Chapter Seventy-Nine: Shadows of Darkness, Ruins Duel.

At the fork in the road, the depth of the passage on the left is completely different from the one on the right.

On the ground paved with blue-gray stone bricks, the new demon beast carried two young girls and scurried down the narrow stone staircase inside.

Running up nearly 100 steps, he came to a rectangular platform in the middle. On both sides of the platform are pillars made of blue-gray boulders, and the stone lampposts at the four corners are lit up by vigorous flames. Whether it is the stone pillars, torches, or floor tiles, they are all carved with mysterious patterns. The road ahead was still endless, and as far as the eye could see, the front of the staircase down disappeared into darkness. The vast space was silent, only the sound of breathing and the friction of clothes caused a faint echo in the empty corridor, and the dim sky light and the light of the torches overlapped on the ground to create cascading shadows, adding a touch of horror to the already dull atmosphere. Coupled with the cold air in the temple, one can't help but feel terror.

"It's a weird atmosphere."

Yabei swallowed.

"According to the cliché plot in the game, strange places will seal the existence of evil"

"Idiot! Don't say useless words, don't forget that it was Uncle Ben who ran away with the two of you. ”

Unable to stand the side of his partner off the line, on the way to escape, the new demon beast complained.

"Yes, yes! I'll just keep quiet! ”

After a brief silence, the new demon beast continued to descend for a short distance, and finally entered a square stone gate side by side. Behind the door is an empty foyer, littered with fragments of stone bricks of various sizes, but a cross-shaped passage can be seen hanging in the air underfoot. At the intersection there is a stone, one-man high, flowerbed-like square pedestal. There were stairs on the left and on the right, but they had collapsed, and we had to go straight through a stone arch with more ornate columns on both sides.

Behind the door was a large gallery with a high ceiling, on which hung two black, massive, spiky chandeliers resembling some kind of round dwarf, with thick black chains. This corridor differs from the previous staircase in that it is flanked by large round-bottomed stone pillars, although more than half of them have been broken from them, and the remains are scattered irregularly all around. A few steps higher than the two sides, there was a long red carpet of delicately woven silk embroidered with strange fluorescent blue charms on both sides, and a dignified dark red that had faded over the years.

Walking through the corridor, I passed through a pointed arch with a strange threshold, and before me appeared a stone staircase similar to the previous one, but much more wide. They climbed dozens of steps along the road, and when they finally reached the end, their eyes suddenly opened up, but then they were deeply shocked by what they saw

At the top of the staircase, an extremely large deep patio appeared in front of me, which was filled with a thick fog that made it impossible to see the end. An ominous purple-red glow spread from the ground, and a thick white mist shone throughout, rendering the mist a hazy light purple. It is surrounded by swirling stone staircases and wooden staircases that lead down to the depths of mist and darkness.

"It's a weird place."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yabei was a little hesitant whether he should move on.

"A three-dimensional cave that stretches all the way to the ground? It seems to have been built like the Yellow Springs Road leading to 'Purgatory', just to get close to the demons sleeping in the abyss."

Mina muttered to herself, then she shook her head gently and said to Yabei.

"Now is not the time to care about this, Yabei, please let the new demon beast block the stone gate, maybe you can delay the enemy's pursuit time more."

"Okay! Card Swap! Zutunmon! Deadly Hammer! ”

After the card swap, Yabei began to call his partner.

"New Demon Beast, smash the stone gate!"

"Cut, it's really going to make Uncle Summon"

A wave of data and energy began to gather in the hands of the new demonic beast, and soon, a metal hammer appeared in the hand.

Holding a metal hammer in his hand, the new demon beast flew above the stone gate, and he mustered the strength of his whole body, raised his arm high and slammed it down against the stone gate. With a loud bang, the stone door was smashed and shattered, and the rubble fell one after another, blocking the entire entrance.

"Okay, let's go down now, maybe we will get an unexpected result."

Looking at the stone staircase leading to the depths of darkness, in the midst of tension, Yabei's mood was inexplicably a little more than a little expectation. She felt that there must be something in the depths of the darkness that could help everyone.

"Perhaps, but it's better to be careful about sneaking in."

