Child of Destiny
Chapter 1670: Second Match: Beastmaster vs Peerless Summoner (part 4)...
Bang! Bang!
As if the powerful Spirit Avatar and the fierce bear beside Akailu had an agreement, both kicked the ground and pounced at each other with all their might.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
They only left a flickering shadow on their path as they charged at one another before colliding against one another.
Boom!
The collision produced the expected explosion, which then produced repeated and overlapping shockwaves that swept through every direction.
Even the surrounding Spirit Warriors and Shadow Wolfs near the epicenter of the explosion were caught in it, either sending them flying or directly getting obliterated in the process.
This temporarily made the battlefield filled with a curtain of dirt and mud, which even blocked the vision of those watching it from the live audience stand and online broadcast.
The Monstrous Bear and the Spiritual Avatar paused for a moment after the collision, letting the chaos around them continue for a couple more moments, before resuming their attacks.Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each collision of their paws and weapons produced shockwaves that overlapped with one another, which further made the surroundings more chaotic. These collisions might be incomparable to the first collision, but the overlapping shockwaves made the clash more stunning.
Despite being affected, the Spirit Warriors and Shadow Wolves resumed their fights. Some of the Spirit Warriors even worked together just to forcefully pin down the armored tiger in place, preventing it from going it anyway and further destroying their ranks.
Amid this chaotic battlefield, Vendetta, who distanced himself away from the center of explosions, quickly swept his gaze at everything and tried to look for the traces of his opponent.
But even after looking for a while, he failed any signs of Akailu, who suddenly disappeared from the side of the Alpha Wolf right after the first collision between the Monstrous Bear and the Spirit Avatar.
It seemed like the Beastmaster had used the veil of dirt and mud as a cover, hiding his presence, so thus his tracks.
While Vendetta was trying to locate the opposing side, he suddenly sensed an air fluctuation behind him. He did not even think twice as he quickly turned around and swiftly threw his fist alongside the Earthen Spirit.
Swoosh!
Boom!
A strong collision produced another shockwave, adding to the already chaotic battlefield.
Akailu remained standing on his spot right after the collision while Vendetta was forced to skid backward for a dozen meters before he was able to nullify the impact.
"I have told you, Senior. I am someone who wants to proactively participate in battle rather than waiting for my pets to do the work," said Akailu provokingly as he retracted his still extended arm.
He was about to say something more when Vendetta suddenly smirked. "As I said earlier, you are still too green, young man."
Right after those words left his mouth, Akailu’s expression suddenly changed as he found himself surrounded by a group of magic circles.
They might be small individually, but they were forming a huge array that completely covered every direction.
Then with a casual gesture from Vendetta, golden chains came out from those magic circles and wrapped themselves at Akailu, making him look like a tightly leached beast.
His arms, legs, neck, and even his entire body were wrapped with these chains. They were tugging hard, making sure that he would be fully restrained and unable to do anything.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Akailu tried to pull them, but he was unable to make any ideal movements due to how tight the chains held him. Moreover, they were also slowly pulling his limbs in different directions, seemingly trying to break him apart.
’Spirit Caller Skill (Tier 3): Chains of Spiritual Restriction’
Seeing that it was useless to use pure strength to fight to free himself, Akailu decided to use one of his skills meant for removing debuff skills cast on him. Experience tales with NovelBin.Côm
Grrr!
A horrific growl came out from his mouth as the tattoos drawn on different parts of his body started moving as if they were alive. They also released an intense light, which then transformed into multiple mouths of beasts that started chomping on the chains that were restricting his movements.
Their speed of eating was quite fast, but it was still far from enough.
While Akailu was busy dealing with the chains, Vendetta was already casting a few more spells while aiming them straight at his opponent.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Multiple magic circles appeared behind him, forming an array layer facing forward.
Not long after, a huge group of apparitions appeared behind Vendetta, carrying a bow and an arrow right before each of the magic circles.
They then aimed and started firing at the same time, sending a volley of magic arrows infused with a variety of elemental powers that poured down at the spot where Akailu was located.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
’Spirit Summoner Skill (Tier 2): Call of the Vengeful Spirits’
But before they could even reach their target, Akailu’s appearance suddenly changed. His body became much larger and bulkier. His height also became a lot taller than before, making him look much bigger than the Monstrous Bear and the Spirit Avatar.
Roar!
Right after he opened his mouth, a deafening roar was released and sent multiple layers of shockwaves that swept through everything and repelled all the incoming arrows.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Immediately after, the sounds of chains getting snapped could be heard one after another as he had finally freed himself from the restriction of those spirit chains.
Vendetta had already expected something like this to happen, which was why he was already preparing another magic array in the process.
Row after row of magic and summoning circles appeared behind him as well as on the ground.
This time, a huge group of Spirit Warriors appeared one after another, which then charged at the huge silhouette shrouded by a blinding light.
This batch of Spirit Warriors was different from those that were fighting against Akailu’s monstrous pets. Instead, they seemed to be a bunch of disposable warriors that could only be used once and would immediately disappear right after they completed their respective ’task’.
’Spirit Summoner Skill (Tier 2): Might of the Hundred Spirits’
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In response, the huge silhouette behind the curtain of blinding light suddenly opened its mouth.
