Ark Chess Player.

"This power... is truly incredible."

Amiya whispered, trying to adapt to the Rider riding form.

The power of the Vanguard class is not just a fashion show; it also significantly increases Amiya's attributes.

At this moment, Amiya's battlefield mobility has improved from standard to excellent, and her combat skills have also received a dramatic boost. Apart from this, her other stats remain unchanged, without decreasing due to the improvements in other areas.

"Doctor, I will make good use of this power, and use everything you have taught me—"

Amiya pulled off her goggles and raised the gray scarf around her neck, covering her mouth and nose. She instinctively mastered the peculiar weapon in her hand; a warm current flowed from the weapon to her palm, just like when she used to sit in the Doctor's lap. The Doctor held her hand and turned the pages of a storybook, *Hansel and Gretel*, a story about a brother and sister who get lost in the forest and accidentally end up in a nightclub for a wild party.

"It's on fire!"

Amiya leaped forward, a lightness she had never imagined coursing through her body. In the past, due to Oripathy, Amiya always felt as if stones were blocking her blood vessels when she moved. But now it was different; she felt completely relaxed, her speed leaving afterimages!

A rhombus-shaped totem appeared in the void behind Amiya, amplifying her battlefield mobility and combat skills! Moving at high speed, Amiya swung her spiral sword, striking the skeletal hijacker's wounded left leg, tearing away thick bone and creating a spray of amber liquid. This liquid couldn't even keep up with her retreating figure, pouring onto the ground.

Even Gavial was startled; with her dynamic vision, she couldn't keep up with Amiya's movements.

"Ah, Amiya...you're cheating?"

Gavial, holding the Originium Staff, cautiously poked Amiya's shoulder.

"Hehehe, this is the doctor's power, he lent it to me."

Amiya smiled shyly. She felt that she was not just a Kamen Rider, but also connected with the Doctor's spirit. This experience was wonderful! The Doctor's knowledge opened up in her mind, as if she could reach out and grasp what she needed.

"so good."

Gavial looked at Amiya with obvious envy.

"...Wait, Gavial, something's not right."

Just then, Amiya's keen senses detected the sound of something scraping against the plants, as well as the distinctive smell of explosives, which instantly alerted her. She raised her hand to signal Gavial to pay attention, until her gaze returned to the skeletal hostage-taker and she noticed his hand was stuck in the ground.

"Gavial! Watch your step!"

Amiya instantly discerned the other party's intentions, but Gavial couldn't react as quickly as she did.

Fortunately, Amiya managed to grab Gavial's resilient waist in time and leaped up, reaching a height of six meters! The light steel boots unleashed a powerful shockwave, and combined with the omnipresent power within her, she felt an urge to kick.

Amiya's judgment was correct.

The ground where they had been standing turned into lava, the temperature rose sharply, the ground cracked, and explosives shot into the sky!

The skeleton kidnapper activated the amber-colored solution inside its body, buried it in the ground, and altered the environment.

Amiya hugged Gavial's waist tightly and called out, "Miss Gavial!"

"Yes! I'm here!"

The steel boots had limited airflow, and they were falling step by step into a sea of ​​fire!

Amiya remained calm and composed during her descent, making immediate decisions without any panic.

She pointed at the skeletal kidnapper and asked Gavial, "Are you ready?!"

"no!"

"Very good! Let's go!"

Chapter 340 Alex (Fifth Update)

Group 4⑧87④97⑨9

Amiya mustered all her strength during her descent and hurled Gavial at the skeleton kidnapper, launching an air-to-ground attack!

She had no choice but to do this; it was the best solution she could think of at the moment.

But she missed her chance to dodge and fell into the sea of ​​fire.

Amiya's figure disappeared into the flames, the flames surged and billowed upwards.

Gavial never expected Amiya to do this! She was in danger to save Amiya because she failed to react to the enemy's attack in time, which dragged Amiya down with her.

Gavial gritted her teeth and glided toward the skeleton kidnapper.

It's all this monster's fault!

I'll tear you to pieces!

Gavial raised the Originium Staff in her hand. The reason she asked the craftsman to design it this way was precisely so that she could vent her anger now!

It was as if a giant black axe had descended from the sky, and Gavial cleaved down heavily, smashing into the shield of the Bone Jackal! The purple field barrier could absorb spells and cushion the impact of crossbow bolts, but it could not withstand this earth-shattering hammer blow.

