"To be honest, a lot of our fighting is based on our own bodies. We don't know if you can learn it or not."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can become stronger, even a little bit, I will be satisfied."

After being saved by LeomonX last time, Climb realized how weak he was and how he didn't want to be in a situation where he couldn't do anything and could only wait to die.

In order to protect Lady Lana, he must become stronger.

But he knew better that he was not a genius. The strongest warrior captain in the kingdom had taught him, but his learning progress was very slow. He could only make up for the lack of talent with hard work.

"...You should practice with the sword fighting beast first. When it comes to this aspect of swordsmanship, he is more suitable for you."

Leomonx summoned Gladiatormon who was practicing with swords. Although he also used swords and had the title of [Beast Sword Fighter], what Climb needed was swordsmanship to protect people, and his own two-sword style was completely unsuitable for him.

“Here we go, Climb wants to learn swordsmanship?”

Gladiatormon stared at Climb with his big eyes.

"Yes, please."

"Leave it to me!"

It seemed that the fact that he had a disciple made Sword Fighting Beast very happy, and he slapped his hands on his armor, making a "bang bang" sound.

Climb's plan to practice sword fighting with the Gladiator Beast piqued Lana's interest.

A table and chairs were placed at the edge of the open space, along with a parasol. She sat there elegantly, looking at Climb expectantly.

The princess’ gaze gave Climb a lot of pressure, and he gripped the training sword even tighter.

The Gladiator Beast on the other side was holding a straight sword like Climb's instead of his usual rapier.

Originally, they were going to use a real sword. This was Climb's own suggestion, and the others had no objection. With them around, there was no need to worry about accidental injuries. However, because Lana suddenly wanted to watch, they changed to a training sword.

"I say, can sword fighting beasts really teach people?"

Warlockmon, who had been hanging out outside, also came back and sat at the edge of the field, waiting to heal Climb.

He didn't quite trust this noisy Gladiator Beast. Gladiator Beast used a rapier. Could he really use a straight sword? And from his angle, Gladiator Beast's ball was not even as tall as Climb.

"Don't think that Jian Doushou doesn't show his performance. In fact, he is a professional."

Leomon x frowned, refuting Warlockmon's distrust of their companions.

"He was taught swordsmanship by a Knightmon who joined the patrol team. He can use almost any weapon skillfully. Gladiatormon admires his master very much, so he also wants to evolve into Knightmon and join the patrol team in the safe zone."

"That's really amazing... Who was my master? Oh yeah, I remember it was a mysterious beast, and it usually got beaten up pretty badly."

The warlock beast pressed down the brim of his hat, feeling that the past was too painful to look back on.

"But thanks to him, our entire class is very skilled in close combat."

The staff turned several circles skillfully in Warlockmon's hand, and Leomonx discovered that the snowflake-shaped edge on the top of the staff was extremely sharp and could be used as an axe.

"...fine."

Leomon x didn't know what to say. Maybe there were Wizardmon in the world who preferred close combat.

While Warlockmon and Leomonx were chatting, Climb and Gladiatormon had already started fighting on the field.

The swordsmanship of the Gladiator Beast is standard Western battlefield swordsmanship. He holds the sword with both hands, and his movements are concise, crisp and neat, without many tricks. Unlike the brisk combos when using a rapier, each attack is powerful and powerful, a strength that cannot be seen from that round body. The fierce attack forces Clem to reveal his flaws.

Climb felt as if the hilt of the sword in his hand was about to slip out of his hand. Under the attack of the Gladiator Beast, Climb was a little tired of parrying.

Climb glanced at Lana outside the field and felt a surge of strength in his arm.

【fortress】

The blade deflected, deflecting the sword beast’s attack, and stepped forward. This was Climb’s only martial art worthy of praise.

【Slash】

The most common move, the one he had practiced thousands of times, the sword was raised high and chopped down suddenly.

The result was not what Clem wanted.

The sword beast forcibly took the move.

【Double Return】

He swung the sword and sent Climb flying. Fortunately, it was a training sword with no edge.

"Those are the strange moves. Did the sword beast learn them too?"

