The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

Volume Five: Destiny and Beginning (3)

(two)

The cold wind howled, and in the distorted space area, the surrounding land was completely covered with ice and snow.Carefully stepping on the snow, Ryder and the others are moving towards the exit of the space according to the map's prompts.Thanks to Lilith Beast's incantations that temporarily strengthened the physical fitness of Ryder and Lucy, reducing the impact of the harsh temperature, the two ordinary humans in summer clothes were able to successfully survive in the snow and ice at tens of degrees below zero. walk.

Even the loss of a companion cannot change everyone's determination to explore the castle and rescue their friends.What's more, the holy angel beast doesn't need to worry too much.

"I can guarantee that the sudden disappearance of the holy angel beast must have been specially arranged by the owner of the castle! We must be more vigilant to prevent our companions from disappearing again without noticing."

Stepping on the snow and traveling in the cold wind, Lucy said loudly with an expression of resentment.Best friend Mina suffers alone in the dangerous castle, and now even the holy angel beast with 'medical use' has suddenly disappeared!Lucy doesn't want her friend to suddenly disappear from her side again.

"Lilith Beast is the most powerful 'magician', if even she can't detect abnormal fluctuations, we can only ask for blessings..."

Frustrated by the unknown changes, Basdimon uttered negative words.

"Taking away the Holy Angel Beast without us noticing, the other party must be very good at using the ability of 'space transfer', what a mistake..."

Although I feel that the Holy Angel Beast can guarantee its own safety even if it is alone, but it can force the Holy Angel Beast to be teleported without being aware of it. Lilith Beast is somewhat concerned about the enemy's ability.In my own impression, the only Digimon that is so good at using 'dimension transfer' is that sage.But since he has a good relationship with the Digimon, he shouldn't do such stupid things that endanger the interests of the Digital World.

"Nereus, is the last guardian good at 'space transfer'?"

The so-called "partner concentricity" has the same question as Lilithmon, and Ryder asked Nereus.

"Only the mother, or a very small number of special Digimon can do it. The powers that the last guardian is good at are 'chaos' and 'extreme cold'."

The wind and snow obscured his sight, and gusts of strong wind blew his hair. Feeling the biting cold, Nereus exhaled warm breath from his opponent, and replied seriously.

"However, the last guardian has a very loyal subordinate who is very good at using the teleportation ability. My friend Elizabeth knows his existence..."

"Wow, maybe his subordinates took the holy angel beast away."

I always feel that Nereus seems to be hiding something deliberately, but he didn't lie, and Lucy still believes in this little boy.

"Do you know what kind of Digimon his subordinates are?"

Ryder continued asking.

"Sorry, I'm not very clear. But Elizabeth has seen him. If she can be found, Elizabeth may be able to tell you..."

True, Nereus does not know everything.

"Hehe, the information is enough, maybe that subordinate is indeed our 'old acquaintance'."

Recalling the memory illusion of the Bright Beast he saw before the confrontation with Ogudu Beast a year ago, Ryder was still full of doubts about the familiar sage.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up, but not everyone likes the harsh winter."

Before Lilithmon's auxiliary spell disappeared, Ryder urged his companions. After all, walking on a mountain road full of snow and ice is quite exhausting for humans.

However, at this moment——

"Hey little boy, we won't leave you behind."

For Nereus who suddenly grabbed her wrist, Lucy comforted him gently.Although Nereus is a Digimon, his appearance is really too much like a human child, especially the pitiful appearance shivering from the cold, which somewhat makes her feel compassionate.

"Everyone, please be careful, there are a large number of unholy beasts approaching us, we are surrounded..."

Signaling Lucy who was walking in the front not to move forward, Nereus, who was looking around, was reminding his companions around him with an uneasy expression.

As soon as the words fell, dozens of tall giant beasts with blue-gray skin rushed out of the snow and surrounded the visitors.

Unholy Beast - 'Frost Giant' (Muspelheim)

"Please, I don't like being surrounded by monsters in the ice and snow."

Holding her forehead, Lucy complained dissatisfiedly.Except for humans and Nereus, this group of monsters cannot be killed by Digimon partners.What's more, there are too many enemies, and every filthy beast has a murderous expression.

A purple afterimage flashed, and accompanied by a weak cry, the 'frost giant' standing in front fell to the ground.Taking a closer look, I saw black corrosion marks appearing on the beast's knees.

"Ryder, Lucy, run away now! We'll be here later!"

Waving the 'Nazar's Claw' with its right hand, Lilithmon, which uses the 'power of curse' to temporarily immobilize the filthy beast, is trying to buy time for Ryder and Lucy to escape. Even if the Digimon cannot destroy the filthy beast, as long as Let it take serious damage.

"Okay, you have to be careful! Lucy, let's run!"

The chaotic and dangerous battle situation can only be handled by the partner Digimon. Holding the light-bladed hand sword for self-defense tightly, Ryder and Lucy hurried to escape.

"It doesn't work, big man."

Blocking one of the 'Frost Giant' beasts who were about to chase Ryder and Lucy, Busty swept the 'Frost Giant''s ankles with its two soft tails behind it, tripping it to the ground .

Lie on the ground honestly, big man!

Under the frenzied attack of the 'Claw of Nazar' with the 'power of curse' and the sharp purple claws, the bodies of the 'frost giants' who surrounded them quickly became crippled.

"Nereus, now!"

Of course, the key role of destroying the beast must be handed over to Nereus.

