The sudden sound made the middle-aged man quickly grip his greatsword and shield Xiao Kong behind him. He saw a black and gold knight slowly walk in front of Shenshan Feiyu and the others. The extremely oppressive aura made the middle-aged swordsman swallow hard and nervously tighten his grip on the hilt of his sword.

"Big brother, it's me, it's me. Do you still recognize Xiao Kong?"

At that moment, the little boy peeked out from behind the middle-aged swordsman, waved at Genji, and said:

"This is my father. He knows Touma and the others."

"Waaaaah!!! Touma! Rintaro!!!"

At the same time, before she arrived, her voice preceded her. The noisy woman appeared in Gengo's field of vision. Gengo grabbed her, and an astonishing force stirred the air, pulling the woman directly to the boy's side. Gengo then pinched the back of her neck and pointed at the middle-aged swordsman, saying:

Do you know him?

"I...I know you, Mr. Ryo Onoue."

The woman spoke honestly, albeit with a slight stutter:

"He is a senior member of the Sword of Truth, but I only met him recently."

"Was it you who saved my son?"

Ryo Onoue saw that the unknown knight wanted to protect the people behind him, so he put down his greatsword, picked up Sora, and said with a hearty laugh:

"Thanks! I'll repay this favor!"

"Let's return it now. Is there a safe place? You've seen it yourself."

Yuanxiang released the woman, waved behind him, and said:

"The ground is so cold, you'll get sick if you lie there for too long."

"I would have done such a small thing even if you hadn't asked, so it doesn't count."

'Bookgate!'

Onoue Ryo waved his hand dismissively, took out a booklet, opened a door, and then carried Kamiyama Touma and Kento inside. The woman also helped carry the people, while Genji picked up the Dark Sword Tsukiyami and captured Kamijou Daichi, following closely behind.

Passing through that door, Yuanxiang arrived at a hall that seemed to be a combination of a library and a conference room. The door in the center of the second floor of the hall then opened, and a woman with brown hair and black eyes, wearing a white dress and a pendant hanging in the middle of her forehead, walked out. In terms of temperament, this person was almost the complete opposite of that noisy guy, exuding gentleness and intellect.

"Greatsword, what happened?!"

Seeing this scene, the woman in white immediately rushed down to help, lifting her skirt in concern. The "great sword" she shouted was none other than Ryo Onoue. Ryo Onoue possesses the Holy Sword [Gouho Sword Gekido], which can transform into Kamen Rider Buster (great sword).

"Sophia, I can't explain this in a short time."

Ryo Onoue gently put the person off him and said helplessly:

"Where are the others? They've all disappeared."

"They all have their own things to do, so I let them leave first. Do we need to urgently recall them all?"

Sophia, that's the name of the woman in white. From the distant past, she has been a guardian of the "Sword of Truth," an organization that serves to protect the great book that created the world and maintain its balance, alongside the swordsmen chosen by the Holy Sword. She is also the manager of this base.

"Yes, let's call them all back, you see."

Ryo Oogami turned his head and pointed. Sofia saw Genji and Daichi Kamijou. Her mouth opened slightly in surprise. She nodded to Ryo Oogami, hurriedly ran upstairs again, and pushed open the door to leave.

At that moment, Touma Kamiyama, clutching his forehead and groaning, struggled to sit up. As his mind cleared slightly, his eyes widened in shock, his memory seemingly still stuck on the moment he was attacked by the crimson vortex. But as the novelist instinctively gripped the Holy Sword and looked around, realizing he was now at the North District base of the Sword of Truth, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Rintaro Shindo and Kento also slowly awoke. Seeing that his companions were unharmed, Touma Kamiyama smiled with relief. But immediately, he saw Genjo, who had tied up Daichi Kamijou and was leaning against the wall, seemingly resting.

"that......"

Kamiyama Touma's voice drew everyone's attention. The novelist looked at the black-clad knight and said softly:

"We're safe now. Everyone here is trustworthy, so there's no need to maintain the transformation anymore."

"........."

Genji didn't speak, but silently closed the Lost Driver at his waist. At that moment, a sound like dripping water reached the ears of the swordsmen. Blood dripping from their clothes quickly formed small patches on the ground. The pale-faced boy took a deep breath and looked at Ryo Ogami, saying:

"Do you have anything to eat? Anything is fine, could you give me some?"

"Please wait a moment... Yes...

Ryo Onoue nodded blankly, but before he could move, Rintaro Shindo and Kento, the two swordsmen familiar with the North District base, quickly ran towards the food storage area. The greatsword pointed somewhat blankly at the departing figure and whispered:

"They're moving very quickly, so please hang in there."

"It's okay, I won't die, I'm just a little tired."

Yuanxiang waved his hand dismissively, resting one hand on the armrest and regulating his breathing. At that moment, the noisy woman quietly approached, holding up the bandage in her hand, and said cautiously:

"How about I bandage your wound for you?"

"Bandaging me is pointless, don't waste your energy. Oh, right, I forgot to ask your name. May I ask..."

"Mei Sudo!"

The woman, like a child, raised her hand in response:

"Just call me Ya Yi, no need to be so polite with me."

"You... never mind."

Watching Sudo Mei introduce herself while holding up her bandages and persisting relentlessly, Gengo, unwilling to get entangled with her, sighed and said:

"Since we're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, this is going to be troublesome."

259 Avalon, the Kamishiro siblings

"Oh, no trouble at all, no trouble at all, eh?"

Hearing Genji agree, Sudo Mei eagerly wanted to bandage his wounds, but Genji deftly took the bandage from her hand and gently tapped Sudo Mei's forehead with the white bandage, saying:

"Could you please find me some suitable clothes? And do you have a spare room I could use?"

