I, Den-O, Contract Urban Legend

"Ueya Inoue" gritted his teeth, assembled the pistol and threw it upwards. He leaned back to avoid the oncoming shovel and threw a sweeping kick with both hands on the ground. The strange devil subconsciously stepped back, but at that moment While it avoided the attack, it also gave Inoue Ueya a brief respite.

"Although it hasn't been a long time, I still learned a lot of fighting skills from Sadako-chan before this!"

Inoue Ueya caught the assembled pistol in mid-air, and pointed the barrel at the strange devil in front of him. He wanted to take advantage of the strange devil's vulnerability to pursue him, but when he saw the ghost attacking from the air, he had to give up this idea. Thinking of this, he raised his hand and fired a shot at the half-head in the air, knocking off the ghost's upper jaw. Then he used his teleportation ability again to avoid the jaw attack from the ground, and appeared behind "Kaku".

The double score was only due to the previous battle that caused the ant monster to move away from "Kuo" unknowingly. Now it was too late to rush over to save people.

In order to prevent the death of the contractor, the ant grasshopper demon god picked up the shovel in his hand and threw it towards Inoue Ueya's position.

The shovel flying from a distance hit Inoue Ueya's right hand. He groaned in pain and dropped the assembled pistol in his hand to the ground.

Taking advantage of "Ueya Inoue's" time to pick up the pistol, "Kaku" ran towards the Grasshopper Strange Demon God not far away without hesitation.

"Kaku" knows that Den-O has set its target on it. If it doesn't come up with a countermeasure to deal with Inoue Ueya as soon as possible, it may die.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, "Jue"'s head began to work crazily. According to the speed shown by the purple knight, except for the ant grasshopper demon god who had the strength to compete, the others present simply did not have the ability to deal with him. It’s just that the strange demon god threw the shovel in his hand in order to save it. The unarmed strange demon god may not be able to continue to suppress Ueya Inoue...

In this case, should I choose to escape now?

Ghost and the Grasshopper Demon God are no match for the Purple Knight, but it's hard to say if the big monster guarding the inner hall takes action.

After thinking about it for a while, "Jue" gave up the idea. It would be bad if the purple knight took the opportunity to sneak into "Nuechi". This guy not only has the ability to teleport, but also the stealth ability that he deliberately removed. Defend.

Chapter 257 Isn’t it time to change the nicknames for the enemies?

The ant monster seemed to understand "Jue"'s thoughts, and then said: "Don't worry, just protect yourself. I also dealt with the King of Lightning with a gun a long time ago. If "I" can't defeat him, If so, then let’s have another one…”

As he said that, the ant monster turned to look at the ghost. It was lying on the ground seriously injured, with blood flowing forward along the index finger of its left hand. Since its upper jaw was penetrated by a pistol bullet from Ueya Inoue, it looked a little... Embarrassing, but this kind of injury is not considered fatal to the monster, but it is temporarily unable to continue to participate in the battle until the injury recovers.

"Remove the possessed state...these two contractors are not equipped to deal with the King of Lightning. We must end this battle as soon as possible."

A figure broke away from Onichi's body. "Ueya Inoue" had just picked up the knocked down assembled pistol from the ground. When he looked back, he found that there was an ant-like monster on the field unknowingly.

"Hahaha, Den-O, it turns out it's Den-O who uses a gun! I wanted to have a fight with you a few days ago, but now I can finally get my wish!"

Without giving "Ueya Inoue" a chance to respond, the new alien demon god began to attack him. The moves were completely haphazard, but the speed and power displayed were even greater than those of the previous alien demon god. Much stronger.

Different from the previous ant monster, the new monster carries a violin-shaped metal blunt weapon in his hand. Although the appearance is almost the same as the previous one, his personality is completely different. Compared to the former's calm and cautious personality , but the latter's behavior, words and deeds are crazy and reckless, and occasionally he will laugh strangely.

"Well...since the two ant-gods are similar individuals, let's distinguish them with corresponding code names based on their personalities. For now, let's call the cautious one "ant", and the one in front of us will be called "grasshopper" "alright. "

[No, now is not the time to change nicknames for your enemies! 】

Inoue Zhi couldn't help but complain. In his impression, the holy spear form had been defeated in the hands of these two strange demon gods?