Immediately after, a ball of energy was formed in front of his mouth, which then swallowed all the blinding light that was hiding his body.
The entire process was so fast that the scene made it look like in an ultra-fast forward mode while watching a moving. It had only taken an instant for all of it to happen before Akailu fired the ball of light in front of him.
’Beastmaster Skill (Tier 2): Beast Energy – Shockwave Blast’
Swoosh!
Seeing the ball of light made of compressed energy with the highest density charging straight to his Spirit Army, Vendetta knew that his side would be on the losing end. He quickly waved his hand upward, erecting a towering wall of light.
That light then turned into a group of Spirit Knights lining up before him while raising their shields to block the incoming attack.
’Spirit Caller Skill (Tier 2): Bulwark of the Undying Spirits’
Boom!
Not long after, the two sides met and produced an even more terrifying collision compared to the previous ones.
An even stronger storm of violent energy swept through the surroundings while the swamp itself started shaking as if a high-intensity earthquake was assaulting it.
Amid this chaos, the shadow beneath Vendetta suddenly flickered. It was as if something was moving within an isolated void and used his shadow as the gate to come out from it.
"Huh!?" Vendetta, a veteran in the professional competition, had never lowered his guard since the first ambush. His senses remained sharp as he constantly surveyed his surroundings for possible ambushes that might come at him.
Even with the current state of the surroundings, he always kept his guard up, anticipating any kind of ambush.
"Just in time!" he smirked as he suddenly turned around along with the apparition of a massive Spirit Warrior behind him.
The Earthen Spirit, which he had kept on his side finally made its move and swung its fist toward the shadow on the swam behind him. "Eat this!"
Roar!
Right at the same time, the huge body of the Alpha Wolf suddenly came out of that shadow and pounced at Vendetta with its wide-open mouth.
With such perfect timing, the Alpha Wolf was instantly greeted by the huge fist of the Earth Spirit right after it came out.
But the wolf was quite clever as well. It turned its body into a shadow, making the fist pass through its body, before retreating into the distance.
The Alpha Wolf glared sharply at Vendetta and the Earthen Spirit while releasing a series of low and threatening growls.
Vendetta was about to charge at it, not caring what was behind him as he fully trusted the wall that he just set up to block the earlier blast.
But right before he made his move, he suddenly saw the ’smirk’ coming from the Alpha Wolf as if it was mocking him and his stupidity.
An intense shiver suddenly ran down Vendetta’s spine when he saw that, realizing something. He then quickly tried to turn around, attempting to guard himself from the real attack.
Awoo!
But the Alpha Wolf had made its move at the same time, making him hesitate for a second. After all, this monster pet was quite tricky to deal, with especially with its high intelligence and cunning mind.
Unfortunately, such a hesitation cost him a lot as something happened behind him.
Boom!
The wall formed by the Spirit Knights was blasted apart by a huge ’monster’ that charged through it like an unstoppable train.
When Vendetta turned his head, he saw Akailu, who was currently in one of his Beast Forms, pouncing at him like a ferocious and hungry beast.
There were quite a lot of burn marks on different parts of Akailu’s body – some were even serious enough to chunk off his flesh. His body was also smoking hard due to the intense heat that he was emitting after charging through the center of the previous explosion and storm of chaotic energy.
Some embers of flames could even be seen from some of his furs, signifying that he did not just charge through the explosion unscratched.
He fought his way, bravely charging through the epicenter of the explosion just to reach this point.
But at the same time, Akailu did not just foolishly choose this strategy. He had the courage to pull this off because of his Combat State, which he was very proud of.
’Perfect Demonification’ – a state where the body of his in-game avatar mimicked the tough, powerful, and insane physique of those Monstrous Beasts in the real world.
Hoawin had already showcased its prowess for the very first time when he fought against Shin. However, Akailu was taking a slightly different approach to match his current class and race, which happened to be the perfect match for this specific Combat State.
Urging the beast power deeply engraved in the bloodline of his race, the wounds and burns all over his body visibly healed.
The dead and burnt tissues peeled themselves off as new ones grew and recovered his peak state, showcasing an insane regeneration speed comparable to that of the game’s boss monsters.
While all of these were happening, Akailu was also swinging his arms at Vendetta, which now had sharp claws on them. He was planning to shred the latter into pieces!
Realizing that it was already too late to use any of his advanced skills, Vendetta chose the contingency plan and crushed a talisman that appeared in his hands out of nowhere.
Snap!
Akailu quickly sensed the immense danger, especially when his instincts were heightened in his current state and almost rivaling Leonard’s Bestial Instincts.
But he also understood that it was already too late to go back given the current situation. All he could do was trust himself and his powerful body to tank whatever was coming head-on while further enhancing his overall capabilities with powerful buffs.
Roar!
Opening his mouth, he released a terrifying beastly roar that shook the entire place.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the same time, all the Spirit Warriors, who were currently in the middle of fighting, started exploding one after another.
The chain of explosions recreated a resonance, which made an even greater explosion that extended into the sky and formed a giant mushroom cloud that extended up to hundreds of meters along with a comparable radius.
Boom!
