Knights of the Digital World

"My friend, if things really don't work out, you should leave on your own. It's the right thing to do to save your strength to defeat Barbamon."

Behind Gallantmon is a holy knight, Omegamon, whose main color is white and whose left hand has the head of WarGreymon and the right hand has the head of MetalGarurumon!

However, he was not in good condition. His cloak was tattered, his chest armor had a hole, and his whole body was cracked. He was sitting on the ground, trying to persuade Crimson Knightmon in a low voice.

"Stop joking. Just stay there and watch! These guys can't do anything to me! My sense of justice never allows me to abandon my friends and the weak to run away alone!"

Crimson Knightmon resolutely refused and then glanced at the surrounding environment.

They are now nestled against a towering mountain. At the foot of this mountain lies a vast natural cave. The baby and child Digimon protected by Omegamon hide inside.

Before the mountain stood countless soldiers of the Barbamon Legion. They were blocked outside the cave by Gallantmon, unable to advance an inch. Due to the confined terrain, their power was also limited.

Otherwise, even a top-tier Ultimate Digimon like Gallantmon wouldn't be able to withstand the combined attack of so many Digimon.

Knowing his best friend's personality, Omegamon sighed and didn't try to persuade him any further. Instead, he closed his eyes and tried his best to regain some of his fighting strength.

Omegamon was indeed severely injured in the battle with Barbamon, but after escaping, he recovered most of his strength thanks to the regenerative abilities of a top-tier Ultimate level monster.

However, Omegamon is a paladin representing justice and goodness. He couldn't stand by and watch the weak be bullied. Therefore, even before his injuries had fully healed, he once again took to the battlefield to protect a small village.

After that, Omegamon protected more and more Digimon, and the number of battles increased. His injuries not only failed to heal, but continued to worsen.

But Omegamon didn't complain, didn't harbor resentment. He simply remained silent, continuing to fight to protect these weaklings.

To better protect these Digimon and prevent them from being accidentally injured in battle, Omegamon specifically chose this mountain. Before Gallantmon arrived, he had been guarding the cave alone, almost exhausting his last bit of energy in the process, bringing him to the brink of death.

Omegamon was worried about the fate of the Digimon in the cave, but unexpectedly, his best friend, who had been sent to the human world, suddenly appeared and took over his job.

But even ants can kill an elephant! Can Gallantmon really hold off so many Digimon by himself? And doesn't the Barbamon army have any Ultimate-level Digimon?

Omegamon was worried, but he didn't voice it to avoid affecting Gallantmon. He was simply focused on recovering, wanting only to be able to fight alongside his best friend in crucial moments!

Chapter Thirty, The Chaos Dragon Beast's Scheme

"You haven't won yet?!"

The Chaos Dragon Beast reached out and grabbed a Dark Dragon Beast, glaring at him fiercely.

"General... he's too strong. And the terrain isn't good either; we can't use our full strength. So..."

"The Dark Dragon Beast said tremblingly."

"Useless! You're all brainless idiots!" The Chaos Dragon Beast slammed the Dark Dragon Beast to the ground and cursed, "If the terrain is bad, then go change it! There are so many of you, and you can't even beat someone, but isn't it easy to blast a mountain?! Go! Blast that mountain down! Let's see what he can do then!"

"Yes Yes!"

Darkdramon meekly agreed twice, then quickly retreated, adopting a fierce expression and shouting at his subordinate Tankdramon:

"Didn't you hear me?! Get your ass up there and go blast the mountain! Anyone who doesn't contribute, I'll kill them!"

Chaosdramon ignored Darkdramon's fierce attacks on its own allies, and instead coldly snorted as it watched Gallantmon struggling against the combined assault of several Darkdramon and countless Tankdramon, Sealdramon, and Assaultdramon.

"Royal Knights? Ridiculous justice... You might as well just become part of my record and show Lord Barbamon my abilities!"

"Speaking of which, I wonder how Zanbazon is doing? Tsk, what abilities can a human brat and his Digimon have? They might as well come here with me to hunt these Royal Knights."

The Chaos Dragon Beast shook its head and began to reminisce about the days of slaying beasts.

Of the three generals, Momomon is the strongest and most mysterious, always acting alone. He only moves when Barbamon gives the order.

