Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Ash...A, I don't care what your name is." The girl, meeting the man's pure black eyes, saw the same color in them. "If you desire something, it should be obtained through love, not other cruel means."

"This is the rule of our world. Any problem?"

"You Pretty Cures, every single one of you is an idiot." After switching the sword from his right hand to his left, Ash glanced at Mana and the others from the side. "If I win the next battle with Ayumi, it means that Kamen Rider is stronger than Pretty Cure. Do you accept that?"

"Alright, alright, whatever you say is fine." Mana, somewhat resigned, sat on the ground and waved at the man, who was of course powerless. "I'm not as obsessed with winning as you guys are."

"Indeed." Miyuki, leaning against Mana with a similar sense of helplessness, sighed with exhaustion. "Boys always compare which character they like to see as stronger... They're both heroes of justice, fighting side by side like in fairy tales, isn't it better? Hahahaha..."

"Because he just can't express himself directly without using his fists." Looking at the distance between Ayumi and Ash, Lei pouted with a hint of resentment. "Looking at what's in the bowl, he's still craving what's in the pot. Is Manager Ash trying to hook up with someone new again..."

"indeed..."

"indeed."

Pretending not to hear the Pretty Cure's diss comments about him, Ash tried his best to maintain a fighting spirit as he approached the benefactor who had helped him until the very last moment.

"After this is over, I'll make you admit your mistakes, Ash." Cure Echo raised his hands before him, clenching his fists with a crackling sound. "You'll have to explain how you toyed with and deceived their feelings, too!"

The three Pretty Cure girls who were sitting nearby watching the show suddenly felt their eyes light up when they heard this.

"Then..." Ash, feeling somewhat amused and helpless, could only raise the Holy Light Sword in his left hand in response.

"I really can't lose."

Chapter 97: You want to use my method to defeat me?

As Lei said, in some cases, Ash is an awkward guy who can't speak the truth without using his fists.

Originally, this battle was an "excuse" given by Ash to Mana and the others to vent their dissatisfaction with him, and it was also his final farewell to them... But he didn't expect that Ayumi would get involved and even take over on her own initiative, but Ash has always been indifferent.

As long as it's a serious challenge, he will accept it!

"Ayumi! Come on!"

"Show this shameless harem man some lessons!"

"You can definitely defeat Ash and teach him a lesson. We believe in you!"

Listening to the various cheers from Mana and the others, a smile gradually appeared under the knight's mask.

It's normal for Pretty Cure fans to cheer each other up, and I understand that, but...

Why is there no one to cheer me on?! I belong to you after all—how heartless!

When an unresolved emotional affair is exposed and triggers widespread public outrage, the harem protagonist's previously high popularity among the beauties can only be described as a tragedy. This is also one aspect of harem novels.

Not thinking about these somewhat disappointing things for the moment, Ash narrowed his eyes slightly as he held the long sword in his left hand. He wanted to experience Ayumi's current situation with himself. How was she going to attack him?

So in front of him, the girl slowly extended her clenched right hand, and created a subtle distance between her bent left knee and her right leg, which was ready for battle, forming a posture that was both offensive and defensive.

But what made Ash's eyes suddenly widen was not her preparation, but this action - it was mine!

This should be the universal stance that her former "self" used to strike in front of her when fighting. Is she imitating the correct fighting posture in her mind?

"Cure Echo.....You want to use my fighting style to defeat me?"

The girl didn't answer, but started with Ash's usual provocation, curling two fingers and waving at him.

"How presumptuous of you! Poor fellow!"

The six sharp tentacles on his back that were rooted in the ground provided the power to launch him towards Ayumi like a missile.

From top to bottom! The girl bent her knees slightly and caught the knight who was about to hit her.

The girl, who was only as tall as Ash's chest in comparison, did the opposite of what was common sense. She supported the tall knight with her thin arms and legs, and directly flipped him over and threw him out!

Just as Ash said, Ayumi, who was imitating Ash's common skills, rushed forward as usual. The collision of the pure white wrist tube and the holy emblem sword made crisp sounds. She adopted a fierce attack and suppression method, as radical as dancing on a string and brushing past danger. This was exactly Ash's common strategy.

However, Ash was still wielding the sword with ease.

