Just a little more!
WarGreymon looked at Darkrai, who had already fully recovered.
Then he sensed the power and destructive force of the Gaia Energy Cannon.
With his sharp perception, he realized that if he wanted to pierce through Darkrai's defenses and finish it off in a single blow, he was still just a little short.
But!
The energy inside his own body had basically already been poured into it.
This was already his limit.
If he really could not take Darkrai down in one blow, then the outcome waiting for him might truly be getting worn down to death by the opponent's endless war of attrition!
Thinking of this, Shiko frowned.
This was not the result he wanted to see.
Damn it!
If this place were not Darkrai's Nightmare Domain, this match would definitely be easy to win!
Hm?
On Okano Shuzo's side, he saw WarGreymon's expression.
Then he sensed the energy inside that energy sphere and noticed that it showed no sign of continuing to expand.
He immediately understood what was going on.
The WarGreymon in front of him had probably reached his limit!
In that case—
A bright gleam flashed through Okano Shuzo's eyes.
"Darkrai! Now! Shadow Ball! Dark Pulse!"
Okano Shuzo gave the order decisively.
Right now, WarGreymon was waiting for that energy sphere to strike the energy core.
That meant he could not move.
Naturally, he had become an obvious live target.
As long as they seized this chance to defeat him, that terrifying condensed energy sphere would naturally disperse!
Whoosh!
The moment Okano Shuzo's voice fell, two pitch-black spheres of light filled with intense dark energy shot toward Shiko's body.
Immediately after that, the dense darkness shrouding the surroundings surged again under Darkrai's control.
Like a raging tide, it swept forward from every direction, carrying a violent impact as it crashed toward WarGreymon's body!
"Be careful!"
Himeko was so nervous that her heart almost leapt into her throat.
Damn it!
Looking at the incoming moves, Shiko cursed inwardly.
The small amount of Steel-type energy he had left instantly attached itself entirely to the Chrome Digizoid on his body.
There was no other choice.
Shiko could only choose to withstand these two attacks head-on.
However—
An unexpected scene appeared.
Those two Shadow Balls suddenly changed their flight trajectory when they reached Shiko.
With a sudden turn, they flew straight upward.
Hm?
Seeing this, Shiko initially thought Darkrai had deliberately manipulated them that way.
But with one look, it was obvious that Darkrai itself also had no idea what had happened.
Immediately after that, before anyone could react, the Dark Pulse, which looked like a roaring tide, came howling toward Shiko.
This time, an unexpected scene that left everyone stunned appeared once again.
The enormous surging tide, as massive as a mountain, was just about to strike WarGreymon's body.
But the instant it was about to hit him, it seemed to be drawn in by an immense force.
It actually crashed straight into the Gaia Energy Cannon, then vanished without a trace.
This...
What was going on?
Everyone present stared blankly at the scene.
The moves had clearly been aimed at WarGreymon.
So why had they suddenly and eerily changed targets?
Why had all of them gone toward that energy sphere that burned as fiercely as a sun?
Shiko was just as confused and stunned.
But in the next second, after sensing the changes inside the Gaia Energy Cannon in his hands, he reacted at once.
Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse—
At first glance, it seemed as if they had disappeared while colliding with the Gaia Energy Cannon.
But in reality—
They had all been devoured!
They had become part of the energy inside the Gaia Energy Cannon.
Hm?
Shiko suddenly made another discovery.
This newly absorbed dark power seemed...
It seemed like he could guide and command it!
So that was it!
He suddenly understood the reason.
The entire Gaia Energy Cannon had been condensed from the energy inside his own body.
And now, after the absorbed energy had been assimilated, it was naturally treated as part of the energy inside his body.
In that case, it was perfectly normal that he could guide it.
Then didn't that mean...
A rather bold idea instantly emerged in Shiko's mind.
In the next second, he guided the dark energy inside the Gaia Energy Cannon.
He pulled it out.
Then—
He poured it back into his own body and absorbed it in reverse!
