The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

During the days when Fujimaru Ritsuka and Emiya Shirou were missing, things were not all smooth sailing for Mashu either.

The departure of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others not only means that their own safety may be in danger, but the large number of Heroic Eye Souls taken away by them also means that Mashu's combat power is seriously insufficient.

What's even more fatal is that because Himiko's eye soul was also taken away, Mashu and others' avoidance of Kuaiji Zero's future prediction finally had a flaw.

Fortunately, the First Emperor did not send the Kuaiji Zero to annihilate the remnants of Chaldea.

Putting aside the fact that he was temporarily unable to get away due to his analysis and research on Akebab, what was more important was that the divine tool, which had recently become unusually active, had suddenly become quiet again in the past few days, and even had a tendency to turn back into the big ball of light it was before.

This made the First Emperor a little anxious for a moment, and he had no intention of paying attention to the "trivial matters" of Chaldea.

Of course, although the First Emperor is not in a hurry, Shinji Matou, who had previously allowed Mashu to escape, still cares a lot about Chaldea.

After learning that Kuaiji Zero had calculated the location of Chaldea's base, he immediately came over to inquire in person, and then it took a lot of effort to get the information out of this inflexible robot.

So, today, the Chaldea base was attacked by a group of eye demons including the Azure Dragon Sword Eye Demon.

It soon evolved into the tragic situation we have today.

The cave that originally served as a stronghold has now turned into a ravine that is hundreds of meters long. Under the flat cross-section, one can even faintly see the residual magic power surging.

"bass--"

The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the ravine.

In a place where a person could barely stand, Mashu, who had transformed into basic form, struggled to use the Eye Gun Saber to block the Blue Dragon Blade Eye Demon's random slashes, but her hard power was obviously inferior to that of the opponent, so Mashu retreated dozens of steps before she was able to relieve the huge force and stop.

Above the two of them, a crimson beam of magic light roared towards the rock wall on the other side, and was then easily blocked by a white wall of light that suddenly appeared.

In the woods not far away, a thick lavender fog spread silently. Two nimble figures were fighting in it, but the white side was obviously in a disadvantage.

"Whoosh..."

The continuous fighting had already made Mashu breathless. The disadvantages in the three battlefields and the strength of the enemy in front of her forced her to bear tremendous psychological pressure.

But she just silently clenched her trembling hands and held the weapon tightly in her hands, without any intention of giving up.

——How could I lose here? I swore to hold on until the seniors return!

“Good fighting spirit.”

Sensing the fierce will of the girl, the Azure Dragon Blade-Eye Demon performed a few sword moves to show his appreciation, but did not launch a pursuit while the other party was adjusting her breathing.

However, as he looked at Mashu, who had remained in the same form, a hint of suspicion and confusion flashed in his blue eyes.

"Why don't you use the two postures you used that day, young lady? You should know that I am not an opponent that can be defeated by hiding my weaknesses..."

When he was halfway through his speech, the Azure Dragon Blade-Eyed Demon suddenly paused, and then he figured out the key.

"No, the girl is simple-minded and not the kind of person who would hide her shortcomings. It seems that you have other hidden motives."

After hearing what the Blue Dragon Blade-Eye Demon said, her weak spot in her heart was stimulated. Mashu's hand holding the weapon unconsciously tightened a little more. Perhaps it was to hide her own weakness, or perhaps it was because she was quick-witted. She immediately thought of another way to fight in a flash.

"Roar--"

A roar came from behind Mashu, and a pair of green claws tore open the space. The Ghost Captain and the Spirit Rider's motorcycles rushed out of the crack in time and space and combined into an Iguana Raider beside Mashu.

Since the power of the spirit rider alone cannot match that of the Azure Dragon Blade-Eyed Demon, it is better to use the power of the giant mount to make up for the weakness in strength.

Mashu finished thinking in an instant and jumped up, riding the Iguana Raider and biting towards the Blue Dragon Sword-Eye Demon.

However, even when facing a bloody mouth that could swallow him in one bite, the Green Dragon Blade-Eyed Demon showed no fear. He calmly switched to holding the knife with both hands and swung it head-on to meet the attack.

The blade carrying the image of a swimming dragon accurately chopped the metal shell of the mechanical beast, making a deafening sound.

In the clash of the two forces, the iguana attacker had more horsepower in the end, pushing the Azure Dragon Blade-Eye Demon several meters behind it, plowing two traces on the ground.

But facing such a situation, the Azure Dragon Blade-Eye Demon, who was at a disadvantage in strength, was still relaxed and even couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"It has enough strength, but its movements are too clumsy. It is just a beast with nothing but strength..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Azure Dragon Blade-Eyed Demon suddenly disappeared.

Before the iguana pursuer could react, the Azure Dragon Blade-Eye Demon's figure changed like lightning and instantly came to the side of the mechanical lizard.

He chopped down with his sword, directly chopping off the metal head of the iguana pursuer. With a sharp metallic sound, a large hole was cut open on the lizard's head by Guan Gong.

