Chapter 311 Cat x Sabre-toothed Tiger

Chapter 311 Cat x Sabre-toothed Tiger

Sonosaki Ryubei was indeed surprised to see Sudo Kirihiko. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the two of them, then suddenly shook his head in confusion.

"No, not you."

Sudo Kirihiko probably doesn't know what this place means, and the person who was looking at him in the dark should not be the young man brought here by the other party.

But it was obvious that the two people who came here also had some purpose.

Although Sonosaki Ryubei never believed that Sudo Kirihiko could become a real family member, he was still somewhat surprised that he betrayed him so early, and that he betrayed at the same time as Sonosaki Saeko, whom he suspected...

So what happened to these two people before this?
All Sonosaki Ryubei could think of was the new "Kamen Rider" incident that had been circulating in the Fuuto recently.

And he did put pressure on Sonosaki Saeko last time to ask her to investigate the matter.

So is this some kind of collaboration?

Although Sonosaki Ryubei doesn't care much about his daughter now, he is the one who trained Sonosaki Saeko after all. He knows Sonosaki Saeko even better than Sonosaki Wakana, whom he himself has high hopes for.

This daughter, who had been suppressed by him with "fear" since childhood, had never truly surrendered.

Sonosaki Ryubei half admired his daughter's unyielding spirit, and half felt sorry for Sonosaki Saeko's restlessness.

So he also understood that his daughter would never challenge him easily before she was sure.

So……

Sonosaki Ryubei's gaze fell on Kadoya Shi, and that amiable smile appeared on his face again.

If it weren't for the fact that his fingertips were stroking the golden Gaia memory in his hand from time to time, and his eyes were filled with the majesty of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, he would look as kind as an ordinary elder.

Sonosaki Ryubei smiled and said, "Since Saeko brought you here, she must think you have the ability to defeat me. Who are you?"

……

——Zezi?
Sudo Kirihiko, who was already nervous, looked at his father-in-law blankly, not quite understanding what this had to do with Sonosaki Saeko.

Didn’t he bring the person here?
However, after entering the vicinity of the manor, Kazuto Kamen Rider seemed to have found his target, and he arrived here accurately even without his guidance.

Then they noticed the noise made by Mick and heard Sonosaki Ryubei talking to himself.

Therefore, just now, he also heard the word "Well of the Earth" from Sonozaki Ryubei's mouth, which means that the Sonozaki family really is hiding such a huge secret!

—A well for extracting the earth’s energy?
Sudo Kirihiko wanted to know what was going on.

"Father-in-law..."

He quickly took a step forward and wanted to say something.

However, Kazuto Kazuya next to him took a quicker step forward and stood in front of him. He raised his hand and took out a card, and a white belt had been put on around his waist.

Kadoya smiled with his usual arrogance: "He's just a Kamen Rider passing by. Remember this!"

After saying this, he put down his hand gesture and wanted to insert the Decade Knight card.

But at this moment, Sonosaki Ryubei, who was looking at him from the opposite side, suddenly chuckled for no apparent reason, and a dark purple light flashed faintly in his eyes when he looked at him.

Suddenly, Kadoya's heart skipped a beat!
……

……

In the mirror world.

When Kadoya Kadoya took the initiative to appear in front of Sonosaki Ryubei, Kawahara was sure that the guy must have noticed that he was here.

After all, when seeing Sonosaki Ryubei's reaction, Kazuya Kadoya should have known that the other party discovered the mirror world and not himself.

If the field expanded by the "Terror" memory can indeed affect the mirror world, Kawahara is ready to fight.

not to mention……

If he wants to contact the Well of the Earth, even if he doesn't face Sonosaki Ryubei directly now, he will probably do the same later.

The only difference is a little time.

But since Kazuto Kadoya took the initiative to show up and take on this battle, Kawahara naturally would not interfere.

That boy really has a weird personality.

Kawahara laughed and no longer paid attention to the situation outside. He turned around and walked into the secret passage that was opened in the mirror world.

Sonosaki Saeko, who was standing next to them, didn't know what was going on, but when she saw the faint sense of oppression emanating from this man relax, she probably understood that they would not encounter a battle for the time being.

She followed without hesitation.

There was an elevator after turning a corner in the gloomy passage that looked like a fire escape. After Kawahara pressed the elevator button and walked in, Sonosaki Saeko also hurried in.

In fact, there is no need for a guide at this point, but Sonosaki Saeko feels safe this way.

And another reason...

