Child of Destiny - Chapter 2036
2036: Trials of the Dark King (Part 3) 2036: Trials of the Dark King (Part 3) …… Troy did a quick investigation, wanting to know how the rules meant for the trials of the Dark King had ended up like this.
From what he knew, these trials would be based on how the true legacy was set in the real world.
It was supposed to follow the arrangements in the real world, creating a mirror scenario of that legacy.
After doing a quick backtracking, Troy finally saw the reason for the sudden adjustment from the system.
“There is a backdoor!?
Does it mean the one in the real world has already been secured?” He furrowed his brows quite deeply, realizing this matter.
But he later nodded his head after finding it quite reasonable.
“That’s right.
That guy must have already created a path when they find this legacy.
But instead of taking it, he must have left it intact after learning that it cannot help him.” “Since he has destroyed one of the entrances in the real world, he has to make it look like it in the program as well.” “Tsk!
Tsk!
And the one who has gone through it is a clueless guy who treats it like a regular dungeon run.
He has not recorded the entire process nor realized what the implications of this place are,” he repeatedly shook his head after learning this.
He then looked at that figure before shaking his head once again.
“This can’t be considered a bug.
I guess this kid happens to be just lucky.” After learning about this, Troy quickly did a quick clearing of the data before proceeding to watch the ongoing scenario.
“I hope that this is not going to be a boring one.
After all, this is one of the biggest and most important legacies from the previous era.” “I hope that this bunch will be able to show me something interesting,” he added before taking out the popcorn that he prepared and leaning his back against his chair.
“Let the fun begin!” *** In the meantime, back in the ongoing trial.
Ryoto could not help but furrow his brows after seeing that he could still not see the real appearance of his opponent.
The mysterious power shrouding the latter was still present, making it impossible to see the other party.
“If this is the case, then the opposing side must be in the same situation as I am,” he mumbled before continuing.
“Tsk!
This makes it trickier to deal with.
Without knowing their true appearance, trying to gauge their strength will be quite challenging.” Aside from the weapon of his opponent, which was a pair of sabers, and the outline of their bodies, he could not see anything from the opposition.
This made it hard for him to guess which race or class they had.
If he could not even see anything apart from these, then guessing their skills and other abilities would be even harder.
“I guess this is going to be a part of the trial,” he mumbled before nodding his head.
“This is only natural.
This makes it more like a trial prepared by the Dark King of the legendary Tang Clan!” … While Ryoto was making his preparations, Arthur and the others had also realized what was happening in the battle arena.
“We can’t see the true appearance of the other party?” Laurent raised his brows, feeling a bit troubled.
“This is going to be quite challenging.” On the other hand, Arthur felt a bit more excited, realizing that this trial was not going to be that ‘boring’.
“This is more like it!
This is what makes the trials more challenging!” “Not knowing what your opponents can do and trying to guess their skills and abilities while fighting, huh?” Leonard, who was sitting beside him, nodded his head.
“This is going to be quite interesting, indeed!” “This is more like trying to test our intuition, don’t you guys think?” said Riko, attracting the attention of the others.
“By making our opponents look like a shadow, fighting them becomes more challenging because we can’t read or guess what their next moves will be.
This is a good test for our intuition and responses during the battle,” she added.
Realizing this, the others could not help but nod their heads before directing their attention to the match.
Laurent even grinned quite widely before saying.
“If that is the case, then this is going to be right in the bag.” Hearing his somewhat arrogant words, Arthur and Leonard could not help but turn to him with an inquiring gaze.
Laurent enjoyed their gaze for quite a while before chuckling.
“I can’t say for sure about our opponents, but I am confident that Ryoto will not lose when it comes to this.” “Setting aside the abilities of his race and class, his instincts and reflexes are among the best within our organization.
Even I will go to him when it comes to this area,” he added.
Hearing this, Arthur and Leonard could not help but think about Shin, who possessed the Immediate Response Battle Talent in the real world that had also evolved into Ultra Instinct inside the game.
Arthur also turned to Leonard, who possessed Bestial Instincts at this moment, which let him gain the danger sense and predatory instincts of a beast.
Clicking his tongue, he could not help but add.
“Tsk!
Tsk!
This trial should be perfect for you.
What a pity!” Leonard just shrugged his shoulders before turning on the battlefield.
He suddenly became interested in the abilities of this senior, which sounded somewhat similar to his own.
“Intuition, huh?” … Back on the battlefield, Ryoto was still observing his opponent, who seemed to be doing a similar thing.
Despite receiving the signal from the system to start the battle, neither side immediately made a move and chose to observe each other first.
The target of this trial was still quite vague, but also quite interesting.
They intended to test the waters first, earlier, when they agreed to be the vanguard of their respective time.
However, they seemed to have abandoned that thought after realizing the current situation.
€“ “Going all-out and catching the opposing off-guard is the best course of action for this round!” €“ These were the thoughts running through their heads after learning about their current situation.
Since fishing out more information from the other party had become useless due to the veil shrouding their bodies, finishing this fight as soon as possible was their best bet.
Bang!
The first to move was the opponent.
Swoosh!
He kicked the ground and propelled themselves forward, rushing toward Ryoto at extreme speed.
Roar!
There was also a deafening roar coming out of his mouth, trying to assault his opponent’s contraction through sonic attacks.
Alongside this, his pair of sabers danced around him, creating a series of sharp flashes surrounding his body during his charge.
Shing!
Shing!
Shing!
Not long after, he suddenly turned into a violent storm that charged ahead and planned to devour his opponent, shredding them into shreds.
However, before he could even reach a considerable distance away from his opponent, something else had greeted him first.
Whoosh!
A flood of water suddenly gushed out of Ryoto’s body and started filling the surroundings.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
With a wave of his hand, the flood followed his orders and formed a torrent of water that clashed against his opponent’s storm-like barrage.
Boom!
The opposing side seemed to be quite strong himself, but the water torrent was much stronger than his attacks, which also possessed an overlapping pressure that pounded him repeatedly.
Due to the flood of water, the opposing side was forced to halt their tracks while preventing their bodies from being swept away by the strong current.
Boom!
However, before they could even steady themselves, Ryoto suddenly burst out behind the water torrent while dragging his heavy sword.
He then leaped forward and swung his sword down, which was currently covered with a stream of violent and spinning current that was connected to the surrounding waters.
‘Victor Mare Skill (Tier 3): Flood Slash’ Boom!
A torrential downpour suddenly appeared to accompany his sword slash, descending toward his opponent, who was currently being trapped by the surrounding waters.
Boom!
The powerful and unstoppable torrent of water descended and swallowed his opponent in one blow.
The water devoured them like the ocean waves flipping a yacht in the middle of the storm.
However, Ryoto did not lower his guard even for a moment despite landing a clean strike.
In fact, he swiftly retreated right after finishing his powerful skill because he sensed an immense danger coming from his current location.
Swoosh!
He suddenly submerged in the pool of water and disappeared into the violent waves.
Boom!
Immediately after, a massive explosion suddenly erupted, throwing countless water droplets into the air and drying the surroundings within an instant.
At the same time, the shadow of Ryoto’s opponents appeared once again, who seemed to have undergone a massive transformation.
Roar!
A deafening roar erupted from their mouth, sending a series of overlapping sonic waves in every direction that cleared the surrounding waters.
In the distance, Ryoto’s figure suddenly emerged from the curtain of waters, looking at his opponent with a slightly solemn expression.
Seeing the current form of his opponent, he fully understood that this was not going to be an easy battle.
