Knights of the Digital World

"Ugh!"

The fire dragon beast let out a miserable cry, and a ring of data streams appeared around its body, with the warrior souls of two fire-type warriors and more than ten beast warrior souls floating within it—

This is the digital code for Firedramon!

"Hmph, take my things back first."

Cherubimon sneered as it captured the warrior souls of more than a dozen beasts.

"And then, the harvest."

Cherubimon put away the Steel Warrior Soul, then reached out and grasped the Warrior Soul of Flamedramon, pulling it out forcefully.

"Goodbye! Warrior of Flame!"

Cherubimon reached out again, grabbing at Valkyrie's Fighter Soul.

"Stop!!"

Several shouts rang out in unison, and a huge battle axe rolled and slashed at the Cherubim's hand.

Cherubimon frowned, dodged the battle axe, and then casually slapped away all the energy attacks that came with the axe, saying impatiently:

"Who's here looking for death again?!"

The battle axe arced through the air before landing back in the large, white-furred hand. The Bassar Beast gripped its weapon tightly, exhaling two puffs of white breath from its nostrils, and roared angrily:

"You ugly monster! Stay away from Takuya-nii!"

Cherubimon's face darkened, but he quickly smiled again and pointed at them one by one:

"Barzamon, the Ice Warrior; Shuzmon, the Wind Warrior; Raijinmon, the Thunder Warrior; KaiserLeomon, the Dark Warrior. Hmm, I haven't seen this one before. But this feeling... I can't be wrong, you're a Light Warrior, right? Heh, like the Flame Warriors, you've developed a new form?"

"Very good, very good! I was planning to deal with the Flame Warriors before coming to find you. I didn't expect you to deliver yourselves to my doorstep, saving me a lot of trouble! Hahahaha, hand over the Warrior Souls!"

Cherubimon laughed wildly and raised his hands. As he moved, lightning bolts exploded from the dark clouds and struck the children.

"Shuzmon, go and take Takuya with you! We'll hold them off here for now."

The War Wolf Beast gave a low command, raised the "Trinity" greatsword, gathered energy on the sword, and unleashed a dazzling white sword aura that sliced ​​through the falling lightning and carved out a space.

Shuzmon nodded without saying a word, silently manipulating the wind around him as he moved silently toward Takuya.

"Leave the lightning to me!"

As a warrior of lightning, Thunderlight Beast naturally took the lead, raising its head high, its single horn attracting lightning from all directions.

However, Thundermon was far too weak compared to Cherubimon. Even though he was a warrior of lightning, there was a limit to his ability to absorb lightning. But this sky full of lightning seemed to have no limit.

After attracting attention for a while, the Thunder Beast reached its limit, letting out a low groan, but still gritting its teeth and persevering.

"No need to force yourself."

KaiserLeomon realized that Thundermon was not in a good condition, so it quickly spat out several energy blasts to temporarily block the lightning and used its claws to pull Thundermon backward.

The Thunder Beast looked exhausted and regressed into its original form, plopping down on the ground with a guilty expression.

"I'm sorry, I'm too weak."

"Brother Chunping, you have done very well."

The Beast Basa reached out and slapped the ground, and several more ice walls rose up as a barrier.

They had been doing this all along, trying to alleviate the pressure on the Thunderlight Beast. However, the continuous lightning strikes were too dense and too powerful. Relying on ice walls and physical attacks for resistance was extremely ineffective. They mainly had to rely on the Thunderlight Beast's abilities. This is why the Thunderlight Beast was under so much pressure and couldn't hold on for long.

Now, without Thundermon's power, the remaining children are under even greater pressure. Warwomon focused all its strength on defense, gritting its teeth and desperately swinging "Trinity," not even wanting to waste the energy to speak.

"Oh, and there's a little bug too."

Cherubimon watched with admiration as the children struggled in the lightning, when suddenly he noticed something darting past below.

He looked down and saw that Shuzmon was carrying the Firedramon, whose body was still filled with data streams, and flying rapidly toward the children.

The Cherubimon bared its teeth, revealing a sinister smile. With a flick of its finger, a dark cloud locked onto the top of the Shuzmon, and bolts of lightning fell downwards.

The Shuz Beast realized it had been discovered and stopped trying to hide. It flapped its wings wildly, unleashing its maximum speed. Even the dark clouds above its head couldn't keep up for a moment.

Cherubimon raised an eyebrow and controlled several more dark clouds to chase after it, continuously unleashing lightning strikes at Shuzmon.

Even under these circumstances, Shuzmon could not completely dodge and could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Finally, the dark clouds summoned by Cherubimon ran out of energy and slowly dissipated.

Shuzmon, carrying Takuya who had regressed to human form, landed behind Warwomon, gently put Takuya down, and knelt on the ground. He was then enveloped by a stream of data and regressed back to Koizumi.

Bassamon roared and hurled its battle axe at Cherubimon, then collapsed to its knees, hands on the ground, panting heavily as it reverted to Tomoki. Its battle axe shattered into data mid-air.

