The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

Volume VII: Black Sun Knight (1)

While walking out of the corridor of ice, Elizabeth and the others felt a strong dizziness again.After that, the scenery around the group changed considerably.No, perhaps it should be said that the original scenery has been restored.The cold disappeared, and the surroundings changed back to the eerie inner corridors of the castle.

All the frozen areas just now disappeared like phantoms.

Looking around, after confirming the surrounding situation and whether any of his companions were forcibly separated again, Ryder, who was looking at the map, stepped forward again aiming at the front.

After a while, Elizabeth and the others came to a subspace competition hall.When everyone saw the figure of the red-haired girl, everyone stopped in unison.

It was Mina, and besides her, there was Bram Vampire, and a strange Digimon that was tightly entwined by a stretched dog.

"Mina!!"

Seeing her best friend again, Lucy first ran to her and hugged her body tightly.

"Oh! It's great to see you're fine, we're worried about what happened to you!"

Lucy's tone was a little excited, it's great to see that her best friend is gone.

"Actually, I hope you are safe and sound."

Shaking her head lightly, Mina showed a gentle smile.

"It seems that what the sage beast said is right, you have indeed reunited with us."

Then, Lilithmon, Melvamon, and Elizabeth, who was holding the unconscious Nereus, came over.As for Ryder who came together, he didn't speak after seeing Mina, but had a hesitant expression.

"Elizabeth, thank you for helping everyone..."

Looking at Elizabeth holding the Bright Beast in her arms, Mina smiled lightly.

"He must be what you call a friend."

"This bright beast is called Nereus. Don't look at him as weak on the surface. The little boy is actually very strong. He has helped us resolve crises several times~"

Walking up to Lucy, Melvamon praised the Bright Beast named Nereus.

"Ability and responsibility have an equal relationship with identity."

After taking a meaningful look at the Bram Vampire, Elizabeth looked at Mina again.

"Mina, Bram Vampire, we have a very important truth to tell you, and you have the right to know."

"Is it the connection between the world of 'Analogous Tree' and the 'Guardian', as well as the 'Black Holy Grail' and the 'Enemies'?"

"You already know?!"

Mina's answer surprised everyone.

"Actually, I found an important notebook in a research room, which recorded a lot of important information. I can roughly understand it."

Regardless of the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Mina took out a notebook.

"Uh, it's full of words from the digital world, do you understand it completely? Wow, as expected of my best friend, she's always been very knowledgeable."

Lucy, who took the notes and flipped the pages casually, praised her friend's intelligence.Even if it corresponds to letters, the characters in the digital world will not be learned in a short time.

"Show me, your lazy attitude is not suitable for learning written knowledge."

Taking the note in Lucy's hand, Lilithmon looked through it.

"The handwriting is really scribbled, the content inside is basically the same as what the Sage Beast told us..."

"You should thank me. It was my arrangement for these two little girls to be sent to the research room of the sage beast and the ice and snow space. Well, after all, I will compete with my former best friend. I don't want others to get involved. and."

At this time, the Mercury beast who was entangled by the magic dog suddenly said.

"Oh, my wish is completely over. My best friend, give me the last blow, let me die quickly!"

"Are you the Black Orc Garuru?"

For the 'ignored' Mercurymon, Lucy and Melvamon, and Lilithmon looked at him unkindly.

"It's me, ladies."

"Don't worry, you won't die. After we interrogated Sagemon, he gave your Digicore to Elizabeth."

Pretending to be disgusted, Lilithmon said the best words for Mercurymon.

"What?! Then I'm free?!"

"Looks like the Sage Beast did the right thing. Congratulations, Bram Vampire Beast."

For her partner's former best friend to be rescued, Mina is happy for Bram Vampire.

"You are very lucky, Mercury. Remember today's 'defeat', I will always surpass you after all."

With the corner of its mouth slightly raised, the Bram vampire monster lifted the curse on the Mercury beast and the magic gun.

"as long as you are happy……"

Do you just like to ridicule me so much about the relief of your best friend?Mercury Beast has a little resentment.

"The digital core is safe, don't worry."

Under the watchful eyes of the Bram Vampire Beast, Elizabeth temporarily handed over the unconscious Nereusto to Lucy, and then took out a bright red Digicore from the bag and handed it to Mercury Beast.

"Finally free..."

Putting the Digi-Core into its chest, Mercurymon has a very relaxed expression.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, it's a perfect ending! In return, I will join you and fight against the monster city lord!"

"Oh, congratulations! But it doesn't mean you've been forgiven for your previous faux pas to the girls!!"

As if he was obsessed with the plot against himself and Lucy before, just as Mercurymon put the Digicore back into its body, Melvamon slammed the snake arm on its left wrist towards Mercurymon's face.

"Hey, I'm still wounded!"

The face is very painful, and the hands are really heavy!The Mercurymon protests against the violence of the Melvamon.

"Oh, you have such a strong face. I can't help but punch you again!"

"Enough, now we should get down to business."

Seeing that there was about to be a dispute between Melva and Mercury, Elizabeth immediately stopped it.

"That's right... Bram's vampire beast hasn't fully understood the truth yet."

Just when Mina was about to reveal his true identity, she was interrupted by Elizabeth's words.

"Mina, let me explain that matter to him. Compared with you, I know more about the situation in the world of the 'Naoshengshu' and everything about the 'Earl'."

"Now, you can untie the second knot. Don't regret losing important things again, hurry up."

