The thieft of...
"Rin! Don't go running off by yourself!" Rintaro called as he began to chase after wielder of Hayate.
The other three remained where they stood.
"Rin…..certainly is energetic….." Domi commented in a slight awkward tone of voice.
"I would call her small hurricane of chaos." Alyssa responded in a blunt tone of voice.
"Come on. Lets just that those two won't land in an unexpected trap." Reika said before starting to run before being followed by Domi and Alyssa a few seconds later.
With Rin, her eyes narrowed as she continued to follow the traces of Mana.
"Why is it so weak? Is the Mana trying to suppress it?" Rin thought as she run.
However, her path was immediately blocked when a Shimi suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Whoa!" The wielder of Hayate explained as she stamp her next step on the ground in the hopes of stopping herself.
However, the Shimi took the opportunity to swing its sword towards Rin's neck.
"This is going to be close!" Rin thought as she began to take out her Grimoire.
However, before the wielder of Hayate could take out the sword of wind, Alyssa suddenly appeared in front of Rin and used a rapier-style sword, which consists of the guard/handle being sky blue in colour and the sword starting off black before gradually turning to silver, to block the shimi's own sword.
"What the!?" Rin exclaimed in a shock tone of voice just as Alyssa used her free arm to properly stop the wielder of Hayate.
Alysaa then pushed the Shimi's sword to the side before using a leg to kick the Shimi.
Alysaa then glanced towards the wielder of Hayate.
"Thanks." Rin said with a smile on her face.
"Hmph." Alyssa simply responded as she turned her attention back to the Shimi who is getting back to her feet.
"What's her problem?!" Rin thought in a shock tone of voice just as Rintaro, Reika and Domi appeared next to her.
"Your okay?" Rintaro asked, becoming concerned.
This cause Rin to nod her head in response.
"She certainly is fast. Is she using Mana-Skin?" Domi questioned whilst becoming surprised.
"….." Reika became quiet as she narrowed her eyes at Alyssa.
The merchant glanced over shoulder slightly and saw that the wielder of Noroshi staring at her.
However, before Alyssa could make any comments, the Shimi is already back on its feet.
"So it's just one Shimi then?" Rin questioned as she took out Hayate.
"It would seem so? But how didn't we sensed it's Mana?" Rintaro pointed out, sensing how the Mana that they were following, on in Rin's case, chasing after, was different.
"…..No. it more like we didn't sensed the Shimi's Mana at all." Reika commented as she focus her attention onto the Shimi.
It was at that moment that more Shimis appeared.
"Okay! So it's more than one." Rin commented as she glanced at the multiple Shimis that are surrounding them.
"Jinxer" Alyssa commented in a blank tone of voice.
"Hey!" Rin shouted back.
"Enough. Focus on the battle." Reika said as she took out Noroshi from her Grimoire.
This cause the other three Holy "Sword" wielders to become surprise.
"So that's what she meant by taking care of herself." Rin, Rintaro and Domi thought as they took out their own weapons and began their transformation joined by Reika.
Split the Twin Blades!
Unleash the Currents!
Noroshi! Battle Outbreak!
Let the arrow fly!
Four voices announced just as the four people don their respective armour.
"Now then. Prepare yourselves, Shimis." Sebela said before dashing forwards, Noroshi at the ready.
The rest of the Shimis lunged forwards in response, causing the other four people to scatter.
With the aid of "Air Ninja: Sky Walk", Kenzan hopped over the group of Shimis that are rushing towards her and beginning to swing the twin blades of Hayate.
The closes Shimis quickly backed away to prevent themselves from getting hit by the swords-woman of the winds before striking back.
Kenzan became a bit startled when her body shook slightly when she blocked an attack from an incoming Shimi.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Air Force." Kenzan announced before swinging both blades of Hayate, knocking back the Shimis that were unfortunate to be positioned in front of her due to the suddenly appeared gale.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Substitute." The swords-woman of the winds then announced before rolling forwards, leaving another version of herself on the spot that she once stood which was swifty slashed from a sword belonging to a Shimi.
The attacking Shimi became confused at the "disappearance act" of the second version of Kenzan.
