Knights: The journey of support starting with Faiz

The azure light surrounding Wan Zhanglong surged, and his battle suit developed charred patterns under the intense energy fluctuations.

He was breathing heavily at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Each exhale was accompanied by a scorching wave of air.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ···

However, the knuckles of the fingers that gripped the full bottles and jars turned white from excessive force.

He was furious.

Zhan Tu and Jiang Ye were still facing unknown dangers in the core area, while the gear warrior in front of them was holding him tightly.

Stop hiding! Let's face each other head-on!

Ryuga roared and unleashed a crescent-shaped energy slash, the crimson blade whistling as it sliced ​​through the air.

The Gear Warrior vanished from the spot, and a red and blue phantom appeared behind Ryuga.

. .. ....

The suspended gear phantom suddenly accelerated its rotation, and countless tiny gear fragments, carrying electric current, shot out.

Ryuga rolled away in a disheveled manner, but three bloody scratches still appeared on his back. The intense pain only fueled the ferocity in his eyes.

The Gear Warriors' tactics were terrifyingly precise.

Thanks to the precise calculations of the Caesar system, he always maintained the perfect distance from Ryuga.

Neither distance yourself from your opponent to give them a chance to breathe, nor get too close to engage in a prolonged fight.

Whenever I try to charge forward, those phantom gears form a cage-like defensive matrix.

The sound of metal rubbing together was so loud it hurt my eardrums.

What's even more frustrating is...

The warrior would occasionally launch probing attacks, always avoiding vital points, clearly trying to wear down Ryuga's stamina and patience.

"What is he waiting for...?"

Ryuga wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly realized something was wrong.

The unusual silence on the battlefield made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end; the Naniwa soldiers who should have been patrolling around had long since disappeared.

Chapter 221: True Power

The Gear Warrior's delay might not just be to wear him down, but to buy time for a larger conspiracy.

This realization allowed him to calm down despite his anger.

As the battle continued, the power within Ryuga began to rise at an eerie speed.

His bones cracked, and veins bulged under his skin.

The full bottle resonated with his body, bursting forth with an even brighter light than before.

This increase in power did not stem from system enhancement, but was purely driven by his will, anger, and survival instinct.

His attacks were no longer just a simple brute-force outburst like "127".

Each punch followed a predictable trajectory, gradually tearing through the gear warrior's defensive network.

"break!"

I seized upon a slight evasive mistake by my opponent, and the muscles in my right leg swelled to three times their normal size.

A powerful whip kick slammed into the Gear Warrior's energy shield.

With the sound of shattering glass, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the shield, and the warrior staggered back three steps.

Riding the wave of his victory, Long Wo unleashed a punch carrying a torrent of cyan energy, striking his opponent directly in the abdomen.

The Gear Warrior was sent flying backward, crashing into a metal wall a hundred meters away, leaving a human-shaped dent.

However, the battle was not over.

The Gear Warrior slowly rose to his feet, his originally mechanical eyes now glowing with an eerie crimson.

The phantom gears behind him began to rotate in reverse, emitting a sickening metallic twisting sound.

He spread his arms, and the energy in the air began to converge wildly, forming an energy vortex with a diameter of ten meters.

“Foolish ants, this is the true power of the Caesar System.”

The warrior's voice became mechanical and cold, and the energy beams shooting out from the vortex were several times stronger than before, scorching even the air in their wake.

Long Wo had no time to dodge; the beam of light slammed squarely into his chest.

The enormous impact sent him flying dozens of meters before he crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Just when everyone thought he was about to be defeated, a metallic twisting sound suddenly came from the smoke and dust.

Ryuga knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his fist. His combat suit was tattered, revealing his body covered in wounds.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes burning with an even more intense fighting spirit than before.

"It's not over yet!"

The battle outside the Sky Wall was equally intense.

Misora ​​gripped the camera tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, the constantly shaking footage recording the chaos.

From the cracks in the Sky Wall, swarms of Strikers poured forth, these out-of-control cyborgs roaring as they pounced on the surrounding reporters and ordinary citizens.

Terrified screams erupted from the crowd; some were knocked down, others cried out for their loved ones, and the scene descended into chaos.

"do not come!"

Misora ​​raised her camera to fend off an attacking assailant, but was slapped away by the attacker.

Just when she thought she was about to be torn apart by claws.

A silver figure flashed by, and Saruwatari Kazumi casually tossed out a card.

Bathed in a pale purple light, Kamen Rider Gris's armor covered his entire body...

