Chapter 4 The Birth of the First Kuuga
Chapter 4 The Birth of the First Kuuga
The top of the moon.
Torches were burning everywhere in the village at night.
All the Lindo gathered in the square at this time, and beside the altar in the center of the square, the sorcerer stood in front of the circular stone rows and danced an ancient mysterious dance.
Under the light of the full moon, hundreds of figures sitting cross-legged on the ground were silent, their faces dimmed by the flickering flames of the altar.
It all seemed extremely strange.
Kawahara sat in the front row of the crowd with the village chief and the elders. He looked at the sacrificial dance in front of him with a strange expression, his eyes lingering on the howling sorcerer.
But in fact, even he himself didn't know what he was looking at.
And after that, perhaps because Kawahara's motionless gaze was too noticeable, the dancing sorcerer also looked towards him while shaking his head, and the eyes illuminated by the flames flashed with cold light for some reason.
Kawahara was suddenly startled.
But when he looked closely again, the sorcerer had turned his head back and continued dancing around the ring of stones.
What happened just now seemed like an illusion to him.
Anyway, I don’t know if it’s because the scene of this primitive sacrifice is too weird, or because the sorcerer is too weird, Kawahara always feels that the surroundings are eerie.
Even though there are a lot of people here.
Kawahara began to lose focus, looking around with an expressionless face.
This body of his had very good eyesight. Even in the dim light of the night, he could clearly see the expressions on the faces of the hundreds of people present.
In fact, he seemed to be the only one who felt strange or even scared about this sacrifice.
The candidate fighters who were also standing in the front row were as nervous as they were waiting for the results during the day.
Kawahara looked at each soldier and selected the one he thought was "Rick" in his mind.
And at this time.
His heartbeat seemed to be controlled, speeding up uncontrollably and forcing him to sense another presence.
Kawahara immediately looked in that direction.
Then, in the dark night, in the shadowy woods, a girl in a white sleeveless dress appeared in the shadows.
——No. B1!
He instinctively wanted to get up and chase after the person.
Just as he straightened his back, Kawahara realized the current situation and it seemed that it was not suitable to chase after that Gurongi.
What's more, Gurongi suddenly appeared in the center of the village, even on an important sacrificial night.
——This incident is enough to cause panic.
——It’s not suitable to make a big fuss.
Kawahara suppressed his emotions for the time being and stopped moving, just staring straight at that spot in the woods.
If B1 suddenly appeared to cause trouble at this time...
Suddenly, as if she noticed his gaze, the girl in the shadow under the tree turned her head slightly and looked towards him.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
And this moment.
Kawahara was suddenly stunned when he saw her face clearly.
As if realizing something, Kawahara's eyes gradually widened, with an indescribable look of shock and speculation lingering in his eyes.
Kawahara suddenly looked at the sorcerer in front of him!
The swaying sorcerer slowly turned her head as she moved, and Kawahara could clearly see the tattoo patterns on the other half of her face.
When Kawahara met this sorcerer during the day, he did not pay much attention to the tattoos on her face. He just thought that it might be the totem of the "great witch" in primitive times.
But then I met B1 and saw the white tattoo on his forehead.
The memory of Gurongi is also slowly awakened.
Kawahara vaguely remembered that all Gurongi seemed to have tattoo-like patterns on their bodies, which were like their identification.
No wonder he always felt that this sorcerer was weird.
but……
No way?
Maybe it's just a coincidence?
Kawahara was confused for a moment.
He looked at No. B1 in the woods, and then at the sorcerer who was performing a strange dance. He was worried that these two people would suddenly join forces to deal a fatal blow to the Linduo village.
At this time, the sorcerer had slowly stopped his strange dance.
She sat cross-legged in front of the circular stone column, chanting a string of completely incomprehensible spells.
The village chief also whispered the question: "May I ask what is God's will?"
In an instant, the atmosphere changed.
All the people in the group were tense and nervous.
In response to his question, the sorcerer with a gloomy look stood up, took out the hot bone spur from the burning fire on the altar, and placed it on the turtle shell in front of him.
The turtle shell cracked due to the high temperature, and the crack marks were the "will of God" that the sorcerer needed to interpret.
Kawahara leaned over to look at the turtle shell.
But after looking at it for a long time, he felt that it was just a piece of junk caused by physical changes, and he had no idea what this thing could be interpreted from.
But the sorcerer said slowly with a mysterious look on his face: "It's a battle. In this battle, the one who strikes first will win!"
Kawahara now doubts that she is fooling Rindo.
Lin Duo took the initiative to fight Gurongi...
Isn't that just throwing meat buns at a dog?
It is undeniable that this group of naive Linduo are really easy to be fooled.
The words of the sorcerer aroused the excitement of the elders. The village chief was obviously unable to hold back and asked with rapid breathing: "Then who is the warrior recognized by the gods?!"
Hearing this question, Kawahara's heart suddenly tightened.
