But what really made them nervous was not just the sense of oppression from Fortress of Extinction. The bigger problem was the pitiful crying look of the elf being held by Shut.
"Hahaha, Pretty Cure, it's so funny that you can only watch but can't do anything!"
"You are obviously despicable, but you still dare to mock others!?"
The unwillingness to be aggrieved naturally filled the girls' hearts, but Fortress of Extinction didn't understand their feelings at all. The huge tentacles that danced wildly stretched out from behind and turned into whips falling from the sky and lashed directly at the girls below. Even if they narrowly avoided it at the last moment, the huge force still cracked the ground with terrifying traces.
"If you can't fight back...!"
Pretty Cure was afraid that the other party would harm this elf and was restricted everywhere, so he had to passively dodge Fortress of Extinction's attacks. But Fortress of Extinction No matter what they were thinking, every blow from a monster with such powerful power was like plowing the land, making them feel great pressure for a while.
"Precure—! How could that happen!?"
The purification skills that had always been invincible in the past lost their effect for the first time in front of them. When the attacks mixed with their respective lights were blasted towards Fortress of Extinction, they were hit back with equal energy. The ripples caused by the two colliding with each other in the air almost blew Kirara and Nan down on the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fortress of Extinction, who launched an even more violent attack, pushed Pretty Cure back continuously, as if they were encroaching on their living area and were driving them to a dead end!
"If this keeps up, I will win!"
Seeing the great situation now, Shut couldn't help but say hello to himself in his heart. As long as there are hostages, maybe not only Pretty Cure, but even Black Night King can find a chance to defeat him!
"If this continues, we will lose!"
Once again, they narrowly avoided a wide-ranging sweep from the opponent's tentacles. The force that shook the earth made the ugly-looking Princesss have to help each other to avoid falling to the ground.
The current battle is a double drain on their physical and mental strength. Even they themselves don't know how many times they can avoid it in the future.
Chapter 181: Already the King and Something Wrong? (3K chapters)
Dodge, dodge! Dodged Fortress of Extinction's terrifying attack, but was unable to fight back due to fear of the hostages.
Now they are just doing the cha-cha dance with this powerful Fortress of Extinction. If they continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before they are defeated again.
"Kirara, don't be discouraged!"
The situation was even worse than last time. This time, even Towa was not here, there were only two of them, but their hearts were still as strong as ever.
"Believe in Haruka and Towa, they will definitely come!"
Isn't this how we have been fighting?
"Also believe Ash, he will definitely find a way!"
After all, this is his most important citizen, and he will definitely find a way to save it. But before that, let us protect you!
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
However, compared to the strong Pretty Cure, the captured elf could not bear such danger. Surrounded by fear, it started to cry loudly.
"Stop crying and be quiet!"
The other elves all seemed to have wheels under their feet. Taking advantage of their small size, they all disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only this one who was running slowly was caught by him. Wait, if you look carefully...
"Are you saying it's that Locke?"
Although he is now in the form of an elf, Shut still recognizes the similarities between the two at a glance. Does this mean that this elf is Locke's real body?
"W-What on earth did you say, Luoluo?"
Kuroro, who was once Hope Kingdom, only remembers that after getting separated from everyone, he lost consciousness when he was caught by Dyspear. When he woke up again, he was surrounded by a group of unknown elves, who said that they wanted to re-educate it to correct its previous mistakes. It was already timid enough, so it confusedly joined the so-called Black Night Kingdom.
Today we said we went out to play with King, but this happened. The most unlucky thing was that everyone ran away, but I didn't.
"You don't remember what happened to Dysdark at all? Hey - it's all good. You deserve it for bullying me before. Now come and be my shield!"
"Uh-huh-King help me!"
Although he didn't understand the cause and effect at all, as a coward, Kuroro firmly remembered a lesson from senior Black Night Kingdom.
If you encounter difficulties, just ask for help directly from Ash King.
If it is him, he will definitely be able to respond to all voices! Because he is so great and powerful!
He will definitely save me!
"Humph, isn't it too late to ask for help at this time? He won't-"
Shut, who was gaining the upper hand, mocked Kuroro triumphantly and looked away for a moment.