Looking at Ryder with a slightly embarrassed expression, Elizabeth said to Mina earnestly.

"You guys need some private time."

"All right……"

Respect is worse than obedience, and Mina, who trusted Elizabeth, followed her advice.

"You can actually let the stubborn girl untie her knot. I'm really impressed with you."

Watching towards Redmina, Lilithmon sighed slightly.

"Although I'm a bit unwilling, if they can reconcile, Ryder won't have to continue to 'suffer'."

"She was very similar to my sister who passed away, I just don't want to see her suffer the same fate as my sister."

Elizabeth's tone was slightly bitter.

"Oh, it feels like my status has dropped a bit as a friend."

Lucy felt a little sorry.

When Elizabeth told Bram the vampire monster the important truth, Ryder and Mina who were alone showed a hesitant expression at the same time, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Wow, it's great that you're gone. I'd be in so much pain losing you."

Still his nature has not changed, Ryder who spoke first pretended to be frivolous.

"We haven't communicated for a year. I'm really flattered that you can take the initiative to face me. Hehe, after all, it's my own fault to deceive you."

His smile was bitter.

"Mina..."

At this moment, Mina hugged Ryder tightly without saying a word.Regarding the girl's behavior, Ryder couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, and stood there blankly.

"I'm very sorry……"

Mina's faint self-reproach came from Ryder's ear.

"Sorry, I have always selectively ignored the true feelings of important friends. The disaster a year ago has always made me blame myself and suffer."

"Actually, I don't want you to have another accident because of me..."

For Mina's apology, Ryder couldn't think of it anyway.He was speechless for a while, and he spoke after a while.

"From the first time I came to the digital world, I have been used to accidents. If accidents are destined, even without you, they will happen."

"After Nereus wakes up, I will ask him to send you back to the human world. Let us hunt down the city lord, and I will never let you become a 'vessel'!"

There is no doubt that Ryder was not joking, but answered seriously.

"No, this accident is still caused by me. If I leave Castlevania, the city lord will notice it immediately, and may become angry and kill you! No matter where I am, he can immediately catch me back, and even hurt me More innocent people."

Shaking her head slightly, Mina refuses to run away from her future.

"Ryder, we have all experienced despair and witnessed miracles. Therefore, I will not escape, and I will still fight side by side with everyone. Just like a year ago..."

"Haha, maybe I'll continue to 'trick' you. Will you forgive me?"

With a wry smile, Ryder, who knew Mina well, understood her awareness.

"I won't give you another chance."

Ryder felt her hug get tighter.

"Promise me, if I really become a 'vessel', even my own existence will disappear completely. I hope you can give up on me, or kill me for the purpose of liberation. In short, don't try to give up life."

"You can really embarrass me."

Totally unacceptable choice.

"This is my hope. Indeed, if you can't even make a choice, let the Bram Vampire Demon replace you to set me free. If he is, he will definitely choose the latter..."

Mina pointed it out, tenderly but brutally.

"Oh, then I can only believe that a miracle happened."

Ryder could only pray secretly in his heart.Mina's hug gave Ryder a brief moment of comfort.

"Wow, it looks like she's completely untied..."

Lucy and Melwamon were a little surprised to see Mina hugging Ryder tightly.

"I hope Ryder doesn't take too many risks for her."

Lilith Beast was helpless.

"Ugh..."

There was a slight thud in his arms, and Nereus seemed to wake up.

"Hi, little boy. Feeling better?"

Seeing that Nereus opened his eyes, the Merwa beast on the side expressed concern.

"I... uh, sorry!"

Seeing himself being hugged in Lucy's arms, Nereus blushed.

"I'm fine, thank you for taking care of me."

A little nervously leaving Lucy's arms, Nereus thanked the kind 'big sisters', and then looked around.

Except for the holy angel beast, everyone is here, but there is also a strange Digimon.

"Everyone is finally gathered. But who is this Mercury beast? I don't see him in the list that my mother told me. Is he a new companion?"

"Me? Of course a new comrade-in-arms, kid."

Hearing Nereus mention him, Mercury shifted his attention.

"In addition to my old friend, I also often observe you. The projection bow and arrow weapon is really a very powerful ability. It can directly destroy the golem of the sage beast, but no one can easily do it."

"I am very optimistic about you, kid, and I will leave the battle to you. You must teach the monster city master a lesson!"

Admiring Nereus' ability, Mercurymon praised him.

"thanks……"

Nereus was a little embarrassed to be praised by an unfamiliar Digimon with a rough personality.

"Oh, Nereus is certainly capable. So we don't need you to hold us back!"

Continue to be disliked by Melwamon.How careful!

"You are awake, Nereus. How are you?"

After finishing the conversation with Bram Vampire Beast, Elizabeth approached and asked Nereus with concern.

"I'm fine, Elizabeth."

Being cared by Elizabeth, Nereus smiled happily.

"How did Bram Vampire react? He doesn't care at all, does he?"

For an old friend who knows his true identity, Mercurymon knows his character well.

"You really know him well. Although he doesn't care about his true identity, he still has the absolute intention to kill the 'Earl' for the sake of his important partner."

Sighing lightly, Elizabeth looked at Mina who understood the happy knot.

"If the contract between the partners has not been terminated, maybe he can listen to my opinion."

Bram Vampire, you must not kill 'Count'.For Mina, or yourself, otherwise everything is irreparable.I can only try to prevent disasters in your world, but I will not let my hometown face destruction...
