In this fantasy world, be a Kamen Rider

"Who is it!"

The vampires paused, their wine glasses fell to the ground and shattered into glittering fragments, tinged with crimson. But they had no time to worry about their spoils; they all looked up, bat wings faintly visible behind them.

A dark shadow descended from the sky. Through the moonlight, the vampires saw a yellow, bat-like eye reflecting a cold light. It had bright white ears and flew down rapidly in the moonlight, its wings flapping and creating whirlpools of air.

"It's your Old Man Ye!"

Night Song has transformed into Night Rogue. With the help of the energy bottle synthesized from vampire power, he possesses even greater power than the first generation. The flapping of his wings generates tremendous propulsion, and a cold glint shoots out, grazing the necks of several vampires.

"Ugh... Ugh..." The vampires' eyes widened as they clutched their bleeding throats. Their vocal cords had been slashed, and the smoke swords were silently reaping their life force. However, the vampires' constitution quickly kicked in, and the bleeding decreased. What was fatal to humans was merely a troublesome wound to them.

The lights dimmed, plunging the arena into darkness, but this did not affect the battle. Vampires possess exceptional night vision and a keen sense of smell, a trait that Night Song inherited from the Knight Armor.

Like a gecko slithering across the wall, Ye Ge's figure flashed as he continuously thrust out his sword. Wings wrapped around him as he traversed the confined space, amidst the screams of the vampires and the constant gushing of blood from their bodies.

"It's over, you sons of bitches!"

Beneath the mask, Ye Ge's lips curled into a slight upturn, a crooked smile reminiscent of the Dragon King Shura. A cold smile was hidden beneath the yellow mask as he raised the smoke sword in his hand and plunged it into the abdomen of one of the vampires.

"Ugh! Damn it, such a small injury!"

The vampires gritted their teeth. Pain no longer affected their fighting ability; it was merely a warning sign from their bodies. When a person felt pain, it meant there might be a threat of death, but if they got used to the feeling and it wasn't fatal, it would no longer evoke fear.

Raising his pale hand, his nails gradually grew longer. The vampire's face twisted into a ferocious grin as he flipped over and forcefully clawed at Ye Ge's shoulder.

"Go and say hello to Death!!"

Click!

The crisp sound of breaking echoed in the room. He stared in astonishment at the broken fingernail and Ye Ge's unharmed shoulder. How could a nobody like him possibly break through the hardness of the knight's armor?

"It's you who should go."

Night Song remained expressionless, not even glancing up at his shoulder. He gripped the sword hilt and twisted it violently, making a constant gurgling sound as he churned up the vampire's internal organs.

"Although vampires possess formidable vitality, they are not immortal."

A hazy mist rose from the smoke sword in his hand, seeping into the vampire's body through the wound. Suddenly, his face contorted, his body curled up unnaturally, and he scratched his face wildly with his fingernails, breaking his pale skin and causing it to bleed profusely.

"Ugh! What... what the hell is this?! Why can't it heal?!"

Like a molting snake, the vampire writhed wildly on the floor, but with each movement, more and more gray gas enveloped his body, and his struggles became less and less intense.

Finally, the nebula gas enveloped him, and his body quickly shriveled up, condensing into a small ball that fell to the ground.

"Scum like you doesn't even deserve to be my follower!"

Night Song drew his gas-powered longsword, aimed it at the other vampires, and his tone unusually teasing:

"Fellow Daoists, it's time to set off."

"Attack him together! Kill him! He's all alone! Just a mere human!"

The fear of death fueled their final ferocity. They ceased to be human; their faces contorted, fangs sprouted from their mouths, and their blood-red wings unfurled, carrying a thick aura of blood, as they pounced on Night Song.

"Let's go!"

Night Rogue sheathed his sword at his side, the bat on his chest glowing, and the gas on his smoke sword thickened. He suddenly crouched forward, stepping onto the floor and leaving a shallow crater. This was because he had concentrated all his power in his wrist; otherwise, with Night Rogue's power, he would have been able to crack the floor.

A light appeared in the eyes of all the vampires. The Smoke Sword was actually emitting a faint glow. As the gas surged, the light formed lines, as if the sword had sliced ​​through the world, separating them from Night Song, making it impossible for them to get close again.

The icy chill lowered the temperature inside the room. Ye Ge straightened up, looked at the frozen vampires, took a deep breath, shouldered his greatsword, and shattered all the ice sculptures with his brute force, releasing nebulous gas.

"Why! I'm just a weak human being!"

"There's only one reason you failed! Because you got close to me! Wryyyyy!!"

The upgrade is so slow! I still can't post comments, so thank you everyone in advance.

If you use this layout again, I'll eat this screen!

