Facing the iron bar that Genshou was attacking again, Patriot snorted and rammed his shield forward, intending to disrupt Genshou's balance. But to his surprise, Genshou did not dodge at all and came straight at him. The two bodies, one black and one silver, collided immediately. With a dull thud, the two gritted their teeth and struggled, and their feet sank into the ground.
Finally, Patriot roared, slamming his shield aside and forcing Genji back slightly. Simultaneously, he swung his massive halberd with a vengeance, striking Genji's shoulder amidst Alina's gasp. The knight's body bent slightly, but under Patriot's full pressure, he slowly straightened up. His silver hand dropped the metal rod, grasped the halberd on his shoulder, and he whispered:
"Next time, aim for my head, otherwise you won't be able to hurt me!"
Upon realizing that Genji intended to break the giant halberd, Patriot immediately exerted force, and the spinning halberd scraped orange-red sparks from the knight's armor. However, Patriot knew very well that the blade of the halberd had not left any marks on the knight's body. Therefore, just as Genji had said, if one wanted to defeat him by brute force alone, one could only attack his head and use the vibrations to paralyze his brain and stop his body.
"Don't get in my way!!"
At this moment, Froststar quietly spread her chill over, wanting to help Patriot take down this strange enemy. However, before the chill could take effect, it was shattered by Genji's kick. The moment the knight stared at her, the white rabbit felt as if she were being stared at by a demon, who could take her life at any moment.
"If you're going to fight, come up here and fight fair and square! Don't try anything funny! You're asking for it!"
"You're asking for it!!"
Gengo roared at Frostnova, but before he could finish speaking, Patriot suddenly went berserk. Crimson energy swirled around the giant halberd in his hand, as if it were about to devour someone. At the same time, Gengo felt a series of stinging pains on his skin, as if this energy could penetrate his armor and directly harm him.
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to use a hostage to blackmail you."
As a Kamen Rider who is frequently held hostage by monsters, Gengo instantly understood the source of his anger. As he hurriedly apologized, his tone became even more fervent:
"But if you have such methods, you should have used them sooner. That's how it should be, that's what real fighting should be like!"
Are you crazy?
Patriot wanted to ask Genji this question: He had seen many battle maniacs, but someone so obsessed with it, even enjoying the approach of death, was still...
But Patriot's words were never uttered, for the knight had already launched his attack. He abandoned his weapon and swung his iron fists at Patriot. Several deep fist marks immediately appeared on Patriot's shield, and the ear-piercing clang caused several villagers who had not yet evacuated to faint.
At this moment, Gengo was like a drumstick, using Patriot as a medium to continuously vibrate the drumhead called Earth. During this time, Patriot's attacks did not stop. Sometimes swift and powerful, sometimes unpredictable, the giant halberd attacked Gengo with a scarlet aura. And just as Gengo had sensed before, even though the 'Metal' armor provided some protection, some of Patriot's attacks still ignored the defense and landed on Gengo's body.
However, to Patriot's astonishment, the injury did not slow down Genji's movements. On the contrary, the knight's attacks became even more savage, a completely life-or-death fighting style. He also heard Genji's low laughter, which moved Patriot. He realized that this boy was enjoying all of this. Pain was just a seasoning for him, and the wounds were insignificant to him. Patriot himself had become a sacrifice to satisfy his desires. What a terrifying opponent!
But to underestimate me like that, you have some nerve!!
Patriot's anger erupted. How could the Ursus soldiers tolerate such contempt? He roared and used his shield as a cleaver to attack Genshou. At the same time, he rubbed his other hand on the shaft of his halberd, and the giant halberd suddenly thrust out, aiming straight for Genshou's chest.
But the knight did not back down. He caught the shield with one hand and the halberd with the other, and with both hands he pushed forward, actually pushing Patriot forward. Even though Patriot tried twice to stand firm, under the impact of this chariot-like force, he only left two long plow marks on the ground.
No, this will cause trouble.
Patriot was already vaguely aware that he was losing his balance. If he didn't react soon, he would be defeated. At the same time, he saw Frostnova trying to rush over to help him. This was not an option. His daughter was no match for this knight. She would die on the spot!
Thinking of his daughter, Patriot's body erupted with powerful strength, barely managing to stand. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he abandoned his weapon, his claws wreathed in crimson energy reaching out towards Gensou, grabbing his shoulder, and throwing the knight out.
