Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

Meanwhile, Huangfu Weilai and the Qilin Beast on the other side had no intention of just watching, because they both knew that this power was temporary. If they didn't defeat the Assault Dragon Beast before its energy was exhausted, they would definitely lose.

As it was his first battle as a Beast Tamer, Huangfu Future was determined not to lose, even if his opponent was Akiyama Ryo, a legendary figure who was the Digital Emperor and the strongest Beast Tamer!

For the Qilin beast, it's even simpler.

He didn't want to be forced to revert to his Ultimate form and suffer defeat, so he needed to go all out to defeat his opponent. Besides... although it was less than a tenth of its peak power, this was the Ultimate form that Kusanagimon hadn't possessed in a long time.

power.

He really likes it...

"It's no use, I won't give you a chance!" With a sharp glint in its eyes and a flap of its wings, the Qilin beast soared into the sky, looking down at the Assault Dragon Beast, and then—

[The Fluctuation of Change of Heart]!

This is the release of spiritual energy, the flapping of wings, thereby releasing a purifying power that guides enemies toward the holy path.

In other words, this is a digital version of the Full Moon Beam (Ultraman Cosmos's move).

However, this is merely the simplest application of this technique without any in-depth study.

As a Royal Knight, the eight-legged horse beast first and foremost needs immense power, and such immense power is naturally not something that can be obtained simply by evolving to the Ultimate level.

It's like the difference between WarGreymon and WarGreymon.

The original WarGreymon was a tough guy who single-handedly defeated two of the Dark Masters, while the rebooted WarGreymon went head-to-head with the final Millenniumon, becoming an even tougher character!

The difference between the two is not as vast as heaven and earth, but it's not that different either.

Therefore, the eight-legged horse-like creature that became a royal knight naturally possessed some methods far exceeding those of its kind.

For example, right now, the Qilin Beast has taken a mere ability to purify the mind and brainwash people to its extreme, turning it into a special move to break through barriers!

A faint, crystalline light descended from the sky, covering the entire ground enveloped by the barrier. It caused no damage to the Assault Dragon Beast, but automatically adhered to the inner ring of the barrier, causing it to solidify from its transparent state. Then…

Crushing and pulverizing

Click—click—click

The sound of continuous cracking echoed as the barrier, like shattered glass, fell from the sky, only to vanish completely before it touched the ground, turning into data fragments of energy points.

"It was destroyed as expected..." Akiyama Ryo said calmly. He had already guessed this outcome, so...

"Let's forgo the home advantage and rely entirely on skill to decide the winner!" Akiyama Ryo said calmly, drawing several digital cards from a pre-prepared card pack, and then—

【Card Slash】!

Attack Component A: Attack power increased by 20%

High-speed component B: Speed ​​value increased by 20%

Defense Component C: Defense increased by 20%

—Triggering combo effects, boosting overall performance by 25%!

"It's not over yet!" Akiyama Ryo thought to himself.

By utilizing the combination techniques employed by beginners, the physical capabilities of the Strike Dragonmon can be enhanced, enabling it to withstand even greater forces.

In fact, if it weren't for the limitations of Digimon and the fact that his current Strikedramon wasn't qualified, Ryo Akiyama would have wanted to pull out one of his trump cards, a card that had won consecutive championships in Digimon card battles and was known as 'Digimon'.

The Emperor's Card Power: A Digital Card Named "Emperor Warrior"!

Unfortunately, to use this card, the most basic requirement is that it needs to evolve to its complete form...

This alone effectively shut down the Strike Dragon and Akiyama Ryo.

After all, if they possessed the full power, would they still need to continuously draw cards?

Just go for it!

Therefore, Akiyama Ryo continued to draw cards.

Attack Component F: Attack power increased by 50%

High-speed component H: Speed ​​value increased by 50%

Enhancement Component O: Increases the attack power of A or B type special moves by 25%.

finally

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The Assault Dragon Beast let out a powerful dragon roar, and its whole body burst into bluish-white flames. Waves of heat began to swirl in the air, causing the surrounding temperature to rise significantly.

"As expected, when it comes to boosting the power of Digimon below the Ultimate level, Tamers are undoubtedly the best!" Huangfu Future sighed as she looked at StrikeDramon, whose strength had increased once again.

