A different kind of digital world adventure

"Why have you been so agitated since earlier?" Taiichi looked helplessly at the wriggling BlackGatomon in his arms, then looked at Gatomon seriously and said...

"I don't need any repayment from you. As long as the vampire beast is truly a scoundrel, I will kill it without you having to tell me, and rid the people of this scourge."

With Taichi's agreement, Wizardmon and Gatomon relaxed a bit. Now that they were part of the group, Taichi thought about it and figured he couldn't sleep anyway, so he decided to light a fire and have Agumon catch a few more fish so they could chat together some more.

During this time, Taichi asked BlackGatomon what was wrong, but BlackGatomon was like a firecracker that had gone silent, and wouldn't answer no matter what Taichi said.

Helpless, Taichi could only put BlackGatomon aside for the time being and continue talking to Wizardmon and Gatomon.

"Myotismon lives in an ancient castle on the westernmost edge of the Digital World continent."

Tailmon revealed the location of Myotismon's residence.

"However, the Vampire Beast is extremely powerful. We will probably need to plan carefully before we can defeat it."

"That's right. Even if Taiichi is really strong, at the moment you can only go toe-to-toe with Myotismon. It will probably be difficult for you to defeat Myotismon."

Tai listened quietly to Wizardmon's words.

Taiichi knew he wasn't weak and hadn't suffered a single defeat since his debut, but he also understood that there were always stronger opponents out there. Besides, he had never seen Myotismon before, so it was better to listen to Wizardmon's advice.

Although Wizardmon is weak, he has at least seen Myotismon.

Meanwhile, the wizard beast continued speaking.

"So I think we should first cut off the Vampire Beast's wings to reduce its strength, and you will become stronger in battle."

"In that case, we'll be even more confident in facing the Vampire Beast."

Taiichi initially thought there was nothing wrong with it, but he quickly realized something was amiss.

"Wait a minute, the subordinate you're talking about wouldn't happen to be...?"

"Yes, those are the Digimon we recruited."

"hiss..."

"Don't feel guilty," Wizardmon quickly said. "Those Digimon are all vicious and ruthless, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They're all scum."

"Row."

Since Wizardmon had already said that, Taichi couldn't say anything more, so he just nodded in agreement.

"There's nothing wrong with me."

Chapter 19 Death Flame Beast, Withering

Taichi readily accepted Wizardmon and Gatomon's advice and prepared to eliminate all of Myotismon's subordinates one by one.

So Taiyi and the others formed a small team and embarked on their journey.

"Speaking of which, Grandpa Gennai hasn't contacted me again since."

Taiyi looked at the divine plan in his hands,

"He didn't even tell me what he wanted me to do, what's with all this talk about the darkness of the Digital World? Who am I supposed to fight?"

Agumon didn't have that many thoughts.

"Let's beat up whoever's a bad guy. Maybe Elder Gennai just wants us to plow through the Dark Area."

"Hey, don't tell me."

Taiyi was stunned for a moment, then he clapped his hands suddenly.

"You know what, that might actually be what they mean!"

BlackGatomon: "Although I don't know who Gennai is, I feel that's definitely not what he meant."

"Never mind, we don't know where Elder Xuannei is either. He'll definitely contact us if fate allows."

Taiichi didn't care. He then looked at BlackGatomon.

"Tell me, what was wrong with you last night? Why did you get so worked up when you heard what Wizardmon said?"

“I…I don’t know either,” BlackGatomon said, unsure of what to say. “I just found what Wizardmon said very offensive, so I couldn’t help but want to mock him.”

"And what I said was all true." BlackGatomon didn't feel there was anything wrong with what he said. "After all, after waiting for so many years, others have long forgotten about you. This is the most normal and logical situation."

"If you fall into darkness, your only fate is to sink into darkness forever."

"What did you say?"

"What, did I say something wrong?" BlackGatomon looked at Gatomon with disdain. "Ask yourself honestly, did I say anything wrong?"

"you..."

“What BlackGatomon said is right, but it’s a bit too extreme.” Taiichi suddenly spoke up, looking at BlackGatomon and Gatomon. “Even if the other party has really forgotten, it’s not a reason for you to give up. Even if you really lose that ray of light, as long as you don’t give up, there will always be a second ray of light coming.”

"After all, the world will keep turning no matter who's gone, right?"

BlackGatomon had nothing to say. It just muttered that it was too naive, and then said nothing more.

Then Taichi looked at Gatomon, who seemed somewhat shaken, and said, "Whether the other party remembers you or not, you still have to find them first to find out the answer, right?"

"Thinking about this and that here, besides wasting your own time, probably won't serve any other purpose, right?"

"...That's true."

"Thank you."

"fine."

Taichi waved his hand casually, then looked at BlackGatomon.

"BlackGatomon, have you ever experienced something similar to Gatomon before?"

BlackGatomon remained silent for a long time, then slowly shook its head.

"...I don't remember."

"Yeah."

Taichi looked thoughtfully at BlackGatomon's micro-expressions.

"Never mind, we'll find out later."

Tai looked at Gatomon and Wizardmon, and then...

"Have we not reached our destination yet?"

