The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Any antelope-like monster that encounters the Omega Antelope will be instantly controlled by it, and there is only one in each generation. No new Omega Antelopes will be born, and if one is, it will be killed by the current generation of Omega Antelopes.

"This guy is incredibly strong!"

He held the steering wheel sword horizontally in front of his chest, its blade gripping a huge double-edged steel fork. As the blades of the fork rubbed against the sword, tiny sparks flew.

Despite his constant complaints, the veteran driver appeared extremely relaxed. With Drive's armor amplification, his strength had reached a terrifying level. The Wild Form's base punching power was 8.1 tons, but that was based on the assumption that the veteran driver was a normal human. Now, his physical punching power had reached a terrifying 2 tons. Now, amplified by Drive's armor, the strength of the Omega Gazelle was completely insignificant in his presence.

When fully unleashed, its force reaches a full 20 tons, enough to flatten any monster.

"Shinnosuke, don't delay any longer. The situation outside is dire. You'd better deal with this guy quickly. According to my calculations, the purple monster in front of us is the leader of the entire antelope herd. If we kill him, the antelope monsters outside will soon fall into chaos!"

"learn!"

With his right hand gripping the hilt and his left hand supporting the blade, the experienced driver suddenly exerted force with both arms, pushing out the Omega Gazelle's double forks. At the same time, his right leg swept out like a python, striking the opponent's side waist.

"Oh!"

With a powerful kick, the Omega Gazelle was sent flying and crashed into the wall of the abandoned factory.

"Belt Mulberry!"

"Ok?"

"Run a lap with me!"

"Okay!"

He shoved the Wild Model gearshift vehicle into the steering wheel sword with his other hand, and the veteran driver quickly turned the steering wheel on the sword.

"Om!!"

The tire on his right shoulder began to spin rapidly. The veteran driver's visors lit up, and he glided across the ground at an extremely fast speed, enveloping the Omega Gazelle like a whirlwind of blades.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The experienced driver, spinning at high speed, unleashed a storm of blades. The Omega Gazelle, caught in the eye of this storm, was like minced meat in a meat grinder, utterly powerless against the devastating attack.

"Die!"

With a roar, the veteran driver unleashed seven sword strikes in an instant, each one landing on the neck of the Omega Gazelle.

"laugh!"

A clear sound rang out, and the experienced driver stopped turning, halting not far from the gap, with the Omega gazelle standing there dumbfounded behind him.

"Splash..."

Like cracked and peeling cement, the Omega Gazelle's armor rapidly shattered into small pieces, revealing its internal energy core. The energy core was riddled with cracks, and with a crisp "crack," the Omega Gazelle exploded into a ball of flame.

After the flames expanded rapidly, they quickly contracted inward, creating a small mushroom cloud inside the factory.

When Miku arrived, this was exactly what she saw. The cat, wagging its tail, clicked its tongue and said, "As expected of the strongest veteran driver in the Heisei era, it truly deserves the title!"

"However, that's all for now!"

When a cat with its tail extended into the space retracts it, the DCD drive gets caught on its tail.

But before Miku could make a move, the cat's eyes suddenly narrowed.

A crisp footstep echoed from inside the gap, and through the glittering, dazzling opening, both the veteran driver and Miku could see a figure stepping out.

"Tsk, I didn't expect this guy to come out on his own. He's really conscientious!"

Miku clicked his tongue in displeasure, but for the sake of the plan's success, he suppressed his restless thoughts.

After all, the purpose of these knights is to hone the skills of experienced riders. However, it seems that the plan has a major flaw. He should have been the one to push the experienced riders to actively challenge each knight and then retrieve the information contained within all the knights.

But someone else did it before him, which is like taking the credit for him.

"Don't let me find out who did this, or I'll blow your head off!"

As the cat was grinding its teeth and muttering to itself, the figure inside the gap was revealed to the experienced driver.

The creature's skin, as red as flames, shimmered with faint dragon scale patterns. Its upper body was clad in silver-white armor, giving it a solemn air. The dragon head summoner on its left hand was extremely mysterious, and its mask was shaped like a dragon's head. Behind the red goggles were a pair of indifferent eyes.

"Is this the legendary knight that guy mentioned?" The veteran driver unconsciously took a step back: "His aura is so oppressive, it's like facing a real dragon."

After the dragon rider stepped out of the gap, he drew a card from the card box at his waist and placed it into the summoning machine.

"Sword Vent!"

As the mechanical chanting began, a red military knife fell from mid-air and was caught in the hands of the dragon rider.

The dragon rider, who had been looking down, raised his head slightly and looked at the old driver. As the old driver was being watched by the dragon rider, his hair stood on end, and an extremely strong sense of crisis arose from the bottom of his heart.

"Such a sharp gaze!"

The driver, unable to help but sigh, tightened his grip on the steering wheel; the pressure from the Dragon Knight was simply too intense.

Above, the cat lying in the subspace let out a soft exclamation: "Oh, it seems that after I let this guy roam free, he actively killed quite a few mirror monsters to feed his crimson dragon, otherwise he wouldn't have this kind of oppressive aura."

"Their strength is far beyond what I remember about the dragon knights!"

As Miku muttered to himself, the Dragon Rider leaped up from the ground and charged towards the veteran driver, sweeping his Dragon Army Blade horizontally.

As the sharp dragon-sword sliced ​​through the air, it also evoked a shrill shriek like the wailing of ghosts.

"clang!"

The old driver, who had just raised his sword to block the attack, was nearly knocked away by the power contained in the Dragon Rider Blade. He was forced to retreat, leaving several deep footprints on the ground.

