Kamen Rider: Evolution

Strength rating: B++

Conditions for crossing over: Kill the current world's King of the Fang Vampires.

Looking at the updated panel, Jiang Xia, who was dressed as the Demon Emperor Kiva, also noticed the difference.

Its evolutionary level, which had been stagnant for a long time, has advanced further, its lifespan has increased by more than forty years in one go, and its strength has gone from just entering the cadre level to now being at the top of the cadre level.

If he were to play Rook again, he wouldn't need any other support and could easily beat the former Lion Fang Blood Demon to a pulp.

On the other hand, he can combine the power of his Blood Demon with the Kiva Emperor form, which can unleash tremendous power in an instant. The power of the Emperor is already the limit of the third generation Kiva Knight system.

However, with the support of his other powers, Jiang Xia was confident that he could temporarily hold off Dark Kiva.

In other words, Jiang Xia now finally has the qualifications to fight against the Blood Demon King.

Most importantly, now that Jiang Xia has transformed into Dark Kiva, he no longer has to worry about losing lifespan.

His current bloodline of the Vampire is already top-tier, allowing him to fully utilize the power of Dark Kiva.

Therefore, if we can persuade the second generation of Fang Bat, then there is hope for advancing to a higher level.

After confirming his status and carefully experiencing the power of Demon Emperor Kiva, Jiang Xia deactivated Demon Emperor Kiva's transformation.

He wasn't equipped with the Demon Emperor Dragon; he single-handedly broke the seal on the Kiva Armor with his own formidable strength.

Kival, whose state was connected to Jiang Xia's, also felt unwell immediately. This was caused by the resonance between the power of the Demon Emperor Kiva within him and that of Jiang Xia.

……

The days when cherry blossoms bloom are always beautiful; that touch of pink occasionally drifts into the air.

This was the most beautiful April, and also a week after Jiangxia returned in 2008. Time flew by like flowing water.

During this week, Wataru successfully awakened the power of the Demon Emperor Dragon, and the Fang Blood Demon that tried to harm Megumi Aso was torn to shreds by the enraged Wataru.

Jiang Xia watched the show from a nearby tree, enjoying a free feast. He remembered that the Blood Demon's species seemed to be a grizzly bear.

Although he's a bear, he has a human wife, which is only thanks to Akane Otoya.

If he hadn't conquered the previous empress, this bear would have been eliminated by Maya long ago. It's good that he died at the hands of her son.

Conversely, the opportunity that Jiang Xia had been waiting for for a week finally arrived: Suzuki Fuka, who had inherited the Empress's power, was finally found by Jiang Xia.

Using the imprint of the chariot, Jiang Xia sensed the moment Suzuki Fukao awakened her Empress powers.

Meanwhile, the bishop and Taiya, who also possessed the mark, successfully learned of the awakening of the current empress.

Da, da, da.

Footsteps echoed through the deep, dark villa, spreading far into the silence, which was eerily quiet.

The bishop walked forward at a steady pace, his back straight, his expression serious, not daring to make a sound, as still as a dark pool.

Passing through the empty hall, the bishop placed his hand over his heart and respectfully faced the upward stone steps:

"Your Majesty, your fiancée has been born into this world. Please allow me to bring her back."

"Bishop, don't make the same mistake as the previous queen," Taiya reminded the respectful-looking bishop.

Akane's abduction of Maya is a great disgrace to the Fangblood Demon clan.

"I know what to do. I will eliminate any strange man who comes into contact with the Queen."

The bishop lowered his head, not daring to meet the young king's gaze.

“There is one more thing, Your Majesty: the power that the chariot lost has awakened once more,” the bishop said.

“Find him and bring him back together. It’s time for the Fang Blood Demons to gather their strength,” Taiya said.

The news of the Queen's appearance greatly excited Taiya; the time had come to integrate the power of the Fang Blood Demons.

It has been 22 years since the last gathering of the officers. The power of the Fangbloods has diminished considerably, and now is the best time.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Having said that, the bishop said no more and walked step by step into the darkness of the hall, using the faint moonlight filtering through the windows.

Halfway up the steps, he subconsciously looked up and saw that the king who had been sitting on the steps had left, leaving only an empty throne.

The throne on the steps was placed in the shadow of the moonlight, as if it had never been occupied from the beginning.

The bishop withdrew his gaze and respectfully closed the gate. Due to the lack of Kiva's power, Delan Castle, which originally belonged to the Fang Blood Demon's stronghold, had been seized.

Dark Kiva also disappeared without a trace along with the previous queen, which is why the throne was placed on the ground.

"No matter how strong that imposter's power is, only the King can inherit Dark Kiva. I will never acknowledge that other successor," the bishop muttered darkly.

