Chapter 1045
At the very beginning,
【Garbled text】
Huangfu Rong could still hear the Unicorn Phantom's screams,
but with the sound of this explosion,
those screams vanished.
Clearly, the sound of that explosion was proof of the Unicorn Phantom's death.
Huangfu Rong hadn't expected the Unicorn Phantom to be slain in such a short time.
He was aware of the Unicorn Phantom's terrifying space-swapping ability,
which was why he felt safe letting it fight alongside Jin Dou and others.
What Huangfu Rong didn't know was that,
during the battle,
Jin Dou hadn't participated at all;
it was entirely Gatack and Leangle fighting the Unicorn Phantom.
Gatack and Leangle had already been suppressing the Unicorn Phantom,
and had originally intended to finish it off directly.
But after Xiao Qi joined the battlefield,
because Xiao Qi wanted to learn about Shiyu from the Unicorn Phantom,
that was why the Unicorn Phantom had only died just now.
After the Unicorn Phantom died,
Jin Dou, Gatack, and Leangle also dissipated.
"The points are quite high!"
"Just don't know what rank he is in the House of Games!"
Su Tian's voice pulled Huangfu Rong's thoughts back.
Hearing this, Huangfu Rong knew Su Tian must have been mistaken,
taking him and the Unicorn Phantom for people from the House of Games.
This was normal.
Under normal circumstances,
the core cities of the House of Monsters all belonged to one faction,
and very few others would go to the core cities of other factions.
Like them, coming to the City of Games with Shangguan Yejiang to grant Bai Jiexue the position of 'Zun',
was something even harder to see.
"What a pity..."
"Your family head seems to like hiding!"
"Not like the one I met in the City of Desolation before, um... what was it called..."
The Decade before Huangfu Rong appeared to be in thought,
then suddenly seemed to realize,
"Oh, I remember!"
"Seems to be that Tulip Orphnoch?"
The voice wasn't loud, but to Huangfu Rong's ears, it sounded like a thunderous roar.
Tulip Orphnoch?
Wasn't that the head of the House of Tulips?
"No!"
"You... what did you just say?"
"City of Desolation?"
Suddenly, Huangfu Rong seemed to remember something,
and his voice began to tremble.
The Tulip Orphnoch didn't mean much to Huangfu Rong;
even without obtaining Ghost's Mugen Damashii form,
he, Huangfu Rong, wouldn't fear the Tulip Orphnoch.
However,
the City of Desolation was different!
As a subordinate of Shangguan Yejiang, Huangfu Rong could barely access some secret information of the House of Monsters.
Among this,
was what had happened in the House of Monsters a while ago.
That is to say, Huangfu Rong knew that Zhou Honghang, who was a 'Zun', had died,
and had died at the hands of a Blue Star person who had come to the City of Desolation.
"So... the one who killed Zhou Honghang is this Rider before me?"
Although Huangfu Rong considered himself capable of disregarding the Tulip Orphnoch,
he didn't dare provoke Zhou Honghang, who possessed the power of Kamen Rider Cronus.
For no other reason than time-stop!
Facing time-stop, Huangfu Rong had no solution.
The Unicorn Phantom's space-swapping could be avoided by not letting it mark you,
but Cronus's time-stop
was something he, Huangfu Rong, couldn't avoid.
"But then, why doesn't he use Cronus's power to fight?"
Huangfu Rong looked at Su Tian in confusion,
unable to understand why Su Tian wasn't using Kamen Rider Cronus.
While puzzled, Huangfu Rong also silently switched the Eyecon Sword in his hand to arrow mode.
Now that he knew Su Tian's identity,
Huangfu Rong didn't want to engage in melee combat with Su Tian again.
The dread in his heart had reached its peak.
As for running away...
Huangfu Rong didn't think he could successfully escape.
He only hoped that Shangguan Yejiang would notice the situation here
and come to support him.
In that case, he might at least be able to survive!
In that case, he would at least be able to survive! Yu.
