Child of Destiny - Chapter 2043
Chapter 2043: The King’s Battle (Part 3)
…
“Should we go and test this guy?” asked Ryoto, seemingly a bit eager to test the strength of the current ‘king’ of the trial while also weakening the opposing forces before it could even reach a much higher level.
Laurent pursed his lips a little, seemingly considering this matter, but he suddenly shook his head immediately after. “There is no need for that. The other parties will surely do the testing for us.”
Given his bit of familiarity with the opposing teams’ organizations, he knew that those people would surely have more impatient ones in their ranks, particularly those from the Dragon Pavilion due to their military nature.
He was right. The other parties were already making their respective moves before they could even discuss it.
…
From one of the four sides of the altar, there was a trio of people who seemed to have a reptilian-type race.
They had different colors of scales, which represented their unique features and abilities.
One of them had a blue-colored scale, which was similar to what the Ocean Nagas had.
However, the difference between these two sets of scales was the shape that they had. Those from the Ocean Naga races possessed round and smooth scales, while this person’s scales were sharp and in a rhombus shape.
It was clear that he was from a different race, especially when there was a series of crackling sounds coming out from his body alongside the arcs of lightning dancing through these scales.
He was carrying a spear on his back, which was also constantly being engulfed by lightning. His intimidating and commanding pressure truly lived up to his name.
“Tyrant Dragon, let me remind you that we may be teammates this time, but I have no intention of following your orders,” said the one standing beside this person.
Compared to the previous person, this guy had red-colored scales, which seemed to be constantly emitting a series of fiery embers. They were rough and hard at a single glance, which indicated that his defense was extremely tough.
His sharp glare and snapping tone could also indicate that his temper was quite a fiery one. It seemed like he was the type to always head into the battle first before thinking about anything else.
Adding the huge pair of battle axes hanging on his back, it was clear that he belonged to a very strong combat class.
Tyrant Dragon gave this person a sharp glare before ignoring him completely.
Seeing this, this person with a fiery temper seemed to have snapped and was about to explode.
Fortunately, the third person in their group suddenly stepped in and mediated. “You have to calm down, Berserk. You should remember what Nemesis has said before sending us for this round together.”
Berserk Dragon stiffened for a moment before turning around and dropping the matter. He respected Nemesis Dragon a lot, so he had to suppress himself and control his anger before creating trouble later.
He had to wait until they were back at the headquarters before settling this score.
Tyrant Dragon, on the other hand, turned to the mediator before saying. “Luminous Dragon, you’d better keep this guy in check before he causes any trouble later.”
Luminous Dragon seemed to be from a similar race as these two, but his scales were smooth and elliptical compared to those of the two. Moreover, they were constantly releasing a sacred luster which seemed to be his innate trait.
At the same time, his class was a bit different compared to the other two. Instead of a combat-oriented class, his class leaned more toward auxiliary-type.
His weapon style leaned more toward dual-wielding. In his right hand was a magical wand, while his left hand was holding a small, round shield.
This class seemed to be a variation of the Cleric Class from the Human Race, based on what he was wearing alone, especially when he was wearing a set of cloth-type equipment.
He briefly nodded before turning toward the growing army of undead, before saying. “It seems like we are in luck this time. Our classes and attributes work against undead and dark creatures. This is going to be quite favorable for us.”
He then swept his gaze at the adjacent sides of their position before pursing his lips. “It seems like they are still not planning to make their move.”
“Well, if that guy is truly Immortal, then dealing with him is more than just troublesome, so it is quite understandable for their side,” he added before turning to Tyrant Dragon and Berserk Dragon. “Should we do the honor of testing the waters for our old friends?”
“Hmph!” Berserk Dragon snorted on the surface but did not say anything else.
Tyrant Dragon, on the other hand, directly pulled his spear out and prepared for battle. There was no better response to it than to show his answer with actions.
When Berserk Dragon saw this, he also took out the pair of huge battle axes on his back and stepped forward, not willing to be outshone by the other.
Seeing their actions, Luminous Dragon shook his head before preparing as well. He raised his wand and started chanting out a series of draconic words, which was immediately followed by a holy light bathing their group.
