into the Upper New York Bay.
Only Red remained, clenching his fist and slamming it into the ground, venting his frustration at the defeat and his inner confusion.
Because he had no idea how to defeat a monster as powerful as the Squid Monster.
Fortunately, this frustration and confusion didn't last long.
Soon, with the comfort of Johnny Stone, who rushed to the scene, Red regained his composure. Then, he learned from Gwen Stacy about a newly deciphered piece of ancient text.
“Kuuga's new form is a warrior who wields a sword and cuts down evil with the power to break the earth!”
After receiving this crucial information.
Red immediately went to Johnny Stone and began sword training with his assistance.
And he quickly realized that the only way to overcome fear is to face it bravely!
...
At the same time.
While Red was training.
The Squid Monster Kiiga returned to the Grongi gathering place in Hell's Kitchen with a cheerful mood.
“Kiiga, it seems your ritual progress is going quite well.”
Baluba slowly raised her head and asked calmly, noticing Kiiga's cheerful expression.
“Well, it's alright,” Kiiga shook the counter bracelet on his wrist and smiled, “I've hunted 161 out of the 162 Limdos needed for the ritual. Only one more and I can complete the ritual and advance to the Garu group!”
“Only one more, huh...”
Hearing this, Baluba immediately picked up the brass writing board on the table. She glanced at the ritual rules and time limits written in Grongi characters, lightly raised her slender eyebrows, and asked with a hint of surprise.
“Your speed is indeed impressive. You've nearly achieved the required number of sacrifices in 18 hours within the 52-hour time limit. With this efficiency, you're indeed qualified to become the first Grongi to advance from the Me group to the Garu group.”
“But why did you choose to stop and return here when you were only one sacrifice away?”
“Simple, I intend to use Kuuga as the final sacrifice for the ritual!”
The Squid Monster Kiiga clenched his fists and shouted with an excited tone: “I fought against the new Kuuga today. He's a complete waste. He doesn't even have one percent of Rick's strength. Such an Adept is not worthy of being the enemy of our Grongi clan.”
“Therefore, I will hunt him down, make him the final sacrifice for my advancement to the Garu group!”
“At the same time, I will lay the most solid foundation for the future ‘Dark Game’ and ‘White Dark Game’ and become the one who summons the ‘Ultimate Darkness’!!”
Listening to Kiiga's arrogant words.
A faint smile appeared on Baluba's face, which had previously been devoid of expression.
“Is that so... then I look forward to that day.”】
As Kiiga's arrogant declaration echoed across the sky, people outside also began to discuss it:
——“Wow! This Grongi monster called Kiiga is too arrogant, isn't he?!”
——“I think that's normal. Didn't you see how Red was almost defeated by him and lost his confidence? If it weren't for Officer Johnny's comfort and the new form information deciphered by Gwen, Red might not have recovered his confidence so quickly. With that kind of strength, he's bound to be arrogant!!”
——“More than that, I'm more interested in what Kiiga said about the ‘Dark Game’ and the ‘White Dark Game’. What are they exactly? It feels like all the monsters are working towards completing these two rituals!!”
——“The person above, be confident! Remove the ‘feel’!”
——“Who cares what they are? Anyway, as long as we keep watching, we'll eventually learn the truth!”
——“That's right! Instead of worrying about these mysteries, we might as well enjoy the upcoming fight. I've been looking forward to Kuuga's new form for a long time!!”