Section 10. Alienation

The unwilling murmurs were cleared from her ears. Ye Ge took out the energy bottle from the transformation gun, opened the cap, and several clumps of gel-like material burrowed into the energy bottle and disappeared. There wasn't even a trace of blood on the ground, except that the purple color of the energy bottle had become even deeper.

"Phantom Box! Is there a limit to the purification of energy bottles? Or can they continue to grow stronger?"

After putting away BAT, Ye Ge raised the question in his mind. Because he had not yet deactivated his transformation, he could still feel the power in the energy bottle becoming more solid and powerful. Could it be that as long as he kept hunting vampires, he could completely surpass this race?

"When the collection of materials reaches its limit, it will become a special full bottle state."

The magic box gave a very concise answer, but the information it revealed made Ye Ge's heart tremble: a special full bottle! Right now, he only had ordinary energy bottles. If he could really get a special full bottle, his strength would definitely increase by another level, and the dangers ahead would be much less.

"Then, I'll be leaving now."

Suddenly, Ye Ge bowed slightly to a certain spot, giving a polite salute. Then, he took out a smoke gun and fired the gas at his feet. The gray mist engulfed his figure, and when the gas dissipated, Ye Ge had vanished without a trace.

"Tsk! The abnormal energy earlier affected the stability of the gap. Did he even detect that spatial fluctuation?"

Suddenly, a purple rift opened in the space, its end tied with a bow—perhaps tied by some wicked, mischievous young woman... Many pairs of eyes peered out from within the rift, sending chills down one's spine.

Emerging from the gap was a blonde beauty with a pair of fox ears in her smooth blonde hair. She wore a blue Taoist robe and was none other than the shikigami of the youkai sage, Yakumo Yukari—Yakumo Ran!

Yakumo Ran stared at the spot where Yoru had left, pondered for a long time, and then slowly walked back into the gap. The rift closed, and her figure disappeared. At this moment, the huge vampire stronghold was devoid of life.

"We need to report this situation to Lord Zi!"

……

"Phew, I don't know who it is! But since they used a gap, it must be someone from the Yakumo family."

Using the smoke gun to leave the base, Yoru returned to her house. Even in the briefest moment, it would be impossible to catch a glimpse of him unless Yukari Yakumo appeared in person and took action beforehand to knock the smoke gun away. Otherwise, it would be impossible to know his whereabouts.

"My back is a little itchy, is it because of the wings?"

Ye Ge shrugged, feeling that his wings were a bit strange. He immediately deactivated his transformation and then took out the smoke gun, because he wanted to see what changes had occurred in the purified energy bottle.

"henshin!"

Nightsong transformed back into Night Rogue. The bat emblem on his chest glowed, and his back suddenly lit up, filling the room with a bewitching purple hue, as if a purple aura was rising from the east. Through the mirror, Nightsong saw his reflection. The armor hadn't changed much, but his wings were completely different. An unidentified alloy, resembling twig fragments, formed the skeletal framework, with purple membrane wings attached to it. Compared to BAT, it resembled more the demonic wings of Legend Arc from KIVA.

Clatter, clatter!

Ye Ge suddenly crouched in front of the mirror, his purple membrane wings flashing wildly. The BAT energy bottle on his transformation gun emitted a dark purple current that flowed throughout his body. His armor silently dissipated, revealing Ye Ge's ferocious face. Strange noises came from his body, as if something was wriggling inside him.

The nebula gas appeared silently, and Night Song's bones shifted slightly and grew. His body had begun to mutate, and the number and position of his bones were different from those of humans. However, more gas covered the area of ​​his shoulder blades on his back and melted into his clothes and skin.

Sounds like silkworm cocoons breaking echoed throughout the room. Ye Ge's face was covered in cold sweat, and the purple light shining on his face could not hide the unusual flush on his face.

Fine, fragmented bones extended, passing through the clothes in the form of energy. Huge purple wings of light grew on the back. Night Rogue was ultimately not the main rider's transformation. The change in the rider armor brought about the alienation of Night Rogue's body. Nebula gas flowed within the body, merging into the blood and bones.

"I feel stronger now! Even with my bare hands, I can take down some weak monsters!"

Waving his fists and creating gusts of wind, Night Song retracted the magnificent purple wings behind him and looked at his palms with joy. He could feel the power growing within him, the power of the youkai and vampires of Gensokyo gradually merging into him, and his body, under the influence of the knight armor, finally began to upgrade.

"Phew, I'm a little hungry. Let's go out and get something to eat."

As the surging power within him gradually receded, Yege felt a bit hungry. A stronger body needed more energy to support it. Driven by instinct, Yege locked the house and, in the quiet night, stepped out of the peaceful human village. Along the way, he encountered some patrolling security personnel who tried to dissuade him, but Yege did not listen. On the contrary, he was more interested in the Gensokyo at night.

