Binary Code

Ed kept only Shusui in his hand. He stood still and started using his most powerful technique, the Providence Blade. Except it was different this time. Ed would usually charge up the technique while approaching his opponent. This way it would allow him to release the technique at its full power. This time, however, he was far away from the Dragon. Since the Dragon was not a stupid beast, it knew Ed was preparing something, so it attacked him.

Of course, the others weren't going to let him do what it wants so easily. Raikou used his Shadow circle ability and focused on one of its legs. Since the scales were too tough to be broken through by his shadow only, he decided to use them as bindings instead. Dozens of shadow whips surrounded the leg and pulled it down, making the Dragon unbalanced. Every time one of the whips tore apart, two more took its place.

"Oraaaah!" While sounding like a delinquent, Gobuta used his entire strength as an Enhancer and struck the left front leg of the Dragon. Since Raikou bound its left hind leg, the Dragon lost its footing and fell to the side. It roared and attempted to get, only to be struck by lightning. "Lightning Shower." with a calm voice, Sieg used multiple lightning magic abilities at once. Even the Dragon's magic resistance couldn't keep up with the damage.

Without giving it anytime to rest, Suika and Merry targeted its eyes. Suika turned her hand into a spear and jammed it directly in the iris. Of course, she didn't stop there but injected a not-so-small doze of poison into the eye. Merry used many enhanced feathers to stab the eye many times. But, the Dragon managed to react to it. It regained its balance and stood up, all while releasing a beam towards Merry. However, a red flying slash, or more accurately a stab, countered it. Goburou was using his special ability many times in succession in order to put a stop to the Dragon's beams.

"How long, Ed?!" Sieg asked him in a hurry. The Dragon was getting used to their attacks and would break free if given time.

"1 minute!" Ed answered them. A darkness, unlike anything they saw before surrounded his sword. It was as if a black hole manifested itself on his Katana.

The Dragon noticed this and went berserk. It could feel danger coming from Ed's sword. "Grrrrr!" It growled at them, releasing a shockwave made by sound. Everyone almost flew by this shockwave, and barely managed to hang on. The only thought keeping them fighting was Ed. Raikou's shadow binds almost failed, but Garu used his Ice magic to freeze the back part of the Dragon. It looked like a giant iceberg suddenly appeared. This help came in time, allowing everyone to focus on the front part of the Dragon. WarGreymon managed to puncture the second eye of the Dragon using his Dramon Killers, making the Dragon blind.

"Thank you, everyone," Ed spoke to them and finally moved. A minute, which seemed like an eternity, finally passed. Everyone was full of injuries, yet they never once doubted Ed.

"I'll let you have a taste of my Providence Blade: Final Countdown Version!" Ed's Hatsu was called 'Final Countdown'. This ability allowed him to enhance anything for a certain period of time. The Limitations he put on it were the following: First, he can't move while enhancing something. Second, the lowest time he can set is ten seconds. Third, if he breaks any of the first two rules, he won't be able to use Nen for a week. As an Enhancer, Ed stuck to the basic and decided on a simple ability. Yet this simple ability proved to be very powerful. Even a couple of minutes using this ability would guarantee catastrophic results.

Shusui was covered in darkness, and black lightning zapped around it from time to time. It looked as if it could bend the light around it. Ed didn't waste any more time and teleported right in front of the Dragon. The Dragon could feel him coming, and swiped with one of its hands. Ed used his Conqueror's Haki, making the Dragon flinch. "Activate the Berserk skill!" Ed decided to go all or nothing on this attack. His Berserk skill would allow him to double his physical abilities while sacrificing his cognitive ones. Since Ed was using the last bit of KI on this sword skill, he would lose consciousness as soon as it is executed. So he thought about using the Berserk skill instead of being used by it.

Ed released the skill with the last bit of mental ability he had. He was relieved to see that his companions were out of the range of the attack. A gigantic sword slash was released; it was bigger than the Dragon itself. "You damn Ningen (Human)!" the Dragon cursed as it was being eaten alive by the skill. Soon, it was pushed to the edge of the ring, colliding with the barrier. Yet, even the unbreakable barrier, broke under the pressure from the skill. It continued on until no one could see it anymore.

Ed, who was falling to the ground, was caught by Raikou. He was unconscious, but as if he could feel the victory, a smile was formed on his face. Both Merry and Suika used their healing magic to heal everyone. They were all exhausted but still did their best. Even Agumon reverted back to his baby form which was called Koromon. He looked like a pink ball with wide eyes, a large mouth, and long ribbon-like ears. Every time he used up his energy, he would revert to this form.

Ed woke up after a full two days of sleep. The first thing he did was thank his companions for believing in him. The next thing he did was cook a feast since everyone was starving. He used the boar, camel, and bison meat. Everyone had their fill and slept for almost an entire day.

"Now, what is this about?" Ed looked towards a magic circle on the ground. "we were always teleported forcefully, so why use a circle now?" Ed was doubtful about this sudden change. However, something in the circle started to change.

A series of incomprehensible numbers appeared in front of him.

'Isn't this Binary code?' Ed's programming skill activated, and the numbers changed to words. 'Second tower?!' a couple of words shocked Ed.
