Child of Destiny-Novel

...

"Sigh~! Why is the team leader want us to stay low after all of the trouble that we've gone through?" said a member of the Corrupted Cult as they hid deep in the Sky Deceiving Valley.

,m "What can we do? We are against top godlike players this time, so it is natural for the team leader to instruct us to pause our movements," said another as he patted the shoulder of his colleague.

"Well, that is also true. We already suffer quite a lot of losses. The other squads are also been annihilated by those four," nodded the previous guy with a bitter tone.

After a brief moment of thinking, he immediately added. "They can't even come back here since all of the entrances of this place are being blocked by the combine forces of the Hand of Midas and Assassin Union."

The guy was about to lean on the tree behind him to relax a little. This entire operation was really had compared to the other operations that they had in the past. It was quite stressful for everyone, so this opportunity was actually good for them.

But before he could even take a rest, he suddenly felt that there was something strange in their surroundings.

It was too quiet.

Frowning his eyebrows, he suddenly stood up and swept his gaze in the vicinity. The silence was giving him an eerie feeling.

Not long after he discovered that he was actually standing alone. The guy that was talking with him just now suddenly disappeared. It was as if he was talking with a ghost earlier.

"What the f*ck is happening?" he cursed as he finally realized his current situation. Then a sudden chill ran through his spine which made his entire body freeze.

"Huh?" After that, he felt that his world turned upside-down as his eyes spun rapidly.

Thud!

Then a soft sound could be heard as he suddenly felt that he had gotten short. And quickly after that, he saw his body standing a few meters away from him. "Huh? What the hell is going on?"

But there was something wrong with it. "How come I can see my body there?"

Then he suddenly realized that that body currently didn't have a head. "What the f-…?"

He couldn't complete his words as his world suddenly turned dark.

Thud!

The headless body also fell on the ground before turning into particles of light.

In the meantime, behind that body, Shin suddenly walked stepped out of the darkness while sheathing his sword.

After that, he swept his gaze at the surroundings to make sure that he didn't miss a single enemy. "I guess, it is all clear now."

He was hunting the members of the Corrupted Cult for quite some time already and he somehow forgot how many enemies he had killed so far. After annihilating a few groups of elite squads, he suddenly stopped counting.

"These guys sure sent quite a lot of people this time. We already annihilated several groups yet there are still a lot of them remain," muttered Shin as he was planning to take a quick break.

When fighting those guys, Shin suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the current situation. Despite all of the groups that they had eliminated, none of them were necromancers. All of them were either a squad of assassins or a balanced group of players.

They were still a corrupted race but their classes were completely different from the ones that they encountered before.

"Are they another function within their group?" muttered Shin in suspicion.

Rustle!

While he was contemplating, he suddenly heard a soft sound coming from a distance. The area was dead silent, so it was easy to pick up such sound.

Squinting his eyes, Shin hid his presence and step into the darkness once again. And with one of his stealth skills, he suddenly merged with the darkness as if he was the darkness itself.

"Why is no one here? Don't tell me we got the location wrong?"

Then Shin heard a familiar voice that made him smile from ear to ear. "Looks who is here. I guess something interesting is going to happen."

After that, he further hid his presence before looking for a good location for an ambush.

...…

Thirio was really troubled at the current situation that he was in. His previous mission was a total disaster. They even teamed up with the Pandemonium Descendants during that time, yet they still failed.

It was one of the reasons why his position as a messenger of the cult was in danger. If they were not successful in this operation, he would really get kicked out of his current position.

"Huh? Why is no one here? Don't tell me we have the wrong coordinates," muttered Thirio after seeing that one was around.

"No, it can't be. This is the right location," responded Maximo as he also frowned his eyebrows. He even checked the message that he got from the leader of the group to make sure that he didn't get it wrong.

But no matter how much he looked at it, the message was telling him that they were in the right location.

Hearing that, Thirio's eyes immediately turned sharp as he suddenly got a bad feeling about it. Then he swept his eyes on their surroundings and signaled his group to be on guard.

Understanding the meaning of his actions, the others quickly spread out and surveyed their surroundings. But not long after, they immediately knitted their eyebrows as they couldn't find anyone within the vicinity.

They indeed saw some marks on the ground, indicating that a group of players stayed in here not long ago. But aside from that, they couldn't find any signs of battle anywhere.

"Strange?" muttered Maximo as he surveyed the surrounding area.

Thirio was also on guard. His senses were working to the max as an iffy feeling was stirring him from inside. He didn't know why but there was definitely something wrong in this place.

He was also checking the members of his group to make sure that all of them were present. He was not sure what was it, but he was feeling that someone was observing them from the darkness. It was as if it was a beast that was stalking its prey.

'Who is it? Sword God Zero? No, he is not someone who will sneak from behind. It is also impossible for Dragon God Siegfried to do that since he likes to show off. So, it could either be War God Simba or Battle God Sickarius.'

Thirio was trying to guys who among the four gods was stalking them. It was easy for him to deduce who it was since he was quite familiar with their respective styles of battle.

"It is the Battle God Sickarius!" shouted Thirio, informing each member of his group so that they could prepare themselves on how they were going to fight.

Unfortunately, it was already too late since Shin was already done with his preparations.

"Not bad at identifying me. But too bad, you are still a step too late," said Shin as he walked out from his hiding place.

Hearing his voice, everyone quickly turned their heads towards his direction while getting ready to fight.

Their response was quite fast but it was still within Shin's expectations.

He raised both of his hands in the air as if he was surrendering before saying to them. "As expected to a group of experts, you guys are quite fast."

He then paused briefly before continuing with a smirking tone. "Unfortunately, it is still not fast enough."

Hearing those words, everyone on the opposing side suddenly felt an ominous feeling. Their senses were warning them that something bad was about to happen.

But just like what Shin had said, they were not fast enough to respond to it.

Ah!

Then each member of Thirio's group was suddenly stabbed on their backs, making them shout in pain. And before they could even retaliate, their discovered their heads were suddenly chopped off from their heads.

Everything happened a little too fast, not giving Thirio to save his subordinates. All of them were killed instantly right in front of his eyes.

Aside from Maximo, everyone else was killed.

"Oh~!" Shin was quite amazed when he saw that there was someone who survive his ambush. He purposely attracted the attention of everyone earlier for misdirection, but he did not expect that someone was sharp enough to survive.

But he immediately came to a realization when he took a quick look at Maximo's basic information. "Hoh~! Another Maverick God? Then I guess this is the main group."

"Heh! I hit jackpot this time," Shin continued to talk with a sneering tone, trying to provoke the opposing since.

Unfortunately, neither of the two buy his provocation and continued to glare at him sharply.

When he saw that they were not buying it, Shin immediately went back to his usual attitude and said straightforwardly. "Since we are already acquainted with each other, how about we get down into business right away?"

Right after he said those words, his clones simultaneously revealed themselves as a group of flying daggers floated around each of them.

"I promise you that this 'chat' is going to be a quick one," added Shin with a cold voice.This chapter is updatᴇd by novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin
