Kamen Rider Evolution

Countless bright red eyes stared at the evolving Medusa.

According to their common sense, this situation is absolutely impossible to happen to Phantom.

After Medusa endured the pain, there was a look of great surprise in her eyes, and her snake-like hair all came to life.

The golden vertical pupils suddenly opened, and lavender magic power flowed through her body.

The originally jet-black long hair was completely replaced by small snakes, dancing gently in the air, slowly expanding and contracting with elegance and grace.

The pink-gray scales covered Medusa's beautiful female face. After a long time, all the magic power was taken back into her body. She had adapted to this sudden surge of power.

She knelt down in front of Jiang Xia like the most loyal servant. She had been reborn.

Her inner loyalty was fully aroused, and she only obeyed the sage's orders from beginning to end to find those humans with magical powers and make them corrupt, but this was not because she wanted to increase her companions, but because the sage needed a new phantom to hold a witch's banquet.

Therefore, Jiang Xia’s reward and recognition were very important to her, so important that she was willing to sacrifice her life for it.

"Do you still have any objection to harming humans?" Jiang Xia asked.

This time, no Phantom dared to express any different opinions. The original one had already proved its fate, and the fear in their hearts had occupied the hearts of the Phantoms.

For the beast, showing strength can gain everyone's recognition.

"Very good, you obeyed my orders, so you should also get a chance," Jiang Xia said, "a chance to evolve like Medusa."

All the phantoms looked up at the same moment. The fear they originally felt from death and disappearance seemed to disappear in an instant. In this factory that was so quiet that one could clearly hear the white smoke coming out, their fanatical eyes looked like wolves eager for fresh meat.

All the phantoms are waiting for Jiang Xia's orders. It doesn't matter whether they are leading humans to despair or they are magicians wearing rings.

What's important now is how to get the chance to evolve. This is certainly not without cost and requires something to be paid, but they will do it no matter what kind of fighting it involves.

"This is a hunting game. Only the strongest can realize the opportunity to control their own destiny, while the losers will only become sacrifices and be devoured as raw materials for evolution."

Jiang Xia slowly walked down from the height, looked at these "hounds" with red eyes, and said:
"I will choose a phantom from among you. Whoever kills it first will have the chance to evolve, and the loser will be devoured by the winner."

"Originally, I wanted to kill a few disobedient Phantoms to use as prizes for the hunting competition, but unfortunately only Baalzebub jumped out. It's a pity that you are all so obedient, so the Phantoms I choose can only be based on my mood."

After hearing Jiang Xia's words, the phantoms all lowered their heads quickly.

It’s just like when students were asked questions by their teacher in school. Although they were full of rejection in their hearts, no one could resist the teacher’s authority.

Jiang Xia looked around. He now understood the teacher's feelings when he stood on the podium. No matter who was ready to answer the question, he would indeed feel emotional when he saw the silence.

"Of course, as your sage, I am not biased. If the phantom chosen as a sacrifice escapes the hunt within the specified game time, then its reward will be an ultimate magic gem."

Jiang Xia glanced around, then looked at the green figure and said:

"I just promised Guremlin a reward, so Guremlin will be the hunting target this time."

"What!" Gulemlin looked up in horror.

The moment he raised his head, he saw that all the phantoms who had been lowering their heads stood up, and as if they had discussed it beforehand, they surrounded him tacitly.

"Oh, right. The only rule is that you cannot harm humans. After all, humans are an important source of our Phantoms. This rule applies to all Phantoms. You don't want to know the consequences of breaking the rules."

Only then did the phantoms understand that the rule of not harming humans was in preparation for the hunt, and that it was stated in advance just to see if those phantoms disobeyed orders and make them into prizes.

The only thing they learned from that unfortunate guy was that the orders of the wise man were not allowed to be questioned, no matter how outrageous.

When Jiang Xia announced the rules, he waved his hand and something golden like teeth fell from the sky and pierced into the bodies of all the phantoms present until they were completely integrated into them.

"Then let the hunt begin."

"Boom!" The gargoyle spread its wings behind its back and grabbed Guremlin with its claws that could cut through steel. In myths and legends, gargoyles acted as wizard slaves, and now it lived up to this role.

Guremlin's body quickly turned into a monster. Its body was green and it was a phantom based on a tree elf. It held two long swords in its hands and collided directly with the gargoyle phantom in the air.

Guremlin's body was instantly blown away by the powerful impact. It was small in size, and its only advantage was its fast speed. Facing the stone-hard gargoyle phantom, it was like a goblin being targeted by a dragon.

However, Guremlin was the Phantom's most skilled escapist. He instantly rolled over on the ground and his body turned into a phantom and fled into the distance.

The gates and glass of the steel factory all shattered at the same time, and the phantoms broke through the shackles with their wishes.

Dozens of flying phantoms suddenly spread their jagged wings, roared like they were hunting, and sped through the air.

Flying in the air, they look like the followers of evil gods in ancient murals.

Those flying in the sky, running on the ground, invisible creatures, and those lurking underground were all aiming in the same direction.

Medusa, who had transformed back into human form, stood up from the ground, stared at Jiang Xia who was admiring everything, and asked: "Sage, I have a question."

She has also learned her lesson and no longer dares to ask questions directly, because the sage does not necessarily have to answer you, so at this time, the attitude of expressing questions is very important.

Although she felt that the Sage's character seemed to have changed slightly, she felt that such a change was not bad, at least the benefits were real.

"Ask, Medusa."

"I want to ask, why did you choose Guremulin as the sacrifice? That shouldn't be a last-minute decision." Medusa asked doubtfully.

"Oh?" Jiang Xia looked at Medusa differently. He did not hide his hostility towards Guremlin, but not everyone could see that.

"The look in your eyes changed a little when you saw Guremulin, so I think Guremulin must have done something to make you angry." Medusa said judgmentally.

"Yes, Guremlin really makes me very angry. What he did as a human and as a phantom were both too much." Jiang Xia admitted.

Guremlin claims to have a human heart, but in the eyes of the human Sora Takigawa, he is a serial killer.

The photos of his victims could fill three blackboards, and his targets were all young women wearing white clothes and with long black hair.

He lured the girls by claiming to be a barber, then cut their hair with his scissors and finally killed them.

A person who tramples on life like this has no right to be called a human being. Even if he was not Phantom, Jiang Xia would kill him.

After the second resurrection ceremony of Dimu Li failed, Guremlin took advantage of the opportunity to not only kill Dimu Li and seize the Philosopher's Stone, but also tried to use human lives to refill the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone.

No matter what the crime is, once you fall into his hands, there is no chance of survival.

Now letting him serve as hunting bait is purely to let him feel what true despair is.

Death is not scary. What is really painful is waiting to die or having his hope taken away by Jiang Xia himself after he really escapes from the hunt.

"Human?" Medusa wondered what the human period meant, but seeing that Jiang Xia had no intention of answering, she did not ask any more questions.

Jiang Xia walked out of the dilapidated factory building, and the phantom appearance on his body slowly retracted into his body, revealing his true face.

When Medusa saw Jiang Xia take the initiative to reveal his human appearance, she was delighted. She didn't expect that the true face of the sage was so young and handsome.

"Medusa." Jiang Xia said.

"Yes, sage." Medusa swallowed and reluctantly shifted her attention away.

"Follow me somewhere."

"Okay." (End of Chapter)
