Kaiqi was not in a hurry to kill Kitaoka directly, but with a hint of joking and pleasure, he tortured Kitaoka, who only had one defensive card left.

"Hahaha~ Tiebing, do you know what your helpless look holding the shield reminds me of? Hahaha! It reminds me of those naked women I met when I was a whore! Your miserable look now really makes me excited and want to pull the flag!"

"Tsk... scum..." Kitaoka was extremely angry at Tojo Ken's dirty words, but she had used up all her attack skills and had no way to fight back. She had to admit... she was indeed too careless this time.

"Strike vent!"

Just when Kitaoka was secretly regretting, Tojo used his skill card, and a piece of rhino horn was assembled in Tojo's hand. He touched the horn, felt the weight of the weapon, and with a fanatical smile, he directly made a powerful flying strike at Kitaoka's shield.

"Ahhh!"

Kitaoka, who had already consumed too much energy, was unable to withstand this heavy blow and was directly knocked away. The shield in his hand also flew aside because it slipped out of his hand.

"Hahahaha! Tiebing, look at how you look now! Lying on the ground as weak as a woman, oh, you are a woman! Hahaha! You look so good now ~ Hahaha ~"

Tojo's laughter became more and more outrageous, and he walked towards Kitaoka with an extremely proud step, as if he didn't recognize any relatives. Facing Kitaoka who had no means of counterattack at this moment, Tojo had already begun to think about what kind of ultimate insult he should bring to her later!

However, Tojo's fantasy ends here.

"Snapped!!!"

A long whip came through the air and hit Tojo's chest armor directly, knocking him back. Along with the long whip came Takano, who transformed into a sea ray knight.

"Ms. Kitaoka! Are you okay?"

Kitaoka struggled to sit up, shook his head in disappointment and said, "Ah... It's okay... It's just that I have used up all my cards... I was too careless in this battle."

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. Miss Kitaoka, there is no need to belittle yourself because of a single failure." Takano comforted Kitaoka, and then looked cautiously at Tojo in front of him.

After being whipped by Takano, Tojo rubbed his chest and snorted, "Huh, that's it? Boxers. Who was I at that time? It turned out to be Sea Manta, you're a weakling. Not to mention your weak stats, among all the knight skills, Sea Manta's Copy Advent is the most useless!"

"There are no weak knight skills, only weak knight transformers, Da Ya... No, now it should be Kai Qi. People who are overly obsessed with power will not go far."

"Stop talking to me in a mystical way. In a knight war, power is everything! I am happy to be obsessed with power!" As he said that, Tojo commanded his contracted beasts to attack the manta ray, while he continued to attack Kitaoka.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield changed slightly. The addition of the manta ray reduced Kitaoka's pressure sharply. Although he had no cards to attack, he could still hold on for the time being by relying on his flexible movement.

On Takano's side, he also fought back and forth with the contracted beast. As a knight whose stats were not very good, Takano made up for his shortcomings with technology. He used the long whip to perfection, and was always able to produce good effects on the bulky contracted beast.

Seeing that Kitaoka was still struggling, Takano knew that it would be disadvantageous to the situation if they continued to fight like this, so he took out the Final Advent from the card box.

"Final vent!"

Following the call of the summoner, Takano's contracted beast, the Evil Stealth Ray, flew out of the mirror and swam towards Takano.

Seeing this, Tojo snorted again and took out another card from the card box.

"Confine vent!"

As the second restricted reward came into effect, Gao Ye's final descent suffered the same ending as Tiebing, and the contracted beast died halfway through the swim.

"Nani!?"

At this, Takano and Kitaoka were shocked again, while Tojo shook his finger at them proudly: "Who gave you the illusion that I limited the reward to only one? Hahaha! So what if there are two of us?

Now, the final advents of both of you have become a decoration! Can you guess whether there is a third restricted advent in my card box? "

Kitaoka directly expressed his incomprehension: "This is too much! How many cards with this kind of bug can there be?"