The skeletal hijacker was thrown to the side by Gavial's force. It tried to retreat, but couldn't manage that small movement. Gavial's seemingly delicate, white hand suddenly pierced through the crack in the force field shield with a ferocious punch, and she fiercely grabbed the pillar connecting the monster's shield to its arm. This connecting pillar was probably as thick as an adult's thigh, not to mention how sturdy it was.

However, the next moment, Gavial raised his Originium Staff and smashed it into the Bone Jackal's shield! He then kicked the monster away, forcefully severing the connecting pillar and completely removing the shield attached to the monster's right arm.

Tearing apart a Gundam is nothing special.

Gavial descended from the sky atop the massive shield, crashing to the ground with a deafening roar. The flowing flames on the ground were even extinguished by the force of the purple shield's force field. She carelessly tossed the thing to the ground, crushing the amber-colored veins and bone fragments she had dug out from her palm, letting the viscous fluid mixed with thick dust seep out from between her fingers.

"Ami, are you okay?"

Gavial turned around anxiously to look for Amiya, but the surrounding fire was still raging.

"Don't worry, I'm... fine!"

Amidst the raging flames, a heavy figure stepped out.

The thick boots kept out the flames, and he walked on the ground as if nothing was wrong.

"Defender (reloaded)"

Just as Amiya was about to fall into the inferno, she pulled out the Heavy Class Card from her Class Card box and swiftly switched it using the Ark Driver. Perhaps due to practice makes perfect, or perhaps it was a sudden burst of inspiration in a dangerous situation, she successfully inserted the card this time. Even the gesture of pushing the driver became agitated, her hands suddenly crossing and changing shape amidst the overlapping shadows.

A blue-gray robe was draped over the outermost layer, beneath which was the Babel Tower charging suit and the bunny armor full of Amiya's style!

Even amidst the scorching flames, Amiya remained unharmed, gracefully emerging from the aftershocks of the explosions. She was surrounded by diamond-shaped shields, providing all-around protection against the incoming shockwaves.

In her heavily armored state, Amiya's physical strength and physiological endurance are greatly amplified, but her battlefield mobility and combat skills return to normal levels. This is normal; if she could retain her class attributes with each transformation, Amiya would only need to switch between a few class cards to max out all her attributes to an excellent level. She could probably easily defeat Lin Lu with one hand and be invincible throughout Terra.

"Amiya..."

Gavial finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost been terrified.

If Amiya gets hurt because of her, then... isn't she a doctor? What is she afraid of?

Gavial then realized that he was actually a doctor.

"Ouch! Ouch!!!!"

The skeletal hijacker roared in terror and rage, its balance shattered by the ripped shield from its right arm. It grotesquely extended its artificial, bony claws, digging them into the wound of its injured arm to sever the blood vessels oozing amber-colored fluid, stopping the energy leak. It raised its claws, clenching them into fists, a hissing sound emanating from them, reflecting the flashes of flame.

The skeleton hostage tried to take a step forward, its awkward stance looking quite strange given its injured left leg, but it still managed to throw a punch.

If you were hit head-on by a giant fist that's half the height of a person, you'd probably be crippled even if you didn't die.

However, Gavial was eager to try it out. She planted her Originium Staff in the ground and excitedly prepared to exchange punches.

If they actually fight, it'll probably be a memorable scene.

Amiya, oblivious to the romantic gesture, raised her hands, and a series of diamond-shaped barriers appeared in front of Gavial.

Gavial was about to call out Amiya's name, not wanting to let such a good opportunity slip away. She hadn't enjoyed such intense hand-to-hand combat in a long time; no one on Rhodes Island could fight like this with her.

The straightforward Gavial hadn't expected that the opponent's attacking fist would suddenly explode with sharp, knife-like bone spikes! A piercing cutting sound echoed from the magical barrier as beams of light, passing through the diamond-shaped totem, approached Gavial's eyes, just an inch away from piercing them. This monster was far more cunning than she'd imagined; if Gavial were to confront it head-on, she would undoubtedly be the one to suffer in the end!

Gavial finally snapped out of her shock and anger. She hated those who used underhanded tricks more than anything! She had almost gotten herself into trouble at the hands of this monster. If it weren't for Amiya's help, her glorious achievements would have been ruined here!

"Miss Gavial".

Amiya called out her name helplessly.

"Don't forget what our goal is."

