Child of Destiny

Chapter 1480: The Dragon God versus the Evil God (Part 1)

...…

Bang! Bang!

Boom!

More destruction ravaged the arena as Arthur and Uno lunged at themselves against each other once again. It took only a short time for the ground to have multiple pits and craters scattered around whenever they appeared in a certain location.

Each collision of them had created thunderous explosions, signifying how powerful the strength those clashes carried.

They still showcased their signature Combat Techniques and respective Mana Manipulation, but with an even greater intensity due to them entering their Natural States. They both showcased their full mastery over these techniques, amazing all the audience and viewers.

Whenever the two combatants were deadlocked with ʼsimpleʼ exchanges, David and Miss Bunny would inject some comments and show their insights.

With their help, the people watching the battle were able to get a more in-depth understanding of the battle. Everyone was able to understand the decisions of the two due to David giving them more informative comments.

He was also competent and kind enough to explain things in more detail despite the insane pace of the battle. He even was able to inject some jokes from time to time, making everything a little more entertaining.

Miss Bunny, with her professional experience, was able to keep up with David. This created a more relaxing atmosphere despite the intensity of the battle.

They were unlike those commentators, who could not help but stare blankly at their screens after seeing such a crazy battle.

This gave the people a more positive look at the duo, making the people flood their live broadcast even more. Even those, who were watching at the live stand, chose to open their respective virtual screens to connect to the live broadcast after hearing the news.

They could also hear the voices of the two at the live stand. But due to how lively and noisy that place was, they were unable to properly hear the two, so they listened to them through the broadcast, which was ringing right in their ears.

These people were listening to them while keeping their eyes on the ongoing battle at the arena.

Due to this, the ratings of their broadcast continued to increase, creating a record-breaking viewership.

This was not even an official duel, yet it had already thrown everyone into a storm.

***

Arthur leaped into the air while adjusting his position for a spear-throwing stance in the air. The surrounding mana quickly gathered to his spear, setting it ablaze with a multicolored flame.

Swoosh!

When the accumulation of power reached its peak, Arthur threw the spear with all his might, sending it toward his opponent.

Swoosh!

During its flight, the spear and the flame that was covering it transformed into a huge dragon that opened its mouth wide, seemingly trying to devour the world with it.

Roar!

ʼTrue Nine Dragon Arts: Divine Dragon Devours the Worldʼ

Uno, who was standing right beneath this dragon, took a stance of his own. He spread his feet and squatted his hips as the shortswords in his hands were put by in their sheaths.

Bang!

At the same time, the black light containing the coldest energy in the air world shrouded his body and illuminated his entire being.

Shing!

Not long after, his arms turned into blurs as he unsheathed the shortswords once again before swinging them in the air. His actions were so fast that his arms almost disappeared from everyoneʼs eyes before reappearing right after executing his technique.

At the same time, a huge crescent of energy suddenly appeared in the air and flew toward the descending dragon.

This crescent energy contained a coldness that seemed to come from the deepest abyss, making even the space freeze with its presence.

ʼYin-Yang Cultivation Arts: Extreme Yin – Breath of the Northern Windʼ

Swoosh!

The crescent energy looked somewhat inferior compared to the descending dragon, but when it came in contact with the latter, the dragon made of multicolored flame was split in half before both of them dissipated in the air.

Bang!

Swoosh!

Arthur, who was now falling from the sky, caught the spear in a very skillful manner. Then they followed its momentum to spin midair before continuing his descent.

Spinning rapidly during his descent, Arthur gathered more energy toward his spear before swinging it down as if he were trying to split the world itself.

ʼTrue Nine Dragon Arts: Heavenly Cleave of the Divine Kingʼ

Swoosh!

Waiting below, Uno flipped his shortswords and changed his grip over them. The moment when he fixed his grip, both swords released a violent flame. These flames danced along the wind while releasing intense heat that started to scorch the ground undeath Unoʼs feet.

And when the spear of his opponent was about to descend at him, he suddenly swung for of the swords as they carried an immense force that could not be stopped.

ʼYin-Yang Cultivation Arts: Absolute Yang – The Rising Sunʼ

Swoosh!

BOOM!

The immediate exploration quickly followed right after the two powers collided with each other.

The ground sank, producing an even larger crater than what the two had created thus far. The fragments of rocks that were thrown in the air due to the pick were instantly turned into dust due to the impact.

Swoosh!

Arthur quickly bounced in the air as he absorbed some of the force from the collision before adjusting his position in the air.

With a quick spin, he suddenly stabbed his spear at Uno multiple times, turning his weapon into serpent dragons that were trying to take the life of his opponent.

ʼTrue Nine Dragon Arts: Dragon Nestʼ

Uno seemed to have already expected it and took a couple of back to create more distance between him and those dragons.

Ta-ta!

He then swiftly swung his swords multiple times, sending a series of energy waves that cut through the dragons and chopped their heads.

ʼYin-Yang Cultivation Arts: Yin Form – Snowstorm Bladeʼ

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ta-ta!

At this moment, Arthur had landed on the ground once again. He then kicked the ground and charged forward with his shield positioned right in front of him.

Bang!

Given his momentum and the violent flame covering his body, he looked like a huge truck set aflame while charging toward a pedestrian.

ʼUltimate Military Arts: Lethal Move – Destruction Chargeʼ

Seeing the incoming ʼtruckʼ, Uno took a step back while sheathing back the shortswords in a smooth motion.

Bang!

He firmly planted his foot behind him while his arms swiftly spread wide and steadily moved in circles as if he were drawing a Tai Chi diagram in front of him.

With the gesture of his hands, the air seemed to have obeyed his command before gathering in front of him. And when he put the bottom of his palms together and pushed them forward, a powerful shockwave exploded and clashed against the incoming ʼtruckʼ, greatly weakening its momentum.

ʼOriginal Yin-Yang Arts: Combining Gentleness and Hardnessʼ

Bang!

Even if he did not stop Arthurʼs charge, Uno was still able to weaken the fearsome advance.

He slightly raised his brows when he saw that despite him almost stopping his opponent, his field of vision was now blocked by the round shield in front of him, completely hiding his opponent.

It was an old trick for gamers, who specially played knight classes – blinding their opponents with their shield to hide their intention.

Sensing that something was amiss, Uno quickly used the heel of his front foot to kick the ground and pushed himself away from Arthur.

Swoosh!

Right after skidded backward, Arthurʼs spear suddenly came out from behind the shield like a venomous snake and tried to catch Uno. Unfortunately, the latter was quick enough to respond and created the distance between them as soon as possible.

Bang!

With impeccable timing, right after Arthur pulled his shield back and threw his spear forward, Uno suddenly lunged forward while unsheathing his swords and swinging them at the opposing party.

The timing was so good that he did not give Arthur to position his shield in front of him once again due to the awkward position.

But right when it happened, Arthur suddenly loosened his grip over the spear and let it fly forward. This action forced Uno to slightly slow down as he had to duck forward to dodge its tip.

Feeling the texture of the metal shaft of his spear, Arthur let the spear fly forward until his hand reached its bottom. Then he suddenly tightened his grip once again, catching the spear and stopping it from going further.

After that, he suddenly pressed downward to make the spear flip before pushing upwards once again and slightly twisting his body to the side to catch the spear with his shoulders.

Clang!

With this action, the shaft of the spear collided with the blades of the pair of shortswords that were trying to cut his waist like huge scissors.

Swoosh!

Arthur absorbed the force of impact and used it to slide backward and reclaim the ideal distance for his spear once again.

”Not bad~,” commented David from the virtual space after seeing those simple yet intense moves at the last exchange.