"That's right~ Haha, now I am undoubtedly the strongest knight. With the restricted reward in hand, I am invincible!" Tojo said, and took another card from the card box. "Now, the game should be over. Tiebing, you will be my first victory on the throne of the winner, which is great!"

"Final vent!"

The contracted beast received the order and immediately broke free from Takano's entanglement, turned around and rushed towards Kitaoka, knocking him to the ground, and then ran all the way to Tojo.

Kitaoka, who was knocked over, struggled on the ground in pain, not knowing that Tojo was already standing in front of the contracted beast, aiming at her.

"drink!"

He jumped up with a light shout, stepped on the rhino contracted beast's head with both feet, leaned forward, and his whole body became an extension of the contracted beast's rhino horn. The contracted beast also accelerated instantly, and rushed straight towards Kitaoka like a speeding dump truck.

"Get out of the way! Miss Kitaoka!"

Just as Kaiqi's final attack was about to hit Kitaoka, at this critical moment, Takano jumped out from the side and pushed Kitaoka away.

Kitaoka, who was pushed away, was so shocked that he couldn't help but shout, "Gao! Ye!"

"boom!!!!!"

……

……

……

“Ahhh! It hurts, it hurts…hiss…”

In the smoke and dust after the explosion, Kitaoka, after feeling nervous and frightened, suddenly heard a voice that he was very familiar with.

"Mai!?"

The smoke and dust cleared, and the results of Tojo's final arrival finally emerged, and the result was... no results.

He looked at the dragon rider in front of him, holding a dragon armor shield and lying on the sea ray, and shouted angrily: "Another troublemaker has come. You guys all like to hang out together, don't you?!"

"Hiss... Ouch." Mai, who was finally attacked with her shield, couldn't help but scream in pain and stood up, putting on a righteous attitude. However, it was so painful that the posture collapsed after just a few seconds.

“Ha, because… I am a ally of justice. When facing… facing those who bully the weak, I will never sit idly by… Ah, my hand hurts, my hand hurts… Oh no, it’s numb…”

After Mai finished her declaration, she began to groan as her arms kept shaking due to the pain.

Seeing this, Tojo became extremely impatient: "What kind of guy is this..."

However, although he was impatient, he could only utter a harsh word. After all, the guy in front of him who was shaking his hands and jumping up and down was a dragon rider.

Although Tojo is a battle maniac, he also knows his own limitations. It is already his limit to cooperate with the contracted beast to face two knights, Sea Manta and Iron Soldier, at the same time. If there is another Dragon Knight, there is no need to consider whether he can win or not. He will not have the advantage in terms of numbers alone.

Although he was extremely angry about the Dragon Riders' disruption, his inner reason still restrained his desire to continue fighting. He snorted coldly and said cruelly: "Iron Soldier, you saved your life this time, but next time, I will definitely kill you!"

After making these harsh remarks, Tojo quickly left the battlefield under the protection of his contracted beast.

Seeing Tojo leave, Mai heaved a sigh of relief and pulled up the manta ray behind her. At the same time, she whispered in her ear: "Ms. Kono! You were too risky just now!"

Gao Ye simply responded: "No risk, no gain."

Kitaoka sat on the ground dejectedly. This complete failure really hit her hard, especially when Tojo launched the final attack and the ray pushed her to her death...

If it weren't for Ryuki's temporary rescue, Kitaoka couldn't imagine what the final result would be... She could accept that she was defeated by Tojo because of her inferior skills, but she could not accept that Takano died because of her.

She forced herself to stand up, walked up to Gao Ye, and said with some discomfort: "I'm sorry... Gao Ye, this time, it's my fault. You almost died in Kaiqi's hands... I... I may not be a suitable leader..."

After seeing this, Gao Ye looked at Longqi next to him and started a silent communication.

Dragon Rider: Is this done?

Manta: Done.

Dragon Rider: Siguoyi! But... it's so dangerous.

