Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

She gritted her teeth, retreated rapidly, and manipulated some kind of dark chain to stop the other party.

Even so, he was still being repeatedly cut open by the opponent's long sword.

Lancer kept dodging, while the masked man relentlessly pursued him. Once Lancer caught up, he would be gradually suppressed in close combat.

All of this shocked the three Chaldea members who had arrived.

"Wow...! It can actually keep up with Lancer's attack speed?"

"Is he also a follower, Dr. Roman?"

"No...no! That guy...our data can't detect any magic power or spirit origin structure in him at all. That guy—isn't a Servant at all!"

Not a Servant?

"According to biometric analysis, he is—wait?—an ordinary human?! How is that possible!"

"You mean humans? Are you kidding me, Romani?!"

Both Dr. Roman, who was far away in Chaldea, and Director Olga Marie, who witnessed the whole situation on the spot, expressed similar amazement.

"Fighting against Servants with a human body? Even a fool's dream wouldn't be that exaggerated!"

"But... Chaldea's data... all of it shows this!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu also witnessed it firsthand.

Anyone could see that it was a masked warrior wearing mysterious armor who was constantly engaged in extraordinary close-quarters combat with Lancer.

Despite seeing the facts, neither Dr. Roman nor the director could accept it.

The perspective returns to the battle between Lancer and Yan Ming.

After fighting for about ten seconds, Lancer finally understood something.

In close combat, the opponent possesses the ability to overwhelm you.

Although it's unclear what kind of person or hero the opponent is, the combination of swordsmanship, physical skills, and mental strength results in a powerful combat ability that can suppress one from various angles.

In Lancer's view, only someone who has been constantly engaged in life-and-death battles on the battlefield and has accumulated years of experience could accomplish such a thing.

If not, then he can only be a genuine "genius".

However—

'Even in close combat, this guy is superior to me.'

While dodging Yan Ming's straight slashes, Lancer once again leaped into the air to a height of more than ten meters.

Yan Ming planned to pursue them further.

However, it couldn't keep up with its own speed of movement.

'But in terms of speed, I still have the advantage!'

Yan Ming couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, realizing the situation himself.

He possesses combat abilities that surpass those of his enemies, but he cannot achieve the same ability as Lancer to move freely at speeds exceeding the speed of sound.

What he currently possesses is merely the most basic form ability that Woz refers to as Kamen Rider Zi-O.

but.

Although he cannot move freely at supersonic speeds at any time, Yan Ming can still increase his reaction speed and burst speed to supersonic levels when fighting at close range.

This is why he was able to dodge the Berserker's supersonic attack in almost a fraction of a second.

The same applies to Lancer now.

"That guy's really persistent..."

Lancer only felt a headache coming on from Yan Ming.

She tried her best to create distance, but Yan Ming only ever stayed close behind her.

It's almost like...

No matter what, he has no intention of letting himself go; he will not rest until he defeats himself—the Demon King.

"This is an extremely interesting development!"

The sudden sound then swept across the battlefield.

"Since there's already one intruder, why not add me to the mix?"

boom!!

Unbeknownst to Lancer, flames then surged toward her from behind.

She had to turn around and use her scythe to extinguish all the countless flames.

It was just a fleeting moment.

Yan Ming seized the opportunity and launched a direct attack that exploited the weakness.

"Oops!"

Lancer opened his eyes wide and pulled the scythe back to him as quickly as possible.

The sharp weapons of both sides constantly emitted sparks and deafening friction sounds.

Lancer felt a tremendous force come over him, and in the next instant, he was falling towards the ground.

She quickly stuck her sickle into the road to steady herself.

then.

Another entity that had intruded into the battle also appeared before everyone.

"Hey! Little girl, little boy! You two look like you're at a disadvantage!"

"Who are you…!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other in surprise.

This is a blue-haired man dressed in blue and white clothing and wearing a hood.

He then removed his hood, revealing a handsome smile that exuded fighting spirit.

