Chapter 144: Keep It Bound

Smoke filled up the place, and the boss started spawning. Yet, even though Ed couldn't see the boss, he knew it wasn't Mehen. Just the quality and amount of QI this boss had allowed him to figure it out. The boss this time was a large blue Scorpion, like the one Ed killed before. It could use freezing flames, but it wasn't much of a challenge. The tenth boss was another Gryphon, while the eleventh was a Unicorn.

The Unicorn had many abilities. But as expected, Merry who was the strongest boss of the eleventh floor could kill it with ease. Ed also gave Merry the ability to use Nen, and she turned out to be a Transmuter. He told everyone to hurry up and make their Hatsu, so they would have time to develop it. Ed himself had already finished his.

Due to killing the bosses, Ed actually managed to level up to Heavenly Establishment level 5. Although most of the Exp was gotten from the Eleventh floor's monsters. Another week passed, and now the final boss was going to spawn. Ed and the others were tense, as the enemy would probably be tough to beat. Ed had an idea about the type of the monster that would be the top of the tower.

The same thing happened with this boss, as smoke came out of the circle and this time, it filled the whole floor. No one could see the boss, but they could feel its QI. The QI felt evil, everyone got a fright from feeling it. It was also the biggest amount of QI they ever felt from a monster, even above Ed who had the largest pool of QI among them. The smoke receded and they got a good look at the twelfth-floor boss.

A fifty meter long Dragon was standing in the middle of the floor. Its body was black, and no part was an exception. It was a western Dragon instead of an eastern one. Unlike the wyverns, it had four limbs and a pair of wings on its back. The end of its tail looked like a mace ball, as it was round and had spikes on it. The back of the dragon also had spikes rather than a smooth back. A ride on this Dragon would not be comfortable.

"Everyone be care-" Before Ed could complete his words, the Dragon attacked. It wasn't a gigantic wall of flames, nor was it the Dragon itself attacking using its body. Instead, it was a simple concentrated beam of black QI. Its speed was unfathomable as no one could see it. Only Ed knew that the Dragon attacked, as the beam punctured his chest and left a hole. Even the chainmail armor that protected Ed's vitals all the time was broken by this attack.

'Shit!' Ed couldn't help but swear. He immediately grabbed a Healing card and crushed it before he could collapse. The hole was slowly recovering, but Ed didn't have the time to take it easy. The Dragon was continuing his assault. Ed's companions put up their guard and went into protection mode. They all stood in front of Ed in order to protect him. They felt shame since they let him get injured.

The Dragon released another one of its dark beams, but this time Merry stopped it. She surrounded herself with white magic energy and stood in the way of the beam. Little by little, the magic energy was decreasing. After a little, the beam hit her directly but didn't injure her. She clad herself in Nen, more specifically Ken, and used Ryu to concentrate her aura on the hit zone. As the beam weakened as well, she wasn't injured.

"Are you okay?" Ed asked her.

"Yes." Hearing her confident answer, Ed rushed and followed his companions who already started their assault on the Dragon. Before they got close to him, the Dragon flapped its wings creating several Wind blades. These blades were sharper than normal Wind blades, but Ed and the others managed to dodge them all. But, they couldn't dodge what was coming next. The Dragon's scales shined in a red light, and it howled with its face upwards. A wave of flames was released from its body and surrounded everyone in an instant.

The attack's was comparable to Ed's Providence Blade, a concentrated mass of Qi and flames. As expected, they were injured. Only Sieg, Ed, and Raikou managed to escape the attack. Ed withdrew some potions and quickly helped the others drink it. However, before he could reach Suika, the Dragon targeted her and used its giant hand to crush her. Ed's heart skipped many beats. He almost turned berserk. Luckily, he managed to notice a few feathers. Merry managed to save Suika using her feather control ability just in time.

"Agumon, it's time to digivolve," Ed told Agumon to digivolve into his last form, Wargreymon. What better way to fight a Dragon, than a Dragon?

