Knight Arena, the opening match between the fifth generation and Shoichi

"Besides, I did see a burst of light erupting from Mr. Hibiki's body before the black flames exploded completely. There shouldn't be anything wrong with my guess that the flames were close to him. Don't think that others are the same as you. Ah, you idiot."

"Hey... forget it, I won't refute you this time."

After watching Hibiki's flesh and blood return to its original state within a few breaths, I was suddenly stunned.

"I always feel that Mr. Hibiki's recovery speed has improved a lot? Is it my imagination?"

"No. In fact, although Mr. Hibiki relied on his exquisite operation to minimize the damage caused by Ryuga, but to be honest, this is just Ryuga's one-hit charged special move."

"If Mr. Hibiki doesn't have a trump card for a comeback, then even if he survives this attack, the probability of defeating the enemy is still very low - after all, the performance gap between the two sides is there, and it cannot be easily smoothed out by skills and experience. of."

"Now that Mr. Hibiki's recovery ability has improved a lot, some of the conjectures in my mind have been confirmed. There are currently more than one form of knights, but Mr. Hibiki has always used the original form until now. .”

"If I'm not wrong..."

"——He should have mastered his advanced form when he appeared on the scene, just like Hong Du and Cao Zhenqing. He probably didn't intend to use this form before, but now, he doesn't need to It’s no longer possible.”

.............................

Hibiki in the ring, of course, couldn't see or hear everyone's analysis.

In fact, everyone's analysis was indeed correct. After all, Hibiki and Ryuga are not the kind of knights with changeable abilities. Their abilities have long been on the table.

For those knights with quick minds, it is indeed not difficult to deduce what happened based on the two people's abilities and experience.

But for everyone, the only thing they didn't guess was Hibiki's comment on the pain.

As a ghost knight who has been fighting for more than ten years, Hibiki has encountered a lot of things in his battles with demonized demons. He may not have encountered many debuffs like petrification and fossilization, but he has encountered high temperature heating and skin bursting. Definitely encountered it more than once.

Well, this high temperature is indeed a bit ridiculously high, so ridiculous that Xiang Gui even thinks that the temperature on the surface of the sun is probably at this level.

But fortunately, the problem is not particularly big.

Everyone made a rough guess about Hibiki and Ryuga's abilities, but they didn't figure out Hibiki's hidden ability...or rather, its form.

When the rain of black flame fell from the sky this time, Hibiki was ready to gather his power.

He knew that he could withstand this wave of attacks. The problem was that for the enemy, spraying black flame bullets was a common sure-kill move.

Judging from the previous battles, the limitation of the fire bomb is that the flame reloading speed is not fast. As for the consumption... Anyway, Hibiki didn't see how much consumption it was.

If he continued to fight in the basic form, he felt that there was no need to play anymore, so finding time to activate the [red] form was what Hibiki had always planned to do.

And now, he seized the opportunity.

When Hibiki transforms from its basic form to its red form, it releases steam, and then causes its body to burst into extremely high-temperature flames.

These flames were originally used by Hibiki to resist the burning of the black flames. After the flames and the black flames had finished fighting, Hibiki used the power converted into red form to fly away the damaged skin on his body.

But while the skin was blown away, the flesh and blood on Hibiki's body also began to recover at a faster speed after it turned red.

In less than a second, red skin replaced the previous purple skin and was laid on Hibiki's body.

"Ha, I have no choice but to use this form."

After picking up the Dragon Tail Sword that fell on the ground, Hibiki thought for a moment and chose...

——Throwed the Dragon Tail Knife into the garden pond not far away, and let the sharp blade fall into the pond.

"Oh, don't you use this weapon?"

Ryuga, who was watching Hibiki from a high place, saw Hibiki's new, more powerful form. He didn't panic at all, but instead spoke to Hibiki with great interest.

"My weapon should be obviously more destructive than your weapon. Is it really okay to just throw that knife into the pool?"

"Ha... your weapons are indeed stronger, but if you are not comfortable using them, it is best not to use them when fighting against strong enemies. I picked them up just now because I was afraid that you would take the weapons back in the chaos."

After taking out the sound stick, Hibiki continued talking to Ryuga from above.

"Besides, as long as your knife is thrown away, I can feel a little more at ease. Although the dragon head gauntlet is strong, the weapon is far less threatening to me than the dragon tail knife."

"After knowing your tricks, I can probably think of a way to break it. But you, after I used stronger power..."

"——Aren't you going to take action with all your strength?"

"...Ha, this is really troublesome."

When Long Ya said this, some of the audience had not yet realized what the conversation between the two parties meant.

The two of them were fighting to such an extent, but Ryuga still didn't use his full strength?

