Child of Destiny

Chapter 1666: Chaotic Luckʼs First Professional Battle (Part 5)

...…

The intense battle between Himura and the two elite undead monsters of Chaotic Luck continued, as they ravaged through the surrounding, changing the terrain of the area completely.

Through this battle, Himura was able to somewhat grasp the overall capabilities of his opponent. Even if the latter possessed some decent scheming ability and quite a decent control over his summoned undead monsters, there were still quite a couple of distinct flaws that could be seen.

Chaotic Luckʼs skills were only above the average if he excluded the overly absurd Legion of the Chaotic Sun. He was confident that he would be able to deal with this guy so long as there were only these two elite undead monsters.

But the main problem remained; he was still unable to find the exact location of his opponent. He had already sent his spirit eagle to scout the surrounding area earlier, looking for traces of Chaotic Luck. But despite sweeping through the more than a kilometer radius, he still could not find his target at all.

The same happened even if he increased his range up to 3 kilometers, which was already absurd.

Such a range was already beyond the maximum range that most of the necromancers, summoners, or tamers could have. It was already beyond the capabilities of such players. Even the most powerful ones shouldnʼt have a larger range than this, so Himura refused to believe that Chaotic Luck would be able to do that as well.

Little did he know, Chaotic Luckʼs range of control reached the entire battle area, which was unheard of. Even Immortal shouldnʼt have such an absurd range.

Even the live audience and online viewers were unaware of Chaotic Luckʼs maximum range as they could see that he was only sitting cross-legged behind a huge boulder while controlling his entire legion.

This location was quite ʼfarʼ from the main battlefield, but it was not that absurd in the eyes of everyone. It was still in an acceptable range, which was why they did not realize his real limits yet.

But what made the faces of these people contorted was the fact that the spirit eagle never found him despite flying over his head multiple times.

He always happened to be in the ʼblind spotʼ of the spirit eagle whenever it flew past his location.

They did not know whether it was deliberately chosen by Chaotic Luck or he just happened to choose it randomly, which turned out to be the perfect hiding spot. Regardless, he always dodged the vision of the spirit eagle, which was why he was never found by his opponent.

Not long after, everyone noticed that Chaotic Luck summoned yet another elite undead monster, which was slightly different from the other two that were already fighting Himura.

It looked like an undead archer but with more stunning features compared to the rest. It seemed to be an elf when it was still alive and turned into an undead.

Aside from its blazing eyes and somewhat fiery hair, everything about this particular undead archer was normal.

But what made the people speechless was the quality of the equipment that this undead elf was wearing. It only required them a single glance to tell that this set of equipment was comparable to the one that the Blazing Brilliance was wearing.

Those with artisan professions had sharp eyes, so they immediately noticed that the leather used to craft the armor of this undead elf was among the best qualities.

Adding the long bow that seemed to be made from the bone of a strange monster. It Looked like a spine due to the segmented sections of the shaft while the bowstring itself seemed to also come from the same monster due to the perfect resonation that could be seen by the naked eye.

”Such an extravagance!”

”This is how a rich master spends his opponent.”

”D*mn! First, it is an overpowered Death Knight donning with the best of equipment. And now, it is an Undead Archer equipped with a similar level of items. How rich!”

…

…

…

The live chat was immediately filled with such comments after seeing how Chaotic Luck ʼcasuallyʼ summoned yet another undead monster of similar quality.

…

Back on the battlefield, Chaotic Luck was currently wearing a solemn expression. He could instantly feel the drawbacks of summoning this additional undead monster. Not only his mana regeneration was able to keep up with the mana consumption, but it was quite draining for his concentration and willpower as well.

He knew that he had to finish this as soon as possible if he wanted to win, and not disappoint Shin who had entrusted the first match to him.

”It is a pity that I canʼt summon my Lich yet. Not only does it consume a lot of mana but keeping it under control is quite troublesome as well,” he sighed before giving a series of orders to the half-zombie half-ghoul Elf before him.

