Child of Destiny

……

Chaotic Luck was still in the middle of processing what had just happened when the system brought him to the next battlefield right after announcing his victory.

The good thing about this was his current mana pool. Due to the actions of the apparition of the Ancient Lich King behind him earlier, his mana had been restored to full, making him fully ready for the next round of battle.

He might not have absorbed the Powers of Absolute Darkness permanently, but it had brought him quite assistance for the next battle.

He swiftly gathered his thoughts and quickly swept his gaze over the surroundings, immediately finding out that he was currently in a ruined city. He was currently standing in the middle of the main road, where a lot of broken vehicles were scattered everywhere irregularly and chaotically.

There were also some tall grasses spouting out of the cracks of the asphalt road and some trees sticking out of the broken and ruined buildings around him.

Fallen City – it was a quite ordinary map without any special features aside from being more modern compared to the other maps, which either had an ancient or a medieval design.

But despite it not having any special features, it was among the maps that were the best for marksmen, especially the ones with quite a long range, such as snipers and bowmasters.

While Chaotic Luck was still recovering from the previous battle and sweeping his gaze at the surroundings, his opponent had already secured a high ground, where she could use to start her attacks.

Sheryl was quite surprised that Keir had lost the previous round, but she swiftly collected herself and focused on what she needed to do.

She quickly put her sniper rifle on her shoulders while swiftly climbing the highest building within the map, which was currently located at the center of the map.

This map was quite small, so she was able to quickly reach her destination and swiftly climb to the rooftop, securing herself a huge vantage point.

She was also able to quickly spot Chaotic Luck, who was currently surveying the surroundings. She also did not fail to notice the Death Knight that was quite ahead of Chaotic Luck while its master was currently looking for a place to hide.

Chaotic Luck was also summoning his legion one after another, scattering them in every direction while also organizing them into formation.

What made Chaotic Luck quite odd was that the current legion was quite different from what he usually had. Due to his ’turning off’ the blessings of the sun, the legion was now no different from the regular undead creatures that most of the necromancer classes had.

The only difference was that this particular legion of undead possessed a much stronger power compared to most of the players with the necromancer class. After all, the inheritance that he had gotten for this class was among the best and strongest in all necromancers, even without the blessings of the sun that made his class mutate into Solaris Lich.

What made Chaotic Luck even anxious was that he could not turn the blessings of the sun back on, which was why his current legion of undead did not have any flames surrounding them or covering their skulls.

But it was swapped with a powerful, dark, and corrupted energy that was no weaker than the power of the sun that they had earlier possessed.

The black miasma that was being emitted by their bodies constantly gave off an eerie and dangerous feeling that made the others afraid of them instinctively.

Fortunately, Chaotic Luck could tell that his and the legion’s current state would only last until he was sent out of the field, returning him to his previous state later.

After observing Chaotic Luck and his legion for a few moments, Sheryl finally took her aim and focused on the Solaris Lich, planning to finish him off in a single strike.

She inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, regulating his breathing while aiming at Chaotic Luck. She waited patiently until the right and perfect opportunity presented itself.

The pace of this round would most likely be different compared to the previous one, especially when it was a matchup between a necromancer class and a marksman class.

The first few moments of the match were quite silent, which made the spectators feel a bit strange. It was not because of the residual effects of the intense clash from the previous round, but it was due to Sheryl being too careful in this one.

Given the current situation, it was better to take the shot much earlier, especially when Chaotic Luck was still unable to fully regain himself from the previous round.

The longer Sheryl took her shot, the better the condition Chaotic Luck would have. The latter would most likely be able to recover himself and adjust for this round, making it harder for her to take him down much later.

Chaotic Luck would also be able to set up the battle formations for his legion, making it even harder for her to kill him.

While everyone was getting impatient, Sheryl had finally made her move, pulling the trigger of the sniper rifle and firing her first shot.

Bang!

The loud gunshot swiftly rang out across the entire map.

Chaotic Luck had already cast a barrier around him much earlier, making sure that he would not be killed instantly by a single shot from his opponent.

One of the things that made him relieved, despite the changes brought about by his current state, was that his skills remained almost the same as before, with only their attributes changing from Sun Element to Darkness.

Bang!

But this barrier was instantly destroyed by the first shot of his opponent, making him raise his brows a little.

Bang!

Almost simultaneously, another shot came from the top of the tallest skyscraper at the center of the map, signifying the next deadly shot that Sheryl had fired.

Swoosh!

This bullet left a streak of light in the air while heading straight to Chaotic Luck’s head, seemingly planning to blast it off.

Whoosh!

It did not give Chaotic Luck enough time to respond, almost reaching his head in an instant.

Bang!

Fortunately, the Death Knight was able to quickly reach the side of its master, extending its sword to block the trajectory of the enhanced bullet and preventing it from advancing further.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, the entire legion simultaneously turned their gazes toward the top of the tallest skyscraper, seemingly locking on the beautiful sniper who just fired that shot.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Roar!

Not long after, the legion seemed to go crazy and started sprinting toward the skyscraper like a savage horde of undead creatures.

Whoosh!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Some of them even spread their wings and launched themselves into the sky, swiftly flying towards the rooftop of that skyscraper.

Sheryl remained unfazed despite the crazy horde of undead rushing toward her. She just casually adjusted her position while continuing to aim at Chaotic Luck, seemingly ignoring all the flying skeleton creatures heading her way.

When this group of flying skeletons was halfway to reaching the top of the skyscraper that she was on, a series of mechanical sounds suddenly started ringing behind him.

Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!

The sounds of mental clanking behind her continued for a few seconds before every spectator watching the match saw multiple mechanical torrents appear behind Sheryl.

They organized themselves in a tight formation, covering multiple directions, before starting to fire at the incoming undead creatures.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

The mechanical torrents fired a barrage of attacks, taking down a flying skeleton one after another, preventing them from approaching Sheryl.

Meanwhile, Sheryl was already firing at Chaotic Luck, who was trying his best to command his legion.

He was under the tight protection of the Death Knight, which was continuously blocking and deflecting all the attacks from Sheryl.

This was her way of both pinning the Death Knight in place and keeping it in check. Since she knew that Chaotic Luck did not have any other highly advanced undead, it was better to force it to protect its master rather than letting it loose on the battlefield.

So long as this Death Knight was not able to do anything else, Sheryl was confident that her mechanical tools would be able to deal with the rest of the legion of undead.

Taking another deep breath and focusing her mind, Sheryl took out her special goggles while taking her aim.

A few moments later, she started using her gunfighting techniques, suppressing the Death Knight and disturbing Chaotic Luck, who was doing his best to command his legion.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under all this pressure and adding all the fatigue that Chaotic Luck had suffered from previously, the Solaris Lich was starting to crumble little by little.

Everything was starting to pile up, making it harder for him to focus.

His concentration was rapidly dropping, making his situation even worse, especially when his opponent was not giving him any breathing time to recover.

He started to become aware of his worsening condition, making it clear that he was slowly and steadily dropping into a very dangerous situation.
