Child of Destiny

Chapter 760: A Battle against the Big Sister (Part 1)

...

The group stared at Leonard who was currently in a very beaten-up appearance. They were currently confused at how did this godlike player ended up in such a sorry state.

In the meantime, Leonard tapped away the frost flakes that were stacked on his equipment before turning to Arthur. ”Hey! What is wrong with your family? Your sibling fight is a little too much!”

Hearing that, Arthur couldnʼt help but knit his eyebrows before asking in return. ”What the heck are you talking about?”

But he didnʼt get a reply from Leonard as another voice sounded from the dark forest instead. ”My, my! Looks who we caught this time! Isnʼt it one of the little rascals that we have at home?”

Hearing that familiar voice, Arthur couldnʼt help but tremble as he could already guess what Leonard was talking about. And sure enough, he immediately spotted Shiella walking out from the forest the moment he turned his head at her.

Moreover, Shiella seemed to be having a leisure walk when he looked at her which made him shiver even more. Since he was pretty familiar with Shiella, he knew that the calmer she acted on the outside, the scarier she could become.

”What are you doing here, big sis? I thought you are currently busy with the Open Dungeon that we discover in the Maple Cloud City?” asked Arthur with a stiff smile on his face.

”Whatʼs with that question? Canʼt I be in this place? Are you guys hiding something here that you canʼt be shared with me?” asked Shiella in return while flashing a playful smile.

That smile was so bright that almost melted the hearts of the male players in the vicinity. Given her beauty, it was pretty natural for them to have such a reaction.

Unfortunately, it had a completely opposite effect on the people who were familiar with her just like Arthur and Leonard. For them, that bright smile was the same as them having a death sentence.

The two of them started sweating bullets right at the very moment when they saw the bright smile that Shiella was giving them.

”I heard you guys are currently doing a quest here. But what are we going to do? We also have a quest here. And from the looks of it, we are currently standing on the opposite side of each other,” said Shiella, acting as if she was troubled.

The corner of Arthurʼs mouth suddenly twitched when he heard those words, especially when he could sense the sarcasm in her words. He was pretty sure that this big sister of his was clearly plotting something.

Shiella was naturally able to sense the cautiousness of Arthurʼs actions. After all, he was her little brother, so she knew that he was able to sense that there was something going on.

Not willing to drag this any longer, she quickly started her main objective. ”My subordinate is currently doing a quest here. But since we are currently on the opposing side, how about you guys take a step back here and let us finish our quest without spilling much blood?”

The expression on the group immediately turned dark when they heard those words. They already invested quite a lot of time and effort in this quest, so it was obvious that it was already too late for them to turn back now.

”Big Sis, isnʼt it a little too much? How about you give this one to us? I am still your little brother,” said Arthur with a bitter smile.

Hearing that, Shiella suddenly raised her eyebrow before saying. ”So you still remember that I am your Big Sister, huh? But how come you are only handing me the troublesome things while you are taking all of the good stuff for yourselves?”

Ugh!

Arthur couldnʼt help but groan painfully when he heard those words since he knew that what she just said was true.

Left with no other choice, he could only sell Shin out as his last resort. ”That is not true, Big Sis. Shin already prepared a lot of things regarding this area. He just doesnʼt have the time to discuss it with you because a lot of things are currently happening.”

Hearing that, Shiella couldnʼt help but smirk as she could already see what her little brother was planning. ”Is that so? Then how about this, we are going to fight this out and the losing side need to leave and forget about everything.”

Hearing that, the faces of the group immediately turned even darker as they could already see what was going to happen.

In the meantime, S.Tigris and his group who already knew how strong Shiella was, was currently having the darkest expression on their faces. It was the same case for the other members of Empyrean Talons who also saw the real power of the Frost Goddess.

Even if they had Arthur and Leonard on their side, they could already guess that the two of them were not going to be enough to handle Shiella. The current appearance of Leonard was more than enough for them to have a rough idea of how strong the so-called Frost Goddess was.

They might also have the advantage in terms of numbers. But from what they could hear from the conversation of the two, they could at least tell that Shiella was also not alone.

On top of that, there were also the vampires that they were fighting earlier. Adding it to the force that Shiella had behind her, the group could already tell that this was not going to be good for them.

”Tsk! Then donʼt take this personally, Big Sis. We are just doing our quest here,” said Arthur as he was signaling the others to get ready for battle.

Seeing their actions, Shiella couldnʼt help but look at them with full amusement as if she found their response quite cute. ”Hoh~! You want to fight in the end, huh? Good timing! I happen to be itching to humble my ʼrebelliousʼ brother for quite some time now.”

Snap!

Then with a snap of her fingers, a large group of vampires suddenly revealed themselves from the darkness while looking at the group with glaring eyes.

”Tsk! Looks like we canʼt avoid this fight,” muttered S.Tigris while ordering his group to get in position.

In the meantime, the other members of the Empyrean Talons were also getting information while getting ready for battle.

On the other hand, two more players appeared behind Shiella. One of them was Kristle who became the new ʼslaveʼ of Shiella while the other was Christine who was the vampire that Leonard was fighting earlier.

”Tsk! This is going to be a little troublesome. That Dragonkin girl is somewhat troublesome. Her skills are a little above the average,” said Arthur after spotting Kristle.

”Let S.Tigris and his group deal with her. They should be enough to handle her,” he added while stepping forward.

On the other hand, Leonard couldnʼt help but knit his eyebrows when he heard those words. He knew how stingy Arthur was when it came to praising people, especially if that person was somewhat related to dragons.

Now that Arthur was saying that this girlʼs skills were above the average, then she was at least as strong as Peak Titled Ranker. Or might even be someone that had the strength right below the godlike players.

Having that in mind, he quickly turned to S.Tigris and his group before saying ”You guys are going to handle that dragonkin girl. Just be careful, she seemed to be almost as strong as a bona fide godlike player.”

S.Tigris and his group slightly knitted their eyebrows when they heard those words. But aside from that, they didnʼt say anything else nor complain since they knew that the side of the Empyrean Talons would face the Frost Goddess and the army of vampires.

The numbers were not going to be the problem since they now had Chaotic Luck on their side. With his undead monsters, dealing with the vampires was not going to be that hard.

Or at least, that should be the case.

Unfortunately, it seems like the combined forces of the real vampires and the corrupted beings were much more problematic than they had expected. Moreover, the latter group of monsters had no intention to hide their real appearance and abilities right now.

Arthur didnʼt dare to remove his eyes away from Shiella as he gave his instructions to the other members of their group. ”Leo and I will handle Big Sister on our own. You guys just focus on the other vampires and the corrupted beings.”

”And make sure to capture more vampires as much as you can. But if it is too much for you to handle, then feel free to eliminate them,” he added before walking ahead.

In the meantime, Leonard walked beside him and quickly said. ”I already informed Shin Bro and he said to take it easy, it seems like your big sister is planning something.”

”Heh! Of course, I know that! But the problem is she really plans to beat the crap out of me based on the expression that she is currently making,” responded Arthur who was wearing a solemn look on his face.

”So we canʼt afford to let our guards down despite that being the case,” he added while taking a battle stance.

In the meantime, Leonard could only shake his head helplessly before muttering to himself. ”Why the heck am I involved with your family matters? You and your troublesome family!”
