Child of Destiny

...

"What should I do? What Should I do next?"

Contrary to what Immortal was expecting. His current opponent was far from the one that was inside his head.

"I know Big Brother said to just do what I have always been doing up until now, but how can I beat Immortal, the god of all necromancers?" Chaotic Luck was currently in a state of panic.

He didn't know how he was going to face his former idol. Before he got his current Class, he was just an ordinary necromancer. One who also looked up to Immortal just like any other else.

But his view now changed after learning the real nature of the Undying Guild as was the true colors of Immortal.

Right now, the ones that he looked up were Shin and the rest of Empyrean Talons. The training sessions might be torturous but he could see that it was very effective as he could instantly see his improvements after every session.

But despite everything that he went through, and the growth that he gained, he was still not confident that he could stand against the Lich God by himself.

It was a little different earlier since Shin was giving him all of the instructions when they ambushed Immortal and the others. Even the trap that caught their opponents was meticulously set up by Shin.

It was another situation where Chaotic Luck witness how good Shin was at strategic battle. He did not only catch their opponents off-guard, but he also separated the group successfully just like what have planned.

Everything went according to the 'script' that he had written.

On top of that, Immortal was also fully suppressed and unable to help the other members of his group.

All Chaotic Luck did was follow the instructions that Shin had given him during the battle. He followed every order given to him and he surprisingly cornered Immortal to the point the so-called god of necromancers ran away from the current battlefield.

As the master of his summons, Chaotic Luck felt a little ashamed that Shin was much better than him at controlling his forces.

But at the very least, he learned quite a lot of things from that battle. He learned how to properly use the battle formations that Shin had taught him as well as how to utilize the terrain of the surroundings.

But at the same time, learning and application were two different things. Chaotic Luck might have learned the basics from Shin, but that didn't mean he could apply them in battle.

And right now, he was left alone to fight his former idol, the peak of necromancers, the Lich God Immortal, without anyone's help.

Shin and the others might have built his confidence, but his inferiority complex was still in there, especially with his current situation.

He was confident when they were facing the Sweepers when they first arrive in this place. But that was because Owen was properly protecting him from any attacks that could harm him.

"Can I really do it?" muttered Chaotic Luck to himself while looking at the battle up ahead.

And when he was doubting himself, he saw Immortal summon a pair of high-ranking undead monsters and sent them to the battlefield.

As a former fan of the Lich God, Chaotic Luck was naturally familiar with the signature skills that Immortal had. And due to that, he instantly recognized the identity of the two undead that were just summoned.

"The Death Knight and Perfect Ghoul!" shouted Chaotic Luck to himself and started to panic even more.

He didn't know what to do next as he was not skilled nor as quick as Shin when it came to controlling the battle formations of his legion.

Then he saw the Death Knight flanked his summoned undead from the side and started slaughtering everyone on their path. In the meantime, the Perfect Ghoul landed at the center of his army, breaking the formation their formation.

If he let this continue, then his Legion of Chaotic Sun would be wiped out in no time.

Chaotic Luck clenched his fists as he started thinking that he was going to lose. "Is it really going to be always like this?"

The more he doubted himself, the more he was reminded of his past experiences. It started at the time when he was still an average player, then he proceeded to be outcasted by his friends. He remembered the time when he struggled to be a good player.

There was also the time during his stay at the Blind Abyss Empire. That was also when he discovered a special inheritance of a powerful Lich. His former teammates tried to rob it from him and he was cased by them after that.

Then he discovered the fallen god deep within the Ancient Ruins who also granted him a special power. That was also the time when gained his current class.historical

What followed after that was his encounter with Shin. This was also where everything changed. He followed Shin and partook in their adventures before joining their Adventure Team.

He also became a celebrity in a sense after that. Though, he was aware that he only rode the prestige of the real celebrities within their group.

Compared to them, he was still just an average player who just happened to have a lucky encounter. Everyone in the Empyrean Talons was an expert in their own field. His class might be special but the others didn't lose in that area either.

Now that he thought about it, he was still the weakest member of their group despite having an overpowered class.

Chaotic Luck was about to become dejected when he suddenly remembered his conversation with Shin before.

...