Only the brothers, Kouichi and Kouji, were still barely able to maintain their Digimon forms. However, they were both trembling all over, their fighting power reduced to nothing, and they were only barely holding on.

"Damn it...who told you to come back..."

Takuya, lying on the ground, slightly opened his eyes and growled angrily and hoarsely.

"Takuya...we can't just watch something happen to you."

Koizumi reached out and took Takuya's hand, calmly saying:

“We’re a team, adventuring together in this world. There’s no reason for me to watch you face danger alone. I believe that if the rest of us stay behind, you will come too.”

"..."

Takuya closed his eyes and remained silent.

"..."

The War Wolf Beast remained silent, only gripping his greatsword tightly and taking two steps forward, prepared to sacrifice himself.

"Don't rush. Emu has left me with a trump card, but... I don't know if she can withstand it."

The data stream on KaiserLeomon flashed by, and it transformed into BlackLeomon, reaching out to grab WarWolfmon's shoulder.

The children looked at the black lion beast with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

BlackLeomon took a deep breath, pulled out the fifth Digivice, and whispered:

"Please, Parad. Belstarmon, materialize!"

A stream of data shot out from the Digivice, forming a curvaceous and sexy body from bottom to top. Parad, who had distinguished himself in the battle at Seraphimon's castle, reappeared before the children.

"You guys are really giving me trouble. I might not be a match for this guy either."

Upon manifesting, Parad sighed. She knew what had happened inside the Digimon. Her power also made her understand even more how terrifying Cherubimon was.

"However, I quite like your approach. Leave the rest to me!"

Chapter Thirty-Three: A Battle to the Death

Before heading to Rose Star Castle, Emu had already given it a lot of thought. He combined the information he had with a comprehensive plan and made many preparations.

One of his preparations was the Miracle Light of Seraphimon stored in the children's Digivice.

Parad, on the other hand, was another preparation of his.

To be honest, Emu wasn't too worried about the dozen beasts.

Although he seemed incredibly powerful—mastering ten attributes and even achieving immunity and doubling his counterattacks after collecting and analyzing the children's data—he was still defeated in the original story despite the children's combined efforts.

Today's children are stronger than those in the original story; they know more information and are better prepared, so they have even less reason to fail.

However, Emu was still afraid that she might have overlooked something or not thought things through, and worried that something unexpected might happen.

He didn't consider himself a genius like Zhuge Liang; he was just an ordinary person with an intelligence advantage and relatively clear logic.

He couldn't guarantee that he could be completely foolproof.

Unfortunately, his plan involved the safety of the children, which increased his pressure even more.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Emu made an extra preparation—to have Parad as a backup plan to protect the children.

Parad has an advantage: she can enter the Digivice that Emu brought from the fifth world. This effectively conceals Parad's whereabouts and makes it easier for her to follow him.

If anything unexpected happens, Parad's current level 60 strength, which is equivalent to a powerful ultimate form, is more than enough to handle it.

At worst, we can wait for reinforcements.

That's how it is now.

"You get down here right now!"

Parad leaped into the air, raising one leg high and slashing at the Cherubim like a battle axe.

Cherubim sneered, without answering, and grabbed Parad's calf, spun him around a few times, and slammed him to the ground.

Parad landed with a thud, kicking up several layers of dust, obscuring the scene.

The next moment, two bullets shot out from the dust. Parad raised his two guns, leaped up from the dust, and opened fire on the Cherubim.

Cherubimon raised his right hand, and a layer of lightning appeared in front of him, blocking Parad's bullet. He then leaned forward and flew towards Parad's location, clenching his left fist and slamming it down from the sky.

Parad threw his gun into the air and fearlessly met the attack of the Cherubimon, engaging in close combat with it.

On her limbs and torso, faint purple data could be seen shimmering. This was Parad's digital soul.

Strengthening the body and increasing combat power with digital souls is Bancho Mamemon's signature ability. As his disciple, Parad naturally knows this technique as well.

"Wow, that's amazing! Parad is just as good as Cherubimon."

Yuuki exclaimed in surprise as he watched the two still colliding.

"No, Parad is at a disadvantage. The Cherubim is clearly more proactive and unrestrained. No, I have to go help her!"

The War Wolf Beast was also intently observing the battlefield. His current form allowed him to see more details.

"You're not in the right state right now. You should leave it to me."

BlackLionmon stopped Wolfmon once again, took out his Digivice, pressed a button, and a golden light shone on him—

Miracle Light!

When Seraphimon was still an egg, it shone with the light of miracles twice, creating Firedramon and Warwomon.

Seraphimon is currently still in its Ultimate form, but its strength is still recovering, so it can naturally unleash more Miracle Light.

Each child has one.

However, more than that won't do. That would interfere with Seraphimon's recovery.

Upon seeing the familiar and dazzling golden light, the War Wolf Beast remembered that this thing existed. Immediately, he looked at the Black Lion Beast with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
