The knight suddenly swung his arm, a flash of snow-white light, forcing back the enemy in front of him.
The half-demon who had grabbed his shoulder earlier sneered, his claws squeaking as he gripped the leather sheath on his shoulder.
"Ha, this leather suit offers absolutely no protection. What's the point?"
"Do you enjoy playing hero games, Kamen Rider? Unfortunately, some Riders don't end up in such a good way!"
"Ah! That's absolutely right!"
Suddenly, a clear male voice from above broke into the conversation, attracting everyone's attention.
The half-demon and the knight looked up.
Two people stood on the third floor of the shopping street, where the moonlight shone down.
The person on the left is wearing black and red armor. The armor has sharp edges and spikes that seem to rise like flames, making it a flamboyant and unrestrained style.
His helmet also had compound eyes like the Green Knight's, but they were a cold cyan color, which, combined with his black and red armor, made him stand out.
The Blue-Eyed Knight stood tall and straight, his hands clasped in a fist, like a noble mage. He was draped in the colors of darkness and blood, and looked both righteous and evil.
The woman beside him, on the other hand, evokes images of the snow-covered landscapes of Hokkaido.
This is a knight in pure white.
The white knight's armor was constructed from layers of plates. Unlike the Blue-Eyed Knight's medieval-style armor, the white knight looked more like a gaunt ancient daimyo. Even his face was covered with a demon mask, whose eyes were much larger and emitted a terrifying red light.
The white knight's cloak fluttered in the night breeze, its metallic silver reflecting the moonlight, making it dazzling.
At his waist hung a long sword with a snow-white scabbard inlaid with gold trim, adding to his noble bearing.
ethnic atmosphere.
Upon hearing the Blue-Eyed Knight's words, he helplessly raised his hand to cover his mask.
Looking at the stunned half-demons, the Blue-Eyed Knight put one hand on his hip and shouted, "You strange creatures! We will protect the peace of this city!"
"I am Kamen Rider—" He waved his hand in front of his eyes, as if wearing an invisible detective hat, "Detective!"
Upon hearing this, all the half-demons looked like they were thinking, "What the hell is this?" and stood there dumbfounded.
"As my name suggests, I am a detective!"
The knight named Detcliffe patted the shoulder of the snow-white knight beside him and said, "And this one! Is Kamen Rider—Flare Snow!!"
"He's my partner! He's the Detective Knight!"
The knight named Freysno covered his mask tightly, not daring to loosen it for a moment, as if he felt extremely ashamed even wearing the mask.
"Today, we have only one purpose in coming here!" The detective knight waved his hand sharply, his voice full of vigor, sounding like a rather upright person.
But in his next sentence, his tone suddenly turned cold, filled with an unyielding murderous intent.
"That is, to kill all of you."
Many half-demons suddenly shuddered.
Old Wolf was the first to react, pointing at the two knights and roaring, "Kill them! Otherwise, we'll be in even more trouble! Attack!"
After saying that, he was the first to express his opinion, his whole body sprouting long gray-black hair, and sharp claws emerging from the tips of his fingers.
"Stubborn fool! Do you see that, Fresno? The enemy actually dares to fight back!"
The detective knight, also known as Dou Tang, snorted coldly and leaped down from the height.
【Fire Rope Crown】
【Soul Chain Flame Soul】
He made a fist with his hands, and suddenly, two flames emerged from them. The flames grew longer and longer, turning into two long whips. The raging fire illuminated his body, making him look like a demon god surrounded by flames.
As he fell, he swung the Flame Rope, pulling the lunging wolf back.
The old wolf was struck by the fiery rope and howled as it fell to the ground, rolling several times before the flames finally went out.
The green knight, realizing that this was likely reinforcements, immediately leaped over and landed beside Dou Tang in a few quick steps.
Dou Tang landed gracefully, his hands trembling on the ground with fiery ropes. The ends of the ropes slowly rose like snakes, swaying left and right as if surveying the other half-demons present.
【The Crown of Spirits】
[Spiritually complete]
To fully indulge his passion for cosplaying Kamen Rider, Dou Tang used several of the Crown's abilities, which was also to conceal his identity as Mr. Ren.
Although it's not really necessary, but... the knights and the transformation users should keep each other's identities a secret; that's a basic rule! It will only be revealed near the end!
The half-demons were taken aback for a moment, then realized that the three knights in front of them were undoubtedly their greatest enemies. The half-demons who had previously stood by and watched became interested, as they were much stronger than the half-demons who had attacked the green knight.
