Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

The collapsed intersection was cracked, the soil was stained black by smoke, and there were claw marks left by monsters everywhere. This was the place where Qingxuan was captured. Ajiu lay unconscious in a pit next to it.

"Wake up, A-Jiu? Are you alright?"

Yao Hui quickly stepped forward to help A Jiu up, while Yong Yi Chun Jing emitted healing light energy to help A Jiu wake up faster. When A Jiu opened her eyes, she found that there were suddenly many more people around her. Not knowing the situation, she was suddenly aroused and recalled what had happened before.

"Yaohui! Qingxuan has been attacked by the Tsuchikage! You have to go save him right away!"

“I know, Ajiu, I also want to go and save Qingxuan right now, but Luo Yi has already escaped. I need you to tell me what exactly happened back then.”

After calming down a bit, Ah-Jiu took in the damaged surroundings and the gloomy expressions on everyone's faces, and roughly understood the urgency of the situation. There was no time to waste now.

"After capturing Luo Yi at the mine, I walked with Qingxuan and wanted to ask about the Light Magic Spirit Stone, but suddenly the ground collapsed, and the Earth Shadow turned into a black shadow and attacked us. My last memory is that Qingxuan was fighting back against the Earth Shadow, but I don't remember much after that. When I woke up, I saw you."

Sean felt terrible after hearing this. He thought things would be over once he captured Luo Yi, but he and everyone else underestimated Luo Yi's abilities. Being able to revive the Tsuchikage was already quite remarkable, but he was also able to create another Tsuchikage monster in just a few days. Is this really the kind of power that humans can possess?

One Tsuchikage was already difficult to deal with, and now another Kurotsuchi has appeared, and Qingxuan has been captured. The only one left who can fight the monster is Zeta, and the situation has fallen into an unprecedented disadvantage.

His injuries had been initially treated, but the more he thought about it, the more pessimistic he became. Sean was extremely anxious. Just then, something suddenly triggered his consciousness, something that felt very familiar. But when he went to check it out, he felt uneasy.

"Ah Jiu, is the Light Stone still on Qing Xuan? Can you still use the Light Stone to find Qing Xuan's location?"

Yao Hui could tell that A Jiu was upset because of Qing Xuan's matter, but these were special times, and the overall situation should be the priority. Yao Hui and everyone else needed A Jiu's help and needed her to be strong.

"Um, Yaohui, it seems we can't find Qingxuan using the Light Magic Stone." Sean's voice suddenly came from behind. Yaohui and the others looked back and saw that Sean was holding a Light Magic Stone. He had dug it out of the ground after sensing something earlier. The Light Magic Stone was emitting a magical glow, confirming that it was not a fake.

"Did Luo Yilian anticipate this? Or did he leave the Light Magic Stone behind for some other purpose?"

There was no time to dwell on their doubts. Now that the Light Magic Stone wasn't on Qingxuan, it meant that Yaohui and the others would have to find another way to locate him. As for Luo Yi's suggestion, Yaohui would only consider it as a last resort. If there were other ways to save Qingxuan, Yaohui would definitely try them.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's find another way. I'll leave the research on Earth Release counters to you guys at the guild. I'll go and investigate the surrounding area to see if I can find any clues left by Luo Yi."

Given the limited resources and capabilities, the upcoming mission will be very challenging, but Haruki and Zeta will still forge ahead. Although the final result will most likely be a situation where they fight two against one, this was already within Haruki and Zeta's expectations, so there is nothing to complain about.

“I’m sorry about Qingxuan, Yaohui, but I should be able to help with tracking Luo Yi. When I had the conflict with Luo Yi just now, I left some soil marks on his clothes. As long as he hasn’t removed them, I can use my magic to determine his location.”

Sean extended his hand and activated a land blessing spell, creating arrows of light that pointed in a distant direction. This help was a godsend, and Haruki was overjoyed. "You're so kind, Sean! You've been a huge help!"

