Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

They still hoped that this powerful Kamen Rider was an ally sent by Bloodseeker, a secret weapon hidden by Hokuto.

After all, if this knight were an enemy... he didn't even want to think about what would happen.

Akabane outwardly feigned composure, but inwardly he was utterly devastated.

He was all too familiar with this feeling of being watched.

Although the forms are different, he will never misperceive them.

It felt exactly the same as when that blue and white knight used telekinesis to throw me away last time.

That time, he was thrown directly from Dongdu back to Beidu, and a hole was smashed in the Sky Wall. He lay there for a full week before he could barely recover some strength.

Even now, that blue and white figure still haunts his mind like a nightmare.

"How are you three? Are you alright?"

Despite the severe damage to his body from the excessive fighting, Kazumi Saruwatari still managed to get there despite his physical limitations.

After all, the battle between these three idiots was practically a dance party on the edge of death.

Once defeated, death is inevitable, and there's no way to save him. How could he not worry?

Seeing that the three idiots were all alright, Saruwatari Kazumi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, looking in another direction, he noticed what was happening there.

Ryuga Banjou struggles to stand up, while Sento Kiryu's face is full of sorrow.

And a...unfamiliar Kamen Rider?

"Ok?"

Saruwatari Kazumi frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Having just arrived, he was still somewhat confused about the current situation.

What's going on here? Why are all the Kamen Riders from Touto lying on the ground?

Could it have been those three idiots who did it?

That shouldn't be the case, right?

Build is one thing, but while he can defeat Croz, those three idiots can't easily take him down either.

Even the Danger Striker, whose power has increased dramatically after receiving special enhancements from the Danger Activation Device.

So... was it this unfamiliar knight who did it?

Could he be reinforcements sent by Bloodseeker?

Saruwatari Kazumi was completely bewildered, while the "Deceased Trio" involuntarily stepped back and leaned against Saruwatari Kazumi's back.

It seems that only by staying behind the boss can one feel a sense of security.

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ultimate Weapon in a Clash

"What's going on?"

"Boss, it's that guy from last time!"

Akabane spoke without a trace of doubt, his tone filled with barely suppressed fear.

"That guy from last time?"

"Wait! You mean..."

I've lived with these three guys for so many years, we're like brothers.

In an instant, Saruwatari Kazumi understood the meaning behind Akabane's words, and his eyes immediately became serious.

It's appeared again?

That terrifying, suffocating guy!

"You actually recognized me?"

Hearing what Chi Yu said, Luo Yuan was slightly surprised. It seemed that the last incident had left a considerable shadow on the child.

You look completely different, yet you still guessed it was me?

It's not surprising that Sento and the others recognized him, since they knew each other before and he had even gone to their shop to get some coffee beans not long ago.

But these guys from Beidu only met once, around the time the Croz dragon was born, right?

Luo Yuan was slightly surprised that he could recognize the completely different form so quickly.

"It sure is him!"

"No wonder they took care of those guys from Dongdu in such a short time."

"Boss, let's run! We definitely can't win against such a huge difference in strength."

The three of them dragged Saruwatari Kazumi along, wanting nothing more than to escape this place as quickly as possible.

The difference in combat power is simply too great.

Kroos has been unable to stand up since being hit.

The black Build Rider, whose combat power suddenly surged, was also forced to transform after only a few moves.

Are they capable of dealing with this monster?

Without even thinking about it, going up there would just be suicide, and you might even die here.

The three crows had lost the courage to continue fighting, but was it possible for our Hai-ge to just run away in such a defeat?

"You actually attacked people from Dongdu... What are you trying to do?"

"Ichikai Saruwatari asked in a deep voice."

The doubt in his tone was completely undisguised.

After being completely defeated by the other party in the last incident, Saruwatari Kazumi naturally assumed that Luo Yuan was from Dongdu.

But now, he has defeated two Kamen Riders from Toudou.

It seems they are actually helping the Northern Capital.

Saruwatari Kazumi did not become more vigilant because of what seemed like helping them; on the contrary, he became even more cautious.

Because he couldn't see through this man, a feeling very similar to that he had when facing Blood Lurker.

Sometimes, a powerful enemy in the open is not scary; what is truly frightening is an enemy who plots in the shadows.

"Hey, hey, hey, is there any need to be so wary? I just helped you guys out!"

"This doesn't seem like something an enemy would do!"

"When did I ever say I was your enemy?"

Luo Yuan stroked his chin and said in a relaxed tone.

He was just an ordinary scientist who occasionally came out to set up sign-in requirements or test new equipment.

I saved your brother's life, didn't I?

Although his purpose in taking action, besides experimenting with equipment, was mostly to prevent Kiryu Sento from becoming withdrawn, it wasn't entirely unreasonable from a certain perspective.

As for the incident with the blue-clad youth...

That was just something I did on the spur of the moment. After all, why wouldn't I use a new form that I had worked so hard to create?

Luo Yuan thought to himself.

But Kazumi Saruwatari obviously wouldn't have thought of these things, and even if he had, he probably wouldn't have understood them.

After all, he knew the script in advance, unlike Kiryu Sento and the other players who were completely clueless.

"Sigh, these days, even if you're a good person and do good deeds, no one believes you when you tell the truth!"

Luo Yuan sighed helplessly.

Everyone present who heard this gave him a look that said, "I don't believe you for a second."

Is he a good person?

Who would believe a devil like you?

However, at that moment, Luo Yuan suddenly made a move.

A flash of sharpness appeared at the tip of the Galaxy Spark Gun.

"Alright, playtime is over."

"But now it seems that some scum hiding in the shadows won't come out unless they're forced to."

As he spoke, Luo Yuan's figure instantly transformed into a blur.

"Oh no!"

Gris and his three companions never expected Luo Yuan to make a sudden move.

By the time it was perceived, it was too late to react.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Yuan appeared in front of the stag beetle Danger Striker that Qing Yu had transformed into.

"thorn"

When the Galaxy Spark Gun fires, a small section of the left horn on the head of the Stag Beetle Danger Striker is directly missing.

"I'll accept this."

Luo Yuan chuckled as he held up a piece of the horn in his hand.

Since I saved your life, it shouldn't be too much to ask for a little something from you, right?

Let's take this opportunity to investigate what these so-called Lost Energy Bottles are all about.

"Qingyu!"

Realizing that Luo Yuan's target was Qing Yu, Chi Yu and Huang Yu transformed into owls, and the castle's Danger Strikers immediately reacted.

When your brother is in trouble, what can you do if you're afraid? You have to step up.

They all instinctively launched attacks, striking Luo Yuan's breastplate.
