Mo Xuan was not so much terrified as he was filled with astonishment. The monster in front of him seemed to be a variant of a Dullahan. It's just that the previous Dullahan had a right-hand sword and left-hand shield structure, while the current Dullahan Plus had the appearance of holding a greatsword in both hands. It seemed to have completely given up on defense and had all turned to offense.
"Fairy, what's the situation?"
Mo Xuan asked with a grave expression. Facing an unknown situation, he chose to ask first. And the only person he could ask was Fairy. Her existence was an encyclopedia. Even if she didn't know, she could immediately search for it.
"Warning. I have not seen this scene in the searchable confidential records of the Hollow. Speculation one: the Hollow knows it is about to perish and has used its final instinct to gather all the Ethereals to form the monster in front of you. Speculation two: the Hollow has developed a slight self-awareness, and it is saving itself. Speculation three: it regards you as an enemy."
Fairy's calm voice came through the earpiece. Although it was a bit intermittent, the communication could still be maintained.
"I've never heard of a Hollow evolving. Is this reasonable?"
Mo Xuan was not okay. He had originally thought that this associated Hollow was just an ordinary existence like before. He didn't expect it to fight a desperate battle by gathering Ethereals, completely abandoning quantity for quality. As for why it had chosen Mo Xuan as its opponent, it was very likely that the Hollow's little self-awareness knew that he was the most difficult to deal with.
There was no time to think much. The dual-wielding Dullahan had already charged at Mo Xuan. After its sprint, the cement ground cracked with several cracks. It could be seen how much force its lower limbs exerted when it pushed off.
"Henshin!"
The Blay Buckle instantly appeared on Mo Xuan's waist. The Rouze Card was already inserted into it. Mo Xuan pulled and turned the buckle, flipping the Rouze Card to the inside.
[Turn up]
A cold mechanical voice came. A wall of energy shot out from the Blay Buckle. The dual-wielding Dullahan crashed into it head-on, and its body was quickly bounced back. Its intelligence was still not high, and it couldn't judge that the energy wall was the same as a wall. Taking advantage of the gap when it was sent flying, Mo Xuan also rushed towards the energy wall. After passing through, his transformation was complete. His right hand quickly drew the Blay Rouzer from the side of his thigh and slashed at the dual-wielding Dullahan's head.
The dual-wielding Dullahan raised the dual swords in its arms to cross-block the slash. And at this time, Mo Xuan had already raised his right leg and kicked forward. A strong kick of nearly five tons landed on the dual-wielding Dullahan's chest. A wave of air spread around. What was surprising was that it was not kicked away but had withstood it at the cost of a dented chest plate.
Mo Xuan was not surprised. The moment the dual-wielding Dullahan appeared, he knew that this was an Ethereal that was more powerful than the Dead End Butcher. Absorbing the power of all the Ethereals in the Hollow had brought it endless power. Conversely, as long as it died, the associated Hollow in front of him would definitely disappear.
In a flash of thought, the dual-wielding Dullahan had already blocked the sword in Mo Xuan's hand with one hand. After freeing its other hand, it slashed its long sword towards his chest and abdomen. Mo Xuan immediately dodged sideways. His left hand seemed to have stroked the sword body. At the same time, he swung his sword and slashed at the black hole on the Dullahan's head. It instinctively raised its arm to block, but Mo Xuan's sword seemed to have penetrated its arm and instantly slashed at the Dullahan's head.
The Dullahan was stunned. Its emotions expressed confusion. It wasn't that Mo Xuan's sword had become illusory. In fact, it was that the sword speed was too fast, causing the Dullahan to misjudge, thinking that it could block this sword speed.
[Mach (Cheetah)]
Only then did the sound effect of swiping a card come from the Blay Rouzer. Just now, Mo Xuan's left hand had secretly hidden a Rouze Card and had taken the opportunity to swipe it in during the battle. The Cheetah card brought a speed bonus, which was why he could swing that almost space-penetrating sword.
'ROAR!'
The dual-wielding Dullahan did not die from the attack. Although its weak point was hit, it was still some distance from being life-threatening. When it was threatened, the color of the black hole on its head gradually turned red, as if it were red-hot. After letting out a roar that a human could absolutely not make, it swung its arms down at Mo Xuan in a dual-sword diagonal slash posture.
Mo Xuan dodged these two powerful slashes, but two crossed white marks appeared on his knight's chest armor. Although it was some distance from being broken, it was enough to make him astonished. Because he had not been directly hit by the dual-wielding Dullahan's attack, but it had become like this just by being scraped. After this guy got angry, its power had risen to another level.