"Such powerful strength, only slightly weaker than mine!!"

Looking solemnly at the veteran driver of the dragon rider, who was now wielding his sword with both hands, it was clear from the opponent's attack stance that this guy was not holding back at all and was clearly aiming to take lives.

Since that's the case, the experienced driver isn't going to hold back.

The experienced driver, fully alert, took the initiative to confront the dragon rider, who, naturally, was not to be outdone and raised his sword to fight.

The crisp clash of swords echoed throughout the factory as the veteran driver, fueled by his comrade's fervor, fought bravely against the dragon rider. Despite his superior strength, his combat experience paled in comparison to the dragon rider's.

Every Rider from the first ten years of the Heisei era earned their reputation through hard-fought battles, without any fancy tricks. They possessed extremely rich combat experience, especially Ryuki, whose predecessor was the War God Knight, who lived in a world of constant warfare where fighting was a daily routine and battles were commonplace.

Even though it was devoured and absorbed by Miku, the instincts imprinted on the dragon rider's body had not disappeared.

"The experienced driver is no good; he's just barely hanging on!"

With his sharp eyes, Miku immediately saw that the old driver was actually just a shiny ball of shit on the outside. Although the old driver was currently dominating the dragon rider, the dragon rider was actually gradually taking control of the rhythm of the battle.

Turn your advantages toward yourself.

The battle had only been going on for three minutes when the veteran driver was slashed hard across the chest. The powerful blow sent him flying backward, and he lay on the ground, his vision blurred.

Who am I? Where am I? Why can't I beat the guy on the other side?

"Tsk tsk tsk, senior's love is always heavy!" Miku chuckled. "Enjoy the warm care from senior!"

Chapter 82: The most fatal mistake was the second uncle's substitution!

Ten miles east of the Sonozaki mansion lies an abandoned factory.

"Oh!"

The old driver, bouncing on the ground like a ball, slammed heavily against the wall. The already dilapidated wall crumbled into a pile of broken bricks and tiles after the impact.

The dragon rider, wielding a dragon saber, stared indifferently at the old driver. Despite having the upper hand, he relentlessly pursued him, lifting the old driver from the rubble and slashing down repeatedly with his saber.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The Dragon Rider's attacks were increasingly ruthless, leaving the veteran driver no way out. With each slash of his military knife, the veteran driver felt as if a giant hammer was constantly pounding on his chest. His chest was filled with churning blood and qi, a strong sense of nausea lingered in his brain, his vision blurred, and a metallic taste began to fill his throat.

"No, we have to fight back, or I'll be beaten to death!"

The old driver, who had barely managed to grab Dragon Rider's wrist, lunged forward with all his might, knocking Dragon Rider to the ground. After knocking Dragon Rider to the ground, the old driver quickly climbed onto Dragon Rider and, like a thug, started punching Dragon Rider all over.

As the panting veteran driver beat up the dragon rider, Miku, lying in the warp, watched the scene with amusement, adopting a peasant's posture. "Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic. He was clearly a protagonist template, but now he's like a thug. It's really shameful!"

Dragon Knight was pinned down by the veteran driver, his Dragon Army knife knocked away by the veteran driver. With his arms protecting his head, he bent his legs upwards and crashed heavily into the veteran driver's body.

"Oh!"

The veteran driver, struck hard on the back, fell forward. Dragon Knight seized the opportunity, grabbed the veteran driver's chest armor, and lifted him up with his arm.

"Snapped!"

The dragon rider's rapid kicks, like a rabbit kicking an eagle, sent the veteran driver flying backward.

"Boom!"

The old driver, who had been smashed on an iron barrel, lay on his back, his back aching so badly he felt like he was about to explode.

"Shinnosuke, this can't go on!"

"Then what can you do, belt-san!?" The veteran driver staggered to his feet, his armor covered in knife marks, and he felt pain even when he was breathing.

"Let me drive!" Belt-san sighed inwardly; the only way to break the deadlock was for him to take over.

"Alright, then the steering wheel is yours!" The experienced driver relinquished control of his body, and Sankrim smoothly took over the belt. The eyepiece suddenly dimmed, and black and white stripes appeared in the pure white, bright eyepiece.

"Beep, beep!"

The steering wheel sword automatically emitted two car horn sounds, and with a wave of his hand, Sanklim flew the steering wheel sword into his grasp.

"Phew..." With a long sigh, Daisang repeatedly clenched and unclenched his left fist. "This is truly a very novel experience for me."

"I told you long ago, you can use my body!" The old driver's soft voice rang in belt Sankrim's ear. Belt Sankrim coughed twice and said, "Shinnosuke, you need to understand that whether or not I use your body is a matter of principle for me. I will only take over driving Drive in the most urgent situation."

"Alright, alright," the experienced driver said helplessly. "It's your decision, but you're going to make your move now, that guy's coming!"

"I know!"

Despite the belt being tilted to one side, Sankrim suddenly swung his right hand, blocking the dragon rider's blade.

Seeing that his first attack had missed, the dragon rider quickly swung his sword a second time. The sword on his belt, Sankrim, slightly turned the steering wheel and blocked the dragon rider's saber again.

"You're amazing, Belt-san!"

The experienced driver exclaimed in admiration upon seeing how easily Zankrim with his belt dealt with the dragon rider.

"This is also a very novel experience for me. Although I don't know why we came together, the guy who came up with this idea and put it into practice is simply a genius!"

As Sankrim spoke, Miku nonchalantly twitched his ears.

With a new driver, Drive will no longer repeat the same mistakes against the Dragon Knight.
