Child of Destiny

...

"Cforth and hear my command!"

Morax raised and opened his arms wide open once again as he said those words in demonic language. He took advantage of his little authority with the Ancient Battlefield to command all kinds of energies filling the entire realm.

Rumble!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Not long after, the demonic energy filling the air started to move alongside the earth beneath.

Fragments of rocks of a variety of sizes flew in the air alongside the broken parts of the huge meteor that exploded earlier before gathering behind Morax, who was slowly ascending higher into the dark and cloudy sky.

Rumble!

A moment later, all these fragments merged and formed a huge sphere of rock before getting molded by the demonic energy into a huge earth construct in the form of a colossal dragon that almost encompassed the entire sky above Shin.

The already dark sky beceven darker due to the appearance of this Earth Dragon Construct as it loomed over Shin and the ground below.

’Demonic Stone God Skill (Tier 3): Ultimate Move – Demon God Construct’

Shin raised his brows a little after seeing the colossal Earth Dragon Construct which was much larger than the massive meteor that fell earlier. "Tsk!"

He could also sense the overwhelming power that this construct possessed, which was pressing on him despite the great distance that they had between them.

Shin could tell that this skill was one of the advanced levels of tiered skills, which was similar to how his Tier 3 Domain Skill was way more powerful compared to the Tier 3 Skills of other players.

He was trying to consider whether to use that Tier 3 Skill or not given the current situation. But while he was in deep thought, something seemed to tug him from another dimension and told him to use them instead.

"Eh!? Isn’t this-…" he could not help but pause as he realized who it was. "You’ve becconscious? This is interesting."

Shin could not hide his surprise as that being acted more like an empty vessel controlled by the AI whenever it was summoned. He first thought that it was because the skill was copied from Immortal, who had summoned a Zombie Dragon during their battle, which was why it was considered an ’ordinary’ skill.

But it looked like he was wrong. The dragon hidden from another dimension seemed to be communicating with him this trather than acting as a regular summon.

"I don’t know what changed. But since you want to fight, I’ll give you the chance to do it," said Shin as he suddenly sheathed the sword before forming a seal with his right hand.

Focusing his mind on it, a huge magic circle appeared underneath his feet along with a huge summoning array behind him.

"Huh!?" Morax could not help but raise his brows a little after seeing that, especially when he could sense a threatening feeling coming from that summoning array.

"Is he summoning that dragon now?" he mumbled before smirking. "It is useless. Given our assessment of that dragon, its level shouldn’t be that high yet. It is still far from matching my Earth Demon Dragon Construct."

Shin could not hear the opposing side as he was too focused on summoning the dragon from another dimension, which he surprisingly found a little harder compared to what he remembered.

Summoning this dragon not only consumed a lot of willpower and concentration but also quite draining for his body as well. @@ @@

With a deep frown, Shin focused all his willpower on the magic circle under him, which was connected to the summoning array in the air.

"Just cout already!" with a powerful and commanding shout, Shin poured his multi-colored mana into the magic circle, fully activating it.

Boom!

A massive explosion of mana erupted behind Shin, where the summoning array was located. It was then followed by a huge dimensional crack that appeared at the center of the array before spreading vertically.

The dimensional crack resembled the marks of a broken glass as it further widened in the space.

Not long after, the sharp talons of a dragon reached out from the other side of the crack before grabbing its edges and widening the gap.

Roar!

Immediately after, a huge dragon with obsidian scales broke through the dimensional dragon, revealing its colossal body, which was much larger than what Shin remembered. Discover hidden stories at .Côm

It was much bigger and more majestic compared to the previous tShin had summoned it.

At the stime, there was also a familiar halo on the head of this dragon, which was oddly similar to the one that Shin had when he transformed under the special Racial Berserk Skill he had – the Descent of the Fallen God.

This Emblem of the Sun and Moon – more commonly known as the Mark of Eclipse – was also the sas what was engraved on the back of his hand. It was also the emblem used by the Church of the Sun and Moon.

