“Click!”
Jiang Li flicked his wrist.
The Ixa belt immediately circled his waist, the two buckles on its ends accurately aligning and connecting with each other.
The knights nearby, while transferring infected civilians, were also paying attention to this side. So, when they saw Jiang Li's smooth and practiced movements, their eyelids twitched.
Wait, how is the Demon Emperor so familiar with these actions?
Jiang Li, of course, wouldn't tell them that he had practiced these moves countless times in his previous life.
“Ready!”
“Ready!”
Then.
Jiang Li grabbed the Ixa fist gun, pressed it firmly in the palm of his other hand, then aimed it at the belt and inserted the gun, simultaneously shouting...“Henshin!”
“Fi-s-t-O-n!”
“Gear up!!”
The moment it received the transformation command, the Ixa belt emitted a deafening sound effect.
At the same time.
A golden cross rotated and flew out of the belt!
It outlined a sacred array in front of him, with a sun pattern in the center!
Following that.
A golden armored phantom emerged from it.
As Jiang Li approached.
The phantom automatically attached itself to his body, forming a majestic blue-and-white-gold armor!
This is...Kamen Rider Ixa (IXA)!
“It's a bit weak.”
Jiang Li felt Ixa's power.
To be honest.
He couldn't feel much amplification.
But this was normal.
After all, his own strength was already on par with, or even surpassed, Ixa's!
But as an artificial Kamen Rider belt that anyone could use, with more users appearing in the show than even the Red渡 (Reduto) form, Ixa was already pretty good. Plus, Red Dad had built his empire using it in the early stages.
As he pondered.
The King of the Ou Beast had already risen from the rubble. It waved its arm, clearing away the obstacles in front of it. With a roar, it leapt into the air and slammed down towards Jiang Li!
Faced with the opponent's attack, which was like a mountain collapsing, Jiang Li chose to parry with one hand. With a bang, although his feet sank deep into the ground, he successfully blocked the blow!
“Demon Emperor...die!!”
Just as the King of the Ou Beast raised its big foot to kick, Jiang Li suddenly looked up.
The King of the Ou Beast saw his golden faceplate suddenly open, revealing a pair of crimson, majestic compound eyes.
At the same time, a violent heat whirlwind erupted from his body, blowing the still-airborne King of the Ou Beast away!
“That's...Ixa's Burst Mode?!”
Chu Guang, who was constantly watching the battle, was shocked.
This “Demon Emperor” is not using Ixa for the first time, otherwise, how could he activate Burst Mode directly?!
“Clang! Clang clang!”
Jiang Li took a step forward, instantly catching up to the King of the Ou Beast as it flew back. His right hand, at some point, had already gripped the Ixa Sacred Sword. In an instant, dozens of sword blades flashed through the air, howling!
Countless sparks sprayed in the air.
Accompanying them was the King of the Ou Beast's howls and roars!
But.
The King of the Ou Beast was ultimately just raging helplessly!
It landed and forcibly got back on its feet, but as it looked up, it found that Jiang Li had suddenly raised his right hand and placed it at his chin. Then, the faceplate at that location opened outwards, revealing a blue-and-white phone...the Ixa Rising!
“Beep beep beep!!”
“Rising!!”
“Rising Mode!!”
Jiang Li didn't even lower his head, yet the few buttons he pressed were all accurate.
The next moment.
The armor all over his body instantly exploded, and a dense network of engine cores was revealed in his chest. The violent power surged throughout his body, his shoulder armor, hand armor, leg armor, even his head, were all rendered in a sky-blue color!
“What the hell is he...?!?”
Far away, Zhang Hu, who had just woken up, widened his eyes.
As the original holder of the Ixa belt, he hadn't even managed to activate Burst Mode!
But this “Demon Emperor” with a mysterious identity and origin.
Activated Burst Mode on his first use, and even activated the final Rising Mode!
The other knights were equally astonished!
But what they didn't know was.
Jiang Li, possessing the “All Rider Physique”.
Had 100% compatibility and awakening value for any transformation device!
“No wonder Maguro could defeat an Ou Beast in the movie, the power of Rising Mode is indeed impressive!” At this moment, Jiang Li, feeling the power of Rising Mode, couldn't help but nod silently.
