Child of Destiny

Chapter 370 The Angel Of Death And The Demon Of The Battlefield



……

The audience stand was already packed with players that wanted to watch the finals of the Shadow Ranking Cup live.

At the same time, the ones who failed to buy tickets in time had no choice but to watch the match live on the online broadcast set by different Entertainment Industries. But among these companies there was a certain channel that was being flooded by a lot of the viewers. And it was obviously the True Sight Industries.

After all, they were the only ones who were covering all of Shin’s battle since the very beginning of the Shadow Ranking Cup; where he was just starting to make his name and build his reputation in the gaming world. And due to this very reason, a lot of players became their loyal views aside from Shin and Ms. Bunny’s fans.

Together with all of these influences, the True Sight Industries also hired a renowned artist to create a cover photo for this match – just like what they did from Shin’s previous matches. And to make things even more heated, Ms. Bunny even created a music video for this particular fight as tribute for Shin’s amazing journey on this tournament.

Given Ms. Bunny’s reputation, there would surely be a lot of players going to watch this music video; especially her fans. And together with her so-called ‘Bunny Magic’, the entire video became even more epic.

The video started with a pitch-black screen while a solemn yet calming melody was playing as the background music. A moment later, the slowly transformed into the clashing sounds of metals while being followed by a bunch of gunshots.

Then chaotic footsteps started to mix in these sounds, making everything a mess. But along with it, the view on the screen started showing a huge gladiator’s arena with a bunch of chaotic battles going on.

A second later, the solemn music kicked in once again together with a voice singing the first verse of the song. As the rhythm of the song started to speed up, the screen was also gaining speed while switching on different scenes. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

Dong!

The drumbeat stopped for a moment as the video stopped in front of a hooded figure who was holding a sheathed katana on his left hand.

The video suddenly zoomed in to make a closer look at this hooded figure as the guy himself slowly raised his head, making the shadow casted on his face to move upward and slowly showed his face.

A signature mask was revealed!

Then a metallic sound of the unsheathing sword suddenly rang in everyone’s ears as a streak of light suddenly flashed on everyone’s screen.

It was immediately followed by a heavy beat of rock music while the scene showed Shin’s very first battle at the beginning of the Shadow Ranking Cup while moving in a circular motion.

As the song continued, different iconic scenes from Shin’s battle were being flashed on the music video.

His first clash with Owen, Janine’s quick execution, the moment he summoned his clones and pet during his battle with Akailu together with their aerial battle and his meteoric dive during the last moment of that battle.

After that, his battle with Liszt was flashed next ending with the ‘Eclipse Tiger’ colliding with the latter’s Demon Wolf spirit. And it was followed by his battle against Owen which made the bloods of all of the viewers boil.

Then the music suddenly came into an abrupt halt when the video showed Shin’s Final Crescent during his most recent battle against Roger.

During his silence, the video showed the scene where Shin was putting his sword back in its sheath before turning his head in a certain direction.

Coordinating with Shin’s actions, the video suddenly switched scenes at the final moments of the other bracket. It was the final moments of another battle where ‘Demon’ was impaling his opponent on the ground with his jade spear.

,m After killing his opponent, ‘Demon’ slowly pulled his spear back before resting it on his right shoulder. And as if he suddenly ‘felt’ something, he slowly raised his head to the sky – showcasing the Japanese jade demon mask that he was wearing.

Then the video ended with the loud sound of the drum while the video was flashing the photo cover made by the True Sight Industries for this final match of the Shadow Ranking Cup.

On the upper-left side of the poster, Shin was currently hovering in the air while arrogantly looking down. His black angelic wings were spread widely as if he was a majestic being observing everything from above. His iconic laughing and crying mask were acting as his background, making the scene even more epic.

On the other hand, Demon was placed on the lower-right of the poster while staring back at his opponent. There was a mix of jade and black aura surrounding his body as if he was a human possessed by a real Demon. And just like Shin, his own mask was drawn on his background, complementing the whole design of the poster.

Together with those, the title of the match was written on the upper and lower portion of cover which was their respective titles. – “The Angel of Death and the Demon of the Battlefield” –

Due to this epic music video and badass poster, all of the spectators couldn’t help but become hype on this incoming battle. They even chose to watch the grand finals of the Shadow Ranking Cup on the channel designated by the True Sight Industries – which made the higher-ups of the said company to complement Ms. Bunny’s efforts and hard work.

In the meantime, Shin was currently inside his room in the Mayor’s Residence of Calderock Town as usual.

His match still hadn’t started since the organizers were making sure that everything was already all-time high. And just like any other tournaments, the battle for third came first before the main event.

Even though the battle was quite epic, the audiences didn’t care much about that since the Championship would always be the most important.

Shin watched the match in his personal VIP room earlier. He didn’t enjoy watching that fight since he was aware that Roger was hiding his real strength. And even if this ‘Unrivaled Sniper’ lost in the end, Shin still knew who was the stronger player between those two.

Fortunately, he learned quite a few things from that match that might become useful in his future battles.

There was a whole hour of break after that match which annoyed Shin pretty badly. He knew that the organizers did that to raise their rating even higher, but a whole hour of gap was a little too much to be called a break for the next match.

Even if they hired some real-world stars to keep the audience occupied, that chose was still a stupid and greedy move since they were clearly neglecting the opinions of the tournament finalist. Especially that whole hour of gap might affect their battle conditions a little.

To relieve his stress, Shin decided to browse on the official website of the game a little so that he could see how the betting poll was going. What he saw didn’t surprise him a little. The 51-49 odds were quite understandable since everyone clearly saw how strong his opponent was. And he only had a slight edge since he managed to build his fanbase from his previous matches.

At the same time, he also decided to browse on the online forums while he was at it. And was when he came across DJ Miss Bunny’s post that had a worshiping 10M upvotes and was still counting.

“What the heck?” muttered Shin before deciding to watch the video since his official Ranker’s Title was written on it.

The video was 10-minute long. And the moment Shin started playing it, he couldn’t help but become immersed at watching the whole content without him knowing.

“What the? That was me?” Shin couldn’t believe what he saw because the entire video was truly epic. The editing skills that created this masterpiece was truly godly.

“Awesome~! I couldn’t even recognize myself in this battle video,” muttered Shin as he unknowingly clicked Miss Bunny’s profile to know more about her works.

While looking at her profile, Shin finally remembered where he heard her name. “OH! That is right! She is the one that created the other battle videos of mine before!”

“So, this is the so-called Bunny Magic, huh? Interesting~!” then he decided to press follow so that he could become updated on her future posts. After all, he could use her battle videos to study the battle styles of other famous players. Though, he forgot that he followed her using his real account, Sickarius.

After that, he closed the virtual screen in front of him before doing some simple stretching to relax his body. After watching that particular battle video, Shin’s stress earlier was immediately washed away.

Then he took a quick look at the digital clock and saw that there was still thirty minutes remaining before his match started. Given that, he decided to do some meditation so that he could have his peak condition for the upcoming battle.

And when the system finally informed him that the match was about to start, Shin couldn’t help but grin while muttering to himself. “Alright. Now, let’s see if this guy really came from that place.”
