Knights of the Digital World

This kind of random swinging, where even the master's whereabouts are unknown, is the most difficult to predict in terms of direction. Wukong Beast didn't want to be slashed for no reason.

Besides, is there no way he can hide behind a shield? He's using a club!

Wukong Beast circled back to the front, slamming his golden cudgel towards the shield with a special technique, the force of which was transmitted behind the shield.

This is what Wukong Beast is going to do—martial arts, hitting a cow from across a mountain!

Etemon is a Digimon born for battle. He is proficient in various martial arts and sorcery. As for the technique of "hitting a cow through a mountain," it sounds mysterious, but it is actually just the transmission of force, a very simple technique for Etemon.

In particular, Wukong Beast uses blunt weapons like clubs, which have an advantage in force transmission compared to sharp weapons like swords.

This is also where Wukong Beast's confidence comes from!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Victory!

Gokumon was confident that the force transmitted by this strike would make Emu's hands and feet go numb, and he might not even be able to hold onto his shield.

However, Emu remained as steady as a rock, his head bowed, his hand firmly gripping the shield.

Wukong Beast raised an eyebrow and roared, "I refuse to believe it!"

As he spoke, Wukong Beast's Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff) rained down on the shield.

With each strike, Wukong controlled himself to use the "hitting a cow across a mountain" technique, transferring the force of the attack to the target.

If the previous blow could be withstood thanks to the weak Ultimate level's constitution, even a normal Ultimate level wouldn't dare to withstand the damage caused by the combined force of this blow!

Wukong Beast has that confidence!

However, Emu behaved like a robot, devoid of pain and sensation. Even under the relentless attacks of Gokumon, he remained completely still, keeping his head bowed and crouching with his shield in hand.

The Wukong Beast, panting heavily, stopped its attack.

He looked at the motionless Yongmeng, his confusion almost turning into a tangible question mark.

How could anyone not react at all to such an attack?

Even top-tier ultimate forms don't possess this level of defense, right?

At least move a little!

Seemingly sensing that Gokumon's attack had stopped, Emu stood up, gripping his shield.

Unexpectedly, after the shield was removed, a big-eyed knight with a pink, punk-style hairstyle was revealed. He was brimming with energy in his legs, waved to Wukong Beast in a friendly manner, and then kicked out:

"kiightycriticalstrike!"

Although it's only a level 2 ultimate move, with the energy boost at level 5, this kick looks incredibly powerful.

Wukong Beast was taken aback by the sudden kick. However, his excellent fighting instincts allowed him to raise his Ruyi Jingu Bang and block the attack.

However, the hasty parry was still not enough to completely deflect this attack.

The golden cudgel that Wukong had raised was kicked so hard that it landed directly on his chest, causing him to stagger backward. He retreated more than ten meters before stopping, looking at Yongmeng with some annoyance.

"You... how did you do that? Are you a twin Digimon? And why didn't you react at all when I hit you with my force?"

Gokumon wasn't too concerned about his injuries. He was very similar to his original form, with a body of steel and incredibly resilient. He was more concerned about Emu's erratic behavior earlier.

Emu made no attempt to hide his intentions, patted the Gundam mecha beside him, and laughed:

"This is my Gundam mecha. I can detach from it freely, and even after leaving, I can still pilot it in combat. Of course, I can't perform any overly complex maneuvers."

"I see! You secretly disengaged while on defense! All the force was actually absorbed by the mech. No wonder it's like a robot! You're good at using your advantages! I like people like you who fight with their brains! However, now that I know the principle, I won't be fooled by you anymore."

Etemon, being a skilled combat Digimon himself, guessed Emu's plan before Emu could finish explaining and praised him repeatedly.

Gokumon enjoys fighting, but he doesn't shy away from strategy. In fact, using tactics in battle is quite normal; it's also a form of combat ability.

Wukongmon simply hates schemes and backstabbing. If Sanzangmon had put the headband on Wukongmon during their battle, Wukongmon would definitely have submitted.

However, when Wukong Beast wasn't paying attention, Sanzang Beast suddenly put the headband on Wukong Beast, which explains why Wukong Beast was furious.

