Child of Destiny

…

ROAR!

When the roars of the three monsters reverberated with one another and the attacks were about to reach Ashura, the latter had already stabilized his stance and swiftly responded to the moves of the opposing side.

He stabbed the divine spear on the ground and let it go before holding the ruler sword with both of his hands upside-down.

He then kneeled while plunging the ruler sword into the ground.

Bang!

Swoosh!

Immediately after, a huge apparition of an angelic knight suddenly appeared behind him before slowly merging with his body while its six wings slowly folded and wrapped around him to form a seeming feather ball.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

’Golden Immortal Skill: The Angelic Embrace’

It was only at that moment that the three attacks arrived, barely getting blocked.

BOOM!

Leonard, who was the closest, could not help but frown deeply after seeing that their attacks were easily blocked despite them carrying immense power.

But despite his confusion, he swiftly retreated right after seeing that their attacks were ineffective.

Staying close to his current health bar was too dangerous for him.

Whoosh!

In the meantime, Arthur could not help but click his tongue in response. “This guy does have quite a lot of powerful skills and abilities.”

“Obviously!” said Shin with a mocking tone. “That guy’s stats are way ahead of us. He is equivalent to a Level 200 Lord Rank Monster at the very least.”

“And it is freaking at Awakening Continent’s standards!” added Arthur.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

They might look like they were casually chatting, but they never stopped moving and continued with their assault.

Bang! Bang!

Ashura was immediately bombarded with a series of assaults from the trio right after the duration of his earlier barrier ended.

He engaged them with intense exchanges. Even if the three were coordinating well with their series of attacks and attacking him with insane ferocity, he was still able to keep up with them and match their pace.

He was taking advantage of the massive difference in stats and overwhelming gap when it came to their respective abilities and skills.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The exchanges might look a bit short, but they were so intense that the people watching the match could not help but hold their breath and be on the edge of their seats.

Moreover, most of these exchanges were extremely fast. Even if there were only a couple of minutes since the two sides started clashing against one another, the number of exchanges that they made had already surpassed most of the audience’s expectations.

Explosions were everywhere while different forms of power flew in every direction, displaying a stunning sight for everyone’s eyes to feast on.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The four flew across the battlefield, sometimes transforming into streaks of light while other times appearing before everyone’s eyes to enjoy their intense exchanges.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Swoosh!

Ashura swiftly retreated after dodging a powerful attack from Arthur.

Whoosh!

He was about to launch a counterattack when a zooming sound came from his side. “Tsk!”

He did not have to guess to know who it was since there was only a single person who would move in such a crude and barbaric way.

Whoosh!

Turning his head, he saw Leonard charging at him like a bullet train with his arms crossed before his face, while a massive crimson aura covered his body, which swiftly turned into a huge apparition of a ferocious lion.

Roar!

Ashura tightened his grip over the ruler sword in his right hand, holding it diagonally before him and using its surface to block the incoming attack.

Boom!

An energy wall was erected and collided against the lion, forcing him to stay in place, just holding his ground.

Whoosh!

Shin then appeared on the other side and swung his sword while charging forward.

Ashura then raised the divine spear in his left hand and pointed it at the incoming opponent while channeling a massive amount of power on its tip, which swiftly turned into a sphere of light.

Boom!

Immediately after, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the tip of the spear, flying straight to Shin.

Shing!

Shin cut through the beam of light, but he was immediately greeted by a pointed spear thrusting straight to his face.

Clang!

However, before that spear could even pierce the center of his head, Arthur suddenly appeared between them and used his shield to block the sudden stab.

Shin, who was behind Arthur and about to collide with him, suddenly turned translucent and illusory before passing through the latter’s body and continuing to fly forward.

’Slayer Skill: (Modified) Moonlight Steps’

Whoosh!

Right after, he threw a series of slashes at Ashura, who was still trying to recover from the previous deflection of his spear.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

However, Shin had hit was nothing but an afterimage left behind by Ashura while the latter’s real body appeared in the distance.

But Leonard seemed to have already expected it, appearing above Ashura almost at the same time.

Swoosh!

He widened his body, joining his hands together before hammering them down with all his might.

Crackle!

Crimson lightning appeared in the sky and struck down alongside Leonard’s actions, striking at Ashura.