After transforming, they became even more robust, with more beast-like features. Some even reached nearly three meters in height, their bodies covered in thick, bluish-gray hides, making them look like complete monsters.
Dou Tang brandished the Flame Rope, which whooshed around his forearm, covering his entire arm in flames.
Xue Qing also gracefully landed, her cloak billowing in the wind, exuding elegance. Facing the monsters before her, she maintained her grace and slowly drew her treasured sword.
The precious sword was drawn, gleaming with a clear light like moonlight. He stood proudly with one hand holding the sword, slightly raising his head to look at the half-demons surrounding him.
Dou Tang patted the arm of the green knight beside him and asked, "How are you? Can you still fight?"
The green knight first instinctively touched his arm to see if he was burned, then said, "No problem."
His voice was very clear and youthful, and you could tell he was a very energetic person.
Dou Tang nodded, looked at the half-demons in front of him, and bowed slightly.
No further words were needed; the air was thick with the burning fighting spirit. All the half-demons had their eyes shining, their fighting spirit boiling. Not a single one of them wanted to run away or stay out of it.
This is also what Dou Tang wants.
[The Killing Nature of the Serpent and Dragon]
[As the usurper of the Great God's bloodthirsty nature, his heart is filled with boundless rage, which manifests as energy that circulates throughout his body. As this ignites his fighting spirit, those nearby will become increasingly agitated, their malevolent thoughts surging forth.]
This crown originally belonged to Taira no Masakado. According to legend, he possessed the bloodline of the Great Serpent God, which gave him boundless fighting spirit and the ability to inspire the soldiers around him.
But Todoroki was a god-slayer; Ito Okami died at his hands, and Taira no Masakado's crown ultimately came to his disposal.
What we want is for all the half-demons here to be captured, not one of them can escape.
Without further ado, Dou Tang charged headlong into the half-demons in front of him.
Why is Chapter 37 written so excitingly about killing off the weaklings?
Hair, carapace, thick skin, and then flesh.
Pairs of gleaming eyes, a chilling murderous intent that seemed to freeze one's spine, and howling roars echoing in one's ears.
This wasn't Xueqing's first time facing a monster, but it was the first time she had encountered such a ferocious enemy. Previously, there was only one type of humanoid monster: those with intelligence, who, aside from certain habits, were no different from humans.
And
These half-demons before us were different. They possessed intense killing intent and madness, appearing as if the souls of wild beasts had been forcibly crammed into human bodies, immersing them in pain and instinct. Their beastly nature was slowly breaking through their fragile human shells, causing their bodies to mutate, transforming them into evil beings that were neither human nor beast.
Xue Qing brandished her long sword and charged into the crowd.
His blade was wreathed in a chilling aura, and it was unstoppable wherever it went. Neither sharp claws nor thick hides could stop his blade. As a bodyguard who could protect Nurarihyon from the threat of monsters throughout Tokyo all by himself, his combat power was far beyond that of these ordinary monsters who had turned into humans.
To him, these guys were nothing but a rabble.
Wherever he went, blood splattered everywhere. His sharp sword cut down all the enemies in front of him, sometimes leaving not just wounds, but severing their entire limbs.
During the fierce battle, he also took a moment to glance at Dou Tang beside him.
Dou Tang ignited his hands with fire and charged into the enemy ranks. Every attack from those half-demons was blocked by the fiery ropes tightly wrapped around his arms. Although the half-demons' claws were sharp, they could only scatter a series of sparks and could not harm Dou Tang's body.
Dou Tang showed no mercy, unleashing a barrage of powerful straight punches that forced the half-demons to fight back. Sometimes, his punches would create a net-like effect that completely enveloped his opponents, leaving them no choice but to face his fists directly and try to block them. In the end, he would find an opening and send them flying with a single punch.
In terms of how to fight against humanoid opponents, the half-demons are significantly inferior to Dou Tang.
"Drink up—!" The green knight rushed out from beside Dou Tang and fought alongside him, throwing a flying punch that struck a person hard in the cheek, sending him rolling several times.
The streets were filled with screams as the half-demons fought with bloodlust, none of them even thinking of retreating or escaping. Logically speaking, fighting in such a place would be suicidal and would not conform to the half-demons' usual rule of keeping a low profile. But strangely, none of the half-demons considered running away or staying out of it. The blood surging from the depths of their hearts drove their bodies, making them lose their reason.
