Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

Page 80

Birdramon glared at Flamemon for stealing his lines, but dared not act recklessly in front of Takuya Kanbara, so he forced a smile and said, "Hehe, me too."

Although Takuya Kanbara is now a humanoid Digimon, his immense power and regal bearing have won over Birdramon, who is willing to set aside his beast form pride and choose to follow him.

Takuya Kambara waved his hand and said, "I have no intention of taking on subordinates."

The Flame Beast said, "Then I won't be your subordinate. Just let me follow you."

The Bardora Beast said, "Me too."

“What I’m about to do is quite dangerous,” Takuya Kanbara warned.

He'll most likely clash with AncientGarurumon on his way there. Although Flamemon and Birdramon are strong, they're still far inferior to AncientGarurumon. If they get caught in the crossfire, they'll probably be turned into DigiEggs.

Even so, Flamemon insisted on going, and Birdramon said he felt the same way.

Since Takuya Kanbara was so persistent, he couldn't refuse them. He would leave on his own once he saw the AncientGarurumon.

Before that, let the Birdramon carry it and fly; that will save some energy.

He couldn't bear to see the fire beasts running on the ground, so he let them sit on the back of the Bardora Beast as well.

Birdramon's expression froze. He disagreed a thousand times over, but out of respect for Kanbara Takuya, he had no choice but to force a smile.

After flying for a while, Takuya Kanbara suddenly asked, "Birdoramon, you said this is your territory, so what will happen here after you leave?"

Birdramon said, "Of course it's been taken over by other Beast-type Digimon. There's a Black Birdramon next to my territory. It's been eyeing my territory for a long time. It should have sensed my departure as soon as I left."

Flamemon asked, "What's BlackBardoramon's personality like?"

Birdramon scoffed, "It's the kind of creature that tears Digimon to shreds when it gets angry."

If they encounter poisonous mushrooms, Birdramon will destroy the Mushroommon's village, while Black Birdramon will tear the Mushroommon and all the other mushrooms to pieces.

Takuya Kanbara frowned, patted Birdramon on the back, and said, "Let's go back to Mushroom Village first."

"what?"

Birdramon paused for a moment. He didn't want to deal with the mushroom beasts that had betrayed him, but since Takuya Kanbara had said so, he turned and flew towards the mushroom beast village.

……

Just as Birdramon had said, Black Birdramon sensed Birdramon's departure and flew over Mushroommon Village to attack Mushroommon, taking pleasure in the attack.

The mushroom beast was terrified and fled in panic, covering its head.

"Hahaha--!"

Seeing this, the Black Bardora Beast laughed even more heartily, reaching out a claw towards a mushroom beast, intending to grab it.

"Woof——!"

Just then, accompanied by a loud bark, an invisible wave instantly enveloped the Black Bardora Beast, causing it to stiffen and nearly fall from the sky.

Black Bardora shook its head and looked toward the source of the sound. A small, milky-white dog stood on the ruins. It was instantly filled with rage and malice.

"You mere growth stage dare to defy me? I'll tear you to pieces! Not even a Digi-Egg will survive!"

When a Digimon is killed, it usually leaves behind a Digi-Egg.

It's a generally accepted rule not to attack Digimon eggs, but there are all sorts of people in the world, and some Digimon will still break this rule and attack Digimon eggs.

Apart from naturally occurring Digi-Eggs, most Digi-Eggs are formed from the residual data of Digimon after their death, representing rebirth.

However, if even the Digi-Egg is destroyed, the remaining data will not be enough to form another Digi-Egg, which means it will be completely destroyed.

Therefore, destroying a Digi-Egg is absolutely taboo in the Digital World. Once a Digimon does such a thing, it will become the target of public criticism and an enemy of the world, just like a murderer in the human world, and will never be forgiven.

The little dog's pupils shrank: "How dare you do such an unforgivable thing!"

"If nobody knows, it's not unforgivable. Die!"

