What does it feel like to be defeated despite your best efforts?

During his time at the Digimon Masters, Pug felt defeat after defeat.

And it all started with that final against Hros, and everything around him was no longer the same.

"The third duel, the third duel!"

But before this third duel, he lost to another contestant, Lululu!

Although Herros was also defeated in the duel with Lululu, Pug's goal is not just to defeat Herros, he is the one to win the Digimon Masters!

The duel with Lululu made him feel a bigger gap than the duel with Herros, and he didn't think of any hope of a comeback even after the game.

So when he was about to have the third round of fate with Herros, Pug found himself distracted!

"Even if I succeed in reversing Herros this time, what happens after that? With my Digimon's attributes and powers, what exactly should I do to defeat Lululu? ”

……

It was in this confusion that Pug entered the ring for a duel with Herros.

And Herros, who was standing on the high platform opposite him, was also in a gloomy mood at the moment.

Because this is the lower bracket.

He didn't taste defeat all the way, but he was beaten out of the upper bracket, and he could only rely on this lower bracket game to resurrect.

Although he thinks that this "resurrection" is a sure thing, how can he defeat Lululu who knocked him down after he is re-played?

So at this moment, Herros was also distracted.

……

"East City duo Hros and Pug will meet again in the lower bracket final, this is the third fateful duel between the two in this tournament, will Pug be able to reverse his fate and defeat Herros? Or will Herros still defend his glory and remain undefeated? Let's wait and see! ”

The shouts of the narrator and the shouts of the audience mingled like a mountain roaring out of a tsunami.

But the two people in the ring acted as if they had never heard it at all, and their eyes showed a little dazedness.

It wasn't until the referee announced the official start of the game that the eyes of the two suddenly condensed at this moment, and then quickly entered the state.

……

The duel begins.

Hros vs Pug!

……

The odds of a bet on Pag to win were much higher than the odds for a win in Hros, and the guests in the tavern began to hesitate.

The same is true for Hei Lao, he feels in his heart that Herros will definitely continue to win, especially now that Pug has just experienced another fiasco, Hei Lao thinks that Pag's psychological state must have collapsed, and it is absolutely impossible to turn over strongly.

But with the current odds, if you bet on Herros to win, you can only eat some low-income, and if you bet on Pag to win, you can make a fortune!

Once gambling has been contaminated for a long time, even if you can remember the words "small gambling pleasure" at the beginning, the control psychology of the first person will gradually decrease, and greed will gradually surface after all, and then swallow your reason.

The black old man gradually realized that he couldn't control his desire to bet on Pug to win.

In the midst of his struggle, he found his own guiding light, which was Rowan.

He whispered, "Boss, what do you think?" ”

Rowan couldn't help laughing and said, "What do you think?" You're looking to take a gamble on Pug, right? ”

Hei Lao smiled: "It's still the boss who sees it thoroughly." ”

Rowan shook his head and said, "In this game, I can only say that Pug has a chance. ”

He had carefully observed the duel between Pug and Lululu, and he had discovered that Pug's Digimon, especially the Ice Demon, had indeed grown considerably.

On the other hand, Hros has only regarded the Flame Wyvern as the last killer weapon in the previous game, so the growth of the Flame Wyvern is quite limited.

And the relationship between Pug and Hros is actually the victory or defeat between these two Digimon, once Purg's Ice Demon can defeat Hros's Flame Wyvern, then Page's chances of winning will be directly full!

So he said that Pug had a chance.

But all of this is only observed through the TV screen, and the final result can only be known after the duel is over.

So he said again: "Let's open four or six." Pug four, Hros six. If he wants to turn it around, he needs to put in a few more efforts. But now it seems that the two are not in much of a state, and there is more suspense about who will win and who will lose. Anyway, I'm still the same sentence. It is not advisable for you to bet on this kind of game that has no fixed number. ”

But Hei Lao didn't seem to hear his last words, and muttered to himself: "Four-six?" In other words, the final victory or defeat is still determined by the presence of both sides. In this case, it is worth taking risks. ”

Then, he really bet on Pug to win!

