The thought of a joke only lasted for a moment.
Chu Guang’s mood returned to its heavy state.
The previous Beast King was already very strong, but now it has actually increased in power again!
In his perception.
The other party’s aura has already faintly surpassed the level of a high-level monster, giving him a sense of deadly threat.
A “Beast King” whose power is surpassing that of high-level monsters.
And a “Demon Emperor” of unknown origin…
To be honest.
Sandwiched between these two terrifying existences.
If it were any other time, Chu Guang might have already given up hope of survival.
But now.
Chu Guang feels.
That they still have a chance!
Because.
The Beast King clearly has a deep resentment for the monster king known as the “Demon Emperor”.
Even to the point of being enraged and falling into a state of uncontrollable rage!
So… could they utilize this?
Or rather…
Could they hope for it?!
Not only does Chu Guang have this thought, but the other knights do as well.
They couldn't help but secretly pray in their hearts.
Hoping that these two monster kings will ignore them and engage in a fight to the death!
That way, regardless of whether the final result is a mutual defeat, or one side dies… it would be a million times better than the current situation of being caught between two fronts!
And the development of the situation seemed to be heading in the direction that the knights were hoping for…
“Roar!!”
After a burst of power, the Beast King’s body grew even larger, and at the same time, it seemed to have completely lost its sanity. With a roar, it quickly condensed energy in its hands, launching two massive purple energy blasts. Simultaneously, its figure flickered, swiftly charging forward!
“Boom!”
Sensing the dangerous fluctuations contained within the purple energy blasts.
Jiang Li, the Demon Emperor, roared.
He transformed into a golden barrier in front of him, instantly shattering upon impact with the energy blasts!
At the same time, Jiang Li dodged to the side.
He evaded the Beast King’s midair claw strike.
“Bang!!”
As the Beast King was about to pass him by, Jiang Li suddenly drove his knee upward.
A knee strike landed squarely on the Beast King’s chest.
The Beast King let out a muffled groan, retreating several steps backward. The ground beneath its feet even cracked into several deep pits!
“As expected.”
Seeing the Beast King easily repelled by him, a look of realization crossed Jiang Li’s face.
As he had sensed earlier.
The current Beast King’s strength is far inferior to that in the dungeon.
At most, it's just slightly stronger than the four subordinates of the previous King, but not significantly so!
“Looks like your awakening value isn’t high…”
Jiang Li raised a hand to block the Beast King’s renewed attack.
The force that could have sent him flying in the dungeon now merely caused his figure to sag slightly!
Awakening value is a term used by the authorities to measure the degree of awakening.
For monster awakeners.
The higher the awakening value, the stronger the monster power, or it can be said that they are closer to the power of the monster’s true form.
As for knights.
The higher the awakening value, the more effectively they can utilize the power of the knight belt. Furthermore, only with a sufficiently high awakening value can they unlock and master stronger forms of the belt!
As for Jiang Li… the template he synchronized with doesn't have any concept of awakening value.
Once the synchronization is complete.
He will obtain all the power of the template in the dungeon!
Of course.
Temporary talents don’t count.
According to Chu Guang and the others, the current Jiang Li has a 100% awakening value!
This is also the reason why Zeiya couldn’t detect Jiang Li’s aura fluctuations.
The moment the synchronization ended, he was already able to completely conceal his aura!
Now.
Facing a Beast King with an awakening value of only single digits… the perfectly awakened Jiang Li can crush it with one hand!
“Demon Emperor Impact!”
Jiang Li firmly grasped the Beast King’s arm.
His other hand was outstretched, Demon Emperor Power frantically gathering in his palm, condensing into a golden shockwave.
With a bang!
The Beast King rolled away like a cannonball, shattering the walls and debris along the way.
“Hiss…”
Seeing this.
Some of the knights couldn’t help but gasp.
When they saw the two monster kings start fighting, they were secretly overjoyed.
But in the blink of an eye.
The battle seemed to have already reached its conclusion.
The Beast King is like an infant in front of the mysterious monster king, unable to even withstand a single move!
This isn’t a fight…
It’s clearly a one-sided碾压!
…
…
“You’re official knights, aren’t you?”
Before the Beast King could get back up, Jiang Li turned to Chu Guang and spoke.
Seemingly taken aback that Jiang Li would actually speak to him, Chu Guang subconsciously nodded.
“Since you’re official knights, shouldn’t you be transferring the civilians while I’m fighting the Beast King?” Jiang Li seemed somewhat troubled as he said, “If you don’t rescue them, I can’t fight with my full strength…”
“Rescuing… wait!”
Chu Guang was still somewhat dazed at first, but he quickly recovered and was immediately shocked!
“You! You have consciousness?!”
Then he shook his head vigorously: “No! It’s impossible! How could you be so clear-headed?!”
The newly awakened Beast King was confused and disoriented, its combat was primarily driven by instinct. Even when it saw the Medusa Beast, it only vaguely recalled its name and some fragmentary memories.
But this Demon Emperor in front of him, he can actually engage in a smooth and logical conversation with him!
Moreover.
Chu Guang was starting to doubt his own ears.
Did this monster king just say something like “I can’t fight with full power if you don’t rescue them”?
Look at this!
Is this even something that a bloodthirsty and cruel monster king should say?!
Jiang Li didn’t bother to explain, because a certain little snake was getting up to something again…
“You stay put this time!”
“Don’t run around anymore!”
Jiang Li swung his hand backward.
A huge golden bat seal charged forward, accurately enclosing the Medusa that was preparing to escape once more.
Golden electric arcs danced, turning into chains, constantly whipping against Medusa’s body.
“Ahhhhh! No! No!!”
Listening to Medusa’s screams, Chu Guang and the other knights trembled inwardly.
What kind of power is this?
It can actually forcefully restrain a high-level monster!
And… this seems like something he casually used!
“Alright, now go ahead and transfer everyone else.”
“Oh, right.”
“Let me borrow this thing.”
After locking down Medusa’s movements, Jiang Li no longer paid any attention to her.
Instead, he pointed to the side with his finger.
Chu Guang looked in the direction he pointed and instinctively wanted to speak up… because what Jiang Li was pointing at was Zhang Hu’s belt. However, he immediately thought about Jiang Li’s identity and the abilities he had just demonstrated, and he wisely shut his mouth.
Jiang Li casually stretched out his hand.
Golden Demon Emperor Power surged out, drawing the belt on the ground towards him.
“Ixa Belt.”
“The artificial Kamen Rider transformation device of the Supreme Blue Sky Society!”
Jiang Li carefully examined the metal belt in his hand, a smile playing on his lips.
An opportunity to try out a new toy, a pleasant surprise for him.

Ps: To avoid misunderstandings, I'll clarify in advance.
The Ixa Belt will only be used this once, the real belt will make its appearance later!
