"Humph."

Kotori did not show any surprise at Shiori's transformation. To her, who had already made up her mind, everything was just an insignificant thing on her journey to pursue the truth... at least that's what she told herself.

"The Evil King's ultimate move!"

The early bird catches the worm. When Shiori reached a certain distance, Kotori, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, directly swung out a half-moon slash.

However, that powerful dark energy could not leave any trace on the Dragon Knight's armor. Shiori took the attack head-on without dodging or evading, and continued to walk towards Kotori without even stopping.

"what?"

"There's nothing to be surprised about. After all these battles, we're not the only ones who are exhausted. You've become weaker, Kotori-san."

"Weaker, huh, maybe."

Kotori tightened her grip on the dark sword Yue An a little more. She did not deny Shiori's statement, but gritted her teeth and swung two swords at Shiori who was already close to her.

Sparks flew, but Shiori still did not dodge. The powerful defense of the Dragon Knight and Kotori's slashes weakened due to fatigue made it impossible for the Dark Holy Sword to break Shiori's armor.

Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Shiori took advantage of Kotori's surprise and swung his sword. The powerful flaming blow landed on Kotori's right shoulder, knocking her back several steps.

"Give up your defeat, Sister Kotori. Hand over the Dark Sword Yue An to me. I will apologize to everyone with you. I will also shoulder the responsibility and atone for the mistakes you made with you."

"Atonement?"

As if a switch was turned on, Kotori sneered, black energy surged on her body, and she began to swing her sword at Shiori desperately. The originally weak blows became heavier and heavier, causing Shiori, who originally felt nothing, to begin to feel the pain.

As a last resort, Shiori raised his left hand, the dragon-patterned amplifier on his caged hand flashed, and a wall of fire rose up, forcibly separating the two.

Taking advantage of the moment when Kotori stopped because of the heat of the fire wall, Shiori directly took out the "Dragon of Courage" and stuffed it into the quietly opened dragon mouth of the Dragon Pattern Amplifier.

"One Reading! Dragon of Courage!"

He raised his hand towards Kotori, and fire burst out from the dragon's mouth.

"Flame Spicy!"

"Well!"

Hit head-on by the blazing flames, the careless Kotori was blown away before she even had time to use her special move, but her strong will did not allow her to fall here. While flying backwards in the air, she took a picture of the page of "The Evil King Dragon". A giant purple dragon flew out, carrying its master towards the huge book door that was slowly opening in the sky.

"This girl wants to get to the catalog of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence. Shiori must stop her!"

Miku's reminder made Shiori react. She pressed the pages of "Dragon Knight" three times in a row, and passionate and sacred music sounded, and a huge red dragon flew over from the other side of the sky.

Just as Shiori was about to leap onto the dragon's back, a familiar voice stopped her in her tracks.

"Shiori, go ahead!"

Shiori turned around and saw a golden sword and some books falling into her arms.

Not far away, Origami, who was supported by Yoshino, looked at her with a smile.

"Please fight for me too. We must protect the world. It's a promise."

"……it is good!"

Shiori rides on the red dragon and leaves, and everything will come to an end on the road of pursuing the truth. 】

058: Lion King War

[After Shiori chased Kotori into the unfolded giant book, the changes in the world did not stop.

In the real world, humans who witnessed the huge ritual magic circle gradually began to see some phantoms of the fantasy world, and this ritual magic circle was still expanding outward.

"If this continues, the real world will eventually become completely synchronized with the fantasy world. We must destroy those light pillars."

Mijiu looked at the scene from afar, showing an anxious look.

"But we've tried before, and even my three volumes couldn't destroy the light column."

Tohka paced back and forth, clearly upset by the situation.

"So we can only watch?"

Nana Sins's greatsword slammed to the ground. As the strongest in the Northern District of the Sword of Truth, she was obviously very dissatisfied with the current situation that she could only rely on a newcomer to fight.

"No, ahem, there is a way. If I use this, I should be able to gain the power to destroy the light column."

Origami, supported by Yoshino, walked forward. She was not idle when other Kamen Riders were fighting. Instead, she took Yoshino back to the northern base and retrieved crucial props.

The swordsmen looked closely and saw that it was a large blue book with a picture of a mechanical lion in armor on the cover.

"Ah! Is it finished already?"

Miku's face lit up with delight. This was a brand new book that she had created by extracting the technology from "The Legend of King Arthur" and the power of many fantasy harnessing books. Theoretically, it had a power that was no less than that of "Dragonmark Knight".

Origami nodded to Miku and then threw the book to Tohka.

"Since this book is about lions, it would be most appropriate for you to use it, Tohka."

"Me? Is it really okay for me to use such an important thing? Let the strongest Miss Nanashi use it..."

Tohka was a little at a loss and turned to look at Nanashi, but the other party just thought about it for a moment and shook his head.

"Tohka, you are my child who grew up under my watch. I believe you can make good use of this book. We old guys can't always hold on to the strongest position."

