The moment Mismagius was attacked, Dark, who had already escaped some distance away, suddenly stopped running. With a frown, he pulled out [Mismagius]' magic card from his sleeve.
As he injected his magic energy, some basic information flowed back to him.
"Not much magic energy left."
"Got attacked."
"[Destiny Bond] was activated."
Just a moment later, [Mismagius]' figure silently appeared on the originally empty card.
But the Mismagius that reappeared on the surface of the card had lost its color.
This was the appearance of magical spirits after death.
It would require thorough replenishment of magic energy to restore its color, and one would need to wait for a longer time before it could be summoned again.
With his fingertips, Dark drew a magic energy replenishing magic circle, smoothly and steadily pouring in his magic energy.
He had more or less expected that Mismagius would be attacked, but the fact that it was killed in an instant was out of his expectations.
On the other hand, the activation of [Destiny Bond] was fathomable.
Not only did he not panic, he even became very curious—who was the unfortunate soul who triggered [Destiny Bond]?
"Is it one of the tentacles?"
Thinking this way, Dark glanced in the direction of the abyss.
No matter which unfortunate soul it was, it no longer had anything to do with him.
After leaving this hidden rift, today's encounter would only turn into a drawing in his sketchbook.
But all of a sudden, the surroundings began shaking violently.
He hastily held onto the wall.
Shortly thereafter, the entire passage collapsed.
……
Devimon quickly spread its wings, trying to use its body as a shield for its master.
However, the falling bricks directly passed through all concrete objects they came across.
Raising its head to look on in astonishment, Devimon couldn't help reaching out its huge and sharp devil claws to poke at the falling bricks.
Its fingers naturally passed through them.
"It's grown so big, yet it's still so dumb."
Gatomon grabbed the opportunity to hug Dark's arm, completely dismissing Devimon's childish behavior.
But Devimon's initiative to act as his shield had warmed Dark's heart.
There was a glimmer of light in his eyes as he quietly watched the entire passage crumbling down.
It was as though he was gazing at the end of the world.
……
After the two summoned their magical spirits in defense, they also discovered that the bricks possessed no threat.
So they similarly stopped to curiously watch the sight.
……
Inside the other passage, White's group of three ultimately didn't go looking for trouble again.
After a brief rest at the place they stopped at, they too, experienced the collapse of the passage.
……
Amidst the emotional turmoil of the six people, the collapse of the passage lasted for a full three minutes.
Afterwards, all the landscape in sight turned into tiny specks of light.
With a little stretch of the hand, one could feel the sensation of light spots passing through the center of the palm.
It was clearly the sorrow of an entity fading away, yet it was filled with a dreamlike beauty.
Dark Demon leaned back and rested on Devimon's body.
After Gatomon took the chance to grab his arm, it never let go of its grip.
Although time continued to pass, the moment felt eternal.
Inadvertently, it gave birth to a thought—
It wouldn't be bad to stay in this moment forever.
……
But everything would come to an end.
The complete dissolution of the hidden rift revealed the true appearance of the area located only on the second floor of the dungeon.
Walls dilapidated by the erosion of time.
Vines growing in the cracks of the walls.
Ceilings teeming with Luminous Moss.
Weeds in the nooks and crannies.
The difference was clearly very obvious.
But it went completely unnoticed right until the hidden rift disappeared.
"What to do next?"
Dark continued to inject his magic energy. As he felt [Misdreavus]' gradual awakening, a picture began to form in his mind.
"Gatomon, go and bring Dianna and Rose back."
The master's order had to be obeyed.
Gatomon reluctantly let go of his arm, and then dashed towards Dianna and Rose.
It leaped through the passage at full speed, not slowing down even when turning around corners.
Before long, it came across Dianna and Rose who were also rushing over.
The three people soon reconverged.
By the time Dianna, with her cute expression, asked about what happened, Dark had already managed to get some information from Mismagius.
He weighed his words and said, "It might be that because the main body of the monster hiding at the bottom of the abyss was met with retribution, the hidden rift that existed because of it completely collapsed. Now, according to the previous route, I'm planning to go to the area where the abyss was located before. What do you guys think?"
"What do you mean by retribution?" Rose asked curiously.
Dark briefly explained, "It's an ultimate that can make the opponent suffer an equal damage. I didn't expect it to work for monsters of that level."
Rose lowered her head in thought.
Dianna thought for a while before excitedly saying, "I got it, we're going to pick up treasures, right?"
At this, Dark nodded with a smile, "Yes, we'll go and see if that monster left anything behind when it ran for its life. If we can find even the tiniest drop, it'll be an unexpected fortune for us."
Having finished talking, the three of them groped towards the direction where the abyss was previously located.
Upon returning to the maze that was the second floor of the dungeon, the spawning of monsters became an inevitable occurrence.
But no monster could survive a single move under Gatomon's Cat Punch.
Quickly harvesting the monsters' materials along the way, it didn't take long before they reached the original location of the abyss.
But someone had arrived one step earlier than them.
……
When the three of them walked out from the other passage, the place where the abyss was previously located had changed back to an ordinary fork in the road.
Passages from all directions converged in this spot, forming a relatively wide space.
The size of this open space was naturally not comparable to the abyss, but inside the dungeon, it was a site big enough for a large group to rest.
Fumbling back once more, the three of them were as cautious as mice sneaking into someone's home. Relying on a magical spirit to scout the path throughout the way, they were fortunate enough to not encounter any monsters and arrived in this place before Dark's group of three.
"What's that?"
Emma, who was the first to crane out her head, couldn't help asking in a whisper.
Following suit, White caught sight of a round stone lying in the open space.
The stone was half the height of a person, with a crack running in the middle. And from the crack of the stone, a frightening blood-red light was shining through!
