Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

The girls were all stunned when they saw the cloaked monster with eyes suddenly jumping out and blocking their way. It felt like it was stronger than the Castle of Despair but slightly weaker than the Castle of Doom. And no matter how they looked at it, this thing looked a bit like Locke at that time.

"The executives at Distak are actually clones of the Witch of Despair." As someone who's been cleansed, having an exposé like Yongjiu revealing the boss's true colors is incredibly convenient. "These are likely the same powers he used to blacken Chrollo."

"Now that we have allocated so much, are we going to use it to stop us?"

"It's in mass production?" Upon hearing this, Ash immediately turned his gaze towards them. "After all, it belonged to your former enemy. Is it okay to hand it over to you now?"

There was no need for Ash to say anything more. The girls had already started fighting with these cloaked monsters that looked 80% like Locke.

Seeing how they easily defeated the larger force with fewer troops, it was well known that as long as they were labeled as mass-produced, no matter how powerful the enemy had been in a tough battle, they would only become weaklings who were focused on being spawned.

"Ash." Nan, who had just been forced to undo his transformation and was being carefully protected by Ash, leaned against him, guarding against any sneak attacks, and said carefully to him, "I wanted to tell Ash something last time, but I missed it."

So now I’m taking this opportunity and don’t want to miss it a second time.

"I once said that I wanted to be like the elders of the Kaito family, but I realized that my real dream wasn't to inherit the Kaito Group as planned. I really wanted to be someone else."

He kicked back a cloak that was seeping through him, and then cut it into four pieces with two swords, while Ash listened quietly to the thoughts during the battle behind him.

"My family has been so kind to me and raised me so carefully, but I suddenly changed my mind. Isn't that too selfish?"

I still can't figure it out. This kind of complicated thing is the same for everyone, so I think only Ash can give me the answer.

"Isn't it the same?" Ash asked, responding to the doubt that had been lurking in Nan's heart. "Are your family the kind of people who will definitely force you to grow up according to their dictated path?"

"Of course not!"

"Then isn't it the same thing?" No matter how many layers of logic there are, to Ash, as long as he sees through the essence, it's all the same. "Your dream is to become a great person who can help others like your family, right?"

Of course I believe that no matter who you are, you will be a kind and helpful person.

"It's just that the method of implementation is different. What's the difference?"

"Ash, you're really amazing."

The problem that had been bothering me was solved with just a few words from him.

"But speaking of dreams."

"I seem to have found my dream."

"Eh--!!!"

With one punch, he smashed the last cloaked monster that was approaching into pieces. Everyone, including the elf, who turned around suddenly, let out a cry of sincere surprise.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?

"After all, Ash never said that!"

In the past, Ash always said that he had no dreams at all, and that he did everything based on his own desires. He said that he could do anything, so naturally he didn't have any dreams.

But today, Ash actually admitted it! Sure enough, the sun rises from the west, doesn't it?!

"Don't talk like I'm some alien!"

"I just don't want to disappoint the people who care about me."

Just like when he faced the monster transformed by Haruka, the thought that suddenly popped up in his mind was "I must not make the same mistake again."

When his past self was reawakened along with some of his memories, the accumulation of all his experiences so far became a satisfying answer in his heart.

"Pretty Cure, I'm so grateful to have met you," Ash confessed nonchalantly. "If you hadn't been the ones to tolerate my willfulness in the first world I met, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to reflect on myself, and I would have completely disappointed those who had high hopes for me."

"so?"

"So, it's just as you think." Thinking of those happy things from the past, Ash smiled from the bottom of his heart. "Now I have become the amazing existence that I could only admire before."

To some extent, I am close to you "heroes", right?

"I really want my old friends to see the changed me now."

As he spoke, Ash thought of "their" faces at the beginning and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"And to my parents who were once abandoned by me and must be very disappointed in me."

"I really want them to see how powerful I, this unfilial son, am now."

"Nice dream."

The very supportive Catherine arrived before the voices, and appeared in front of them clapping her hands like any qualified villain.

"But is there still a chance of it happening?"

Chapter 193: The Battle Begins! Ash vs. Catherine!

It's that person!

It was the person who deceived them with the identity of "Saya", and now he has schemed against them so badly, and he had also made them all suffer a setback!

When the girls saw Catherine appearing surrounded by more mass-produced "cloaked monsters", they all became nervous and alert.

"You actually came out by yourself?"

Putting away the slightly relaxed expression he had just shown after sharing his dreams with everyone, Ash, acting serious, clasped his hands over his chest.

"Really, what a guy who ruins the atmosphere!"

This person might not be the strongest... but he's definitely the most dangerous! That's how they feel!

"The guy who's been hiding behind the scenes and plotting against me has finally come out on his own initiative," Ash scoffed, his arms folded across his chest. "I was just trying to figure out how to catch you next time, but instead of using the same tactics, your honesty is so frank I'm almost ready to praise you."

If you actually come forward on your own initiative, don't think that we will let this great opportunity go to waste.

Everyone here hates you!

"Oh my, to be taken seriously by both the hope of this world and its powerful spokesperson is truly humbling."

The girls gripped the Crystal Princess' magic wand tightly, even the two elves on the ground bared their teeth at her. Even facing the combined hostility of the five Kamen Riders and Pretty Cure, her face never betrayed a single sign of being overwhelmed.

"I didn't intend to run away. I just wanted to come and see you guys."

The full-body black cloak that was originally used to wrap her body and conceal her identity gradually fitted inwards onto her body, transforming into a simple yet noble black Western-style dress.

Then Catherine took the initiative to lift the hem of her skirt, and as if dancing a gorgeous round dance, she bowed to everyone and delivered her opening speech.

"Greetings, hello everyone, please allow me to introduce myself again."

