Kamen Rider Date A Live

"We...we really miss it! Well then, let's say it again after so long..."

As he spoke, Shi Ying agitω aimed his dual pistols at the rapidly diving Archer, gently pulled the trigger, and with a 'bang', he declared!

"Let's begin our...war!"

At that moment, Archer seemed to see Shido and Kurumi back to back, smiling, beneath this body and this armor.

The spiritual energy bullets hurtling into the sky were even more powerful than before, a fact clearly discernible from the whooshing sound they made. However, simple bullet attacks were of no use to Archer.

Clang!

Holding two swords, without any hesitation, he calmly swung them down, and two dazzling arcs of light appeared as the two spirit energy bullets were split in two and exploded behind Archer.

"drink!"

Without giving Archer any time to catch his breath, the moment the attack was broken, Shikigami Agitω flapped its wings forcefully. In the blink of an eye, it suddenly appeared in front of Archer, who had just cleaved through the bullets and was temporarily stunned. While the spiritual energy bullets poured out like they were free, Shikigami Agitω itself, with the help of its unique wings, soared through the sky. Just as Archer was having a headache from the rain of bullets attacking it, Shikigami Agitω appeared behind it and kicked out with a whistling sound!

A pincer attack! At this moment, Archer had nowhere to hide, and it seemed that all he could do was to take this attack... But don't forget, the battlefield is not the ground, but the sky!

With just one simple move, Archer escaped the pincer attack – that was, disabling the use of Hermes Boots!

Without the Boots of Hermes, it was almost certain that Archer, clad in golden armor, would be pulled back by gravity in the next instant and plummet rapidly, thus dodging the attack!

"Varied……!!"

boom!!!!

Before anyone could even be surprised, Shiying agitω's kick collided with the torrent of spiritual energy bullets, creating a tremendous roar, and at the same time, a cloud of smoke filled the air!

"Next comes my gift, accept it properly, you lackey!"

The moment after dodging the attack, Archer reactivated the Boots of Hermes and floated back into the sky, watching the magic circle that had completely formed above, summoning the flood!

This flood was so powerful that it could be said to have reached the level of a nation-state, and could easily destroy a country!

In fact, if we only consider the wide-area destructive power, this move is even more powerful than Archer's other killing move! But in reality, even if Archer is really furious, he rarely, or almost never, uses this move, because the attack range of this move is just too wide. Even Archer doesn't like this move, because once this move is used, the number of lives lost is countless!

And when Archer uses this move, he might also be taking the opportunity to destroy the magic gathering points around Fuyuki City to break the barrier—although it might sacrifice the life of a city dweller, even though he himself would feel reluctant, but if it's for the sake of the lives of all humanity in the world... sorry!

Even though he was a tyrant, Archer, as the King of Heroes, was undeniably a king who loved the lives of ordinary people and loved them in his own unique way. So, while his encounter with Tokikage Agitω was a catalyst, what truly motivated Archer to use this tactic was perhaps the heart that loved his people hidden beneath his arrogant exterior.

However, despite all that talk, even when faced with this raging flood, Shi Ying agitω showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, she calmly smiled, raised her spear, aimed it at the raging flood, and launched her tiny, 'insignificant' attack.

"Dalt, the fourth bullet of the Zafkiel".

Chapter 199: VS Archer (14)

Chapter 199 vs. Cher (14)

"Dalt, the fourth bullet of the Zafkiel".

As Shi Ying agitω chanted this, at the same time, on the clock face behind Shi Ying agitω, a faint light flashed among the numbers 'iv' on the clock, and something black, like a shadow, emerged from 'iv' and entered the muzzle of the gun in Shi Ying agitω's hand.

boom!

The jet-black bullet shot out of the barrel, flying towards the magic circle that was now unleashing a flood that shook the sky... But compared to this flood, Shiying agitω's bullet was simply a piece of duckweed on the sea, a sapling in a storm. No one would think that this insignificant bullet could stop the flood.

But... Archer moved, in order to stop the bullet's advance... it moved!

"Ugh—oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!!!!!"

Roaring and howling, Archer slashed with his sword, while the Gate of Babylon behind him fired its Noble Phantasm in the opposite direction, attempting to block Agit's Fourth Bullet.

It must be said that Archer's decision was extremely wise. Tokikage Agitω's attack, the Fourth Bullet, was indeed enough to end this offensive!

Kurumi's angel, Zafkiel, who manipulates and uses time, has twelve abilities. These twelve abilities represent the twelve numbers on Zafkiel's clock face. In other words, Zafkiel has twelve abilities related to time!

One of them, the Fourth Bullet, represents the ability to reverse time!

That's right, it's time reversal! To create something and make its time go back to a previous moment—this ability is incredibly powerful, practically defying the heavens! Moreover, this ability is remarkably similar to Kurumi's Twelfth Bullet.

