Botamon evolve into Koromon

Dvalin asked three consecutive questions, but at this moment, no one could tell it the reason.

"SkullGreymon, stop!" Seeing that Dvalin had recovered, Lumine quickly shouted at SkullGreymon.

Unfortunately, SkullGreymon completely ignored Lumine's voice and continued attacking Dvalin.

"Well, well, even though I'm Dvalin, the Dragon, am I that disgraceful?"

Although it didn't feel much pain, as a dragon, there was no way Dvalin could tolerate SkullGreymon continuing to ravage its body. It somersaulted, causing SkullGreymon and Lumine to fall downwards.

"Ah!!"

At this moment, Venti flew up and caught Lumine, landing safely on the platform. SkullGreymon's body fell onto the platform, causing a violent tremor. It struggled to get up, looked at Venti and the others, and then suddenly attacked them.

"SkullGreymon, stop!"

Lumine couldn't believe that SkullGreymon had turned around and attacked them. Her own companion had actually attacked her.

"Lumine, don't hesitate!"

"I..."

In the sky, Dvalin flew and cast a complex look towards Venti and the others on the platform.

After hesitating for a moment, it directly pounced towards SkullGreymon. With a powerful swing, SkullGreymon's body fell directly below the ruins of the Wind Dragon. SkullGreymon struggled to get up from the ground, shook its head, and wanted to continue its attack.

At that moment, the platform of the Wind Dragon Ruins shattered, causing Lumine and the others to lose their balance and fall down.

"Ah!!" Paimon yelled and quickly grabbed Lumine by her hair.

In the air, Dvalin appeared and supported Venti and the others on its back. Venti opened his eyes, extended his hand, and touched Dvalin's back.

His tone was gentle. "It's been a long time since we flew together like this."

"Dvalin" Hearing Venti's voice, Dvalin's tone became somewhat complicated.

"Just now, why...didn't you ask me to 'protect' like before?"

"I don't want you to listen to the Abyss, but that doesn't mean you have to listen to me, Dvalin."

"The freedom granted by the gods is also a kind of bondage."

After saying that, Venti produced a ball of wind elemental power in his hand, which flew into Dvalin's body.

"This... This is the power of the Anemo Archon?"

"But I am no longer one of the 'Four Winds Guardians.'"

"Even without that title, haven't you still protected us?"

"From now on, fly with my blessings, with even more composure." Dvalin, along with Venti and the others, landed on the ground of the Wind Dragon Ruins.

As soon as they reached the ground, Lumine quickly jumped down and ran towards where SkullGreymon was. Although SkullGreymon had changed and became indiscriminate, it was still Lumine's partner. Naturally, she had to find it.

"SkullGreymon!!"

"SkullGreymon!!"

Lumine searched and called out for SkullGreymon's name along the way. However, after searching for a while, Lumine couldn't find it. Lumine sat down on the ground with a disappointed expression, still calling out SkullGreymon's name.

"Lumine... Don't be sad. Let's keep looking. Maybe we'll find SkullGreymon."

Paimon flew in front of Lumine, looking at her dejected expression, feeling distressed as well.

"Paimon, if SkullGreymon hadn't helped us just now, we might not have been able to save Dvalin."

"But Dvalin has already been saved, yet SkullGreymon..."

"Maybe SkullGreymon is resting somewhere now, Lumine. Let's keep searching."

"Yeah, SkullGreymon is definitely waiting for me. I must find it!" Lumine took a deep breath, nodded firmly, and her gaze became determined.

"That's right. It's my best partner!"

Just as Lumine and the others were preparing to search... Suddenly, a small creature with pink fur and two ribbon-like ears appeared in front of Lumine and Paimon.

"Huh, what's this?" Looking at this strange-looking creature, Paimon looked puzzled.

"Chiu~" The pink creature looked at Lumine and jumped towards her.

"Who are you??"

"Are you SkullGreymon?"

Seeing this small creature, Lumine felt a familiar aura emanating from it.

The pink creature came in front of Lumine and nodded in response to her question.

"Huh, SkullGreymon has actually changed its appearance. How did it become like this?"

"No matter how it has changed, it's still my partner. As long as you're okay, SkullGreymon." Lumine breathed a sigh of relief and embraced SkullGreymon.

