Child of Destiny

Chapter 1877: Tactics Battle (Part 2)

…

The initial clashes between the two sides intensified with every passing second. Both sides were not holding back with their respective assaults, continuously summoning their army to replenish the fallen ones.

The strategies of the two were somewhat different.

Keir was using a series of random and heavy attacks that resembled the attacks of a monster horde, surrounding and besieging Chaotic Luck and his legion.

Meanwhile, Chaotic Luck was using a somewhat standard strategy that was used to deal with such situations. The difference that his strategy had compared to others was the multi-purpose style that he had.

While defending from all fronts, a few detachments were fighting and diving deeper into the horde of shadow creatures.

There were also those little units that scattered in every direction to scout, gathering information about the opposing forces and the map.

They were also looking for the traces of the opposing party.

Keir was hiding somewhere within the darkness enveloping the entire map, taking advantage of his class and its unique attributes alongside the special features of the map itself.

Chaotic Luck possessed a very large range when controlling his army, which was one of his main advantages over other summoners or necromancers of the game.

Based on his estimate, he should be able to cover the entire map with this advantage, remotely controlling his legion without problem. He doubted that his opponent would be the same.

But he still had to consider the special features of the map, which could be another factor that his opponent could use in this situation.

This was why Chaotic Luck had to extend the range of the search party, hoping to find his opponent as soon as possible.

Keir was also more of a mage player with special abilities to summon the creatures of the shadows. His class was kind of similar to Chaotic Luck’s Solaris Lich, but in a different sense.

However, Chaotic Luck did not think that he would lose in terms of a contest between armies, especially when he believed that his class was far superior.

This belief was not unfounded since his special class was made from the fusion of an ancient inheritance of one of the primogenitors of the necromancer class and a blessing from a mighty ancient goddess.

Along with the confidence that he had gained after what Shin had said earlier, Chaotic Luck disregarded all the useless thoughts and focused on what he could do.

Bang! Bang!

The fire spells continued to fly toward the sky and exploded, illuminating the surroundings for Chaotic Luck.

Not long after, he noticed a strange fluctuation of mana in a certain direction, swiftly attracting his attention.

He swiftly responded, ordering those units hiding in the target to finally start moving, attacking the spot where he sensed the strange mana fluctuation.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Roar!

These units were composed of elite skeleton knights, assassins, and swordsmen. They also maintained a quite strategic yet strong formation as they moved forward, charging strongly and annihilating everything on their path.

…

Seeing the Chaotic Luck’s actions, Shin could not help but smile bitterly and comment. “Still too green.”

Cloe, who was sitting right beside him, could not help but nod her head as well. “Still too inexperienced. He is immediately baited by Keir with a simple trick that usually works against rookies.”

…

“A pity. He is a bit too tense and has gained too much confidence,” David also shook his head in the broadcast.

Miss Bunny also nodded her head, fully agreeing with what he just said. “Having too much confidence can also be a poison for oneself. Adding the invisible pressure provided by the environment and highly focused mind of Chaotic Luck, he has fallen to the most basic trick.”

…

Back in the ongoing battle, the elite unit of Chaotic Luck’s legion finally reached their destination and was immediately greeted by a warm welcome.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Huge monsters made of shadows suddenly crawled out of the ground and started bombarding the skeleton soldiers with powerful strikes. Their large palms and sharp claws covered a huge area, greatly threatening the incoming opponents.

Despite being caught off guard by the sudden ambush, Chaotic Luck was still able to respond, issuing a series of commands for this elite unit.

The skeleton knights immediately sprinted and swiftly overtook the rest of the skeleton soldiers. They then simultaneously organized themselves and formed a defensive formation. They raised their shields, blocking the descending hands of the shadow creatures.

BOOM!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ground caved in due to the powerful impact produced by the collision. The strong shockwaves, on the other hand, sent them to their knees.

Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!

However, before the huge shadow creatures even managed to take advantage of this situation, blazing chains suddenly emerged from the ground. They sent dirt into the air while they were being pulled and before wrapping themselves into the limbs of the shadow creatures.

