Child of Destiny

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Archimedes continued to execute a series of aerial maneuvers while preventing the ghost and spirit army from catching him, continuously firing a series of powerful shots and sharp feathers in the process.

A moment later, his eyes could not help but contract a little as he suddenly found out that he had lost track of Amor. His senses were unable to find her, even with the help of his enhanced eyesight that could cover a larger area and see quite far.

His senses could also feel that something dark and eerie was looming in the surroundings, waiting for the right time to act and catch him off guard.

A moment later, an immense killing intent suddenly assaulted him from every direction.

The sudden assault of the killing intent affected him to a certain degree, making his reflexes act a bit slower.

But he was still able to respond in time, almost locking on the source of the killing intent in an instant.

Shriek! Shriek!

But before he could even raise his bow and fire the arrow nock in it, the surrounding ghosts and spirits simultaneously opened their mouths and released their deafening cries that resonated with one another.

This made Archimedes’ movements a bit sluggish, making it hard to raise his arms.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Right at the same time, a huge evil spirit suddenly manifested behind Archimedes, resembling the upper body of a skeletal giant.

Roar!

It was wielding a huge spiritual sword that blazed with dark and corrupted mana before swinging it down with all its might.

Shing!

The expression on Archimedes’ face turned a little, but it was not serious enough to make him feel trapped.

The wings on his back suddenly spread wide and shone with a blinding light, illuminating the sky.

Zong~! Long~! Long~!

Then everyone saw a huge apparition of a spiritual creature that seemed to be a hybrid of a majestic eagle and an intelligent owl. It slowly and gently flapped its wings while descending toward Archimedes’ body and fusing with him.

Boom!

A strong shockwave first erupted and pushed all the surrounding ghosts and spirits that were swarming from every direction and freezing the movements of the huge skeletal spirit.

Swoosh!

Then, a streak of silver light suddenly flew out from the center of that explosion and flew straight to the mountain below instead of entangling itself against the army of ghosts and spirits in the sky.

At the same time, he started firing a series of shots at the peak of the mountain.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

At that time, Daulla was doing her best to battle against Odium could not help but feel threatened by the opposing side.

The skills and techniques of Odium were so weird and strange that she found it hard to deal with. They were almost catching her in awkward positions, making it harder for her to counter.

At the same time, the ghostly and eerie cries that were produced by each of his strikes were too disturbing, causing her to be unable to concentrate when casting her spells.

If not for the lightning attribute of her class, she would find it harder to fight. She might even have lost already if not for the tricks that she had learned from Alice and Cloe when utilizing her mana manipulation technique and spells to their fullest potential.

But despite it being the case, she still felt that she was always walking on a tight rope, especially when Odium was always pushing her into a corner.

She was always close to getting caught by Odium’s tight pursuit, putting quite a lot of pressure on her. But she was still able to maintain her calm and steadily responded to every situation she was thrown into.

It was at this moment that she suddenly sensed the change in the atmosphere, feeling that the air had turned cold while the mana filling it became harder to control.

“The birdman is much harder to deal with than I had expected. I wonder if this girl also has quite a few cards in her.”

Amor’s voice suddenly rang behind Daulla while she was running away from Odium.

Daulla did not even think twice when she heard the other party’s voice and swiftly cast a series of Blinks, distancing herself away from the latter as much as she could.

She had covered quite a lot of distance with those Blinks and other movement spells that got augmented by her lightning magic, but she could not help but pause for a moment when a sudden shudder assaulted her body.

Right after her body materialized at a distance, she felt that someone had suddenly hugged her from behind, wrapping their arms around her body.

“Don’t be shy. Big Sister will teach you how to be a proper woman,” said Amor as she placed her chin on Daulla’s shoulder, whispering to the latter’s ears.

Crackle! Crackle!

But before Amor could even do anything else, a flash of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, descending in their direction.

Boom!

Amor did not even think twice as she swiftly distanced herself away from Daulla, barely getting away from the effective range of the lightning strike.

“Tsk! What a shy girl,” Amor pouted her lips a little right after escaping from the lightning strike before suddenly making a snap with her fingers.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Not long after, totem after totem suddenly appeared, surrounding Daulla and trapping her with a formation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

But before the formation could even fully form, a barrage of arrows suddenly came pouring down from the sky, hitting all the totems and destroying their connection.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seeing that, Amor could not help but raise her brows a little before looking at the sky. “Eh~!? He has escaped already!?”

She then saw the swarm of evil ghosts and vengeful spirits still chasing after Archimedes in the sky, while the latter ignored them completely after creating a huge distance away from them.

“He is quite decisive, I guess,” she pursed her lips a little, realizing what just happened.

Whoosh!

It was only at this moment that Odium appeared beside her and asked. “Have you gotten all the information that you want?”

Amor slightly nodded without casting her eyes away from Archimedes. “I thought I had, but I guess there is still a lot to learn from that birdman.”

“It seems like he has digested quite a huge portion of the inheritance than we have expected,” she added after seeing the silver light that was covering Archimedes’ body.

“So, what is the plan?” asked Odium with a slight frown.

“Then I guess we are going with the standard method,” said Amor after thinking for a moment.

“Tsk! We should have done it from the start, then,” complained Odium a little before casting his gaze at Archimedes.

“We will leave that guy for now. It will be a bit troublesome to deal with him in his current state. Let’s take care of the lightning mage first,” said Amor as he finally turned her gaze toward Daulla.

“On it~!” said Odium as he swiftly charged forward while dragging his huge scythe behind.

Bang!

Swoosh!

He suddenly transformed into a shadow that was swiftly traversing the distance between him and Daulla, who was already preparing her spell.

Daulla suddenly slammed the staff into the ground, sending strong ripples outwards along with dancing lightning arcs around her.

Boom!

Odium tried to break through the lightning storm along with the surrounding evil spirits that he just summoned and transformed into protective armor.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unfortunately, the lightning storm was much stronger than he had expected, particularly the purifying powers that it possessed.

From the look of it, she had buffed herself with more advanced spells that boosted her elemental prowess.

Fortunately, his current job was to attract her attention while leaving the rest to his twin sister.

Shriek! Shriek!

Right after Odium had attracted most of the offensive prowess of the lightning storm, multiple groups of evil ghosts and vengeful spirits suddenly started attacking Daulla from every direction.

If it were before, Daulla would panic a little, especially with the huge number of spirits and ghosts swarming around her from every direction.

Fortunately, she only needed to focus on what was in front of her while leaving the rest to Archimedes, whom she trusted the most.

Crackle! Crackle!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Boom!

While she was dealing with the swarm of evil ghosts and vengeful spirits before her with a series of lightning spells, the ones behind her were immediately bombarded by a hail of magic-enchanted arrows from the sky.

Despite being chased by a huge army of ghosts and spirits in the sky, Archimedes still found time to provide enough cover for Daulla, relieving some of the pressure from her shoulders.

But Amor seemed to have already expected this to happen, choosing not to fully trust her army.

She gently extended her hand forward, calling a huge portion of the army of ghosts and spirits.

Shriek! Shriek!

Not long after, all the evil ghosts and vengeful spirits that rushed toward her suddenly transformed into a cluster of dark energy before gathering toward her hand.

They then turned into a bunch of paper talismans with incomprehensible runes written on them.

Armor closed her eyes after gently grabbing those talismans, channeling more of her mana into them. She then suddenly threw and scattered them in the air, flying in every direction.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A couple of moments later, the entire Floating Island was suddenly shrouded in dark and eerie fog, seemingly transforming the entire map into a new one.
