VII. The seal that was lifted
"Why, why? Why must they fight?”
The girl muttered helplessly.
[Because everything is as they say, the battle between darkness and light has long been destined.]
A deep voice sounded in Mina's mind.
"Who…?"
Mi Na looked around but didn't see anyone.
Little human girl, do you want to stop them?]
the voice asked.
[Answer me--]
"Yes, yes!"
Mi Na said with certainty.
"Because this kind of struggle is really meaningless.”
[I will fulfill your wish…]
The voice continued to enter Mi Na's mind.
Whether it's stopping the fight or returning to the original world, I can achieve it.]
[But you have to help me.]
"What should I do?"
The situation did not allow her to think too much, so Mi Na asked anxiously.
[Help me remove the seal.]
Then, a pitch-black mist appeared and enveloped Mina.
Seeing the dark fog, the Digital Elves flew away in a panic. The Digital Egg in Mina's arms was also restless.
"This is…"
Seeing this strange black mist, Mina revealed an uneasy expression.
The Holy Angel Beast and the blood-sucking magical beast in the battle did not notice that the girl was enveloped by the black fog and then disappeared.
—7—
After the black fog dissipated, it took a full ten seconds for Mina to regain her vision. She looked around with a blank expression.
"Where is this…?"
What entered his eyes was a deep blue, as if he was in another world. Silver schools of fish swam past his eyes.
And he was standing in a transparent sphere, like a bubble.
"Is this the bottom of the lake…?"
Mina looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. Logically speaking, one should not be able to breathe in the water. Perhaps it was because she was in the sphere, but Mina could still breathe smoothly.
The bubble moved steadily to the bottom of the water. Due to the limited space, the air inside the bubble did not flow smoothly.
He could feel the pressure and buoyancy surrounding his body, as if he was walking in water.
Not long after, light came from under the girl's feet. He bent down and looked down. At this moment, there was a weak impact from the bubble.
The girl saw that there was a huge black fog at the bottom. The fog was surrounded by strips of green light that looked like bar codes. One of the strips of light was white and attached to a black lock.
Mina turned her gaze to the front, vigilantly watching the dark fog. Although she could not see anything, she could feel the terrifying power in the fog.
For the first time in her life, Mina felt fear. The immense pressure of the existence hidden in the darkness almost suffocated her.
At this moment, a deep and loud voice sounded. It was the voice that had appeared in his mind just now.
Little human girl, in order to fulfill your wish, quickly unseal me!]
His voice was filled with urgency.
"What should I do…?"
Mina looked at the thick fog in fear. The white Digger Egg in her arms was still restless.
Purify the Lock of Darkness with the sacred Digger Egg.
Following the guidance of the voice, the bubble floated towards the Lock of Darkness. Every time it got close to the Lock of Darkness, the holy light of the Digital Egg grew stronger.
“... Purifying Darkness Lock…"
Mina slowly raised the Digger Egg and aimed it at the Lock of Darkness.
In an instant-
The Lock of Darkness resonated with the Digital Egg. The Digital Egg emitted a dazzling white light that shone on the black lock. At the same time, the black lock also emitted a black fog to resist the intense white light.
Following that, the black fog's resistance became weaker and weaker. It dissipated in the white light, and the lock gradually shattered because of the white light.
The moment the Lock of Darkness shattered, the streaks of light surrounding the black fog also disappeared.
The sealed existence had been released.
Hahahahahaha!]
The voice laughed wildly, and the lake water began to dry up rapidly. Countless thorns stretched out from the black fog and rushed into the sky.
" Ahhhh!!!"
The bubble protecting Mina was sent flying by the thorns. The bubble fell to the ground and shattered, and Mina fell to the ground. The white digital egg rolled weakly to the side.
But at this moment, an unexpected change happened…
"What happened?"
The rumbling sounds around them forced the Holy Angel Beast and the blood-sucking magical beast, who were still fighting, back to reality. The Holy Angel Beast looked around and muttered to itself in surprise.
The sound got louder and louder as it got closer and closer, and the ground began to shake violently.
The blood-sucking magical beast seemed to have sensed something. It suddenly looked up at the sky, and the Holy Angel Beast followed his gaze.
At this moment, the thick fog in the sky dissipated, and a gray sky appeared.
A strange change suddenly occurred in the sky. Ripples appeared in the sky.
Suddenly, the gray sky shattered like a mirror, and countless pieces of the sky fell from the sky.
What replaced the gray sky was another scene. The bustling steel city was like a mirage in the sky. One could vaguely see humans walking in the city. This should be the human world.