“…Yes.” Gavial finally calmed down from his impulsive state.

Amiya let out a soft breath, holding up the magical barrier as she approached Gavial, her gaze fixed on the shield on the skeletal kidnapper's left arm. If this shield wasn't destroyed, the plan to rescue Misha would be severely hampered.

"Wait, Amiya, that's—"

Gavial pointed in the direction they had come from, and a figure was slowly walking towards them.

Amiya drew a circle in the air with her left hand, and the light of the spell solidified. She brought the circle close to her eyes and used it as a magnifying glass.

"...the cadres of the Integration Movement, Shattered Bones."

Amiya's worst enemy has appeared.

Dealing with the skeleton hijackers was already difficult enough, but adding an enemy of cadre level makes it even more difficult.

"Gavial—"

Amiya looked up and stared directly at the Rhodes Island medical operator.

She thought of an order that even she herself felt was excessive, but now she had no choice but to do it.

"Buy me five minutes, I'll go deal with him, this monster is yours for now."

Gavial wasn't displeased at all; instead, she smiled brightly, sensing Amiya's trust in her.

"Amiya, you can delegate more of the burden to me. There's no need to try to be strong all by yourself. Even if it takes fifty minutes, let alone five, I absolutely will not let it escape! Don't worry, I'll take care of things here!"

"...It's up to you, Gavial."

Amiya's lips curled into a slight smile as she watched Gavial confidently pat her chest, the smile vanishing with each sway. Why do these well-developed girls always like to flaunt their bust size? Why? Hmm.

Just as the magical barrier was shattered by the Bone Lurker, Gavial dodged out of range, her running speed kicking up clouds of desert dust. She circled halfway around the monster, forcing it to retreat and defend itself, otherwise she would have shattered its remaining right leg with her warhammer.

"Hey you big oaf! Come here!"

Gavial was practically about to give the middle finger.

Once Gavial had diverted the attention of the skeleton kidnappers, Amiya turned to look at the approaching skeletons in the distance.

"To deal with you—"

Amiya's finger pressed against the class card box, and she slowly pulled out a card.

She subtly rotated her index and middle fingers, bringing the graphic symbols on the card into view.

"—This card will do!"

The Ark Driver's central core rotated, the class card was inserted into the slot, and abundant power surged into his body.

"Specialist"

Layers of phantoms emerged once more. Amiya had adapted to this power. With a wave of her hand, she completed her transformation.

The heavy armor disappeared, replaced by thin cloth armor draped over her shoulders. A hooded cape covered her head, and long rabbit ears peeked out from an opening specially designed for her outfit. The neck armor fit perfectly with the ring-shaped Oripathy sensor.

Amiya held a curved short sword in each hand, the blades resembling black mirrors with a flowing dark red glow. Even though Amiya didn't know much about blades, she could sense that these black blades were unparalleled weapons; the curves of the blades were like black lines, capable of cutting through metal with ease.

A phantom rhombus pattern floated behind Amiya, swirling like a ghostly undercurrent, with two half-real, half-illusory shadows connecting to the ends of the short blade's hilt. Amiya had a feeling that she could wield these weapons at will, even retrieving them once thrown.

Amiya deftly turned the hilt of her knife, glanced at the location of the shattered bones, and vanished silently from the spot.

Five minutes, countdown begins.

The two were about 300 meters apart, and it took Amiya nearly 15 seconds to appear in the shadow of Shattered Bones!

Amiya had no intention of holding back now. Gavial was fighting the skeletal kidnappers alone, and a slight misstep could result in injury! She couldn't weigh Gavial's life against her own; this was her conviction. If someone had to die, it had to be her enemy.

Kindness is never a reason to be bullied.

"..."

Shattered Bones seemed to sense Amiya's presence behind him, but instead of making any hostile moves, he simply raised his hands. He didn't even remove the musket hanging at his waist; he didn't seem to be there to fight, but rather to die.

"Rhodes Island, I am not here to fight you."

"Who believes it?"

"..."

Shattered Bones let out a long sigh, and he slowly turned around, maintaining the French military salute.

Amiya's black blade hovered silently five centimeters from Shattered Bones' heart, a dangerously close distance.

With Amiya's current exceptional combat skills and battlefield mobility, she is definitely faster than Bonebreaker. Once her opponent reveals any signs of preparing for a desperate fight, she will pierce their heart without hesitation.

"Misha."
