Child of Destiny

Chapter 1879: A Strange Charm (Part 1)

...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions dominated the entire battlefield as Chaotic Luck and his Legion of Chaotic Sun clashed against Keir and his army of shadow creatures.

The two were also showing their respective strengths, particularly their style of battle.

Keir was a Dark Mage as his main class, so his style greatly focused on magic spells rather than his army of shadow creatures. He was also not that proficient in battle formations, which was why he just let his shadow creatures attack randomly and relentlessly like a monster horde.

With this, he could just focus on casting his spells and sending them toward the opposing forces. He was taking advantage of his large-scale spells to overwhelm his opponent and suppress the opposing legion.

Because he was not using any kind of formation, Chaotic Luck could also not use his main formation, the Pathogen Formation that he had learned from Shin. After all, this formation relied on countering the battle formations of his opponents by planting a ʼvirusʼ or something on the opposing forces and slowly destroying them from within.

Of course, Chaotic Luck still had quite a few strategic formations that he had mastered from Shin, but they were not as super effective as the Pathogen Formation, which was greatly augmented by his insane luck.

This somewhat weakened the strength of Chaotic Luck.

But that did not mean that he could not do anything about it – or more precisely, his luck.

The overwhelming horde of shadow creatures might have to deal with, especially when they were attacking relentlessly and crazily.

However, the Legion of Chaotic Sun was not to be trifled with. They had their strengths that could greatly suppress the armies of a similar kind.

Even if the shadow creatures were currently being strengthened by the environment within this map, almost negating most of the advantages that the Legion of the Chaotic Sun possessed, the latter was still able to find a way to gain another form of advantage.

Chaotic Luck used other formations that he had learned from Shin, battling the relentless horde on equal ground.

At the same time, Chaotic Luck himself started casting a series of spells, matching Keir and each of his moves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The collisions between the two sides continued to escalate the more the battle progressed, making the situation even more chaotic.

BOOM!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the same time, there was also another confrontation between the strongest summoned creatures of the two sides.

Chaotic Luckʼs version of Death Knight, the Hell Pilgrim, was holding its own against the two most elite shadow creatures of the opposing side, the Darkness Beast and Devouring Whale.

Compared to the gigantic bodies of these two colossal shadow creatures, the Hell Pilgrim looked quite pathetic and well. The overwhelming difference in size alone made it look like a bug that could easily be smashed into pieces by a casual hit from the two colossi.

But regardless of its size, it was still able to hold its ground against the two colossi.

The might of each of its swings was strong enough to repel most of the attacks from the two, while the powers of the sun that the Hell Pilgrim wielded greatly countered the corrosive and eerie powers of darkness that the two colossal shadow creatures possessed.

Boom! Boom!

Other than that, it also showcased its powerful combat prowess, particularly in the area of swordsmanship.

This swordsmanship might have any top-notch techniques that those top players possessed, even looking like the most basic movements of the sword. However, it was honed to the greatest level, making its level reach those unparalleled techniques.

Augmented by the overwhelming element that came from the Sun itself, this swordsmanship that the Hell Pilgrim reached a whole other level.

It relied on this swordsmanship alone to match the two colossuses, pinning them in place and preventing them from bother Chaotic Luck.

The Devouring Whale might have the ability to dive in the shadows, treating it as some sort of deep water. But the Powers of the Sun that the Chaotic Luck possessed somewhat countered this ability right after he released its full potential.

He had even summoned a huge ball of sphere above them to illuminate the entire place. This blazing sphere hovered in the sky like a miniature sun, making it look like day on the battlefield.

…

Keir leaped into the air, escaping from the ambush from skeleton assassins and crawlers that managed to sneak through the horde of shadow creatures.

He then raised his staff and pointed at the sky, where a flock of flying skeleton beasts was heading his way.

ʼServant of Darkness Spell (Tier 2): Abyssal Serpentʼ

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Not long after, a swarm of shadow snakes suddenly shot out from the tip of his staff and wrapped themselves around the flying skeleton beasts and dragging them down.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Keir did not stop here as he was already chanting a series of mantras for his other spell.

