Chapter 170: Isolation; Guarded by 'family affection'

I still remember the promise of that day.

That was what happened one day 10 years ago.

Before my mother died, my father was still busy with work as usual and rarely came home; Even if you don't go for a whole month, it's commonplace. Even when he returned to his family, he was only faced with a wife who was dissatisfied with the status quo and often made trouble. And the children who are always crying and have no meaning at all. Although he hates his family, his father has always been dutiful and has always borne the obligation of being the head of the family.

As usual, the parents quarreled again, and angry scolding rang out in the house from time to time. Until the quarrel ended, my mother, who only cared about work, left the house again. The next time I go home, it will be a month away

But the difference is that after Dad is busy with work and goes out to leave home, Mom cries longer than in the past; As if she had encountered something terrible, her expression broke down a little, and her eyes darkened.

"I'm not suitable at all."

"I'm fed up with this kind of life, that person is not at all"

The mother, with a dazed expression, stood in place, muttering to herself. Even when the children looked at her with worried and scared expressions, the mother did not react.

"What's wrong with Mom?"

Zhenghao, who was still a child, didn't want to see his mother continue to collapse, and after comforting his young sister to stop crying, he mustered up the courage to walk to his mother's side.

Compared with herself, her younger sister is actually more afraid of what her mother looks like now.

"Is it because I've done something bad?"

Grabbing the corner of his mother's skirt, Zhenghao looked at her timidly and said.

"I've tried my best to be a good brother, oh look, Yabei didn't cry anymore."

"Mom, don't be sad, I promise to be a good boy and not be too naughty"

“”

Hearing the child's words, the mother lowered her head and looked at Zhenghao who was grabbing the corner of her skirt with dull eyes. It was sad, as if giving up all the eyes.

"Mom?"

The hand holding the dress was thrown away, and Jeongho looked at his mother in confusion.

"Mom! Wait a minute!! Don't go!! ”

"Mom!!"

Then, the mother walked out of the house with a lot of luggage that she would never carry when she went out, and ignored the cries of the children.

Until the door of the entrance closes and the moment he can't see his mother's figure, everything is imprinted in Jeongho's mind.

Since then, Mom has never returned.

In the empty house, my sister kept crying. Although I usually cry a little, this is the first time I have cried sadly like that.

Zhenghao, who is both a boy and an older brother, has no leisure time to cry sadly, and he can't cry with a stubborn personality. It is the brother's responsibility to comfort and take care of the annoying sister.

Why me? Why do you have a sister? Why does my brother have to take care of my sister? If only that annoying sister wasn't there! I've had enough of her!!

Jungho doesn't like having a sister of his own, and taking care of his sister alone is even more tired of such a bad life, and always hopes that his sister will disappear.

Therefore, Jungho, who is tired of taking care of Yabei, has a worse attitude towards his sister day by day. My sister cries every day and wants to see her mother, no matter how she comforts her, she still impatiently tells the truth about her mother's runaway, and life is still so repetitive.

It's been five days since my mother left.

Even if the refrigerator has enough ingredients to last for a while, Zhenghao has already lost faith in the 'hellish' life.

I want to find my mother, and I don't want to take care of my sister alone. The younger sister who makes a lot of noise during the day will only settle down at night. So, while Yabei was asleep, Jeongho left home alone.

Summoning up courage and self-esteem, Jeongho tells himself that he is not one of those timid ordinary children, and he is not cowardly at all. Walking towards the nearest station, my mother's hometown is a little far away, but I know the direction, and the pocket money in my hand should be enough to pay the fare.

Jeong-ho innocently thought that it would be nice if he could find his mother's home before the last train.

As a result, the pocket money was simply not enough to pay the fare, and his hopes were in vain

With a depressed mood, Zhenghao can only return along the road.

※※※※※

When he got home, Jeongho found out that his sister was gone.

Perhaps believing that her mother would return, her sister placed a note on the table showing a distorted font.

'Mom, I'm going to find my brother, don't worry. ’

Jeongho immediately regretted that he should have been by his sister's side instead of looking for a mother who abandoned his child.

After all, Yabei is his own sister, and Zhenghao is not happy because of his sister's 'disappearance', and even hopes that his sister will disappear completely, but he is very remorseful and uncomfortable.

My parents are gone, and the only one who can protect my sister is myself.

Although I don't know where Yabei has gone, I can only guess the scope of her frequent actions.

So, the first thing that comes to Jeongho's mind is the park where his sister usually goes to play.

The silence of the park in the middle of the night is easily reminiscent of a terrible cemetery. In the sparsely populated square, the street lamps flickered dimly, adding to the darkness and silence.