Yabei's instincts have always been accurate, and that's what Ryder told Mina. Therefore, Yabei still recognizes her ability.

"A new species of demon beast, I'm going to continue to trouble you. Thank you for keeping us safe. ”

"Hey, hey! Don't say such respectful words, Uncle Ben was also forced by that idiot girl! ”

The other party is not frank at all.

"I can't stand being thanked for something"

"Wouldn't it be nice to be thanked? Sa~~ Continue to fly into the depths with us! Our safety depends on you. ”

Yabei's attitude towards his partner is very direct.

―1―

The new demon beast still flew down cautiously with the two girls in its arms, and the black fog kept getting worse, and the more it flew down, the darker it became. This level of darkness is nothing to a Dark Digimon. Still, there's one thing worth caring about for the new demon beasts.

"This breath"

In the black mist, the new species of demonic beast had a strange feeling, a feeling that could not be described, but it was very familiar, as if something was calling to it.

At this moment, the surrounding scene suddenly turned into an empty white space.

"Power gets power"

(Whose voice is that?) This is)

As the new demon beast listened, the scene around him suddenly changed, and he saw an apparition. It's more immersive than it

This is a battle that is nearing its end.

The black ** king and the white knight in the red cloak continued to fight each other, both of them were scarred, but the anger revealed in their eyes was the same. “

"You sold your soul to a demon for power, and I will never forgive you for such an existence!"

The White Knight pointed his spear at the Black King.

"Can't forgive my existence? You're saying you can't forgive my existence, are you? Let's wait until you beat me! ”

The claws of the Black ** King flashed with a chilling metallic light, and his forward body instantly activated, rushing towards the white knight.

"I'm going to tear you apart!! You traitor who has taken refuge in the hypocrites!! ”

It was supposed to be a good fight, but in the end? The black demon king was hit by a purifying beam released by the white knight's left wrist holy shield 'Aegis', causing his body to be unable to move. In the end, the chest of the black ** king was pierced by the spear of the white knight.

- It's so useless to be destroyed by him like this, what is it? ――

The new demon beast thought to himself, but at the same time as he saw the white knight piercing the chest of the black ** king with his spear. Why do you feel the same pain as the Black ** King?

What makes it care is not pain, but strong unwillingness and inexplicable humiliation.

It's weird

"Farewell, former friend."

The White Knight's voice was very calm, but his tone was mixed with a little sadness.

"If you're not the Demon King"

"Uncle Ben doesn't have a friend like you"

The black ** king's eyes were full of hatred, and he glared at the white knight.

"Don't think that this will end, and one day, Uncle Ben will give this shame"

Before the words of hatred were finished, the Black ** King began to dissipate, turning into a purple-black digital egg full of dark aura.

- That guy really thinks that if it were Uncle Ben, I would definitely defeat him! ――

I don't know why I'm angry, anyway, the new demon beast is very unhappy with the white knight.

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled"

The voice rang out again. The new species of demonic beast is invisible, and the White Knight and Digi Egg have disappeared without a trace.

- I'm so annoyed, what's the use of complaining all the time! If you're not willing, figure it out yourself! ――

The new demon beast said impatiently.

"I'm not strong enough, if I have the strength, I won't lose"

――If you don't have strength, you can become stronger on your own! ――

"Does being strong mean having power?"

- Yes, if you become stronger, you will be able to defeat the enemy if you have the strength. ――

"For what to bring down the enemy"

- This uncle doesn't care so much, the enemy will be defeated anyway! ――

Not knowing how to answer, the new demonic beast just said according to its own thoughts. As for the voice, it is very familiar, but I don't know who it is. Talking into the air feels like a fool.

Could it be that he was infected by that idiot partner?

"A new species of demonic beast! What are you in a daze!? ”

Yabei's voice woke him up suddenly.

"We've reached the bottom!"

It was dim, and the white space it had been before was long gone.

(What was that?) ）

The new demon beast was skeptical.

"Of course Uncle Ben knows! You're noisy! ”

"What, I'm worried about you."

Yabei didn't like his partner's reaction and left angrily.

