Child of Destiny

Chapter 1835: The Beastmaster and the Whale God (Part 3)

...…

After seeing the series of spells that Cetus had used, Akailu, who was hiding behind the surrounding trees and bushes, could not help but have a sudden sense of urgency.

He was not sure what the other party had done, but his instincts were telling him that it was not good for him to let this match go on for long. If he did, then the consequences would be very serious.

Thinking about this, he decided to adjust his strategy a little earlier.

With this thought in mind, Akailu swiftly issued a series of orders, commanding both the Grizzly Bear and Giant Eagle at the same time.

The two monstrous beasts then responded almost instantly. The bear charged ahead with an even stronger momentum while also gathering the surrounding earth elemental mana toward its body and forming a thick and sturdy armor.

Roar!

Meanwhile, leaped off the tree branch and flew over Cetus and the spirit knightsʼ heads before hovering over them.

Shriek!

It then released a deafening roar before flapping its wings hard and sending strong gushes of wind that swiftly turned into a destructive tornado to surround the opposing side.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The spirit knights swiftly reorganized themselves right after being summoned and went into a defensive formation.

Those holding a shield formed a circle around Cetus and raised them all at the same time, summoning a huge dome of energy that sheltered them from the tornado.

At the same time, the ones that looked like paladin knights raised their swords and placed them before their chests, casting a series of blessings to enhance the overall stats of everyone.

Boom!

Right after pinning the group in place by the tornado, the Grizzly Bear suddenly broke through the violent wind and rammed into the dome barrier, shaking it intensely.

However, the dome-shaped barrier still stood sturdily despite the bombardment of the two attacks. Aside from the constant shaking and bits of scratches appearing on its surface, nothing much happened.

At this moment, Cetus had also completed all the buffs that he needed. He then detonated the barrier to force the Grizzly Bear to retreat and disrupt the spinning tornado that surrounded them.

Boom!

Immediately after, the spirits reorganized themselves and adjusted their formation. At the same time, those with shields and spears in hand swiftly charged and chased after the Grizzly Bear to pin it in place once again.

Seeing that his opponent was going with a similar strategy as earlier, Akailu responded accordingly and let the Spirit Eagle in the air send a barrage of wind blades toward the opposing ranks.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The wind blades cut through the ranks of spirit knights, disrupting their formation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the same time, the Shadow Wolf and the Fierce Tiger made their move, launching a coordinated ambush almost at the same time.

Roar! Roar!

Cetus was already expecting that, so he swiftly responded. He swiftly assumed a battle stance before swiftly engaging in an intense battle against the two once again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

A chaotic and destructive battle quickly erupted between the two sides, almost flattening the surroundings due to the powerful exchanges between the two.

Both sides did not want to hold back on this round of exchanges and started using more advanced skills and spells in the process.

Cetus revealed more of the cards under his sleeves, using a series of powerful and large-scale spells and skills one after another to force the opposing side to reveal themselves.

Akailu, on the other hand, remained hidden as he continued to issue commands from the dark while closely observing his opponent.

He was waiting for the right opportunity to strike, but that did not mean he was taking it easy either.

He was letting his beast pets use their most powerful skills, other than their evolved forms that he had yet to fully control.

He was going all-out with his beast pets, yet it was still far from being enough to take down the opposing side.

Adding that he knew that it was unfavorable for him to let this battle last a little longer, Akailu understood that he was on a timer.

It was then that he decided to make his move finally.

Swoosh!

While Cetus was busy warding off the combined attacks of the three monstrous beasts around him, the Grizzly Bear suddenly went berserk and threw the surrounding spirit knights in the air, which allowed it to break through their formation.

Roar!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It galloped straight to Cetus, who was not trapped in the formation of the Shadow Wolf and the Fierce Tiger.

The three beasts flanked him in three different directions, further trapping him with their triangular formation.

In the meantime, the Spirit Eagle in the air started firing a barrage of wind blades at the spirit knights, preventing them from catching up to the Grizzly Bear.

Seemingly expecting this to happen, Cetus suddenly stabbed his spear into the ground before joining the tips of his fingers together.

