The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

(Eight)

Taking the elevator, Ryder and others came to a circular arena.In the center of the sky above the arena is a ring-shaped cage made of energy, inside the cage, the friends he knows are imprisoned.

The cage is so strong that the power of the three Digimon cannot break it.Lucy, who could not be rescued, told what happened to her and hoped that they could find Mina.

Sympathetic to what happened to her friend, Lilithmon wanted to rescue Bastymon and Lucy.

However, the Black Orc Garuru reappeared.

"It's you again! What do you want to do?!"

Seeing the black orc Garuru again, Basdimon glared at him angrily.

"I just came to carry out the orders of a certain adult and test the ability of that human being."

Black orc Garuru replied truthfully.

"Test? You just want to stop us from saving Mina."

For the enemy, Lucy and Bustymon don't believe him.

"Oh, test me? It's an interesting invitation, but unfortunately I'm not interested in participating right now."

Shaking his head regretfully, Ryder rejected the other party's 'good intentions', while hinting at Lilith Beast with his eyes.

"Your breath is a bit familiar, I seem to have seen you before. If you can obediently hand over the key, I will make you very happy.

"

Showing a charming expression, Lilithmon looked at the Black Orc Garuru with charming eyes, trying to control his mind and obtain useful information.

"Wow, if that lord hadn't done something to me, maybe I would really be fascinated by your fan."

A little embarrassed to face Lilithmon's charming expression, Black Orc Garuru joked inappropriately.

Damn, it doesn't even work with my favorite charm ability!Lilith Beast's expression was very unwilling.

"So, this 'charm' ability is really not my specialty."

Seeing that Lilithmon failed to charm the enemy, Basdimon complained inappropriately.

That being the case, then use a 'non-peaceful' way to solve the problem.Without much patience, just when Lilith Beast stretched out the 'Nazar's Claw' and was about to forcibly extract a confession from the Black Orc Garuru, he suddenly threw a black spar.The spar fell and sank into the ground, and a huge magic circle emerged from the ground; then, a barrier appeared, covering the entire arena and forcibly isolating the three Digimon around Ryder.This time, it was Ryder's turn to be trapped.

"Ryder!!"

Chanting the incantation, Lilithmon released black curse power to erode the barrier that imprisoned Ryder, but it had no effect.

Damn it, if it wasn't for this damn barrier to keep everyone out, I would never let the black orc Garuru go! !

"Do you want to take them hostage and threaten us?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be deliberately embarrassing everyone, the holy angel beast asked angrily.

"It's not a threat, it's a test."

The black orc Garuru didn't show any malice.

"There are a lot of filthy beasts lurking in this dark castle. You should know that only humans can kill filthy beasts. I was just ordered by a certain lord to test the ability of this human being. If you really want to rescue that Miss, a human being who can kill the beast is essential."

"He's not a human from the world of 'Analogous Tree'! I have the power of a guardian, and I can kill foul beasts! Please let Ryder go!!"

Immediately understood what the other party wanted to do, Nereus said loudly.

"Don't be nervous, brat, the test won't be too difficult. Since the red-haired lady can kill the beast by herself, this human can do the same. Or are you just a coward hiding behind a woman? "

While telling some useful information, the black orc Garuru did not forget to provoke Ryder.

Mina killed the vile beast alone?

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words of the black orc Garuru.But rather than surprise, it was actually more of worry.

"Missy killed the dirty beast?"

Ryder's expression was slightly surprised, but he soon smiled.As expected of a young lady, she always surprises herself.

"Oh? Sounds really interesting. Well, I'll put it to the test."

Mina is working hard to overcome the predicament, and of course she will not admit defeat.So Ryder was put to the test.

"Don't decide on your own, it's hard for ordinary humans to deal with that kind of monster."

The Holy Angel Beast is of course opposed to human participation in irrelevant battles.

"Since humans can kill dirty beasts, why can't I try? What's more, the eldest lady has also done something that seems impossible."

With a slight smile, Ryder calmly accepted his future.

"Do you think you are a superhero to fight unknown monsters? The reality is not comics and movies, Ryder."

Although she doesn't know what the filthy beast is, she sees that Ryder is determined to fight the unknown monster alone, and Lucy is really worried.

"Very well, you still have backbone."

Regarding Ryder's attitude, the Black Orc Garuru showed an expression of approval.

"Use this one-handed sword to fight. This sword can cut everything and is very suitable for close combat."

As he spoke, he threw a light-bladed single-handed sword to Ryder from a height.

"That's Elizabeth's light-bladed hand sword—'Heart of Shadow'!!"