Boom!

Unfortunately, Ashura was still able to escape from that attack and continued his retreat while preparing a powerful move.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, Shin and Arthur were constantly chasing after him, preventing him from gathering more energy. They repeatedly interrupted him at the most crucial moments while Leonard continued with his relentless and continuous assaults.

Sometimes, it was either Shin or Arthur who took the initiative to take on the role of the assaulter, while Leonard and the remaining one would be taking the supporting role and providing assistance.

The three shifted their roles quite skillfully without even communicating with one another. They just continued their assaults, coordinating with one another in absolute perfection.

Even though the Ashura were supposed to have an absolute advantage in terms of stats and abilities, these three managed to bridge the gap with their teamwork, which also amplified their respective abilities to a certain degree.

Ashura understood him well and knew that he had to do something about it, especially when he had already spent almost half the duration that he could last with this overwhelming power he currently had.

“I have to separate at least one of them to break this link they have,” mumbling these words, he locked gaze with Leonard.

“I have to break free from this battle on the ground,” he said to himself while looking for a way from the continuous and relentless attacks from the three.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A few moments later, he finally found a breakpoint that he could use to escape the continuous cycle of assaults from the opposing side and swiftly flew toward the sky.

Whoosh!

Understanding the plan that Ashura had, the three quickly responded.

Whoosh!

Shin immediately gave chase, preventing Ashura from flying high enough.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They were entangled in a series of intense exchanges in the air, clashing with one another in the form of lights.

In the meantime, Leonard ran straight to Arthur, who was already taking a defensive stance to welcome him.

Arthur raised his shield before him and inclined it slightly upwards while squatting his hips, getting ready to receive Leonard.

Whoosh!

Leonard then leaped forward and stepped into the shield, using it as some sort of platform.

“Hah!”

Arthur then put all his strength into his arms before swinging the shield upwards, while Leonard used that force to amplify his jumping power.

Boom!

Leonard flew in the air like a rocket, chasing after Shin and Ashura, who were still clashing against one another.

Swoosh!

Ashura immediately sensed the incoming opponent and swiftly adjusted his flight route to avoid the trajectory of Leonard.

Their plan seemed to be good, but it would hurt Leonard’s mobility by a great margin. His impact in aerial battle should not be as strong when they were fighting on the ground.

Boom!

Ashura managed to dodge Leonard’s attack with simple movements, letting the latter fly past him and continue flying upwards.

Whoosh!

But at the same time, Shin appeared on Leonard’s path and received the latter’s extended arm. He then spun midair to follow the path that Leonard was taking and avoid losing the momentum that the latter had.

With this spin, he generated a much stronger momentum before ’throwing’ Leonard straight to Ashura once again.

Whoosh!

Ashura had just turned when he saw Leonard flying straight to him once again, making the corner of his mouth twitch. “These guys sure are creative.”

Bang!

Blocking Leonard’s drop kick with the surface of his ruler sword, Ashura sent the latter back higher in the air before preparing to finish him with a powerful move.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

However, Shin and Arthur came at the right time, interrupting him once again.

Bang! Bang!

However, unlike on the ground, Ashura had more mobility in the air and had better choices for his moves since he knew that Leonard would not be able to instantly follow up with these two.

Whoosh!

With a wave of his divine spear, a bunch of energy spears fanned out behind him and sent them toward Leonard while he entangled with Shin and Arthur in another round of intense exchanges.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Sensing the incoming spears, Leonard swiftly adjusted himself in the air. He then raised both his arms high while making his muscles bulge as he put his strength into them.

He then suddenly swung them downwards, producing a strong shockwave that suddenly spread in every direction and delayed the incoming spears. It also sent him upwards, dodging away from the spears’ trajectory.

Boom!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Shin’s ’Mondi’s Jump’ had inspired him to do this thing, but it was not enough to fully escape his current situation.

However, it was also quite enough to put more pressure on Ashura, especially when Shin and Arthur took turns to ’juggle’ him in the air to participate in the aerial battle.

As for the spectators of the match, they could not help but stare blankly at the scene, agape and unable to explain how they were feeling.

“You can also do that?”

“D*mn! That’s crazy!”

“Is it not enough for them to be more powerful than us? They are even doing all sorts of impossible things!”
