No Fight, No Survival

Chapter 81 No Fight, No Survival

The atmosphere inside the Blue Star Federation Monitoring Center remained heavy.

"What on earth is this kid up to?" The Federal Head of State frowned, his tone tinged with surprise. "Is he really that weak, or is he just faking it?"

Qin Zhang pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, his tone resolute: "In this life, he should truly be this weak, not feigning it. His current state is more like that of a novice who has just come into contact with the power of Kamen Rider, completely unaware of his own strength."

boom-

Jiang Lan, who had been knocked away by the giant spider, was once again hurtling towards Qiu Shanlian. Seeing this, Qiu Shanlian could no longer restrain herself. She raised the winged spear in her hand and with a light swing, deflected Jiang Lan, who was hurtling towards her, preventing the two from colliding.

Bang!

Jiang Lan slammed heavily against the wall beside him, slowly sliding down. He looked down at the broken military knife in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. Why did his weapon break so easily? Why could the weapon summoned by Akiyama Ren unleash such powerful strength?

"Stop causing trouble!" Akiyama Ren snapped at Jiang Lan, his tone full of helplessness and impatience. He had originally thought Jiang Lan had some skill, but he hadn't expected him to be a complete novice who couldn't even use a weapon. Not only was he useless, he was also a hindrance to him.

Before he finished speaking, Akiyama Ren drew another card from the card box at his waist and precisely inserted it into the Dark Summoner.

【ADVENT (Contract Arrives)!】

戾—

A hoarse, piercing cry came from the sky. Akiyama Ren's contracted beast—Dark Wing Bat—spread its huge wings and swooped down from the clouds at high speed, pouncing towards the giant spider.

This dark-winged bat can not only fuse with Akiyama Ren, granting him the ability to fly, but it can also release ultrasonic attacks from its mouth, which are extremely powerful.

boom!

The Darkwing Bat slammed into the giant spider, sending it staggering backward. Then, Akiyama Ren's voice rang out again, sharp and undeniable: "FINAL—VENT! (Final Descent!)"

Akiyama Ren unleashed his ultimate technique, wielding a winged spear, and dashed towards the giant spider. The Dark Winged Bat cried out, flew behind Akiyama Ren, spread its enormous wings, and merged with his body, transforming into a black cloak that wrapped around him.

"Ha!"

Akiyama Ren leaped high into the air, his black cloak tightly wrapping around his body, transforming into a black spiral that plummeted from the sky with earth-shattering power, crashing heavily into the giant spider.

Boom! Bang!

A violent explosion rang out, and the giant spider's body was instantly blasted into fragments by Akiyama Ren's ultimate attack, dissipating into countless specks of light in the air. A terrifying heat wave and shockwave swept outwards, and even Jiang Lan, who was standing at a distance, was forced to retreat by the force, a look of horror on his face.

"Wait!" Jiang Lan rushed to Qiu Shanlian's side and asked urgently, "You should be human like me, right? What's going on? What are these armor pieces, the card case in my hand, and this strange world?"

Akiyama Ren glanced at Jiang Lan coldly, without answering any of his questions, his tone full of impatience—he was too lazy to pay attention to this newbie who was dragging him down, and turned to walk towards the exit of the Mirror World.

Just then, a blazing fireball suddenly struck from the sky, aimed directly at Jiang Lan and Qiu Shanlian!

Akiyama Ren reacted quickly, instinctively pushing Jiang Lan away from her.

Rumble!

The fireball landed where the two had just stood and exploded instantly, with scorching flames sweeping in all directions and thick smoke billowing out.

roar-

A deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Everyone looked up and saw a crimson dragon spreading its huge wings and circling in the clouds. Its golden eyes were fixed on Jiang Lan and Qiu Shanlian below, radiating a terrifying pressure.

"Is it here?" Akiyama Ren looked up at the crimson dragon in the sky, his face showing a hint of solemnity and vigilance.

Before he finished speaking, Akiyama Ren turned and ran wildly toward a glass curtain wall not far away. His body was gradually turning into particles, clearly indicating that he was about to reach his limit in the mirror world.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Lan asked hurriedly, his voice tinged with panic. He was still a novice and knew nothing about the Mirror World; he could only find a sense of security by sticking close to Qiu Shanlian.

"You can't stay in this world for too long, or you'll be devoured by the power of the Mirror World and die. You should leave here quickly too." Qiu Shanren shouted to Jiang Lan behind him as he ran. Before he finished speaking, he jumped into the glass curtain wall next to him and disappeared instantly, leaving the Mirror World.

boom!

Another fireball exploded beside Jiang Lan, the scorching shockwave knocking him to the ground. Without hesitation, Jiang Lan quickly got up and, imitating Qiu Shanlian, ran towards a glass wall not far away, jumped in, and exited the mirror world.

When Jiang Lan opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a soft sofa in an unfamiliar room.

"You're awake?" a gentle female voice called out.

Jiang Lan slowly sat up and looked up. He saw Kanzaki Yui and Akiyama Ren sitting on the sofa opposite him, looking at him calmly. "It's you two? Where is this place?" Jiang Lan asked subconsciously, his tone somewhat blank.

Kanzaki Yui nodded slightly, a gentle smile on her face: "Don't worry, this is the real world. I brought you here."

Then, Kanzaki Yui patiently explained everything to Jiang Lan: those who possess the card set can sense the existence of the Mirror World and see the monsters lurking within it; and those Mirror Monsters feed on human life energy, constantly capturing humans in the real world and dragging them into the Mirror World to devour them.

