Knights of the Digital World

The Seven Heavens missiles launched back all struck Seraphimon. Fortunately, Seraphimon had taken precautions this time. Although its wings were blasted to shreds, it protected its vitals, and its injuries were still within manageable limits.

"Ultimate Seraphimon! Are you alright?"

The children asked anxiously. All ten golden wings of Seraphimon were shattered, and white smoke was still rising from its body; it looked utterly wretched.

"I'm fine, I'm alright. You don't need to worry."

Seraphimon waved to the children, indicating that he was alright. However, his aura continued to slowly diminish.

"Hahahaha, you didn't expect that, did you? My ultimate move, Mirror of Generosity, can reflect all attacks! Your attacks will become weapons that kill you! Hahahaha!"

Silver Mirror Beast's fighting style is to explain its tactics or the ingenuity of its weapons and abilities to its opponents.

However, he wasn't just spouting nonsense and leaking his own information. Rather, he intended to use this method to strike at the other side.

In this instance, his goal was to make the opponent hesitant to act. Knowing that the enemy has the ability to retaliate, would you still dare to attack recklessly?

Of course, Silver Mirror Beast wouldn't tell the children that the attack just now had pushed him close to his limit. If the other three fighters hadn't weakened the previous attack, his "Mirror of Generosity" wouldn't have been able to deflect it, and would have instead seriously injured him.

Even from that attack, the Silver Mirror Beast was slightly injured, and now it can barely move its hand.

His explanation of his abilities, even if it was due to his personality, was a bluff to intimidate the other party.

The children were indeed frightened by the Silver Mirror Beast, looking at each other in bewilderment, hesitant to launch an attack.

However, Seraphimon is not as easily fooled as children. Even though his strength has declined, his insight and experience have not diminished; on the contrary, they have become even stronger.

He immediately pointed out the Silver Mirror Beast's weakness:

"Your skill is indeed impressive. However, such skills definitely have limits. There's either an upper limit or a limit to the number of uses. Even the Ancient Sage Beast couldn't reflect attacks indefinitely. You're merely the inheritor of its power, so how could you possibly do it!"

"Tch...you bastard..."

Silver Mirrormon's scheme was thwarted by Ultimate Seraphimon, leaving Silver Mirrormon somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

This is the second time.

Last time was the same; he tried to provoke Seraphimon's anger, but Seraphimon silenced him instead. For a strategist like him, the most detestable opponent is one who is out of his control.

"There's not much to say. Give me the Ultimate Angel, and the rest are up to you."

The previously silent Darkmon spoke, its gaze towards Seraphimon becoming intense:

"Seraphim, one of the three archangels... Come and try to kill me!"

Darkmon was always looking for an opponent who could kill him. However, he was influenced by Cherubimon and couldn't bring himself to deliberately throw the fight to his death or commit suicide. Moreover, his own pride wouldn't allow him to die that way.

Now, UltimateAngemon is a good choice.

However, if Darkmon had proposed a one-on-one fight earlier, it would definitely have refused, for fear of unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, Darkmon could only bring it up when Seraphimon was severely injured.

Sure enough, Silver Mirrormon considered it for a moment. UltimateAngemon was already severely injured and might not be a match for Darkmon. Besides, even if Darkmon couldn't win, Silver Mirrormon would certainly be able to protect itself.

On their side, FlowerDragonmon can easily suppress five children. Even if FlowerDragonmon is injured, doesn't he still have Nanamon and Nanamon to back them up?

This wave is stable!

After such a calm analysis, the Silver Mirror Beast nodded to the Dark Beast:

"No problem! He's yours!"

Seeing himself being tossed around like merchandise, Seraphimon grew angry and charged towards Darkmon:

"Evil darkness, let my light purify you!!"

…………

Emu and Parad rode their Flying Nimbus, rapidly approaching Seraphimon's castle. Soon, the castle came into view.

Just as Emu was about to charge in, the castle walls suddenly shattered, and a black figure placed his hand on the neck of a figure with ten tattered golden wings, carrying him out of the castle.

(=?Д?=)

Emu was startled. What the heck? How come I saw Darkmon fighting Seraphimon as soon as I walked in?!

Chapter Four: Master vs. Disciple

Emu was stunned by the ferocity of Darkmon, which was beating up Seraphimon so fiercely that he even doubted his own eyes.

No way, Seraphimon, are you really that pathetic? You're one of the three great angels! You're a top-tier Ultimate level! How could you get so badly beaten by a Champion-level Darkmon?

Even if Darkmon is one of the Ten Warriors and a bug-level Digimon with the strength of a weak Ultimate level Digimon even in its Champion stage, you are still embarrassing!

You truly live up to your reputation, you zero-win-rate beast!

Emu suppressed his inner吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) about Seraphimon, knowing he couldn't watch any longer. He raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), and a bolt of lightning shot towards Darkmon:

"Supercharged Lightning Cannon!"

The intense energy fluctuations alerted Darkmon. He kicked Seraphimon, using the force to back away and avoid the attack, then looked up.

At this moment, Yongmeng had already leaped into the air, her body enveloped in dazzling lightning, and swooped down towards the Dark Beast:

"Swift as lightning!"

The dark beast frowned, intending to dodge, but then sensed a familiar aura from the energy descending from the sky, causing it to slow its movements and miss the best opportunity to evade.

Seeing this, the Dark Beast simply stopped dodging, raised its demonic sword "Blood Evolution," concentrated all its energy into the sword, and slashed at the falling Eternal Dream:

"Blood...Assault!"

