Knights of the Digital World

Finally, there's Parad. After a few days of acting spoiled, Parad rallied and began training diligently. However, the barrier between a Strong Ultimate and a Top Ultimate isn't so easy to overcome.

Even a Digimon like Parad, with the potential to reach the highest Ultimate level, needs a long period of accumulation. The training and battles of the past few days have only raised Parad's level by two. Parad's current strength is level 90. There's still a long way to go before reaching the highest Ultimate level.

…………

On this day, Takuya and Kouji evolved into KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon as usual, and were about to spar when they suddenly sensed two familiar auras. Their expressions changed instantly, and they shouted:

"Everyone, hide! The Royal Knights are coming!"

Everyone had already prepared for the possibility of the Royal Knights attack, and upon hearing the news, they immediately hid in the houses in the Steel Zone.

The children didn't dare hide too high, as tall buildings were easily affected by the fighting. It was too easy for them to be accidentally injured.

Seeing that the children were all hidden, Takuya and Kouji relaxed a lot. At that moment, Emu had also completed his transformation and came to their side.

Emu's current appearance is very similar to KaiserGreymon. His overall color has turned orange-red, and his joints and vital areas are covered with armor of the same style as KaiserGreymon's. He also carries a Dragon Soul Sword on his back.

This is Ex-Aid, Level 99, Tyrannosaurus Action Player Mode!

"Emu, you're ready too. Let's go! This time, we won't lose again!"

KaiserGreymon clenched his fist and drew his Dragon Soul Sword with a backhand motion. The training he had received these past few days had greatly boosted his confidence.

"We still need to be careful," MagnaGarurumon reminded him. That's just how calm and rational Kouji is.

"No matter what, let's fight first. Let's see if our strength has improved!" Yongmeng said.

KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon nodded, and the three of them took to the air together to meet the Royal Knights flying towards them:

"Royal Knights, take this!"

Chapter 56, Another Battle Against the Royal Cavalry

"Huh? Monarch Beasts, aren't those the defeated opponents from last time? They're still alive."

Lord Knight Beast recognized Emu and the others as they took to the air and laughed mockingly.

"Yes, it's them. But one of them is a bit different. He's lost his wings and his color has changed. I just don't know how strong he is."

The Monarch Beast examined it carefully and then spoke.

Seeing that Emu and his companions were flying towards them, the two Royal Knights simply stopped in the air, waiting for them while commenting:

"Actually, those two are pretty good. To be honest, they hurt me a bit. But they're too inexperienced and don't know their own abilities at all. In terms of potential, I don't think they're much worse than us."

"Really? I can understand that. After all, they are the successors of the Ten Warriors. You remember how strong those guys were, right?"

"Hmph, they are the embodiment of attributes, and the Digital World favors them. Otherwise, we can't seal Lucemon-sama."

"Lord Lucemon is truly the world's favorite. Forget about the Ten Warriors. Look at that kid whose appearance has changed; his aura has become much stronger."

"Hmph, can they be stronger than us? How about it, LordKnightmon, let's bet again on who wins first?"

"There are three on the other side, how are we going to divide them up?"

"Let's make a bet and see who can take down more!"

As the Royal Knights made their bet, Emu and his two companions charged forward, their roars clearly audible:

"Royal Knights, take this!"

"Destroy the machine gun!"

MagnaGarurumon fired first, its full armament locking onto LordKnightmon, and then unleashed a barrage of missiles at him.

In previous battles, the two Royal Knights had already demonstrated their advantages. Lordmon possessed outstanding strength and defense, rendering MagnaGarurumon's attacks ineffective. LordKnightmon, on the other hand, boasted astonishing speed, barely allowing his special attack to touch him.

MagnaGarurumon itself is a speed-type Digimon, and it knows that this type of Digimon generally has relatively weak defense. Therefore, it did not hesitate to choose LordKnightmon as its opponent this time.

Lordmon and LordKnightmon were originally together. However, upon seeing the oncoming barrage of fire, LordKnightmon immediately displayed its ghostly speed, constantly dodging MagnaGarurumon's attacks.