"I can do it, I can do it..."

Enduring the extreme cold, Nereus, who flew into the air, soon projected a white ornate longbow in his hand.

Then, he put the arrow of light on the bowstring of the sacred bow, drew the bow to the full, aimed at the chest of the 'frost giant' foul beast, and shot.

The continuous rapid-fire arrows hit the vital points of the filthy beasts without any deviation. With the sound of mourning, the filthy beasts who were stabbed into the seriously injured bodies by the electric shock arrows were immediately lying on the ground, turning into dust and drifting away with the wind.

But not enough——

No matter how successful the three Digimon's cooperative battle is, the number of "frost giants" that appear has continued to increase, and the number has reached a hundred.

"We can't continue fighting anymore, we must go back to our partner to protect the safety of the two of us!"

Endless battles will only waste time. Lilith Beast can't keep Ryder too far away from her. She can't guarantee that there will be no other filthy beasts in the place where the two humans fled.

"I agree!"

Cut the throat of the 'frost giant' with sharp nails and kick it away.Basdimon agrees with Lilithmon's proposal, the number of enemies is really too much!What's more, every dirty beast has the strength close to the perfect Digimon!

"Basdi Beast, Nereus! Hurry up and join Ryder and Lucy. I will temporarily summon the poisonous mist to hold them back! Before the poisonous mist hits you, you'd better move quickly!"

It seems that Lilithmon is planning to use its trump card.

"Come with me, Nereus! Lilithmon's trump card is terrifying~~!"

Believing in Lilith's ability, Basdimon urged Nereus to hurry up and find Ryder and Lucy with her.

"kindness……"

Glancing at Lilithmon worriedly, Nereus followed in Basdimon's footsteps and flew towards Ryder and Lucy with her.

"Experience the pain, monsters."

Behind the sweet smile, there is a vicious killing intent.Lilithmon stretched out Nazar's claws, and drew a green magic circle representing the '□□' coat of arms in the void.Then, she gently opened her mouth, exhaling black miasma.The black curse appeared together with the miasma, and the poisonous black mist surrounded and shrouded the 'frost giants' rushing towards them.

at the same time---

"Oh, this is the worst 'marathon' ever! Those monsters are in hot pursuit!"

Running desperately, Lucy did not forget to look back at the other 'frost giants' that were chasing them.

"At least for now we're still the leaders in the 'distance race'."

Holding the light-bladed sword in his right hand tightly, Ryder pretended to be relaxed and echoed Lucy's words.Lilithmon and the others should join us soon, as long as we maintain the current escape speed, we should be able to avoid the threat.

"Watch out ahead!"

Amidst Lucy's exclamation, Ryder stopped in his tracks.A taller 'Frost Giant' foul beast appeared, blocking the escape route of the two of them.

"Hey!"

The body was pushed aside forcefully, and Lucy, who got up from the snow, happened to witness Ryder raising a sword and rushing towards the 'Frost Giant'.

"Oh my God! Are you crazy?!"

It was too late to stop, Lucy saw the right hand of the 'frost giant' was covered by thick ice, and then bent down and smashed towards Ryder.

Thankfully he's a smart guy.Ryder didn't intend to attack head-on, but when he rushed towards the 'Frost Giant', he suddenly bent down and slipped through the open legs of the beast, avoiding the attack.The 'Frost Giant' who noticed that the prey appeared behind him immediately turned around, but at the moment it turned around, Ryder raised his light-bladed hand sword.

The sharp blade just inserted deeply into the throat of the 'frost giant'.Then, Ryder abruptly withdrew a single-handed sword from the wound on his throat, and the 'Frost Giant' foul beast, whose neck was fatally injured, quickly collapsed to the ground.

"Well, I still underestimate you."

Lucy thought she was worrying for nothing.Ryder seemed to get used to fighting very quickly, but he couldn't do anything, so he was really a bit unwilling.

"If you get hurt, Mina will have even more dislike for me."

For the battle, Ryder is also very helpless, after all, Lucy is Mina's best friend.What's more, without the auxiliary spell of Lilith Beast, I might have been easily killed by the Unholy Beast.

"Well, I hope you won't make her too sad in the future. She didn't tell me the truth about the matter between you. "

"Haha, after all, being indifferent to her is my fault."

Just when Ryder laughed at himself about Mina's indifferent attitude towards him, the "frost giant" beast that was chasing him also approached them.

Sure enough, Lilithmon's urging was correct!

Basdi, who was coming, just saw that the 'frost giants' were approaching Lucy and Ryder.She spat, and jumped over like a galloping cheetah, parrying and parrying the foul beast's attack with her sharp claws.It's really cold enough!

"Hey, it's really timely, Bustymon..."

My partner is indeed the best!Seeing her arrive in time, Lucy had a smile on her face.

"If it is not in time, we will regret it very much. You stay where you are for the time being, Nereus has a way to deal with these big men."

Just as Basdi Beast was speaking, a 'Frost Giant' flew towards her and slammed its sharp claws towards its knee.Knees shattered and the 'frost giant' fell to its knees.

"Well, Nereus will definitely project a more powerful bow and arrow. But before he launches an attack, you may have to work a little harder."

Ryder pretended to be optimistic about the "frost giants" who appeared one after another and surrounded the three.

"It's easy to get in their way."

Basdimon's answer is very confident.Because she believed in Nereus' 'imagination' and his 'creativity'.
