Knights of the Digital World

Each of the two weapons wielded by the Beast Slayer has its own unique characteristics. The Dragon Slayer in the right hand is a giant sword that has drunk the blood of countless dragons and beasts, making it more suitable for fighting enemies that are large in size and have great strength.

The demon sword in the left hand is better suited for slaying beasts and is more suitable for fighting small and agile enemies.

The previous battle had already made it clear to Zhanfa Beast that Parad was only of average level among Ultimate-level beings.

Against this kind of opponent, the Demon Blade is the most suitable weapon!

Compared to the honed skills of the Beast Slayer, which had been refined over countless years, Palad's attacks were not particularly sophisticated. The Beast Slayer easily blocked all of Palad's attacks.

However, Parad was indeed agile and had keen senses. Apart from the initial burst of speed from the Slashing Beast that injured Parad, he hadn't found an opportunity to strike again.

Slaying Beast remained calm in the face of this situation. He didn't mind dragging it out. He enjoyed fighting, especially battles that tested skill. He had the patience and ability to persevere.

In this respect, Palad is far inferior to the beast slayer.

After a period of stalemate, Parad became restless. Her fighting style became more aggressive, wanting to end the battle as quickly as possible. In doing so, she inadvertently revealed many weaknesses.

The Slayer noticed this, but he didn't immediately seize upon Parad's weaknesses to launch an attack. He realized that these weaknesses weren't enough for him to completely defeat Parad.

If he can't resolve the situation in one go, his attack will only awaken Parad, causing her to revert to her previous fighting style and returning everything to square one.

While slaying beasts can prolong this stalemate, ultimately, battle is about victory. If victory is achievable, why bring it back to square one?

Therefore, the Slayer continued to search for Parad's weaknesses. It even consciously guided Parad, making her play more aggressively and revealing more and more openings.

"It's almost time... The decisive moment will be just around the corner!"

The beast-slaying warrior has already foreseen victory!

Chapter Twenty-Eight, Repelling

"Hey, Emu, don't you think Parad's playing style is a bit too aggressive? Isn't it dangerous for her to play like this?"

With the blessing of the Digital Soul, Dai clearly saw the movements of both sides in the battle. Having years of fighting experience and being an observer, Dai quickly realized that something was wrong.

“Indeed… Parad is impatient. The Slayer Beast is also subtly guiding her…”

Emu nodded, agreeing with Dai's point of view. "Let me remind her."

Having experienced the world of the third season and used its power system to evolve Lionmon to its Ultimate form, Emu is now able to communicate telepathically with his Digimon partners to a certain extent.

With Emu and Parad's tacit understanding, they could still do this even without the Arc Light Machine from Part 3.

Furthermore, Emu was also using the Digivice to provide Parad with his Digimon Souls, making communication even easier.

Parad saw a good opportunity at this moment. It seemed that the beast-slaying technique was too strong. The demon sword in his left hand was swung too hard, causing his whole body to tilt and exposing his vital parts in the chest and abdomen.

Parad was overjoyed and was about to rush forward to attack when Emu's voice suddenly rang in her mind:

"Pallard, be careful. The Slayer Beast is deliberately trying to lure you in! Don't fall into its trap!"

Parad suddenly heard Yongmeng's reminder, and his movements slowed by a fraction of a second. His previously anxious heart calmed down. Looking back at what he had thought was an opportunity, Parad immediately realized something was wrong. With his superb skills in beast slaying, such a basic flaw shouldn't have appeared at all.

However, he had been blinded by victory and hadn't noticed this at all, only thinking about seizing the opportunity to defeat his opponent.

If it weren't for Emu's reminder, I might have already lost!

"Hmm? It seems she's realized this is a trap. Has she sobered up from her previous impatience? That doesn't make sense... Is it because of that human child? The Digimon Soul fluctuations on them are very similar... ShineGreymon and Masaru Daimon were like that before too. Is this the effect of cooperation between humans and Digimon? How interesting."

