Child of Destiny

Whoosh!

Crackle! Crackle!

Daulla reached the peak of the mountain not long after. She swiftly swept her gaze around the surroundings before proceeding to look through the entire map.

She was trying to find any signs of their opponents from this vantage point. She even activated her special version of ocular skill while sweeping her eyes on the map, looking for the traces that could point her toward their opponents.

Whoosh!

Not long after, her eyes finally picked up some signs, particularly after seeing the trances of spirits that were flying through the map.

But what shocked her was the number of spirits that were spreading in every direction and flooding the entire map.

These spirits were either passing through the trees or flying in the air, seemingly filling the map with their spiritual energies and somewhat changing the atmosphere.

From her perspective, Daulla could see that the air within the map was being corrupted by these spirits, which varied in different types. There were Wandering Ghosts, Vengeful Spirits, Dark Specters, Evil Apparitions, and many more.

These spiritual beings were spreading in every direction, spreading their respective corruption everywhere. They also started to affect the entire map with this, slowly transforming the entire place into a ghostly place.

They were slowly transforming the map through their influence.

Seeing that, Daulla suddenly had a bad premonition. She felt that they had to finish this battle as soon as possible before the entire Floating Island truly transformed into a Floating Ghost Island.

Before she could even inform Archimedes of her findings, her perception suddenly picked up a signal of a rapidly approaching presence.

Swoosh!

Turning her gaze toward the source of that presence, she saw a dark cloud made by dark spirits spiraling around one another.

At the center of this spiraling ghost cloud, she saw an individual riding a huge scythe and flying straight to her.

Shriek! Shriek!

She was about to cast a spell when her ears were suddenly assaulted by eerie and loud cries of evil spirits, breaking her concentration.

“Urgh!”

Realizing what was happening, Daulla swiftly raised her staff, casting Blink a couple of times to further distance herself away from the incoming opponent.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

She was able to create enough distance, escaping the most effective range of the ghost cries. She quickly regained herself and waved her staff while chanting a series of magic words.

Crackle! Crackle!

Immediately after, lightning arcs suddenly appeared and danced around her. They formed an electric ring that surrounded her before spreading outwards.

‘Electromancer Spell: Lighting Circle’

Swoosh!

Crackle! Crackle!

Lightning was one of the banes of ghost-type and evil-type creatures, which was why any form of attack made by such an element was highly effective.

Due to the lightning circle, the deadly ghost and evil spirits that were rushing toward Daulla were unable to reach her, with some of them even getting annihilated in the process.

Shriek! Shriek!

These ghosts and spirits turned into dust right after the lightning circle touched them, purifying them.

But despite that being the chase, more evil spirits and ghosts swarmed at the lightning mage from every direction. They seemed to be planning to flood Daulla, overwhelming her with their sheer number.

Wail! Wail!

The eerie cries also assaulted Daulla, attempting to break her concentration and preventing her from casting any advanced spells.

However, Daulla was not caught off guard this time. She immediately cast a mind-cleansing and boosting spell that enhanced her mentality.

Hu~!

Inhaling deeply, she swiftly waved her staff and free hand while also chanting a series of magical syllables.

She was doing triple casting, summoning three magic circles behind her that represented each of the spells that she was casting.

She did not stop there and fused the three magic circles, forming a whole different spell.

Crackle! Crackle!

Lightning danced in the clouds along with the loud clap of thunder.

Boom!

Not long after, a flash of lightning suddenly fell from the high heavens and struck the spot where Daulla stood along the wide area around her.

‘Electro Magister (Tier 2): Judgement Strike’

Boom!

A blinding light suddenly illuminated the entire mountain peak as the lightning struck.

At the same time, the surrounding evil spirits and ghosts that were swarming toward Daulla from every direction immediately dissipated, getting purified by the lightning.

The lightning continued to strike the mountain peak for a whole minute, preventing any evil spirits and ghosts from approaching it.

When everything settled down and the mountain peak returned to its original state, everyone could see that Daulla maintained her stance while an array of magic circles appeared behind him, forming a very advanced magic formation.

