Knights of the Digital World

"Silver Mirrormon, why is Seraphimon back? Did Darkmon lose? Should we retreat?"

"Shut up! Feel it for yourself, Darkmon's energy fluctuations haven't dissipated yet! There must be another enemy entangled with Darkmon. But don't worry, we all know Darkmon's strength, he'll definitely win in the end. Seraphimon was already badly injured before, he's nothing to fear. Our task now is still the same as before, just keep this Digimon occupied!"

“But…” Nanamon wanted to say something more, but Silver Mirrormon couldn’t hold back any longer. It pressed a hand on her head and said, word by word:

"Listen to me. Understand? I'll let you know when it's time to retreat!"

Nana Beast didn't dare to say anything more and quickly nodded.

The Flower Dragon Beast had already gotten up; the fall had really hurt him.

He shook his head, and suddenly his head smashed through the castle, swallowing more than ten large trees before finally retracting it.

After devouring the tree, the Flower Dragon Beast's injuries healed at a visible speed, its size increased significantly, and its strength improved.

The forest is the home ground of the Wood Warriors!

The actions of FlowerDragonmon made SilverMirrormon feel much more comfortable; they weren't entirely without a fighting chance. With FlowerDragonmon's help, they might even be able to win!

Silver Mirror Beast pulled Nana Beast onto Flower Dragon Beast's head and said:

"Flower Dragon Beast, attack! We'll fight alongside you. This time, we must kill her!"

"No problem!"

The Flower Dragon Beast had a deep voice and a blank expression, but it moved quickly and charged towards Parad.

Parad frowned slightly, feeling that the big guy seemed to have become stronger after sticking his head out for a while.

However, I am still stronger!

Parad also sprang into action, charging straight at the Flower Dragon Beast, his lotus root continuously igniting flames.

The Silver Mirror Beast dared not be careless and was constantly prepared to meet Parad's attack head-on. The "Irony Shield" on its arm flashed green, absorbing Parad's shot and reflecting it back:

"The Mirror of Generosity!!"

Chapter Nine, Parad VS Evil Warrior (Part 2)

The bullets fired during Parad's dash are not a skill.

Although the bullets possess considerable power thanks to her ultimate-level energy boost, they are still not powerful enough compared to her skills.

At least for the Silver Mirror Beast, the power of these bullets was well within its tolerance range.

Facing the ricocheting bullets, Palad dodged with a somersault, then raised one leg high and slashed down at the Silver Mirror Beast like a battle axe.

Having been trained by Bancho-Tottomon for so long, Parad's horizons have broadened considerably, and he has some guesses about Silver Mirrormon's weaknesses.

The ability of Silver Mirror Beast to deflect enemy attacks has limitations such as energy limit and number of deflections, but it can also be limited to energy attacks!

For damage that directly affects the body, such as physical attacks, very few skills can reflect it.

Even if it can be rebounded, the other party will inevitably suffer the same damage.

This can't even be called a rebound; it should be called a forced change of fate.

Parad didn't know if the Silver Mirror Beast's "Gentle Mirror" could only reflect energy attacks or even force a life-swapping, but she was prepared to give it a try.

No matter how amazing a character's combat power and abilities are during their mature stage, one fact remains undeniable: the higher the level, the more health they have and the faster they recover.

Parad guessed that Silver Mirror Beast didn't have the ability to forcibly exchange lives, and even if she was wrong, it didn't matter. With her Ultimate-level physique, exchanging blood with Silver Mirror Beast would only be a win for her.

If it's a win-win situation, then of course I should give it a try.

When the Silver Mirror Beast saw Palad so boldly about to deliver a kick, it immediately sensed something was wrong.

His "Shield of Irony" is indeed only effective against energy attacks. He can't do anything about physical attacks.

Having witnessed the immense force with which Parad had thrown Flower Dragonmon, Silver Mirrormon dared not take the hit head-on. It quickly removed the "Shield of Irony" from its left hand, reflecting its own body, and stepped into the mirror, disappearing from sight.

This is a unique skill of the Silver Mirror Beast, also known as "Irony Shield." It's a magical skill that allows the Silver Mirror Beast to see its own reflection in a mirror, then enter that mirror and disappear.

The Flower Dragon Beast curled its tongue and put the mirror left by the Silver Mirror Beast in its mouth, then quickly turned its head away.

Although his body was not very agile, his mind was not.

It is still quite flexible when moving around.

Parad's battle axe slashed down but missed its target, instead smashing into the ground and creating a large crater.

Parad scoffed in dissatisfaction and continued firing her gun. Now that the Silver Mirror Beast's counterattack was gone, she could unleash her full power.

The bullets, imbued with sentience, whistled towards the vital points of FlowerDragonmon and Nanamon.

The Flower Dragon Beast opened its mouth and spat out the Silver Mirror Beast's mirror to the side. The leaves around its head spun rapidly, releasing a whirlwind to block Parad's bullets.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Nanamon, perched atop the Flower Dragon Beast, also reached out and summoned moisture from the air, condensing it into water curtains to act as a barrier against the bullets.

This move isn't a skill; it's just Nanamon's ability as a water-type fighter.

Digimon have infinite possibilities, and their fighting style is definitely not limited to their own skills.

