Chapter 388

One Hundred Twenty-Three Climax Jump

“Transformation!”

With the sound effect, a dreamlike orbit encircled the belt. In the fragments of light, the battle suit specific to Kamen Rider Den-O was fixed upon his body. Accompanied by the sound of a train’s whistle, the three corresponding Den-O cards for the demons were placed on Ash’s shoulder and chest. Then, the peach-like mask split from the middle and slid to both sides.

With a dull sound, Ash clapped his palms. He transformed into the climax form of Kamen Rider Den-O, raising his thumb at himself and then spreading his arms in an exaggerated pose.

“I have arrived!”

After Ash relaxed his spirit and yielded control, Momotaros now controlled the body.

“Can it be? You’re actually not saying anything. This is rare.”

“Just do whatever you want.” After speaking irresponsibly, Ash yawned and burrowed into his spiritual world’s blanket.

He realized the consumption affected not just life but also one’s mind. It felt like he aged psychologically as it wore on. Not something he had anticipated.

Fortunately, Momotaros and the others were here. Delegating the burden to the demons would spread the cost. Though he felt bad about his former friends…

“Oh, then I won’t hold back!”

He raised his hand, extended his waist, and raised his leg, jumping over a hundred meters. The Flying Bat Demon looked even further down and got thrown off by Den-O.

“Heh, I’ve always wanted to transform this way once.” Holding his fist, Momotaros laughed with the success of a trickster. “I can’t let this chance slip!”

“Senior, isn’t this the time to discuss this?” accompanied with the movement of Den-O’s right arm jumping on its own. “While I understand, this might not be the appropriate moment.”

“Momo, we should finish this guy off first,” the golden-masked shoulder said. “Ash and that girl planned to defeat it; as friends, we have to help out.”

Before Momotaros could reply, the purple mask pulled Den-O towards himself and jumped.

“Just because Ash and the girl agreed to defeat it, don’t ignore our bond! Idiot! Idiot!”

Ah… So noisy…

When Ash, in his mental bed, poked his head out, he immediately retreated back into sleep mode.

“Noisy, I know. Let’s finish this!”

“Kamen Rider!”

While Momotaros and the group were engaging in internal fighting, the Flying Bat pointed at him. “This world is not your world. What I’m seeking is this man alone. Leave me be!”

“What?”

All the demons ceased their conflict, aligning themselves against the enemy.

“You, we are riding them right now. What nonsense are you spouting?”

Grasping the situation, Kamen Rider took steps toward the Flying Bat, removing the Electric Slice from his sides and combining them into sword mode. A red energy blade with electric sparks quickly appeared.

“Also, Ash is my friend. You say we have no connection, so who are you?”

In a barbaric and irrational step, Kamen Rider charged forward bellowing while swinging the Electric Slice, straight at the opponent.

“Aaaah…”

The conductor’s mouth opened wide, gawking out the window.

“This transformation into Kamen Rider in another world, what should we do now?”

“This is happening at that Singularity where Ash is involved,” Ami smiled, taking away the conductor’s clean plate and looking out the window. “It’s heartening to see him still fond of those hero stories.”

“Indeed, our Ash is still like a child at heart.”

“It’s a good thing he’s still young.”

Content that no anomaly existed, the conductor regained his smile and retrieved a Time Management paper from his pocket. Skimming over the rules, he scribbled down three characters at the bottom.

“No anomaly.”

“I’ve always been in CLimax mode! Here I go, here I go!”

Using the blade more like a club, Urataros wielded the Electric Slice as if it were a heavy iron rod, wildly hacking at the Flying Bat, sparks flying everywhere.

“Devil, when did Kamen Rider get so strong?!”

“Hehe, that’s the power of our bond with Ash!” As Momotaros exclaimed proudly, Urataros shouted from nearby. “The strength shouldn’t solely come from bonds.”

“And in reality, do these ‘bonds’ truly exist?”

“Naseyek! Turtle, don’t undermine me!”

Flying under continuous pressure, the Flying Bat fiercely spread its wings, propelling itself with a blast of air, knocking Den-O back. Like a whirling boomerang, it flew high and cut through the enemy’s chest with sharp blows.

How could I, once considered a fierce and elite destroyer of time, be beaten so easily?!

“Bloody bat, I’ll rip off your wings!”

Once again, falling from a steep dive, the chest armor of Kamen Rider crackling with electricity, crashed onto the ground, clutching his head.

Seizing it was impossible, such a fast and aerial opponent—urgh, even Urataros would struggle to catch it.

What to do, think of a tactic or find an opportunity!

“The next attack will be two seconds later.”

Urataros jolted hearing the voice, seemingly coming from nowhere, distinct from inside the electric train.

“Hey, who are you…?”

“Coming, from 7 o’clock, a 45-degree angle downwards, fast!”

Body reacting faster than thought, dodging the torrent from behind, he sprawled on the ground and slashed horizontally with the Electric Slice as a spinning top, hitting the bat’s waist.

“How did you, caught me?!”

“Ha, you got me!” Seeing the irritative figure getting hit, Momotaros rejoiced. “Say where are you hiding?”

“Right here!” The voice again beside his ear. “Next to your head, look around!”

“What, making a fool of me… Ack!”

Turning toward the voice, Momotaros met eyes close-up. Squared off, a gray-purple doll sat on his shoulder.

“What, a doll… Wait, doll?!”

“Yo~dono Momotaros. I’m Kayin, the demon hidden within Ash.”

Facing the rapid attacks of the Flying Bat, Momotaros who showed no fear was frightened enough to sit down.

“Talks… Don’t approach, don’t come closer!”

Momotaros was sweating, remembering when Ash showed the movie “Ghost in the Doll O” during a horror screening on the train. It scared Ryotaro so badly, he himself couldn’t help being terrified!

“Y-y-y-you, what are you?!”

Shockingly, the doll on his shoulder not only spoke but seemed alive, waving at him, startling Momotaros further.

(Actually, its winged part didn’t appear)
