Chapter 346: Make the World Feel Pain

Shuckle had never felt so gratified before.

The increase and decrease of speed in [Nightmare Space] was made possible by distorting space.

At this moment, Shuckle felt as though it could cover a thousand miles in one step, dashing over an extremely long distance with just a single swipe of its feet.

In such a state, it was completely unable control its own speed—this was really way too fast!

The rushing wind forced it to squint its eyes, but it had already firmly locked onto the position of the tentacle when it made its move, so the punch it swung landed almost instantly.

BOOM!

Followed by the rebound on its fist, the loud sound that made even itself feel astonished burst out in an instant.

The destructive force that exceeded its stat pierced through the tentacle's skin and tore it apart, driving straight in without a halt and smashing the muscle tissue underneath into paste!

The punch created a violent shockwave that blasted the flesh within the impact range, instantly drilling a bloody hole through the body of the tentacle.

When Shuckle opened its eyes to see the damage it caused, it was flying backwards due to the reaction force of the punch.

This well-behaved and calm child actually let out a slightly smug smirk.

Afterwards, Gatomon, who seemed to be moving in slow-motion, finally followed up with a Cat Punch.

As Gatomon's only offensive skill, the power of [Cat Punch] was indubitable.

The structure of its glove-claws was copied from the data of the claws of the Mega Level Digimon SaberLeomon, which were sharp enough to tear everything to shreds.

Originally, even if the tentacle's defense hadn't been halved, there was a high probability that it wouldn't be able to withstand Gatomon's sharp claws.

At this moment, it was even directly mauled open!

In front of Gatomon, the rock-solid hard skin was easily slashed apart like a piece of tofu.

This slash further enlarged the huge bloody hole that Shuckle had blasted through the tentacle, completely tearing apart one side of its body.

Only a thin layer of flesh was left to connect the upper and lower halves of the tentacle.

As a result, the upper half of its body tilted and toppled over.

Its tongue, on which a mouth grew, let out a panicked cry.

A large mass of pitch-black fog burst out from the torn up mess of its body, trying to reconnect its upper and lower halves.

But when a dark shadow flashed by, Devimon's tall figure appeared behind the gaping wound of the tentacle without warning.

Sporting an evil grin, Devimon swung its sharp devil claws at that remaining layer of flesh!

……

"Meow!"

Bouncing back to the passage, Gatomon immediately raised its head upon landing. It saw that the upper half of the tentacle had been completely cut off and was about to fall to the bottom of the abyss.

In addition, the lower half that had lost its head was also showing signs of retreating to the bottom of the abyss.

With the combined strength of four magical spirits, this tentacle was finally chopped off!

But Gatomon clearly knew about the purpose of Dark's act, so its eyes promptly shifted to the passage on the left-side wall.

The second tentacle was still burrowing into the passage.

However, right at this moment, an extremely jarring soundwave blared from that direction!

In the first place, Gatomon's hearing was sharper than ordinary people's. When the soundwave drilled into its head, it instantly felt a piercing pain in its brain, its hands moving in reflex to cover its head.

Similarly affected by the soundwave, Devimon alighted from its flight in midair, the power of darkness spilling over its head.

"What's that sound?"

In an instant, Dark instinctively covered his ears, trying to reduce the impact of the soundwave.

Dianna, Rose, as well as the rest of the magical spirits also successively covered their ears.

But as she covered her ears, Rose fell into doubt.

Although she had never heard such a sound before, an unseen connection made it feel familiar to her.

"Could it be Mobius Bug?"

Just as the six people from both groups were perplexed by the soundwave.

Inside the passage on the left-side wall, the surface of the second tentacle's body suddenly rippled like the ocean waves. Countless stacks of folds appeared on the outer skin covered with suction cups.

Then, the tentacle was actually blown out of the passage!

It wasn't until its head was also blasted out, violently trembling due to inertia, that the soundwave coming from the passage at last ceased at once.

……

"It's really Mobius bug, isn't it?"

Dark's group immediately confirmed the truth.

Rose tightly clutched the magic card in her hand. Feeling [Mobius Bug]'s rapid consumption of magic energy, besides being puzzled, she was also very pleasantly surprised.

It was the first time she had dispatched this magical spirit of hers in actual combat.

After experimenting with it, the only ultimate move she understood well was [Mobius Ring].

It made her know that her 3-star magical spirit possessed a defense ability that was beyond its level.

But as for [Energy Scale] and [Supersonic Wave], she had only tried using them once.

Because [Mobius Bug]'s attack stat was 0, [Supersonic Wave] didn't have any attack bonus. Its power was extremely limited—to the extent that there was none at all.

And [Energy Scale] was, to her, something that looked more like [Mobius Ring]'s subsidiary skill.

As [Mobius Ring] withstood the attacks, [Energy Scale] would increase. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

From [1] to [7], there were altogether seven scales.

Once it hit the highest number, it meant that [Mobius Ring] had reached its limit of endurance.

Aside from this ability, it didn't have much use.

But if the soundwave just now was really unleashed by [Mobius Bug]...

Rose suddenly realized that her understanding of her own magical spirit was very likely to be far from enough.

……

But judging by the current situation, [Mobius Bug] outperforming itself was probably not a good thing...

This point in time was when Dark's magical spirits were trying their best to cut off the first tentacle. Although the second tentacle had been blasted out, it was clear that it wasn't too seriously injured.

Perhaps due to having been severely oppressed by [Mobius Bug], it didn't have the slightest thought of going back to the passage. Instead, it set its sight on Dark's group of three.

Although the tentacle had no eyes, it gave off a very obvious feeling that it was peering at them.

……

"But this means that White's group should be safe over there, right?"

"I'm sure they won't go seeking death again..."

Dark quickly shut up—he didn't want to set up this flag.

It wasn't like he was particularly worried anyway.

If he really couldn't beat it, at worst he could just run away.

With Mismagius in place, it was impossible for the tentacle to catch up to them.

There was no shame in doing a tactical retreat.

"Tactical retreat."

Dark took a deep breath. It was really the time to run.

Aside from gaining a little actual combat experience, there was no meaning in continuing to wrangle with this tentacle.

After receiving his order, Devimon and Gatomon immediately began to retreat.

Upon seeing this, the tentacle let out a sharp hiss.

Then, like a poisonous snake coming out of its burrow, it lunged over in an instant.

Due to this move, Dark had a flash of realization.

The second tentacle and the first tentacle probably had independent consciousness.

They might indeed be two tentacles belonging to the same body, but this lifeform should be different from the octopus or cuttlefish he previously imagined it to be. Instead, its structure should be similar to the heads of a Hydra (九头蛇).

Thinking of Hydra, Dark thought of a possibility.

"It can't possibly also have the special trait where all of its heads must be cut off at the same time to kill it, right?"

He quickly curbed his own thoughts.

The level of danger in this hidden rift was obviously much higher than that of the second floor of the dungeon. Even if the monster hidden at the bottom of the abyss was really that powerful and difficult to deal with, that was a problem for the senior students to tackle.

Simply put—

It was none of his business!

And it was time to leave!
