The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

Volume No.11: Moonsea Labyrinth & Many as One (7)

"Zhenghao, Cherubimon, how to deal with this noble knight is up to you to decide."

Walking back to his companion, Karen gave the choice of how to deal with Sword Emperor Beast to Zhenghao and Cherubimon.

"You don't intend to execute her at all, are you not afraid that she will attack you?"

Zheng Hao sees that Karen has other plans.

"After all, she seems to be your acquaintance, so it's best to let the acquaintances decide."

Come on, I don't know her well at all, okay? !It's just that the wizard beast guy often mentions her.

"Besides, I've already missed the opportunity. It's too troublesome to use the trump card to push her into a desperate situation again. If you continue to use the trump card, the magic power fluctuation will attract more enemies. This noble knight is a good example, understand? ?”

There are really more and more suspicious things!

"Okay, let's decide how to deal with her? Zhenghao."

"Cherubimon, you are the best at dealing with troublesome things, let you handle them."

Without hesitation, Zhenghao left the troublesome matter to Cherubimon to decide.

"Compared to me, you are more familiar with the Royal Knights, at least you have some communication."

"In that case..."

Smiling, Kirubimon walked towards Sword Emperor Beast, not caring about Zhenghao's attitude at all.

"Sword Emperor Beast, as a royal knight, you should understand the etiquette for the winner, right?"

With a gentle tone, Cherubimon said to Jianhuangmon.

"We are not angry with you for attacking everyone, and I understand your feelings. However, at this time, it is more necessary for reliable companions to join and help each other."

"No matter which era, it is a rule on the battlefield that the loser obeys the winner. Of course, as long as it doesn't hinder us, how you think about it is your own choice. However, I believe that you want to find out the truth just like us, and find The way to return to the original world. Besides, you also have important friends waiting to meet, right?"

(The so-called important friend is actually a wizard beast (Dunasmon).)

Zhenghao secretly complained in his heart.

"...Okay. Leave that girl alone. I am not an irrational beast. In order to dig out the truth, I temporarily agree to be your sharp sword."

Cherubimon's words are not unreasonable. Compared to wandering aimlessly and executing irrational Digimon compatriots, Sword Kingmon agrees to be a companion.

"That would be great. Having a royal knight as a companion makes me feel more at ease."

The smile on Kilubi's face was more obvious.

"Zhenghao, you have no objection, do you?"

"That's your own decision! But the strength of the team has also increased."

Although he was a bit disgusted on the surface, Zheng Hao still recognized the combat effectiveness of the Royal Knights.

"Congratulate yourself for this, human. Being guarded by the three angels and the royal knight at the same time, this is the glory that belongs to you in your life."

What is there to be proud of!

"However, no matter what happens, I will not forgive the cancer that has the same magical power as the White Queen, let alone believe her..."

Sure enough, even if they become companions temporarily, Jianhuangmon is more wary of Karen than Zhenghao and Kirubimon.

"Very well, you will definitely protect everyone's safety. I will leave this container at any time. When the time comes, you should take care of the innocent little girl who was abandoned."

Karen, you and Sword Emperor Beast are not on the same topic at all.In fact, you deliberately changed the subject, trying to embarrass the Sword Emperor Beast.

Generally speaking, it is indeed a lucky thing for Sword Emperor Beast to be a companion.In order to let everyone know more about each other, Kirubimon told Jianhuangmon about Zhenghao and his experience in the Moon Sea Labyrinth.

"So, is this what happened to you?"

After learning about the general situation from Cherubimon, Sword Emperor Beast also told what happened to him.

"On the way to the human world, I was sucked in by the distorted space that suddenly appeared, and was forcibly summoned to the Moon Sea Labyrinth. Moreover, it is difficult to perceive the passage of time here, and I can only judge by my own feelings."

"When I first came to the Moon Sea Labyrinth, I didn't know much about the 'game' mentioned by the White Queen. But this place is really a place of madness without elegance, and it's really disgusting."

The Sword Emperor Beast dislikes the Moon Sea Labyrinth very much.

"In order to catch the White Queen, I have explored the Moonsea Labyrinth many times. Of course, I met many fellow Digimon along the way."

"Unfortunately, without exception, they are all irrational, evil spirits who just keep fighting to devour each other, and know nothing about anything."

Her tone was a little helpless.

"For the pathetic people who indulge in killing and plundering and pleasure, out of my own responsibility and compassion, it took me a while to execute most of the Digimon in this area with my own hands. In this way, they can recover from the non-sense nightmare Let go."