And it's a lot of money!

And after seeing him like this, Bai Lao smiled and bet on the victory of Hros.

The two old men suddenly stared at each other, so unhappy.

And that's where the game began.

Pug's starting Digimon is still his main Ice Demon!

On the other hand, Heros also took out the Flame Rhino as always, but after he found out that Pug was taking out the Ice Demon, he immediately replaced it with his main force, the Flame Wyvern!

This time, Herros didn't take out the steel beast that was more advantageous to fight the ice demon, because he knew that once he took out the steel beast, Pug would definitely replace it with a cotton beast, and it would be pointless to delay time if it continued!

He doesn't want to delay any longer, he wants to end the game as soon as possible, and then get back into the final ring with Lululu and be ashamed!

So the first round of this match will be the fiercest battle between the main Digimon of both sides!

In the eyes of discerning people, the victory or defeat in this first round basically represents the victory or defeat between the two.

As expected, the duel between the Ice Demon and the Flame Wyvern was extremely fierce, with ice crystals and flames blooming wildly on the ring, and the entire ring was divided into two parts: ice and fire!

But even if the Ice Demon had already frantically absorbed power to grow in this competition, it still seemed that it was still a step behind the Flame Wyvern, and all the ice crystal creations it continuously released were blasted one after another by the power of the flames.

Pug gritted his teeth as he watched the scene, his brain spinning wildly, desperately thinking about how to defeat the Flame Wyvern.

However, Herros sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, constantly commanding the Flame Wyvern to suppress the ice demon in all aspects.

Finally, the Flame Wyvern roared into the Ice Demon's ice crystal realm, and the raging flames burned wildly, melting the surrounding ice crystals into water in an instant.

And that water also boils and evaporates rapidly in a high-temperature flame, forming a large amount of water vapor.

White water vapor gradually filled the ring, making the two Digimon feel as if they were in a cloud of mist.

The hot water vapor continued to scorch the Ice Demon's body, and at the same time, it also made the Flame Wyvern feel extremely uncomfortable, and the two Digimon's physical strength actually dropped rapidly as a result.

Pug's eyes lit up, as if he saw an opportunity!

"Hold on! Only the one who stands last is the winner! ”

He grabbed the edge of the platform and let out an excited cry at the ice demon.

And Herros frowned, and suddenly shouted: "Yan Feng! Blow away the heat! ”

The Flame Wyvern was ordered to stop in place and flicker its wings wildly!

"Whew!"

The wind is blowing, and the waves are rising.

The water vapor around the Flame Wyvern was immediately blown away in all directions.

But how could Pug have allowed it to do so?

Therefore, he immediately shouted: "Ice Demon, Ice Coffin! ”

After an instant, the Ice Demon opened his arms, and transparent freezing gas erupted wildly from his body, causing the heat of the water vapor around the Flame Wyvern to drop wildly, and then from steam to ice water, and from ice water to ice cubes!

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the Flame Wyvern was actually frozen in an ice coffin!

"Ha, ha!"

Pug gasped for breath as if he were in the ring, mentally and physically tired.

And the audience who supported him off the field seemed to see his hope of victory, and immediately shouted his name wildly.

On the contrary, the audience who supported Herros began to cheer for Herros desperately.

The arena was suffocated, the situation suddenly became tense, and even the commentators on the commentary platform could not determine the direction of victory or defeat.

Adhering to the principle that if you say too much, you will lose, the commentators just shut their mouths and decided to just watch it, and then wait for the results to be an afterthought.

……

But it was only a dozen seconds later, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on the ice coffin that sealed the Flame Wyvern.

The ice coffin is shattered!

"Roar!"

The Flame Wyvern rushed out of the ice coffin, but the flames on its body were dim and uncertain, and it was obvious that it was almost unable to support it.

However, the same is true of the ice demon on the other side, and the duel in this round has developed into a decisive victory of physical strength and endurance in the end.

