Child of Destiny

...…

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The unit captains in the army could not take their eyes off the battle unfolding right before them. They knew that the Apex Gods of the gwere powerful, but they did not expect that it was this strong.

Moreover, the Demonic General was still being pushed back for sunknown reason. It was unclear on the surface, but that was what they felt when watching the battle between the two monsters before them.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Bang!

Uno and the Demonic General kept on appearing and disappearing as they repeatedly clashed against one another. They were wreaking havoc on the battlefield, killing sdemonic monsters and NPC soldiers who were caught in the crossfire.

The Demonic General was without a doubt much faster than Uno, especially with the demonic mount that he had. But for sreason, Uno was able to repeatedly ward off all the attacks that the demonic general had thrown at him.

One of the reasons might be Uno's better mobility as his movements were not restricted, but the people watching the battle knew that there was something more to it.

…

While exchanging more blows against the Demonic General, Uno suddenly halted his steps as the opposing side was suddenly split into multiple shadows before turning into copies of the general that were besieging him from every direction.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Uno swept his gaze at everyone, marking their positions inside his head before inhaling deeply. When he released his breath once again, there was a cold vapor coming out from the gaps of the mask's mouth.

His arms seemed to disappear as he threw multiple slashes in the air as both of his swords were covered with black icy lights.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the next moment, thousands of sword flashes filled the surroundings, intertwining within one another and forming a net-like barrier that cut through the bodies of the incoming clones of the Demonic General, which turned not smoke and dissipated into the air.

They then converged at a single point, forming the body of the Demonic General once again.

Seeing the real body, Uno regulated his breathing once again, controlling the energies within him. But this time, instead of a cold vapor coming out from his mouth, a hot steam was released.

The energies covering his shortswords were suddenly switched from the black icy lights into the brilliant white flames.

After that, an explosion suddenly erupted behind him as he kicked the ground and launched himself forward like a rocket.

It only took him an instant to appear in front of the Demonic General standing dozens of meters away from him before swinging his swords forward, parallel with each other.

The swords were already right in front of the Demonic General's face before he could even react. Fortunately, a wall of demonic energy suddenly appeared in front of him to block the incoming strike.

Boom!

But in exchange, he was thrown off from the back of his mount and sent flying in the opposite direction.

Uno did not even bother to chase after the Demonic General as he knew that it would still take him seffort to finish him off. Instead, he turned his attention to the mount.

Pa!

With a slight kick in the air, he was able to stop himself from going further away. This was him using the 'Mondi's Jump' to stop his momentum.

Then he suddenly took another kick in the air to propel himself downward while spinning rapidly along with his shortswords, which were now enveloped by two different energies.

Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His swords rapidly struck the mount, targeting its neck. Powerful shockwaves could be seen as the swords repeatedly clashed against the armor of the mount. Blazing sparks were also produced due to the friction and collisions.

Because of the two elements that he wielded, the thick armor crumbled, especially after experiencing rapid shifts of temperature in each strike of Uno's swords.

Shing!

With a couple more slashes, the neck of the mount was finally severed.

Ta-ta!

Uno, who just landed on the ground after killing the mount, swiftly leaped backward to dodge the incoming strike from the Demonic General.

Boom!

At this moment, the general underwent a huge metamorphosis. His black armor was now filled with crimson demonic runes while occasionally releasing flashes of black flames.

Thick scales could also be seen spreading out from his neck and covering his jaws. After removing his helmet, a pair of savage-looking horns could be seen sticking out from his forehead.

His demonic eyes could send shivers down the spine of anyone who he looked upon. There was also an eerie glow coming from those eyes, making his appearance more ferocious.

Uno stared at the Demonic General for a moment before squinting his eyes, especially when he saw the latter extending his hand toward the fallen mount, seemingly trying to absorb it.

Not long after, the already suffocating aura that the general had beceven heavier.

Bang!

Then, in the very next instant, Uno's pupils suddenly shrunk as he lost track of the Demonic General after the explosion of the air.

Swoosh!

Without any hint of hesitation, Uno ducked to the side, barely dodging the blazing glaive that seemed to cout of nowhere, and tried to cleave him in halves.

Swoosh!

His actions did not pause as he quickly retreated, dodging yet another strike from the sglaive after it suddenly changed its course when it briefly brushed past him.

Bang!

The ground instantly collapsed after the glaive landed on it after missing its target.

It was only at that moment when Uno saw the figure of the Demonic General once again. He slightly raised his brows as those attacks ca little too sudden and did not show any signs until the very last second.

If he was not attentive enough and let his guard even for a moment, then he would most likely get cleaved by those strikes.

But despite that being the chase, Uno started grinning even wider underneath his mask as he was getting excited.

Twirling his sword, he adjusted his stance as his aura also becstronger. His natural aura fused with his killing intent, producing yet another pressure on the surroundings.

