A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

A fierce battle is taking place on a certain coastline.

Eiji's transformed form, OOO, has become the Stag Mantis Alliance, which splits into a maximum of fifty clones to fight against several Devouring Monsters.

Goto then transformed into IXA Beyond Mode and began a killing spree. He swung the IXA Beyond Holy Sword with all his might, relying solely on numbers and lacking any finesse. With a single strike, he severed the head of a Devouring Monster, shattering it into a pile of cell coins.

Then, the next moment, three Devouring Monsters would surge up. The Devouring Monsters kept pouring out of the sea and could not be killed at all. Goto also discovered that the Cell Coins scattered on the ground were being attracted by some force and flowing towards the sea.

Goto watched as IXA, having fully charged the pressure beyond the Holy Shield, deployed the shield's upper armor and unleashed a cannon shot that landed directly on the sea surface. The explosion blasted a large number of Devouring Monsters into cellular coins, but in the next moment, even more Devouring Monsters would surge ashore. Looking around, the sea was teeming with Devouring Monsters.

Various types of Devouring Monsters, and the key is that these Devouring Monsters are particularly difficult to kill. Even if you surpass ixa, you need to swing your full strength to kill them. Eiji's side is basically just taking a beating.

Based on the abilities of the OOO combo, Eiji's body will be overwhelmed by the excessive pressure when the transformation ends.

"Damn it, what on earth happened!"

Goto cursed loudly.

It all started three days ago, after Jiang Yang disappeared from this world.

The Hongshang Foundation couldn't find Jiang Yang anywhere. Goto suspected that Jiang Yang's disappearance was part of some nefarious scheme and wanted to continue the investigation, but Hongshang Mitsuo said, "It's okay, Goto, just indulge your desires!"

That one sentence actually calmed him down.

Rather than wondering where Jiang Yang went, there are more important things to investigate right now. The greedy people who suddenly appeared in other cities are clearly brewing some kind of conspiracy.

Compared to Jiang Yang, who has not yet caused any trouble, the greedy people who have already posed a threat to the world clearly need to be dealt with more.

He could let bygones be bygones in the past, but now that he had obtained the ixa, even though using this power would make his body feel nauseous, he felt he should do more than before.

So he went to the neighboring city to investigate the whereabouts of the greedy people.

But strangely enough, the Greedy One seemed to have vanished. Nothing could be found, not even the Devouring Monster.

This is very strange.

No matter how good the greedy ones are at hiding, the city's surveillance cameras should have captured their images. Besides, the greedy ones didn't come to the neighboring city for tourism; they must have come to create the Devouring Monsters.

As long as a Devouring Monster is created, it will inevitably unleash the desires of a certain host, so it's impossible for it to remain completely silent.

But the truth is, he found nothing, as if the greedy person had never come to the city.

Goto, of course, would not give up easily and began to investigate tirelessly. Finally, he found a clue and, through the words of a passerby, successfully found a host for the Devouring Monster.

That looks like a voracious monster from Ufan.

Because of the distance, Ankh and OOO had no chance of getting there in time, so after preparing himself to die, he transformed into ixa for the first time to fight.

To his surprise, the Devourer was too weak; after easily defeating it, it only dropped a small number of Cell Coins.

"What is this?"

He had no idea what was happening, but he didn't have time to think about it any longer, because the powerful side effects of ixa were about to hit.

Even Gamel couldn't withstand the side effects, so his body couldn't possibly take it. He was prepared to be crushed, but the pressure he imagined didn't come. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Jiang Yang.

But Goto harbored no resentment, because Jiang Yang's lies made him realize that he wasn't just talking about saving the world.

Now he finally had time to investigate the anomaly at the scene, but just then, the Hongshang Foundation sent a message saying that multiple greedy people had appeared in the city and asked him to return immediately.

Although it felt too coincidental, several places over there had been Devouring Monsters appearing at the same time, and OOO couldn't handle it all by himself, so he had to go back.

Back in the city, he fought against the Devouring Monsters. He found that these Devouring Monsters were very strange, and they didn't look like just any kind of creature, but rather like some kind of fusion beast.

According to Anku, this Devouring Monster possesses the characteristics of three greedy beings: Uvan, Mezir, and Gamer.

This Devouring Monster is even more troublesome than the previous ones. OOO has been using Combos frequently in recent battles, and his body is almost at its limit.

According to Ankh, the three Greedy Ones are likely using the Core Coin's properties to fuse together and mass-produce Greed Monsters. After so many days, their numbers may have reached a terrifying level.

Goto wanted to confront the Greedy One, but the Greedy Monsters appeared randomly in various places in the city every day, which gave him no chance to search for the Greedy One's location.

Every day, I'm already exhausted from riding my bike to eliminate the Devouring Monsters; I simply don't have the time or energy to investigate the Greedy Ones.

The greedy are brewing a major storm, and they know it very well, but they just can't spare the manpower to solve this problem.

They finally managed to send people to investigate, but they always came up empty-handed, as if all their actions were under the control of the greedy.

In other words, there is a mole within our ranks.

But he had no idea who might be the mole.

What are the greedy people planning? What are their goals? Who is helping them? By the time they find out, it's too late.

Kiyoto Maki, along with three greedy individuals, stormed the Kougami Foundation building. Fortunately, Kougami Mitsuo never fully trusted Kiyoto Maki from beginning to end. By the time he realized something was wrong with him, he had already emptied the building of the Cell Coins and Core Coins. Kiyoto Maki only ended up with an empty shell of a building.

Since he couldn't obtain the core coin inside the building, Kiyoto Maki's plan couldn't proceed, so he made a suggestion to the greedy.

As long as the Devouring Monsters are sent to attack the city, OOO will definitely try to stop them. Based on his investigation of Hino Eiji, even if he dies, he would never stand by and watch the Devouring Monsters run rampant.

All you need to do is use the Devouring Monster to consume OOO. Once it's almost depleted, they can come out and collect the coins.

As for Jiang Yang, the Hongshang Foundation currently doesn't know his location, and his belt is in Goto's hands. However, once OOO and Goto are defeated, Jiang Yang won't stand idly by while things unfold. At that point, no matter how strong Jiang Yang is, he'll be helpless against sheer numbers.

The battle began at six in the morning. Ankh smelled a large number of Devouring Monsters and, just in case, had Eiji contact Goto.

At this moment, Anku was standing on a cliff, observing the battle situation below.

Even with the combined power, Eiji was still suppressed. As for Goto, although Ixa was very strong, there were simply too many Devouring Monsters, and he couldn't kill them all. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated.