Under the baptism of this light, the attributes that Tyrant Dragon and Berserk Dragon wielded were mixed with the sacred element. This somewhat changes their innate elemental attributes, changing their appearances.
The azure lightning that was surrounding Tyrant Dragon’s body gained a golden luster, while the flames covering the surface of Berserk Dragon’s scales turned into holy fire.
Roar! Roar!
Right after, the two warriors simultaneously left their respective spots, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
Aside from the two distinct and deafening roars that were still reverberating throughout the place, everyone else seemed to have been put under a spell and froze in place.
It was as if these roars were announcing the arrival of two apex predators in the scene.
Crackle! Crackle!
The first to make his entrance was Tyrant Dragon, who suddenly flew into the air, seemingly planning to reach the top of the altar in a single leap.
He had left arcs of lighting behind while flying straight to the top of the altar, which also assaulted the flying beast skeletons trying to block his path.
At first, he was confident that he would be able to fly past them, especially when his lightning attribute was the bane of all evil.
Adding the sacred properties that the buffs Luminous Dragon had provided him, dealing with these filthy undead creatures should be quite easy.
Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, he was a bit too confident in himself and the power he possessed.
Roar!
Right when he was trying to fly past the flying beast skeletons, he was immediately obstructed by a fierce series of assaults, forcing him to halt his dragons.
“What!?” He could not help but look at this bunch of undead creatures, re-evaluating their strength. “They seem to be unbothered by our special attributes.”
Bang!
Right after landing back on the ground, he realized that Berserk Dragon was also being obstructed by a similarly powerful resistance, if not more.
Luminous Dragon frowned deeply as he could see more deeply than the other two. He could tell that despite the effects of their respective attributes being the best counter against undead creatures, the opposing side remained unflinching and even faced their attacks with welcoming arms.
If he were not seeing wrong, then he would most likely think that their innate attributes were extremely beneficial to these undead creatures, particularly Berserk Dragon’s draconic flame mixed with his holy attribute.
“What is happening!?” mumbled Luminous while furrowing his brows, extremely confused with the current situation.
He was even suspecting that they were not currently facing an undead army due to such an odd sight before them.
…
In the meantime, Arthur, who was currently paying close attention to the battlefield, could not help but frown deeply, especially after seeing the actions coming from the trio.
“Dragons. They are indeed from the Dragon Pavilion,” he mumbled after seeing the abilities that the three possessed.
Even if their overall appearances and the special effects of their abilities were currently being hidden by the mysterious veil of the trial grounds, he could at least recognize the movements and tricks that these three possessed.
Additionally, his understanding of the dragon race was much deeper than anyone else’s. He naturally knew that almost all the Transcendent Beings were under the Dragon Race.
From what he knew, aside from his Dragonkin Race, which had the chance to evolve into a Divine Golden Dragon Race once the conditions were met, there were also four other dragon-related Transcendent Beings.
One of them had that Dragon Slayer Class, which was another branch of the Dragonkin Race. It also shared the same class name as Sigurd Dragonborn’s legacy.
The other was the Dragon Race that Yuan had, the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Pavilion. Even Arthur was not sure what kind of dragon it was, despite his knowledge about dragons.
The three Transcendent Dragons before him were most likely from the other Draconic Tribes that he had been hearing about, which were the three from the four Transcendent Beings of the Dragon Pavilion.
“Someone from the Lightning Dragon Tribe, another from the Fire Dragon Tribe, and there is an interesting guy with the rare Light Dragon Tribe,” he mumbled after observing their abilities a bit closer.
He then pursed his lips, adding a remark. “Quite interesting. To think that Yuan can help his people to secure these Tribe’s legacy. I wonder if he also knows how to evolve them into Blue Storm Dragon, Red Infernal Dragon, and White Sacred Dragon.”
“I guess I have to invite him for a chat later,” he nodded his head, seemingly plotting something.
It was only at this moment that he turned his attention toward the undead army of the opposing side. “These undead creatures are odd. They seem to be as strange as that guy’s legion.”
He then suppressed the twitching of his mouth while denying the possibility. “It can’t be. His luck shouldn’t be enough to bypass such an odd condition from the gate. Probably.”
