Chapter 473 Professional Matching
"boom--!!!"
The clear and penetrating electronic sound effects did not seem to come from the outside world, but rather seemed to resound directly in the consciousness of all the attackers!
A crimson shockwave, like a supernova explosion, burst violently from the center point that had been engulfed by the attack, without any warning!
All attacks that came into contact with this shockwave were instantly dissolved and annihilated, as if they had never existed!
Those ninja soldiers who rushed forward were violently repelled by this invisible repulsive force, staggering backward, and the encirclement collapsed instantly!
The next second, the light rapidly contracted and condensed.
A figure slowly straightened up amidst the dissipating aftershocks of the attack and the still lingering magenta aura.
Kamen Rider Decade – His full-body armor, a blend of magenta and black, gleamed with a cold luster in the dim light of the antique shop. The black and white cross on his chest seemed to contain the power to suppress all chaos, and his green compound eyes calmly swept over the surrounding wrecked battlefield and the bewildered, dark green enemies.
He maintained a composed posture, as if he had just completed his transformation and was slightly stretching his shoulders and arms.
The devastating attack just now seemed to be nothing more than fireworks providing a backdrop for his magnificent transformation, leaving not even a scratch on his armor.
However, Riley did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he focused his attention slightly inward and tried to activate the special connection within his body that was linked to the "Shadow Kingdom".
Invisible spiritual tentacles spread out like ripples, attempting to connect with the ninja soldiers before them who obeyed the Holy Lord's command and whose postures had clearly changed, instilling in them mandatory commands to "stop," "retreat," or "defect."
Initially, the connection was established smoothly.
He could "touch" the cold core of these ninja soldiers and sense the violent demonic energy belonging to the Holy Lord, the fire demon, mixed in with the shadow energy that drove them.
However, when his commands attempted to override and rewrite its underlying operational logic, an equally powerful, even more primal demonic will descended like a sturdy gate, firmly resisting his mental infiltration!
Two wills clashed and rubbed against each other fiercely on an invisible level!
Riley didn't feel overwhelmed, but rather stalemated.
Ultimately, the Holy Lord's control over the ninja soldiers stemmed from his theft of Tara's authority.
Riley's control was achieved by replicating Shendu exactly as he was, using methods recorded in the Complete Book of Demonic Spells.
For this reason, Riley and Shendu cannot be considered the true masters of the Shadow Legion; at most, they can only be considered "representatives" with equal authority.
Then, after Shendu clearly guessed that invading the antique shop would inevitably provoke Riley, he injected his own demonic energy in advance to strengthen the ninja soldiers and further consolidate his control.
Riley couldn't possibly control these ninja soldiers who had turned into green-skinned lizards...
Even if you wanted to do what the two Black Jade sisters did, and use continuous command coverage to render the ninja soldiers in a state of stagnation, it would be impossible!
Worse still, the enhanced ninja soldiers around them seemed to have sensed the brief mental clash that had just occurred and became even more agitated.
Instead of rushing in to attack, they opened their mouths, which were filled with fine, sharp teeth, and scorching flames gathered in their throats, emitting a deep, energetic hum.
Clearly, realizing Riley's formidable nature, they planned a massive, all-encompassing volley of flames to incinerate the never-before-seen Crimson Knight, along with the antique shop containing a wealth of precious documents! This would completely sever Riley's access to information about the Eight Demons!
We can no longer allow them to wreak havoc in the real world.
Riley's eyes narrowed, and he raised his left hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together.
The next second, the space where the antique shop was located rippled like the water of a lake that had been gently stirred.
Riley used his finger as a pen, pointing it at the empty space in front of him, and quickly and steadily drew a simple and ancient rhomboid trajectory that contained the profound meaning of spatial folding.
Om-!
A low, resonant sound, like glass being gently tapped, spread out. Starting from the trajectory Riley had taken, the scene before them—the howling ninja soldiers, the chaotic shops, the swirling dust—began to violently distort, fold, replicate, and extend like the reflection of a stone thrown into water!
The walls rise or overlap infinitely in impossible directions, the floor becomes a vertical facade, broken cabinets float still in mid-air, and the source of light becomes strange and inexplicable.
In an instant, Riley and all the dark green enhanced ninja soldiers were stripped out of reality and placed in a bizarre and fantastical mirror space that was completely free from the constraints of the laws of physics and instead followed the will of the spellcaster!
The dramatic change in environment disrupted the rhythm of the ninja soldiers' volley of fire. The jets of fire struck the distorted, folded illusions of the walls, scattering distorted sparks, but failing to cause any effective damage to the space itself.
Their scarlet eyes flickered uncertainly, seemingly confused and uneasy by this incomprehensible environment, and the coordination of their attack momentarily faltered.
"It's much quieter now."
Riley surveyed the battlefield he had created, his tone calm.
In the mirror space, Riley no longer needed to worry about the aftershocks of the battle causing irreversible damage to his father's shop. Furthermore, with his opponent being an undead dark creature devoid of humanity, Riley could unleash his full power and wreak havoc!
However, dealing with these enemies, who are imbued with the Holy Lord's magic and possess both shadow and fire properties...
Even with the "limiter" on Decade's base form, the stats are enough to deal with them...
But in the current special circumstances, Riley's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a more "professionally relevant" and more interesting option.
His right hand reached for the card box at his waist again, his fingertips lightly gliding over a row of cards before finally stopping on the card with a fiery red glow on its edge.
"Since we're in the 'Mirror World,' and you all seem to enjoy playing with fire so much..."
He held the Dragon Rider card up to his eyes, as if performing some kind of ritual, or perhaps displaying it to an unseen audience. Even his words were deliberately paused, as if he were enjoying the oppressive feeling that came with this unhurried demeanor.
"Then it's more appropriate to use this card."
As soon as he finished speaking, his left hand pulled out the drive, and his right hand precisely inserted and pushed the card back in!
"Kamen Ride! Ryuki!"
The exhilarating transformation sound effects, a blend of dragon roars and fiery howls, resounded throughout the distorted mirror space!
Decade's magenta armor decomposed and reassembled in a dazzling red glow, transforming into the blood-red, dragon-patterned silver armor of Kamen Rider Ryuki, a magnificent and imposing figure!