Just when the iguana pursuer's head was about to be chopped off, Mash reacted at the last moment, raised the eye gun saber in pistol form and fired continuously to force the opponent back.

"Isn't this okay?"

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Mashu's forehead, and Romani's voice sounded in her ears at the right time.

"That's enough, Mashu. Now that we don't have an eye soul, it's still too much for us to defeat this eye demon. Let's retreat here first. After Fujimaru-kun comes back, we will regroup..."

——Wait for the senior to come back?

Romani's words echoed in Mash's mind, almost causing her to mutter out loud.

Yes, that's the reality.

Even if I use all my tricks now, I can never be the opponent of the Azure Dragon Blade-Eye Demon. Whether in terms of hard power or equipment, I am at an absolute disadvantage at this moment.

There is no way around it. After all, I can't even switch forms now, right?

She could only wait for the senior to come back, and then she could turn the tide once again...

——Isn’t it?

No! It shouldn't be like this! It's not like this at all!

The girl's eyes began to waver, and she couldn't help but ask herself.

If I run away here now, then why did I become a Kamen Rider?

——If you have to rely on your seniors for everything, how can you become their strength?

His thoughts began to become clearer because of these self-questions, and the tension and fear of being suppressed by a powerful enemy no longer obscured his memory.

In a trance, a memory that happened in the Great Qin singularity emerged in Mashu's mind——

The night before the Chaldean group set out to look for Tousaka Sakura.

The night was deep, the stars were shining, and the moonlight shone on the stronghold that had not yet turned into ruins, illuminating two figures through the cave entrance.

At this time, Mashu was standing quietly beside Fujimaru Ritsuka. Her figure seemed a little thin in the moonlight, but Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that she had an unquestionable stubbornness.

"senior."

Mashu stared at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and spoke firmly as a crowd of onlookers in red sweatshirts appeared nearby.

"Please give me the Lion King's Soul!"

"Varied!?"

"嘁~"

Ignoring the disappointment of a certain ghost, Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely shocked by Mash's request, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

As someone who has personally paid the price for this kind of power, Fujimaru Ritsuka naturally knows clearly the danger of the Lion King Soul.

But just as she was about to refute, Chen Shi, who had finished his prank, started writing with fire again, interrupting what Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to say.

——Well, in fact, in my opinion, this is the right choice. In fact, it was me who suggested Mashu to ask you for the Lion King Soul.

"So it's you?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned and was about to reach out and give Chen Shi a slap.

However, the latter dodged nimbly and hid behind Mashu.

——Calm down, calm down, listen to me first! Mashu's situation is different from yours, she is an excellent child that I have trained as a spirit rider since she was a child. In theory, she can perfectly adapt to the power of any heroic spirit, both physically and mentally, and the consumption will be much less than yours.

——And she didn't die. The vitality she spent could be restored through rest and eating.

Having said this, Chen Shi nodded as if it was a matter of fact.

——This is also one of the reasons why I chose Mashu as the first candidate for the Spirit Rider. No matter from which angle you consider it, Mashu is very suitable for the Spirit Rider! Well, unlike you who changed your career halfway!

“No need to repeat it twice!”

Fujimaru Ritsuka glared at Chen Shi with some dissatisfaction, and then looked at Mashu with still concern.

"Is it really okay, Mashu? Even if it can be restored, the loss of vitality is not pleasant. And my brother also said that it is only theoretically possible. If there is any problem..."

"But that's better than doing nothing, isn't it?"

Mashu looked into Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"Senior, I want to be your strength, but my current level is not enough."

She knew that Fujimaru Ritsuka cared about her and didn't want her to take any risks, but she also had the same feeling. She had already made up her mind when she chose to transform into a spirit rider. Even if Chen Shi's theory was not valid, for Fujimaru Ritsuka and everyone, she, Mashu, was willing to pay the price.

"I have seen the power of fighting spirits, so in order to catch up with my predecessors, I must go one step further."

As she spoke, Mashu grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand.

"Senior, please lend me the Lion King Soul. Mash Kyrielight wants to be the strongest shield by your side!"

"This is really..."

When Fujimaru Ritsuka heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved.

She looked at Mashu, her delicate nose felt a little sour, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

——I really do have a super reliable junior.

——Is this the feeling that the old man had when he looked at me back then?

She knew that Mashu sincerely hoped that she could become stronger and provide her with more help in this dangerous world.

In this case, I have to work harder and not let this lovely back bear all the pressure and danger alone.

She smiled and handed the Lion King Soul to Mashu.

……

Memories that seem long are often just a passing moment in reality.

At the moment when the Blue Dragon Sword-Eye Demon was about to attack again, Mashu's originally wavering eyes became firm again.

"Doctor, you are wrong about one thing."

"what?"

As Romani's expression changed from confusion to shock, Mashu took out the eye soul entrusted to her by her predecessor from behind her.

"As for the Heroic Eye Soul, I have another one here!"
