Capítulo 422: Upper Moon Six - Going Beyond Resurreccion!
The entire Entertainment District was in a state of utter destruction, with rubbles of broken houses breaking everywhere and burying the dying screams of many civilians.
Clankkkkk!
The sky of the destroyed city was full of red, blue, and black flashes.
Here and there, one could see sparks lighting the night's darkness as metals kissed each other.
Boommmm!
Not far from these metallic, sparkling sources of destruction, an even louder explosion was shaking the space, their might heavier and bloodier.
Thin blood pillars kept shooting out and took the shape of sickles, hacking at the target. Wherever, and on whatever, they landed, they sliced it up into the thinnest pieces.
Gyutaro, the Upper Moon Six, appeared on the roof of a half-broken building with a boom. His hunched back was dropping even lower now. The two flesh Kama in his hands felt loose. On his body, there were dozens of bullet holes, his flesh regenerating in the blink of an eye. And strands of blood flicked around him under the influence of his Blood Demon Art. [Image 1]
"What are you?" Gyutaro asked, his green-red eyes brimming with hideous killing intent.
Opposite him, flying midair was a man in a red Greatcoat, his eyes donning round, golden spectacles. His skin was stark white, veins squirming under his skin like worms.
Red Sun, now a level 2 Ephemeral Demon, blew the smoke off the colt's nozzle.
Gyutaro was puzzled to the extreme.
The strongest of the dual Upper Rank Six Demon just couldn't figure out the identity of these beings who had shown out of nowhere. First, it was the scent…
Muzan-sama… The name had popped up in their mind the moment they had sniffed the three newcomers.
Then there were the obvious demon transformation signs.
Gyutaro, however, couldn't sense even the slightest touch of familiarity from these demons. If that was all, then it wouldn't have been a problem. The thing was… these three were immensely strong. Stronger than all Hashiras, before releasing their Bankai, Gyutaro had devoured in the last hundred years.
Clankkkkkk!!
The metals screeched in Gyutaro's ears, making him look at the source of it. He could feel her… Daki, his sister. We must do it now…
Hundreds of meters away, Daki, the second of the Upper Rank Six, sensed her brother's thoughts. [Image 2]
Just as she was about to respond, an arrow swished through the space and planted itself in her back, going through and through. Blood splattered, flesh regenerated, and anger boiled within her chest like never before.
Daki's obi sashes, a manifestation of her Blood Demon Art, squirmed and waved around with a mind of their own.
And standing right in the middle of those sashes was demonified Moraine in her Mark 49 Iron Man Rescue Armor, wielding her claymore.
The obi sashes hacked, their edges sharper than swords, but got easily parried as Moraine weaved between them. The repulsors of her armor already provided her great freedom. With the extra Attribute Points, she looked like a blur.
Flying not too far, wielding Jet Wing, was Item-M.
In this battle, Item-M had no job but to provide assistance. Whenever and wherever she felt the opportunity, she fired an arrow. Sometimes they landed on Gyutaro, making him lose his footing, and sometimes they struck Daki, angering her even more.
Daki and Gyutaro shared one more glance. Yes, they agreed. It is time…
The brother and sister Upper Rank Six disappeared, leaving behind an afterimage, and reappeared in the very middle of the battlefield, surrounded by Item-M, Red Sun, and Moraine from three sides.
"Marvel at this… Haha!" Gyutaro grinned, licking the blood off his kamas.
"Hmph!" Daki snorted, her breasts heaving up and down.
The flesh kama in Gyutaro's left hand blurred and pierced Daki's stomach. One of the obi sashes surrounding Daki also shot itself and pierced Gyutaro's chest.
Booooooommmmmmmmm!!
A red pillar of dense, murderous Reiatsu shot up toward the sky, splitting earth, and everything that comes in its path, apart.
When the bloody hue dissipated, Gyutaro and Daki could be seen nowhere.
"Red Sun… behind you!" Moraine screamed.
Red Sun was already taking out RizeGreymon's Beast Ball. Unlike Item-M, and especially Moraine, his Stats leaned highly toward MP and SP to support his Digimon-based battle style. Even his Vash the Stampede's inheritance depended monstrously on MP, and less on the physical Attributes.
Still, Red Sun was a 10th floor Contestant, and the previous Top-level 9th floor Contestant. To play with an Upper Rank Six demon was nothing for him.
Resurreccion… was a different matter altogether, though.
Before Moraine's scream could even reach Red Sun, he had already aimed the colt's nozzle toward his back, putting the gun's body on his shoulder without looking. The Perception of a Contestant like him was no joke.
