Child of Destiny

Chapter 1472: The Demon who Roams the Battlefield (Part 2)

...

Tak!

Everything happened a little too fast and those from the Dark Cloud Kingdom army could not respond to what just transpired in front of them.

The shortswords of Uno were barely able to leave their sheaths when everything happened before putting them back again in a cool manner.

Those experts along with Flame Drake had come to a tacit conclusion that they had to take down this person no matter what. They had to set aside the competition and must work together if they wanted to survive this disaster.

Getting killed was a big problem for them since the penalty of being banned from playing the game for an entire day would make them lag behind the others.

Setting aside that they could not be able to progress in anything once they died, particularly in grinding levels and such, they would also lose a lot of their advantages over the others when it came to farming the military merit points during the time that they would be absent.

Their absence would greatly impact their progress in the Faction War, which could even lead to their demotion.

This was why they had to do their best to survive this disaster to the best of their abilities, and they could only do that by working together.

Sacrificing the others for their safety would also be out of the question since it would greatly decrease the rate of their survival, which was already at the sliver chance possible.

Even a single one of them would be a great help for them as they understood that their skills were at most in a similar level and even that were barely able to give them the guarantee of their survival.

Fortunately, the army was behind them, and the Demonic General would at least give them some safety.

However, they were not sure when that NPC would make his move.

Getting ready for the battle, they simultaneously raised their weapons and got ready for the battle. But they still needed to take the initiative to attack Uno as they were fully aware of the huge gap in strength and skills.

Uno swept his gaze at the surroundings, marking those who could give him decent entertainment. Then he turned at the Demonic General before pointing at the latter, seemingly marking this NPC as a target.

Provoked, the Demonic General raised his hand before waving it forward, signaling for the army to attack.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Roar!

"Ahh!"

The shouts of the demonic soldiers shook the entire place along with the roars of the Demonic Monsters. They charged at Uno aggressively and ferociously as if they had lost their minds.

The demonic players did not immediately move as they planned to use these NPCs and Monsters as cannon fodders to hinder Uno while also looking for the right opportunity to attack.

Flame Drake and the other unit captains also gave a series of orders to their people, preparing to join the battle anytime.

Uno smiled behind his ghost demon mask as he watched everything. Then he took a step forward, walking in a calm and collected manner, seemingly welcoming the incoming horde of monsters and NPCs.

Everything seemed to slow down from Uno's perspective as he advanced. All the movements surrounding were reflected in his eyes as they moved in the slowest motion.

This technique was a combination of his understanding of Focal Points and utilization of the False Territory that Shin had learned from Old Plum. Adding his master over his special thinking ability and making use of his 'Thinking Reed' combat talent, he was able to create something that was an inferior version of a real domain.

'Yin-Yang Cultivation Arts: Inferior Domain – A God in the Void'

Then his arms seemed to have trembled as flashes of light kept on appearing and disappearing around him, cutting through the bodies of anyone he passed by.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

When he reached a couple of meters away from the battle formation of the demonic players had set up, he suddenly paused his steps before time flowed back to its usual pace.

In the eyes of other people, Uno seemed to have suddenly appeared in front of them while those demonic monsters and NPC soldiers behind him halted in their tracks.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Then they fell one after another. The players watching from the side could not help but step back subconsciously as they saw that the bodies of those who had collapsed were cleanly cut by something so shard that it did not even leave a mark behind until the diced bodies scattered on the ground.

Silence enveloped the entire battlefield before Flame Drake snapped out of his daze and shouted. "Use everything you have and do not hold back!"

He then took the initiative to use his Berserk Skills one after another along with all the buffs that he could use under his arsenal. He even used his demonification skill to turn into a demon and showcased the unique features of his Demonic Naga Race.

The others were also wakened up by his call and did the same.

Roars and shouts enveloped the place once again as they picked up their courage and launched themselves at Uno in a coordinated manner.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Uno did not even bother to unsheathe his weapons this time as he felt that they were not worthy of them anymore. Aside from those few who had behind hiding their real strength and using the chaos as cover to avoid getting targeted first, these guys were nothing but ants in his eyes.