With the original version of the swords-woman of the winds, she kept rolling forwards before kicking off the ground with the intent of striking the closes Shimi with Hayate.
However, not only only did the targeted Shimi managed to block the twin blades of Hayate, but it also managed to push Kenzan away, sending her flying upwards.
Luckily, the pages of Kenzan's Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Sky Walk." Kenzan announced before tucking in her legs when they "landed" on a solidified air.
The swords-woman of the winds then kicked off the solidified air, diving straight back into the hoard of waiting Shimis.
"There is definitely something different with these Shimis." Blades thought as he blocked an attack from a Shimi with Nagare.
The starting point of this line of thought is when he first landed a few good hit with Nagare on some of the Shimis and noticed that they didn't look to receive any form of damage, resulting in Blades, who was in his Volume 3 form, to don his Daisenki King Lion form instead, which was lucky as when the Shimis managed to land a few swords attacks of their own, Blades' body shudder slightly.
The second point is that the swordsman of water noticed that each of the Shimis are wearing what seemed to look like bracelets in the form of snakes.
"What are those bracelets? Luckily charms?" Blades wondered in his head before ducking under a horizontal sword attack from a Shimi.
"Water Creation Magic: Water Lion's Geyser Eruption!" Blades announced whilst stabbing Nagare into the ground, causing a circle of lion faces to appear around him.
This cause the approaching Shimis to stop and become cautious.
A few seconds later, water erupted out of the lions mouths, sending the Shimis flying upwards.
The cannons mounted on Blades' shoulders began to upwards before firing water-made bullets at the sky-borne Shimis.
A small frown appeared underneath Blades' helmet when he saw the amount of damage that his attack has inflicted on the Shimis.
"They sure are more durable than the Shimis that I have fought in the past." Sebela thought whilst feeling her pride being hurt as she stab a Shimi with the tip of Noroshi, yet didn't seemed to do that much damage, apart from them stumbling back.
The pages of Sebela's Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
"Mist Creation Magic: Mantis's Blade." The swords-woman of smoke announced, letting the blade of Noroshi become sharpened with the appearance of mist surrounding the sword of smoke.
Sebela gave a sharp thrust to Noroshi, resulting in the targeted Shimi falling onto the ground with noticeable damage being done.
"Mist Magic: Misty Veil." Sebela then announced, causing her entire body to become covered in mist, letting the incoming sword attacks to go through her, causing the attacking Shimis to become confuse.
The misty shape of Sebela began to move, shifty through the Shimis.
"Are those bracelets are the source of their increased durability? What if I remove those bracelets?" Sebela questioned in her head, she having the notice the snake-shaped bracelets on the Shimis's arms.
The swords-woman of smoke reformed into a solid mass and started to attack with the aim of removing the bracelets off the Shimis's arms.
However, the Shimis seemed to have noticed the change in Sebela's fighting style, causing them to become cautious.
"Interesting, they are capable of adapting to changes." Sebela thought after a failed attempt of grabbing one of the bracelets.
The swords-woman of smoke then ducked down whilst swinging Noroshi in a circular motion, striking multiple Shimis as possible.
"Maybe I should have better chance of grabbing a bracelet I use this." Sebela muttered just as the pages of her Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
"Mist Creation Magic: Spider's legs." Sebela announced and mist-made spider legs sprouted from her back which then started to attack the surrounding Shimis.
"Just let me grab one of those bracelets!" Cortana exclaimed as she, with Fillon being in charge, lunged forwards in the attempt of grabbing one of the bracelets, but wasn't lucky as the targeted Shimi quickly moved its hand out of the way which lead to Cortana to dive towards the ground.
Luckily, the bows-woman of the forest rolled across the ground in order to recover and keep on moving.
When Cortana got back onto her feet, the bows-woman of the forest let loose an arrow which managed to strike a Shimi in the chest.
With the intent of removing the bracelet of the targeted Shimi, Cortana began to move.
Unfortunately, her path was blocked.
"These types of Shimis are keen on keeping their bracelets on." Domi's voice commented, making Fillon nod her head in agreement just as the pages of their Grimoire began to turn.