You have wiped out most of the Digimon in the area by yourself, you are really strong!

"But, besides that, I also encountered a dark shadow wandering in this area."

When mentioning 'The Shadow of Darkness', Sword Emperor Beast's tone changed slightly.

"As long as she appears, every passage in the Moon Sea Labyrinth will be easily destroyed. She has the same magical power as the White Queen, and the cancerous tumors lingering in the passages are the biggest enemies on the road we must pass through."

"Hey, I remember that the Moonsea Labyrinth belongs to a different space type. Is the passage really so easy to be smashed?"

Zheng Hao had a bad premonition.

"When you see her in person, you will understand that the place where we are going is exactly the point of divergence, and the passage on the left is leading to the 'heart'; another cancer is there."

Sword King Beast signaled everyone to go to the area in the direction of the 'heart' with him.

"..."

At some point, Karen's expression was a little strange.

"You don't have anything to say, do you?"

Noticing Karen's expression, Zheng Hao thought she seemed to want to say something.

"I just think that the 'she' mentioned by Sword Emperor Beast should also be an acquaintance of mine. Heh, as she said, it would be better to meet her in person."

You really have a lot of 'acquaintances'...

(six)

Relying on the guidance of the Sword Emperor Beast, everyone continued to move towards the 'heart' area.

"Crossing that road, we'll be in the chest area soon...huh?"

As if feeling something, the Sword Emperor Beast who was walking in the front stopped.

"It's the sound of footsteps... It seems that someone is rushing here from the corner of the passage."

Not only Sword Emperor Beast, but even Cherubimon and Karen also heard very hurried footsteps, and they were approaching here quickly.Especially the cherubimon, his ears are more sensitive.

"The one running towards us seems to be a Digimon."

Not long after, a seriously injured humanoid Digimon dressed in a red wizard costume was running over desperately.

"Run, run!! If you are chased by that monster... everyone will die!!!"

Panting heavily, the running Digimon almost exhausted its last physical strength.Standing in front of everyone, although the Digimon looked flustered, they did not forget to kindly remind everyone.

This Digimon doesn't seem to lose its mind.

"...What?! Why does this human have the same magic power as that monster?!!"

However, when the Digimon noticed Karen, he seemed even more flustered.

"Please calm down, this girl is our companion, she is not a bad person."

First of all, emergency treatment is given to Digimon with healing magic, and Cherubimon is persuading him to calm down.

"Judging the good and evil of others is not proved by magic power."

It makes sense, it's completely speechless...

"You guys are really brave..."

Although he didn't fully believe Cherubimon's words, but because Cherubimon was healing himself, Digimon didn't ask too much.He also seems to be a guy who hates to pursue troublesome things.

"I'm FlaWizardmon (FlaWizarmon), just an insignificant mature Digimon who is good at manipulating flames. If you want to name it, you can call me Adesso (Adesso)."

"Fortunately, it seems that besides us, there are still compatriots who have not lost their rationality."

It is rare to meet a second Digimon compatriot who maintains rationality, and Sword Emperor Beast is secretly delighted.

"Is the injury on your body caused by fighting that 'monster'?"

Knowing that the 'monster' refers to another 'tumor' mentioned by Jianhuangmon not long ago, Zhenghao asked Adisuo who was being treated by Kirubimon.

"I was caught by her, and in order to escape as soon as possible, I fought back desperately to gain a chance..."

Pulling the brim of his hat, Adiso didn't want to recall the process of his escape.Apparently, it was a bad experience.

"Not good! It seems that I have said too much nonsense, don't dawdle, let's run away quickly!! It would be bad to be chased by monsters..."

Before Adiso finished speaking, an indistinct roar was coming from the corridor.

"No, I came after you so quickly...!"

As soon as the words fell, a female figure shrouded in black shadow appeared in front of everyone.

Messy gray long hair, a strange white mask on his face, a half body bound by a muddy bandage, weak and broken black wings, and huge claws with scarlet nails on both hands.The appearance of the female looks miserable, but it is indeed the 'tumor' and monster referred to by Jianhuangmon and Adiso.

"Don't even think about fighting her, we have no chance of winning. Whether it's a human or a Digimon, the life of the Moonsea Labyrinth is easily defeated by her. Run away now! Quickly!! Otherwise, it will be too late!!! "

The nightmare reappeared, and Adiso's voice was a little flustered.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

The woman roared again, and was quickly approaching everyone.

(...It's painful to be tortured to such an extent, my 'dark' side.)

