Child of Destiny

Chapter 1903: The Battle for the Crown (Part 7)

......

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions erupted consecutively within the city as the battle between both sides was escalating to a higher degree.

Houses and other buildings collapsed one after another under the bombardment of these explosions, further changing the structure of the city’s interior.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

During these exchanges, the side where Shin and Arthur were fighting reached a whole other level of destruction due to the powerful attacks that they were throwing.

In response, Kallavan and Vulture had no choice but to pick up the pace and exchanged an even stronger series of attacks to match their opposition.

During these exchanges, Kallavan further enhanced his connection with the formation covering the entire city for a stronger power to match the combination of Arthur and his golden dragon pet.

At the stime, Vulture was forced to also activate his connection with this massive magic formation just to keep up with the pace of the battle.

On top of that, he also needed to keep up with Shin, particularly in terms of speed.

Shin was shifting between three elements in this battle, which were the Primordial Lightning, the Void Power, and the Psychic Shadow.

Each elemental power possessed unique characteristics that could be used in different situations.

The Primordial Lightning focused more on speed, which was approaching the limits of speed within the game. There were also the explosive and destructive attributes that enhanced his attacks.

The Void Power manipulated space, which Shin could use to teleport to different places alongside a strong ability to tear through space. If the Primordial Lightning possessed an explosive and destructive force when used to attack, then Void Power could have a penetrative effect that could pierce and tear through most defenses.

Meanwhile, the Psychic Shadow was more of a utility-type power. With this power, Shin was able to manipulate the surrounding shadows and create a veil that could hide his presence and enter stealth.

These shadow powers were a bit different from the ones that Diablo controlled, but also shared common characteristics. However, their offensive properties differed quite a lot since they focused on different areas.

The offensive properties of Shin’s Psychic Shadow focused more on mental attacks, which he could combine with most of his other attacks. Coupled with his Demonic Telekinesis, Shin could also use a lot of varieties when it cto this area.

Moreover, he could also use the surrounding shadows to appear in different places, jumping from one shadow to another.

By shifting between these three elemental powers, he was able to make his opponent quite dizzy.

Dealing with insane speed, instantaneous teleportation, and stealth was more than what most people could handle.

If Vulture did not activate his connection with the magic formation, then keeping up with Shin would be quite a disaster.

His main style was creating an opening and taking advantage of the opportunities in chaotic battle, so it was quite hard to match Shin with it.

However, it was much better than leaving to handle Shin since his style focused more on offensive strikes and destructive powers.

Catching up to Shin, who possessed a lot of means to move around the battlefield, would be a disaster for him, who favored frontal confrontations.

Aside from this, the complex attack patterns of Shin’s style also countered such a direct style from Dio, only making it more dangerous for him in a prolonged battle.

Moreover, Shin was also a Battle Genius who was constantly improving throughout the battle. Dealing with someone who specialized in frontal confrontation was something he would like to deal with the most.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With this state of battle, Kallavan slowly retreated toward the innermost part of the city, nearing the castle.

During these last few exchanges, he was mainly dealing with the combined attacks of Arthur and the golden dragon while also soaking sof the attacks from Shin from tto time.

Fortunately, his defenses were strong enough to handle the attacks from these monsters, which were provided by his enhanced abilities.

Vulture then assisted him by launching a series of ambushes against Shin and Arthur, taking advantage of the chaos.

...

In the meantime, the situation on the other front of the battlefield was in a similarly destructive and hectic state.

However, the situation was in a bit of the flip side compared to the other side of the city.

On this side, it was Leonard who was dealing with the combined attacks of Susanoo and Dio, who were not holding back on their offensive.

In response, Leonard was getting crazier in his attacks, fighting fire with fire. He was launching a barrage of destructive attacks one after another, warding off the combination and coordinated attacks from the opposing side.

Amid these chaotic exchanges, Diablo was taking advantage of the chaos to launch a series of ambushes much like what Vulture was doing on the other side of the battlefield.

During this time, Susanoo and were also slowly but steadily retreating toward the innermost part of the city.

They planned to regroup with the rest of the team, especially after receiving a signal from Ashura, indicating that they had completed all the preparations.

...

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not long after, the battle from both sides finally converged and reached the vicinity of the castle right at the heart of the city.

Shin and the others already suspected what the opposing side was planning, but they did not stop them since that was their plan anyway.

Moreover, the other three from their team had also reached the city gates. They were sprinting toward the center of the city with the best of their abilities, making this an all-out battle.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Right after the two battlefields converged, both sides swiftly formed a battle line, preparing for an even more intense battle.

Whoosh!

