Ten. The sacrifice of the Holy Angel Beast

As usual, the Divine Angelmon interacted with its friends.

However, this exchange is no longer about daily life and ideals for the future. It's the care and encouragement of friends for the Divine Angel Beast.

"The first time I took on a heavy responsibility, it made me a little nervous."

Looking at the sacred ring given to him by the Divine Celestial Maiden Beast in his hand, the Divine Angel Beast felt a little nervous in his heart.

This ring was given to him by the Divine Maiden Beast herself. It is said that during the war a thousand years ago, it was worn by the main angel beast, which was second only to the 'Three Angels', and could enhance or sense divine power.

"Lord Divine Celestial Beast trusts you very much, so she has entrusted this important task to you. Don't let her down what she expects of you. ”

The Celestial Maiden Beast said earnestly.

"Of course I do"

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

Slashing Angelmon encouraged his friend and smiled.

"You've always wanted to contribute to the City of Angels, and now you've got it. Retrieving the Digi Egg of Lord Cherubimon is a task that concerns the future of the City of Angels. ”

"I'm sure you'll be able to make it."

"yes, I should be confident."

The opportunity I was hoping for had finally arrived, so how could I let the uneasiness of the unknown disturb my mind?

"By the way, Holy Angel Beast, it's better for you to be careful on the way to the mission."

As if thinking of something, the Celestial Maiden reminded him.

"It's not easy to retrieve the DigiEgg from the Vampire Beast, but you have what it takes to defeat him. Be careful with his special abilities, though. ”

"Special abilities?"

The Holy Angelmon asked.

"yes, after all, that vampire was one of the few Digimon that survived the war of the last millennium. It is said that he has a special power that is difficult to entangle, and it is not known what effect that power has. ”

"Anyway, the 'little character' who can let cherubimon deal with it alone shows that he is not simple. I'm sure you've heard of his evil deeds as well, right? ”

At the mention of vampire monsters, everyone had a look of disgust on their faces.

"Heinous tyrant anyway. Divine Angel Beast, if you destroy him, you can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven. ”

Slash Angelmon said.

"I will definitely complete the important task entrusted to me by the Divine Celestial Maiden Beast!"

Very firm answer.

"Sorry, I'm late."

At this moment, the Ice Wizardmon walked over.

"No, it's not too late~"

Seeing the arrival of the Ice Wizardmon, the attitude of the Celestial Maiden was very gentle, and if it was a different Digimon, it must be treated harshly.

"What's the card you're holding?"

Slash Angelmon notices a stack of cards in the Ice Wizardmon's hand.

"It's a tarot card, used for divination."

The Ice Wizard Beast said flatly.

"I stumbled upon it when I was sorting out the books, and I thought I could use the future divination of the Divine Angel Beast as a hint, so I brought it here."

"The Holy Angel Beast is on a dangerous mission tomorrow, I'll try to divinate it for you."

"Thank you."

It's really nice to be cared for by friends.

"Nothing, I'd like to try it out for the first time."

Pulling the brim of its hat, the Ice Wizard Beast said.

"Hey, Ice Wizard Beast, how should I do divination?"

The Celestial Maiden was curious.

"I'll give it a try"

The first time I used tarot cards to divinate a friend, the Ice Wizard Beast was not very sure. Of course, divination is nothing more than entertainment.

As he spoke, the Ice Wizardmon shuffled the tarot cards, then placed them on the table and spread them out on the back, and said to the Divine Angelmon.

"Divine Angel Beast, keep your mind calm first, draw four cards with your feelings, don't turn them over."

At his request, the Divine Angelmon drew four tarot cards with his senses. The Ice Sorcermon then arranged the four tarot cards he had chosen into a formation that resembled a cross.

"Alright, let's start with the bottom one, then turn it over from left to right, and finally turn over the top tarot card."

The Ice Wizardmon began to remind.

The formation placed by the tarot is actually a 'diamond unfolding', with the lower one representing the past, the middle two on the left and right representing the present, and the upper one representing the future.

The Holy Angelmon first turned over the tarot cards below, which represented the past.

No. III - Queen, upright.

