Knights of the Digital World

Don't let the simplicity of the wooden figure fool you; it doesn't even have a face. It's incredibly strong. One blow from its hammer can send shivers down your spine.

After a short while, the big one started yelling:

"BanchoLeomon, you're cheating! What are those things on this wooden figure? I can't even exert any force! He can only hit me, I can't hit him, how am I supposed to fight?!"

He's incredibly fierce in fights, his defining characteristic being his recklessness. He doesn't like to dodge when facing opponents of similar size. When he fought Agumon, it was a simple exchange of blows, and he practically beat Agumon to a pulp.

However, his preferred method didn't work when facing a wooden dummy.

The wooden figure is completely unaffected; no matter how much you hit it, it won't have any impact.

However, Da Ke lacked the wooden man's abilities. A single punch from the wooden man was enough to cause him excruciating pain. Now, after taking several more punches, he was truly screaming in pain.

Toma and Shuna fared slightly better; at least they weren't as reckless as Da and knew how to dodge attacks. However, even so, they were exhausted from the wooden golem's attacks.

Perhaps due to the training he had undergone in the previous two months, Emu wasn't finding it too difficult to deal with the wooden golem. However, he was unable to inflict any damage on it.

"How to fight is the question you need to consider. Let me give you a hint. Think about your objectives, and then think about what you're going to do!"

BanchoLeomon stood on a branch of a large tree, arms crossed, a twig in its mouth, and calmly said.

"If you put it that way, I have no idea what to do!"

The giant continued to wail.

Yongmeng seemed to be deep in thought.

Isn't what they need right now to master the Digital Soul? From this perspective, is the unknown energy on this wooden figure... the Digital Soul?!

Emu decided to give it a try.

Emu seized the opportunity, unleashing a burst of blazing red digital soul from his right hand, which slammed into the wooden doll.

This time, the unknown energy on the wooden doll dissipated after resisting the digital soul for a while, and Emu successfully left a mark on the wooden doll.

"I see. Our goal is to master the ultimate digital soul, and the key to defeating the wooden golem is also the digital soul."

Thomas noticed Emu's actions, suddenly realized something, and loudly expressed his understanding. Blue digital souls burst forth from his hands and feet, turning the tide of the battle.

With Emu and Toma as examples, Yoshino and Dai quickly grasped the key, relying on the Digital Soul to reverse the decline and fight back and forth with the Wooden Golem.

"It seems you all understand the crux of the matter. Now, let's move on to the next step."

BanchoLeomon remained outwardly calm, but when he looked at Emu, there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

As expected of the disciple of the Boss Bean Beast, he's quick-witted and immediately found the key to the problem.

"Next, you need to stabilize your Ultimate Digital Soul and gain complete control over it."

I think you all know this, right? The digital soul is actually a manifestation of will. Human will is influenced by many factors, the most common being the body and emotions.

People with poor health often lack willpower. On the other hand, people who are healthy and strong are less likely to have their willpower swayed.

Of course, there are exceptions. But overall, this is the general rule.

BanchoLeomon spoke eloquently, and Emu had heard similar remarks from BanchoMamemon. Clearly, as top-tier Ultimate Digimon, their understanding of the Digimon Soul was similar.

"You don't need to worry about your physical health. Being able to unleash the Ultimate Digimon Soul proves that you're fine in that area. Now, the important thing is to control the Digimon Soul. This requires you to unleash your emotions."

Emotions come in many categories. However, some emotions, though unbiased, can unleash unexpected power. For example—the belief in protection!

Hearing BanchoLeomon's words, Emu immediately remembered his own resolve: to protect everyone's smiles.

If that's the case...

A violent burst of digital spirits suddenly erupted from Emu's body, but these digital spirits quickly stabilized and transformed into a layer of light that enveloped Emu.

"You've got it?! So fast?!"

BanchoLeomon hadn't expected that Emu would be finished so soon after he finished speaking.

However, he quickly explained what to do next:

"Once you have mastered the ultimate Digimon Soul, you can inject it into your Digimon Machine."

At this point, the Digimon will absorb your DigiSoul and evolve.

"After evolving, it's no longer called a Digimon Machine. Instead..."

"Digiviceburst!"

Chapter Sixty-Two, The Unfulfilled Promise (End of Volume)

"Waaah—"

A melodious whistle sounded, and the Dark Train Beast reminded everyone:

"Emu, we are about to cross the world barrier. Get ready."

"I'm ready, Dark One. Let's hurry, don't delay."

Emu sat alone in his seat and responded calmly.