Thankfully, Jeongho soon spotted his sister, who was sitting on the swing and swaying slightly, sobbing softly.

"Yabei!!"

Jeongho shouted excitedly and ran over.

"Brother"

Seeing her brother appear, my sister's crying became louder.

"Brother!!"

"Stupid! Why did you sneak out?! Don't know I'm worried about you?! You're going to give me trouble!! ”

Jeongho angrily scolded his sister, his expression was very fierce, and it seemed that he was really angry.

"Woo, I'm sorry!!"

The angry appearance also frightened my sister.

"My brother disappeared suddenly, and I was afraid that my brother abandoned me like my mother!!"

My younger sister has always been afraid of her family leaving her, and it must be a terrible thing if her mother is gone, and her brother, who is the only one who accompanies her, also leaves.

"Brother, don't leave me like Mom! I don't want to be alone anymore."

"So stay with me"

Grabbing his brother's hand, Yabei cried.

"Don't cry all the time"

Being pleaded by his sister's crying, Jeongho showed an embarrassed expression, and a sense of guilt appeared inexplicably in his heart.

The crying sister is his biggest weakness.

"I'm not going to abandon my sister."

Wiping away his sister's tears with his hands, Jeong-ho smiled embarrassedly.

"Of course, the duty of the elder brother is to protect the younger sister. So I will never abandon you, I promise! ”

Jungho made a promise to his sister.

Although it was just a trivial matter, Zhenghao, who wanted to accompany and protect his sister, still made an agreement

So, 'stupid sister', don't die easily. I will not forget the promise of that day, let alone abandon it

※※※※※

The biochemical Beelzebub (Mashiro Osawa) is struggling towards its destination. Even if the castle expands and changes due to the influence of the power of the Lord of Calamity, he will not be mistaken about his destination.

The passage seems to stretch forward indefinitely, and it is just a boring means for the enemy to keep delaying time by creating distance. Of course, there are limits to what you can do. And, Biochemical Beelzebub's instincts tell you that you're close to the end.

Soon, Biochemical Beelzebub finally reached the end of the corridor that seemed to stretch infinitely, standing in front of the gate.

On the other side of this gate, it must be the 'Lord of Calamity'. My sister and the boy are inside, and they must be safe.

Believing them, the Biochemical Beelzebub didn't hesitate to reach out and push towards the door. Contrary to predictions, the door was opened with ease.

"What--?!"

What he sees is a future that has been realized.

―1―

[□□□□□□□□―――！！！ ]

With a creepy groan, Auguston's limbs began to twist. As it screamed in pain, the Ogudum broke its chains with its powerful obsession.

[Kill you!!] Kill you!! ]

The chains snapped, and the Ogudon barely escaped from the baptism of the four strongest attacks.

[Hah!] Ha, ha, ha! ]

Augustumon laughed.

Noticing its own miserable condition, it regained its rationality a little. How ugly and miserable I am. Transformed into an alien monster, the Agodumon can only bring endless pain.

If you endure these pains in order to realize your great ideals, what are your own pains? No matter how much pain it is, Ogudumon (Lightmon) is willing to bear it.

It doesn't matter anymore if it's ugly, miserable, miserable, or what the appearance becomes.

Reason fades away, and the mind is completely dominated by the impulse of destruction. You can still fight, and you can kill and torture yourself, yes, you must first use the power of 'evil'

"Everyone! Be careful not to be affected by the power of evil!! ”

The Alphamon, sensing the anomaly, immediately alerted its companions.

A creepy glow suddenly shot out from the darkness above everyone's heads. In an instant, the space was distorted.

Waves of dark aurora continued to spread into the crooked space, heading straight for the Alpha Beasts.

"What is this?!"

A chill swept through its body, and Lilithmon felt a wave of nausea. Just by being irradiated by the dark aurora waves, you can feel an absolute negative consciousness, and this malice is eroding you.

Her body was suppressed by 'malice', and the heavy atmosphere almost made her breathless, and her physical strength and energy were decreasing.

"What the hell is this pressure, Uncle Ben's physical strength is decreasing!"

Feeling that its physical strength was decreasing, the Fallen Hellbeast grumbled in annoyance, and a shadow suddenly appeared overhead. Looking up, he saw that the huge feet of the Agudu Beast were trampling towards the four of them.

When did it come about?! Without any warning at all!

"Danger!"

There was no time to dodge the stampede attack of the seven huge claws of the Ogudumon, and I am afraid that the current Ogudumon has regained some reason and knows how to use teleportation.