At the stime, Shin could also sense a familiar aura from the dragon, which he first felt during his Tier 3 Class Promotion Quest. It was when he first saw that entity called ’Lucy’ during the end of that trial.

The current Eclipse Dragon and that entity were emitting a similar aura yet also somewhat different at the stime.

While Shin was trying to figure out what had changed, the corner of his eyes also saw that the ’copied skill’ indicator in this skill changed into ’special skill’, which meant that it was now fully part of his skillset unlike before.

’Legacy Skill: Deplicatetor’s Eye (Special Skill) – Summon The Eclipse Dragon’

There was also an extra slot for his Duplicated Skills, which now only had the skill that he had copied from Ashura during their previous battle.

Roar!

The current Eclipse Dragon might still be much smaller, despite it already growing bigger, compared to the Earth Dragon Construct in the sky. But the powerful aura that it was emitting was not losing to the latter, indicating that they most likely possessed an equal power.

The pressure that was trying to crush Shin earlier had also disappeared right after the Eclipse Dragon appeared.

Due to this, Shin beceven more confident about this final exchange.

Morax, on the other hand, squinted his eyes further when he saw the current Eclipse Dragon, which was completely different compared to what he had seen from the videos provided by the organization.

"Tsk! How cthe information of those guys has becthis unreliable?" he could not help but complain a little due to this.

But he later shook his head after a brief thought. "No. It is not like that. The problem is this guy. He is growing at insane speed, which makes the information inaccurate."

"I guess I have to warn them to adjust his information a little more," he added before raising his hand and pointing toward Shin. "Go!"

Roar!

Under his command, the colossal Earth Dragon Construct dove toward the ground, where Shin and the Eclipse Dragon stood.

Swoosh!

Its speed was insanely fast, especially when it was taking advantage of its weight and gravity to accelerate further.

At the stime, it had manipulated the surrounding demonic mana to conjure an array of stone spears similar to what Morax had summoned previously in the first bout, but way stronger.

Roar!

With another howl from the Earth Dragon Construct, the stone spears flew down, pouring at Shin and the Eclipse like droplets of rain.

Roar!

In response, the Eclipse Dragon opened its mouth wide while accumulating a huge amount of mana between its jaws.

Zong! Long~! Long~!

’Eclipse Dragon’s Breath: Unity Ray’

Swoosh!

Along with the movements of the dragon’s head, a huge beam of light flew out of its mouth, sweeping through the rain of stones spears in the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions erupted, creating a thick cloud of smoke and dust in the air that blocked Shin’s field of vision.

Boom!

The Eclipse Dragon squatted a little before suddenly leaping into the air and flapping its giant wings to fly.

Roar!

With its wide-opened mouth, the Eclipse Dragon flew straight to the cloud of smoke and dust, where the Earth Dragon Construct suddenly broke through and clashed against it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another series of explosions erupted as the two dragons clashed, creating a powerful storm of energy that swept through all directions.

Fortunately, Eclipse Dragon chose to battle the Earth Dragon Construct in the air, saving Shin from the storm of violent energy that their clashes had created.

Shin could tell that even a stray residual of their clashes was more than enough to crush him into pieces. "This is supposedly a single ’bout’ based on the bet, but I guess this will take a while given the current situation."

At the stime, he suddenly heard Morax’s voice, who suddenly appeared not far from him. "Then how about we change the conditions a little given that you are quite in a hurry."

Shin squinted his eyes as he looked at the latter with full suspicion. He then started shaking his head as he could tell that this demonic player was plotting something again.

He pointed at the sky, where the Eclipse Dragon and the Earth Dragon Construct were fighting, before continuing. "That third ’bout’ is still in progress, so I guess you plan to eliminatebefore their fight ends."

Given that each round was supposed to end after their respective skills ended, this round would only end once either of the two dragons had fallen.

Thinking about this, Shin could somewhat guess that this was part of the other party’s plan.

"That dragon may be a little surprise, but this is still within control," said Morax as he smirked at Shin. "Let’s see if you still have more aces under your sleeves."
