[MHCISQD] Chapter 354: The Shocker Organization

Apart from the ground, Renault also noticed that there were some black dots in the sky, approaching this place.

"That is... Nomu?"

The night's darkness was quite favorable, and under the moonlight, Renault could vaguely make out the true faces of those figures in the air.

"The League of Villains is here? Wait, how could they have so many people?"

With a surprised expression, Renault observed for a while and then turned to Tsukasa. "What's going on here?"

"I'm not entirely sure. My intuition has always been accurate. I've been feeling uneasy while asleep, something that hasn't happened in the past few days. Sure enough, when I woke up, I found this scene and came to find you."

Tsukasa replied candidly.

Renault nodded and grabbed the clothes nearby, preparing to change. "Give me a minute. We need to go out and see what's happening. We can't allow these mysterious villains to appear in the town."

"I had the same thought."

Quickly changing clothes, Renault left the inn and headed straight for the location of the villains.

At the same time, Yuriko, who had been sleeping beside Mikumo, woke up and quietly went to the balcony.

"Renault went out. That's..."

Yuriko also noticed the situation and realized that there were quite a few unknown villains outside.

However, this time, she didn't act recklessly. Instead, she put on a coat, climbed onto the balcony, and stood on top of the inn's roof.

The villains emerging outside would naturally be dealt with by Renault. At this moment, she needed to defend the inn in the background and prevent any potential trouble.

After all, the people staying in the inn were Renault's schoolmates. Even if Yuriko didn't care, she still needed to think about his well-being.

"I've really helped a lot this time. I even resisted the urge to join this big scene. Once he's back, I should challenge him to a fight."

Under the cover of the night, Yuriko muttered to herself.

On the other side, Renault and Tsukasa used their spatial abilities to directly reach the outskirts of the town.

Glancing back at the town still shrouded in silence, Renault turned to Tsukasa. "Is there a way to avoid catching the town's attention?"

"Indeed, we need to be cautious about this."

Tsukasa nodded after hearing that and then gestured toward the direction of the town.

In the next second, a transparent barrier enveloped the entire town, cutting it off from the outside world.

Tsukasa tapped this transparent barrier, producing a series of *thud* sounds.

"This thing can isolate sound and has some defensive capabilities. Should be fine, right?"

"Sure, sure, your methods are quite diverse."

"I always feel like you're not complimenting me." Tsukasa shook his head and looked at the densely approaching mass of darkness. "They're coming."

Under the cover of night, as the large number of villains approached, Renault also managed to discern the appearance of the villains.

They could be categorized into three types of villains.

In the sky, there were nearly twenty flying Nomu.

On the ground, the largest group consisted of nearly three hundred people, forming what could almost be called an army. All of these individuals were dressed uniformly in black skin-tight suits and black headgear. Some of them had gray skeletal patterns drawn on their black suits. A few even had red skeletal patterns on their clothes.

Each of them wore a belt around their waist with a symbol of a bronze eagle.

Next, the smaller group consisted of five distinct monsters, each with different forms.

There was one with a spider-like appearance, another resembling a bee, yet another shaped like a cactus, one resembling a crab, and the last with a mummy-like appearance. These five stood at the very center of the entire group.

Their origins were now quite obvious.

"Shocker Organization..."

An evil organization that had existed since the inception of Kamen Rider, with the aim of world domination. It seemed to be omnipresent, emerging in every era to cause trouble.

Strangely enough, even though it seemed that the bosses were defeated by generations of Riders, they somehow managed to resurrect after a certain period and continue causing havoc. They were practically indestructible.

Renault turned to Tsukasa beside him and asserted, "These guys are definitely here because of you!"

"Oy, oy, oy! I'm not taking the blame for this!"

Tsukasa vigorously shook his head in denial.

But before he could finish shaking his head, the Shocker Legion on the opposite side came to a halt. The Kaijin at the forefront, with a mummy-like appearance, spoke, "Decade! We meet again! Let's see where you can run this time!"

Renault silently stared at Tsukasa.

"Well, it's pretty obvious they're looking for you."

"I can't really be blamed for this." Tsukasa continued shaking his head, explaining, "While it's partly my fault, once this world has Riders like you, Dai-Shocker is bound to sense it and come after this world. I just happened to be in the vicinity."

"Are you sure? You're not setting me up?"

"Do I gain anything by tricking you?"

"True, but there's no harm for you, either."

"...Are youngsters these days so disrespectful to their seniors?" Tsukasa shook his head, then gave up on the conversation. He took out his belt and put it on, pulling out a card.

"Henshin!"

*KAMENRIDE! DECADE!*

Transformation complete, Decade clapped his hands, unsheathed his sword, and turned to Renault, saying, "Dealing with an organization like Shocker. You're not interested in exchanging banter, right?"

"Of course not. I'm not the protagonist of some hot-blooded anime. We don't need a long monologue before we start fighting the villains."

Looking at the Shocker Legion that had already assumed an attacking stance on the opposite side, Renault smirked, "Let me test Shocker's fighting capabilities."

Both of them dashed forward simultaneously, plunging into the midst of the Shocker fighters in an instant.

These low-level fighters weren't particularly strong, their power was merely four to five times that of an average person. Renault easily knocked them out with a punch each.

But those Combatmen with skeletal patterns, especially the red ones, posed a stronger challenge.

After exchanging blows with a Red Combatman, Tsukasa warned, "Be careful, these guys are Elite Combatmen. There are very few of them, but they're slightly stronger than the Kaijin."

"Don't worry. They're not really a match for me." Renault watched as two bone-clad Combatmen charged toward him. He activated his 'reflection', knocking the Elite Combatmen aside and incapacitating them in an instant.

At the same time, in the sky, the group of Nomu were descending under the command of a few Kaijin.

Evading a charging Nomu with a swift movement, Tsukasa shot it down.

"These must be Nomu. They're quite something."

Facing three attacking Nomu, Renault yelled, "Let's not mess this up. These Nomu have strong regenerative abilities."

"No worries. Do you think I'm just anyone?"

With that, Tsukasa pulled out his K-Touch. He had no intention of wasting time and went straight for the big move.