"Queen, your past is very happy. There is success, gain, and a carefree life. Growing up in a good environment and being exposed to art. ”

"Aren't all the people of the City of Angels living like this? Of course there will be happiness. ”

The words of slashing the angel beast were completely inappropriate, and they were dissatisfied with the celestial beast.

"It's just divination, there's nothing to worry about."

"Let's go ahead"

The Ice Wizard Beast said helplessly, and the Divine Angel Beast turned over the second tarot card that represented the present.

No. XII - Hanged upside down, in position.

"It seems like your mission is limited by something, but you know why. Reconfirm your goals and get ready. Even the worst of the situation is just a grind, and bad luck will always pass. ”

Ice Sorcermon explains the meaning of the second tarot card.

"Well, the mission is blocked, maybe the vampire monster will hinder me."

The Divine Angelmon intends to prepare its mind in advance.

"Let's move on to the next one."

He opened the third one on the right, which still represents the present day.

No. VII - Chariot, Upright.

"No matter how difficult the future may be, you will stand up for what you believe in, and you will be in control of your own destiny and that of those around you. So, you will overcome obstacles and succeed because of hard work. ”

"It's a good card! Overcoming obstacles to success. ”

Slashing Angelmon is a pleasure.

"Haha, I believe that justice will prevail."

Because of the tarot cards of the chariot, the Holy Angelmon has doubled its confidence in carrying out the mission.

"And the last tarot card that represents the future, I think it's also a good ending."

The Celestial Maiden also smiled with relief.

"Let's open the last one."

"Okay."

The last tarot card representing the future is turned over by the Divine Angelmon.

No. XIII - Death, upright.

What a very bad symbol.

"Ugh"

The Ice Wizard Beast looked at the Divine Angel Beast a little hesitantly, do you want to interpret it?

"What's wrong, Ice Wizard Beast?"

The Celestial Maiden asked strangely.

"It's a bad card"

"It's okay, I'm still curious."

The Divine Angel Beast said.

"You will face the fate of death and the parting you once had"

"Why does the future represent death?! Didn't the previous one say that you would overcome obstacles and succeed!? ”

Hearing that his friend's future fate represents death, Slashing Angel Beast was a little excited.

"It's useless for you to be angry at the Ice Wizard Beast, it's not his fault at all!"

Slashing Angel Beast that was angry at the Ice Wizard Beast, the Celestial Maiden Beast was not to be outdone.

"Calm down!"

The Divine Angel Beast hurriedly stopped the two, he didn't want his friends to quarrel over trivial matters.

"Divination is only for entertainment, you don't have to take it too seriously."

"I'm sorry for letting you draw a bad card and affect everyone's mood."

The Ice Wizard Beast apologized a little frustrated.

"You don't need to apologize, Ice Wizard Beast, divination for me is also out of kindness."

The Holy Angelmon in turn comforted the Ice Wizardmon.

"Whatever the outcome of the divination is, I don't care. Thank you for thinking of me, and I won't regret even if I die to accomplish my mission. ”

"After all, Digimon will be reborn after death, so it's better to experience life again."

Very optimistic attitude.

"Holy Angel Beast, you don't have to say such unlucky words. Whether it's strength or brains, you have excellent grades, how can you die. ”

Slash the Angelmon against his friend and say death without permission.

"So, after the mission is completed, you must come back as soon as possible! Don't let us worry! ”

The Celestial Maiden Beast also had a tough tone.

"We'll wait for you to come back."

Putting away the tarot cards, the Ice Wizardmon prayed that the Holy Angelmon would complete its mission safely.

"Thank you, everyone."

The Divine Angel Beast smiled.

"I'll be fine, so you don't have to worry about me."

"When I complete my mission, I'll be sure to bring back the Digi-Egg of Lord Cherubimon."

―1―

Argosmon continues to frantically attack vampire monsters, whether it's a giant fist like a meteor or a red beam full of destructive power

, in order to dodge a wide range of attacks, the vampire beast showed a slightly tired expression.

In fact, he was also full of confusion, and he couldn't understand why the girl named Mina suddenly got the strange machine and her strength was restored. At the same time, the vampire beast felt that there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding and like-mindedness between herself and her.

"Vampire Beast, I'm here to help you!"

At this moment, the Divine Angel Beast flew over.