Kanzaki Yui paused, then continued, her tone becoming serious: "You've been targeted by that crimson dragon. Once it locks onto you, it will relentlessly hunt you down until it devours you. But if you can successfully seal the crimson dragon using the contract card, you can form a contract with it and turn it into your own contracted beast."

"Just remember, once you make a contract with a monster, there is no turning back. You will become a Kamen Rider, fighting against Mirror Monsters and competing with other Kamen Riders for the rest of your life. Because under this rule, only one Kamen Rider can survive in the end."

Upon hearing this, the viewers in front of the screen were all shocked, their hearts filled with astonishment.

What a cruel era this is! Without fighting, there is no survival; and the enemies of Kamen Rider include not only the ferocious Mirror Monster, but also fellow Kamen Riders. They must fight to the death until the last survivor is determined.

"Holy crap! What kind of hellish mode is Jiang Lan living in this life? It's so cruel!"

"It's over, it's over. Jiang Lan in this life is just a complete novice. He can't even use a proper weapon properly. How could he possibly survive to the end under such cruel rules?"

"Who set these rules? Why force the Kamen Riders to kill each other?"

"Did I hear that right? The enemy of Kamen Rider is actually another Kamen Rider? That's outrageous!"

"If Jiang Lan can sign a contract with that crimson dragon, his strength should increase significantly, right? He might even be able to put up a fight."

The discussions were incessant, and everyone was on tenterhooks for Jiang Lan's fate in this life.

The memory fragments flowed again, and the scene switched to a short time later.

The monster from the Mirror World has reappeared and is wreaking havoc in the real world—this time it is still a spider monster, but compared to the previous one, it has evolved into an enhanced version, taking on a half-humanoid form, and its strength has undergone a qualitative leap, becoming more ferocious and powerful.

These mirror monsters feed on humans, constantly plundering their life energy to enhance their own power.

In the scene, the enhanced spider monster is dragging a woman into the mirror world, leaving behind a young girl who is crying helplessly, hoping that her mother will return soon.

Upon learning that someone had been dragged into the Mirror World by the Mirror Monster, Akiyama Ren did not hesitate at all. He immediately transformed into Night Rider and plunged into the Mirror World to rescue the captured woman.

Jiang Lan stood there, watching the helpless, crying little girl. His heart was deeply pierced, and a firm, irreversible decision quietly took shape in his mind.

Jiang Lan turned around and found Kanzaki Yui, saying with a determined look in her eyes, "Please give me back my card set. I want to transform into Kamen Rider and fight those mirror monsters."

He knew that once he picked up the card set again and became a Kamen Rider, his fate would be completely changed, and he would be plunged into an endless battle, surrounded by dangers, where he could lose his life at any moment.

However, he could not back down.

He didn't want to see anyone shed tears because of the Mirror Monster anymore, and he didn't want to see innocent people being ruthlessly devoured. He wanted to protect these ordinary lives and the world he depended on for survival.

Seeing the determination and resolve in Jiang Lan's eyes, Kanzaki Yui knew he had made up his mind, so she stopped trying to dissuade him. She slowly took out the card set she had taken from Jiang Lan earlier, and pulled out a contract card with a dragon pattern on it, handing it to Jiang Lan: "Since you have made up your mind, then please sign a contract with that crimson dragon. It will become your strongest power and your lifelong bond."

Jiang Lan took the contract card, feeling a warm touch on his fingertips. He could hear the continuous buzzing of dragon roars in his ears. He could clearly sense that the crimson dragon was nearby, waiting to sign a contract with him.

Jiang Lan slowly raised the contract card in her hand, her eyes firm and without the slightest hesitation.

roar-

A deafening dragon roar resounded through the heavens and earth. The crimson dragon suddenly emerged from the glass curtain wall of the building next to it, its massive body coiling above Jiang Lan's head, radiating a terrifying pressure, yet showing no intention of attacking—it was waiting for Jiang Lan's summons.

The next second, the crimson dragon transformed into a streak of red light and slowly flew into the contract card in Jiang Lan's hand, where it was completely sealed.

An extremely terrifying crimson light erupted from Jiang Lan's body, dazzling and overwhelming. Kanzaki Yui was forced to retreat repeatedly by the powerful energy that spread out, a look of horror on her face.

As the light faded, Jiang Lan's figure reappeared on the screen—he was once again clad in heavy armor. Unlike his previous blank form, this time, a clear dragon head emblem appeared on his card set. His armor was no longer a monotonous gray-white, but instead shone with a dazzling crimson color. A ferocious dragon head emblem also appeared on his forehead, and the summoner in his right hand had transformed into the shape of a dragon head. The undergarment beneath the armor had also turned a fiery crimson.

At this moment, Jiang Lan officially signed a contract with Wushuanglong and transformed into Kamen Rider Ryuki!

Jiang Lan, who was once a powerful and invincible figure, a strongman with boundless potential, is about to unleash his true strength in this cruel world!

The audience in front of the screen were also incredibly excited, with cheers and shouts rising and falling.

coming!

finally come!

Jiang Lan, now possessing full power, has officially debuted as Kamen Rider Ryuki!

In the subsequent memory fragments, Jiang Lan, transformed into a dragon rider, used a series of stunning battles to show everyone what it meant to conceal one's true strength and what the true demeanor of a powerful warrior was.