While Nanamon may lack raw strength, she excels at developing her abilities. This is why she can outmaneuver Grodonmon, the Earth Warrior.

The water curtain weakened the bullets, greatly reducing their power. Under the attack of the Flower Dragon Beast, the bullets lost all momentum and fell to the ground.

The Flower Dragon Beast slammed its fist on the ground again, and countless roots surged forth from the earth, heading straight for Palad:

"A myriad of thorns!"

Nanamon also exerted all her strength, summoning dark clouds throughout the castle. She controlled the torrential rain, confining it to a small area, and directed it towards Parad:

"Torrential rain is pouring down!"

Parad dared not be careless in the face of attacks erupting simultaneously from the sky and the ground.

As members of the Ten Warriors, FlowerDragonmon and Nunamon, even if their raw strength isn't quite there yet, receive a boost when using their signature abilities. These two moves are the result of their all-out effort and should not be underestimated.

Parad flicked his scarf, which expanded and transformed into an umbrella, shielding her head. Simultaneously, the knife attached to the lotus root sprang out, slashing at the underground roots under Parad's control.

"Double Claws!"

Parad's scarf, infused with energy, possessed considerable defensive capabilities. Even the rain summoned by Nanamon with all its might failed to break it, firmly protecting Parad.

Although the attacks of the Flower Dragon Beast were more ferocious, the roots could not escape being cut off by the sharp blades on the lotus root.

Just then, a figure appeared on the "Irony Shield" that had been thrown away by Flower Dragon Beast.

Silver Mirror Beast returned to the field, picked up the Irony Shield, put it on, and fired a green beam of light at Parad's back.

This is another application of the skill "Irony Shield," specifically used for attacking.

Palad sensed the energy fluctuations behind him, so he simply pulled back his scarf, jumped up, flipped in mid-air, and fired bullets randomly at the gun hidden in his heel.

"Hurricane-like barrage!"

The bullets, fired haphazardly, carried enormous amounts of energy. Whether it was roots on the ground, flowing water in the sky, or beams of light suddenly attacking from behind, they were all repelled and dispersed by these bullets.

There were also some bullets, shot at just the right angle, heading straight for the three evil fighters, scaring them into dodging repeatedly.

Having broken through their offensive, Palad gained the upper hand and began to press his advantage relentlessly. Holding lotus roots, he fired wildly, constantly closing in on the evil warriors, completely disregarding the consequences of being a ranged attacker being taken into melee.

However, after witnessing Parad's power, the evil warriors had no intention of engaging Parad in close combat.

Even if their ranged and melee combat abilities are weak, that's only relative to those of the same level! But for them, that immense strength is simply unstoppable!

Not to mention, after seeing Parad cut down roots with a gun, they would no longer be foolish enough to think that Parad was incapable of close combat.

Therefore, the evil warriors were fleeing in all directions, having no intention of being approached by Parad.

"Silver Mirror Beast! Think of something quick! We can't hold out like this!"

Nanamon no longer dared to stay with Flowerdramon. Flowerdramon's enormous body was perfect as a target; more than half of the shots were fired at him. The rest were randomly assigned between Nanamon and Silver Mirrormon.

Nanamon, perched atop Flowerdramon's head, was caught in the crossfire without realizing it.

On one occasion, Floramon skillfully dodged Parad's bullet, but the bullet flew past Nanamon. Nanamon could even feel the airflow created by the bullet as it passed.

After that, Nanamon ran away from Flowerdramon. She was lucky this time she wasn't hit, but who knows what might happen next time.

Silver Mirror Beast remained silent for a long time after hearing Nanamon's shout.

Even the best plan needs sufficient strength to execute. Now, this situation—where the children are simply outmatched in strength and can only serve as a threat—has been met with a curt reply:

"Keep waiting! We must believe in the Dark Beast!"

Nanamon was moved to tears.

She had never missed anyone as much as she did now, especially the Dark Beast, that madman who radiated dark energy and had an icy demeanor.

But now, Nanamon is screaming wildly in its heart:

"Dark Beast, come quick!!!"

Chapter Ten, Repelling the Enemy, Reuniting

"This older sister is amazing! She's completely dominating Silver Mirrormon and the others. Do you know who she is, Ultimate Seraphimon?"

The children watching from the sidelines were amazed and full of questions by Pallad's fierce performance.

They don't seem to recognize this amazing young lady.

UltimateAngemon introduced:

"This is Belstarmon, and her name is Parad. She is the partner you mentioned before, Emu Hojo's partner."

"Emiya?!"

Seraphimon's words immediately captured the children's attention, and they even forgot about the battle.

Kouichi walked directly up to Seraphimon and asked urgently:

"Ultimate Seraphimon, you mean Emu? Is he alright?"

Takuya scratched his head and asked:

"Ultimate Seraphimon, are you sure you're not mistaken? Emu was captured by Darkmon, so how did he suddenly have this new partner?"

UltimateAngemon shook his head slightly and said:

"He introduced himself as Emu Hojo, and he looks like a humanoid Digimon with big pink eyes and a strange hairstyle. He looks a lot like the one you described before, so I shouldn't be mistaken."

"It really is Emu, isn't it? This is definitely Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!"

The children exchanged glances and nodded, confirming the authenticity of Emu.
