Knights of the Digital World

"It seems that Emu has escaped from the Dark Beasts. And she has found such a strong partner as Parad. This is really great."

The children relaxed and were all happy for Yongmeng.

Huiyi's gloom dissipated considerably because of this good news. He was genuinely happy for his friend.

Seraphimon watched the children's joyful expressions, hesitant to speak. Emu's words revealed that his master-disciple relationship with Darkmon still bothered him somewhat.

However, he was not clear about the details of the matter, so he decided not to express his opinions rashly, lest he create a preconceived notion among the children and cause rifts between them.

Let the children talk about it themselves after the war!

After learning about Parad's identity, the children's affection for this strong and beautiful young lady skyrocketed, and they turned into cheerleaders, cheering her on wildly.

Bogomon and Questionmon even pulled out pom-poms, the kind used by cheerleaders, from their pockets and waved them around with great enthusiasm, looking very professional.

Parad didn't know what had gotten into the children, but they suddenly started cheering her on wildly, changing the atmosphere of the battlefield.

But she seemed to enjoy it, waving to the children during breaks in the fight to show that she had their support, which made her even more enthusiastic about beating up the evil fighter.

The evil warriors were furious, their faces turning green. Being beaten was bad enough, but to be mocked was even worse.

To the evil warriors, those cheers and encouragements were nothing but merciless mockery.

I have suffered severe trauma, both physically and psychologically.

Nanamon couldn't take it anymore and shouted:

"Silver Mirror Beast! I can't hold on much longer! If the Dark Beast doesn't come soon, let's retreat! Otherwise, we'll all die here."

The Sacred Tree Beast, which had already been transferred and evolved back, also agreed:

"I think it's reliable."

The Sacred Tree Beast had taken the worst beating. The Flower Dragon Beast was too large and not very agile. It was really difficult to dodge Parad's bullets inside the castle.

Before being beaten to the point of being unable to take care of itself, Flower Dragon Beast realized something and quickly evolved into Sacred Tree Beast in order to avoid more attacks.

It was precisely because they lost such a large target that the pressure on Nanamon and Silver Mirrormon increased dramatically. That's why Nanamon cried out that she couldn't hold on any longer.

Silver Mirrormon was very annoyed. Today's surprise attack was something he had carefully planned, and at the very least, he should have taken down Seraphimon's name.

Unexpectedly, a series of unexpected events occurred. This mysterious Digimon appeared out of nowhere, and there seemed to be another one outside entangled with Darkmon. Darkmon hadn't defeated its opponent after so long, indicating that the opponent was also quite powerful.

Silver Mirror Beast knew that not long ago, Cherubimon bestowed the Warrior Soul of Blackhawkmon upon Darkmon.

The Dark Beast is now stronger than before!

It was precisely because of its trust in Darkmon's strength that Silver Mirrormon repeatedly urged Nanamon to hold on and wait for Darkmon's support.

But even this dark beast hadn't defeated its opponent. On the contrary, their own side was on the verge of collapse.

The Silver Mirror Beast finally began to consider whether to retreat.

Thinking about it carefully, retreating now doesn't seem like such a bad deal.

Seraphimon's old injuries hadn't healed yet, and this sneak attack only worsened them. It would take a long time for him to recover his full Ultimate-level strength, and he would pose no threat to Cherubimon-sama.

It's a bit of a shame that the children weren't eliminated.

However, the opponent has revealed a new power, and most of the information about this mysterious Digimon has already been gathered during the battle. The situation with the mysterious Digimon outside that is holding back Darkmon is unknown, but relevant information should be obtainable from Darkmon.

With intelligence on these two new forces, we can devise a plan to target them next time!

Moreover, he still has one trump card up his sleeve. That is his beast-type fighter form, "Ten Beasts".

However, the characteristic of the Ten Beasts is precise calculation; if an action is taken that is outside their calculations, they become very vulnerable.

Calculations require intelligence. Silver Mirror Beast would never be willing to use this trump card until it has gathered enough intelligence.

Just as the Silver Mirror Beast was weighing the pros and cons and considering whether to retreat, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly erupted outside the castle.

The castle, already ravaged by fierce fighting, teetered on the brink of collapse under the energy shock, further highlighting the intensity of the battle outside.

Silver Mirror Beast's heart skipped a beat; he suddenly couldn't detect the Dark Beast's presence anymore!

This means that the Dark Beast is dead!

Silver Mirror Beast couldn't believe that Dark Beast, the powerhouse among the evil warriors, had been defeated!

What's the point of them stalling for time here?!

The Silver Mirror Beast, its belly full of energy, didn't wait for Nanamon to urge it further and roared loudly:

"Retreat! Retreat!! Retreat!!! Let's get out of here!!!"

