Knights of the Digital World

Emu's words left Seraphimon and Angewomon speechless. They knew all too well how terrifying Lucemon's power was; the Ten Warriors had paid a heavy price to defeat and seal him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have vanished without leaving behind their warrior spirits. It was nothing like Emu's nonchalant assessment.

However, Emu's words did indeed boost the children's morale.

Having traveled in the Digital World for so long, they've long since come to regard it as their second home. In the original story, Takuya even said this himself.

Because they value the Digital World, they have been fighting desperately to stop the Royal Knights from seizing data and to reduce the damage to the Digital World.

As the mastermind behind the destruction of the Digital World, Lucemon, whose power is terrifying in legend, has always been the most feared and imagined enemy of the children.

They feared they wouldn't be a match for Lucemon, and that they wouldn't be able to protect the Digital World.

However, after hearing Emu's words, they felt that they made a lot of sense. The previous Ten Warriors were able to defeat the sealed Lucemon, so there was no reason why they, who had continued the power of the Ten Warriors, could not do the same.

Even if the process is difficult and tortuous, as long as there is hope, the children will not be afraid, but will work hard and move firmly toward their goal.

With their biggest worry gone, morale naturally soared.

Upon witnessing this, the two archangels silently fell silent. There was no need to emphasize Lucemon's power at this moment and damage morale.

There are plenty of opportunities to offer reminders. Those who insist on dampening morale when it's at its peak are mostly incompetent teammates.

Regardless of their strength, the two archangels are at least never bad teammates.

“Alright, this is my palace, so let me entertain everyone. Neferpitoumon, could you please make some tea for everyone and prepare some snacks?” Angewomon said with a smile.

Neferpitoumon is the guardian of the palace and the key to the data of this area. After Angewomon returned to the palace, it silently followed by her side.

Upon hearing the order, she immediately nodded, quietly left, and went to prepare according to Angewomon's request.

With their worries resolved, smiles returned to the children's faces as they were led by Angewomon to the main hall to await the arrival of tea.

Angewomon explained, "My palace contains a vast collection of books, where most of the secrets of the Digital World can be found. You are welcome to browse them if you are interested. They are also great as storybooks."

"Um, are we being too relaxed like this? It doesn't seem very formal..." Hui raised his hand and waved it, looking a little uneasy.

UltimateAngemon laughed and said, "There's no need to worry about those details. You've been tense for too long, and you need to relax so you can fight in better condition. Don't think too much, just enjoy yourself!"

UltimateAngemon silently finished the sentence he hadn't uttered aloud: "After all, this might not be another chance..."

Chapter Sixty, The Final Battle

"Is this the place ahead, LordKnightmon?"

The monarch beast looked at the castle not far away with a mixture of fatigue and excitement, and asked.

The castle belonged to Angewomon and looked like a house from a fairy tale. It was surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, and in the middle of the flowers stood the tall castle. The castle consisted of more than ten small buildings, each of which looked like a column of varying lengths, with a roof that resembled a cone.

This castle is the last remaining data in the Digital World. Around it, only scattered broken stones float, and railway tracks stretch haphazardly through the air.

The digital world has been hollowed out.

"Yes, this is the last one. Once we absorb the data here, Lord Lucemon can be resurrected."

LordKnightmon stared at the area, his emotions unreadable, and answered in a low voice.

"Alright, then what are we waiting for! Let's go get the data!" Monarch Beast exclaimed excitedly. "You've always prevented me from fighting human children head-on. Now, this is the final battle, you won't stop me, will you?"

LordKnightmon gave a wry smile and said, "LordMon, haven't you realized it yet? Those brats are getting harder and harder to deal with. Now, we might not even be a match for them."

“How could that be? It’s just a human child.” Monarchmon shook his head and said.

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet? If you keep being so careless, you'll definitely get into trouble! Monarch Beast!"

LordKnightMon sensed the disdain in LordMon's words and roared angrily.

Monarchmon knew that LordKnightmon was worried about him, and his attitude immediately softened:

"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll take it seriously. Don't be angry."

"Humph."

LordKnightmon crossed his arms, still fuming: "Anyway, be careful. This is the last data, and we might have to risk our lives to get it. Or... we might not even get it."

"I still have some concerns about Lord Lucemon. Will he really give us the key to the human world after his resurrection? I think it's probably not that easy."

"I have no idea what our future will hold..."

Monarchmon, seeing LordKnightmon sighing and lamenting, reached out and slapped him hard on the back, saying:

"Don't overthink it! Since Lord Light Beast has promised, he will keep his word. We can worry about the future later, why fret now? Let's go, let's have a good fight! No matter what the future holds, I'll be by your side!"

Hearing his best friend's words, Lord Knight Beast's worries dissipated. He took out his favorite red rose with his left hand, sniffed it, and smiled:

"Hmph, so you're a reckless fool who doesn't like to use his brain. You need to plan ahead to be efficient... But you're right about one thing: no matter what the future holds, I'll always be by your side. Now, let's go!"

