Child of Destiny

Chapter 2050: One of the Three Weapon Specialists (Part 1)

…

While Aoki and Ryoto were holding the members of the Dragon Pavilion down and keeping them busy, Leonard headed towards the side of the Black Market.

He knew that his opponents should not be that much worse compared to the other forces, but he had no choice since the situation called for it.

Moreover, he was not planning to face them all by himself since he was planning to ‘ask’ for some assistance from Chaotic Luck.

Seeing Leonard standing by himself before them, the trio from the Black Market could not help but raise their brows.

Gunner was even looking at the opposing side quite solemnly, feeling that they were being underestimated.

Squinting his eyes, he turned to Lawrence beside him before saying. “Brat, continue what you are doing and don’t do anything funny.”

Then he gestured at the other person standing respectfully on his side. “Keep an eye on him, Adelbert.”

“Understood, Branch Manager Gunner,” nodded the latter while also bowing.

He knew how powerful this branch manager was, so he was not worried about the outcome of this battle.

Based on what he knew, Gunner had already clashed with a lot of big names within the game, just like Zero, Siegfried, Ashura, and others.

Even though most of the outcomes of those battles were not favorable for this branch manager, the entire process was still commendable, especially when he had given those top gods a very good and satisfying battle.

Among his achievements, there was no lack of his victory over other apex experts of the game as well.

Regardless of the opponent before them, Adelbert did not believe that they would be able to match the might of those people that Gunner had already faced.

Setting that thought aside, he turned toward Lawrence and said. “Brat, do your job right.”

Lawrence ignored him and stared at the opponent before them quite intensely, thinking that the latter’s presence felt quite familiar.

…

Seeing that the opposing side was walking forward alone, Leonard could not help but raise his brows a little. He felt that the other side seemed to be quite confident in themselves.

“Well, that works for him,” he mumbled before adjusting his form.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hearing the thunderous explosions coming from the other side of the battlefield, Leonard regulated the circulation of energy throughout his body while also inhaling deeply.

His chest expanded while his throat hardened and contracted a little.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his mouth and released all the air he stored along with an intense flow of energy mixed with it.

‘Racial Trait (Primordial Beast): Lion’s Roar’

Roar!

A powerful shout, which greatly resembled the roar of a beast, shook the entire place and reverberated throughout the battlefield.

This particular roar made all the undead creatures of the entire army freeze in place, while those from the opposing parties could not help but halt their tracks, especially after sensing that their respective strength was greatly affected by it.

While everyone was frozen in place, Chaotic Luck, who was fighting against the three assassins of the Hydra Guild, alongside his Hell Pilgrim and blazing skeletal apes, suddenly froze as well.

However, the reason why he was frozen in place was because of this roar that came out of nowhere.

He was very familiar with it since he had always been struck by such an overpowered roar during their training sessions.

It was also one of the signature moves by those monstrous individuals within their adventurer team.

“Could it be, Simba?” he mumbled, thinking about this possibility.

With such a thought in mind, he could not help but swiftly cast his gaze at the surroundings, wanting to know if his suspicion was right.

It was only at that moment that he realized that one of the opposing parties seemed to be keeping the other two teams in check.

It could be a coincidence at first, but after seeing all these right after that sign, Chaotic Luck could not help thinking that he was right, especially when that side was obviously helping him.

Of course, he could not overlook the possibility that it might be some sort of trap or a scheme to let his guard down.

However, given the current situation, he knew that it was favorable for him to take this ‘offer’.

“It is what it is! At worst, I have to give up the throne to them. After all, I have already stayed here long enough. My placement for this trial will surely not be that bad, right?” he mumbled before quickly issuing a new command to his legion.

This time, he ordered them to assist the three from Leonard’s side, taking on the gamble.

…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Right after receiving his command, the entire Legion of Chaotic Sun adjusted their formations and started assisting the trio from the side of the Heavenly Resto-Bar.

It was not noticeable at first since the battles going on throughout the place were already in chaos. They also thought that it was normal for these undead legion to launch an attack at them from time to time, attempting to disturb them, or even take them down.

However, they suddenly realized that this was not the case.

The trio from the Dragon Pavilion immediately noticed that they were purposely being targeted by the legion of undead while avoiding Aoki and Ryoto purposely.

It was also clear that they were assisting the two from the Heavenly Resto-Bar, especially when they were being targeted repeatedly during the most crucial moments.

This was further proven when they saw that none of the undead legion took the initiative to attack Aoki and Ryoto. Some of them even buffed the two, which further strengthened their respective strength.

…

Back to Leonard’s side, he could not help but smirk after sensing the sudden change from the other battlefields.

He felt that all the ‘torture’ (training) that they had given to this guy was worth it. The trauma (lesson) that they gave (taught) Chaotic Luck had made him quite experienced.

Knowing that Chaotic Luck had mostly recognized him, Leonard did not have to worry too much about anything else.

He was sure that Chaotic Luck at least understood that he could take over that throne once the latter could no longer hold it.

Everything should already be under control.

Now, all he had to do was deal with this person before him and forget about anything else.

At the same time, he could not help but feel a bit strange while looking at his opponent. He felt that this guy was quite familiar, especially when he saw that huge box behind them.

The mysterious veil might be shrouding the appearance of everyone, but they could still see their unique features through the opposing side’s silhouette.

That huge box was oddly familiar to him, which felt like something that he had already seen somewhere.

This feeling was further strengthened when he saw the other party take off the giant box from their back and place it on their side like a huge metal pillar.

It was only at that moment that Leonard realized where he had seen such a stance, especially after the latter seemed to have opened that box and taken something out of it.

“Weapon Master Gunner, one of the High Humans like Zero!” he mumbled, immediately recognizing the opposing side due to their unique style.

“Arthur must be fuming right now. This guy is one of the people that he truly wanted to beat repeatedly, especially after that incident,” chuckled Leonard after recognizing his opponent.

“But since I am the one who is on the stage, I can’t afford to slack off, right? Or else, that guy will surely scold me and never hear the end of it,” he added before suddenly bursting with an intense battle hunger.

Boom!

The pressure he was passively emitting rose severalfold, while the mana covering his body transformed into violent crimson lightning.

Crackle! Crackle!

At the same time, he had also taken the initiative to summon his Battle Spirit, which was still in an incomplete form after undergoing a series of mutations due to the additional legacies that he had comprehended.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Regardless, it still took the initial form of a humanoid beast with three heads of a lion.

Shing!

Taking out his pair of war axes, Leonard stood tall and gave the opposing party an inviting gesture, seemingly telling Gunner to make his move first.

Gunner, on the other hand, could not help but squint his eyes further after sensing the sudden change in atmosphere. He could also feel the heavy pressure coming from his opponent, which was further strengthened due to the appearance of the Battle Spirit.

He might not be able to see the appearance of that Battle Spirit clearly, but he could at least tell that this person was much stronger than the regular experts that he had encountered before.

At the very least, he could tell that his current opponent was no weaker than those top gods that he had encountered, who were also said to stand at the peak of the virtual world.

“An Apex God!?” he mumbled with slightly raised brows. “Now, this is going to be a bit more interesting.”