Agumon's mega form is a humanoid Dragon form. He is able to retain an orange color, but all of its body is clad in the Chrome Digizoid. His back is equipped with two shells that bear the crest of courage. His hands had two claw weapons called the 'Dramon Killer'. Although it is the strongest digivolution, up to now, it is also the smallest. WarGreymon stood at around three meters tall.

WarGreymon didn't waste any time and attacked the Dragon. The latter retaliated using its beam, but WarGreymon managed to block it. He used the two shells on his back and fused them into a shield. This shield was extremely tough and managed to block the beam without even a single scratch. "Great Tornado!" WarGreymon used one on his abilities and started to spin rapidly. An orange tornado formed around him as he drilled into the body of the Dragon. Up until now, Ed and the others only managed to injure the Dragon, but WarGreymon managed to draw its blood.

The Dragon's cultivation is a Heavenly Establishment level 10. Its abilities are higher than its cultivation. But, WarGreymon managed to injure it thanks to his Dramon Killers. Which have an extra damage boost when used against Dragons.

"Keep it up, everyone!" Ed rushed towards the Dragon, and all of them attacked him. The opening WarGreymon created wasn't going to be wasted. All of them used their special attacks, managing to draw blood every time. Even WarGreymon used his Gaia Force. He gathered the energy from the atmosphere and turned it into a giant ball of flames. But, this one was a little special. WarGreymon also used QI and Nen to further increase the destructive abilities of his Skill.

The Dragon was now a lot more injured than before, yet it could still fight. It was about to use the large-scale attack, same as before. Ed didn't want the others to get hurt, so he recalled them, and Raikou went into his Shadow. The Dragon's skill was different this time since it wasn't a wall of flames. It was a barrage of beams that attacked in every direction. Ed disappeared from the arena, managing to dodge all the attack. He teleported into a pocket dimension which he kept open for such cases. He didn't manage to react fast enough last time, but he was able to now.

After reappearing on the Arena, Ed summoned everyone. "Keep it bound, I'll finish it." Ed knew that even if they used a lot of skills, they wouldn't be able to finish it off. Light injuries could be healed instantly by the Dragon. Instead, he was going to release one single attack, enough to kill it in one hit. To do that, he was going to use his special Nen ability, his Hatsu.

Hello everyone. Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 145: Binary Code

Ed kept only Shusui in his hand. He stood still and started using his most powerful technique, the Providence Blade. Except it was different this time. Ed would usually charge up the technique while approaching his opponent. This way it would allow him to release the technique at its full power. This time, however, he was far away from the Dragon. Since the Dragon was not a stupid beast, it knew Ed was preparing something, so it attacked him.

Of course, the others weren't going to let him do what it wants so easily. Raikou used his Shadow circle ability and focused on one of its legs. Since the scales were too tough to be broken through by his shadow only, he decided to use them as bindings instead. Dozens of shadow whips surrounded the leg and pulled it down, making the Dragon unbalanced. Every time one of the whips tore apart, two more took its place.

"Oraaaah!" While sounding like a delinquent, Gobuta used his entire strength as an Enhancer and struck the left front leg of the Dragon. Since Raikou bound its left hind leg, the Dragon lost its footing and fell to the side. It roared and attempted to get, only to be struck by lightning. "Lightning Shower." with a calm voice, Sieg used multiple lightning magic abilities at once. Even the Dragon's magic resistance couldn't keep up with the damage.

Without giving it anytime to rest, Suika and Merry targeted its eyes. Suika turned her hand into a spear and jammed it directly in the iris. Of course, she didn't stop there but injected a not-so-small doze of poison into the eye. Merry used many enhanced feathers to stab the eye many times. But, the Dragon managed to react to it. It regained its balance and stood up, all while releasing a beam towards Merry. However, a red flying slash, or more accurately a stab, countered it. Goburou was using his special ability many times in succession in order to put a stop to the Dragon's beams.