"My master gave it to me. They were required to learn a few fixed skills. The rest doesn't matter. My master gave it to me if he thought it would work."

Warlockmon over there pulled Climb up. Seeing that he was holding his chest and feeling a little uncomfortable, Warlockmon gave him some treatment.

"Are you alright?"

"Ahem, I feel much better now. That was really powerful just now."

"That should be considered a martial art in your terms."

Climb's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Please teach me!"

Climb knew that this was a shameful act. No one would be willing to pass on their best martial arts to others. Even at the martial arts gym in the royal city, one had to make various guarantees and pay a huge fee before one could learn their unique martial arts.

"But I don't know if you humans can learn it. Although it seems that any Digimon can learn it, it seems to come from another non-human species."

"I know. It's those Pokémon, right? I remember that there were some like Yumemon and Gardevoirmon from Wicherny College. They learned magic very quickly."

Gladiatormon was troubled, and Warlockmon told him what he knew.

“I will try my best!”

"Oh! I will try my best to teach you too!"

Gladiatormon was also inspired by Climb’s determination and shouted out.

Warlockmon shrugged. Although he was quite outgoing, he should be spared from staying with such a hot-blooded idiot.

"I'm going out."

After saying hello to Leomonx and the others, Warlockmon walked out. The competition was over and the next step was the practice phase, so there was no need for him to stay here.

"What should I do today?"

Warlock Beast was walking on the street, thinking about what other tasks he had taken and when he could level up.

"Leveling up is so slow... I'm only at Silver level after working so hard."

After complaining a few times, Warlockmon took the nameplate back.

"Come to think of it... I haven't been back for a long time. I heard that [Witcherney College] has opened a branch in [Aincrad]. Should I go take a look when I return?"

Because he had mentioned the topic of master to Leomonx before, Warlockmon suddenly remembered his school days.

"Warlockmon, I found something incredible. Are you free now?"

The voice of Pixiemon suddenly appeared in his ear, interrupting Warlockmon's memories.

"Hey, hey, hey, how can I refuse now that you've said that? Just tell me what you want to say."

"There's a strong dark energy in the city running around. Go take a look."

"What level exactly?"

"It's probably at the mature stage. I've also informed Leomonx and the others. You can go take a look at it soon."

"I see."

Warlockmon soon received the message from Pixiemon.

On a map of the royal capital, a red dot kept moving around.

"What the hell is going on here again?"

Warlockmon took out his staff and started running over there.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the dark aura. He no longer needed Pixiemon's map, which was as conspicuous as a stain on a white shirt.

The houses they passed by along the way were completely devoid of life. This should have been the most crowded slum in the capital, but now it looked like a cemetery, which made Warlockmon's heart rise to his throat.

"Hey! Don't move! [Virus Killer] Check for viruses!"

In a shabby house, the Warlock Beast kicked open the door and pointed his staff inside. Although he did not join the [Virus Killer], it did not stop him from taking advantage of others. After all, he was working for them now.

However, the situation inside the house made Warlockmon regret it.

"Um... can I say I took the wrong path..."

The black-armored warrior thrust the bloody blade into the corpse on the ground. The corpse quickly shrank, and the blade emitted an ominous light, and his aura increased as he absorbed the corpse's vitality.

The three eyes on the side of the armor facing Warlockmon have already directed their greedy gazes at the sneering Warlockmon.

The Warlockmon was quietly moving backwards, and the black-armored warrior turned around, and his seven magic eyes had already locked onto the Warlockmon.

The little fairy beast really screwed me over. How could there be a dark beast here?'

"I won't disturb your meal."

The Warlockmon slammed the door shut, but before he could run a few steps the entire wall was shattered by the Darkmon.

"It looks like there's no escape..."

Looking at Darkmon who was still staring at him, Warlockmon smiled bitterly and raised his staff.

Leomon x you guys better hurry up...'

The blood-red blade of the Gloommon stabbed straight at him. Warlockmon placed the staff in front of him. The snowflake-like staff shone brightly. The light attribute energy burned the armor of the Gloommon, and wisps of white smoke emerged. However, the Gloommon did not react at all. It rushed forward while waving the 'Blut Evolution'.