Putting away the dragon sword, the Alphamon stretched out his hands and focused all his strength on defense; Suddenly, a huge golden-green sigil appeared, turning into a protective shield to resist the trampling attacks of the Ogudu Beast. His stamina and energy are decreasing, but his defense against attacks is not a big problem.

"I'll help you!"

Aiding the Alphamon, Lilithmon chanted a spell and began to strengthen the defensive emblem.

"Yabei, what are you doing in a daze! Don't hesitate to support us with cards! Damn it! Why isn't there any sound!? ”

The Fallen Hellmon tried to concentrate on communicating with Yabei several times, but could not hear anything. It is as if an invisible force is interfering with and hindering the exchange of information.

"Hey! Bram Vampire Beast, it's almost time to use your goddamn special abilities to delay your enemies! Oh! Damn it!! ”

It was hoped that the vampire would be able to delay the Agodumon, but Bram's vampire figure vanished, and instead a large swarm of black bats flew away in different directions.

"Oh no!!"

The Fallen Hellbeast, who was about to curse, heard Lilithmon's stunned voice.

The sound of something breaking sounded, and under the frantic trampling of the Alpha Beast, the Alpha Beast's protective barrier was directly shattered.

"Hmm--"

In addition to Bram's vampire monsters, Alphamon and Lilithmon, who were scattered around in a swarm of bats, and the bodies of the Fallen Hellmons were trampled and squeezed by the huge claws of Ogudumon at the same time.

- I can't break free.

Despite all the Alphamon's best efforts to break free, its body remained immobile. The pressure also increases, and the pressure in the chest becomes unbearable.

Without armor, Lilith reluctantly chanted incantations, strengthening her defenses against the Fallen Hellbeast. The protection of the incantation had only a temporary effect, and her expression became more and more painful.

The Fallen Hellmon still struggled to break free, but even if it struggled with all its might, it didn't seem to be able to match the strength of the Ogudumon, and it could only remain oppressed, unable to move.

If the oppression continues, it is easy to foresee the fate of the future.

At this time, the scattered bat swarm began to gather towards the rear of the Ogudumon, and the black bat swarm quickly turned into a human form and reverted to the form of Bram Vampire.

Watching his companion trampled by the Augustumon, Bram Vampire Beast focused.

[―――？！ ]

The Agodumon, which was trampling its enemies, encountered an incredible situation, and its claws were involuntarily moving, lifting up and spreading, not at all under its control.

"Ahem! Now is the time!! ”

While Bram Vampire Beast was using its special abilities, Alphamon immediately pulled Lilithmon and Fallen Hell Beast with both hands to quickly get out of the trampling range of Ogudumon.

But at that moment, an anomaly appeared.

"Force Power"

Before he could prepare to fight back, the light of the data overflowed from his body, and his body gradually became smaller.

"Degraded?!"

That's right, the strength is not exhausted, but the body is inexplicably degraded.

The Black Diplomon looked at its claws suspiciously, its expression shocked and angry.

"Oh no, the enchantment is gone"

Due to the degeneration of Alphamon into a multi-way beast, the spherical barrier that restricted Agoudum disappeared.

Without the obstacle of the spherical barrier, the dark aurora wave continued to spread, and the skew of the space expanded. Until the dark aurora disappeared, the entire space appeared with multiple distortions. The 'free' Ogudumon relied on the only remaining reason to appear above Kaye and the others, and the seven eyes of its lower body stared at them without emotion. It is impossible to communicate with consciousness, but anyone can see that everyone is very uneasy.

"Ryder !!"

Realizing that his partner was in danger of his life, the Hemdilummon panicked and ran in the direction of his human partner.

Translucent walls of red checkered patterns appeared, mercilessly blocking them out.

The Hemdilummon clung its claws against the wall, and all it could do was the unique cold feel of the wall. Even if it poured all its strength into its claws without reservation, and slammed the damn wall with resentment, the almost masochistic act was exchanged for the pain of the claws colliding with the wall.

"Damn! If only it could evolve!! ”

Kicking the wall that blocked him, the little demon beast glared fiercely at the Ogudu beast on the other side, and the partners were still in the protective shield, but the safety was only temporary.

"Woo, the power is still there, it's not that it can't evolve. Augustumon distorts space, completely hampering D-ark's functionality. ”

Despite its agitation, the multi-way beast calmly analyzed. The function of D-ark is completely hindered, which means that it cannot evolve. unless

(No, even if it's guaranteed, I don't want Kaye to sacrifice them.) ）

Shaking its head, the multiwaymon denied its idea.