"No problem! No matter if it's one or two, Mary will defeat all the enemies!"

Even though he said this, "Ueya Inoue" unconsciously tightened the assembled pistol in his hand and faced the incoming strange devil.

As you come and go, the battle between the Grasshopper Strange Demon God and Inoue Ueya is quite fierce, but the unarmed ants will often catch the Grasshopper to cover it when it exposes its flaws, allowing Inoue Ueya, who is fighting alone, to have the upper hand.

As they fought, the enemy and we were already far away from their original positions. Ant Alien Demon God secretly withdrew from the battle and turned around to retrieve the shovel thrown on the ground.

"Ah, no! Is this a foul?"

"Inoue Ueya" noticed the intention of the Ant Demon God. It was a bit difficult to face two Demon Gods at the same time. Naturally, he would not allow the enemy's strength to continue to increase. He immediately raised his pistol and aimed at the ant, wanting to interrupt its action directly. Unfortunately, he was busy stopping the ant and ignored the Grasshopper Demon God beside him.

"Hehe, look here! With your strength, dare you be distracted in the battle?"

As he said, the Grasshopper Demon God raised the metal violin in his hand and smashed it hard at Inoue Ueya.

However, just when he was about to be hit by the metal violin, Inoue Ueya disappeared in front of the Grasshopper Demon God.

"Hey, why can I use my ability suddenly again?"

For the disappearance of Inoue Ueya, the Grasshopper Demon God showed a confused look. He had been attacking the Purple Knight since he came out of the contractor's body. The opponent should not be able to concentrate on using his ability.

After just a little thought, Grasshopper Demon God laughed again.

"Come to think of it, isn't this different from what the ant said? That ice-faced man finally guessed wrong for once, hahaha!"

The ant Demon God ran to retrieve the weapon. "Jue" wanted to follow it, but he was worried that he would be targeted by Inoue Ueya when he approached the battlefield. He was too far away from the battlefield and was afraid that the other party would use his ability to catch up. The Demon God that ran out of Guiyikou didn't look like a reliable guy, so he had to stand there and watch the battle.

"Tsk, this trick again!"

Just as Inoue Ueya disappeared again, "Jue" instantly got goose bumps all over his body. He held his head with both hands and pounced forward without hesitation, trying to avoid the upcoming sneak attack.

Obviously, the sneak attacks by teleportation ability several times before have left it with a psychological shadow.

After a while, Jue felt that there was no movement behind him, so he turned back to take a peek. Unexpectedly, Inoue Ueya did not appear behind him as usual.

A guess suddenly emerged in Jue's mind, and he immediately used his mind-reading ability. Although the removal of the possession state caused his ability to become much weaker than before, he could still sense the voice lurking nearby.

The ant demon god in the distance had just picked up the fallen shovel, and before he could turn around and continue to fight, he was hit by a bullet shot from nowhere, causing the shovel in his hand to fall out of his hand again.

[Full Charge]

After sensing the location of Inoue Ueya, Jue's pupils shrank, and he shouted to the demon god in the distance: "Be careful! That guy is still standing there, he didn't use the teleportation ability at all!"

That's right, Mary didn't use teleportation this time, but the ability to erase the sense of existence that she had never used in battle.

"Hmm, have you been discovered so soon?"

"Inoue Ueya" first showed his intention to attack the Ant Demon God, and deliberately exposed a flaw to induce the Grasshopper Demon God beside him to take the opportunity to attack the "distracted" him.

"The battle plan that came up with at the last minute is indeed full of flaws. Mary is not very good at doing this kind of thing."

Mary's possession did not give Inoue Ueya any physical enhancement in terms of defense, and the defensive performance of the Holy Spear form is also the weakest among all forms. If the Grasshopper Demon God's heavy slash really hit him, Inoue Ueya would probably not be able to escape the fate of being injured.

But Mary had already focused her attention on the Grasshopper, erasing her presence while avoiding the opponent's heavy blows, thus creating the illusion that she used the teleportation ability.

The sense of existence she can erase is not limited to herself like Nura: For example, the bullet just shot at the Demon God, along with the sound and trajectory of the bullet, was erased. The Ant Demon God could not even detect the approach of the bullet, and the shovel he had just picked up was knocked down again.

"But it's a bit late to react now, right?"

