Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

If there's anything to clean up later, let that guy Mitsuo Yamaki handle it; he's in charge of dealing with these things anyway.

Bai Yu aimed at the Ice Demon Beast and hurled the traffic light pole in his hand like a javelin!

"Whoosh-!"

The traffic light pole traced a straight path through the air, shooting towards the ice monster with a piercing whistling sound as it tore through the air!

The ice monster, which was desperately trying to escape, heard the sound of something cutting through the air behind it and subconsciously turned around to look.

"Pfft!"

A dull thud as a sharp weapon pierced flesh.

The traffic light pole pierced right through the Ice Demon Beast's left shoulder, and the enormous impact sent its body plummeting straight down!

"Aaaaaah—!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the night sky.

Bai Yu stared at the direction where the Ice Demon Beast had fallen, and without pausing, he pushed off with his feet and ran towards the crash site at top speed.

When Bai Yu arrived, he saw the Ice Demon Beast gritting its teeth and forcefully pulling out the traffic light pole that was piercing through its shoulder.

The ice monster let out a painful groan, then struggled to get up from the smashed car.

"Still trying to run? Do you think you can escape in your condition?"

The sound was like a death knell from hell, causing the ice demon beast to freeze instantly.

Just as Bai Yu was about to step forward and completely freeze the demon beast, a sudden change occurred!

Perhaps the Ice Demon Beast truly was not meant to die.

A thick white fog appeared without warning and spread rapidly!

Bai Yu immediately recognized this as 'Digital Domain'.

The next second, in the open space between Bai Yu and the Ice Demon Beast, a blurry figure rapidly solidified and materialized amidst the distorted data!

Chapter 30: The Disruptive Alien Dragon

Looking at the materialized Digimon, Bai Yu's face turned extremely ugly, and he cursed inwardly, "What a coincidence!"

"Why did it have to appear at this exact moment, right between me and the Ice Demon Beast?"

The Digimon that had just materialized shook its enormous head, and its ferocious gaze immediately fell upon Shiraha standing directly in front of it.

"Roar--!"

A roar filled with primal savagery erupted from the Digimon's massive jaws, filled with sharp teeth, the sound waves rolling in.

It was a dinosaur-type Digimon with strong, powerful hind limbs, blue skin, and a few strands of red feathers on its head, like those of an Indian chief, adding a unique touch to its ferocious face.

At the same time, the system notification sounded in Bai Yu's mind right on time.

Allosaurus: Armored Body, Dinosaur Type, Free Type; Strength Rating: C-Rank.

Bai Yu was becoming increasingly displeased.

He doesn't have time to waste with this guy who suddenly appears out of nowhere.

But Alldramon doesn't care what Shiraha is thinking.

In its eyes, Bai Yu was its enemy!

Alldramon roared again, its thick and powerful tail sweeping towards White Feather like a steel whip!

Faced with this powerful blow, Bai Yu did not choose to dodge, but instead raised his left arm and forcefully blocked the tail whip!

"boom--!"

A dull thud resounded.

The immense force caused Bai Yu to slide half a meter to the left, but he was not injured.

"You rascal, don't mess things up!"

Bai Yu cursed angrily, stomped his foot hard, and the ground instantly cracked open. He charged towards Alldramon like a cannonball!

Before it could react, Bai Yu had already rushed in front of it.

A powerful uppercut landed squarely on Alldramon's massive jaw!

"Oh!"

Alldramon's enormous body was forcefully knocked off the ground before crashing heavily to the ground.

After knocking down the troublesome Alldramon with a single punch, Bai Yu didn't even glance at it again, immediately turning his head to refocus his gaze on IceDevilmon.

In that brief moment of delay, the guy had already climbed up from the smashed car, trying to take the opportunity to leave.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu was about to set off to give chase.

However, Alldramon, which had been knocked to the ground, suddenly opened its gaping maw and aimed it at Shiraha.

"Dinoblast!"

An incredibly hot wave of heat instantly erupted from Alldramon's mouth, sweeping towards Shiraha!

Facing the scorching storm that was rushing towards him, Bai Yu leaped away to avoid it.

The scorching heatwave baked a car behind Bai Yu until it glowed red-hot, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.

Seeing the hostile creature in front of him, Bai Yu knew that if he didn't deal with this troublemaker who didn't know the time to act first, he would never be able to pursue the Ice Demon Beast with peace of mind.

"Roar!"

When its special attack missed, Alldramon became even more enraged.