Parad's changes did not escape the eyes of the Slashing Beast. The Slashing Beast was also subconsciously analyzing the reasons for Parad's changes.

The next moment, realizing something was wrong, Palad began to retreat rapidly, while the Slayer Beast snapped out of its subconscious thoughts and let out a hearty laugh:

"It's quite impressive that you could see through my trap. However, I'd better take this blow head-on! Attack the first prison gate!"

The Slayer Beast twisted its sideways body, exerted force from its waist and abdomen, and with the burst of power from its entire body, the huge horse-slaying sword in its right hand slashed down at Palad with incredible speed and the energy of the Slayer Beast!

Parad tried to escape, but it was too late. Just like when she faced the slashing attack that the Slashing Beast unleashed across space, Parad had almost no time to react before the Dragon Slash was already in front of her.

Parad didn't have time to think. Instinctively, he crossed the lotus roots above his head, squeezing out all his energy and pouring it into the lotus roots to create a defense against the slash.

The attack from the Slayer Beast, which gathered all its power, had returned to the realm of top-tier ultimate level beasts. It was even considered above average within this level.

Faced with this attack, Parad felt an indescribable pressure. It was very similar to the feeling she had when she looked up at Lucemon in the past.

However, unlike others, she did not fight Lucemon head-on. Although she was also overwhelmed by his aura and found it difficult to move, she did not feel much else.

But now, she was facing this terrible blow alone. Palad knew that if she couldn't withstand it, she would die!

The fear of death left Palad with no time to think about anything else. He simply frantically squeezed out all his energy.

More! Even more!!

Palad vaguely sensed that she had broken through some kind of bottleneck. But she had no energy left to feel it. Because the strike of the Beast Slayer had already fallen!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, dust was instantly thrown up by the violent aftershocks of energy, making it impossible to see what had happened.

The aftershocks of energy washed over where Emu and the others were, ruffling their fur.

Dai asked anxiously, "Emma, ​​how is it? Is Parad alright? That attack was too strong. If Slashmon had slashed ShineGreymon like that earlier..."

He shook his head as he spoke. With the special attack boost from Dragon Slash, this strike would only deal more damage to ShineGreymon.

"Palad is still alive."

Emu gave a brief reply, focusing her attention on communicating with Parad, repeatedly calling out to Parad:

"Palad, how are you? Answer me quickly, Palad!"

"Cough cough, Emu, I'm fine."

At Emu's call, Parad's weak voice echoed in his mind: "I'm a little injured... but it's not a big deal, I'll be fine after some rest. I'll recover even faster with the help of the Lotus Beast sisters when I get back. However, I'm not capable of fighting right now."

"I'm glad you're alright. Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest."

Emu breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Parad was alright. As for the Slayer Beast? Emu silently took out the Gallantmon card.

It's time to let him taste the power of a Royal Knight!

At this point, the dust gradually settled, revealing the state of the battlefield.

Parad was sent flying dozens of meters away by the slash from the beast-slaying blade, lying on her back on the ground, her whole body somewhat unreal. There was a huge wound on her chest from the Dragon Slayer Maru, and lotus roots cut in two lay scattered on either side of her body, making her look extremely pitiful.

Opposite her, the Slashing Beast looked much better. Although his armor was cracked, and the armor on his right hand was completely shattered from the powerful blow he delivered while injured, he still appeared capable of fighting. Even with his aura weakened, he was no weaker than a typical Ultimate-level being.

"Hahaha, I am very satisfied with this battle!"

The beast did not pursue, but stood still and burst into laughter:

"You are all worthy opponents. Parad, is that right? You have now joined our ranks. I truly look forward to our next encounter. Well then, farewell!"

After Zhanfashou finished laughing, he actually prepared to leave.

"Hey! Why are you leaving like this? Aren't you going to continue fighting with us?"

The man was astonished by the beast-slaying act and immediately shouted in surprise.