And this glance completely stunned the two of them.
The two of them had never expected that the human world would actually appear in the sky above the Otherworld.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a large number of thorns appeared and spread, quickly covering the entire city. The floating city in the alternate dimension instantly became Thorn City.
"How is that possible?"
The Holy Angel Beast could not help but be shocked. It glanced at the blood-sucking magical beast, thinking that it must be the other party's doing. However, what he did not expect was that the blood-sucking magical beast's heart was completely occupied by shock.
"Woo! Wuuu!"
The few Numerics that had left flew to the front of the two in a panic and cried out in panic. Then, he pointed at the place where the thorns appeared.
"Do you want me to go there?"
The Holy Angel Beast understood the meaning of the ancient ancestor.
An intense uneasiness began to spread from his heart. Perhaps it was worried about Mina, the Holy Angel Beast turned to where the girl should have been standing.
Mina and Digger Egg weren't there. At the same time, the Holy Ring on his hand resonated in the direction of the thorns.
"Could it be…That child is there…?"
The Holy Angel Beast quickly realized something.
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow whistled past. The blood-sucking demonic beast flew in that direction.
"Damn it!"
The Holy Angel Beast also flew over.
※※※※
“... 'Why…' Will it be like this…?"
What entered Mina's eyes was a strange city covered in thorns and debris. There was also the terrifying monster that was as large as a small mountain, wearing dark blue armor and covered in thorns.
Mi Na hugged the Digger Egg tightly and trembled in fear. That monster was liberated by her own hands.
"Foolish human girl!"
The monster smiled contemptuously and slowly walked toward the girl. Every time the huge creature stepped down, the ground would tremble slightly.
"Thank you for removing my seal…I will help you fulfill your wish!”
The monster suddenly raised its fist and threw it at Mina without warning. Mina could only close her eyes in despair. With a loud bang, almost half of the city wall collapsed under the heavy blow of the tail. However, to the monster's surprise, the attack missed.
"Hmph, looks like you've really been deceived this time.”
A familiar and calm voice sounded. Mina opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of a blood-sucking magical beast. Mina noticed that the hand that was holding her was starting to burn slightly from the holy light emitted by the Digger Egg.
" Blood-sucking Magical Beast, let her go!"
The Holy Angel Beast that rushed over saw Mina and Digital Egg at the same time and roared.
"As you wish."
Surprisingly, the blood-sucking monster let go of Mina easily and let her go without threatening her.
"Mi Na, are you hurt?"
Seeing that Mina, who was hugging the Digimon Beast, seemed to have suffered a lot of shock, the Holy Angel Beast said worriedly.
"No, I didn't. Sorry, because of me, I freed the monster!”
Mi Na, who was hugging the Digger Egg, almost cried.
"Monster…"
The Holy Angel Beast raised its head and looked at the huge magical beast. The evil aura emitted by the Digimon Beast was exactly the same as the aura he had sensed when he passed by the lake.
"Argos Beast! What exactly do you want to do?
The Holy Angel Beast questioned the Digimon Beast called Argos Beast loudly.
After hearing this, the Argos Beast suddenly chuckled.
"Answer me!"
The Holy Angel Beast was angered by this mocking laughter and took a step forward as it shouted loudly.
"Hmph hmph hmph…How stupid. Can't you see the obvious answer?”
The blood-sucking magical beast's mocking voice came from behind. The Holy Angel Beast turned around and saw the blood-sucking magical beast smiling at it as it spoke in a cold voice.
"An alternate dimension created by imitating the human world, as well as the cracks in the sky that show the scene of the human world. The Argos Beast's goal was obviously the human world.”
"It's my world."
Mina's face paled when she heard the blood-sucking magic beast's answer.
"What?"
The Holy Angel Beast was stunned at first, then it looked at the blood-sucking magical beast warily.
"Don't tell me you're in cahoots with the Argos beasts? Did you plan to invade the human world?”
"What do you think? It seemed that he had spent too much time in a peaceful era. Even his thinking ability had declined?”
The blood-sucking magical beast mocked the Holy Angel Beast coldly.
"The evil dark digital beast will never change its nature!”
the Holy Angel Beast said angrily.
"Enough! Stop arguing! Are you going to fight in such a situation?”
At this moment, Mina raised her voice to stop the fight that was about to break out.
"Hehehehe, you're right."
The Argos Beast laughed.
"That little human girl didn't want you to kill each other, so I simply lied to her and easily removed my seal.”
"I hope the angel and the Digimabeast can reconcile, hahahahaha!!! It's too laughable!"
