How to Stop the Protagonists from Cheating

"Yes! We hit him!"

Watching the smoke slowly disperse, Takato cried out in delight.

"No, we haven't beaten him yet."

Unlike the delighted Takato, Rika Makino spoke with a grave expression.

Renamon was still on guard.

"Terriermon."

Just then, Li Jianliang called to Terriermon, a card appearing in his hand.

"Jianliang."

Seemingly guessing what Li Jianliang had in mind, Terriermon looked at him, eyes asking whether he really wanted to do this.

Meeting Terriermon's gaze, Li Jianliang slowly nodded.

Ever since that incident, Li Jianliang had been deeply reluctant to let Terriermon fight again.

Yet the harder he tried to avoid fighting, the more necessary it became.

Now, Mo Yan's words had given Li Jianliang a new understanding.

If he couldn't avoid a fight, then he would fight.

"That still didn't beat him?"

A little slow on the uptake, the sweet, innocent Little Angel Takato scratched his head and gave a sheepish laugh.

Clearly, Takato still hadn't realized how serious the situation was.

"Takato, here he comes."

With dragon instincts maxed out, Guilmon remained poised to attack and warned Takato to get ready.

As those words fell, the smoke cleared, revealing Mo Yan and the glowing object floating before him.

This DigiCore contained information on magic, along with Wizardmon's data.

Wizardmon was the Champion-level Digimon that Mo Yan had evolved into from KendoGarurumon under SageMon's guidance after traveling to Witchelny.

However, SageMon had suggested that Mo Yan separate this form from himself, creating an independent DigiCore to store data related to magic and similar subjects.

According to SageMon, KendoGarurumon had tremendous potential, and its evolution line shouldn't be locked in too early.

Instead, he should continue exploring KendoGarurumon's potential and seek knowledge of evolution through that process.

Moreover, magic, as an Advanced Programming Language, was highly adaptable and extensible.

Thus, under SageMon's guidance, Mo Yan had learned many more incredible tricks.

Enough said.

Under the protagonists' astonished gazes, Mo Yan grabbed the DigiCore and pressed it into his body.

The light of evolution blossomed, enveloping Mo Yan.

"Calu, calu?"

As Calumon looked on in confusion, the red crystal on Calumon's forehead began to glow as well.

Light Angemon!

Digivolve!

Flame Angemon, Divine Attendant Form!

[Flame Angemon, Champion level, Vaccine attribute, Angel-type Digimon.

An Angel-type Digimon with two wings, dressed in radiant white robes and wearing a white eboshi cap. Like Angemon, it is an entirely benevolent being with an exceptionally strong sense of justice.

Unlike Angemon, who specializes in combat, this Angel-type Digimon continuously practices Holy Magic with the goal of becoming an angelic priest.

The Holy Scripture held in its left hand is said to contain mysterious powers learned from another world.

Its signature technique is "Holy Magic," which summons powers from another dimension by chanting mysterious incantations from the Holy Scripture.

Its finishing move is "Flame Feather," which sends feathers burning with sacred flames raining down like meteors.]

The white light faded, and an angel wearing white robes and a white eboshi cap appeared before the protagonists, beating his two wings.

"He... he digivolved..."

Rika Makino stared at the information displayed on her D-Ark and spoke in disbelief.

"Y-you've got to be kidding."

Takato Matsuki stared at Mo Yan's new appearance. Those dazzling effects made him take an involuntary step back.

"So he really can digivolve..."

Li Jianliang had already suspected as much and wasn't surprised.

"Card slash: Super Evolution Plug-In S!"

Without hesitation, Li Jianliang swiped the evolution card.

Mo Yan had said he knew a great deal, but they had to defeat him first.

Then they would defeat him!

"EVOLUTION"

Terriermon!

Digivolve!

Gargomon!

The light faded, and Terriermon's evolved form, Gargomon, stood in the same spot.

As the protagonists' second male lead, who had access to a Champion right from the start, Li Jianliang had long been able to use the "Super Evolution Plug-In S" card.

His own psychological hang-ups simply made him unwilling to let Terriermon digivolve and fight.

But this time was different.

"Gatling Gun!"

