Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 474 The Army of Stone Statues

Following the red-haired zombie ruler was a novel experience, to be honest.

Deep within a chilling, eerie tomb, a human and a rabbit silently follow a zombie shrouded in deathly aura. Such a scene, if placed in a horror movie, could easily rake in over a hundred million at the box office.

The tomb was really cold, but it wasn't the damp cold of the ground. Instead, it felt more like a spiritual invasion. The place was filled with the aura of death and negative energy. Walking here, the cold seemed to emanate from within.

They wandered into an extremely narrow crevice. To be honest, if the zombie hadn't been leading the way, Tang Zijun would never have noticed that such a passage was hidden here.

Tang Zijun felt that the path the other person had taken was no different from the path he had taken before, but every time he went forward, he saw something new. Only then did he realize that this tomb had many identical passageways and rooms.

Like a giant underground labyrinth, finding the right path wasn't something you could just wander around aimlessly with a thread. Without this zombie ruler leading the way, even if Tang Zijun had more time, he probably wouldn't have been able to find the way into the core of the tomb. "Why do you humans used to build such complicated tombs after you died? Wouldn't it be better to just find a place to bury someone and put up a tombstone?" Curly-eared boy hopped around and said.

"You don't understand, do you? In ancient times, only kings, nobles and generals had the ability to build tombs. They wanted to stand out from the crowd. Most importantly, they wanted to bring a lot of burial goods with them, so that they could enjoy themselves even after they died," Tang Zijun said casually.

"Ha, their ideas are quite grand, but reality is incredibly harsh. Have they forgotten that the gods have long since fallen? The various underworlds have all fallen apart, so where is there any place for them to enjoy themselves?" Curly-eared chuckled.

"How could mortals know that the gods have fallen? And don't forget, even thousands of years after the gods fell, there were still many supernatural beings who proclaimed themselves gods and swindled people."

Tang Zijun looked at the curly-eared creature and continued, "For humans at that time, whether they were gods or not was completely unimportant. What mattered was that they hoped to enjoy themselves after death, and that was enough."

"Sigh, I just don't understand you humans." Curly-eared man sighed.

"That's normal. Humans are complex by nature, otherwise evil monsters and righteous magical girls wouldn't have been born." Tang Zijun shrugged.

As they talked and walked, they soon arrived at an open space.

Just as Tang Zijun was about to continue forward, he suddenly noticed that the zombie in front of him had stopped.

Tang Zijun frowned slightly and made the golden card in her hand shine brighter. Then, as the darkness was dispelled, several "corpses" were revealed in front of her on the road.

Calling them corpses isn't entirely accurate; they resembled various mechanical constructs, clearly out of place in this environment. "Are they omnics?!"

Curly Ears was a little surprised, and she quickly jumped towards the robots that had fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, Tang Zijun subconsciously prepared to follow, but then his ears twitched and he heard some faint sounds. His expression changed slightly, and he suddenly reminded him.

"Curled Ears, don't go over there!"

Curly Ears was taken aback by what she heard and turned her head slightly. But the moment she turned her head, the stone statue that was originally embedded in the wall behind her suddenly moved and slashed down at her with a knife.

"Be careful!"

clang!!

The sound, like metal clashing, echoed through the silent passageway.

Curly Ears was completely stunned by the deafening sound and stood there at a loss. When she came to her senses and looked up, she was surprised to find that the red-haired zombie was actually blocking her way.

The massive blade that had cleaved down was now deeply embedded in the back of the zombie ruler.

On the other side, Tang Zijun slightly raised her hand, tightly gripping a long spear made of a special material. Looking along the spear, there was also a strange stone statue opposite her.

"Looks like we've changed maps."

Tang Zijun said softly, then suddenly slapped her belt.

"Transform!"

Kamen Rider! Wolf Knight!!

Amidst a burst of rousing music, a flash of silver light appeared, and the spear in the stone statue's hand was instantly thrown out, causing it to stumble back several steps and crash heavily against the wall.

