Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

He threw the sword in his hand onto a dial and pressed the button on the dial.

"E·E·E·Ex-Aid! Final Attack Time Break!"

With a roar, the Chimera opened its mouth and spewed a breath at Yan Ming.

It came like a flame, as if it would burn everything in its path.

But—Yan Ming's body vanished from the spot in that instant.

Bang! A cracking sound came from behind the chimera.

The next moment, it came from in front of it.

The next instant is from the right, and the next instant after that it's from the left...

After countless surprise attacks, Yan Ming's own body appeared directly behind it.

"Roar…"

"Mr. Yan Ming! That monster hasn't been eliminated yet; we can't let our guard down like this!!"

By the time Fujimaru Ritsuka's alarming voice reached them, it was already too late.

The chimera roared and lunged at Yan Ming's head again, but—

"Hit! HitHitHitHit——"

Countless things, like three-dimensional text, flashed around Chimera's entire body.

Yan Ming didn't turn around to look at what was happening behind him. He slowly walked towards Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka, and finally heard an extremely violent explosion behind him.

The chimera's body was completely obliterated, leaving no trace of its remains.

The magical beasts that had been surrounding them, upon seeing Yan Ming slowly approaching and then standing still, all retreated into the forest as if their tails were between their legs…

The scene before their eyes, the golden warriors fighting with overwhelming force... completely opened everyone's eyes.

"That person... is so strong."

"That's true."

Anna couldn't help but marvel at Yan Ming's fighting style, and Merlin couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile.

"She's truly an extraordinary person..."

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

Thus, the battle came to a complete end.

The monsters were eventually frightened into hiding in the forest, thanks in large part to Yan Ming.

Yan Ming and his two companions also deactivated their transformations and walked together to the group.

"As expected of my Demon King! To be able to use the power of Ex-Aid to this extent after only just acquiring it, you're simply a genius!"

"I mean, if Sougo could transform into such a powerful form before, why has he never changed?"

“Every demon lord has the right to make their own choices, Geiz-kun. This is something we, as retainers, cannot decide.”

"That's true... Wait a minute! Who's the retainer now?!"

Ignoring the two people who continued to make noise behind him, Yan Ming looked directly at the crowd in front of him.

Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka, and—

A purple-haired girl in a black robe, and a white-haired youth holding a magic wand.

"Excuse me, what exactly are you...?"

"Well, it's time for me to introduce myself."

The young man smiled simply and said directly.

"This is Anna, and I'm Merlin—that's all."

"Merlin is just Merlin, the great magician by King Arthur's side. He's nothing special, no need to be obsessed with me."

Volume 8, Mesopotamia Absolute Monster Front: Chapter 322 The Unfathomable One?

"Senior, where should we go next? This forest is teeming with magical beasts; it's not a suitable place to stay for long..."

"This... Doctor, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Even if you say that, based on Chaldea's current data, it's difficult to calculate all the detailed terrain features of your era, and we have absolutely no idea where to go next..."

"That's true... So, Mr. Yan Ming, do you have any ideas on your end?"

"Perhaps we can find a clue through this book."

"Really? Then let's take a look quickly, Mr. Woz!"

Everyone was talking about their own topics.

Merlin, who had given a splendid self-introduction, was completely dumbfounded.

"Are you guys even listening to what I'm saying?!"

"Huh? Sorry! I was so focused on what was going to happen next that I didn't hear you! So..."

"Ugh! At least let people finish speaking, okay?!"

"Hey, wait a minute! So you really are Merlin?!"

"What do you mean, Romani? You should at least use a polite and respectful tone when we first meet."

"How do you know my name?! And isn't Merlin supposed to be the kind of guy who went to Avalon and became immortal?! Why would someone like you become a Servant?!"

"Because of this and that, it has become what you see before you."

"Isn't that an overly perfunctory explanation?"

While Fujimaru Ritsuka and Merlin were enjoying a lively atmosphere, Yan Ming and his group were still considering more important matters.

"Woz."

"What's wrong, my Demon King?"

"Don't you think things have become too peaceful lately?"

His words initially puzzled Wozniak, but after frowning, he understood completely.

"...You mean Swartz and the demons?"

In fact, in the previous world where a great war was fought over the Star Grail, they never encountered anything related to demons.