Rising Mode
Was achieved by completely removing the armor, thereby unleashing double the power of Burst Mode. It was like sacrificing defense in exchange for extreme attack power, similar to the 爆甲 (Blast Armor) of the Kabuto series.
Theoretically.
In Rising Mode, except for defense, everything else was three times stronger than the base form!
“Since it's a one-hit kill mode, let's settle this quickly.”
After experiencing Ixa's various modes, Jiang Li was no longer going to play around with the King of the Ou Beast.
“Bang bang bang!!”
He took out the Ixa Rising, flipped it a few times, and it transformed into a pistol mode. When Jiang Li pulled the trigger, a few explosive light bullets shot out, accurately hitting the King of the Ou Beast, making its body tremble violently!
“Boom!!”
Then.
Jiang Li instantly switched back to the Sacred Sword, simultaneously inserting the Sacred Sword whistle into his belt!
“Ixa, Calibur, Rise, Up!”
“Sacred Sword Overclock!!”
“Ixa, Judgement!!”
“God's Judgement!!”
As the stirring sound effect echoed.
Jiang Li held the Sacred Sword upright in front of his chest, with threads of electric arcs flickering on the blade.
A huge and majestic sun rose from behind him.
The feeling of endless heat, capable of incinerating everything in the world, struck him in the face!
The King of the Ou Beast's pupils uncontrollably trembled, a sense of unprecedented fear surging within it!
At this moment.
The opponent seemed like a solar god from ancient myths!
And it itself...was a lowly demon about to face judgment and execution!!
“Boom！！！”
As Jiang Li leapt into the air, the Judgement Sacred Sword, entwined with endless light energy, slashed down!
The sun behind him erupted in an incomparable brilliance!
The knights instinctively closed their eyes, a deafening roar ringing in their ears!
When they opened their eyes again.
The first thing they saw was a huge black circle in the rubble, with a few flames swaying around it...it was obviously the damage caused by the sun's eruption!
The King of the Ou Beast was gone.
In the entire ruined area, aside from the blue knight, there was only the Medusa Ou Beast bound by the golden bat seal.
Looking at the figure slowly sheathing his sword, the knights' eyes were dazed.
If they hadn't known beforehand that the person under the armor was a monster king, the knights would have even thought...that this was a solar god from heaven, come to judge demons!
...
...
“Your king has returned to death, so now it's time to deal with you.”
Jiang Li turned to face Medusa.
The binding effect of the Demon Emperor Seal had just ended.
Medusa Ou Beast's legs gave way, and she fell to the ground, but she immediately forced herself to get up.
Jiang Li didn't rush to kill her.
Instead, he looked at Medusa's body with interest...don't get him wrong.
Jiang Li didn't have any ulterior motives towards her.
Moreover...
“I seem to sense a familiar aura from you...”
“What...could it be?”
Jiang Li was very curious.
And Medusa Ou Beast's eyes were filled with resentment.
The King of the Ou Beast's death seemed to drive her completely insane.
And that madness allowed her to forcefully resist the fear of Jiang Li.
“Ever since I awoke, I've been desperately searching for a way to defeat you!”
“I haven't forgotten that powerlessness and rage for a moment!”
“Finally one day.”
“I discovered its existence!”
“It's the Demon Emperor Armor, a kingly weapon more perfect and powerful than Dark Kiva!”
“Originally.”
“This was the gift I offered to the King for his rebirth...”
“But! You damn Bloodsucker! You shattered my hope once again!”
Medusa Ou Beast slowly stood upright.
Then, she took out a belt from behind her, her voice hoarse but full of killing intent:
“Now.”
“I'll use it...to brutally kill you!!”
Jiang Li looked intently.
He didn't show any fear, but instead, a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face!
He had a feeling in his heart when he heard Medusa's words, but he didn't dare confirm it.
Unexpectedly.
It was exactly what he had in mind!
The belt that Medusa Ou Beast took out was shaped like a bat.
Its wings and body were mainly gold and black.
Its compound eyes were red.
That's right.
It was the third generation King's Armament – Kivat Bat III!
And the moment he saw Kiva, a feeling of being called upon became even stronger!
Obviously.
This inexplicable call was coming from Kiva!