A moment later, he suddenly pointed forward with his free hand, summoning a huge magic circle filled with dark and eerie runes.

It briefly released a dark flash of light before firing a huge and powerful beam of black light that was filled with darkness and corrosiveness.

ʼServant of Darkness Spell (Tier 2): Corrosion Beamʼ

Swoosh!

Everything that this beam of darkness passed through turned into dust that slowly scattered in the air. Even with the powers of the sun protecting them, the blazing skeletons were still killed in an instant.

Whoosh!

This beam of darkness did not stop and continued flying straight to Chaotic Luck, who was standing in the middle of his legion.

In response, Chaotic Luck swiftly raised his staff and summoned a towering wall of fire that blocked the advance of the beam of darkness.

ʼSolaris Lich Spell (Tier 2): Veil of Rising Sunʼ

Swoosh!

Boom!

The two opposing forces clashed against one another, sending a series of overlapping ripples in the air.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

During the collision of powers, Chaotic Luck ordered another batch of skeleton assassins hiding around Keir to finally make their move.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Clank! Clank! Clank!

This batch of skeleton assassins jumped out from the ground and made a strong pulling motion, dragging out long, blazing chains from the ground.

These blazing chains surrounded Keir before swiftly closing in, trying to wrap themselves around him.

”This again?” Keir sneered when he saw the move before swiftly responding. He twirled his staff and made a series of swinging movements that sent dark gusts of wind, repelling the enclosing chains of fire.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the same time, his shadow creatures around swiftly pounced at the skeleton assassins, grabbing and biting their bodies before pinning them to the ground.

The ambush might have failed, but Chaotic Luck did not get discouraged. This was just a setup for his next attack, which he had already prepared earlier.

”Sun!” chanted Chaotic Luck while pointing at the miniature sun that was hovering above the battlefield.

Swoosh!

In response, a pillar of blazing light suddenly shot out from the miniature sun, targeting Keir, who was still in the middle of reorganizing himself.

Whoosh!

Sensing the intense heat coming from above, Keir swiftly turned his head to the sky and immediately saw the descending pillar of fire heading his direction.

He was about to raise his staff to use the ʼShadow Escapeʼ spell to get away from this place as soon as possible when he suddenly felt that the ground underneath him tremble.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Another batch of blazing chains suddenly came out from the ground and tried to wrap themselves around him once again.

This time, it was successful due to Keir catching a bit off guard.

But this did not mean that Keir would just let himself get caught that easily. He was already prepared for something like this to happen the moment he saw the miniature sun in the sky.

”Contract!” he chanted, causing the surrounding shadow creatures to collapse one after another.

Their bodies then turned into some sort of dark and sticky liquid that swiftly rushed toward him and formed a huge dome of darkness that housed him from the descending pillar of fire.

This did not even end there as he swiftly cast another spell to strengthen the dome of darkness further, transforming it into a huge shadow snake that coiled itself around while withstanding the power of the blazing pillar.

ʼServant of Darkness Spell (Tier 2): Shadow Coilʼ

BOOM!

The impact was so strong that it blasted the surrounding skeleton soldiers away and melted the nearby shadow creatures.

The residual chaotic energy from the explosion had yet to dissipate when both Keir and Chaotic Luck swiftly continued.

Chaotic Luck issued a series of commands, controlling the formation of his legion, while Keir wrapped himself with shadow as some sort of army while also summoning another batch of shadow creatures in the process.

While the Legion of Chaotic Sun and the army of shadow creatures clashed against one another, Chaotic Luck and Keir exchanged a series of spells, making the situation even more chaotic.

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

BOOM!

The two even started casting a few more advanced spells that even changed the terrain of the battle.

They continued to release their full powers, undeterred by the next match that would follow immediately after this one.

As a rookie in the competitive stage, Chaotic Luck might have forgotten about it, but Keir did not care whether it was the reason or not. All he cared about at this moment was to do everything he could and pour all he had into this match.

Unknowingly, he started to enjoy the match. This was the first in a long time.

”Hah! Thatʼs right! This is our final match in this tournament anyway. Show me what youʼve got, Chaotic Luck!” he shouted as he could not hide the excited look on his face.