The attack that Wukong Beast used earlier, which involved hitting a cow across a mountain, had also consumed a lot of its strength. It recovered a little while communicating with Emu.

Then, Wukong Beast stopped delaying and charged towards Yongmeng once again.

What he seeks is a thrilling battle, not just victory!

If you keep delaying your recovery, how can you say you've had a truly exhilarating experience?

"Swift as lightning!"

As Wukong ran, he thrust his Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff) into the ground, and the staff instantly grew longer, carrying Wukong straight into the sky.

Several thunderclaps echoed in the sky, and Wukong Beast, whose body was filled with a large amount of lightning energy, descended from the sky and charged towards Yongmeng.

"Wow, are you Stephen Chow? That's a palm strike that fell from the sky?"

While complaining, Emu jumped back into the Gundam mecha.

After separating from the Gundam mecha, both abilities are reduced by half. Only by staying inside the mecha can Gundam action players unleash their full potential.

Even facing Gokumon's full-force attack, Emu dared not be careless.

Upon returning to his mecha, Emu sensed that numerous tiny parts inside the mecha had been damaged, clearly a result of Gokumon's earlier attack.

Obviously, even a robot would not be able to escape unscathed from such an attack.

Fortunately, this is the Digital World, and Emu is piloting a Fantasy Gundam created from Gacha cartridges. In the Gundam universe, such damage would require major repairs, but for now, Emu can still use energy to replace the function of these parts and continue fighting.

Of course, it will have a significant impact on energy consumption and combat effectiveness.

Faced with Gokumon's attack, Emu prepared to use offense as defense. After all, unlike before, this time the target was clear and there was no chance of confusion.

Emu casually tossed aside his shield, drew the beam rifle that came with his Gundam, and fired several shots at Wukongmon without even aiming. Then he tossed aside the beam rifle again, drew another beam saber, and brandished the two sabers in his hands.

The beam rifle is quite powerful in the Gundam series. However, as a bonus item included with the cartridge-based Fantasy Gundam, Emu's beam rifle was actually weakened. Although those shots hit Etemon, they were all blocked by the lightning energy surrounding him. Apart from consuming some energy, it didn't cause much damage to Etemon.

Emu didn't want to stand on the ground to take the attack from Gokumon, because that would leave no room to deflect the force.

Therefore, Emu leaped up, and a layer of fiery red digital soul gradually covered the beam saber in his hand, slashing towards Gokumon.

This is one of the applications that Emu figured out. With the addition of the Digital Soul, the beam saber's destructive power becomes even more terrifying.

Etemon was pleased with Emu's decision to fight head-on and let out a sharp laugh. A layer of golden-red Digital Soul also emanated from his lightning energy, tightly enveloping Etemon.

Wukong Beast also used all his strength, betting the outcome on this one strike!

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, a violent explosion occurred at the center of the collision.

The two figures were also thrown out from the middle by the explosion and crashed to the ground.

A moment later, a figure got up. His left arm was broken, and his body was covered in cracks with cracks crackling with electricity. Suddenly, a large gash appeared in his chest and abdomen, and Emu, still in his Ex-Aid pose, staggered out, his body also bearing charred marks.

Gundam and pilot are one. Although the Gundam armor blocked a lot of damage, Emu also felt unspeakable pain, as if he had really lost an arm.

Meanwhile, the figure on the other side tried to get up, but after several attempts, it collapsed weakly to the ground.

This is Wukong Beast. His fur was charred black from the explosion, making him look quite miserable.

But Wukong Beast had a smile on his face. He looked up at the sky and laughed heartily, saying:

"This time, I, Old Sun, lost! A bet's a bet, and I'll become Sanzang Beast's disciple. I had a lot of fun in this match! I hope we can have another chance! Hahahaha!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Gokumon Gacha!"

Chapter Thirty-Eight, On the Road

"Pallard, a bit stronger wind... but not too strong! Yes, that's it, feels good~"

LadyDevimon closed her eyes, felt the wind rushing towards her, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Keep it up! If you feel you're running low on energy, just say so and let Emu recharge your Digital Souls."

