Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

Shinichi also noticed that there was something wrong with Kiba's attitude, so he didn't act rashly. After the two of them remained silent for a while in the rain, Kiba spoke up to break the silence.

"Shinichi-kun...can you tell me what you fight for?"

Chapter 58: Why Fight

"Shinichi-kun, what are you fighting for now?"

Shinichi tilted his head at Kiba's question. Why are you asking this? Didn't we already know why we were fighting?

Shinichi spread his hands and responded generously: "To kill monsters to make money, what else can it be?"

"But, Shinichi-kun, do you still need it now? You have so much wealth that you can't spend it all, right? Your sister's disease has been successfully contained by finding the root cause. She only needs to be injected with a deactivator regularly. She can live a healthy life, even a very long life.

Shinichi-kun, if you really want to make money, then haven't you achieved your goal? Then why do you continue to fight? Why do you continue to transform into a knight? "

"Because you can't survive without fighting." No, this question is too typical. Shinichi couldn't help but open his mouth to continue the joke.

"Huh?" This answer made Kiba stunned, and she quickly asked: "What do you mean? Why can't you survive?"

"You don't understand, right? Actually, I don't really understand either."

"..."

Kiba was silenced by the dryness, and asked seriously, but Shinichi didn't seem to take these inquiries seriously at all.

She couldn't help but feel a little angry, so she raised the cross sword in her hand, rushed forward and started chopping.

"!" Shinichi quickly blocked with his knife, saying frivolously: "Well, it's just a joke. Don't always ask such gloomy questions on such a rainy day. What's wrong with a pure battle without any emotions attached?"

"So, you want to escape? Escape from these things you have to think about? Have you ever thought about the cost of fighting?"

Kiba's attack was much more fierce than at the beginning. The cross sword in her hand was so flexible that it seemed to have life. She attacked Shinichi from all kinds of tricky and fierce angles, and the attack speed was so fast that it was hard to cope.

Pick, chop, lift, stab and split; the clusters of flashing yellow light draw out strips of lingering fluorescent bands in the night rain as the moves change. It is deadly, beautiful and dazzling.

What's even more deadly is Kiba's flexible switching between sword and gun. You think the next move is to chop down, but in fact she is shooting in the face. You think she is going to shoot continuously, but in fact she just flips her wrist and stabs with the lightsaber.

Even if the sword and shield were used together, they could not withstand Kiba's one-handed use of the cross spear and sword. After just a few rounds, Shinichi's armor had been hit in several places and sparks were emitted.

"Shinichi-kun, do you remember how many times I hit you with my sword just now?"

"Hiss..." Shinichi rubbed the smoking armor on his body and shook his head: "Too many, I can't even count them... Miss Kiba, your swordsmanship really opened my eyes..."

This time, Kiba's tone was no longer gentle, but became cold: "Is this an eye-opener? Shinichi-kun...if your ability is only this far, then I can only say, don't fight anymore, it's shameful."

"Forehead……"

Kiba raised his lightsaber, pointed it at Shinichi's heart and said, "Just now, there were a total of 18 times, and I hit you times... This is when I used less force. If I wanted to, I could have pierced your body any time.

Even... your heart, your brain... this is the price of fighting. Shinichi-kun, no matter when, fighting to the end will only have one outcome, not survival, but death.

Shinichi, your mission has been completed, whether you want to make money, take care of your sister, or even if you want to help us out of kindness, your mission has been completed.

You don't have to continue fighting. You have seen the power of Caesar's Belt, which is stronger than your Dragon Fang. I will wear the belt and take over your job.

And you, if you like the house above the coffee shop, I will let you live there forever. Occasionally, you can come down to have a cup of coffee, chat with Ali, argue with Li, and enjoy the leisure time that you have never enjoyed in more than 20 years.

You don't have to worry about your identity being exposed. With Lidou's network technology, no one knows who is fighting behind Ryuga's mask. Aiyi, you don't have to worry either. I have Ali and I here. Even if Sanada Masamune comes, he can't hurt her.

Shinichi-kun, you don't need to fight anymore. Moreover, you didn't need to join this fight between monsters from the beginning. You can just leave and treat this period of fighting as a memory to cherish in the future, and enjoy the rest of your life peacefully."

As Kiba spoke further, his tone gradually changed from cold at the beginning to one of persuasion to Shinichi, persuading him to give up the fight, persuading him not to put himself in danger.

Shinichi took a deep breath and responded with some longing: "Ah, a peaceful life, worry-free days, and the company of beautiful women, wow, wow, it's so nice just thinking about it~"

Kiba quickly asked, "So Shinichi-kun, you are..."

“Check in at Kuotouwa Road!”

"Nani!?"

Shinichi waved his hands and said, "I understand your thoughts, Ms. Kiba. We should achieve the most perfect ending with the least impact and the least sacrifice...