Black Bardora Beast chuckled sinisterly and then attacked Little Dog Beast with a claw. Little Dog Beast couldn't react in time, and the sharp claw was about to pierce her body.

In the blink of an eye, a golden light descended from the sky, piercing through the body of the Black Bardora Beast, then picked up the Little Dog Beast and performed a front flip to land on the ground.

Takuya Kanbara placed the dazed puppy-like beast on the ground, turned to the digitized Black Bardoramon, and said, "Our teacher said that children are humanity's greatest treasure, and the most serious crime in the world is to harm these treasures."

With a flick of his right hand, a pure white armed Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared.

"Evil and filthy soul, let me purify you with my Armored Digivice! Digital code, scan!"

The data of Black Bardoramon was scanned, and a Digi-Egg flew into the sky.

The little dog gazed at the golden figure before it with adoration, its eyes completely captivated.

Author's message:

P.S.: This is a foreshadowing of Chapter 21.

Chapter 118, Gray Wolf! Garurumon!

Without comparison, there is no harm. After the attack by Black Birdramon, the Mushroommons finally realized Birdramon's kindness and begged Birdramon to come back and protect them with tears streaming down their faces.

Perhaps because Birdramon was born from a firewall and naturally possesses a protective nature, it was moved by Mushroommon and decided to stay and continue to protect this land.

The Flame Beast, also a firewall creature with protective attributes, decided to stay and protect this land.

From then on, the sky was guarded by Birdramon in its beast form and the earth by Firemon in its human form. No one dared to invade, and the village lived in peace. As the news spread, more and more stray Digimon came to seek refuge, and the village grew bigger and bigger, becoming a paradise in a chaotic world.

"I'm sorry, Golden Beast, I can't travel with you."

Flamemon and Birdramon both apologized to Takuya Kanbara.

“That wasn’t a trip,” Takuya Kanbara corrected. “But never mind, finding what you want to do is far more important than following me. See you again someday.”

After bidding farewell to the two beasts, Takuya Kanbara left the Mushroom Beast Village.

"I want to travel with you."

A clear voice sounded from behind, like a little girl's cry.

"I've already said, this isn't a trip."

Takuya Kambara turned around and saw a small beast less than 20 centimeters tall. He said in a disciplining tone, "Little one, you're still too young..."

He paused here, carefully observing the little dog, and suddenly felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

Especially those bright eyes, it felt like I saw them every night...

Just like seeing pandas, passersby can't tell them apart at all, but after a while, they can immediately call them by name.

"A golden fellow~"

Takuya Kanbara put one hand on his hip and tapped his helmet with the other, saying in a low voice, "I think I understand, but I don't have any bones."

"Can't you?"

The puppy's eyes were glistening with tears; it was a sight to behold.

Takuya Kambara quickly replied, "Of course, come along."

The little dog jumped up excitedly and then hopped and skipped after Takuya Kanbara.

"where are we going?"

"Wild Wolf Forest".

"That would take at least three days."

As soon as the little dog finished speaking, it bumped into Takuya Kanbara's heel. With teary eyes, she touched her nose and complained, "Why did you suddenly stop?"

"Walking is too slow, fly instead."

Takuya Kambara skillfully cradled the little dog in his arms, then flew away on his own, transforming into a golden light that soared into the sky. The wind was cold at that height, but the little dog didn't feel cold thanks to the slight warmth emanating from Takuya Kambara's armor.

"Ah ah--!"

As they rose higher, the little dog covered its eyes and screamed.

Takuya Kambara slowed down and asked, "Do you have a fear of heights?"

If word got out that the three future angels have acrophobia, a bunch of Digimon would probably laugh themselves silly.

The little dog tried to open its eyes, looking at the towering mountains below that seemed as tiny as ants. After gradually getting used to the feeling of being high in the sky, it said, "I can't fly, and I've never been this high before! Woohoo—! Fly faster! Fly faster!"