Bang!
The bullet fired… and ricocheted off.
Red Sun turned around and looked at the saw the demon, then, his eyes narrowing behind the gold spectacles.
Gyutaro had become over 12 ft tall, with hundreds of blood spikes covering his entire body like thorns. In his hands were 6 ft long flesh kama, joined to each other with a strand of pulsating blood. The very space around him thrummed as globules of blood kept popping in and out like vanishing raindrops.
Before Red Sun could throw the Beast Ball, Gyutaro's entire body disintegrated.
This…
Drops of blood fused themselves with space as if someone had wiped them away with a wet piece of cloth.
However, within a fraction of a second, hundreds of blood globules appeared around Red Sun. And from each blood globule, a Gyutaro appeared, grinning like a maniac.
Oh, shit! Item-M cursed, readying her Jet Wing. She just wanted to give the 10th-floor Contestant a chance to take out the Digimon. It would be a piece of cake then.
Moraine had already fired her repulsors, shooting toward Red Sun.
Suddenly, the entire world around the two girls shook, rippling like a piece of cloth. Item-M looked up and saw what she could only describe as a bewildering experience.
A 12 ft tall Daki had appeared in the sky, with an obi sash waving around her shoulders. There were two demonic horns on her head and her white skin had gained blotches of black. Somehow, the blotches only gave her an even more attractive appearance.
With a wave of her hand, the entire Entertainment City rippled.
Houses, streets, bridges, people, both dead and alive, and all things in existence, became two-dimensional as an ethereal, city-sized obi sash fell over them.
Item-M saw herself, Moraine, and Red Sun getting trapped within the obi sash in an instant. Meanwhile, hundreds of Gyutaro were still hacking at Red Sun as if unperturbed by their two-dimensional selves.
Oh-fucking-shit! Item-M cursed again.
Fuck!! Moraine cursed, too.
The thing was, none of the girls were too much worried about each other. Nor were they concerned about getting trapped.
It was because of Red Sun, through and through.
If Red Sun had taken out the RizeGreymon, then they would have easily pressured the two demons and capture them. Now that he hadn't… and knowing Red Sun's personality…
Item-M wanted to scream. Don't you dare do it, you idiot!
Moraine wanted to shout. We want them alive!!
"You all made me do this…" Red Sun casually commented.
Just as the Upper Rank Six demons had thought they had won the battle, Red Sun's entire right arm transformed, gaining a hideous, but beautiful, two-dimensional appearance. [Image 3]
Angel Arm!!
…
Everything got shredded to pieces as a soundless explosion lit the world up.
Item-M and Moraine fell to the ground, coughing blood. In the distance, Red Sun stood, holding the bloody stump under his right shoulder, his arm being pulverized by the use of Angel Arm Skill.
"You moron!!" Item-M hissed through her teeth. "Master wanted them… Alive!!"
"You… are gone," Moraine said, shaking her head. "You have no idea what you have done this time…"
Red Sun frowned.
Just as the three were about to argue again, they heard a sobbing voice.
The three Items simultaneously looked in the same direction. There, in the distance, a shredded body of Daki was lying, tears welling up in her eyes. Opposite her was Gyutaro, his red-green eyes just staring at the sky. He had nothing left under his neck…
"Wahh!" Daki cried, her body becoming ash. "I couldn't even use my Resurreccion properly! It's all your… Sss! Your fault, brother!"
"Mine!!" Gyutaro suddenly barked. "You worthless…" [Image 4]
Gyutaro's eyes trembled, ash creeping up his chin, now reaching lips… Ume… "Ume!!!" [Image 5]
"Can we at least save the blood bastard…" Red Sun spoke, approaching the ladies. "Then…"
Red Sun couldn't finish his sentence. Thoughts vanished from his mind. All things ceased to exist.
Not only him, but Item-M and Moraine's instincts screamed, their hearts giving out.
In the three Items' eyes, yellow crystals bobbed up and down as the Ad Infinitum's part implanted in their mind shared images and experiences with Kai.
But… it was already too late.
Even Kai wasn't that fast.
"Resurreccion…" a broken, helpless, but firm demonic voice reverberated throughout the world, originating from Gyutaro's non-existence throat. "… Segunda Etapa…"
There were no explosions or flashy signs…
Kai's hand reached out from Item-M's shadow, hoping to pull her down into the Shadow Space.
A wave of power hit the three Items first, their heads flying up as their bodies got sliced into mincemeat.
