Child of Destiny

Chapter 59: Being on a Three Different Battlefields, Simultaneously

.....

ROAR!!!

Whitie release a deafening roar as he charge towards the bunch of monsters that are coming its way. And when it is 5-meters away from the incoming group, Whitie immediately pounce at the leading monster while opening its jaw widely.

Grrr!!!

Whitie used its front paws to smashed the corrupted monsterʼs shoulder while biting off the half of the laterʼs neck, and killing it in the process. Then, Whitie jumped to its left side, dodging a bunch of corrupted attacks before pouncing again on its next target.

Whitieʼs entire series of movements are fast, swift, and precise. Even Shin who is following closely behind is gotten off guard. ʼSh*t! I know that this guy is super OP, but I didnʼt expect that it will be this powerful. Insta-Killing a monster with at least 20 Levels more than him?ʼ

After brushing off that idea, Shin immediately channeled the power of the moon on his sheathed sword before pulling it out from its sheath and swinging it to the right. At the same time, a crescent shape chilling sword Qi was sent forward, flying straight to the monster on his front.

Shing!

ʼClass Fighting Style: Lunar Flashʼ

Swoosh!

Most of the monsters that have been devoured by that sword Qi was killed on the spot and started to fall one by one, while the slightly stronger monsters survived with critical healths and greatly slowed movement speeds.

After that, Shin move his right shoulder backwards together while slightly pulling the [Yamato] back. Then, he thrust it forward while rushing towards those surviving monsters.

ʼExtra Skill: Sword Rushʼ

Swoosh!

-75 431

-3 672(Burned Damage)

-75 553

-3 778(Burned Damage)

...

...

...

Damages pop-up on the heads of the monsters on the group as Shin pass through them and finally ending their lives. The range of the ʼSword Rushʼ skill is ten meters so Shin went a little deeper on the enemy ranks after killing off the previous bunch of monsters.

And during the end of his dash, Shin simultaneously turned his body around while charging a fiery energy on the sword.

Then, he swing the blazing [Yamato] leftwards, sending a burning sword wave at the backs of those monsters that are about to turn their bodies around.

ʼExtra Skill: Flame Burstʼ

-76 483

-490(Blazing Damage)

-3 824(Burned Damage)

-75 789

-490(Blazing Damage)

-3 789(Burned Damage)

...

...

...

Those monsters were engulfed by the blazing sword Qi creating another bunch of damages.

After throwing ʼFlame Burstʼ, Shin immediately sheath his sword in a smooth and swift motion, creating a clicking sound. He then jumped to his right, while doing a side roll in the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A bunch of attacks landed on his previous location after he did that maneuver. Midair, Shin is already channeling the power of the sun on his sheathed sword, so the moment his feet landed on the ground, he swiftly pulled the sword out from being sheath and swing it rightwards, sending a crescent shape blazing sword Qi on his front.

Shing!

ʼClass Fighting Style: Solar Flareʼ

Swoosh!

The monsters on Shinʼs front were devour by that blazing sword Qi, killing them in the process. While those monsters that manage to survived were greeted by another crescent shape sword Qi, but this time it is bluish-white in color and release a chilling glow.

ʼSlayer Skill: Half-Moon Slashʼ

Swoosh!

-76 546(Slowed)

-76 443(Slowed)

-77 100(Slowed)

...

...

...

The monsters in front of Shin are either dead because of the previous attack or lifelessly frozen because of the sudden change of the the temperature. This is one of the tricks that Shin discovered before while previously training on this place.

If he use a high temperature skill after using a cold skill then it will triggered an explosion with bonus damage together with a formation of some steam fog. But if he use a skill with a chilling effect after using high temperature skill, then the targets that are going to get hit are going to become frozen like some ice sculptures. It is just some kind of basic science application.

”Tsk, this feeling is somewhat addicting. Being able to move my body comfortably? I guess I really need to buy my own ʼGaming Podʼ.” muttered Shin as he dodge some attacks from the monsters. He is pretty much familiar with their movements already so he donʼt need his clones to help him.

And speaking of Clones, because of the effects of the ʼGaming Podʼ, the sudden increase of Shinʼs perception on his surroundings, he is able to control the Sun and Moon Clones more accurately now. He can now move them like they are his main body.

On the other side of the battle, Whitie is too fast for the Corrupted Monsters to locked on. The white tiger is able to dodge the monsters attacks most of the time.

And every time a monster is about to succeed on hitting Whitie, Blackie the black tiger is always there to jumped in the right moment. Every time Blackie revealed itself, a corrupted monster is going to lose its life.

Shin canʼt directly control his pets, unlike his clones, they are ʼliving creaturesʼ inside the game after all. But even though that is the case, those two tigers are naturally born hunters. They are born to hunt and to battle, so they have a very high battle awareness.

And together with Shinʼs accurate order from time to time. Those two become some sort of killing machines. For every order that were given to them, those two tigers are able to execute it perfectly.

Shin canʼt help but clicked his tounge as he take some quick look at those two. ”Tsk, those two sure are scary. Iʼm sure that their AI(Artificial Intelligence) are very high, especially in battle. Maybe I should try training them, after Iʼm done with this stup*d Main Quest.”