And why can Hibiki tell that Ryuga is not using his full strength?

For another part of the audience, they immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.

Wu Dao Takatora: [No wonder...no wonder Mr. Hibuki would say such a thing. 】

Kurejima Takatora: [Dragon Knight seems to be a knight who uses the same combat system as King Snake. In other words - like King Snake, he can also appear with contract beasts at the same time and suppress the enemy with numerical superiority. 】

Wu Dao Takatora: [In the previous confrontation, both the red dragon knight and the black dragon knight made the contracted beasts drop their weapons and then left the battlefield. 】

Gan Qiao: [I still remember that King Snake’s contracted beast seems to be more destructive than King Snake, right? 】

Tezuka Uyuki: [Actually, this is the normal state of our mirror world knights. 】

After thinking for a while, Tezuka Umino still didn't say the next sentence.

But in fact, the power of our mirror world knights comes from the contract beast, so as long as we kill the contract beast, our mirror world knights will become blank.

The combat power of the mirror world knight who has changed into a blank form is estimated to be 5.00% to [-]% lower than the original one. From the beginning to the present knight, any knight who has appeared in the blank form can probably defeat a mirror world knight in a few or two strokes.

Kido's contracted beast [Wu Shuanglong] is already a very powerful contracted beast.

And now the black dragon knight is stronger than the dragon knight. In other words, his black flying dragon is naturally stronger than the Wushuang dragon.

In addition, his own strength is much stronger than Hibiki, so if this black dragon knight summons a contracted beast, wouldn't Hibiki be even more dangerous?

[Advent (Summoning 'Dragon Teeth')]

Looking at Ryuga who had brushed off the card, Tezuka Uyuki suddenly thought of something.

Even if I can figure out things, Hibiki must know better.

So……

——The reason why he lured the other party to summon the contracted beast is because he has discovered the secret of our mirror world knights?

----------------

Chapter 118. Dragon Tooth, even more to die!

Although Ryuga didn't expect Hibiki to completely forget the existence of the Dark Dragon, Ryuuga still felt a little irritated when Hibiki mentioned his contracted beast.

In the mirror world knight system developed by Shirou Kanzaki, the strength of the contracted beast determines the overall strength of a knight.

For the mirror world knights fighting outside the mirror world, contract beasts also have another controllable characteristic - contract beasts that exist as mirror world monsters can jump out of the mirror at any time to attack the enemy. .

In the previous battle between Katsuki Daido and Wei Asakura, Wei Asakura had already tricked Katsuki Daido, relying on the characteristics of the Viper King as a mirror world monster to directly attack Katsuki Daido.

If it weren't for the excellent defense of Dao Keji's Eternal Robe, the attack from the Viper King alone might have been enough to maim Eternal.

And now, even if Hibiki opposite Ryuga evolves into a new fighting form, Ryuga can still make a rough inference based on Hibiki's outfit - this guy's defense is still as strong as a dish.

Eternal survived because the defense of his biological armor was high enough, and the defense of the Eternal Robe was unreasonably strong, but Hibiki had neither of these two things.

In other words, if Eternal can take a blow from the contract beast forcefully, if it is thrown at Hibiki, Hibiki will probably not have much fighting ability even if he does not die suddenly on the spot.

As for dragging Hibiki into the mirror world and letting him die because he cannot leave the mirror world...

——Ryuga would never do this.

It's not because he has kind thoughts in his heart and feels that this kind of competition will not lead to death.

Mainly, Ryuga really doesn't have much time left.

He didn't know if the curse of 9 minutes and 55 seconds was still on his reflection in the mirror, and now that Hibiki was thrown into the mirror world, before Hibiki disappeared, the time limit was less than 9 minutes and 55 seconds, Ryuga might Disappear first.

He finally had a usable physical body in the real world, so how could he be willing to completely disappear because of something like this!

Therefore, under Hibiki's prompt, Ryuga drew the [Advant (Summon Advent)] card and loaded it into the Dark Dragon Summoning Mecha.

But after completing the filling, he did not slide the Dark Dragon Summon Mecha and chose to read this powerful card.

"Ha, so that's what you think."

Seeing Ryuga who not only did not use the card but continued to kill him, Hibiki immediately understood what he meant.

The black flying dragon was certainly terrifying, but the most terrifying thing was not that Dragon Teeth summoned the flying dragon, but that he temporarily chose not to use the flying dragon to fight with himself.

If Ryuga summoned the Dark Dragon now, Hibiki would be easily cornered again in a one versus two situation.

But if Ryuga doesn't summon the Dark Dragon, Hibiki - he must always be on guard against Ryuga's summoning action, and summon the Dark Dragon to attack Hibiki from an angle that Hibiki may not be able to see, and may not be able to react to if he sees it. Fatal attack.