The dual-wielding Dullahan had now turned into a dual-wielding mad dog. It completely abandoned its defense and bit at Mo Xuan. Its dual swords were its claws and fangs. Although Mo Xuan also counterattacked, its skin was thick and its flesh was tough. It was willing to take damage to trade injuries with Mo Xuan. The knight system was not invincible. When encountering an evenly matched opponent, it was very easy to have your transformation broken. So he did not dare to bet on whether his defense was strong enough. It was better to avoid when he could.
Mo Xuan was in a series of perilous situations under the suppression of the dual-wielding Dullahan. He understood one thing very well: if he hadn't learned the knowledge from the Wonder Ride Book yesterday, he would probably be in a bad way today. For the first time, he felt pressure in a battle with an Ethereal. Although part of the reason was that Kamen Rider Blade's original form was not strong, and subsequent forms could not be transformed, this was enough to prove that the Ethereal's strength had risen several notches.
But it was impossible for Mo Xuan to get wrecked. He had a winning trump card hidden in his deck. It was just that it was not yet time to use it. There was only one chance. He had to wait until it was foolproof before he used it.
The sound of weapons clashing came from the air. Every time the sword in Mo Xuan's hand collided with the dual-wielding Dullahan's long sword, a large number of sparks would splash out. These sparks landed on the crimson eyes of Kamen Rider Blade, adding a hint of ferocity to him.
Mo Xuan was preparing to repeat his old trick of hiding a card in his left hand to swipe, but the dual-wielding Dullahan caught this flaw in his swiping. This was really unavoidable. The card had no consciousness of its own. The action of swiping a card was absolutely indispensable. You could only try to hide it as much as possible and omit the action. But between masters, after the dual-wielding Dullahan had been tricked once, of course it would not be tricked a second time.
The dual-wielding Dullahan's sword slashed down and landed on Mo Xuan's left wrist guard. At this moment, he only felt his wrist go numb. Even with the protection of the knight's armor, this kind of force was not something the flesh could withstand. Therefore, his palm loosened, and the Rouze Card representing a deer fell to the ground.
After the dual-wielding Dullahan succeeded in its attack, it was as if a switch had been activated. Taking advantage of Mo Xuan's stun, it performed a continuous slash with both swords. In the blink of an eye, it had swung out countless slashes. These slashes all landed on his chest armor. The hard chest armor did not shatter but was covered in slash marks. Mo Xuan was also sent flying and landed on the ground after the slash ended.
Thanks to the excellent protection of Kamen Rider Blade, Mo Xuan was not seriously injured. But as he was preparing to get up and continue to fight, the corner of his eye saw a figure behind the trunk of a large tree. A person was standing there.
"Hoshimi Miyabi?"
Mo Xuan cried out the person's name in astonishment. The person watching the battle under the tree was the Hollow Hunter, Hoshimi Miyabi. He had said before that she might come, but Mo Xuan didn't expect her to appear at this time.
"Hoshimi Miyabi, help me kill this Ethereal."
Mo Xuan immediately shouted at Hoshimi Miyabi. Although his current identity was unknown, any discerning person could see that he was fighting an Ethereal and was a partner of the human camp. Of course, Hoshimi Miyabi could also see it.
After Mo Xuan shouted, the dual-wielding Dullahan had already rushed in front of him and launched a slash. Because of Hoshimi Miyabi's presence, he was temporarily unable to fight with a clear mind. Because he had something he was concerned about, his sword speed also slowed down.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you just watching?"
Mo Xuan was kicked away by the dual-wielding Dullahan. As he retreated, he saw Hoshimi Miyabi still standing under the tree, unmoving, and subconsciously shouted this sentence.
After shouting, Mo Xuan himself was stunned. He was wondering why this plot was so familiar. This sense of déjà vu was too strong. You have to know, the famous scene of Kamen Rider Blade was the kind that was engraved in your DNA and could never be forgotten.
Mo Xuan had thought before when he got the Blay Buckle that since he was acting alone, he would definitely not meet that fated Tachibana-san. However, the earth is round, and the boomerang finally hit him after he transformed. This person Hoshimi Miyabi had some strange quirks. She would rather OMO than come and help him fight together.
Although there was definitely an inside story, Mo Xuan really wanted to complain. Why could every Kamen Rider Blade meet a fated Tachibana-san? Where did this go wrong?
