Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

A chilling fog and a torrent of deep blue data erupted simultaneously, creating two distinct transformation effects that blossomed in the narrow corridor.

Bai Yu: Ice crystals spread from the ground to his entire body like thorns, and the phantom of the Ice Demon Beast appeared in the cold mist. Ice wings unfolded and enveloped Bai Yu... He successfully transformed into the [Ice Demon Beast Armor Form; Strength Assessment: C-rank].

Taiyi: A torrent of data swept over Taiyi's entire body like a prehistoric storm. A huge shadow of Allosaurus claws appeared on the ground. In the torrent, the phantom of Allosaurus let out a low roar... He successfully transformed into [Allosaurus Armor Mode; Strength Assessment: C-rank].

Koushiro, Hikaru, Keito, and Kai were all incredibly surprised that Taichi could also use Shiraha's things to transform.

Qi Ren, in particular, had a burning desire in his heart and wanted Bai Yu to lend him the item so that he could also try out the transformation ability.

After all, what boy can resist the temptation of armor?

Koushiro actually thought the same thing, but due to his personality, he maintained a reserved demeanor on the surface.

The charging Anomalocaris and Half-Fishmon were forced back several steps by the powerful energy burst from their transformations, stopping in the courtyard and warily watching their two suddenly transformed opponents.

"One person at a time, take care of it quickly." Bai Yu said to Taiyi, then turned to Kei and Koushiro: "Leave this to us, you guys go find somewhere else to hide."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ren immediately spoke up: "Brother Bai Yu, I..."

He wanted to stay and help, but Bai Yu interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"Leave this to me and Taiichi. You and Guilmon are responsible for protecting the others." Bai Yu's instructions were not to be questioned.

Qi Ren wasn't one to disobey orders, and nodded heavily: "Okay, Brother Bai Yu, I understand."

Seeing this, Bai Yu said no more, flapped his ice crystal wings, and flew straight towards the strange shrimp beast.

Taiichi also snapped out of the powerful feeling of his first transformation. He clenched his fist, which was covered by heavy armor, feeling the explosive power contained within it. Then he let out an excited growl and strode towards the half-fish beast.

As soon as the fighting started, Keito immediately took Guilmon and escorted Koushiro and the others away from the other side of the house to find a safe place to take refuge.

Bai Yu flew up to the Shrimp Beast and punched it squarely on the head without hesitation.

"boom!"

The monster was knocked backward a distance, but after regaining its balance, it immediately launched a counterattack, its two thick forelimbs whistling through the air as it fiercely attacked Bai Yu.

After exchanging a couple of blows with Qixiu Beast, Bai Yu suddenly produced the 'Frost Chain Whip' in his hand, flicking it out in two tricky arcs that struck Qixiu Beast's back, leaving two small icy marks.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yu flicked his wrist, and the chain whip skillfully wrapped around the tail of the Qixi Beast. With a forceful flick, he sent the big guy flying through the air, crashing heavily into a large tree outside the yard and snapping it in two.

Beside the broken tree, the Qixi Beast quickly adjusted its posture, exposing its abdomen. A creaking sound came from inside its body, and the next second, a dense barrage of energy projectiles poured towards Bai Yu.

The ice crystal wings behind Bai Yu instantly disintegrated and reassembled into a thick ice shield in front of him.

All the energy projectiles were blocked, and in the instant that the monster stopped firing, the ice shield shattered into countless fragments, which shot towards the monster.

Upon seeing this, the monster immediately lay down on the ground, using its hard shell to block the attack of the fragments, producing a series of dense clanging sounds.

On the other side, Taiichi and the half-fish beast were also fighting fiercely.

Whether it's because Taiichi usually loves sports or because he's actually been in many fights, his performance in battle right now is quite good.

At first, Taiichi engaged in close combat with Half-Fishmon. The immense power granted by Alldramon Armor made each of his punches powerful and heavy, landing several heavy blows on Half-Fishmon.

Having suffered a loss with his bare hands, the half-fish beast immediately took out its weapon, a harpoon.

Seeing this, Taiyi also summoned his weapon, the Exploding Wind Hammer.

