Child of Destiny

Chapter 394: Unseen Aid

...…

On the side where Shiella and her group were fighting against the combined forces of the Leon Tribeʼs younger generation and Shadow Allianceʼs young agents.

The battle on this side was already coming into an end. It was because the leaders of the latter groups had already been defeated by Shiella and Mariel.

Cough! Cough!

Alexander was coughing some blood as he kneeled on the ground with both of his hands pushing the ground to prevent his upper body from completely falling on it.

ʼHow!? How come the gap between the two of us is this huge? I even have the mutated Natural Force empowered by my Ever-growing Bloodline! I also possess the Devilʼs Eyes! But why I still canʼt beat her,ʼ these thoughts kept on repeating inside Alexanderʼs head as he stared at the group full of disbelief.

Tak! Tak!

Then he heard some light footsteps walking towards him in a very slow manner. And when his ears picked up those sounds, his entire body couldnʼt help but shivered uncontrollably as he felt a deep fear just by hearing those footsteps.

And the moment he raised his head once again, what he saw from his point of view was a silhouette of a demoness staring back at him evilly.

Bang!

”N-no! P-please, spare my li-…” Alexander stutteringly tried to ask for forgiveness. But before he could even complete his words, his head had already been smashed into smithereens under the foot of that ʼdemonessʼ that he saw.

Shiella started at Alexanderʼs headless corpse on the ground with a cold gaze. After that, she turned her head towards the other side of the battlefield and saw that the ʼJunior Phoenixʼ of the Potter Clan was already about to end her fight too.

She squinted her eyes for a moment to scan her surroundings before moving towards the other side where the ongoing battle was still happening. And when she arrived, Mariel Potter just subdued her opponent.

”Good thing that you didnʼt kill her,” said Shiella right after arriving.

Hearing that, Mariel suddenly threw a vicious glare at her before saying. ”Donʼt put me on the same type as yours. At least I know when to stop. Is it really necessary to kill Alexander? We still havenʼt interrogated him.”

Shiella suddenly clicked her tongue before saying. ”Tch! If only you heard what that b*st*rd have said to me, then I am sure that you are going to kill him too.”

After that, she turned her head at Kylie who was currently being bound by Marielʼs Mental Energy and unconscious. Shiella observed her for a moment before adding. ”Whatʼs more, having this young agent was already enough for us.”

Then she squinted her eyes for a moment before whispering. ”But it is strange. I clearly felt that there are still two more young agents observing us earlier, but they suddenly disappeared right after this girl joined the battle.”

Hearing her, Mariel suddenly nodded her head and confirmed Shiellaʼs thoughts. ”Yeah. I also felt their presence earlier. In fact I even felt their killing intents right before this girl arrived here. It seems they are planning to join the battle too.”

She paused for a moment and fell into a deep thought before continuing. ”But before they could even unleash their powers, both of them suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason.”

Shiella knitted her eyebrows when she heard that and asked. ”Is it possible that they leave this place to Alexander and this girl.”

”That is also what I thought too,” answered Mariel almost instantly. But she immediately added a second later. ”But when I am battling this girl, she keeps on looking at her surroundings when I am about to defeat her. It seems like she was expecting an aid to come and save her.”

Hearing that, Shiella became even more suspicious. But since she couldnʼt figure out what happened to the other two agents hiding earlier, she immediately put that thought to the back of head. After all, it was pretty much useless to dwell on a topic that they couldnʼt solve.

Given that, she raised her head and gave an order to her subordinates. ”Alright, clean up the battlefield and help the wounded. We are moving to the ravenous point with the independent group. Make sure to move your *sses fast!”

”Yes, Maʼam!” Everyone immediately responded to her command and quickly started moving.

********

Meanwhile, the other two young agents that Shiella and Mariel were looking for weʼre already getting near to their respective deathbeds.

Lennon was already lying on the ground, unconscious and was about to take his last breath. His captain, on the other hand, was currently leaning on a tree while pressing both of his hands at the huge wound he had on his stomach.

Cough! Cough!

He coughed out some blood as he looked at the man standing a few meters away from him. A moment later, he started smiling bitter before saying laughingly. ”D*mn it! Those reports are too inaccurate. To think that you are at this level all this time? Such bullsh*ts are the reports talking about!”

Hearing that, David stood and started laughing. ”Hahaha… What are you talking about? It just I never show my real strength to others.”

He then paused for a moment and put both of his hands in both of his pockets while saying with a serious tone. ”Well, you two are not that bad either. I didnʼt expect you to force me to use my second meridian lock. Though, you are still miles away compared to that poker face b*st*rd who kills with a deadpan expression on his face.”

Hearing him, the bitter smile that the captain guy had became even more bitter before saying. ”You guys are such a bunch of monsters.”

David suddenly smirked after hearing that. And after a few more moments, he suddenly asked. ”Any last words?”

Knowing that this was going to be his last moment, the captain guyʼs face suddenly became lonely before saying. ”Can you at least remember my name?”

”Sure!” replied David while shrugging his shoulders.

”Thanks, I am Shawn Neverland,” said the captain guy while smiling at David.

David was suddenly taken aback after hearing his name. Then he suddenly came into a realization before saying with a bitter smile. ”I see. Anything else?”

”When you got a chance, just kill that poker face b*st*rd that you are talking about for my sake as well,” answered Shawn.

”I got it,” replied David before taking out his right hand from his pocket and raising it on that air, summoning a large amount of Mental Energy from his body.

After that, he made a snap with his fingers, making those Mental Energy to wildly spin around them as if they were summoning a powerful storm.

Then he looked at Shawn with a bright smile while saying. ”In exchange of all of your sufferings, let me show you a part of my current strength.”

When those words left his mouth, the revolving Mental Energy around them spun even wilder while gathering in the air above. Then he swung his right hand downwards in a very powerful manner while saying. ”Farewell.”

Swoosh!

After that, Mental Energy in the air above suddenly struck down while transforming into a serpent dragon.

ʼMyriad Manifestation Technique: Ancient Dragon Befall: Judgementʼ

Roar!

Boom!

A loud explosion was created when that dragon landed on the ground. But the strange thing after it fell on the ground was not a single thing was damaged during the impact. Instead, the ground beneath them suddenly shone with a bright golden light as if it turned the night into day.

At the same time, both Shawn and Lennon started to turn into dust as if their evil bodies were being purified by the light shining from the ground.

Feeling the warm sensation given by the golden light, Shawn closed his eyes to enjoy the lightʼs warmth. And when he re-opened his eyes once again, he started at David with a pair of lonely eyes together with a sad smile on his lips.

And before his body completely disappeared, he said to the man standing in front of him. ”I hope you can find your own happiness, prince.”

David slightly nodded his head when he heard those words. Then he watched Shawn completely turn into dust.

And when the latter finally disappeared, David looked at the sky with a solitary expression on his face while muttering to himself. ”So, there are still some who survived that incident, huh? I wonder how many of them are still alive and who are the ones that converted to the other side.”

Stayed standing like that for quite some time before he closed his eyes while taking a deep breath. And when he re-opened eyes once again, he immediately went back to his usual layback attitude.

After that, he turned his head in a certain direction before muttering to himself. ”Alright, I guess it is time to move now and go back to where my junior brother is. I donʼt want to be thrown at the Forbidden Valley if ever something unpleasant happened to him.”