Parad also sensed the energy fluctuations outside the castle and felt Yongmeng's still powerful aura, which made him even more excited. He fired wildly with Lotus Root, trying to stop the evil warrior from retreating.

However, the evil warriors, as minions under Cherubimon's command, have dominated the Digital World for many years, and their teamwork is quite excellent, to say the least.

The Sacred Tree Beast transformed into Flower Dragon Beast, using its massive body as a shield to block Parad's attack, refusing to budge even as it howled in pain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nanamon summoned water vapor, which transformed into a water mirror.

Silver Mirror Beast empowered the water mirror with its own energy, granting it a brief period of Steel-type power. With one hand holding Nanamon and the other pulling on Flowerdramon's tail, it dragged them into the mirror.

The shield of irony!

Parad was helpless against this; the Silver Mirror Beast's skill was too unpredictable. She could only try her best to deal damage before it escaped.

The Wood Warrior will probably need to rest for a long time.

At that moment, a figure emerged from the broken walls of the castle, carrying something in his arms, and said with a light laugh:

"Everyone, it's been a long time!"

A halo of light shone, revealing the face of the newcomer—it was Eternal Dream, who had broken free of his transformation!

Old friends, reunited once again!

Chapter 11, Emu's Gift

"Emu! It's been a long time!!"

The children saw their long-lost friend and jumped up, running towards him.

Speaking of which, the physical abilities of the children in the Digital World are truly outrageous. They were so badly injured just now, and after sitting in the corner for a while, they're already running and jumping again.

"Emu, how are you doing?"

"How did you escape from the Dark Beast?"

"Brother Yongmeng, we miss you so much!"

"Emu, I've become a hero now too!"

"Emiya..."

The children surrounded Yongmeng, asking questions all at once. Their voices mingled together, creating a noisy cacophony.

Emu smiled slightly, enjoying the feeling of being cared for by her friends, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry. Let me tell you my experience."

The children quieted down and listened to Yongmeng recount his experience after being taken away by the Dark Beast.

Emu's description was not very detailed. He spent most of his time training under the Dark Beast, so there wasn't much to say. After arriving in the other world, apart from the Kurata capture operation and the Battle of Bean Gate Town, Emu mostly spent his time slacking off or training. In Emu's opinion, it was equally boring and tedious.

However, the children didn't see it that way. Emu's words painted a whole new world for them. They would marvel at the DATs, envy the adults who had Digimon partners, and be outraged by Kurata's actions.

Even when Emu recounted his battle with the Dark Beast, the children held their breath.

They saw another side of the Dark Beast in Emu's description, and their previous hatred for the Dark Beast turned into sympathy for him.

Only after Emu finished recounting the battle between master and disciple did the children finally breathe a sigh of relief, their spirits somewhat low.

"I never imagined the Dark Beast was so pitiful... It's such a pity he died..."

Emu nodded and said:

“For Master, death is liberation. Moreover, Master is not completely dead; his life continues.”

As he spoke, Emu put down what he had been holding. Only then did the children realize that it was a digital egg.

"Could this be a Dark Beast egg?"

The children gathered around, curiously examining the egg.

"Yes. As long as this egg exists, Master's life is not over."

Emu replied.

"I'll talk! We need to hatch this egg, right? How about I take care of it? I don't know why, but whenever I see an egg, I really want to hatch it!"

Bogomon raised its hand high and said excitedly.

Seeing Bokomon's enthusiasm, Emu immediately thought of Patamon, whom Bokomon had hatched and raised from the original story. The image of Patamon wearing the same baggy shorts as Bokomon sent a chill down Emu's spine.

Although his master would lose his memories after turning into a Digi-Egg, he might not care too much about that, but as a disciple, he absolutely could not accept his master wearing the same baggy shorts as Bokomon!

never!

Emu quickly reached out and picked up the Digi-Egg, saying:

"No need, no need, Bogomon, thank you for your kindness. I'll take care of this egg; after all, it's my master."

"Well... okay then... to be honest, I really think I'll be a good dad!"

Bogomon was very disappointed, but he also knew that this was a sign that Emu valued his master, so he could only regretfully give up.

At this moment, the Question-and-Answer Beast, which had been squinting its eyes as if asleep, suddenly uttered a sentence:

"Why not be a good mother?"

Bogomon was stunned, its face turning red with anger, and it roared as it tried to flick Questionmon's belt:

"I'm a man! Of course I'm the dad! Are you looking down on me? I'll flick you!"

The children swarmed forward skillfully, pulling at the Pogomon and repeatedly trying to dissuade it:

"Pogomon, forget it."

"No way! Bogomon wouldn't go that far!"

This lively scene was exactly the same as what Emu remembered.

Emu watched this scene with a smile, then suddenly noticed that Kiichi was standing to the side, not participating. She raised an eyebrow, walked over to Kiichi, and asked:

"Huiyi, what's wrong? Why are you just watching?"
