Child of Destiny

Chapter 1842: The Herald of Chaos (Part 5)

...…

Seeing that his opponent was reorganizing his forces once again, Chaotic Luck immediately responded and did the same for his forces.

Just like what Shin had repeatedly reminded him about battles between necromancers, summoners, and such, the main factors that would ultimately decide the match would be the quality of the forces, the tactics used during the battle, the battle formations that both sides possessed, and how fast each side respond to unexpected changes.

Shin had already done everything he could to build up a solid foundation for Chaotic Luck, so the latter would do everything he could not to disappoint this big brother.

With that in mind, Chaotic Luck waved his blazing scepter in the air, recalling the four skeletal beasts on the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

They seemed to have abandoned the bone dragon in the sky, not willing to engage with it at all.

The Legion of the Chaotic Sun had also responded, reorganizing themselves and forming four major divisions under the lead of these four beasts.

They had also formed a certain formation that linked their auras with one another, just like their opposition, channeling their powers into the bodies of the four skeletal beasts.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

With this, the power of each skeletal beast rose exponentially, releasing a powerful suppression that overwhelmed the opposing side to a certain degree.

However, the undead army of the opposing side was not to be defeated that easily either. They emitted a powerful aura that fought against the pressure of their opposition, producing an explosion at the point of the collision.

Boom!

At the same time, the bone dragon in the sky, which was now free after being ʼabandonedʼ, opened its mouth wide and released a powerful aura of its own.

At the same time, it launched an attack from the sky.

Now it was completely unchecked; it was free to do whatever it wanted and attack wherever it desired on the battlefield.

Roar!

Opening its bone wings wide, it conjured a huge group of bone spikes in the air and sent them toward Chaotic Luckʼs direction.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

However, before this hail of bone spikes from the sky poured down at him, a complicated summoning circle suddenly appeared before Chaotic Luck, followed by the appearance of a humanoid figure stepping out of it.

Whoosh!

Clank! Clank!

It looked like a skeleton knight donning a set of molten armor with a complicated design and mysterious runes swimming throughout its surface.

Whoosh!

At the same time, its right hand was dragging a huge, blazing sword behind it, drawing deep and melting trails on the ground.

Its teeth kept on chattering because its lower jaw was moving up and down while breathing out hot steam.

Its heat, which was a blazing skull, was also releasing a violent flame that danced alongside the wind as it moved forward.

This skeleton knight paused for a moment and raised its head, seeing the hail of bone spikes from the sky.

Roar!

Releasing a scary and monstrous roar, it held the blazing sword with both of its hands before swinging it wide and sending a blazing crescent in the sky that devoured and melted all the incoming bone spikes.

Swoosh!

Boom!

Amid the blazing rain created by the earlier scene, the skeleton knight raised its head proudly before releasing yet another loud and monstrous battle cry.

Roar!

This blazing skeleton knight was the new alternate version of Death Knight from Chaotic Luckʼs class. Given its might and power, it was clear that it was among the most elite undead type creatures out there, rivaling even some of the most mysterious and most powerful Death Knights that players had seen.

Chaotic Luck named this version of Death Knight the ʼInfernal Pilgrimʼ due to it possessing both to powers of a regular Death Knight and the blessings of the Brilliant Sun.

Roar!

Seeing that its attack was easily deflected by the Infernal Pilgrim, the Bone Dragon in the sky suddenly released an angry roar before diving down with powerful momentum.

Swoosh!

Given its overwhelming momentum, the destruction that it was about to unleash when it crashed into the ground would be very catastrophic.

Bang!

However, before the Bone Dragon could even reach the midway point of its flight, the Infernal Pilgrim had already launched itself into the air and dragged its blazing sword behind, leaving a blazing trail behind.

It was fearlessly facing the huge dragon despite the overwhelming difference in size.

Boom!

Not long after, the Infernal Pilgrim swung its sword at the incoming dragon, clashing against the latter and creating a powerful explosion upon impact.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Bang!

Not long after, the figure of the Infernal Pilgrim was sent back into the ground, landing on its feet at the forefront of the legionʼs formation.

The ground around it sank quite deep, forming a huge crater.

Boom!

At the same time, the huge body of the bone dragon could be seen rolling on the opposite side, where the undead army of Mandos was gathered, knocking multiple undead creatures in the process.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, despite the miserable appearance that it had, the bone dragon did not suffer that much damage and quickly picked itself up from the ground, standing powerful once again.