What before him was a type of Deathwalker, which had the capability of fighting the reapers after their death. They had defeated the beings that came to guide their souls to the afterlife and reclaimed their bodies and life in the process.

But this Deathwalker before him had lost its memories and self-awareness and turned into a puppet-like creature with immense power.

Chaotic Luck had acquired this body as a reward for passing his Tier 3 Promotion Quest, which then transformed into its current appearance after infusing the powers of the Sun of his Solaris Lich Class and equipping it with the equipment that he had commissioned from the Hand of Midas.

He called it the Fiery Deathwalker.

”Triple Control is my current limit setting aside the skeleton leaders leading the smaller units of the entire legion that barely consume my mana and concentration. But given the current situation, I will most likely get exhausted in just 5-10 minutes before I become drained completely,” he mumbled as he sent the Fiery Deathwalker to the battlefield.

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the main battlefield, Himura was still fighting intensely against the Blazing Brilliance and the Sol Behemoth, continuing to hold him and waiting for something.

He had already realized that there was no other elite undead monster joining the battle, so he suspected that this was the current limit of his opponent.

He also ignored the encirclement that was trapping him in this place. It had already shrunk a lot, covering an entire kilometer.

He was waiting for it to come a little closer so that he could take advantage of his strong firepower to blast their formation, creating an opening where he could escape.

It was quite troublesome for him to do this earlier since the range of the encirclement was quite large, which would take him a lot of effort to break through.

The legion was quite spread at that time, having a ʼthinʼ line of defense, which he could take advantage of. But at the same time, it was easier to replenish that line due to their scattered forces that could be easy to maneuver due to the lot of space that they had.

Adding the pressure that the two elite undead monsters that were stuck to him, he would only be trapped within the encirclement again and again if he insisted on doing that.

However, executing that plan when the encirclement shrunk to the point where the forces became a little more ʼcompactʼ and more solid.

He could just blast one of the walls in that instance and even use the destructive power of the two elite undead monsters as collateral against the legion.

He could wreak more havoc in their formation at that time, which would be more favorable to him. It might be more dangerous as well due to the larger number of enemies besieging him in all directions, but it was worth the risk so long as he was careful enough.

Moreover, as the saying goes, ʼWhen the gods fight, the mortal suffers.ʼ – In such an intense battle, it was impossible for the weaker ones to just jump in as they would only be a burden for their allies or an extra layer of ʼwallʼ that the opponent could take advantage of.

Everything had already been planned, but Himura was taken aback when Chaotic Luck purposely stopped shrinking the encirclement and just maintained enough distance away from the battlefield.

He just set up a ʼwallʼ that entrapped Himura like a caged beast.

Himura did not expect that this rookie was this tricky to deal with. It was normal for such rookies to commit a mistake after seeing their opponent at a disadvantage. They were supposed to feel a little greedier and end this battle with all their strength.

But contrary to his expectation, Chaotic Luck refused to do that and just kept his calm.

The pressure started to build up, making Himura somewhat anxious. What David had analyzed earlier started to kick it and come true.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As Himura was starting to feel a little nervous, a series of sharp sounds suddenly sounded from the distance, which was very familiar to him.

A hail of arrows was fired from the distance and headed at him. Adding the might that each of these arrows had, Himura knew that an ʼexpertʼ had fired all of them.

With an ugly expression, Himura responded and used everything he could to escape the arrows raining from the sky.

Coordinating well with the Fiery Deathwalker, the Blazing Brilliance, and the Sol Behemoth cut off his advance and started putting more pressure on him.

”F*ck!” Himura could not help but curse after realizing that another elite undead monster had joined the battle.

He was not sure whether he had miscalculated it or if the other side was just conserving their strength. Regardless, he was currently in an ugly predicament that seemed to be impossible to solve.

”Ahhh!” he became arranged as he felt very humiliated.

Not only he had never found his opponent, not even their shadow, but he was also being suppressed by a bunch of undead monsters that were supposed to be ʼweakerʼ than him.

But he still put up a good fight and despite battling three powerful undead monsters, even suppressing them from time to time.

But at the same time, he knew that it would be pointless as he was only waiting for his end at this time.