"Like that guy, I am a Servant in the Holy Grail War... My class is Caster, so I'm here to help you out."

"Because, I've been at odds with this guy from the very beginning, and there seems to be someone even more formidable than me here... This is really getting interesting!"

As he said, he is a Caster.

So he raised his wooden wand and pointed it at Lancer.

"Come on, let's make this chaotic battle absolutely electrifying!!"

Caster gathered his magic and immediately unleashed countless spells.

As if in response, Yan Ming picked up the Time Limit Sword again and charged towards Lancer.

The chaotic battle that erupted in the city of Fuyuki has reached a fever pitch.

Volume 2, Burning Pollution City, Fuyuki: Chapter 14, Humanity Survival Guarantee Organization, Chaldea

"This is truly incredible!"

Romani Archaman is the Chaldea support staff currently responsible for guiding Fujimaru Ritsuka and others who are in Fuyuki City.

Now, through the remotely transmitted spiritual images, he couldn't help but utter all sorts of exclamations of amazement.

"That human in the strange armor is handling Lancer so easily! And... he's also very adept at cooperating with Caster's support when she arrives!"

"It's almost as if... these two have always been like this!"

A helper claiming to be Caster arrived at the scene, and Yan Ming decided to rely on his strength to end the battle as quickly as possible.

And just as Dr. Roman said, Yan Ming and Caster worked together perfectly.

Yan Ming knew very well that the two had never crossed paths in the past, so there was no such thing as it had always been like this a long time ago.

The reason they were able to perfectly coordinate with Caster's actions was for only one reason.

—Yan Ming possesses an extraordinary fighting spirit.

From the very beginning, his level of understanding was beyond what ordinary people could measure, and it was precisely because of this that his mind was able to instantly grasp Caster's various strategies and tactics.

The two didn't say much to each other.

One person is responsible for casting rune magic, and the other is responsible for close-quarters melee combat; that's all.

"hateful!"

Over time, Lancer gradually became unable to cope.

"...Mash!"

At this moment, Olga Marie, as the director of Chaldea, immediately called out to Mash, who was also a Servant beside her.

"The enemy is currently at a significant disadvantage, but we cannot rule out the possibility that they still have trump cards up their sleeve."

"To avoid that kind of unexpected situation, you should join the battle immediately now so that you can deliver the final blow to that Lancer!"

"I…"

After hearing what the director said, Mashu hesitated instead.

"Those two can keep up with Lancer's speed so easily, someone like me who's dragging my feet probably can't even get involved..."

"Do you know what you're saying? You're a Servant, after all!"

The director simply said those words without turning his head.

"Regardless of the difference in strength between you and the enemy, if you still dare not take another step forward when facing battle, you will never learn how to fight!"

If you're unwilling to take a chance, you'll never learn the true way to do it.

Whether it's fighting or anything else, it's the same.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, you must take responsibility for assisting Mash."

"Me...?"

"You are Mash's Master! Who else could that child trust the most besides you?!"

Both Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka were only recently appointed as Masters and Servants, and were essentially only half-baked.

…but.

Recalling the scene from before, Mashu did her best to protect herself and fight against Lancer in that critical moment.

She's already protected me like this, so why can't I respond at all?

I should at least... be prepared to do something about it!

“Mashu.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

"I will support you, so go and fight with confidence!"

senior…

Mashu seemed to sense Fujimaru Ritsuka's burning affection, and her eyes immediately brightened.

She nodded.

Then, Mash, as a Demi-Servant, went into battle once again.

"Zero Time!"

"Giri Giri Slash!"

Pressing the weapon's button, Yan Ming pursued Lancer with an enhanced slash from the Time Limit Sword.

The sword energy, shimmering with a dark purple light, could easily cut through even thick steel.

but.

Lancer, however, soared into the sky at a speed that surpassed human dynamic vision.

"Hmph! Although your martial arts skills are indeed extraordinary, that's all you've got in the end!"

The speed is too slow.
