Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

From the perspective of time, Anfeng Mountain at this time is no longer a little bit of sparks, but a bunch of burning torches.

In the sky above the torch, a huge clock is looming. As the hands of the clock rotate, lines of fire scatter outward, spreading to various time and space where ghosts exist in history.

Fire trees and silver flowers, sparks are boundless!
And in the center of that piece of sparks, there were drums resounding non-stop.

"drink!"

"Boom boom boom boom --!!!"

"drink!"

"Boom boom boom boom --!!!"

In front of the vertical taiko drums placed side by side, Tokiwa Shogo and Hidaka Hitoshi are playing the same music score together with the same but different techniques, strength and rhythm.

But when the drums reached their climax, the drums of the two of them suddenly merged into one, no longer separated from each other.

Not only that, the two of them, together with the taiko drums they were beating, also merged into one at this moment, turning into a legendary figure together.

Ring ghost!

Is it an illusion?

is it real?

In the light, that legendary figure looked so illusory yet so real.

The tall body is wrapped by well-proportioned muscles, and the skin emits a jet-black light like steel. There is no mouth, nose, or eyes on the face that also emits jet-black light. There are only bright red patterns like a kabuki mask. .

On both sides of a coat of arms resembling ghost tiles of temples and palaces on his forehead, are two unyielding and high-spirited ghost horns facing the sky.

"drink!"

With a pair of bright red ghost claws, he held a pair of equally bright red drum sticks, and in a sudden burst of shouting, he kept beating the unique domineering tone on the drum surface.

"Boom boom boom boom --!!!"

"Boom boom boom boom --!!!"

"Boom boom boom boom --!!!"

Amidst the fast and intense drumming, the pointer of the huge clock in the sky suddenly "clicked" to a stop, and then began to reverse rapidly.

"Da da da da da --!!!"

"Boom boom boom boom --!!!"

The reversal of the hands of the clock formed a huge vortex, like a black hole, absorbing all the flames that had been scattered before.

Everything is converging, but after shrinking into a singularity, it explodes suddenly with the sound of the last drum, and the whole world is instantly filled with blazing light and bursting flames.

then……

All visions disappeared.

The world returns to the way it was before.

Shore Peak Mountain.

Outside Onizuka Shrine, in front of the vertical drums placed side by side, Tokiwa Shogo and Hidaka Hitoshi maintained the posture of beating the last drum, gasping for breath and sweating profusely.

Among them, a knight's watch with a ghost face printed on the dial floats quietly.

[Hibiki! 】

Yes, that's exactly, Ring Ghost's Knight's Watch!

……

……

What sign is Yuedu waiting for?

When the signs appeared, no need for her to tell, everyone knew it at a glance.

The first thing to change is the group of demonized demons.

They stopped suddenly, no longer attacking the clear sound enchantment node in front of them, but all roared in anger and fear in a certain direction.

Under the earth, the sea of ​​evil mist that has become thinner in the edge area is no longer just being splashed with ripples, but is being stirred up into huge waves.

Immediately after the abnormality appeared, it was the tone shikigami who were connected to the enchantment of the clear sound.

They were quietly performing the task of building an enchantment in stealth mode, and suddenly one by one released their stealth, and they all uttered war-like tweets at the same time.

The ghosts at the scene were stunned by this sudden change, and they felt that new power suddenly began to emerge from the depths of their exhausted bodies, and it didn't take long for them to return to their prime state.

Those disciples of ghosts who have been stuck on the level of transforming into ghosts for several years, are suddenly blessed at this moment, and they have successfully transformed into new combat forces.

This is not over yet.

Because the changes of the tone shikigami are still going on.

Clusters of flames rose from their bodies, dyeing the entire Clear Sound Barrier in the color of flames.

The flames gave new power to the Onshikigami.

Let their bodies grow rapidly in a short period of time, and soon exceeded two meters, three meters...

It looks like an eagle burning with flames - the Flame Eagle!

There are older oni who recognize this power that makes the tone shikigami grow bigger.

"This is... an ancient ghost spell..."

The Flame Eagles screamed, and in the next moment, they broke away from the barrier and attacked the Demonic Elf below.

Even so, the enchantment of clear sound that had become a "sea of ​​fire" did not dissipate because of this, but shrank inward along with the flame eagle's trajectory...

Wait, shrink?
The enchantment began to shrink?

Ah, it turns out that this step does not need people to push it?
Facing the doubts of everyone in the warrior organization, Yuedu did not explain the rationale. It was not needed before, and it is not needed now.

The only thing she needs to do is to convey the most punctual, most suitable, and clearest instructions to the ghosts who have regained their energy.

"Fight! Gentlemen!"

Her voice full of fighting spirit rang in everyone's ears.

"If you don't fight now, when will you wait?"

The battle begins again.

In the symphony played by the enchantment establishment class, which was more majestic, passionate and heroic than before, even surpassed the original, the ghost warriors shouted with pride, no longer sticking to one point, but actively moving towards demonization. The sprites charged.

And this time, they don't need Gates to move around for support like a firefighter.

After making up the difference in numbers, the ghosts of the warrior organization were finally able to prove to the demonic demons why demonic demons have always been the prey of ghosts for nearly a thousand years!

The counterattack initiated by the ghosts went smoothly. The demonized monsters that attacked were wiped out one by one, and the barrier of the clear sound was rapidly shrinking towards the earth purification ritual field at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, the sea of ​​evil mist spreading outward is also being compressed back to the earth purification ceremony field by the enchantment.

And with the return of these evil spirits, demonized ghosts are being cleared, and under the ground purification ceremony, a consciousness that has been sleeping for a long time finally shows signs of awakening...

……

……

Beyond the battlefield, the desert of time.

On the Zio-Liner, Gates, who was finally able to rest for a while, had just lifted his armor, and as soon as he relaxed his mind, his body immediately fell down uncontrollably. He barely stabilized his body by supporting the ground with his hands.

He lowered his head and saw a little blood dripping on the ground.

Raising his hand, it turned out that his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were bleeding.

He didn't eat or drink for two consecutive days, and used the Geiz Revive armor non-stop, which caused a lot of damage to his body.

But at the end of the day...

"I still haven't exercised enough, my body is not strong enough..."

Gates whispered to himself, and was about to get up, when Izumi Iori, who saw this scene, stepped forward to help him up.

"Gates, you..."

"Iori-san, I'm fine."

Facing Izumi Iori's concern, Gates shook his head and said with a relaxed mood.

Yuedu glanced at Gates and nodded in agreement.

This small problem is not even a fatal injury, so there is really nothing to worry about.

However, Izumi Iori, who didn't understand the nature of the "resurrectionist", only thought that Gates was forcing himself for the safety of the world and his companions, and was immediately moved... and the more Gates explained, the more moved he was.

Gates: "..."

In the end, Yueyue told a white lie, saying that Gates' injury was really nothing compared to the medical technology of the Historical Administration Bureau, and then he calmed Izumi Iori who was trying to persuade Gates to go to the hospital.

Gates: "..."

If you don't listen to the truth, you must listen to lies... Don't blame me when you know the truth in the future.

He turned his head speechlessly, and moved his eyes away from Izumi Iori's body.

Yuedu didn't have any special feelings about this.

"Mr. Iori."

I saw her uncovering this topic without changing her face, and asked Izumi Iori a final question amidst the roar of Zio-Liner accelerating on the track.

"The time has come, are you ready to take back your earth purification ceremony from the hands of the strange ring ghost?"

"Of course!"

Izumi Iori replied without hesitation.

"I have been preparing for this for 13 years!"