His movements were as graceful as a dance of death; the purple flames from the Knight's Kick struck the Striker's core precisely, blasting it into countless fragments.

"It's really troublesome."

While complaining in his signature lazy tone, Gris effortlessly dealt with the attacking enemies.

Where his sword flashed, the attacker's body was cleaved in two.

But the number of enemies was simply too great, and gradually his movements became sluggish, with multiple energy gaps appearing on his armor.

"protect yourself!"

Gris took a moment to turn around and shout at Misora, his voice unusually earnest.

He threw out the card again, summoning a huge energy barrier that protected the civilians around him.

The Slammers pounded the barrier frantically, sending sparks of energy flying everywhere.

But Griss remained steadfast.

The air in the core area of ​​the Sky Wall seemed to be squeezed by an invisible giant hand, and the distorted energy field caused strange ripples in the space.

Jiang Ye knelt on one knee, his knuckles deeply embedded in the metal floor.

A blue light condensed in the palm of his fist, forming a constantly rotating energy vortex, and the Dark Build Driver emitted a piercing alarm.

This is a sign of overload.

Ten meters away, Ishidou Souichi was slamming the ice energy bottles in his hands against the earth energy bottle.

The biting cold and surging rock element condensed into ice crystal armor around him.

On that face, twisted in madness, the smile that stretched from the corners of his mouth to his ears almost tore his skin apart.

Chapter 222: Reaching a Stalemate

"Come on! Let me see just how far this so-called limit can go!"

Blood Lurker's roar shook the air, and spiderweb-like ice patterns formed on the metal floor beneath his feet.

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a blue-white streak of light and charged forward.

The energy waves from the palm strikes carved two bottomless furrows into the ground.

Jiang Ye's pupils contracted sharply as he unleashed a punch imbued with all his might.

The azure light collided violently with the torrent of frost.

The shockwave spread outwards, tearing nearby machinery to shreds.

Their figures intertwined constantly amidst the turbulent energy currents.

Bloodlurk's attacks were oppressive, each strike accompanied by a deafening ice explosion.

Jiang Ye, on the other hand, used the Dark Rider's unpredictable movement techniques to keep maneuvering.

Wherever the fist passed, the air was scorched with bluish-black marks.

As the battle intensified, Bloodseeker suddenly ripped open the armor on his chest.

He pressed the two energy bottles directly into his chest, and his aura tripled.

"Smash them completely!"

He raised his hand and summoned a giant ice cone with a diameter of 100 meters.

The sharp chill even caused the metal shell of the Sky Wall to crack.

Jiang Ye revealed a cold smile at this moment, and the core of the Dark Rider Driver suddenly burst out with a dazzling purple light.

A huge phantom appeared behind them.

"You think you're the only one who'd risk your life?"

He stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and his whole body transformed into a blue meteor as he crashed into the ice spikes.

The moment the fist collided with the cone, a blinding light shone from the core area of ​​the Sky Wall.

Even the monitoring system displayed a snowy screen for up to ten seconds.

When the light faded, Xue Qian's ice spikes shattered into countless ice crystals, while he himself was sent flying backward in a sorry state, leaving a hundred-meter-long trail in the ground.

On the other side, the battle of the War Rabbit also reached a stalemate.

He was wearing Build armor that shimmered with iridescent light.

Drawing a perfect arc in the air, the energy blade gathered in his right foot was enough to cut through any matter.

However, when faced with Ino Kengo, who was one with the Sky Wall, all attacks were like throwing mud into the sea.

The opponent's body transformed into flowing metal, rapidly reforming itself each time it was struck.

"Give up, Kiryu Sento!"

Yi Nengxian's voice came from all directions, and the metal structure of the entire space began to twist and deform, turning into countless sharp spikes that pierced towards Zhan Tu.

"When Blood Lurker shares its power with the Sky Wall, this will be your grave!"

War Rabbit rolled around to avoid the attack, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He knew perfectly well that every second of delay increased the danger to Jiang Ye.

Just then, the full bottle at his waist suddenly shook violently.

As if sensing its master's anxiety, it automatically assembled into a form that had never appeared before.

"Could it be..."

A look of surprise appeared in Zhan Tu's eyes, and he quickly formed hand seals.

He channeled the power of the new form into his right leg and charged towards Ino Hyun-gang.

However, the attack was still neutralized. Strange ripples appeared on the surface of Ino Hyun's metallic body, absorbing all the energy.

Just when the battle seemed hopeless, a deafening roar came from inside the Sky Wall.

Wan Zhanglong, dragging his battered body, slowly rose from the ruins.