"Big Brother, why did you let me join your Adventurer Team?"

"It is because you are qualified, obviously."

"I am not that strong. I will be fine just by following you, actually."

"Hahaha! You may be unaware of it but you have a very powerful weapon in you. And you also have a lot of potential too. I'm confident that you will be fine. What you need is to become confident in yourself."

"B-But-…"

"Chaos, do you trust me?"

"Eh? Y-yes! Yes, of course, Big Brother!"

"Then just trust me! You can doubt yourself and your abilities, but trust my words, you are much stronger than what you believe."

...

Chaotic Luck also remembered the words that Shin told him earlier before he was assigned to deal with Immortal.

...…

"I've already thought you how to use your summons, all you have to do now is follow what you've learned up until now."

"Remember, you are no longer your former self. You now possess a pair of wings – what you need to do now is spread them wide and fly in the sky just like those people that you always look up to."

...…

Recalling those words of encouragement, the look in Chaotic Luck's eyes suddenly became clear.

His mind was no longer clouded by useless thoughts and his objective became clear. "My job is not to defeat Immortal but to keep him busy until Big Brother Shin and the rest are done on their side.

A determined look could be seen on his face as he looked ahead and observe the battle. "It is already too late to re-establish the formation, so it is better to reset the battle where it begins."

He took a Master Rank Mana Potion from his inventory and drank it with a couple of gulps, restoring his Mana Pool back to full.

After that, he put his hands together, doing a series of signs, and also muttering a magic chant.

'Solaris Lich Spell (Tier 1): Sacrificial Ceremony'

'Basic Combat Technique: Magic Link'

'Solaris Lich Spell (Tier 1): Solar Combustion'

...

At the center of the battlefield, the Death Knight and the Perfect Ghoul, who were busy slaughtering the opposing forces suddenly sense an immense danger.

They couldn't pinpoint the source of that feeling since it was coming from every direction. And due to their instincts telling them to run away as soon as possible, the two immediately get into action.

But they could also sense that it was already too late, so they quickly used their defensive skills instead of running away.

'Death Knight Skill: Shadow Cloak'

'Perfect Ghoul Skill: Flesh Barrier'

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Then a series of explosions could be heard as all of the skeleton soldiers from the Legion of Chaotic Sun exploded one after another.

The explosions were not that strong but since there was a series of them, the opposing skeleton warriors were taken down alongside them, especially when their sun fire energy was effective against the corrupted undead.

In the meantime, the fire that was produced by those explosions was sucked towards a single direction, the direction where the giant skeleton gorilla was standing.

Due to the powers that were continuously being poured on its body, its strength was also constantly growing stronger.

Roar!

Boom!

Then it released a powerful roar that sent a strong shockwave in every direction, killing the remaining skeleton warriors that managed to survive the previous explosions. Even the strange bone monsters that it was fighting earlier were also killed in the process.

When everything was over, no one was left in the area aside from the giant skeleton gorilla, the two high-ranking undead monsters who used their defensive skills to survive, the Death Knight and Perfect Ghoul.

When the two released their Shadow Cloak and Flesh Barrier respectively, they were immediately greeted by the aftermath of the explosion, a fully scorched land in the middle of a snowy field.

Then they turn their attention to the giant skeleton gorilla that now had a much stronger presence than the two of them.

They stood at each side of the blazing skeleton beast and got ready for the battle.

In meantime, Immortal was currently wearing a dark expression on his face as he did not expect that the opposing side would decisively sacrifice their own army just to get rid of his.

But at the same time, he also had to admit that it was the perfect decision at that time. After all, it was already guaranteed that he won that battle.

"But it still works for me since I now have sacrificed enough mana to use that skill. All I have to do is look for my real opponent," he muttered before casting his gaze at the forest in the distance.

He was about to give an order to the Death Knight and Perfect Ghoul when he saw another army of Solaris Undead waking out from the forest.

He was planning to let the Death Knight deal with the skeleton gorilla while the Perfect Ghoul would look for the opposing summoner. But now that it came to this, he had no choice but to change that plan.

Immortal waved his hand, commanding the remaining units of undead soldiers around him to march forward and get ready for the next round.
