I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

However, it's good that Poppypipopapo disappeared. Gengo could sense that this game navigator wasn't just a simple AI; she was likely an artificial intelligence with a high degree of self-awareness. Judging from her expressions and various reactions, none of this seemed fake. This raises a new question: behind this "Kamen Rider Chronicle" might be a group of similar intelligent AIs controlling things. Perhaps the AI ​​awakening from Kamen Rider 01 has already been achieved here. Therefore, it's best to avoid them to prevent other troubles.

After repeatedly confirming that no one was paying attention to him, Yuanxiang took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and felt the flow of data within his body, and then...

Great, Joker and Cyclone still work, I'll go for it.

Following the radar's guidance, Gensou quickly arrived at the nearest bugster checkpoint, where a number of ride-players had already gathered and were engaged in battle around a bugster mini-boss wearing a white hood and wielding a red staff.

However, despite the large number of ride-players, the progress of the raid is not optimistic. This is not only because there are a considerable number of bugster minions around the mage boss, but also because the mage boss is well aware of the mage's strategy of not engaging in melee combat. He keeps his distance from the ride-players at all times and uses magic to continuously suppress them with overwhelming attacks.

However, I should be able to dodge attacks at that speed.

Gensho casually flicked his hand, summoning the ride-player's matching weapon—the ride-weapon (Knight's Armor). This weapon has a sword mode and a gun mode, which can be easily switched by simply straightening or bending the sword. It has to be said, this is quite interesting.

"You lot, you'll never beat me! Shibireru (paralyze)!"

At this moment, the mage boss shouted out his signature line, then raised his staff high. A huge magic circle unfolded, and dense lightning struck, instantly causing the ride-players to stand still and tremble. At the same time, the buggers nearby seized the opportunity to attack the immobilized ride-players. In an instant, nearly half of the players were knocked to the ground. Although their health was not yet depleted, the muscle paralysis buff from the lightning was perfectly applied to them.

Among so many players, one figure stood out. The magic circle in the sky had not yet disappeared, and lightning was still falling. He just barged in like that. However, the attack range of each lightning strike was quite subtle, just missing his position. The mage boss who saw this snorted in dissatisfaction, waved his wand, and the magic circle changed, focusing its attack on that person.

But at the very moment the boss changed tactics, Genji's movements became incredibly swift. He turned to dodge an attack from a buster grunt, then kicked another bugster grunt away. He then charged forward, the lightning bolt locked onto him crashing down, but the bugster in mid-air absorbed the damage for Genji. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Genji raised his hand and fired a shot. The energy blast struck the mage boss's wrist, causing a slight pause in his spellcasting. Then, Genji threw his knight's armor at the boss, interrupting his actions once again.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!"

The mage boss angrily clutched his wrist, raised both hands, and his wand suddenly burst forth with a terrifying light.

"Kudakechiru (Break)!"

In an instant, the legendary magic appeared before all the players, unleashing a magic array in the air that released flames, ice, and lightning, launching a comprehensive attack on the area surrounding the boss. Once this magic was completed, all the players present would likely have their health reduced to zero.

However, at that moment, the mage boss saw Gensou, who was charging towards him, suddenly sway and fall as if he had fallen flat on his face. But of course, this could not have happened to Gensou. In this game, there are special badge-type items called 'energy items', which are used to grant players other special abilities. For example, the one that Gensou deliberately touched was called 'speeding-up,' which can temporarily increase the speed of movement and allow for high-speed movement.

Meanwhile, to the astonishment of the magician boss, Gensou, who should have fallen to the ground after touching the energy item, braced himself against the floor with his hand. Using the grip of one arm, he stopped his forward momentum, regained his balance in the blink of an eye, and with lightning speed, he used the pillar behind him to push off, and with the boost of 'speeding-up', he instantly broke through the distance that the boss had calculated was completely impossible to pass.

I've run into you.

Gensou gripped the magician boss's arm and spoke in a deep, magnetic voice, but the busger was too busy to react. As the boy spoke, he was repeatedly thrown to the ground like a raging cloak. Amidst the continuous roar and afterimages, huge craters appeared around Gensou.