"Inoue Ueya" had already prepared the assembled pistol in his hand, and the barrel flashing with purple light was already aimed at the Demon God in the distance, and his index finger slowly pulled the trigger.

Chapter 258 I have another useful secret weapon here

The purple energy bullet instantly submerged the Ant Demon God, but under the influence of Mary's ability, all others saw was the Demon God being crushed by an invisible force.

He was caught off guard by a killer move. Although the Ant Demon God did not die directly, his injuries were still very serious, and it seemed that he could no longer continue to fight.

[Wow, isn't it amazing to use this ability? It's like a top assassin who kills people without a trace! 】

"Inoue Ueya" shook his head and responded: "This is the fighting method that Sadako-chan once mentioned to me. I just wanted to try it out, but I didn't expect the situation to be reversed immediately... But Mary doesn't like to use this kind of sneak attack. We are Kamen Riders after all. It's really unfair to use this method in battle, right?"

[I see, that's what you think, so you haven't used the ability to erase your presence since the beginning of the battle? 】

Inoue Ueya has never thought about this kind of thing. After all, this is a real battle, not a friendly competition. The way to fight between monsters and monsters is to use their own abilities, and this ability originally belongs to her, not an external force, but...

[Well, don't worry about these things! It doesn't matter if you don't use this ability to fight. I will support your decision. Just follow your heart. That's enough. ]

Having been borrowing the power of the girls to participate in the battle, Inoue Ue also thinks that he has paid far less than them in this process. At most, he is just doing physical labor. What qualifications does he have to criticize Mary's ideas?

Regarding the idea of ​​fighting methods, Inoue Ue doesn't want to impose his subjective ideas on Mary. He still hopes that Mary can make her own judgment.

At this time, the ant demon god was covered with cracks, and it was not blood that flowed out of the wound, but countless grains of sand. Although the body was covered with wounds, it did not fall down, but bent down again to pick up the shovel on the ground.

Although the ant demon god did not think that "Nue" would be so easy to talk to, during the time it lurked in "Jue"'s body, it had heard the Kyoto monsters mention the deeds of Nue.

How to say it, the former Lord of Hundred Ghosts is undoubtedly an ambitious person. Even if they succeed in resurrecting each other, the possibility of the Demon God successfully connecting time and space is still very slim.

To be honest, the Ant Demon God still doesn't think their plan can succeed, but...

"Ahahaha! Ice Face, you look really embarrassed now!"

The Grasshopper Demon God still looks crazy, and seeing that the Ant Demon God insists on standing up, the tone of his speech has changed slightly.

"Hey, isn't it better to just lie on the ground and pretend to be dead?"

"If you fail at this critical moment, all your previous efforts will go down the drain." The Ant Demon God said weakly.

"For the Demon God, death is not the end. If my sacrifice can delay the other Demon Gods for a while, it should be worth it."

The words were full of helplessness, but the Ant Demon God had no intention of retreating. He held the shovel in his hand tightly and shouted loudly: "Den Wang, the battle is not over yet! Don't try to break into the inner hall before I die!"

The monster born based on the fairy tale "The Ant and the Grasshopper" is both a cautious ant and a simple grasshopper. Although it is called "Ant" by Mary, it just hasn't shown its other side yet.

However, after seeing this scene, "Inoue Ueya", who maintained his concealment ability, began to waver in his heart, and he was a little hesitant about whether he should continue to fight with the Ant Demon God.

Although it was not the first time that Mary watched other girls at home killing enemies, it was just like what she saw on TV every day, and there seemed to be nothing special about it. However, when she really needed to do it herself, her right hand holding the assembled pistol trembled involuntarily.

If the opponent had normal thinking ability, it would actually be similar to the weird and monsters she saw every day. Is it really okay to take the opponent's life without mercy?

Besides, unlike the previous uncommunicative alien gods, the ant alien gods obviously have rational existence. Although it is not clear why they joined the Kyoto monsters, Mary did not think that the alien gods who were willing to sacrifice their lives to buy time for their companions would be unforgivable villains.

At this point, Mary finally realized a fact that the real battle was much heavier than she imagined. No wonder Sadako and the others had been avoiding her from taking action personally.

Mary fell into deep thought, and hesitated to end the life of the ant demon god. She couldn't do it after all, but her position did not allow her to let him go. Would her thoughts disappoint Inoue Ueya?

