Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

As the firelight illuminated the scene, Huangfu Weilai's delighted gaze revealed the burning wings of the Kugamon.

Chapter Five: Escape

"Good!" Even with Huangfu Weilai's mental fortitude, he couldn't help but shout it out.

After all, crippling Kuwagamon's flight ability greatly increases the chances of escape.

However, Huangfu Weilai was excited for a moment, then quickly calmed down. After all, it only greatly increased the probability, not that he could completely escape.

Moreover, while an enraged Gaiamon is easier to deal with than a calm one, it's not much easier. After all, if Gaiamon were to stubbornly fight to the end, it could easily achieve a one-for-one trade, or even a one-for-two trade.

With a loud stomp, Kuwagamon, like an arrow released from a bow, arrived in front of the two Agumon in the blink of an eye.

The first thing that catches the eye is Kuwagamon's powerful physique, with eight-pack abs that would make most people blush, and its arms covered in red carapace that are gradually approaching.

"boom!"

The arm blasted a small crater into the ground, and as gravel flew, two yellow figures dodged to the left and right.

The enraged Kuwagamon used its four arms to launch repeated attacks on the two Agumons with a savage attitude.

The sheer power of her physical strength left Huangfu Future exhausted, forcing her to use "small flames" to distract Kugamon while she dodged.

"Agumon, if this continues..."

Although Agumon S didn't finish his sentence, Huangfu Future understood what he wanted to say.

If this drags on any longer, the consequences are obvious.

With a glint in her eye, Huangfu Weilai was distracted and almost got hit by Kugamon's arm, but luckily Agumon S noticed and saved her in time.

In this situation, having taken a direct hit from Kuwagamon's powerful attack, the outcome was practically sealed.

Finally approaching the limit, with death so close, Huangfu Future's bestial nature, as a Digimon, was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, impacting his rationality.

Even ants try to survive, let alone Huangfu Weilai, who was once a human being.

Just as Huangfu Future was about to pull Agumon S together for a last-ditch counterattack.

Agumon's voice rang out: "Agumon, I'm here! I found it!"

The battle actually lasted only a few minutes, but Huangfu Weilai felt as if the days were dragging on forever.

At this moment, Agumon's voice sounded like heavenly music to Huangfu Weilai and Agumon S.

That was their hope of escape.

A surge of power, seemingly from nowhere, filled Huangfu Weilai's withered body with energy once more, even surpassing his previous energy level.

Huangfu Weilai didn't say much, but simply shouted, "Agumon S!"

Agumon S, who was fighting alongside him, instantly understood Huangfu Future's meaning.

No more holding back, all energy is poured out!

The two Agumon blinked and gathered intense heat, storing and compressing it in their mouths.

"Roar~~"

Kugamon roared. He had seen this kind of thing many times before. So what if a Digimon made a last-ditch effort? In the eyes of a powerful hunter, the prey's last-ditch effort was nothing but a joke.

And Kuwagamon was confident that it would not be defeated by Agumon's attacks if it no longer relied on playing around!

Therefore, the time to decide the outcome has arrived!

"Scissor arms!"

"Small-scale blasting!"

"Pseudo-small-scale explosion!"

As if it were pre-arranged, the three launched their attacks simultaneously.

The sharpness could be felt from afar, and the two fiery spheres collided instantly, kicking up huge clouds of dust and gravel.

Did Kugamon cut the fireball and dissipate its energy, or did the Agumons detonate the fireball?

"Go!" Huangfu Weilai didn't wait for the result. He ran straight to Agumon S, picked up Agumon S's exhausted body, and immediately ran in the direction of Agumon.

Even if Huangfu Future's attack was a compressed version of Agumon S's special move, and was more powerful than Agumon S's original small explosion due to its surge of energy, he wouldn't care.

After all, Huangfu Weilai's goal from the very beginning was to escape. He certainly wouldn't have had any illusions like "I can turn the tables," nor would he stand there dumbfounded and ask the classic irony: "Did I succeed?"

Against the backdrop of endless dust, Huangfu Weilai, looking like a refugee, ran up to Agumon and said, "Lead the way!"

"Uh... okay!" Awakening from his shock, Agumon immediately responded and then led Huangfu Mirai toward the location he had seen.

They traversed through the tall forest, the lush grass reaching almost to Agumon's head. Judging from the map, the Agumons had long since strayed from the safe route, venturing deeper into the inner reaches of the Misty Forest, which was not recorded on the map.

"You've already had a big battle, let me help Agumon S up."

Agumon seems to have finally realized what it should do, since it hasn't used up much energy throughout the entire process.

"No need, we don't have time to stop. I still have the strength."

Huangfu Weilai replied to Agumon in a calm tone, without any hint of exhaustion in his words.

A dead duck has a tough mouth.

Agumon secretly rolled its eyes and silently labeled Huangfu Future.

If Huangfu Weilai knew, he would definitely cry foul, saying that it wasn't just him being stubborn, but that his strength had truly recovered.

In the face of life and death, Huangfu Future's potential is unleashed, allowing him to break through his limits and become even stronger.

The outward manifestation is the restoration of one's energy, improvement of one's physique, and indirectly, the restoration of physical strength.

The strengthening and evolution of Digimon is not entirely based on the accumulation of data.

We also need to continuously refine our digital core to evolve in the best possible form.

This process also involves increasing the capacity for energy storage and improving control over skills.

If you don't refine your core technologies and improve your capabilities in all aspects, you can only become the ultimate form by accumulating data.

