A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

"What do you mean?"

Wu Fan had a bad feeling.

"It seems you don't know yet, but that guy, Jiang Yang, the one who stole your Core Medals, isn't from this time."

"What?!" *2

Gamer scratched his head, not understanding.

“That guy is from the future, Ufan. You should know what that means.”

Wu Fan's face darkened (his expression was unreadable in his Greedy form). That guy came from the future, which means that if he took their Core Medals to the future, then their Core Medals would no longer exist at this point in time. They cannot be fully resurrected before they reach that future.

Do you think we'd believe something like that?

"With your brain, what's the point of me lying to you? Think about it yourself. If those powers weren't from the future, but rather creations of this era, do you think you'd still be alive today?"

Although Anku's words were unpleasant, they all agreed with him. Even the dim-witted Gamel knew that if many Ixas appeared, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Not to mention that the guy Mezier mentioned also has an even more terrifying suit of armor, a power that even Mezier fears. If many of them appeared, he wouldn't have the confidence to protect Mezier.

“Ufan, don’t be misled by him. Regardless of whether that guy is from the future or not, what we need to do now is get the core coin from Ankur.”

Upon hearing Meziel speak, Ankh knew he was in trouble. Eiji was currently unconscious and wouldn't wake up anytime soon. Even if he did wake up, his current physical condition made it impossible for him to transform and fight.

Anku could sense that the number of Cell Coins on these three Greedy Ones had reached a terrifying level; just by moving, he could feel that the Cell Coins on their bodies were about to break through their containers and fall out.

Damn it, just how many Cell Medals did these three guys absorb? Are we really doomed this time?

Suddenly, a huge energy projectile flew toward the three greedy ones; it was a barrage of artillery fire from Goto.

A violent explosion occurred, obscuring visibility. Anku held his breath, watching intently. The power of this bombardment was no less than the ultimate attack of a normal Combo OOO. If the opponent took full damage…

Unfortunately, the "no harm from smoke" rule has been proven true this time.

Gamel's body came into Anku's sight. He stood at the forefront to withstand the power of the exploding shell. He seemed to have only been shaken back a few steps by the blast and lost some cell coins.

Anku's pupils contracted sharply.

"How can this be!"

How is it possible that Gamel, who should have the fewest Core Medals in his body, is now displaying stronger defensive capabilities than when he had more Core Medals?

Even Goto didn't expect that the opponent would be almost unharmed by the shelling. Since the start of the battle, he had launched several shelling attacks, and each explosion could easily turn the Devouring Monsters within the blast radius into cell coins.

Why is this greedy person's defense so outrageous?

"Don't you understand, Anku? As long as you absorb enough Cell Medals, even if you don't have enough Core Medals, you can still obtain power comparable to, or even surpassing, Core Medals."

Wu Fan raised his arms. Having lost most of the Core Medals, his body looked extremely, well, barren, but the power he possessed was not to be underestimated.

Two indicators of a greedy person's hard power: the number of core coins and the number of cell coins.

The most important of these is undoubtedly the core coin, which is like the meaning of life for greedy people.

If the core coin is life, then the cell coin is energy. Without the cell coin and without energy, there is no way to become a greedy being.

Their current situation is that they have little life left, but their energy is at its peak.

"You're right, Anku, die!"

Ufan shouted and unleashed a barrage of lightning at Anku and Eisuke. Upon seeing the lightning, Mezir instinctively took two steps back and then manipulated the seawater to form a giant water python that shot towards Anku and Eisuke.

Goto wanted to provide support, but there were too many Devouring Monsters around him, and he couldn't break through the blockade to go to the rescue immediately. It was too late!

Just when Anku himself felt it was too late and his life was over.

Four streaks of light shot out, alternating between gold and white. Four spherical objects, like helmets, opened up barriers around Anku, blocking both Ufan's electric shocks and Mezir's water serpents from advancing.

"What?" *N

Everyone present was astonished. No one expected such a thing to happen. Something that appeared out of thin air easily blocked the attacks of the greedy people. This was simply too unexpected.

"Everyone, it's such a fun party, and you didn't invite me. Isn't that a little unfair?"

A voice appeared in everyone's ears, but no one could tell where it came from. They only saw four helmet-like objects retract their barriers and fly off in a certain direction.

All eyes followed the gaze and there stood atop the high cliff, a noble and elegant unknown suit of armor, primarily white, gold, and sea blue.

Four platinum helmets floated around him.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"What, you haven't seen me for a few days and you can't even recognize my voice? Or do you no longer want your Core Medallion?"

"Jiang Yang?"

Anku was the first to realize the identity of the newcomer. He sensed the familiar aura of the core coin within Jiang Yang's body. However, this core coin seemed somewhat different, so he didn't dare to be certain immediately. It wasn't until Jiang Yang spoke that he confirmed the other party's identity.

Meanwhile, Anku was also cursing under his breath.

What kind of monster is Jiang Yang? Why can he always unleash power beyond reason?

Looking at the bewildered crowd below, Jiang Yang expressed his satisfaction.

Let's go back a little further in time, to the moment when he had just returned to the real world.

He immediately claimed the three items: a durian-shaped locking seed, a thruster, and a twin command debit card.

The thrusters and the Twin Command Deduction are both truly great items, especially the thrusters, which can directly enhance data to an absurd degree, making a basic attack essentially a super move.

The Gemini command-based debit further solved the problem of his inability to fly.

Durian seed lock, well, that's quite subtle.

Then there were two lottery draws.

The first lottery draw yielded the following rewards: Player Driver, accompanying game cartridge (a simulated gacha game cartridge) (unusable due to lack of adaptation surgery).

"Huh? What the heck is this simulated gacha game? Does Exedri even have this game?"

Ah, thank goodness it can't be used. Jiang Yang was really worried that while using it, some guy calling himself "Kami" would appear and say that an unauthorized game needed to be discontinued. Then he'd grab the moon, shouting something like "Time, time, slow down!" and smash the moon in his face.

Second lottery draw.

The prize is a Vision Drive (a custom-made model by Jiang Yang, a genuine Gazer replica).

"Fuck."
