Child of Destiny

Chapter 1810: Total Chaos (Part 2)

...…

Chaos!

Utter Chaos!

These were the only words that could describe the current situation on the battlefield.

With Shinʼs initial assault, the formation that the Earners Mercenary Group had prepared had turned into a serious mess. He not only broke their formation, but he had also messed up their tempo in battle as well.

Taking advantage of the situation, the rest of the Empyrean Talons jumped into action and started attacking the opposing side with their respective means.

Due to the combination of the Legion of the Chaotic Sun, the series of Totem Formations, and Cloeʼs healing and buffing abilities, the side of the Earners Mercenary Group had suffered serious damage.

Fortunately, they were strong enough to ward off most of the attacks of the blazing skeletons and the rest of the Empyrean Talons, reorganizing themselves.

But before they could even fully regain their footing, Shin had created another chaos, where he was constantly attacking any member of the mercenary group near him. There was no specific target in his mind as he would only attack those that could be attacked.

It was as if he were planning to challenge all the members of the opposing side all by himself.

This threw the members of the Earners Mercenary Group into complete chaos, not knowing how to deal with this crazy Battle God in the midst of their ranks.

Since the strongest members of their mercenary group in this competition needed to suppress the legion of blazing skeletons with their firepower, one of Flouree and Kael needed to focus most of their attention on that side of the battlefield.

Crimsonʼs Cannon Master might be able to deal with most of the forces given the destructive nature of his class, but it was not enough, especially when Cloe and Huahua were assisting the entire legion with their auxiliary spells.

The illusions that Lucid was creating were not effective on the blazing skeletons either, since they were already dead, did not possess a mind of their own. Illusions were useless against ʼdeadʼ creatures.

This was why one of them needed to assist the cannon master to avoid being swarmed by the legion from all sides.

But even after that, the other one needed to deal with the destructive spells that the Elemental Goddess was throwing at them.

Kael chose to fight Charlotte (Alice) in a magic showdown, where both majored in Elemental Magic of the Elves.

The battle between the two was beyond imagination, almost affecting the entirety of the battlefield.

The stray spells from their clashes exploded in different parts of the central hall, which Kael had taken advantage of to deal some blow against the legion of their opposition.

At the same time, another matchup continued between Aiming and Alucard. Neither side wants to admit defeat nor their inferiority to one another.

They continued to showcase their gunfighting techniques, trying to take each other down while also assisting on the entire battlefield.

Matilda was under the constant threat of Shin, who was responsible for this chaos, and Diablo, who was taking advantage of the chaos for his assassination.

If not for the combined efforts of Sylas and Lucid, who remained by her side and protected her, then she would have most likely been assassinated earlier.

On the other hand, Wang Zhou, who had already revealed most of his cards like the Ancient Suppressing Stele, was busy at warding off the advances of the legion and preventing them from reaching the backline.

Each side was already using their respective trump cards at this point.

Alice, Shin, and Diablo were already using their respective Elemental Spirit Possessions while Owen had fully activated his Divine Tattoo.

On the side of the Earners Mercenary Group, everyone had also activated their respective means, just like their Ascended Abilities and Extraordinary Powers enhanced by Ancient Methods.

This made the battle even more intense and chaotic.

In the meantime, in one of the VIP Rooms at the live stand, there was a pair of players watching all these with calm eyes.

”It looks like we have lost, Black Phoenix,” said the person, who was sitting on the sofa in a somewhat comfortable and haughty manner.

The woman standing behind him gave him a respectful bow, followed by an apology. ”It seems like leaving this job to Flouree is still too much for her, Boss. She is still too young after all.”

The man sneered when he heard those words before shaking his head. ”It is not like that.”

He then focused his gaze on the battle, particularly putting a lot of attention on the key members of the Empyrean Talons. ”We have just not expected to bump into these guys this early.”

He then focused more on Shin as he continued. ”Especially with such a monstrous guy.”

”Simba and Sigfried are already plenty enough. But adding this guy in the mix only makes things even more difficult,” he added with a sigh.

It was as if he had already expected their loss despite the stalemate on the battlefield.

He then dropped the subject as he asked. ”How about the job that I have asked you? Have they found the other inheritances of the four guardian beasts?”

Black Phoenix nodded her head as she answered. ”We have gotten the clue about the Black Tortoise Inheritance.”

”But it seems to be in the hands of a certain elderly NPC at the Alfheim Kingdom. It will not be easy for us to launch a large-scale operation in there.”

She then paused for a moment, hesitating. She then gritted her teeth and continued. ”As for the Yellow Qilin Inheritance, I am afraid that we have yet to find any clue about it.”

The man nodded his head before waving his head.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Not long after, a pair of miniature beasts appeared and flew around his hand. It was a vermilion bird and an azure dragon.

”Iʼve heard that one of the rewards of this seasonʼs United Cup is a clue about the White Tiger Inheritance, which is why I sent those guys. But it seems like our chances of winning it are quite slim, given that we are already losing the first matchup in the playoffs.”

”I originally wanted to win that item to prevent others from participating in the trial, but it looks like we have to adjust our plans for it,” he mumbled as he thought of something.

After a few moments, he suddenly said. ”Issue a Black Grade Command. Tell everyone with Elven Bloodline or Inheritances to drop whatever they are doing in the Divine Empire and shift their area of operation to the Alfheim Kingdom.”

”Eh!? But Boss-… isnʼt this a little too early to pull our forces from-…” Black Phoenix wanted to say something first, but the man quickly cut her off.

”Donʼt worry. It is not ʼearlyʼ as it seems,” he paused for a moment as he continued. ”A huge change is about to sweep the entire game. I am sure the other forces are also already preparing for it.”

”As for the Trial of the White Tiger. Let the Second Command participate in it himself. Tell him that he can bring the Black Grade Mercenaries if he wants them.”

”He has been too idle lately. It is better to let him handle these things so he can stretch that body of his, or else he will only gain more weight, even if itʼs just a game,” he added with a sigh.

Black Phoenix did not immediately respond to it, as she could read some hidden implications in those words.

She hesitated for a moment before finally asking. ”But what about Flouree?”

The man sneered as he heard that and answered. ”Didnʼt you say that she is still too young to handle this? Then go bring her to do missions and further train her foundations.”

”Eh!? But Boss! I am also busy with a lot of things,” she said dejectedly, half complaining.

Giving her a sidelong glance, the man sneered. ”What!? Do you also want to be fat like the Second Command?”

The expression on Black Phoenixʼs face immediately turned dark when she heard those words. She gritted her teeth as she responded. ”I may like sweets, but I am not fat, Boss!”

The man chuckled as he waved his hand. ”Anyway, just do what I said. The rest, do as you see fit. I know that you can handle them well.”

Black Phoenix nodded her head before remembering something. ”Ah! There is also another serious matter, Boss.”

They did not need to know what she was trying to say, as he was also fully aware of it. ”Is it about Zero? I know that he has been giving us a lot of trouble since that incident, but we canʼt do anything to quell his anger.”

”Letʼs tolerate him for now. He can throw as many tantrums as he wants for now, since we have too many things on our hands. Once we are done, then I will personally deal with him.”

He then waved his hand, signifying that he did not want to hear about this matter any longer. He then turned his gaze to the match and watched for a while before shaking his head.

He stood up and prepared to leave, seemingly knowing the outcome of the match. ”Letʼs go. There is no need to watch this any longer. Our side has already lost since the War God has dealt that blow in their minds.”

There was a disappointed look on his face as he left the VIP Room. But the target of this disappointment was still unclear.