It stood up, strutted on its thick hind legs, and charged fiercely towards Bai Yu.

That gaping maw, filled with fangs, seemed poised to swallow Bai Yu whole.

"act recklessly."

Bai Yu snorted coldly. Facing the attack of Allosaurus, he struck first despite being behind, and his fist landed with perfect accuracy on Allosaurus's left eye!

"Ow—!"

A piercing, agonizing roar erupted from Alldramon's mouth.

The intense pain from its eyeballs caused its massive body to convulse violently.

Bai Yu's offensive showed no signs of abating.

He pressed close, his iron fists raining down on Alldramon's body like a storm.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull, dense pounding sounds, like the incessant beating of drums, filled the air.

With each punch, Alldramon howled in agony, its massive body forced to retreat repeatedly.

Finally, Bai Yu executed a swift spinning roundhouse kick, delivering a powerful blow to Alldramon's chest.

"Boom—!"

Alldramon's enormous body was sent flying backward uncontrollably, as if it had been hit by a speeding train.

It crashed violently into the wall of a roadside shop, burying half of its body amidst a flurry of flying bricks and dust.

Before the dust had even settled, Bai Yu's figure had already leaped high into the air.

The silver armor on his right leg instantly unfurled wings of light composed of golden data streams.

As the wings of light flapped, an incredibly complex and profound totem, representing the laws of evolution in the digital world, appeared in the night sky.

[Evolutionary Judgment Kick]!

The trajectory of that foot created a visible forced evolution process in the air!

Alldramon, who had just struggled to get halfway up from the ruins, was kicked by this foot.

There was no pain as I had expected.

"roar?!"

Alldramon let out a low growl of surprise and uncertainty.

But in the next second, its body began to glow, and its size changed rapidly at an abnormal speed.

It was forcibly regressed from its armored form back to the growth form of the Hawkmon.

But this is not the end, but the beginning!

Peromon, Purumon...

In a very short moment, it underwent a reverse degeneration from armored body to juvenile stage.

Immediately afterwards, that force of forced evolution began to pull it into rapid evolution again!

Peromon, Hawkmon, Skyhawkmon, Garudamon, Phoenixmon!

This is a kind of crazy evolution compressed to the extreme!

During this back-and-forth movement, the data within Allosaurus became extremely unstable.

The moment Alldramon's body was forcibly pushed toward its Ultimate form, the data within it finally went completely out of control.

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar.

Alldramon's body exploded in a dazzling light, turning into countless data fragments flying everywhere.

Bai Yu's figure landed steadily on the ground.

With a flick of his wrist, a blank watch face appeared in his hand.

The countless fragments of data transformed into a torrent, all surging into the dial.

"Allosaurus!"

Accompanied by system sound effects, a new knight item is born.

With the death of Alldramon, the thick white fog that had enveloped the area began to dissipate rapidly.

Bai Yu didn't even glance at the new watch face in his hand, immediately turning his gaze to the spot where the Ice Demon Beast had been.

However, only a car that had been smashed to pieces remained.

The figure of the Ice Demon Beast had already vanished without a trace.

Bai Yu immediately looked around, his sharp gaze sweeping over every corner, but still found nothing.

"Damn it, it still got away!" Bai Yu cursed under his breath, his tone filled with resentment and frustration.

Chapter 31: Damn it! Who was that guy?

Filled with resentment and frustration, Bai Yu returned to that icy basement.

Bai Yu silently deactivated his transformation. His silver armor dissipated into specks of light, revealing a handsome face now marred by a swollen and pale expression.

"Brother Baiyu!"

Qi Ren ran over as if he had grasped a lifeline, his voice hoarse and filled with barely suppressed sobs.

He pointed to the figures lying side by side on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Everyone...everyone was saved, six...but what about them..."

Qi Ren couldn't continue speaking. He reached out his hand, trembling, wanting to touch the child closest to him, but before his fingertips could touch the other's skin, he was terrified by the inhuman coldness and abruptly withdrew his hand.

"Their bodies... were like blocks of ice... I couldn't wake them no matter how I called them..."

Bai Yu's gaze swept over the six small bodies.

The children's eyelashes were frosted with white, and their lips were a deathly bluish-purple.

A cold rage burned silently in Bai Yu's chest, his clenched fists turning white at the knuckles.

Bai Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his frustration and anger at the failed chase, and said in a low but unusually clear voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Bai Yu took out his phone and dialed Yamaki Mitsuo's number without hesitation.
