Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Nero, Elly, Crazy Blade, Thunder's Daughter, and the others had only arrived at the door leading to the royal chamber. Here, underneath it, the spooky mist flowed as the pipe organ's gloomy sounds and ominous lights basked the exterior with a dark atmosphere.

A heavy oppression could be felt from behind it, as even Mia, who had already joined their party, didn't find it the time to provoke Nero with her sensual methods.

For once, Elly felt it was better to be in this kind of place; she didn't like a single part of Mia's existence and would prefer to see her out of the picture.

"Hmm, you... aren't you Red Rain? I didn't know you came here. Shouldn't you have gone to those lands?"

Crazy Blade asked with a tone filled with surprise as he saw Red Rain waiting in front of the large door.

'She's from their kind... why would that neutral group ever pay attention to these kinds of dungeons?'

Thunder's Daughter pondered as her eyes fixed onto Red Rain.

Mia also noticed her; she couldn't help but recall something as she thought to herself.

'Usually, she's rather low profile, but I guess that she must have sensed something. People from their race are truly a haggle, especially with that innate gift of theirs.'

As if in sync with their thoughts, Elly spoke in a hushed tone to Nero, the very words at the core of everyone's mind.

"Forecasting? Are you kidding me?" Nero said with a tone of surprise as he stared at Elly before taking another good look at Red Rain.

Elly looked at Nero in a slightly annoyed manner as she replied, "If you weren't going to believe my words, then don't ask me questions!"

Nero felt a bit embarrassed being shouted at unexpectedly; even the others looked at them strangely. However, Elly had a small smile on her face as she felt that she got a little payback from the previous time.

Nevertheless, though embarrassed, Nero didn't try to start a fight with Elly; he knew better than to use words to battle women, even more so for one of Elly's kind.

With a more focused mind, he stared at the misty door before looking at everyone. Only now did Red Rain turned around, glancing at Crazy Blade for a second before eyeing Nero.

With a hard to read expression on her face, she then stared at the group as a whole and spoke, "My affairs can wait; we have a bigger matter to deal with at this time. If my hunch is correct, the being behind this door is originally a lifeform at the Supremacy Class. He is using a World Artifact to destroy the Universe Ring, and if he succeeds, I don't need to tell you the consequences of that, now do I?'

When Crazy Blade and the others heard those words, their faces sunk as though they knew something was influencing the Universe Ring; never did they imagine it would involve a World Artifact, and the much worse enemy imaginable, a Supremacy Class.

Many ranks divide digitizers in the World of Promise, but those nearing the summits are ranked as Supreme, mighty beings with the powers to destroy nature itself.

"You've got to be kidding me? A Supreme, that's not possible!" Mikan exclaimed as he knew that one couldn't so easily encounter such beings, even more so for a place as limited as the Novice Zone's Dungeons.

Ivy also had a look of fear in her eyes, as did Lily, who clenched her daggers tightly with sweat pouring down her cheeks.

'A Supremacy Class, what kind of power is that?' Nero asked his older self in his mind.

"A power one class greater than my own, that little miss words hold some truth, but even foresight has its limits, it's still uncertain if the being that I sensed is limited to just the Supremacy Class."

'I see...'Nero inwardly said as he finally drew a clearer picture of what they might be up against.

The others soon after recovered from their shock, Elly exclaimed by Nero's side.

"Nero, you were right; it's even worse than you said; we don't have time to be standing here!"

"Indeed, I would have already moved to blast that door open, but I think there must be a reason why Red Rain waited."

Elly, hearing this, had a look of realization on her face as she stared at the door, noticing that though it was closed, the power around it was still flowing in a constant stream; the more it flowed, the dimmer the lights became, almost as if it was being drained of its strength.

'Oh, so that's how it is...'

She thought, noticing the scene; by now, Crazy Blade had a shocked look on his face, he stared at Red Rain as he shouted, "Then if such a being is behind the door, won't we be sending ourselves to death?"

Thunder's Daughter also thought the same, but Red Rain didn't bother with them anymore, her eyes fixed onto the door, which glowed in a dimmer light now as she spoke in a hurry.

"You will understand later, hurry, we don't have much time, I have weakened the door by using a few taboo methods, quickly destroy it! We must annihilate the master of this palace before he breaks that Universe Ring and regains his complete strength!"

As everyone heard those words, their eyes shone with understanding, knowing all they needed from her words. Not wasting another moment, they all gathered their strength, preparing to destroy the door in one full blow.

Nero had also readied his scythe, which menacingly glowed as he prepared to use his full-powered regular slash, but Red Rain vaguely glanced in his direction before speaking as if talking to the group.

"I must remind you all that with the ring weakened to this extent; death should be no different from in real life. As such, we shouldn't be holding back any secrets or our strengths, our very lives to depend on it."

Immediately after saying this, Red Rain's body conjured a dense amount of magic power. A seal mark appeared before her, emanating a terrifying will.

Crazy Blade, hearing this clicked his teeth as he hosted his blade, which shone in a brighter and more baleful magic power. He replied, "Tch, fine."

Thunder's Daughter nodded and said nothing, her body exploding with a high class's bolts of lightning.

Mikan looked at Ivy, who stared at him and nodded. The two placing one of their palms together before conjuring a stronger poisonous power from their body, which seemed capable of eroding all things.

Ivy held her dagger in a low stance as it shone brightly, she looked no different from an arrow ready to spring from a bow.

Elly similarly had her sword out, conjuring a dense amount of sword energies as peach-colored flower petals floated around her.

Nero, on the other hand, frowned as he heard Red Rain's words. He felt that such a statement was a bit strange in the current context. Still, as he didn't have time to waste, he only focused on gathering enough power for his Blood Reaper's Dance.

Adult Nero had a thoughtful look at Red Rain from within Nero's mind space while thinking, 'Interesting, she appears to be testing us. It looks like she's suspects something. Heh, that race and its peculiarities...'

While Adult Nero pondered, it didn't take long for everyone to gather their full strength; in moments, they all charged at the door together, unleashing their attacks.

"Fate Destruction Seal!"

"Baleful Shark Slash!"

"Thunder Pulse!"

"Twin Toxic Ray!"

"Flash Strike!"

"Spiraling Blossom Sword!"

"Blood Reaper's Dance!"

As all colorful attacks converged, a white light shone, illuminating all within the vicinity as a shocking explosion sounded, rumbling the core of the palace and any other digitizer within its domain, beckoning the start of a grand battle to come.