Looking at the woman calmly, Karen looked a little unnatural.

"Adiso, do you still have the strength to escape?"

Threats appeared, and Sword Emperor Beast asked Adiso who was being healed by Cherubimon.

"Barely can... But with the strength of human feet, it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape."

"Cherubimon, leave that human to your protection. As for you, you are not fast enough to escape, and I will help you escape."

Perhaps out of concern for the survivors, Zheng Hao was handed over to the Kirubi Beast for protection, and the Sword Emperor Beast stretched out its blade and tied Adiso's body tightly, trying to take him away by binding him. dangerous place.

"Hey ma'am, I know you want to help me out of kindness. But it's really hard to be tied up! Can you lift me up by hand?!"

Protests were ignored.

"So, I'm sorry, Zhenghao."

Giving a wry smile at Sword Emperor Beast who was binding Adiso with a belt blade, Cherubimon hugged Zhenghao's body.

"Tsk..."

Zhenghao is in a very depressed mood, basically the most useless character is himself.

"Leave quickly, you must not be touched by her paws..."

Evacuating with his companions, Karen can be considered to have achieved his goal.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Roaring in pain, the woman swung her huge sharp claws.

The space in the corridor instantly collapsed——

"Are you kidding!? The space is destroyed?!"

Fortunately, everyone stayed away in time and was not involved.But when Zhenghao saw the destroyed space, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"See, this is the threat of the 'tumor'. As long as you swing your claws, the road and space will collapse."

Full of hostility towards women, but there is no way to defeat her, the tone of Sword Emperor Beast is full of anger.

"She is a LadyDevimon of the same level as the White Queen, and also the opposite of the White Queen. It is most appropriate to call her 'Black Queen' (Selene)."

You are really proficient and natural in addressing your enemies!

"The Black Queen's ability is space destruction. As long as it enters her field of vision, no matter how big or small, any existence will be destroyed and collapsed."

With a blank face, Karen explained the ability of the Black Queen.

"Compared to the White Queen, the Black Queen's personality is cold and repressed, but at least she is not as black-bellied and full of evil tastes as the White Queen. As you can see, her current situation is that she is artificially restrained and causes her to run wild. As long as she is close to the Black Queen, Everything will perish."

"Artificially restrained...?"

Observing carefully, Cherubimon can indeed see that the Black Queen is bound, and her voice is very painful.

"No, this is not the time for sympathy. The way forward is closed, which means it cannot be used."

"That's right, whether it's jumping or flying, as long as there is no road, you can't move."

Anyway, no one really wants to pass the road.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Let's go back to the fork, at least another road can be used!"

Unable to bear the two chatting in ink, Zhenghao urged Cherubimon and Karen to leave quickly.

Just like that, the crowd rushed all the way back to the fork in the road, and the figure of the Black Queen got further and further away, and they stopped chasing them.

It's safe for the time being, let's explore the other side of the passage...

"Are we safe now? That...beautiful lady, can you let go of the shackles now? Although it is my honor to be met by a beautiful woman, I don't have a habit of being abused."

When everyone reached the other side of the passage, Adiso, who was restrained by the blade, signaled Sword Emperor Beast to let him go in a joking tone.

"Hmph, glib."

The Sword Emperor Beast let go of the blade in a cold tone, and Adiso finally regained his freedom.

"Haha, after all, my nature is like this. As long as I meet noble and beautiful compatriots, I can't help expressing my affection."

Adiso said jokingly.

Boy, your thoughts are dangerous!Also, this guy's attitude towards women is really similar to that white-haired boy.

"Ahem, Mr. Adiso, did you escape from the 'heart' area? Are there any other survivors in the 'heart' area?"

Okay, let's get down to business first.Coughing a few times, Cherubimon tried to get useful information from Adiso.

"Heh... how should I put it, it feels quite cruel."

Putting away his frivolous smile, Adiso's expression was unexpectedly serious.

"When I was first teleported to the Moonsea Labyrinth, it was the 'heart' area, where there was a huge building like a planetarium. Of course, I was not the only one in the building, but other Digimon compatriots and Unholy hunter."

"In the beginning, everyone still took care of each other and got along very well. Of course, it was only on the surface, and conflicts and violence often occurred. Therefore, a small group of people who want to stay away from the chaotic life 'try to find an exit from the outside world'," On the grounds of finding a way to communicate with the outside world, I left the 'shelter' and never came back..."

Adiso recounted his experience helplessly.

