Kamen Rider: Evolution

The clear voice emitted by Hidaka Hitoshi, while clearing away the influence of the demonized monster, also seemed to enrage the demonized monster hidden in the sea.

At that moment, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and the endless seawater seemed to be swallowed up by the whirlpool.

Suddenly, a whirlpool rose, the seawater boiled, and a huge head emerged from the whirlpool. It was a dragon with horns and fins, and its body, like a long snake, emerged from the whirlpool. Golden light shone in its porcelain-like eyes.

Its entire body was covered in crimson scales, with yellow horns growing wildly from both sides of its head and grayish-white fur growing from below its neck. Its snake-like body coiled and stretched in the sea, and a pair of golden pupils flickered uncertainly in the towering seawater.

The moment it emerged from the sea, it roared angrily, and the entire sea surface was covered by its undulating body, resembling a giant dragon.

"What...!" Adachi Asumu exclaimed in a terrified voice, her face pale.

Although he had become Hibiki's disciple and had dealt with many demonized monsters with him, this was the first time he had seen such a powerful monster. It was probably something that even demons could not handle.

“It’s a giant serpent! It’s a rather powerful demonized monster,” Jiang Xia explained from the side.

This thing first appeared in the Warring States period. It usually used the sunken Oniwa Castle as its base. Orochi led the children and princesses and was known as the Blood Frenzy Party.

When Orochi appeared, even the seven fully trained demons who joined forces couldn't defeat him. In terms of combat power, Orochi was much stronger than the demons of the Warrior Organization, and over the long years, Orochi became even stronger.

But why would Jiang Xia say that this world is not the end of the world? Because with the power of the giant snake, the abilities that humans possess are completely capable of resolving it; it's just a matter of whether they want to or not.

Orochi's greatest achievement during the Warring States period was controlling a human village and forcing humans to offer sacrifices in an attempt to rule the world. However, he failed to completely destroy the village, which was no match for his planet-destroying power.

If this counts as the end of the world, then the end of the world is truly worthless.

“A powerful demonic beast, huh?” Hidaka Hitoshi looked at the giant beast rising from the sea, picked up the transformation tuning fork that kept resounding with clear sounds, and placed it on his forehead.

Amidst the fluctuations of the clear sound, a protrusion representing a demon slowly appeared on Hidaka Hitoshi's forehead—proof of his demonic nature.

"call!"

With the appearance of the demon mark, mysterious purple flames suddenly ignited, enveloping Hidaka Hitoshi's body and forming a human-shaped torch.

At that moment, the clothes Hidaka Hitoshi was wearing were also burned to ashes by the purple flames.

This is the transformation of a modern demon. After the demon markings appear, different colors and attributes will ignite on the body, and Hibiki is purple flames.

These flames are materialized; each time the character transforms, the clothes they wear are burned away by the flames, and even when the transformation ends, only the armor on their head is removed.

After all, he wasn't wearing any clothes under the armor, and deactivating the transformation in public after defeating the demon would have a bad influence.

Of course, during the Warring States period when the great serpent first appeared, the transformation of a demon would not burn the clothes. The reason for this difference is that the transformation ritual of demons has been interrupted. The current transformation ritual of demons lacks the steps of how to prevent the clothes from being burned during the transformation.

So it's unknown how many clothes were burned to ashes when the demon transformed.

After Gao Renzhi's clothes were completely burned away that day, the purple flames slowly died down, revealing the purple Hibiki armor.

Her entire body was purple, with a round disc in the shape of a magatama carved on it at her waist. Her hands and wrists were red, and the pattern on her head looked like the mouth of a demon. She also had two small horns on her head.

Kamen Rider Hibiki, Hidaka Hitoshi version, makes his debut.

Chapter 556 The Battle of the Demons

Hidaka Hitoshi stared at the powerful demon writhing in the sea, his hands reaching to his waist. With a swift movement, he grasped two vermilion drumsticks in his palms, each head adorned with a miniature demon sculpture.

He aimed the head of the drumstick at the giant serpent in the sea, gripped it tightly with both hands, and a clear sound burst forth, while crimson flames spontaneously ignited on the head of the drumstick.

