Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

"Damn it! I refuse to believe you can destroy my armor!"

Taiyi roared and abandoned his defense, charging forward despite the Raincoat Beast's punches.

"Bang! Bang!"

The Raincoat Beast's two fists landed solidly on Taiichi's breastplate, producing a dull thud.

However, thanks to the excellent defensive capabilities of the [Dinosaur Armor], these two punches only caused Taiyi to stagger slightly, without causing much substantial damage.

Taiyi withstood the attack and slammed his fist, the size of a sand pot, down hard on the head of the Raincoat Beast.

Seeing this, the raincoat beast quickly retreated, dodging the powerful blow.

The "boxing match" between the two suddenly turned into a situation where one dodged and the other resisted, and for a time neither could do anything to the other.

Suddenly, the pair of sand mallets on the straw hat atop the raincoat's animal head began to shake rhythmically.

"Shh...shh..."

A crisp, rhythmic sound rang out, and a peculiar power spread out with the sound.

Taiyi, who was launching a fierce attack, suddenly froze.

"What's going on? My body..."

He felt as if his body was being influenced by an invisible force, and his feet involuntarily began to step in place in rhythm with the shaking of the sand mallet.

After that, she was completely unable to control her movements and could only sway like a puppet on a string to that strange rhythm.

This is the Raincoat Beast's signature move: Passionate Dance - Sand Hammer Version!

Taiyi was already struggling to withstand the Raincoat Beast's agile fist techniques, and now, with this added effect, he became an easy target.

The raincoat beast lunged forward directly.

"boom!"

A heavy punch landed squarely on Taiyi's helmet.

Taiichi's head was knocked back.

"boom!"

Another hook punch landed on his chin.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Raincoat Beast's fists rained down like raindrops, one punch after another, all landing on Taiichi's head.

The continuous heavy blows made Taiyi's consciousness dazed. He felt dizzy and the sound of impacts echoed in his ears.

Taiichi was extremely frustrated and could only urgently plead for help from Koushiro beside him: "Koushiro! Help... ah, help me!"

With each word Taiyi uttered, his body would involuntarily twist, matching the raincoat beast's demonic sand hammer rhythm, while he also had to endure the raincoat beast's punches, making him feel so humiliated that he wanted to die.

However, at this moment, Koushiro was also preoccupied with his own problems.

Koushiro's enemy is Baronmon, an armored Digimon that is clearly a minor leader among the group of enemies. Its strength is rated as the only C-rank, which is one small rank higher than Koushiro's [Armored Mode].

At the same time, Koushiro's lack of combat experience was also exposed at this moment.

Koushiro intends to use the strong spider silk shot from the web-shooting device on his forearm to restrain Baronmon's movements.

However, this tactic had almost no effect on Baronmon.

With its mastery of fire control, Baron used its flames to precisely incinerate the attacking spider silk, leaving not a trace of ash.

"Damn it!" Koushiro was getting agitated, his spider silk being completely suppressed by the flames.

He could only move around the battlefield by relying on the eight mechanical spider legs on his back, awkwardly dodging the fireballs fired by Baron Beast.

The rhythm of the battle was completely controlled by Baronmon.

After all, this was Koushiro's first time personally fighting a Digimon.

Just as Koushiro was struggling to fight, Tai's cries for help, filled with pain and frustration, came over.

Koushiro subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

That one glance!

Baronmon seized this opening!

"The White Curse!"

Baron's third eye on its forehead suddenly opened, and a pure white ball of light instantly condensed, from which a ghastly white beam of light shot out, striking Izzy's breastplate with lightning speed.

"Ugh!"

Koushiro let out a scream as a violent impact hit his chest, sending him flying backward uncontrollably before crashing heavily to the ground.

The armor collided with the ground, producing a dull, loud thud.

Baronmon pressed its advantage, charging towards the fallen Koushiro, its hands once again blazing with flames.

"Fire control technique!"

Two thick pillars of fire shot out from Baronmon's hands, heading straight for Koushiro on the ground.

A wave of scorching heat hit us.

But Koushiro was still clever. He didn't lose his composure in the face of the crisis. His mind worked at an unprecedented speed, and he came up with a solution in time.

[Corrosive venom sac]!

Koushiro hastily activated another ability, and the armor piece on his left shoulder that resembled a poison sac immediately opened, spewing out a thick, dark green poisonous mist.

The poisonous fog spread extremely quickly, engulfing Koushiro and the oncoming pillar of fire in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, the Baron Beast was also affected by the poisonous mist, and immediately felt a stinging sensation of being corroded.

Baron paused, then quickly retreated, escaping the range of the poisonous fog.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Koushiro, enduring the excruciating pain in his chest, suddenly rolled over on the ground. His eight mechanical spider legs, like those of a real spider, supported his body as he crawled rapidly across the ground.

