Chapter 123: Defend the homeland and stop the royal knights

"Just like that, not long after I met your father, I was banished into the labyrinth of another dimension by Igudo Lahir. It took several days to return to the human world from the labyrinth of different dimensions, but at that time, the digital world appeared above the human world. ”

After telling everyone the truth of the matter, Julia paused slightly and continued.

"I also just learned the true identity of the wizard beast yesterday, one of the royal knights."

"That's right, if this happens, I think you'll definitely go to the Digital World to find Igudo Rahir, but I'm just in time"

A cold sweat broke out on its forehead, and the wizard beast added through the pain.

"So, Kaye Kaie, Akita Osawa. It is precisely because Kamijokai is alive that we still have the last hope to stop Osawa. But until then, I'll convey Kamijomi's words to "

"Is this true?!! Daddy he's still alive?!! ”

Julia's words were abruptly interrupted by the girl's voice, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Jen and Sakura standing in front of the stairs leading to the exit. Sakura looked at Julia with tears in her eyes.

"Julia, Ahai, is he really alive?"

Jane looked at Julia and asked softly.

"Yes."

Julia nodded subconsciously.

"Ah Hai, he has always missed you Jane, so I will convey his words to you."

Slightly embarrassed, Julia did not forget about Kamijo's commission and conveyed his words to Jane and Kaye, as well as Sakura

※※※※※

In the secret base, Kaye and his family left for a while. After a hard day's work, the little monster and the black dilumon are resting. Ryder is trying to use the communicator to communicate with Mina, who is in the digital world, but due to the poor signal, the communication does not go smoothly. Julia, on the other hand, continues to supervise Yaan and Nami in their usual work.

"Kaye's dad is still alive, will he really give up when dad finds out?"

Looking at the unfinished hot tea in the cup, Yabei fell into deep thought.

"Ahai is your father's most important friend, have faith, little girl."

Seeing that Yabei was still depressed, Li Jianyu comforted Yabei.

"I hope so, I always feel that my dad will be blackened to the end"

Yabei subconsciously felt that his father would not give up just because his friend was still alive.

"Little girl, don't be too negative, no matter how big the difficulty is, you have to face it positively, the mentality is the most important thing."

The kind-hearted Li Jianyu continued to inspire her.

"Oh"

It's a pity that the effect is not very obvious, and Yabei did not recover his spirits. Li Jianyu had no choice but to sigh lightly and shake his head. Indeed, it is really difficult to get a little girl to regain her spirits in such a situation.

"Hehe, I don't look like you if I continue to be low, Yabei."

Ryder, who had finished his communications, walked over.

"If you were in the same mood as me, you wouldn't think so."

Yabei White Eye.

"Oh, oh~~ It's not, I'm as negative as you."

"Don't come to this set!! It's normal for Mina to reject your boring sweet words!! ”

Knowing what Ryder was trying to say, Yabei Huoda interrupted him.

"Haha, aren't you very energetic now?"

Ryder chuckled wickedly.

"Well, I was tricked"

Feeling the 'malice' of Ryder's smile, Yabei glared at him angrily. However, the negative mood has been alleviated a lot.

"Everyone."

At this time, Julia looked at everyone in the rest, and said with a straight face.

"As you know, our homeland is facing a crisis at any moment as a result of Igudo Rahir's decision. Even if the city's residents are moving to a suitable shelter, it is only a temporary relief. ”

That's why I hope you think about what to do now. That's all I can say. ”

"But what are Captain Julia's plans?"

Knowing the current situation, Yabei asked.

"Of course, to protect your home first, together with the wizard beasts"

Julia is eager to find Osawa and stop him. Or find a way to save Ah Hai from the prison of the World Tree.

"Find Daddy, or find a way to save Kaye's Daddy from Igudo Rahir!"

Like Julia, Yabei had the same thoughts as her, but she expressed them directly.

"Actually, when I was in contact with Mina, she got information that Osawa was still in the digital world, and it was up to Mina to find Osawa's hiding place. She wants us to stop the Royal Knights from attacking the human world. ”

Ryder added.

"So, we should just wait for the arrival of the royal knights, and then settle with them."

Hadilumon agrees with Mina, and she will definitely play more roles in the Digital World.

"Besides, Igudo Rahir will not directly intervene in the management of the world, but let the royal knights carry out the orders they have given instead. Even if the Royal Knight is eliminated, it won't do much. ”

"Cut, if only we can beat all the royal knights."

The little demon beast leaning on the back of the chair opened its eyes and spoke in a disdainful tone.

