Chapter 79: Tyrannosaurus XW

Next, they encountered the first wave of minions sent by the first boss. This wave wasn't composed of Tyrannosaurus Monsters, but rather Blue Tyrannosaurus Monsters.

The Blue Tyrannosaurus Monster, a dinosaur-type virus Digimon in its mature stage, possesses the special move [Super Flame]. It is a virus-type Tyrannosaurus with blue-black coloration, more ferocious than its ordinary counterpart, and classified as a wild Tyrannosaurus Monster.

There is, however, another theory regarding the ordinary and blue variants: among Agumon, those with greater potential evolve into the standard Tyrannosaurus Monster—the yellow-skinned one, considered the true Tyrannosaurus Monster—while the blue variant is regarded as an incomplete form. Given equal strength, the Blue Tyrannosaurus Monster may be slightly weaker than the yellow one.

Of course, these are merely conjectures; whether they are true or not remains unknown.

Nevertheless, as Beast fought these Blue Tyrannosaurus Monsters, he sensed that their strength surpassed that of the two Tyrannosaurus Monsters he had previously encountered. It was unclear what their overall combat power amounted to. If the Blue Tyrannosaurus Monsters possessed greater overall strength than their yellow counterparts, their superiority would be understandable.

Regardless, these minions lacked the strength of the Earth Tyrannosaurus Monster and thus were unable to stop Beast and his companions. Pushing forward, Beast soon reached the lair of the second minor boss.

This second boss appeared similar to the Blue Tyrannosaurus Monster, with the same blue-black skin, but Beast recognized it as Tyrannosaurus Monster XW.

The Tyrannosaurus Monster XW, a dinosaur-type Digimon of the Tyrannosaurus lineage, has unknown level and attributes, and wields the special move [Super Flame]. Though its level is unlisted, official cards classify it as a mature-stage Digimon. It specializes in offensive power, driven by a fierce instinct for battle and a ruthless determination to annihilate its opponents.

[Great Horn Assault] As soon as it spotted Beast, Tyrannosaurus Monster XW let out a mighty roar and charged straight at him. Beast immediately invoked [Demon Lord's Might], enhancing himself, and dodged the attack with a flash.

Previously, when facing the Earth Tyrannosaurus Monster, Beast had withstood this same move with his bare hands. This time, however, he chose not to confront Tyrannosaurus Monster XW so directly.

The reason was simple: Tyrannosaurus Monster XW's attack power had reached two thousand five hundred points—one thousand more than Beast's unenhanced attack power of one thousand five hundred.

A thousand points is no trivial difference. Even with [Demon Lord's Might] at full strength, Beast's attack would only reach two thousand one hundred. It seemed just four hundred points short, but that didn’t account for the monster’s own buffs.

Who knew how much [Great Horn Assault] would boost its power? Even a ten percent increase would add two hundred fifty points, raising its attack to two thousand seven hundred fifty—a full six hundred fifty above Beast. If the increase was fifty percent, its attack would soar to three thousand seven hundred fifty, surpassing Beast by a staggering one thousand six hundred fifty points. How could anyone withstand such force? Without triggering the doubling effect of [Power Strike], Beast would surely be knocked down.

Being knocked down would be the least of his worries; that single blow could easily drain half of Beast’s health, if not more. Players’ health pools simply couldn't compare to those of the bosses.

[Gale Tail] Just as Tyrannosaurus Monster XW realized it had missed Beast, it abruptly stopped and swept its tail toward him.

In that moment, as Beast dodged, a matrix of evolution appeared around him. In the next second, he entered Burst Mode, his attack power rising to four thousand four hundred forty-four (recent victories had boosted his stats, increasing his base attack).

This four thousand four hundred forty-four points placed Beast in an invincible position. Even if Tyrannosaurus Monster XW’s attack reached two thousand five hundred, it would need an eighty percent buff just to match Beast’s current power. And if the monster could boost its power, so could Beast.

Ultimately, the gap in base attack power was simply too vast, as it had been before. While Beast could have defeated Tyrannosaurus Monster XW without entering Burst Mode, the battle would have been arduous, leaving him with only ten percent of his health at the end.

If Tyrannosaurus Monster XW were the final boss, Beast might have welcomed the challenge, foregoing Burst Mode to test himself. But the hidden dungeon’s true final boss was Tyrannosaurus Monster X—not XW. Thus, he had to finish this fight quickly.

Returning to the story, as Beast entered Burst Mode, Tyrannosaurus Monster XW’s tail swept toward him. Beast reached out, and with one hand, caught the tail. The difference in their base attack power left Tyrannosaurus Monster XW powerless to resist.

“Boom!” In the next instant, Beast exerted his strength, swinging Tyrannosaurus Monster XW over his shoulder and slamming it into the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

[Demon Lord Wave] Immediately, Beast gathered digital energy in his palm, launching a wave directly at Tyrannosaurus Monster XW.

[Super Flame] Still reeling from being thrown, Tyrannosaurus Monster XW had no time to dodge, and could only unleash its flame attack in desperation, which was promptly pierced by the [Demon Lord Wave].

It was laughable—[Demon Lord Wave] boosted Beast’s attack by at least fifty percent, bringing it to six thousand six hundred sixty-six, even without factoring in equipment. What could Tyrannosaurus Monster XW's attack possibly reach?

The outcome was inevitable: Beast swiftly dispatched Tyrannosaurus Monster XW. Afterward, he glanced at the battling Dragon Monster, quickly assisted in clearing the remaining minions, then, without exiting Burst Mode, rapidly gathered materials and charged onward.