Manta ray: As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Chapter 86: Trapped in a Loop

"Mr. Kadoya, are you willing to assist me now?"

In the coffee shop where Mai works part-time, Takano took out a card box with a tiger head carved on it from his pocket and handed it to Shinichi, asking him.

Shinichi raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at the card box on the table. Yes, it was Daya's card box.

This surprised Shinichi a little. Not to mention how Takano knew that he wanted the Daiya card box in Kitaoka's hands, the fact that this girl could get the card box was already surprising enough to him.

He took the card box and played with it for the whole afternoon. It was genuine and authentic, which made him even more curious.

"How did you get this?"

Takano calmly took a sip of coffee and responded, "I saved Miss Kitaoka's life and told a little white lie. I know that you, Mr. Kadoya, are very interested in the Daiya card box, so... may I ask, can my sincerity impress you to cooperate?"

Shinichi looked at Takano's strategic posture and his evaluation of Takano increased a bit. Although he was a little afraid of Takano's foresight, the big tooth card box was indeed very attractive to him. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to cooperate with Takano.

Shinichi chuckled and put the Daiya card box in his pocket: "Well~ I admit, Miss Takano, you did give me an offer I couldn't refuse... So, now, can you tell me what you want me to do?"

After getting Shinichi's consent, Takano breathed a sigh of relief. Although Takano acted as if she was in control of the situation, in fact, she only roughly guessed Shinichi's intention through divination.

Especially when he learned from divination that Shinichi wanted the Daya card box, Takano himself was a little surprised. After witnessing the battle of knights, he would still choose to join in. This made Takano wonder if this person would be the second Tojo Ken.

However, after observation, Takano finally chose to trust Shinichi and handed the Big Tooth card box to him.

"Mr. Kadoya, how much do you know about the Knight War?" Takano did not directly tell Shinichi his purpose, but asked another question.

In response, Shinichi touched his chin and said, "Not much. Most of it was told to me by Mai and Izumi Yuka. Some rules, the situation in the mirror world, and which knights fought there."

"Really? Then you should have heard that the final winner of the Knight War will have a chance to realize his or her wish, right?"

"Of course I have heard of it, but I am skeptical about this statement."

"Oh?" Takano was aroused by a trace of curiosity and asked, "Skepticism? Mr. Kadoya, do you not believe this statement?"

"Of course I don't believe it. In my opinion, all promises that wishes can be fulfilled are just bullshit. Even if they can really be fulfilled, it will only be a twisted realization like the monkey's paw with a curse and price."

Takano couldn't help but ask: "Since you think so, Mr. Kadoya, that means you don't care about fulfilling wishes. Then... can you tell me why you want the Big Tooth Card Box and participate in the Knight War?"

Shinichi raised his head and answered: "For the answer, I need to intervene in this knight war to find the answer I want to know."

"Answer……"

"Hmm~" Shin nodded, then turned his attention and stared at Takano with a teasing and curious look, and asked: "I have already answered, so, Miss Takano, what about you? You obviously also know that this knight war is essentially a monkey's paw scam, so why did you join in?"

In response, Takano was silent for a moment, and after struggling in his heart, he finally chose to tell the truth: "I joined the Knight War for the same reason as Mr. Kadoya, I was also looking for an answer.

It's just that the answer I want may be different from Mr. Kadoya's... Two months ago, I was troubled by a recurring nightmare. In the dream, I dreamed of my own death, over and over again, each time differently.

Although it was a nightmare, my intuition told me that this was the future that was about to happen, one of the countless futures in which I faced death. Then I was involved in a knight war and had to fight against various knights.

Only then did I understand the reason for the death I had predicted in my dream. If nothing unexpected happened, my fate would almost certainly be to die in the Knights' Battle. However, I could not accept this predetermined fate and kept looking for a way out. "

Listening to Takano's narration, Shinichi couldn't help but sigh once again at the Manta Banxian. This ability to predict dreams and tell fortunes was really a bug. He could get the information he needed by just having a dream or doing some divination. This magical skill was too useful.