"Not all royal knights will follow Igudo Rahir's orders, as long as they don't betray it."

Glancing at the bandaged wizardmon, the Hedilumon continued.

"As far as I know, the royal knights don't have a concept of co-op fighting unless it's particularly necessary. If we fight alone, we will have a chance to win. ”

"Hedilummon, have you thought of any way to deal with one of the royal knights?"

Ryder has a lot of trust in his partner's abilities.

"Maybe it's going to be on the spot, I think, that royal knight will take the initiative to fight me."

Thinking of a certain knight with whom he had a bad relationship a long time ago, the smile of the black dilummon was slightly bitter.

However, just then, an alarm sounded at the terminal that detected the Digimon's information.

"Captain Julia, there's a Digimon reaction in the sky northeast of the Harbor Area!"

Ya'an, who operated the terminal, immediately reported.

"It's so fast"

Julia, with a slightly reluctant expression, trotted to the terminal.

"This strength is really a royal knight"

"Not good! In the neighborhood area, the residential area, and the sports arena, there was a strong Digimon reaction!! ”

Watching the energy reactions of the four Ultimate Digimon displayed on the terminal screen, Nami let out an exclamation.

"Are there four royal knights at the same time?"

Ryder frowned slightly, there were only three Digimon that could evolve into the ultimate body, and the Wizardmon was still wounded and could not participate in the battle yet. And Li Jianyu and Ya'an and Nami, the partners have also evolved to a complete body at most, and they can't compete with the royal knights at all.

"Kaye's home is in a residential area, I'll contact Kaye now!"

Opening DHT's liaison, Yabei was a little flustered and contacted Kaye.

"Ryder, you and Yabei go to the street district and the sports arena to deal with the enemy respectively, and the enemy in the harbor area will be dealt with by me."

Without waiting for Julia's objections, the injured wizard beast made its own decision.

"Wait, Wizard Beast! You're still wounded! ”

Julia doesn't want injured wizard beasts to get involved in the fight.

"As a member of the royal knights, I also have my responsibility for the disasters that have befallen the human world."

Shaking his head, the wizard beast's eyes were very determined.

"The royal knights who came to the digital world probably also have acquaintances of mine. Please, Julia."

"Captain Julia, grant the wizard beast's request."

The Hemdilummon also defended the Wizardmon.

"It's a bit rude, but as the elder of your humans, the wizard beast and I know the royal knight best. With our current situation, it is impossible to deal with four royal knights at the same time, at least the wizard beast, one of the royal knights, is also considered a good combat power. ”

"Also, if you deal with an acquaintance who is really a wizard beast, you will also be able to reduce the damage when you fight. After all, the infighting between the royal knights was not glorious for them. ”

The golden eyes of the Black Dillumon stared at Julia with a serious expression.

"Alright, make up your mind, Captain Julia. Don't live up to the hopes of the wizard beasts to protect the human world. ”

"Okay, I see"

After a moment's hesitation, Julia agreed to the wizard beast's request.

―1―

In the living room of the Kamijo family, Kaye and the multi-way beast sit at the table with Jane and Sakura, interacting with each other.

"Ahai, I have never resented you because of your departure, and I love you"

Looking at the frame of the family photo placed on the low cabinet, Jen had a sad and joyful expression on her face as she recalled Julia's words to convey through Ahai. Those beautiful eyes were full of crystal tears.

"It's great that you're alive"

"Mom"

Watching tears slide down Jane's cheeks, Kaye felt a little sad.

"I'm fine."

At this time, as if she had just come to her senses, Jane lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands.

"Well, brother. If you go to the Digital World again, can you get Daddy out? ”

Sakura turned her head, her eyes staring straight at Kaye.

"Well, I'll definitely find a way to save my father."

Nodding, Kaye made up his mind.

"I didn't see my daughter grow up, Dad is too cunning, so, brother, you and the multi-way beast must rescue Dad."

In my memory, except for the photo of my father, Sakura has never seen the appearance of my father himself. So she really wanted to see her father in person.

"No problem, the multi-way beast will rescue Daddy with Kaye!"

The awakened multi-way beast looked at Sakura and smiled.

"Kaye, I'm glad you had the consciousness to save Ahai, but"

- Even Ah Hai doesn't want you to risk your life to fight. ――

Before Jane's words could be spoken, Kaye's liaison suddenly sounded Yabei's impatient voice.

