Because Decade's kicking speed was too fast to react to, Mamiya Rina could only cross her arms to block.
Though not a Rider Kick, Decade's strike still carried considerable power.
Mamiya Rina managed to block it, but she was still forced to retreat step by step.
As for damage, there was truly none. The defense of an adult Tidal Crab was not to be underestimated.
After retreating a few steps, the first exchange of blows concluded.
Still in Clockup state.
"Tch..."
Mamiya Rina let out a disdainful snort, not exiting her super-speed state.
After a moment of stillness, she accelerated again.
Chen Ran wielded Kabuto's Kunai Gun in his right hand, spinning it quietly before lunging forward.
In the place where sight failed, the sound of 'ding ding dang dang' echoed, sparks flying for a moment! Read novels.
"Tsk, such strong defense."
Chen Ran lightly shook his slightly numb right hand.
That was the force transmitted through the Kunai Gun!
"Clockover!"
As the sound of acceleration ending rang out, the two figures simultaneously retreated from the super-speed domain.
Mamiya Rina looked extremely shocked.
Worms were inherently stronger than humans.
Thus...
Even if humans used the Kamen Rider system developed by the Worms, the time they could move within Clockup was far inferior to that of an adult Worm.
And she was no ordinary adult Worm!
She was the one from Wang Wei's poem...
No, she was a cadre-level adult Worm!
Her strength was far beyond that of ordinary adult Worms.
Even her Clockup duration would be much longer.
Yet, even so, Chen Ran could match her.
This was a testament to his extraordinary nature!
Mamiya Rina was astonished that such a terrifyingly powerful and unusual individual had appeared among humans.
Not just the Worms.
Perhaps... when certain humans grew strong enough, they would inevitably become a major threat to them!
If Chen Ran could be eliminated right now, that would be ideal.
After exiting super-speed, they didn't stand far apart in a standoff but collided again. This time, Mamiya Rina exerted even more force.
Her speed increased.
She became a blur of afterimages!
"Form Ride! Kabuto Masked Form!"
Chen Ran seized the opportunity to use Kabuto's transformation card.
He abruptly shifted from a agile Rider form to a heavily armored Masked form.
Punching power 8t!
This was even stronger than his Rider form.
He threw a punch straight out.
However--
"Henshin..."
A mechanical electronic voice blared, and another figure rapidly charged forward.
Chicken and egg!
Two nearly identical fists landed on Mamiya Rina, the unimaginable impact forcing her back repeatedly.
"Tendou?"
Chen Ran was somewhat surprised by Tendou's arrival, but when he considered how Tendou always used Kabuto's Zecter to detect the locations of Worm appearances, he wasn't too surprised.
"It's me."
Tendou nodded quietly upon hearing that.
"You've arrived at a good time!"
Chen Ran said with a smile, as if an idea had struck him.
Without Tendou's arrival, he would have had to spar with Mamiya Rina for a while. But now that the true protagonist of this world had arrived, there was nothing more to say.
He would, for the time being, give Mamiya Rina special treatment!
Tendou: ???
The Kabuto form on Chen Ran slowly receded, returning him to his Decade appearance. Then, from his card holder, he slowly drew out another card...
