The First Kamen Rider
At the border between Qingzhou and Yanzhou, on an inconspicuous watchtower, the sentry suddenly narrowed his eyes and shouted:
Something is approaching from the southwest!
As soon as the words were spoken, the soldiers of the Demon Eradication Department, who were originally resting in shifts, immediately became alert. Apart from leaving two squads to continue watching the direction of the defense zone, the others immediately picked up their weapons and prepared.
Time passed slowly, and the noise from the southwest grew louder and louder. A Strange Shaped Flow Horse rushed out of the woods, carrying a strange man wearing unusual armor.
"Halt!"
Although they had never seen such a strange thing before, the leading Demon Eradication Department sentry immediately let out a loud shout using a technique similar to the Lion's Roar Skill. The sound wave, mixed with Internal Force, exploded out, and the Strange Shaped Flow Horse immediately stopped.
The armored figure strode forward, and when it was less than 20 meters from the watchtower, the sentry shouted again:
"Stop!"
The Armored Monster immediately stopped, emitting a muffled sound.
"Do you have Sword Wielder here? He should know me."
As soon as he finished speaking, before the sentry could announce his arrival, a middle-aged man dressed in a tight-fitting uniform with a magnificent longsword at his waist stepped out from the ranks. He seemed to ponder for a moment before bowing and saying:
"Qian Lin, the Sword Wielder of the Demon Eradication Department Mr. Iron Clothes. May I ask what brings you here?"
"My research has reached a critical juncture, so I plan to go to Qingzhou for further verification," Feng Xue said calmly. Qian Lin, upon hearing this, frowned and said:
"Mr. Iron Clothes, the situation in Qingzhou is very different from that in Yanzhou. Under the current rules, once you enter, you must undergo strict inspection when you come out, regardless of whether you are contaminated or not. Even if you pass the inspection, you will be imprisoned and isolated for a year to ensure there are no problems. If you really need test subjects, I can help you report it. I believe that all the martial arts practitioners in Yanzhou will be happy to help you capture the Demonic Cult Demonic Person."
"No need. You don't have the means to imprison the Demonic Cult Demonic Person. The risk of capturing them alive is too great. I'll go myself." Feng Xue shook her head, not intending to change her mind.
Qian Lin looked at the Mr. Iron Clothes before him and couldn't help but hesitate. This man was the first research talent in two hundred years to figure out how to expel demonic energy that had entered the body. Letting him enter Qingzhou, a place that had become a den of demons, would be irresponsible to the entire world.
"Sir, you might as well wait a few more days. I will report this matter to the Imperial Court and have them send some personnel..."
"No need." Before Qian Lin could finish speaking, Feng Xue immediately rejected his suggestion, saying without any politeness:
"Who knows, will you be the ones protecting me, or will I be the one protecting you?"
Having said that, he mounted his horse again and, with a roar and a thunderous roar, charged straight through the checkpoint.
"This senior... sigh!" Qian Lin sighed, and immediately said to the sentry, "Send two people to Qianyang Post Station to send back the message that Iron Clothes Senior has entered Qingzhou. If anyone sees him again, be sure to verify!"
Feng Xue himself had no intention of causing any disturbance. The main reason he dared to enter Qingzhou, besides the fact that his extremely unorthodox martial arts were prone to accidental injury, was that yesterday he had suddenly condensed a Supernatural Tale Entry, and this Trait, as always, was not the one he was currently creating—
Trait: The First Kamen Rider
Tag: [Hero], [Original], [Orca], [Kamen Rider], [Justice Partner], [Enemy and Ally Share the Same Origin]
Synopsis: The first Kamen Rider to appear in the public eye, symbolizing that the hero from the comic book has stepped into reality, and also opening a new chapter in the history of the Kamen Rider era.
His appearance symbolizes that when facing Weird Tale, humanity can no longer only passively defend itself; humanity has finally gained the power to fight against Weird Tale.
Powers: [Supernatural Tale Nemesis], [Meme Power Buff], [Open Mouth, Close Eyes]
Real World Rules: [Hero Arrives]
Companion Phantom: [Rider Belt], [Knight's Motorcycle], [Rider System]
Although she didn't know why this Trait took half a year to appear on her, judging from the descriptions of "the beginning" and "the start of a new chapter in history," Feng Xue guessed that humans on the other side of the world might have made some big moves.
However, it must be said that this Kamen Rider Trait is second only to "[Yan Country People Know Martial Arts]", and even surpasses "[Libra - Oath Keeper]".
The three powers, in particular, were a real eye-opener for Feng Xue.
The [Supernatural Tale Nemesis] ability, as its name suggests, is incredibly powerful. Simply put, it grants Feng Xue a damage bonus against all Weird Tale. However, this ability requires Feng Xue to fight continuously; the more Weird Tale defeats, the stronger the ability becomes. Currently, Feng Xue hasn't killed many Weird Tale, so it's only at a 1.5x critical hit rate. But with more battles against Weird Tale, it's entirely possible that it could become as overpowered as [Dragon Beast Nemesis], where a single touch results in instant death.
[Meme Power Buff] is an ability that tests your fandom. When you perform actions that align with Kamen Rider memes, you'll receive corresponding bonuses. For example, if you break your cane to swear allegiance, the enemy will definitely accept it; if an enemy asks "Who are you?" and you say, "I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by, remember that," you'll inflict a debuff on them; or if you say "It says it's time to go," you'll gain a special attack against your father, and so on.
However, from some perspectives, it can't be considered a purely positive buff, because some of the jokes can cause your combat power to drop. For example, when you're exchanging punches, kicks, or other physical contact with someone, and someone is taking a picture or recording a video from a distance, and Feng Xue happens to be on the left side of the shot... Heh.
Compared to the two powers mentioned above, Feng Xue still prefers this third power the most.
Although the name "[Open Mouth, Close Eyes]" sounds a bit like a joke, its practicality is actually quite good. Its effect is simple: when Feng Xue is in her transformed state and receives a potentially fatal attack, she will exchange the transformation state for a moment of damage immunity in exchange for a posture of Open Mouth, Close Eyes, and falling to the ground. Combined with the Saint's Training Clothes, it can be considered a low-end instant-death resistance in a sense.
Compared to power, the Real World Rules seem rather conventional. [Hero Arrives], as the name suggests, means that when a hero is needed, Feng Xue can descend to the past.
Overall, however, it is at least better than the [Compilation] Mo Ju, the Martial Transmitter, who is practically a corporate slave.
As for the Companion Phantom, it's unclear whether it's due to insufficient compatibility between 22nd Century toys and the Kamen Rider System, or because Kamen Rider himself has a unique set of behavioral logic. In any case, the All Omni-Press Drive wasn't assimilated into a unique Weird Tale like the Orca Pillow; instead, it generated three additional exclusive Phantom Object for him.
However, in terms of ability, Feng Xue felt that she had indeed come out ahead.
Regarding this Anti-Addiction, it's reasonable that detecting environmental danger shouldn't trigger its removal, but this is a Phantom Object based on a pre-set setting, and the protagonist doesn't know if it actually has this function.
So here's the question: are you brave enough to bet?
Is it possible for this thing to maintain its equipment status after detecting danger?
What if it actually cancels it out? Wouldn't you be dead?
Conversely, once you leave the dangerous state, it will naturally dissipate, which means you can't experiment.
Since the protagonist doesn't dare to gamble, he will strictly adhere to the time limit.
Furthermore, the Blue Fatty props themselves are unreliable. Swimming fans, you know? Some Blue Fatty props are so dangerous that they can even cause someone to drown in the dirt if you're not careful. So, it's really hard to say what will happen with these things.
