Child of Destiny

Chapter 2047: A Returning Legend (Part 1)

......

Seeing the ongoing battle at the top of the altar, the members of the Dragon Pavilion felt a sudden sense of crisis.

”Those snakes from the Hydra Guild seem to be ahead of us this time,” said Luminous Dragon with a bit of solemness.

”Hmph! That is only because of the nature of their class,” snorted Berserk Dragon, refusing to believe that they would lose to those assassins. ”Look! They seem to be struggling!”

”More like playing with their food. They are obviously trying to make use of this situation to gather as much information as possible,” refuted Tyrant Dragon right after annihilating a group of skeleton soldiers around him.

”Should we pick up the pace?” asked Luminous Dragon, feeling a bit anxious about something.

”It will be a bit troublesome to give the next throne to these people, so we’d better hurry before it is too late,” said Berserk Dragon, cleaving a huge portion of the skeleton soldiers before him.

”And reveal our cards early?” asked Tyrant Dragon with a frown.

”What is the use of those cards if we will not be able to seize that throne? Moreover, losing it to those filthy snakes!” snarled Berserk Dragon, seemingly provoked once again and itching to fight his own teammate.

Luminous Dragon swiftly meditated before the situation could even turn for the worse. ”This is just the third round, so there is no need to reveal too much of our card. But that does not mean that we will hand over the throne to those sly snakes.”

”Then, I will take the lead,” said Berserk Dragon before swiftly charging straight to the ranks of the skeleton soldiers blocking his path.

Whoosh!

His body released an intense firestorm, which swiftly gathered toward his battleaxes. This, in turn, made the dual blades of his battleaxes grow larger before he swung them down.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A pair of huge blazing crescent suddenly were suddenly released from the blades of his battleaxes and cleaved through the ranks of the undead army, annihilating a huge portion of their forces.

He did not stop there, either and continued his assault with yet another attack, which was no weaker than the previous one.

Boom!

This time, a straight path was created due to the powerful blazing strike, striking down the army.

Crackle! Crackle!

Right at the same time, Tyrant Dragon suddenly charged ahead, taking the path that Berserk Dragon had created to move forward.

Given his speed, which was greatly enhanced by his lightning attribute, he was able to break through the remaining blockade and reach the halfway mark of the altar.

Swoosh!

However, before he could even reach further ahead, he suddenly sensed an extremely fast object was flying his direction.

This forced him to halt his tracks facing that direction.

Right at the same time, he suddenly swung his lightning spear with all his might, not daring to underestimate the incoming attack.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted right after the two sides clashed against each other.

Swoosh!

Amid the chaos, cloud of smoke and dust produced by that explosion, Tyrant Dragon’s figure was suddenly thrown into retreat.

Raising his head, he looked at the still receding cloud of smoke while squinting his eyes with a dangerous glint.

Not long after, he saw a figure bending his waist to pick up the spear deeply embedded in the ground.

Bang!

With a powerful tug, this person pulled the spear before resting it on his shoulder.

”What is the meaning of this?” mumbled Tyrant Dragon while further narrowing his eyes.

He was not sure about the intention of the opposing party, but they seemed likely to be planning to oppose them rather than disturbing the ongoing battle at the top of the altar.

Even Luminous Dragon, who was assisting his teammates at the back, could not help but furrow his brows in confusion.

”Are they working together with that Necromancer or with the people of the Hydra Guild?” he mumbled, unable to think of the reason why this person had blocked them.

”From which force are they from?” asked Tyrant Dragon, knowing that Luminous Dragon had mostly figured out the forces they were competing with for this inheritance.

Luminous Dragon thought for a moment while looking in the direction from which the other party came. ”Based on the information that we have, they are most likely from the Heavenly Resto-Bar.”

”Those information merchants?” mumbled Tyrant alongside a deep frown before saying. ”How dare they provoke us?”

”That force is quite special due to the number of connections that they have both inside and outside the game. Occasional clashes against them are still fine, but falling out with them is going to be quite troublesome,” said Luminous Dragon with a deep tone.

”Moreover, that guy must be Aoki, based on the information that we have, one of the young masters of the organization.”

”At the same time, he is someone from the same generation as other legendary figures like Khing, who is dubbed as the King of Games, as well as the monstrous duo of the disbanded Dark Hero Adventurer Team, God Slayer Tora and Death God Yami, who are going with different aliases right now,” he added with a solemn tone.

”So that is why they have the guts to provoke us first?” asked Tyrant Dragon while pointing forward. He then paused for a moment before continuing. ”Or have they already been working with other forces for this operation, which is why they are obstructing us?”

Luminous Dragon was still in the middle of his thoughts when Berserk Dragon, as hot-headed as he was, immediately charged ahead without any hint of hesitation.

”Regardless of their reason, all we have to do is crush them for opposing us!” roared Berserk Dragon while dragging his battleaxes.

Midair, he left a blazing trail behind before suddenly swinging those huge battleaxes, transforming their sharp heads into giant cleaving axes.

BOOM!

The giant blazing blades of the axe towered over everything before it came crashing down toward the direction of the person who blocked Tyrant Dragon earlier.

This towering strike also generated intense heat that affected the surroundings, making even breathing quite terrible.

The scorching heat was so intense that the air had become an inferno.

However, despite how powerful this strike was, someone still dared to face it head-on.

Swoosh!

Another person suddenly appeared beside the first one, who was carrying a spear. This time, it was someone carrying a greatsword on their back.

Shing!

This person unsheathed his sword and immediately swung it upwards, summoning a domain of water that turned into an overwhelming flood that clashed against the descending strike made of fire.

BOOM!

The opposing forces immediately clashed, generating a powerful explosion caused by their opposing natures.

The scorching flame and freezing water clashed, generating a mixture of hot mist and cold fog.

Boom!

In the distance, Berserk Dragon fell steadily on his feet despite crushing the ground and creating a deep crater around him.

At the same time, he slowly strengthened his back before directing his gaze at the opposing side.

An intense hunger for battle was currently raging within him.

...

While the three from the Dragon Pavilion were currently staring at them like hungry beasts ready to devour them, Laurent and Ryoto were staring at their respective opponents.

”That junior of ours seems to be overestimating us a bit too much. Does he truly believe that we can handle those three by ourselves? Especially when they have someone with a support class?” Laurent complained while sighing. ”This is going to be a bit troublesome, don’t you think?”

Ryoto just shrugged his shoulders before saying. ”It is not like we are by ourselves right now. Have you already forgotten the undead army is going to be on our side?”

While he was saying those words, Ryoto was suddenly attacked by a group of skeleton soldiers around him, seemingly disproving his claim.

With a twitching corner of his mouth, he suddenly swung his greatsword and sent out a bright crescent that cleaved through all the skeleton soldiers.

Seeing that, Laurent gave him a knowing look, refusing to comment with words.

Ryoto shook his head before adding. ”You should know that our junior has taken the initiative to deal with the other side by himself. His burden is much heavier than ours, especially when he has yet to recover from his fatigue.”

Laurent shrugged his shoulders once again, refusing to comment once again.

But this time, it was not because he wanted to annoy his current partner. It was due to the three people slowly approaching them, along with the heavy pressure that their bodies were emitting.

”It seems like they are going to go all out this time,” Laurent clicked his tongue, realizing that the opposing side seemed to be quite agitated at this moment.

”It seems like your cover is blown from the previous strike,” said Ryoto while chuckling.

”Tsk! Who would have thought that there are still people out there who know about me? Moreover, it is just a single strike! How come they figure it out that fast!? I am not as famous as those people, you know,” complained Laurent.
