The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

"Don't worry, it'll be an even fight."

Skullmon suddenly interrupted Kanda Shu's speech. He stood still and looked at Omegamon.

"I prefer a fair one-on-one fight to a fight where the majority defeats the minority. Only this kind of fight can make me feel happy."

Omegamon and Kanda Osamu looked at each other at the same time. If they heard correctly... was the Skullmon in front of them telling them that no other paladins would come to disturb the battle?

"Such a decision should not be in line with the Royal Knights' combat strategy, right?"

"It doesn't matter. They won't care about these details." replied the Skull Beast.

"... Then come on."

Omegamon drew his Tyrannosaurus sword and Skullmon assumed a fighting stance, obviously not going to let them go easily.

But this is exactly what they think.

Dragon flames wrapped around the blade of the Tyrannosaurus Sword. There was no need to say anything more. This was a battle between paladins. An unstoppable hurricane swept around Omegamon and turned into a scorching storm.

The dragon flame roared on the sword, faintly transforming into the appearance of Tyrannosaurus, and then the Tyrannosaurus Sword fell forward violently, accompanied by a furious dragon roar.

Tyrannosaurus Hurricane Sword!

The Skull Beast took a deep breath. Facing the scorching hurricane visible to the naked eye, he did not try to fight back. Instead, he raised his left arm. The magic shield [Avalon] emitted a dark light and launched an iron-wall-like defense in silence.

God’s blessing!

An invincible shield that negates any attack within three seconds.

The blazing hurricane was originally like a roaring Tyrannosaurus Rex, but after crashing fiercely into the magic shield [Avalon], its anger gradually subsided. The skull beast swung its spear and pressed forward, colliding with the sharp Tyrannosaurus sword. Sporadic sparks flashed on it, making a sound of metallic friction.

"Omegamon, even now, you still don't remember what happened?"

A deep voice came from under Skullmon's visor, and the pair of crimson eye sockets stared at Omegamon like a dark knight. However, Omegamon did not flinch, and stared at him firmly with a fiery fighting spirit in his eyes.

"No, there are only fragments of that memory in my mind." Omegamon shook his head.

"Well, then there's nothing more to say."

The next moment, the huge magic spear [Claude Solas] tore through the air, and a supersonic shock wave like a shadow completely burst out from the tip of the magic spear. Omegamon standing in front of him felt an irresistible pressure. He swung out the Tyrannosaurus Sword, and the light of the Shield of Courage was released from it.

End of the waltz!

The magic spear was wielded in the hand of the skull beast, leaving behind one afterimage after another. The chaotic attack shook the defense of the Shield of Courage, and the energy barrier formed by the Badge of Courage on the outside began to show signs of breaking.

"Omegamon, Garuru Freeze Cannon!"

Under the elusive attack, Omegamon suddenly heard the order from his partner, and the Garuru Cannon on his right arm unfolded, emitting a cold light. While Skullmon was swinging his gun back, the Paladin's Garuru Cannon suddenly raised up, and then released a beam-like freezing cannon in front of Skullmon.

At this time, the distance between Skullmon and Omegamon was almost colliding. This attack was simply impossible for him to avoid, so Skullmon let out a low roar, and the freezing beam released by the Garuru Cannon exploded in front of him.

The two paladins were blown away by the shock wave at the same time. A dazzling blue light shot up into the sky from the center of the explosion, engulfing the vision of everyone present. After two or three seconds, the icy cold air completely dissipated.

"Cough cough..."

The skull beast hit by the beam let out a dull cough, and the parts below the right shoulder were all frozen. The originally dark purple time alloy armor was stained with dark light and shadow. Although it looked very embarrassed, this attack did not break through his defense, and he still maintained his combat effectiveness.

"You lost your memory... but you still retained your skills?"

Skullmon shattered the ice on his body. This attack was obviously beyond his expectations. While resisting the "End Waltz", he was able to raise his right arm to fight back. If Omegamon had completely lost his memory... he would not be able to do this.

A burning fighting spirit rose in the Skeleton Knight's eyes. Although he made a mistake in the previous confrontation, it also allowed him to witness the power of Omegamon. He was now looking forward to the next battle.

The next second, Skullmon pressed forward again, but this time, his main weapon became the magic shield [Avalon].

Chapter 161: Victory or Defeat

The Skull Beast's offensive suddenly changed. The magic shield [Avalon] emitted a dark light and crashed forward like an indestructible iron wall.

It was also at this time that Omegamon realized that something was wrong and raised his sharp Tyrannosaurus sword, but it was immediately blocked by the absolute defense of [Avalon].