The red-haired zombie took a blow, then roared and pounced on the stone statue. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Curly-Ears hurriedly fled towards Tang Zijun.

"Quickly, Tang Zijun, use that evil power you had before to control these monsters!"

Tang Zijun dodged another stone statue's thrust by sidestepping it, then punched it, sending it flying. Only after doing all this did he speak, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it this time."

"Why, why?!" Curly-eared blinked. "Wasn't it very effective when you were controlling that red-haired zombie?" "You said it yourself, I was controlling a red-haired zombie, the key is a zombie. Look at these guys, they don't look like zombies at all!" Tang Zijun retorted.

Curly-Ears scratched his long ears. "So the power Sir Skeleton gives you only applies to dead corpses, and not to anything inanimate?"

"What else?" Tang Zijun spread his hands. "He's the Skeleton Lord, not the Rat Talisman. Skeletons are definitely related to corpses." While Tang Zijun was speaking, a stone statue suddenly rushed over, its longsword pointing directly at Tang Zijun's head.

But Tang Zijun seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. She slightly turned her head to dodge, then turned around and delivered an elbow strike that landed squarely on the opponent's chest. The powerful force shattered the opponent's chest.

However, this counterattack did not give them any advantage. As the battle began, more and more statues started to walk off the walls. Not only those that were built into the walls, but some of the monsters in the murals also began to fall off.

"We can't keep fighting them, we can't kill them all!" Curly-Ears shouted as he looked at the red-haired zombie that had been knocked to the ground by seven or eight stone statues.

"Yeah, I see that too." Tang Zijun said, shifting and dodging as she looked at the mechanical artifacts lying on the ground. "Now I know why these things are lying here."

She initially thought the other party had died from the impact of entering the timeline, but something felt off. Now, looking at the endless stream of stone statues, Tang Zijun finally understood how those mechanical artifacts had ended up like this.

Curly-Eared stared wide-eyed at the scene, then quickly exclaimed, "It's the wall! Those guys all came out of the murals on the wall! Try breaking down the wall!"

"Your observation skills are not bad, but..." Tang Zijun glanced at the wall and chuckled. "You're still too young. The murals are just a medium. Destroying the wall won't stop them from coming; on the contrary, it will attract more stone monsters."

As she spoke, Tang Zijun patted her belt again.

[Form Domination!]

【gold!】

Tang Zijun raised her hand and inserted the gold card used for illumination into the card slot, letting out a soft "heh".

"Transform!"

[Wolf Rider - Magic King Form!!]

Golden ribbons fluttered in mid-air. Tang Zijun raised her hands high, then pushed them back, causing the weapons in the hands of the attacking stone statues to explode uncontrollably.

A terrifying force erupted, and the stone statues at the forefront were all knocked back by the force of the weapons in their hands, and crashed into the stone statues that rushed up after them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Zijun quickly retreated to Juan Erduo's side, and a dazzling golden ball of light gathered between her hands.

"This, this energy—" Curly-eared man's eyes widened.

"It's familiar, isn't it? This is the magic of the gold element." Tang Zijun's lips curled up slightly.

His expression instantly turned serious beneath the mask, and magical power began to gather frantically in his hands. This wasn't the first time he'd used the power of a magical girl. The good news was that Tang Zijun didn't need to rely on meditation like magical girls; he would automatically gain the magical power of a blue-level magical girl as soon as he transformed.

The bad news is that Tang Zijun only possesses this much magic power. If he wants to use magic, he still needs to go through the same steps as a magical girl, namely, spell-link-release.

If a Kamen Rider had never been exposed to magic before, it would be really difficult to use this ability at first. However, with Qin Nan's help, Tang Zijun is now able to release some magic.

As the ball of light in his hand reached its peak, Tang Zijun released it instantly.

"Pulao: The Golden World!!"
