Kamen Rider: High Beam Rider - Starting with Saber

Chapter 85 Goodbye, Tassel

Dock warehouse.

Two days have passed since the last battle with Stryus.

The fantasy book inside the natural disaster's body was also damaged even more severely.

The three of them sat together eating instant noodles. Lan Yu was feeling a little heavy-hearted, while Tian Zai seemed completely unconcerned.

Upon seeing that Lian and Lan Su's instant noodles didn't contain pickled ginger, Tianzai was extremely shocked. "Hey, why didn't you add pickled ginger? It's delicious!"

Lian retorted, "Instant noodles don't have red ginger in them."

"It's delicious, you should all try it," Tianzai strongly recommended.

Lian ignored the natural disaster and continued eating, while Lanyu silently added red ginger to the instant noodles.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Tianzai asked as soon as he saw that Lanyu had added red ginger.

"It's not tasty," Lan Yu said mercilessly, but continued eating anyway.

Just then, three figures walked in; it was Lan Su and his two companions who had come looking for Lan Yu and Lian.

"Lan Su!" Lan Yu stood up excitedly, glancing at the natural disaster and then at Lan Su.

Lan Su looked towards the natural disaster, his brows furrowing slightly. He looked at Lan Yu and asked, "What's going on?"

"Come with me." Lan Yu glanced at Fei Yuzhen and Lian and the others, then led Lan Su to a secluded corner.

"It's Stelius, he got his hands on the Book of Omniscience—"

Lan Yu explained the whole story to Lan Su, and Lan Su's brows furrowed even more.

No wonder he had felt something was wrong about the disappearance of the Omnipotent Book; it turned out that Stryus had taken it.

However, once he realized what was wrong, Lan Su breathed a sigh of relief, since Lao Wu had originally planned to be involved with Lan Su.

It's just back to the original script now, which is better. As long as it doesn't turn into something like the Truth Saint Lord's enhanced form, everything is still under control.

"I see."

Watching Lan Su's departing figure, Lan Yu wanted to ask him several times to help with the natural disaster, but he rejected her every time.

Although Tianzai got along well with him and he regarded Tianzai as a friend, he also knew that Lansu could not save him because of what Tianzai had done.

There's no reason to save them.

On the other side, when Lan Su returned, he saw Ling Hua standing alone at the warehouse door waiting for him; Fei Yu Zhen had already disappeared.

"Why are you all alone? Where's Fei Yuzhen?" Lan Su stepped forward, took Linghua's hand, and asked curiously.

"I heard that Stryus has appeared, so Touma went to help first."

"Let's go to a fantasy world!"

Without saying a word, Lan Su led Linghua into the fantasy world.

"Has something happened?" Linghua asked, puzzled by Lan Su's anxious expression.

"Something might have happened to Liusu!"

Upon entering the fantasy world, Lan Su arrived at Liu Su's wooden house. He opened the door and went inside, but didn't see Liu Su, nor even Luna.

The cabin showed no signs of damage or fighting, meaning that Liusu had not yet returned.

Lan Su summoned the Emperor Ship and sped through the fantasy world with Linghua, searching for Liu Su's figure.

He scanned the area he had passed through, but found no trace of Liusu. Instead, he spotted Luna's trail first.

However, Lan Su now wants to save Liu Su, so he temporarily placed a mental mark on Luna and continued to search for Liu Su.

What Lan Su didn't know was that shortly after he left the cabin, Stryus arrived and waited patiently for Liu Su to come to him!

Lan Su was too worried to remember clearly. He only remembered that Liu Su died in the woods, and he didn't remember the other details very well.

"It's been 2000 years, Viktor."

Inside the cabin, Stryus emerged from the shadows.

"You finally came." Liu Su sighed, but there was no fear or apprehension in her voice.

He seemed to have anticipated this day.

"Your goal is this book, isn't it?" He took out the fragment of the omnipotent book from his hand.

When Stryus saw the book, his eyes gleamed with greed.

Liu Su's body transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the wooden house. Stryus smiled disdainfully and followed Liu Su's trail.

In the woods, Strings was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by Stryus.

"Aren't you going to fight back?"

"If we are wiped out in this world, you will die too."

Stryus attempted to use death to incite Liusu's rebellious spirit. However, Liusu's lack of resistance was not the ending script that Stryus had arranged for her.

"Stop it." Liu Su was already covered in wounds, but she still had no intention of fighting back and was still trying to persuade Stryus.

"We sought this power for the happiness of humanity, but in the end, so much conflict arose because of it."

"I'm very sad because I have to fight with my friends."

Liusu stepped forward and hugged Stryus's leg, trying to awaken him with the dream that the five of them once shared.

"Friends—what a nostalgic note."

"9

Images from over 2000 years ago flashed through Lao Wu's mind, revealing a hint of nostalgia.

Liu Su's voice was already choked with sobs, "There are only the two of us left among the Origin People."

Stryus looked up, his eyes filled with recollection and inner turmoil. "When I obtained this power, I saw the end of the world."

"But now, Luna and Touma, whom we've been waiting for, have appeared—"

"Pfft—!"

Before Liu Su could finish speaking, Stryus's longsword had already pierced through her body. "Sorry, Victor, I've been waiting impatiently too."

"Well----"

Old Wu: "It's foolish to leave the ending of the story to someone else to write, Viktor."

Looking at the long sword piercing through her heart, Liu Su did not blame Lao Wu. Instead, she stepped forward and hugged Lao Wu.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for finding this power, which has led to you all becoming like this."

Old Wu didn't expect Liu Su to react this way in the end. She didn't resist at all and instead took all the responsibility upon herself.

He was somewhat defensive, which was inconsistent with the ending he had arranged for Liusu.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

He was panting heavily, not daring to look at Liusu again, and picked up the book from the ground and fled.

"tassel!"

Lan Su and Ling Hua, who arrived late, jumped down from the sky and hurried to Liu Su's side.

Lan Su used the power of creation to try to restore Liu Su's state, but to no avail.

He then tried to use the power of the Demon King to pause Liu Su's time, but Liu Su used the power of the fantasy world to undo it.

"No need, Lan Su, I'm already tired."

"I believe in you and Touma, we'll be fine."

Even the dying Liusu could easily break Lan Su's time restriction, yet she didn't put up a fight when Lao Wu was chasing her.

"You're so gentle, Tassel."

"Then get some rest, leave the rest to us."

Lan Su clenched and unclenched his fists. Liu Su had been guarding the fantasy world for two thousand years, which was already exhausting enough.

Please.

After uttering her last words, Liusu transformed into a fantastical bubble and disappeared into the fantasy world.

In the end, only two fantastical bubbles remained, drifting in the wind within the fantastical world.

"Boom!"

The fantasy world began to become unstable after Liusu's death, and the space began to collapse.

Lan Su sensed the gradually disappearing fantasy world and had no time to mourn for Liu Su anymore. He took Ling Hua and headed towards Luna's location.

At this moment, Luna is about to be transported to the real world because of the collapse of the fantasy world.

"Luna! Grab our hands."

Lan Su flew down from the sky in the Emperor. When Luna saw that it was Lan Su, she immediately reached out and tightly grasped Linghua's outstretched hand.

Having successfully retrieved Luna, Lan Su led her into the Narac Space, leaving the fantasy world behind.
