Chapter 236 The Gluttonous Monster
He was clad in armor that intertwined crimson and dark colors, his entire body exuding a cold, hard, mechanical beauty.

His belt was inlaid with snowflake-shaped red crystals, and his face was covered with a ferocious flame pattern made of red crystals, making him look extremely handsome.

This outfit, with its predominantly crimson color scheme, is extremely standard and would not look out of place in any Kamen Rider tokusatsu series; it would be perfectly normal for it to be worn by the main character.

However, at this moment, the dream that many young people have had, this handsome Kamen Rider is fleeing in a sorry state.

Under the relentless pursuit of the numerous fat monsters, Yan Chi was almost exhausted. As he ran, he cursed loudly, "Core! What kind of damn information did you provide! I had no idea that there were so many troublesome little monsters in this damned gluttonous monster territory!"

Beside Kamen Rider Enki, a crimson crystal encased in cold machinery is emitting a crimson tail flame, closely following his partner.

Data streams emerged from the crystal, accompanied by a mechanical male voice: "According to the mission log, Kamen Rider Blaze, 3 hours, 5 minutes and 06 seconds ago, the information provided by this core did indeed involve specific information about the Gluttonous Monster."

"Now, let's replay the following dialogue..."

"You son of a bitch!" Yan Chi couldn't help but curse. Just then, the machine core started playing back the audio.

Amidst the noisy background music of the arcade, a cold, mechanical voice rang out: "(Note: The Gluttonous Monster is incredibly powerful, possesses abundant energy reserves, and has numerous minions. Its weakness is... its power attribute is... incompatible with your partner's power attribute, making the battle extremely risky. It is recommended to find a companion to hunt it down together...)"

Amidst the intense game sound effects, there was a boy's nonchalant reply: (It's nothing, it's just a fat guy. My Flame Blaze is so strong, I'll just roast the fat meat... Oh! The boss is out, teammates, hurry up and use your ultimates...)
Ugh! The audio playback distracted Yan Chi, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

A grotesque fat creature, which had been lurking in a piece of food scraps, was vomiting violently, spewing out the yellow fat that made up its body.

The slippery fat, with its strange stickiness, instantly enveloped Yan Chi's body, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground as he ran at high speed.

Ugh! Ugh! Ugh...

In that instant, a multitude of high-speed, chasing fat monsters swarmed towards the fallen Yan Chi.

Their entire bodies dissolved into huge clumps of fat during the vomiting, binding him tightly.

The muscles, excluding the fat, transformed into long snakes that slithered and intertwined on the ground, quickly coalescing into a monster composed entirely of red muscles.

Trapped within the mass of fat, Yan Chi felt threatened by the crimson muscle monster and cursed, "Core! You bastard, even at a time like this you're still being so stubborn and nitpicky. Just tell me where we can escape!"

"If you hadn't been so bored as to replay the audio, how could I have been caught by such a small monster without even realizing it!"

He struggled frantically in the slippery, sticky fat, but to no avail.

He could only grit his teeth and hesitate before reaching down to his waist.

A small flame lit up but was quickly extinguished by him, and a crimson longsword covered with flame patterns materialized from his palm.

He swung his blade swiftly, cutting through the fat with the sharp blade, and taking advantage of the brief gap in the fat's healing process, he broke free and continued to flee.

Yan Chi breathed a slight sigh of relief. "That was close! Luckily, I controlled my strength well and didn't set these things on fire."

As he ran, he looked back with lingering fear at the fat monsters and the murky gas that filled the sky and earth, trembling with rage.

Damn it! Flame Fang Blade didn't dare to exert any force at all.

My fire energy is too incompatible with this guy. If I could use fire, I could take down these damn fat monsters that are already flammable with a single slash and roast them like charcoal!

But why is there so much flammable gas?
A fat monster, once ignited, becomes a mobile torch.

If more Fat Monsters were ignited together, causing the gas to explode, I don't know if the Gluttonous Monster would die, but I'm afraid I'm doomed.

We have to escape quickly, but this damned Gluttonous Monster Domain is characterized by gluttony. Once it eats something, it can't be spat out. If we don't defeat the monster, we can't escape at all!
But I dare not use fire, so I can't unleash my full power at all, damn it!

He had tried many times, but no matter how he tried, he could not find a solution. His energy was almost exhausted, and if he could not escape soon, he would die here!

Just then, a flash of silver light streaked past his eyes, startling Yan Chi. He turned his head to look. "What...is that?!"

Suddenly, a silver light, like a butterfly, flew rapidly behind him.

Those fat monsters that kept chasing him were easily pierced, and the muscle body underneath, completely covered by thick fat, was easily severed.

In just a moment, nearly a hundred fat monsters collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

"Hey, hello there." A light voice sounded from behind.

Kamen Rider Enki turned around and expected to see a fellow Kamen Rider who had intruded into the monster realm. However, he was surprised to see a boy whose art style was completely out of place with Kamen Rider. He was wearing a light black ancient costume and standing on a large sword, looking like he was from an anime game.

"Who are you?" Kamen Rider Enki looked at the child in disbelief. "What's your background? Why do you have superpowers without transforming?"

The young man didn't answer his question, but instead looked him over, especially at the Kyubey perched on his shoulder with a strange gaze, and asked in return, "The guy in this barrier is very weak. Judging from your magic fluctuations, you should be able to handle him. Why are you in such a sorry state?"

"You arrogant brat," Kamen Rider Enka shouted somewhat irritably, "If I wasn't worried about setting this place on fire, I would have taken care of it long ago!"

