Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

He gathered flame-like power in his hand and instantly punched himself towards him.

Clang—!

Fists and swords unleash their power under the pressure of the wind.

Yan Ming used the tip of his sword to block the demon's heavy punch.

It's not about clashing head-on, but rather relying on the slenderness of the blade itself to deflect its fist from the side.

This is a delicate operation that most people simply cannot perform.

The demon's heavy punch was deflected, but Yan Ming did not let the opportunity pass.

It was a smooth, flowing triple strike.

With horizontal slashes, vertical cleavings, and heavy strikes, he manipulated the demon's flesh with precision yet undiminished power.

A mournful wail echoed in my ears.

But Yan Ming would not hesitate in the slightest.

He once again used the blade of his sword to block the demon's attacking body, and gathered power in his right foot.

The demon, who was over two meters tall, was instantly kicked away by him.

With a sound effect like a gun flashing by, Yan Ming's longsword had switched to long-range gun mode.

Light bullets, flying like raindrops, pierced through the demon that had been kicked into the air from bottom to top.

One explosion after another swept through the entire street.

Fortunately, the people in the vicinity had lost consciousness because they had been controlled by the witch earlier; otherwise, if there had been any ordinary witnesses, it would have caused a huge mess.

"Wow...amazing..."

Even Homura Akemi, who had fought countless times in the cycle of reincarnation, couldn't help but marvel.

She had already witnessed the man named Shilun Yanming transform into this form using some kind of tool during the battle against the Witch Night.

However… it doesn’t have that dark golden color now.

Even so, he still held an absolute advantage in the battle.

He would occasionally use his sword, employing precise swordsmanship and techniques to attack the demons, and at other times switch to gun mode, relying on skillful techniques and gunfighting to bombard the enemy at both close and long range.

At first glance, it seems like they're just toying with these demons.

But that's not actually the case.

Shi Lun Yan Ming was not careless at all.

All his actions were meaningful, not just flashy attacks to tease or probe the enemy.

Every swing of the sword, every shot, every punch and kick truly inflicted the most effective damage on the enemy, or fulfilled its purpose.

And all of this took only twenty seconds.

The demons were beaten to a pulp, even those who were over two meters tall.

Yan Ming ran towards them at top speed, intending to finish them off with a final blow.

but.

Twenty small demons roared

Then, it merged with the giant demon that was over two meters tall.

"They've combined...?!"

Homura Akemi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as the demons coalesced into an even larger, dark purple figure, which was practically... like a giant.

Its height exceeds the size of a regular building.

The giant demon raised its fist high and delivered a heavy punch to the street where Yan Ming was standing.

The impact tore half of the asphalt road apart.

Then, the impact surged toward Yan Ming like a wave, but he did not back down.

Instead, he relied on the blade in his hand to cut in the direction of the impact from the side.

This is a conflict called force versus skill.

If Yan Ming's slash were to target the weakest area of ​​this attack, it would be possible to minimize the conflict by relying on energy output.

The purpose of this was to ensure that the aftershocks were perfectly neutralized without damaging the houses of innocent people living nearby.

However, the threat posed by the monster to Yan Ming was not as great as Homura Akemi had imagined.

By gently pressing the button on the blade, the Time Limit Sword emits a new set of sound effects.

"Time Charge!"

Yan Ming faced off against the enemy's punch that came crashing down again.

It possesses the power to shatter the road surface and pierce through steel with a single blow.

But it was easily cut in half by the blade in his hand.

「5·4·3·2·1」

"Zero Time!"

He sliced ​​the giant demon's right arm with his sword and leaped to a height of over ten meters.

Press the weapon button again.

"Giri Giri Slash!"

It was a dazzling scene, like a shooting star streaking across the Milky Way.

Yan Ming, slicing down with the slanted blade of his sword that shimmered with a bright purple light, released an energy strike that severed all physical connections between the demons from the inside.

The sound of swords echoed.

The giant demon staggered back several steps as if in pain, and then it expelled the large demon that had been fused together with the giant demon from its belly.

Yan Ming seized this moment.

He removed the driver's dial and placed it on the Time Limit Sword.

"Finish Time!"

Before the still-disintegrating giant demon could even react, Yan Ming's sword had already completed its task.

"Zi-O! Giri Giri Slash!"

While those scattered and difficult-to-deal-with smaller demons are still in a merged state, kill them all at once.

That was a purple light of destruction, even larger than skyscrapers.

As the tip of the Time Limit Sword moved upwards, it completely severed the giant demon's body.

But this is not the end.

Yan Ming walked through the sea of ​​fire after the explosion, and the shredded remains of the small demons fell around him like raindrops.

He didn't even glance at it.

They simply approached slowly toward the large, separated demon.

"Gurgle—?!"

He should be identified as a demon.

But it was witnessing a figure calmly emerge from the sea of ​​fire, strolling steadily toward it.

The other side showed no anxiety, nor any joy of victory.

He only had a single-minded "killing intent" towards this demon.

Before it even realized it, it had already taken several steps back.

The instinct for fear kept rising.

A sense of oppression, the fear of facing death, and—

Completely unaware of what kind of being they were fighting, this mysterious sense of the unknown.

All of this led the large demon to choose to turn and run away.

But the Demon King wouldn't even allow such a thing to happen.

"Finish Time!"

Press the button on the dial of the driver to release the driver and rotate it one more revolution.

Countless three-dimensional characters completely blocked the demon's path.

Yan Ming slowly leaped up, and the three-dimensional characters burst through the demon's chest, completely overlapping his right foot.

"Time Break!"

The deep purple knight's kick pierced through the demon's flesh.

With a flying kick, the Kamen Rider's overwhelming power completely shattered the last remaining existence of the demon in this world.

Flames erupted behind him.

But Yan Ming immediately turned around and swung his left hand sharply, forcibly dispersing the flames generated by killing the demon.

He remained standing in the same spot.

The faint, remaining flames illuminated Yan Ming's body as he slowly traversed the obstacle.

At that moment, Homura Akemi was completely stunned.

From the moment the man transformed until the end of the battle, it only took about a minute and a half.

It's over?

But that wasn't what truly shocked Homura Akemi.

Those who attacked him seemed to have been referred to as demons by the attackers.

But in Homura Akemi's eyes—

With overwhelming power, he crushed all the demons, making the most of every move.

Even the demons, who are the enemy, are completely terrified of the power of this absolute control.

The figure that had completely crossed the flames was approaching him step by step.

It was as if he were a bloodthirsty person who would mercilessly crush all those who stood in his way.

He is the true embodiment of absolute power, used to eliminate all demons who stand in his way.

That powerful presence makes all the scenery in the world pale in comparison.

"Are you alright?"

Yan Ming's voice brought Xiao Meiyan back from her thoughts.

The girl blinked, and the purple-white demon king was no longer in sight.

There was only one young man with black hair, dark purple eyes, and an extremely calm expression.

He reached out his hand to him, while he had only just come to his senses.

"I'm fine..."

Homura Akemi then grabbed the other person's hand and stood up.

"As expected of you! My Demon King, you've already reached such a formidable level in your very first display of power!"

Woz, the guide holding a book, had also emerged from the teaching building.

Seeing the signs of destruction on the street, it seemed that Yan Ming had completely defeated the demons.

"I knew you could do it. After all, you're a king who transcends time and space, and the new Demon King—"

"How are those people doing?"

"...Well...they're all fine. The witch's influence has dissipated, and the aftershocks of the battle didn't affect them either."

Wozniak seemed slightly embarrassed that his congratulatory message had been interrupted.

"My Demon King, you are truly a wise king who cares deeply about the safety of your people."