"I've had a great time today! And, as you can see, I'm not without injuries. My current injuries are enough to keep me recovering for a long time. If I continue fighting, who knows how badly I'll get hurt? If it damages my core, it will actually affect my fighting ability. So, let's call it a day. I look forward to our next encounter; I hope you can bring me even more surprises!"

The beast turned its head and answered Da Ke's question, letting out another hearty laugh.

Amidst his loud laughter, his warhorse snorted and trotted along, carrying him away until he disappeared from sight.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gallantmon and Omegamon

"Although it's an opponent, I actually think the Slayer Beast is not bad at all." Da sighed with mixed feelings as he watched the Slayer Beast's departing figure.

"What a pity! I will never forgive the crimes committed by Barbamon's army! I will always remember the grudge against Eggmon and the others! Next time, next time I will definitely defeat them with ShineGreymon!"

Da clenched his fist and loudly voiced his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Emu had already run to Palad's side when Dai and the Slashing Style were at the time.

Seeing Emu approach, Parad gave a weak smile, his illusory form shattered, and he regressed into his demon beast form:

"Emu, although I lost, it seems I've broken through. When I evolve into Belstarmon next time, I'll be a top-tier Ultimate level."

"Well, Parad, you've done a great job. Come inside the Digivice and rest."

Emu nodded in praise and put Parad back into the Digivice.

"Emu, where do we go next? Agumon and Parad are both seriously injured, we need to find a doctor. The last Digimon I met, Sagemon, was a very knowledgeable Digimon with excellent medical skills, but I don't know where he went."

Da also walked over, scratched his head, and said with some worry.

"It's alright. The people of Beangate Town are currently hiding inside Whalemon's body. I'll take you there later. The Lotusmon sisters also have strong healing abilities, enough to heal Parad and Agumon."

As Yongmeng spoke, she took out the arc light machine again:

"However, we can't go back yet. There are people waiting for our support on the other side. Boss, shall we come together?"

"Hahaha, need I say more? You can leave the fighting to me!"

He laughed heartily, even looking somewhat expectant. But then, as if remembering something, he asked:

"By the way, who are we supposed to support? Also, what's the situation with the people from Beangate Town inside Whalemon's body? To be honest, Agumon and I stayed in the Misty Forest for a while longer, and when we came out, everything seemed different."

"I'll tell you all this on the way. Now, let's set off!"

Emu had finished the card exchange, and Lionmon had evolved again into the gigantic DoruGreymon, which crouched down waiting for Emu and the others to come up.

Both Dai and Emu were very agile and quickly climbed onto DoruGreymon's back. DoruGreymon let out a roar and flapped its wings to take flight.

"I wonder how Gallantmon is doing... After all, it's a top-tier Ultimate level monster, so it should be fine, right?"

A flicker of worry crossed Emu's mind, but he quickly shook his head, dismissing it. After taking out the speed-boosting card to increase DoruGreymon's speed, he began to recount what had happened to Dai.

Thinking too much now will only cause more trouble, so it's better not to overthink it and just focus on providing support.

…………

"Get out of my way! Pure Land of Bliss!"

Crimson Knightmon roared and smashed a charging Dark Dragonmon with its left-hand holy shield, "Aegis." Then, the holy shield was raised, and the triangle on it was quickly lit up by energy. A thick beam of energy shot out, tearing a white line through the Barbamon army in front of it.

Along this white line, the once neatly arranged Assaultmon, Sealdramon, and Tankdramon all turned into Digi-Eggs. Even Darkdramon was grazed by the beam of light and lost its left arm.

But the next moment, a surge of people appeared, and countless Assault Dragonmon, Sealdramon, and Tankdramon filled the previous gaps, maintaining the encirclement.

"Huh, huh..."

Crimson Knight Beast panted, looking at the scene before him without showing the slightest emotion.

This wasn't the first time this had happened. He had previously defeated Barbamon's army of Digimon several times, only to be replaced the next moment.

Gallantmon has killed countless Barbamon Digimon, including at least five Darkdramon alone. But now, seven Darkdramon remain before him.
