Child of Destiny

Chapter 1880: A Strange Charm (Part 2)

…

Watching the intense battle, a few members of God’s Paradise could not help but wear a strange look on their faces. They knew that there was something odd going on, particularly with Keir, who was currently performing much better than he usually did in his battles.

Noticing this, Ashura gave the others a mystifying smile before saying. “It is strange. The air within the battlefield suddenly changed compared to when the match had started.”

The others on the team were unable to respond properly since they did not know how they felt or how they viewed the ongoing match.

“It is as if Keir has suddenly gained some form of enlightenment or inspiration when fighting against Chaotic Luck?” added Lia while squinting her eyes.

Ashura chuckled as he continued. “This is not even the first time. There are also other instances when either the members of the Empyrean Talons have gained something similar during the battle or their opponents are inspired by something in battle.”

He paused for a moment before turning to Mandos, who was watching the match quite seriously, before adding. “Isn’t it just like what has happened to our Undead Preacher?”

Mandos gave their team commander a sidelong glance before shaking his head, chuckling. “I guess you can say that.”

“Moreover, there are also other cases as well throughout the tournament,” added Lia with a slight frown.

Ashura nodded before continuing to chuckle. “I am not sure if all members of the Empyrean Talons have this trait, or if it is something that they have gained unconsciously within the team overall.”

“It may have become the unique trait that the Empyrean Talons possessed,” he added.

“But isn’t there some sort of trigger before it can happen?” asked Susanoo as he felt something.

With this, everyone could not help but cast their gaze at Mandos, who had already returned his attention to the ongoing match.

Sensing their gazes directed at him, Mandos swept his gaze at everyone before shrugging his shoulders. “Don’t ask me. I don’t know how I got inspired back then.”

“Maybe only lucky ones can get that chance?” he added jokingly, which was quite rare for him.

At this moment, the others turned their gaze back to Ashura before Kallavan suddenly commented. “No wonder you want to build a connection with them.”

“I don’t even know that they have such ’ability’ when we first meet them,” chuckled Ashura before turning his gaze back to the match. “But this is what makes them even more interesting.”

“Making friends with them is not that bad,” nodded Susanoo.

In the meantime, the Twin stars – Odium and Amor – were silently listening to the side with thoughts that no one could figure out.

“Let’s talk about the match,” said Valerius, the main tank of the team, while turning to Ashura. “What are your thoughts? It seems like that strange necromancer is indeed quite tricky to deal with.”

He then turned to the ongoing battle before continuing. “If this continued. It will be hard for Keir to win this round.”

“Well, the attribute of Chaotic Luck and his class restrains Keir’s power quite well,” Ashura pursed his lips before quickly adding. “But with the help of this map, Keir will be able to turn the situation around no matter how much the situation turns against him.”

“The map itself is the secret weapon that Keir has prepared just for this match,” chuckled Susanoo.

Valerius frowned slightly, still somewhat unconvinced because he could feel something strange from Chaotic Luc. But did not say anything more and just nodded his head.

Meanwhile, Hermes, the Mad Alchemist, pursed his lips a little after hearing that. He then turned his gaze to the ongoing battle before mumbling to himself. “That guy must be one of the so-called anomalies of this world.”

Back on the battlefield, both sides were already giving their all, aside from their true trump cards.

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In terms of magical prowess, Keir had the absolute advantage without a doubt. He had better control over his magic and fully understood how the rules of magic within this world work.

Along with the enhancements that he was getting from the map, he was able to overwhelm Chaotic Luck in terms of the battle of magic spells.

However, Chaotic Luck’s elemental powers were quite powerful. It was innately much higher than what Keir possessed.

If not for the strange power that was filling the map, then Keir would have most likely lost in this area as well, especially when the Powers of the Sun greatly countered his Power of Darkness.

In terms of controlling the army and maneuvering them in different battle formations, Chaotic Luck had great advantages, especially when the battle formations that he was using came from Shin.

Even though he was not as highly proficient in them, the battle formations that he was using were strong enough to hold the horde of shadow creatures. He had even started to control the entire battlefield with these battle formations, slowly spreading them to where the Hell Pilgrim fought against the Darkness Beast and Devouring Whale.

Even if most of his regular blazing skeletons were unable to fully help the Hell Pilgrim in such a destructive battle, they could still provide enough distraction from time to time, which gave the Hell Pilgrim some breathing time.

There was also this one instance where it dealt serious damage to the Devouring Whale after the blazing skeletons created a rare opportunity for it.

The tides of the battle were starting to turn toward Chaotic Luck’s direction, but he still did not dare to relax even for a moment because he fully understood that the battle was already reaching its most crucial stage.

Glancing at the rate his Mana Pool was draining, Chaotic Luck knew that he could not let this continue for much longer, especially when one of the main rules for this Group Battle Format was to continue the next round with the remaining mana and health that would remain after one battle.

Of course, using potions was still fine. But there were certain limits for Health and Mana Potions compared to other types of potions, so Chaotic Luck could not recklessly spend them throughout the battle.

He did not care about this earlier when he was in a state of complete excitement and battle trance.

But now that he was slowly coming out of this special state, useless thoughts started to flood his mind, making him worry as the battle progressed.

Unlike the rest of the team, his advancement to Tier 3 Class was quite different. It was more of a lucky encounter rather than passing through the trails that everyone else had gone through.

This was the reason why he did not have a certain combat state of his own. He was relying solely on his decent mechanics and overpowered class to pass through every obstacle that he went through, aided by ’little’ luck.

Fortunately, under the guidance of the main combatants of the Empyrean Talons, he was still able to overcome most of the challenges and managed to reach his current level.

But being a rookie was still his main weakness, particularly in the competitive scene. Just like now, where he was slowly getting more useless thoughts the longer the mange continued.

…

Realizing what was going on, Shin could not help but sigh somewhat dejectedly. “Still too inexperienced, too naïve, and not decisive enough.”

“You can’t blame him either,” said Arthur from the side before adding. “After all, he still has yet to truly experience the real terror of those from the peak.”

“He has never met anyone who is scarier than us,” he added with a chuckle.

“Is there anyone out there who is scarier than us?” joked Leonard, earning him a bunch of laughers from the others.

“At the very least, this kid is kind of a ’terror’ on his right,” added Cloe from the side.

“Talking about this luck?” said Shin before smirking. “I guess you guys are not afraid of the Goddess of Luck giving you bad luck, huh?”

…

While the Empyrean Talons were joking around in their private lounge about the fight, Keir had finally gotten the chance that he was waiting for.

Taking advantage of the slipping concentration of his opponent, Keir finally unleashed his Ascended Abilities, further enhancing his strength by a large margin.

Black Tattoos suddenly spread throughout his body, forming a strange and magical formation. Along with it, a huge magical formation suddenly appeared behind, which quickly propelled his magical prowess to propelled into a whole other level.

Boom!

Right after all of this happened, Keir did not even hesitate and swiftly cast a series of very advanced spells, not even waiting for Chaotic Luck to respond.

Tossing his staff in the air, he suddenly placed his palms before him and joined his palms together.

Clap!

The black magic staff then spun rapidly before fusing with the black magic circle behind him while he was fully casting the spell.

He had even mobilized and manipulated the strange power that was filling the entire map, particularly the blanket of darkness covering the graveyard.
