First Encounter with the Black Vatican

When Ye Xinxia was pushed out of the shopping mall by Lin Chen, she saw this world again and found that the streets were in a mess, with scattered garbage and human remains everywhere.

"If Lin Chen hadn't appeared, I might have ended up like the corpse on the ground." A thought flashed through Ye Xinxia's mind, and her gratitude towards Lin Chen grew even stronger.

"Lin Chen, do you know how to leave here and get to a safe place?" Ye Xinxia looked up at Lin Chen.

"We need to go to the Jiaming Overpass. It will be much safer for us to reach the safety barrier from there," Lin Chen said to Ye Xinxia, ​​based on his memories.

"Okay." Ye Xinxia nodded.

"By the way, Agumon and I need to be careful of the surrounding dangers later. We might not pay attention to the route for a moment, so please remind me how to get there," Lin Chen said.

"Hmm." A hint of worry flashed across Ye Xinxia's face: "I hope we won't encounter too many demons."

……

On the street, a red light suddenly appeared, followed by a ball of flame that shot out like a cannonball, striking a one-eyed demon wolf covered in blood with perfect accuracy.

The one-eyed wolf's body was charred black by the flames, emanating a burnt smell, and its eyes were filled with terror.

It never expected that it and its two companions would find two people and a beast in front of them. They thought it would be a good meal, but the little beast suddenly burst out with powerful strength from its thin body and killed its two companions in an instant.

The one-eyed wolf struggled to get up from the ground, trying to escape from where it was.

But the Agumon wouldn't give it that chance. With a flash, it appeared directly in front of the One-Eyed Wolf and ripped open the Wolf's chest with a single claw.

"Wow...that's amazing!" Ye Xinxia stared at the demon corpses on the street, her face showing shock.

They encountered many demons along the way, and from the battles they fought, Ye Xinxia already knew that Agumon was very strong, but she did not expect that Agumon's strength was this great.

The three advanced-stage one-eyed demonic wolves were defeated by Agumon in just a few minutes. This was unlike the summoned beasts of the servant level; they were as powerful as demons of the warrior level.

……

On the rooftop of a residential building by the street, two men dressed in black stood. When Agumon breathed fire, their eyes were immediately drawn to the flames.

"It's her!" A man with his face covered stared at Ye Xinxia in the wheelchair, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

"That looks like a summoning mage. Do you know him?" the hook-nosed man asked.

"I don't recognize him, but the woman in the wheelchair is dead. He must be very sad." After saying this, the person with the covered face gave a command, and several black beast demons appeared behind him and disappeared from the rooftop.

……

Lin Chen pushed Ye Xinxia forward, and for some reason, there were far fewer demons along the way than before.

"Ugh, it stinks!" Agumon wrinkled his nose as a foul stench wafted from somewhere.

"Is there?" Lin Chen didn't smell anything, but still said, "Agumon, be careful, there might be danger."

As Lin Chen finished speaking, a manhole suddenly burst open a few meters behind him.

With a loud "bang," the manhole cover was blown off, and a dark figure darted out from it, moving with lightning speed, and instantly pounced on Ye Xinxia.

"Agumon!" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise, and pounced on Ye Xinxia, ​​knocking her and her wheelchair to the ground.

As the shadow appeared, Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise. Almost simultaneously, Agumon, arriving later but faster, appeared in front of Lin Chen just as the shadow was about to pounce on him, colliding with it.

With a "bang," Agumon stood firmly in front of Lin Chen, easily intercepting the shadow's fatal blow.

"Whoosh!!"

Just then, another dark figure darted out from the alleys on both sides of the street, extending sharp claws to attack Lin Chen's location.

Seeing that its sneak attack had failed and its companions were attacking Lin Chen, the shadowy figure in front of Agumon turned to flee.

Agumon stretched out its arms, grabbed one of the shadowy arms, let out a long roar, and unleashed terrifying power from within its body. It swung the shadowy arm in its hands and smashed it directly at another shadowy figure that was rushing towards it.

With a loud bang, the two dark figures collided, and under Agumon's immense force, they crashed directly into a shop on the side of the street.

Damn it, what is that thing? It's so fast! If it weren't for Agumon, we would both be done for.

Lin Chen stood up and, seeing that the danger had been eliminated by Agumon, immediately straightened the wheelchair, picked up Ye Xinxia, ​​and put her back in the wheelchair.

"Kid, not bad. Normally I wouldn't want to lay a hand on you, but you brought people you shouldn't have. I hope you won't blame me in the afterlife." A cold voice slowly came from a small alleyway beside the street.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Lin Chen discovered that a man dressed in black, with his entire face covered by a black cloth, had appeared at the alley exit at some point.

"Who do you think you are, hiding like this, trying to kill me? I bet you won't see the sun tomorrow!" Lin Chen, who had been ambushed, was not in a good mood and retorted angrily.

"If I can't do it, then add these!" The man in black snapped his fingers with his right hand.

The next second, in Lin Chen's line of sight, the black shadow that had been smashed into the shop by Agumon came out, followed by eight more black shadows emerging from various corners, surrounding Lin Chen, Agumon, and Agumon.

Black Beast Demon!!

Lin Chen was startled. These ten black figures were all monkey-faced and deformed human bodies, looking extremely ugly. Weren't they the Black Church's signature henchmen, the Black Beast Demons?

"Are you a member of the Black Vatican?" Lin Chen frowned, his expression turning serious.

"You actually recognized me, so it seems you're not so simple after all. In that case, we can't let you stay any longer." The man in black sneered, and with a wave of his right hand, ten black beast demons immediately pounced on Lin Chen.

A burst of flame suddenly shot out from Agumon's mouth, leaving a dazzling red trail of fire, and landed directly in the middle of the group of Black Beast Demons in front of it.

The flames exploded in the middle, and the force of the explosion was extremely destructive to the black beast demon, instantly stopping it in front of him.

Immediately afterward, Agumon stomped its legs on the ground and charged toward the Black Beast that was attacking from the left at an extremely fast speed. The moment it made contact with the Black Beast, it used its powerful strength to restrain it, and then slammed it down hard on the Black Beast that was attacking Lin Chen from behind.

With a whoosh, the Black Beast in Agumon's hand slammed into the Black Beasts behind Lin Chen like a cannonball, sending them flying.

Then, Agumon flashed forward, swung its claws, and under the moonlight, the sharp claws whistled through the air, slicing out a golden line that cleaved the Black Beast Demon that was attacking from the right in two.

In an instant, one of the Black Beast Demons was dead and nine were injured. The man in black, who had been so confident, was immediately stunned. Lin Chen looked at the scene before him and gave the man in black a mocking smile.
