The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

Hououin Kyouma: Ahahaha! Too sweet, assistant! It's not a skip, it's a delete! If it's just a skip, it can't explain why other people can't remember what happened during that time!

Want to go to heaven: time deletion? I see, that's the right metaphor, interesting, time ability actually has this proper way, but it's a pity that I'm no match for Dio!

Sleeping Beauty of Literature: Wow, what the big guys say is so hard to understand.

Pink Moldy Octopus: ...

[After being lifted from the ground, Tohka woke up due to the violent shaking. She looked around weakly and soon realized the current situation.

"Come on, choose."

Kurumi noticed that Tohka was awake, but she didn't care about such a small matter. She just placed the trident across Tohka's neck, ready to execute her on the spot if Shiori made any move.

"..."

Shiori and Tohka looked at each other in silence for a few seconds. Finally, Shiori removed the "Elemental Dragon" and "Ancient Dragon" from the driver without hesitation and canceled the transformation.

Seeing this, Kurumi also threw Tohka on the ground. Since Shiori had already canceled his transformation, with her ability, she could completely eliminate the opponent before he transformed again. There was no need to use hostages anymore.

"Why?"

However, just as Kurumi was about to step forward to take away Shiori's book and sword, Tohka, who was lying on the ground, let out a desperate cry.

"Why are you here, Shiori?"

"I'm here to save you."

Shiori did not lose her composure just because she was forced into a desperate situation. She looked at Tohka on the ground with a smile and had no intention of putting pressure on her. However, such kindness hurt Tohka's heart even more.

"Why did you come to pick someone like me?"

"Because we agreed that you, me, and Origami, the three of us will protect this world together, right? So I will never let anyone fall behind again."

“It’s meaningless!”

Facing Shiori's words, the expression on Tohka's face became even sadder.

"The organization is what I cherish most, and everyone in the organization is my family. I believed so much, but everything I believed in has become a bubble. What on earth have I been fighting for so far!"

Tohka pounded the ground, even drawing blood from her fist.

"...I have lost the meaning of continuing to fight. Don't bother with people like me anymore. Shiori, just go ahead and fight. Go and destroy the Sword of Truth."

"You are talking nonsense..."

Kurumi's expression under the mask became very gloomy. She was about to scold Tohka but was interrupted by Shiori.

"Do you really think so?"

Tohka raised her head, and the smile on Shiori's face disappeared, replaced by an expression that could be called stern and serious. Their eyes met, and those straight eyes made Tohka subconsciously want to dodge, but Shiori's questioning would not let her escape.

"I asked you if you seriously thought that?"

This time it was no longer a gentle whisper. Shiori's words were like thunder, which opened up Tohka's suppressed emotions and made her shout out her true thoughts.

"How can I be serious? How could I possibly want to destroy my own family? I want to correct the mistakes of the organization, but I can't do it! Look at how embarrassed I am now. I can't do anything at all!"

"if that is the case!"

Shiori shouted even louder than Tohka, drawing her attention.

"If one person can't do it, I will accompany you. If two people can't do it, we can bring along Origami-chan, Nanashi-chan, Miku-chan, Yakuya-chan, and Yoshino-chan. Isn't that what companions are for? Let's correct the mistakes of the organization together! We will definitely succeed. The ending of the story is decided by us!"

"Shiori..."

Tohka stared at Shiori blankly, and felt that this blue-haired friend was becoming more and more dazzling.

Kurumi was also a little distracted by the other party's words, but she quickly recovered.

"Nonsense. The organization can't be wrong. All your efforts are in vain. Time is up. Put the book and sword on the ground and retreat."

"Ah."

Shiori looked at Kurumi, slowly squatted down and put down all the books and swords she was holding, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Mana hiding behind a pillar and making gestures to her.

A silent understanding was reached in an instant. Shiori guessed that Mana would take action when Kurumi came to pick up these things, catching the other party off guard.

However, this Kurumi is not only extremely strong but also very cautious. The moment Shiori's hand left the transformation prop, Kurumi moved.

"Time erasure!"

……

"In another world!"

"Oops!?"

Realizing that something was wrong, Shiori immediately wanted to reach out and take back his things, but the next second he found that the things that were so close to him had disappeared and appeared at Kurumi's feet.

Mana, who had transformed into X-Swordsman form, stood between the two of them in confusion, not yet realizing why his position had changed.

"If you still have a trick up your sleeve, Gokawa Shiori. But it's meaningless!"

While Mana was still not fully recovered, Kurumi pulled the trigger three times in a row. Blue energy like waves gathered at the tip of the trident, and three crescent-shaped slashes were released as Kurumi swung the trident.

"not good!"

Realizing that Shiori behind him was still in physical form, Mana had to block the opponent's attack here.

"The most radiant!"

The golden holy light turned into a shield, and Shin's hands held the sword and stalemated with the energy, while shouting at Tohka on the ground.