Kallavan, Susanoo, and swiftly went into a battle formation, creating a wall with triple frontline fighters while Vulture quickly entered stealth, hiding in the darkness and waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Individually, might not be as powerful as the monsters from the opposing side. But if he added his strength with the rest of the team, then he would be able to perform much better and showcase his worth in a team battle.

On the other side, Shin and the others did not care about forming a standard battle formation. Given that the Monster Twere very familiar with one another, such formations were nothing but simple tricks that would only get in their way when fighting.

Instead, they preferred following their instincts and understanding with one another, maintaining their rhythm and keeping their style so that they could naturally connect with each other’s.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The three swiftly charged forward, maintaining their respective momentum, while Diablo also entered stealth and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Bang!

Reaching the ideal range for attack, Arthur and Shin stomped into the ground to halt his charge and leaped into the air while assuming a sword-drawing stance midair, respectively.

Swoosh!

Channeling a huge amount of Dragon Power toward the golden spear, Arthur assumed a spear-throwing stance.

A huge image of a golden dragon immediately manifested behind him in the process before fusing with the spear while Arthur threw it forward.

Roar!

The spear then transformed into a huge energy dragon that opened its mouth wide and launched itself toward the castle.

’True Nine Dragon Arts: Golden Dragon Soars Through the Heavens’

Roar!

Swoosh!

At the stime, Shin, who was currently suspended in the air, suddenly unsheathed the [Yamato] and swung it forward while releasing a huge amount of Primordial Eclipse Power into it.

Click!

’Jade Kirin Scripture: Quick Draw (Lightning) – Eclipse Dragon Draw’

Shing!

Immediately after, an energy dragon made of black-and-white lightning was suddenly formed and quickly flew straight to the castle in the distance, carrying an unstoppable momentum and overwhelming power.

Roar!

The golden dragon and black-and-white dragon flew together before intertwining midflight, executing a spiral dragon dance as they continued to advance.

Roar!

On the receiving end, the members of God’s Paradise could not help but wear serious expressions as they witnessed Shin and Arthur execute an impromptu combination technique with ease.

"These monsters!"

"This is going to hurt!"

The tquickly moves, executing a combination technique of their own.

Susanoo swung his sword and summoned a violent storm of wind and lightning while Kallavan channeled his powers, filling the surroundings with vibrating force and chaotic mana fluctuations.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Amid all these, threw a spear made of dark energy, which he channeled with a huge portion of mana.

Swoosh!

The dark spear then spun rapidly as it absorbed all the energy filling the surroundings that was released by Susanoo and Kallavan.

Not long after, the dark spear grew larger and formed a spiraling storm that flew straight to the dancing dragons.

’Unified Force: Combination Technique – Dominion Spear’

Swoosh!

Boom!

A massive explosion quickly erupted when the two sides collided, forming a chaotic storm that dominated the entire region.

Whoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Most of the structures in the surroundings were destroyed, collapsing under the repeated, overlapping, and destructive ripples produced by the explosion.

Whoosh!

Amid all these, a silhouette suddenly broke through the chaotic storm, falling from the sky like a descending meteor.

’SuprBlood Sutra: Asad Tribe – Sanguine Descent’

Swoosh!

Leonard, who was currently covered with a strong and violent flow of crimson energy, swiftly descended and fell straight to the middle of the opposing trio.

Since the three just threw a powerful combination technique, they were not in a position to protect themselves from the incoming ’meteor’.

If such an attack befell them, the damage that it would deal would most likely put them in a critical condition.

However, they remained calm. It was because their reinforcements had already arrived.

Whoosh!

Right before the ’meteor’ descended, a silhouette suddenly flew out of the castle behind them and positioned itself right before its path.

Valerius, who was the main tank of God’s Paradise, revealed himself and raised his shield to confront Leonard.

Swoosh!

Starry lights suddenly covered his entire being while a huge energy shield appeared before him, forming a canopy that blocked the chaotic storm of energy and the descending meteor.

’Divine Guardian Skill (Tier 2): The Golden Bassion’

Boom!

Another massive explosion erupted as the two sides collided, further making the storm of chaotic energy to beceven more chaotic.

However, that golden canopy protected the members of God’s Paradise as well as the castle behind them.

Swoosh!

When everything settled, all the members of God’s Paradise were suddenly revealed before everyone, forming a standard battle formation.

Ta-ta!

On the other side, Shin, Arthur, and Leonard gathered, facing the opposing side fearlessly.

Clang! Clang!

Bumping his shield and spear at one another, Arthur smirked and said. "Now, we will be having a passionate ’party’ to our heart’s content!"