Of course, these two are fundamentally different. The Fourth Bullet simply reverses time, returning the time of the target to the desired point. The Twelfth Bullet, on the other hand, travels back in time, sending the object itself to another point in time, giving the past new possibilities, changing the future, and even creating a completely new world!

Well, the biggest difference between the two is that the fourth bullet only limits the time when the object is hit, and the object itself will not change. The twelfth bullet, on the other hand, does not change the object itself, but changes the time in which the object is located.

Enough of this rambling. Let's get back to the point. Although we don't know exactly what the power of Tokikage Agitω's Fourth Bullet is, that doesn't stop Archer from understanding the nature of Tokikage Agitω's Fourth Bullet attack!

Think about it and you'll understand! This is the spirit of that time, the form of Tokisaki Kurumi! Plus, Tokikage agitω's statement just now, though seemingly calm, was full of strong confidence. No matter how you look at it, it proves that this move can break through his Great Flood!

However, now that archer has realized things are going badly, will Shiying agitω just sit and wait for his doom?

There's only one answer—no!

The instant Archer attacked, Shi Ying agitω understood that Archer had figured out the special nature of her move. However, Shi Ying agitω did not panic at all. Instead, she calmly raised her short gun again and said.

"Zfkfk First Bullet (Aleph)!!"

As before, the shadow seeped out from part 'i', inhaled the short gun that Shikigami agitω was holding high, and then pressed the muzzle against his jaw—pulling the trigger.

For an instant.

boom!

"Gurgle...!?"

The attack missed, and the huge boom above him filled Archer with doubt and confusion. When did the shadowy figure Agitω, which had suddenly disappeared before his eyes, fly up there?!

I didn't even see an afterimage before it vanished from my sight in an instant. If I hadn't stopped in time, I probably would have lost my balance for a while!

But what on earth is going on?! The speed of the lackey just now was completely illogical, it was as if my own time was being accelerated... So that's it! The effect of the first bullet I heard just now was to accelerate my own time!

Archer, who already knew what had happened, couldn't help but feel a sense of defeat. This was truly a power only gods could wield; it was terrifying! The power of time!

Just as Archer was sighing inwardly, Shi Ying (agitω) felt no relief whatsoever, because only he knew that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

The First Bullet's ability is indeed as Archer imagined: it accelerates the time it takes to hit a target, allowing them to fight at supersonic speeds! This is similar to Kamen Rider Kabuto and the others' super-speed transformations, accelerating their own time to exceed the speed of sound!

But don't forget, Kamen Rider Kabuto's system is a super-technological system developed by their predecessors over thirty-five years. The only cost of using it is the rapid depletion of physical strength. But Kurumi's cost is the loss of her life!

However, after transforming into the Time Shadow form, Zafkiel's twelve effect bullets underwent slight changes. Each type of bullet was limited to three shots, meaning it could only be used three times. Moreover, the cost of using it was changed to magic power. Of course, this was actually because the Time Shadow Agitω's body was composed of magic power at this moment, and there was no concept of time. It would disappear when the magic power was used up, so magic power replaced lifespan.

Of course, Shido himself would welcome such an outcome. After all, to use Zafkiel, one must use time, but one person's time is clearly not enough, so absorbing other people's time has become almost a necessity. However, Shido cannot bring himself to do such a thing.

But don't forget, Shikage Agitω's magic power is only about one-third of what it was at its peak. Whether it's maintaining the spirit form or using those two bullets, it directly used up about one-third of her already limited magic power!

So, after kicking away all of Archer's Noble Phantasms, Tokikage agitω's eyes narrowed. He used his spear to attack and restrain Archer, who was about to burst forward after reacting, and then pointed his short spear at his own head again, declaring.

"Zflücke: Eighth Bullet (chet)!!"

Accompanied by the voice of Shiying agitω, the shadow seeping from the number 'ⅷ' was sucked into the muzzle of the gun, and then, just like before, the trigger was pulled without hesitation.

Instantly, Shi Ying agitω's body began to sway irregularly, and at the same time, a figure appeared from Shi Ying agitω's body.

That figure was entirely purple, with armor like amethyst and energy wings as sharp as swords... That's right, the true identity of this figure is agitω's other spirit form - Sharp Form!

Zafkiel's Eighth Bullet (chet) is a bullet that, when fired at itself, can create clones that are severed from "its past self".

The activity limits of the clone are based on the time consumed by generating the confidant with the Eighth Bullet (chet), and which time period of oneself appears is completely random. However, here, the clone's existence time is limited to three minutes, and even more unexpectedly, Tokikage agitω didn't expect that what she summoned would be Sharp agitω!

As a being from the past, Sharp agitω was slightly taken aback when he suddenly found himself here, but after seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar Shiying agitω next to him, he immediately understood what was going on.

(Note: This form is the sharp agitω that appeared in the 136th chapter.)

"Hey! My future self! Are you in trouble? But then again, I never thought I'd actually experience something like this firsthand. It feels really weird."

"I feel the same way. I never thought I would encounter my past self like this."

