Chapter Fifty-Six: Witnessing the Growth of a Girl
Two evil seals were swiftly pulled from the waist and pressed onto the accelerator panel.
“【Scorpion!】 [Grasshopper!]”
Facing Erika who was standing guard, Ash really meant to put on a show this time. Tugging at his armor collar, he tapped on his side accelerator as if awakening a sleeping hamster.
“Kayin, you need to bring out your real strength this time.”
“Damn,” the panel on the accelerator turned into something vicious. “Do you really want to burn your life? They are waiting for you!”
“A~ah~ Kayin-san, you know what I mean.” The man spoke with an easy-going voice, making Erika shiver as she heard him trivialize her life. “You’re me, you should know I can’t afford to live much longer. Do I have time to waste if I live long?”
“… ” Erika still couldn’t understand his nonsense but hearing Timons talk about gambling with her life made her feel cold.
“Mr. Timons!” Erika’s voice caught Ash’s attention. “Regardless of what you intend, life is precious, so please don’t treat it so lightly!”
“I’m your enemy!” Hearing her words, Ash laughed heartily and patted his chest with a crisp sound.” You still care about your enemy’s affairs; that just proves I didn’t exert myself enough. Kayin, give me power; it’s an order!”
“….. Fine.”
Crimson energy surged like lightning throughout his body, filling his fists with demonic light. Ash, empowered, laughed in satisfaction.
Just how it should be.
“【Add! Dominate! Scorpion Grasshopper Genomix!】”
Pressing the sides of the accelerator, crimson lightning played on the exterior of the knight armor. The intense pressure caused the armored form to tremble uncontrollably, nearly falling down.
After all, this was an apparatus capable of taking lives; the burden of a dual-genome mix was only natural and even more perilous.
I’m even more excited!
“Although I dislike physical type transformations that mess up the body.”
In Erika’s horrified gaze, Ash’s legs twisted into opposing, joint-based legs like last time, and his back twisted into a spiked tail. The guttural sounds of her flesh churning in her stomach made her almost vomit up the dessert she had at the cafe.
“Just recently, the dark echoes have made me stronger.” Ash twisted his neck, emitting a crisp sound.
“You better take good care of me, little flower~ Erika~”
Before she could reply, his powerful jumping legs propelled him upwards, fiercely stomping on the ground at Blossom. Despite Erika’s strength in deflecting him, the appendages pinching her arms continued to squeeze, causing immense pain.
“Blossom, behind you, danger!”
Cifrey’s cry snapped Erika back to attention. She immediately remembered that this time, Ash had grown another mutated limb. She quickly reacted by lying on the ground,顺势摔倒了下去，顺势把Ash摔到了后面，险之又险地避开了背后刺来的蝎尾。
看到尾端闪烁着血红光芒，Erika毫不意外这玩意刺中她可能会导致悲惨的后果。
无视一边Scorpion Lena的“这蝎子刺明明是我的专利！”的呼喊，Ash对Erika的表现初步满意。
“不错，我对你的成长感到欣慰~”
“谢、谢谢。”对于Ash这种在战斗中甚至会夸奖对手的行为，Erika无论如何还是习惯不了。
“所以说，手下留情也就到此为止了。”
欸，这还算手下留情吗？
Erika立刻明白了他这句话的意思，不断的跳跃让她无法躲避所有的攻击，踢下的重腿又能给予少女迎头痛击，凶狠的蝎尾更是在脚下的草坪上留下一道道燃烧的痕迹。在对方一波接一波的攻击下，缺乏勇气的Erika只能拼命躲闪。
少女下意识地想求助于与她并肩作战的Erika，但转眼看到蓝色的光之美少女正被巨龙的荒漠怪逼得四处逃窜，显然也陷入了苦战。
Erika…不能再依赖别人的力量!
擦去脸上的汗水和灰尘，少女在Ash凝视的目光下重新站起。
如果想要拯救这次的Eddie先生，想要夺回Timons手中的心之种子，我也必须坚强起来才行！
“Blossom！他如果使用道具的话，我们也一样能做到！”旁边的Cifrey适时出现，全力为搭档送出了提示。“使用红色的心之种子，喷洒出来，提升速度！”
“哦，对哦！”
Erika突然想起，不仅假面骑士有强化道具，她们光之美少女也有啊！她们的心之种子中有一种红色的种子，能让移动和攻击速度大幅提升！
“提升速度！”
将种子放入香水瓶，对准自己喷洒，一股浓郁的玫瑰香气中，Erika全身散发出粉红色的光芒，少女化为一道高速不可见的影子向Ash冲去。
“什么—— ”
面甲内高科技锁定系统瞬间丢失了目标。当Ash本能地偏头时，从装甲上传来的冲击感把他抛飞，他已经中招了！
好快的速度，完全无法用肉眼捕捉，简直像是在与Clockup和数据加速战斗一般！
“挺好，挺好！”尽管像是被卷入旋风中心，不断受到高速攻击而身体乒乓作响，Timon的声音却愈发愉快。“力量与速度指数已经达到了4.5！4.6！这家伙的能量指数还在不断上升，这下真是有趣极了！”
“请不要侮辱我！”
看到了！
眼角捕捉到一丝红光，Ash猛然挥动背后的蝎尾，果然，停不住的Erika正好撞了上去。
不好意思，对我这个极速者来说，我可是很有应对经验的啊。
“Getoverhere！”
喉咙里发出了一声异常嘶吼，缠绕在Erika细腰上的尾巴将她扯了过来，凝聚着血红光芒的拳头蓄势待发！
被抓住的少女不再慌乱，如今的她已不再是那个会因为恐惧而动弹不得的脆弱自我，少女几乎立刻做出了反应，借助被扯离的冲力，反而爆发全身的力量，反过来向Ash猛冲而去。
“Blossom Buttock Punch！(花蕾天使全身撞击)”
类似于某位蓝色家伙失去原则的“臀部拳”，Erika全身包裹在粉红色光芒中，化为一颗极速子弹，与Ash的拳头全力碰撞在一起。
“轰————！”
巨大的爆炸将两人同时抛飞出去。