"My name is Catherine, Catherine Frederica. I sincerely apologize for the trouble this has caused everyone, and I would like to express my deepest gratitude for welcoming a latecomer like me!"

If we don't consider his identity as Disdak, as the opposite, as the enemy.

Now, judging by the calmness and beauty in her demeanor, she is the most like a "princess" among all the princesses present.

"You actually said you caused us trouble." He had clearly caused so much trouble for them, and the result was just a bland "trouble" and a light apology? Qiluo and the bad-tempered Twilight were already a little angry. "You, you don't want to beg for mercy now, do you?"

"Unless you kneel down right now and sincerely apologize to everyone." The Dark Princess's deep aura was fully revealed at this moment, and Twilight's red eyes seemed to be about to tear her smiling face apart. "Otherwise, don't expect anyone here to forgive you!"

Unlike the Pretty Cure, I joined because of Ash. I've never considered being a good person, but I'm still the Dark Princess. Even if you're soft-hearted, don't think I'll let you go!

"Ah la la~ That's not the case." Katherine, facing the twilight that seemed to want to kill with her eyes, acted as if she hadn't felt anything. She pulled out a long crimson staff from her hand and continued smiling. "I'm talking about the trouble I've caused you."

The sudden warning made Twilight and Yongjiu simultaneously turn their heads away.

Whoosh-!

Covering her cheek that was almost scratched, the girl looked at the wand that was raised and pointed at her with an extremely ugly expression.

"From now on, it's just the beginning."

But if a young girl of only a few hundred years old is expected to give up in the face of such a threat, it would seem unworthy of the bad guys.

"What a person you are!"

I'm angry, we're really angry! Don't think someone like you who has done so many bad things will be forgiven like others!

Compared to the extremely angry Pretty Cure, Ash, who was lost in thought, kept repeating the name.

"Katherine Frederica..."

This name is most likely a pseudonym, so I have never heard of it, but why?

Why is it that I feel so familiar, so familiar that I can't even feel hostile?

Unable to find the reason for the time being, Ash did not dwell on it too much, but instead focused his attention on the battle in front of him.

Something you can't understand? Just let's show each other's wills through our intertwined fists in battle! That way, we'll eventually understand!

"kivat!"

Although the one I own is probably not a genuine "toothed bat", it doesn't matter. I'm used to calling it that anyway.

"[Ash, Kiva, come on!]"

See, even He Himself has no objection.

He raised his right hand and grasped the flying kivat, and the sharp teeth pierced into Ash's tiger mouth. As the power of the Demon King surged in his body, four fang marks emerged from around his cheeks.

"[I bite!]"

"Henshin! (Transform)"

Ash stood with the Pretty Cure members in front of the emerald "kiva" emblem.

"It's really irrational to want to challenge all of us."

"Ah, but I never said I was coming alone." After receiving Catherine's order, the cloaked monsters suddenly rushed towards them as if they had been buffed by a rampage buff! "You know what? They clearly hate me, but they were willing to lend me their troops just because I asked. Lady Despair, you're surprisingly easy to fool~"

Why do we need to know this? They had no idea what this person meant by suddenly saying this, but seeing this already powerful cloaked monster rushing towards them even more frantically, everyone immediately tensed up as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Oh no!" Although they were prepared, these monsters had a clear goal. They forcefully inserted themselves between them and forcibly divided the battlefield!

The anxious girls kept punching and kicking the monsters but there was no big reaction. They just kept shouting words like despair and stood up again without retreating. There was nothing that could stop them except the light they feared the most.

Just as Ash reacted and summoned the Demon King Sword, turning around to support them.

"The real me."

The blood-red light pierced straight towards the knight's open back!

"I really want to fight with you guys."

Chapter 194: Fighting, so cool!

"Ash!"

"clang!"

When the sound of metal clashing rang out from the smoke and dust between the two men, until the smoke around them dissipated, the nervous girls finally saw the fight.

"Oh my, you actually blocked it with this move?"

The Demon King's sword, which was gleaming all over, was held behind Ash's backhand as if he had eyes, blocking the attack of the blood-red magic wand.

"Isn't that natural?"

When I was a real swordsman, I was defeated by this move at a critical moment. How could I not understand it?

The backhand sword followed with two decisive "clangs", knocking the long staff in Catherine's hand back. After taking the rhythm of the battle back into his own hands, Ash put away his arms and stabbed the opponent's vital points with two lightning-fast swords! However -

"clang!"

Blocked! Even Ash found it hard to believe. At this distance, the opponent didn't use the staff's advantage to deflect his attack or simply dodge it. Instead, he used the thin and narrow shaft to block his thrust! It was as if he had known about it and put it there beforehand!

After failing to land a strike, Ash continued his pursuit, his feet twitching. Just as he was about to slash her into "Kaijue/Bilin" with a powerful horizontal slash from his spinning sword, the sure-shot strike passed right through her ethereal form. When he looked again, he realized that the creature he had severed had been replaced by a nearby cloaked monster.

"That was a close call, Ash is really amazing." Catherine stuck out her tongue and slapped her chest in a rather exaggerated manner. "It wasn't easy to trick you with that trick just now."

Misleading others about their true location within their minds, and even capable of actual physical teleportation when conditions are met, this ability is particularly difficult for those with strong wills. Originally a special ability used to perceive and manipulate minds, it has now developed into something much more powerful in Catherine's hands!

"It turns out to be a fake."

Restarting his confrontation with Catherine who always smiled at him, Ash under the mask couldn't help but lick his dry lips with his tongue.

Dark Kiva's power is very strong, and the Demon King Sword "Zanvat Long Sword" is even stronger, not to mention the almost endless Demon King power in his body.

And all of this was taken over by this woman who always had a twisted smile on her face.

"finally..."