There was a sudden flash of silver light in front of his slightly narrowed eyes, and the scenery in front of Locke quickly retreated. When he took a step forward and turned around to look again, he saw that what he held in his palm was no longer an elf, but a silver blade with wonderful lines all over its body, firmly nailing his palm to the wall behind him.
W-when?!
"That's it!" The two people who saw this scene also looked surprised. "Zanvat Sword!"
"In other words, Ash!"
"Kivat!"
He retracted the throwing action with his hand, leaned over and pushed Machine Kivat's accelerator to the limit. Ash, with a solemn expression, put his hand in front of the bat that had been walking beside him.
"[I bite]!"
Magical lines emerged from both sides of the man's cheeks, and dark flames ignited in his slightly angry eyes.
"Henshin!"
On the motorcycle that was almost integrated with the wind, as the wind shattered the sound of Ruri and the chains, the owner of the speeding motorcycle had transformed from Ash into a dark kiva!
Having completed the classic stage of motorcycle transformation that every Kamen Rider must have, Ash continued to tighten the accelerator while maintaining the highest speed and charging towards the giant monster in front of him. At the same time, he inserted a whistle into the mouth of the kivat on his waist.
"Fortress of Extinction!"
Of course, the giant monster couldn't let go of the little bat that provoked him. The sinful fire of despair struck directly at the locomotive from the keyhole on its face like a meteor falling from the sky. Before that, another black shadow rushed towards the front of the locomotive.
"[Buron Booster (Brawn Booster)]!"
The huge flying Moai dolls surrounded each other like a shield and blocked all the meteors. After the Brawn Booster separated from the center shook off all the flames, they combined with the motorcycle in tandem and turned themselves into a huge collision angle in front of the Ash motorcycle.
What to do next, will there be any other surprises?
After the road leading directly to Fortress of Extinction passed between the girls, the impact of sparks and lightning from Fortress of Extinction knocked the huge monster to the ground!
"Drink!"
In fact, Towa, who had been hiding in the back seat, released his arms around Ash's waist. The red Princess jumped into the air and pulled the "Crimson Violin" on his hand, and brilliant fireworks fell from the sky with blazing flames.
"Pretty Cure Scarlet Illusion (Pretty Cure Red Illusion)!"
While Fortress of Extinction was still on the ground, the fireworks from the bow gathered together into a multi-layered flame barrier. Like an upside-down pot lid, Fortress of Extinction was still struggling to get up on the ground and was pinned down. Even the extra Mars woven into a circle of harmless cradle, catching Kuroro screaming from the sky.
"Yong...Princess Towa?"
"Are you the Locke from before?" Hearing the elf suddenly call out his name, Towa, who also felt familiar, recognized it at once. "Do you actually turn out to be Hope Kingdom's elf?"
It's not just mine, but even such elves are not spared. Dyspear... It's a shame that I kept calling you mom before. How could there be a mother like you in this world!
"Everyone said they all ran away, and only the new one was caught a step too late." Ash, who came closer, rubbed his chin while listening to Towa explain the ins and outs. "Is that so?"
"Uh huh..." I thought Ash was here to blame me, but Kuroro shrank into a ball in fear. "Sorry, I was running too slow."
"It's okay. Didn't you ask me for help?"
Unexpectedly, Ash did not blame it for its unexpected gentleness, but even touched the soft fur on its head.
"As King, isn't it natural to protect the people under your command?"
Besides, this is not something you can do in the first place. If you blame your subordinates for things beyond their abilities, that is proof that only a weak superior will appear.
"But does this guy want to use my citizens as hostages? I really want people to praise him for his courage." Looking at the person who was nailed to the wall, Dark Kiva's mask almost became ferocious to the naked eye.
"I'm sorry Pretty Cure." I originally agreed that he would come as a stepping stone for you, but now it seems that I don't want him to go back alive.
"Also, thank you." Ash stretched out his hand to Nan who sat down on the ground after heaving a sigh of relief.
Thank you for protecting me.
"A special thank you or something. We're not that different between us, right?" Kaito Minami took the hand extended by Ash and stood up again, with happiness written all over his face. "But I accepted it because it's rare, so I'm very happy."
"I also take back the words I used to scold you."
Kirara also smiled proudly. There is nothing more satisfying than watching the person you like continue to "grow" like this.
