Kamen Rider Date A Live

"That guy seems to be a formidable enemy as well..."

Saber heard Irisviel's whisper and nodded.

"Moreover, when dealing with the four Servants as opponents, there is no room for carelessness."

Everyone present was undoubtedly watching the Black Knight's every move with suspicion and vigilance. But there was one exception: Shido.

Because the Black Knight's chilling gaze was directed not at anyone else, but at himself!

"To force me to unleash my full power... Rider, protect Master!"

Shido jumped off the chariot and stopped less than five meters away from Berserker.

"Although I don't know what your master is planning... if you want to fight, I'm ready."

After Shido finished speaking, a golden vortex appeared at Shido's waist, drawing everyone's attention. Accompanied by ripples, a red belt with a golden core appeared around Shido's waist.

"Transformation."

As Shido spoke calmly, a deep humming sound followed, and the core of the belt emitted a white light, enveloping Shido's figure.

After the light faded, a figure wearing golden armor appeared. However, unlike the Archer, this golden figure was only mostly covered by armor on its upper body, while its head, like the Berserker's, did not reveal its face beneath the helmet.

"This is my battle form, or in this language, my conceptual armor form. By the way, don't call me Rider, or it'll be easy to get confused. Call me Agitω, Kamen Rider—Agitω!"

Meanwhile, the group of masters discovered through their master privileges that the golden rider before them... the golden agitω, had actually changed his/her stats!

Standing atop the streetlamp, Archer saw agitω's figure and that pure aura, and his anger and disgust intensified!

"Wow, that's strong... This ability level is almost at the level of the three great knights."

Waver was the first to notice the change in Shido's stats, and he was astonished to see that Shido's stats were now almost comparable to... no, they should be on par with the three great knights!

Shido's original stats were Strength B-, Endurance A, Agility C, Magic E, Luck A+, and Noble Phantasm EX. Now, Shido's stats are ————

class:rider

Master: Weber Velvet

Real name: Itsuka Shidou

Sex: Male

Height/Weight: 190cm/73kg

Attribute: Order - Good

Strength: a

Durability: a

Agility: b+

Magic: a

Luck: A+

Noble Phantasm: ex

While the changes in strength, endurance, and agility are still within an acceptable range, the changes in magic power are unacceptable. Originally, the magic power was only at the E-rank, but after transforming into this form, it suddenly became the A-rank! The increase is just too unreasonable!

However, before the masters could even cry out in disbelief, agitω and the masters started to move!

boom!

Their fists collided, but even this ordinary attack caused the air currents generated by their battle to make the Masters present—Wave and Irisviel—unable to stand. But that was normal; didn't they see the floor beneath their feet shatter?

Then, the two continued to clash with each other, and the air currents generated by the fight, along with their constantly shifting positions, forced the onlookers, including Webber, to constantly dodge the air currents and flying debris.

However, while humans like Waver couldn't see it, Heroic Spirits like Rider could. Although the two were engaged in a simple hand-to-hand combat, it was clear that their martial arts skills and strengths were roughly equal. However, Berserker's speed was much faster than Agitω's, and this difference was enough to injure Agitω and put him at a disadvantage!

"This is troublesome. Berserker is much faster than Agitω and can dodge most of Agitω's attacks. This is very disadvantageous for Agitω."

Rider's mutterings were overheard by Weber, who instinctively looked up and asked.

"Really?! So Berserker's agility must be at least B++! Rider, what are we waiting for?! Let's go help!"

"Don't rush, little master. Let's put aside whether the other Servants will agree to our rescue. Besides, Agitω hasn't even used his Noble Phantasm yet, has he? Oh! Look!"

Weber turned his head and saw a blue halberd appear at the core of agitω's belt, while ripples began to appear on agitω's left arm...

The 123rd Battle

The 123rd Battle

"From this moment on, the real battle begins!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, agitω retrieved a short gun composed of black, blue, and gold colors from the core. With a flick of his wrist, the two ends of the short gun extended, transforming into a long spear!