At this time, these two agitω actually have the leisure to start chatting, I really admire them. But to be honest, this kind of novel experience really makes people want to talk to their past and future selves.

Fortunately, Shiying agitω hadn't forgotten the purpose of summoning him for three minutes. After exchanging greetings, he quickly explained his purpose for summoning him.

"The me of the past, now I lack magic power, but the battles to come will be even more dangerous than this."

As she spoke, Shi Ying glanced down at Archer, who was getting closer and closer. As she pulled the trigger more frequently, she said something that almost made everyone below (including Archer) lose control: "So, you can't do without enough magic power. The purpose of summoning you is to replenish my magic power."

P.S.: To all my readers who are still supporting me! Long time no see!! I wanted to resume regular updates... but work is getting increasingly busy, so that will have to wait until March or April... But friends!! I've decided that for the next three days... until January 3rd... I'll be posting four chapters every day!!! Including today, a total of sixteen chapters! Stay tuned!

**Day 1 - Part 1!!!**

………………The following is the main text:

This layer of flames burns not only the source of light power hidden within Shiying agitω's body, but also the entire Shiying agitω herself!

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, flames suddenly ignited, enveloping Shi Ying agitω. At this moment, Shi Ying agitω began to undergo a complete transformation! These incomparably dazzling flames seemed to illuminate the world like the sun!

No matter how dark, desperate, or distressed you are, never forget that darkness, despair, and distress will eventually dissipate. The sun that shines on the world and dispels the darkness will surely rise, and the warm and comforting light will surely appear.

And right now, the sun has risen.

Within these flames, the appearance of Shiying agitω changed once again, sublimating—beginning!

The belt began to shatter and reform. Flames, accompanied by the power of light, reassembled into a brand new belt. The Philosopher's Stone, the core of the belt, was no longer a single color, but rather presented a yin-yang symbol: one half, shaped like a magatama, was a noble purple, while the other half was a strange, ominous blackish-red. The setting hole for the Philosopher's Stone changed from a spiral shape to an inverted triangle.

The trench coat he was wearing remained unchanged, but the armor underneath had undergone significant alterations.

First, there were the wings. Wings that were originally formed entirely of energy had now become mechanical, artificial wings. Their angular, gleaming surfaces, the fleeting flashes of sharp, cold light, and the smooth, reflective shape all proved that the pair of black and red wings, originally composed entirely of energy, had become black and red wings made of machinery. This change, compared to before, lacked some of its former dazzling beauty, but gained a more menacing edge.

The head, the six-pointed star on the top remains open, but the difference is that the six-pointed star cannot be freely closed, releasing or retaining its power. Instead, it is fully open from the beginning.

The head, originally predominantly black, has been drastically altered. True red now serves as the main color, with black and blood red as accents. Even so, the helmet still evokes the image of a demon or monster—because the black and red accents are positioned precisely where the compound eyes are located. These two colors, like the veins of a leaf, entwine around the compound eyes, sending chills down one's spine.

Beneath the armor concealed by the black and red trench coat—the Unknown Chaos Calamity—a radical transformation had taken place. The white, reinforced rubber skin had become white, reinforced steel skin, and the armor had become more angular, almost—no, it had become almost metallic.

When the character's attributes change to the heavy metal attribute, Shiki agitω's overall abilities increase significantly, especially his defense, which is three to four times stronger than before!

This form is the spirit form of the burning form, also known as the burning spirit form, or the time-shadow form burning mode under the burning spirit form!

The purpose of this form is to prepare the user for the next stage, the Shining Form!

"...At this very moment, my hand has truly grasped the future!!"

Feeling the new power flowing through his body, Shi Ying (Burning) who had completed his sublimation smiled slightly. At the same time, he manipulated the mechanical wings on his back, shook them forcefully, and scattered the flames surrounding him. He gripped his twin pistols tightly, letting the new power flow into them, and shouted loudly.

"Look closely, Archer! This is the me and Kurumi you despise, the lackeys you call me... new power! Today, I will defeat you right here!"

----------

In the original world, a little earlier in time, Shido, the ace, had died and gone to another world to find a way to revive. Coincidentally, no Spirits were appearing during this period. So, they were given a rare holiday. Most of the Fraxinus employees, who were resting, were now gathered on the airship Fraxinus, intently watching the temporary or existing video players at their respective posts.

The video playing on that player was none other than the scene on Shido's side, where Shido transformed into the raging flame Agitω and Archer's Heaven's Chains were locked in fierce combat!

Oh, by the way, Tohka and the others are currently watching a video in the room where Shido's petrified body is hidden, for some reason. And by the way, the place where Shido's petrified body is hidden is Fraxinus.

(Shido: What the hell! I've never heard of such a thing! Showing it to Kotori and the others is one thing, but you actually let all the Fraxinus employees see it!? Oh my god! I've never heard of such a thing before!!! I'll lose face if I go back like this!!)