The last sentence was addressed to Ryo Onoue, but Sophia answered him, apparently having finished her work. At the same time, Rintaro Shindo and Kento ran back with food. Gengo smiled gratefully at them, then took some out and ate it while going to the empty room to wash up and change.

Gensou was quick, finishing in less than ten minutes. However, he still hadn't bandaged himself. Well, the friction between his clothes and skin wasn't too painful, just a little strange. But if he put on a bandage, he could feel the cloth tightening into the cracks and making his skin numb with every movement. Here, Gensou had to give special praise to 'Luna'. The bandages she conjured were just right; he could never manage to bandage them properly on his own.

When Yuanxiang walked into the hall with the food, there were two more people inside: a boy who seemed to love to laugh and a man with long hair and a high forehead. However, the man seemed to be very shy. After making eye contact with him, he quickly looked away and raised one hand to cover his face.

"Are you the same Genji who defeated the traitor and beat the Megid leader to a pulp?"

The boy, quite the opposite of the man, jumped in front of Gensou and asked questions with an air of familiarity, making Gensou feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's me, huh? Where's Kamijou Daichi?"

Gensho picked up some food from the table and continued eating while asking questions. The somewhat impatient Kento, standing to the side, sighed and answered softly:

"He's locked up. No matter how we call him, we can't wake him up. We have no choice but to do this for now."

"Understandable."

Gensou swallowed the ham in his mouth and said nonchalantly:

"After all, that guy took the most damage in that battle. It's good that he didn't die. Let him recover before interrogating him. Um, Sage? Did I call you that right?"

"No, my full name is Kento Tomikamiya. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gengo."

"During the battle just now, I also saw some scenes through the [Dark Sword Moon Darkness]."

Although the specific details were still unclear, Gengo vaguely realized that the person who had previously possessed the holy sword was probably the father of Fujimiya Kento, and that his father had also caused quite a stir, which made the young swordsman quite agitated. So Gengo told him what he had seen to prevent him from becoming inexplicably agitated.

"【Dark Sword Moonlight】seems to possess the ability to foresee the future, and through that sword I saw a vision of the world's destruction."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, all the swordsmen present shouted in unison. Onoue Ryo quickly grabbed Genji's shoulder and anxiously asked:

"What on earth is happening? Why is the world being destroyed?!"

"I'm sorry, I only saw that brief scene. More details will probably only be available after the owner of the holy sword awakens."

Gensou shrugged and explained helplessly. Everyone else also rubbed their foreheads. If Kamijou Daichi could wake up, they wouldn't be gathered here now.

"........"

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

At that moment, Gengo noticed Sudo Mei's gaze and asked softly. The woman scratched her hair and whispered:

"It's nothing, it's just that even though the 'world has been destroyed,' you seem so relaxed, as if you don't care at all."

"So what if the world is destroyed..."

Hearing Genji's answer, everyone else couldn't help but look at him with strange eyes. The grinning young swordsman was about to say something when Genji continued in a rather subtle tone:

You'll get used to it.

Forehead......

Although these words sounded somewhat unbelievable, the fact that they came from Yuanxiang's mouth made them feel convinced. For a moment, everyone present became very curious about Yuanxiang's past.

Just as Shinzan Touma was about to ask Gensou which holy sword his power came from, the door to the hall was gently pushed open, and a woman dressed in a red Sword of Truth uniform walked in. She looked around with a hint of curiosity, but after noticing the gazes of others, her expression turned slightly cold. She looked at Sophia standing on the second floor and said:

"Are you the manager of the North District Base—Lady Sophia?"

"May I ask who you are...?"

Sophia nodded, then asked in confusion. The newcomer straightened up and said in a deep voice:

"I am Reika Kamishiro from the South Base. I have come here by order of the Holy Lord of Truth."

"The Holy Lord of Truth?!"

The crowd gasped in surprise. That was the highest authority of the swordsmen who controlled the Sword of Truth. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to see that person. Even veteran members like Ryo Onoue had only seen the Lord of Truth a handful of times. In addition, the two bases of the Sword of Truth in the North and South districts usually managed their own affairs. So, hearing the Lord's order out of the blue, the swordsmen were truly uneasy.

"It's about megid."

Reika Kamishiro ignored everyone's reactions and said directly:

"Our Southern Base recently received information that Megid is colluding with traitors from the Sword of Truth, seemingly plotting to seize the power of the Lost Land—Avalon. Therefore, the Holy Lord hopes that your Northern Base can cooperate with our operations... What's with that expression on your faces?"

Reika Kamishiro noticed the strange looks from the swordsmen around her, her face darkened, and she spoke in a terrifying tone:

"Are you defying the commands of the Holy Lord of Truth?!"

"No, no, listen to me, it's like this..."

Ryota Onoue hurriedly stepped forward to explain to Reika Kamishiro. Then they saw the aloof envoy's expression gradually crumble, and finally she stared wide-eyed at Genji, who was sitting there eating and drinking heartily. She couldn't believe it, but seeing that the swordsmen present were willing to swear an oath in the name of the Holy Sword as a guarantee, she had no choice but to believe it. After all, it couldn't be that all the swordsmen in the entire North District base had become traitors.

"I will pass this on to the Lord of Truth. I believe he will be very pleased to hear about it."

Reika Kamishiro composed herself slightly, looking at Ryo Onoue earnestly as she spoke, but immediately changed the subject, turning to Sophia and saying:

"Now that the traitor has been captured, please hand him over to me and escort him to the South District Base. The Lord of Truth is also very eager to know why the outstanding swordsman of the Sword of Truth chose to betray us."