At one point, he was tempted to just stay still and let the other party kill him and hid more of his cards next time at their away match, planning to redeem himself there.

But his pride would not permit him to do that, which was why he continued to persevere.

In the end, he still started showcasing his real capabilities, which proved that his reputation was not just for show.

The only problem was he was showing this while fighting a rookie, which still elevated Chaotic Luckʼs name a little higher.

But when everything was lost, a miracle happened!

Out of nowhere, the entire Legion of Chaotic Sun stopped moving, including the three elite undead monsters that were suppressing Himura.

Everyone was stunned and confused at what happened. The entire legion turned into dust and dissipated in the air.

”What!?”

Himura stared blankly in the air for quite a while before regaining his senses. His somewhat dead eyes suddenly became alive as he started sprinting in a certain direction.

When the Legion of the Chaotic Sun dissipated, his spirit eagle was able to sense an unknown source of mana coming from this distance. It might be faint but the sensitivity of the spirit eagle when it came to mana signature was quite keen, especially in instances like this where the sudden disappearance of mana flow supporting the entire legion of undead was cut off.

It was able to instantly lock on the source of mana where all these ʼstringsʼ were connected.

Himura did not have to guess what it was as it should be the sign of Chaotic Luck ʼendingʼ his skill. He did not show any signs of hesitation when he sprinted toward that location as his spirit eagle also headed to that place to investigate.

It was also at this moment that everyone realized what had happened. They could not help but sigh in regret immediately.

It was an opportunity for a rookie to defeat a veteran in their debut fight, which was a noble thing. Unfortunately, the Goddess of Luck seemed to be against Chaotic Luck somehow and ended up in this situation.

”What a pity,” commented Miss Bunny from the broadcast.

Everything was going smoothly earlier, but it seemed like it was still not enough. In the end, Chaotic Luck would still be defeated just like any other rookie in their debut.

On the other hand, David beside her remained calm. He did not see anything as his eyes were fixated on the ongoing battle. It was as if he could do something that no other people could.

…

It did not long for the spirit eagle to find Chaotic Luck, who was currently sitting on top of a boulder with a sad face.

His mana somewhat regenerated due to his insane mana regeneration. It was enough for him to cast a couple of skills, but he knew that he would not be able to fight someone of this caliber with his current abilities.

Even if his mana was more than enough to cast a powerful Tier 3 destructive spell, it would be useless since Himura could just cancel it while he was chanting the spell.

The result seemed to have been decided already.

”Bastard! I have finally found you!” shouted Himura in the distance. It seemed like all his accumulated frustration was about to explode at any given moment.

Because of excitement for revenge, he did not immediately kill Chaotic Luck even if he could do it in such a distance. His arrow would be enough to defeat the latter so long as he wanted.

Instead, he leaped into the air, flying straight to where Chaotic Luck was. ”I will make you pay for all the humiliation that you have given me!”

He was growling like a crazy beast, and he fell from the sky.

Chaotic Luck just stared at him, seemingly accepting his fate. But another unexpected twist had happened.

Bang!

As Himura touched the swamp, his feet seemed to have stepped into a quagmire, making it collapse. Then his entire body fell into it, half burying him.

”Eh!?”

”What!?”

”The F***!?

”Huh!?”

Everyone was also caught off guard at the sudden turn of events, making them stare blankly at the scene.

They all stared at Himura, who currently had the lower half of his body buried inside the mire. Moreover, he kept on sinking until it reached his chest.

Himura and Chaotic Luck stared at each other, seemingly unable to process what just happened. But the latter quickly reacted as he already had some experiences encountering such ʼunexpectedʼ circumstances.

He slowly raised his bone staff and pointed it toward the sky, casting an advanced spell.

”W-w-… wa-… wait!” Himura wanted to say something, but a pillar of light was already descending from the sky, and he landed at the spot where he had gotten himself stuck.

BOOM!

…

Both the people watching from the audience stand and the online broadcast stared blankly into the air as the system flashed the result with huge letters.

”Victory – Chaotic Luck!”
