A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Kitasaki quickly realized something was wrong. Not only had the other party opened their eyes, but their strength had also increased. Simply put, the other party's items were better than his own.

For a child, especially one with a spoiled and unruly nature, everything you have, I also want and desire.

If you have something that I have, and it's even better than mine, then I want your thing to become mine.

Although he wanted to take over Kiba's ixa, his operation was not going smoothly at all. Not only that, but he was also extremely annoyed by the continuous attacks on his lower body.

Although the opponent couldn't cause me much harm, the feeling of being attacked from below and constantly losing my balance was really unpleasant.

Over time, his temper flared up.

After being hit again, he fell to the ground with his back to Kiba.

Kiba didn't think much of it and pressed his advantage. Then, just as he got close, Kiba heard a long string of incomprehensible sound effects. Although he couldn't understand them, he knew one thing: it was the sound effect of IXA's finishing move.

It was too late to retreat. Kitasaki turned around and used his fist gun as a gauntlet to strike Kiba in the left chest. The huge impact sent Kiba flying and crashing into a wall that was already half collapsed.

The enormous impact smashed the wall, and then, during the process, a blue figure appeared in Kitasaki's line of sight.

"What's this?"

Shindo Takahisa was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that he had been so well hidden, yet he had been exposed so easily. What? What should he do?

He's currently holding the Cerberus rifle, the launch pad is already set up, and he's just waiting for the enemy IXA to overload so he can deliver a devastating blow.

But who would have thought he would be so unlucky, and be exposed so naked?

Don't just stand there like an idiot!

Abe Rina's voice came through the built-in earpiece. Shindo Takahisa snapped out of his daze. Since he had been discovered, he might as well treat him to something good.

Aiming and firing, a projectile with power comparable to the Kamen Rider Agito Earth Form Rider Kick flew towards Kitasaki. Facing a missile clearly aimed at him, Kitasaki wouldn't foolishly take the hit head-on, and prepared to dodge. Just then, the IXA armor began frantically issuing warnings.

"What happened? I can't move!"

For some reason, his body suddenly became immobile—no, not his body, but his armor!

In just a moment, the shell hit, and Kitasaki was sent flying, his ixa disintegrating in mid-air.

"It's done! I've succeeded!"

Jiang Yang shouted a slogan that had been pre-arranged.

He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly, managing to overload Kitasaki while simultaneously sending him shoving a fatal bullet. Shinto, that kid... he didn't have many highlights in the TV series, how come he's this lucky in real life?

Because of the IXA defense, Kitasaki's shot didn't take full damage, but it was enough. Without the IXA, the shot might not have hit.

Kitasaki was stunned as he spun three and a half times in the air before falling into a pile of rubble.

Amidst the rubble, Kitasaki lay on the ground, his clothes tattered, yet there were almost no visible wounds on his body.

"It hurts!"

With a shout, he transformed into an Orphnoch, slowly rising to his feet. The Dragon Orphnoch stood atop the ruins.

Then he heard it.

"Stand by! (Ready!)" *2

"Orange! (Smash a big orange!) Lock on! (Lock on!)"

"Henshin! (Transformation!)" *3

"Soiya! Orange Arms! Ikebana On Stage!"

Kusaka and Takumi looked at Jiang Yang with strange expressions. Everyone else transformed immediately after shouting "Transform!", so why did you have a transformation announcement? And why was your transformation so fancy?

Soka: "Orange?"

Qiao: "Fruit?"

Jiang Yang: "It's an orange!"

As the shout rang out, the G3-X's Cerberus Vulcan cannon unleashed a barrage of fire! Cerberus is no ordinary weapon; its contribution to G3-X's numerous kills in the later stages of the game was undeniable. Cerberus possesses immense power, and its Vulcan cannon has repeatedly proven its effectiveness.

Kitasaki only took half a burst of attacks before jumping down into the pile of ruins, not daring to take the hit head-on.

Jiang Yang, with a large orange pill in his left hand and a peerless military knife in his right, charged forward first.