The sword wind from the reversed robe brushed lightly against the girl's bare shoulders. The girl rolled over to avoid it, turned around, half-crouched on the ground, and raised her leg to strike. However, the attack that was obviously a sure thing was easily blocked by him, as if he could foresee the future and blocked the sword there in advance.

After all, he definitely knew how to best neutralize the attack.

"This matter originally had nothing to do with you."

The man's voice deepened with a hint of pity.

There are already many people who are sad about my leaving, Ayumi... You can live your own life, there is no need for you to be sad for me.

The facts have proven that I am not worthy of you, right?

"It has nothing to do with me?" She didn't know if Ash's words had caused her to misunderstand, or if he was simply trying to distance himself from her, but the girl instantly became furious. Her fists suddenly grew heavy and blazing, repeatedly smashing against the sword and Ash's hand, sending him reeling.

When the six tentacles attacked Ayumi from different angles, the six wings behind her blocked them all at the same angles!

"—!"

A fist of spiritual light shot out from between the wings that had instantly opened, striking the sword he held before his chest. The increasing force knocked the sword from Ash's hand, piercing it beside his own tombstone. The remaining force of the impact pushed him further away, crashing into the Heart Tree.

"The relationship between you and me is huge!"

There was a crisp sound when his neck was twisted, and Ash, with a taste of iron in his mouth, turned over and jumped down from the branch of the big tree in annoyance.

"Are you willing to take me seriously now?"

Hearing Ayumi's cold voice, the man's limit was ignited at this moment. He has never been a good man who can withstand provocation.

I originally wanted to be gentle with you, but now it seems there is no need!

If you want me to take it seriously!

"Then what are you waiting for? Come back with all your strength!"

The ferocious body twisted with completely incomparable agility, supporting the girl's swinging fist and brushing past her from behind! He glared back and kicked the girl's naked back, knocking her to the ground.

"This is the starting point for me to become your legendary name."

"still is!"

As the extremely crisp sound of bones cracking spread throughout his body, the six ferocious tentacles behind him fully expanded with bared fangs and claws, and the weapons on his arms were flowing with black and purple energy.

As Ash burst out with all his heart and soul, the dark aura permeated the beautiful sky behind him like a swaying devil.

"That's—" Lei, who had screamed in surprise, reacted quickly. "It's that assassin substance that the seniors said they had defeated several times by their combined efforts, and it's only getting stronger!"

Sure enough, is this the reason why Ash was resurrected? Conversely, it might also affect Ash, and then have an impact on the entire world!

"Oh no!" They realized that it was not the time to eat melons and immediately couldn't sit still. They wanted to rush over to help. "We can't let this hurt Ash and Ayumi!"

"But how—"

Before they could stand in front of Ash, the man rushed into Ayumi with unmatched inertia, faster than their reaction speed.

"I will end the symbol of legend right now!"

When Ash was about to launch a seemingly irresistible and powerful attack on her, Ayumi had only one response.

"asshole--!"

Pure light as bright as the light of tomorrow transformed into a web of waves that erupted from the girl's entire body, blowing her hair on both sides with a whistling sound as if adding a pair of flying wings to her back.

And that fist wrapped in pure aura, that uppercut that gathered all its strength from bottom to top, rubbing against the air and creating violent sparks! It hit Ash's chin with full force, hitting him right on the chin, sending him flying and the armor on his mouth splattering away.

Ash vaguely realized it.

This, this power——!

It's like you used it just for me!

Chapter 98: True Power

Behind the girl, the tips of her six fully spread wings continuously emitted purifying light.

"Guwa——"

The dark energy emanating from the knight vanished as quickly as snow under the blazing sun upon impacting Ayumi. This form, transformed entirely by its own consciousness, responding to the girl's inner thoughts, grew in response to her wishes. The purifying light emanating from his entire body reacted specifically to this man's energy, as if it existed solely to sweep away all darkness.

Even the light waves emitted from the girl's fist continued to fly upwards violently, turning into some kind of miraculous huge light column that rushed straight into the sky, sweeping away all the darkness that had originally permeated the sky.

One punch! Open the sky!

----

"Wow!"

Lihua and the others who climbed up the tree were almost blown down again by the violent wind of the explosive energy.

"Danger!" Fortunately, at the last moment, Meng Yuanwang next to her pulled her hand and climbed up from the edge.

