The Crimson Dragon

If the location were different, Raiden Mei might have chatted with her close friend in front of her.

However, the place where the three of them were now was clearly not a place for casual conversation.

Not to mention the Meele downstairs, which were common throughout Changkong City, Kiana could now feel that this dilapidated rooftop was probably about to be scrapped.

"Ahaha, sorry, pretend I didn't say anything."

Looking at Raiden Mei on the ground, Kiana immediately rushed to her side and helped her up.

"Ah, thank you, Kiana..."

After being helped up, Raiden Mei felt her stamina finally recover a little.

Although this recovery wasn't enough for her to move as swiftly as usual, at least Raiden Mei could now move instead of being unable to take a single step.

However, she looked at Gu Yu lying on the ground and frowned slightly.

"But, how do we get him out of here..."

Let alone the fact that the young man in front of her was her savior, even if it were a random passerby lying there, Raiden Mei's innate kindness would never allow her to ignore Gu Yu.

But, Raiden Mei clearly didn't have enough strength to carry Gu Yu away from the rooftop.

"Ugh, my head hurts..."

After helping Raiden Mei up from the ground, Kiana looked at Gu Yu, who was lying on the ground, and sighed in resignation.

"Forget it, you're lucky to have run into me."

Then, under Raiden Mei's astonished gaze, Kiana effortlessly slung Gu Yu's body over her shoulder, just like a construction worker carrying a bag of cement.

"Hmm, he's not that heavy."

Feeling her body sink slightly, Kiana said to a stunned Raiden Mei.

"Let's go, Mei. This isn't a place for chatting anymore."

After quickly rushing down the rooftop carrying Gu Yu, Kiana's usually energetic and playful voice, for once, made Raiden Mei feel a hint of seriousness.

"Hmm... Honkai Beasts, Honkai Energy... Meele..."

As she quickly descended the stairs, Kiana looked at the several Honkai Beasts that had appeared on the school grounds. Although Kiana didn't show a worried expression, she clearly knew in her heart that dealing with these guys was almost impossible for the three of them right now.

Raiden Mei was just a young lady in Kiana's eyes, and Kiana could now see that Raiden Mei's physical condition didn't seem to be very good.

And the young man she was carrying on her shoulder was even less to be expected.

No matter how airheaded Kiana was, she wouldn't expect a comatose young man to suddenly unleash his power and clear out the enemies in front of them.

"Sigh, this is the first time I've encountered these things Dad mentioned. Now it seems that what Dad said, 'Don't be afraid of these guys, just hit them away with a baseball bat,' was just him talking nonsense."

The thought of her unreliable father, 'Siegfried Kaslana,' who had been missing for some time, brought a visible cross mark to Kiana's face.

"Stupid Dad, I really can't count on your advice."

"Um, although I'm very grateful that you saved me from the rooftop, but..."

Gu Yu, who should have remained unconscious on Kiana's shoulder, suddenly said to Kiana.

"I'm fine now, can you put me down?"

Although the girl's soft body felt comfortable to Gu Yu, being carried around on a girl's shoulder...

--No, this is still too embarrassing.

Besides, Gu Yu could now feel that the Knight Emblem engraved on his hand clearly had more abilities than just allowing him to transform.

In the last moment before he fainted, he clearly felt that the Honkai Energy that erupted from the Herrscher of Thunder's awakening on the rooftop was absorbed by the Knight Emblem in his hand after the Herrscher of Thunder reverted back to Raiden Mei.

The reason he fainted wasn't just exhaustion; it was more because his body couldn't immediately digest the Honkai Energy.

Rather than saying he was exhausted, it was more like he was a balloon filled with gas, almost bursting from the gas called 'Honkai Energy.'

"Okay."

Hearing Gu Yu's request, Kiana readily let go of her hands.

Caught off guard, Gu Yu's body immediately fell from Kiana's shoulder and landed on the ground.

"Ouch ouch ouch... Huh? I don't feel pain?"

Feeling the impact on his body, Gu Yu instinctively cried out in pain.

But after a second, he suddenly realized that he didn't feel any pain at all, even though his head had hit the ground.

"Weird, I only slept for a minute, and now I've turned into a hard-headed kid?"

After touching his head, Gu Yu looked at the Knight Emblem in his hand.

At this moment, the Knight Emblem was emitting a faint red glow.

Although the glow was ordinary, Gu Yu, who was closest to it, felt that the glow was somehow not quite right.

"Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on these things."

Glancing at Raiden Mei, who was limping down from the rooftop, and Kiana, who had no reliable weapon in her hand, Gu Yu sighed slightly.

"Other people transmigrate so comfortably, why do I have to fight for the second time in such a short period?"

"The person who wrote this script is definitely sick. They know that a story with a protagonist who gets abused is doomed to fail!"

After complaining, Gu Yu raised his right hand, which was engraved with an emblem.

"Forget it, complaining is useless."

Driven by his thoughts, Gu Yu materialized the Decade Driver at his waist and grabbed a card that automatically popped out.

"Kaslana, please step back a bit."

"Huh? Oh, okay. But, what are you planning to do...?"

"Henshin!"

[KamenRide Decade]

Just as Kiana was about to finish speaking, she saw Gu Yu leap directly out the window.

Under Kiana's shocked gaze, Gu Yu's body was suddenly covered in armor, and a crimson light erupted from him.

"To deal with large monsters, this is what I need."

As he fell towards the ground, Gu Yu took out two cards from his Card Holder.

[KamenRide Ryuki]

"I'll use the monster's power to deal with monsters!"

[AttackRide Advent]

After switching to the crimson Kamen Rider Ryuki form, Gu Yu immediately inserted another card into the Driver.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Raiden Mei and Kiana...

A crimson dragon suddenly broke through space, catching Gu Yu just before he hit the ground, and then stared menacingly at the several Honkai Beasts before him.
