Child of Destiny

Chapter 1809: Total Chaos (Part 1)

...…

Right after reorganizing themselves, Shin quickly issued a series of commands. ”Arielle (Cloe) will be taking over the command. Lead Chaos and Little Hua at organizing their forces.”

”Owen will still hold the front while Charlotte (Alice) and Alucard provide support in the distance. Diablo, try to sneak into their backline and eliminate their healer and the others if possible.”

”I will keep their key members busy,” he added as he stepped forward, seemingly planning to charge at the opposing ranks by himself.

The aura that he was currently emitting was so suffocating that it even affected his teammates to a certain degree.

There seemed to be boiling rage within him that was ready to erupt at any given moment. It was like a hyperactive volcano that was about to erupt.

Crackle! Crackle!

The raging Five Elemental Primordial Lightning danced around his body as he continued to step forward.

The other members were not sure about the situation as it was quite rare for them to see Shin this agitated. They did not believe that it was because of what happened to Leonard, as they all knew that it was just a part of the competition.

Moreover, Leonard had also exchanged his life for three strong members of the opposing side, which greatly helped them offset the advantages of their opponents in terms of the quality of their members.

The audience could also see somewhat the strange state that Shin was in. They felt that he was blaming himself for not doing well in the previous exchanges with Kael.

They were thinking that Shin was somewhat regretful that he did not manage to take down Kael, who seemed to be a key figure in the opposing ranks.

If he managed to do that, then their job would be much easier than what they were facing right now. In that case, the sacrifice that War God Simba had would be much more effective.

Other than these reasons, everyone could not think of any other reason why Shin was this worked up.

Meanwhile, it was a completely different view from Cloeʼs perspective. She could not help but smile bitterly and sigh helplessly after seeing Shin act this way.

It was neither Leonardʼs death nor the self-blame that everyone was thinking of. Instead, it was excitement.

That was right!

She could see that Shin was currently in a very excited state that she and his two sworn brothers rarely saw in him.

Shin was currently in a state where he was too eager to test the abilities of these people, who had managed to force Leonard into such a state.

Shin might still be unfamiliar with the true prestige of Leonard within the virtual world, as he was still quite ʼnewʼ in the gaming community. But he could at least tell that the latter was very powerful and quite ahead of him within the game.

He might have already caught up to Arthur and Leonard in terms of strength within the virtual world, but his prestige was still somewhat lacking when compared to the reputation that those two had built up by playing multiple games in the last few years.

Particularly Arthur, who loved to show off and jumped into the center of the spotlight all the time.

At this moment, Shin was having an urge to go all-out and challenge the opposing side by himself.

Or at least all their key members.

Crackle! Crackle!

As the lightning surrounding his body became more violent, each of his steps became more hurried and heavier in response.

Whatever was hidden within him seemed to be about to erupt at any given moment now.

…

In the meantime, the members of the Earners Mercenary Group quickly reorganized themselves after regrouping.

They were planning to set up their formation as soon as they could before the opposing side could even lay down their forces.

After all, the fame of the Legion of the Chaotic Sun was not just for show. Kael had even told him what most of them could do with their forces.

Moreover, the group was also aware of the notorious combo of this legion along with the Gentle Goddess.

Arielle was known for being the number one healer within the game, which was why she could showcase her true abilities in group battles.

But when it came to warfare, which involved huge armies or legions, the impact that she could make was much more devastating than what a normal healer could do.

Her healing spells were not just meant for team battles but were also very effective in large-scale battles. He massive buffs and large-scale healing were such a cheat in wars.

What made it worse for them was the type of army that the Empyrean Talons possessed.

Undeads.

These were the undying creatures that could not be killed that easily.

Usually, Undead Creatures were countered by Holy Powers and Sacred Attributes. Sometimes, there were also fire and lightning elements that could harm them to a certain degree.

These were the known counters for Undead Monsters.

Unfortunately, such weaknesses did not apply to the Legion of Chaotic Sun. Holy Powers and Sacred Attributes were more like a buff to these strange creatures rather than harming them.