The giant serpent writhed wildly in the sea, using its python-like tail to stir up tons of seawater. It was not a mindless beast; it was well aware of Hibiki's power, having already experienced Hibiki's ultimate move long ago. Now, seeing that familiar starting stance again, it naturally knew how to deal with it.

The tsunami, with its massive waves of seawater, completely engulfed the shore. The giant serpent's figure appeared and disappeared in the churning water, which acted as a protective shell, preventing it from being directly attacked by the Hibiki.

It disregarded all other demons except Hibiki, because all other demons were too weak.

The tsunami swept towards Hidaka Hitoshi, who was standing on the beach, intending to drown the demon who controlled the flames.

The moment the tsunami struck, Hidaka Hitoshi was suddenly enveloped in a shadow, and from a distance, it appeared that half of his body was submerged by the sudden surge of water.

"Clang!" The two drumsticks, each with a ghost stone embedded in its head, struck each other together, producing a clear sound from the collision of the ghost stones.

"drink!"

As Hidaka Hitoshi's drumsticks produced a clear sound, he forcefully swung them towards the ocean tide with both hands, letting out a sharp and explosive roar.

"Go, Mr. Hibiki!"

Asumu, standing on the shore, raised her arms, clenched her fists, and shouted excitedly when she saw the flames burning, watching Hibiki fight against the raging sea.

Demon Staff Technique: Fiery Bullet!

A fireball powerful enough to ignite everything burst forth from the tips of the two drumsticks as they were swung, propelling the tide several meters into the air!

After detaching from the rod, the two fireballs rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into two enormous fireballs.

The moment the fireball collided with the waves, thick white smoke erupted, enveloping the shore in a haze.

But this layer of smoke could only obscure the vision of ordinary people; it couldn't block Jiang Xia's view. He could see everything that happened in the white fog with perfect clarity.

Two enormous fireballs pierced through the tidal wave that was over ten meters high, and the fireballs struck the yellow scales on the serpent's body.

A violent explosion erupted on the giant snake, its serpentine body thrown backward by the blast, but with a jolt, it straightened up again.

Hibiki's Oni Staff Technique is quite powerful. If it were a regular demon, the Fireball could travel hundreds of meters to burn the demon to ashes.

Even with such a deadly strike, the impact on the giant snake only caused its head to tilt back slightly.

While the power of the ultimate attack was weakened by the waves, it also proves the greatness of Orochi.

Generally, the special moves of demons are basically useless against Orochi.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the giant snake rose high and confronted Hidaka Hitoshi on the shore.

"No one's alright!"

Hidaka Hitoshi was taken aback when he saw the unharmed giant serpent; this guy was a bit too strong.

But in his career of hunting demonic monsters, he was least afraid of powerful enemies.

Since the Flame Bullet's ultimate attack is useless, let's try another one.

Hidaka Hitoshi raised the drumstick in his hand again, and crimson flames rose from his palm, gradually covering the drumstick.

This time it's still the Ghost Staff Technique, but this time it's not about launching fireballs.

He raised the drumsticks high above his head, and flames shot out of the drumsticks toward the sky, with barely visible bright spots in the firelight extending and gradually lengthening.

On the beach, Hidaka Hitoshi braced himself with his legs, looked up at the giant snake, and gradually exerted force with his hands.

The giant serpent also sensed the aura emanating from it. Its body gradually came to a standstill, and only the figure of Hibiki remained in its golden pupils.

"I'm going to teach now, watch closely, Asuka!" Hidaka Hitoshi said softly. This was his habit, and also a teaching method he had figured out on his own.

The drumsticks emitted a continuous, clear sound amidst the flames. Only a clear sound could completely destroy the demonized monster, and the drumsticks in his hands were forged from ghost stone that could produce such a clear sound.

The flames spewing from the drumstick had fully formed, revealing a golden sword blade that extended outwards from the ghost stone at the top of the drumstick, growing to an astonishing length. The original drumstick gradually transformed into a sword hilt.

Ghost Staff Technique: Fiery Sword!

The tide washed over the beach wave after wave. The giant serpent in the sea looked down at the crossed flaming swords. It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and all its evil energy gathered. Its crimson scales rose and fell slowly, and its powerful muscles were gathering enormous energy.