Ajiu also looked at Sean's situation, but unlike Yaohui's surprise at Sean's magic, Ajiu discovered that when Sean activated the Earth Blessing, the Light Magic Stone seemed to resonate and condense light energy, emitting a purer energy fluctuation. This anomaly made Ajiu, who had always been in contact with the legendary magic book, very sensitive.

"Wait, Sean! You keep the Earth Blessing spell running, Haruki, show me the Yugi Crystal."

Ah Jiu forcibly suppressed her alarmed feelings with reason. This was an action concerning her mission, and Ah Jiu could not allow herself to act on emotion.

Raising his hand, he summoned the legendary magic book with a halo. Runes appeared and transformed into a beam of light, which was injected into the Pure Crystal of Courage and Righteousness, causing the blue crystal to leave on its own. As if guided, it flew towards the Light Stone and merged and sublimated with it.

The Light Magic Stone underwent tempering in Sean's hands, releasing a bright light without causing any damage. It eventually transformed into a Blue Pattern Crystal Bracelet, revealing the magic from the Pure Crystal of Courage. The original blue crystal chip of the Pure Crystal of Courage was now covered with a pattern, which showed the mark "a".

"So it seems you are the chosen partner, hero, Sean."

The sun-drenched land is revitalized from its ruins, and the rocky caves, piled with stones, announce the arrival of shadows with a resounding boom.

Tu Ying pushed aside the boulder blocking the cave, and Luo Yi entered to find Qing Xuan locked inside. Chains formed by piled-up rocks bound Qing Xuan's hands and feet, forcing him to sit on a rock to maintain his consciousness.

"What exactly are you trying to do! Don't think you can use me to make Haruki and Zeta admit defeat! The Hero will never let you get away with this!"

Upon regaining consciousness, Qingxuan felt an unusual rage upon seeing Luo Yi. He struggled to break free of the chains binding him, though to no avail.

"I think you've misunderstood something, Earth Master. I never intended for the hero to lose. On the contrary, everything I did was to help him win! To enable him to overcome all difficulties and win decisively, if he truly possesses the legendary strength and qualities."

Luo Yi didn't care much about Qing Xuan's resistance. He circled around Qing Xuan and chatted with him face to face. It was a wonderful enjoyment to appreciate the impotent rage of the Earth Master while frankly sharing his ideals.

"My goal isn't to conquer or seize; I only care about witnessing the legend descend once more. Aren't the legends of heroes so enviable and inspiring? Don't you want to see the familiar stories unfold right before your eyes?"

"You control monsters to destroy everything just because of this! You destroy everyone's homes for your selfish dream? You're a scumbag!"

"Don't say that, Earth Mage. Didn't you also aspire to become an Earth Mage because you admired the previous one? Don't you also like the legend of the hero and fantasize about becoming a hero yourself? Since a simple-minded kid like you who can't distinguish reality can become an Earth Mage, maybe I can become a hero in the future? We're really similar in that respect!"

"I'll never be the same kind of person as you! I will definitely protect everyone!"

The agitated and angry Qingxuan took advantage of Luo Yi's face coming close to shout, and rammed into him headfirst, hitting him on the nose, causing Luo Yi to stagger back in pain.

After Luo Yi calmed down, he walked straight towards Qing Xuan, but Qing Xuan was not afraid at all, and his eyes were still angry and determined.

Luo Yi raised his hand and pointed at Qing Xuan's head, looking down at the imprisoned Qing Xuan. He activated magic with his finger to form a black circle, then sprayed water on Qing Xuan's face until he couldn't open his eyes and his head was completely wet.

Luo Yi made himself happy with a joke, and looking at Qing Xuan whose hair was dripping water, Luo Yi stopped the magic and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, a guy who can't even protect himself is thinking about protecting others. How foolish and ridiculous! You're just like your father in this respect, Qingxuan."
