Child of Destiny
Chapter 1638: Competition at the Center of the Plagued Lands (Part 6)
......
"Bastard!" Lambert, who was currently sprinting to assist Ricky and the others, could not help but curse out loud after seeing Shin kill two of his teammates, including their sole healer.
In terms of speed, he was inferior to Shin, without a doubt. This was the reason why Night Hound had reached Shin even before Lambert could close the distance between them.
Shin had shaken Lambert within an instant with the help of his ’Moonlight Steps’, which covered 10 meters distance each time he used them. Adding the insane speed that he had in his incorporeal form, a strength-based class such as a Warlord couldn’t catch up to him that easily.
Even if Lambert’s burst speed was not bad, it was still quite slow compared to a real speed-type mobility skill.
Moreover, Shin had used the said skill twice, so Lambert was further left behind.
Before he could even reach the scene, Shin had already eliminated two of their members, which frustrated Lambert. He could not help but wear an ugly look as he charged even more crazily toward the opposing party.
Shin, on the other hand, ignored Lambert and dashed toward Hun, who was currently aiming at him from the distance. Even Ricky, who had his back facing Shin, was completely ignored.
Shin knew that it would take quite a while before he could take down such a tanky class, so it was better to eliminate the one, who would not be able to survive a couple of strikes from him.
Hun was somewhat panicked after seeing that he was Shin’s next target. But he did not just run away blindly. He rapidly fired a series of shots with his magic rifle while swiftly retreating, showcasing his solid kiting abilities.
At the same time, he was constantly moving toward the direction of Lambert, planning to take a little detour while running away and letting Shin get intercepted by his enraged team leader.
Even if Lambert looked like he had lost his mind, Hun was confident that his team leader would be able to handle the situation well as he always did.
Unfortunately, their current opponent was not a simple person.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Crackle!
Shin shifted his breathing technique once again.
But this time, he utilized all five elements and combined them with the methods of the Jade Kirin Scripture for further polishing, creating the five-elemental lighting that surrounded his body.
In the concept of the five elements, wind was associated with the element of wood as one of its sub-elements, which also projects that wind was also associated with the element of lightning.
But in some cases, the lightning was wind and water due to the principles of storms, particularly rainstorms.
At times, it could also be reflected between the wind and earth since it reached both the sky and the ground.
Often, it was also put as a fire element due to the manifestation of heat and energy.
Meanwhile, metal was included as well due to its conductivity.
This was where the main concept of the five elemental lighting, which was stabilized by the Jade Kirin Scripture that Shin had learned, especially when all its thirteen movements were associated with the element of lightning itself.
Thus, he decided to put its category under this Mentalism Method.
’Jade Kirin Scripture: Special Technique – Lighting Steps’
Crackle! Crackle!
Shin left trails of electricity on his path as he moved. He seemed to have transformed into streaks of electric current that danced in the air while flying toward Hun.
Swoosh!
"That’s how far you can go!" shouted Lambert as he appeared before the path of the streak of lightning.
His body was currently emitting an intense blazing light as he wielded his war axes firmly. He did not even wait for a second as he swung those war axes with all his might at the incoming lightning.
Shin’s body immediately materialized as he halted his advance. But it was only for an instant as he was suddenly devoured by a spatial rift between him and Lambert before reappearing ten meters behind the latter.
’Elemental Skill (Void): Void Steps’
Shin did not even waste any time as he quickly used another skill, which had the longest distance of travel, immediately after.
’Equipment Skill (Leg Armor: Megumi’s Shadow): Death’s Travel’
Shing!
But this time, he did not just swing the sword powerfully as the energy itself revolved around him, forming a powerful current visible to the naked eye.
Crackle! Crackle!
Electric currents danced around the violent flow of energy before a huge dragon appeared, coiling around Shin while opening its mouth and trying to devour anyone who tried to approach its master.
’Jade Kirin Scripture: Quick Draw – Eclipse Dragon Draw’
Roar!
Lambert was able to withstand the impact and prevent himself from being thrown in the air by lowering his stance.
(-502,323)
Regardless, he still received such lethal damage after trying to withstand the attack.
Fortunately, the nature of his Warlord Class was quite tenacious. Adding the buffs that he had cast in time, he was able to survive such a ferocious attack.
"Argh!"
But Rickly was not that lucky as he was bitten by the dragon, which then dragged and threw him high up in the air as it moved in spiraling movements.
Lambert was planning to attack Shin, pressuring the latter so that he could not finish off Ricky, who was now vulnerable in the air.
But Shin was much faster than him.
Shin had already gathered the residual mana in the air, left behind by his previous technique, before suddenly swinging the sword twice directed at Lambert.
He drew a cross in the air, filled with intense energy as they moved forward in a spinning motion.
’Myriad Manifestation Swordsmanship: Eclipse Cross’
Swoosh!
Seeing the incoming cross, Lambert spread his feet and planted them firmly on the ground while releasing all his energy reserve.
He held the war axes on each side of his waist, summing a pair of huge axes behind.
When he saw that the Eclipse Cross was about to reach his ideal range, he suddenly raised his war axes before swinging them down.
’Warlord Skill (Tier 3): Doom’s Execution’
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The blazing axes behind him also fell before clashing with the opposing power.
Boom!
Shin did not care what happened on that side as he had already sheathed the [Yamato] once again while channeling a large amount of mana on it.
Click!
As Rickly was about to fall from the air, descending above his head, he suddenly unsheathed his sword and swung it upwards, releasing all the accumulated energies.
Shing!
Not long after, the sword wave that had been released turned into a huge tiger that pounced on the descending figure and shredded it into pieces.
’Jade Kirin Scripture: Quick Draw – Eclipse Tiger Draw’
Roar!
When the violent energy receded, Ricky’s somewhat bulky figure also disappeared. He turned into specks of lights alongside the settling gust of wind.
