Child of Destiny

Chapter 1669: Second Match: Beast Master vs Peerless Summoner (Part 3)

...…

The expression on Vendettaʼs face contorted a little after seeing the three beast monsters guarding Akailu while facing three different directions.

A moment later, Vendetta gave a signal to his Spirit Warriors, telling them to start attacking. ”Go!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The first to make the move were those Spirit Archers, firing a volley of arrows at the center of their formation, where their enemies stood.

Seeing the arrows pouring from every direction, the armored tiger suddenly stepped forward. It spread its feet, planting them firmly on the wetland and almost digging deep into the swamp.

It then released a deafening roar that produced a powerful shockwave that extended outwards and created a barrier of wind that protected them from the incoming rain of arrows.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not long after, all the arrows from the volley were destroyed and deflected away.

But the assault of the opposing side did not stop there as the Spirit Warriors also made their move at the same time.

Those with shields and swords, looking like a knight, were the first to advance. They formed a perfect line of defense with their shields, not willing to let anyone escape from their formation.

Right beside these knights were those with other melee weapons. Some wielded regular sword-type weapons like greatsword, longsword, broadsword, and such. Others had a mix of axes, sickles, hammers, and polearm weapons.

Those at the rear were naturally composed of marksmen, mages, and healers to support the frontline with all their powers.

Despite this huge group of Spirit Summons, their ranks were still far from being considered a ʼreal armyʼ.

Regardless, their team composition was still quite solid enough to meet the ideal and most basic requirements for a ʼlarge-scaleʼ battle.

In response, the alpha wolf took the initiative to summon its shadow wolves from its shadows, not waiting for Akailuʼs orders. It then released a series of low growls, seemingly giving out its orders.

Awoo~!

The group of shadow wolves quickly executed the orders given by the leader while the alpha wolf itself remained on its spot, faithfully guarding its master.

On the other hand, the armored tiger jumped out of the formation and started sprinting toward the incoming Spirit Warriors. It led the shadow wolves to attack their enemies, which was quite strange given that it was supposed to be the job of the black alpha wolf.

Strangely, this strategy became more effective. The armored tiger and the shadow wolves tore through the supposedly solid defense of the other side. Their momentum was like an unstoppable force, resembling a pack of wolves wreaking havoc in a henʼs house.

They truly lived up to being wolves themselves.

For the rest of the spectators, the Black Alpha Wolf and the Armored Tiger looked like a cunning strategist, who were orchestrating the battlefield from the shadows, and a great general leading its troops fearlessly in battle and even committing an absolute slaughter at the frontlines.

This made the people curious about the other monster pet standing beside Akailu. That ferocious and scary-looking bear donned in crimson armor. The sharp-eyed experts were even excited about it, especially when their discerning eyes could tell that this monster was much stronger than the other two.

Moreover, the gap between their strengths shouldnʼt be that small, especially when the ferociousness of that bear could even reach them through the screen whenever they ʼlookedʼ at its eyes.

Vendetta could feel it as well. Even more so when he was currently on the battlefield and directly exposed to the passive pressure that the bear monster was emitting. ”It seems like that big guy is quite a real trouble.”

With a sigh, he decided to adjust the formation. He reorganized the position of his forces, planning to go with the most standard formation rather than continuing with this encirclement that covered all directions.

Since his forces were somewhat spread out, the shadow wolves and the armored together took advantage of the weakest link in their formations. It was to break through those ʼjointsʼ rather than facing the ʼmain bonesʼ head-on.

Instead of insisting on dealing with the other part with such a ʼweakʼ formation, he would rather give up on the full encirclement and focus all his forces at a single ʼpointʼ.

Seeing such a response from Vendetta, Akailu could not help but smirk as if he was already expecting this to happen.

Seemingly ʼcoordinatingʼ with the other party, the shadow wolves and the armored tiger adjusted their formation.

With the armored tiger leading the group, and the alpha wolf directing its underlings from the distance, their side immediately clashed against the opposition before the latter could even reorganize their forces.