[Kaye!] Where are you now?! There's a royal knight in the residential area! The enemy is near your home!! ]

"I'm at home right now"

[Then hurry up and use the D-ark to find the enemy and fight, Aunt and Sakura are also by your side, so don't implicate them.] ]

[Okay, Ryder and I are going to the sports arena and the street district to take down the royal knights, so hurry up.] ]

After speaking, Yabei quickly cut off contact.

"Mom, Sakura, I'm going to fight with the multi-way beast, so try not to leave your home. We will protect you. ”

Worried about the family being implicated, Kaye hopes that the two will not leave the house.

"Kaye, multi-way beast, you must be careful, too."

Knowing that her child was about to take part in a dangerous battle, Jane's face couldn't help but be stained with a touch of sadness, but it was quickly replaced by a faint smile.

Showing a sad expression will only make Kaye worry about adding to the burden.

"We will!"

With that, Kaye and the Dormon leave their home.

"Kaye, let me evolve now! Let's take down the royal knights together! ”

Outside, Kaye nodded after looking down at the multi-way beast's gaze and meeting Kaye's.

If humans and Digimon work together, they will be able to defeat a Royal Knight.

Kaye thought so, because that's how the mighty Belfimon was defeated.

Kaye was so sure.

※※※※※

The sky turned reddish, and the people had fled without a trace.

The wind was blowing, the city was almost destroyed, and the buildings were reduced to rubble.

Something flashed in the darkness of the city, and then loud noises and tremors were heard.

The children of DHT are fighting for their homeland.

In the sky above the harbor area, an elegant humanoid knight Digimon with a pink theme condescendingly surveys the city that is almost in ruins.

The human world is even more fragile than imagined. It is precisely because of the smallness of humanity and the great threat it poses to the digital world that Igudo Rashi will give the order to punish the human world.

"Wait! Sword Emperor Beast! ”

The voice of his best friend came from the ground, and the Sword Emperor Beast subconsciously lowered its head, only to see the Wizard Beast and the human partner appear in front of him.

"It's a wizard beast, it's great that you're still alive."

Upon learning that his best friend had disobeyed the royal knight and had been attacked by Omegamon, the Sword Emperor felt a little relieved about his undead best friend. He knew that his best friend wouldn't die easily.

"Sword Emperor Beast, please don't attack the human world again."

Facing his best friend, the wizard beast pleaded.

"Igudo Rahi has given the order to punish the human world, and we royal knights are only on a mission."

For the request of the best friend, the Sword Emperor Beast did not have any accommodating intentions.

"Even if it's to warn humanity, sacrificing so many innocent lives is not a righteous act."

The Wizardmon negates the actions of the Royal Knight.

"Wizard Beast, I think you're also very aware of the sins committed by humans."

Shaking its head regretfully, the Sword Emperor Beast was a little disappointed with its best friend's attitude.

"The first to poison the innocent Digimon is the human."

"Yes, I don't deny that. But the extreme behavior of individuals is not representative of the entire group. ”

The Wizard Beast argued.

"But Igudo Rahi doesn't seem to want to trust humans anymore."

The Sword Emperor Beast replied.

"My dear friend, I don't want to hurt you. So, please get out of here, I'm following Igudorahi's orders. ”

Not wanting his best friend to be at war because of a conflict, the Sword Emperor Beast persuaded the Wizard Beast to leave this place.

"I'm so sorry, I've made up my mind to protect this place."

Softly rejecting his best friend's kindness, the wizard beast's eyes were very determined.

"Julia, I'll take care of the Sword Emperor Beast."

"Wizard Beast, I see, don't be too forceful."

This is an internal feud that belongs to the royal knights, and Julia, who respects the choice of partner, can only agree with the hope of the wizard beast.

"Thank you all the time, it's really nice to be with you"

The Wizardmon's body emitted a faint light, and its size slowly grew larger, and when the light disappeared, it reappeared in front of Julia's eyes in its true form.

"Now I may face the worst, so please don't feel sorry for me"

Despite its evolution, Dunasmon's body is still scarred.

"Dunasmon, are you crazy? He was going to fight me with his wounded body. ”

Faced with the Dunas Beast that had already made up its mind, the Sword Emperor Beast was also surprised.

"Why? Why are you, a member of the Royal Knights, on the side of the humans? ”

"As Igudorahi said, humans may be stupid and arrogant creatures, but they are capable of correcting their mistakes. I believe in the possibilities of humanity."

Dunas Beast smiled, blue light waves shining in the palms of its hands, and after raising its speed to the limit, the blue spherical energy wave with amazing destructive power struck towards the Sword Emperor Beast.