"Already arrived."

The wizard beast, which had been silently leading the way, stopped and turned to the side, revealing the scene ahead.

Tai looked ahead, but he didn't see any Digimon, because all he saw in front of him was an endless expanse of scorched earth.

"This...is the territory of Deathflame Beast, one of Myotismon's subordinates?"

"This scorched earth actually looks quite plausible." Taiyi looked around.

"But where is the Deathfire Beast? We haven't seen any trace of it."

"Don't rush." ​​Wizardmon looked at Taiichi and pointed ahead.

"Go in and see for yourself, and you'll understand immediately."

"Be careful, the Deathfire Beast has a very brutal temper."

"is it?"

Taiichi didn't think much of it and then stepped into the scorched earth with Agumon.

"Nothing special..."

boom!

Before Taiyi could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his feet burning. When he came to his senses, he found that a sea of ​​fire had already broken out in front of him!

"Oh."

Startled, Taiyi jumped up. The temperature of the flames wasn't too bad for him, but it would be bad if they burned his shoes. So Taiyi immediately gripped the Divine Plan tightly.

"Agumon, do me a favor!"

"it is good!"

Agumon instantly evolved into Greymon and lifted Tai away from the sea of ​​fire.

Tyrannomon stood in the sea of ​​fire, its expression unchanged, and even seemed somewhat comfortable.

It was indeed comfortable. Tyrannomon felt like it was soaking in a hot spring, and all the muscles in its body felt completely relaxed.

However, Greymon didn't enjoy it for long. It seemed that it had discovered that the flames couldn't harm Greymon, and all the blue flames disappeared from the ground. In their place, a fire tornado rose up not far from Greymon, and then a burly man with an iron chin appeared in front of Greymon.

[Deathfire Beast, Ultimate Level]

"This guy is inherently cruel and will indiscriminately burn any Digimon that enters its territory," Wizardmon explained at the right moment. "Gatomon and I were only saved from being killed by it immediately thanks to the protection of Myotismon, and we were able to recruit it later."

Tai didn't reply to Wizardmon's explanation, because after Deathflamemon reappeared, it had already locked onto him and was now charging towards Greymon with a furious roar, its face glowing blue.

"Get out of my territory!"

"Heavy metal flames!"

Boom!

Deathfiremon spewed out a mouthful of blue flame with a rusty smell. Greymon immediately dodged, but just as it dodged, Gatomon cried out.

"careful!"

Before the words could even be uttered, a large amount of blue flames suddenly erupted from the spot where the Greymon was hiding.

Deathflamemon sneered at Tyrannomon.

This is the home ground of the Deathfire Beast. The area within a ten-kilometer radius has long been transformed into a place extremely suitable for the Deathfire Beast to spread its flames. In other words, as long as it is in this scorched earth, the Deathfire Beast can attack the opponent from any angle at will!

"Heavy metal flames!"

boom!

Instantly, flames began to surge up in front of Greymon, causing Greymon and Tai to gasp in surprise.

“This, this is…”

Hmph, struggle, roar in pain, and then die!

"Why doesn't this flame hurt or itch at all!?"

"?"

Deathflamemon turned its head to look and saw Greymon and Taichi quietly roasting in the blue flames. Afterwards, they patted their bodies as if they were dusting off ashes, showing no signs of being burned by the flames.

If the Deathfire Beast hadn't been certain that it was sending firepower in that direction, it would have thought it was hallucination.

"If you don't have any other tricks up your sleeve."

Taiyi stretched his limbs, glanced at the Deathfire Beast, and raised his head.

"Then just obediently accept your death."

The Death Flame Beast glared angrily at Taiyi. "Damn human brat, how dare you underestimate me!"

I'll show you what cruelty really is!

As soon as the words left his mouth, intense blue flames suddenly erupted from Deathflame Beast's body. Simultaneously, its size began to expand, growing to be half again as tall as Greymon in the blink of an eye. From a distance, it resembled a towering, burning tree. Then, without hesitation, Deathflame Beast swung its massive iron fist at Greymon, smashing it down like a meteor.

High-temperature chain!

Taiichi showed no fear, instantly merging with Greymon and unleashing a full-force attack.

Super Flame!

Boom! The enormous fireball slammed into the fist of the Death Flame Beast in the blink of an eye, then utterly destroyed the fist and smashed into the face of the Death Flame Beast in one fell swoop. The next moment, the Death Flame Beast was subjected to a tremendous explosion.

But at that very moment, Taiyi could see a tiny wisp of blue flame fly out from the explosion, and after landing on the ground, it instantly turned into a streak of blue light and disappeared into the distance.

"Don't even think about running away!"

A dazzling orange light shot out from the Greymon's mouth and crashed to the ground!

Super Explosion!

air!

Centered on Greymon, the scorched earth below was violently lifted by the extremely high temperature energy, turning into ashes and disappearing completely in mid-air. The extreme light completely swallowed up the surrounding landscape. When Gatomon and the others regained their vision and looked over there, they could only see Greymon deep in a huge pit with a diameter of 100 meters.

As for the Death Flame Beast, it had long since vanished without a trace by this time.
