Ed was stumped for a while. He could have been given a month to guess what monster he would get, and Agumon would be his last. In fact, he might not have made it into the list. Ed was hit by a wave of nostalgia and immediately crushed the two cards. Information about the use of Telekinesis flooded his brain. Pain took over his senses. After a while, His eyes, that were clouded by the pain cleared up. In front of him stood a yellow dinosaur-like lizard that was less than one meter tall. His feet and hands had three claws each, and his eyes shone in green brilliance
"Yo!" Agumon raised his arm and waved at Ed. 'His attitude is not any different from the series' Ed thought to himself. "Do you have something to eat?" Agumon's hands caressed his stomach as it grumbled. Ed laughed at the sight and started cooking some food. Everyone ate together as usual, but now a lively addition was added to their ranks.
'How come his rarity is Legendary?' Ed asked the system. He knew that Agumon who is a Digimon, or digital monster, has many evolutions which could be accessed. But, they needed specific conditions.
[The conditions are not in place since you got the card thanks to me.] The system's words helped Ed relax. [But, he can only evolve three times. Any more and you would need to unlock it by Upgrade cards] the system explained further.
'Three times. That means only at the Mega form.' Since Agumon is a Digimon, he was ranked according to his evolution stage. It was divided to rookie, champion, ultimate, and mega. Other evolutions or de-evolutions existed, such as baby forms or super mega forms. Agumon being a Legendary monster meant that he had the ability to access his Mega form directly. Ed felt relieved, as this meant a powerful addition to his team. His twenty Gacha tickets were not a waste.
"It's time to train," Ed announced as he stood up. Thanks to his system, he found out that his dimension could be kept for a total of one normal day. This gave Ed the ability to stay inside for two days. Now, with the eight of them, everyone had their own training partner. Agumon faced off against Ed, who asked him to transform into his champion form. As the light that surrounded Agumon grew bigger and bigger, so did his aura. A gigantic dinosaur emerged, with orange skin that had slash-like blue patches. A brown armored head, and two horns that sprouted out of the side of his head and pointed upwards. Another horn sprouted on top of his nose.
This was Agumon's champion form, called Greymon, and in this state, he was over 6 meters tall. When fighting many weak opponents, his size would definitely give him an advantage. However, that wasn't the case with Ed who was an expert at fighting. Greymon's signature abilities are called Mega Flame, and Great Antler. The first one consisted of spewing out high-temperature flames that rendered everything into ash. The second move was a charge that served to impale the opponent with his front horn. Both of these moves did not work on Ed.
Seeing that the battle was one-sided, Ed asked Greymon to evolve once more. Or since he's a Digimon, it would be more accurate to call a digivolution. Agumon's Ultimate form is MetalGreymon. As the name suggests, it is Greymon with a mechanized body. But, not all of its body is turned into metal. Instead, its head, chest, and left arm are made into a machine by a metal called Chrome Digizoid. MetalGreymon's head looks like a metal helmet thanks to this digivolution. He also gains three pairs of dragonfly-like purple wings. Of course, its battle prowess increases tremendously.
MetalGreymon had the ability to fly and use long range attack other than flames. His metal arm could extend and slash, or, the opponent. As it was made from an extremely rare metal, it was very sharp. Ed clashed with MetalGreymon a couple of times and deduced that his armor was very tough. Ed would need to use Haki and Nen in order to break through it. MetalGreymon's strongest ability was the Tera Destroyer. He releases two missiles from his metal chest. The explosion that resulted was incredibly powerful, that it made everyone stop to look at it. 'They did say that is was comparable to a nuclear blast…' Ed thought with a wry face.
"We'll stop here for today." Ed stopped the training before Agumon could undergo his digivolution to Mega form. After the training, all of them took a bath and ate once more. Ed cooked up two different dishes, one camel, and one boar. He was thinking about whether or not to use the bison meat he had but decided on another day.
Morning came, and as Ed was preparing to enter the mountain, he was surprised by Raikou and Gobuta's requests. Both of them asked Ed if they could remain here. Apparently, the shadows and darkness were beneficial to both of them. Ed could understand Raikou's case since he is a Shadow Wolf, but he didn't know about Gobuta. Thanks to the system's explanation, he knew that Gobuta's race title (Demon Lord) gave him an affinity with darkness. Absorbing it in this barren land where light can't reach would definitely improve his abilities.
Ed also asked the system about the significance of the title.
[What you will hear next will shock you.]Indeed Ed was shocked. By the system's words that sounded like a cheap advertisement.
[As a Demon Lord, he has the ability to command other monsters. Currently, the number is set to five monsters, but it will increase if he evolves. Also, the monsters will be turned into cards, but won't be counted into the maximum amount which is now ten. This is only if Gobuta is summoned, if he is not they will count.] Ed was indeed shocked. He didn't notice it when he summoned Agumon, but the number of monsters he could summon t once had increased. Still, Ed didn't forget to ask the important question. "How does he get these followers?"
[Either monsters choose to follow him on their own, or he simply kills them. He killed many monsters before, but his ability didn't activate as both of you didn't know about it]. Ed always wanted to ask about his title but didn't have the chance. It wasn't exactly a loss since not a single monster, other than Mehen, impressed Ed.
