Child of Destiny

Shin opens his virtual map before putting a mark on the coordinates that he got from Dark Mystery as he walks out of the Calderock Town.

After that, he went to the dense part of the forest near the town before summoning Whitie and mounting it.

Roar!

Swoosh!

Then Shin orders Whitie to run towards the direction of the indicated coordinates.

Along the way, Shin came across a bunch of level-90 Black Hell Hyenas. But he didn’t put all of those monsters in his eyes anymore. Since aside from these monsters only drop some random materials, he also can’t get any decent experience points from them. The level gap is not that high after all.

And as he gets near the Black Rock Mountain Range, more and more Level-100 and above Hell Gate Hyenas are starting to appear. And he also starting to feel the ’Suppression Auras’ of some superior monsters.

”Halt!”

Shin ordered Whitie to stop before dismounting from the tiger’s back.After that, he summoned Blackie while activating the ’Spirit Release’ of the [Nephilim’s Gemini Mask]

.At the same time.

”Hanzo! Vladimir!”

He also called out his Elemental Spirits. And the current level of these two is Level-104 since they can’t exceed 20 levels more than Shin’s level.

”It has been a while since I feel so restricted like this. I wonder if I can even beat an ordinary monster with this strength.” said Hanzo sarcastically as he checks the amount of power that he can use.

”Tsk, What a weak master. I feel like the amazing awesome me is being contaminated by such a weak host.” said Vladimir with a tone that is full of complaint after being summoned.

Shin releases a helpless sigh before giving out his orders. ”Alright, Alright. Whatever you say. Anyway, there are a lot of monsters ahead and we need to take them down first before we can reach our destination. So just help me out a little.”

”And you can just treat this as some sort of exercise to adjust yourselves with your current strengths. And it is also to prevent some accidents in the future.”

Hanzo stretches his waist lazily while rebutting at Shin. ”Can’t we just do some detour to avoid these guys?”

”Tsk! And isn’t this your fault? If you are just strong enough, then our strengths are not going to become so restricted like this. And I can just flick my fingers and these monsters will explode into a blood mist.” said Vladimir.

”Tsk, How about you guys get on work instead of wasting your time on useless talk.” said Shin before rushing towards the nearest Hell Gate Hyena.

And when the Hyena notice Shin’s presence, it immediately dash towards his direction before pouncing at him when it got on the ideal range.

Shin puts the breaks on his charge with his right foot while having a sword-drawing stance.

Tssh!

At the same time, the sheathed sword glows with a chilling silver light before Shin pulled it out from its sheath and slashing it rightwards.

Shing!

Then a cold sliver crescent sword Qi was sent forward and greet the incoming Hyena.

’Class Fighting Style: Lunar Flash’

Swoosh!

Bang!

-559 734(Slowed)

-2 042(Chilling Damage)

That was a massive amount of damage!

But despite receiving that attack, the Hyena is still falling towards Shin due to the momentum of its charge and pounce.

Roar!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

-100 000

-100 000

-100 000

...

...

-2 042(Chilling Damage)

But before it reaches Shin, a bunch of spears made of blood pierce through the Hyena’s body and force it to fall down from the air while pinning its body on the ground right in front of Shin.

And on that exact moment, when the Hyena was pinned in place, a purple crescent energy wave flew pass above Shin’s head and slice through the monster’s body

Whoosh!

-560 672

’Tsk! These guys’ levels might be restricted because of me, but their battle instincts and standards are still not something that you can laugh at.’ Thought Shin as he swings the blazing [Yamato] downwards, and sending a black flame crescent sword Qi at is front.

’Extra Skill: Flame Burst’

Swoosh!

Bang!

-184 820

-4 020(Burning Damage)

-2 010(Bonus Burning Damage)

Boom!!!

-200 000(Opposing Element Explosion)

And with those string of damages, the Hyena immediately entered a berserk state. But before it managed to do anything, both the Sun and Moon Clones simultaneously pulled their swords from their sheaths and swing it horizontally.

Shing! Shing!

Then an orange-yellow and bluish-white crescent sword waves were release from their swords respectively, and fly towards the Hyena who is about to swing its claws at Shin.

’Class Fighting Style (Sun Clone): Solar Flare’

Bang!

-552 974

-4 020(Burning Damage)

’Class Fighting Style (Moon Clone): Lunar Flash’

Bang!

-555 678(Slowed)

-2 042(Chilling Damage)

Boom!

-200 000(Opposing Element Explosion)

After that, Whitie suddenly jumped from behind Shin and swing its front paws at the Hyena. At the same time, Blackie appeared out of nowhere and also pounce forward while swinging its own paws.

Roar! Roar!

-50 673

-50 556

-50 682

-50 890

Then Shin swiftly swings the [Yamato] horizontally to the right as it releases a silver crescent sword Qi that has a chilling aura.

Swoosh!

’Slayer Skill: Half-Moon Slash’

-92 210(Slowed)

-2 042(Chilling Damage)

And immediately after that, Shin’s right arm suddenly turned into a blur as he swings the [Yamato] five times on his front while focusing them on a single point.

Then a powerful vertical sword wave was sent forward, and cleaving the Hyena’s body into two.

’Slayer Skill: Modified Crescent Cleave’

Swoosh!

-411 050

-2 042(Chilling Damage)

KILLED!

(These moon skills are currently in Rare Rank since Shin is using the [Yamato] now and not the [Twin swords of Dusk and Dawn].)

Roar!

Then the Hyena died just like that as it hasn’t done anything after pouncing at Shin except for its crazy roars.

Then Shin picks up the loots as he ignored the Hyena’s corpse and didn’t bother to harvest any materials from it. He will not get any rare materials from this monster since it is an ordinary monster after all.