The moment the evolution finished, Gargomon attacked first.

Mo Yan was just about to say something when he saw a dense hail of bullets coming at him.

"Holy Barrier!"

Faced with this, Mo Yan had no choice but to put up a defense.

"Guilmon!"

"Guilmon Cannon!"

Seeing Li Jianliang order Gargomon to attack, Takato Matsuki had Guilmon attack again as well.

"Renamon, can you still fight?"

Rika Makino turned to Renamon, her tightly clenched hands betraying her worry.

"Of course, Rika."

Renamon walked over to Rika, signaling for her to relax.

"Card slash: Angel Power!"

Drawing a card and swiping it, Rika Makino restored Renamon's condition.

"Fox Leaf Arrowhead!"

Recovered, Renamon leaped into the air again and unleashed a finishing move.

Inside the Holy Barrier, Mo Yan watched impassively as Gargomon's, Guilmon's, and Renamon's attacks struck the barrier.

To be honest, the moment Mo Yan noticed Calumon nearby, he had lost all desire to keep fighting.

With a cheat-enabling mascot like that beside the protagonists, he would have to be completely out of his mind to continue fighting them.

Better safe than sorry.

If he accidentally pushed them too hard and those two cheaters, Takato and Guilmon, triggered the Evolution Light, he might well end up getting his ass kicked.

With that thought, Mo Yan put away the Holy Staff and held both hands out flat, letting the Holy Scripture float into the air.

"#＄%*@..."

Chanting in the language of magic, Mo Yan prepared to cast Holy Magic.

Dark clouds gathered, lightning darting through them.

A dark cloud flickering with electricity appeared above Mo Yan's head.

"Holy Magic: Redemption Thunder Punishment!"

Forked lightning dropped from the cloud, striking Gargomon, Guilmon, and Renamon below.

When the lightning hit Gargomon, Gargomon reverted to Terriermon in a flash of white light.

Guilmon was paralyzed by the lightning and fell to the ground, twitching.

Renamon proved much tougher, dropping to one knee with electricity flickering across that body.

"Renamon!"

"Terriermon!"

"Guilmon!"

Seeing this, the three Tamers hurriedly shouted their partners' names and rushed over to check on them.

"Aah!" ×3

The lingering electricity promptly gave all three a round of shock therapy.

The one who got shocked the worst was the tearful Takato Matsuki, who had thrown his arms around Guilmon and started crying.

"Holy Magic: Healing Light!"

Mo Yan gave the protagonists no time to activate their cheats. He immediately beat his wings, flew over to them, and cast healing magic.

Within the gentle white light, everyone's injuries disappeared.

The first to recover and start interacting were, once again, Takato Matsuki and Guilmon.

All he could say was that this human-and-Digimon pair truly lived up to their reputation as the biggest cheaters in all three series.

They took the nastiest beatings, fought the fiercest battles, and used the most outrageous cheats.

"No more fighting. Your teamwork and concern for your partners have earned my recognition."

Folding his wings, Mo Yan turned back into a child amid a burst of white light.

"You jerk!"

Already annoyed, Rika Makino immediately turned an angry glare on Mo Yan.

"Well, a fight's one way to get acquainted, right? I'd heard all about the famous Tamers, so of course I had to test your strength."

Watching Rika Makino being held back by Renamon, Mo Yan gave a sheepish laugh.

Digimon Tamers!

Every child who had watched Digimon had dreamed of it, had longed for it.

Now that fantasy had become reality and he himself had become a Digimon, of course Mo Yan wanted to see whether he could beat them.

Naturally, being a shameless hypocrite, Mo Yan was determined to keep the protagonists from cheating and steamrolling him.

"You!"

"Where did you hear about us?

And what did you mean when you called us the DigiDestined earlier?"

Li Jianliang stopped Rika Makino from picking a fight and asked Mo Yan the questions he had been wanting to ask for some time.

"This doesn't seem like the best place for a chat, does it?"

Mo Yan pointed at the gradually dissipating Digital Field as he spoke to Li Jianliang.

"That was an oversight on my part. Please follow me."

Li Jianliang offered a very polite apology, then urged everyone to leave quickly.