They didn't even encounter the Time Robbers. Logically speaking, if they wanted to completely defeat Yan Ming and his group, they shouldn't have let go of the previous world.

So what exactly happened? Even Wozniak didn't know the answer to this question.

but--

"When I was fighting those monsters before, I sensed a familiar aura."

When Yan Ming said those words to Woz, Woz looked thoughtful.

"Did you feel it too?"

"Hmm... As expected of my Demon King, he saw right through me."

Woz stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Yan Ming again.

"My Demon King, just state my conclusion directly. The aura surrounding those magical beasts undoubtedly belongs to those demons, and not just any ordinary demons."

"Is this incident also related to those demons?"

"I don't know about that, but there must be a reason why the Oma Tales - KT brought us to this world. It's best to be careful in everything we do."

Gates walked over and looked at the two of them with some surprise, but he quickly turned his attention to something else.

"I say... isn't that girl over there Merlin's companion?"

Wozniak and Yan Ming looked in the direction Gates was pointing and saw the girl in the black robe standing in the distance.

"Why is she all alone over there?"

"It's best not to get involved in other people's private affairs, Mr. Gates."

"That's true, but I always feel something's off, like the child has something on their mind."

As the two spoke, Yan Ming kept all of their words in mind.

"So, back to the point, Woz, where should we go next?"

Everyone turned their attention to Wozniak, or more precisely, to the book he was holding in his arms.

"Oh...? This book alone tells us where we're headed next?"

"I can also see the future with my Demon King's power, but such a trivial matter is not worthy of my Demon King's personal attention."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Woz opened the book and went straight to the corresponding chapter and page.

He and Yan Ming had already been to this world once before and recorded a lot of information, including things about this era.

"If there is any place that can be a destination, I think it would be to go to one of the most prosperous cities of this era."

"Could it be...?"

"Uruk".

Needless to say, Yan Ming, who is knowledgeable in all kinds of things, even Gates reacted to this name.

"If we go to Uruk, the most powerful king of this era should be there."

"The legendary King Gilgamesh...?"

Merlin, hailed as King Arthur's most brilliant magician, couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

Meanwhile, Dr. Roman, who also knew these things, exclaimed in amazement within Chaldea.

"The oldest king, who holds the title of Hero King, should we... go find such a hero next?!"

"Your goal is to repair the chaotic history of this era, right? Although I don't know how you've been repairing history all along, if you want to find some clues, it would be best to go find this person."

Woz closed the book immediately, and following his words, everyone else also came to the same conclusion.

"Well, it seems that to find the Singularity, we must find King Gilgamesh."

"Really? Senior? According to legend, King Gilgamesh was supposed to be a king with a very fiery temper..."

"No matter how bad his personality is, we still have to go find him in order to save humanity."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash sighed helplessly, while Woz had a different opinion.

"This is a great opportunity, my Demon King. Perhaps by observing the Hero King, who is also a king, you can find some new opportunities on this path."

"I hope it really will be that easy then..."

In Gates's view, so-called kings like these generally don't have good personalities.

As for why he had such thoughts, it all stemmed from a man he had met before who called himself "King Danridou"...

Once their route was finalized, they set off directly towards Uruk.

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

Since they didn't know the exact location, they couldn't use the Aurora Veil to teleport directly to their destination. The Time Demon couldn't take so many people with him either, so they had to explore the route on foot.

Fortunately, Merlin and the girl named Anna spent about a day in the forest together, and managed to get a general idea of ​​the terrain.

"If you keep going northeast from here, you should be able to reach Uruk. The northwest and south are not very safe, at least that's what I think."

"Indeed, the magic detection system at Chaldea has detected a massive magical aura in the northwest and south, which means it is at least more dangerous than encountering a horde of magical beasts."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu walked at the front together, and the young man named Merlin was chatting with them.

Following behind were Yan Ming and his two companions.

If we continue reading...

"Hey...that little girl named Anna seems to always be all by herself!"

Gates couldn't help but ask Wozniak and Yan Ming some questions.

After considering it for a moment, Yan Ming walked straight back.

"Leave it to my Demon King to handle, Gates-kun."

"That little girl seems a bit withdrawn, but wasn't that guy always withdrawn before? Is he really okay?"
