I have a Digimon that gained ＜Security Attack +1＞ from another card’s effect, and which also gained ＜Piercing＞ from this card’s inherited effect. I attack an opponent's Digimon with it, and perform a security check with ＜Piercing＞. The first card checked has a ＜De Digivolve 1＞＜Security＞ effect, which trashes the top card of my attacking Digimon, turning it into a Digimon without [Free] in its traits or [Imperialdramon]. This causes the Digimon to also lose ＜Piercing＞. Do I still perform the second check?
No, ＜Piercing＞ has already activated. Perform the additional check, assuming your Digimon still has ＜Security Attack +1＞.
