Child of Destiny

Chapter 208: In Hot Waters (Part 2): Being Underestimated

...…

Shin squinted his eyes as he looked at Immortal who was currently looking at him in a leisure manner. And after a few moments of observing his opponent, Shin inhaled deeply to regulate his breathing while also starting to get ready for the incoming fight.

First, he fused the Sun and Moon clones to transformed them into the Eclipse Clone. And immediately after that, he fused the new clone with himself to strengthen himself further.

ʼEquipment Skill (Mask: Nephilimʼs Gemini Mask): Spirt Fusionʼ

ʼEquipment Skill (Mask: Nephilimʼs Gemini Mask): Spirt Possessionʼ

After that, he tightened the grip of his left hand at the sheathed sword before taking a single step forward to face Immortal sideways while putting his other hand at the hilt of the sheathed [Yamato].

Shin was planning to take the initiative on this fight since he was clearly in the disadvantage. Especially that he was going to face one of the Peak-Gods of the game. So, he couldnʼt be a little stubborn now at planning to experience his opponentʼs strength, it was because he would die miserably if he did.

Well, that was what running on Shinʼs mind at the very least. Yes, it was just a thought. It was because a bunch of shadow arrows were already coming towards him when he was about to make his move.

And before he was able dodge on any direction, Shin saw that the arrows suddenly moved in a strange way and create an attacking formation that covered all of his retreat path. And given that he was forced with no other choice, Shin immediately used an escape skill without further ado.

He enfolded himself with a silver light before turning his body into an illusionary figure. Then he started moving to dodge the incoming shadow arrows, but instead of dodging on any other places to have a good look at his opponent, he chose to dodge by moving forward.

ʼSlayer Skill: Moonlight Stepsʼ

Swoosh!

Then Shin passed through the barrage of shadow arrows with that movement skill of his without having any problem just like before. And with that move, he was also able to shorten his distance away from Immortal by 10-meters.

And since Immortal was more of a magical class player, what Shin currently had in mind was to get near him as soon a possible. And when he managed to that, might be able to have a little upper hand on this battle.

Given those thoughts, Shin used the movement skills that he had on his arsenal that had the greatest range, without even thinking twice.

ʼBasic Combat Technique: Second Driveʼ

ʼEquipment Skill (Lower Armor: Megimiʼs Shadow): Death Travelʼ

Then Shin suddenly disappeared at the end of his charge before reappearing at Immortal spot. But at the same time that he materialized at that place, the latter was already nowhere to find. Whatʼs more, the thing that gritted him was a bunch of bone spikes that were shooting up from the ground.

ʼGrand Necromancer Skill: (Modified) Bone Spikesʼ

The timing and execution of the skill was too perfect for Shin to do any kind of dodging maneuvers. Even executing a movement skill to avoid it was currently impossible. And with that, Shin was forced to do a counterattack head-on.

He quickly gathered the residual water/ice elemental Mana that were left on his body from the previous ʼMoonlight Skillʼ, towards his sheathed sword. And without further ado, he quickly pulled his sword out from being sheathe before swinging it forward while also releasing the power of the Silver Moon gathered on his sword at the same time.

Then a silver crescent sword Qi left the [Yamato] and flew towards the incoming bone spikes that were shooting towards Shin.

Shing!

ʼClass Fighting Style: Lunar Flashʼ

Bang!

Then the sword Qi immediately shattered the bone spikes without having any kind of resistance when the two come in contact with each other. But even if that was the case, Shin still didnʼt let his guard down even for a brief moment. In fact, he even activated a defensive buff the moment his feet landed on the ground.

He enfolded his body with a bunch of Sword Qi to protect his mind and body for the incoming threat that he suddenly felt.

ʼExtra Skill: Swordsman Resolveʼ

And Shin was right at doing this. It was because the moment he was done at activating that skill, the fragments of the shattered bone spikes that were floating in the air suddenly pointed their sharp tips at him before started raining down at his body.

ʼGrand Necromancer Skill: Sudden Rainʼ

Clang! Clang! Clang!