"Tohka, use your Book of Gates to evacuate!"

"Ok!"

Taking advantage of the gap between the two, Tohka, who had recovered some of her strength, rolled over and took the most powerful "Elemental Dragon" from the book under Kurumi's feet, and then opened the "Book of Gates" in her arms.

The door of the book opened behind Shiori, Kurumi's pupils shrank, she gritted her teeth and interrupted her ultimate move, activating her time-deleting ability again.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

"Time erasure!"

……

"In another world!"

Tohka, who had already had an instinctive reaction to the sound, instantly transformed into the Lion King Wars form. Since she was closest to Kurumi, she would most likely become the opponent's target of attack. However, this time Kurumi's behavior was beyond everyone's expectations.

The black knight appeared behind Shiori and swept the trident in his hand, almost cutting Shiori in half. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the "Ancient Dragon" on the ground suddenly flipped open, and gray-blue bone claws shot out, blocking most of the damage for Shiori, but it still left three deep scars on her back that were visible to the bone.

"Shiori!"

In a hurry, Tohka had an idea and inserted the "Elemental Dragon" in her hand into the drive.

"Overflowing sword! Natural elements! Overflowing~! Carrying elements! Overflowing~!"

Blade's blue body turned back into a translucent elemental state. After understanding the power of this state, Tohka directly turned herself into a stream of water and rushed towards Kurumi.

"useless!"

Kurumi transformed the trident back into holy sword mode and slashed vertically, splitting the water stream in two.

But this was exactly what Tohka wanted. Two streams of water picked up Shiori who was lying on the ground and Mana who was standing beside him, and quickly entered the Gate of Books.

Kurumi wanted to chase after him, but ultimately failed to catch up, as the door of the book closed at the last moment.

"... Phew, never mind. It can't be said that we have no protection."

Kurumi, who was about to explode, took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She picked up "Dragon Knight" and "Dragon of Courage" left on the ground, and looked at the three volumes on her waist that she had confiscated after defeating Tohka.

"Next time, you won't be so lucky."】

UMR: So powerful! This Hengjian is so powerful. It turns out that the time and space abilities are bugs.

Starburst Healing Slash: The last time a group of more than three protagonists attacked together and got beaten so badly was during the King Sword Final Battle, right?

Liu Er: Ancient dragon, the savior!

Detective Neet: In this case, the Lord of Truth already has quite a few fantasy books, including "Jack and the Beanstalk", "Rampage of the Rabbit and Tortoise", "Bremen Rock Band", "Hanserts and Gretel", "Dragonmark Knight", three volumes of Fiery Fire and three volumes of Flowing Water, plus the two books by Smoke and Time Swordsman, so 13 books have been collected, which is only 19 away from the target of 6 books.

Kira: No, I think the strength of the book should also have some impact on the ritual. I think the Lord of Truth will continue to find ways to collect big books like "Dragon of the Evil King", "Ancient Dragon", and "X-Swordsman".

[The South Base was in chaos right now, and no one noticed that in the area that Tohka had discovered earlier, a purple figure passed through the darkness and entered the hidden room.

"Wang Jian?"

Sophia, who was sitting upright, looked at the newcomer and said the name of this Kamen Rider. 】

155: What about me?

[When they returned to the North District base with the seriously injured Shiori, everyone showed surprised expressions.

"What happened?"

Nanashi and Miku reacted the fastest and stepped forward to help Shiori onto the sofa. Looking at the shocking wound on his back, the two realized the identity of the enemy.

"Were these three special scars caused by Heng Jian?"

"Well, I got into a fight with Heng Jian at the South Base, and Shizhi was badly injured trying to save me."

Tohka, who was also in a very embarrassed state, showed a self-blaming expression. She felt that she had accomplished nothing. She boasted that she would find the real enemy, but ended up messing everything up. Not only did she lose a large number of fantasy books, but Shiori almost lost his life.

"Tohka-chan, this isn't your fault. Shiori-chan has always been this aggressive. I'll go get the medicine box."

Yoshino patted the shoulder of Tohka who was sitting dejectedly on the chair, turned around and wanted to get the medical kit, but was stopped by Mana.

"The damage caused directly by the holy sword is difficult to be cured by ordinary medical means. Leave it to me. I will definitely make my sister alive and well again!"

Mana walked forward and touched Shiori's back, a soft light emanating from her hand.

“I’ve felt this way before.”

Nanashi stroked his chin and looked at Mana who was being treated.

"You are really a convenient guy."

"Well, such a magical holy sword, I really want to study it carefully."

Miku looked at Mana's back and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

"Forget it. Now is not the time to worry about this. I'll go outside and check. The North District base is without Sophia now, so the barrier cannot be opened. The swordsmen from the South District may invade here at any time."

Nanashi carried the greatsword on his back and walked towards the door, but was stunned the moment it opened.