The collision of the two energies put immense pressure on both sides.

The Dark Beast staggered back a few steps, its hands gripping the "Blood Evolution" trembling slightly.

Emu was launched into the air, spun around in mid-air, and landed in front of Seraphimon.

"Emu, what do you say? Should I come?"

Parad also jumped down, stood next to Yongmeng, pulled out the "lotus root", and eagerly tried to enter the tunnel.

“Thank you both for your help. The opponent is a Dark Warrior under Cherubimon's command, not to be underestimated. Moreover, Cherubimon is behind him. You'd better leave. I will buy you some time. However, there are still some children in the castle. If possible, I hope you can rescue them.”

Seraphimon struggled to his feet and said earnestly.

It must be said that although Seraphimon's battle record is exceptionally poor due to the writers' mistreatment, even earning him the nickname "Zero Win Rate Digimon," as an angel-type Digimon, his heart is indeed kind and gentle.

Even though he was covered in wounds and his wings were shattered, clearly seriously injured, his first reaction was not to ask for help, but to prevent innocent people from being dragged into the fight.

He was even willing to sacrifice himself to help Emu and the others buy time, his only request being that they rescue the children.

Based on the character that Seraphimon has shown so far, no matter how much his strength has decreased, he is still one of the three great angels, the Seraphim!

“Parad, no need. This is my battle.” Emu first refused Parad, then said to Seraphimon:

"Ultimate Seraphimon, hello. Nice to meet you, I am Emu Hojo. I wonder if Takuya and the others have told you about me? Please leave this place to me. There are things between my master and me that must be settled."

"You're Hojo Emu? Didn't you say you were possessed by the Dark Beast... Hmm? Master... I understand, I'll leave this place to you."

UltimateAngemon looked at Emu, then at Darkmon, seemed to be deep in thought, and finally nodded in agreement.

Emu had already been involved in the struggle against Cherubimon, and he himself was very strong in combat, so Seraphimon didn't say anything to ask him to leave.

"Thank you so much. This is my partner, Belstarmon. Her name is Parad. You're not feeling well right now, so leave the task of helping Takuya and the others to her. Just point out the right people for her."

As Emu spoke, he nodded to Palad.

Parad, who shared a deep connection with Emu, sensed Emu's resolve and nodded, saying:

"Leave it to me!"

“Belstarmon? Parad? Hmm, I'll leave the rest to you. The children might not last much longer, let's go inside.”

UltimateAngemon sized up Parad. Although it had never seen a Digimon like her before, it could sense the surging energy within her. UltimateAngemon nodded and urged her on.

Parad wasn't one to dawdle either; he charged into the castle first, followed by Seraphimon.

Yongmeng watched the two leave before turning her gaze back to the Dark Beast.

The Dark Beast, which had been allowing Emu and the others to communicate and act at will, finally spoke:

"Emu, is this your new form? You've become much stronger, I'm very satisfied."

"Master, this time, I will definitely defeat you! I will kill you and free you!"

Emu said firmly.

"Good ambition! Then let's see if you can do it!"

Dark Beast's lips curled up, satisfied with Emu's answer. But his hands moved swiftly, Ghost Shift appearing behind Emu, Blood Evolution slashing down directly.

However, after being trained by Bancho Mamemon, Emu's physical abilities improved significantly, and his reactions and senses also became more acute.

Kamen Riders don't rely solely on their armor; the human host's physical abilities can either enhance or diminish their power.

In Ex-Aid, Hanae Taiga's body became exhausted from continuous battles, and he suffered a crushing defeat in the battle against Glappet, which led to the death of Kagami Hiiro's lover, Momose Kohime.

Of course, the way the Boss acted was also related to the side effects of the original Gacha, but it is undeniable that a human host with excellent physical qualities can better unleash the power of a Rider after transformation.

At this moment, Yongmeng was just like that. He keenly sensed the fluctuations behind him, and raised his golden cudgel behind him to block the attack of the dark beast.

When Dark Beast missed its first attack, it immediately used Ghost Shift again, arriving directly in front of Emu. Blood Evolution then slashed left and right, attacking Emu.

Yongmeng withdrew his golden cudgel and continued to parry the attacks of the dark beast. His current dynamic vision and reaction perception were sufficient to allow him to see the trajectory of the dark beast's attacks, making his defenses effortless.

However, Dark Beast was experienced and tried to steer Emu into its own rhythm during its attacks.

Having undergone these days of training, Emu wasn't so easily fooled and tried her best to break free from the Dark Beast's attack rhythm. However, this also prevented her from seizing any opportunities to counterattack.

After a series of rapid attacks, the Dark Beast used Ghost Shift to create distance, and said with some approval:

"It's definitely different now. Your strength, reaction time, and combat experience have all improved. It seems you haven't been slacking off."

"Of course, Master. Didn't I tell you? I will definitely defeat you today!"

"Hahaha! Alright, since that's the case, I'll show you the new form I recently acquired. Darkmon, transfer evolution—"

"Black Hawk Beast!!!"

Chapter 5, Black Hawk Beast

"Darkmon Transfer Evolution - Blackhawkmon!"

As the data stream dissipated, the Dark Beast revealed a new form: a gigantic, monstrous bird with red-glowing armor and black feathers on its wings.

This is Blackhawkmon, the beast-type dark warrior known as the "Corpse Devourer" because of his ferocious appearance and personality!

"How could this be?! Master, how did you obtain the Beast Warrior's Soul? Would Cherubimon give it to you?"
