"After all, it was only a nine-star Ultimate Move."
Dark's gaze shifted. After glancing once at the red beam of light, he turned his attention back to [Mismagius].
The pillar of light formed during a Digimon's evolution could create a barrier similar to [Protect].
The strength of that barrier increased according to the Digimon's "evolution stage."
This time, Dark had used Agumon's Super Evolution. Naturally, it could not be pierced by a nine-star Magic Spirit's Ultimate Move.
Just a few seconds later, on the other side.
The distance between [Mismagius] and the black shadow had already closed to within the range of its Ultimate Move.
Floating in the air, the three red gems embedded in its body lit up almost simultaneously.

It added together the caster's remaining life and the target's remaining life, then divided the total evenly between them.
However, since a Magic Spirit's "life" was its magic power, under the principle of equivalence, even if [Pain Split] targeted a human, it would ultimately affect only "magic power."
Thus, this was essentially an Ultimate Move that "evenly divided magic power." Normally, it should have been used on an opponent after [Mismagius] had expended a great deal of magic power, thereby maximizing the reduction of the opponent's magic power.

To the "black shadow," which was certain to possess an enormous amount of magic power, 3200 points of magic power was practically no different from "0."
Therefore, if [Pain Split] could take effect, the black shadow's magic
