Chapter 147: Frenzied Slaughter
"Oh no!"
Anyone could clearly see those four blood-red seeds—things released by Myotismon right before his death. Even the most foolish person knew this was no simple matter.
SkullGreymon, already in a downward descent, was simply powerless to intercept them, having to watch helplessly as the four blood-red seeds sped away.
They did not travel far; under the gazes of everyone present, they landed directly upon the bodies of the four overlord-tier Digimon.
"Roar!"
The moment the four blood-red seeds entered their bodies, Zudomon, Cerberusmon, LadyDevimon, and Okuwamon were all engulfed in a crimson glow.
In the blink of an eye, these four overlord-tier Digimon plunged into a state of frenzy.
"Good lord, those four Digimon seem to have grown even stronger!"
A defender stationed within the main base trembled at the sight.
They were already no match for them; now that these four overlord-tier Digimon had grown stronger once again, it was adding insult to injury for them.
A sense of powerlessness welled up in everyone's heart, and an emotion of despair gradually spread.
At the current rate, they were afraid they would not hold out until reinforcements arrived.
Thud!
SkullGreymon crashed down from the sky, smashing a deep crater into the ground.
Its eye sockets, burning with black and white flames, turned to look at the four overlord-tier Digimon. At the same time, the gazes of those four Perfect-level overlord Digimon locked onto SkullGreymon.
"Roar..."
The one to strike first was LadyDevimon. Relying on her aerial advantage, she ferociously launched an attack.
Wind Javelin rained down like a tempest upon SkullGreymon on the ground, and her entire body followed closely behind, surrounded by a massive whirlwind.
This was her other signature move, Sonic Two-Step.
Gliding at supersonic speeds from high altitude, she struck the enemy with a shockwave. The might of this move was formidable, and the shockwave hurtled toward SkullGreymon with incomparable velocity.
Any other Digimon might have feared the power of this move.
But this was SkullGreymon; its power vastly surpassed that of the LadyDevimon before it, and the two were simply not in the same league.
Zero-Altitude Cruise Missiles condensed along SkullGreymon's spine and blasted toward LadyDevimon as she hurtled down from the sky.
"Boom!"
An explosion rang out in mid-air. Under everyone's watchful eyes, LadyDevimon exploded like a firework rising into the sky.
The terrifying aftermath rippled through the heavens, causing the gray sky to churn continuously as more and more light filtered through the clouds.
"She's... she's dead?"
The remaining Digimon in the main base stared blankly at the scene in the sky.
LadyDevimon, who had inflicted countless casualties upon them, had actually just exploded like that in mid-air?
SkullGreymon, having killed LadyDevimon with a single blow, did not linger in place. Instead, it transformed into a white afterimage and appeared right beside Cerberusmon.
"Woof!"
The pressure emanating from SkullGreymon caused Cerberusmon to emit continuous whines, yet its body fiercely lunged forward to tear at SkullGreymon.
The dark flames in its mouth transformed into its strongest weapon, the scorching high temperature distorting the surrounding space.
"Roar!"
Had this been MetalGreymon, such extreme heat might have been difficult to withstand.
However, SkullGreymon had long since lost its sense of touch, so it naturally ignored such intense heat entirely.
With a wave of its hand, the Dark Death Claw savagely smashed down upon the skull of the Cerberusmon before it.
Crack!
The pristine white bone claw tore through Cerberusmon's defenses like a hot knife through butter, piercing deep into its brain.
"Whimper..."
A genuine cry of agony escaped Cerberusmon's mouth, and its consciousness finally regained clarity at that very moment.
Immediately afterward, it felt its body rapidly disintegrating.
"Bang!"
SkullGreymon stepped down with one foot, crushing Cerberusmon's body into scattered fragments.
Cerberusmon was dead.
In the span of just a few short minutes, SkullGreymon had successively slain Myotismon, LadyDevimon, and Cerberusmon.
Such formidable strength left everyone dumbfounded.
"SkullGreymon! Good god, a SkullGreymon has appeared in the main base!"
Having slain Cerberusmon, SkullGreymon pressed forward.
At this moment, the SkullGreymon forged of bleached bones finally appeared in full view of the remaining personnel at the main base.
Even more panicked voices rippled through the crowd.
Although the SkullGreymon before them had helped them eliminate two powerful Perfect-level overlord Digimon, that did not mean the crisis was averted.
In fact, the situation was even more perilous than before.
Because this Digimon was called SkullGreymon!
"Do not panic! Master-tier experts are currently racing to our aid. We must hold on, for the sake of the home behind us!"
Yu Mi's face was covered in grime as she continuously rallied the remaining Digicreatures around her.
Yet her gaze inevitably fell upon SkullGreymon, which had already appeared beside Zudomon and Okuwamon.
Reflected in the light, the menacing white bones were enough to send a chill through anyone at a mere glance.
"Tap, tap."
As SkullGreymon continued to advance, Zudomon and Okuwamon steadily retreated, their bodily instincts warning them of danger.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, SkullGreymon moved.
Swinging its body like a vicious wolf, it lunged fiercely toward Zudomon.
Hammer Spark!
Zudomon naturally would not sit idly by and wait for death. The instant SkullGreymon lunged, the heavy hammer in its hand smashed down toward SkullGreymon, formidable power erupting from its physique.
"Clang!"
The heavy hammer struck SkullGreymon's bone armor, producing a roar akin to clashing metal.
"Puff..."
SkullGreymon paid no heed to Zudomon's strike whatsoever; Dark Hellfire laden with a deadly aura spewed from its mouth, burning wildly across Zudomon's body.
A few breaths of time later, Zudomon had been transformed into a black-purple pillar of fire.
"Roar!"
A painful howl escaped Zudomon's lips. It could do nothing against these flames, having to watch helplessly as they scorched its flesh.
Thud!
SkullGreymon swung its bone claw, sending Zudomon flying, and cast its gaze toward the final overlord-tier Digimon, Okuwamon.
Click! Clack!
The black and white flames within its eye sockets gradually grew dim.
Eliminating four Perfect-level overlord Digimon in succession was an extremely heavy burden for Agumon and BlackAgumon.