"How long, Ed?!" Sieg asked him in a hurry. The Dragon was getting used to their attacks and would break free if given time.

"1 minute!" Ed answered them. A darkness, unlike anything they saw before surrounded his sword. It was as if a black hole manifested itself on his Katana.

The Dragon noticed this and went berserk. It could feel danger coming from Ed's sword. "Grrrrr!" It growled at them, releasing a shockwave made by sound. Everyone almost flew by this shockwave, and barely managed to hang on. The only thought keeping them fighting was Ed. Raikou's shadow binds almost failed, but Garu used his Ice magic to freeze the back part of the Dragon. It looked like a giant iceberg suddenly appeared. This help came in time, allowing everyone to focus on the front part of the Dragon. WarGreymon managed to puncture the second eye of the Dragon using his Dramon Killers, making the Dragon blind.

"Thank you, everyone," Ed spoke to them and finally moved. A minute, which seemed like an eternity, finally passed. Everyone was full of injuries, yet they never once doubted Ed.

"I'll let you have a taste of my Providence Blade: Final Countdown Version!" Ed's Hatsu was called 'Final Countdown'. This ability allowed him to enhance anything for a certain period of time. The Limitations he put on it were the following: First, he can't move while enhancing something. Second, the lowest time he can set is ten seconds. Third, if he breaks any of the first two rules, he won't be able to use Nen for a week. As an Enhancer, Ed stuck to the basic and decided on a simple ability. Yet this simple ability proved to be very powerful. Even a couple of minutes using this ability would guarantee catastrophic results.

Shusui was covered in darkness, and black lightning zapped around it from time to time. It looked as if it could bend the light around it. Ed didn't waste any more time and teleported right in front of the Dragon. The Dragon could feel him coming, and swiped with one of its hands. Ed used his Conqueror's Haki, making the Dragon flinch. "Activate the Berserk skill!" Ed decided to go all or nothing on this attack. His Berserk skill would allow him to double his physical abilities while sacrificing his cognitive ones. Since Ed was using the last bit of KI on this sword skill, he would lose consciousness as soon as it is executed. So he thought about using the Berserk skill instead of being used by it.

Ed released the skill with the last bit of mental ability he had. He was relieved to see that his companions were out of the range of the attack. A gigantic sword slash was released; it was bigger than the Dragon itself. "You damn Ningen (Human)!" the Dragon cursed as it was being eaten alive by the skill. Soon, it was pushed to the edge of the ring, colliding with the barrier. Yet, even the unbreakable barrier, broke under the pressure from the skill. It continued on until no one could see it anymore.

Ed, who was falling to the ground, was caught by Raikou. He was unconscious, but as if he could feel the victory, a smile was formed on his face. Both Merry and Suika used their healing magic to heal everyone. They were all exhausted but still did their best. Even Agumon reverted back to his baby form which was called Koromon. He looked like a pink ball with wide eyes, a large mouth, and long ribbon-like ears. Every time he used up his energy, he would revert to this form.

Ed woke up after a full two days of sleep. The first thing he did was thank his companions for believing in him. The next thing he did was cook a feast since everyone was starving. He used the boar, camel, and bison meat. Everyone had their fill and slept for almost an entire day.

"Now, what is this about?" Ed looked towards a magic circle on the ground. "we were always teleported forcefully, so why use a circle now?" Ed was doubtful about this sudden change. However, something in the circle started to change. '01110100 01101111 00100000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100110 01101100 01101111 01101111 01110010 00100000 01110011 01110100 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01101111 01101110 00100000 01100011 01101001 01110010 01100011 01101100 01100101 00101110 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100111 01101111 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110011 01100101 01100011 01101111 01101110 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101111 01110111 01100101 01110010 00101100 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 01101110 01100111 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100011 01101111 01100100 01100101 00101110'. A series of incomprehensible numbers appeared in front of him.

'Isn't this Binary code?' Ed's programming skill activated, and the numbers changed to words. 'Second tower?!' a couple of words shocked Ed.