"Forest Magic: Flower Pollen." Cortana announced, causing green coloured flowers to appear around which then start to produce a green smoke-like substance, almost obscuring the bows-woman of the forest's appearance.
This cause the approaching Shimis to stop and become on guard, not keen on touching the smoke-like substance.
"Forest Magic: Tree Roots." Cortana then announced, causing a seed to manifest itself in front of the bows-woman of the forest which then sank into the ground.
A few seconds later, tree roots burst out of the ground, heading towards the Shimis who quickly moved back.
However, with the aid of Mana-Method, Cortana controlled the roots so that they move faster.
Luckily, it didn't took long for a few of the Shimis to get captured.
"Yes!" Both Fillon and Domi cheered before Cortana charged forwards.
With Mana-Skin covering the blade-pieces of Eien no Midori, the bows-woman of the forest dealt damage to the trapped Shimis before successfully taking off one of the snake-shaped bracelets.
Everyone's eyes widened when they sensed the level of Mana coming off the Shimis.
"W-what?! No Shimis should possess this level of Mana!" Blades exclaimed in his head before glancing towards Sebela who seemed to be stunned by this discovery.
"Just what is going o-" Cortana began to thought but stop when she sensed something quickly approaching "her".
The bows-woman of the forest spin around just in time to see a figure above her, a claw at the ready.
However, before Cortana could get stuck by the claw, Alyssa appeared and used her sword to block the incoming attack.
Cortana backed away before focusing her attention onto the newcomer who is a figure possessing two dog-like heads and a tail which takes the form of a snake.
"A Megid!" Everyone thought, recognizing the book-like emblem that the two dog-headed Megid possess.
With the Megid itself, both heads growled before putting weight behind it's claw, causing Alyssa to be pushed back.
"Let me-" Cortana began to say whilst preparing to draw an arrow, but Alyssa shook her head.
"No. You and the others focus on the Shimis. I'll deal with this Megid." Alyssa explained whilst glancing over shoulder along with holding her ground.
"….Okay then." Cortana responded before turning her attention towards the now revealed stronger type of Shimis….with the numbers having increased due to Alyssa focusing her attention onto the two-headed dog Megid.
"Now then, lets see what you're capable of." Alyssa commented before suddenly jumping back, causing the two-headed dog Megid to stumble forwards.
The merchant used the opportunity to lunge forwards and throw a sword attack and managed to land a hit.
However, this only caused the two-headed dog Megid to growl aggressively before swinging a claw.
Alyssa used her sword to deflect the attack before dashing around the two-headed dog Megid.
Both heads whipped its heads around to see Alyssa preparing a sword attack.
However, the two-headed dog Megid's snaked tail began to move swifty and managed to bit down on Alyssa's sword arm.
"Ghe!" The merchant grunted in pain before using her other arm to punch the snaked tail which luckily released her arm.
Alyssa grimaced slightly when she saw the bite marks.
Alyssa noticed movement from the corner of her eyes, causing her to quickly look up to see the two-headed dog Megid preparing to attack her, this time using both set of fangs.
Acting quickly, Alyssa raised her sword horizontally and managed to block both of the two-headed dog Megid's fangs.
Alyssa hissed slightly as a jolt of pain went up her arm.
"Get away from her!" A voice shouted and the two-headed dog Megid immediately backed away to avoid getting hit by two green blades.
"You okay?" Kenzan asked as she stood slightly in front of Alyssa and glancing over her shoulder.
"Y-yes. I'll be okay…." Alyssa responded as she feel the pain dulling slightly.
"You're a bad dog, aren't you." Kenzan commented as she focus her attention onto the two-headed dog Megid.
This cause the Megid growl angrily before lunging forwards.
Alyssa prepared to confront the two-headed dog Megid, but it seemed to have its attention solely on Kenzan.
"Whoa!" The swords-woman of the winds exclaimed in surprise, not expecting for the Megid to have it's sole attention on her.
Alyssa raised an eye-brow slightly before moving.
However, she was intercepted when the two-headed dog Megid's snaked tail moved, blocking Alyssa's path.