"Forget it, if you can't handle it, let me do it." Young Fang Zheng interrupted him directly, frowning as his gaze pierced through the vast lake of stomach acid. This seemingly magical witch's barrier felt very strange to Fang Zheng; it seemed far too predictable.

"Is this the place..." With a light flick of his finger, a small, sharp blade split off from the greatsword beneath his feet, piercing through the lake of stomach acid like a swimming fish, and heading towards a lump of flesh beneath the lake.

But in less than a second, the sharp blade that should have pierced through it was rapidly corroded away as it traveled through the stomach acid, turning into specks of light that settled downwards and were absorbed by the huge mass of flesh.

The deeper they swim, the more corrosive the stomach acid seems to become.

A sharp blade that is completely unaffected in the shallow lake of gastric acid will experience an almost exponential increase in corrosive effects as it goes deeper.

Upon seeing this, Kamen Rider Enki immediately shouted, "Hey, I've already tried this method. The Gluttonous Monster is hiding in the core of the domain, so it's impossible to get close normally. The closer you get, the stronger his stomach acid corrosive power becomes. Let's figure out a way to break through the domain and retreat together!"

"Oh, a strange realm? Isn't it a witch's barrier?" The boy listened to his advice with some doubt.

Kamen Rider Enki was also completely confused: "Witch Barrier? What is that? Listen to me, let's retreat together!"

"The deeper you go, the stronger the corrosive power of the stomach acid becomes... It's actually quite simple to deal with this thing." The young man smiled calmly, and with a wave of his hand, five enormous swords materialized, connected at the tail and slightly misaligned at the blade angle.

Immediately, the propeller-like object fell into the lake, hovered in its shallows, and began to slowly rotate at high speed.

The shallow stomach acid, suspended with massive amounts of food residue and numerous fat monsters, has the weakest corrosive power and can hardly cause any corrosive effect on the weapons summoned by the boy.

At this moment, the vast lake began to be stirred up.

Just as stirring a basin of water creates a whirlpool, any liquid stirred will gradually sink in due to centrifugal force.

Naturally, no matter how strong the corrosive power of stomach acid is, it cannot corrode the stomach acid itself.

Superficial stomach acid and deep stomach acid, even if their corrosive power is vastly different, are essentially the same.

At this moment, the massive propeller did not come into contact with any deep stomach acid; it merely interfered with the shallow stomach acid, stirring up a vortex tornado that gradually went deeper and deeper into the lake.

In the deepest part of the lake, there was a gluttonous monster that should have relied on stomach acid as its defense, using the corrosiveness of the stomach acid to continuously corrode any intruder, turning them into nutrient deposits, and ultimately greatly strengthening itself, until finally emerging from its fleshy cocoon to kill the intruder...

Without any resistance, the greatsword that pierced through the tornado sliced ​​it into pieces, along with the fleshy mass surrounding its body.

Ugh... It felt like worms were crawling around in someone's stomach. Amidst the violent vomiting, the enormous stomach began to convulse violently, and the surface of the huge lake of gastric acid began to rise rapidly, causing the somewhat bewildered Kamen Rider Yan Chi and the boy Fang Zheng to vomit together.

vomit……

In the void, a fat mouth full of yellow teeth vomited violently, spitting out the two figures. The fat mouth then withered and slowly dissipated.

Kamen Rider Enki fell to the ground in a sorry state, his body covered in sticky, foul-smelling stomach acid and food residue.

Although the entities attached to these strange entities were slowly dissipating, he had already reached his limit. As soon as he returned to reality, he roared, "Flame Fang!"

A longsword engulfed in flames appeared instantly, and the scorching flames spread over him like a tide, transforming into a layer of lava shield that quickly burned away the disgusting stuff, leaving only the smell of burnt food to dissipate rapidly.

At this moment, a card materialized at the gaping maw in the void, as the monster domain completely dissipated.

This card, which appears to be made of metal, depicts a somewhat abstract mouth.

Kamen Rider Enki walked forward and picked up the card that was floating on the ground.

He stroked it a couple of times with some reluctance, then handed it to the boy squarely and said, "Kid, thanks to you for saving me this time, this Gluttonous Energy Card is your spoils of war."

"Oh?" The young man took the card with its peculiar texture and felt the faint magical aura emanating from it.

This feeling is almost identical to the Seed of Lamentation, yet there is a subtle difference.

After examining the cards, Fang Zheng turned to the armored man beside him and asked curiously, "By the way, your outfit makes you look like a Kamen Rider, right? I'm Fang Zheng, what's your name?"

"Flame Blaze!" The man in crimson armor pointed his thumb to his chest, his tone tinged with pride: "I am the Kamen Rider Flame Blaze who protects this city! Remember me! As for my name, just call me Flame Blaze."

After the introductions, Fang Zheng's gaze fell on the familiar white creature on the armored man's shoulder, namely, Kyubey.

He recalled the conversation he had overheard between the two people inside the barrier and asked curiously, "Kyubi, and this Kamen Rider, can we talk?"

"Oh?" Yan Chi looked at the somewhat strange-looking boy in front of him again, then reached down and touched his waist.

As the belt was removed, the crimson armor covering his body also disappeared, revealing a boy with red hair who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

"No problem! Although we just met, you saved me, so you're my friend, Yan Chi! Come on, let me treat you to a meal."

He paused, then added, "Also, you don't look like a Kamen Rider or a monster, but you just displayed superpowers. I'm quite curious about that too..."
