Kamen Rider: Evolution

This time it's gravity.

The weight on the body of the Kalis Undead suddenly increased several times over, and it continued to rise.

Kalis's movement of raising his head was instantly reversed, causing his entire body to fall face down on the ground.

The leaves that were originally scattered on the ground were instantly compressed into a thin layer under the pressure of gravity, and gradually sank into the ground.

Several sparks erupted from the body of the Kalis Undead Beast.

A cracking sound exploded from the armor-like shell, and several wounds burst open on what appeared to be armor but was actually a body, from which green blood was forcibly squeezed out and gushed out.

In the blink of an eye, the cracked ground was soaked with green blood.

"Bang bang bang!"

When Jiang Xia waved his hand again, the body of the Kalis Undead Beast was pulled in front of him without any resistance, and a sealing card suddenly appeared in the center of Jiang Xia's finger.

"Click-clack!"

The metal belt around Kalis's waist cracked instantly as he was being pulled in. He tried to resist, but the gravity surrounding his body bound him tightly like a rope, leaving him no strength to even lift his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The sealing card was inserted accurately into Kalis's waist, and his armored body was quickly sealed by the card inserted into his metal belt.

All Ace hearts have been collected.

"Bang bang bang!"

As Jiang Xia pinched the Ace, three or four energy arrows suddenly shot towards him from the bushes behind him, charring the branches in their wake.

It was undoubtedly a strike aimed at a blind spot, deliberately launched from behind, and aimed at the moment when Jiang Xia had just defeated Kalis and retrieved the Ace of Hearts, when most people would be off guard.

This is the essence of victory in the extreme battle, where everyone fights fiercely.

Before reaching the final stage of growth, acquiring most of the power of the undead beasts, and being able to stand in the spotlight, sneak attacks, cooperation, and backstabbing are all perfectly normal.

Apart from the lower-level undead beasts with lower intelligence, all other undead beasts will experience a process of victory through deception and trickery.

After Jiang Xia put away the Red Heart Aec, a platinum flame suddenly appeared on his arm, and he slapped the rapidly shooting arrow with his palm.

"boom!"

These energy arrows stopped right in front of Jiang Xia under the scorching flames and were burned to ashes. However, because Jiang Xia was too fast, it looked as if he had slapped the energy arrows to pieces.

Jiang Xia's pale golden pupils glowed slightly as he turned to look at the bushes in the distance. The undead beast that had launched the sneak attack slowly emerged from the bushes under Jiang Xia's gaze.

The heavy armor shattered the tree branches, and the visor on its face was a vibrant red.

The black armor was adorned with red patterns, and in his right hand he held a bow-sword about half a meter long, resembling a bow and arrow. The bow-sword had a red pattern like a heart in its center, and wisps of white smoke were rising from the center of the bow-sword, from which the energy arrow had just been fired.

The person who launched the sneak attack on Jiang Xia also had a very peculiar appearance. He also had a red heart-shaped mask, with silver metal tentacles extending from the red top and standing on both sides of his head.

Kalis the Undead.

But judging from its appearance, it is indeed the Kalis Undead Beast. Whether it's its appearance, its weapons, or even the sharp aura it exudes when it appears, they are all the same. And the attack just now was indeed in line with the Kalis Undead Beast's attack style.

It looks like the Kalis Undead Beast, smells like it, and even feels exactly the same, but it's not. Even if Jiang Xia hadn't sealed the Ace of Hearts, he would have known that the guy in front of him wasn't it.

If you ignore the fact that the guy in front of you looks like Kalis, there is another obvious but easily overlooked difference: his belt. The belt of the guy in front of you is different from that of Kalis the Undead.

In the rules of the Ultimate Battle, only one type of undead beast has the ability to mimic the appearance of other undead beasts. This is Jiang Xia's third goal, the final piece of the puzzle of the Kalis Knight System: the Joker, also known as the Ghost Card.

“Although you have the ability to mimic, I can tell from a distance that you are not him, not to mention that I just sealed Kalis away.” Jiang Xia tossed the Ace of Hearts card in his hand, looking at the Joker who was mimicking Kalis.

It seems that the Joker really likes this appearance, and the fact that he can mimic it without swiping the corresponding card is somewhat unusual.

Unlike the future version of Aikawa Hajime, who possessed the appearance of a human-like undead beast and had human nature, the current version of him was filled with a savage and violent aura.

This frenzied feeling gradually intensified as the number of undead beast types decreased.

But at least the Joker still has reason now; he's not just a beast that only knows how to kill.

No wonder the human undead beasts didn't appear until the very end of Ultimate Battle, because by the later stages the Joker had already become a combat weapon, and only then was it possible to give them humanity.

At that moment, a green light suddenly flashed from Joke's body, and Kalis's appearance collapsed under this power.

The energy fluctuations revealed a monster with a green, transparent mask covering its head.

Its gleaming white teeth parted slightly, black tentacles extended from its head, jet-black claws opened, and scythe-like blades on its arms lengthened. A chaotic, beastly aura suddenly enveloped the area.