Deep down she longed for this man to destroy her father's position as ruler.

And she wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Although her "Taboo" memory has been destroyed, she has not completely lost hope. She knows that there is another Gaia memory that can be adapted to her.

There was a flash of intense and anxious emotion in Sonosaki Saeko's lowered eyes.

Kawahara glanced at her sideways and without saying anything more, pressed the down button in the elevator which did not have a specific number.

……

Dozens of meters underground below the Sonosaki family home.

This was once an ultra-ancient relic discovered by an archaeological team, but it was eventually determined to be a modern creation and abandoned.

But in fact……

There is a well here that connects to the Earth's core.

click!
The descending elevator door opened, and the passage outside was no longer made of smooth bricks, but instead had concrete walls with potholes and dents like those of an unfinished adobe house.

After discovering the remarkable "Well of the Earth", Sonosaki Ryubei, who was in charge of leading the archaeological team, arbitrarily ended the team's exploration plan and asked his family to help with the excavation.

This underground space is huge and empty.

There are thick wall pillars about ten feet wide on all four sides supporting the top layer of soil, and in the center surrounded by searchlights, there is a circular well that seems to be made of steel bars and iron mud.

Modern people believe that this kind of casting technology should not have existed in ancient times, not to mention that there is no age value shown here.

So this place was ultimately not taken seriously.

After taking a quick look around, Kawahara walked straight to the well with a burning gaze.

However, when he looked down with great expectation, he saw that the well was only one meter deep and the bottom was filled with ordinary cement.

Kawahara: "..."

Sonosaki Saeko also came over and was shocked when she saw the situation: "What's going on? How could this happen?!"

Naturally, she often saw the Well of the Earth.

The well was like an abyss with no bottom in sight, with only a faint green light emerging at the end, which was as fascinating as the light emitted by the soul.

Instead of being able to see the end at a glance like it is now.

But the well cannot be taken away...That's why Sonosaki Ryubei built the Sonosaki residence in this place, in order to guard this well that brings them great power.

Sonosaki Saeko stared at the bottom of the cement well in a daze.

Kawahara was speechless for a moment, then looked thoughtfully at the surface of the searchlight not far away.

"The Well of the Earth is unique..."

Therefore, even the mirror world cannot reflect the exact same Earth Well, it is just a facade. Fortunately, Kawahara has made such preparations.

After he came to his senses, he mentioned Sonosaki Saeko, who was still doubting her life, and threw her towards the smooth mirror of the searchlight before she could react.

wow——

Ripples appeared on the mirror surface, and Sonosaki Saeko was caught off guard and flew out of the whirlpool, falling to the ground in pain.

Kawahara followed closely behind.

The next moment, he suddenly dodged backwards, and at the same time, an extremely fast shadow passed by in front of him.

"Ouch!"

It was a blue-gray British shorthair cat.

Having failed to hit its target, it fell on the edge of the Well of the Earth, its back arched and its fur standing on end, it whimpered softly, and stared at the Kawahara opposite it as if it were facing a formidable enemy.

What was a bit strange was that there was a Gaia drive tied to the cat's back, and a golden memory that had been inserted was slowly merging into it with flashing electric light.

The digitized light enveloped the cat's body, slowly stretching it and elevating it into the shape of a tiger monster with orange-yellow hair.

——"Smilodon"!
The Gaia memory adapted to this cat is that of an extinct prehistoric giant beast - the saber-toothed tiger!

Cats and tigers are indeed a good match.

Mick, who was gradually dominated by the saber-toothed tiger's savagery, straightened his body, hunched over and stared at Kawahara, then quickly glanced at Sonosaki Saeko who had fallen not far away.

Stared at by the ferocious beast, Sonosaki Saeko quickly got up and stepped back, looking at it in fear: "M...Mick..."

Although Mick is a pet in their home, as the executioner of the [Museum], this cat only obeys the orders of Sonosaki Ryubei after its transformation.

A cat's little brain can't think about complicated things, let alone after it is affected by the "Gaia Memory".

So even if it was someone else from the Sonosaki family...

They may also become targets of execution.

And Mick is strong!
Mick is perfectly matched with the saber-toothed tiger. Even if Sonosaki Saeko uses the "forbidden admixture", she may not be sure that she can beat her own cat!

She looked at Kawahara on the other side for help.

The three of them were facing each other in a triangle around the Well of Earth in the middle, and after looking back and forth at the two targets, Mick finally jumped up and pounced on Kawahara first!
It was extremely fast. Almost as soon as it moved, Kawahara felt a huge black shadow pressing down in front of him.