The evil thoughts in his mind kept churning, and a thin layer of red smoke covered his eyes. Looking at the world through the red smoke, the three Kamen Riders' glowing compound eyes were particularly eye-catching, like... prey.
This is exactly what Dou Tang wanted.
Surrounded by the half-demons, the three shifted positions as they moved. Often, when Dou Tang would spin and retreat, Xue Qing would rush out from his side wielding her long sword. Or, if the green knight dodged and missed his chance to strike, Dou Tang would appear from the side and punch the enemy who had made a mistake.
Although the three of them were far outnumbered by the half-demons, they never fell behind and even fought steadily. Blood pooled on the ground beside Xue Qing, with severed half-demon limbs scattered all over the place.
Strangely, even after their limbs were severed, these half-demons, who originally followed the instinct of wild beasts to run away when they couldn't win, still rushed forward with red eyes and launched an attack without fear of death.
This puzzled the Green Knight. Had these guys suddenly changed their minds and were really going to fight him to the death?
And... where did these two riders come from? Could it be that Kamen Riders really exist in this world? And I'm just... a fake rider?
Watching the two knights' natural yet fierce attacks during their battle, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Oh no, oh no, have I become an imposter?
Then, he was suddenly shocked to see the most brutal scene he had witnessed in all his time in Urayasu.
If Xue Qing's act of severing the limbs and disemboweling the half-demon was merely ordinary ruthlessness, then the man whose hands transformed into fiery fists was simply a demon!
Suddenly, Dou Tang grabbed a half-demon, threw him with both hands, and then unleashed a pair of fiery fists!
"Boom bang bang-"
Each punch sent the half-demon trembling and screaming in agony as he flew backward. Dou Tang followed up with a long stride and delivered another punch in mid-air.
"Oh!"
The punch struck the opponent's throat directly, silencing his final scream, and the half-demon's body lurched sideways.
As the half-demon was about to fall to the ground, Dou Tang followed up again and threw another punch at its face!
"Bang!!!"
The half-demon's entire head was smashed open by a single punch, splattering blood everywhere!
He was sent flying, struck in the throat and face mid-air, and the moment he hit the ground was the death knight. The Green Knight had never seen such a crushing battle!
A burst of flames instantly erupted from the point where the fist and face made contact. The eerie flames seemed to never go out, spreading across the half-demon's body. The flames also burned along with his blood and bits of flesh, leaving a mess of flames scattered all around.
The Green Knight was starting to consider running away.
Looking at the black and red armor and the extremely straightforward and brutal fighting style, he suddenly thought of Iori Yagami, the most frenzied character in the history of fighting games.
After pinning the half-demon to the ground, Dou Tang slowly rose and straightened up, his hands still ablaze with flames.
To the Green Knight's surprise, the half-demons, who usually fled whenever someone died, charged forward again!
Are these guys not afraid of dying?!
The Green Knight suddenly felt
A chill ran down his spine; the half-demon before him was definitely different from usual, they were far too abnormal.
Just as he was in a daze, a cold light slashed down at him, but was blocked by a precious sword.
Xueqing glanced at the guy who was standing there in a daze and snapped, "Move! Idiot!"
The green knight seemed to wake from a dream, shook his head, and swung his arm, causing a bone spike to pierce the chest of a half-demon who rushed up beside him.
"……I know!"
The three continued to fight, their claws clashing with the precious sword, flames striking thick hides, bone spikes piercing through the sticky scales, and their frantic, agonizing roars echoing through the street, carrying far and wide.
It must be resolved quickly!
Dou Tang had an idea in mind. The fiery ropes wrapped around his hands suddenly came off. He waved his arms, and the two fiery ropes split into more than a dozen writhing fire snakes, which trembled and lashed at the half-demons around him.
Even without anyone wielding them, the fire serpents still possessed formidable power, leaving behind a whooshing sound of wind and fire as they coiled around the half-demons.
Some half-demons were unable to dodge in time and were tightly entangled.
Dou Tang roared and slammed his hands down!
“Ah ...
"It's so hot, so hot..."
Screams filled the air as the half-demons were instantly engulfed by flames. Several pillars of fire shot into the sky, reaching five or six meters into the air, their intense light forcing the others to retreat.
Chapter 38 Knight Kick and Flame Fist
Dou Tang stood proudly in the center of the flames, his figure appearing and disappearing amidst the flickering firelight.
