Child of Destiny

…

Bang!

Arthur crushed the special token on his hand which created a huge magic circle appearing underneath his feet before a blinding column of light suddenly flew upwards, breaking through the dark abyss.

Roar!

Seeing that, Archon, the Chaos Dragon immediately raised his claws and slammed it towards the column of light.

Bang!

But before his claw could come in contact with it, he was immediately repelled by a powerful force that made him take a couple of steps backwards.

“This Divine Energy! It is that b*st*rd!” shouted Archon as he looked at the column of light with great resentment.

Meanwhile, Arthur currently had his eyes closed as he was trying to communicate with someone. “I summon thy, the mighty ruler who oversees the order of this world.”

Responding to his call, a majestic voice replied to him on the very next instant. “Are you sure that you are going to use this opportunity now, little one? You should know that you can only summon me once with our contract.”

“Well, I can’t do anything about our current situation anyway,” replied Arthur while wearing a bitter look on his face

“This will cost you a lot, chosen successor of the Dragon King,” said the majestic voice.

After that, the column of light suddenly expanded and created a gigantic golden door that was opening slowly.

“It’s not like I have another choice aside from this,” muttered Arthur to himself while laughing with a bitter tone.

Bang!

When the golden door opened, a huge dragon slowly walked out from it. And based on the powerful pressure coming from the teleportation gate, this particular dragon was at least as strong as Archon.

“Tsk! Tsk! Of all the places that you can pick, you choose to summon me to a filthy prison?” said the dragon that was walking out of the golden gate.

It was a golden dragon which seemed to be a better and more powerful version of the golden dragon pet that Arthur had. Its size alone was already on par with Archon. What’s more, the pressure that it was releasing.

“Hoh~! I didn’t expect this. To think that I will meet an old acquaintance here,” said the golden dragon after seeing the other dragon in front of him who was also wearing a wary look. “It has been a while, Archon.”

“Agios…” muttered Archon with a heavy tone while looking at the golden dragon aggressively.

“What’s with the unfriendly look, Archon? You are making it look like we are mortal enemies,” said Agios with a sneering tone.

Grr!

Seeing that Archon was starting to gather a massive amount of mana in its mouth, Agios give Arthur a sidelong glance before saying. “Stay behind me if you don’t want to get blasted, little one.”

After that, he quickly gathered his own mana in his mouth before releasing a Dragon Breath of his own.

Roar! Roar!

‘Chaos Dragon’s Breath: Calamity Blast’

‘Holy Dragon’s Breath: Sacred Howl’

BOOM!

A devastating explosion was immediately created when the two opposing breaths came in contact with each other. And due to how powerful their attacks were, the whole abyssal world seemed to shake violently despite the infinite darkness surrounding the whole place.

Whistle~ ?

Meanwhile, Arthur couldn’t help himself but whistle with an amused look on his face despite seeing such devastating powers closely. “So, this is what the fight of Ancient Dragons looks like. I guess this is how Shin and Immortal felt when they saw their dragons fight each other.”

“Agios! You will pay for your actions during that time!” roared Archon before charging towards the Holy Dragon.

“I see that you are still blaming us for what happened back then,” sneered Agios after seeing Archon charging at him aggressively.

Boom!

“Hmm… I want to watch them fight up close, but I guess I can do it right now unless I want to die from the crossfire,” muttered Arthur before distancing himself away from the fight while summoning his Elemental Dragons to protect him from the residual powers of the two Ancient Dragons.

“I wonder how strong I can be after fusing my powers with that Chaos Dragon,” thought Arthur to himself, looking confident that he was going to win this battle.

*********

Uproar!

The whole virtual communities all over the world immediately become crazy after receiving such a piece of world-shaking news.

Different online platforms were immediately bombarded by this news while the official forums of the game were filled with different topics regarding the new subraces and their racial abilities.

But at the same time, the Powerhouses of the game were concerned about something else. The new addition of the ‘Wingmen’ and ‘Dire Nagas’ was just a trivial thing for them. At most, their existence would only open a few new team compositions and battle strategies for everyone to employ.

But it was a completely different matter when it comes to the freaks of the game. Especially when it comes to the ones who were standing at the peak.

They already knew that Siegfried had some connections with Simba from the previous games that they played together. But since both of them were playing like solo gamers, the Powerhouse Guilds and other Organizations were not putting much attention to them.

But due to the recent incidents, these guilds were not suspecting that these two top Godlike Players were planning something big. Almost all of the big incidents that happened recently, these two were always together alongside the new rising star of the Saint Heaven Kingdom.

And at this point in time, these very players were involved with another world-shaking event. Moreover, they were even in a full team this time, unlike the previous events.

This matter made the powerful organizations to be wary of the current situation, so they started making preparations for a suspected Powerhouse Group that was about to emerge.

“Start investigating about those members that we never had heard of!”

“Send some scouts to the Saint Heaven Kingdom, we need to gather as much information as we can.”

“Are these crazy muscleheads are finally teaming up together? Keep an eye on them, are going to be one of our rivals in the future when it happens.”

“Looks like they finally get tired of playing alone. This is going to be interesting.” 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝘯𝑒𝑡

And unknowingly, these movements were going to start a ripple that would affect the current balance of the gaming world.

“With them taking the first step, I’m sure that those stubborn guys will immediately follow suit.”

*********

While all of this was happening, Shiella who was about to take her beauty rest in the real world, started getting reports from her personal assistant inside the game.

After skimming through the entire report, Shiella could only release a helpless sigh before massaging her temples. “These idiots! Can they at least try to play a little lowkey? Now, I need to also keep an eye on what is going to happen next!”

She then turned her eyes back to her virtual screen, focusing on a certain topic written on the report. “Sigh~! And can they at least make it a little obvious too? They are going to make a power shift inside the game with this.”

After that, she thought a couple of moments before giving out her orders and immediately lied on her bed to finally get her to sleep.

……

In the meantime, David was currently staring at the ceiling of his room, thinking about what happened earlier.

After he told Shiella about the in-game name that he used to use, he somehow noticed that she seemed to be hesitating to tell him something. But when he tried to ask her what was on her mind, she immediately refused to tell him anything and said that she was leaving.

“Tsk! What was that? I thought everything is going smoothly,” muttered David with an annoyed tone before adjusting his position on the bed sideways.

“Should I go back to playing games? I no longer have any urgent tasks to do now anyway,” he added before closing his eyes.