Pointing her staff forward, she suddenly chanted. “Judgement!”

Boom!

Immediately after she chanted out that word, the advanced magic formation behind her was suddenly activated, shining brightly before firing out a beam of lightning.

‘Electro Magister (Tier 2): Forbidden Spell – Calamity Strike’

Whoosh!

The lightning beam flew straight to the dark cloud that was still flying at her at a steady speed.

Odium, who was riding his scythe within the dark cloud, suddenly leaped forward. He extended his hand midair, grabbing the scythe that chased after him, before suddenly swinging it with all his might.

Swoosh!

But instead of sending a powerful strike to meet the incoming lightning beam, his scythe slashed through the space and created a huge dimensional fracture in it.

Shriek! Shriek!

This dimensional fracture seemed to be connected to another dimension where evil spirits and ghosts resided.

‘Forbidden Exorcist Skill (Tier 2): Evil Summoning – Gates of Hell’

Wail! Wail!

Eerie cries suddenly came out from the other side of the dimensional fracture and immediately reverberated throughout the mountain.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, evil spirits suddenly started flooding out from the dimensional fracture and strongly clashed against the incoming lightning beam.

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The initial collisions produced a massive explosion followed by smaller ones that repeatedly reverberated in the mountain peak.

The huge number of evil spirits and ghosts that were flooding out of the dimensional fracture fearlessly dived into the incoming lightning beam, exhausting its powers.

When the dimensional fracture was finally closed by the space and sealed off the gates that connected to another dimension, the lightning beam had finally dissipated.

Whoosh!

Immediately after, Odium suddenly jumped out of the dark cluster that had unknowingly appeared behind Daulla.

Shing!

He tightly grabbed his huge scythe before suddenly swinging it forward, cutting through the air and sending a barrage of shadow energy toward the lightning mage.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Daulla immediately sensed the incoming attack, so she quickly augmented her body with lightning energy before casting a movement spell.

Whoosh!

Crackle! Crackle!

She suddenly transformed into a series of lightning arcs that flew throughout the mountain peak, dodging the shadow cuts that were chasing after her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

When her lightning buff was finally exhausted, evil spirits suddenly pounced at her, grabbing onto her legs and arms. They clung to her body, preventing her from doing anything.

But despite her dangerous predicament, Daulla kept her calm and focused her mind. Her eyes then suddenly emitted a blinding light, with electric traces visible within them.

Boom!

Not long after, an intense light suddenly erupted from her body, along with the intense lightning storm that annihilated the evil spirits clinging to her.

But right after she freed herself, she was immediately attacked by Odium, who was already right in front of her and strongly swinging his huge scythe at her.

Shing!

Daulla felt like the time had suddenly slowed down as she helplessly watched the briskly approaching and rapidly magnifying scythe before her eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

But before that deadly strike could even reach its target, Odium suddenly sensed an incoming hail of arrows swiftly flying toward him. They were targeting his head, arms, and legs with extreme precision, forcing him to abandon his initial plan.

He immediately stopped and swiftly retreated, dodging away from the hail of arrows.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The arrows hit the ground before Daulla, saving her at the most crucial moment.

She then swiftly responded and distanced herself from the Odium as much as possible, afraid that she would fall into another trap.

In the meantime, Archimedes, who had fired those arrows from the sky, immediately nocked another batch of arrows in his bow. He was planning to press their advantage to put more pressure on Odium.

“Hi~! There~!”

But before he could even proceed with his plans, his eyes suddenly contracted when he heard a soft voice coming behind.

He quickly responded, flapping his wings hard and distancing himself away from that spot, before swiftly turning around and immediately firing his arrows toward the source of the earlier voice.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

But the arrows were suddenly blocked by a huge palm of a giant spirit, protecting its master.

“That’s quite rude, don’t you think?” said Amor as she was revealed behind the giant spirit.

She was currently sitting on the shoulder of the giant spirit quite leisurely and swinging her legs playfully.

She gave Archimedes a seductive and playful smile before saying. “Let me play with you for a moment. I’ve brought quite a few toys with me just for this match~!”