"Why don't you protect that little human girl? Hypocritical angels. Even you can't be an enemy of your enemies. ”

Seeing the Divine Angel Beast, the Vampire Demon Beast frowned slightly and said dissatisfied.

"Mina asked me to come over"

The Divine Angel Beast replied calmly.

"She wants me to help you. And it is also a miracle of Mina's power to free you from the thorns of Argosmon and restore you to your original state. ”

"She's using that miraculous power to assist you right now."

"Miracle?"

The vampire beast didn't believe in the so-called miracle, and if it was a normal thing, he would definitely mock the other party with such ridiculous words. can

Yes, since the encounter with that little human girl, and the machine she has gained by expressing her beliefs, that power has given way to herself

When the strength has been restored. Vampire Monster wasn't wondering if the alleged miracle was really ridiculous

His red eyes glanced at the top floor of the tall building where Mina stood, and he could see the girl's determined expression, as well as the machines and cards in her hands.

Maybe it's the role of this strange machine that helps me.

But why did the machine help itself instead of the Divine Angel Beast? Compared to a dark Digimon like himself, God

Angelomon should be more qualified for miraculous powers.

This is something that the vampire beast never understands.

"Bastard Angel, you're here too."

Argosmon's tone was filled with resentment when he noticed the Divine Angelmon.

"I'm going to wipe you out completely!"

"Argosmon, you are indeed strong, but we have not given up hope that this time, we will definitely win!"

Believing in Mina's abilities, the voice of the Divine Angelmon was full of confidence.

"Ridiculous! Then I will destroy your hope!! ”

As he spoke, Argosmon attacked the Divine Angelmon first. Compared to Vampire Monsters, Angelic Digimon is even more disgusting.

"Card Swap! High-speed component H, attack component N! Card Swap! Energy Transfer! Half of the power is transferred to the Divine Angelmon! ”

Seeing Argosmon's heavy punch roaring towards the Divine Angel Beast, Mina quickly swiped the card that increased speed and strength to enhance the power of the Vampire Demon Beast, and then used the energy transfer card to transfer half of the power of the auxiliary Vampire Demon Beast to the Holy Angel Beast.

The machine's screen glowed, and the vampire beast felt its power grow.

"I feel the power"

After the faint light emitted from the vampire beast's body was transferred to the Divine Angel Beast, the Divine Angel Beast also felt that its own power had become stronger, and that power was not the power of darkness, but pure power.

Knowing that it was Mina's ability, the Divine Angelmon smiled slightly, and used its speed to easily avoid Argosmon's heavy punches.

Seeing that her card could play the right role, Mina became more confident and drew out the strongest card to swipe.

"Card Swap! Imperial Tyrannosaurus Machine! ”

The vampire beast felt the incomparably powerful power that suddenly erupted from his body, which made his heart shake violently. As time passed, the aura on his body continued to grow.

"What kind of power is this?"

Even the Divine Angel Beast could feel the sudden surge in the power of the Vampire Demon Beast, and couldn't help but feel shocked that the card Mina was holding could exert such a powerful effect.

"How is that possible?"

Agosmon was shocked to notice the vampire's power increase.

"Death Scream!"

Not missing the opportunity, the vampire beast took a stance, using its dark power to release a bat-like shadow from its cloak and slammed it at Argosmon.

Because of the card's sudden increase in strength, the pitch-black bat shadow made the body of Argosmon slowly petrify.

"Abominable !!"

With a roar, Argosmon also hit its own power to hinder the damned petrified anomaly, and soon, the effects of the Death-Killing Cry were terminated.

"Demon Blood Whip!"

Blood-red whips appeared on each of the vampire beast's hands, tightly binding Argosmon's hands so that it could not swing heavy punches to attack.

Argosmon struggled desperately, trying to break free from the blood whip of the vampire beast through brute force, but how did it know that the power of the vampire beast was beyond its expectations.

I saw the vampire beast trying to maintain its balance, clutching the long whip in its hand to prevent the Argosmon from breaking free. Then look to the sacred

Angelmon, after clearly seeing some kind of information in the other party's eyes, the Divine Angelmon rushed towards Argosmon again, and this time, he directly targeted the enemy's eyes.

I saw that he concentrated all his power in the holy sword, and the power was once again emitted a divine light by the holy sword in the gathering.

