Child of Destiny Chapter 196 It Begins

...…

When everyone were done preparing with their things, Shin brought Lawless' team and Simba towards a certain coordinate that S.Tigris had gave to Lawless, using Hanzo's teleportation gate. And that place was quite near to the Corrupted Nest that they were targeting.

This was one of Shin's arrangents actually. The mont he heard that there were so internal conflicts in the ranks of the Wing's Alliance, he imdiately rejected the idea of letting the mbers of both S.Tigris group and Eternal Hope adventurer team know about their collaboration, especially that those two groups were already announced to their mbers that they were teaming up with each other.

This was one of the habits the he picked up after being trained in one of the training camps of the Black Serpent Mafia; and after being raised by a Military Family such as the Springfield Family. 'Never trust soone that you didn't completely know'. If even the people that you were most familiar with could be a spy from the opposing side, then what's more the people that you just had t?

Given that, Shin would never let others to know all about his arrangents, especially it was soone that didn't trust. As for the players inside the VIP room earlier? Well, he completely trusted Simba so no need to question this guy; the sa for the duo of Lawless and Faker.

S.Tigris and Black Hand, on the other hand was not an issue either. Well, unless these two were a pair of complete idi*ts, then they were more than welco to ruin their own High-Ranking Quest with a difficulty of Hell(SSS ).

And since Simba reassured him that the duo of Gino and Audrey were pretty much loyal people, Shin didn't concern about them anymore. The sa goes for the group of Kazuki and his teammates as all of the previous mbers of the Brutal Team had an old beef with Immortal that couldn't be erase easily. They rather sell their lives to a Demon than to forgive Immortal to what he have done to them before.

Given that, Shin and the others would be eting with S.Tigris and the Eternal Hope a little mbers later. Then sa goes for the group of Kazuki, Xychz, Sunny and Shizio.

And after walking out the Teleportation Gate, the group imdiately assud their positions as they beca on high alert to check out the surroundings. And when they confird that there were no other monsters in the vicinity, they regrouped once again to finalized their next moves that they were going to do.

"So, what's next now? Should we wait for the others or should we proceed moving forward?" asked Ravier as he walked towards the others. And naturally, his question was directed to Shin as this guy was the one that formulated their current plans.

Shin thought for a mont and said. "Let's wait for a little more while scouting the Nest for another ti. Hearing about it and seeing it for ourselves are two different things. We may even get so additional informations from our opponents that way, and learn more about this place."

The others nodded their heads and about to move out, they were a group of experts after all, so they didn't to receive so more orders to realize what was needed to be done. What's more, S.Tigris's group and the mbers of the Eternal Hope Adventurer Team, still needed so ti to arrive at the place; the sa went for Kazuki and his teammates. Given those, they still had a lot of ti to do their plans.

But before the entire team managed to separate into so pairings, Simba suddenly walked towards Morgan and gave him an item that looked like a card.

"Hey, John. Use this card first before moving out. This is a Pardon Card, it will help you remove your weakened state imdiately after being used," said Simba as he passed that card-like item on Morgan.

"Eh!?" Morgan was taken aback at first at the sudden event. Then he hesitated for a mont as he was not sure whether he was going to take the item or not.

And while Morgan was caught in a dilemma, Shin suddenly chid in and said to him. "Take it, John. Don't tell that you are going to treat Leo as soone that you didn't know."

Of course, Morgan was aware of that, the problem here was Leonard's identity inside the ga. Even if they had undergone so quite risky missions before; those were given to Shin and Arthur as their special assignnts, he was still not comfortable receiving so help from Simba. The in-ga status of this guy in front of him was quite high for him to take this kind of help.

Simba suddenly released so chuckles when he saw the word hesitation practically written on Morgan's face. Then he said imdiately after that. "Co on, Brother John. You should take this card and use it. Don't tell that you wanted to fight along with us with that kind of weakened strength? You are just going to beco a dead-weight and burden us further instead of giving us so help, you know."

This ti Simba was stating facts that couldn't be argued with. So, when Morgan heard what Simba had said, he didn't hesitate anymore and took the card item from the latter's hand and imdiately used it. And the mont he crushed the item card, a dazzling radiance was suddenly released from the card and enfolded his body. Imdiately after that, he felt there was an invisible waterfall that was washing away so stains on his body with an incredible speed.

p

"What!?" Morgan was taken aback at what was currently happening. He even opened his Status Window almost instantly to make sure that he was not imagining things. And sure enough, the mont he saw what was written on his Status Window, he couldn't help himself but did a double take on it as he saw that his level had gone up with five more levels.

"This! This! This!..." Morgan kept repeating the sa words as he was pointing his right-hand index finger at the virtual screen in front of him that was unseen for the others.

