A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

"Damn it, have Mezier and the others gone mad?!"

Anku cursed loudly.

Are Mezier and the others crazy?

Just how many desires would it take to create this number of Devouring Monsters?

Anku could, of course, tell that these Devouring Monsters were created by Mezir. Although they had the characteristics of the Uvan and Gamer Devouring Monsters, the main part of these Devouring Monsters was still Mezir's aquatic Devouring Monster.

Only with Mezir as the main body could so many Devouring Monsters be created.

Anku had simulated it in his mind, and he roughly knew what Mezir did: to absorb some of the core coins of Ufan and Gamer to obtain some of their properties.

"Gamer's maximized growth and Ufan's rapid growth?"

To generate so many Devouring Monsters in such a short time is something only Mezir could achieve as the main entity.

No matter how many other Core Medals it absorbs, and no matter what percentage of the Core Medals the Maker itself possesses, the Glutton's primary element is always the Maker.

Features do not coexist, but rather take effect sequentially.

Like Mezir, who absorbed the core coins of Uvan and Gamer, the order in which the Devourer's abilities manifest is: nest building, then rapid growth and maximum growth potential.

"No matter what, this number is just too outrageous. Are you kidding me?"

Given Eiji's current condition, he simply cannot handle this number. He has been fighting continuously for the past few days without any time to rest, not to mention that he has been using combos in these battles. Is this idiot Eiji really not afraid of death?

It wasn't just a matter of combat strength; he also discovered that the Cell Coin was being pulled into the sea, as if something was brewing beneath the surface. He had a bad feeling.

Just then, an octopus-like monster climbed up the cliff edge, and Ankur revealed his true form, punching it off the cliff.

But then, a second and a third Devouring Monster appeared.

"Damn it, Oi, Eiji, we have to retreat, or we'll be wiped out."

Although the distance was far, OOO's hearing was enhanced, so Eiji was able to hear Ankh's words.

"Yada! (No!) I will absolutely not retreat. I must stop the Devouring Monster here. Anku, you go first."

The fifty Eiji shouted the same thing almost at the same time: the current situation is that a large number of Devouring Monsters are coming ashore. If he retreats here, these Devouring Monsters will enter the city, and the city will be frantically destroyed by them.

War, death, displacement, eternal separation, and the hand that can't be grasped—he no longer wanted to see such things. This time, he would do everything in his power to reach out and do what he could.

"Sonobaka! (You idiot!)"

Anku cursed, but he was helpless. In the current situation, he couldn't possibly abandon Eiji and leave alone.

Putting aside the fact that Eiji still has his own Core Medals that he can't lose, just considering Eiji himself, finding another human who can use the OOO Driver is not that easy.

Without OOO, I have no way to collect coins.

"Damn it!"

Ankh slapped one of the Devouring Monsters to the ground, then kicked the one that was about to peek out to the ground twice. Ankh then pulled out three coins.

"oi, Eiji, use this."

Even though there were fifty Eiji, Ankle precisely tossed three golden coins to them.

Eiji trusted Ankh's judgment very much. He caught the three coins, then decisively withdrew his clone. With his hand speed and superhuman willpower, he overcame the momentary fatigue to complete the transformation and then transformed back into the Combo.

"Lion! Tora! Cheetah! LaTaLaTa~～LaTorarTar!"

Kamen Rider OOO, Lion, Tiger, and Leopard Combo.

The moment the unit formed, Eiji roared to the sky. With his roar, an extraordinary light emanated from OOO, accompanied by an extraordinary heat.

All the Devouring Monsters within a 20-meter radius exploded into a pile of coins under the high temperature and intense light, and even the surging seawater vaporized in an instant.

The Devouring Monster in the sea also lost its ability to maintain its body and exploded into Cell Coins.

Goto was completely stunned by what he saw. The intense light was blinding even from a distance, and the scorching heat was unbearable even with the ixa shielding it. "Is this the true power of OOO?"

This power surprised not only Goto, but also the three greedy individuals observing from the shadows. If they were within the attack range, they would probably have a hard time withstanding this attack.

They just couldn't understand why OOO could exert more power with only three coins than they, the greedy ones, who had six or seven coins.

Even a Kazali with seven coins couldn't possibly possess that.

The instant the attack ended, Ankh jumped off the cliff. At the same time, Eiji stopped roaring, fell backward, and his transformation ended.

Eiji had already lost consciousness.

Ankur directly took the coin out of the driver and absorbed it into his arm.

There's also Eiji's own Core Medal and Bug-type Medal.

Only the lion, tiger, and mantis coins were left for Eiji.

Then, Ankh picked up Eiji and prepared to leave.

There are just too many Devouring Monsters. If Eiji keeps fighting, he might really die. In that case, it's better to let this guy use the Cat Combo.

This would both clear out a wave of Devouring Monsters and completely exhaust his stamina, making it easier for me to take him away.

"Where are you going, Anku!"

Three figures appeared not far in front of Anku, completely blocking his escape route.

Seeing the sudden appearance of Mezir, Uvan, and Gamer, the three Devouring Monsters, Anku cursed under his breath. He knew that the reason these three hadn't appeared was because they wanted to use the Devouring Monsters to wear down Eiji, and then take the opportunity to come out and steal the Core Medal.

He knew this, which is why he wanted Eiji to leave, but unfortunately, that guy was an idiot. He refused to leave no matter what, so he thought of using underhanded tactics to see if he could take Eiji away.

Now it's all good, none of them can escape.

"Mezier, what's wrong with you? Absorbing other types of Core Medals, aren't you worried about losing control?"

“Anku, don’t worry about things getting out of control. Just hand over the Core Medallion, and I might spare your life out of consideration for our past relationship.”

Anku sneered, grabbing Eiji with one arm and pointing at Meziel with the other.

"Mezier, when did you learn those human tricks? Friendship? Did we ever have any friendship in the past? Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

“Anku, we gave you a chance but you didn’t take it. In that case, we’ll do it ourselves. First, we’ll get your coins back, and then we’ll go find that guy.”

Upon hearing this, Anku's eyes darted around, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

“That guy… Mezir, Ufan, and Gamer, if I’m not mistaken, all three of you have coins with him, right?”
