Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 295 The Three-in-One Monster

The atmosphere became somber when the Knights Association headquarters received this urgent letter of authorization from the Z City government, stamped with a bright red official seal.

Three people died mysteriously and tragically in succession, their deaths were bizarre, and non-human evidence was found at the scene... The clues are too obvious.

“Z City… seems to be in turmoil lately.” The department head in charge of handling the case frowned as he looked at the crime scene photos and victim information in the report. “Three students from well-off families were murdered one after another in a short period of time. The methods were cruel, and it seems to be the work of a strange person… This case is probably very complicated.”

Soon, an order was issued from headquarters. A highly skilled team consisting of three experienced investigators and one combat-type Kamen Rider was urgently dispatched to Z City.

Meanwhile, deep within a dark sewer in Z City, a pair of eyes burning with eerie green flames were staring intently at several stained photos torn from old newspapers—photos of Zhang Hao, Chen Ya, and Wang Lei's once arrogant and domineering smiles.

"It's not over yet... there are still those... high and mighty... accomplices..."

The atmosphere at the Knights Guild headquarters was somber.

An urgent official letter of authorization from Z City was projected onto the conference screen. The crime scene photos from the three cases were horrifying: Zhang Hao's torn remains, the twisted metal railing at the point where Chen Ya fell, the huge hole in Wang Lei's chest... and the scattered scales and tooth marks that did not belong to any known creature.

“Inhuman forces, cruel methods, clear objectives, and extremely negative social impact.” The supervisor in charge of field operations said in a low voice, “Z City is under immense pressure and demands that we intervene immediately to identify and eliminate the ‘monster’.”

Soon, a capable three-person team was quickly assembled and dispatched to Z City: Lu Feng (Kamen Rider Delta), Chen Gang (Kamen Rider Daiya), and Lin Xiao (Kamen Rider Soul Rider) were urgently sent to Z City to investigate.

.........

Deep within the stench-filled sewers of City Z.

Xu Yun, or rather, the rock lizard monster, was lurking in a damp corner. The thrill of revenge was fleeting and empty, followed by a deeper pain and endless longing for her mother. However, a larger, more chaotic, and more malevolent thought...

Silu's figure silently appeared above the culvert, toying with three energy orbs that flickered with a faint red light in his hand—the highly condensed negative emotions of Zhang Hao, Chen Ya, and Wang Lei, the "materials" that Silu had carefully collected.

“What a sweet hatred…” Slu took a deep breath, savoring it as if he were tasting fine wine. “But alas, one person’s resentment is ultimately a bit monotonous.”

He flicked his finger, and the three orbs of resentment collided violently! A shrill, inhuman scream instantly filled the entire culvert! A black and red energy storm suddenly erupted!

As the light faded, a huge, twisted, and repulsive monster appeared in the center of the culvert.

"Who?" Xu Yun turned around, completely shocked.

The monster had a massive body covered in stitches, like a broken doll. It had a huge scorpion tail made of countless shards of glass and twisted metal, gleaming with a cold light, and dripping corrosive slime from its tip. Its chest was covered with fangs, and deep within, one could vaguely see a black heart, entangled in black mist, beating slowly.

The monster's head was even more terrifying; one could even vaguely make out the twisted, pained faces of Zhang Hao, Chen Ya, and Wang Lei. It kept writhing, howling, and cursing, the sounds overlapping to create a jarring mental pollution!

"What's going on...why are they..."

Xu Yun (the Rock Lizard Monster) was alarmed by this terrifying aggregate of resentment. She sensed the familiar yet abhorrent aura emanating from the monster, belonging to Zhang Hao and his companions, as well as the vast and chaotic dark energy.

"Roar—!!!" The rock lizard monster let out a deafening roar and pounced! She was going to use her newly acquired power to completely crush them!

Inside the culvert, two monsters born from human tragedy instantly clashed!

The rock lizard monster was powerful, its claws and bone tail carving deep marks into the walls, but the vengeful fusion monster was even more bizarre and troublesome! Its massive body was not clumsy, and the black energy emanating from its stitches could corrode rock scales; its scorpion tail was accompanied by a whooshing sound and corrosive venom; at the same time, the mental shock it spewed, containing the painful memories of the three people before their deaths, made Xu Yun's consciousness chaotic.