"Why is the Megid have more interest in Kenzan…..no, that's not it." The merchant thought as she saw how whilst one of the heads has its attention on Kenzan, the other head is glancing towards the other Kamen Riders.
"Kenzan! The Megid seems to have an interest on you and the others." Alyssa stated, making the swords-woman of the winds to look up.
"Real-Gah!" Kenzan began to say, but this allowed the two-headed dog Megid to land a hit on her.
Alyssa bit her lips slightly as she watch Kenzan managing to recover.
However, the two-headed dog Megid's snaked tail suddenly moved, striking one of Kenzan's hands.
Differently from Alyssa, the swords-woman of the winds didn't receive too much damage due to being coated in Mana-Skin, but the attack was enough to distract Kenzan from the next attack from the two-headed dog Megid's claw, which managed to release the twin blades of Hayate from Kenzan's grip.
"Ak!" The swords-woman of the winds exclaimed as she attempted to grab her falling blades.
However, the two-headed dog Megid was quicker, grabbing the two blades of Hayate before fleeing, soon followed by the remaining Shimis.
"…" Silence filled the air as everyone attempted to register what happened which was broken when Kenzan's armour disappeared.
"That Megid…..was attempting to steal a Holy Sword?" Blades asked as he, Sebela and Cortana removed their own own armour.
"It would seem so….." Reika responded, a small frown appearing on her face.
"That's something new, isn't it?" Alyssa asked, causing Rintaro to nod his head in response.
"You certainly going to get an earful from Mr Daishinji." Fillon commented, causing Kenzan to start whimpering.
"So this is one of those swords that the Magic Knights of the Sword of Logos wield." a male voice commented as he and the others stand around Hayate.
The group of people wear the same clothes, white robes and masks that resemble Devil faces.
"Yes. And now the next step in our plans." Another of the masked people spoke, this time in a female voice.
And there we go, the four Kamen Riders, plus merchant, encounter more powerful versions of the Shimis along with a two-headed dog Megid who has managed to steal one of the Holy Swords...Rin will certainly gain an earful from Tetsuo.
In Gotchard:
1) Whilst Gotchard and Majade continue to fight Germain, along with managing to retreat, Spanner continued his battle with Clotho which involved him summoning the black flames. Gigist appeared and offered Spanner to train him to use the black flames to their full potential, but Spanner refused. With (EX)Nijigon, who is troubled about his future, he ran into a dancer who is also seemed troubled.
2) Whilst this was happening, the gang ran into two delivery people who commented about seeing (EX)Nijigon, who even helped them before they search led them to a concert where (EX)Nijigon was helping with the performance.
3) The gang sensed Germain approuching their location where Gotchard, Majade and Valvard fought him and even managing to defeat him. Atropos then made her presence known before inserting the gold rubix cube into Germain, resulting in the resurrection of Geryon.
And there we have it, one of the Dark Kings have been defeated and Geryon makes his reapperance, still ambitious of covering the world in gold. I wonder how the two remaining Dark Kings will react since the main reason for Geryon's creation is to open the Door of Darkness, so Gigist and Gaelijah will likely be keen on enliminating Geryon. However, since Geryon has taken the body of Germain, he won't be easy to take down.
With Gotchard's movie, the main villian of "Future-Daybreak" will be a future version of Geryon who will transform into Kamen Rider Dorado. With Gotchard-Daybreak, he will obtain a power-up form known as Gotchard Shining-Daybreak.
Please review and until next time.
howard576:
1) Yes, the manga simply ignored showing the citizen's behaviour from the after effects of the elf invasion, and even the trial was pushed to the side, briefly being mentioned at the start of the final arc. From the look of things, the Devil-banishers/Devil-Believers have their sights on the Holy Swords of the Sword of Logos.
2) I suppose that, most likely during the final battle, the powers that Clotho is wielding will burn through her life force and with Greyon, if his powers are directly derived from the Dark Kings, then it would certainly makes sense if the three of them can easily capture a Level 10 Chemy.
brave kid: What do you want to talk about?
Caballero Lector rojo: Well just have to wait and see what the Magic Knights will get up to through the next six mounths of preparations.
