A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

After falling and getting covered in dust, Jiang Yang got up and saw yet another Orphnoch whose original form he couldn't recognize.

He was about 1.8 meters tall and had a slender build. He had obvious pores on his back. As soon as he stood up, Jiang Yang saw the guy disappear. Then he was thrown away as if he had been hit by a car.

I hit an Orphnoch not long ago, and now I'm getting my comeuppance so soon.

However, Jiang Yang had a rough idea of ​​how this guy moved at high speed.

It achieves high-speed movement by compressing and then ejecting gas through the vents at the back, much like a Gochard ignition injector.

However, he had already encountered high-speed, straight-line movement once before, and he was already experienced in how to deal with it.

...

On the other side, Nishida arrived at the place Jiang Yang had mentioned and discovered the Orphnochs who were slaughtering people. He immediately transformed and joined the battle.

He initially held the upper hand, even unleashing his ultimate attack, but like Jiang Yang, he was ambushed by an Orphnoch hidden in the shadows. Fortunately, Jiang Yang had warned him of the presence of two Orphnoches, and he remained vigilant, thus avoiding being caught off guard.

Because he was constantly distracted and on guard, he was unable to quickly defeat one of the Orphnochs. The battle dragged on for a while, and IXA was on the verge of overload. He had to end the fight before that happened.

Since using the prototype ixa and knowing that the ixa's usage time is limited, Nishida's fighting style has gone further and further down the path of trading blows, striving to deal the highest damage in the shortest amount of time.

He hadn't used his full strength before because he was wary of a sneak attack, but now that all the enemies had come out, all he had to do was go in without worry and wipe them all out.

He jumped back to avoid the sneak attack, and as he landed, he charged forward again, his fully charged fist slamming into the Orphnoch in front of him, shattering half of his body.

Then comes dealing with the second Orphnoch.

His body can still hold up.

But the battle lasted too long. Ixa sounded an alarm. He felt his body being suppressed by something, becoming stiff and unable to move, and he couldn't even dodge the attacks.

Kicked away by Orphnoch, ixa released white steam in mid-air and then deactivated his transformation. After landing, Nishida rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

The intense pain and overwhelming pressure made it difficult for Nishida to even breathe.

The ixa belt fell to the ground, and Nishida gritted his teeth, trying to crawl towards it.

The moment Orphino saw the ixa belt, his eyes lit up. His goal this time was to retrieve the ixa belt. As long as he could bring the belt back, he could become a member of the Lucky Clover.

This is information released by the president. Lucky Four-Leaf Clover is almost the highest level of power that Orphino can reach. It is said that only those who have the approval of all the people in Lucky Four-Leaf Clover can become the president of the Brain Group.

The lucky four-leaf clover now has three vacancies, this is his chance.

He took two steps forward, picked up the ixa belt, thought for a moment, transformed back into human form, and put on the ixa belt. He had seen the entire transformation process of Nishida Kiyotaka, and he knew how to use the belt.

Then, amidst Nishida Kiyotaka's despairing gaze, he transformed into ixa.

"It feels pretty good, the power of the belt, enjoyable, enjoyable, then."

He looked at Nishida Kiyotaka. This guy in front of him had killed his companion. Although he and that unlucky Orphnoch weren't particularly close, they were still of the same kind, so he would reluctantly help him avenge him.

Nishida was already prepared to face death, but two people suddenly rushed out from the corner; it was Shindo Takahisa.

He rushed out, helped Nishida up without saying a word, and then tried to run away.

Naopheno wasn't in a hurry. He wasn't worried about his prey escaping; on the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of toying with his prey.

"Why are you here? Let's go."

Nishida was quite surprised by Shindo Takahisa's appearance, as he had come secretly; Masuda-sensei didn't want him to use IXA continuously. He had also stolen the belt and run away while Masuda-sensei was visiting Inukai.

"And you're asking me why I'm here? You've been sneaking around like this, I had to keep an eye on you!"

"Don't worry about me, just go."

"Stop talking nonsense. I can't escape anyway if I leave you behind. At worst, we'll die together."

