Child of Destiny

……

A few moments before Alice got ‘ambushed’ by Dio, Shin was about to succeed in taking down Keir, who was trying his best to protect Lia from the Phantom Apparition and the Eclipse Clone while also keeping his steady mind to complete the chants for his advanced spell.

Shin wanted to join his clones as well, but Ashura had already freed himself from his earlier stance and was only waiting for the Golden Immortal to be summoned. He engaged with Shin, preventing the latter from going further.

Boom!

Not long after, a huge pillar of light suddenly fell from the sky and descended upon the members of God’s Paradise, protecting them from any form of threat.

Right after its appearance, the ground trembled violently. It was shaking with great intensity before spreading cracks in every direction.

Boom!

Not long after, the ground collapsed completely, sending the broken pieces into the air and turning them into floating platforms.

The gravity of the map seemed to become a bit weaker, making these stone platforms float in the air, especially because they were sent flying by the golden giant that was currently kneeling on one knee at this moment.

Each void gate also floated in the air along with its respective platforms, somewhat changing the features of the map.

Ashura and Lia furrowed their brows when they learned about this, realizing that it was one of the special features of the map prepared by their opponents.

Regardless, they proceeded with their plan.

Boom!

The Lia and Ashura fused with the Golden Immortal; one was providing a huge supply of energy and enhancing its healing capabilities, while the other seemed to be piloting it while standing right at the center of the golden giant’s chest.

Keir, who had just finished chanting his spell, also made his move.

Boom!

Shin and the others were then taken aback by what happened right after.

Keir’s body exploded and died in an instant, but he just left a huge cluster of dark mana that spread in every direction, affecting the surroundings.

There was also a dense clump of this dark mana, which flew toward the Golden Immortal and fused with it.

The dark mana seemed to be ‘corrupting’ the Golden Immortal, particularly its majestic armor. It spread throughout its body while drawing a series after series of mysterious runes on its golden armor.

Some of the dark mana even spread through the godly glaive that it was wielding, producing a black flame that danced around its blade.

Roar!

Right after the completion, the Golden Immortal seemed to have transformed into a fallen one, particularly when it released a powerful and eerie war cry that was no different from a monstrous beast.

This war cry also shook the surroundings and spread a mental suppression that made Shin and the others pause, fighting against it.

The transformation was not even finished yet because Kallavan and Susanoo also fused with the Fallen Golden Immortal.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

When Kallavan fused with this colossus, its already robust and sturdy body became even more powerful with bulging muscles that had black veins on them, which were also formed by the dark mana that Keir had left behind.

As for when Susanoo fused with it, the glaive seemed to have been further augmented by his sword energy, which also carried a powerful storm.

Boom!

Only when the transformation was completed that Shin and the others able to recover themselves.

Cloe swiftly cast a series of cleansing spells that helped the monster trio recover their mental strength, which was somewhat affected by the earlier war cry.

It was also at this moment that they realized that Alice had just died.

“Alice died!?” Cloe could not help but exclaim a little, realizing that their Elementalist had just fallen.

Shin frowned a little before reading the message sent by Diablo. He then told the others. “Diablo is already engaging with their sixth man, preventing the latter from going anywhere.”

“Who knows if he can also fuse with this current Golden Immortal and further augment its powers,” he added, telling the others not to worry about that side that much and focus on what was in front of them.

What had just happened had already happened, so there was nothing they could do about it. Right now, they had to focus on dealing with this Fallen Golden Immortal, especially when he could feel an immense threat coming from it.

“It looks like we have to reveal more of our cards,” said Shin alongside a smirk.

Understanding what he meant, the others quickly responded.

Arthur suddenly leaped high up in the air while chanting out a series of Draconic Mantras. Immediately after, a huge golden summoning circle appeared underneath him.

Roar!

Not long after, his golden dragon pet with a long and complicated name came out of that magic circle.

Arthur then skillfully rode on it, activating his secondary combat class, the Dragon Cavalier Class.

This was his first time showing this class to the public, so he wanted it to appear much cooler compared to other secondary combat classes that were known the everyone already.

“Let’s go-…!” Arthur was trying to call out the full name of his dragon pet, but he was beaten by the Shin and Leonard into it.

“GOLDIE!”

The corner of Arthur’s mouth could not help but twitch when he heard that and gave the two with sharp later. But the two just ignored him as they made their respective preparations.