"Zhang Hao... Chen Ya... Wang Lei... die... die..." The lizard monster roared in chaos, its attacks becoming increasingly frenzied, but it was suppressed by the combined monster using the terrain and its strange abilities. New wounds kept appearing on its body, and dark green blood dripped to the ground, making a sizzling sound.

"Hmm... a battle between monsters is really interesting!" Slu took a sip of tea, then suddenly sensed something: "Looks like we have an audience..."

Just as the lizard monster was retreating and about to be swallowed by the giant maw of the combined monster's chest!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three beams of light, each a different color, struck the combined monster's massive body with pinpoint accuracy, like lightning tearing through the darkness! The powerful impact caused it to stagger, and its enormous maw was forced to close temporarily.

Delta, Big Tooth, and Soul Rider appeared like divine soldiers descending from the sky at the three entrances of the culvert! They followed the strong energy fluctuations and abnormal reports from the city's pipe network to this location, and happened to witness this horrifying scene.

“An extremely high concentration of negative energy aggregates has been detected! And… another high-intensity biological reaction!” Lu Feng’s voice came through Delta.

"I don't care what it is, I'll take care of it all!" Kamen Rider Daiga roared, his massive gauntlet claws already poised to strike!

"Take care of the big one first! It's a bigger threat!" Lu Feng made a quick judgment. "Chen Gang, engage it head-on! Lin Xiao, disrupt its energy!"

"Understood!" X2

The battle erupted instantly! Delta transformed into a streak of silver-blue light, accelerating to its maximum speed! He moved at high speed around the massive fusion monster, his pistol continuously firing high-energy beams, precisely striking the fusion monster's joints, the base of its scorpion tail, and its gaping maw, disrupting its attack rhythm and leaving behind charred marks.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't get distracted, or you'll get ambushed!" Big Tooth roared like a heavy tank, charging head-on at the fused monster! His heavy footsteps made the culvert vibrate. His twin claws, carrying the force to split mountains and shatter rocks, slammed into the fused monster's lower body and densely stitched torso, each collision erupting with a dull thud and sparks flying! His powerful strength successfully drew the fused monster's main physical attacks, with its scorpion tail and massive maw both heading towards him.

The Soul Rider stood a short distance away, her hands clasped together, and a ghostly blue energy spread from her body like threads. An invisible psychic field, like a tough spider web, wrapped around the fused monster's scorpion tail and its massive maw that was trying to spew out a mental attack, greatly slowing down its movements.

The three knights cooperated seamlessly and efficiently! Delta's high-speed harassment kept the combined monster busy, Big Tooth's frontal assault held firm against the pressure, and Soul Rider's control and interference precisely neutralized the combined monster's most dangerous attack methods.

Despite its immense strength and bizarre abilities, the combined monster began to be on the defensive under this three-dimensional and professional attack. Its massive body was riddled with wounds, the stitches were coming undone, and black energy was constantly dissipating. Its massive maw roared in defiance, and its three twisted faces struggled even more painfully.

Already severely injured from the knights' attacks, the rock lizard monster was further weakened by the combined mental interference of the Soul Riders and the aftershocks of the combined monster's mental impact, plunging her consciousness into a state of utter chaos and despair. The dark energy that sustained her monster form dissipated rapidly, like a receding tide.

"Ugh... Ah..." A painful groan, the kind that belonged to a human girl, escaped from the lizard monster's mouth. Its massive body began to convulse and contract violently. Hard rock scales peeled away like dried mud, revealing pale, fragile skin beneath.

The grotesque bone spurs retracted into her body, her tail disappeared, and the terrifying lizard head faded away in the distorted light and shadow. Finally, Xu Yun, a girl wearing a tattered and dirty school uniform, covered in abrasions and bruises, and unconscious, collapsed helplessly on the cold and filthy sewer floor.

"What?!" Chen Gang (Da Ya), who was about to unleash his ultimate move, suddenly stopped and stared in disbelief at the thin girl on the ground.