Hello everyone! I noticed that some of you are still confused about what I said in chapter 139. No, I will not be dropping the novel, it was simply a joke.
The only reason why I would consider dropping the novel is either some uncontrollable situation in real life or if its rating hits 3.5 or lower, as that would mean I messed up big time.
Enjoy the chapter^^
Ed and the other spent one month on this dark land. Although Ed could travel up the mountain and come back, he preferred to stay with his companions. While Raikou and Gobuta did their thing, Ed and the others didn't stand-by. Instead, they trained, trained, and trained. Ed now set the Gravity multiplier to x50. This was the highest he could set and still maintain a long time in the dimension. Instead of two days, he could only stay for one day.
Ed also tried the initiation ceremony of Nen with Agumon and was successful. However, after trying the water divination test, nothing happened to the leave. Ed kept some leaves in his Inventory for such cases, and it proved to be a good idea. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do the test. 'Maybe this means he's a specialist.' Ed thought while looking at Agumon. "What's wrong?" Agumon asked him with concern as if worried if he did something wrong.
"Nothing. Want something to eat?" Ed told him while smiling.
"Of course!" As usual, Agumon was the most energetic. Maybe it was because he's the one that ate the most.
As they were eating, Ed looked carefully and studied the changes of Raikou and Gobuta. Raikou's size increased a little, but that was not the important change. A dark thick mist was stuck closely to his body. It seemed like a shadow that was stuck between a liquid and a solid state. His QI increased, making his aura a lot stronger.
Gobuta's skin was darker as well, and the tattoos on his arms extended to include parts of his chest, stomach, and neck. Same as Raikou, his QI and aura both became stronger. He also told Ed that he now has the Darkness attribute.
Ed stayed for an extra week to allow Raikou and Gobuta to stabilize their abilities. He was certainly losing time this way, but it was for the sake of his companions. It would also play a useful part in the future if they were to get stronger. After sorting everything out, Ed and the others went inside the mountain. The mountain was large. Large was an understatement, Ed guessed that the base of it was as big as his own Kingdom. After entering, he the first thing he noticed was a ceiling above him. As well as a multitude of monsters.
The monsters were like a basketball in size and released light. Ed scanned them and found out that they are Will-o'-wisps. Each one of them had a cultivation of Heavenly Establishment level 5. However, they were fairly easy to beat. Their strongest ability was their self-destruction, which was like a small bomb detonation. But this ability failed against Ed and his companions. Each one of them had high defensive capabilities. With their thick layer of Nen, they weren't hurt if they paid attention to the attacks. Ed managed to level up thanks to killing them. He also dropped two Gacha tickets, giving him a total of six.
After doing a check up on the whole base of the mountain, Ed managed to find a spiral staircase. The staircase lead above the ceiling. On the second floor, a flock of three-legged crows filled the whole place. These crows were called Sanzuwu. Their cultivation was Heavenly Establishment level 4. But, their true abilities were comparable to a level 6. Ed decided to use his pocket dimension and rest before fighting all of them. There were more than one hundred of the monsters. It would be foolish to challenge them without a full reserve of energy.
Ed spent two days to kill the crows. He used a hit-and-disappear tactic, as he kills a group of them and retreats into his pocket dimension. It was the first time Ed used his ability to keep it open even while he wasn't inside. The crows were extremely ferocious and would attack anyone in sight. If it wasn't for Ed's abilities and his companions, he would have been overwhelmed by them. Due to him leveling up on the floor below, he only managed to gather a good sum of Exp, but not level up.
Ed spent another month in scaling the mountain from inside. As the challenges grew bigger, so did the time needed to surmount them. Two more floors existed before he reached the top. On the third floor, a group of Centaurs existed. At first, Ed wanted to simply look for the staircase and leave. Although they had the lower body of a horse; their similarity to a human made him want to spare them. Yet, the Centaurs were aggressive towards him, which brought his wrath upon them.
'It was my fault for trying to be considerate.' Ed blamed his naivety and retaliated. The Centaurs only had a high cultivation, but not a strong ability. They used arrows enhanced with QI, and that was it. Their physical abilities were also high, but still lower than Ed's group. After killing them, Ed got nothing except Exp.
On the fourth floor, Pegasus groups existed. They were completely white, and their wings gave them the ability to fly. Unfortunately, they were also aggressive and attacked Ed. Contrary to the Centaurs, Pegasus's abilities were strong. They could use Light magic for healing and support, and Fire magic for damage dealing. In the end, Ed spent most of the month fighting them. Luckily for him, he managed to level up and get one Gacha ticket, for a total of seven.
After climbing the final staircase, Ed found that he was at the top of the mountain. The top was above the clouds, and the sun's light hit him in the face. The inside of the tower was dark, except for the last two floors where the inhabitants used magic to light it up. Only a slight breeze of air filled the place. The mountain's top wasn't pointy. Instead, it was like a dead volcano's mouth. In the middle of it, a majestic building spanned almost the entirety of the top. It was similar in architecture to the Acropolis of Athens. This fact, coupled with the gentle rays of the sun, gave it a heavenly feeling.
'That's the boss' location I believe.' Ed thought to himself as he advanced to the building.
