Chapter 297: with translation of chapter title

Wait, what are you trying to do!

Seeing Jiang Xia approach, holding the Shining Bite Dragon, Kara began to retreat step by step.

No one understands the power of the Dinosaur Core Coin better than him; these forbidden coins were created by gathering the nation's strength and the power of all alchemists.

Having the power to reduce everything to nothing.

The Dinosaur Union's jade-green eyes turned purple in an instant, a special undulation like ripples in the depths of the eyes; Jiang Xia's eyes have the special ability to see through Core Coins and stored consciousness.

Jiang Xia stared at Kara, stepping closer step by step.

"Even you cannot stop my steps toward becoming the true Oz, one who possesses forbidden power." Kara said with a solemn face.

At the moment Jiang Xia's gaze fell upon him, the Core Coins within Kara's body began to tremble.

Kara was originally human, but he successfully altered his body through his superb Alchemical Art.

He successfully transformed into a Greed-like creature, and based on it gave birth to a special Core Coin of the reptilian lineage.

This special Core Coin, composed of eye-snake, turtle, and crocodile, had lost many of its parts before Kara was sealed.

"Every child should be treasured; that child's gaze just now made me feel a little sad."

Jiang Xia, looking at Kara's human face, said:

"When I dislike or am dissatisfied with something, I use the power I possess to change it."

"Who are you exactly? Why can't my Alchemical Art retrieve your information?!"

Kara had already regarded Jiang Xia as an enemy when he saved that child; although that forbidden power is indeed terrifying, it also depends on the user—if it were the original king using it, he might run as far as he could, but Kara knows that the king, having run amok with desire, is now sealed.

So he merely wanted Jiang Xia to lower his guard, but just now, when he used Alchemical Art to analyze Jiang Xia's data, he got only four characters: 'Unidentifiable'.

This is an extremely rare phenomenon in his Alchemical Art career.

"I'm just a passing Kamen Rider." Jiang Xia's masked face curled into a slight arc. "Remember me."

Truly a death-inducing question!

No matter which enemy asks such a question, they might get beaten so badly even their own mother wouldn't recognize them; if asked in front of Men Yashi, even his BGM would automatically start playing.

"Kamen Rider? What an unfamiliar term."

After a brief silence, Kara spoke; the human face was covered by Cell Core Coins, replaced with a horrifying, ferocious face.

He simply doesn't understand what the term 'Kamen Rider' means; isn't he Oz right in front of him?

Could Kamen Rider be the reason his Alchemical Art can't analyze him?

"I'll take all the Core Coins inside your body."

After repeatedly receiving indecipherable answers, Kara had already lost his patience,

He let out an earth-shaking roar, his two arms rapidly elongating and plunging into the ground.

The elongated arms took the place of his legs, like stilts, and lunged at Jiang Xia.

He is an alchemist who possesses the Lost Core Coin, and was once human as well.

Now he has skillfully combined Alchemical Art with Greed's abilities, and after failing to obtain information, he quickly regained his composure.

"It's truly full of loopholes."

Jiang Xia's purple wings on his back suddenly unfurled, the violent gale blowing the distant leaves into a rustling sound.

He flapped his wings, his whole body shooting upward at incredible speed; an unusually thick purple tail extended sharply behind him, and the Triceratops covering his shoulders lit up instantly.

In that instant, all the traits of the Dinosaur Union appeared on Jiang Xia's body.

A purple halo suddenly blazed on his body, and a deafening dragon roar instantly filled the entire forest.

Pure white frost continually spread from it, the extreme cold completely enveloping this forest,

Ultra-low temperatures covered Kara's body; the claws on his long arms froze straight into ice sculptures, immobilizing him on the ground.

With a 'swish,' two yellow spikes shot out, carrying a piercing wind-breaking sound, blasting toward the immobile Kara.

The Triceratops' horn fiercely pierced Kara's body; Jiang Xia, gripping the Holy Emblem Bite Dragon, flapped his wings and charged straight at the frozen him.

Kara's heart filled with terror; his whole body's strength gathered together, trying to break free from the horn and the ice's bonds.

