A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

The intense pain caused Jiang Yang to stumble back several steps.

That attack was indeed somewhat unexpected, and since it hit my undergarment directly, although it didn't break through my main defense, the pain was still incredibly intense.

But there was no time to process the pain as the opponent swung a sledgehammer at Jiang Yang.

IXA's defense is high, but not to the point where it can ignore enemy attacks. Jiang Yang doesn't have any special hobbies, and knowing that being hit will hurt, he naturally chooses to dodge.

Each time the warhammer struck the ground, it left a small crater, and each time Jiang Yang hallucinated someone shouting "80!"

After retreating several times, we arrived at the side of the War Lion, and the pain from before had mostly subsided.

"Trying to play dirty, huh? Let's do it again."

This time, he was fully prepared.

When fighting an enemy wielding a weapon, the most important thing to watch is not the weapon, but the enemy themselves. Judge the weapon's trajectory based on their movements. Anticipate the attack's landing point, then dodge with minimal movement and counterattack.

Of course, Jiang Yang doesn't know how to do that yet, but the ixa's built-in computer does. With the assistance of the ixa's built-in computer, even someone who has never experienced combat can demonstrate considerable strength.

Not to mention Jiang Yang, who is now completely familiar with the functions of ixa.

For example, the light on the chest can emit an extremely bright flash, which could cause blindness to an ordinary person simply by looking directly at it.

The intense flash blinded the other person, but they still had to endure the damage.

Such a close-range flash is not just about high brightness.

Even Jiang Yang himself thought the flash was outrageous. Compared to that flash, he felt that the high beams of the Agito were perfectly acceptable.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Yang kicked out, but a weak kick didn't mean it was ineffective.

The kick sent him flying backward. Before his vision could return, the man could only swing the sledgehammer wildly. To be honest, if he had been hit by that sledgehammer, he would probably have been covered in bruises.

The killer whistle is inserted, propelling the fist gun to read the target.

There are three main reasons why people in tokusatsu dramas don't like to unleash their ultimate attack right from the start: firstly, it's necessary for the plot, and secondly, it's not interesting to just instantly kill someone.

The second and third ones are connected. If you use them directly, they are very easy to dodge. Ultimate moves usually consume a lot of energy, whether it's stamina or energy.

If you unleash your ultimate attack prematurely and the opponent dodges it, and by then you've already exhausted too much of your energy and stamina, the consequences are obvious.

Therefore, the simplest solution is to first create a stun effect before using the amplified attack.

Of course, you can also do what I did and use a basic attack to hide a big attack.

Not wanting to be accidentally injured by the warhammer, he prepared to release an energy blast, took out his fist gun, and waited for the right moment.

It's now!

He raised his hand to unleash an attack, but in that instant, a shell flew towards Jiang Yang and hit ixa directly from behind.

The explosion overturned the War Lion, and Jiang Yang was also blown more than ten meters away, rolling several times on the ground, almost rolling off the bridge and into the safe zone.

The violent impact felt like being hit by a car at high speed, and a burning pain started in my back.

Without the IXA, that shell would have been torn to pieces by now.

He got up, his eyes filled with rage. He knew very well that the other party wanted to kill him, but he couldn't tolerate the fact that they had ambushed him.

Yes, it's double standards.

One of them is enough to launch a sneak attack!

Turning his head, Jiang Yang saw another Orphnoch besides the one who had ambushed him earlier. Judging by appearance alone, Jiang Yang wasn't sure what it was. It looked a bit like a scarab beetle, but it didn't matter what it was.

What that guy was carrying was a rocket launcher, a human weapon.

By this time, Niu Aofino's vision had almost returned to normal.

Unlike the fanged vampires, the Orphnochs do not have a particular aversion to light, especially since that guy had just closed his eyes.

In short, the current situation looks very unfavorable to him.

ixa, burst mode activated.

Next, it's going to be a two-on-one situation, so hiding your strengths isn't a good option.

Take out the ixa holy sword. There is an insurmountable gap between hand-to-hand combat and mech combat, especially in one-on-many battles.

Niu Aofino launched the first attack, wielding his heavy warhammer and hurtling towards Jiang Yang with a whooshing sound.

Jiang Yang easily dodged the attack with a sway of his body. At the same time, he followed up with a diagonal slash and an upward thrust of the ixa Holy Sword, which landed on Niu Aofino's arm, leaving two wounds.

His original goal was to sever the arm or cut off the weapon, but the deviation in the point of impact prevented him from achieving this goal.

Just as they were about to attack again, another Orphnoch had already moved – it was the second rocket.

Although ixa's defense was high enough, Jiang Yang's style was not to take damage head-on. He directly used Defensive Descent to grab Niu Aofi-no-Nor and pull him in front of him, while retreating himself.

The rocket hit Niu Aofei and exploded instantly. Just like Jiang Yang had been earlier, Niu Aofei was blown towards Jiang Yang's direction.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Yang inserted a whistle.

"Ixa Ca-li-bu-r Ri-se Up!"

Accompanied by a powerful activation prompt that Jiang Yang couldn't understand at all, energy erupted and concentrated towards the ixa Holy Sword.

Jiang Yang's hand speed was very fast. He completed the charge before Niu Aofi Yinuo landed and took the initiative to move forward, ixa, Holy Sword Judgment.

By the time the seemingly golden beetle Orphnoch realized what was happening, Orphnoch was already engulfed in blue flames, and his body disintegrated within the flames.

ixa Holy Sword, Gun Mode.

He raised his hand, aimed, and fired without any hesitation.

The ixa Holy Sword's hilt is filled with twenty silver bullets, each providing 120 rounds of fire in gun mode, while the gun can achieve a firing rate of thirty rounds per second when the trigger is held down.

The combination of the two can achieve true firepower suppression.

Bullets poured out; although they were specifically designed to attack vampires and not particularly effective against other creatures, they were still dangerous weapons to other beings.

The continuous firing left him with absolutely no chance to fight back.

After consuming the energy of three silver bullets, Naophino stood frozen in place. Once again, blue flames ignited, and Jiang Yang emerged victorious.

The progress bar on the panel has jumped to nine percent, an increase of four percent. Defeating two Orphnochs earns a reward of two, as does winning against overwhelming odds.

With progress reaching level nine, Jiang Yang once again had the chance to spin the roulette wheel, just like when he got the first kill.

He used it directly, the roulette wheel spun, and the result came out quickly as well. However, looking at the other ixa set in his hand, Jiang Yang fell silent.

There are countless special effects props, so why did he manage to draw the same thing twice in a row? Of course, he wasn't saying that ixa was bad, it's just that he already had one of these props, so there was no point in him getting the second one.

"Wait, this is not quite the same."

The second ixa I got is different from the first one; this one is the original belt.
