So the Hazard Coast has entire packs of ferals like that? Or is Thresh strong by BlackGrowlmon standards even separately from the advantages of being non-feral?
So, he's not that much faster than Verge, and the Big Bear has him beat Strength and Fortitude. Thresh comes out on top in everything else, though. Especially Endurance, since Verge's mutant nature makes his body energy inefficient.

Given that he has a Chrome-Digizoid upgrade courtesy of Yggdrasil, he's probably much stronger than a standard BlackGrowlmon. Even before taking into account the fact that he's apparently the reincarnation of Megidramon.

Probably... though it's likely not the same as the difference between say Verge and the average Gryzmon but Growlmon are absurd champions to begin with so he doesn't need to be that buffed up compared to normal.
I'd normally be holding all these heavy hitters in envy.... but quite frankly I'm enjoying the fact that we can keep up with so many of them despite not being one ourselves.

Thresh is a powerful example of his species and boosted further by the whole "Chosen by Yggdrasil" thing.
Your average Growlmon/BlackGrowlmon would be more along the lines of that mon Verge fought back at Phelesmon's fortress. But yes, it does have packs of champions with stats in the low thousands.
They're not common, especially with Bulwark periodically clearing mon out. But there's a reason not even the Gloaming likes messing with Bulwark.

Greymon barrels through a pair of Boogiemon and sprints towards you, the rigid form of Sealdramon held in his arms. The Gloaming champions soar after him, tridents at the ready, but are met with flashing steel as what can only be the evolved form of Darcmon intercepts the pair. Your superior utilizes her new form's power in conjunction with the longsword's weight to unleash a series of brutal slashes. It's anything but graceful, and yet... the practiced simplicity to her movements as the heavy chrome digizoid in her hands cleaves through weapon and digimon both is hypnotizing in it's own way.
You'd never considered how skilled the wommon had been before, especially since as a champion she'd barely been able to lift the sword. However now that she's regained her evolution as an Angewomon, her experience with a blade is shown in full as can the weapon's own powerful properties. The BlackGrowlmon you'd battled before before lunges her way one claw set to rend her in half. But the officer meets his attack head on, flying into the blow and putting her weight into a diagonal upward slash.
Say, I just noticed this. Drunky is:
-Sword wielding
-Honorable
-Crude
-Alcoholic
-Birb Friend
-Sword specialist
-Quite fast for an Angewomon
She's basically one dose of Norse Data way from being a Valkyrimon, which comes in Ultimate and Mega editions, as well as being a legit slide evolution of Angewomon.
Anyone thinks giving her a tankard of mead would do the trick?
Her parry knocks the devil-dragon's arm off course and just as before he goes with the momentum. Only, so does the wommon and even if she's slower, the Ultimate's levers are far shorter. Before the dinosaur can even get halfway into his follow-up a spinning back-slash strikes his side, cleaving through his body and sending him stumbling back. A lesser digimon would have been cut in half, but your worthy opponent's sheer size keeps him from being dealt a mortal wound. You find an odd sense of relief in that fact.
"Catch!" Your commander blinks at the shout, then curses as Lekismon kicks Pit and Beat's kneeling forms directly at her. The former Darcmon is forced to sheathe her sword, lest it accidentally impale one of the champions she's trying to catch. For a moment you worry about the two's state, but breathe a sigh of relief as both twitching digimon prove to just be beaten up and in Pit's case, unconscious.
BlackGrowlmon looks ready to lunge at all three of them, but a single arrow of ice strikes his head, drawing his attention back to Lekismon. The Champion? Ultimate? You're not really sure beckons him back to her. He throws one last look over his shoulder, this time towards you for some reason, then grunts in disappointed affirmation and darts back.
The small, oddly familiar champion leaps up onto the devil-dinosaurs shoulder then... smiles towards you. It's a small thing, a simple flash of emotion opposite to the mon's normal dour expression, but... something about it hurts.
You tear your gaze away from the figure, finish the healing spell for Greymon and then look around. It's... not a pretty picture. Of the ground forces set to guard the Megadramon most look to have been deleted.
Your pocket seems to be the only marginally sized resistance left, with everything else doing its very best to retreat towards you. Angewomon is so far keeping the enemy forces back through threat alone, with HippoGriffomon tangling with NeoDevimon in the sky above.