The combination of the Great Orange Pill and the Peerless Military Saber, rather than being a dual-wielding style, Jiang Yang felt it was more like a series of irregular swords. One was long, the other short, offering endless variations.

Of course, that's martial arts fiction; for tokusatsu (special effects) films, you just have to cut them down.

From three directions, Gaim and Caesar charged forward one after the other.

He cleverly pressed 3821 on the spot before charging forward with his sword.

Then there's ixa. Kiba took a huge hit and didn't disintegrate immediately, which is impressive.

As for G3-X, he is responsible for long-range firepower suppression.

The first to arrive was Gaim, who slashed down with his Musou Saber and Ootengu. Kitasaki raised his hand to block, and sparks flew. The Musou Saber's attack was stopped, but the shorter Ootengu bypassed the defense and landed on him.

Having landed a successful blow, Jiang Yang didn't pursue at all, but instead jumped back. Just then, the dragon head's attack came down, and Jiang Yang managed to dodge it.

It wasn't that he anticipated Kitasaki's attack; they had simply agreed on four directions. They could attack simultaneously in two straight directions, retreat after one strike, and then follow up from the other two directions.

This is also to avoid accidentally harming one's own people.

Gaim is facing Caesar, Faiz is facing Ixa, and G3-X is used to prevent Kitasaki from taking off, with long-range lock-on.

Due to the ixa overload and the attack from the G3-X, Kitasaki suffered more damage than expected. It was obvious that his movements were somewhat sluggish. He was not injured on his body; it was estimated that only the surface of his body had recovered.

Kitazaki was extremely frustrated. These guys were too damn cowardly. Nobody was greedy for hits. They would attack once and then retreat, and then the others would take their place. This made him very uncomfortable.

Even when he unleashed his lightning attack, these people seemed to have anticipated this attack method and were already prepared to dodge. He tried to escape the encirclement using his flying ability, but the power of the weapon in the hand of the metal box in the distance forced him to land almost immediately after taking off.

Another attack; Jiang Yang jumped back and pushed down the cutting rod to cut through the surface of the locked fruit.

Amidst the ultimate sound effect, Jiang Yang unleashes a triple slash with the Great Orange Pill: Great Orange One Slash - Triple Combo!

The orange-style slash landed on the dragon Orphnoch, leaving three wounds on Kitasaki's armor, but it did not damage the core of the body.

However, Jiang Yang's attack successfully drew aggro.

Kitasaki flew into a rage, swinging his dragon-head bracers in a sweeping attack. Jiang Yang and Kusaka managed to dodge the attack by jumping away in advance, but Takumi and Kiba were caught in the crossfire.

The dragon's slap sent the two flying, throwing their formation into disarray. Then, Beiqi charged directly at Jiang Yang. He knew his own physical condition; at this moment, he needed to eliminate one enemy to stop the situation from worsening.

Jiang Yang was also aware of this.

He dodged as much as possible, waiting for the others to return to their positions. The formation was effective; if he could just wear them down a bit more and deplete their strength, the scales of victory would tip in his favor.

Sometimes it really is a case of him running away and him chasing, until in the end he has nowhere to escape.

Kitasaki displayed a speed that was completely disproportionate to his size, and his attacks came one after another. Without the assistance of the ixa computer, Jiang Yang acted entirely on his own intuition.

Unfortunately, his intuition has been frighteningly strong lately.

They always managed to move at just the right moment to avoid attacks, but this also made it difficult for others to help them effectively, as the two of them were too close together. Shindo Takahisa was afraid of accidentally injuring someone, and Kusaka was also afraid.

So Kusaka ran over to help.

Jiang Yang also felt that they couldn't hide any longer; dragging it out might not be advantageous for them. He pushed the lever three times in a row, and the armor on his body stood up and transformed into a ball, starting to spin. Kitazaki's attack landed on it with a clang and bounced off.

Even Kitasaki himself was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. He had never experienced anything like this before; his attacks had never been blocked, let alone bounced back.