In Huangfu Future's memory, in the original series, 02, the Rescue Team, and even the Great Reboot Adventure, the only enhancement humans provided to Digimon was the ability to break through their evolution limits; the rest... all the damage output relied on shouting?

Oh……

Oh, and there's also the Infinite Zone and the Intertwined Wars here.

However, Huangfu Future excluded everyone from this group. After all, the Infinite Zone had already transformed into a Digimon, essentially doing everything themselves. Why would they need humans to amplify their abilities?

Similarly, the same applies to intertwined wars.

This is a world view where evolution is secondary and combination is primary. With the continuous accumulation of data, even a small dragon-type Shoutmon in its growth stage has the power to crush mature and even complete stages.

The human characters here are essentially just tools that are constantly being assembled. Aside from that, they have almost no support abilities, unless we exclude the use of summoning ancient Digimon phantoms as a means of exploitation…

In conclusion, below the ultimate level, Huangfu Future believes that the profession of Beast Tamer still has a promising future.

and so……

After the battle, should I ask Akiyama Ryo to teach me a few moves...?

Huangfu Weilai pondered this in secret, while simultaneously issuing the order for the final blow to the Qilin Beast!

"The power of the bond between humans and Digimon? — I see it indeed. So, can you withstand my final blow?!" Kirinmon declared with high spirits, and then…

The wind is raging!

The endless storm was compressed to its extreme, and a transparent storm sword flickered in and out of sight before the Qilin Beast's forehead. This was even more thorough than the Wavemon's Champion form; this was a technique the Qilin Beast used in its Ultimate form.

Concentrate your power into your strongest horn and deliver a devastating thrust to your enemy!

"Aaaaah—" The Strike Dragon roared, and the flames erupting from its body instantly transformed into a huge thrust, shooting into the sky like a rocket.

The Assault Dragon glared fiercely at the Kirin Beast, then concentrated all its power into its hard head, delivering a powerful headbutt to the Kirin Beast—[Assault Fang]!

"Ha—[Swift Wind Soaring Sword]!"

The Qilin beast chuckled, then its expression hardened. With a burst of speed, its four hooves moved, and the transparent, invisible longsword was directly enveloped by cyan energy, transforming into the sharpest blade. Like a meteor, it streaked across the sky with a cyan light, striking the ground directly!

Chapter Eleven Exchange

boom--!!!!

There were no fancy techniques, only pure, overwhelming force. At the moment of contact between the descending blue meteor and the ascending human rocket, the sky split into two colors. An invisible yet colorful storm swept across the land.

Even though the energy surge occurred in mid-air, the ground was still whipped up by the shockwave, creating waves of dust.

"Well……"

The thick smoke and dust instantly obscured Huangfu Weilai's vision, forcing him to lean forward and adjust his pace to avoid being blown away by the sudden storm. He also instinctively raised his arm to shield his eyes from the dense, choking smoke.

Smoke and dust.

"The outcome is decided..."

Huangfu Weilai spoke calmly, without trying to sense the situation inside the arena or even trying to see clearly through the thick smoke and dust.

This time, whether it's the Strikemon that keeps stacking buffs or the Kirinmon that is already a Perfect level, their attack power is genuine Perfect level, and they are not weak even at the Perfect level.

They are what people often call geniuses, which, in the context of Digimon, means fighting against opponents of a much higher level!

Huangfu Weilai watched calmly as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing the two figures who had regressed to their growth stage.

Without any prior knowledge, Huangfu Weilai frankly didn't know who won or lost, but that didn't stop him from caring about his teammates, or rather, about the fate of his fox scarf. —(√)

Meanwhile, after the storm subsided, Akiyama Ryo shouted the name of the Monohorn and rushed into the center of the battle. Clearly, his attitude was much more sincere than that of Huangfu Mirai...

"...Did you win? Are you alright? Can you still move?" Huangfu Weilai saw the fox beast lying flat on its back, silently walked to its side, squatted down, propped its head up, and spoke calmly.

"The only question you really want to ask is the first one, isn't it!" Upon hearing this, the Fox-like Beast rolled its eyes and said irritably.

"You're really smart. So... what was the result?" Huangfu Weilai smiled, not refuting Guan Hushou's intention, but calmly continuing the previous topic and asking.

“…We won.” The Fox Beast spoke softly, its eyes slightly narrowed and its vision somewhat blurred.

In that final moment, the two of them were truly stubborn to the extreme, banging their heads together head-on.