An odd, armored Dinohumon is amongst the enemy reinforcements, though the champion is just staring at you with open shock and... what feels like despair. The fact that he has a Youkomon nearby cements him as that particular Dinohumon with nothing but revenge on his mind, but for some odd reason he isn't screaming his head off about revenge. Which you suppose is just as well, given how as Gryzmon you'd be able to bring an end to his path with a single strike.
But the Imperius hovering in front of you just laughs.
"Don't think you've won dipshits, you've forgotten one wee, very important thing!" Her left hand moves away to point back towards the aerial battle, or rather what had been a battle. The soldiers of Vortex Isle are in a clear rout, leaving over two thousand holy digimon to turn their attention this way. Sure the force has taken casualties but at least two thirds of their number still remains. Which is far more than what can be said of their enemies.
... Spirits above, I did not believe they'd obtain such a clear victory.
Pit sits up suddenly, his attention focused on a fleeing DeviDramon off in the distance. Golden fire flares across his wings, but surprisingly the angel doesn't chase after the enemy champion. Choosing to instead grip his rod tightly and growl under his breath.
All three vanish amidst a storm of glowing white icicles, their bodies ripped to shreds by the storm before they so much as scream. Horror and a small amount of pride (for some inexplicable reason) flow out from your core as she deletes three powerful champions with a single technique. Moments later after falling back down, the tunnel's mouth collapses, cutting off further pursuit.
Your hated foe hovers in the air in front of BishopChessmon. And he's not alone. The Legendary Warrior Shutumon poses beside him, as if intentionally showing off her unmarred body to the world. Sparks makes a gurgling sound of approval at the sight, prompting you to glare at the barely conscious champion.
"Yeah, fuck this!" Your squad leader growls, pointing her sword towards the struggling Cherub. "HolyAngemon for gods sake he's going to die!"
"No." The robed angel murmurs, his voice strangely hollow "Stand... stand down. There's nothing we can do to help him against... Shutumon."
"To the Dark Zone with that you asshole!" She snarls, gesturing towards the large army of angels around her. "We can-"
"It is our duty to carry on for the Host." Her superior interrupts. "You will not throw your life away for a fight that we cannot win. The Elite Bellators are exhausted, and even together with your pet and every Ultimate here that Vamdemon alone would be enough to delete you" Angewomon glares at him for that and grips her chrome-digizoid sword hard enough that her knuckles turn white. "Cherub BishopChessmon gave me orders to evacuate in case there was no chance of victory, and... I will follow though."
Oh yeah.... he was very chill, the Host is almost certainly doing to worse off without him.
But yeah looking at how he managed to stonewall two Ultimates both of whom are very powerful in their own right BishopChessmon was either a beast for his species or BishopChessmon in general are actually crazy strong.
I mean, we studied under Sir Scratch, the Host just lost some high ranking guys including Sir Tyilinmon, and we have just fought our Third Legendary Warrior and this time we outright won ( )
Considering how they spun the PR on our fight with Wolfmon/Lobomon and the fact that they NEED to have a bright side too this whole thing to keep up morale...
Mayhaps we'll being reading about Sir Verge in the near future?
I think any promotions if Verge gets em will probably come about if Verge hits Ultimate if only because at the point he'll probably be swinging at high level Ultimate low level Mege.... especially if his Ultimate is something powerful like a deva.
At those levels of power I'm pretty sure Ork rules start kicking in for most organizations.
Pretty much why I said the only time I can see it happening is after hitting Ultimate, and even then likely because something with that level of power being able to be ordered around by anyone Sergent or above would be.... weird.
I could see us getting promoted to whatever an "Elite Bellator" is. A bunch of those just died, and that seems to be the rank used for "You're too strong to be a mere Bellator, but we can't really make you an officer since you aren't leader material".
Astamon's gambit had succeeded. Vortex Isle had been set against The Host and in doing so, advanced his grand plans forward by one ever-so-crucial step. Even the Isle's failure to erect the barrier and summary defeat were in the end, simply unimportant in the long run. The fact that the Gloaming had acquired something truly special in the process was just a bonus.
