Chapter 202: Magnamon? Whatever, Forget About It
"To think she's facing Examon directly?"
Ever since Belle began her battle with the Dragon Emperor, Dynasmon had been closely observing the fierce combat situation between the two sides.
"Even if Examon was heavily wounded by Gallantmon, he is still not an existence an ordinary Ultimate Level can defeat."
As Dynasmon spoke, he assumed a combat stance, his aura flaring. "I have to do something—"
Yes, that was right.
As mentioned before, under Crusadermon's "persuasion," Dynasmon had chosen to join Mizuki's camp. Of course, the fact that King Drasil's current actions severely deviated from his own sense of justice was also a very important factor.
Since he had made his decision, he naturally couldn't stand by and watch his companion fall into danger.
As one of the former Royal Knights, Dynasmon was well aware of their terrifying strength.
To face such an existence, the combat power of every Ultimate Level was crucial.
Thinking of this, Dynasmon spread the massive wings on his back, preparing to launch himself into the sky.
However, before he could take flight, a figure silently appeared before him, abruptly interrupting his actions.
Dynasmon: "..."
Even though the deafening hum of battle echoed from the sky from time to time, this immediate area seemed strangely, suffocatingly silent at the moment.
Of course, this intense contrast all stemmed from the overwhelming existence standing before him.
Just then, a cold wind blew past. Beneath a fluttering white cape, a blade gleaming with a chilling light was revealed.
Omnimon.
Facing their former colleague, Dynasmon and Crusadermon assumed combat stances in perfect unison, their bodies tensing for a clash.
As for Mizuki, he was securely protected behind them.
"Dynasmon, look for an opportunity later and take Mizuki away!" Crusadermon whispered sharply.
"Crusadermon, you—"
"I'm not leaving."
The two Digimon, who had been conversing in low voices, both widened their eyes upon hearing these words.
Mizuki had arrived by their side at some unknown point. The blade and shield that usually masqueraded as everyday items had now reverted to their true, magnificent forms.
At this moment, Mizuki's right hand was tightly gripping a brilliant holy sword, while a Dragon-headed Great Shield burning with raging flames floated obediently by his left hand.
"I've said before, I prefer to treat you as companions rather than subordinates," Mizuki said, his voice calm but resolute.
"Coincidentally, I don't have the habit of abandoning my companions and running away alone."
"Mizuki—"
Seeing this, Dynasmon originally wanted to say something to persuade him, but after sensing the immense aura emanating from the holy sword and the Dragon-headed Great Shield, a wave of sheer amazement welled up in his heart.
'This power... is it an Ultimate Level?''No, it hasn't quite reached that level yet, but... it absolutely shouldn't be underestimated...'
Dynasmon recalled Mizuki's firm tone just now. Perhaps considering that it might be highly troublesome to forcibly take Mizuki away given his current strength, Dynasmon ultimately suppressed that thought for the time being.
"However, once the situation gets out of control—"
"I know. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
Mizuki smiled faintly and finished Dynasmon's sentence.
While they were conversing, interestingly enough, Omnimon, who was positioned directly opposite them, remained entirely silent.
He neither spoke to interrupt nor moved to attack.
He just watched quietly.
Taking in the reactions and camaraderie of their group.
Whether his silence was because he was familiar with the stubborn style of his two former colleagues and knew that persuading Dynasmon and the other would be useless, or for some other hidden reason...
...only he himself probably knew.
But regardless of his thoughts, one thing remained constant—Omnimon's gleaming blade was always aimed directly at Mizuki.
"I say, when was the last time we all gathered together like this?"
Just then, a somewhat lazy, drawling voice reached their ears.
Crusadermon tilted his head slightly and saw a figure slowly descending from the sky.
Crimson armor, a heavy shield, and that iconic holy crossbow.
Without a doubt, the newcomer was Kentaurosmon.
"We're all colleagues, so why make things so tense?" Kentaurosmon remarked casually as he landed.
"Kentaurosmon, if you're here for small talk, I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood right now."
Crusadermon glanced at Kentaurosmon, his tone a bit subtle and guarded.
Compared to die-hard loyalists of King Drasil like Omnimon, Kentaurosmon was undoubtedly more like a wage earner who just did his job to collect his pay.
Or rather, ever since King Drasil changed, Kentaurosmon had started just drifting along, doing the bare minimum.
However, that didn't mean they could afford to let their guard down against him.
"Where is that guy Magnamon?" Crusadermon asked.
"Kentaurosmon, are you really that comfortable letting him get involved in that battlefield?"
"Aren't you worried he might die? Or turn into that stupid state again?"
"Both are possible; that's the answer." Kentaurosmon waved his hand dismissively. "But for me, it doesn't matter anymore."
"After all, I can't stop him."
Seeing Kentaurosmon's completely "lying flat" attitude, Crusadermon was silent for a few seconds before squeezing out a few words: "...Very insightful."
Just as these two were about to continue their "small talk," Omnimon, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"Kentaurosmon, if you intend to stop me, I suggest you give up on that idea."
Dynasmon: "..."
Kentaurosmon: "..."
Compared to Dynasmon, who was somewhat out of the loop, and Mizuki, who was happily watching the show, Crusadermon and Kentaurosmon exchanged a knowing glance after hearing Omnimon's words, and then shrugged in perfect unison.
"He said so."
"I know."
"So, enough with the nonsense!"
As the words fell, Crusadermon was the first to strike.
"[Spiral Masquerade!]"
Four razor-sharp sword belts extending from his armor launched tricky, unpredictable attacks from various angles at an extremely rapid speed.
Facing Crusadermon's vicious assault, before Omnimon could even act, Kentaurosmon stepped forward and raised his sacred shield to effortlessly block Crusadermon's attack.
"Tsk, you're still the same, always fond of surprise attacks," Kentaurosmon said, glancing at Omnimon behind him. "Hey, Omnimon, I'll stall one for you. Can you handle the other?"
Normally, Kentaurosmon wouldn't ask such a stupid question.
But anyone with eyes could see that Omnimon's current state wasn't great.
Not his physical state, but his heart and spirit—he seemed deeply conflicted.
However, in response to Kentaurosmon's inquiry, Omnimon's dull eyes merely glanced at him before he pulled his gaze back.
"Whether it's one or two, it's meaningless to me."
With that cold declaration, he charged straight toward the location where Mizuki and the others stood.
Seeing this, Kentaurosmon couldn't help but shake his head; at the same time, Crusadermon shouted a desperate warning.
"Dynasmon, I'll take on Omnimon! You keep an eye on Kentaurosmon!"
"Only you can deal with his speed right now!"
"I've got it!"
As Crusadermon's words fell, Omnimon's extraordinary Sword slammed heavily onto the Pile Bunker on Crusadermon's arm.
The violent clash created a terrifying shockwave that spread in all directions, tearing up the ground beneath them.
"One-on-one, and then two-on-one?"
Seeing Crusadermon fall into a disadvantage in his very first clash with Omnimon, Mizuki didn't hesitate to control the Dragon-headed Great Shield to bite fiercely at Omnimon from the side.
"It's actually three-on-one!"
While Omnimon's body was momentarily caught by Mizuki's Dragon-headed Great Shield, just as Dynasmon was about to land a devastating punch on Omnimon, a crimson figure appeared before him in a flash.
"No, it's two-on-three!"
"Kentaurosmon!"
Accompanied by a heavy, resounding thud, Dynasmon's heavy punch was firmly blocked by Kentaurosmon's shield.
