Shuzo's tone carried intense confidence.
In truth, from the moment WarGreymon had appeared, he had sensed a pressure even stronger than Mew's.
That was precisely why he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
At the very first moment, he had Darkrai use a wide-range Dark Void, fighting on its own home battlefield.
They were both second-tier Legendaries.
And this was Darkrai's domain.
Shuzo believed Darkrai absolutely had the ability to win.
"Darkrai! Nasty Plot!"
A glow lit up across Darkrai's black body.
Its aura rose at terrifying speed.
Its battle power instantly increased by a huge margin.
"Dark Pulse!"
Darkrai's arms twisted and rippled.
The Dark-type energy covering the space seemed to be drawn in by an unseen force.
Like surging tides, it began converging toward WarGreymon's body.
Those layers of waves rose like a tsunami, carrying terrifying impact force as they swept in from every direction.
Boom!!
It was like a mountain collapsing.
Terrifying energy slammed into WarGreymon's body.
His two-meter frame seemed to have no resistance at all before that massive wave of darkness.
At the sight of this, Himeko's pupils abruptly contracted.
Inside Darkrai's nightmare domain, the moves it used caused damage many times stronger than usual.
The might of that mountain-like wave was simply too shocking.
Shiko's body was completely swallowed.
Wrapped in pitch-black Dark-type energy, not even the slightest trace of his figure could be seen.
"No way… Did he just get taken out?"
"It's possible! That move was way too exaggerated!"
"I didn't expect this Pokémon to be all show and no substance! I thought it would give us some shocking performance!"
"You can't really blame him. After all, this is Darkrai's home field!"
"Exactly. I think even another second-tier Legendary would suffer here!"
"That's right. Mew probably got defeated like this just now!"
"…"
In the distant stands,
the spectators watched the scene on the battlefield and discussed it among themselves.
Those waves of dark energy crashed one after another.
They released a powerful, terrifying, and pitch-black aura of dread.
The spectators present all subconsciously felt that this time, WarGreymon definitely would not be able to hold on.
Screech!!
At that moment,
a sharp slicing sound suddenly rang out.
That sound was especially clear beneath the layered howling of the surging waves.
Within the bullet-train-like tide of Dark-type energy,
a cross-shaped opening was forcibly cut open.
The opening grew larger and larger.
It tore the entire wave formed from Dark-type energy into four pieces.
WarGreymon's figure was revealed from behind it.
He stood there calmly and composedly.
The Dragon Slayer claws on his armguards extended outward.
Dark-type energy that had not yet dispersed still coiled around them.
It wrapped around them like strips of black cloth.
Buzz!!
His alloy steel claws lit up.
Within that endless darkness,
they burst with dazzling white light.
The black Dark-type energy wrapped around them
vanished in an instant,
like snow meeting flame.
This scene
made Himeko let out a breath of relief, and she felt much more at ease.
It also made the hundreds of thousands of spectators watching the battle boil over in an instant.
Even more than that,
it caused intense wariness and caution to appear in the eyes of Shuzo and Darkrai.
"Double Team! Shadow Ball!"
Darkrai's body
split into eight in an instant.
A full eight Darkrai spread out in eight directions around Shiko.
They curved their palms toward each other, and black shadows gathered around Shiko.
"My goodness!"
"Those Double Team clones can actually release moves!"
Sensing that the Shadow Balls in the hands of all eight Darkrai figures carried powerful energy fluctuations,
Himeko cried out in shock.
How was that possible!?
Double Team was only an illusion used to confuse the opponent!
But now,
Darkrai's Double Team clones could actually release moves just like the main body!
In other words,
Shiko was now facing a one-against-eight situation!
Was this the true strength of Darkrai inside its own domain?
The heart Himeko had just lowered immediately rose again.
A cold, murderous gleam flashed through WarGreymon's deep blue dragon eyes.
His speed
instantly reached a limit that the naked eye could barely capture.
With Extreme Speed activated,
his entire body darted like a streak of flowing light.
His alloy claws became wrapped in dense Dragon-type and Steel-type energy.
Dragon Claw and Metal Claw perfectly fused together.
In an instant,
before the Shadow Balls had fully formed,
seven illusions were brutally shattered by Shiko!
