Child of Destiny-Novel

...

"Will you mind if I join the fun?" asked Arthur while wearing a huge grin under his helm.

On the other hand, the opposing sides immediately put their guards up while looking cautiously at him.

What they were seeing from their perspective was a huge dragon staring at them with haughty and prideful eyes.

Moreover, the pressure that they were getting from Arthur was much different from Leonard since this showoff didn't even bother to hide his powerful aura, unlike the latter who was slightly restraining himself.

"You're alone? Where are the others?" asked Leonard as he walked beside Arthur.

"Tsk! Shin asked me to head here first since he felt that there is something odd when you are not replying to us," answered Arthur while clicking his tongue.

"Though, they will be arriving soon," he added with a slightly dejected tone.

After that, he turned his head back to the guys on the opposing side before asking. "Anyway, who are these guys? Some of them look good to be a perfect sparring partner."

Overhearing his words, the guys on the opposite side felt an urge to smack Arthur's face; especially when they heard the tone that he used while saying the words 'sparring partner'. Even if their fame was no match compared to someone like Leonard, they were still regarded as top-ranked players of the Primal Kingdom!

And as if rubbing some salt on their wounds, Leonard suddenly added with a smirking tone. "How about you call them punching bags while you are at it."

"Your words no mine," said Arthur with an innocent tone.

"B*st*rds!" cursed Kuma after seeing the exchange of the two.

"This guy is clearly looking down on us," said Shere as he nodded his head while also gripping his weapon tightly.

Seeing that the current situation was turning ugly for them, the opposing group seemed to have a tacit agreement and started getting ready for battle. And from the looks on their faces, it looked like they were planning to fight alongside each other.

Whistle~!

Arthur blew a whistle when he saw the expressions that the opposing side was making. He then took a quick glance at Leonard while asking. "Who are your targets? I'll let you pick first since they are supposedly your prey."

Hearing that, Leonard couldn't help but chuckle for a moment before replying. "Just leave that hooded guy and those two 'Jaguars' to me. I have a score to settle with them. The rest of them are all yours."

"You said it! There is no going back with your words later," said Arthur excitedly as he flipped his spear multiple times.

"Time to kick some *ss, Tempest!" he shouted as he summoned his third Elemental Dragon Spirit.

Swoosh!

And as a response to his words, a white speck of light suddenly moved away from Arthur's body before hovering behind him.

Not long after, it released a blinding light while transforming into a massive figure of a lizard dragon.

Roar!

It had a large body that was covered with silver scales alongside some patches of black scales mixed in. There was a pair of thick horns sticking on its forehead as a smooth white mane covered the back of its head.

Its long tail had a strange tip as it was similar to a battle-axe wedge.

A pair of huge batwings were sprouting on its back with razor-sharp tips. Its claws were like sharp scythes of a reaper, threatening to rip the lives of whoever was trying to question its authority.

The members of the 'Predators Adventurer Teams', the 'Cougar Brothers', and 'Twin Claws' were still trying to survey its noticeable features when the dragon suddenly transformed into a streak of light that fused with Arthur's body.

Boom!

On the very next instant, the pressure that they were getting from Arthur reached a whole other level as his armor and weapons changed their appearance.

Just like the scales of the dragon earlier, the armor that Arthur was wearing now had silver color as a pair of spiked wings appeared on his back. There was also a long tail sticking out from his lower back, mimicking the tail of the dragon standing behind him previously.

On the other hand, the shield that Arthur was holding earlier suddenly disappeared while the spear on his right hand seemed to take an incorporeal form before being enfolded by a bolt of silver lightning. It was also releasing some crackling sounds from time to time as snake-like sparks danced around his body.

'Elemental Spirit Possession (Storm Dragon): Storm Chaser'

Boom!

And without further ado, Arthur immediately initiated an attack, not giving the other side enough time to react.

Crackle!

A trail of crackling light followed through his path as he launched himself while lunging his spear forward.

Shere, who was the target of Arthur's charge, was fortunate enough to block the sudden attack. But his strength immediately left his body as he was suddenly electrified by the lightning dancing around the body of his opponent.

Bang!

And immediately upon impact, his body was sent flying by the powerful force accompanying the charge.

"Brother!" shouted the other two members of 'Cougar Brothers' when they saw Shere was sent flying towards the woods.

Then they immediately jumped towards Arthur, wielding their respective weapons and planning to swing it at him.

"Ah-ah~! Don't your parents tell you not to get near someone hit by lightning?" said Arthur smirkingly as he watched the two Tigerkin Master Berserkers get near him.

BOOM!

And when the two reached 5 meters away from Arthur, a pillar of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky and devoured the three of them in an instant.