To make the story short, Shin is like fighting in three different battlefields simultaneously. If some other players heard about to this, then they are not going to believe it no matter what. A player who just recently joined the game one to two weeks ago, fighting this way? Whatʼs more, this is his first time playing a VR game. To be exact, «Destinyʼs Fate» is his first VR game.

Practically, that was pretty much impossible.

But Shin doesnʼt care about that. He muttered to himself while getting ready to pick up the pace. ”OK, Iʼm done with the warm-ups. Now, let us speed things up.”

He lowered his center of gravity and crouches down, while holding the sheath of his sword with his left hand, and the hilt was being held by his other hand. He then kicked the ground backwards, sending himself towards the monsters on his front. At the same time, he unsheathe the [Yamato] and swing it in rightwards direction.

Swoosh!

Shing!

During the process of the stride, Shinʼs body shines with a bluish-white glow, before it completely transformed into a stick of light that pierce through the bodies of his enemies.

ʼClass Fighting Style: Moonlight Splitterʼ

Shin left a bunch of corpses behind but there are still some Lord Class monsters that manage to survived that attack.

But unfortunately for them, Shin immediately rotated his body at the end of the stride and face his body on those monsters. Then, he swing the glowing [Yamato] five times in the air, sending five vertical crescent sword Qiʼs forward. Each of those sword Qiʼs are releasing a chilling glow.

ʼSlayer Skill: Crescent Cleaveʼ

-87 024(Slowed)

-85 987(Slowed)

-86 999(Slowed)

...

...

...

That sword wave swept out and killed off the surviving monsters, turning them into a bunch of experience points for Shin.

After that, Shin immediately jumped to his front while doing a spinning front-flip in the air, dodging another series of attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

During his decent, a corrupted monster jumped in the air and fly straight to Shin. Unfortunately for it, the later manage to land on the ground before it reach its target. So the moment that monster descended at Shin, what greeted it is a thrusting sword that is going straight to its chest.

Swoosh!

ʼExtra Skill: Heart Seekerʼ

-73 431

-3 671(Burned Damage)

The [Yamato] pierce through the corrupted monsterʼs chest and hit its heart, so it triggers the bonus effect of the ʼHeart Seekerʼ Skill, stunning it for two seconds.

ʼBonus Effectʼ

-24 477(Bonus Damage)(Stunned)

Without further ado, Shin immediately pulled the sword backwards before stabbing it forward once again. But this time, Shin is throwing six consecutive stabs.

ʼExtra Skill: Multiple Stabsʼ

-12 239

-612(Burned Damage)

-12 239

-612(Burned Damage)

-12 239

-612(Burned Damage)

-12 239

-612(Burned Damage)

-12 239

-612(Burned Damage)

-12 239

-612(Burned Damage)

During the last stab, the sheath of the [Yamato] turned into a semitransparent pure white longsword.

ʼLegacy Skill: Mondiʼs Style: Meteor Formʼ

Then, the sheath on Shinʼs left hand which is currently in the form of [Snowstorm Edge] suddenly become ablaze with a wild yellow-orange fire, while it is being held in a reverse-grip manner.

At the same time, Shin swiftly pulled the [Yamato] out from the corrupted monsterʼs chest and spins his body around in a clockwise direction. Simultaneously, Shin is swinging his left arm in an upward-diagonal motion, and slashing the corrupted monsterʼs throat with the blazing [Snowstorm Edge].

ʼSlayer Skill: Solar Cutʼ

-75 211

-3 761(Burned Damage)(Killed)

Through Shinʼs ʼSensing Circleʼ, he can already felt that he is currently being surrounded by the corrupted monsters in all directions after killing off that monster. But he still didnʼt get any kind of pressured on it.

He calmly flipped the [Snowstorm Edge] and hold it in a forehand grip, while exhaling a bunch of air and cross his swords in front of his chest. After a slight pause, both of Shinʼs arms suddenly become blurred as he swing it left and right.

ʼCombat Technique: Parrying Stanceʼ

Pa! Bang!

Pak! Boom!

Ta! Ta!

Bang! Boom!

Shin is using the surface of his swords to redirect the attacks that are coming his way. Most of the time, he is redirecting those attacks to collide with each other, while few of those attacks are being guided towards the monsters that are planning to attack him from the back. Shin is also throwing some counterattacks from time to time, when he get some change.

.....

After some time, Shin and his gang finally swept all the corrupted monsters in this area. But even though the number of monsters increase, the EXP that Shin had gained is still not optimistic, he only manage to increase his experience pool by 5% at most.

”*Sigh~*, Leveling Up sure is hard. The first time that I get in here, I thought this place is an ʼEXP Heavenʼ, but I guess I already squeeze this place dry and not enough for me anymore. Looks like it is the time to kill off the current Boss of this place.” muttered Shin as he took some rest.

After recovering some Health and Mana together with his clones and pets, Shin finally advance towards the innermost part of the Corrupted Ruins while clearing up some monster on the road.

And when Shin arrived at his destination, he is taken aback by what he saw. He started rubbing his eyes, to see if he is not seeing things. And when he confirmed that is is not that case, he canʼt help himself but say. ”H*ly M*ther M*lly!!! Are you kidding me!!!???”
