Chapter 73: The 2nd Knight on the List

2023-04-30

"Shhhhh!"

The rain was drizzling on the streets of Tokyo at night.

Xia Chuan walked under the street light in the form of a dark kiva. The sealing barrier under his feet flew out, immobilizing the last two escaping rat-shaped vampires. The electric explosion instantly tore the rat-shaped vampires into pieces.

The second rat's nest was wiped out.

Xia Chuan stopped in the rain and took the time to check the panel information.

It cannot be said that there was no gain, but at level 3.6 there was no movement at all.

"Hey, Shen Yong!" Fang Bat II suddenly reminded, "Is there someone over there?"

"How many times have I told you not to call my name outside?"

Xia Chuan looked in the direction and found that there was indeed a figure lying in the rain. His clothes were bloodstained and torn, and whitish wounds could be vaguely seen. It seemed that he had been attacked by a rat-fang vampire.

"Du?"

Xia Chuan walked closer and unexpectedly discovered that the person who was attacked was the student he had met during the day.

It looks like they were ambushed by a second wave of rat-fang vampires.

"It's this kid," Fangbat II also recognized Du, "What should we do with him? Should we leave him here to perish?"

"Well!"

Du moved his fingers slightly and vaguely heard someone talking about him. He wanted to look up, but his vision was blurry. He could barely see the legs and feet of the dark kiva suit before his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness again.

Finally, all I could hear was the sound of rain getting heavier.

……

"Dark kiva?!"

The next day.

Du slowly opened his eyes under the sunlight, and after regaining consciousness, he sat up straight in shock, then gasped because of the severe pain from the torn wound.

After a long while, Du finally recovered and looked around the rooms vigilantly. He was confused when he found that it was just a living room of a house.

He remembered that he seemed to have met the Dark Kiva at the end. How could he appear in such a place?

Was he rescued?

Du endured the pain and left the sofa. Suddenly, he heard the sound of water splashing in the kitchen and the aroma of fried eggs wafted out through the gap.

My stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

"Gululu!"

"are you awake?"

Xiachuan opened the kitchen door and saw Du nodded and greeted him.

"There's not much food, so I just went to a nearby store and bought a few eggs. I'll just have to make do with that."

"Teacher Kaminaga?"

Du looked increasingly confused.

"How could it be the mentor..."

"You are lucky. I happened to pass by yesterday and saw you lying on the side of the road. Then I brought you here. This is my previous residence."

Xia Chuan tasted the fried egg first.

"How did it come to this?"

"I was fooled by mistake."

Du Xie blushed slightly and turned his head away, then asked in confusion.

"Teacher, didn't you see anyone else?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Du lowered his head to finish the fried egg in front of him.

Hiss, it’s a bit spicy.

"Really nothing?"

Xia Chuan looked at Du a few more times.

"Your past is really weird. The only real records are from the last three years, and your medical examination data has never been entered... And you are the only one who survived a vampire attack."

Du's face froze, he opened his mouth, and suddenly collapsed.

His identity does not stand up to investigation.

"I'm sorry, mentor, I didn't mean to lie to you."

After hesitating for a while, Du sighed and explained.

"Actually, my father is not from this world. About 20 years ago, my father, who was a vampire, suddenly drifted here from the Knight World. After that, he settled down there until 3 years ago..."

After a pause, Du grabbed his fingers with some pain.

"Three years ago, my father disappeared after leaving some prophecies. He said that other vampires would come to this world soon, and asked me to use the Kiva system to protect this world at the critical moment. However, no matter how hard I tried in the past few years, the fusion coefficient could not exceed 3..."

"20 years ago?"

Xiachuan was attracted by Du's first words.

It turns out that a vampire came into this world 20 years ago.

The Knight World should have started to show signs of invasion three years ago...

"So, you have actually become an official knight a long time ago?" Xia Chuan turned around and asked while thinking.

"Ah."

Watari lowered his head again.

"I don't want anyone to know that I'm half vampire, so..."

"Understandable."

Xia Chuan shook his head and didn't delve into it further.

If it were him, he would also hide his identity.

"By the way, what about the dark kiva you mentioned just now? It seems like there is some deep hatred." Xia Chuan asked curiously.

There was a brief silence.

"Since my father disappeared three years ago, I have been having the same dream over and over again, in which my father is killed by the dark kiva."

"Is it just a dream?"

Xia Chuan's eyes twitched.

He felt very confused about how the so-called revenge for his father's murder turned out to be like this.

"Anyway..."

Du stopped eating, endured the pain and left his seat, took a few steps back and bent down carefully.

"I will drop out of school when I get back and won't make things difficult for my tutor."

"return!"

Xia Chuan called out to Du who was about to leave.

"Where do you want to go? The school even accepted Gurongi, so it shouldn't be too small to accommodate a Fang Vampire student."

"Take in Gurongi?" Du was obviously stunned.

"You'll know when you get back," Xia Chuan said calmly, "and your father is your father, and you are you. Your father is a vampire, but you may not be one."

……

When Xiachuan transformed into Dark Kiva and eliminated the rat-shaped vampire, an uproar broke out in the knight circle.

Because the knight rankings, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly had a new name added.

After Kuga dominated the list for many days, another knight entered the list.

"Dark kiva?"

"Who is this knight? One of the first knights?"

"I vomited. Just like Kuuga, there are a bunch of question marks again."

"At least there's an avatar. He looks much more powerful than Sora."

"No matter what, finally I'm not the only one anymore. If we keep going like this, we'll be able to make the list sooner or later!"

"Come on, we're just doing missions and killing some ordinary monsters to get points. The real ranking depends on those level 3 and 4 knights."

"I don't have any ideas. I just want to get a fixed number of points every month."

"No wonder the fusion coefficient can't be raised!"

"Bang bang bang!"

An old warehouse somewhere.

The Frog Knight equipped the Magnum Buckle and summoned his exclusive firearms to kill several rat-shaped vampires with difficulty.

"These guys...are really hard to kill."

After cursing inwardly and canceling the transformation, the man dressed as an uncle checked his points with a smile.

It is worthy of being called the Magnum Buckle. Even when dealing with an enemy that can be resurrected repeatedly, it can still bring considerable benefits.

One step closer to making the list.

"Ok?"

The uncle glanced at the ranking list with a good mood, and his expression changed slightly when he found that there was no longer only Souga's name.

How did someone make it to the list so quickly?

The points of ordinary monsters are pitifully low, and generally only people who are in it for the money will care.

The targets of these contestants are basically monsters above level 2, which is a situation where there are too many people and too little resources.

Forget about Kuga, he killed countless high-level monsters by himself, but what about this Dark Kiva?

Even if there is a "rat infestation" now, it would be difficult to catch up with others in such a short period of time, right?

"How many points do I need to get on the list?" The uncle frowned in confusion, "Why are there so many question marks?"

Ota District.

After Xia Chuan settled the injured Du and was about to continue his rat extermination work, he suddenly noticed that the popularity of the Knight Forum had soared.

The root of all the discussion seems to be related to Dark Kiva being on the list.

Calculating the time, the list was updated exactly when he transformed and fought yesterday.

The same permission card can actually be bound to different knight identities separately?

but……

Xia Chuan did not go out immediately, but instead checked the forum information with a little confusion.

It’s weird.

Kuga was fine, after all, he had killed many high-level Gurongis, but Dark Kiva had just started to transform, and he didn't seem to do anything.

Just a group of level 2 rat-type vampires, how many points can they be worth?

Or... does the copy also count points?

Xia Chuan's eyes fluctuated slightly.