"Okay, LadyDevimon. But, will this really help me improve my abilities?"

Parad, now in LadyDevimon's form, was riding a broomstick, flying through the air, trying his best to control the summoned wind to meet LadyDevimon's requirements, and asked.

"Hmph, don't think this is easy. You can hold on for a minute, two minutes. But what if you extend the time? The longer you hold on, the more tired you will become, and the more difficult it will be to control. That's how you get training results. Your foundation is not solid, so you must make up for the training during the mature stage. Otherwise, even if you evolve into the ultimate form in the future, you won't be able to unleash your true strength."

"Illidan said, waving her finger."

During her previous training, she noticed that Parad's foundation was unstable. After discussing it with Emu, Parad decided to train in its Champion form for the time being until it met LadyDevimon's requirements, and then proceed with its Ultimate form training.

This is clearly more advantageous for Parad. Parad is very talented, and Emu himself is no ordinary person; his Digital Soul is abundant and powerful, enabling Parad to cross several thresholds in a short period of time.

However, Parad also has his own problems, such as a lack of combat experience and poor energy control.

LadyDevimon was willing to help Parad solve these problems, and Emu naturally cooperated fully.

It is now the second day after Emu and Gokumon's battle ended.

Yesterday's battle looked fierce, but Emu wasn't seriously injured. His Gundam cartridges are temporarily unusable and will need time to be repaired. Emu is currently using a level 3 flight action player.

Wukong Beast's recovery ability is exceptionally amazing; after lying down for a while, he was able to move around freely again.

Of course, after such a fierce battle, full recovery wasn't so easy. The four found their way back to their original spot, rested for a night, and then continued their journey.

Gokumon kept his promise and became Sanzangmon's apprentice. However, he still didn't like to talk to Sanzangmon. He would rather fight Emu again, or LadyDevimon would also be willing.

As for Sanzomon, Angewomon, Mamebomon, and Parad, none of them were considered strong in his eyes, and he had no interest in fighting them.

Unfortunately, Emu had already fought once before and didn't want to fight again for the time being. LadyDevimon, on the other hand, was busy teaching Paradox and had no interest in fighting.

Feeling utterly bored, Wukong simply used his demonic magic "Somersault Cloud" to lie down on it, floating above the rest of the group while basking in the sunlight, feeling the flow of energy within his body, and checking for any hidden injuries.

LadyDevimon and Paradox need no further explanation, while on the other side, Angewomon is also seeking advice from Sanzomon.

Angewomon had long wanted to learn the art of reading people from Sanzomon. This would be a great help to the two sisters, who also roamed the Digital World, and could avoid a lot of trouble.

Angewomon felt that she was not as good as her sister in battle, but she did not want to be a useless burden. Therefore, she wanted to learn the art of observing people from Sanzomon so that she could play her own role.

Sanzomon was also happy to teach Angewomon. She wasn't the type to keep secrets. She had declined Angewomon's invitation before because of Gokumon's matter, but now that everything was resolved, she traveled with Angewomon and taught her how to read people.

And then there's Big Bean Beast, who's focused on getting on the road and doesn't want to slow everyone down. He usually goes out to play by himself, and it doesn't matter if he walks fast or slow. But now that he's taking others with him, he can't be so leisurely.

Fortunately, because LadyDevimon was training Paradox and Sanzomon was teaching Angewomon, the team's progress wasn't too fast, and it was still within the limits of MameMamemon's ability to keep up. But, well, they weren't really in the mood for conversation.

Emu, meanwhile, was holding a game cartridge in his hand, examining it closely. It was the Gokumon cartridge; he still remembered the system fragment notification from yesterday.

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Gokumon Gacha! Using the Gokumon Gacha will allow you to transform into a Level 5 Action Fighter."

He had rushed back yesterday and hadn't asked any questions. Now, as he walked slowly along the road, undisturbed, he took out the cassette tape again and asked himself:

"System fragment, come out and answer a few questions for me."
