Chapter 505

Will Asuh join the Tragic Kingdom?

The Sacred Sword can enhance its power and unleash unimaginable strength as per the user’s passionate heart.

Now, the Dark Sword Genmoon in Asuh’s hand is releasing incredible power in tandem with his stern aura, with deep purple dragon flames winding around the golden blade. The slash marks it leaves behind, shaped like crescent moons, almost tear open and consume the clown into endless darkness at this place before him.

Yet gazing at the space swept clean ahead, Asuh’s brow tightened even more, since he didn’t feel the actual sensation of his sword hitting anything.

To dodge such a surprise attack is truly troublesome.

Moreover, he could trace back to this spot, bypassing defenses and getting within ten meters behind him. Had it not been for recent training in intuition, he might have overlooked it.

Though this guy keeps claiming to be equal to that puppy, clearly from appearance, he isn’t on par with an officer. This aligns with what the prophecies of the Dark Sword Genmoon foretold.

Even though the sword cannot see far ahead, could this higher-ranked sentry-level officer also be just a clone of the boss?

“Oh my goodness, what a close call, really dangerous. I nearly lost it at the hands of that sword!”

Asuh’s grip twisted under the sword’s weight, bringing his head down. Clad in a hat with one crooked point, Joker was tiptoeing on his blade as if performing tricks.

“Heheheh, Mr. Wangjian, could you kindly put down that sword? It’s so sharp and dangerous; hurting the flowers would be no good.”

Joker sensed the strike and was somewhat startled at how formidable human power had proven, although seemingly insufficient against Emperor Pierrot.

“See, getting angry is bad for health. If I apologize, will you stop being mad?”

“If you had knocked before entering, I’d likely not be so mad.”

“My apologies, I couldn’t find the door.”

Joker indeed found no sign of a door and finally infiltrated through supernatural means.

Ignoring explanations, Asuh’s arm rolled up and evaded. Now, Joker somersaulted neatly onto the table behind him, where the former position was now filled by a maelstrom of blade shadows.

I’ve always posed riddles, when did I ever have them pose to me? Though I know your lines, it’s still useful.

Repressing anger, Asuh decided to cooperate for strategy’s sake.

“Do you want to fight me or amuse me into laughter?”

“Ah, misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding.”

Adjusting his hat and bowing exaggeratedly, Joker continued, “Actually, I commend your disciplining Wolfrun. It’s valuable experience, essential for growing into a top officer serving Emperor Pierrot.”

“I don’t care if he’s called emperor by that dog or other.”

Seeing the stunned, hostile reaction, Asuh took satisfaction.

“First question: How did you sneak in?”

Joker lifted his hands, revealing a small, flickering red device.

Asuh caught the device, recognizing it as the tracking beacon hidden earlier.

“In all honesty, I came to see if you were inviting me, hence making me a guest.”

“Second: Why does the Tragic Kingdom seek trouble with Cure?”

“You and I should get along well.” Joker continued, mimicking actions about girls. “It’s naturally linked to our shared dislike of those Precures.”

“Indeed, taking away their powers and putting justice-seekers into despair—your actions truly benefit us.”

“So, you wish me to join the Tragic Kingdom. If we help revive Emperor Pierrot and achieve cosmic tragedy, you’ll gain much.”

“So you want me to persuade you into joining?”

Asuh narrowed his eyes, intrigued.

“It would greatly benefit us if you, who studies tragic ends, join as an officer.”

“But wasting your talents alone is a waste, not?”

“If I join, then these Precures…”

“Of course!” Joker understood the bargaining. “If you care about them, I’ll aid against the Precures.”

Waving his armored right hand, Asuh unleashed a tragic future.

### Prologue to Masked Rider Wangjian’s Background ###

In a room filled with books and decorated whimsically, a flamboyantly dressed bearded man declared, “I am Liusu!”

From a cane-chair, Liusu opened a book about Wang Jian titled “Masked Rider Acting as Villain in Pretty Cure” as he explained, “After this frustrating period, let’s read the prelude.”

The illustrated book displayed real scenes.

One scene showed how Asuh as Masked Rider Wangjian traveled with Miyuki to the Pretty Cure secret base, confronting four nervous girls.

“Through Genmoon’s prophecy, Asuh finds the world better protected by his methods than the innocent Cures.”

He visited “Amazing Library” to confront them.

Then, meeting with Aoki Rihua successfully, he harshly departed, leaving Miyuki concerned.

“The Tragic Kingdom’s Joker offered a deal regarding Cures. Now, Asuh faces a decisive battle between light and dark.”

“The outcomes remain uncertain. I feel it!”

Closing the book, Liusu mingled with arriving girls unnoticed, waiting for the spark of conflict.

Another scene ended as the masked writer closed his book with the others in the library, anticipating new readers.
