Child of Destiny

Chapter 320: A Summonersʼ Battle

...…

To make the tournament fair for everyone, players with Transcendent Races were forbidden to summon their Elemental Companions since those special beings were too powerful against the other summons.

Of course, players with Transcendent Races were still able to use their Elemental Spirit Possession if they wanted to; it was going to be too unfair for them if they couldnʼt use either one of the advantages of their races and classes.

Having this in mind, Shin suddenly wore a huge grin with his lips before muttering to himself. ”Fortunately, I am still not going to lose in terms of numbers even if I canʼt summon my Reaperʼs Retainers.”

Then Shin immediately released the Moon and Sun clones right after muttering those words.

ʼEquipment Skill (Utility Item: Nephilimʼs Gemini Mask): Spirit Releaseʼ

At the same time, Shin also summoned one of his pets for this battle. He already planned to spit his pets for each of personas so he was naturally going to summon the pet he assigned for his ʼNameless Swordsmanʼ identity, which was the white tiger Whitie.

Roar!

Whitie immediately released a powerful roar to show his excitement for the battle the moment he appeared in the battlefield. And right after that, he immediately threw a chilling glare at the three monster pets standing a few meters away from him before circling around Shin and the twin clones.

When those two clones stood beside Shin, Akailu suddenly got an intense threat coming for his opponentʼs group. And the moment he saw the huge white tiger that Shin had summoned, the expression on his face showed his excitement for the upcoming battle. ”Now, this is going to be an interesting fight.”

Then the atmosphere that was surrounding the whole forest suddenly became deadly as these two participants who were itching for a fight, started to wait for the arena clock to hit zero.

...

At the same time, all of the spectators that were currently watching this matchup, suddenly rejoiced the moment they saw Shin summoned his clones.

This was one of the reasons how the ʼNameless Swordsmanʼ became known in the Saint Heaven Kingdom. And summoning them couldnʼt only mean a single thing; Shin was at least taking this fight a little seriously this time.

As for what they would get from Shin by acting like this? Of course, it was the intense battle that was about to come. If they were going to witness a battle that could become a feast to their eyes, then they would feel that it was worth spending that kind of money; especially for the players that paid for the spots on the audience stand.

Aside from these guys, there was actually another person who was rejoicing the most the moment Shin decided to do this kind of approach in this particular battle.

When Miss Bunny saw the pair of clones beside Shin together with the appearance of the huge white tiger, she couldnʼt help but clenched her hand into a fist while muttering to herself. ���At last! He is finally taking someone seriously in this tournament!ʼ

Last night, she really got an earful of scolding due to the ʼdisasterʼ that happened in Shinʼs previous fight. And if ever this battle became yet another ʼdisasterʼ, she didnʼt know if she could still maintain her current job.

But from the looks of it, it was not going to be the case this time. So, having that in her mind, she gave Mr. Cool Guy a quick sidelong glance as if she was saying. ʼNow, we have a battle that is worthwhile to be covered. Letʼs see if you can still say something at the next meeting.ʼ

...…

Going back on the battlefield, the air surrounding both Shin and Akailu was becoming more and more heavy each time the arena clock ticked down towards zero.

Ding!

When the system gave them the signal to start the battle, both Shin and Akailu immediately ordered their summons without further ado. And right after the two of them gave their orders, both Whitie and the Black Bear on the other side immediately jumped forward as if they were going after their prey.

Roar! Roar!

As the Black Bear was charging forward, it suddenly leaped towards Whitie while raising one of its paws before swinging it powerfully at the incoming white tiger.

On the other hand, Whitie pounced towards the incoming black bear while extending his front paws forwards. At the same time, he was also opening his jaws, as if he was planning to bite his opponent right after getting some contact.

Whitieʼs paws managed to reach the shoulder of the incoming bear first, so the bear was unable to land its paw at his head. But latter was quite clever and swiped Whitieʼs shoulder, sending the white tiger to the side.

Bang!

Whitie was sent rolling on the ground when he was gotten hit by that claw swipe. But he immediately bounced back right after his feet came in contact with the ground. At the same time, Whitie rammed at the bear and sent the latter sliding backwards.

Bang!

The Black Bear dug its claws on the ground so that it could stop itself from moving further backwards. And when the bear managed to stop its slide, it immediately launched itself towards the incoming white tiger.

Roar! Roar!

While the bear and the tiger were too busy battling each other, the giant wolf surrounded with artic powers, was currently observing the two with a pair of squinting eyes.

And when it finally found a time to attack, it immediately surrounded itself with icy aura before launching itself towards Whitie, who was currently busy at dealing with the black bear. If Whitie was gotten hit by this charge, he was obviously going to get a devastating damage given how powerful this charge was.

Fortunately, before the giant wolf even joined the battle, a hooded figure suddenly appeared in its path and blocked its way forward. And since it was just a tiny figure, the giant wolf refused to stop its charge and continue at moving forward.

Seeing the giant wolf had no intention of stopping, the hooded figure suddenly jumped in the air and aligned himself at the head of the incoming wolf. And when the wolf reached the ideal range for his attack, the hooded figure quickly pulled out its sword from its sheath before swinging it sideways and sending a huge sword wave which was blazing with a black flame.

ʼClone Skill (Sun): (Reinforced) Solar Flareʼ

Boom!

Since Shin was already familiar at controlling both of the power of the Sun and the Moon, he was able to completely reinforce the explosiveness of all of his skills related to these two powers by accumulating more amount of elemental mana towards his sword.

And since Sun Clone could further strengthen the powers of fire-related skills that Shin had, the power of this new ʼSolar Flareʼ was much stronger than before. Due to that, the powerful charge of the giant wolf was forcefully halted when it came in contact with the blazing sword wave, which also created a smoke that was a mix of a hot steam and a cold mist.

When the feet of the Sun Clone touched the ground once again, the huge body of the giant wolf also happened to be revealed by the subduing smoke.

The giant wolf was squinting its eyes while it was looking at the tiny figure standing on its front. Now that the Sun Clone was done at ʼproperly introduced itselfʼ, the wolf couldnʼt take this little one too lightly anymore.

It was as if the giant wolf was saying. – ”It looks like this is going to be a worthwhile hunt after all.” –

In the meantime, the other side of the battlefield was in the same manner. But unlike the wolf, who was stalking its prey first, the giant tiger immediately launched a barrage of attacks at Whitie; it spit a bunch of huge fireballs towards white tiger.

But before those fireballs reached their targets, a huge sword wave with a silver color suddenly devoured them whole.

Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seeing that its fireballs became ineffective, the giant tiger turned its head at the direction where that silver sword wave came from. And right after turning its head, the tiger saw the Moon Clone leisurely walking towards it while currently in the middle of sheathing its sword.

Intelligently, this tiger seemed to understand that this tiny opponent was not someone that could be easily trifled with. It was as if its senses were telling it that this little figure was also a monster just like its own.

Grr!

The giant tiger released a threatening growl before sending another bunch of fireballs, as if it was testing the waters. But none of the fireballs managed to even graze the body of the Moon Clone as he suddenly transformed into multiple phantoms while dodging every single one of them.

The moment the giant tiger saw that, its eyes seemed to squint a little as if it understood that there was going to be a tough fight ahead of it.

And just like that, the battle between the famous and seemingly hated ʼNameless Swordsmanʼ and the ʼBeastmaster: Akailuʼ finally started.