Cards that are not played are the strongest deterrents. Because Long Ya knew this, he was only prepared to swipe the card instead of swiping the card directly.

Of course, the main reason why he dared to make this move was because Ryuga was very confident in his own strength - he believed that Hibiki would be distracted when he was wary of him swiping his card.

And even after the distracted Hibiki evolved - he was no match for Ryuga.

Ah, looking at it this way, it turns out that I have been underestimated.

Today's young people are more and more promiscuous and like to take risks in battle.

After tightly holding the sound stick in his hand, Hibiki advanced instead of retreating, making the same move as Ryuga.

The two knights had no intention of giving in and charged directly towards the enemy in front of them.

Long Ya lost his saber at this time, and the manhole cover that Long Qi was holding was blown away to an unknown place - of course, Long Ya didn't bother to care about the manhole cover, he was just attacking.

Without the Dark Dragon Tail Knife, although the output mode of the Dark Dragon Claw [Fire + AP Value Increase] is stronger than the Dark Dragon Tail Knife, the problem is that the Dragon Claw is shorter. In a weapon battle, every inch is longer and every inch is stronger. As long as The flames filled by the dragon's teeth failed to hit the enemy, so it would be difficult for him to fill the flames again.

As for using this thing as a boxing glove...

Fortunately for others, for Hibiki who evolved into the [red] form in front of him, it would be difficult for Ryuga's gloves to hit the enemy.

Originally Ryuga's reaction speed, as his adaptability to the body became stronger and stronger, if it had been before, even if his experience and skills were not as good as Hibiki, sooner or later he would have been able to rely on his reaction speed to fight unreasonably in close combat. Overwhelm Hibiki.

But now, he is evolving... Hibiki has also evolved.

After entering the [red] Hibiki, the shooting speed has increased again. After the improvement, Ryuga's shooting speed can't keep up, which is very embarrassing.

After about ten moves in the exchange, Ryuga had basically determined that it was already an unreliable plan to rely on controlling the adaptability of his body to increase his reaction speed to suppress the enemy.

From the beginning, his body's adaptability was stuck in an extremely embarrassing position - he was one step away from taking over his body, but he just couldn't take this step.

Although Hibiki still only uses Flat A to fight him, an embarrassing problem arises - now Hibiki with the increased power of Flat A is about to hit him in the face, and if he doesn't think of a way, he can only wait to be beaten. After fainting, I gave up this body.

"Hey, you guy!"

After his own punch was blocked by Hibiki's double sticks, Ryuga finally spurted out the flames that had been accumulated in the Dark Dragon's claws in annoyance.

"You can't dodge at such a close distance, right?"

"Wrong, this is what I'm waiting for."

In fact, while Ryuga's movements became more and more impatient, Hibiki became more and more calm.

He didn't know what the enemy was anxious about, but the more anxious the enemy was, the easier it was to expose his flaws.

And when the enemy reveals a flaw, he will counterattack.

Now, Ryuga has exposed his flaws due to his excessive anxiety.

Ryuga's two greatest threats to Hibiki are the Dark Dragon he did not summon, and the petrified flame bomb he filled in the dragon's claws.

But now, after Ryuga handed over the first card, his threat to Hibiki has become smaller.

As for whether this card has any actual effect...

Anyway, Hibiki, who was already on guard against Ryuga, had already thought of how to respond to the enemy's attack.

During many weapon parry and block battles, Ryuga's dark dragon claws, relying on its terrifying physical strike and destructive power, still caused huge damage to the sound stick [Fire] in Hibiki's hand.

If he continued playing like this, Hibiki's sound stick might even be scrapped on the spot due to too many cracks within one minute.

The ghost who lost his weapon can only rely on physical skills to fight, but here comes the problem - the Hibiki ghost now has more than one set of weapons.

The second updated rule in the 0.4Ver version of [Knight Arena Rules] is

——Based on the previously added rules, knights will receive a set of knight props that can theoretically be used when the battle progresses to a certain extent.

Hibiki already has a set of sonic weapons including Sonic Rod Agni. This is another reason why he dares to use Sonic Rod Agni and Ryuga to play weapon battles - he has a second set of weapons, which can be broken Just change it.

At the moment when the dragon's fangs sprayed out black flames, Hibiki had already noticed that the temperature of the dark dragon's claws began to rise. The moment the opponent sprayed out flame bombs, he had already let go of the almost broken sound stick in his hand to avoid When the sound stick was burned, the petrification effect petrified his body along with the sound stick.

And because Ryuga's attack was too hasty, he used a little more force.