Aside from Simba who was clear about what was happening, Shin and the others in the group were staring at Morgan with a face that was full of confusion and questioning looks.

Naturally, Morgan was aware of their questions but he was too shocked at what had happened. Even if he was able to recover himself a little, he still couldn't talk properly because of what he saw, so he just shared his basic information to the others.

And the others were taken aback when they saw the Level on Morgan's status window. Shin and the others knew that he lost so levels when he sacrificed himself to let Lawless, Faker and Charlotte escaped from Immortal's grasp; five levels to be exact. Fortunately, he managed to recover those levels when they won the battle.

So, his level was supposedly at 105 currently. But now, his level was clearly shown as level-110, aning he gained an additional 5 levels sowhere; or to be more precise, he gained it after using the item card that Simba had given him.

After that, all of them simultaneously turned their heads at Simba and looked at him with a face that was full of questions. It was as if they were literally saying. – "What did you do, man? Mind if you share it to us?" –

Lawless, Faker and the others naturally heard about the Pardon Cards before since they were a group of expert players after all. But at the sa ti, this was their first ti hearing a Pardon Card that had this kind of effects. Much less, seeing it for the first ti and witnessing it firsthand.

Simba smiled bitterly when he saw the expressions on their face. Then he explained about it a little. "It was a Superior Pardon Card. I brought it from the 'God of War Temple' a long ti ago but I don't have an opportunity to use it, so it is better for to give it to John now, given our current circumstances. "

– "That was not what we ant." – Is what the expression of the faces of the group after hearing that.

Unfortunately for them, Simba just ignored their questioning looks and took another batch of item-cards from his inventory bag before distributing it to every mber of the group one by one.

Shin and the others were currently looking at Simba with blank faces as they unconsciously received the cards that the latter had given them.

And when they were still at their dazed state, Simba started explaining the uses of the cards on their hands. "These cards are 'rcy Cards'. They were specially use to avoid so death penalty caused by so curses or a usage of so forbidden skill. Use it so that you guys can negate the curses of the Undead Monsters if they manage to kill you. They will not able to turn you into a high-ranking undead monster either even if you die. And don't worry, the contribution points that I need to buy these things is quite a drop of my total contribution points."

And that was when the others managed to recover themselves. But before anything else, they checked the details of the cards on their hands.

3 days(In-ga ti) after being activated or unless the user dies.

Note: After activating this card, the user will not be able to use another one until one day had passed after being revived.

----------------------

Whistle~

Shin couldn't help but whistle after seeing the details of the card. Then he muttered to himself a little after. "Talking about perfect things on a perfect ti. These little thing here perfectly fits our current situation."

And then Shin activated the rcy Card, enfolding himself with a brilliant white light imdiately after activating. The sa did for the others.

After that, the team started grouping up with each other. Shin was paired with Simba, Lawless would go with Stephanie and Morgan while Ravier and Ember will naturally be together, and Hayden would be teaming up with Faker.

And imdiately after that, the scattered at different directions to checked out the surrounding terrains and scout the Corrupted Nest from a distance.

A whole hour had passed when the group t on their eting place once again. Then they shared the detailed maps that each group had drew to Shin and Morgan to do the final detailed map.

And when they were done with that, Shin made so final adjustnts for their team for the upcoming battle and explained it to his teammates.

Then they waited for another hour for the other groups arrived at their destination. And without further ado, they imdiately went to the coordinates that Shin had sent to them.

Naturally, S.Tigris and his group were together with the Eternal Hope Adventurer Team mbers; these guy would be the so-called 'main force' to lure the corrupted monsters on outside the walls of the fallen outpost. In short, they were going to be the decoys.

anwhile, Kazuki and his group would be hiding in the vicinity near this group, as they were going to be a look out for them. They would only appear when sothing unexpected happened.

At the sa ti, Shin and the others were on the other side of the Corrupted Nest which was completely on the opposite end of the previous group. They were here because they were planning to sneak inside the Nest.

Shin didn't dare to risk entering the enemies' core using Hanzo's teleportation gate either, since there might be so traps waiting for them in that place. What's more, their opponents might be also aware about the teleportation ability of his Void Reaper, so it was better to take things step by step with a little slow manner.

This seed to be unfair to Shin and the others, since the other guys were not going to do so risky moves as they only needed to lure as much as many corrupted monsters that they could. But no one questioned it since, this current group of Shin and the others were group of high-class experts. Well, that was aside from Shin, but that was not a big deal either especially since Simba was with them.

And given all of those, another battle was about to start as Shin and the others would now be going to face so corrupted 'people' and monsters at this upcoming siege for the Thirteenth Outpost.
