Kamen Rider: Evolution

"Ah, the Ixa he's using is far more powerful than the ones the two of us are using."

The wolf reverted to its original form, and the wounds on its body from the beating were still slightly bleeding.

"Rook!" A furious voice came from the stone-paved path beside them.

The sound attracted everyone's attention at the same time.

"How could Yuri be here!" Jiro and Akane's expressions changed drastically, and they exchanged a panicked glance.

"Sigh!" Jiang Xia sighed inwardly. If he hadn't suddenly sensed her presence, he wouldn't have needed to intervene at all in this test.

In contrast, the Lion Fang Blood Demon is much more straightforward; he just wants to fight.

With its two hands exchanging blows, it raised its lion-like head and rammed it fiercely towards Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia was not to be outdone; his physical body was not much weaker than that of the Lion Fang Blood Demon.

With a thought and a push of the feet, the power within the body flows rapidly.

Concentrate on the head, instantly enveloping the skull, and then slam forward with equal force.

Just as the two collided, Yuri Aso, who was not far away, pulled out a long whip made of steel bars and lashed it hard at the back of the Lion Fang Blood Demon.

"Oh!"

Another dull thud followed, and the Lion Fang Blood Demon's body trembled. Its originally ferocious maw opened, emitting a painful sound.

Jiang Xia, standing to the side, also took a few steps back, covering his head with his hand where he had just collided with his head. He was feeling dizzy.

The Lion Fang Blood Demon reacted in the same way. After its head collided with Jiang Xia's, it also felt dizzy and didn't even have time to react to the attack from Aso Yuri behind it.

However, Yuri Aso continued to attack the Lion Fang Blood Demon from behind.

However, the Lion Fang Blood Demon quickly reacted and slapped Aso Yuri away.

He snatched the weapon from her hand and, with a slight effort, snapped the steel weapon in two.

"I will come back to find you again; you are a worthy opponent."

The lion looked at Jiang Xia, whose image was slightly blurred, roared, and then stomped down, disappearing into the forest like a tiger returning to its lair.

Yuri Aso glared resentfully at the departing Lion Fang Blood Demon, clenching her fists tightly. She could only watch helplessly as her mother's killer swaggered away.

"Drip drip!"

The Ixa system around his waist suddenly sounded an alarm, and white smoke began to rise from all the joints in his body.

Meanwhile, the Ixa boxing gloves were constantly emitting a red glow.

"Is it time?" Jiang Xia asked in a low voice, looking at the alarms emanating from his body.

He took off the Ixa belt from his waist and casually tossed it toward Akane.

"Jiang Xia, this is something very important, don't just throw it away," Hong Yin said.

He quickly took a few steps forward and caught the Ixa glove as it flew through the air.

"Jiang Xia?"

Yuri Aso slowly raised her head and looked at the figure reaching out to her, momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Chapter 54 Plan

"I'm back, Yuri." Jiang Xia stood in front of Aso Yuri, a smile on his face.

Yuri Aso stared blankly at Jiang Xia, who had helped her up. Her heart ached, and she opened her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.

In Yuri Aso's eyes, he seemed unchanged; he was still wearing the clothes they had bought together before.

A black short-sleeved shirt and trousers that slightly revealed her ankles, and that ever-present smile gave her the illusion of time travel.

Suddenly, her legs went weak, as if all the bones in her body had been removed, and she fell forward.

Jiang Xia instinctively reached out and pulled her into his arms, looking at her closed eyes.

Jiang Xia's heart seemed to skip a beat, and he immediately began to examine Aso Yuri's body.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after Jiang Xia's examination revealed that there was nothing wrong.

She simply fainted due to extreme joy or sorrow; there were no other injuries on her body.

"How is Yuri?"

Akane and Jiro, who were standing nearby, were startled when they saw Aso Yuri faint.

They were too far away to help, and could only watch helplessly as she collapsed into Jiang Xia's arms.

"It's nothing, she was just too emotional and couldn't adjust for a while. Let's leave this place first, Yuri needs to rest now."

Jiang Xia carried the unconscious Aso Yuri back to Akane's house with Jiro.

He put Yuri Aso in his room where he had stayed the day before, then quietly left and went downstairs.

On the first floor, Jiang Xia sat on the sofa, with a square wooden table in front of her.

Meanwhile, Hongyin and Cilang each sat on a small stool, sitting obediently on the wooden table.

Jiang Xia took the initiative to speak, saying, "This was my mistake. I didn't expect Yuri to suddenly appear there."

Ci Lang looked at Jiang Xia and said slowly, "I admit that I was too confident before, thinking that we could defeat the war chariot together, but now it seems that we were not prepared enough."

