Child of Destiny

Chapter 1885: Turning the Situation Around (Part 2)

...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

Seeing that the legion of undead shifted their focus away from her and directed it toward the central skyscraper instead, Sheryl finally dropped her initial plan of focusing on Chaotic Luck and slightly adjusted her focus.

She started focusing on the legion of undead, taking most of them as much as she could while waiting for her other arrangements to take place.

As the person who had chosen this place, she naturally had more preparations for this round, expecting that her opponent would most likely target the skyscraper rather than focusing on her.

However, this place was supposed to deal with Akailu, whom she was expecting to face. After all, it was out of their expectation that Keir would lose the first round of the Group Battle, especially when he was against Chaotic Luck.

This rookie in the professional stage was supposed to be the easiest to deal with among all the members of Empyrean Talons when it came to one-on-one battles.

But it was a huge surprise for everyone that this guy won again and again despite all the odds supposed to be against him.

It might be miraculous, but Chaotic Luck had truly cemented his name within the virtual world, all these victories that he had just achieved up until now, especially when all his opponents had never been easy to deal with.

He might still be far from becoming a true Godlike Player or quite a strong Maverick God, but he was already at the level of the Peak Titled Rankers or the most elite Maverick Rankers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While taking down as many undead as she could, Sheryl was keeping an eye on Chaotic Luck, who was distancing himself away from her as much as possible while also taking advantage of the surrounding ruins to take cover.

Boom!

While running, one of the buildings that Chaotic Luck was hiding in suddenly exploded, almost burying him in the process.

If not for the fast reactions of the Death Knight that slashed the crumbling building, then he would have most likely been buried by the rubble already.

Boom! Boom!

While he was picking himself up, another series of barrages suddenly rang from a distance, reverberating across the entire map.

Turning his gaze toward the source of those sounds, he saw that there were a bunch of mechanical cannons set up on top of different tall buildings, aiming in his direction and continuously firing at him.

Boom! Boom!

The energy beams left bright lights in the air while heading in his direction, bombarding him with a relentless barrage of attacks.

Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Death Knight swiftly responded, blocking all those attacks with powerful slashes, producing a series of strong shockwaves in every direction.

Chaotic Luck immediately realized that he was currently in the middle of an offensive formation that those mechanical cannons had created, bombarding him with even stronger attacks every passing second.

With a rough estimate, Chaotic Luck understood that he would most likely be caught by them if he let them continue with their barrage of attacks.

Given the rate of their attacks, Chaotic Luck could tell that his Death Knight would slowly get overwhelmed and steadily get swept by the barrage sooner or later.

Realizing his predicament, Chaotic Luck knew that he needed to do something to escape his current predicament. But he could not think of any immediate solution to the current situation.

If he tried to divide his forces and send some of his undead to tear down those cannons, he would only be thinning his forces and giving his opponent enough space to find gaps that she could take advantage of.

With the current situation on the field, Chaotic Luck had no choice but to take a gamble once again.

Since he could not do anything to escape the current situation, all he could do was to go all out in trying to tear down the skyscraper that Sheryl was on and drag her from that high place.

This would be a battle of speed, deciding who could be the first to get caught by their opponent’s arrangements.

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After dozens of seconds, a sudden change finally appeared on the battlefield.

Boom!

The skyscraper that Sheryl occupied finally lost its foundation, slowly crumbling under the relentless assault of the undead legion.

This was then followed by an even more intense attack from the undead legion, which swiftly pounced at her while she was jumping from one platform to another to slow down her fall.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Seeing the flock of flying skeletons swarming at her from every direction, Sheryl swiftly adjusted her strategy.

With a wave of her hand, the mechanical torrents that were accompanying her on the rooftop of the skyscraper earlier suddenly flew in her direction.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

They met and entangled with one another midair, fusing and arranging themselves into a whole new mechanical weapon. Some of them turned into a flying torrent while the others turned into a jetpack that carried her in the air to avoid falling onto the ground.

With these two mechanical gadgets, she could only focus on the pursuit of the flying skeletons, making it easier for her to continue her attacks.

Even if staying in the air would consume a lot of energy for her mechanical tools, this was no different from her previous situation.

She could continue her assault on Chaotic Luck alongside her mechanical cannons scattered everywhere in the map.

She could also free herself from thinking about those undead roaming on the ground, which could also give her serious problems later.

It was better to play it safe rather than take the risk like the others who had fought Chaotic Luck before.

Even if this little rookie continued to improve and evolve throughout the competition, he was still far from matching those with great experience within the competitive circle. He would still have to commit some rookie mistakes from time to time, causing him to lose all his advantages during the battle.

The other weakness that Chaotic Luck possessed was its lack of highly advanced elite undead, which were supposed to be the main trump cards of necromancer class players.

It was mostly because of Chaotic Luck’s attributes, which greatly restricted his great powers. The Sun Attribute of his Solaris Lich Class somehow suppressed the creation of even stronger undead elites, which would match his style and legion.

This greatly affected his combat prowess as a special class from the Necromancer Profession.

”Wait!” It was at this moment that Sheryl realized something.

...

From the spectator’s stand, a certain necromancer could not help but voice his thoughts, somewhat attracting the attention of those around him. ”If his Sun Attribute is preventing him from gaining a more suitable and much stronger quality of elite undead, then what would happen if he lost that very restriction by taking the initiative of turning off that power?”

Not only this person, but even Mandos, the Undead Preacher, also had a similar thought while watching the match. ”It seems she has also committed a rookie mistake herself.”

”Chaotic Luck’s current legion does not have that attribute right now,” added Amor while pouting her lips.

”You can’t blame her either since even Chaotic Luck himself seems to have forgotten about this himself,” added Odium while suppressing his laughter.

...

Back on the battlefield, Chaotic Luck had just realized this as well, making him try an attempt. An attempt to summon a more advanced undead to assist him battle.

Whoosh!

With a series of necromantic chants, Chaotic Luck used one of the summoning spells under his spells, calling out a powerful undead elite from another dimension.

Boom!

Not long after, a huge magic circle appeared behind him, followed by the appearance of a skeleton undead walking out of it.

This undead was wearing a dark robe that covered almost all its body while holding a bone scepter in one hand and a dark grimoire in the other.

He had summoned a Lich!

He did not think that much after summoning this elite undead. He swiftly gave an order to it, letting the Lich move on its own.

The Lich did not even question his command and obeyed the orders truthfully. With a wave of its bony hands, it summoned another batch of the legion before ordering them to start moving.

Some of them went straight to the locations of the mechanical cannons scattered in different places, while the others focused on catching Sheryl, who was currently being besieged by multiple flying skeletons.

A single glance was more than enough to tell everyone how powerful this Lich was, given the powers that it had just shown, particularly with the rich and eerie dark miasma constantly coming out from its body.

Moreover, it was also clear that it was highly intelligent, signifying a very high Battle AI. The battle formations that it was employing alone were more than enough proof to convince everyone that this Lich was no worse than the Hell Pilgrim that Chaotic Luck usually summoned during his matches.

The Death Knight on his side was equally strong, but it was still lacking something when compared to the might of that Hell Pilgrim.

It was also possible that this Death Knight was not showcasing its real battle prowess yet since it had to stay on Chaotic Luck’s side and protect him. However, the current performance it was showing everyone was more than enough to consider it a stronger elite compared to the other elite undead.

Adding the Lich that Chaotic Luck had just summoned, the tides of this match had finally started turning away from Sheryl, favoring his side instead.
