Chapter 59: with translation of chapter title

On an embankment full of cherry blossoms, a breeze carrying a hint of coolness swept across it, and after passing through the embankment, it gained an additional hint of chill.

Jiang Xia was blown into a shiver, suddenly came to his senses, and gave a wry smile as he muttered to himself:

"I'm back; the duration of the time gate's maintenance is indeed determined according to my original intention before crossing over."

"Once I complete the mission of killing the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire, the time gate's duration will just end…… I also don't know, if I were to cross the time gate with a different wish, how long it could last at its limit."

……

"Hah."

After a few minutes of calming down, Jiang Xia looked at the clothes on his body and discovered that he was actually wearing the black short-sleeve shirt and ankle-exposing pants he had changed into before, but now they appeared clean as new.

Being able to bring things back and also send things to the past, it seemed that the Ixa in Ma Sheng You Li's hand could protect her well, and Jiang Xia unconsciously had this thought.

Inside an empty warehouse, Jiang Xia's body gradually began to change, his body elongated, he beastified at a speed visible to the naked eye, his whole body covered in scales, his wings pierced through his back, and a pitch-black bat wing unfolded behind him.

"I can only try to forcefully release it." Jiang Xia waved his hand, and the power of the Tooth Blood Vampire flowed through his body.

"What's wrong?"

A tail like a python grew from his back, that long sleeve-like tail continually slapped the ground, making one involuntarily think of the suffocating sensation of a python coiling around.

On Kiva's armor, the sound of chains breaking began to ring out continuously,

No, he inherited the power of the Tooth Blood Vampire passed down through generations; Rook is merely a codename. This power automatically selects a qualified Tooth Blood Vampire, and after the previous generation dies or loses power, it seeks the next one.

The difference in their demeanor was too great; even kival, who had always followed him, couldn't recover for a moment—the twisted monster just now and the person now smiling broadly were the same individual.

"I bite!"

His pure golden eyes gazed at the crimson Kiva armor, and all the golden bats seemed to have found a target.

Instantly, he turned into a golden shadow, quickly circling Jiang Xia several times, then eagerly rushed toward Kiva.

Finally, no more golden bats were born on the surface, and with a series of slapping sounds, they came from above.

He fought here, unleashing his power freely; this place had become his personal battlefield, where he etched patterns of the void into the swaying sky above.

More and more golden bats spewed from Jiang Xia's body, and eventually the dilapidated warehouse was filled with golden color all over the sky.

He delighted in feeling the sea-like power within him; with each breath, it seemed he could directly destroy everything here, and merely by sensation, he could draw away countless lives from afar.

At that moment, a gentle voice echoed in kival's mind; he struggled to open his eyes, as if the beautiful monster were an illusion.

Come on, come on; each time he used his power, the feeling of being sealed weakened a bit, as the immense life energy within Jiang Xia continuously poured in.

A lion-like head, but with antlers like those of an elk branching on both sides; his body was wrapped in pitch-black chains forming the pattern of a chariot chess piece, and on his shoulders was an exquisite relief.

At a glance, it looked like a golden sea.

Tai Ya was like this, Shen Yang was like this, and now it was Jiang Xia's turn to inherit the chariot's position.

That pitch-black seal formed there; with each additional mark, a thunderous boom sounded.

Therefore, leaving it in the past cannot help the Supreme Blue Sky Society of the past develop the Ixa; moreover, aside from Ma Sheng You Li, no one else has the permission to transform, and this could be considered Jiang Xia's selfish motive.

Although his thoughts were still somewhat chaotic, Jiang Xia unconsciously wanted to use the power of the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire, after all, this was the first executive he had devoured.

At the same time, the crimson Kiva armor was gradually devoured by the endless gold light; the gold light kept shining, and eventually turned into a sky-full of dancing golden bats, continuously fluttering in the air.

The familiar bat's eyes lit up, its pale yellow eyes slowly opening.

"Bang!" With a crisp thud, Kiva's armor's left shoulder opened without resistance; Jiang Xia's arm trembled slightly, a powerful force instantly transmitted from his left shoulder to his left hand, and he punched the thick wall.

A low, threatening voice issued from Jiang Xia's mouth, and even the air felt as if it were slightly trembling.

This is the combat method passed down with Rook's power; he inherited everything from Rook—strength, bloodline, even the mark on his right hand—but he is not the true Rook.

Kival strained to sink his teeth into Jiang Xia's right hand, and the originally fair right hand now bore a dark, complex tattoo—the mark of inheriting the chariot's power.

A crimson belt appeared out of thin air around Jiang Xia's waist.

Instantly, only a cracking sound was heard.

At a certain moment, the bats had all vanished, and a dazzling gold hue suddenly appeared out of thin air; the light it emitted illuminated the entire area.

That Ixa was copied by Jiang Xia from the panel; only Jiang Xia and those he approves can use it, and it does not belong to technological development, nor can it be analyzed.

"It feels as if my whole body is locked." Jiang Xia slowly clasped his hands, feeling his current strength.

As Kiva devoured more and more bats, the crimson wings locked on his right foot also swung open.

Kiva's appearance also underwent a great change.

Looking at his left shoulder already opened, Jiang Xia gave a light smile, and his fist slammed hard into the wall before him once more; instantly another black void appeared before him.

His appearance was so ferocious and twisted, yet it possessed a beauty beyond the ordinary, blending holiness and evil, like a master displaying an artwork on a twisted monster.

Rook, the newly born Rook.

"I roughly understand; let's transform."

Executive Tooth Blood Vampires and ordinary Tooth Blood Vampires are fundamentally species from two different worlds.

"I'm not sure; I just feel my body swollen and a bit uncomfortable, and after you transformed, the power inside me seemed to become somewhat uncontrollable, making me feel very fatigued." Kival's eyes were tightly shut, as if he might faint at any moment.

A mountain-sized black seal appeared in the sky above Jiang Xia, with red electricity constantly flowing above, like heavenly punishment, fiercely striking the ground.

……

Those strands of gold light continuously spread from where the left shoulder opened, continually striking other parts of the armor, and finally the seal on the right shoulder was also released.

"Jiang Xia, I feel something's wrong with my body." Kival flapped his wings, exhausted, and landed on the shoulder of the monstrous Jiang Xia.

Among the four current executives of the Tooth Blood Vampires, only the Bishop is of the second generation; the others have already been passed down to the third generation.

Countless tiny cracks spread directly from the impact; after an instant, the cracks suddenly expanded, and the huge wall, with a boom, directly collapsed into a huge void.

Every corner of this uninhabited place naturally outlines itself in the mind; without any training, one can perfectly master the power of this body.

The originally pale yellow faceplate had turned crimson, the whole body was wrapped in splendid and dazzling golden armor, and a blood-colored cape fluttered faintly behind him.

Mo Huang Kiva, enter.