After all, nighttime is the domain of monsters!

Once outside the human realm, Ye Ge was attacked by some wild beasts and low-level monsters, but none of this bothered him. He slightly bent his fingers, extended his nails, and pierced their heads like blades. With a casual toss, he threw the corpses aside, leaving them to be devoured by other equally hungry beings.

"There are lights ahead, are they monsters?"

As Ye Ge walked into the animal path, he saw a faint red light ahead. Curiosity drove him to walk quickly forward. The red light slowly grew larger. It turned out to be the light emitted by a red lantern. Under the red lantern was a shop that looked like a carriage. There were some seats in front, and many people were already sitting there.

"Hey! There are actually humans here!"

A hairy werewolf put down his cheap liquor, turned around and saw Ye Ge looking at them curiously. His eyes lit up, and under the influence of alcohol, his monster nature began to surface. He swayed to his feet and pointed at Ye Ge, shouting.

"Come and see! Some reckless humans have come here!"

A rough, hoarse voice shattered the rare tranquility. Many demons put down their food and wine cups, watching Ye Ge approach with interest. A few demons, however, were already stirring with barely perceptible demonic energy.

"Boss lady, what do you have to eat?"

Ignoring the stares around her, Ye Ge sat down at the table and smiled kindly at the brown-winged monster inside.

"We have regular barbecue, but our specialty is grilled yakiniku (eel). Would you like to try some, Mr. Human?"

Section 11.11. A Taste of Fantasy Land

Mystia Loree flapped her wings, gave a very commercial and charming smile, and offered Night Song a glass of wine. She was just a businesswoman, and she didn't care whether the guests were human or monster. Similarly, even if there were arguments, fights, or even killings, she wouldn't care as long as it didn't affect her business.

"Thank you."

Night Song picked up her glass and drank it all in one gulp. The monster's wine was quite strong, and the spicy liquid slid across her tongue, making Night Song shiver. Her spirits lifted instantly, and she casually grabbed the barbecue that Mystia had brought over, then used the iron tongs to put the so-called grilled harpy eel into her mouth.

"Hmm! The taste is surprisingly good."

The fish's skin was grilled to a golden brown, but the meat inside wasn't overcooked. The completely different texture reminded Ye Ge of the days before he transmigrated, when he would eat and drink heartily at the barbecue stalls in front of his house. The crunchy texture came through as the teeth inside the yakiniku were grilled until crispy, turning into tiny particles that he swallowed as he chewed them.

A taste of Gensokyo!

With a lingering sense of enjoyment, Ye Ge put down the iron pliers and picked up another string of coins to continue eating. Beside him was a thick stack of coins. The lowly monsters squatting behind him, drinking, cast envious and jealous glances at him. Poor as they were, they could only afford the cheapest wine. They couldn't even dream of enjoying themselves as freely as Ye Ge did.

"Hey kid! Looks pretty rich! How about buying me a drink? If you do, I won't eat you."

The wolf demon staggered over, reeking of alcohol, and placed its furry paws on Ye Ge's shoulder. It stuck out its tongue and licked its lips, greedily eyeing Ye Ge and the barbecue in his hand, its claws slowly tightening.

"Aren't you going to eat me? Heh."

Ye Ge put down his wine glass, turned his head with a smug smile, and suddenly picked up the coins next to him and slapped them hard across the wolf demon's face. There were even copper coins in the coins, which made a loud thud as they hit the wolf demon's face. The hard copper coins struck his soft eyes.

"And another thing, don't touch me!"

After slapping the money in his face, Yege grabbed the wolf's paw on his shoulder with one hand and twisted it hard. A cracking sound of bones breaking rang out. Before the wolf demon could scream, Yege imitated Ibuki Suika's actions and threw the writhing wolf demon away, sending it crashing heavily to the ground beside him, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"These clothes need to be washed properly."

With disgust, Ye Ge patted the spot where the wolf demon had touched him, then sat back down in his seat and finished his drink. The intoxication slowly crept in, but quickly disappeared as his body rapidly metabolized the alcohol. Only the demon's sake could make him feel drunk, but Ye Ge thoroughly enjoyed the process.

"Don't be so arrogant, human!"

A muffled voice, laced with anger, rang out behind Ye Ge. The wolf demon had reverted to its true form, a gigantic wolf half a person's height and over three meters long. It smashed up the tables and chairs along the way, its eyes bloodshot, and charged at Ye Ge, who had humiliated it. The injury and alcohol had ignited its beastly ferocity. It no longer cared about the consequences; now it only wanted to tear this weak yet arrogant human in front of it to shreds.