"Ah!"

The two immediately saw their health bars were rapidly dropping and reaching critical levels.

"Don't underestimate us," yelled one of them as they activated a 'Berserk Skill' unique to Beastman Race. And right after the activation of that skill, their dropping health bars stopped all of a sudden as some unknown strength filled their bodies.

"Ahh!!!" Then the two of them resumed their charge, ignoring the field of lightning around them.

"Undying Rage? Not bad~!" muttered Arthur when he saw what just happened. "Unfortunately, something like this is useless in front of an execution skill."

Snap!

Bang! Bang!

The two Tigerkins felt a sudden explosion on their bodies right after Arthur snapped with his fingers. Everything seemed to stop moving from their perspective before their visions suddenly started spinning from some unknown reason.

Thud!

Maybe they didn't know what happened, but the other guys watching from the sidelines clearly saw how those two were killed.

Right after Arthur made a snap, a ring of lighting was suddenly formed on top of his snapping fingers before extending outwards in just a matter of an instant. And before the two Tigerkins knew it, their heads had already been severed from their heads.

"This trick that Shin has told me really is useful. So, the game enhanced the pain receptors and other nerves of the body, huh? Interesting!" muttered Arthur to himself after recalling the scene where he stunned Shere with his silver lighting.

"Tsk!"ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by nov????l(f)ire

Understanding that Arthur was currently more of a bad news than Leonard, the others decided to quickly eliminate him before their situation turned for the worst.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The four members of the 'Predators' quickly surrounded Arthur from all sides right after the lighting pillar around him subdued.

"Ha!"

Waving her staff for a couple of times, the Foxkin Master Shaman of the group cast a series of buffs on her teammates improving their battle capabilities.

And the moment they received their respective buffs, Kuma immediately gave his orders. "Mako, Bolin, follow my lead! Geno, wait for the window to attack!"

"Roger!" answered the three simultaneously as Kuma charged at Arthur in the very next instant.

"Oh~! Are you guys part of a Military? You look so coordinated," commented Arthur when he saw them moving in a systematic manner.

"This is going to be fun!" he added while flipping his spear with both of his hands while making it circle around his body.

And when Kuma was about to reach him, Arthur suddenly shot the spear forward with great timing. Due to his precise accuracy, his opponent was forced to dodge that attack by leaning to the side while continuing his charge.

"Nice reflex~!" said Arthur smirkingly as he tightened his grip over his spear before slightly flicking his wrist, making the shaft of the spear bend a little before whipping in the same direction where he was directing it.

Kuma immediately put his guards up when he sensed the incoming attack, planning to block the spear with the surface of this claymore.

Bang!

"Ugh!"

But too much of his surprise, the casual movements that Arthur did were actually much heavier than he was expecting.

Kuma could barely hold his ground after blocking the spear. If not for him having a very high STR stat, then he was most likely going to be sent flying just like what happened to Shere earlier. And also thanks to the buff he received from their team Shaman, the electricity surrounding Arthur did not affect him.

On the other hand, Arthur absorbed the repelling force that he got from the previous collision before making his spear revolve around his shoulder and catching it with his other hand.

He then borrowed the momentum of his spear and threw another thrust at Kuma who was right in front of him.

Meanwhile, the Bearkin gritted his teeth and forced his arms to change the position of his claymore and put it in front of him, blocking the incoming tip of Arthur's lightning spear.

Bang!

Despite being able to block the attack, Kuma was still sent flying backward due to the powerful force accompanying the spear.

But at the same time, Mako and Bolin, the Master Berserker and Master Hunter of the group, finally arrived on each of Arthur's sides while also brandishing their weapons at the same time.

Seeing that, Arthur seemed to smirk for a moment before quickly retracing his spear and holding it with both of his hands. And right after twisting his waist, he suddenly spun around towards the opposite direction while also swinging his spear alongside his actions.

Bang! Bang!

His spear repelled the weapons of his opponents while also forcing them to take a couple of steps backward to nullify the force from the previous collision.

On the other hand, Geno, the Tigerkin Master Tamer of the group, just finished summoning his Beast Monsters and planning to join the battle.

But at the same time, Arthur also happened to finish materializing a group of javelins made of lighting and wind behind him while he was in midair. And before Geno could even give his orders to his summoned monsters, the Dragon Knight already sent his javelins towards their direction and struck each of them perfectly on their heads.

"What!?" Geno could only stare blankly at the slight as his body froze due to what he just witnessed.

Meanwhile, Arthur landed gently on the ground before resting his spear on his shoulders while provoking his opponents. "Nice try! Let's do it one more time!"