Ha~ Miss Kiba, your thoughts still make me want to laugh~ Everything you said, in my opinion, is just an illusion that cannot stand up to scrutiny. Peace? When I have this power, fighting is my way of survival. Only when I hold the force in my own hands can I be truly happy. "

As he said that, Shinichi took out another card and placed it on the summoner, but did not activate it immediately.

Kiba was silent for a while, then said, "If you are worried that you will feel unsafe if you rely on me, then don't worry, I will not ask you to hand over the belt, Shinichi-kun. I will not take it away from you if it is yours."

"The belt is in my hand. Whether I fight or not is my own business. Ms. Kiba, you have no right to restrict my behavior. What I hate most is someone restricting my actions."

"Then you have to tell me why you are fighting! What is the purpose of your fighting!"

“Why do you have to ask for this answer?”

"Why? Because I'm afraid that you'll fight without a purpose! Be obsessed with power! And then make an irreparable mistake!"

Kiba almost shouted these words, and when he mentioned this, his tone became more serious and solemn than ever before, and even Shinichi felt that he could no longer make jokes.

He scratched his head and sighed: "Ha~ What are you pursuing? I'm too lazy to talk about upholding justice and eliminating evil. Anyway, you don't believe it, Miss Kiba~"

Unexpectedly, Kiba shook his head and said, "No...if you really say that, I believe it."

"You think so highly of me?"

"Shinichi-kun, it's not that I think highly of you, it's that you think lowly of yourself."

"... Maybe? But I definitely don't believe it. After all, justice is too empty. I don't like empty things. I prefer practical things... For example, money, material things, power, or... death and destruction.

The purpose of my fighting is very simple. At the beginning, I was short of money, so I killed monsters to earn money. When I found that I was not strong enough, I killed monsters to become stronger. Now, I find that I have been involved in bigger troubles, so I don’t need any empty slogans to gild myself.

I have only one goal in fighting, and that is to destroy and eliminate all people and things that can threaten me, and bring fear and death to them. Only when they completely disappear from this world can I sleep like a baby.

Hmm... looking at it this way, the purpose of my fighting is actually a sense of security. Fighting can make me feel at ease, wealth can make me feel at ease, becoming stronger can make me feel at ease, and destroying the enemy can make me feel at ease.

Not only do I want to become stronger, I also want Ai to become stronger, strong enough to destroy the enemy like me, or even stronger than me, because this will make me feel at ease. The power and the initiative of fighting must be held in our hands. It would be foolish to give it to anyone else. "

"..." Kiba fell silent, and his tone softened a little, and he said: "Is that so... It seems that you don't trust others very much, Shinichi-kun. If you believe in yourself so much, you will suffer."

"No, Ms. Kiba, this is not a matter of trust or not. Over-trusting anyone is foolish, even trusting yourself. Ms. Kiba, don't you realize that between the two of us, the one who really trusts himself too much is actually someone else?"

"Hmm?" Kiba was slightly stunned.

Shinichi continued, "Ms. Kiba, I believe in myself because I know that the only person I can truly rely on in this world is myself. However, even if this is the case, no matter how strong one person is, he or she cannot defeat a group.

When you need to find teammates, find them; when you need to join a team, join it. No matter how strong your personal abilities are, there will always be situations that you cannot handle.

So, what does a truly overconfident person look like? He thinks he can solve all difficulties by himself, and even asks his teammates to give up forming a team. He holds an unrealistic ideal and thinks that what he does is for the good of others, and then he wants to take on all the difficulties regardless of whether he can solve them or not...

There is definitely one of us, guess who it is?"

Shinichi's question left Kiba speechless, and his grip on the sword became unstable.

And does that just end there?

Ha, how is that possible! But Shinichi is the worst at talking nonsense. The only thing he is best at is beating!

"Besides..." Shinichi closed the summoner that had been holding the card for a long time and reminded: "Ms. Kiba, when did you have the illusion that your Caesar is stronger than my Dragon Fang?"

"Fire vent!"

"boom!!!"

In an instant, a raging purple-black flame first ignited from Longya's head, and then quickly spread to the entire outer armor.

Longya's originally well-proportioned and slender body underwent obvious changes, becoming extremely strong. A terrifying heat wave burst out, instantly evaporating the surrounding accumulated water caused by the heavy rain. Even the raindrops were directly vaporized in the air due to the high temperature.

"What's happening here!"

Lidou looked at Longya, whose stats were soaring and his entire body was blazing with flames, in disbelief. What on earth is this Pava!?

"This……"

Kiba looked at Shinichi in surprise, who was now full of oppression. His relaxed demeanor was gone, and he was now more cautious... and hesitant.

Shinichi, with a flaming head, raised his two thumbs and said, "Ms. Kiba, come on, round two."

Chapter 59: Differences in Attack and Defense

Burning Power (SSR): After use, it enters an unlimited burning form, the speed attribute is reduced, the endurance and strength attributes are greatly improved, and the attack has a burning effect, and the power of boxing skills is increased by 200%.