Due to having larger numbers, the Spirit Warriors took quite some time to reorganize their formation, giving a rare opportunity for the opposing side.

Perfectly grasping this opportunity, Akailu moved his forces like a spear thrusting straight to the weakest wall of all and obliterating it in an instant.

Even if the Spirit Warriors had a better composition in theory and had a decent advantage on paper, their weaknesses were still something that could be seen by the experienced eyes of an expert.

Given that Akailu was regularly being ʼtorturedʼ by the top combatants in their team during their sparing sessions, he still learned quite a lot from them, especially when dealing with a huge number of people by themselves.

One of the tricks that he had picked up was why he watched Chaotic Luck get toyed with by Shin and Diablo by constantly targeting the weakness of his formation. The other was when Leonard was, and Owen was brute forcing their way through the Legion of the Chaotic Sun itself.

Then there was a time when Alucard and Alice just straight-up bombarded the undead army with their astonishing firepower, empowered by their most powerful skills and spells.

There were also some instances where he was the one standing at the receiving end of everything. He did not just suffer from those methods himself, but he also experienced a whole different method of ʼtreatmentʼ as the right way to deal with his forces was somewhat different from Chaotic Luckʼs Legion of Chaotic Sun.

Putting everything together – those bitter experiences and the accumulated lessons that he had gained – it would be impossible for him to not learn how to deal with similar situations or at least use it against other people.

At this moment, Vendetta was the person standing at the receiving of such a devious method from Shin and the others.

Naturally, the ability to pull it off was also a whole different matter. The fact that Akailu had learned it from the others and put them into practice, particularly in the more competitive stage of the professional battle, signified his true talent.

Extensively understanding those battle tactics and fully grasping the right timing was the real challenge for this, especially when it came to the competitive scene.

Moreover, the skills and abilities of each side were roughly on par with one another, excluding the special and unique methods that they hid under their arsenal.

This instance was the real challenge for either side. Whether Akailu would be able to ride in this momentum to utterly crush his opponent or if Vendetta could find a way to solve it before everything was too late.

Sensing that the tide of this match had already started oaring toward his opponent, Vendetta knew that he had to reveal more of his trump cards to turn the momentum back toward his favor.

With that in mind, Vendetta called his mind and summoned a pair of chakrams from his and started waving them left and right, seemingly performing a ritual.

The ribbons tied around the chakrams danced along the air as he moved them around, which then turned a magical thread that connected to the ground where a ten-meter radius summoning circle appeared.

Roar!

Not long after, a huge spiritual being slowly emerged from it and kneeled before Vendetta.

It was a Spirit Warrior with a noticeable difference compared to the others, particularly with the set of armor that it was wearing and weapons that it was wielding.

The spirit armor itself seemed to have life itself but without a proper conscience. It was as if this armor was a spirit itself and turned into what it was now.

The weapons seemed to be in a similar case, particularly when the auras that they were emitting were on a similar level and wavelength.

It did not take that long before Vendetta placed his chakram before the forehead of this newly summoned Spirit Warrior, seemingly transferring something into it.

A moment later, this unique Spirit Warrior opened its eyes, releasing a powerful pressure that spread in every direction. This pressure quickly spread throughout the entire battlefield, seemingly suppressing everyone.

The other warriors from the Spirit Army momentarily paused their movements after sensing this unique aura. They also gave it a salute unique to their forces, seemingly bowing in awe and respect.

On the other hand, the beast monsters summoned by Akailu paused their movements for a different reason. They seemed to sense an immense threat coming from that Spirit Warrior, making their instincts tell them to run away from it as far as possible.

Even the Alpha Wolf and the Armored Tiger, who looked like the kings of the battlefield, show their wariness toward this monster.

But before all the monsters lose their movements, the originally calm and quiet bear finally shows some reaction.

Boom!

It casually moved its front paw and lightly tapped it on the ground, producing a powerful earthquake.

Swoosh!

Immediately after, a strong energy current swept through the entire battle, nullifying the pressure released by the Spirit Warrior and erasing all its traces.

Roar!