……

At the boundary between the woods and the city, a figure in a black shirt was walking unhurriedly, his leisurely demeanor as if he were taking a stroll.

However, those who observe him for a long time will notice that he seems to suddenly disappear and then inexplicably reappear in another place.

Not far in front of that figure.

A young woman was running hurriedly, carrying a large white bag slung across her shoulder, as if she were in a great hurry.

However, no matter how fast the young woman ran, the young man in the black shirt always appeared nearby at the first opportunity.

Although they may be separated for a long time, they will eventually meet.

That's right, Jiang Xia has returned to his old profession as a bounty hunter, but the person he's tracking isn't a wanted criminal, but Suzuki Fukao.

Don't get me wrong, Jiang Xia has absolutely no interest in her. Hong Du might like her type, but he already has Xiao Hui.

Jiang Xia's purpose in observing her was simple: he needed to use Suzuki Fukao's Empress power to find the previous Empress, Maya.

However, it wasn't for any search for a mother, but for Dark Kiva.

At present, Suzuki Mio has only seen the Empress's seal in her palm. As a newly awakened Empress, she cannot even control her power.

In Jiang Xia's eyes, it was like a blazing pillar of fire, exceptionally conspicuous.

The bishop had disappeared and never appeared before Suzuki Fukao, not even providing a tutorial.

"This new empress is such a naive and innocent girl, she seems to know nothing."

Jiang Xia, with an ice pop in her mouth, casually watched Suzuki Fukao, observing her constantly causing trouble at her workplace, as if she were an employee sent from next door specifically to cause chaos.

Yuri is much better than her; at least she never makes mistakes. Jiang Xia looked at Suzuki Fuka, her thoughts drifting off somewhere else.

Suddenly, Jiang Xia's eyes narrowed, and his previous lazy demeanor vanished instantly.

Chapter 61-Awakening

Jiang Xia stared intently at the kitchen staff of the restaurant that had taken in Suzuki Fukao, his body tense.

He could take action at any moment, and at the same time, his own Fang Bat III remained by his side.

Clearly, it sensed it too.

"This is the power of the Empress. It's truly terrifying. She can kill so many people in an instant without them even realizing it."

Moreover, most people lost their lives in that instant, turning into transparent shells. Truly worthy of being called the Queen of the Fangblood Demons.

Different thoughts swirled in Jiang Xia's mind, and he could only hear faint, breaking sounds coming from the kitchen of the restaurant.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled thud was heard as the plate Shen Yang was holding crashed to the ground.

She was obviously just hungry and wanted to eat at her workplace, but she was terrified by the sight of the fallen bodies scattered all over the ground.

After a brief pause, hurried footsteps rushed off into the distance.

Jiang Xia's eyes flickered slightly. Just as she was about to continue following Shen Yang, she suddenly remembered something and silently withdrew her leg that was about to take a step.

After he deactivated his invisibility, a figure dressed in a pure black long robe appeared.

A phantom figure wearing round glasses suddenly appeared next to the restaurant.

"Queen, I've come for you. You can't escape." The bishop pushed up his glasses and said with a sinister smile.

When they realized that the bishop, this vampire executive, had followed the scent to Suzuki Fukao,...

Jiang Xia was just about to continue tracking when the bishop appeared first.

Judging from this, the bishop will likely use some special method to awaken Suzuki Mio's Empress powers.

He deliberately killed the human and the fanged vampire who were in love in front of her.

Or should I let her know in private that I killed many people, so that she will accept my identity as a vampire?

As Jiang Xia followed the bishop, he made guesses in his mind.

However, none of this had anything to do with Jiang Xia; he just wanted to find Dark Kiva.

If it's within your capabilities, you can lend a helping hand to others.

However, if it affects his plans, then that's a different story.

……

"Who are you?" Suzuki Fuka noticed the ill-intentioned person walking towards her, and her heart sank.

The man's eyes were cold and ruthless, like a venomous snake ready to devour its prey, and the air around him tensed up.

Her body involuntarily leaned back slightly, trying to get away from the man.

"You cannot escape your fate, Queen. You have attacked a considerable number of humans without realizing it."

"This is all due to your uncontrollable queenly power."

The bishop revealed a cruel smile.

He had researched the background of this empress; she had grown up as an ordinary human until recently when she began to awaken.

Just like the king back then, they were raised by ordinary humans.

So, the same method that brought the king back to the right path can be used to bring the queen back now.

This was a piece of cake for him.

Just as he had predicted.

Shen Yang, her hands trembling, stumbled backward, repeatedly shouting:

"You're lying, this isn't true."