Then he looks at the two Elemental Spirits before saying to them. ”Let’s split up, we can kill more monsters that way. You guys can take care of yourselves right?”

”Do you even need to ask? A powerful and amazing Elemental Spirit like me is more than enough to handle myself. And these guys are not even worthy to be called an opponent.” said Vladimir almost instantly. Then he suddenly transformed into a blood mist before flying towards a solitary Hyena.

”Heh! You should worry about yourself instead, Kid.” sneered Hanzo before looking for his target. But before he makes his move he leaves some advice. ”And I guess it is better if let those to tigers do their things. I know that it is good to train them, but it is also beneficial to them if you let them explore theirselves a little, they are natural hunters after all.”

”And you don’t have to worry about them. They can handle themselves as they are a pair of a Sacred Being and a Demonic Beast that have sharp innate battle instincts.”

Then immediately after that, Hanzo suddenly disappeared from his position and reappeared at the back of a Hyena a few distances away.

Those two Elemental Spirits’ levels are a little over one hundred so the shouldn’t have any problem fighting against these monsters, especially with their battle standards. Shin, on the other hand, needs some assistance from his clones.

And before finding his next target, Shin follows Hanzo’s advice and let his tigers hunt on their own. Old ones are more experienced after all, so there is nothing to lose if he follows some suggestions.

Then he sheath his sword once again before rushing towards a Hyena together with the Sun and Moon Clones.

And when the monster saw Shin’s group rushing towards it, it releases a deafening roar before running towards the three.

And with that, the Sun Clone suddenly accelerated forward before brandishing its flaming sword forward and sending a flaming crescent sword wave at the incoming Hyena.

’Extra Skill (Sun Clone): Flame Burst’

Swoosh!

Bang!

-185 672

-4 020(Burning Damage)

-2 010(Bonus Burning Damage)

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Immediately after that, Shin and the Moon Clone suddenly accelerated forward and brushed pass on each side of the Sun Clone as they transformed into a stick of lights while rushing towards the Hyena. And when they are about to pierce through the body of the monster, both of them simultaneously unsheathe their swords before slashing them at the monster.

Shing! Shing!

’Class Fighting Style: Moonlight Splitter’

-703 884

-4 020(Burning Damage)

’Class Fighting Style (Moon Clone): Moonlight Splitter’

-705 208

-4 020(Burning Damage)

If someone looks at it with a bird-eye view, they will see that Shin and the Moon Clone leave an X-shape trail of light behind as they pass through the body of the Hyena.

And with that, the aggro of the Hyena was transferred at the Moon Clone because it is the one that dealt with the highest damage. So, the Hyena forces its body to stop to chase after the clone.

But the moment it turns its body around, Shin and the Moon Clone already enfold their bodies with sword Qis as they rush towards the Hyena once again while thrusting their swords forward.

At the same time, the Sun Clone is doing the same thing on its side.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

’Extra Skill: Sword Rush: Thrusting Dash’

-98 240

-4 020(Burning Damage)

-99 012

-4 020(Burning Damage)

-99 011

-4 020(Burning Damage)

Then the three brushed past each other as they skillfully controlled the course of their charge so that they will not collide with each it while doing the thrusting dash.

But the three are not done yet, because, at the end of their dash, the three of them simultaneously turn their bodies around before dashing at the Hyena once again while swinging their swords at the monster.

’Extra Skill: Sword Rush: Slicing Dash’

-100 012

-4 020(Burning Damage)

-99 312

-4 020(Burning Damage)

-99 901

-4 020(Burning Damage)

The Hyena received a bunch of overlapping burning effects on its body because of those consecutive attacks from Shin and his clones.

So the moment Shin ended his dash, he immediately clicked his left-hand thumb and middle finger, causing the overlapping burning effects to be detonated.

Nephilim’s Racial Trait!

’Mark of Eclipse: Power of the Sun: Ignition and Detonate’

Boom!

-90 467

Roar!

The Hyena release a deafening roar as it falls on the ground because of the bonus effect of the explosion.

The Moon Clone seize that opportunity to throw five consecutive slashes in the air on its front while focusing them on a single point. Then a powerful vertical crescent sword wave was sent flying towards the Hyena who is currently laying on the ground.

’Slayer Skill (Moon Clone): Modified Crescent Cleave’

Swoosh!

-520 782(Critical Damage)(Slowed)

-2 010(Chilling Damage)

Meanwhile, Shin transformed into a stick of silver light that rushes towards the laying Hyena while following closely behind the vertical sword wave.

’Slayer Skill: Moonlight Steps’

Whoosh!

At the same time, then Sun Clone’s body suddenly glows with an orange light before it rushes towards the Hyena.

’Slayer Skill: Sunlight Movement’

Whoosh!

And the moment the vertical sword wave slice through the body of the Hyena, Shin and the Sun Clone are already on its front and back respectively. At the same time, both of them are brandishing their swords downwards.

’Extra Skill: Destructive Slash’

-98 240

-4 020(Burning Damage)

’Extra Skill (Sun Clone): Destructive Slash’

-99 990

-4 020(Burning Damage)

...

-2 010(Chilling Damage)

KILLED!

After that, Shin quickly picked the loots up before taking a rest. Then he shakes his head a little while muttering himself. ”Tsk! High-Leveled monsters are really hard to deal with. I might be able to take these guys down easily with the help of my clones, but they are only ordinary monsters and it already takes most of my skills just to take down two of them.”

”What’s more, Elite Monsters and above are the real challenges. So I better be ready on taking them on.”

Shin and his clones rest a little to wait for his skills to become available again while also waiting to recover some of his MP. And after that, he immediately resumes hunting some monsters.