A crimson energy blast formed inside the giant mouth, and the surrounding seawater swirled up to form water columns that circled around it.

The moment the energy blast was completed, it exploded towards the Hibiki on the ground!

Hidaka Hitoshi raised the drumstick, which had become a flaming sword, and aimed it at the giant serpent's head, then swung it with all his might!

With the concentrated energy of flames, two extra-long blades were swung from the drumsticks. The crescent-shaped blades of light sped through the air, forming a cross shape as they swung towards the head of the giant serpent.

This strike is Hibiki's strongest finishing move to date, as fiery as flames and as sharp as a blade.

The giant snake's energy blast, also carrying an extremely high temperature capable of burning matter to ashes, collided violently with the blade's light.

"Boom!"

The energy blast and the blade collided, creating a powerful explosion. A shockwave enveloping the blast swept rapidly in all directions from the center of the collision.

The items left on the beach were directly ignited, and the broken sailboat was turned into charred charcoal by the shockwave of the extremely high temperature, and then shattered into fragments. The sand on the beach also faintly shone under the extremely high temperature.

"Bang bang bang!"

Countless sparks exploded on Hidaka Hitoshi's body, and he let out a miserable scream. The drumsticks in his hands fell to the ground, and his body slowly knelt down on the beach. The Hibiki helmet on his head also disappeared at this moment, revealing a face full of bloodstains.

Hidaka Hitoshi was defeated even after unleashing his ultimate attack, and was completely unable to fight.

In contrast, the giant serpent remained intact on the sea, resembling a raging dragon.

"Mr. Hibiki!" As soon as Asumu saw Hidaka Hitoshi fall, she jumped off the stands and ran wildly across the sand towards the direction where Hidaka Hitoshi had fallen.

"Wake up, Mr. Hibiki! Mr. Hibiki!"

Asumu knelt on the ground and tried to shake Hidaka Hitoshi, who was lying on the ground, but no matter how much he called out, Hidaka Hitoshi kept his eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up.

Orochi's attack was too powerful; Hibiki in his normal state couldn't withstand it at all and was knocked unconscious.

Worse still, as Asumu ran, the golden pupils of the giant serpent in the sea gradually fixed their gaze on him, and a massive shadow slowly enveloped the two of them.

Hunting demonic monsters is no fun; you could lose your life at any moment, just like now.

Both the current incarnation of Hibiki and the next generation of Hibiki's successors are now shrouded in death.

Asumu also saw the shadow looming over his body. He looked up, and the panicked look on his face instantly turned deathly pale.

The giant serpent's body was now positioned directly above Asumu's, its enormous mouth wide open, emanating a strong, bloody stench.

The giant serpent controls the village, and its demands for offerings are not for fun; its offerings are all fifteen-year-old girls, meant to be eaten.

Having been trained by the demon, Asumu possesses an extraordinary attraction to Orochi, namely, her appetite.

So, given such a great opportunity, Orochi certainly wouldn't let it slip by.

The giant serpent now has an elongated body and an open mouth; it certainly won't give up such an excellent prey as Asumu.

Moreover, it wanted to wipe out Hibiki completely, leaving not even a trace. Now that Hibiki is still alive, it certainly wouldn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What if it missed it and Hibiki made a comeback?

"Ah!" Asumu cried out in terror, shielding her head with her eyes tightly shut, too afraid to open them and witness the scene of her being eaten.

The giant snake swam rapidly, its gaping maw plunging into the ground with a snap. With a crack, the spot where Hidaka Hitoshi and Asumu had been standing was now just a crater gnawed into the sand.

The snake chewed quickly, with fine sand constantly flowing out from between its teeth. However, after chewing for a while, it found that the taste was seriously off.

It opened its mouth in confusion, swirled its tongue around inside, trying to taste it, but no matter how hard it searched, it couldn't find the Hibiki or the high-quality food; its mouth was full of sand.

It angrily spat out the sand from its mouth, letting out a roar like a dragon.

Who dared to steal its food?!

Two eerie green flames suddenly burst forth from the serpent's body. After the flames drifted down from the serpent, they transformed into a person dressed in a white kimono and white samurai attire—the serpent's princess and child.