"Then, the White Queen always broadcasts many times, saying that as long as you become the last survivor of the Moon Sea Labyrinth, you can successfully leave the Moon Sea Labyrinth with rewards. No matter how you look at it, it's a malicious trap for everyone to kill each other, right? But most people are willing to believe that, after all, those summoned "companions" are not good, no different from greedy villains. Therefore, under the breeding of despair and the infection of some kind of malicious madness, everyone They have almost lost their reason, and they often commit violence and purges for various reasons."

"I don't want to be noticed, and I don't want to be the next one to be purged. I and the other survivors who are still rational can only try to keep a low profile in the shelter; but the supplies are getting scarcer, and even the distribution is difficult." It became a problem. So, fed up with the crazy environment, the few survivors who still hoped for the outside world secretly escaped from the shelter. That’s right, they left me like that and left without permission. Well, after all, I’m only good at flames Digimon at the mature stage of juggling, their strength is very average, and it is normal to be ignored, even if they escape from the refuge and wander in the moon sea labyrinth, they will only have the fate of being swallowed by foul beasts."

Adiso laughed at himself, it was really a cruel experience.

"Fortunately, those guys who escaped from the shelter had no chance to take away the remaining supplies. The fewer the number of people, the longer the supplies will last; although I am only a small character, at least I am very confident in my cooking skills .Thanks to a good skill, I can temporarily curry favor with those villains to achieve the purpose of surviving. Later, because of the most serious conflict, everyone’s last sanity disappeared, and the angry fellow Digimon are really scary. Finally, except for me, In addition to the little human girl whose name was Kingu who had just arrived at the shelter, who was completely at a loss, the villains all killed each other.

"Ah, thanks to the strong door of the safe room, Jin Gu and I escaped unharmed."

"Wait! Besides you, there is another survivor in the 'heart' area?! Or a little human girl?!"

It's really a big revelation, there is still a survivor!Oddly enough, why are there small children?Perhaps it was also the man behind the scenes who deliberately showed a wicked side in order to test human nature?

"How is that child now?!"

Wanting to save more survivors, Cherubimon's tone was a little eager.

"I haven't finished yet... Even if the troublesome incident subsides temporarily, the food in the 'refuge' is seriously insufficient. If this continues, Jin Gu will starve to death. Out of humanitarian thoughts, I mustered up the courage to leave 'Refuge', I want to try my luck to see if I can find some food and some clues. Don't look at me with reproachful eyes, my ability is limited, if you go out with children, it will only become a burden. Anyway, the leftover food is enough for her to last for a few days, and before I left, I told her many times not to run around, but fortunately, Jin Gu is a smart and obedient child."

"So, when you just escaped from the 'Refuge', you just happened to meet the Black Queen who was destroying other summoners, and then ran away desperately, and met us, right?"

Karen naturally told what happened to Adiso next.

"Ah, anyway, my luck is not bad. However, the road connecting the 'heart' area was destroyed, so I can only switch to other roads to the 'refuge' in the future. Jin Gu, he must be able to take care of himself..."

Adiso actually trusted the children in the 'Refuge'.

"Then pray that the child can survive to the end. We are still powerless against the Black Queen and need to go to other safe areas to rest. Of course, after finding other ways to the 'heart' area, I will assist you to find The last survivors. After all, the rational few weak people need to be protected."

Knowing that there are other survivors, Sword King Beast decides to help Adiso find the child.

"Being protected by a beautiful lady as a weak person, I feel really mixed feelings..."

Adiso smiled wryly.

"I should be the one with the complicated mood."

Zhenghao complained about him in protest.

"Ah, by the way, I don't know your names yet? Beautiful lady, can you tell me your name? If there is a chance, I will thank you sincerely."

Only then remembered that he didn't know everyone's names, and Adiso asked everyone, especially Sword Emperor Beast.

"Heh, you can call me the lonely Rose Knight——Sword Emperor Beast. Except for those two humans, we don't have meaningless names, understand? A weak fire mage."

Seeing Adiso's little intention, Jianhuang Beast still said its name.By the way, mocking Adiso's ignorance with a slightly contemptuous tone.

"Ma'am, as long as you are happy."

Knowing that he was underestimated, apart from being a little depressed, Adiso was not angry.After all, Sword Emperor Beast is the ultimate body.

"Then, I am..."

Cherubimon also used this to introduce itself, as well as the names of Zhenghao and Jialun.

"Oh, let's talk as we go."

In addition, Adiso is not interested in knowing other people's names, just listen to them for a while.

Hey, it's just that he didn't take it into his eyes, why is he being so indifferent to us?
