Chapter 107: Demoness Beast: Dak’s Mission (17.5)
“Crack!”
Bliss I could no longer bear the strain, cracking apart.
The Demoness Beast within the luminescent body gradually opened her eyes.
They were crimson, like blood, yet her gaze was filled with an enchanting aura.
…
As the embodiment of pure evil born from high concentrations of dark power, the Demoness Beast was extremely arrogant and easily provoked.
Her left shoulder had a will of its own, even capable of speaking, but remained silent in front of others.
Her black cloak, though tattered, allowed her to fly swiftly.
Her left claw was large and dangerous, capable of transforming into a spear to pierce through enemies.
…
Dak’s mind instantly flashed with information about the Demoness Beast.
Although his knowledge of Digimon was limited, the Demoness Beast, being a highly popular Digimon in the original work, left a deep impression on him.
However, the Demoness Beast before him felt different from what he remembered.
Arrogant and easily angered?
No!
She was only alluring and bewitching.
…
With Bliss I shattered, the transmission of power abruptly stopped.
The Demoness Beast landed lightly, her arms swinging.
Her figure was graceful, her waist slender, and her landing soundless.
The enchanting aura in her eyes gradually faded, but she remained as seductive as ever.
Initially, Dak worried that the Demoness Beast might be uncontrollable like Blackdramon.
But soon, he realized this worry was unnecessary.
Because, just like Blackdramon, the Demoness Beast was indeed uncontrollable.
After initial confusion, she detected her master’s scent.
She suddenly turned around, then burst into a flower-like smile, her eyes filled with her master’s image.
Seeing her about to embrace him, Dak quickly reached out to block her, but accidentally blocked the wrong place.
Instead of stopping, she pressed closer, her eyes filled with an intense, almost impenetrable allure.
Even from such proximity, her fragrance was irresistible.
Dak hurriedly withdrew his hand, his face slightly red—out of embarrassment.
Human-form Digimon and beast-form Digimon cannot be treated the same.
Facing Blackdramon and Moon Eevee, even if they were clingy, Dak could remain composed and not be swayed by improper thoughts.
But if the subject was the Demoness Beast…
He quickly drew a Selection Card, preparing it as a life-saving measure.
Fortunately, the Demoness Beast, as a Perfect-level Digimon, controlled her energy much better than the Champion-level Blackdramon.
She wasn’t entirely under the influence of Bliss’s power.
Fundamentally, she was still the Imp Beast.
Upon seeing the Selection Card, the Demoness Beast immediately ceased her predatory behavior, only slightly opening her red lips and licking the corner of her mouth: “Master, would you like to ascend to the peak of passion?”
But when she spoke, Dak saw through her true nature.
Thus, Dak regained his composure: “Imp Beast, can you control yourself?”
The Demoness Beast closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then opened them and said: “Unlike when I evolved into Blackdramon, there’s something else inside, preventing me from sinking.”
“It must be moonlight.”
Dak looked up at the ceiling.
The intense moonlight seemed inexhaustible, pouring in endlessly from the mirror-like surface of the ceiling.
The statue of the goddess, bathed in moonlight, did not crack again despite losing most of its Bliss.
Moonlight was pure, seemingly incompatible with the power of Capital Sin, but in reality, they got along very well.
Dak suddenly rubbed his eyes, unsure if it was an illusion, but he felt that the goddess statue on the altar seemed smaller?
“No, it’s not an illusion; it has indeed shrunk! And the rate of shrinking is accelerating!”
A thought flashed through his mind.
Dak was astonished and suspicious: “Could it be that the so-called resurrection is simply bringing the statue to life?”
Reducing to human size and then coming alive!
This was far from what Dak imagined as “resurrecting the goddess.” He didn’t know how to react.
But the Demoness Beast suddenly said: “Master, assign me a mission!”
Dak was momentarily stunned, realizing he was less perceptive than the Imp Beast.
Regardless of how the goddess statue was resurrected.
Now, both sides were at odds.
There was no other way.
So he immediately said: “Destroy it, Demoness Beast!”
The Demoness Beast smiled seductively: “Since it’s your order, I shall comply.”
Before she finished speaking, she spread her tattered wings and flew toward the goddess statue.
“Dark Wave!”
At the moment she raised her arms, countless bat-like dark substances were suddenly released.
But white light instantly illuminated the statue, completely annihilating those dark substances!
The Demoness Beast’s expression changed, and her left claw transformed into a Dark Lance, piercing through the white light and directly stabbing the statue!
“Snap!”
The statue had no more defenses, and a pitch-black hole appeared!
Only the statue’s face became increasingly resentful.
The Demoness Beast licked her lips, a strange excitement flickering in her eyes.
She raised her left hand again, and the Dark Lance rained down, piercing the statue countless times!
Those holes were tightly packed together, and finally, during the last thrust, they collapsed comprehensively, forming a huge hole that nearly severed the statue in half!
Through the massive hole, one could only see the endless darkness within the statue, like a bottomless abyss.
“Sacrilegious person!”
The dignified statue finally screamed.
Without divine power filtering, the sound was like the grinding of glass shards, hoarse and harsh.
“I am a demon!”
The Demoness Beast laughed maniacally and released “Dark Wave” once more!
Countless bat-like dark substances condensed, rushing toward every corner of the statue like moths to a flame.
The statue’s shell couldn’t resist the erosion, and in an instant, it was completely consumed.
When all the bats suddenly scattered, the goddess statue on the altar had already become a pitch-black shape resembling a human outline!
…
In this instant.
That black shape suddenly counterattacked!
Before the Demoness Beast could react, it fully covered her, forming a huge, constantly writhing black mass!
The intense moonlight from the mirror-like surface continued to shine on that black mass under the ritual’s effect.
The ritual was still ongoing.
