Kamen Rider Evolution

Phantom also relies on strength. Strength is the simplest and most brutal way, and it is also the most effective way for Jiang Xia.

Walking through the dim corridor and down the dim steel stairs, the roar of machines running constantly could be heard around, and white smoke kept spewing out of the stainless steel pipes.

These two-meter-diameter pipes are interconnected and filled with water, which is used to cool the machines that are constantly running.

This is a steel factory, and also the place where Phantom communicates and issues orders.

Medusa, wearing a purple-brown veil, walked down the stairs in human form and gently grasped the rough railing. The rusty railing gave her an uneven touch through her skin.

The feeling was just like the one she had felt not long ago when she was blasted against the rock wall, like her soul was being imbued with that euphoric feeling of rising higher and higher, to heaven.

Medusa removed her arm from the rusty railing. The sound of footsteps could be heard in the dim corridor, and several dark shadows appeared in front of the steel factory in different ways.

"Hello, little Medusa, here I come. Is there something that the sage has called us for?" Guremlin put his hand on his hat, looking down at Medusa with a smile.

He clearly wanted to go into the magic circle to meet this wise man who had experienced the battle and report on the recent situation, but he did not expect to come back empty-handed, with only some traces of the battle left. This made him even more interested.

Who can break into the barrier and fight the sage? The answer seems easy to come up with.

But now he has gathered so many phantoms here. What exactly does this wise man want to do? Is it related to the Philosopher's Stone? Thinking of this, Gulemlin's smile widened a little.

The moment Medusa saw Guremlin, a trace of disgust appeared on her originally beautiful face. Her name was not Misa. Inamori Misa was already dead.

"Just obey the orders of the Sage absolutely. It's none of your business to worry about other things." Medusa looked up at Guremlin with an expressionless face and shouted sternly.

"Oh, how sad. You are still so boring." Guremlin shrugged and jumped down from the height without any care.

He doesn't want to obey the orders of the Sage all his life. He has only one goal, which is to obtain the Philosopher's Stone and turn back into the human being named Kong.

Countless wriggling shadows slowly straightened up, and groups of black shadows also emerged from the shadows. Countless pairs of red eyes were constantly scanning everything around them.

They are monsters born from the darkest corners of humanity, and they are most excited when humans are most painful and desperate.

They are clearly human steel factories, but when they appear, they look like devils imprinted on ancient murals on a pilgrimage or holding some kind of sacrificial ceremony involving millions of people at one time.

Phantoms of different appearances all emerged, and the only thing they had in common was their hideous faces that looked like demons.

Not just one, but a group of them, a group of demons that had survived from the mythological era and robbed people of their souls. The original sound of steel forging was completely covered by the sound of the phantom.

They all opened their big mouths full of sharp teeth, whispering to each other, and talking about something.

They inherited everything they once had as humans, and of course inherited part of their personalities. Each one has a past that makes humans despair, but these are the unwilling cries of the dead.

"It looks like everyone is here."

When the phantoms were together, a voice seemed to come from the void. The voice was low, but grand and solemn, like the sound of a bronze bell ringing in this steel square.

Guremlin suddenly looked up at the source of the sound. The figure of the sage phantom was slowly condensing into a solid entity. The purple flame seemed to be burning on his body, and the powerful magic power was like a thin snake that had materialized.

The powerful fluctuations of magic power suddenly made all the restless phantoms hush, like silent statues.

These guys are easy to control. Just crush them with absolute violence.

"My lord the wise one." Medusa surrendered.

He was still wondering if this sage was the injured Gulemlin, but now he couldn't even think of resisting. There was no doubt that the magnificent magic power was something none of their phantoms possessed, and he felt that the sages before him had never used their full strength, but were just playing around.

"Well done, Medusa, you deserve a reward." Jiang Xia said, "I will promise you great power."

"Thank you, sage. I will always serve you." Medusa's face was full of respect.

"May I ask why the wise man has summoned us now?" Guremlin also put away his frivolous words and spoke in the lowest voice of his life: "Do you want to truly destroy the magician wearing the ring?"

"Good question, Gulemlin. You are very good, and you will be rewarded later." Jiang Xia said calmly, "But you guessed wrong."

"From today on, no Phantom is allowed to harm any human being without my order."

"Ugh!"

But when this order was issued, the Phantoms all began to question it, thinking that some big move was about to take place.

"Sage, if we cannot harm humans, then how can we spread despair? One of the phantoms stood up and looked at Jiang Xia, opening his ferocious mouth.

"No need to spread the word. This world is hell. We don't need to do anything, our companions will naturally appear. Despair is the norm in this world."

But such rhetoric obviously would not make them willing, and of course Jiang Xia was not prepared to convince them.

"No, humans must be brought to despair by our own hands. This is their fate." A phantom with a red body and bulging shoulders on both sides slowly stood up.

What a joke, eating and hurting humans is their instinct. This order is like asking a tiger to stop hunting and instead let it be kept in captivity by ridiculous humans.

"It seems that you want to disobey my orders, so please come and see me." Jiang Xia said.

This phantom is called Baalzebub. He uses a long sword as his weapon and has the ability to distort space.

Baalzebub condensed a huge sword with one hand. He jumped up suddenly, and the huge sword flashed a dazzling sword light in the dim underground and rushed straight towards Jiang Xia.

"Don't attack the Sage!" Medusa watched the moment when Baalzebub swung his sword towards Jiang Xia. What she was thinking about was not how to give birth to a companion after the Phantom, but she was worried that the Sage would be disappointed in her because Baalzebub was her subordinate.

Just as Medusa was about to take action to stop it, she saw a scene that made the Phantom's hair stand on end.

The sage simply raised his hand slightly, and Baalzebub's body instantly stopped in the air.

Almost materialized magic power gushed out from Baalzebul's body. In just a few seconds, the magic power in Baalzebul's body was completely sucked dry by the sage until he disappeared with a scream.

At the same time, all the phantoms noticed that after Baalzebub, the troublemaker, disappeared, a magic gem emitting dazzling light appeared in the sage's hand.

"Medusa, I will fulfill my promise." Jiang Xia said, "Come and accept this power."

Medusa's body moved involuntarily, and when she reacted, her master, the Sage, had already pressed the magic gem against her chest and gradually merged into it.

She let out an ear-piercing scream, and her human appearance instantly changed into that of the phantom of Medusa.

But this is not the end. The scales on Medusa's head seemed to come alive suddenly, like a snake waking up from its slumber.

At the same time, a pattern resembling a giant snake totem appeared on her body. She evolved. (End of this chapter)