Right at the same time, the ground underneath his feet suddenly trembled as a magic array appeared on it. No one knew when he set it up, but it was already in its active form when it appeared.

When the three beasts stepped into the range of the array, a powerful pressure suddenly descended from the sky and pressed into them, locking them in place.

Cetus did not immediately attack the three when he trapped them and instead sacrificed the spirit knights once again, transforming them into specks of light and absorbing them into his spear.

Boom!

Right after the spear absorbed all the specks of light, it released a powerful aura that could even affect the four monstrous beasts on the field.

Seeing this scene, Akailu, who was already prepared to make his move, could not help but frown deeply as he finally realized what his opponent was trying to do. ”Donʼt tell me he is planning to do this until the level of that weapon can kill all of my pets in one shot?”

Seemingly conforming to his words, Cetus used the ʼMana Refundʼ to restore all the mana he just spent before summoning another batch of spirit knights.

Such a combo was truly disgusting for those who understood what was going on. It was a simple yet brutal play for a pay-to-win player.

But this was not the end, since Cetus immediately followed it with another spell that made all the expressions of the people watching the match ugly.

Boom!

Not long after, a massive spear suddenly appeared in the sky above the jungle, pointing at the exact location where the battle was currently taking place.

Akailu might not be able to see it due to the canopy of the giant trees filling the map. However, his senses as well as his beast pets were able to pick up the danger filling the air, realizing what was going on.

ʼBattle Mage Spell (Tier 4): Forbidden Series – Spear of Destructionʼ

Swoosh!

The pressure coming from the presence of this giant spear alone was more than enough to overwhelm the map, freezing all the living creatures in place.

Seeing such a powerful skill, the expression on Arthurʼs face could not help but turn serious a little. ”Where did this guy find a Tier 4 Spell to learn? And how much money does he spend just to get his hands on it?”

The ʼpassiveʼ effects of this skill were almost on the same scale as the sword skill that Uno had shown everyone during his match against Ashura, which gave everyone a rough idea of how powerful that sword strike was.

The maximum tier that the players reached in this current patch was Tier 3, since leveling up past Level 150 was a hellish experience.

Tier 4 was still way beyond the abilities of everyone, yet this crazy whale had already gotten his hands on such a very advanced and destructive spell.

It was not much of a surprise to find a powerful skill or spell since the godly experts could just match it through their powerful combat abilities and special combat states, just like how Uno had achieved it previously.

But it was only possible because Uno was the one doing it.

Shin, Arthur, Leonard, and the rest of the godly experts standing at the peak of the Godly Ranking Lists understood this fact.

Yet here was a wealthy dude who managed to achieve a similar feat just by spending his money.

”No wonder that guy prioritizes stacking up that sacrificial spell over anything else. He is trying to meet the required stats to activate this Tier 4 Spell.” Shin was able to analyze what had just happened after recalling the small details in the battle.

”Isnʼt this dangerous for Akailu?” asked Cloe after seeing the giant spear hovering over the jungle.

Given the range and the destructive power that the spear carried, she could at least tell that Akailu couldnʼt escape from it. All he could do was face it head-on, which would lead to an obvious outcome.

Just recalling the final exchange between Uno and Ashura was more than enough to remind everyone of the destructiveness of such an attack.

Even if it was hard for everyone to judge which attack was more powerful, the scale of destruction should still be close to one another, making them believe that Akailu couldnʼt survive such a predicament.

However, Shin and Arthur did not dare to confirm such thoughts.

It was because they both knew that even if this Tier 4 Spell was powerful, it was still far from reaching the level that Uno had achieved, which further confirmed how scary the guy was.

Then the two turned to Leonard at the same time, seemingly trying to ask something.

They might be familiar with Akailu and his style, but they could not fully understand the peak of his capabilities, especially after the most recent awakening of the latter.

Among all the members of the Empyrean Talons, Leonard would be the most familiar with Akailu since they were the ones who trained together almost all the time.

Understanding the looks that the two were giving him, Leonard thought for a moment before shaking his head. ”I am not sure if he can survive such a powerful spell, but I can at least say that there is still a decent chance for it.”

”That guy has a decent trump card under his sleeves,” he added, with a tone that was purposely trying to mystify things.