Under the wisdom of Pug, the Ice Demon condensed the last ice armor and ice spear, and sent out the final charge towards the Flame Wyvern like a knight!

Not to be outdone, the Flame Wyvern spewed hot flames at it!

The blazing waves of flames surged, but the ice demon continued to charge without fear of death, the ice spear in its hand was gradually melted by the flames, the ice armor on its body turned into liquid dripping, and white smoke rose from all over its body.

But it's still desperately sprinting forward!

It not only carries the glory of its master, but also its own obsession!

Three defeats have made it feel a strong sense of shame, and only victory can wash it away!

……

And before the magic TV, Rowan suddenly squinted his eyes and stared at the ice demon tightly.

Digimon is an electronic life based on intelligent control, and its life level is lower than that of the electronic elf, and it only has the most basic thinking logic, but has no real emotions and intelligence.

However, as the Digimon evolves by absorbing the opponent's data little by little during the battle, its own data will continue to improve, and its intelligence level will continue to increase, gradually moving closer to the level of the animatron.

However, Rowan had specially observed and knew that even the intelligence of a fourth-order Digimon was far inferior to that of the Cyber Elf, and even far from the level of the "Intelligent Triangular Metal Box" Aru.

The fatal difference is that their simulation of "emotion" is extremely simple.

Joy, pain, fear, anger......

Their outward emotions basically come from their own masters, rejoicing because of their masters' joy and angry because of their masters' anger, and they don't have their own complex emotions.

But at this moment, Rowan seemed to see a little bit of its own brilliance in this ice demon's body!

At this moment, this ice demon, who was constantly losing in important battles, seemed to have broken through a certain shackle, and its life level had been sublimated to a certain extent!

Although this sublimation does not substantially change its combat power, it does give it greater potential.

Rowan suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity for Digimon to evolve further!

With this opportunity in hand, as long as this Ice Demon continues to accumulate, sooner or later it will be able to evolve into an even more powerful Rank 5 Digimon!

And the outcome of the battle at the moment is not so important in this regard.

Of course, neither man nor beast in the arena thinks so, for them, victory or defeat is everything!

"Rush! Keep rushing! Don't give up! ”

Pug's extremely excited roar resounded throughout the audience, and the ice demon stared at the flamethrower and sprinted desperately, even though its ice spear had been burned in half, even though its ice armor had only a thin layer left, it was still full of fearless death, and its eyes were full of unprecedented faith!

……

However, the reality is not a bloody comic, and the ice demon did not rush in front of the Flame Wyvern in the end, and its movements came to an abrupt end at a distance of only half a meter from the Flame Wyvern.

The referee also made a quick decision and announced the defeat of the Ice Devil.

The ice crystals shattered, the flames died down, and there was silence all around.

There were no cheers, no shouts, no boos, all eyes were on the Digimon still standing in the ring.

Even if it fainted and was defeated, it still did not fall.

……

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly brought people back to reality.

Herros suddenly said, "Come back, Flame Wyvern." ”

After this round of hard fighting, the Flame Wyvern's combat power was almost completely lost.

Although the final verdict is its victory, it is no different from a draw in the actual sense, and the next victory or defeat is still to be seen!

……

The duel in the second round was Snow Beast VS Flame Rhino, and the Snow Beast suppressed the third-order Flame Rhino with the advantage of the fourth order, but Hros saw that he couldn't do anything, so he replaced the Flame Rhino with a Steel Beast.

After five minutes of fighting, Pug replaced the defeated Snow Beast with a Cotton Beast.

But this time, Hros didn't trade for the steel beast again!

The steel beast kept tearing the cotton beast apart with a roar, and the entire ring was full of cotton beast splinters!

The splinters crowded around the steelbeast, squeezing and draining its physical strength.

The steel beast struggled frantically in the sea of cotton, and its arms derived sharp blades that sliced the cotton beast into pieces one after another.

But the sliced Cotton Beast only turned into a more finely fragmented split body, and gradually began to implant it into the body of the Steel Beast, as if trying to absorb its life force!
