Kamen Rider: High Beam Rider - Starting with Saber

Chapter 63 The Legend of the Sacred Blade

Lan Su returned to the rooftop and found that the Holy Lord of Truth had already left.

He looked at Linghua and Yaz, both of whom were unharmed, as were Touma and the others.

The Lord of Truth seems to have come only to declare war and open the Book of Destruction, wanting the swordsmen of the North District to witness the destruction of the world in despair.

Lan Su approached Linghua and Yaz, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

"We don't have any problems, it's just..."

Linghua looked at the Book of Destruction in the sky with some worry.

The current situation is quite different from what Lan Su remembers.

"Don't worry, there will be a way." Lan Su patted Linghua's hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry too much.

When everyone returned to the base, Sofia displayed the detected images to them.

"That giant book is everywhere in the world, what is it?" Rintaro asked, leaning on his chair and looking at the projected image with a worried expression.

Lan Su then offered a timely reminder, "This great book seems somewhat similar to the Book of Destruction, don't you think?"

"Yes, the Book of Destruction that Bacht unleashed before was similar."

Fei Yuzhen suddenly realized why the huge book looked familiar.

Linghua took out the Zerg Queen's Fantasy Book, and the projected book was exactly the same as the one summoned by the Holy Lord.

"The Book of Omnipotence also absorbed the power of the Book of Destruction, so it's normal that it can use the power of the Book of Destruction."

Yuri stroked his chin and made a guess.

Just then, giant book projections from all over the world flashed with light, and the figure of the Holy Lord of Truth appeared on the books.

He looked down at people all over the world with a crazed expression, shouting in a mad tone, "Hello, everyone!"

"I am Yzak, the one who will soon rule the world, the god who will lead it to destruction!"

"But I am not without mercy either. Fight on! I will ensure that those who survive continue to live in the new world I create!"

"Then, fight to your heart's content!"

Yitzhak's mad pronouncements spread throughout the world, but...

"Who is this guy? Is he crazy?"

"Exactly, it's probably just a prank by someone."

People around the world did not take Yitzhak's words seriously and continued with their work or travels.

They dismissed the giant book that appeared in the sky as a prank and paid it no mind.

"Idiot." Lan Su couldn't help but sneer at Yizak's idiotic behavior.

Everyone looked at Lan Su in confusion, wondering why he was mocking Yizak's behavior.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Lan Su slowly explained, "In the real world, very few people know about the existence of the Sword of Truth, let alone information about the fantasy world and fantasy books."

"Our top priority now is to stop Yitzhak's madness; as for what he has declared to the world, we don't need to care."

Upon hearing this, Rintaro pointed out the crux of the current problem: "But now the Lord of Truth possesses omniscient and omnipotent power. How should we deal with him?"

"Of course there is a way."

Lan Su looked at Daqin Temple, indicating that he should speak.

Daqin Temple understood and nodded, speaking with some excitement, "When the primordial holy sword forged by our ancestors appears, and the one who ignites its flames appears, connecting the starry sky and binding power! The holy sword that will lead the story to its conclusion will be born!"

"Could it be the Flame Sword Blazing Fire?" Ryo Onoue asked, looking at Daishinji.

Daikoto looked at Hiyomaru with absolute certainty. "Ah, that's right. Hiyomaru awakened the Flame Sword; he is the one who prophesied!"

"But this doesn't seem to solve our current problem, does it?" The simple-minded Rintaro hadn't grasped the key point and looked at Daishinji with a puzzled expression.

"As long as we gather all the holy swords together to fight against the Holy Lord, a miracle will surely happen."

"Of course, this is on the premise that all the holy swords are gathered on our side."

Lan Su looked at Fei Yuzhen and the sage and explained the conditions involved.

"I understand. I'll take care of persuading Lian!" The wise man volunteered for the task, determined to bring Lian back this time no matter what!

Touma caught up with Kento, saying, "I'll go with you!"

Lan Su glanced at it but didn't say anything more.

Linghua also stepped forward and said, "Then I'll go and inform my brother that we'll meet up!"

"Alright, the rest of us, be on alert for Yzak's appearance!"

With the operational strategy determined, everyone began to take action.

"Oh right, the Nameless Sword is still in the hands of the Calamity." Daqin Temple suddenly realized that if eleven holy swords were needed, the Nameless Sword would also have to be retrieved.

"Tsk, I almost forgot about that. I should go too."

Lan Su patted his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten about it.

"Yaz, you stay here and monitor the situation with Sofia. Notify me immediately if there are any problems."

Yaz nodded in agreement, "Yes, Lord Lansu."

…………

A dock construction site.

Tianzai had just finished a bowl of instant noodles and was savoring the taste as he licked the lid of the cup noodles.

He turned to look at Lian and found that she had been sitting there blankly for half an hour.

Casually tossing aside the lid he was holding, the Calamity appeared upside down in front of Lian. "What are you planning to do?"

"I……"

Lian recalled his master's instructions: "Pursue power with all your might! Without power, there can be no justice!"

However, at some point, he began to care deeply about Touma because of Kento.

Touma's repeated growth in strength was not due to the pursuit of so-called power, but rather to breaking through his own limits time and time again in order to protect others.

This made Lian begin to doubt whether she was on the right path, whether she knew what true strength was, and what true justice was.

"lotus……!"

The voice of a sage came from afar, and upon hearing it, Lian was about to appear.

But then he heard Fei Yuzhen's shout, which made him not want to show himself anymore. He didn't really want to face Fei Yuzhen right now.

They keep saying that strength equals justice, but they themselves are the weakest.

Lian pulled Tianzai down and hid behind the dock's partition.

The sage and Lian passed by and, finding Lian not there, went to other places to look for her.

"Why are you hiding?" Tianzai asked, puzzled.

Lian said with some distress, "They must be trying to persuade me to go back and fight alongside them."

"What? You're not planning to fight alongside them?" Tianzai looked at Lian speechlessly, just like he had been before.

"Let me guess, it's because of the Flame Swordsman, right?"

"How do you know that?!" Lian looked at Tianzai in shock.

"Tch, after all, you weren't helpful at all."

"The Holy Sword was stolen, and we could only watch them fight helplessly. In the end, it was thanks to the Flame Swordsman that the Holy Sword was retrieved."

"You care about him a lot, don't you?" Tianzai had already seen through Lian and revealed all his inner thoughts.

"No, that's not true!" Lian turned her back to Tianzai, her face full of guilt.

"This can't go on forever, can it? You're so pathetic," Tianzai mocked Lian, trying to provoke him.

"That's right! That won't do, kid."

Lan Su appeared in front of the two of them without them noticing.

"Ah! When did you appear? You startled me."

Just as the natural disaster was about to depart, it was startled by the sudden appearance of Lan Su.

"It's you!" Lian also recognized Lan Su. The two didn't have much interaction, but they had fought together when they saved the sage.

Ignoring Tianzai and Lian, Lan Su shouted to the departing Kento and Hiyoma, "Oi! Toma, Kento, Lian is here!"

"Hey, don't reveal my location..."

Lian lowered her hand weakly. Xianren and Feiyuzhen heard Lan Su's voice and ran back.