He was already thinking at this moment -
If this sorcerer is really Gurongi in disguise, and intends to find a random Rindo to replace Kuuga, can he use his name as a "warrior" to deny this result and re-elect the real Kuuga "Rik"?
After all, judging from the past two days, it seems that his status is quite high as he was able to become the "Newly Born Kuuga"?
Kawahara had already imagined this possibility in his mind.
And the next moment.
The sorcerer shouted out the name of the "warrior chosen by God".
"——His name is Rick!"...
"Eh?"
Kawahara immediately looked at the sorcerer with a dazed expression.
"Rick" was elected in this way.
Could it be that he actually misunderstood the sorcerer, and this weird guy was really interpreting "God's will"?
Also stunned with him were the other Lindos around him, and a somewhat noisy whispering broke out uncontrollably.
Kawahara noticed that most people seemed quite disappointed with the result, and there was even some ridicule in the quiet discussions.
Remembering what Xiaoren said during the day, "That's a very strange person", Kawahara immediately looked carefully, not even paying attention to the existence of Gurongi B1, and planned to take a closer look at what kind of person the legendary first generation Kuuga was.
"Okay! Rick, come out!"
The village chief shouted to a group of young warriors.
Then, a somewhat thin young man walked out with a nervous look and stood in front of the crowd.
He was not a very strong warrior.
He might even be thinner than Kawahara, who used to be a corporate slave.
Moreover, he was not confident. Amid the resentful voices of the group of young warriors who failed to be selected, the young man seemed a little restrained.
Kawahara: "..."
The "strong warrior image" in his mind was immediately torn to pieces by him, and then replaced by the image of this weak young man.
Kawahara held his forehead.
——How could this be!
……
But that's it.
No one objected to the sorcerer's decision, because he was the warrior chosen by God.
Although this "warrior" was unexpected and even disappointing to everyone.
The village chief called Rick over and took out a crystal clear red gem from the jar next to him.
"This is the sacred stone 'Yamadam' that has been passed down through the generations in this village for a long, long time. I will now pass it on to you. Take it, young warrior - Riku!"
The village chief solemnly handed the spirit stone to Rick.
The young warrior took a deep breath and took the spirit stone with both hands with the same respect. At this time, the sorcerer next to him began to scream and dance the weird sacrificial dance again.
When the village chief took out the Yamadam spirit stone, Kawahara's eyes were fixed on it, and there was a desire in his heart that made him want to get this gem.
But this desire is not very strong.
It's like when you're thirsty and want to drink a glass of water, but you won't die of thirst if you don't drink it within a short period of time.
It was like he already had half a cup of water in his hand, and he only needed to add another half cup to make it full. If he added a full cup -
A pair of dark eyes suddenly flashed in Kawahara's mind.
It seems a bit scary.
thump--
His heartbeat increased due to fear.
thump--
Wait, that doesn't seem to be his heartbeat.
thump--
Kawahara looked at Riku who was standing on the altar.
The Yamadam Spirit Stone that Rick had held in his hand before had melted into his body like life. Then his heartbeat began to beat violently, with a force that was not something a weak human heart could produce.
Rick's body, in the darkness and the light of the burning flames, is gradually undergoing indescribable changes.
The originally thin body bulged into the shape of strong muscles, the skin turned black, and then the upper body was covered with a layer of red reinforced skin like a shell.
A pair of sharp golden horns grew on the top of his forehead, his eye sockets were suddenly stretched open and quickly replaced by a pair of huge red compound eyes, and then his mouth opened into the shape of an arthropod insect.
Riku's body transformation did not stop until the Aguru Belt, which was materialized from the Yamadam Stone, appeared around his waist.
At this moment, the people around him were already screaming in fear because of his transformation. After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes that a good Linduo suddenly turned into a monster.
"……What's wrong?"
But Rick himself doesn't seem to have felt the change in himself yet.
He was still wondering why the spirit stone disappeared, and the next moment, those people screamed at him.
Rick looked up blankly and saw that the young people who used to laugh at and ridicule him now had more or less timid and fearful expressions on their faces.
Even the village chief himself took two steps back.
Only one person was staring at him with shining eyes.
Rick looked at the man.
From that person's dark eyes, Rick, with his extraordinary vision at the moment, saw his own image reflected in the other person's pupils.
He turned into a red monster with a scary appearance.
……
After witnessing the birth of "Kuuga".
The figure in the woods withdrew her gaze expressionlessly, but before leaving, she casually glanced at the resurrected warrior.
With a meaningless smile on his lips, B1 turned and left Linduo's tribe.
……
……
Sorcerer: This Riku is too weak, so let’s choose him as Kuuga!
Rick: For everyone, for my sister, the seal is coming!
……
It is worth mentioning that the first time Riku transformed into Kuuga was in the "Red All-Powerful Form", and he did not seem to have appeared in the White Newborn Form.
So in the first episode, Spider Gurongi wondered to the fifth generation's white Kuuga, "Why did the horns become smaller?"
To be honest, the newborn little horn is so cute~
