During the past half month, Sora persisted in “drawing cards” every day, ten times a day, for a total of one hundred and fifty times.
Unfortunately, most of the time, the cards she drew were Sukamon, Numemon, and the like.
Finally, three days ago, she drew SkullSatamon!
SkullSatamon’s ultimate move is to release a powerful light from the gem at the tip of its staff, causing digital data abnormalities in Digimon, and rendering them immobile.
It’s similar to the acupoint sealing techniques in martial arts or the immobilization spells in fantasy tales.
In “Digimon Adventure 02,” even the Ultimate-level Imperialdramon was immobilized by SkullSatamon and couldn’t move. It was only by gathering strength and evolving into its warrior mode that Imperialdramon managed to resolve the crisis.
“Both of them have fallen!”
“Amazing! Sora actually fought Laxus to a draw!”
The members of the Fairy Tail guild watching were in awe.
To them, Laxus was an overwhelmingly strong monster, so the fact that Sora could fight him to a standstill was simply unbelievable.
Laxus was immobilized, while Sora was paralyzed and weakened.
Both of them lay on the ground.
However, in the next moment, Sora deactivated her Take Over Magic, and a rainbow-colored glow radiated from her body.
“Healing Light?” Mira, Makarov, and even Laxus were all familiar with it.
Using Healing Light, Sora quickly recovered from her paralysis, the numbness from the lightning formation fading rapidly. She slowly stood up, and chuckled softly, “Looks like I’m a cut above!”
“RAAAHHHH!”
Unwilling to lose to Sora, a surge of immense magic power erupted from Laxus’s body.
As his magic power burst forth, he seemed to be possessed by a dragon. Letting out a thunderous roar, his muscles swelled, his body enlarged, and even his arms showed something akin to scales.
Dragon Slayer Magic!
Laxus had been frail since childhood, but not because his body was truly weak, rather, it was due to his immense magic power—his young body couldn’t handle the burden of such power, making him appear fragile.
To resolve this issue, his father implanted a Thunder Dragon Slayer Lacrima into his body.
Because of this, Laxus gained Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic.
“AAARGHHH!!”
Now in his Dragon Slayer Magic state, Laxus stood up once more.
People are different, and so are Digimon. Not every SkullSatamon can immobilize an Ultimate-level Digimon.
Sora was far from being the same SkullSatamon from “Digimon Adventure 02.” She wasn’t even a real SkullSatamon. Even if she used the same ability, its power was weaker than that of the SkullSatamon from the series.
Thus, Laxus could break free from the abnormal state by unleashing his Dragon Slayer Magic.
“Thunder Dragon’s Crushing Fist!”
Laxus clenched his right hand into a fist, golden lightning from his Dragon Slayer power coiling around it, and struck forward fiercely.
Sora immediately rotated her eight wings to shield herself, their surface glowing a faint purple—that was divine power.
The eight wings, enhanced by divine power, formed an unshakable barrier.
CLAANNG~!
With a resounding metallic clash, Sora was sent flying ten meters backward.
“Huh? Is that Dragon Slayer Magic?”
“Laxus actually knows Dragon Slayer Magic!”
The guild members exchanged glances, especially Natsu.
After all, Natsu’s magic was Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, and unlike Laxus, who acquired his Dragon Slayer Magic through a Lacrima, Natsu had been personally taught by a dragon.
“Thunder Dragon’s Roar!”
The battle continued—Laxus opened his mouth unleashing a torrent of lightning, surging forward with terrifying force, a diameter comparable to a person’s height.
Sora steadied herself in midair, advancing instead of retreating. Divine power, glowing faint purple, condensed around her hands like gloves.
She leaped into the air, flipping upside down, with her long legs pointed skyward and her fists downward. As her fists, infused with divine power, met the lightning torrent, they neutralized the electricity.
Like ice skating, she skimmed along the lightning, swiftly closing the distance to Laxus.
At the same time, she performed a midair split, using her waist strength to spin her entire body.
Tornado Destruction Blow!
Laxus never expected such a move, and in the blink of an eye, his face was kicked dozens of times by high heels.
Even with his formidable physique, the consecutive blows left him dizzy.
“Full Take Over: Vamdemon’s Soul!”
Taking advantage of Laxus’s dazed state, Sora activated her Take Over Magic, assuming the form of Vamdemon. She swiftly moved behind Laxus and bit into his neck.
Suck!
His blood, along with his magic power, flowed into Sora’s mouth.
By the time Laxus regained his senses, he realized that not only had he lost a great deal of magic power, but he also felt anemic.
Sora retracted her fangs, stepped back a few paces, and deactivating her Take Over Magic, returned to her normal Angewomon form. She then transferred the absorbed magic power into her Holy Ring.
Laxus rubbed the spot on his neck where he’d been bitten, finding no visible wound. However, he wasn’t concerned about that. What bothered him more was the depletion of his magic power.
“You actually can absorb magic power? No wonder you bit those Vulcans.” Recalling the events of the past half month, Laxus finally understood.
Now, he also understood why Sora had taken on seven monster-extermination missions in the past half month.
But it was too late to realize this now.
Laxus had lost too much blood and magic power, leaving him with no chance of victory.
Besides, this wasn’t an external guild battle either, he couldn’t shout, “We are Fairy Tail!” and power up.
“With your current magic power, you’re no longer my opponent. However…”
Sora flashed before Laxus and delivered a divine power-infused punch to his abdomen.
“You still won’t admit defeat, will you?”
“…” Laxus’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
Seeing this, Makarov loudly declared, “The match is over! Sora wins!”
The guild members finally snapped out of their shock, holding their heads in disbelief and exclaiming, “Unbelievable! Sora actually won!”
After the shock subsided, cheers and admiration followed in quick succession.
“Youngsters, let’s have a feast!”
Fairy Tail often held banquets, even for the induction of a new member. But, this time was different—only Makarov knew this feast was also a farewell party.
By the time the banquet ended, the sky had turned into a starry night. Sora quietly left the guild but was stopped by a short figure.
It was Makarov, holding a beer, “You’re leaving?”
“Yes.” Sora nodded.
“Not going to say goodbye to Mira and the others?”
Sora glanced back, then shook her head. “No, I don’t like farewell scenes.”
With that, she walked straight out of the guild, spread her wings, and flew into the night sky.
Makarov watched her departure.
“She left?” Laxus approached.
“Yes.” Makarov nodded.
“…” Laxus pursed his lips and turned away.
…
Elsewhere, Sora flew into the forest where she had first met Mira and the others. Quietly, she waited until the countdown on the interface reached zero.
She vanished from the Fairy Tail world…
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself inside a laboratory.
She was in a cryogenic pod designed to store Digimon, with a metal base and glass walls.
Nearby, there were a dozen similar pods, each containing a different Digimon, resembling a collection of specimens.
“So I really returned!”
