Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 374 Knight's Ring

"Whoosh!"

Not long after leaving the Shadow Hall, the space changed again, returning to the meadow that Xia Chuan had passed through before.

"here……"

"It's just ahead!" Xiao Qingren's expression turned extremely serious, and she began to move cautiously. "Listen carefully, stick close to me, and don't make a sound. We absolutely cannot let those guys spot us!"

"it is good."

Xia Chuan continued to follow Xiao Qingren.

He didn't really care, but now this little brat is in charge.

This was probably to avoid causing trouble for Menkage-do.

"This is a group of ruins," Xiao Qingren explained softly after entering the forest. "It is said to hide the original secrets of this world. Those guys have been digging in this area, apparently trying to collect all 13 knight rings."

Although it is called a group of ruins, it is actually just a series of interconnected underground caves.

Xia Chuan's senses spread out, probing deep into the cave before being blocked by an invisible force. Finally, he vaguely saw a glowing stone pillar and the familiar, profound posture of the Tooth Bat II.

This old guy actually got caught.

"Oh no! They're coming this way!"

Xiao Qingren suddenly froze, and a strange group of people walked straight out of the cave in the distance.

"Hurry, hurry up!"

Unlike the townspeople who transformed into monsters, the monster team wore uniforms of ordinary soldiers, with only their heads being different from humans.

It's neither a demonic follower from "Extreme Fox" nor a source entity from "Extreme Ex"...

Perhaps because he rarely interacts with ordinary eccentrics, he couldn't recognize the type for a while.

"It seems Amadam must be here."

Xia Chuan walked in front of Xiao Qingren and took the initiative to meet the group of soldiers.

"Leave the rest to me, you can go back now?"

"How could you?" Xiao Qingren exclaimed in shock. "I won't let you die here. I know this place better than they do. We can still escape..."

"Wouldn't it be a wasted trip if we just ran away?"

Xia Chuan's eyes lit up with red light, his driver solidified at his waist, and he picked up a Kabuto card between his fingers.

He wasn't worried about what would happen to the strange man; he was only worried that Amadam might escape.

After all, it wasn't easy to find a spot.

"Transform!"

"Cast off!"

"Change Beetle!"

The beetle transformed, and the red knight's figure completed its transformation in an instant. A fleeting afterimage flashed through the forest. By the time Haruto reacted, the entire group of monsters in front of him had already been turned into explosive flames, with none surviving.

"Bang--!"

"Clock over!"

"This is... Kamen Rider?"

Haruto stared intently at the figure of Kabuto emerging from the lingering smoke of the electric current, feeling as if she had entered a new world, with strange yet familiar battle scenes intermittently appearing in her mind.

Seeing Natsukawa step over the wreckage and enter the cave, Haruto hesitated for a moment before choosing to return the way he came.

This is no longer something he can get involved in. His excessive curiosity might harm Ah Li and the others from the Shadow Hall.

"Aruruka toka! (Spell)"

Deep within the cave guarded by the strange man.

Amadam changed into a priest's outfit and danced and chanted incantations around the gemstone pillar. Ten Kamen Riders summoned by the Rider Ring stood around him like puppets, their energy flowing into the pillar through ropes.

The ceremony seemed to last a very long time, and the brilliance of the gemstones at the top of the pillars illuminated the entire cave as if it were daytime.

The energy absorption was complete, but Amadam was still not entirely satisfied.

"Only 10 knight rings found, 3 more needed... Hmm?"

Sensing the commotion outside, Amadam curled his lip in disgust and became angry.

"They actually came all this way, how annoying... But it's alright, Kuuga and Kabuto both lack the Knight Ring, so we can temporarily draw power from this guy!"

"It's Master!"

The second Tooth Bat, trapped in the magical cage, suddenly awoke, his voice growing louder without him even realizing it.

"It's here! Time to clear the level again!"

"What do you mean by 'clearing the level'?"

Amadam spat out a mouthful of spittle with a cold laugh.

"So what if your master is powerful? He's just a mere Kamen Rider! I am the source of all power. Whether it's a monster or a Kamen Rider, they're all trash under my control!"

Ignoring the arrogance of the Second Tooth Bat, Amadam turned and put on 10 knight rings, his laughter growing even more rampant.

"Show yourself, Kamen Rider! Defeat that guy outside!"

"Clang!"

The knight rings shimmered under the transmission of magic, and the knights, who had been standing like puppets, seemed to come alive. Under Amadam's command, they rushed toward the entrance to the ruins. Only Decade paused slightly and glanced at Amadam thoughtfully.

"Haha, see that!" Amadam smugly grabbed the Fanged Bat II to watch the battle. "Soon you'll understand that I'm the master you should truly follow! A mere piece of trash from the outside world..."

"Ugh!"

Faiz, who also possessed acceleration abilities, was the first to rush out, but he was sent flying back at an even faster speed as soon as he appeared, landing with a thud at Amadam's feet.

"Who are you calling trash?"

Ignoring the knights surrounding him, Xia Chuan moved swiftly, his driver spinning to read the card, instantly transforming from Kabuto into Exeed Invincible Player, the burning golden flames forcing back many knights.

It seems to be just a copy.

"Bang bang bang!"

Xia Chuan's golden afterimage flashed as he easily dodged W and Oz's frontal attacks, then turned and slammed his leg into Den-O's head.

Before the most ferocious Electric King could even make a move, he was sent flying like a cannonball, his entire body embedded in the cave wall. Luckily, he wasn't instantly killed.

The invincible player at level 7.5 has already demonstrated unparalleled strength even without a gaming domain.

Don't even mention that these clone riders are just in their regular forms; even their ultimate forms might not pose much of a threat.

Putting everything else aside, he has transformed into most of these knights, in ways that surpass the knight's original form.

W, OZ, Agito, Den-O, Hibiki, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Kiva...

"Whoosh!"

Once again, Xia Chuan teleported short distances to break through the encirclement, punched Hibiki away, and golden afterimages appeared in almost every corner of the passage. Even Kiva was trampled underfoot, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.

"Um?"

After recounting the number of knights, Natsukawa turned to look at Decade, who was hiding in the corner.

One of them isn't a copy?!

What's going on?

Despite his doubts, Xia Chuan's combat movements remained unaffected. He left a trail of afterimages as he dodged Blade's slash, increasing his speed to preemptively knock back the dragon rider who was preparing to summon the Peerless Dragon.

"call!"

Blade, whose attack missed, was not spared either. He staggered and crashed to the ground, sliding back along the ground and creating a deep ditch, while also knocking Agito behind him away.

Only then did W and Oz turn back, and what greeted them was a dazzling rainbow light.

In a short time, the nine knights' offensive was completely thwarted, and they were wiped out.

The combat was on a completely different level.

Amadam didn't even have time to react before his laughter abruptly stopped: "There's such a Kamen Rider?"

Decade also fell silent, but unlike Amadam, his eyes never left the camera driver at Natsukawa's waist.

It's the same as his transformation device, but the color has changed to magenta.

Another decade?

"Who exactly are you?!" Decade's eyes flickered, and as his battle suit dissipated, Tsukasa Kadoya's solemn face was revealed.