After reverting to his original form, the Joker's fighting instincts are unleashed.

It looks exactly like a combat weapon, and is exceptionally fierce.

This is the Joker's true form: a humanoid immortal beast resembling a green cockroach.

At this point, Jiang Xia also figured out the Joker's special ability: mimicry.

Even without the corresponding card, Joker can still mimic, but this mimicry is extremely unstable and lasts for a very short time.

When Joker seals other undead beasts and swipes the sealed cards into his belt, he can completely transform into the corresponding undead beast from the inside out and remove the time limit.

This is probably for balance, to avoid a situation where a Joker with mimicry abilities but no cards dies immediately upon entering the game.

Therefore, the Joker initially possessed a certain ability to mimic without cards.

The Joker, now back in his original form, wielded a curved green metal blade that crackled with menacing arcs of light.

It made a sound, like a wild beast hunting, its white teeth bared, exhaling a faint white vapor, enough to devour a human's head.

“If you want the sealing card on me, then come on, Joker,” Jiang Xia said, holding the card in his hand.

Provoked, the Joker let out a piercing shriek, and a flashing green blade of light suddenly descended towards Jiang Xia's head at incredible speed.

Jiang Xia simply turned slightly to the side and dodged the whistling green blade. At this moment, the two were already very close.

As Jiang Xia dodged the attack, his right hand suddenly gripped the green heart-shaped belt around Joker's waist.

However, he did not make any attacking move; he simply touched her lightly.

When the Joker's second attack came, Jiang Xia suddenly took a few steps back.

"boom!

Joker's metal blade slashed directly into the ground, the impact of which unleashed a green shockwave that blasted a gash in the earth.

The powerful impact cleaved a large tree in the distance straight in the middle, sending its thick trunk crashing to either side.

"?"

Joker looked up in confusion, and the human scent suddenly disappeared.

At that moment, the Joker suddenly looked up at the split tree trunk.

He sensed a peculiar aura emanating from behind the fallen tree.

A strong, pungent smell of undead beasts filled the air, like that of the highest-ranking undead beasts.

"call!"

"The collection of the Kalis Knight System is finally complete."

Jiang Xia stepped over the tree trunk and stood in front of Joker.

The metal buckle that originally hung around his waist had been replaced by a knight's belt.

What exactly are you?

The Joker, who had just been filled with a berserk aura, spoke, his gaze fixed on the sealing belt around Jiang Xia's waist that looked exactly like his own.

Even he himself could only mimic the appearance, not the corresponding Undead Beast Belt.

This thing is a symbol that the ruler bestows upon each undead beast, and it's impossible for them to be the same. The guy in front of me is even more special than the Joker.

"I'm fighting on behalf of humanity, so what do you think I belong to?"

Jiang Xia took out the sealed card belonging to Kalis and gently swiped it onto the knight's belt at his waist.

The awakening at his waist has changed from the green that originally belonged to Joker to red.

The red heart in the middle split open, and several pale golden lines, influenced by Jiangxia's power, appeared on both sides.

This thing should be called the Kalis Awakening Device now. Originally, only the Joker could transform into it, but after it was copied, he can transform into it too.

"Change! (Mantis)"

A dark, undulating color spread from the Kalis Awakening Device at his waist throughout Jiang Xia's entire body.

Black knight armor with red patterns instantly covered the area.

Kamen Rider Kalis officially appeared 10,000 years ago.

"They actually possess the same abilities as me."

Joker raised the green blades on his arms and swung them sharply at Jiang Xia.

Two bright green blades shot out from the Joker's arm in an instant, slashing towards Jiang Xia's neck and chest with a rustling sound.

The oppressive feeling that Kalis brought to him now was comparable to that of the four King cards.

The ultimate battle has only just begun, and he doesn't have many useful cards in his hand. He has very little chance of winning against Kalis right now.

"This is a relatively new knight system."

Jiang Xia gripped the longsword in his hand, named Xing Gong, and swung it at high speed at the blade rushing towards him.

The bow and the Joker's scimitar clashed violently. The bow's swing speed was normal, but the Joker could only catch a blurry shadow.

"Bump!"

Xinggong's blade struck the center of the curved sword with remarkable precision; with just a light touch, the green blade was shattered completely.

Jiang Xia took a step and quickly appeared in front of Joker, his bow swiftly slashing at Joker's body.

"Bump!"

Green blood splattered from the bow that Jiang Xia was wielding, scattering countless green blood flowers in the air.

Joker's monstrous body was cleaved away, and the blood gushing from the deep, bone-revealing wound stained the ground green as he writhed in agony.

"Roar!"

Joker suddenly stood up, clutching his bleeding wounds, and staggered into the depths of the jungle.

He knew that his current combat ability was not yet at its peak and that he might not be able to defeat the guy in front of him who was wearing the body of a human undead beast, so he wanted to buy himself a chance to escape.

But I never expected the difference in combat power to be so huge, I couldn't even withstand a single move.
