Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Yan Ming could never understand this.

"Don't overthink it, kid, that guy's getting close!"

Caster's voice came from beside me again.

Yan Ming came to his senses and first looked at Archer, who was still wielding his twin swords.

Caster quickly retreated to prepare his runes, while Yan Ming continued to fight him.

The tips of their swords were pointing directly at each other.

The storm ripped the earth apart, and Archer couldn't help but pour even more power into his hands.

"Impressive. Can a human body alone fight an archer like me to this extent?"

In the midst of high-speed melee combat, Archer's voice had only been uttered a few seconds earlier, as this was already beyond the realm of sound speed.

Yan Ming ignored Archer.

He seized the opportunity to dodge Archer's twin blades and swiftly placed the dial on the Time Limit Sword.

"Finish Time!"

Light flickered beneath Archer.

An overwhelming purple light burst forth from the very tip of the blade, and Yan Ming swung it horizontally without hesitation.

"Zi-O! Giri Giri Slash!"

A powerful blow that can sweep away and cut through even skyscrapers.

The purple giant blade crushed the temple floor with a single blow, and the aftershocks shattered the path in front of the forest, destroying almost the entire street.

But—it was evaded.

Archer simply leaped to the top of the temple with overwhelming speed.

"Leave it to me, kid!"

Caster immediately shouted and slammed his wand to the ground.

Countless blue runes connected the ground and the air.

The entire space was covered by Caster's runes.

"This is…"

"Hmph! The moves my master taught me before are just variations of those techniques now."

As a result, Archer could no longer move around as he pleased.

But the other party remained unfazed.

The narrower the space available for movement…

The twin swords vanished, and the arrows were projected back into view.

"That means your space to hide is getting smaller and smaller."

"—!"

Caster was taken aback.

Followed by.

Archer drew back his bowstring, and countless arrows rained down from the limited height of the sky.

This was an attack of arrows that surpassed any previous one.

Even Caster, a Servant, was dumbfounded.

"Kid... get out of the way!"

He hurriedly used magic to try and expand his defensive range, but it was too late.

Although Caster herself was encased in a protective spell, Yan Ming's body remained outside.

The arrows completely engulfed him.

but--

In that instant, a gray cloak enveloped Yan Ming.

"My Demon King! Are you alright?!"

It's Wozniak.

After shielding Yan Ming from almost all the arrows in the critical moment, Woz immediately asked him about it.

Despite this, the three of them still couldn't escape from this extreme offensive.

Archer once again replaced his bow and arrows with the two daggers he had used before.

He projected the dagger out like a shadow, and then projected two more identical daggers from his hand.

Yan Ming immediately noticed this.

So he pushed Woz away without hesitation.

Clang—!

The blades clashed, but neither could block the attack.

Yan Ming used extreme skill and strength to block the white dagger in an instant, but was still hit in the arm by the black dagger.

The Time Limit Sword also fell down.

Woz wanted to say something quickly, but Yan Ming immediately turned his head away.

The black dagger turned and attacked him again.

Even if Yan Ming could unleash a speed comparable to that of a Servant in a short period of time, the enemy he faced was one of the most powerful beings among the Servants.

Archer's attacks must surpass his speed.

Given that the hard data is far inferior, it is already a miracle that Yan Ming can still fight against it to a great extent.

But can he really avoid this even more fatal blow?

Suddenly.

The entire hill and temple were shaken violently.

"Now!"

Caster seemed to have seen Archer momentarily distracted by the tremor, and then he raised his wand.

A gigantic, vine-like object appeared around Yan Ming.

The dagger pierced the vine, triggering a violent explosion.

Yan Ming seized the opportunity and quickly flew to a short distance away to pick up the Time Limit Sword again.

He pressed the dial of the waist drive again.

"Finish Time!"

The Time Limit Sword was surrounded by a purple glow, transforming into a rapid sword aura that rivaled Archer's attack speed.

It's coming head-on.

"Time Break!"

The sound of explosions echoed through the entire forest for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

Archer's body was engulfed in flames, however—

As the smoke and dust dissipated, a huge pink barrier, resembling flower petals, appeared in front of him.

"...What a pity, you were just a little short of seriously injuring me."

He removed the shield and then looked at the crowd.

"However, even if you defeat me, you probably won't be able to accomplish what you want to achieve afterward."

"What did you say?"

Caster frowned.

That tremor just now, could it be...?!

"That's right... Do you think anyone other than me could have caused that level of destruction?"

Saber certainly possesses such power, but Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others have only just entered the Great Void and shouldn't have officially faced Saber yet.

Then look more closely at the entrance to that large, hollow hole.

The entrance is now completely obscured by countless pebbles.

There is only one answer.

"Is it...Berserker...?!"

----------------------

This is on the road leading to the Great Hollow.

…No.

Unfortunately, thanks to a sudden attack, the entrance and exit of the entire road were completely blocked by falling rocks.

Who exactly is the enemy?

—A humanoid monster over two meters tall with blood-red light shining in its eyes.

Berserker is a Servant of the Berserker class.

"Wait, why did Berserker show up at a time like this?!"

Even Dr. Roman, who was far away in Chaldea, was shocked.

But now there's no time left for everyone to think.

"Mash! Fujimaru Ritsuka-kun! That guy's charging at us!"

The monster roared, then raised its overwhelming heavy sword and leaped toward the three Chaldea members.

The shield-wielding Servants had no choice but to stand up and fight.

Bang--!!

Despite the sword's thick and heavy blade, Mash's shield still managed to stop it.

"Mash—!!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted loudly, but was immediately blown away by the impact and strong wind.

Mashu herself used almost all her strength.

"senior…"

Mashu gritted her teeth, feeling her hands trembling as she blocked the giant blade.

The monster roared again.

This time, an attack several times stronger than before flew in all at once.

"Waaaaaahh ...

Mashu and her shield were blasted away together.

Olga Marie watched the scene unfold before her with a look of despair.

The exits and entrances were both sealed off.

Inside the entire enclosed, dark, and opaque tunnel, only the pitiful cries of Fujimaru Ritsuka for Mash could be heard.

Even oxygen is becoming increasingly scarce.

----------------------

"That Berserker... it's actually locking onto the direction of the little girl and that kid?!"

Caster's expression showed he could no longer contain himself.

Even Yan Ming had a hard time dealing with Berserker, so how could Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka possibly defeat him?

No... even if we win, what then?
