Chapter 28: with translation of chapter title

He bet his life and won; this Tooth Blood Vampire failed to seize the chance to attack his back,

He had already prepared to block the Tooth Blood Vampire's attack with his back, but this Tooth Blood Vampire didn't attack, so I won this battle.

The ixa Gauntlet was preparing to attack Jiang Xia's chest in this situation, at zero distance.

"I bite." A strange voice suddenly came from beside. Minghu Qijie glanced sideways, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

A bat that looked very familiar was biting Jiang Xia's wrist.

Minghu recognized it: this is the bat worn on Kiva's waist, so the Tooth Blood Vampire I'm fighting is Kiva.

Hong Du didn't deceive me; he really found Kiva.

And if B Rank is converted to combat power, it equals officers, tanks, queens, bishops.

However, to prevent Minghu Qijie from getting hung up on the Kiva issue, he still left something inside Minghu Qijie's body.

Ha!

Kival left the waist, the original Kiva also revealed Jiang Xia's monster's ferocious face; now his chest has a fist-sized hollow.

Kamen Rider Kiva (Fusion Form), appears.

Even if Jiang Xia now wears Kiva and becomes Fusion Form, he's only B- at best, can't even beat a tank.

The demonic emperor power of Dark Kiva not only affects the body, but also has tremendous corrosive power on the soul.

If not treated promptly, he might die from excessive blood loss; fortunately, although there are many wounds, none have damaged vital organs.

Jiang Xia continued:

However, as long as there's an opportunity, directly putting on Dark Kiva will let his strength jump straight from B- into A's realm.

Abilities: Metamorphosis (can transform recorded monsters), Myriad Changes (possesses all abilities of the material monsters).

Knight Form: Kamen Rider Kiva, Kamen Rider Ixa.

But it consumes a lot of life; with Jiang Xia's current physique, one use takes ten years, a few more uses and his lifespan is completely used up.

The originally red pectoral muscles turned directly into purple armor, protruding outward, and the seals on both shoulders opened.

The ixa Gauntlet is aimed at that purple armor with its defense maxed out.

Hearing Jiang Xia's words, Minghu Qijie only felt a pang in his chest, then knew nothing more.

A sound wave suddenly emanated from Jiang Xia's body.

It surged straight toward Minghu, who had collapsed helplessly on the ground.

Power rating: B-

Transmigration condition: kill the current world's King of Fang Vampires.

If it weren't for having Kival, that blow just now would definitely take a long time to recover from.

Jiang Xia sighed, he really is sick, really bored, he could have just used Kiva's power to give Minghu a beating, but instead he insisted on using his flesh to fight the armor.

One turned into blue spikes, another into white net-like armor, and a pair of small wings grew on the back.

I don't know how many times Jiang Xia has felt admiration for Hong Yin as well.

Evolution degree: D+

Lifespan: 200 years (Earth time).

Powerful energy surged instantly from the ixa Gauntlet, a mass of intense red energy blast, fiercely striking Kiva at this moment.

Looking at Jiang Xia bitten by the bat, Minghu suddenly widened his eyes, realizing something.

Monster Form: Unknown Tooth Blood Vampire (Fusion Form).

He covered his chest and lightly waved his right hand.

Watching Minghu Qijie being pushed away by the doctor, Jiang Xia placed the ixa Gauntlet he'd picked up nearby in the hospital's storage and explained it belonged to Minghu Qijie.

"You don't really think I didn't see your left hand's movement, do you? I also used the ixa, right after snatching it from your hand,

"I thoroughly tested the ixa's performance, so I know its combat data inside out,

"Your attack methods are too easy to predict; even without Kival I wouldn't die, at most I'd just need a bit more recovery time." Jiang Xia laughed.

The surroundings suddenly turned somewhat pale, a sticky feeling instantly enveloping this area.

So, just send him to the hospital and let the doctor handle it.

Agito has superpowers in human form, while Kuuga is pure flesh armor; together they equal present-day Jiang Xia.

A healthy ordinary human, once bitten, won't even get the chance to wear Dark Kiva, and will end with soul shattering and body dissipating, completely disappearing from this world.

"How should I deal with you—kill you or let you go? No, I've come up with a good idea."

In Minghu's desperate gaze, Jiang Xia slowly walked up to Minghu.

Chains continuously flowed over Kiva's body, the Tooth Blood Vampire's power directly reacting on Kiva's body.

Monsters and knights have no essential difference, just as the saying goes: 'Kamen Rider, friend and foe share the same origin'.

Jiang Xia's feeling is similar to Kuuga's, except he can also use abilities in human form; it should be Agito plus Kuuga.

He stomped hard, rubbing his feet on the ground, and two deep grooves were gouged out of the concrete-covered ground.

You say, is he sick? Having armor but not wearing it, insisting on hand-to-hand combat.

The claw lightly pressed on Minghu Qijie's chest, then a light press.

The ixa armor on Minghu Qijie's body instantly reached its limit, turning entirely into particles and being reclaimed into the ixa Gauntlet.

With the sound of shattering glass, the originally ferocious Tooth Blood Vampire's head has been replaced by a Kiva bearing two pairs of horns and yellow eyes occupying most of it.

Instantly, the originally sunken spot was wrapped in blood threads, interconnected, and within a few seconds the wounded chest was healed.

Countless tough, soft, white filaments followed in the air.

Even after being drained half by Delan Castle, still able to transform into Dark Kiva three times in human form, this still lets the Tooth Blood Vampire Queen successfully conceive—this vitality is stronger than a cockroach's.

This is still the case with Jiang Xia having Tooth Blood Vampire lineage.

Compared to spider silk, this filament is tougher, also possessing the sticky feel of spider silk, as if it's the result of combining the filaments of two organisms.

After all, the monster is just a piece of flesh armor.

But that said, Jiang Xia has already prepared to transform into Dark Kiva; it's only a ten‑year lifespan, he can afford it, and he's still young now.

Evolution material: Spider Fang Vampire….

The white, viscous filaments tightened further, binding Minghu Qikai tightly,

The viscous filaments caused no harm to Minghu Qikai; although ixa's helmet has now vanished, the armor on Minghu's body still fulfills its protective duty.

Jiang Xia stepped back several paces, and the powerful impact instantly flung his body backward,

Jiang Xia swept his right hand across Minghu Qikai's chest; now the wounds on his body are already severe.

Race: Human

Looking at the already unconscious Minghu Qikai on the ground, Jiang Xia slowly reverted to human form, after the recent battle,

Jiang Xia realized that, although his monster strength is decent, it still cannot match the power of a Kamen Rider.

Boom!!

However, Jiang Xia now understood that the panel's power rating reflects him after donning the strongest armor, not merely judging the strength of his monster form.

After lingering in thought for a while, he came back to himself.

Jiang Xia has always been Jiang Xia; the ferocious face beneath the monster cannot change his essence,

just as a Kamen Rider without his mask is still a Knight.

After taking care of everything, his body, like a drawing erased with clay, vanished into thin air inside the hospital.

Only a stunned nurse remained beside him; of course Jiang Xia didn't use his own face—shape‑shifting is his own ability.