As a Royal Knight, Skullmon possesses strength and skills that are no less than his, and... he also knows his moves very well.

"Why should we help humans? Omegamon, shouldn't the Royal Knights obey the orders of God?" asked Skullmon.

He raised his magic shield [Avalon] and pressed it directly against Omegamon's chest, then took a step forward. The huge magic spear [Claus Solas] fell from above, and the Skeleton Knight used all his strength to smash into his colleague in front of him.

Omegamon tried to withdraw, but failed. His body was firmly attached to the magic shield [Avalon] and he could not move at all. He could only watch the magic spear falling from above his head.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Omegamon was hit directly, and it was as if returning to the moment when facing Yellow Dragonmon. The Paladin's armor even let out a wail as if it could not bear the heavy burden.

Akimi Suedou only had time to see Omegamon being forced to give up his counterattack, and then his body flew backwards.

Both parties are Paladin-type Digimon at the top of the world. The Royal Knights are undoubtedly powerful, but there are still many differences in their structures. Omegamon has balanced combat capabilities, while Skullmon has solid armor and an invincible magic shield.

The power of the Royal Knights is intertwined within the "Exchange Point". If the battle took place in the human world, perhaps many people would have been affected by the battle.

"Release the power within you, the Chosen One."

When Omegamon steadied himself, the familiar hoarse voice of Suedou Akihiro suddenly came from behind him.

He smiled and spread his hands, an unspeakable madness appeared on his face, and continued: "I have solved your worries, you can release it to your heart's content, right?"

[Eater]...?

Kanda Shu tightly grasped the Tyrannosaurus Rex in his hand, and a strong feeling surged in his heart again...

Yes, after agreeing to Suedou Akihiro's plan, the [Invader] in their bodies no longer posed a threat to them.

The [Devourer] entrenched in their bodies has become a force they can control.

And now, he had a reason to use this power.

Kanda Shu turned his head and looked at Omegamon, his voice mixed with a hint of...hard-to-detect madness, like a declaration of a final decisive battle.

"It's time to prove it to me, Omegamon... Prove to me that you are stronger than him now!"

The power of [Devourer] mixed into the body of the Paladin, and the data space began to become unstable.

Since being infected by the [Invader], Omegamon has been suppressing the erosion in his body as much as possible. That's because he wants to maintain the "Zwart" form for a longer time. If he doesn't do this, with the frequency of his use of the "Zwart" form, he will soon be completely infected and turned into an [Invader].

But now, they no longer have such concerns, and Omegamon took the initiative to embrace the [Devourer] in its body.

The dark data seemed to have gained life and covered this body again. The fallen paladin dropped from the sky. After he transformed into Omegamon Zwart, his strength and skills were comprehensively improved. The aura he exuded was even more powerful than that of the Royal Knight before him.

The eyes of the Tyrannosaurus Sword and the Garuru Cannon flashed scarlet light and shadows. They swung their arms violently, and two completely different forces were released from the Dragon Sword and the Wolf Cannon, one like a strange solar eclipse, and the other like blood-red lightning.

The Skull Beast's mind sank as he sensed an unusual aura. Although he was keeping a safe distance, he knew very well that the upcoming battle would no longer be the same as before, and the fighting situation between the Royal Knights became increasingly difficult.

[Degree of erosion - 99%]

"Come!"

A dull voice came from the skull beast. He, wearing purple heavy armor, suddenly raised the magic shield [Avalon] and stepped forward. The ground of the entire data space trembled slightly under his influence.

Then, he came in front of Omegamon Zwart again, and invisible sound waves surrounded his magic spear [Claude Solas], like some kind of storm about to take shape, and the meaningless fight was about to end.

"Welcome...your end!"

The roars of Kanda Shu and Omegamon merged together, and the corrosive force flowed on the blade of the Black Knight. Without any hesitation, he raised the unstoppable Tyrannosaurus Sword in the blink of an eye, and the dragon flame like an eclipse let out a high-pitched roar.

"Skull Beast!"

A force beyond the Ultimate Form burst through the air and descended. The invincible Tyrannosaurus Sword instantly shattered Skullmon's divine protection, and then heavily slashed down on the Skeleton Knight's Time Digital Alloy Armor. Countless corrosive forces spread throughout Skullmon's body, causing a violent explosion inside.

The blazing white dragon flame rose up and engulfed the two royal knights in the next second.

……

……

In an instant, all sounds disappeared. Akihiro Suedou, who was standing not far away, only had time to summon out a [Devourer] before everything in his sight was engulfed by flames. All the energy of the Royal Knights was released.