But the lone Dinohumon striding listlessly along cared not for any this. To him the long complicated plans ultimately meant nothing. For the majority of his life, ever since that day, he'd had only two goals important enough to matter. But as time passed, both only seemed to get further and further away. The tumultuous sky above howls, wind swirling into deadly spirals, no longer being corralled by the coven's power, it begins to revert back to its natural pattern.
Staying out alone for much longer would be foolish, but...
Was there even a point in returning?
His clenched hands begin to shake.
The Cripple and its Mutant Beast were strong. Too strong. That was not power any champion should have possessed.
Everything he'd done to prepare for the encounter had been useless. The endless hours of training to his limits. Acquiring arms and armor from Grottemon, even his bargain with Phelesmon… in the end, all of it had been useless.
MetalTyrannomon, Lord Count's second most powerful servant had been torn in half. Their power and potential were simply on a different level than his own and he had a sinking feeling that the gap would only widen.
If they had managed to come so far in such a short amount of time, then he couldn't fathom a way to ever catch up. Not in this lifetime and perhaps not even the next. Once he'd thought himself strong, ready to avenge his lord. But in the end it had been simple hubris. Reality had decreed him to be weak and them strong. Now either could delete him without a second thought and he'd be helpless to resist.
In all his many weeks of existing, the champion had never felt this before. He'd dealt with grief, then anger. But never this… utter hopelessness.
The only thing left from his old life was Youkomon, but even she was stronger than him. Better than him.
And the truth was, all he'd ever done was hold her back.
Now, he could continue the pointless fight, serving the wicked for a vengeance that would never come. Or...
Dinohumon looks down at his sword, bearing the mark of his... friend. Grottemon's heavy blade was sharp, he would only need the barest pressure in the right spot to bring things to an end. The champion raises his sword up... then slams it into the ground with a roar.
"No! No matter what it costs Lord Fugamon will have justice done, I won't let it end like this!" He rises back up, teeth grinding together in fury and yanks the weapon free with a dark grunt.
"Thunderbolt!" A voice screams in the distance.
Dinohumon whirls about, watching as a bright flash of yellow energy lights up night. First there's confusion, after all the Host army had left long ago. Which means, either a straggler, or a battle between Gloaming soldiers. The champion shoulders his blade and darts towards the flashing light.
When he arrives at the scene a minute later, all that remains is a single Sorcerymon collapsed at the bottom of a rocky indentation. The warrior stalks over looking over the defeated magic user, noting how one of the mon's legs had been entirely blasted off. When combined with his other wounds, this mon was on the verge of deletion.
He comes to a stop above the Sorcerymon and raises his blade. As a warrior serving under the Gloaming, it's his duty to finish this champion. Even if he's beaten and utterly defenseless.
His sword plunges down, cutting through the earth beside Sorcerymon's head. The short champion flinches awake, staring at the blue blade in shock.
"... why?"
"You are my enemy, but not a threat. I'm a warrior with honor. Not some a psychopathic Wizard or wrath-filled Beast. Deleting you here would only stain it."
"... that is, rare. And surprising for a member of the Gloaming."
"You'd be foolish to believe the Host boasts better company." Dinohumon bites back, sheathing his great blade once more.
Sorcerymon pauses, then gives a grudging nod.
"The Lord's flock are... not what they once were." Sorcerymon pauses to clear his throat. "Who has hurt you so, Child? I see it written on your face. Pain, anger, sorrow, despair. I will listen... if you wish me to."
"Listen... to me?" Dinohumon blinks at the offer, caught off guard by strange proposal. No digimon had really offered to do something like that before. But... this was neither the time, nor the place. The lizard-mon shakes his head, declining the offer. "My pain is my own.
"Very well child. It is not my place to pry." The one-legged digimon weakly props himself up, and pulls down his coat to offer the enemy digimon a smile. "You may share when ready, but until then. In the Holy Fathers name, I offer you my personal surrender. Young warrior, do you accept?"
"You are... surrendering?" Dinohumon blinks, unsure of how to respond. He hadn't exactly read the rules of how the whole *taking prisoners* thing worked.
"Ah, unfamiliar with the proper procedures?" Sorcerymon murmurs with half-suppressed mirth. "Then please allow this old fool to bequeath the knowledge upon you. Please sit. Back during after Daemon's initial rise-" And so Dinohumon took a seat and listened. His despair forgotten. For now at least.