“... As expected, I…Very stupid…"
Mina, who was deeply affected by the other party's words, lowered her head sadly.
"You... Is that really your hope?"
The Holy Angel Beast looked at the girl.
"Yes…"
The girl nodded gently.
"That idea is indeed very foolish.”
The blood-sucking magical beast's expression was very indifferent, denying the girl's hope.
" But foolish hopes are childish ideals that are gradually abandoned after understanding the cruelty of reality. Unrelated people with low tastes had no right to criticize people with childish ideals.”
[A blood-sucking demon beast?]
The Argos Beast did not get angry at being mocked by the other party. It sent an invitation to the blood-sucking magical beast.
You and I are both virus-type digital beasts. How about becoming my subordinate? If I rule the human world, you will get everything you want, and your status will be second only to me.]
"You guys!"
After hearing the other party's words, the Holy Angel Beast cast a hostile gaze at the Argos Beast.
"Hmph, you deceived a weak human in order to be released from the seal. Your ability truly disappoints me, so…I find it difficult to agree to your proposal.”
The blood-sucking demon beast shook its head with a bitter smile, but there was no smile in its eyes. Its eyes were as sharp as swords and filled with power. Sparks flew when it collided with the eyes of the Argos Beast.
"I'm also the Dark Night King. As a 'king', I can't bow to others.”
Hmph, what a pity. Then you can die with this hypocritical angel and the stupid little human girl!]
After saying this, the Argos Beast paused for a moment. A huge black hole opened up on its chest, and green eyeballs opened up from the black hole, spinning strangely.
“... How disgusting…"
Looking at the eyeballs in Black's mouth, Mina felt afraid.
The eyeball in Black's mouth began to shoot out red rays of light that were filled with destructive power, aiming at the three of them.
"Hold me tight!"
The Holy Angel Beast hugged Mina tightly and immediately flew off the ground. At the same time, the Vampire Beast also flew into the sky. A large number of bats were released from their cloaks to form a huge barrier to block the light attack.
The red destructive rays exploded when they touched the bats. The bats only slowed down the attack of the destructive rays. However, there were still rays of light that pierced through the bats and shot straight to the ground.
Instantly, a huge hole was blasted in the ground, and the heat wave in the air also blew against the wind.
"What a terrifying attack!"
Cold sweat trickled down the Holy Angel Beast's forehead. If it had suffered such an attack, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Holy Angel Beast, tell that child to find a safe place to hide. We'll temporarily join forces to deal with the Argos Beast.”
The blood-sucking magical beast was the first to react. It looked at the Holy Angel Beast calmly and said.
"Stop joking! As a holy angel Digimon, how could I possibly cooperate with an evil dark Digimon like you!”
The Holy Angel Beast glared at the blood-sucking demonic beast, its tone filled with disdain and disgust.
"It doesn't matter if I fight alone. However, after I'm destroyed, you and this little human girl will become its next targets. Can you guarantee that you can defeat it alone? You don't want this little human girl to be killed by the Argos Beast, right?”
"Oh!"
The blood-sucking magical beast's words made the Holy Angel Beast speechless. What he said made sense.
The Holy Angel Beast was no fool. The Argos Beast was in its ultimate form, and as a complete form, he might not be able to defeat it. Moreover, he had used up a lot of energy in the battle with the blood-sucking magical beast, so the hope of defeating it was even slimmer.
If they didn't join forces, they would die. If he joined forces with the blood-sucking magical beasts, he would have a chance of victory.
"Alright then…"
After thinking for a while, the Holy Angel Beast agreed with great difficulty.
"If you do anything despicable again, I will definitely execute you first!”
After settling Mina down, she saw the Holy Angel Beast and the Blood-Sucking Magical Beast fly towards the Argos Beast resolutely.
"No! You guys are no match for such a terrifying monster!”
"Even so-"
The Holy Angel Beast looked at the Argos Beast in the distance and said with a transparent smile.
"Protecting others is also my mission.”
"Isn't it natural to fight for survival? Little human girl, I'm not interested in your world, but you don't want your world to be invaded and destroyed, do you? Do you want to lose the life you once had?”
The blood-sucking magical beast looked at Mina and asked.
"Of course not…Everyone is important to me. Dad and Mom promised me that they would definitely return to my side."
Mi Na replied softly.
"Then wait patiently. Use your last hope to pray.”
After saying that, the Lord of the Night turned into a black shadow and disappeared.
"Mi Na, I'll leave the Digger Egg to you. We won't die.”
After revealing a gentle smile, the Holy Angel Beast flew up.
It flew towards the incomparably huge Argos Beast that was moving on the ground.