Roar!

Mandos frowned briefly when he saw that scene, but quickly regained his composure after realizing that his army did not suffer that much damage.

Most of them were knocked over, but none of them were crushed in the process, and quickly reorganized themselves after.

…

Standing at the farthest front of the legion, the Infernal Pilgrim stood proudly, placing both of its hands on the hilt of its sword that was stabbed into the ground before it.

A moment later, Chaotic Luck issued a command, urging the legion to start attacking.

Bang!

Pulling the blazing sword from the ground, the Infernal Pilgrim pointed forward and released a powerful battle cry before leading the entire legion to charge forward.

Roar! Roar!

Behind it, the two skeletal beasts lead their respective forces forward, flanking the Infernal Pilgrim from both sides and using a standard arrow formation during their charge.

Roar! Roar!

Meanwhile, the other two skeletal beasts separated themselves from the main force of the legion, leading a detachment respectively and circling the opposing side from two different directions.

From the look of it, they were planning to launch a flank attack from these two different points.

This was one of the basic variations of the standard arrow formation in the book of warfare, where the main force was attempting to pierce through the main formation of the opposition, and the two detachments launched an attack from opposing sides to trap the opposing forces.

Mandos was quite familiar with this formation, so he responded accordingly, adjusting the formation of his forces.

Since he had already lost the initiative due to the previous crash of the bone dragon, he was adapting to a more defensive formation as a standard response.

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, he had underestimated the might of the Infernal Pilgrim a little too much, as it cut through the ranks of his undead army and slaughtered most of his undead creatures standing at the frontline.

It cut through his formation like a sharp sword, throwing his army into disorder.

Boom!

Fortunately, he quickly responded and adjusted his formation into a more flexible one, allowing his forces to defend all three sides.

He naturally would not let the Infernal Pilgrim wreak havoc at the center of his army. To lock this powerful skeleton knight, Mandos sent an elite unit made of Drow-like undead.

He could not afford to let this Infernal Pilgrim clash against his Bone Dragon amid his force, since it would only deal more damage to his army.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The collisions between the Infernal Pilgrim and the elite unit of elven undead were so intense that they caused the surroundings to be affected.

Mandos did not care that much about this side of the battle since he wanted the Bone Dragon to pick itself up and fly in the sky once again, planning to launch an aerial attack from there.

Whoosh!

However, before it could even take flight, Mandos suddenly saw a huge magic circle appear at the center of his army, where the Bone Dragon was located.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

He then saw a bunch of blazing chains coming out of the magic circle and wrapping themselves around different parts of the bone dragon, pulling it into the ground and preventing it from going anywhere.

This was not the end, as Mandos also saw that the sky above was suddenly split open. Then the appearance of a blazing pillar suddenly followed and descended upon the Bone Dragon.

Boom!

Roar!

The Bone Dragon could not help but release a painful cry as it was bathed in the blazing pillar.

The other important factor that could decide the outcome of the battle between the two necromancers or summoners, other than their respective army, was their might and power.

Chaotic Luck had also engraved it into his mind, so he took the initiative to cast an advanced spell and launch such a devastating combo into the Bone Dragon.

He was showing everyone the true might of a Solaris Lich!

However, his opponent was not an ordinary player either. Dubbed as the ʼUndead Preacherʼ, Mandos also had a lot of cards up his sleeve.

”Finally making a proper move, huh!?” he mumbled before waving his bone staff.

Swoosh!

Right at the same instant, a powerful dark aura suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield, enhancing the overall capabilities of his undead army.

Those who had fallen in the battle had also started rising one after another, resurrecting from the dead once again.

On top of this, Mandos had also unleashed a Tier 3 Domain Skill, the Boneyard Elemental Domain, to further enhance the power of his army.

Boom!

His army, which was slowly losing ground, was immediately resurrected and started fighting back with an even fiercer offensive.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In response to this, Chaotic Luck had also started casting one spell after another, planning to overwhelm the opposing side with his firepower.

At the same time, he was also scattering some ʼseedsʼ to the formation of his opponent, planning to reestablish the Pathogen Battle Formation once again.

While he was busy with all these, he failed to notice that there was a certain unit of undead creatures that had successfully made their way behind him and were cunningly setting up an ambush.

The air of death started looming in the air, especially when the live audience and online viewers had noticed this chance.

From their perspective, Chaotic Luck was in deep trouble. It was impossible for him to notice such a meticulously laid trap behind him.