Nereus recognized the identity of Pian Shujian at a glance.

"Also, although the enchantment covering the arena will not be hindered in any way, it can allow people inside to be 'assisted' by external forces. Take it as my kind reminder."

The 'good-hearted' black orc Garuru reminded Ryder that he was not sure whether ordinary humans without any training could kill the beast.

"I am a very honest Digimon. If you can kill the Dirty Beast, I will give you the key and the map of the castle."

"Oh

I will wait and see. "

Confirming that the other party wasn't lying, Ryder smiled and pulled out the light-bladed hand sword stuck in the ground.

"Lilith Beast, I will leave the support to you."

"I will do my best to assist you..."

After answering, Lilithmon began to chant the spell.

The magic power is transferred, and the strengthening of the selected character begins——

Strengthening of limbs——completed!

Visual Enhancement - Done!

Strengthening of the physical body——Complete!

Blue-purple runes appeared from Ryder's limbs, heart, and head, and then hid; Lilith Beast used the spell to strengthen his body and mobility to the greatest extent.

Now, Ryder's combat power should have reached the level of maturity.

"Hopefully it will work..."

The holy angel beast can only pray that Ryder can succeed.

The trial begins, the enemy --- Ithaqua (Ithaqua) foul beast.

It was a tall humanoid beast. The body of the beast was very wet, and its appearance was like a strange zombie. Moreover, the right hand of the Itaka beast was connected to a huge sarcomatous sickle.

The alien zombie jumped up, and the filthy beast known as Itaka pounced on Ryder, and raised a huge sarcoma scythe and slammed it at him.

With the help of his strengthened body, Ryder avoided the meteorite-like impact of the Itaka Obscene Beast in time.

The ground vibrated and the stones splashed, it was really not a small impact.However, the Ithaca Obscene Beast that landed on the ground was bending its back to Ryder. When it raised its body and turned around in a very short time, Ryder held the light-bladed hand sword tightly, and quickly swung the sword towards him. Ithaca Grim Beast preparing to turn around.

Don't hesitate, face it bravely!

The light-bladed hand sword easily sliced ​​through the side of the Itaka Obscene Beast, and with a scream, black blood splashed from the cut wound.It's really a good weapon, even better than expected.Of course, I should be most grateful for the strengthening spell of the Lilith beast. If I were to use an ordinary body to fight against the beast, I'm afraid I would really be smashed into pieces of meat.

After causing the enemy to take damage, Ryder didn't make any additional attacks. After only dealing one blow, he immediately leaped back twice in a row to keep a distance from the Itaka Obscene Beast, and observed its actions.As for the pain-eating Ithaka Obscene Beast, it took a step back and looked at Ryder vigilantly. It didn't attack immediately, but observed Ryder.It seems that this filthy beast has simple intelligence and doesn't like brainless attacks that much.

Tentatively moving forward a few steps, the Ithaca Beast swung the sarcoma scythe horizontally and smashed it to the ground, the stones splashed again, the dust obscured the sight, and the Itaka Beast seemed to be warning Ryder not to approach.

Carefully observing the enemy's sarcoid sickle, Ryder found that the sarcoma sickle has a thin line similar to an umbilical cord connected to the finger of Itaka's right hand, which means that the sickle can be thrown out remotely, and the sickle can be retracted with the umbilical cord at the same time. A gap appears.

Simply use the interval created by the enemy's long-range attack to carry out a surprise attack!Making a dangerous judgment, Ryder ignored the warning of the Ithaca beast and rushed forward provocatively.

Ithaca was offended by Ryder's behavior, and it waved its sickle angrily.Sure enough, the umbilical cord was getting longer, and the sickle connected to the umbilical cord was thrown towards Ryder like a hammer.Seeing that the scythe was about to hit him, Ryder bent down and swooped forward. The top of his head just passed the scythe, and several strands of hair fell down.

Seeing such a thrilling scene, everyone couldn't help but gasped.Ryder's actions are too risky, this is his first battle, at least he should proceed with caution!

Before the Itaka Obscure had retracted its scythe, Ryder quickly went around behind it, and then slashed hard.The wet and pale body was cut into long slits, and black blood spilled out.Feeling the pain, the Itaka Obscene Beast immediately turned around, but at this moment, Ryder raised a sword and slashed at it again, and then another scar appeared on its abdomen.

Ithaca, which has been injured many times, was completely enraged this time. It let out a roar, frantically swung its sarcoma scythe, and smashed at Ryder irregularly, just like a mad dog...

