Child of Destiny

…

Watching the ongoing battle, Diablo and Alucard remained hidden from everyone’s sight.

“Are we still not making our move? This is a good chance to capture that old friend of yours,” said Alucard, along with a slight frown.

“There is no need to rush. The twin is still there, so they will not lose that easily, especially when Poseidon is in that state,” said Diablo before casting his gaze toward Leviathan.

“Moreover, I want to confirm something,” he added along with a somewhat heavy tone. “Leviathan is one of the trickiest ones among the Seven Devils, so dealing with him requires absolute caution.”

“Have you seen how tricky that clone was earlier? It appears all of a sudden, without showing any signs until it killed Njord,” he continued, implying something.

Alucard immediately realized something and asked. “Are you telling me that the Leviathan that Poseidon was fighting was just a clone?”

Diablo thought for a moment before nodding his head. “It is more accurate to say that it may be one of his elite puppets.”

“That guy’s class is a bit tricky, the Evil Puppeteer. Aside from that, the ‘Devil’s Advocate’ is a standard secondary class of all the Seven Devils, which propelled their overall combat strength to an extremely high level.”

“What we should be focusing on is to look for the real body before making our move,” he said while focusing his eyes on possible traces on the field.

“Such a realistic clone,” said Alucard while focusing his Sanguine Eyes on the entire battlefield.

Unfortunately, he could not find any signs of his target, especially due to the current weather.

…

In the meantime, Felix and Felicia were planning to make their move.

“Should we lend a hand now? Even if Poseidon is quite prideful and refuses our assistance, I feel that we should take down Leviathan as soon as possible,” said Felix, while adding. “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

Felicia did not immediately respond to her twin brother. She was dedicating all her focus on the battle between Poseidon and Leviathan, wanting to see their full strength.

It was quite rare to personally witness a battle between top god-level players, so this was a rare chance to study their styles and understand the current battle prowess that she currently possessed.

Seeing her acting like this, Felix could not help but sigh a little, understanding what his twin sister was currently feeling.

Even if Felicia possessed such an overwhelming power, she did not have much chance to showcase those powers since she did not have any rival in such a desolate and isolated place.

He also understood that she was quite itching for a fight right now, particularly someone who was at Poseidon and Leviathan’s level.

While Felicia was absorbed in the ongoing battle, Felix suddenly sensed something, causing his eyes to turn wide.

“Sis!” he shouted, snapping Felicia out of her trance.

Swoosh!

She also swiftly responded and immediately grabbed Felix before suddenly using a Teleportation Spell to bring him out of this place.

BOOM!

Not long after, the spot where they were standing previously exploded, followed by the appearance of a massive demonic beast that looked like a hybrid between a shark, a bull, and a human.

It possessed humanoid features that made it look like a minotaur, but with the head of a shark. Its spine was also connected to a long tail that resembled that of a shark, while its muscular body was the same as that of a real minotaur.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Not long after, more of these creatures appeared one after another before diving into the violent flood that Poseidon had created and riding the raging tide to swing toward the twin.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Felix quickly activated his ocular skill and used ‘inspect’ on these creatures to look into their basic details. He later realized that this bunch was Demonic Shark People that Leviathan had brought and transformed after activating some sort of transformation scroll.

It was also at this moment that he found out that the members of the Titan Guild, who were fighting those demonic players, had been wiped out.

“No wonder Poseidon is going crazy with his attacks. His people have been wiped out,” he commented before taking out his weapon, which looked like a twin-headed sword. “I guess I have to showcase my skills a little.”

His strange sword had a blade that looked like the head of a military fork weapon that only had two spikes. The blade of this weapon was like a pair of swords joined together with a considerable gap between them.

“Leave these guys to me, Sis,” he chuckled as he stepped into the raging tides before him, before walking through the surface.

Upon closer inspection, those keep eyes could see the subtle flow of mana at the bottom of his soles, which let him walk on the unsteady surface of water.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The Demonic Shark People suddenly pounced at him one after another, seemingly planning to rip him into shreds along with their sharp teeth and deadly jaws.

In response to their actions, Felix calmly raised his strange sword, twirling it a little.

However, he did not use this sword to attack the incoming opponents. Instead, he lightly tapped his finger into the blades of the sword, letting them vibrate intensely.

Ting~! Ting~! Ning~!

‘Thousand Season Sound Arts: The Autumn’s Breeze’

The vibration between the twin blades resonated with one another, producing a series of ringing sounds that reverberated throughout the surroundings.

These ringing sounds then created a series of ripples in the air around Felix, which blocked the incoming attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As if an invisible wall was blocking them, all the Demonic Shark People were stopped on their tracks, even slamming into these ‘walls’.

While they were suspended in the air, Felix suddenly tapped the blades of his sword for another time, producing yet another reverberating sound in the air.

Ting~! Ning~! Ning~!

‘Thousand Season Sound Arts: The Summer Sonata’

BOOM!

Not long after, an explosion suddenly erupted!

This explosion was so deafening that it shocked the minds of the Demonic Shark People surrounding him.

Along with the strong shockwave that this explosion had produced, all the enemies surrounding him were blasted away and sent flying in different directions.

Boom!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

This initial display of power also attracted the attention of the two god-level experts, who were fighting in the distance.

Poseidon and Leviathan were forced to pause their exchange for a moment, turning their heads toward Felix’s direction.

Poseidon was quite surprised since this level of power far exceeded the level that they had gotten from their information networks.

It was clear that Felix was much stronger than their initial estimate and far exceeded their expectations.

He was a god-level player without a doubt!

“This guy has hidden himself quite deeply,” mumbled Poseidon, renewing his initial view of this previous guild leader of a supposedly average guild.

In the meantime, Leviathan slightly raised his brows while intently staring at Felix.

“Interesting,” mumbled Leviathan after a while, especially when recalling how his people were blasted away by the earlier explosion.

Looking at the strange sword in Felix’s hand, Leviathan seemed to have recalled something. “A combination of swordsmanship and sound arts – this kid must be from that ancient sect that managed to pass down their legacy even today.”

“The Divine Sound Sect,” he mumbled, recalling some information from the archive of the Pandemonium Descendants.

…

“Divine Sound Sect?”

In the distance, Alucard could not help but ask once again after hearing what Diablo had said.

Diablo nodded his head before continuing. “That’s right. The Divine Sound Sect. It is an ancient sect that has managed to pass down its legacy up to this age.”

“There is a special archive within the organization that lists these kinds of powers in the real world.”

“I am not sure why such information is listed in the archive, but Lucifer has warned us to be careful when facing these powers, aside from the ones that are already known to everyone.”

“There are a lot of powers listed in there, such as the Warrior Tribes of the Lost Archipelago and Ancient Sects that manage to retain a part of their legacies and are currently in isolation.”

“I am not sure why Lucifer is warning us about them, but he specifically tells us to take note of the individuals who happen to fall into these categories.”

He then paused for a moment before continuing. “But recently, I have realized that most of these people have either become the main target of assassination of the Pandemonium Descendants or have been invited to join the organization.”

“From my investigation, most of these people have even gained a decent footing within the organization.”

“I am not sure what they are planning, but I’ve got a feeling that it is quite a huge plot that they are scheming, especially when all these experts that have joined them are also communicating with the organization, even in the real world, which also involves the huge powers behind them.”

Alucard might not understand everything Diablo had said, but he could tell it might concern something huge in the real world, especially after considering all the major events happening outside recently.

‘It seems like I also have to report this to the higher-ups,” he thought, sensing a big scheme was going on in the shadows.