Chaosdramon and Slashmon have a good relationship. They often go out together to conquer other forces with top-tier Ultimate-level combat power. Slashmon doesn't care much about merit or fame; he enjoys fighting more and wants to experience the fun and improve himself through battle.

Chaos Dragon Beast wasn't as fanatical about battle as Slash Beast; he was more interested in accumulating merits, hoping to use his achievements to elevate his status and replace Momo Beast as the leader of the Three Generals.

Both sides got what they needed, and they could look after each other during the campaign for greater safety.

Like the last time they attacked Beangate Town, if they hadn't gone out together as a pair, but instead went alone, they might have been crushed by Bancho Beanmon and Bancho Leomon working together.

…………

"Oh? The Chaos Dragon Beast received intelligence from the Royal Knights and went to conquer them?"

The battered and bruised Slayer returned to its desolate base. From the Seal Dragon Beast that remained behind, it learned of the Chaos Dragon Beast's movements and let out an envious sigh.

"This is great! To fight against top-tier ultimate beings like the Royal Knights... I really want to have a go at them too!"

The Beast Slayer desperately wanted to rush over and fight the Royal Knights, but the pain from his wounds brought him back to reality, causing him to sigh helplessly.

"What a pity, I can't even unleash eleven of my full strength right now. Even if I could fight the Royal Knights, it would just be a waste of an opportunity... Oh well, I should focus on recovering first. There will be other chances in the future..."

The beast shook its head, and its warhorse snorted as it led him toward the medical station.

…………

"The Royal Spear!!!"

Gallantmon seized an opportunity, and the holy spear "Gram" in its right hand erupted with a layer of blue energy, piercing through the chest of a Darkdramon in an instant.

Darkdramon let out a miserable howl, its entire body shattering into data, leaving only a digital egg that automatically drifted into the distance.

The original seven Darkdramon were reduced to only three by Gallantmon. These three were also covered in wounds and filled with fear of Gallantmon, hesitating to attack again.

Seeing this, Crimson Knight Beast landed back in front of the cave, adopted a defensive stance, and quickly recovered its stamina and energy.

Even though the energy recovery rate within a top-tier Ultimate form is extremely fast, almost inexhaustible, Gallantmon's energy is steadily declining under such intense combat, now less than 40%.

"Omegamon, how are you now?"

Crimson Knightmon whispered to his best friend.

Omegamon opened its eyes, a glimmer of energy returning to its azure gaze: "My energy has recovered somewhat, and my injuries have temporarily stabilized. I can unleash a burst of power if needed. However, it won't reach the top level. Reaching the level of a strong Ultimate is my limit. What's wrong, Gallantmon?"

“Something’s not right… When I was fighting earlier, Tankdramon and the others were also attacking me. Although they couldn’t keep up with my speed, they still took up my energy. But before that, Tankdramon and their army stopped attacking me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat these Darkdramon so easily. I don’t know what they’re planning, but… I have a bad feeling.”

Crimson Knight Beast said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Omegamon forced himself to stand up, his voice becoming serious: "Aren't you feeling well? I understand. Let me think about what the Barbamon army will do..."

Gallantmon's intuition is very accurate; it's an innate talent honed through countless life-or-death battles.

As Gallantmon's close friend, Omegamon had been saved by Gallantmon's intuition several times, so he trusted Gallantmon's intuition very much and immediately began to think about the other's plans despite his injuries.

Before Omegamon could figure it out, the earth suddenly trembled. Omegamon was jolted and stumbled, grabbing against the mountainside, a hint of surprise in its eyes:

"An earthquake? That shouldn't be the case. The Earth's crust in this area should be quite stable..."

"No, it's Omegamon, it's Tankdramon and the others who are bombing the mountain!"

Standing outside the cave, with a wider field of vision, Crimson Knightmon spoke, its voice filled with shock and anger.

"Bombing the mountain? Could it be that they intend to..."

Omegamon also realized what was going on, its eyes widening as it guessed the Barbamon army's plan.

Then, the second wave of attacks arrived. The attackers were all Tankdramon. As Ultimate-level Digimon, their special attack, "Strive Cannon," could fire two nuclear warheads!