The Lordmon laughed loudly, its dragon wings unfurling. The two Royal Knights made no attempt to conceal their presence as they charged toward Angewomon's castle.

This time, they're going to have a really good fight!

…………

"coming!"

Inside the castle, the children, who had enjoyed a relaxing day, all felt the aura emanating from the Royal Knights.

"They're making no attempt to hide anything; it seems they intend to fight us head-on this time!"

"I'm somewhat surprised," Yongmeng said. They had all been prepared for the Royal Knights to continue their scheme to steal the data, but they hadn't expected them to change their minds.

"Isn't that even better? I'm already burning with passion!" Takuya said excitedly, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"This is a golden opportunity; we must take them down this time. Let's go!"

Huiji was also in high spirits and shouted loudly.

This day of relaxation was truly important for the children. It eased their constantly tense nerves considerably. Plus, their morale was restored. Now, the children are at their peak!

"This time, I'll transform into Phantom Action Gamer mode. Kouji, let's take care of LordKnightmon first. Takuya, are you sure you can handle Lordmon by yourself?"

Emu decided to change his tactics. Previously, he would transform into his Greymon Action Gamer Mode and fight against Lordmon alongside KaiserGreymon. Meanwhile, MagnaGarurumon would race against LordKnightmon.

However, MagnaGarurumon alone cannot restrain LordKnightmon. Last time at Akihabara Market, it was LordKnightmon's high speed that constantly harassed Emu and Takuya, preventing them from stopping LordMon and giving LordMon the opportunity to steal the data.

Having already learned my lesson once, I can't afford to make the same mistake twice. This time, I must take down LordKnightmon first!

"Emu, don't underestimate me! KaiserGreymon's strength is already above that of Lordmon! You'd better watch out!"

Takuya smiled confidently and turned to the other children: "Everyone, let's begin!"

"Oh!"

The children shouted in unison and raised their Digimon machines:

"Wind turns to fire!"

"Lightning turns to light!"

"Ice to Fire!"

"Darkness to Light!"

"This is our power! Super Soul - Evolution!"

"KaiserGreymon!"

"MagnaGarurumon!"

"Heh, I can't fall behind either. Hen-sh!"

"Karex-Aid, Phantom Action Player Level 99!"

Accompanied by the flashing of data streams and a series of flashy sound effects, the figures of KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon appeared in the castle.

Among them stood a figure with the distinctive "punk" hairstyle and exaggeratedly large eyes that children were already familiar with. He was equipped with the same armor as MagnaGarurumon, and his entire body was blue and white.

This is the Phantom Action Gamer form that Emu transforms into using the MagnaGarurumon gacha!

The three exchanged a glance, then turned to the children and nodded before bursting through the castle and charging toward the royal knights.

Come forth, Royal Knights! We will win this battle!

…………

"Why won't you let me go? I'm also a top-tier ultimate form, I'm a force too!"

Inside the castle, Seraphimon asked Angewomon, unconvinced. He had wanted to follow earlier, but had been stopped.

Seeing Angewomon's defiant look, she silently thought to herself, "Why can't I let you go? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

Her best friend is truly cursed, an absolute mystery player. Not only has she never won, but her teammates who fight alongside her are also affected and suffer terribly.

In this battle that will decide the fate of the Digital World, Angewomon dares not let Seraphimon unleash its full power. She previously said she wouldn't be a bad teammate, but now she's betrayed her – that's just too much.

Seeing that Angewomon remained silent, Seraphimon knew what she was thinking, and her voice softened considerably as she said, her tone lacking confidence:

"Actually, those things that happened before had nothing to do with me. We really couldn't beat them, it can't be said that it was my fault... Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

"Alright, stay put. Nefertimon is the key to this area, so protect her well," Angewomon said, shaking her head.

Behind her, Neferpitou sat there obediently, without moving.

Having witnessed the two big shots arguing, Neferpitou experienced unprecedented tension.

She is pitiful, weak, and helpless now.

UltimateAngemon glanced at her, about to say something more, when suddenly his expression turned serious, and he said softly, "It begins."

Angewomon nodded, her gaze fixed on the battlefield in the sky, silently praying:

"Children, please come back safely!"

Chapter 61, The Defeat and Death of the Lord Knight Beast

Emu, Takuya, Kouji, and the Royal Knights are also old rivals.

Both knew that the other's will was unshakeable. Therefore, they remained silent and refrained from further verbal exchanges.

When the distance was almost closed, Emu and MagnaGarurumon glanced at each other, locked onto LordKnightmon, and unleashed their full armor, sending countless missiles flying:

"Destroy the machine gun!" x2

"Dragon's Roar!"

Monarchmon frowned as it looked at the sky full of missiles. Instead of letting LordKnightmon dodge as before, it stretched out its hands and fired spherical energy balls, detonating many of the missiles.

The combined power of Emu and Kouji was too intense; even LordKnightmon's speed couldn't dodge such a dense barrage of attacks.

"Monarch Beast, your opponent is me! Gale Flame!"