"Drink-!!"

The Holy Angelmon stabbed the sword straight into Argosmon's left eye.

"Bastard!"

Argosmon let out a heart-rending roar, the pain causing it to take a few steps back.

The pain it hadn't felt in a long time caused the Argosmon to roar in rage, and the all-destroying red light charged from its chest and eyeballs, ready to deliver the most powerful blow.

"Little human girl, there's no time!"

The vampire monster looked at Mina and saw that she was in a daze watching the battle with the card and the machine, and immediately reminded her. He also understands that Mina relies on cards to make herself stronger.

"Argothmon's weakness is fire! Let me have the power of fire! ”

"Ah, the flames!"

Mina recovered from her daze, and after hearing the words of the vampire beast, she quickly glanced at the card in her hand, and took out one of the Digimon cards that described the fire skill.

"Card Swap! Ultimate Monster - Flame Hell !! ”

Sensing the powerful power of the flames, the vampire beast let go of the blood whip, and he stretched out his hands, and a red ultra-hot hellfire came from his palm

, and the flames pierced through the Argosmon's body in a straight line.

At the same time, the Vampire Beast uses its special abilities and manipulates the flames to burn the entire body of Argosmon.

Seeing the sudden flames appear and burn Argosmon's body, the Divine Angelmon immediately drew its holy sword and retreated.

"Wow, ah, ah, ah!!!"

Surrounded by raging flames, the Argos let out a scream, no matter how much they slapped and rolled on the ground, they couldn't extinguish the flames, instead

It burns even more.

Finally, the body burned by the flames remained motionless, allowing the flames to burn.

Argosmon defeated-

※※※※※

"Great! Won!! ”

With the support of several Digimon, Mina, who is holding the Digi Egg, is taken to the Vampire Beast and the Holy Angelmon.

She burst into tears because of the victory, and then she remembered the horror of the confrontation between the two of them before, and her knees began to tremble, which was also trembling with the joy boiling in her heart.

"Yes, Mina, and you have a lot to do."

The Holy Angelmon looked at Mina with a smile.

"Because you didn't give up hope, that's why you caused a miracle. I think that's probably why the ancient ancestors brought you into this world. ”

"Miracles exist"

Mina lowered her head slightly and whispered. This time, she believed in the so-called miracle.

“”

The Vampire Beast, on the other hand, quietly watched the conversation between the Divine Angelmon and Mina.

Then, the vampire beast interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Little human girl, show me that machine."

The vampire beast said suddenly, trying to confirm something through the machine.

"Ahh

Mina nodded lightly and pulled out the machine.

After the vampire beast lowered his head and carefully looked at the strange machine, when he stretched out his hand and gently touched the machine, the machine emitted a faint blue light, and reacted to the vampire beast.

When the vampire beast put away its hand, the faint light also disappeared.

"Even a Dark Digimon is eligible for a miracle?"

The Holy Angel Beast muttered to himself, his point of view changed.

"Vampire Beast, that machine is actually a testament to the miracle of the bond between you and Mina."

"Miracles? Fetters? ”

Hearing these two words, the vampire beast sneered.

"This unattainable ridiculousness is that dreams are not for me."

"Not really."

Mina denied.

"You made me stick to my beliefs before, maybe my beliefs don't include dreams, but if I don't have beliefs, I may not be able to become my true self."

"I think it's because this belief is conveyed that the machine will appear."

Mina looked at the machine in her hand and said.

"If the Vampire doesn't like this, I'll throw it away."

As she spoke, Mina was about to throw the machine away, but was stopped by the vampire beast.

"Enough, that's yours. If you give up because of the words of others, you will regret it. ”

"You mean you don't want me to throw away the machine?"

Knowing what the other party meant, Mina put the machine back in her pocket with a happy expression.

"And"

After glancing at the Digi Egg Mina was holding, the Vampire Beast turned to look at the Divine Angelmon and made some kind of decision.

"Hypocritical angel, the Digi Egg of Cherubimon is yours. I've lost interest in Digi Eggs, and it's up to them to decide their fate. ”

"Huh?"