It either evolves into a Platinum Numemon or becomes the weakest Ultimate-level Digimon.

Just then, Agumon's expression changed.

Huangfu Weilai, standing to the side, was in no better shape and hurriedly asked, "How much further?"

"The map I saw shows this area, we should be there soon." Agumon was panicking, but he couldn't stop.

Because the two awake Agumon had already heard the sound of running behind them, the ground shaking.

It's clear that Gugamon has caught up and seems to be going after them.

Now Huangfu Weilai can only pray that Kugamon's wings won't heal so quickly and that it won't fly over directly.

"Hey, I see it." Huangfu Weilai looked at the azure river in the distance and felt his whole body trembling with excitement.

As for the Digimon in the river... well, we can't worry about that now, we can only take it one step at a time.

"As expected..." Huangfu Weilai looked at the cliff, then at the river below. Why did this experience of jumping off the cliff feel so familiar?

The difference lies in the fact that one is passive and the other is active.

"Um……"

Huangfu Weilai sensed movement coming from Agumon S behind him.

Did we escape?

Agumon S was clearly a little confused, but he would soon come to his senses, though he didn't like the method.

"Perfect timing, you're awake. Come on! Prepare for the impact!"

"What?"

then……

With a squeal of a pig, the three beasts 'plop' fell into the river.

Chapter Six Rescue

"Whoosh..." The rushing river carried Huangfu Weilai and his group downstream.

In a daze, Huangfu Weilai saw the Kugamon, which had lost its ability to fly, roaring helplessly at the edge of the cliff.

Restoring flight capability would likely require a significant amount of data and take at least a day, enough time for Huangfu Weilai to stay far away.

"However, those of us who fell into the water aren't having an easy time either," Huangfu Weilai thought to himself.

Agumon is a true reptile, completely unrelated to rivers, let alone spending a long time in a river. Not to mention Agumon, even the dinosaur-type Agumon S couldn't stand it.

"So much water, I can't hold on much longer." Poor Agumon S choked on some water after falling in, and now it seems like circles are spinning in its eyes...

"We weren't eaten by Kuwagamon, but drowned instead. What a humiliating way to die."

Huangfu Future looked at Agumon's embarrassing state with a speechless expression, and then glanced at Agumon S, whose face had turned blue, on her back.

All I could do was offer some words of encouragement, both to boost morale and to convince myself.

"Don't give up! From now on, let's not talk and conserve our energy. There must be a place to land downstream. Let's hold on until then!"

Easy to fool... cough, I mean, the naive Agumon quickly believed it and became motivated. Even though Agumon S behind him was very upset, he still gave Huangfu Future a 'like' to show that he heard it.

That's true, but Huangfu Weilai looked at both sides of the river and felt just as desperate.

There are cliffs on both sides, making it impossible to climb up. If this continues, I guess I'll be old enough to write a sad epitaph.

"Cough cough..."

This is the sound of Agumon choking on water. He followed Huangfu Future's instructions well and didn't complain even though he was choking.

But this won't last long, since Agumon and the other two are all terrible swimmers.

"Whoosh..." The river that usually doesn't elicit any response could very well be a death knell.

Gritting his teeth, Huangfu Weilai tried his best to stay clear-headed.

The Agumon S on his back was completely unconscious. If Huangfu Weilai hadn't been holding him up, it probably would have already sunk.

Huangfu Weilai suddenly called out loudly, "Agumon!"

"Huh? Are we going ashore?" Agumon's weak voice quickly returned.

Although she didn't want to shatter Agumon's illusion, Huangfu Weilai still told the truth: "No, I just wanted to check if you were missing."

Click.

Huangfu Weilai turned around in confusion, and I seemed to hear the sound of a heart breaking.

After a long while, Agumon's voice finally drifted over: "Boss, if you can't talk, then don't talk!"

These words sounded very strong, and those who didn't know the situation would never guess that the speaker was struggling between life and death.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Weilai's expression suddenly changed to this (°a°).

This is really unexpected. I didn't expect Agumon to have this side to him. Hmm... I'll remember that.

Huangfu Weilai said calmly, "Is that so? Then I don't need to say anything more if I see a chance to live."

"Um?!"

Before Agumon could say anything, Huangfu Weilai threw Agumon S on her back backward, performed a high-difficulty leverage in the water, and used Agumon S's body as a springboard to soar into the sky.

All that remained was Huangfu Weilai's voice before he rushed out.

"Got it. 99"

The sound of Agumon S acting as a pedal: "Ugh..."

"Huh?!" Agumon was so frightened by Huangfu Future's actions that his face turned pale. He barely managed to take Agumon S, looked up, and immediately understood, saying, "I see."

On the steep rock face, you can clearly see the thick tree roots. The roots alone are almost the size of Agumon's height. It's hard to imagine how tall the tree must be when it's fully grown.

Only when Huangfu Weilai was in mid-air could he see that this once tall tree had been cut in half, leaving only the roots still deeply embedded in the ground.

However, this has nothing to do with Huangfu's future. Right now, he just wants to break off a section of tree root. With the size of this root, it would be more than enough to serve as floating wood, and it's even possible that everyone could squeeze together to make a boat.

In the blink of an eye, Huangfu Weilai was close to the thick tree root. Even after being soaked in water for a long time, his fighting power could not be reduced, so the burning sensation in his mouth did not decrease in the slightest.

"Small flame!"