It was close to Warlockmon in an instant. Fortunately, Warlockmon's reaction was quick enough. Warlockmon, who was prepared, rotated his staff and used the snowflake branches on the staff to hold the blade. Looking at the bright red blade in front of him with a wisp of bloody breath, Warlockmon couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Crystal Cloud"

A blizzard containing extremely cold ice particles gushed out from the staff, temporarily forcing back the dark beast.

The Warlock Beast held a staff and confronted the Gloomy Beast. It seemed that the Warlock Beast felt that it would take a while to catch the prey, so it turned around and ran away.

Warlockmon subconsciously wanted to chase after it, but his mind told him that he was no match for Gloommon, and he watched Gloommon disappear into the darkness.

"No, no, something must be wrong..."

"There's something wrong with this dark beast..."

Warlockmon was pacing back and forth on the spot. He was born in [Witcherney School of Magic], so he naturally had a lot of knowledge and knew Gloomy Beast. This was also the reason why he was afraid before the battle. But from the battle just now, this guy was not the same as the Gloomy Beast in the information. He recalled the information carefully.

"Gloommon, a hybrid, demon-type Digimon with the power of darkness. The regrets of various extinct Digimon and the "Forbidden Data" on the Internet turned into strong dark energy and solidified into Gloommon. Dark energy and sacred light are opposite existences, and they are one and the same with those who possess the power of light.

His personality is completely evil, cold and ruthless. He is a perfectionist, and has the majesty of a devil who is full of confidence. He is invincible in sword fighting, and does not hesitate in his brutal attacks.

The special moves are "Ghost Dusk", where the eyes of various parts of the body light up and put the opponent into a hypnotic state, and "Conquer", where the two magic swords "Blut Evolution" absorb the opponent's power and use it for oneself. In fact, the three heads and seven eyes of the armor can act as different creatures, which is really

The evil is sealed there."

The Dark Beast should not be willing to slaughter civilians to absorb the energy from their corpses. Besides, the Dark Beast is not that weak, right? How could my light attribute magic actually work?

In Warlockmon's recollection, it was an extraordinary performance for him to withstand the first attack, not to mention that he temporarily repelled the opponent with ice magic.

The doubts don't end there. The Dark Beast shouldn't be the mad dog it was just now, right? From those eyes, the Warlock Beast only saw greed. This Dark Beast seemed to have only an instinctive desire to devour.

"Hey! Pixiemon! There's a big trouble! A strange Gloommon has entered the city!"

But the most important thing now is to defeat the Dark Beast as soon as possible. Warlock Beast rushed into one house after another, and as expected, the humans inside had all turned into mummies, so he quickly contacted Pixie Beast.

"ha?!"

Pixiemon couldn't believe it either. She only knew that there was a moving source of darkness in the city, but it was really unexpected that it was a Gloommon.

"This dark beast is very strange. It seems to have no reason. It only knows how to kill and devour. It is not picky about food. Shouting will only cause more trouble."

Warlockmon couldn't help but complain, the original Darkbeast would maintain its own style, at least it wouldn't go on a killing spree like this one.

"I will notify Leomon x and the others as soon as possible, please stay safe."

Pixiemon also understood the urgency of the situation, a Darkmon that was not picky about food, and if he was not stopped quickly, everyone in the royal capital would be killed and devoured.

After hearing what Pixiemon said, Leomon X and Giganotosaurus sped up even more. The passers-by only felt a gust of wind passing by them. Dragonmon in the sky also flapped its wings, speeding up even more.

The Warlock Beast had already caught up with the Gloom Beast, and was constantly casting magic from a distance to obstruct the Gloom Beast. He waved his staff to shoot out a luminous magic bullet and then immediately changed locations.

The Dark Beast, hit by the magic bullet, did not move, allowing the Warlock Beast to attack it. The white smoke coming out of its armor was smoothed out by the blood as it pierced human bodies one by one.

"Damn it, Leomonx, they should hurry up."