Leonard turned and flipped his war axes. He twirled them around him before transforming them into transparent war axes that slowly fused with his arms, becoming a pair of gauntlets with a set of sharp claws.

At the same time, his Elemental Beast Possession and Reality Possession reached another level. Even the crimson tattoos all over his body became denser and brighter, further enhancing his overall stats.

He might not have a secondary combat class, unlike Shin and Arthur, but he still had a set of cards that was no weaker than theirs.

Roar!

Midair, he released a savage and horrifying roar that reverberated in the entire battlefield while an apparition of a humongous Primordial Beast manifested behind him for a moment before swiftly fusing with his body.

‘Destroyer Skill (Quasi Tier 4): Soul of the Ancients – Primordial Beast Power’

At the same time, Shin released the ‘Divine Constellation Possession’ to transform his left-hand sword back to its sheath form before putting the [Yamato] into it.

He then activated one of his strongest skills, particularly the one under his Legacy Skills. This one was the one that had just undergone a transformation recently, turning into his real skill.

‘Legacy Skill: Duplicator’s Eyes – Summoning of the Eclipse Dragon’

Swoosh!

Right after the huge magic circle appeared underneath his feet, a huge and horrifying aura overwhelmed the surroundings, particularly when a dimensional crack appeared on that summoning circle.

Roar!

Not long after, a deafening draconic roar suddenly swept through every direction, followed by the appearance of a huge dragon crawling out of the summoning circle.

This Eclipse Dragon might be slightly smaller than the Fallen Golden Immortal standing not far from it, but the pride of the dragon never let them bow before anyone. It raised its head proudly and haughtily, seemingly looking down on the golden giant before it.

Roar!

Releasing another powerful roar, it seemed to be establishing its authority, especially when it sent the floating platforms higher into the air and spread them farther apart.

Shin and Cloe stood at the back of this majestic dragon while it slowly and strongly flapped its wings to fly a little higher from the ground, leveling itself on the same height as the Fallen Golden Immortal.

There was not much of a standoff between the two sides since they swiftly made their moves immediately after.

Roar! Roar!

The simultaneous roars coming from the two colossuses caused the surrounding air to tremble, accompanied by rumblings from the space itself.

The presence of these two beings was so strong that even the space was having a hard time stabilizing itself due to the collision of their auras.

Boom!

Immediately, Shin urged the Eclipse Dragon to fire its dragon’s breath straight off the bat, not following the standard opening move.

Boom!

‘Eclipse Dragon Breath: Unity Ray’

A beam of light swiftly flew out of the dragon’s mouth, flying straight to the Fallen Golden Immortal that was standing not too far from it.

In response, Ashura controlled the golden giant. They wield the huge divine glaive that was currently covered with eerie dark flames and destructive gusts of the storm.

Shing!

With a powerful swing, it cut the incoming beam of light.

Boom!

At the same time, Leonard and Arthur had made their move.

Leonard jumped high up in the air, using the floating platforms to go even higher, before throwing a powerful punch down.

Boom!

His punch released a crimson light that descended from the sky, slowly transforming into a gigantic energy ball that resembled a falling meteor.

‘Supreme Blood Sutra: Asad Tribe Arts – Sanguine Meteor’

Boom!

Seeing that, Ashura, with the help of Kallavan, raised one of the hands of the golden giant. It used its gigantic hands to ‘catch’ the bloody meteor, preventing it from falling on them.

Boom!

With a powerful clasp, it destroyed the blood meteor, producing a powerful shockwave that repeatedly and overlappingly spread in every direction.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At the same time, Arthur had already had his way behind the golden giant, riding his golden dragon pet.

He tightly held on to his dragon spear before suddenly charging forward and throwing a powerful thrust just like a true cavalier.

‘True Nine Dragon Arts: Dragon Cavalier Version – Breaking Through of the Golden Dragon’

Roar!

Arthur and his golden dragon seemed to become one as the golden energy enveloped them and transformed into an even larger dragon that was no smaller than the Eclipse Dragon.

Whoosh!

It flew straight to the back of the golden giant, attempting to slap itself into it.

Swoosh!

In response, the Fallen Golden Immortal suddenly twirled its divine glaive in the air, pulling the surrounding mana to create a dome-like barrier that protected it.

Boom!

The giant dome barrier protected it from the incoming attack from behind.

Regardless, the destructive prowess of that attack produced another series of shockwaves that swept through the surroundings and threw the floating platforms into chaos.

It was just a few exchanges, but it was the signal for the climax of this battle.