"The blocked signal, and the weird black fog may have something to do with this"

At the lowest level of darkness, there is only one altar. There was a purple-black sphere of energy floating on the altar, and the sphere exuded a furious aura. Occasionally, there is an electric current sound. Mina looked at the orb of energy on the altar and spoke her mind.

"What the hell is this sphere? It feels like the furious aura is very similar to that of a new demon beast. ”

Yabei also looked at the sphere.

"If the orb is destroyed, maybe Mina will be able to communicate with her partner in D-ark. Hey, new demon beasts, destroy the orbs! ”

"Uncle Ben won't do it!"

The other party immediately vetoed it, still confused in his heart.

(It's strange, why does this sphere have the breath of Uncle Ben?) ）

"I agree with the idea of a new species of demonic beast, the energy sphere is very violent, and if it is destroyed casually, there is a high possibility that it will explode. For the sake of safety, it is better to observe first. ”

Mina convinces Yabei to give up the idea of destroying the orb, after all, the presence on the altar is really suspicious.

"I'm joking, don't worry too much"

Realizing that he had spoken, Yabei hurriedly changed the subject.

"In that case, we can first observe if there are any other mechanisms on the ground floor, and maybe we will find a secret way out of the ruins."

"Idiot"

The new demon beast still despises its partner.

"It's a shame that your good luck ends here!"

An eerie voice suddenly sounded overhead, and the biochemical Baalmon and its subordinate Kizzmon suddenly appeared.

"Caught up with us so quickly"

Looking at the biochemical Baalmon, Yabei pursed his mouth unwillingly.

"You underestimate my strength too much, how can the stone gate blocked by rubble help us?"

Biochemical Baalmon said with contempt.

"This time, you can't escape."

"Yabei! Swipe your card to help your partner fight! Don't grind! ”

Knowing that the fight was inevitable and didn't waste words with the other party, Mina directly reminded her to let her partner fight immediately.

"Understood! Card Swap! Build a T at high speed! Card Swap! Move at high speed! Card Swap! Reinforcement component W! ”

Under Mina's reminder, Yabei quickly drew cards.

"A new species of demonic beast! Destroy all the Kizzmon first, and reduce the nuisance! Finally in the assault on the biochemical Baalmon! ”

"Let's see the strength of Uncle Ben!!"

Before the enemy could react, the new demon beast turned into a gray afterimage and disappeared. In just a short moment, a vague shadow appeared behind two of the Kizz beasts, and the golden sharp claws that they swung out made a wind sound like a demon scream, and the necks of the two Kizz beasts were instantly cut off and their heads were lost.

"Two—"

With a kick that kicked away the headless body of the Kizzmon, he rushed to the three Kizzmon next to him, and let out another scream.

"Five-"

In the midst of the shouting, the three Kizzmon next to them were also shaved off their necks by the gray afterimage.

"It's your turn at last!"

After destroying all five Kizmon, the new species of demonmon finally targeted Baalmon. Perhaps it was because he was too fast to respond, and the biochemical Baalmon turned its back to the new demon beast, its sharp claws piercing through its body. This shot is unassailable in terms of speed and time, and the destructive power is enough to inflict serious damage on the biochemical Baalmon. By the time he realized that the touch was wrong, and that all he saw was a human figure made up of countless pages, and that he had been scattered by the attack just now, it was too late.

"Is it a clone?!"

The new species of demonic beast was very unexpected. As if he had a will of his own, the pages wrapped the entire body of the new demon beast into an enchantment ball composed of countless pages, trapping him completely in the sphere.

"Do you think I'm going to be beaten? Idiot! ”

The suddenly disappeared Baalmon appeared, taunting the new demon beast trapped by the pages, and next to him floated an open red ancient book, the clone technique just now was from the power of the ancient book.

"Do you cheat with props!? If it's cheating, I won't throw in the towel! ”

Seeing that his partner was trapped in a sphere composed of pages, Yabei pulled out the doppelganger card.

"Card Swap! Doppelganger! Card Swap! Attack component H! ”

With the card swapping, the trapped new demonmon disappeared without a trace, and the back of the biochemical Baalmon reappeared. The biochemical Baalmon twisted its neck and chased after the sudden disappearance of the enemy. No, just as he was about to turn, his body had already taken a blow from the side and flew into the sky.