"Ahh The shield is gone!! Bastard, that guy is too late!! ”

Seeing that the protective shield protecting his partners disappeared, the little demon beast screamed in panic, and then, he noticed the figure of the biochemical Beelzebub beast appearing from the other side.

That guy came so late!

"Damn, I can't see it!"

Crimson appeared, completely covering the wall, and the Darkrumon could no longer see what was going on on the other side of the wall.

"Biochemical Beelzebub must be protecting everyone. Bram Vampire Beast, will it be able to destroy the wall as soon as possible? ”

I'm afraid that the biochemical Beelzebub beast won't be able to support it for too long, and the only one who maintains its ultimate form is the Bram Vampire Monster. So, the multi-way beast pinned its hopes on him.

"Let's pray that a cruel fate has not befallen you."

Maybe there's no need to worry about the time, Bram Vampire Beasts know exactly what the end will be.

A dark glow spread behind him, and hundreds of spears appeared as if they had been fished out of the water.

Then, countless magic guns shot out like machine guns; A large number of magic guns, consisting of hundreds, thousands, are constantly attacking the crimson walls.

※※※※※

On the other hand, noticing that D-ark was unable to perform any functions, watching his partners suddenly degenerate and be isolated to the other side of the wall, and the appearance of Ogudumon, Yabei felt like he was on the verge of collapse.

"What do we do now?! D-ark is completely unusable! Little monsters, they've been isolated to the other side of the wall! ”

Not knowing what to do at all, Yabei watched with some horror as the Agudu Beast was looking at everyone with terrifying eyes.

"Chill, calm down! Only Bram Vampire Beast has not degenerated, he must be trying to find a way to destroy the wall. The shield is very safe, and the attacks of the Ogudum will not be affected. ”

Despite his fear, Kaye reluctantly comforted Yabei.

"Even if you say that, it's not worth believing at all!!"

"Yabei, it's okay until the end, we shouldn't give up hope."

Comforting Yabei softly, Mina's tone was very gentle.

"Don't forget that your loved ones are waiting for everyone's return. We have crossed to the last step, and no matter what adversity it is, we will not give in easily. ”

"Everybody's come to their senses."

"Mina"

Thanks to Mina's convincing comfort, Yabei calmed down.

"Haha, 'Miss' is very convincing, so that the cute junior calmed down quickly."

With a relaxed expression, Ryder smiled.

"Even if you die, you won't be alone."

"Ryder, don't say those disturbing words!"

It's a joke, but it's very realistic; Kaye still hoped that Ryder wouldn't say anything disturbing.

"Well, I'd love to joke, but you'd better pay attention to the condition of the shield."

Spreading his hands, Ryder said helplessly.

"How so!"

The distorted power of the space continued, not a physical attack, and under the influence of the unreasonable distorted force, the shield began to crumble and disintegrate. The metal mechanical sphere surrounding the protective cover emitted a "sizzle" electric sound and malfunctioned. The metal sphere fell to the ground and ceased to function completely.

The fatal weakness has been exposed.

"Ahh!!h

The disappearance of the shield meant the arrival of the time of death, and Yabei exclaimed.

"Yabei!"

With Abei behind her, Mina would not allow Ogudumon to harm her.

[□□□□□□□□―――！！！ ]

Surprisingly, instead of attacking them, the Agoudum made a painful but indistinct sound.

It seems to be struggling with something.

[□□□□□□□！ ]

"Didn't attack?"

Kaye gave a surprised expression.

"Daddy! Is it Daddy?! ”

Realizing something, Yabei shouted at the Agudu.

[□□□□□□―――！！！ ]

Killing intent reappeared.

"Hey! Your goal is over here!! ”

With a familiar sound, a powerful beam of red energy blasted into the head of the Oguduni.

The powerful blast of energy sent the Agoudum back a few steps.

"Brother!!"

Seeing his brother appear, Yabei showed a overjoyed expression.

"It's Jeongho-kun!"

Seeing the Biochemical Beelzebub Beast appear, Kaye was also very surprised.

"Please be careful, Zhenghao-kun, the Agudu Beast is very powerful!"

"Is this disgusting creature going to devour? It's really unpleasant."

As with the foreseen future, the Ogudumon in front of him is the monster that the devoured daddy has turned into. It's really infuriating that your family is being played with like this!

"Hey, Daddy, you must not have completely disappeared, this form is really self-inflicted. But I'm sure you're still sober now."

Biochemical Beelzebub smiled wryly.

"It's okay, we will definitely rescue you, you haven't 'atoned for your mistakes' yet"

Just take a gamble.