Using the poisonous fog as cover, Koushiro quickly arrived at the battlefield between Taichi and Raincoatmon.

Koushiro raised his arm, aimed at the sand hammer on the raincoat beast's hat, and a tough spider web shot out precisely from the [Spider Web Launcher].

"Snapped!"

The spider silk, perfectly aligned, entangled the shaking sand hammer.

The mesmerizing rhythm abruptly stopped.

Almost at the same time, Taiyi, who was swaying to the rhythm, felt the invisible force controlling his body suddenly disappear.

My body is completely back under my control!

"Ah! It's my turn!" Taiyi let out a long-suppressed roar, and the anger that had been pent up in his chest erupted like a volcano.

Despite enduring the raincoat beast's punches, Taiichi delivered a solid blow to the raincoat beast's face with his fist, which was as big as a clay pot.

"You were having a good time hitting me just now!"

"You want me to dance?!"

"Go ahead and continue!"

Taiyi's counterattack was relentless and like a storm, with punches and kicks following one after another, each strike returning double the humiliation he had just suffered.

The Raincoat Beast was forced to retreat repeatedly by Taiyi's brutal fighting style.

Not satisfied with just punching,

With a thought, Taiyi summoned his weapon, the 'Exploding Wind Hammer'.

"Take this!" Taiyi swung the Explosive Hammer and smashed it down hard on the Raincoat Beast's head.

Just then, a figure darted out from the side—it was a deep-sea beast!

The deep-sea beast reached out one hand and steadily caught Taiyi's powerful and heavy blast hammer.

With his other hand, he quickly waved it in front of him, summoning a large number of bubble-like bombs that would explode at any moment, which surged toward Taiyi.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Dense bubble bombs exploded one after another on Taiyi's [Dinosaur Armor]. Although they failed to completely break through the defense, the violent impact still forced him to retreat repeatedly.

At that very moment, a thick, dark green poisonous fog spread out from the side without warning.

It's Koushiro making his move again!

The poisonous mist spewed out by 【Corrosive Venom Sac】sprayed out very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it engulfed Koushiro himself, as well as Deepsea Beast and Raincoat Beast.

Immediately afterwards, a series of violent explosions rang out from within the poisonous fog.

"Boom! Boom!"

On the other side...

Ahai, along with Keijin and Guilmon, are also fighting against Sepikmon and Batmon.

The Sepikmon let out a series of strange howls and launched the first attack.

"Soul Boomerang!"

It hurled the weapon in its hand, which sealed the soul of the dead, at Ah Hai with all its might!

The boomerang traced a strange arc in the air at an extremely high speed.

At this moment, Ahai's [Ancient Biological Hunting Instinct] was activated, and his dynamic vision allowed him to accurately capture the boomerang's trajectory.

Instead of dodging, he vigorously swung the [Tail Blade Armor] on his back, lashing it hard at the incoming boomerang!

"clang!"

With a crisp sound, the boomerang was sent flying backward.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Hai disintegrated the tail blade in an instant, turning it into two sharp short blades that he held in his hands.

Then, with a burst of power from his legs, he charged straight at the Sepikmon!

Seppimon caught the boomerang that flew back, and seeing Akai charging towards it with his double blades, it didn't retreat but advanced to meet him.

"Ding! Ding! Clang! Clang!"

The boomerang and the double short blades collided violently, splattering a series of sparks.

Beside him, Keito, holding the Arc Light Machine, gave the command to Guilmon: "Guilmon, go! Use Rockbreaker Claw!"

"Yes, Qi Ren!"

Guilmon responded, then took two strides and sprinted towards Batmon, its powerful forepaws gleaming with a cold light.

Faced with Guilmon's attack, Batmon flapped its wings, flew into the air, and easily dodged.

Guilmon, undeterred by its missed attack, immediately opened its mouth.

"Flameball!"

A blazing fireball shot out, heading straight for the bat-beast in the air.

However, the Bat Beast is quite agile in the air, and with a nimble flip, it once again dodged the fireball.

Chapter 76: Didn't I let you get away? Why did you come back?

After its two attacks were easily dodged, Guilmon angrily exhaled two puffs of white smoke from its nose.

It turned to look at Qi Ren, and the two achieved a tacit understanding in an instant.

Qi Ren nodded emphatically, quickly pulled a card from the card box, and swiped it cleanly on the arc light machine.

"Card swap! White Feather!" Qi Ren shouted the card's name.

An invisible force surged from the Arc Machine and instantly acted on Guilmon.

Three pairs of pure white wings made of pure energy sprouted from the back of Guilmon.

Guilmon felt the extra thing on its back and tried flapping it. Its body actually floated up lightly.

It cried out excitedly, then flapped its wings and flew high, heading straight for the bat-like beast in mid-air.

"Rock-Breaking Claw!"

Guilmon unleashed its signature move once again.
