Chương 21: Dragon's Breath VS Technological Surge!

The atmosphere in the abandoned alleyway was extremely oppressive.

Looking at the deep blue figure in front of him, and the terrifying vortex that had just devoured his most prized magical flames and the demonic dragon, Zhu Haoxuan's mental defenses were on the verge of collapse.

He gasped for breath, his chest heaving. He knew that conventional magical attacks were completely ineffective against the deep blue form before him, which possessed a strange, devouring ability. Continuing to delay would only lead to his death.

"You forced me to do this!"

Zhu Haoxuan gritted his teeth, his eyes, hidden behind his mask, filled with a frenzied bloodshot gaze. Without further hesitation, he decided to unleash the strongest ultimate technique he could currently control, making a final, desperate gamble.

He quickly raised his right hand, removed the Flame Dragon Mage Ring engraved with a dragon head pattern from his index finger, and then aimed it at the sensor area in the center of his waist drive and swiped it down hard.

"drop--!"

The driver sensed the immense magical power contained within the ring and instantly emitted an extremely high-pitched electronic synthesized sound.

[Dragon's Breath!] Immediately afterwards, a highly rhythmic and explosive standby sound effect rang out in the alleyway: [Awesome! Special! Best!] The instant the pure Chinese system sound effect faded, the ground beneath Zhu Haoxuan's feet cracked open. An extremely massive, deep red circular magic circle, over ten meters in diameter, roared out behind him. The magic circle was densely covered with ancient and violent fire runes, radiating suffocatingly high temperatures.

Supported by the immense magical power of the magic circle, Zhu Haoxuan's feet slowly left the ground, and his entire body floated in mid-air.

"The final note is finished!"

"Turn to ashes!"

Zhu Haoxuan roared and suddenly spread his arms wide to the sides.

As he moved, the fire dragon bone carving armor on his chest, which had originally served only as decoration and an energy core, suddenly erupted with a blinding red light. Then, the armor materialized in mid-air, transforming into a gigantic, lifelike, and terrifying dragon head!

The dragon head opened its blood-red maw, its throat seemingly connected to a lava lake deep within the earth's core.

"boom--!"

An extremely thick, intensely hot, and terrifyingly blue-white beam of fire shot directly from the dragon's mouth. Wherever this dragon's breath passed, the brick walls on both sides of the alley were instantly melted into crimson magma, and the asphalt road surface was directly evaporated into black gas.

This devastating flame, carrying all of Zhu Haoxuan's magic and killing intent, surged towards Jiang Che below like a burst dam, burning him without reservation.

Seeing the overwhelming, intensely hot flames sweeping in, Jiang Che, standing on the ground, made no move to dodge.

The dark blue Kamen Rider ZZZ armor appeared extremely deep and cold under the firelight.

"hehe."

Jiang Che looked at Zhu Haoxuan, who was suspended in mid-air, and let out an extremely calm sneer, his voice even carrying a hint of mockery that he had finally waited for, "Finally couldn't hold back and released your trump card, huh."

Faced with the dragon's breath that could instantly vaporize steel, Jiang Che calmly raised his right hand and directly grasped the [Surging Dream Capsule] emitting a deep blue light in the driver slot on his chest.

Then, Jiang Che exerted force with his wrist and twisted the Surging Dream Capsule clockwise.

"Click!"

A crisp mechanical click rang out.

[The abyss surges! Ultimate devouring!] The driver immediately responded. The next second, the energy core on Jiang Che's chest erupted with an extremely dazzling blue light.

Before him, a massive, deep blue vortex composed of high-density water-based energy instantly materialized. This vortex, like a black hole connected to a bottomless abyss, spun wildly.

"Boom!"

The powerful beam of fire released by Zhu Haoxuan slammed into the blue vortex.

However, the cataclysmic explosion that Zhu Haoxuan had envisioned did not occur.

An extremely bizarre scene unfolded.

The dragon's breath, powerful enough to melt everything, vanished without a trace the moment it touched the blue vortex, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. The massive pillar of fire was forcibly pulled and twisted by the terrifying suction of the vortex, ultimately being drawn continuously into its center!

Jiang Che stood behind the vortex, arms outstretched. The blue water ripples on his armor shone brightly, absorbing all the violent fire energy into his body and turning it into backup power for his armor.

In just a few seconds, Zhu Haoxuan's strongest ultimate attack, unleashed with all his magic power, was completely absorbed by Jiang Che. The high temperature in the alleyway instantly dissipated, returning to its icy state.

In mid-air, the materialized dragon head, having exhausted its magic, reverted back to its original form as a breastplate. Zhu Haoxuan, also exhausted, fell from the air to the ground, kneeling on one knee and panting heavily.

He looked up, staring blankly at Jiang Che, who was unharmed, his mind completely blank.

His strongest attack failed to even break through the opponent's defense before being completely absorbed?

Jiang Che ignored Zhu Haoxuan's shock. After absorbing the flame energy, he clenched his right hand in mid-air.

With a flash of light, a heavy weapon with an extremely exaggerated design, combining a sense of technology with a wildness, appeared in his hand.

The weapon was entirely dark blue, with an extremely long barrel and a ring of incredibly sharp metal claws encircling the muzzle. Inside the gun, a vast amount of energy that had just been absorbed and transformed was flowing.

This is Jiang Che's exclusive weapon - [Dream Eater Claw - Gun Mode].

Jiang Che picked up the heavy weapon with one hand and aimed the gun, which resembled the claws of a wild beast, at Zhu Haoxuan, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.

Then, Jiang Che pressed the energy charging switch on the weapon without hesitation.

[Technological advancements!] An extremely cold, mechanical synthesized voice rang out from inside the weapon.

Immediately afterward, water molecules in the surrounding air and the violent energy Jiang Che had just absorbed began to converge frantically towards the muzzle of the gun. The deep blue light compressed and collapsed at the muzzle, forming an extremely dazzling sphere of energy. The surrounding space was visibly distorted by this massive energy surge.

Zhu Haoxuan, kneeling on the ground, instantly felt an extremely strong sense of impending death.

The terrifying power emanating from the gun barrel made every cell in his body tremble violently, causing his body to shake uncontrollably.

He was afraid.

He was genuinely scared!

His ultimate attack not only failed to harm Jiang Che in the slightest, but instead became fuel for the opponent's weapon. This profound sense of powerlessness and fear of death completely shattered all his pride and dignity.