He casually turned his left shoulder back to dodge an incoming strike from a certain player before tripping them with his foot as they brushed past each other.

Before that player could fall to the ground, Uno suddenly extended his right hand to the side and grabbed the wrist of another player before tugging the latter with a strong pull backward.

This second player flew toward the guy who was about to fall to the ground. Unable to stop the momentum due to the sudden pull, his sword pierced through the head of that player, killing them in the process.

Then he suddenly felt a pain on top of his head before his vision slowly turned dark, indicating that he had already died.

Uno had caught an enhanced arrow that was flying toward him and planted it in the head of this poor player, insta-killing them.

He then spun around, dodging yet another attack from another player. He also leaned backward right after his spin, barely avoiding an axe that was planning to cleave him in half.

Due to his action, that axe landed on the back of the neck of the other player, cutting off their heads.

The player with the axe was surprised as he used his strongest single-target skill for this strike, which was why that person died in an instant. But before he could fully process what just happened inside his head, he felt a strong push that sent flying him backward.

"Urgh!" with a pained groan, he felt a sharp pain in his back. When he lowered his head to look at his chest, he saw a glowing spear piercing through his body, accurately hitting his heart.

Uno did not even bother to look at that person as he was already dealing with another series of coordinated attacks.

The next player that was attempting to attack him saw a blur in front of him before realizing that his attack missed his target. Due to his strong momentum, the trajectory of his arm continued as his dagger drew a beautiful arc in the air.

But while it was in the middle of the swing, he suddenly felt something hitting the side of his hard – or more accurately the bottom of the hilt of his dagger – making his hand fly toward his neck along with the dagger that was now pointing its tip toward him.

Puchi!

The dagger pierced through his throat as he stared blankly in the air.

Such scenes continued to transpire in front of the leaders while they were giving accurate yet desperate orders.

The scene of their people dying in the hands of other players around them or their respective weapons constantly occurred as Uno breezed through everyone as if he was just taking a casual walk in the park.

Those marksmen and mages were even having a hard time doing anything despite having a clear firing lane where they could target Uno. No matter how much they tried or how good their accuracy was, they could not land a single hit on their target as if their arrows, bullets, and spells were purposely avoiding Uno as he wreaked havoc on the battlefield.

The priests and other healers were the ones who had the strangest time in this battle as they did not know what to do. Their job was supposedly assisting those at the frontlines by healing them, but even that 'simple' job was deemed impossible as everyone was dying left and right with a single strike.

Their buffs were not helping either as Uno was constantly killing everyone with ease.

The leaders were frustrated as they did not know what to do. What was even more humiliating about this was their opponent did not even use his weapon a single time. He was just 'borrowing' the others to kill one another or steal their weapons to execute the others.

Sometimes, Uno would be using his fists and legs to throw a powerful punch or kick to finish off those lucky ones who managed to escape instant death by using their special skills.

The battlefield was thrown into even more chaos when the other demonic monsters and NPC soldiers caught up and joined the battle.

Yet, even with all of these, they were still unable to touch their opponent, much less land a clean hit on him.

He was completely untouched as he continued his killing spree.

"Just who is the real demon here?" one of the leaders subconsciously said out loud as he watched the 'raid boss' slaughter their army.

Those who had heard him could not help but agree with his words as they were also in awe while watching everything.

"Is this the gap between Titled Rankers and those top Godlike Players?" mumbled Flame Drake as he watched Uno slaughter everyone.

Tightly gripping his spear, he gritted his teeth did not accept the reality yet. "No! We can also reach that so long as we have this power."

His demonic powers seemed to grow stronger as if they were responding to his call.

Feeling the overwhelming powers flowing within his body, Flame Drake suddenly leaped in the air and flew toward Uno.

Seeing the incoming opponent, Uno grinned as he mumbled. "Finally! Someone decent stop being a coward."

"Let's see if you can entertain me enough," he mumbled as turned at the descending Flame Drake.