He felt quite pleased watching his prey struggle for survival and was about to watch a little longer when a voice appeared in his ear.

"What's this? It looks interesting. Can I borrow it to play with?"

Upon hearing this, he turned around and saw a boy with an afro standing next to him.

"You, you, you,"

After you said those three times, he turned around and ran away.

"How annoying! Why did you run away? Are you unwilling to lend it to me? Don't be so stingy."

"What a joke, what a joke, what a joke, why would I run into him here?"

He had met Kitasaki before and was deeply impressed by Kitasaki's power. No, not only that, he was terrified, terrified of Kitasaki's power.

Run! You have to run!

But after running only a few steps, Kitasaki suddenly appeared in front of him.

"How about I borrow this to play with?"

Kitasaki pointed to the belt.

"No, no, this is the president's task."

"Huh? How annoying! What does it matter? It's such an interesting thing, let me play with it. He won't be angry. Let me play with it."

If I hand over the belt, I'll lose my chance to become a member of the Lucky Clover. But if I don't hand it over, I'll probably get killed, and the belt will still end up in the other person's hands.

Between being beaten to death and surviving, he wholeheartedly chose the latter.

He deactivated his transformation and respectfully handed ixa to the other party.

"Thank you."

Kitasaki took the belt, reached out and patted the other person's face, and saw sand start to fall off the spot where he touched it.

"I... I can go now, right?"

"Wait, since you've already given me the belt, stay and play with me for a bit."

As Kitasaki spoke, he put on the belt and transformed.

Not only Jiang Yang and Nishida, but also Qiao encountered the Orphnoch. However, the difference was that Jiang Yang and Nishida were tricked by the Orphnoch, while Qiao encountered the Orphnoch by chance.

Considering that Keitaro was by his side, this wasn't entirely unexpected.

If we're talking about those who haven't encountered any battles yet, Kusaka is one of them. There aren't any Orphnochs on the AI's side right now, and Murakami isn't there either.

The only problem is that since Jiang Yang infiltrated last time, the AI's security has been greatly enhanced, making it very difficult to sneak in.

With no other option, Kusaka could only create some disturbance elsewhere to attract attention before sneaking in.

On Jiang Yang's side, one Orphnoch after another appeared. He could barely keep up in terms of stamina, but Ixa was already about to give up. The burst mode was putting a lot of strain on Ixa. If the battle continued for more than 30 minutes, Ixa's condition would become very dangerous.

Using powerful abilities frequently will exacerbate this process.

Ixa's stats are already skyrocketing, and if Orphnoch appears next, he's really doomed.

With the final strike of the Holy Sword Judgment, accompanied by the ash-disintegration of Orphnoch, Ixa also disintegrated due to overload. Jiang Yang knelt on the ground, beads of sweat dripping down his face, panting heavily.

He sensed that the dangerous aura had disappeared. Just to be on the safe side, he still had Hanzo search the area. Finding nothing amiss, he fed himself a Cell Medal before sitting down heavily on the ground.

This battle was definitely the most exhausting one yet. One Orphnoch after another, he couldn't even remember how many he had killed. Well, the number wasn't that exaggerated, but it was certainly a lot.

The battlegrounds have escalated from remote streets to the riverbank, and Jiang Yang was even prepared to jump into the river to escape if any more Orphnochs appeared.

He took out some water from his spatial storage, took a sip, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't in a hurry to contact Nishida. He knew Nishida was still alive from a Hanzo who had rushed over from the vicinity. Now he was more concerned about something else.

The system notified him that he had been given two chances to win a prize.

One time was because his progress reached 52, exceeding 49, thus earning him a chance; the other time was because he unlocked an achievement called "Battle Maniac".

You can smoke, you can smoke, smoke hard, smoke a desire driver and then a thruster, and start crushing the numbers directly.

Of course, getting what you want isn't something you can just wish for; it's all about luck in lotteries. But judging from his current luck of getting two belts out of three draws and one Mysterious Coin, his luck is definitely not bad.