"I never expected that the little puppy who always comes here would apologize." Looking at Tsuro's face, Akane also said.

"That's still better than your shabby Ixa outfit," Cilang roared fiercely at Hongyin.

"What! I beat you to a pulp with Ixa, if I were a nobody, then what are you?"

"You might as well hand Ixa over to Jiang Xia, so it won't get destroyed as soon as it enters the arena," Ci Lang said, looking at the silent Jiang Xia beside him.

"Alright, that's not the issue now. No one can defeat Rook head-on with Ixa. We need to weaken him."

Jiang Xia looked at the Ixa placed on the table and said.

"Since we cannot enhance our own combat capabilities, we can only consider weakening the enemy."

The biggest problem now is how to weaken him, or what methods can be used to significantly deplete Rook's stamina.

"Regarding the issue of Ixa wearers, I suggest they take turns, trying to deplete the tank's power as much as possible."

"This way, we can weaken him while preserving our combat capabilities as much as possible," Jiang Xia said, tapping the table.

"That's the only way."

Upon hearing Jiang Xia's suggestion, both Hong Yin and Ci Lang nodded in agreement.

As Jiang Xia and the others began to discuss, Aso Yuri, who was in a coma, slowly opened her eyes. She sat up and looked around with a slightly blank expression.

Her memory was still fixed on Jiang Xia, who reached out his hand to her, and Rook, the enemy who killed her mother, before she seemed to enter a dreamless sleep.

"This is... Akane's house?" Aso Yuri pondered for a moment before arriving at her answer.

She had been here before, though she had only visited briefly.

Suddenly, a murmur of conversation reached her ears, and the content of it made her involuntarily walk forward.

"The Ixa system has limitations and too many side effects; the average person's body cannot transform twice in a row."

So, according to the plan, the second wolf will transform first, then Akane Otoya, and finally me. Because the Ixa system is under too much strain, it must be deactivated before reaching its limit.

"What are the side effects of the Ixa system if they are not addressed in time?"

This thought suddenly flashed through Yuri Aso's mind.

"If the damage is not relieved in time, the person subjected to excessive load could be seriously injured."

Even a werewolf of the secondary race would expend a great deal of energy and become weak.

Jiang Xia's voice from downstairs was transmitted directly into Aso Yuri's mind.

"Yeah, as long as Rook stays in his Ixa system transformation state and his stamina is depleted, isn't that a way to weaken him?"

Yuri Aso hurriedly spoke downstairs.

Hearing Aso Yuri's voice, Jiang Xia smiled inwardly. If he remembered correctly,

This plan was originally proposed by her; he is simply guiding her to think this way.

Her movements upon waking up could not escape the notice of Jiang Xia, who possessed superhuman senses.

Since it's already been discovered, let her participate as much as possible, so that she can see the opportunity to avenge her mother.

Seeing her enemy die before her eyes, the regret in her heart would surely disappear.

"Yuri, you're awake!" ×2

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll also participate in your operation to take down Rook, and the suggestion I just made should be pretty good, right?"

Aso Yuri slightly raised her fair chin and said to Jiang Xia.

“This…” Hongyin and Cilang looked at Jiang Xia at the same time.

"Yes, it's not bad." Jiang Xia nodded.

"I've grown a lot while you were gone." Aso Yuri unceremoniously pushed Jiang Xia to one side of the sofa.

"If we do it that way, then the transformation order should be adjusted. The first one should be Akane Otoya, and then it should be me."

Jiang Xia ignored Aso Yuri's actions and turned to the two of them to continue speaking.

"By using Ixa to deplete Rook's stamina, and then Akane transforms into Ixa to fight him alongside you monsters."

"Yuri and I will assist from the sidelines. If Ixa's time is up, then it'll be my turn," Jiang Xia concluded.

Aso Yuri looked at Jiang Xia, and that familiar feeling of cooperating with him, devising plans, seeing through weaknesses, and then her taking charge of the front line returned.

However, she didn't notice at all that Hongyin and Cilang were staring fiercely at Jiang Xia, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" A question slowly rose in Jiang Xia's mind. Weren't they discussing tactics? Why did they suddenly go silent?

“It’s alright, the plan is excellent. When do we make our move?” Hongyin asked as well.

"Once you've recovered, you'll know that you were all injured today. Even freaks need time to rest and adjust their condition."

Jiang Xia stood up from the sofa and said.

Aso Yuri and Enatsu left Akane Otoya's house together. Yesterday was an unexpected situation, and today they naturally went back to their own homes.