The specifics of what happened could only be learned after they returned and met with the Owner.

"Let's go, SkullGreymon. Paimon, we'll return together."

"Okay."

"Lumine, did you find SkullGreymon?"

As Lumine and the others returned, Jean approached and asked.

"Jean, we found it. This is SkullGreymon."

"Huh, why did it become pink? And all those black fur is completely gone?"

"I don't know either. We'll have to ask the Owner when we get back."

"Alright then. Now that we've resolved Dvalin's situation and found SkullGreymon, let's return to Mondstadt."

"Let's go. When we get back, I'll have a big feast!!" Paimon stomped her feet in the air, her face filled with joy.

Then, Dvalin bid them farewell and accompanied them until the outskirts of Mondstadt.

"Traveler, remember to come find me after you inquire with the shopkeeper. We'll go return the Wind's Companion together." Venti reminded them.

"Alright, Venti." Upon entering Mondstadt, Lumine, along with Paimon and SkullGreymon, went to find the Owner.

"Owner, we're back!"

"Oh, Lumine, Paimon, have you resolved Dvalin's situation?"

"Yes, Traveler One has already resolved it."

"Owner, we did manage to restore Dvalin, but..." Lumine explained the process of what happened to Takarou.

After listening to Lumine's words, Takarou smiled faintly. In the Digimon world, Greymon also became SkullGreymon. Unexpectedly, in this world, SkullGreymon had also become a Zombie Digimon.

"Don't worry, the reason Botamon became SkullGreymon is because it was attacked by the poisoned Dvalin and wanted to protect you, but felt that its own strength was too weak."

"So it awakened its dark side and thus became SkullGreymon."

"I see. Will SkullGreymon continue to be like this in the future, Owner?"

"That's hard to say, but Digimon gradually strengthen their power step by step. Your Koromon, after undergoing corruption, didn't fall into a deep sleep, indicating that its strength has reached a certain point."

Takarou Continue Explain to lumine about Skullgreymon.

"In fact, after it recovered, it directly evolved into Koromon. The little guy in your arms is no longer called SkullGreymon, it's called Koromon now."

______________

"Will Koromon return to its original form as SkullGreymon in the future?"

"Most likely not."

"But if it were to become SkullGreymon again, there's a good chance it would revert to its original form as Koromon. So, after you're done with Mondstadt, during your journey to Liyue, try to help Koromon strengthen its power as much as possible."

"Alright, Owner. Thank you for telling me all this."

"No problem."

"Then, Owner, we'll take our leave. We have something else to attend to."

"Owner, bye! After we're done with this, let's come back to the comic store and read manga."

Paimon waved to Takarou, and then she and Lumine left the New Century Comics store. With Dvalin's situation resolved, the next step should be to return the Skyward Harp. And then, Venti would be slapped by the lady.

"Should we go take a look?"

"Nah" Takarou thought for a moment and shook his head.

Leaving the New Century Comics store, Lumine and Paimon found Venti and Captain Jean. At this time, Diluc had already left.

"Lumine, Paimon, what did the Owner say? Is your SkullGreymon alright?" Captain Jean asked as she saw Lumine's arrival.

"Captain Jean, according to the Owner, SkullGreymon is fine, and it has already evolved. Its new name is Koromon."

"That's good to hear."

"Then let's go. We'll go together to return the Skyward Harp."

[Other POV]

At the Good Hunter, an Electro Cicin Mage appeared before the lady.

"Lady, Venti, Captain Jean, and the Traveler have all returned."

"From their conversation, it seems they're about to head to the Mondstadt Cathedral to return the Skyward Harp."

"Oh, I didn't expect them to resolve the Stormterror situation."

"Hehe, let's go. We'll set off as well and wait for Venti outside the Mondstadt Cathedral."

"Yes, my lady." The group of three... no, three and a half people, entered the Mondstadt Cathedral together.

They approached Barbara.

"Um... Captain Jean, Honorary Knight, Skyward Harp, have you found it?" Barbara looked at Captain Jean with a complex gaze and asked.

"Miss Barbara, hello. The Skyward Harp is here." Lumine greeted Barbara and then took out the Skyward Harp.