The Digimon in its growth stage have a mindset similar to that of a ten-year-old child. Once they get used to high altitudes, they find it very fun, so Takuya Kanbara indulges them and lets them fly quickly on the wind.

"Chirp—!"

Suddenly, a bird's cry was heard, and it was a bird of prey resembling an eagle.

Takuya Kanbara and the little dog beast turned around in unison and saw a giant eagle flying rapidly towards them. It had a long horn on its head, white feathers on its head, and red feathers on its body. Its wingspan was about five meters.

Aquamon (Skyhawkmon)

It can soar through the sky at the speed of sound, possesses the eyesight to locate enemies at great distances, and when gliding at high altitudes to attack enemies, the horns on its head can exert tremendous power.

"Why is it chasing us?" the little dog asked.

"Perhaps we have intruded into its airspace."

As Takuya Kanbara spoke, he silently increased his flight speed, engaging in a high-speed and passionate battle with Agumon.

Agumon suddenly increased its speed to subsonic, catching up with Takuya Kanbara and keeping pace with him. Takuya Kanbara then made a sharp 90-degree turn, leaving Agumon far behind.

"Huh?!" Agumon's eyes widened, and it immediately slowed down and turned to chase after Takuya Kanbara. This time, it increased its speed to the speed of sound, and with a sonic boom, it left a white trail as it chased after him.

The little dog cried anxiously, "Faster, faster! It's catching up!"

Takuya Kanbara said, "If you go any faster, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

The little dog stubbornly replied, "I can take it, I'm very strong."

Takuya Kambara's lips curled slightly beneath his mask, and with a silent acceleration, golden light emanated from his body, instantly exceeding the speed of sound.

Agumon can fly at supersonic speeds, which is an incredible monster in the human world. Unfortunately, Goldmon can fly at supersonic speeds, giving it a significant advantage over Agumon.

No matter how hard Agumon tries, he can only follow in Takuya Kanbara's footsteps and get left in the dust.

"..."

In the end, Agumon could only watch silently as the golden light disappeared into the distance.

……

"Why did you stop?"

The little dog was enjoying the thrill of high-speed flight and was very happy, but Takuya Kanbara suddenly stopped, leaving her feeling awkward and unsatisfied.

"We've arrived at our destination."

Takuya Kanbara took out a map from his inner armor, unfolded it, and said, "This is the Wolf Forest. I wonder where the Ancient Garurumon is."

The puppy-like creature glanced at the map and said, "So you're looking for AncientGarurumon!"

Takuya Kanbara asked with great interest, "Do you perhaps have a clue?"

The puppy beast proudly said, "I've been interested in these legends since I was a child. I originally wanted to find the whereabouts of the ancient Sage Beast, but the clues went cold when I reached the Mushroom Beast Village."

"You're not far from becoming an Ancient Sage Beast," Takuya Kanbara thought to himself.

The little dog poked Kanbara Takuya's chest and chuckled, "You also want to verify the ancient legends, right? We're kindred spirits."

Takuya Kambara smiled without saying a word, and asked in return, "Judging from your tone, you've been to the Wolf Forest before, haven't you?"

“Yeah, it’s a pity we were chased out by Garurumon before we even got to the center of the forest.” Puppymon shrugged and then said, “But I heard there’s an Altar of Light in the center of Wolf Forest, I guess AncientGarurumon is there.”

Which direction is the altar in?

"there."

"Okay, let's go."

Takuya Kanbara flew in the direction the little dog pointed and sure enough, he saw a mountain deep in the forest. The mountain was beautiful, with lush greenery at its base and snow-capped peaks.

At the top of the mountain is a sinkhole nearly a kilometer wide. In the center of the sinkhole, on a small earthen mound, is an altar. Near the altar are five giant wolves, each larger than a car, with white fur and blue stripes.

Garurumon!

"Ouch——!"

The alpha Garurumon keenly noticed Takuya Kanbara's arrival, so it stood up and howled. The other four Garurumon also stood up and looked up at the sky.