The skeletal assassins, pulling the blazing chains, circled the shadow creatures to further entangle the chains and prevent the huge bodies of the opposing side from moving freely.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The skeleton swordsmen, on the other hand, swiftly charged forward and immediately launched a series of attacks at the huge body of shadow creatures.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With these exchanges, anyone could tell that Chaotic Luck had suddenly taken the upper hand.

But to those with sharper eyes and more experience, this situation had only put Chaotic Luck in a more vulnerable position.

Boom!

Right on the opposite side of this battlefield, a huge commotion suddenly erupted.

When Chaotic Luck turned his head toward that direction, he saw a massive silhouette barely outlining itself with the light provided by his ‘fireworks’ in the sky.

This colossus did not wait for Chaotic Luck to respond as it quickly leaped into the air, heading straight at where he was located.

Boom!

Swoosh!

Given the massive size of this colossal shadow monster, the formation that was protecting Chaotic Luck would most likely be useless under the might of such a huge monster.

But before it could even reach halfway to its flight, a blazing silhouette suddenly jumped from the middle of the formation surrounding Chaotic Luck, flying straight to the colossal figure in the sky.

Bang!

Swoosh!

A moment later, this blazing silhouette suddenly swung a greatsword that seemed to be made of molten lava, sending a huge flaming crescent at the colossal shadow.

Chaotic Luck’s version of Death Knight, the Hell Pilgrim, had finally made its appearance.

Boom!

The colossal shadow then staggered a little in the air before its forward flight suddenly lost its momentum. It was then forced to stop its advance and exchanged a series of blows with the Hell Pilgrim while descending from the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chaotic Luck might have survived the ambush, but this was just the start of Keir’s series of attacks.

Boom!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

From another direction, a group of shadow pythons suddenly pounced out of the surrounding shadows near Chaotic, launching another ambush.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

These shadow pythons used their massive body to wreak havoc on the defensive formation protecting Chaotic Luck, while a portion of them dashed through the gaps and headed straight at the Solaris Lich.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Unfortunately, before the shadow pythons could even reach their targets, the ground underneath Chaotic Luck exploded.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

Dirt and debris were in the air as four massive skeletal beasts with blazing bodies emerged from the ground and swiftly grabbed the shadow pythons that were trying to attack their master.

These four blazing skeletal beasts tightened the grips of their hands and arms, refusing to let the shadow pythons go.

Right at the stime, Chaotic Luck suddenly threw a series of spells on the shadow pythons, bombarding them with attacks.

Along with the holy and sacred attribute of his fire spells, the pythons were instantly purified, killing them in the process.

He might have survived the series of assaults, but Chaotic Luck did not dare to lower his guard, especially when he knew that he was just a ‘bit’ lucky that he had just finished summoning his Hell Pilgrim when everything happened.

It might look like he had already anticipated the moves of his opponent due to the series of responses that he just made, but it was far from the truth.

Aside from the first responses that he made during the clash with those shadow creatures that launched an ambush on his elite unit, the rest were just a coincidence.

The Hell Pilgrim was just summoned when the Colossal Shadow appeared, which made it look like this version of the death knight of his was waiting for the latter before making its move.

As four skeletal beats, he was planning to make them go underground while heading toward his elite unit and assist them. But who would have thought that shadow pythons were hiding in the shadows of the road he was taking and launched an ambush right after the Colossal Shadow in the air.

While he was trying to catch his breath, Keir made another move.

Under his orders, the horde of shadow monsters maneuvered themselves, seemingly adjusting into battle formation.

Seeing this, Chaotic Luck immediately responded, adjusting his formation as well, especially when it was somewhat disturbed by the earlier attack from the shadow pythons.

But while he was doing that, an intense shiver suddenly assaulted him, almost freezing his entire body.

Without any hesitation, he swiftly slammed the bottom of his staff on the back of the skeletal beasts, where he was standing, and summoned a thick and sturdy blazing barrier.

Boom!

It was only at that moment that a huge shadow suddenly emerged from the ground, resembling a massive mouth of another colossal figure. It swallowed Chaotic Luck along with the four skeletal beasts around him before continuing to leap into the air and revealing its whole appearance.

It was a massive whale made of shadows, slightly smaller than the colossal shadow earlier but much larger than the four skeletal beasts protecting Chaotic Luck.