And Takano's narration is not over yet: "In this process, I gradually discovered that there was something wrong with my dream of death. I found that it did not seem to be a simple foreseeing of the future. It gave me a completely different feeling from divination... It was more like a kind of... sealed... playback of the past."

Hearing these words, Shinichi's heart was instantly filled with shock and chaos. Takano's words basically made one thing clear, which was that this world had been reset countless times under the advent of Odin's time.

Just like the TV version of Dragon Knight, all the knights are trapped in this time loop, heading towards the tragic end of all being killed again and again.

It is possible that Takano has his own special ability of divination, and in this cycle of reincarnation, he has received fragments of revelations, and finally realized that he is trapped in reincarnation.

This kind of thing also happened to Ryuki in the TV series, and he was even stronger than Kono. In the middle period, Kanzaki Shirou, the ultimate sister complex, instructed Odin to activate the time advent to repair the broken relationship between himself and his sister.

However, in this process, Shinji actually saved his memory in the reverse flow of time, although as time went by, Shinji found that his memory became more and more blurred. In order to prevent himself from forgetting this, Shinji wrote reminders all over his home with notes to remind himself not to forget the things in the previous reincarnation.

With the help of this method, when facing Odin again, Dragon Rider predicted that Odin's slap was coming, dodged it, and punched Odin in the back.

Although the official has not yet explained why Dragon Rider was able to preserve his memory when Odin's time came, from a drama perspective, that episode was indeed a great episode in Dragon Rider TV.

Although the revelation that Takano received was not as obvious as in the TV series Ryuki, he also noticed clues through his keen insight.

Thinking of this, Shinichi did not reveal his thoughts, but pretended to be surprised and asked: "Oh? Miss Takano, you mean... you have actually died many times?"

"...Although it's a little ridiculous, I do think so. I feel like I... no, the whole world is trapped in an inescapable cycle. This is not normal... I must break this cycle."

Seeing Takano's determined expression, Shin nodded and asked, "Although it sounds a bit too magical, but with the Knight War and Mirror World, such magical things have already appeared, I feel that this kind of thing may not be surprising... So, Miss Takano, how are you going to break this cycle?"

Having said that, Takano straightened his sitting position and solemnly began to explain his plan to Shinichi: "I think that since it is a cycle, there must be a starting point. Although I did not survive to the end of each cycle, I can roughly guess the beginning of each cycle..."

After saying this, Takano took out a piece of paper and a pen, drew a straight line on it, and then drew a circle at the end of the straight line.

Then, she pointed to the intersection of the circle and said, "This place is the beginning of the cycle. If all this is driven by a certain person, then something special will happen to this person on this day. And if my dream is used as a reference... this node should be a few months ago."

Zhen nodded, "Two months ago? I see. As long as we find out the special event that happened two months ago, we should be able to roughly identify the source of the cycle, right?"

"That's right... In addition, in addition to finding out what happened at this time two months ago in reality, we also have to go to the mirror world to look for it..."

"Looking in the mirror world? Looking for what?"

"Looking for the man in the mirror who gave us the card box and allowed us to fight."

Chapter 87: The Cloaked Knight

In the small and classic coffee shop, the rich aroma of coffee permeates the entire shop. Combined with the light and soothing music playing from the record player, everything feels so comfortable and relaxing.

However, in such an atmosphere, the topics discussed between Shinichi and Takano were not at all light-hearted.

"Ah~ Allow me to ask, Miss Takano, you are not planning to rush into the mirror world, capture the man in the mirror, and then use a whip to wrap around his neck to threaten him to break the cycle, right?"

Shinichi's words left Takano speechless. She sighed and said, "Mr. Kadoya, I haven't taken it for granted yet. Let alone whether I can defeat the man in the mirror, it is still unclear whether the man in the mirror is the master of the time loop."