"Hahaha, so it's hand-to-hand combat now? Great, great! But since you've given up your weapons, it's not right for me to be wearing heavy armor!"
Gensho rubbed his hands together with anticipation. Then, the knight in front of Patriot changed. With the sound effect of 'Fang', his silver-white metallic color turned pale, and an extremely ferocious and savage aura suddenly burst out from his body.
This gave Patriot the illusion that what was standing in front of him was a walking skeleton of a ferocious beast, with sharp, claw-like fingertips that made him suddenly realize that his armor might be as fragile as paper under its attack.
However, to think you can defeat me is simply wishful thinking!
Patriot's eyes gleamed with a cold, crimson light, like brilliant stars. A dark red aura erupted from his body, forming a terrifying domain centered on him, like a swamp capable of swallowing countless lives. At this point, everyone held their breath. No one had expected the battle to develop to this extent. Perhaps in the next move, or perhaps in an instant, the battle would end.
"Stop! This is enough!!"
Scorching flames descended from the sky as Talulah, wielding her greatsword, plunged into the battlefield. This battle had far exceeded her expectations; she never imagined that her side might suddenly lose a key figure. Moreover, according to Alina, this Gensou was a normal person with a friendly attitude towards Originium Infected, a friend worth making. Hmm... it's all my fault for getting carried away and making things turn out this way.
"Get out of the way, Talulah! This is a battle between warriors!"
"It's okay, it's okay, you can all come at me together!"
Patriot and Yuanxiang shouted one after the other. Neither of the two men intended to end the fight; they were determined to settle the score!
But at that moment, Froststar silently stood beside Patriot without saying a word, but her stubborn eyes clearly showed that she was willing to live and die with her father.
At the same time, Gensho heard a self-reproachful sob. Alina regretfully took the blame for the current situation upon herself, and the sound of her saying "I'm sorry" accompanied by falling tears reached Gensho's ears.
"...I'm hooked."
Gensou pounded his head with his hand, took a deep breath, and as the pale fragments scattered, a bloodied boy's face was revealed. He shook his head and said softly:
"It shouldn't have come to the point of life and death, but Mr. Patriot was just too strong, so I got too caught up in the battle. I'm sorry."
"......"
Hearing this, Patriot stubbornly continued to channel his crimson power, but upon realizing that his daughter seemed unable to withstand the corrosive aura, he sighed helplessly, dissipated the power, reached out to support Froststar, and said in a somber tone:
"Let's save the outcome for next time."
"No problem, no problem. If Mr. Patriot doesn't mind, how about we have a simple sparring session on the use of long weapons next time? To be honest, I really didn't expect that 'whoosh' thrust you made just now. How did you do that, sir?"
"Hmph... Hmph, that's just a simple technique. Everyone can use my shield guards."
Seeing Genji approach and imitate him, and noticing the fervor that had faded from the boy's eyes, Patriot paused for a moment, then picked up the great halberd and tossed it into Genji's hands, saying:
"Your attacks are completely haphazard; has no one taught you anything?"
"We don't actually have that..."
Talulah and Frostnova stared in disbelief at the old woman and the child exchanging pleasantries. They blinked at each other, unable to comprehend what was going on. Was this what they called 'friendship forged in battle'?
148 Integration Movement
"Talulah, don't mess with him anymore."
After a brief exchange on their experiences using long weapons, Gensou was pulled away by Alina to tend to his wounds, while Patriot planted his greatsword in the ground, picked up his shield, looked at the fist marks on it, and said solemnly to Talulah who had approached:
"This Yuanxiang is terrifying; the darkness within him far exceeds any of our imagination..."
So we should be careful of him?
Talulah gripped the hilt of her sword, her expression turning serious, but she immediately shook her head in frustration. What was the point of watching Patriot's actions when he could fight Patriot to a standstill? He could just flip the table whenever he wanted.
You misunderstood me.
Patriot gently shook his head, looking in the direction Yuanxiang had left, and said:
"Although he was crazy, his rationality was even more terrifying. All his desires were suppressed by him. Talulah, you are not a warrior, you don't know how enjoyable it is when you are in the heat of battle. At least he was completely intoxicated by it. But even so, he put that enjoyment out of his mind in the blink of an eye, ended the battle, and chatted and laughed as usual, without showing any sign of being unsatisfied."