When the 'speeding-up' enhancement effect wore off, Genji, seeing the boss with its last sliver of health, and to the astonishment of the other players, tore off the boss's arm, which was already only connected by a few joints, and used the bone-spur-like end to pierce the mage boss's skull. After the bugster's limbs twitched violently, its body suddenly stiffened, and it, along with the surrounding minions, turned into data and disappeared.

Then, a blue Rider Spinning Game cartridge fell from the sky and landed in Genji's hand. The boy examined it for a moment, then tentatively pressed the button. With the sound effect of 'taddlequest', he felt an even stronger corrosive force than when he first transformed into a Rider-Player surge out of his body again, as if it wanted to assimilate his flesh and blood into data and then decompose it. However, this level of corrosive force, which could be fatal, was not something that Genji needed to pay attention to. He calmly put away the boss clear record cartridge, took a few deep breaths, and the corrosive force passed.

"pi!"

Just then, the game navigator, poppypipopapo, made another dazzling appearance with her catchphrase. She danced and shouted at the projection screen facing the source village, as if celebrating a dance:

"Congratulations! Congratulations to the Rider-Palyer hero player for successfully defeating Alhambra Bugster, becoming the first player in Kamen Rider Chronicles to defeat a boss bugster. This is a server-wide announcement as a reward for this achievement. Due to the successful defeat of the boss bugster, Kamen Rider Chronicles will be undergoing an early update, forcing all players to disconnect. The update is expected to complete in three minutes. After the update, the perfect game that seamlessly blends virtual and reality will truly arrive. Please look forward to it!"

"Hey......"

Gensou looked at the game navigator. Although she was behaving well, he could still detect a hint of fear in her eyes and expressions. It seemed that she had seen the ending of his kill on the mage boss. The boy, of course, did not try to comfort her or salvage his image. Instead, he wanted to seize on this fear and get more information from poppypipopapo.

Unfortunately, poppypipopapo didn't give Gengo a chance to speak before disappearing, and all the players were forced offline, causing Gengo to lose his transformation.

It's really frustrating. Although we've taken down one boss, we still don't quite understand the current situation.

"Hey! Hey buddy, that's pretty impressive. Could we see your completion record... um...?"

Just as Gensou clicked his tongue and put away the pass record card, a loud shout came from behind him. Although they said they were just taking a look, anyone with a normal IQ could hear the malice in their voices. However, those guys didn't finish their sentences. Gensou silently turned his head and coldly stared at those ill-intentioned guys without saying a word. But an invisible pressure quietly made the atmosphere here extremely heavy, as if the air itself had gained weight. Those who were being stared at felt their heartbeats getting louder and louder. The 'thump thump thump' sound was even like drums beating right next to their ears, making their limbs numb and their heads spin.

"No, do you hear me?"

At this moment, Yuanxiang's casual voice interrupted the pounding heartbeats. Like the dawn after a storm, it was so touching. The players behind him nodded blankly, watching Yuanxiang walk away slowly with his hands in his pockets. Only after his figure disappeared did they gasp for breath, as if trying to suck the air out of the area, and slumped to the ground.

"Big brother, what's that thing? It's terrifying!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here. That guy probably has people under his command. Let's pretend we were never here. Come on, carry me and get out of here."

"Brother, my legs are still weak..."

Gengo paid no attention to those guys and headed towards the address left by Kuroyukihime. Although he didn't know what that feeling of being corrupted was, there was no doubt that it was not a good thing. In that case, there must be some kind of unspeakable secret in this "Kamen Rider Chronicle". Before this secret is revealed, it is best not to make any rash contact.

"Wow!!!!"

what? !

However, just as Yuanxiang was on his way, a scream came from the side. Immediately afterwards, a ride-player flew out. If Yuanxiang hadn't caught him tightly, the person would probably have fallen directly into the river.

"Thanks, little bro. Damn bugster, watch me... ugh!!!"

The ride-player sincerely thanked Gengo, and at the same time struggled down, wanting to continue fighting the bugster, but before he could take two steps, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground, the transformation was canceled. Gengo hurriedly helped him up, and before he could say anything, he saw abnormal yellow pixel blocks appear on the person in his arms, and strange electric currents were flowing through his body.

"How is this going?"