It becmuch stronger and even intervened with the surrounding mana, creating chaos.

Bang! Bang!

Uno and the Demonic General simultaneously kicked the ground and launched themselves forward. Their figures disappeared for a second before reappearing a couple of meters away from each other.

They then swung their respective weapons at each other, releasing their powers to the maximum output.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Boom!

An explosion quickly erupted right after the collision, sending shockwaves in every direction which also swept through everything on its path.

The ground underneath their feet also sank greatly, spreading cracks everywhere. An instant passed and the ground sank further and created a huge crater, spanning at least a hundred meters away from its center where the two stood.

They briefly maintained their positions before they separated from each other and engaged in an intense melee.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The crater seemed to bectheir area as they ran around while repeatedly clashing against each other.

This time, Uno was showcasing how powerful his sword techniques were and how solid his foot techniques were during the battle.

Without any kind of enhancement, he was able to confront the transformed Demonic General on an equal footing despite the huge difference in stats.

By taking full advantage of his 'Inferior Domain', he was leading the opposing side by purposely exposing a series of weak points while using the principles of 'Focal Points'.

His dodges were not only meant to avoid the heavy attacks that he could not confront, but also meant to gain a better angle to attack. It was also to throw the stance of his opponent a little off after he gained the superior position.

Due to this, it looked like was trapping the Demonic General. He had even forced the latter into a corner without the general realizing it.

Of course, it would not be that easy to finish off this Demonic General even in a corner. He was still able to explode with a series of explosive combos that warded off the advances from Uno.

This continued for a dozen more minutes until Uno was finally satisfied with his progress. He had already fixed all the flaws that he had seen in his style ready to finally finish this battle.

Swoosh!

Separating himself from the Demonic General, Uno suddenly leaped high up in the air while spreading his arms wide as if they were a pair of wings.

The shortswords were also spread upwards as they blazed violently along with the opposing energies that were covering them. They left a trail of respective energies in the air as Uno turned and flipped right after he reached the apex of his jump.

Bang!

A moment later, a heavy pressure suddenly descended from the sky and pressed on the Demonic General, pressing him down and locking him in his place.

Having a bad feeling about this, the Demonic General adjusted his stance before channeling his demonic energy into the glaive.

A huge demonic figure appeared behind him as the energy covering the glaive grew more violent.

He did not even wait for Uno to descend as he quickly threw a powerful slash in the air, releasing all the accumulated powers that he had gathered.

Boom!

A powerful explosion quickly erupted as a huge demonic creature was formed right after he released all his powers, sending it toward the sky. His feet even sank to the ground further as the shockwave created by his actions was so strong even for himself.

Roar!

On the other hand, up in the air, Uno was suddenly covered with black-and-white energy as he controlled his breathing according to his newly improved Qi Circulation Technique.

Then the two opposing energies merged and formed a unique energy that was strong enough to create tiny fissures in the space surrounding him.

He relaxed his entire body as he hovered in the air for an instant while he was turning toward the ground.

He ignored the incoming demonic face formed by the demonic energy that the general had released and just raised his right-land sword in the air.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The energies covering his entire body twirled and spiraled upward, climbing toward the shortsword.

Compared to the ferocious and terrifying demonic energy flying at him, the energy covering his sword looked inferior and fragile. But Uno did not care as he gently swung the shortsword down.

Swoosh!

He then disappeared and instantly reappeared on the ground, standing right in front of the Demonic General and maintaining an ending posture of a downward swing.

It looked like nothing had happened as silence enveloped the entire place. The tseemed to have also stopped as the players watching from the distance looked confused.

Snap!

Then a crispy sound of a broken glass could be heard reverberating in every direction.

The players, particularly FlDrake, who was watching from the distance, could not help but frown deeply as an even more confused look washed over their faces.

Then their eyes suddenly turned wide as they saw a huge spatial fracture formed starting from the place where Uno had swung his sword in the air up to the spot where he stood.

This spatial fracture annihilated everything on its path, passing through the huge demonic energy that was still continuously flying toward the sky before slicing through the body of the Demonic General standing in front of Uno.

Uno did not even bother to look at the outcas he was already walking away and heading toward the direction of the Stormy Mountain Range.

Click!

Boom!

With a subtle sound of him sheathing his shortswords, an explosion quickly followed along with a destructive force that annihilated all the surviving soldiers of the army along with the Demonic Monsters that were accompanying them.

Those poor players who were standing dumbfoundedly among them were also caught in the explosion, killing them in the process.

When Uno's figure finally disappeared, the bombardment of the energies finally stopped, revealing the devastated place.

Not even a single remain was left behind. The bodies of everyone was either crushed into a meat paste or turned into dust.

Not even a soul survived that final attack, leaving no witness of what just transpired in this place.