The Darkship sounded its horn again, and the vehicle trembled violently. It had begun to traverse the world barrier.

Amidst the violent jolting, Yongmeng closed her eyes, her thoughts unconsciously drifting back to before she boarded the train…

…………

"Emu! You're amazing! You've mastered the Ultimate Digimon Soul already?"

Dai exclaimed in amazement as he watched Emu unleash his powerful digital soul to destroy his wooden doll.

Emu looked down at his brand-new Digivice and the powerful DigiSoul emanating from him, then looked up and smiled:

"I already had some understanding of protection before, so I grasped it faster. I believe you can do it soon too."

"Haha, that's right! Now watch me!"

Full of energy, he bent his right hand and shouted loudly.

In the original story, after Dae-successfully mastering the Ultimate Digital Soul, Toma and Yoshino immediately mastered it as well.

However, at that time, their partner was being persecuted by Digimon Hunters, which easily stirred up their belief in protecting others.

Now, everyone is doing well. They haven't even experienced too many setbacks, nor have they gone through a war like Emu, gaining insights from the brink of life and death.

Whether they can master the Ultimate Digital Soul at the same incredible speed as in the original work remains to be seen.

However, Emu certainly wouldn't say something so jarring, but instead smiled and said:

"Then you'd better work harder."

Just as he was about to say something, a melodious whistle suddenly sounded in the sky.

"This is... the Dark Knight?! What's he doing here? Wasn't there still a month left?"

While the others were still wondering what the whistle meant, Emu recognized it immediately.

"Emu, do you know what this is?"

BanchoLeomon noticed Emu's expression and asked.

"Yes. This is one of my companions. I was able to come into this world with his help. However, he should come back to take me back in a month."

Emu responded.

"Emu, are you leaving?"

Shu Nai was the first to ask.

"I don't know either. It shouldn't be this fast. Let's go and see what's going on."

Yongmeng ran out of the woods. Dai and the others exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

BanchoLeomon waved his hand, and the radiance on their wooden doll dissipated, reverting to its lifeless original form. He then followed.

Once out of the forest, the leader of the Beanmon gang, along with Parad and the others, emerged and asked:

"Do you know what that whistle means? I sense a Digimon approaching."

“Master, that’s a friend of mine. He’s a Digimon from my world, their race is Motormon. His name is Darkrai. I came to this world with his help.”

Emu explained to Bancho-chan.

The leader of the gang, Totomon, also knew about Emu's otherworldly origins. He listened attentively, nodded, and asked:

"Then what is his purpose in coming here? To take you back?"

"I don't know... I'll ask him when he gets here..."

Emu is currently unsure of the Dark Ship's purpose. However, Yoshino and the leader of the gang, Mamemon, are very likely right. If the Dark Ship wasn't there to take him back, why would it come?

The Darkship was fast, and soon arrived in front of Emu with its horn blaring. It then spoke:

"Emu, I've come to take you back."

"Darkship, what happened? Shouldn't there still be a month left according to the agreement?"

"Emu asked."

"This was my mistake. I didn't expect the internal barriers of this world to suffer such massive damage. This is a very serious injury to the world, and it will require a huge amount of energy to recover."

During this recovery process, the flow of time in our world and in this world is constantly changing. Therefore, I reached the limit of my ability a month earlier than I expected.

If you stay any longer, I can't guarantee I can send you back to the right time, and you might miss the battle you want to participate in.

Dark Number carefully explained the whole story to Emu.

This can't be blamed on the Dark Ship. It was entirely Kurata's fault for courting disaster, constantly using time-vibration bombs and causing immense damage to the world.

If the original storyline had continued, Kurata would have exploded along with a bunch of bombs, destroying the barrier between the Digital World and the Human World and dragging everyone down to hell.

These bomb-crazy, death-defying maniacs are so rare, even the Dark Knights have seen few of them. They wouldn't even consider such a thing.

Emu hadn't expected that even though Kurata had been dealt with, the historical issues he left behind could still affect him, leaving him somewhat speechless.

Kurata, as expected of you!

Yongmeng was once again impressed by this guy's tenacity; even after failing, he didn't forget to make his presence felt. He also began to think.

His original plan was to ask BanchoLeomon for advice on Burst Mode, and then go to Yggdrasil before the one-month deadline to fulfill his promise to Hypnomon and challenge him.

However, this unexpected accident completely disrupted his plans.

Emu definitely can't miss the battle in Part 4.

Despite its lackluster performance, Seraphimon is still a top-tier Ultimate-level being and one of the three great angels of the fourth season.