He knew full well that his defense could not withstand the Holy Emblem Bite Dragon's attack; once his inner consciousness Core Coin was destroyed by the Dinosaur Core Coin, even as the creator of the Core Coin he could only meet a vanishing fate.

He vastly underestimated the extent to which the Dinosaur Core Coin manifested in Jiang Xia's hands, repeatedly using his claws to try to break free from that powerful force's bonds.

But he couldn't; Jiang Xia's power is a stacking of his own abilities, already exceeding the Oz system's scope.

"Found it, the optimal cutting point."

In Jiang Xia's sight appeared the figure of Wakaba Mayu,

Countless Cell Core Coins wrapped her inside Kara's body; she reached out her hand, continually struggling within the vortex of desire.

Jiang Xia gripped the Holy Emblem Bite Dragon tightly and fiercely chopped at Kara's chest; the deep-purple dragon axe cleaved into his body, at which moment a brown, transparent scale armor sprang from Kara's chest, blocking the Holy Emblem Bite Dragon's attack.

But as Jiang Xia continued to exert force, the turtle-shell layer covering Kara's body burst out with a sharp, piercing roar; the breaking sounds rose and fell, and in an instant, spiderweb-like cracks filled every corner of that defense.

Boom! Kara let out a painful scream; that crystal-like forged axe had already sunk deep into his body.

The power that reduces all desire to nothing completely tore open a large gash in his skin, like that of a crocodile.

This is the formidable aspect of the Dinosaur Core Coin: it ignores defense, guarantees a critical hit, and comes with an inherent lock-on.

"This power that reduces all desire to nothing simply shouldn't exist in this world!"

Kara felt the abnormality in his body and roared loudly at Jiang Xia.

He now deeply regrets ever creating such a Core Coin; purple fissures split his body from the center and continue to spread throughout.

Purple-black Electric Arcs continually annihilate his internal Cell Core Coins; given the power of the Cell Core Coins, they collapse instantly before the Dinosaur Core Coin's might.

This is the first time he has truly faced off against the Dinosaur Core Coin; his Alchemical Art cannot resist such power at all.

Even if the final result of his battle with the king back then was merely being sealed, now he actually has the illusion that he is about to be annihilated; he feels as if he is hovering before his own Oz, not like a person.

It's like facing a black hole that could completely devour him, as if wanting to crush his body to dust.

With the sharp sparking sound bursting from Kara's body, the opening that was continually losing Cell Core Coins revealed a figure clad in a white coat.

And Ruoye Wuyue, who was inside Kara's body, slightly lifted her eyes; the bright light shining outward illuminated her face faintly, and she also saw the hand reaching out toward her.

Ruoye Wuyue watched as the distance kept closing, the hand reaching out to her getting closer and closer; a surge of hope spontaneously rose in her heart, and she exerted all her strength, reaching toward the light revealed outside.

Although she didn't know who the winged person reaching out to help her was, she could feel that this person had come to help her, even if they looked a little strange.

Jiang Xia's eyes flashed with purple light, locking onto Ruoye Wuyue's body, and at the moment she appeared, he suddenly grabbed her.

The air rushed past them, and with a boom, Jiang Xia grabbed Ruoye Wuyue's hand, pulled hard, and Ruoye Wuyue's body was yanked out of Kara's body.

Jiang Xia embraced Ruoye Wuyue's body and rapidly retreated backward.

Ruoye Wuyue saw herself several meters up in the air, clinging tightly to Jiang Xia, and kept letting out screams.

Human fear of heights is etched into their genes; any creature that cannot fly will fantasize about the sky, yet will also be shaken by the fear etched into their genes.

Just as Jiang Xia rescued Ruoye Wuyue, the ice sealing Kara's body, which had been bound, suddenly exploded.

Claws broke through the restraints and swiftly lunged at Ruoye Wuyue in Jiang Xia's embrace.

However, this move was too obvious; Jiang Xia merely tilted his body slightly to dodge the fierce attack, and the extended claws, unwilling to let go, fiercely stabbed into the ground.

Kara's target was not just Jiang Xia; see, the hole that Kara had pierced in the ground with her claws suddenly burst with bright light, flowing arcs instantly covering the entire ground, and a golden alchemical matrix rose from the ground out of nowhere.

