Child of Destiny

Chapter 1941: The Wanderer and the Junior Dragoness (Part 2)

...

Roar! Roar!

Despite Butcher possessing a powerful physique and the defensive capabilities of a Domain Realm Expert, facing such a powerful attack head-on and in such close range was not something that he could underestimate.

Adding the seamless coordination of the two before him and the perfect timing that they had when executing those series of actions, avoiding the twin dragons would be challenging even for him.

BOOM!

Shiella and David swiftly retreated right after throwing their moves, distancing themselves from the center of the explosion.

However, they did not stop moving or wait for the cloud of smoke to settle.

David waved the umbrella in his hand while also throwing yet another batch of paper talismans in the air, while Shiella moved her hands slowly and regulated her breathing to control opposing Natural Forces more easily.

Bang!

Not long after, the cloud of smoke was cleared by Butcher once again. But this time, he did not immediately launch an attack and just stood in his spot while staring intently at David and Shiella.

These two truly lived up to their reputation of being among the leading figures of the top geniuses of their generation.

One was a genius Mentalist, who roamed around the world to challenge those of his peers, while the other was a little monster of a Martial Art Family with a long-standing history.

”The Wanderer from the Dark Continent and the Junior Demoness of the Springfield Family,” he mumbled as he exhaled softly.

The earlier attack did not deal that much damage to him, but it still somewhat hurt him to a certain extent.

That combination technique from Shiella was no joke, especially when Butcher had taken them head-on twice in a row.

Moreover, the restraints that David had placed on him earlier also had some hidden effects. They were not only meant to restrain his movements, but also to shred a portion of his defensive capabilities, which he only noticed right after getting hit by Shiella’s attack.

Rolling his shoulders a little, Butcher prepared to launch his next attack. This time, he would be going all-out. He could no longer hold back in front of these brats since he knew that he might fall in an accident if he held back his strength when fighting them.

As for accidentally killing them in the process, he would think about it later once he crossed the bridge.

If these two were still able to survive even after that, then he must admit that their talents far surpassed his, especially for overcoming someone like him.

”Three minutes. That’s all we have at hand,” whispered Shiella while taking a battle stance.

She was sure that their forces would be able to notice her absence now. The timeframe that she had given David was the estimated time when their reinforcements would arrive, so they only had to hold on for that long.

”Three minutes, huh? That is still more than enough for a monster like this guy to kill us more than twice,” commented David, especially after seeing that Butcher was preparing something more overwhelming.

Boom!

Right on cue, the two saw Butcher release his overwhelming aura without restraint, dominating the entire space with his presence alone.

This was the true power of someone at the peak of the Domain Realm, which was slowly approaching the Transcendent Realm.

Their presence alone was more than enough to make those before them kneel on the ground.

Seeing this, David and Shiella understood that Butcher would no longer hold his strength back.

”Did you say three minutes? I think we don’t have the luxury to have that much time,” said David while wearing a solemn expression. ”Our only solution right now is to deal as much serious damage to this monster as we can.”

”We can’t defeat him, but seriously injuring him is possible. It does not need to be a fatal one either. Just enough to discourage him from entangling with us for much longer will be more than enough for us.”

Hearing his tone, Shiella could not help but give him a sidelong glance and ask. ”What are you planning to do?”

David answered without turning his eyes away from Butcher. ”I’ll buy you for as much time as I can. While I keep him occupied, prepare the strongest attack that you can muster.”

”I’ll give you enough opening to launch it to, so be sure to seize that chance once it arises. There are no second chances!” he emphasized before stabbing his fingers on a couple of places in his body.

When his index finger poked his temple, an overwhelming Mental Energy suddenly gushed out of his body like a raging flood.

’Meridian Blocking: Limit Break – Phase 7’

BOOM!

Even Shiella, who was right beside him, was forced to retreat away from him right after this large amount of Mental Energy came out from his body.

The quantity and quality of this particular Mental Energy were much higher than the previous one that he was emitting.

At this moment, this degree of power could be considered reaching the Venerable Realm already if it were about these two factors alone.

However, controlling this power was still beyond David’s level, so the drawbacks should be quite serious.

Cough!

An uncomfortable cough briefly escaped his mouth, but he quickly swallowed the rest of it, preventing Shiella from noticing something wrong.

Enduring all the pain that was coming from his veins and meridians, which seemed to be being crushed by his own power.

This was clearly worsening the already-worse internal injury that he had just suffered from Butcher’s earlier attack. But he ignored all of it and put up a strong front before Shiella.

”Remember what I said!” he said before taking the initiative to attack Butcher.

Bang!

He kicked the ground to propel himself forward.

Swoosh!

Crackle! Crackle!

He disappeared for a moment before appearing in front of his target in an instant, leaving golden electric trails behind him.

’Spiritual Force (Divinity Grade): Divine Wrath Force’

This was the highest version of Spiritual Force that his Mental Energy could reach, which was more powerful and more advanced than the Storm Force that he usually used.

Whoosh!

While he was thrusting the umbrella forward, an apparition of a knight clad in divine armor suddenly appeared behind him.

It mimicked his actions of thrusting forward along with a divine spear, launching a powerful attack that seemed to be able to affect even the space itself.

The space is being pulled by its spear, forming a vortex on its tip while charging forward.

’Myriad Manifestation Method: Knight King – The Divine Punishment’

Butcher remained unmoved at first despite seeing how overwhelming the Divinity Grade Mental Energy that David was currently emitting was. But after seeing the incoming attack, the expression on his face suddenly turned slightly grim, especially after sensing an immense threat coming from it.

Swoosh!

Despite not possessing the ’Authority’ that the Venerable Realm Mentalists acquired after reaching this level of power, the threat this technique, David was throwing at him, still reached high enough to threaten him.

Having that in mind, he swiftly raised his butcher knife while coating it with his Natural Force before placing it before him to block the attack.

He could face it with an attack of his own, but it was a bit too late to throw it now, which would also make him lose his initiative to counterattack afterward.

Boom!

The tip of the umbrella and the surface of the butcher knife collided against one another, producing a powerful shockwave that further destroyed the surroundings.

Butcher only needed to take a couple of steps back to disperse all the strain on his body right after the impact.

David, however, was sent flying despite being the one who had the initiative during the attack. But he immediately regained his balance during his flight by doing multiple flips in the air.

Then, when he was about to touch the ground, he suddenly stabbed the umbrella into the ground and channeled his Mental Energy into it.

Bang!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Divinity Grade Mental Energy then spread in every direction, heading to different points, where rods wrapped in paper talismans were currently located.

Immediately after, Butcher found himself standing in the middle of a huge mystic formation, which seemed to be much more advanced compared to the previous one that restrained him.

’Myriad Manifestation Method: Shaman King – The Grand Constellation Array’

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A pillar of light suddenly came out from those rods and shot toward the sky before linking with one another.

Within this array, David gained an overwhelming power that reinforced all his fighting capabilities, while those against him found themselves losing a lot of their strength.

”A Grand Array, huh?” mumbled Butcher before suddenly summoning his domain powers.

Boom!

Right after he communicated with the surroundings, the entire place seemed to become his personal territory.

Whoo~!

At the same time, ghostly cries and eerie wails rang throughout the entire place before bones and other remains of different creatures slowly emerged from the ground, turning this place into a slaughterhouse.

”Unfortunately, it is not an ’Authority’ that you Mentalists controlled,” he said while receiving all the physical enchantments and other forms of reinforcements in his power.