Relying on his excellent eyesight and intuition, Ryder could barely dodge the enemy's attack by dodging and retreating. It was very difficult to get close to the Itaca beast for a simple single attack.

"Oh, no! This battle is too difficult!"

Looking at Ryder who was avoiding the crazy attack of the Ithaca beast, Lucy broke into a cold sweat for him.The enemy is too powerful, even with the enhanced power of Lilithmon and powerful weapons, it would be very difficult for an ordinary human to defeat a terrifying monster.

"Hey, the difficulty of the test is too cheating! Do you want to kill our friend?!"

Seeing that Ryder was at a disadvantage, Basdimon glared at the black orc Garuru again, but the other party shook his head and smiled without saying a word.What an infuriating bastard!

"Damn it, such a test is not fair at all!!"

It can only watch helplessly that its companions are in danger, but can't do anything, the expression of the holy angel beast becomes more and more anxious.

"If you have Elizabeth's laser machine gun 'Mizli', you can easily deal with the beast..."

Nereus also looked disturbed.

(Elizabeth, where are you now? What should I do...?)

"Don't jump to conclusions lightly, Ryder will definitely come up with a way to destroy the foul beast..."

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Lilithmon pretended to be calm and said.

"On the surface, he has been avoiding attacks, but in fact he has been observing the attack methods of the dirty beast. As long as he finds a flaw, he can counterattack at the right time..."

Maybe it's self-consolation, but Lilithmon still believes that Ryder can succeed.After all, he is his partner...

Using the stone pillars as cover, Ryder moved back and forth in the arena to dodge the frenzied pursuit of the Ithaca beast.But because the few remaining stone pillars were all smashed and collapsed, the meat scythes thrown by the beasts were smashed, and the entire arena became dilapidated.

"Lilith Beast, immediately use the auxiliary spell to double the speed of my body's movement time! There is no time to think about the side effects!!"

Sure enough, Ryder thought of a way.But the human body has a limited ability to bear it, and using too much dark power to assist Ryder will only place a great burden on his body.

"Understood, but the maximum maintenance time is 3 minutes..."

There is no objection, Lilithmon can only assist Ryder dutifully.

"Isn't it the last chance?"

Even the holy angel beast could see that Ryder was going to fight with his back.

"Ryder, for Mina's sake, don't lose..."

Lucy can only pray that Ryder succeeds.

Chanting the mantra again, Lilithmon used the dark power to greatly strengthen Ryder's action time.

The time limit is 3 minutes——

As Lilith Beast chanted the spell, Ryder's body suddenly felt intense discomfort, causing him to temporarily stop his actions.

In just a few seconds, the sarcoid sickle thrown out by Itaka Obscenity flew aggressively towards the prey ahead.Endured by a strong sense of nausea, Ryder clenched his teeth, dodged the attack of the sarcoid sickle with an almost unbelievable speed, and quickly jumped to its back, slashing the Ithaca foul beast three times. hit.

"So fast……"

Showing a slightly surprised expression, Lucy sighed.For an ordinary human, Ryder was so fast that she couldn't even see his movements with her eyes.

"It was Lilith Beast's strengthening spell that worked, but the side effects of the spell must have made Ryder very uncomfortable."

Basty Beast said softly.For Digimon, she can see every move of Ryder; Ryder, he, has been patient.

Ithaca's attack method is crazy and monotonous. Thanks to Lilith's enhanced assistance, Ryder can calmly use guerrilla tactics to deal with the sarcoma scythe whistling in front of him.However, it must be eliminated within 3 minutes...

After avoiding the attack of the sarcoid sickle again, Ryder went around to the enemy's side or back for a sneak attack again.

Dodge and sneak attack, just these two simple methods make Ryder's situation more favorable.At this moment, the pale and wet body of Ithaka Obscene Beast was also scarred and scarred by the slash of the light-bladed sword.

But for dangerous places, any accident can happen.

Just when Ryder dodged the attack again and went around behind the enemy for a sneak attack, Ithaka Obscenity suddenly plunged its hand into the tumor, then pulled out a tumor from the sickle, and threw it to the ground.

With the sound of the explosion, Ryder was blown away by the aftermath of the explosion in the flesh-colored dust.

"...um...cough..."

Ryder, who was blown away by the aftermath of the explosion, rolled on the ground a few times, and immediately stood up quickly.Thanks to Lilithmon's incantation, which played a big role, except for a little more minor injuries on the body, there is no serious problem.But there was pain everywhere in the body, and the nausea increased.