Monarchmon also retreated and charged towards KaiserGreymon and Emu.

They were betting on who could defeat more people. Now that Lord Knightmon was tied up, he wasn't going to hold back!

"Dragon's Roar!"

Monarchmon stretched out his hands, gathering energy in them, and fired it in a spherical shape at KaiserGreymon and Emu. It was supposed to be an energy blast, but it felt like a machine gun.

Facing the attacks of Lordmon, Emu wielded the Dragon Soul Sword, standing at the forefront. Blazing flames covered the surface of the Dragon Soul Sword, within which the fiery red DigiSoul could be faintly seen. Relying on the combined power of the two, Emu easily cleaved through the energy blasts.

Behind Emu, KaiserGreymon plunged the Dragon Soul Sword into the void. Roaring flames spread outwards from the Dragon Soul Sword, awakening the nine-headed dragon residing within the Flame Armor, which charged towards Lordmon.

"Nine-Headed Dragon Formation!"

"Hmph, you never learn. That move is useless against me! Dragon's Breath!"

Monarchmon roared, dragon-shaped energy rising from its body, clashing and battling with the charging Flame Hydra. Meanwhile, it gripped the Dragon Soul Sword that KaiserGreymon was slashing at it with its right hand, its dragon wings spread wide, surging with energy to counteract the impact.

"Gale Flame!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yongmeng leaned forward, transforming into a bolt of lightning and rushing into the Lord Beast's embrace. The surface of the Dragon Soul Sword was burning with flames as it stabbed towards the Lord Beast.

Despite being startled, the Monarch Beast remained calm, gathering energy in its left elbow and slamming it down, forcing Emu to abandon its attack.

Yongmeng gritted his teeth, raised his left hand, and desperately blocked the Monarch Beast's elbow strike. With a powerful thrust of his right hand, he plunged the Dragon Soul Sword into the Monarch Beast's abdomen.

Monarchmon launched two powerful kicks, sending KaiserGreymon and Emu flying. His expression turned grim. He had been somewhat careless, not expecting his opponents to be so determined, willing to risk injury to stab him.

Both sides were protected by sturdy armor, but the opponent attacked with a sharp weapon, while they attacked with a blunt weapon. Even with the armor's enhancement, it couldn't match the destructive power of the weapon.

Moreover, there are two people on the other side!

He lost out big time by changing his injury!

"Heh, Monarch Beast, you're really in a sorry state."

At this moment, MagnaGarurumon, still armed, hadn't yet reached its maximum speed, and its missiles weren't exhausted. Faced with this ferocious barrage, LordKnightmon had no choice but to dodge.

Unlike Lordmon, who is tough and can withstand attacks, LordKnightmon would be severely injured if it tried to take a direct hit. Even if it won, it would only be a Pyrrhic victory.

He sought a beautiful victory, not a Pyrrhic one that was neither impressive nor efficient.

However, given LordKnightmon's current speed, he had time to keep an eye on LordMon's situation while dodging the cannonballs. Just then, he saw LordMon get stabbed and couldn't help but laugh.

Monarchmon's expression darkened further. He and LordKnightmon were longtime friends, and he was even more unwilling to embarrass himself in front of him, otherwise he would definitely be ridiculed by LordKnightmon afterwards.

LordKnightmon was already laughing, which further enraged LordMon. A scorching heat, comparable to the sun, rose from his body and slammed directly into Emu and his companion.

"Dragon Collider!!!"

Both Emu and KaiserGreymon could sense the violent energy within. Emu even knew that, according to the official description in his previous life, Lordmon's attack was said to be an ultimate move with a temperature comparable to the core of a star, incapable of surviving any life!

Even if you just listen to a few descriptions of Digimon moves and don't take them too seriously, you can't deny how powerful this move is!

Emu and KaiserGreymon didn't need to communicate at all; they simultaneously unleashed an energy blast at each other, sending them flying to opposite sides.

Just so I can dodge faster!

Even so, Emu and KaiserGreymon were still affected by the aftereffects of the Dragon Collider. As inheritors of the power of fire-type warriors, their bodies were covered with charred marks from the flames.