Even though the mountains and rivers in the digital world are far harder than those in the real world, they began to tremble under this constant bombardment, and countless rocks and soil fell down.

From within the cave came terrified cries and chaotic shouts. The baby Digimon were utterly incapable of protecting themselves. Even the Rookie Digimon struggled to protect themselves, let alone care for the baby Digimon.

"Oh no... I have to go take care of the children..."

Omegamon tried to rush into the cave, but was stopped by Gallantmon:

"Omegamon, you stay here. Prevent the Barbamon army from breaking in."

"And what about you?" Omegamon turned to look at his best friend and saw his firm gaze and unwavering belief.

"Me? I'm going to get to the root of the problem!"

Gallantmon flicked its red cape and charged towards Tankdramon:

"The Royal Spear!!!"

Chapter 31, The Outburst of Crimson Knightmon

Gallantmon's charge threw the Tankdramon into disarray. To maximize their numbers and firepower, they huddled together, thus hindering each other's movements.

"Don't be afraid! Aim at him, fire the cannons! Let's see if the Royal Knights can stop him!"

The Chaos Dragon Beast, suppressing its anger, roared as it looked at its chaotic subordinates.

However, Chaosdramon's command came a little too late. Gallantmon had already charged to the center of Tankdramon, and with Gallantmon's explosive energy gathered, the Holy Lance "Gram," enveloped in a thick blue aura, was plunged directly into the ground.

All the energy radiated outwards from the tip of Gram's spear. Before the TankDramon could even scream, they were crushed into Digi-Eggs by Gallantmon's energy and fell to the ground.

"Damn it, I knew these trash were more trouble than they were worth!" Chaosdramon cursed without hesitation as he watched Gallantmon slowly rise from among a group of Digi-Eggs.

"You're their leader? Defeating you will end this battle!"

Crimson Knightmon also noticed Chaosdramon, who was spewing foul breath, and turned its wild gaze to him, coldly demanding an answer.

"Ha, how arrogant. After expending so much energy and going through such a grueling battle, do you still think you can handle me? I am a top-tier ultimate form, after all!"

The Chaos Dragon Beast laughed in extreme anger, unleashing its undisguised aura.

"I underestimated you... but I will win!"

Gallantmon sensed the aura emanating from Chaosdramon, but it did not shake its resolve, and once again declared its determination to win.

"So, how arrogant! If you can do it, then come and try!"

The Chaos Dragon Beast roared, crouched down, and the two cannons on its back accumulated energy, continuously compressing it to increase its density and power until it reached its peak before firing it at top speed.

"Super Infinite Cannon!!!"

Gallantmon lowered its head slightly, and the Guilmon-shaped shield above its head descended, obscuring its eyes. The Holy Shield "Aegis" retracted in front of it, and the Holy Lance "Gram" pointed directly at Chaosdramon. A surge of energy erupted from its feet, propelling Gallantmon forward at breakneck speed.

"The Royal Spear!!!"

"Swish swish swish...!"

The continuous sounds of energy colliding and rubbing rang out as Crimson Knightmon, enduring the powerful high-density energy cannon unleashed by Chaosdramon, charged towards Chaosdramon.

However, Chaosdramon's attack was not just for show. Although Gallantmon managed to break through his attack, the energy in its Holy Lance was completely depleted as a result.

Chaosdramon hadn't expected Gallantmon to fight so fiercely and recklessly. Wouldn't a normal person dodge his Super Infinity Cannon? Who would charge straight at him?

So much so that when Gallantmon broke through his energy cannon and appeared in front of him, Chaosdramon was stunned for a moment.

However, Chaos Dragon Beast was a battle-hardened being who had overcome that insurmountable barrier to reach the ultimate level. Without much thought, the moment Crimson Knight Beast appeared, it extended its right iron claw and slashed at Crimson Knight Beast's chest.

Crimson Knightmon was prepared for this. The Holy Shield "Aegis," which it had been holding in front of it, was thrust out, and Chaosdramon's iron claws struck the center of the Holy Shield. But the next moment, its iron claws were also swung aside along with the Holy Shield, exposing Chaosdramon's vital chest and abdomen.

"The Royal Spear!"

Without hesitation, Crimson Knightmon thrust out its holy spear once again.