Adding Cloe into the equation, the might of this legion had risen exponentially.

But still, it was not the end yet since Huahua was now added to the mix, who majored in shamanic spells. Her totem formations and ghost army had directly made the forces of the Empyrean Talons more powerful.

Even if Cloe could not heal the ghost soldiers, vengeful spirits, and such, she could still assist them through other means.

She could also ignore these forces and treat them as some sort of cannon fodder while she focused on supporting Chaotic Luck and his legion.

These were the reasons why the Earners Mercenary Group was avoiding facing the Empyrean Talons and the might of their army.

They had arranged multiple countermeasures to suppress the legion and weaken their forces to the lowest point.

The presences of Flouree, Kael, and Crimson were all meant to counter this legion with their overwhelming and destructive firepower.

Unfortunately for them, the main factor that would decide this battle was not about Chaotic Luckʼs the Legion of the Chaotic Sun, Cloeʼs healing and auxiliary spells, and Huahuaʼs totem formation.

Instead, it was the might of a single person, whom they had ʼneglectedʼ due to the presence of the huge army.

Boom!

As Flouree was organizing their formation and giving out her orders, a loud explosion from the opposing side had suddenly erupted, followed by a flash of light.

They had been keeping their eyes on every member of the Empyrean Talons, so they knew what had just happened.

They all saw Shin moving toward them before erupting with an explosive charge that released a strong current of lightning.

The flash of light was also produced by this lightning, which somewhat blinded them for an instant.

It might be short, but it was more than enough for Shin to reach their ranks while taking advantage of their temporary blindness.

Swoosh!

Crackle! Crackle!

The scorching scent of the air immediately assaulted the noses of everyone as Shin approached them.

Fortunately, Wang Zhou, who had always kept his guard up until now, swiftly responded and placed himself in front of the incoming streak of light before it could even reach the center of their force.

Even if he was blinded by that flash of light, he was still able to respond accordingly by relying on his memory and rich battle instincts.

Swoosh!

BOOM!

His shield had greeted the incoming strike, almost blasting him from his position.

If not for his superior defensive stats and sturdy build, he would have most likely been blown away by this attack.

Unfortunately, Shin had already flown over him and landed at the center of their formation before anyone could react.

That blinding light earlier was more than enough for him to reach them and break through their ranks without a problem.

Of course, it was also because he had caught them off guard. They did not expect him to be this decisive while the rest of his team was still in the middle of organizing their formation.

Shin did not even wait for them to respond, as he suddenly raised his right foot and accumulated a huge amount of lightning energy into it.

Swoosh!

He then stomped into the floor, sending a destructive shockwave that made the hard floor to sunk and create a small crater that extended up to 10-meter radius.

Boom!

Crackle! Crackle!

At the same time, a violent storm of lightning currents spread in every direction, attempting to paralyze the group.

”Natureʼs Stream!”

But before the paralyzing effects could even affect everyone, Matilda had already reacted and used a buff that protected them from being immobilized by the lightning currents.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, the group had swiftly distanced themselves from Shin, particularly those meant to stand at the blackline, while Sylas and Wang Zhou charged at Shin.

The two were planning to trap Shin while the rest bombarded him with their respective attacks. They were planning to punish him for being too bold to charge at them all by himself.

Click!

But before they could even execute the plans inside their head, they suddenly heard a subtle sound of the [Yamato] being separated from its sheath.

A sudden premonition befell everyone, warning them about the danger.

Swoosh!

They quickly responded as they further retreated away from Shin while still firing their skills and spells at him.

But this time, Sylas and Wang Zhou did not dare to get near him, choosing to guard the others over pinning Shin in place.

Shing!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

It was at that moment when a series of sword flashes suddenly surrounded Shin and formed a dome that both cut through and protected him from the skills and spells that were raining down at him from every direction.

This scene stunned everyone as he stood in the middle of the chaotic explosions while maintaining the final posture of his previous technique.

This then ignited the start of another round of chaotic battle.
