Bai Yu also turned his gaze to the battlefield.
The battle was already an unequal game of mockery.
Renamon's figure was like a golden lightning bolt, elegantly moving through Goblimon's wild, wind-whipping club swings, her posture unhurried.
Finally, after another nimble leap into the air, avoiding a futile attack, a hint of impatience flashed in Renamon's golden beast eyes.
She glanced at Ruki not far away.
"Ruki, item card."
"Got it," Ruki's reply was as concise as ever.
Her fingertips deftly pulled a card from the card holder, and with a swift swipe, it passed over her d-ark digivice!
An invisible stream of energy surged from the D-Arc, instantly infusing Renamon's body.
A faint glow rippled across her golden fur, her power rapidly escalating.
However, just as victory was about to be decided, an unexpected change occurred!
A light far more dazzling than the one on Renamon's body erupted from Goblimon's form, causing both Ruki and Renamon to freeze!
Within the intense ball of light, Goblimon's body was forcibly stretched and expanded, emitting a roar that was no longer sharp, but instead filled with savagery and ferocity!
As the light receded, Goblimon's figure had vanished.
In its place was a demonic being, several times larger, covered in crimson skin, and wielding a grotesque bone club—the Adult-level Typhoon!
The moment Goblimon evolved, Bai Yu keenly noticed that the inverted red triangle mark on Calumon's forehead, whom he was holding, was faintly glowing.
Seeing this, Bai Yu sighed softly in his heart: As expected of the little guy containing the power of evolution, just being nearby can influence the evolution of other Digimon.
Clearly, Goblimon's sudden evolution was entirely due to Calumon.
However, the evolutionary power it absorbed seemed to be a bit small.
【Typhoon: Adult level, Ogre type, Virus species; Strength assessment: D-class.】
Even after evolving, this Typhoon's strength assessment remained at D-class, with no substantial breakthrough.
Unlike Bai Yu's composure, Ruki and Renamon both showed incredulous shock at this scene of evolution.
Evolution! Goblimon actually evolved!
Ruki had been tirelessly hunting Digimon that materialized in the real world with Renamon, traveling everywhere.
Killing and absorbing data were all for the sole purpose of making Renamon stronger and allowing her to evolve sooner.
Yet, despite such long efforts, there wasn't even the slightest sign of evolution on Renamon.
But this Goblimon in front of them just evolved just like that!
Why?
At this moment, Ruki felt her composure wavering.
"Roar!"
After evolving into Typhoon, it let out a ferocious roar, its crimson eyes locked onto Renamon, and the grotesque bone club in its hand whipped up a wicked wind as it mercilessly smashed down!
Renamon quickly regained her senses, her figure flashing, narrowly dodging the powerful blow.
Boom!
The bone club smashed heavily into the ground, kicking up a shower of gravel and dust.
Although the system's strength rating remained unchanged, this Typhoon's power was undoubtedly an improvement compared to the previous Goblimon.
The earlier composure and playfulness on Renamon's face were gone, replaced by a look of gravity.
Typhoon's attacks were wild and dense, one club swing after another, forcing Renamon to constantly retreat and evade, and for a moment, she was even suppressed.
"Ruki, concentrate!"
Renamon's steady voice came, waking Ruki from her distracted thoughts.
Ruki suddenly snapped back, seeing Renamon struggling on the battlefield, she immediately suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
She then quickly drew two cards and swiftly swiped them over her d-ark digivice!
With the power of the cards, Renamon's aura surged again, and she seized a gap in Typhoon's attack, letting out a clear cry.
"Fox Leaf Arrowhead!"
Countless energy leaves, shimmering with cold light, condensed out of thin air and shot towards Typhoon like a rainstorm!
Rumble!
Amidst the violent explosion, Typhoon's massive body was completely engulfed, and it let out an unwilling wail before transforming into a swirling stream of data.
Renamon panted slightly, ready to step forward and absorb it.
However, Bai Yu, standing to the side, once again raised a blank dial.
The scattered data in the air transformed into a data stream, rapidly flowing into the blank dial in Bai Yu's hand!
Ruki had been distracted, keeping an eye on Bai Yu, and when she saw Bai Yu's familiar action, a raging fire instantly ignited in her eyes!
"You're stealing my stuff again!"
An angry voice rang out, Ruki couldn't suppress her fury and quickly rushed towards Bai Yu.
Approaching Bai Yu, Ruki delivered an incredibly fierce high kick, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind, aiming squarely at the side of Bai Yu's head!
Don't let Ruki's small stature fool you; this kick was both fast and vicious, clearly indicating she had some training.
But unfortunately, Bai Yu quickly retreated two steps, dodging Ruki's kick.
"Clang—!"
Just then, a crisp electronic sound effect rang out.
As the last bit of data was fully absorbed, the blank dial in Bai Yu's hand suddenly changed.
The original blank style disappeared, replaced by a crimson background, with tiger-striped black patterns around the edges, and the grotesque image of Typhoon engraved in the center of the dial.
The Typhoonmon Watch was complete.
Bai Yu looked at the new dial in his hand with satisfaction, a slight smile on his lips.
Having missed her kick, Ruki's anger burned even hotter, and without hesitation, she rushed towards Bai Yu again.
"Are you never going to stop?"
Bai Yu snorted lightly; he wasn't the type to just take hits without fighting back.
He pressed the button on the newly created Typhoonmon Watch.
"Typhoon!"
A wild electronic sound effect rang out, followed by the dial in Bai Yu's hand vanishing into thin air.
In its place was a grotesque bone club, identical to the one Typhoon had wielded earlier!
Bai Yu flicked his wrist, pointing the heavy bone club at Ruki, who was charging towards him.
Looking at the bone club so close, Ruki's pupils suddenly constricted, her forward momentum abruptly halted, and her body swayed slightly from the sudden stop.
"Ruki!"
Renamon exclaimed, her figure flashing like lightning to Ruki's side, scooping her up, and quickly retreating, putting a safe distance between them.
"Are you alright, Ruki?" Renamon asked with concern, setting Ruki down.
Ruki shook her head, indicating she was fine, but her purple eyes were fixed on Bai Yu and the grotesque bone club in his hand, her gaze filled with fury.