Of course, the crazy 'mad dog' will not let Ryder go.This time, Itaca raised the sarcoma sickle with both hands, it kept jumping, and crazily smashed the sarcoma sickle at Ryder.He even twirled his body, throwing the sarcoma on the sickle, deliberately launching a second explosion all over his body.

"Ryder, the time limit is only 1 minute left!!"

Counting the time, Lilith Beast anxiously reminded Ryder that time is running out!

"Haha, I hope this is the last madness..."

Smiling wryly, Ryder made one final adventure.

"Here I am, come on, monster!"

Provoking the Itaka Grim Beast, Ryder faced the enemy head-on.

Facing the roar and slashing madly of Ithaca, Ryder seemed to be dancing on the tip of a knife.A series of flesh-colored sickles smashed past, but only hit his phantom.

However, the sharp blade of the sarcoid sickle turned into light and flashed across Ryder's eyes, and the wind of the knife that appeared with it cut off the floating bangs, and the hair scattered on the dilapidated ground.

But the chances of the Ithaca Obscene Beast giving him such a slash were few and far between. There was a cold light in Ryder's eyes, and it was time to end it.

In order to knock down the opponent before he jumped, Ryder rushed forward with a single-handed sword in his right hand.After avoiding the slash of the sarcoid sickle, Ryder circled around to the back of the Ithaca for the last time.Then, he concentrated all his strength on the light-bladed hand sword.

Time limit 15 seconds——

Accompanied by the final slash, the Itaka Obscenity let out a piercing scream.It fell down uncontrollably, behind the filthy beast, dark blood flowers burst, and then bloomed.

In the end, the pale alien zombie turned into white dust and dissipated in the air, brushing Ryder's cheek.In the arena, there are no crazy and ugly beasts.

The time is just right...

"Not bad! Although you lack experience, you are indeed brave and resourceful."

Applauding, the black orc Garuru was delighted with Ryder's victory.

"It's really worthy of being one of the chosen ones."

"...Haha, I'm really flattered, but should you also fulfill your promise...?"

The auxiliary effect disappeared, and under the influence of the side effects, pain and fatigue instantly swept through the whole body. Ryder braced his body to prevent himself from staggering and falling, but the staggering pace already explained everything.

"Don't look at me with distrust, I'm very honest."

Under the suspicious eyes of Lilithmon, Basdimon and others, the Black Orc Garuruluo said helplessly.Then, he took out a gem-like key and set it in the cage's mechanism.

The ring cage began to descend steadily to the ground, and the barrier that trapped Lucy and Bastymon disappeared.

"This is the map of the castle, don't lose it."

Finally, Garuru the Black Orc threw a scroll over.

"Hey! Who is the messenger who ordered you behind the scenes? We have the right to know everything...Damn it! You actually left without authorization!"

Originally, there were more questions and wanted to confront the Black Orc Garuru face to face, but the other party disappeared from everyone's eyes again without authorization.Anyway, Bustymon's expression is really unpleasant.

"Well, it seems that we have to explore on our own."

The barrier surrounding the arena disappeared, and the isolated Lilithmon and Holy Angelmon, as well as Nereus, were approaching one after another.Lucy sighed softly, then looked at Ryder with a smile.

"You did a good job! 'The Flash,' I hope Mina sees your heroic side."

"Hehe, my heroic side is not limited to this. Woo..."

With a painful expression on his face, Ryder's body suddenly lost his balance and fell down.

"Ryder!"

Supporting his body in time, Lilithmon showed a worried expression.

"...Sorry for leaving you alone to fight the dangerous filthy beast."

"Okay, don't show such an expression, Lilithmon. Letting the beautiful lady 'cry' because of me will only make me 'sinful'."

There was a slight cold sweat on his forehead, but Ryder's slightly pale face showed a mischievous smile.

"Don't worry honey, I'm just a little tired..."

"Oh, if you let Lilithmon kiss you, your fatigue will definitely recover quickly."

Lucy also joked about Ryder's 'nature'.

"Lucy, it's better to pay attention if there are children present. We should let the holy angel beast treat Ryder."

Taking a peek at the blushing Nereus, Bastymon reminded Lucy to pay attention to the situation.

"I really wish you could talk later, Bustymon..."

Lilith, who was considering taking this opportunity to kiss her partner lightly, looked at her friend resentfully, all her beautiful fantasies were shattered.

"...Forget it, Holy Angel Beast, use your healing power to heal Ryder."

When Lilith Beast was reminding the Holy Angel Beast to heal Ryder, everyone did not see the Holy Angel Beast.

"Holy Angel Beast...?"

Without any warning, the holy angel beast disappeared, as if it had never existed...
