Kamen Rider: High Beam Rider (starting from Saber)

Lan Su shouted a warning to Fei Yuzhen from the air, but Fei Yuzhen was too far away to hear him at all.

Fortunately, Touma was already subtly absorbing the power of the fantasy world, and instinctively dodged Charybdis's sneak attack from behind.

"Hello, Touma."

Stryus stepped out from the barrier, a playful smile in his eyes.

When Fei Yu saw Stryus, her eyes held a hint of anger and confusion. "Stryus!"

"Why did you kill Liu Su! Wasn't he your ally too?"

By this time, Stryus had recovered from his earlier breakdown, but staring at the book in his hands, he still sighed, "Well, he was indeed my friend."

"His final scene wasn't very beautiful!"

Lan Su descended from the sky and came to the side of Fei Yuzhen, who was somewhat on the verge of collapse. He stared at Stryus with a hint of anger in his eyes. "No wonder I couldn't find you. It turns out you've been hiding in the fantasy world all this time."

"Hehehe, I have collected all the books I needed."

"The death of Viktor, the death of Zios, Raziel, the Lord of Truth... the stories of these people have all come to an end."

"Next up are you guys!"

Stryus's eyes seemed to show both reluctance and compromise, but in the end, he looked at Lan Su and Fei Yuzhen with a hint of expectation.

Fei Yu Zhen asked, puzzled, "What?"

Stryus's face darkened, his eyes turning sinister: "Soon this world will come to an end, and I will depict the most beautiful, yet painful, ending to this story that turns hope into despair!"

Lan Su sighed softly and looked at Stryus. "Stop, Stryus. You know this won't change anything."

"Shut up! You're like this, and so is Lanyu! If you can do it, then prove it to me!"

Stryu roared at Lans, for he had no way back, not since 2000 years ago.

If what Lan Su said about a brand new ending is true, then it doesn't matter if he dies.

If it's fake, then let him be the one to bring this story to its most tragic end.

"Indeed, the story will come to an end."

However, stories transcend time and are passed down by word of mouth. They can give people dreams, inspiration, and hope!

Then, a new story will be born!

Fei Yuzhen looked at Stryus, whom he believed had gone mad like the Lord of Truth, and firmly refuted his point of view.

"Transcending time and space, how wonderful, but such a future will never come!" Stryus was no longer listening to any advice and only wanted to go his own way.

The clash of ideas between the novelist and the bard thus began.

"Is that so? Then just watch, Stryus!"

"Stop wasting your breath on him, defeat him, and take back Liusu's book."

The transformation ring appeared around his waist, and Lan Su patted Fei Yuzhen's shoulder.

Fei Yuzhen nodded firmly and stood beside Lan Su. "I will not let that kind of ending happen!"

"henshin!" ×2

"Then come on! Let me see the brand new future you've been talking about!"

"Forbidden - Omniscient and Omnipotent!"

Stryus opened the Book of Omnipotence in his hand, and a black, inky swamp appeared. Similar to the pitch-black hand summoned by the Lord of Truth, it continuously attacked the two of them.

"The story needs your presence, and I look forward to your performance, my heroes!"

As soon as Stryius finished speaking, he and Charybdis vanished into the black mist.

"Don't go!" The Ten Holy Blades tried to stop them, but were entangled by these persistent black hands.

"Is it this again? But this trick doesn't work on me much anymore."

"The power of darkness!"

Burning Star Ajta pressed the fantasy book at his waist, and patterns of dark power appeared on the pages.

The dense, inky dark swamp was slowly absorbed into Ajita's body, transforming into strands of pure dark power that amplified his strength.

"Hiccup~"

Agito let out a comfortable burp, feeling that the dark power within his body had increased again, and was about to rival the power of light.

"Let's go after them!" Agito reminded the Ten Holy Blades, who were somewhat stunned by his abilities, and they followed the trail left by Stryus.

The two arrived at the foot of a clock tower but found no trace of Stryuus.

"The aura vanished here, where did it go?"

The Ten Holy Blades observed their surroundings. The area was empty, except for the bell tower, which seemed somewhat suspicious.

"Could it be..."

"That's right, there's a man-made barrier here!"

Agito cleaved through the illusory barrier before him with a single sword strike, revealing the true appearance inside: the Megiddo stronghold, that medieval-style building!

"go!"

As soon as the two entered, they saw Stryus and Charybdis already waiting on the upper stairs.

"You've arrived? As expected of the two most important characters in my script. It was worth waiting for you here, to witness the birth of a brand new epic with me!"

Stryuth opened his arms, and the surrounding lights came on.

On the walls of the building are books that have been modified at the cost of human lives.

The entire pavilion is filled with a dazzling array of bookshelves, with tens of thousands of modified books on display!