At the same time, the ripples on agitω disappeared, the armor changed from gold to blue, and the shoulder armor on the left shoulder was covered with a layer of blue armor. The core of the belt also turned blue. At the same time, a strong wind suddenly blew from all around agitω, temporarily blowing Berserker away.

At this point, most Servants would be on guard against Agitω and test its abilities. However, the Berserker, already in a frenzy, would ignore any changes made by the enemy and would only charge forward relentlessly!

"——————!!!!"

Berserker let out a frenzied roar, much like a wild beast, and casually picked up a slightly twisted steel bar that had appeared during their battle. But what happened next left everyone in disbelief: the ordinary steel bar in Berserker's hand had suddenly become a D-rank Noble Phantasm!

Seeing this, agitω's eyelids twitched involuntarily, but seeing the Berserker charging towards him, agitω stopped thinking, gripped the 'Storm Halberd' tightly, and a gust of wind began to appear beneath his feet!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang clang clang!!

The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously. For a time, the two fought to a standstill. And as the old saying goes, the master couldn't tell, but the servant could.

"Hey, little master."

"W-what is it, Rider?"

Webber, who was focused on watching the battle, was startled by Rider's sudden voice and instinctively asked back.

“agitω’s stats have changed, right? Tell me about it.”

"Oh, oh!"

Weber used his master privileges to look at Shido's current state and was surprised once again.

"Rider, Agitω's stats haven't changed in Magic Power, Luck, or Noble Phantasm. The changes are in Strength, Endurance, and Agility! And another 'Retain Skill' has appeared!"

"Oh!? Little Master, tell me. If I'm not mistaken, your agility has increased a lot, but your strength has decreased, right?"

"Pretty much, Rider. Right now, Agitω's stats are Strength B+, Endurance B, and Agility A+. The newly added 'Inherent Skill' is the A-rank 'Wind Power,' which allows him to manipulate wind to enhance his weapons and himself."

"Hahaha! That's amazing! At this rate, the black guy might get defeated by agitω! But we can't let our guard down yet..."

Rider laughed heartily, but his eyes never left the other three Servants. Clearly, if the other Servants intended to interfere in the battle between Agit and Berserker, or attack other Servants, Rider would definitely not stand idly by.

On the fierce battlefield, a vicious cycle had broken out. Both sides were evenly matched in skill and speed. Although Agitω's strength was far inferior to Berserker's, Agitω's fighting style was practically that of a Lancer!

The halberd in his hand swung and struck the berserker's armor several times, but the berserker's armor was not just for decoration, and it blocked the halberd's blows several times!

Berserker's situation was similar. Berserker's strength broke the halberd's defense several times, but the steel bar in Berserker's hand was only a D-rank Noble Phantasm. In addition, Agitω's whole body was protected by a gust of wind, so Berserker's attacks could not damage Agitω at all.

After a few minutes of this stalemate, agitω was starting to get tired of it. If it were just a simple one-on-one fight, it wouldn't be a problem, but besides their own side, there were three other Servants eyeing them covetously, and they were all Knights of the Three Knights class. If this dragged on, it would be a huge disadvantage for their side.

"Drink it!!"

Without hesitation, agitω removed the wind protecting his body, concentrating it all on his weapon—the 'Storm Halberd'. He gripped it with his left hand, cleaving the steel bars, while his right hand slammed a palm strike that repelled the Berserker. At the same time, agitω leaped backward, his two horns opening up and transforming into six horns!

At the same time, a blue hexagonal dragon emblem appeared under agitω's feet, and a visible storm appeared all around!

Seeing this action, the other Heroic Spirits understood what agitω was doing; he was about to unleash his 'True Name'!

Meanwhile, in the shadows, Kariya, sensing something was wrong, was about to forcibly recall Berserker to avoid the attack when something unexpected happened.

