Child of Destiny

Chapter 1839: The Herald of Chaos (Part 2)

...

Chaotic Luck was still feeling a little nervous, especially after appearing on the field. Even if he knew that he had somewhat countered his opponent, who was from the Necromancer Class, he still knew that he could not afford to be too confident and underestimate his opponent.

After all, the other party was still a member of one of the strongest Adventurer Teams of the game.

Moreover, given the announcement of the system, he also knew that the opposing side was someone with a solid reputation.

He was still a Necromancer, who also admired those gods of this class. Just like how he admired Immortal before, he also knew the rivals of this Lich God from the previous games.

Mandos was one of the fiercest competitors of Immortal for the title Lich God of that time. Even if he was still defeated in the end, he continued to persevere and stuck to his passion for as long as he could.

There were rumors that this guy had changed his profession of choice when he started this game, but who would have thought that he still stuck to it and still became one of the strongest necromancers of the game?

Chaotic Luck was not sure which specification Mandos had chosen while walking the path of necromancy. But since all necromancers shared the same major in this profession, it was not that hard to guess the strength of the opposing party.

What he was worried about was the tactics of the opposing side, which was said to be one of his strongest points when he was still fighting Immortal.

If he could fight Immortal in terms of battle strategies and cunning tactics, then this person would most likely be on the same level at the very least.

Immortal was dubbed as one of the most cunning strategists within the game, ranking quite high in the Godly Strategist Rankings. If Mandos could match him, then his tactics shouldnʼt be that bad.

Fortunately, Shin emphasized his training on battle strategies and combat tactics, so Chaotic Luck was quite confident in himself.

All he had to do was stick to the plan and continue what he did best, just like how he performed during training.

…

In the meantime, Mandos could not help but furrow his brows a little after seeing his opponent. ”He appeared just like what the Commander had expected.”

”Tsk! But still, it will not be easy for me to defeat this guy, given his strange ʼpowersʼ.” The Godʼs Paradise had scrimmaged with the Empyrean Talons before, so the team was quite familiar with the opposing side.

From all the recordings that they had, Mandos paid quite a lot of attention to this person since they were from the same profession.

Moreover, Lia and Ashura had repeatedly warned him about this guy before due to his unpredictability. The two were not sure how to judge the abilities of this strange necromancer, but they always had an odd feeling about the latter.

Chaotic Luck was such an oddity that they could never comprehend, no matter how they tried to understand him.

After watching the other battle videos of Chaotic Luck, Mandos was sure that there was something ʼwrongʼ with this guy that no other people could comprehend.

But what made Mandos take Chaotic Luck even more seriously was his noticeable growth throughout his battles.

He was constantly improving and showing some rapid growth during his entire journey, which was quite impressive.

He was not sure if it was because Chaotic Luck was always around monsters like the Battled God, the Dragon God, and the War God.

After all, being around these monstrous individuals almost every day was more than enough to influence other people over time.

Other than that, almost everyone was also aware of the strangeness of Chaotic Luckʼs clash, particularly his Legion of Chaotic Sun.

It was common knowledge that Necromancers and their summons were weak against scared elements and such. They could also get hurt once a priest tried to heal them or their summoned undead.

This was one of the main weaknesses of the Undead, particularly those with the Necromancer Class.

However, Chaotic Luck did not have these restrictions, which made him a ʼbrokenʼ character within the game.

A necromancer without such weakness was truly unfair. Even Immortal, the Lich God, did not have such a ʼprivilegeʼ or ʼimmunityʼ over holy magic or sacred elements.

If it were any other Necromancers, then they would most likely lose to this guy, get crushed even, especially with the Power of the Sun that Chaotic Luck and his legion possessed.

”Fortunately, I am not a simple necromancer either,” he mumbled as he adjusted his mind.

His race was the standard Fallen Elf, which was available at the start of the game when the players chose the Undead Race as their starting race.

He liked this race since it had most of the special perks from both the Elven Race and the Undead Race.

He might not have the unlimited stamina of the Undead Race since the branch that he had taken, the Fallen Races, was still a little different from the rest of the race. However, he at least possessed some of the Elemental Gifts that the Elven Race possessed and combined them with the dark powers of the Undead Race.

Undead Race was not majorly related to Corrupted Cults or Demonic Churches, but most of them chose to walk that deviated path since their powers were closely related to them.

This was the main reason why most of the players with Undead Race were ʼdeportedʼ to Forsaken Islets right after arriving at the Awakened Continent.

It was to avoid being infiltrated by those people from the Evil Factions.

Of course, there were still some NPC organizations from the Evil Faction situated in different parts of the Divine Empire, just like the Evil Fox Tribe near the Divinity City.

As one of the Undead Players who stuck on the ʼlightʼ path, Mandos researched his class and race with a different perspective.

When he got promoted to Tier 3 Class and became an Epic Fallen Elf, he quickly volunteered to head to the Awakened Continent. He separated himself from the rest of Godʼs Paradise, who were mainly operating at the Frozen Kingdom at that time, for his research.

At this point, his class had also evolved into a special type of Necromancer. The Elven Elemental Magic influenced his necromancy, so his undead monsters were also quite different from normal people.

He combined his knowledge with the elemental magic of elves with necromancy, infusing such elemental powers into the bodies of his undead monster, producing a whole different undead creature.

After a slight preparation, Mandos started summoning his undead monsters one after another. ”Come forth, children of darkness!”

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Immediately after, undead creatures started crawling out of the ground one after another and swiftly filled the area around him.

These undead creatures were not your average undead, particularly when they were compared to the regular army of other necromancers.

Instead of skeletons, zombies, and ghouls, these undead creatures seemed to be more ʼhumanʼ since they retained most of their features and did not have any rotting parts on their bodies.

Aside from their hollow-like eyes that were filled with darkness, their entire body was also filled with elven runes. These runes formed a mysterious formation that filled the bodies of these undead creatures with special mana of different elements.

However, instead of regular elemental mana, these elements leaned more to the darker side. They seemed to be a polluted mana, but not corrupted or demonic.

Boom!

Right after these undead creatures appeared on the field, they filled the entire map with their dark and overwhelming presence.

They were showcasing their powerful might, trying to suppress the opposing side with such powers alone.

Seeing this, Chaotic Luck accepted the ʼchallengeʼ and raised his scepter high in the air to summon his famous Legion of Chaotic Sun. ”Reveal yourselves, dwellers of the Sun!”

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Right after he said those words, the ground underneath him trembled violently, followed by the appearance of the skeleton creatures with blazing heads crawling out of it.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

These blazing skeletons quickly organized themselves and swiftly divided into different groups and ranks.

The skeleton soldiers lined themselves up at the front of the formation, followed by the skeleton mages behind them and the skeleton archers standing at the farthest rear.

It was just the standard battle formation, but everyone could feel the overwhelming pressure coming from this legion of undead, even with the isolation barrier that separated them from the battlefield.

The other half of the map was also illuminated by the bright light due to the blazing flames of this legion, dividing the map into two distinct parts.

One was bright where the Legion of the Chaotic Sun stood, while the other was filled with dark miasma released by the opposing army of undead creatures.

The match had just started with such a simple standoff, but all the live audience and online viewers could already sense the intense competition between the two sides.

A battle of two armies would be a different taste for everyone, making them quite excited, even though they had their respective biased opinions.