"I'm not old. Even if I return to the entertainment industry now, I'm still everyone's idol! Besides, you, a perennial loli, are not worthy of calling yourself an old guy!"

Seeing Nanashi pointed at herself when she introduced herself, Miku immediately complained fiercely.

"What! I'm not a loli! Besides, there's no such thing as a 30-year-old idol in this world!"

"I'm not even 30 yet! I still have 10 months until I turn 30!"

The two veteran swordsmen began to wrestle each other with their foreheads touching, and all the young people couldn't help laughing.

Origami smiled and then revealed a somewhat lonely expression, but quickly restrained herself while no one noticed, and coughed lightly a few times to attract everyone's attention.

"Just use it well. You made a promise with me and Shiori, so you can do it."

"Yeah! Leave it to me!"

Tohka solemnly took the large book from Origami, then looked towards the six pillars of light standing between heaven and earth, took a deep breath and prepared to transform.

But the appearance of three people interrupted her.

"Is this really okay? Is it okay if Miss Gokawa Shiori doesn't come back?"

The handsome young man with black hair and golden eyes, the foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes, and the violent woman with white hair and purple eyes, the three cadres of Megiddo appeared in front of the swordsmen again in the form of humans.

"What do you mean, Stellius?"

Miku frowned and drew her sword, pointing it at the three people.

"It means exactly what it says. Once the ritual is interrupted, the door to the book will be completely closed, and neither the King Sword nor the Holy Blade will be able to return."

"..."

After hearing Stellius' explanation, the swordsmen fell silent and began to hesitate for a moment, but at this moment, the most unexpected person stood up.

"Will not!"

"Ok?"

Stellius looked over curiously, and the person who spoke was not even a swordsman, but Yoshino who had always acted with Shiori.

"Cheer up, Tohka-chan, didn't we make an appointment with Shiori-chan? If we have an appointment, there must be no problem! Since I have known Shiori-chan, she has never broken her promise. She will definitely do what she promised. Shiori-chan is such a person! So we just need to do our best to do what we should do."

"Ms. Yoshino..."

Tohka stared at Yoshino blankly, and the scenes of her interactions with new friends over the past two months emerged in her mind, and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

"You're right! We have an appointment!"

The swordsmen who appeared before also came out with smiling faces.

"Really? I never thought that there would be a day when I would be encouraged by a little girl. It's so embarrassing."

"Humph, I'm just a little tired and I'm taking a rest!"

"It's pretty good as a support for the upcoming performance."

"Ahem, Yoshino, thank you for encouraging everyone."

The swordsmen took out their fantasy driving books one after another. Seeing this, Stellius shook his head in disappointment.

"It seems that our negotiations have failed. What a pity!"

After speaking, the three cadres once again showed their Megiddo forms.

"We have nothing to discuss with Megiddo, so please take Origami and rest quickly, Ms. Yoshino. Leave everything to us from now on."

Tohka took a step forward, leaving Yoshino and Origami behind her, and opened the big blue book.

"King Lion Daisenki! This unnatural blue mane clad in armor roars from the throne!"

After inserting "Lion Wars" into the middle position of the drive, Tohka closed her eyes slightly and then opened them again, her eyes full of awareness.

"I will do what I can! I swear by the sword of water that I will protect the balance of the world! Transform!"

"Draw the sword in the flowing water! Rhyme! Ride! Knight!"

The huge blue book behind him unfolded to both sides, and a lion covered in armor roared out, transforming into several sword armors and assembling them on Tohka's body.

"The Beast King is coming! Upgrade your guns! Lion King Wars! In short, this is a warrior of artillery fire!"

After the high-tech armor was assembled, two small turrets were deployed on both sides of the shoulders, and the compound eyes, like high-tech goggles, lit up with blue light. 】

Pure Love God of War: Oh, "Dragon Knight" is a retro knight armor, and "Lion King Wars" focuses on high-tech knights with enhanced long-range means! It really makes me feel inspired.

Kyouma Hououin: This is a work with a clear personal style. By the way, the creator of this book, Miku, is also a knight with a strong sense of technology, so her works also use the same technological style.

Little Eggplant: I see. No wonder these two books, which are clearly written by the same power of "King Arthur's Legend", have such different styles. The theme of "Knights Marked by the Dragon" from Avalon is indeed the knight's armor and red dragon, which fits the background of King Arthur, while "The Lion King's Chronicle" was created by modern humans, so elements of technology and guns were added!

059: Thunderous sound

[In the real world, Tohka and others started a battle with Stellius to destroy the light column.

In the inner passage of the Gate of Books, Kotori and Shiori rode on giant dragons and flew through all kinds of bizarre scenery. Finally, above a forest, Shiori caught up with Kotori.

"One Reading! Arthurian legend! Flame Spicy!"

Using the dragon pattern amplifier to read "The Legend of King Arthur", Shiori swung the sword in her hand, and a giant blue sword shadow emerged, slashing towards Kotori in sync with her movements.