This is the SSR card that Shinichi obtained after defeating the Cancer Monster.

Good news: It didn’t go crooked this time.

The bad news: Still no restrictions.

However, although it is not what Shinichi wants most, it is still a very practical card. In Shinichi's eyes, this card represents two words: cook.

The value of the chef form should be self-evident, right? The famous light giant transformer Daiko once said: "Wouldn't it be better to use the red form at the beginning?"

Using this card means giving up all operations, turning thousands of tactics into reckless ones, and relying on absolute strength to suppress.

Skill? Speed? It doesn't exist! Look at me, I can defeat you with my strength!

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

Shinichi, who entered the burning state, turned into a reckless man and rushed towards Kiba. Kiba did not dare to be negligent. He took the cross gun in one hand and the mobile phone in the other and started shooting at Shinichi.

This time, Shinichi didn't dodge. The beam attack caused sparks on his body. He took all the damage and charged towards Kiba mindlessly like a bull.

This unreasonable style of play that relied on high health and defense made it impossible for Muba to interfere with long-range attacks. He could only avoid the attack and start moving around.

As he walked, Kiba exclaimed, "Shinichi-kun... you really surprise me... you actually have such a strong power. Have you been hiding your abilities, or are you getting stronger?"

Shinichi chased after the moving Kiba and said, "Of course I'm getting stronger. Didn't I say that? Only when I become stronger can I feel at ease. But you, Ms. Kiba, surprise me more."

"Oh? What's surprising?"

"I'm surprised that you've been fighting for so many years, but your thoughts are still so naive? You hope that you can do everything to the best of your ability without any sacrifice. You know what? To have such thoughts is either pure stupidity or too arrogant of yourself."

"...Stop talking! Shinichi-kun, I'm doing this for your own good. There's no need for you to get involved in this dispute!"

It seemed that Shinichi's words once again caused Kiba to react, and he actually gave up his more advantageous speed and chose to fight with Shinichi.

"Oh!"

With a crisp sound of weapons striking each other, the dragon saber and the beam sword collided again, creating dazzling sparks, and this time, the momentum of attack and defense was different.

With the added power of burning, Shinichi's saber was more powerful and domineering than before! It suppressed Kiba's beam sword with great force, making it impossible for him to use the cross sword to counterattack as flexibly as before.

Shinichi looked at the suppressed Kiba and said coldly, "What's wrong, Ms. Kiba? Fight back. Aren't you confident that your power can solve all the troubles? Aren't you confident that your power can protect your teammates?

How come you are at a disadvantage in the battle with your teammates now? If you don't even have the ability to defeat me, how can you be so confident that you are qualified to make the decision to give up the fight for me! "

Not sure if it was because of the suppression of power or because of the blow from the words, Kiba chose not to answer Shinichi's question.

"Ahhh!!!"

With a shout, Kiba used all her strength to push away Shinichi's saber, and taking advantage of this gap, she flipped open the cell phone on her belt and punched in a password.

"Exceed charge!"

With a command, a dazzling beam of energy gathered in Kiba's right hand through the photon channel at one end and was transmitted into the cross sword. After being charged, the beam of energy from the cross sword became thicker and more powerful, rushing towards Shinichi!

"Then watch me defeat you! Shinichi-kun!"

"What a beautiful thought!"

Shinichi roared, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, crossing his hands and blocking the way, trying to withstand the huge lightsaber that was coming down on his head!

"Ahhhh!!!!"

During the resistance, the flames all over Shinichi's body became more and more vigorous as he roared, and the state of the fire also changed as it became more and more vigorous, from burning at the beginning to erupting like a blowtorch.

The temperature was also rising alarmingly, and the scorching heat of the fire was too much for Kiba to bear even though he was a knight. He chose to give up the stalemate, retracted the lightsaber in his hand, and once again distanced himself.

Shinichi, with flames erupting from his body, felt this increasingly powerful force, and his emotions couldn't help but rise.

He clapped his fists and shouted excitedly: "Ohhh! This is the power! I feel like I'm invincible now!"

Kiba, who had escaped from the range, also felt the terrifying power of Shinichi and could not confront him head-on, but her rich combat experience allowed her to quickly find a way out.

"There is no such thing as invincibility, Shinichi-kun. Fighting to the end will always have only one outcome: failure."

As he said that, Kiba opened his phone again and punched in a password.

"Exceed charge!"

Another command, the energy beam was once again transmitted into the cross accessory, but this time the transmitted energy was concentrated at the muzzle. Kiba aimed the muzzle at Shinichi, quickly accumulated energy, and fired directly!

A bright yellow electric drill shot out from the muzzle and headed straight towards Zhenyi. This time Zhenyi did not continue to defend himself. He now wanted to use this tremendous force to overwhelm everything!

He threw away the sword and shield and drew a new card from the card box.