At this point, Patriot glanced at Talulah, and seeing that the young leader didn't seem to understand his meaning, he continued helplessly:
"He is probably the most disciplined person I have ever met. He possesses unimaginable power, yet he willingly lives in the cage he has set for himself. So, Talulah, go and make contact with him. If he doesn't agree with us, then let him do as he pleases. I believe that given our current situation, he will not betray us."
"Dad, are you sure?"
Frostnova, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up. She recalled that fierce, predatory look in his eyes again, and pursed her lips as she said:
"I feel he's just a...rational madman, maybe his Originium is growing in his brain."
"No, he's not. He's probably just been holding back for too long and was provoked by the killing intent of me and the Shield Guards."
Patriot pulled out his greatsword and slowly walked towards the shieldbearer, saying in a low voice:
"No matter what, he is still just a man. His fists have told me a lot. I'm going to gather the Shield Guards. We still need to clear out the east side tomorrow."
After saying this, Patriot ended the conversation and walked firmly and powerfully toward his troops. Frostnova and Talulah exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness. Just then, they suddenly heard shouts and curses. They hurriedly ran to the back of the house and saw three teenagers fighting together. Their faces were full of ferocity, and their eyes seemed to be filled with evil spirits about to rush out.
"stop!"
Froststar's expression turned cold, and a faint chill swept over them, causing the group to shiver. The three who were choking each other and grabbing each other's hair paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting the situation to escalate to this point, and quickly released each other.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Talulah walked over in confusion and asked. Her team was small, so she knew very well that the three kids were usually good brothers. She really couldn't understand why they had gotten into this mess. If they hadn't been noticed, they might have really caused a death.
"Um... um... we were just talking about whether Grandpa Patriot is more handsome or that new knight is more handsome."
The boy with bear ears lowered his head in shame and said:
"But... I don't know why, I suddenly got really angry... I'm sorry, Ugu, Anton, I..."
"I was wrong too, Valery, I didn't mean to strangle you, sob..."
Seeing the three boys crying with self-blame, Talulah smiled, patted their heads, and comforted them, saying:
"It's alright, it's all over now. Go and rest. It's probably because everyone has been on the move lately that you've all been under too much pressure. Go on."
After seeing the three children off, Talulah sighed helplessly and looked at Frostnova, saying:
"Go and see?"
"Of course, I'm also very curious whether my dad made a mistake in his judgment."
Just as Talulah and Frostnova were walking towards the medical room, Genji was looking at Alina with a headache in front of him, and softly comforted her, saying:
“Miss Alina, the cause of this battle has nothing to do with you. I just had an itchy hand. Even if I hadn’t met Mr. Patriot today, maybe other old men would have fought with me in the future. So, don’t blame yourself anymore. Smile. I still think Miss Alina is most beautiful when she’s smiling.”
"...I didn't realize Mr. Gensho could be so glib."
Alina paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and then smiled, but gently pressed her hand on Gensou's arm, saying in an annoyed tone:
"I imagine Mr. Laixiang must be very popular with girls."
"Well... how should I put it, actually even if I'm not glib, I'm still quite popular."
Gensou tilted his head slightly, as if waiting for praise. Although his movements were somewhat frivolous, they also had a rather subtle charm, like a child declaring himself an adult. Gensou then realized this, put on a serious face, tapped the table, and said:
"Don't laugh! I just look young!"
"Mmm... Pfft~~~"
"I told you not to laugh!!"
"What are you guys chatting about? If you don't mind, could we join in?"
At that moment, Genji suddenly felt the surrounding temperature drop sharply. Then, the door to the room opened, and Talulah and Frostnova walked in. The silver-haired dragon girl smiled and said to Genji:
"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively before. I have offended you and I hope you will forgive me."
"It's alright, it's alright. I would have done the same if a strange woman had broken into my friend's room. Please sit down. I suppose you have something to ask me."
Hmm... Hmm? Was there something illogical about what he just said? Oh well...
Talulah banished all the random thoughts from her mind, then sat down opposite Gensou, sitting upright and saying:
“My name is Talulah, and I am the leader of the Reunion Movement. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gensou.”
“My name is Gengo, a detective from Fuuto, and also a Kamen Rider. It’s nice to meet you too, Miss Talulah.”
Ok?
Talulah paused slightly, looking at the hand reaching out towards her, then gazed at Gensou and said:
"I am infected."
