Child of Destiny-Novel

...

Shiella looked at Arthur with full amusement before conjuring a group of ice arrows in the air, pointing them at Arthur and Leonard.

She was about to attack when she suddenly heard Zero's voice from the party chat channel. "Aren't you being a little too harsh to your little brother?"

Hearing that, Shiella immediately replied by whispering. "Too harsh? If only you know how this little rascal ruined my once-in-a-lifetime debut birthday! No! Not only that! This guy is hell-bent at ruining all of my birthday parties even before that!"

She was gritting her teeth pretty hard when she remembered what Arthur had done during those times. On top of those, there were also the times when this little brother ruined the plans that she created for their family trips when they were young. It was as if this guy was born to mess with her life.

"This is one of the rare times where I can vent out my pent-up anger at him without restraint, so don't you dare interfere," said Shiella with a warning tone.

Hearing that, Zero couldn't help but sigh helplessly before muttering to himself. "Yeah. Sibling problems."

He knew that women were quite sensitive when it came to their birthdays, but he still felt that she was going a little too harsh on Arthur. Or he might not be able to understand her feelings since he was an only child on top of him being a guy.

Regardless of the reason, it was not his concern since it was their own problem to be solved. He had a different purpose on coming here.

He already had a suspicion earlier since the place that they were heading was the same direction where he was sensing the fragment of the broken [Excalibur].

"I didn't expect that he really catches upon us that fast. But it shouldn't be a bad thing since I am quite itching at exchanging blows with him," he muttered to himself.

After that, he turned to Shiella before asking. "Do I need to help those two? It looks like they will not be able to handle their opponents if this drags on."

"Do whatever you want. Just don't interfere with my business," said Shiella as he quickly sent the ice arrows towards Arthur and Leonard.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Arthur raised his shield in front of him and blocked all of the ice arrows that were flying towards his direction while hiding Leonard behind him.

After enduring the barrage of ice arrows, Arthur quickly kicked the ground and charged ahead with his shield still raised in front of him. And at the same time, Leonard was following closely behind him while waiting for the right time to strike.

Shiella quickly jumped backward when she saw their actions and started kiting down the two with her spells.

She was obviously trying to lead the two within the forest and separate them from the group. But despite knowing what she was planning, Arthur and Leonard had no other choice but to chase after her since no one would be able to stop her from taking down the others if they didn't restrain her.

In the meantime, the other members of their group were also engaged in battle.

S.Tigris led his group to surround Kristle and started attacking her from every direction. Their main task was to restrain her until their reinforcement arrived. But if they were able to take this dragonkin girl by themselves, then it was even better.

Hmph!

Kristle was already frustrated because she needed to follow all of Shiella's commands without being able to raise her complaint. And now that she got the permission to do everything that she wanted, she was planning to vent out all of her frustrations on these guys.

Having that in mind, she quickly used the unique bloodline powers of her race right off the bat.

Bang!

A powerful shockwave was sent in every direction the moment when she shouted loudly for the activation of her bloodline buff.

Due to that, Ringo, S.Tigris, and Raven, who were trying to get near her, were simultaneously pushed back.

At the same time, a pair of wings suddenly appeared behind Kristle as a shadowy aura enfolded her body.

Bang!

Then she kicked the ground all of a sudden and launched herself forward. Her target was clear and it was Black Hand who was currently standing the farthest away from her.

Swoosh!

Her speed was insane as she was already right in front of Black Hand as she seems not willing to let the opposing to be able to respond with her moves.

She was about to ridicule these opponents for leaving their sole healer alone. But the opposing side immediately proved her wrong as a pair of magic arrows greeted her before she could even attack Black Hand.

As if she was already expecting the actions of their opponent, Ara quickly fired a pair of arrows towards Black Hand's directions which also forced Kristle to dodge especially since those arrows were accurately targeting her head and right shoulder.

Right at the moment when she jumped to the side, Raven suddenly pounced at her out of nowhere while also brandishing his daggers at her in the process.

Seeing that, Kristle quickly flapped and folded her wings to spin midair, narrowly dodging Raven's daggers.

Swoosh!

But not long after she avoided that ambush, another coordinated attack quickly followed.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ara released yet another pair of magic arrows that chased after Kristle while S.Tigris and Ringo charged at her from two different directions.

With such a perfectly laid pincer attack, Kristle could only have a very limited choice where she could dodge. But from her accumulated battle experiences, she could instantly tell that those choices were purposely left open for her to take.

A trap!The sourcᴇ of this content is novelenglish.net . Fɪre - novelenglish.net . bin

It was an obvious trap in Kristle's eyes. But at the same time, she had no choice but to choose on either of those paths since she would be trapped in the middle of her opponent's attacks if she didn't.

It was also at this moment that she realized what kind of group she was currently facing. "An intellectual group, huh? Tsk! This is going to be troublesome."

Realizing that this was not going to be the easy fight that she expected, Kristle decided to also show what she was made of.

She quickly spread her wings to stop in the air before extending her hand in front of her while conjuring a spear that was made of gold and metal element.

​ And with a quick movement, she grabbed the spear hovering in front of her before swinging it sideways, deflecting the magic arrows heading her way.

After that, she borrowed the momentum of her movements to spin around while continuing to swing her spear.

Swoosh!

Clang! Cling!

With that powerful circular swing, S.Tigris and Ringo were forced to take a step back. But at the same time, they were able to position themselves where they could trap Kristle alongside Raven who just arrived.

Seeing that, Kristle smirked for a moment before changing her stance and inviting them to make their move. "Show me what you got."

…

In the meantime, the battle between the other members of the Empyrean Talons and Christine alongside her vampires was also about to start.

"Me and Chaotic Luck will handle the vampires and the corrupted beings. The three of you, will deal with their leader!" said Alucard as he turned the other members of the group.

Owen nodded his head and quickly walked forward, leading the other members to face Christine who was currently looking at them with full amusement.

"Ithilien and Archimedes will limit her movements and support me from a distance. Daulla, protect them in case something unexpected happens," he said while looking at them over his shoulder.

"Any suggestions?" he asked to make sure that they were on the same page.

"From what we have heard earlier, she was able to exchange blows with the War God Simba and able to survive on top of that. Make sure to be careful at fighting her," said Ithilien while staring at Christine.

Hearing that, Owen smirked a little before replying. "Heh! That is why you have back, don't you?"

He didn't even wait for her to reply as he quickly kicked the ground and charged ahead.

Naturally, the opposing side would not let him get near her. She quickly waved her hand and ordered the vampires to block Owen's path.

Unfortunately, Chaotic Luck and Alucard would not let them get in his way. The two of them quickly stopped the incoming vampires with their respective means.

Chaotic Luck ordered his skeleton warriors to stop the vampires while Alucard was restraining their movements by shooting their legs with his holy bullets.

At the same time, Ithilien and Archimedes were shooting arrows at Christine, buying time for Owen to get near her.

The battle was very chaotic, making Zero who was watching from the dark frown his eyebrows. He wanted to join the battle, but it was going to be boring if he did.

The balance would instantly break the moment he stepped in, so he could only observe from the sideline while waiting for the right time to act. And it didn't take long as he suddenly sensed a pair of individuals who were making their way in this place as fast as they could.

He suddenly started smiling when he felt their presence. "So, you finally arrive. Let's see how much progress you made since the last time we meet."

After that, he suddenly disappeared from his spot as he headed towards the place where the senses the approaching pair of presence.
