Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"Lily!"

"what…!"

Seeing that the girl had no chance to escape, Fubuki quickly decided to use her telekinesis to control her and make her fly up immediately.

But—the spikes beneath her feet extended so fast that they reached her in an instant.

It's too late.

In that brief moment, Fubuki's heart became incredibly complicated.

'This is...this is my limit as a B-rank hero?'

Not reconciled.

A figure that appears extremely small, yet possesses immense height within one's heart... a petite figure enveloped in green light... appears in one's mind.

'If it were my older sister, she would have already dealt with the monster before this even happened…!'

boom--!!!

Countless spikes pierced through the spot where the girl had been standing, tearing everything to shreds.

ended.

Fubuki bit her lip, trembling, and could only stare at the spot where the girl had been pierced by the spikes—

"Go hide over there."

...Huh?

At that moment, she, or rather all the other members of the Fubuki Group, heard it.

There was another unfamiliar voice.

Then, turning around, she realized that a man had somehow led Lily to a safe side of the street.

"—Huh?!"

The girl named Lily was completely incredulous, still not quite recovered from the shock.

Nobody knows how he did it.

only--

Next, the man walked straight towards the strange figure in front of him.

"You...you! What are you doing? That's a Demon-level monster! You have no chance of winning alone, don't go and die!"

But the other party didn't say anything.

He simply moved with light steps, gradually approaching the hedgehog-like monster, even though everyone could see that he was already being devoured by those countless sharp spikes—

"Transformation."

—Bang!

The next second, the demon-level monster was suddenly sent flying backward.

The man's body had been replaced by another figure wearing armor.

A figure with a silver-purple hue and an air of mystery.

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider! Zi-O!"

Volume 10, One-Punch Man: Chapter 453 Even if it means using force, I'll still recruit people.

"What is that?"

Boom! A purple flash illuminated the street, which was shrouded in explosions and spikes.

After the light faded, everyone saw the figure standing directly in front of them.

"Armor? Is that armor?!"

"Huh...? What? Armor? Why is that thing out here?!"

The members of the Fubuki Group gasped in surprise upon seeing the figure clad in silver-purple armor.

Even Fubuki herself was surprised.

"When...did he put on that armor?"

No—that's not the point right now.

Everyone stared at Yan Ming, who had completed his transformation.

The hedgehog-like strange man also turned his attention to him.

At the same time, all the jet-black spikes shot out like raindrops.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

The pitch-black monster transformed into a cannon, with black spikes spreading out in all directions.

"Ah, watch out! That weirdo is a demon!!"

The Blizzard Group's warning came from behind, but it was too late.

Immediately afterwards, the black spikes seemed to have a mind of their own, turning sharply in the air and hurtling towards Yan Ming at high speed.

Oops!

Having fought countless monsters, Fubuki knew very well the power of a Demon-level monster. Although she didn't know what level of hero the opponent was, it was obvious that it couldn't possibly be defeated by that strange armor alone—

So Yan Ming took action.

I don't know when, but I found myself holding a long sword in my hand, its blade moving like the hands of a clock.

Quickly draw a neat circle around yourself.

Buzz...!

The purple halo shone brightly, followed by a rainbow-like shimmering color change that instantly ignited the atmosphere.

It was a loud explosion.

The arc cut by the Time Limit Sword was detonated, and the energy burst into a violent shockwave that easily engulfed almost all the surrounding black spikes.

ah…!

The members of the Fubuki Group didn't have time to speak; their faces were filled with shock.

Fubuki herself was completely stunned.

The black, hedgehog-like monster seemed surprised and shocked by this.

However, its hands did not stop moving.

Buzz...!

Immediately afterwards, even without using special abilities such as precognition or extrasensory perception, Yan Ming sensed that aura simply by relying on his own intuition.

It was an even more exaggerated killing intent than before.

Bang-!

The chaotic and uncontrollable air currents were torn apart, and then, shockingly, two dark shadows shot out in a straight line.

They aimed straight at Yan Ming's chest, or rather, at the location of his heart.

The silver-purple figure was directly hit by the frontal attack.

Boom—!!

"Oh no! This is terrible!"

The only girl in the Fubuki Group, the one named Lily who had just been rescued by Yan Ming, had a very anxious and panicked expression on her face.

The other members all had similar expressions.

"That last blow...we definitely couldn't have withstood it!"

"Is that guy really okay...?"

Even Fubuki herself stared at the dust-covered world with a slightly surprised expression.

Then—

"It's alright."

A sound suddenly burst forth from the smoke and dust.

boom--!!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a surge of energy instantly dispersed the smoke from the recent explosion.

"You're kidding, right?!"

Unharmed.

To be precise, the opponent swung the sword horizontally just as he was about to be hit, which in turn blocked the two huge spikes of the hedgehog monster.

The perfect angle and the curve of the blade are so fine that even a layman can tell it's no joke.

But what happened next was even more outrageous.

Bang! Yan Ming lightly flicked the blade, leaping a few steps backward from the tip of the strange man's two spikes.

Under everyone's gaze, he took something off his arm, twirled it, and held it in his hand.

"Kabuto!"

"Let's change to this one."

"Eh...?"

Before anyone could understand what it meant...

Yan Ming had already inserted the watch face in his hand directly into the time-space driver.

Press the button on the belt and rotate it accordingly.

"Armor Time!"

In an instant, its silver-purple body began to glow brightly.

A blue ripple spread from the edge of his belt across his entire body, and then—

From the sky, something resembling a beetle suddenly materialized and covered Yan Ming's entire body, forming a set of crimson, technologically advanced armor.

"Change Beetle! Kabuto!"

Everyone who stood by and watched this scene showed an even more shocked expression.

"Changed...?"

Zi-O Kabuto Armor.

However, the enemy did not give him time... The pitch-black monster moved once again.

However, Yan Ming didn't care about the other party's actions at all.

boom!!

Countless spikes, erupting like missiles, this time completely locked onto Yan Ming from all sides.

Not only that, but longer, black spikes began to sprout from the hedgehog-like monster's body, and it went berserk, attempting to destroy all the surrounding houses.

"This is bad! If we don't stop that monster quickly, the area of ​​destruction will expand even further—"

"...Clock Up".

—Bang.

For an instant.

Whether it was the Fubuki group or Fubuki herself, before they had even finished speaking, or even—in the blink of an eye—they were still speaking.

A figure clad in bright red armor was already standing behind the hedgehog-like monster.

What happened to that strange man?

When you turn your gaze to the other side—it is actually spurting blood all over its body.

Every place where spikes could grow was cut off.

The ground was covered with shredded, sharp fragments of spikes...!