Originally, it was thought that the Vampire Beast still wanted to monopolize the Digi Egg, but the Holy Angelmon thought of itself for a moment after hearing the other party's words of abandonment

Misheard. But this time, judging from the expression of the vampire beast, he was indeed telling the truth.

"I'm fed up with the sound of that little human girl crying, and you don't want to cause another boring war because of this digital egg."

"But, don't forget, this is also your last chance. If the Digi Egg is left behind, I will never return it next time. ”

"Vampire Beast, you"

Originally, he wanted to agree with each other, but the words of the vampire demonic beast suddenly made the holy angel beast angry.

"Holy Angel Beast, no"

Sensing the wrath of the Divine Angel Beast, Mina hurriedly ran to the Divine Angel Beast's side and dissuaded her.

"He said it on purpose"

"Ahem, now that my mission is complete. Now all that remains is to find a way to go back and let the ancient ancestors fulfill their wishes, and they will definitely be able to do it. ”

After calming down, the Divine Angel Beast looked at the mirage-like human city displayed in the sky and said.

"Eun is going to be separated"

Mina reluctantly looked at the Divine Angel Beast and the Vampire Demon Beast.

No one noticed that Argosmon's flame-burning body was slowly shrinking, and with two tentacles behind it and green feathers, Digimon resembling a human form rushed out of the flames and rushed towards Mina.

"Die!"

The tentacles behind him stretched out, ready to stab the human girl.

"Danger!"

The Divine Angelmon closest to Mina immediately pushed Mina away, and his chest was pierced by two tentacles at the same time.

"What!?"

Mina's eyes widened.

"Demon Blood Whip!"

A blood-red whip slammed Argosmon to the ground, and at the same time, the two tentacles that pierced the Divine Angelmon's chest were pulled out.

"Whew"

The Divine Angel Beast let out a painful ** sound.

"Abominable Kill You"

Argosmon rose from the ground, its voice full of hatred, and as it tried to continue attacking with its tentacles, a bat-shaped shadow struck its body. Soon, Argosmon's body quickly turned grayish-white, and its body began to petrify, unable to move.

"Return to darkness the soul of sin"

Covering its chest, the Divine Angelmon stretched out its holy sword and slowly walked towards Argosmon. His own divine power is in the ultimate body of the Argosmon

The form is used up in battle, and the healing power that restores wounds cannot be used.

With each step, red data quickly overflowed from the wound, and the Divine Angel Beast knew that it wouldn't last long.

"Gate of Heaven!"

Using the last of its strength, the Divine Angelmon drew a circular gate in the void. The door began to open, and the strong suction sucked the immobile Argosmon into the darkness until the door closed.

"Holy Angelmon!"

Watching the Divine Angel Beast's body begin to crack and decompose, and data keep popping up, Mina said loudly with a sad expression.

"I'm sorry, Mina."

The Holy Angelmon looked down at Mina and smiled.

"I'm done here"

"Don't die!!"

Seeing that the body of the Divine Angel Beast was rapidly collapsing and disappearing, Mina almost began to cry.

"It's okay, we'll meet again"

The Divine Angel Beast smiled reluctantly, and then looked at the Vampire Demon Beast with a regretful expression.

"I failed in my mission, and it may be a good choice to die to apologize"

"Ahh

The vampire beast stepped forward, his voice was very calm, and there was no mockery in his words, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hypocritical angel, die in peace"

"It's stupid, but it's up to me to do it."

"Vampire Monster, I'll believe you for the last time"

The unfulfilled duties have unfortunately come to an end. The Divine Angel Beast whispered reassuringly. Seeing his reassuring expression, the vampire demonic beast

He nodded solemnly.

"I'm sorry my friends, I can't go back anymore"

The Holy Angelmon remembered its friends, who must have been waiting for their return.

"Ice Wizard Beast, divination is really accurate."

He smiled wryly, not at all angry at the end he ushered in.

"Dying for justice is also a good ending."

Finally, the Divine Angel Beast calmly closed its eyes, and its body silently disappeared, turning into sparkling fragments.

"Holy Angelmon!"

Mina shouted.

A few white feathers fluttered down in the wind. It is the feathers on the wings of the Divine Angel Beast. And I saw them gathered together, and formed a circle,

Transformed into a snow-white digital egg with light yellow stripes.