"What should I do..."

[Really, didn't I say that? ]

As if he saw through Mary's thoughts, Inoue Ueya spoke when she was confused.

[This is your battle. You decide how to fight and whether to end the opponent's life. If you are hesitant, you can skip the battle and sneak into the inner hall... Well, it's better to make them lose their fighting ability first, otherwise it will be meaningless if they fight with the support that catches up from behind. ]

"Well, it is necessary to not hurt their lives and make the opponent lose their fighting ability. Can I do this with my strength alone?"

Although the ability to erase the sense of existence gives Mary an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield, she is not confident in strength control, and there is also a demon god in good condition on the field.

[Ah, right! If this is the case, I have a useful secret weapon here! 】

Speaking of this, Inoue Ueya opened the system space and looked for a killer weapon he had obtained in the past weekly mission...

With a clang, a manhole cover fell out of thin air next to "Inoue Ueya".

"Is this the so-called secret weapon?"

Seeing this, Mary couldn't help but complain. How could this thing look like the kind of manhole cover that can be seen everywhere on the roadside?

[Don't underestimate it. This looks like a manhole cover pulled out casually on the roadside, but it is actually a weapon that Kitajima Yuko and the alien Kiva have used. This is an invincible manhole cover that can remain intact after taking a serious blow from Kamen Rider Ginga! 】

Chapter 259 This thing is more useful than a pistol

"So far, this is a place guarded by the two of us, ahhhh——"

"Stop making so much noise, is this going to stop!"

The oni who were talking were interrupted by the sign in Hanako Natsukawa's hand. Two oni were blown away one after another, and with screams, they fell from the bridge into the moat. Following closely behind them, "Iwanaga Kotoko" and the monsters also walked into the inner hall through the east gate one after another.

[Hey, it turns out that such a huge oni really exists...]

Iwanaga Kotoko's tone was mixed with a hint of surprise. The oni she had met so far did not look like this. She did not expect that the evil oni created by the Hyakumonogatari Group really existed in this world. This reminded her of a story she had heard from an old monster.

After witnessing the tragic death of Yuyuko, the "Nue" in the past felt completely desperate about this ugly world, so he decided to change the world. On the surface, he said that he wanted to "purify" the world, but in fact, it was a large-scale purge of monsters and humans. He wanted to destroy all humans and monsters who violated his ideals and refused to obey him, and he tried to restore the order of the world.

So, the monsters at that time either submitted to the "Nue" or were destroyed by it. It is said that the history of monsters was even cut off because of this incident.

[Well, I guess those ghosts disappeared at that time? ]

"Really, where did they run to?"

Hanako Natsukawa was in a bad mood. Just after she followed Inoue Ueya into Nijo Castle, monsters kept appearing on the road to block the way, and Hanako Natsukawa lost Inoue Ueya. Then, as they fought, even "Iwanaga Kotoko" and the monsters behind them caught up, but she still didn't find him back.

Although Hanako always puts on a carefree look, she is actually keeping an eye on everyone in the family.

"That brat chose to throw a tantrum at this critical time. Is it really okay to let her go to battle like this? Will something happen..."

Hanako whispered to herself, feeling a little worried about the situation of Mary and Inoue Ueya.

"Ah, it seems that I was right... Although you look indifferent, in fact, Hanako, you are still worried about the safety of your husband and others."

Considering that everyone is in the enemy's base, Yasha Yuki has been possessing Iwanaga Kotoko to prevent her from encountering any danger.

Hearing the teasing of "Iwanaga Kotoko", Hanako immediately came back to her senses, shook her head in a hurry, turned her back to her, and stammered: "Hmph, why do I worry so much? I, I don't care about such trivial matters!"

Walking all the way to the inner hall, everyone found traces of fierce fighting, as if they had experienced a big battle not long ago.

Not only that, the bloodstains on the ground were particularly conspicuous, extending outwards, with obvious traces of dragging.

Seeing this, even "Iwanaga Kotoko" couldn't help but frown, and began to panic. Could something have happened to Inoue Ue?

Although Inoue Ue was very reliable most of the time, the singularity was still a singularity after all. That kind of sudden misfortune was no joke, and it was not impossible to encounter an accident during the battle and be defeated.
