The moment the transformation was complete, Bai Yu could clearly feel the surging power within his body.
Each piece of armor felt connected to his flesh and blood, conveying an unprecedented strength that almost intoxicated him.
To describe it with that classic old saying, Bai Yu now felt like he could punch a cow to death.
Bai Yu's thoughts stirred, and his personal panel appeared in his consciousness: 【Lynxmon Armor Form: D-Class Strength】.
Not too much, not too little, just on par with Lynxmon's strength.
At this moment, the expressions of Ruki and Renamon were truly spectacular.
Renamon's beast eyes were wide, and all her fur was slightly bristled, clearly indicating she was greatly shocked.
As for Ruki, her eyes, which always held a cool and sharp gaze, were now filled with disbelief. Her small mouth was slightly agape, as if she wanted to say something, but not a single word came out. Her delicate face was full of shock.
It was truly as this guy had said before; her worldview was completely refreshed at this moment.
Who could explain to her why a human could transform into a Digimon?
Moreover, from the dazzling light and the appearing phantom of Lynxmon just now, Bai Yu clearly used Lynxmon's power.
Could it be... this was the real reason he snatched Lynxmon's data from them?
It must be admitted that Ruki was indeed intelligent and had already guessed the truth.
Bai Yu gently stretched his body, covered in orange-red armor. A slight friction sound came from his joints, full of power. He turned his head to look at Ruki, who was still in a daze, and said, "I'm ready."
This sentence instantly pulled Ruki back to reality from her shocked thoughts. She violently shook her head, temporarily pushing aside those incredible, jumbled thoughts in her mind.
No matter what strange methods this guy used, the most important thing right now was the battle about to begin and that bet she was somewhat concerned about.
"Renamon, prepare for battle!" Ruki's cool voice rang out again, but this time, there seemed to be a hint of imperceptible seriousness within it.
In fact, Ruki didn't even need to remind her. From the moment Bai Yu completed his transformation, Renamon had already entered a state of high alert.
Battle was imminent!
Bai Yu showed no politeness. As soon as his voice fell, he stomped his foot, and his orange-red figure turned into a blurry afterimage. His legs, covered in lightweight armor, erupted with astonishing speed, charging directly towards Renamon.
【Superspeed Movement】!
The air let out a soft whoosh. In just a few blinks of an eye, Bai Yu had already reached Renamon. His right arm, covered with sharp claw blades, brought a whistling wind as it fiercely slashed towards Renamon.
【Lynx Flame Claw】!
Although no flames were immediately attached, the cold glinting claw blades still left no doubt about their sharpness.
Renamon's pupils contracted. Facing this incredibly swift attack, she displayed her agile reactions.
She leaned her body back, avoiding the fierce claw, and at the same time, pushed off with her legs, quickly leaping backward to create a small distance.
Missing his attack, Bai Yu did not stop. He stomped his left foot heavily on the ground, and his body, like a cannonball, pursued again. His claw blades on both hands swung alternately, bringing a dazzling cold light that enveloped Renamon.
Renamon's figure was agile, constantly dodging within the dense claw shadows.
"Clang! Clang! Bang!"
Crisp collision sounds rang out from time to time; that was Renamon using her claws to block some attacks that she couldn't completely dodge.
Sparks flew.
Both sides were very fast; one could only see a blur of orange-red and a flash of golden-yellow constantly colliding, separating, and colliding again intensely.
Although it was Bai Yu's first time engaging in such a transformed battle, his understanding and instinct for combat were astonishingly high. Every bit of power from the 【Lynxmon Armor Form】 was fully utilized by him.
For a time, Bai Yu and Renamon fought to a standstill.
It should be noted that not long ago, Lynxmon's original body was easily defeated by Renamon.
Now, with Bai Yu borrowing this power and transforming, his fighting style was different, and his high combat awareness allowed him to fight Renamon to a standstill.
This caused Ruki, who was watching from the side, to frown even tighter.
This guy... his combat power isn't bad.
However, Renamon was not fighting alone.
Seeing that Renamon was unable to defeat Bai Yu for a long time, and even showed signs of being subtly suppressed by his wild offensive, Ruki no longer hesitated. She quickly drew a card from her card case and swiftly swiped it on her d-ark digivice.
"Attack Component A!"
The cool voice rang out.
Whoosh—!
An invisible data stream surged from the d-ark digivice, instantly injecting into Renamon's body.
Renamon felt a powerful force filling her entire body. Her previously somewhat hurried breathing stabilized, and the light in her golden beast eyes grew brighter.
Renamon let out a low growl, and the strength of her claw swings suddenly increased. With a muffled "thud," a sharp pain came from Bai Yu's blocking right arm, and he was struck by this sudden immense force, stumbling back several steps before barely steadying himself.
"Now, Renamon!" Ruki seized the opening from Bai Yu's retreat and decisively gave the order.
"Fox Leaf Arrowhead!"
Renamon moved at the sound. With her power amplified, the speed and power of her signature move were now far greater than before.
Countless sharp leaves, glinting with cold light, appeared out of thin air, converging in front of her, making a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound as they cut through the air, like a barrage of death, overwhelmingly shooting towards Bai Yu, who had just regained his footing.
Each leaf contained enough power to cut through metal and stone, and with the enhancement of the attack component, its power was elevated by another level.
Bai Yu knew that Renamon's attack power had increased at this moment, and facing this mighty 【Fox Leaf Arrowhead】, he did not hesitate at all.
"Flame Storm Whip!"
He let out a low roar, and the 【Jungle Tail Whip】 behind him suddenly lashed out. The end of the mechanical tail instantly spewed out surging flames. With the high-speed rotation of the tail, a scorching flame tornado quickly formed, completely enveloping Bai Yu's figure.
Whoosh—!
The violent flame tornado let out a roar like a beast, emitting suffocating high temperatures.
The next moment, countless sharp leaves fiercely crashed into the spinning flame tornado.
Rumble—!
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted, more violent than any previous collision.
Scorching flames and sharp energy leaves frantically intertwined, collided, and annihilated each other. A strong shockwave spread outwards, kicking up dust and rubble from the ground, forming a chaotic smoke screen. The explosion's firelight and thick smoke temporarily swallowed everything.
As the aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided and the swirling smoke slowly dispersed, a sizable crater appeared in the center of the battlefield, with charred marks still remaining on its edges. The spot where Bai Yu had been was now empty.
The flame tornado had disappeared, and Bai Yu's figure was gone with it.
Renamon's sharp gaze quickly scanned her surroundings, vigilantly searching for Bai Yu's trace.
Ruki watched this scene, unconsciously murmuring, "He was killed?"
However, no sooner had her words fallen than a voice, tinged with a hint of playfulness, abruptly sounded behind her: "Are you perhaps being a bit fanciful?"
This sudden voice made Ruki's entire body tremble, sending a shiver down her spine!