The battle between Paladin and Paladin is over.

"It looks like... you guys won."

When the dazzling flames faded away, the cyberspace was still filled with a fiery atmosphere. Mingshi Suedou narrowed his eyes, walked slowly forward, and looked at the paladin in the front with a smile on his face.

“…It’s just a win, but it’s not the end.”

Kanda Osamu gasped and jumped down from Omegamon's shoulder. The originally imposing pure white knight became increasingly ethereal under the gaze of Suedou Akihiro, and finally turned into a stream of light and flew into Kanda Osamu's arms.

"Click——"

A hand stretched out from the scorching wind. It was simply unimaginable that after enduring the full-strength attack from Omegamon Zwart, Skullmon was still able to move. After gasping for dozens of seconds in the chaotic data waves, he finally stood up slowly.

"It was... a good fight."

Even though its entire body was covered in the strongest Time Digital Alloy, it was unable to withstand the attack just now. At this moment, Skullmon could feel intense pain all over its body, and its body made up of data was already showing signs of breaking, as if it had been eroded by the [Devourer].

"Royal Knights..."

Looking at the human figure in front of him, Skullmon whispered the name of the organization to himself. As if he thought of something, he slowly threw down the magic gun in his hand.

"You have won this battle, the Chosen One, Omegamon."

Chapter 162 Caught Off Guard

"Is it resolved? Then it's my turn to come on stage."

In a corner that was not easily noticed, a tuft of golden hair swayed slightly.

After noticing "unusual movements in the digital world", Kyoko Murumi, who insisted on investigating, returned to the digital world with Mikihara Noren. Although it was just a casual vibration, Murumi would never miss any clues.

However...their investigation has yet to produce any results.

After several searches, they could only confirm that the source of the vibration was indeed in the dark area, but they had no idea what exactly had happened.

In order to avoid accidents, Kyouko Kurumi decided to investigate for a while longer, but Noren Mikihara didn't want to stay there any longer. The whole world was filled with the breath of her nemesis "dynamic balance", which made her feel a little uncomfortable and she couldn't help but want to leave.

So after receiving the message from Kanda Osamu, Mikihara Noren immediately abandoned Kurumi Anko who was still investigating the "Digital World Anomalies", and directly entered the cyberspace and arrived at the Royal Knights' resting place - the "Exchange Point".

This kind of cyberspace, in theory, has extremely powerful anti-intrusion capabilities, but that can't stop Norn at all. As an isomorph of the World Tree, her authority in this area is almost unstoppable, and she didn't even have to spend too much effort to get in.

After seeing Omegamon Zwart directly take down Skullmon, Mikihara Noren, who was staying in the dark, couldn't help but clench his fists.

Finally... I have the chance to teach these traitors a lesson!

Mikihara Noren is eager to try.

We are all gods of the digital world! Why do you obey the orders of constancy?

When I was still the World Tree and was preparing to implement the Ark Project, you guys were making excuses and resisting?

A bunch of traitors...

Finally, the opportunity for revenge had come. Mikihara Noren couldn't help humming a song and taking brisk steps, intending to teach the defeated Skull Beast a good lesson.

Then, just before Kanda Osamu had time to catch his breath, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar sounded from not far away.

He cast his gaze towards a corner and saw a tuft of golden hair swaying slightly. Mikihara Noren, who was finally about to get what he wished for, trotted into the battlefield.

"You're really embarrassed. You look like this - ah, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the skull beast."

Norn shook his head in a sad tone and walked up to the skull beast with his hands behind his back.

"?"

The skull beast looked at the little pudding in front of him in confusion, and then a dull voice came from under the mask: "...Who are you?"

Then he turned to look at Kanda Shuu, signaling the chosen one to explain to him.

"she……"

Just as Kanda Osamu was about to explain, he saw Mikihara Noren turned around and glared at him fiercely, obviously not wanting him to meddle in other people's business. He opened and closed his mouth, and finally he had to hold back his smile and turned his head away from that direction.

The isotope of the World Tree!

The former boss finds the former employee to discuss business performance again!

Now we have to watch the fun.

Mikihara Noren was furious that she couldn't even recognize herself. She raised her head and shouted, "Look carefully! Who am I?"

The unique aura and authority belonging to the "World Tree" emanated from her body, and just standing there gave her a heavy feeling of pressure.

"..."

Skullmon was silent - he had wanted to say something, but now the situation was reversed, so he had to lower his head silently.