"Stop! Dunasmon! The infighting between the royal knights is very dishonorable! ”

The Sword Emperor Beast, which had no intention of fighting Dunasmon, only dodged with its extremely high speed, or used the shield in its hand and the sword on its body to block the energy waves that could not be dodged.

"I'm serious, Sword Emperor Beast. I want you to be able to leave the human world. ”

Dunasmon's expression then became serious, and it continued to blast at the Sword Emperor Beast with the light waves released from his palm.

"You've changed, Dunasmon."

Retracting its friendly attitude, the Sword Emperor Beast's tone was a little more cold.

"In that case, I'll correct your mistakes."

The pink afterimage flashed, and the Sword Emperor suddenly rushed in front of Dunasmon, wielding four golden swords equipped on its chest and shoulders with dazzling and gorgeous movements, attacking Dunasmon.

"Whew"

Dunas Beast let out a mournful sound, the Sword Emperor Beast was almost teleported, and the four swords kept slashing towards Dunas Beast, and the Dunas Beast, which still had old wounds, could not see the afterimage of the Sword Emperor Beast at all, so it could only let the Sword Emperor Beast keep attacking, and Dunas Beast's body suddenly added new scars.

Before the sword could be attacked, the golden shield in his right hand slammed mercilessly into Dunasmon's abdomen, sending out an explosion.

It was obviously much larger than the Sword Emperor Beast, but the smaller Sword Emperor Beast used the heavy blow from the golden shield to knock Dunas several meters away.

Dunas were almost buried in the rubble, slumping on the remains of the building. He had a pained expression on his face as a result of the blow to his abdomen.

"What a pity, Dunasmon. If you hadn't been seriously injured, you wouldn't have been overwhelmed by an attack of my magnitude right now. ”

Looking at his best friend who had fallen on the wreckage of the building, the Sword Emperor Beast said in a regretful tone.

"But don't worry, Dunasmon. I am merciful and will never harm your life. ”

"When the mission is over, I will personally send you back to the Digital World, and ask Igudo Rahir to forgive you."

"Is it Sword Emperor Beast?"

The bruised Dunas Beast slowly raised its head with great difficulty, looking at its best friend, its voice full of bitterness.

"Thank you for always thinking of me, my dear friend"

With that, Dunas closed its eyes and seemed to fall into a coma.

"Unconscious? Then rest for a while, Dunasmon. ”

Seeing that his best friend was unconscious, the Sword Emperor Beast was much more relieved, and therefore relaxed its vigilance, after all, there was no need to continue the pointless battle with Dunas Beast now.

Then he turned around and prepared to continue the execution of the fate given by Igudo Rahir.

At this moment, Dunas Beast, who was supposed to be unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, and he suddenly rushed towards the Sword Emperor Beast, which had his back to him and relaxed his vigilance. Stretching out his arms, he tightly held the Sword Emperor Beast's body from behind, making him unable to move.

"Dunasmon, you!!"

The Sword Emperor Beast didn't expect Dunas to pretend to be unconscious and attack while he was letting his guard down.

"Julia, the future of the Digital and Human Worlds, please"

With a faint smile, Dunas proclaimed.

"The children of DHT are the saviors chosen by the ancient ancestors, and the four of them will definitely be able to do it."

After saying that, Dunas Beast flew into the air with the Sword Emperor Beast. Then, a blinding blue light erupted from his entire body.

"Dunas Beast !!"

Julia quickly understood that Dunas wanted to sacrifice herself.

"Stop!! Dunasmon!! ”

No matter how much the Sword Emperor Beast struggled, it couldn't break free from his best friend's arms, and he let out a sound twisted by anxiety.

"I'm sorry, Sword Emperor Beast"

Apologetic softly, a huge amount of energy was released. The self-detonating blow unleashed by Dunasmon at the risk of death was simply a persistent thought.

The dazzling light from the explosion completely covered Julia's vision, and everything in front of her seemed to be engulfed in pure white.

After the light faded, Julia regained her sight to find that Dunas and Sword Emperor had long since disappeared.

“”

The sacrifice of her partner caused Julia to fall into deep self-blame.

"Dunasmon, I will never fail to live up to your hopes for humanity"

Dunasmon's choice was not a meaningless sacrifice, Julia thought to herself. The blow that poured all his heart into it could not be meaningless.

But the mood was terrible. The pain in my chest was much more uncomfortable than I had imagined. When she learned of Hai's death ten years ago, Julia's heart was also painful.

That's why I feel sad.

But the past will never change, and her partner is full of trust and expectation for humans, and Julia can't live up to Dunasmon's hopes.