"Now Ash, I think he will become a good king."
They are getting closer to the Princess adults depicted in their dreams, and Ash is becoming more and more like a noble king. This is the relationship between the two who support each other and move forward.
So when the current Pretty Cures look at the current Ashs, they feel a little... well, a little relieved.
"If HaruHaru were here now, I don't know what she would happily say~"
"Hahaha~" Although he didn't know what happened, Ash, who was suddenly praised so much, accepted the compliments without any humility. "No matter what, I am the king who is loved by everyone, so it is only natural that I will be so powerful..."
However, there is one thing that even Ash hasn't told them yet.
You have always held important "dreams", and I seem to understand to some extent.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late!"
This really means Princess Princess arrives! The smiling Ash even waved to say hello to the belated Haruno Haruka. At the same time, he saw Nanase Yui and...Saya following behind him?
Hey, why did she come here? Although she is your friend, is it okay to let her see the transformation? Isn't it your idea to keep your true identity secret?
"Thank you for leading the way, Saya!"
I don't know what happened just now, but Haruka and Saya, who were preparing to provide support, got lost. Fortunately, Saya's guidance was as reliable as ever!
"You're welcome." The smiling red-haired girl responded very naturally. "Isn't it the same as before? We are friends."
"That's right!"
When Haruka nodded with the same smile, the memories seemed to float before him. After meeting a transfer student and becoming friends, he accidentally witnessed the transformation and chose to keep it a secret. He has been accompanying them to witness their Pretty Cure battle to this day.
We are obviously facing a very dangerous Dysdark, but he can always help us as a friend as he can. He is really a good partner!
"The enemy is so big this time!" Surprised that Fortress of Extinction was much larger than Fortress of Despair, Wei was a little hurried and wanted to bring out IXA Knuckle to help. "I'll come too—"
"No, your job is to take care of it." Just before taking it out, Ash helped her push it back and blocked her mouth. "No objections are allowed, this is King's order!"
It's obvious that there will be painful side effects, but she's really working hard as a maid. Well, let's give her a promotion when we get back.
"I know, I will protect it like Saya-classmate..."
A slightly disappointed Wei left with Saya on the other side. Looking at their backs, Ash's eyepiece seemed to be glowing slightly.
Chapter 182: The guy who wields his tender heart and reveals his evil fangs (5K chapters)
"Well..."
Behind the faint green crescent moon, Ash's eyes occasionally drifted to Saya who was mingling with everyone on the other side as if nothing had happened. Whenever their eyes met, Saya always responded with a gentle expression on his side.
"What's wrong, Ash-sensei?"
She seemed to be very familiar with everyone, including her own relationship. Hiss... could it be that I, the Crimson King, skipped the previous plot chapters and missed the plot?
Ash would rather doubt others or even the whole world than doubt himself. But before Saya smiled, Ash didn't want to think the worst of her.
After all, I don't hate her. It would be better to say that before the "gentleness" she showed, I liked her inexplicably.
"Saya, the enemy this time is very powerful!" The ripples of water held up from Nan's hand blocked Saya and Wei, blocking the aftermath of the previous attack for them. "Just stay a little further away."
"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
Whether it's Saya who bows to thank you or Pretty Cure who talks about caring, everyone seems to be completely familiar with each other~ Well, forget it, don't think too much.
Besides, even if there are any problems, is there anything that my invincible "throwing tiles" can't solve? After all, I am the one with the power, hahaha~
What could be wrong? Now Ash is very optimistic.
"Saya-classmate! This way, this way!"
Holding Kuroro in their arms, Saya and Nanase Yui were the only ones running in the opposite direction to meet Puff and the others who had been waiting for a long time.
"The enemy seems to be particularly powerful this time. It's great that you are all okay Puff!"
"Is this Kuroro?" Seeing an acquaintance held in Wei's arms, Aroma was also surprised. "It's great to be able to save it too!"
"Yeah, that's great!"
Saya, who was rejoicing with everyone, had a gentle smile on his face. Then, when his seemingly innocent gaze passed over them and glanced at Shut who was nailed to the wall at the other end, the girl's calm and gentle expression was as distorted as a ghost descending at this moment.