More clearly, Emu's Rider Gauge was reduced to one-third. This demonstrates just how incredibly powerful Lordmon's attack was.

After all, what affected them was only the aftermath!

If they were truly at the center of the Dragon Collider's attack, perhaps they really wouldn't survive, just as the skill description stated.

Chapter 57, Repelling

The "Dragon Collider" is Monarchmon's strongest weapon, and behind its exaggerated power lies the exploitation of Monarchmon itself.

After using this move, Monarch Beast will also enter a weakened state, making it difficult to continue high-intensity battles.

Of course, once a Monarch Beast uses this move, no opponent will survive, so there's no need to consider continuing the fight.

The Monarch Beast's limbs were now somewhat weak, and he drooped naturally due to gravity, basically relying only on the dragon wings on his back to keep him afloat.

He was panting, but his sharp eyes remained fixed on Emu and KaiserGreymon. He would react immediately if they made any move.

However, Emu and KaiserGreymon weren't in good shape either. The power of the Dragon Collider was too great, too exaggerated. They were now on par with Lordmon.

Moreover, they only knew that they were badly injured, but they were unaware of the current condition of the Monarch Beast. Even if they guessed that the Monarch Beast was not in good condition, they dared not try.

This isn't a game; it even has resurrection. Given the Royal Knights' penchant for scanning even human digital codes, a failed gamble means real death!

With their deaths, it goes without saying that the remaining children and Digimon will perish. The Digital World will be finished, and the human world will not escape its fate either.

It can be said that they now bear not only their own destiny, but also the destiny of two worlds, and the destinies of countless people and Digimon!

This heavy burden made Yongmeng and his companions prefer to miss opportunities rather than take unnecessary risks.

With both sides wary of each other, the battle here entered a strange stalemate. Both sides were on high alert, while trying to recover quickly.

Meanwhile, MagnaGarurumon finally emptied its weapons.

The moment he cleared the enemy's firepower, he removed his armor, which increased his speed as he charged towards LordKnightmon. He raised his left hand and swiftly slashed at LordKnightmon:

"Brilliant Blade!"

MagnaGarurumon can reach speeds up to the speed of light. In terms of pure speed, it even surpasses LordKnightmon. Faced with its full-force attack, LordKnightmon has no room to dodge.

But LordKnightmon didn't need to dodge. He raised his right hand, and "Impact Cone" blocked MagnaGarurumon's hand blade, sending sparks flying.

Four bladed swords extended from LordKnightmon's armor, twisting and slicing towards MagnaGarurumon.

But MagnaGarurumon was exceptionally agile; missing its attack, it immediately retreated. With its near-light-speed movement, Blade couldn't catch it at all.

In fact, MagnaGarurumon's current battle tactics are greatly influenced by LordKnightmon.

During his conversation with Emu, Kouji discovered that LordKnightmon's battle tactics utilized its speed advantage. By relying on its high speed and mobility, it evaded attacks from a large number of enemies and delivered a fatal blow when the enemies could not react in time.

Like an assassin, seizing the opportunity to strike and kill.

MagnaGarurumon and LordKnightmon are both top-tier Ultimate-level speed-type monsters, so this battle tactic could be perfectly replicated. Kouji did indeed put in a lot of effort to research it.

It seems to be working well.

Lord Knightmon never imagined that one day he would face the very combat tactics he was best at.

It was only after truly facing it that Lord Knight Beast realized how disgusting his battle tactics were.

If you try to attack the opponent, but they are faster than you, you won't be able to hit them. Even if you don't attack, you still need to be vigilant at all times, otherwise the opponent will take advantage of your momentary lapse in attention to launch a counterattack.

This forced mental concentration was extremely taxing on their energy. Before long, Lord Knight Beast began to feel fatigued.

Of course, since LordKnightmon fights in the same way, MagnaGarurumon's condition is similar to LordKnightmon's, and he is even more tired due to tension and other factors.

Just then, the other side temporarily ceased fighting, and LordKnightmon and MagnaGarurumon reached a tacit agreement to stop fighting and fly to their respective partners.
