Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

"boom!"

The mechanical defense soldier was hit and instantly destroyed.

It turned into a pile of broken copper and scrap iron.

"Is it capable of absorbing and even rebounding enhanced attacks?"

Himuro Gentoku clearly realized how troublesome this ability was.

They did not use the Nebula Smoke Gun to continue the attack.

If he does that, it will only cause him energy loss.

"Since ranged attacks aren't working, let's try melee combat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Himuro Gentoku suddenly charged forward, his speed exploding.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Luo Yuan, his power reaching an astonishing level.

Several mechanical defense soldiers that were closer to Luo Yuan also launched an attack at the same time.

"Want some close combat? Then let's have some fun."

Luo Yuan silently watched as Ice Chamber Illusionary Deeds attacked.

X's strength isn't just in his diverse skill sets; his melee abilities are also quite formidable.

The X Blades in his hands slashed out, unleashing a dazzling light blade strike.

As the light and shadow swept by, the mechanical guards who had been attacking suddenly stopped.

The next moment, X-shaped marks appeared on the bodies of the mechanical guards.

Some were missing limbs, and some were even cut in half at the waist.

This was followed by a series of explosions, and several more mechanical defense units were instantly reduced to scrap metal.

Luo Yuan did not stop moving; the power on the sword blade increased once again.

It collided violently with Himuro Gentoku's fist.

The two were within the blast radius, yet remained completely unaffected.

Sparks flew everywhere as the blade clashed with the fist.

Both sides unleashed power far exceeding the limits of the Ferocious Striker.

"Virtual Barton Loading"

"Barton Red Flame Jet"

When the forces of both sides collide.

The light of the data flickered, forming a bird-head-shaped piece of equipment on Luo Yuan's left arm.

Crimson flames shot out from it, striking Himuro Gentoku directly in the chest.

Himuro Gentoku, who was doing his best to block X's transcendent light blade slash, almost couldn't react in time.

Almost instinctively, he dodged while simultaneously blocking the oncoming flames.

Forced to withstand the flames spewed from the bird-head-shaped jet, his body was forced to retreat uncontrollably.

Looking at the spots where the flames had struck his arms, they were now completely charred black.

"So strong!"

Himuro Gentoku couldn't help but sigh.

Finally, I felt relieved.

The man standing in front of him now is this man.

Even if he possessed immense power, it wouldn't be surprising.

Himuro Gentoku, having recovered from his shock, even felt that the power Nexter was currently displaying was somewhat underwhelming.

I feel like I have the ability to fight him.

"Is it because of the new form that it cannot be perfectly controlled yet, resulting in a decrease in power instead of an increase?"

In an instant, Himuro Gentoku had a rough idea in his mind.

His eyes were fixed on Luo Yuan, and he even seemed a little excited.

Since his strength increased dramatically, even Kiryu Sento and Saruwatari Kazumi have been unable to break through his defenses.

There's really no point in fighting.

The only one who could defeat him, Nexter, was far too powerful.

The Zero form that had previously completely overwhelmed him was clearly not on the same level of power.

From beginning to end, all he got was to be pinned to the ground and hammered.

Despite giving it their all, they couldn't even leave a mark on him, just like when Kiryu Sento and the others faced them—they had no power to resist.

On the contrary, it was the form that Luo Yuan was using now that aroused Himuro Gentoku's fighting spirit.

The danger level is influenced by the beliefs and emotions of its owner.

Is it possible for him to defeat Nexter in this form today?

Even though it was only a very slim possibility, Himuro Gentoku couldn't help but feel excited.

Chapter 100: The Wildfire - The Phoenix's Fury

Noticing the strange gaze cast by Himuro Gentoku beneath his mask, Luo Yuan felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Huh? I've been... underestimated?"

Although he didn't know what that look contained, Luo Yuan had a strange feeling about it.

How could X-Beyond, who could fight and even suppress the Martian queen Bernaju, be weak?

X's initial focus was not on power, but on technology. However, this doesn't necessarily mean he will be weak; at most, he will be slightly inferior to Orb's form.

Luo Yuan has currently only managed to control his power at a level roughly equivalent to that of Himuro Gentoku.

If it were to go all out, given Himuro Gentoku's current strength, a rough estimate would be that he would be defeated in a single exchange.

But to my surprise, after suppressing him to a level similar to his, I was still underestimated.

"In that case, let's increase our strength!"

Thinking this, the power within Luo Yuan's body, which had been relatively calm, suddenly erupted.

The previously slightly dim rainbow stripes and energy timer on the body's surface also became brighter.

not far away.

Himuro Gentoku and the Three Crows also noticed the changes in Luo Yuan, their expressions varying.

What's going on here?

Something seemed to have changed about Nexter; his aura suddenly increased several times over, like a lamb turning into a tiger.

Your strength has increased?

As Luo Yuan's momentum continued to rise, the pressure on Himuro Gentoku also increased dramatically.

We can't wait any longer.

If he didn't make a move now, he even doubted whether he would lose the courage to fight him.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Himuro Gentoku said coldly, forcibly suppressing the unease in his heart.

Without hesitation, I pressed the Activate Trench on the squeeze drive.

The crocodile-cracked energy bottle was squeezed, and its components poured in.

"Crack Up Finish!"

The purplish-black energy continuously gathered and boiled within Himuro Gentoku's right fist.

He took a step forward, and his speed exploded instantly.

The powerful finishing move, capable of crushing a single ferocious striker in one blow, was launched directly at Luo Yuan, who seemed to still be recovering from the power enhancement.

Despite his lack of martial ethics, Himuro Gentoku had a strange feeling that this was his only chance to win.

Before the humanoid beast in front of them could revive.

Himuro Gentoku was prepared to lose from the start, and he didn't hold back at all when he attacked.

Simply because the enemy is that terrifying, suffocating monster.

He felt he had no right to show leniency or go easy on anyone.

Without a doubt, Himuro Gentoku unleashed his full power without holding back.

However, there are many things in this world that you can't guarantee success just by trying your best.

Just as the fist was about to strike Luo Yuan, the sword that had been stuck in the ground after preventing Himuro Gentoku from killing the three crows moved.

The X Blade appeared in front of Luo Yuan without warning, blocking the attack.

"boom!"

The ear-piercing roar echoed throughout the warehouse.

The light shone brightly as Luo Yuan held the Xerox Blade that was blocking his way, his body remaining completely unshaken.

On the other hand, Himuro Gentoku's expression was completely frozen; his full-force attack couldn't even scratch him.

Their strength has increased.

And it's not just a little bit.

Just a few minutes ago, he was able to confront Luo Yuan head-on and clash with him.

Now, in just a few seconds, Himuro Gentoku felt a huge gap, as if separated by the sea and the sky.

His full strength was no match for the monster before him, not even the slightest bit.