It was a heavy, blunt weapon with a rough design.

Half-Fish Beast wielded a harpoon and thrust it at Taiichi, but Taiichi, relying on his superior armor, withstood the attack. At the same time, he swung his Explosive Hammer, and with one blow, he almost deformed Half-Fish Beast's face.

The half-fish beast cried out in pain and retreated repeatedly.

Let's turn our attention back to Shiraha.

Seeing that the 'Frost Chain Whip' was having difficulty effectively breaking through the Shrimp Beast's shell, Bai Yu didn't waste any time.

With a flick of his wrist, the [Wind and Calamity Beast Dial] appeared on his hand.

Bai Yu inserted the [Wind Calamity Beast Dial] into the slot on the other side of the driver and rotated it again.

Sound effects begin:

"Wind Calamity Beast!"

"Digital Armor Moment!"

The scarlet armor pieces appeared out of thin air, were kicked apart by Bai Yu, and then the scarlet layered armor plates covered the ice-blue base.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Yu completed his transformation, becoming the even stronger [Ice Demon? Wind Calamity Beast Enhanced Armor Form; Strength Rating: C+].

Bai Yu activated the ability of this form, 'Rapid Froststorm,' making him even faster than before. In a flash, he appeared above the head of the Qi Shrimp Beast.

The ferocious 'Crimson Demon Claw' on its right arm slammed down with unparalleled power onto the Shrimp Beast's carapace.

"Boom!"

A powerful shockwave suddenly erupted, instantly creating a spiderweb-like crack in the ground. The Anomalocaris was slammed into the ground by this immense force, and clear cracks appeared on its hard shell.

Despite the excruciating pain, the monster launched a counterattack, unleashing its ultimate move, "Assassination Shock," which sent out two intersecting energy blades.

But Bai Yu was incredibly fast at that moment, easily dodging the attack.

Then, Bai Yu pressed the dial on the driver and rotated the driver again.

A cold, impersonal mechanical voice rang out: "The final moment..."

Chapter 71: The Wind Lion Beast

"The final moment..."

The cold, ruthless sound of machinery echoed in the night, announcing the end of the battle.

Under the watchful gaze of the Qixi Beast, Bai Yu gathered demonic power on his right leg, creating a violent wind pressure, while his left leg was covered with extreme cold energy capable of freezing everything.

This is the ultimate move of [Ice Demon? Wind Calamity Beast Enhanced Armor Form] - Frost Demon Smash Kick!

The first kick, a right leg imbued with the raw power of the Wind Calamity Beast, slammed into the shell of the Shrimp Beast.

"Crack!"

The wind pressure completely shattered the shell's structure, and spiderweb-like cracks spread at a visible speed before breaking apart.

Next came the second foot.

The left leg, wreathed in a chilling aura, precisely kicked into the rift torn open by the wind pressure.

The extreme cold energy invaded the Anomalocaris's body without hindrance, freezing the water inside its body instantly and bringing it to an abrupt halt.

Ultimately, under the clash of the two forces, the monster's body began to collapse from the inside, and with a muffled explosion, it turned into a sky full of data.

Bai Yu landed steadily, and a blank watch face appeared in her palm, absorbing the data in the air and becoming a new watch face.

【Anomalocaris Dial】: The base is a thick yellowish-brown, while the markings and textures on the edge are a cold silver-gray. When the dial cover is rotated, it forms a complete relief of an anomaly head.

After storing the newly acquired items in the system space, Bai Yu turned to look at the battlefield on the other side.

Taiichi held an absolute advantage in the battle against the half-fish beast.

Seeing this, Bai Yu gave up on helping and simply shouted, "Taiyi! Finish it off quickly!"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's shout, Taiyi knew that the attack over there was over, and his offensive immediately became even more ferocious.

"Behold my storm strike!"

Taiyi let out a low roar, and with the force of stirring up hot air, he slammed the blast hammer in his hand hard into the harpoon that the half-fish beast was swinging.

"clang!"

With a loud bang, the half-fish beast's harpoon flew out of its hand and embedded itself in the ground some distance away.