"I don't know either."

The person who was infected looked at Gensho with an innocent expression and said:

"It's probably because you got hit by that bugger, little bro. Step back a bit, let me take it down. Don't get caught in the crossfire, um..."

Seeing that this guy was unable to get back up, Gengo sighed helplessly, took out the "Kamen Rider Chronicle" Rider Transformation Game cartridge, became a ride-player, and rejoined the battle. This time he was in a hurry, so he had to finish the battle quickly.

"Hehehe, you bunch of guys, all of you, get down! Get down! Get down!"

This time, the boss bugster is a robot dressed like a vampire count, wearing a black top hat and cloak. The weapon module on his left wrist is undoubtedly his weapon. Just now, every time he shouted "Down!", his left wrist blasted away at least one ride-player. The powerful output made the surrounding players scatter immediately, so as not to be like the unlucky guy just now, being skewered and knocked away together.

"Successful!"

At that moment, a player who had consumed the 'shrink' energy item timed it perfectly and ambushed the boss from behind, raising his knight's armor and stabbing at the count boss's back. However, this boss's movement was clearly far superior to the mage's. He swiftly sidestepped, simultaneously flicking his cloak to dodge the attack and obscure the attacker's vision. Then, he raised his left wrist and punched the player whose head was covered by the cloak. The guttural groan and the player's slumped body, seemingly unresponsive, indicated that he had been knocked unconscious.

This person must have leveled up, otherwise their health should have been depleted.

The player next to him muttered to himself, but he didn't have much time to think about it now, because the minions summoned by the boss bugster had already surrounded him. The minions around each type of boss bugster were different, and they would change depending on the boss's attributes. For example, the minions around the mage boss could perform certain magic attacks, while the current one undoubtedly inherited the boss's fighting style and stats, which were mainly based on melee attacks.

"Oh!"

Just as the boss was about to pounce on him along with his minions, a precise bullet struck him between the eyebrows, halting his movements. At the same time, Gensou reached out and touched the energy item beside him, and the light of 'instigate' faintly shone on his body.

397 Murder Game

'instigate'

The power of this energy item is self-evident. When Yuanxiang touched it, all the bugsters' hatred turned to him, and the minions swarmed forward, abandoning the other players, brandishing their weapons and shouting as they charged towards Yuanxiang.

But.....

That's not enough.

Gensou took a step back slightly, avoiding the attack from the front. Then, he dodged to the side, and the sneak attack from behind grazed past him, landing squarely on the head of the bugster who had lost his balance after missing the frontal attack. Then, the boy hooked his foot, and the grunt in front of him was thrown backward by the force of the impact, his neck hitting the weapon behind him, killing him instantly with a fatal blow.

Then, Gengo calmly rammed to the left, causing the bugster to stumble and avoid the attack. He kicked the knee of a nearby enemy, making it kneel down, and then kicked its rear, sending it flying into a group of monsters. The boy turned around and flicked his leg, sending the long-handled weapon that had fallen to the ground flying out and impaling the bugsters that were struggling to get up.

"Okay, don't get up."

Genshou glanced down at the monster he had knocked down, which was lying on the ground pretending to be dead and waiting for an opportunity to ambush him. He then stomped hard on its head. The ominous cracking sound made the faces of the players next to him change. The fighter boss was speechless and subconsciously took a half step back.

Is there anything else?

Looking at the surrounding minions and henchmen who had been cleared out, Gensou spread his arms wide and spoke to the boss in a flippant tone:

"This isn't enough, I haven't had enough yet. Why don't you summon some more and let me have a big free-for-all?"

"Arrogant brat, I'll see just how tough you are!!"

The fighter boss roared and charged towards Gensou with his left wrist. During the attack, a player tried to take advantage of the boss's opening, but was immediately punched away. The other players who were itching to attack immediately became quiet and watched the boss rush towards Gensou. After all, it was a good thing to have someone chip away at the boss's health for their side.

Seeing this, Yuanxiang was also very happy. To be honest, if the people surrounding him were his followers and soldiers, he would have a lot of human shields. But if the people surrounding him were humans, he would have to cooperate carefully. If he encountered a group of bad players, he would have to worry about helping to provide cover so that no one would die.