Seeing the undamaged Skyward Harp, Barbara breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly embraced the Skyward Harp.

"Phew, thank goodness the Skyward Harp is intact. If it were damaged, how would I explain to Master Barbatos?" Seeing Barbara's reaction, Lumine found it somewhat amusing and couldn't help but glance at Venti. Venti felt Lumine's gaze and smiled in response.

"Alright, now that the Skyward Harp has been returned, let's go."

"Barbara, you can put the Skyward Harp back. I'll be leaving as well." Captain Jean looked at Barbara.

Although they were sisters, there was a rift between them. If they were to spend time together, it would probably be awkward for both parties. So at this moment, Captain Jean also intended to leave the Mondstadt Cathedral.

Just as Venti had left the Mondstadt Cathedral, suddenly, two Fatui Harbingers appeared behind him. They attacked Venti directly, but Lumine quickly stepped in and repelled the two Fatui Harbingers. Captain Jean had just come out and hurriedly ran over upon witnessing the scene.

"Fatui Harbinger, what do you think you're doing?" Captain Jean drew her sword, Windblume Ode, and looked sternly at the Fatui Harbinger lady.

"Oh, I didn't expect Acting Grand Master Jean Gunnhildr of the Knights of Favonius to be here too."

"But I'm here to find Barbatos, it has nothing to do with you!" The lady was somewhat surprised by Captain Jean's unexpected presence.

After all, she had expected Venti to come out with the Traveler. But she didn't mind at all, as she had come for a mission. As long as she obtained what she needed, she could leave Mondstadt and head to Liyue. As for the other Fatui members in Mondstadt, what did they have to do with her?

To complete the mission given by the Tsaritsa, she could abandon everything.

"Rosalyne Kruzchka Lohefalter, I know why you're here."

"Shut up! Don't you dare mention that name!" The lady's face turned angry as soon as she heard that name.

"Fatui Harbingers, attack!"

"Oh no, what do we do?" Paimon saw this scene and quickly hid behind Lumine.

"Fatui Harbingers, this is the city of Mondstadt, our nation! How dare you lay hands on our Archon! The Knights of Favonius won't spare you!" Captain Jean placed Windblume Ode in front of her and shouted.

"Hehe, I don't care about those things since that person died." The lady sneered disdainfully.

In terms of strength, the mere Fatui Harbingers and the Electro Cicin Mage were no match for Lumine and Captain Jean.

In just a few moments, Lumine and Captain Jean defeated the Fatui Harbingers and the Electro Cicin Mage.

Seeing this, the lady glared fiercely at Venti. Then she left. She knew that she couldn't obtain Venti's Gnosis alone. Seeing the lady leave, Captain Jean wanted to chase after her. But Venti stopped her.

"Captain Jean, there's no need to chase."

"Venti, what did that Fatui Harbinger lady want from you and... her name..." From the moment Venti called out the lady's true name earlier, Captain Jean noticed that the lady had a Mondstadt name. This puzzled her.

"Well, now that you both know, let me tell you. Let's go to the Knights of Favonius headquarters."

Then they all went to the Knights of Favonius headquarters, Captain Jean's office.

"As Captain Jean suspected, the lady was originally from Mondstadt."

"Rosalyne Kruzchka Lohefalter was in a relationship with the Vice Captain of the Knights of Favonius, Rostam."

"When the calamity caused by Khaenri'ah arrived, Rostam died protecting Mondstadt."

"After the calamity ended, Rosalyne returned to Mondstadt from her studies in the Perpetual Mechanical Array and was devastated upon learning of Rostam's death, shedding tears and songs of exhaustion."

"The time of the young girl came to an end, and the time of the Crimson Witch destruction began. She burned away all the monsters and the pain caused by all the monsters in the world."

"As the Crimson Witch, Rosalyne wore the traditional witch hat from her time in the Perpetual Mechanical Array. The broad brim of the hat shielded her sight and brought awe and fear to those who beheld it."

"After she threw herself into battle, she no longer needed to witness the monsters being devoured by the flames."

"When she looked at the water's surface, she no longer needed to see her own face burned and shattered by disgust and flames. That's how a witch continued to burn blindly."