"Oh!"

Kawahara's appearance also changed in an instant, and his body was covered by the purple Titan Kuuga, and he stood still in the place despite being hit by the huge impact force.

But after blocking Mick's claw, he quickly retreated, stomped his raised foot on the ground heavily, shook up a stone and grabbed it in his hand. When the sublime Blue Dragon stick extended from his hand, he had also transformed into the blue form of Blue Dragon Kuuga.

After Mick missed his first attack, he continued to pounce, the Qinglong stick was waving in Kawahara's hand, and he flashed forward instead of retreating!

At the moment the two sides met, Kawahara suddenly lowered his body to the side, and the Qinglong stick swept across and hit the saber-toothed tiger's defenseless chest and abdomen heavily.

"Oh!"

The energy of the blow spread out from its hair, and the saber-toothed tiger paused in its forward movement, standing still without retreating.

Then it turned its head to look at Kawahara who was standing nearby, and stared into those blue compound eyes in silence.

Kawahara also looked at it: "..."

Qinglong's power is really weak.

Mick soon bared his teeth and swung a claw at him. Kawahara immediately turned his head to avoid it and used the Qinglong stick to push Mick on his chest and abdomen, knocking him back.

Mick, who did not feel the danger instinctively, attacked him relentlessly. Even in a close-range fight, the saber-toothed tiger's charging posture was still so fast that only an afterimage was left.

The golden metal at the end of the Qinglong stick flashed with electric light. Kawahara turned around and jumped, then another stick fell heavily on Mick's shoulder!

Mick, who pounced towards him, seemed to have hit the Qinglong stick on his own initiative. Its claws flew into the air from Kawahara's side, and the huge force suddenly hit Mick.

"boom!"

Mick in mid-air suddenly fell to the ground on all fours. A strong air wave stirred up a circle of dust, and spider-web-like cracks spread all around.

Mick let out a meowing roar and struggled to break free from the Qinglong stick that was pressing on his shoulder. The saber-toothed tiger's figure instantly rushed away like a flash of lightning.

Kawahara did not chase after it, but just retracted the Qinglong Stick and stood there staring at it.

Sonosaki Saeko gradually calmed down during the brief battle between the two sides. She quickly moved away from the center of the battlefield, hiding behind a concrete wall and looking over there.

Looking at the figure who forced back the saber-toothed tiger with two strikes, her expression became complicated, and something seemed to be flowing in her eyes.

At this moment, Mick felt threatened again.

It carefully observed the target opposite, bent its waist and took a few tentative steps, then suddenly jumped into the air again!
rustling-

The saber-toothed tiger moved at super high speed like a flash of lightning. Its movements could not be captured by the naked eye. However, the sharp murderous intent like a hunted beast lingered in all directions, as if every side would be stabbed.

Kawahara stood there calmly, but his blue figure turned green at some point.

He raised the Sublimated Pegasus Crossbow in his hand, stretched his arm directly to his side, and the golden crossbow arrow at the tip popped out with a flash of lightning.

Chi-

The next moment, Mick appeared beside him with his hair standing on end. The instinct of crisis made him brake suddenly, otherwise his forehead would have hit the sharp tip of the arrow.

Mick, who was almost killed, did not stop moving. He tilted his body and slid to the side smoothly.

Kawahara turned the Pegasus crossbow in his hand, and when the saber-toothed tiger disappeared again, he raised it and pulled the trigger at the black shadow that flashed through the air.

The golden electric light reached its peak in an instant, shooting down a large orange cat, and a golden seal symbol flashed on its arm.

"Roar……"

Mick fell to the ground from the air and let out a painful roar, as if something was torturing him inside. His limbs instinctively flapped and struggled wildly.

But at the moment when the seal symbol flashed completely, the chaotic energy completely burst out from its body, exploding from the inside out!

"Boom!"

Amid the flames of the explosion, a golden memory and drive fell down and turned directly into particle fragments.

The blue-gray cat meowed and ran out of the flames, quickly running to the corner.

Kawahara, who ended the battle with a sudden blow, casually glanced at the hiding cat, then looked up at the soil above his head. His green compound eyes seemed to see through the layers of rocks and see what was happening in the manor.

Kamen Rider Decade and Sonosaki Ryubei are fighting.

Although it was expected that they would fight.

But Kazuto Kadoya seemed to be out of control.