Before it could react, Taiyi's second attack had already arrived.

The blast hammer slammed heavily into the back of the half-fish beast, sending it flying.

The oxygen tank-like device on its back was dented by the hammer blow, producing a sickening metallic creak.

The half-fish beast fell to the ground in a sorry state, struggling to get up.

Taiichi didn't give it that chance. He casually tossed the heavy blast hammer aside, then pressed the dial on his belt and turned the drive.

"The final moment! Predator charge!"

Taiyi bent his knees slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and leaned his body slightly forward. The next second, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, and he shot out like a cannonball!

The power of "Predator's Kick" was brought to its limit. Taiyi left a scorching afterimage trail and, with unparalleled super speed, slammed his shoulder into the half-fish beast that had just gotten halfway up.

This time, it was a solid, firm lean.

"Boom—!"

The violent explosion instantly engulfed the half-fish beast, and the scorching shockwave whipped up the rubble and dust in the yard, creating a small storm.

When the dust settled, the half-fish beast had vanished, leaving only a sky full of data to prove that it had once existed.

Seeing this, Bai Yu did not hesitate at all. He immediately took out a new blank dial, stepped forward, and absorbed all the data that was about to dissipate.

Soon, the [Half-Fish Beast Dial] was also completed.

The dial's base color is a clear sea blue, accented with matte silver around the edges, giving it a distinctly oceanic feel.

The case back is engraved with the outline of a half-fish beast's body, making it a very unique design.

Taiyi looked at the new watch face in Baiyu's hand, where all the data had flowed, and said with a look of realization, "So that's how you got this thing."

He had been wondering where Bai Yu got these things from, but now he finally understood.

It turns out that it was created by defeating Digimon and then using this peculiar method.

Bai Yu also put away the [Half-Fish Beast Dial], having no intention of discussing this topic in depth with Taiyi.

The system is the biggest secret; there's no need to explain it to anyone.

"Let's go and meet up with Qi Ren and the others." Bai Yu clapped his hands and took the lead in heading in the direction Qi Ren and the others had left earlier.

"Oh, okay." Taiichi nodded and quickly followed.

The two of them quickly left the courtyard, which had now become a ruin, one after the other.

The night breeze carried a salty, damp scent, and the sound of waves crashing against the sand echoed across the beach.

Bai Yu and Taiyi soon spotted Qi Ren and his group at the beach.

They all seemed unharmed, which put Taiyi's mind at ease.

But the situation at the scene was far from peaceful.

Not far away, there were several obvious depressions and churned sand on the sand, clearly signs of a recent battle.

What caught Tai's attention even more was that standing next to Kai and the others was a Digimon they had never seen before.

The Digimon had a peculiar appearance; it sat there, like a stone lion.

Taiichi almost instinctively regarded the unfamiliar Digimon as an enemy, and in a moment of panic, his body subconsciously prepared to attack.

"elder brother!"

A clear shout rang out immediately, and Xiao Guang quickly ran to Taiyi and opened his arms to block him.

"Don't misunderstand, this Digimon is not an enemy."

Upon hearing his sister's words, Taiichi immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Xiaoguang, what exactly happened?"

Xiao Guang turned around, glanced at the quiet "stone lion," and then began to explain quickly.

It turned out that after they evacuated from the house to the beach, before they could even catch their breath, another ferocious-looking Digimon emerged from the sea and attacked them without warning.

Keito directed Guilmon to fight, but the opponent was clearly stronger, and Guilmon quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, being forced to retreat repeatedly.

At that critical moment, a sudden change occurred.

Minami's laptop screen suddenly lit up with a soft white light.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of data surged from the computer, transformed into the majestic Digimon it is today.

After it appeared, it easily defeated the ferocious Digimon that emerged from the sea in just a few moves.

After listening to Xiaoguang's explanation, Baiyu's gaze fell on the "Stone Lion" Digimon.

“This is Wind Lionmon,” Bai Yu said. It’s a Digimon of the Wind Lion type, said to be born with the ability to ward off disasters and prevent the invasion of evil viruses.