Admittedly, the Strikedramon has a hard metal plate protecting its head, and the Kirinmon has a single, sword-like horn as its sharpest weapon. However, both are stubborn and use equally stubborn techniques—both using…

When heads collide, the result is naturally that neither party feels good.

Of course, this is under the premise that the two are not vastly different in combat strength.

"call……"

Soon, the Fox Beast regained its strength, stood up from the ground, jumped onto Huangfu Weilai's body, and climbed into his designated spot.

Limited edition Mikomon scarf, automatically equipped!

Huangfu Weilai didn't look down on the Foxmon that had just finished fighting. After all, their strategy of "fleecing" was sustainable, and they had a long life ahead of them as tamers! At least until they returned to the Ultimate Continent, Huangfu Weilai planned to...

I've been staying here.

"What a spectacular battle!" At that moment, Ryo Akiyama walked over slowly, carrying the Monohorn Beast, and greeted him with another hearty laugh.

Although Kirinmon, like Strikedramon, has regressed to its juvenile stage, Ryo Akiyama does not believe that Kirinmon has run out of power.

If the Assault Dragon was forced back, then the Kirin Beast deliberately regressed to avoid further energy depletion. There's a huge difference here!

After all, no matter how much Strikedramon is strengthened, its essence is still that of a Champion-level Digimon. To think that it can defeat the Ultimate-level Royal Knight, Eight-legged Horsemon, by fighting a battle of a higher level is simply not up to the task!

It seems that only when the Strike Dragon evolves to its Ultimate form can the two be evenly matched, and it will truly possess the power to fight the Qilin Beast!

“But I won’t lose next time!” Akiyama Ryo said solemnly.

Although Akiyama Ryo lost this time, it was due to the difference in levels between the two sides. To make up for it, the two sides can only be equal when the Assault Dragon Beast and the Kirin Beast are on the same level.

Therefore, Akiyama Ryo extended an invitation for the next battle.

It seems his competitive spirit has been ignited!

Huangfu Weilai smiled and readily agreed.

'well……'

While Huangfu Weilai and Qiushan Liao were having a happy conversation, only Guanhushou sighed silently.

After all, he was the one fighting, and he had already seen Akiyama Ryo's abilities... or rather, his abilities as a beast tamer.

I guess the next battle will be against Ryo Akiyama, who has used every trick in the book and upgraded his Monohorn to its maximum potential...

It's so frustrating...

“Then let me teach you how to fight with digital cards,” Akiyama Ryo said with a smile.

Prior to this, Huangfu Mirai consulted Akiyama Ryo about the battle methods of digital cards, and Akiyama Ryo readily agreed to teach Huangfu Mirai.

Upon hearing this, the listless Tube Fox Beast, which had been perched on Huangfu Future's shoulder, immediately raised its head. "You've really perked me up now," it said. "After all, anyone with eyes can clearly see the boosts a trainer gives to a Digimon."

Admittedly, the Fox Beast knew that Ryo Akiyama's ability to draw cards as easily as eating and drinking was an exception among humans, but it couldn't stop him from knowing the capabilities of some individual humans.

At least, deep down, he was quite satisfied with partnering with Huangfu Weilai.

·.....

"Then... in exchange—" After listening to Akiyama Ryo's teachings and receiving the beginner's card series from him, Huangfu Mirai had no intention of getting something for nothing. Instead, she carefully returned the favor to Akiyama Ryo: "—this..."

I'll give it to you!

Huangfu Weilai took out a wind data crystal, which stored materialized wind attribute energy.

This is a good item; according to the Digimon ranking system, it's an Ultimate-level Digimon item.

Because Huangfu Weilai remembered something: in the original timeline, the final form of Akiyama Ryo and his partner, Science Flying Dragonmon, was Judgment Beast.

The arm of the Judgment Beast has three forms of attack methods. The final form of the [Critical Armament] mode is the Wind God Beast with double the [Critical Armament].

The current Monodramon is a good friend of Huangfu Mirai and is expected to be the future ScienceDragonmon, so this is a gift given as part of the exchange, and also a present to give Monodramon a stronger form.

Then Akiyama Ryo declined, saying he wasn't teaching for the sake of good things, but he couldn't refuse Huangfu Mirai, so he had no choice but to accept it with resignation and relief.

Huangfu Weilai smiled. People on different levels view things differently.