"Thank you!" Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Lihua looked at the pure white girl in the distance whose hair was blowing upwards with the explosion. For a moment, she didn't know whether to feel relieved or happy. "Ayumi...you are already so amazing."

As the battle went on, more and more Pretty Cures came to the Heart Tree, originally intending to end the battle. However, after learning the ins and outs of the matter from Mana and the others, they joined the crowd of onlookers to witness such a decisive battle.

It was precisely because of this that they were able to witness the scene with extremely shocked expressions.

It's often said that two people make a Precure, but now, even though Cure Echo is alone, she's bursting with power stronger than any single person, as if - there's another person fighting alongside her.

"This is yours, our weapon!" Ayumi pulled the Holy Emblem Sword from the ground. Seeing her own eyes reflected in the blade, she thought of the young man who stood up and blocked her with the sword that night. "Now, let me use it."

"Master Ash, we're here to help you!"

Before Ash could say anything, five beautiful girls with bad endings jumped down from the belt with their fangs bared, waving dark evil light at the girl in front of them with the momentum to tear Ayumi to pieces.

She's just a passerby woman - why are you so arrogant!

Faced with the five new targets that suddenly appeared, Ayumi's response was equally clear.

He thrust his hand forward, grabbed Bad Happy's face as she struggled, and slammed it into the ground. He swung his sword wildly, sending Bad Beauty and the ice sword flying as she stared in disbelief.

With a twist of her wrist, she slashed the blade across her face, slicing through the incoming wind and flames. With her other hand, she hooked Bad March in the stomach, knocking him to the ground. The sword, much too large for a young woman, twisted in her hand like an arm, slashing diagonally and horizontally, then sending the flames flying from Bad Sunny, sending him sprawling to the ground.

He twisted the hilt of the sword with his backhand and thrust it out behind him, hitting Bad Peace on the forehead who was trying to launch a sneak attack. Then he raised his hand and thrust the sword out like a spiral, pointing it directly at Ash's heart.

"Why, are you willing to acknowledge me now?"

Whether you are A or Ash, the result is the same!

"To your existence, or to your feelings?"

After recovering their strength, the bone spur and the long sword stabbed out with the same force and hit each other's chest. Amidst the violent explosion of sparks, they suddenly stepped back several steps.

"Both of them, idiot Ash!"

The girl moved aside to avoid the attack from Ash who appeared from behind. When she turned around and raised her high heel to sweep towards Ash's exposed chin, someone grabbed her ankle and threw her into the distance.

Poison, spikes, lightning, and petrification were all useless in front of Ayumi's specially evolved "Purifying Power". The only thing Ash could rely on at this moment was his unconditional violence.

As the six tentacles moved like snakes and stretched out swiftly towards the backward-flying Ayumi, the six suddenly opened wings flapped like a hurricane to stabilize the girl's body. Then, after throwing out the six burning ice balls on the top of the wings, they froze the tentacles all the way and made them unable to move.

"Come again——"

He simply broke free from the tentacles fixed on his back and swung his sharp arms into a vast shadow that enveloped Ayumi, but she managed to dodge all the attacks with minimal effort without getting hurt.

The girl, whose body danced like the wind, jumped high to avoid the horizontal attack in front of her, and kicked hard to the chest again, knocking him all the way out.

Now she had completely gotten rid of her previous imitation of Ash's movements, and in turn knocked him to his knees with greater speed and force.

This reminded Ash of the girl's perfect appearance when she first transformed. Her clean and neat fighting skills after completing the transformation were no less than any respectable opponent he had ever met.

Ha... Come to think of it, Ayumi seems to be really good at fighting. I was really lucky to meet her at that time.

"Let me repeat it again," the man said, pushing himself up from the ground. "I was definitely wrong."

After grabbing the O-scan ring at his waist and brushing the coin on his belt, Ash jumped up and kicked the girl in the air with an extremely standard knight posture!

Looking up at the dark light that was struggling to leave the assassin's substance on the man, the girl took a deep breath and concentrated all her strength on the bow emblem on her chest.

From the tiny starlight to the girl's palm, it has merged and sublimated into an incomparably huge and pure light.

I also see that there seems to be something dark sealed within you.

Since A and Ash are the same person...then it's only natural for me to do this, right?

"Let my thoughts resound throughout the world!"