"Huh? Instead of running away, you're actively approaching me?"

The fighter boss looked at Gensou, who had sheathed his knight's armor and assumed a fighting stance, and roared disdainfully. Gensou chuckled, staring intently at his enemy's limbs, and replied softly:

"How can I flatten you if I don't get close to you?"

"Insanity!"

The fighter boss threw a punch with the speed of a cheetah, the weapon on his left wrist emitting a sharp screech. It was clear that this attack wasn't just imbued with the bugster's own power, but also amplified by the weapon or skill's energy. However, despite the swiftness of the strike, Genji had been watching him closely the entire time, so there was no reason for it to hit. But alas...

"I'm not that stupid!"

The fighter boss naturally understood that its armed left hand was a major focus of the enemy's attention, and it acknowledged that it was indeed its most important point of attack, but that didn't mean it would only use its left hand to launch attacks!

Seeing that Gengo had dodged his attack, the fighter boss immediately raised his knee to strike the boy's abdomen. However, Gengo blocked the attack with his hands crossed. He also took a step back to stabilize himself and did not stagger backward due to the force of the enemy's attack. He used his hands to press down the fighter boss's knee and, taking advantage of the moment when the guy's balance was broken, delivered a short punch to its abdomen!

"Well!!!"

The fighter boss was sent flying and crashed to the ground, rubbing its stomach and letting out a miserable howl. It angrily pounded the ground, said nothing, got up, summoned its minions, and they all attacked Genji. But this was too convenient for Genji. The boy casually grabbed something, and a perfect 'shield' was pulled out, blocking the boss's attack. He then dodged to the side, and the spear that was originally meant to ambush the boy was now aimed directly at the fighter boss's face. At the same time, Genji seized the opening and unleashed a flurry of punches on one cheek. While the boss was being beaten dizzy, the boy's hands slid down onto the fighter boss's shoulders, opening its defenses, followed by a cannon punch to the chest!

"Damn it..."

The fighter boss groaned as he waved his hands to disperse the minions surrounding him. Clutching his chest, he looked at the cracked mechanical armor and gritted his teeth as he stood up with a muffled groan. He took a deep breath and stared intently at Genji, who was slowly approaching him. "Hmph!!!" He stomped his foot and launched another attack on Genji, acting like a brute, completely without any strategy. It was as if he had been beaten senseless and had lost his temper, so he was just fighting wildly.

This had no effect on Gensou. The boy calmly brushed aside the fighter boss's attack and slapped it across the face. The next ten or so exchanges were an endless cycle like this. No matter how the fighter boss attacked, his fist was always just a hair's breadth away from Gensou's body. It was as if he could hit Gensou if he just extended his fist a little bit more.

This person is about to complete the walkthrough!

As the fighter boss's health continued to drop, the players around them became restless. After all, they could get a reward of proof of completion. Even if it was just an announcement, wasn't that enough for the players?

but......

I dare not move...

Although no reason or explanation could be found, after exchanging glances, none of the players made a move. It was undeniable that the player who intervened halfway through the fight was truly strong, and his fighting skills were exceptionally beautiful, clean and decisive, leaving no room for criticism, and even possessing a considerable sense of violent beauty. It felt as if anyone would have to intervene at this moment, as if they would have lost completely somewhere along the way.

"Hey... good luck!"

A player brandished his knight's armor and shouted towards Yuanxiang:

"Kill this bugster!"

"Wow! Dude, that's awesome! You've conquered it!"

"Stay calm! Stay calm! Don't rush! Keep your pace! You can do it!"

Once one person started, the other players gave up and started cheering for Yuanxiang, offering advice and suggestions. Sometimes, when the fighter boss made a tricky move, their reactions were even bigger than Yuanxiang's. I wonder if they were actually teaming up to grind monsters here.

"Saltyknuckle!"

Just then, the fighter boss, who seemed to have fallen into a berserk state, suddenly changed his move. His wild style instantly became calm, and the weapon module on his left wrist emitted a dangerous red light. This was clearly a long-prepared killing move, a final blow specifically prepared to defeat Gensou at this moment. All the recklessness before was for this moment!

"it's useless."

"what?!"