"These are all things you've done, to give away the lives given to so many people..."

The Ten Holy Blades were furious, and the Blade King Sword in their hands trembled with rage.

"Unforgivable! I will absolutely stop you!"

He pointed upwards at Stryius, no longer harboring any intention of holding back.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Stryus gave the order to Charybdis.

"Yes, sir Stryus!"

Charybdis opened his mouth wide, and he inhaled one after another of the modified books made by humans into his body.

"stop!"

The Ten Holy Blades roared, but Agito was faster. A magnificent bell rang, and the entire surrounding space was brought to a standstill.

"Click click click".

"It's no use, I've already figured out your methods!"

The sound of space shattering rang out, and Stryus, holding the Forbidden Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence, broke Lansu's time stop.

It swallowed all the modified books in the entire building, and Charybdis's aura surged once again.

The Ten Holy Blades collapsed to their knees, unable to accept what they were seeing.

"Stand up, Touma! Now is not the time to be sad about these things, this is war!"

Agito drew the Sword of Truth from his waist and pointed it at Stryius and Charybdis above.

"I know I will definitely rescue them!"

Agito and the Ten Holy Blades got into position, and the fierce battle began again!

Charybdis jumped down the stairs and, surprisingly, managed to fight two people at once, using brute force to push them away from the spatial barrier.

Stryus sat on the stairs, enjoying a moment of peace. "This is a script that even I think is perfect!"

Having absorbed all the modified books, Charybdis possesses a wide variety of abilities.

"Lunch with piranhas!"

With a casual gesture, the pages of the book opened automatically, bringing Agito's Ten Holy Blades to a book-like barrier.

One after another, ferocious piranhas lunged at the two of them, tearing at them!

"Tch, trouble."

Agito annihilated all the piranhas that attacked him with a single burning punch, and then unleashed several energy slashes.

"Puff puff!"

Karybdis was covered in huge wounds, which did not last long before he could recover.

The Ten Holy Blades followed closely, delivering two more blows to his body!

"Boom!" Karybdis's body exploded.

When the firelight died down, Charybdis appeared before them, completely unharmed.

"boom!"

He punched the ground, turned the pages again, and led the two into a volcanic field.

Huge boulders of lava hurtled toward the two of them. Agito and Ten Holy Blades each used the energy of their respective holy swords to summon the 'Rich Man's Sword Earth Strike' and shattered all the boulders!

Stryus arrived at the battlefield at some point, toying with the Forbidden Book of Omnipotence in his hand, and slowly walked towards Agito and the Ten Holy Blades!

Chapter 88 Magic Book

"What a spineless wretch, Charybdis!"

Stryus looked at Charybdis, who had been knocked to the ground, and said with dissatisfaction.

Two enormous black wings appeared behind Stryus, which then flew into the air and hurled two dark energy orbs at Agito and the Ten Holy Blades.

Charybdis remained silent, only slowly clenching his fists.

The two dark red energy balls were incredibly fast, and neither Agito nor the Ten Holy Blades had time to defend themselves before being sent flying.

Stryus raised his hand and waved, turning the pages again, stirring the stench and savage atmosphere in the real world.

Agito and the Ten Holy Blades rose again, and Stryus stood beside Charybdis, with five books of the Origin Man floating in front of him.

"No! Stop him!"

"Boom!"

The enormous bell rang again, and Agito unleashed the full power of Oma's power in an attempt to stop Stryus.

All five books radiated light, their combined energy fields shimmering and transforming.

"Now!"

Charybdis rose from the ground, opened his enormous mouth, and swallowed Stryus and all five books of the Origin Man in one gulp!

The scene froze, with Agito and the Ten Holy Blades staring blankly at the moment.

Although Lan Su had seen it in the drama, seeing it in person in real life was still too raw.

Charybdis's body underwent a transformation after consuming so many powerful books in one go.

"Uh, ah...!"

He clutched his chest and let out a painful howl, then his body turned to ashes and vanished as if shed skin.

Stryus emerged from where Charybdis had been standing, holding a brand-new, modified book in both hands.

When this book appeared, the world changed.

Luna, who was with Kento at the North Base, quickly sensed it and murmured to herself as she looked at the sky, "The world is about to come to an end!"

Stryus held the newly synthesized, modified book, golden light streaming from his eyes. At that moment, his eyes could see all the truths and knowledge of the world.

"So it still didn't work? I know everything now, the ending of the story!"

Stryuus's face was filled with sorrow; in all the outcomes he saw, there was no new hope at all!

Everything, everything, will eventually be destroyed!

At the Kamiyama Bookstore, Luna presents a new chapter in the pop-up book that Touma has given her.