"Ahh

The blow from the side was powerful enough to send the Bio-Baalmon's body several meters away, and then slammed into the wall.

"It's very kind."

The biochemical Baalmon was buried between the collapsed walls, and its eyes glared at the new demon beast and Yabei with resentment, the blow just now was really painful. He stood up slowly, his expression becoming hideous.

"I'm going to get serious"

"Kiezmon! All of them are dispatched! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, about ten more Kizzmon appeared.

"Do you think Uncle Ben will be afraid! There's a kind of coming! ”

The new demon beast shouted.

"As long as I have a card, I won't lose!"

Because Mina's card is really strong, Yabei is full of confidence, and according to this momentum, he will definitely win.

"Yabei, don't rely too much on power cards, the more powerful the card, the greater the burden, you must pay attention to the physical burden of your partner."

Seeing that Yabei relied too much on the power card, Mina reminded again. Four of the five cards she had just swiped were powerful at the cost of draining the physical strength of her partner Digimon, and Mina had a sense of foreboding when she looked at the new Demon Beast that was busy fighting Kizmon on the battlefield and the Biochemical Baalmon who did not attack immediately but only watched from the sidelines.

(The other party shouldn't want to deliberately let Yabei swipe the card to consume the physical strength of the new demon beast, right?) And then defeat him while he has no strength? ）

"The enemy is my brother, and of course I know what he thinks."

Yabei's voice interrupted Mina's thoughts, and she smiled confidently.

"So, I'm not going to let him get his way."

"A new species of demonic beast! Lure the Kizzmon to the Biochemical Baalmon! By the way, capture the thief and capture the king first! Don't let him use his men to deliberately drain your stamina to make a final attack on you! ”

"If you don't say it, Uncle Ben knows it!"

The partners have a good understanding of each other, and the new demon beast certainly knows the importance of defeating the enemy leader, and it will only waste time and energy to keep entanglement with the trash fish.

"Then let's try it!"

The red book floating beside the biochemical Baalmon flipped the pages quickly, and mysterious power was released from the book. Under the influence of the mysterious power, the dark fog spread from top to bottom throughout the battlefield, and the originally dim hall became even darker, and the five fingers could not be seen.

"It's dark! I can't see anything at all! ”

In the darkness, there was the grumbling of Yabei.

"Calm down, Yabei, in the dark, it should be more beneficial to your partner. So, trust him. ”

Compared to Yabei, Mina was much calmer and comforted her.

On the battlefield. The new demon beast cautiously watched the movements around it, and soon discovered the movement of the biochemical Baalmon, so he rushed forward, however, the Kizz beasts immediately cast a beam of destruction, blocking his path, and the new demon beast had to take a defensive position, not daring to slack off for a moment to avoid the attacks of the Kizz mon.

On the other hand, the biochemical Baalmon kept a long distance from the new demon beast, and at the same time fired round after round of bullet rain at him, and the new demon beast was passive for a moment.

"It seems like you're not used to this kind of fight, but I'm not going to show mercy to you."

The Biochemical Baalmon spoke to the new demon beast with a smirk.

Ignoring the other party's provocative words, to be precise, he didn't have the kung fu to pay attention, the new species had just dodged the laser of the Kizz beast, and before he could catch his breath, he didn't know where to fly from the long whip to attack. Even if you fly into the air, it will not be easy to dodge the attacks of the ten Kizzmon. However, the new species of demonmon overlooks the last thing to ignore, and that is the biochemical Baalmon.

"Looks like you don't even have a chance to speak. Okay, I'll show you something! ”

Seeing the action of the biochemical Baalmon's explosive flash, the new demon beast was shocked, and secretly screamed in his heart. However, it was too late, and a round of attacks like a wild storm roared, and the new demon beast was hit against the wall, and it looked like it was not lightly injured

However, the attack did not end, as the Kizzmon seemed to know that the defenses of the new demon beast had been broken, and fired a destructive ray at him as he fell against the wall, followed by a huge explosion
