Child of Destiny

”Let’s dance!” said Haowin while grinning from ear to ear as looked at the group of Elemental Spirits who took their Elemental Transformation.

After that, he did an inviting gesture with his hand, as if he was provoking the group. And when the group saw that, they immediately made their moves.

It doesn’t matter if Haowin was currently flying up in the air, the group immediately used their respective flying abilities and charged straight at him.

The first ones to arrive were the trio of Blackie, Grimrace, and Vladimir. Setting aside the space teleportation abilities of Hanzo, these three were the ones who had the fastest speed among the group.

Just like earlier, the trio did a coordinated attack at Haowin in the fastest way possible. But despite their insane speed and fast-paced attacking rate, the latter was still able to respond to each of their movements and either dodged or blocked each of their strikes.

From time to time, Haowin was also moving rapidly backward so that he could create enough distance between him and the trio which was also giving him enough space to oversee what the other Elemental Spirits were doing.

In the distance, he saw Hanzo and Solus who were preparing for another attack.

Hanzo held his double-headed halberd in front of his chest horizontally while gathering a large amount of Elemental energy on it. A few moments later, he suddenly swung his weapon in a diagonal fashion and powerful manner.

’Elemental Spirit Skill (Void): Dimensional Rending’

Shing!

At first, nothing happened when he swung his weapon. But when the trio in front of Haowin coordinated with Hanzo’s move and moved away from his line of sight, a crack suddenly appeared in the space in front of the Void Spirit and extended all the way to their opponent.

Crack!

Haowin’s body was split into halves when the spatial tear passed through him. But instead of dying on the spot, his body reattached itself and regenerated its wounds, returning it to its original state.

But right after he healed his wounds, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Solus waving her hands in front of her as if she was conducting an orchestra with those hand gestures. And while she was doing that, a group of magical circles was rotating rapidly behind her before sending out a barrage of energy beams that flew straight at Haowin with tricky trajectories.

’Elemental Spirit Skill (Fire): Solar Symphony’

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Haowin wanted to dodge the incoming beams of light but he currently couldn’t move his body due to that regeneration skill that he just used. So, all he could do was to use another defensive skill even though it would weaken him for a short period of time.

Whoosh!

Then an energy field was released from Haowin’s body before transforming into a double-layered spherical barrier that was going to protect him from the incoming beams of light.

’Demon Lord’s Servant Skill (Tier 2): Demonic Pulse’

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The first layer of that barrier immediately collapsed when it was bombarded by the beams sent by Solus earlier.

But right after breaking through the first layer, the beams of light were unable to penetrate the second layer waiting underneath it.

Boom!

Regardless, continuous explosions bombarded the barrier protecting Haowin which created yet another cloud of smoke due to the consecutive explosion created by the collision of powers.

Roar!

When the bombardment stopped, Haowin immediately released a deafening roar while spreading his arms and wings powerfully which sent a strong shockwave outward. And because of that, the cloud of smoke surrounding him was immediately swept away by the strong current of wind that appeared alongside the shockwave that he created.

But right after he cleared the area, he was immediately greeted by Whitie who was floating right in front of him and currently preparing to throw his glowing fist on Haowin’s face.

’Elemental Spirit Skill (Light): Royal Punishment’

Bang!

And before Haowin could even react to that, Whitie immediately swung his fist powerfully and sent the former straight to the ground with a loud sound.

Boom!

In there, Haowin was still able to hold his ground and stand on his place straight despite being hit by that powerful punch directly and receiving all of the force behind him. The ground beneath him even formed a huge crater when his feet came in contact with it.

”Fighting these creatures sure are troublesome,” muttered Haowin while relieving all of the stress that his body received from the previous impact.

But while he was doing that, he suddenly sensed something and quickly raised his head to sweep his gaze on his surroundings. And that was when he discovered that he was now being surrounded by the group who were preparing their respective strongest skills with their current strength.

Hanzo pulled his weapon backward while accumulating all of his Elemental Mana on it. A moment later, he suddenly charged forward and entered the astral plane for a brief moment while swinging his double-headed halberd in the process.

Shing!

And when he appeared on the physical world once again, a spatial tear seemed to be formed along the path that he took which also created a long trail of purple light that suddenly appeared alongside his re-appearance, connecting his starting point and current location.

’Elemental Spirit Skill (Void): Astral Step’

At the same time, Vladimir opened his left hand widely, showcasing his razor-sharp and steel-like fingernails. Then he swung his left arm powerfully and sent an energy wave that looked like a claw of a demon who came from the depths of hell – especially with the strange and eerie wailing sounds accompanying it.

’Elemental Spirit Skill (Blood): Claws of Asura’

Roar!

On the other hand, Grimrace spread his arms outwards and summoned a large group of shadow daggers floating around him. After a slight pause in his breathing, he suddenly swung both of his arms forward, commanding all of the daggers to fly straight at Haowin with unimaginable speed.

’Elemental Spirit Skill (Shadow): Shadow Carnival’

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Meanwhile, Solus was currently floating up in the air while pointing her finger at the sky. A moment later, a phoenix suddenly formed behind her while spreading her blazing wings outwards.

After that, she pointed her finger towards the ground where Haowin was currently located and ordered the phoenix to attack him. And complying with her order, the phoenix drew a beautiful arc in the air before diving down towards the ground with unimaginable speed.

’Elemental Spirit Skill (Fire): Dawn’

Shriek!

Alongside all of those attacks, Blackie also coordinated with the group and used her strongest skill that she could use with her current strength.

First, she crossed her arms in front of her while spreading her bat wings outwards. She then lowered her hips and leaned her body a little forward, getting ready to take a sudden charge at any given moment.

A moment later, her claws suddenly set ablaze with a shadowy flame that was giving a cold aura. After that, she suddenly disappeared from her spot as a group of phantoms appeared around Haowin which immediately assaulted him from different directions.

’Elemental Spirit Skill (Darkness): Doom Verdict’

Whitie was not lagging behind the group either as immediately stomped his foot on the ground and quickly took a Martial-artist’s stance the moment he fell back from the air. His right hand was currently lowered beside his waist as clenched it into a fist.

A moment later, he absorbed all of the sacred mana that he could find in the air before gathering them on his fist. And when the accumulation of energy reached its peak, he suddenly took a forward step with his right foot while thrusting his fist forward alongside it.

Boom!

And that was when a golden beam of light was released from his fist which was also much stronger compared to the previous energy that he created earlier.

’Elemental Spirit Skill (Light): Sacred Retribution’

BOOM!

All of those attacks landed on Haowin simultaneously, not giving him any time to react. All he could do was stand on his ground and wait for all of them to land at him.

And given how destructive those attacks were, it was not hard to imagine for anyone to imagine what was going to happen to the guy who was unfortunate enough to get hit by them. Especially if they saw what kind of calamity was currently happening right now; it was as if the end of the world was currently taking place at this point in time.

And alongside all of this, there was a guy who was clueless about a system notification that he received due to how focused he was on his current battle.

*Ding!*
