A clown-like Digimon wearing long yellow leather boots appeared in view.
On his back, he carried four long, slender flying swords.
The one who had arrived was none other than the final Digimon created by Shiko.
The leader of the Dark Masters.
Piedmon.
"My Lord!"
Piedmon turned around.
He smiled at Shiko, the corners of his mouth rising.
Then he gave an extremely gentlemanly bow.
"Please leave this one to me!"
He continued speaking, asking for Shiko's approval.
Shiko nodded.
Naturally, it was better if he did not have to act himself.
Besides.
He also wanted to see what kind of result would come from Piedmon, the strongest of the Dark Masters, facing Ho-Oh, the strongest among these four First-tier Legendaries.
After receiving Shiko's permission.
Piedmon turned toward Ho-Oh.
He looked at the great bird spreading its wings in the sky, its aura pressing down with overwhelming force.
In the narrow eyes beneath his mask.
A glint of battle intent and amusement flashed.
Ho-Oh also sensed the powerful aura Piedmon was releasing directly at him.
That aura.
Although it was only at the level of a Second-tier Legendary.
Ho-Oh had lived for an immensely long time, and his powerful instincts and sixth sense told him something clearly.
This opponent was strong.
He absolutely possessed combat power comparable to a First-tier Legendary.
That forced Ho-Oh to become cautious.
Kreee!
With a cry.
Ho-Oh beat his wings.
He rose another hundred meters into the air.
The air currents above.
Under his guidance, began to grow chaotic.
Pure white Flying-type energy.
Condensed into sharp wind blades that could even cut through space.
They shot toward Piedmon.
Air Slash!
He had deliberately used his height to increase both the range and the power of the attack!
Facing Ho-Oh's strike.
The faint smile on Piedmon's lips never disappeared.
He did not make even the slightest move to respond.
He simply stood there, smiling.
As if he had no intention of defending at all.
Even when the attack landed on him.
He still did not use any defensive method.
One sharp white wind blade after another struck his body.
The sight was horrifying.
Yet under that razor-sharp cutting force.
Piedmon's body was not sliced open in the slightest.
In fact.
After those wind blades landed on him.
They were swallowed silently, as though they had vanished into a bottomless abyss.
Then.
Piedmon's body.
Began to blur.
After faint ripples spread across him, he completely disappeared.
Double Team?
No!
If it were Double Team, the main body should still be within sight!
But now, aside from the illusion that was currently fading away.
Piedmon's real body could not be found at all.
Not even his aura could be sensed.
Alarm bells rang in Ho-Oh's mind. His spread wings folded together as he took a defensive stance.
Sure enough.
The instant he drew in his wings.
In the space directly ahead.
Piedmon's figure slowly appeared.
That faint smile still hung on his lips.
He raised both hands.
And extended his fingers in Ho-Oh's direction.
Whoosh!
Yellow laser beams shot out.
They carried a piercing sonic boom.
And blasted accurately into Ho-Oh's body!