Lancer, who was standing to the side, suddenly made a move. His right-hand spear, "Red Rose of Exorcism," easily pierced through the storm surrounding agitω and thrust towards agitω's body! Meanwhile, his left-hand short spear pierced the halberd, causing it to slip from agitω's hand and fall to the side, disrupting the process of releasing the true name.

"cut!"

Seeing the situation was dire, agitω decisively stomped the ground with all his might, creating a violent gale! Although this attack was not very effective against Lancer who possessed the "Red Rose of Exorcism," it was enough for agitω to use this time to get out of Lancer's attack range and retrieve his weapon.

"Lancer! What are you trying to do! You want to..."

"Lancer! You..."

Agitω and Saber simultaneously questioned Lancer about his sudden attack, but upon seeing Lancer's expression of humiliation and anger, Agitω and Saber fell silent, instantly understanding why this chivalrous Lancer had launched a sneak attack.

Command Seals. For a Servant, they are absolute commands. No matter how great a Heroic Spirit is, they cannot disobey a Command Seal. At this moment, Lancer is undoubtedly bound by a Command Seal; his body no longer belongs to him personally, but is merely a dog loyally carrying out the Master's commands as a Servant.

All the skills and abilities honed by the Heroic Spirit Diarmuid were not arbitrarily used, but solely to execute the supreme commands of his Master, regardless of his personal beliefs. Lancer's grief and indignation were deeply felt by Agitω and Saber, who were also Heroic Spirits.

"...I'm sorry...agitω..."

Lancer let out a low groan of pain, yet he relentlessly advanced towards agitω. Contrary to Lancer's utterly humiliated expression, the two guns on his left and right sides emanated surging magical power, concealing an unparalleled killing intent!

Saber wanted to stop Lancer, but she had just been stabbed by Lancer's pistol, causing a tendon injury to her left arm. She wanted to help Agitω, but at this moment, she was willing but unable to do so.

However, after learning that Berserker had escaped unscathed, Kariya, who was hiding in the shadows, stopped thinking about it and made Berserker disappear into spirit form.

Anyway, that old man only ordered me to test the strength of that agitω, and now I can retreat. If I don't leave now, Berserker might have to leave the stage.

Enduring excruciating pain, Kariya gave one last angry glance (through her familiar) at the hour's servant—Archer—before slowly walking away, thinking of the home she didn't want to return to at all...

Archer's retreat in Chapter 124

Chapter 124: The Archer's Retreat

"Damn Berserker!!"

Not long ago, in order to eliminate Kenneth, a servant who has the ability to change stats—the Rider (agitω), he ordered Lancer to cooperate with Berserker to take down agitω.

Furthermore, because Kenneth knew his servant's personality clearly, he even went so far as to use a precious Command Spell that could only be used three times to forcibly command Lancer to attack.

But what infuriated Kenneth was that, *I* had just used Command Spells with your help to take down that troublesome Servant, and the Berserker's Master had actually called the Berserker back?! Are you fucking kidding me?!

So, our Director Ken watched with a bitter expression as the battlefield turned from a three-way melee into a one-on-one duel. All he could do now was pray that Lancer could defeat Rider (agitω).

However, whether it was a blessing in disguise or not, just as Lancer and Agitω were locked in fierce combat, Archer, who had been standing on the street lamp, suddenly made a move!

The various weapons that were floating peacefully behind Archer suddenly changed direction, their target obviously the area where Lancer and Agitω were engaged in fierce combat.

"You lackey of God, I will tear you to pieces! Vanish!!"

With a cold declaration, all sorts of weapons behind Archer fired at Lancer and Agitω.

………………

At the Tohsaka mansion, Tokimitsu gave a wry smile.

"Oh dear, it seems I can't dissuade them. But I didn't expect that a Heroic Spirit with a very high level of divinity would appear in this Holy Grail War, and not like the King of Conquerors, whose divinity exists only because of legend."