Indeed, as an alchemist who has cultivated the Core Coin, Kara's alchemical art is top-notch; she knows how to use her strengths to compensate for her weakness regarding the Dinosaur Coin.

With a blast, Cell Coins were quickly constructed; a yellow shadow emerged from the alchemical matrix and, with extreme speed, rushed toward Jiang Xia in the sky.

But no matter how fast that yellow shadow's speed, it could not escape Jiang Xia's eyes.

That was something very like a cat-type yummy made by Kazhali.

It shrank its body, its skin surface covered with various black stripes, and a crocodile skull replaced its right hand on its right arm.

Nue yummy, a hybrid yummy created through alchemy without a host.

Of course, for Jiang Xia, this kind of speed is only average; even if he currently has a burden, it doesn't affect his fighting.

Under the Nue yummy's fierce attack, Jiang Xia's purple tail behind him whipped hard at it.

With a boom, the tail imbued with Tyrannosaurus power and containing fierce strength lashed fiercely at its body.

Hearing the explosive sound in the air, the Nue yummy had almost no resistance and was directly pulled apart into a sky full of Cell Coins.

Like the sound of glass shattering, it kept ringing on the ground,

Kara finally completely broke free of the icy bonds, and the shattered ice fragments formed dense silver hail in the air.

At that moment, in the center of the forest that had been displaced together far away, countless Cell Coins, like living things, continuously climbed upward, finally forming a huge white tower carved with intricate patterns, like a nail piercing the skyline, standing on the ground; suddenly Kara's hand held a pure transparent crystal ball, which, under the guidance of alchemical art, violently burst forth an electric arc.

Rolling thunder rumbled across the sky, and purple electric light emitted from the crystal ball in his hand, launching indiscriminate attacks on the surroundings.

Meanwhile, the tip of the white giant tower simultaneously burst forth a flash of electricity, beginning to bombard the surroundings of the battlefield.

Jiang Xia raised his right hand, and an intangible protective shield sprang from his body, covering Ruoye Wuyue,

Under the blinding light, the purple electric lightning fiercely struck the shield, but though it was very weak and transparent, it seemed like an invulnerable ward, blocking all the attacks.

The white light faded, and in the ruined forest, flames flickered faintly.

Kara's trace had vanished completely, and around that layer of white giant tower there was still a shimmering green protective shield.

Jiang Xia set Ruoye Wuyue down; her body tensed and kept trembling, her face deathly pale.

The lining of her clothes was soaked through, cold sweat streamed down her face, making her look disheveled.

But she had not suffered any injury at all; this appearance was entirely from being frightened.

"Your son is waiting for you outside; he should be eating the lunch you made for him now."

Jiang Xia gently placed the startled Ruoye Wuyue down.

"Shun!"

Hearing Jiang Xia's words, Ruoye Wuyue froze for a moment, then exclaimed.

"Mm, I'm fine now; I promised to rescue you before he finishes his meal."

Jiang Xia adjusted the Ozu Belt and released his transformation.

"He is now sitting in the park where you two split up, waiting for you."

Ruoye Yeyue bowed ninety degrees to Jiang Xia; as a mother, her child is her life's entrustment, and she also cannot imagine what Shun would do if she truly lost her.

"Go on, I also have my own child, so I truly understand your feelings." Jiang Xia did not refuse Ruoye Wuyue's thanks.

"Thank you."

As she was leaving, she was still expressing gratitude to Jiang Xia, then quickly ran forward.

A mother facing her child always unexpectedly becomes strong; although she had just been in extreme terror, now Ruoye Wuyue's heart had not a trace of fear, only anticipation of meeting her child soon.

"Huo Ye Yingsi, the sorcerer named Kara, I have already found detailed information about her."

Anku had one foot suspended in the air, leaning against a tree trunk, and kept flipping through the tablet in his hand.

But after he spoke, he realized he had gotten no response at all; Anku slightly dissatisfied turned his head, only to see Huo Ye Yingsi sitting beside that child, comforting him.

The boy was eating his lunch, but tears involuntarily streamed down his eyes,

Even so, he continued to stuff his mouth with food.

His head felt like paste, uncomfortable.
