Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

It was a tragic defeat, the once hopeful atmosphere now one of bleakness as even the bloody moon that loomed over the palace seemed influenced by the battle's outcome, showering a more dismal light through the stained-glass windows of the chamber.

The Master of Horrors watched the small lifeforms before him with mocking eyes before fixing onto Nero and Red Rain as if expecting something.

"Well, is this it? Is this what you pests came here for? Huhu... to challenge my existence with such meager power, you might be mistaken, but even this world's 'previous master' might have been a bit troublesome for you kids."

"What?" Nero and the others exclaimed upon hearing those words; the very fact that he said the previous master could signify the most terrifying of news.

"Could it be, no… that's not possible?" Mia thought as if she realized something.

Red Rain, whose eyes now showed understanding, stared at the Master of Horrors with a tinge of paleness as she spoke out loud.

"You... then you are..."

"Correct... I am not from this realm, but another more distant space." The Master of Horrors said, cutting off her words. When he said those words, his eyes grew a bit distant and recollective, a few images flashing in his mind that even caused him to show a fearful look on his face.

'You've got to be kidding me; how can such a bastard exist? Where the hell did he come from?' Crazy Blade thought with a look of terror in his eyes.

Thunder's Daughter also felt worried about their current circumstances; they had lost a lot of their battle efficiencies from the prior attack.

"Brother, will we..." Ivy asked with a bit of an uneasy tone, but Mikan gripped his fist tightly, showing a fierce look as he replied to her, "No, we won't, my sister, I won't let it happen..."

Elly was also concerned; she glanced at Nero, hoping to find support, but Nero had a cold look on his face as he stared at the Master of Horrors. His eyes flickering in dim light as he inspected his details.

"What the hell kind of stat sheet is that? I can't even judge if it's good or bad, damn!' Nero cursed in his mind, but that didn't last long as he noticed that the Master of Horrors was distracted.

'This won't do; I can't stay distracted, his strength is far too great, and we can't fight him head-on even in his current condition. For us to win, we need to take him out while he still has a low opinion of us.'

Nero thought with a firm look in his eyes; at this time, Elly sent him a private message.

"Nero, what do we do? He's too strong for us."

Nero glanced at Elly and replied with another message, "We have no other choice but to fight, use all of your power and hold nothing back, we must kill him before he takes us seriously."

Elly bit her lips, hearing those words as she tightened her fist and replied, "Alright, I'll give it my all."

Adult Nero observed silently, his eyes flashing as he stared at his fingers, one of which was almost wholly dissipated. He sighed as if he made up his mind, showing a deep set of eyes.

Not only Nero and Elly, but both Red Rain, Mia, and the others also noticed this change, their eyes flickering with a tinge of uncertainty.

'What do I do? I wanted to test his abilities to prove if he's the destined one I'm searching for, but if I don't use my true power, then I'll most likely die here. Must I give up this chance...'

Red Rain thought with a set of complex eyes, but it didn't take long for her to make her decision. Her body now revealed a few ancient markings that started to glow in a dim light as if waking up.

'Sister, it seems I'll have to waste a bit of our ancestor's blood essence here, forgive me. Hehe, I don't want to die yet, and besides, I have yet to experience that handsome human.'

Mia thought as she took out a small vial that had a bright red shimmer. Her eyes flickered as she took a peek at Nero with a strange look.

Quickly, everyone had come to know of the Master of Horror's current state; although it seemed as if it had taken a while, the fact was that only a few seconds had passed.

As if they all shared the same thoughts, they glanced at each other with a determined look. They were forced down their injuries as they pushed their bodies up from the ground at the same time.

'Kill!' They inwardly shouted as they charged at the Master of Horrors, utilizing their movement techniques to the peak.

Nero swooshed ahead as if skating on the ground, much like Thunder's Daughter, who had a track of lightning below her feet. Lily was the third-fastest as she moved, leaving a trail of baleful light in her path, her dagger held before her like a spear.

Red Rain conjured diagrams below her foot that propelled her forwards, as Mia had clumps of lifelike fire aiding her movements. If there were some slower than the others, it was none other than Crazy Blade, Elly, Mikan, and Ivy.

They didn't bother to rush ahead but unleash a series of attacks from a distance.

"Crazy Shark Blade!" Crazy Blade said as an illusory giant shark formed when he slashed his blade, causing it to swim through the air as it made its way towards the Master of Horrors.

"Spiraling Blossom Sword!" Elly yelled as her upraised sword sent a spiraling storm of peach-colored petals towards the same direction, looking like a dazzling cyclone of sharp, deadly energies.

"Toxic Whip Storm! Poison Suppression Palm!"

Both Ivy and Mikan said they too attacked, Ivy, lashing out a green while that seemed no different from a small tempest towards the Master of Horrors, skillfully avoiding all other parties in the range. While, Mikan struck out his palm, sending out a giant illusory arm.

As this happened, it was only now that a new set of outsiders had arrived at the royal chamber's entrance; they stared at the scene in front of them with shock as one familiar face spoke out in alarm and anger.

"Damn! They're stealing the boss for themselves! HURRY! HURRY! ATTACK IT NOW!" Delkan shouted in anger.

One of the lackeys hesitated as his eyes fixed in Nero's direction when he spoke, "Young lord, we could, but what do we do about the target! He's over there!"

Delkan had a cruel glint in his eyes when he saw Nero, but he shook his head and shouted in a hurried tone, "For now, forget about that damn animal, kill this boss for me!"

"Understood, young lord!" The lackeys replied as they soon after rushed ahead with full power, lighting up the room as their magic power erupted.

"Even though I'd get party benefits, I have to attack as well. Hmph! Eat my Whirlwind Masher!" Delkan said soon after he bolted forward like a gust of wind, striking his halberd ahead with unstoppable momentum, his greenish wind magic power pushing ahead of him with a terrifying force.

Though, Nero, Mia, Red Rain, and Lily had charged ahead of the others.The attacks fired from behind them was faster than their running speeds as they swept by them, arriving before the Master of Horrors in seconds.

Suddenly, the Master of Horrors had awoken from his daze, he stared at the sudden onslaught of attacks with surprise. Soon, his eyes had a look of rage as a terrifying aura erupted from his being, causing not only the chamber but the palace itself to shiver, much like the effects of an earthquake.

"You insolent wretches, it seems my lesson wasn't enough, then allow me to show you creatures another of my means!"

His voice sounded about the area as if it foreshadowed a terrifying change.
