Child of Destiny Chapter 290 The Initial Hunt

...…

Seeing that his opponents were now taking him very seriously, Shin couldn't help but beco a little more excited. He was going to deal with so skilled players after all.

He was also quite excited to test out so of the tricks that he gained during his Awakening Quest, so this was the perfect ti to try them up before using them as his regular set of tricks.

Naturally, he was not foolish enough to use all of his hidden cards in just the first round of the tournant. What he wanted to try was his newly improved combat techniques and his better control over his skills.

Having these thoughts, Shin quickly assud his battle stance once again. But he was not using his sword drawing this ti. Instead, he was using an average yet unusual stance.

First, he spread his legs widely and squatted his hips while placing his left foot forward. Then he lowered his left arm a little and pointed the longsword on his left hand towards his opponents. At the sa ti, his other arm was also lowered in a relaxed manner as he let the tip of the [Yamato] to almost touch the ground.

The guys on the opposing side suddenly beca tense when they saw that Shin was taking his battle stance and getting ready for the battle.

The lee players couldn't even help themselves but gulp a mouthful of saliva as they already experienced Shin's strength first hand. At the sa ti, the range and magical players at the back took a few steps backwards to make sure that Shin would not be able to get near them easily.

Unfortunately, they already fell on the hidden sche the mont they took notice of Shin's stance. That was why Shin couldn't help but release so chuckles the mont he saw their actions.

After that, Shin imdiately made his move. He kicked the ground beneath him and sent himself striding forward.

Seeing that Shin was finally coming their way, the opposing side imdiately responded accordingly. The Human Guardian and Shield Warrior of the group quickly rushed forward and planned to et Shin head-on.

At the sa ti, the two Master Berserkers and the Human Swordsman were left behind to build the second wall of defense in case Shin managed to get past the two Knights.

On the other hand, the trio of the Archer, Musketeer and Elentalist at the backline were not idle either. The forr two were already taking aim at Shin with their respective bow and rifle, trying to snipe him down if ever he made a one wrong move.

anwhile the sole magical class of the group was already chanting out a strange spell. With the fluctuations of mana from the air, Shin could tell this was a sowhat troubleso spell.

These three didn't imdiately attack Shin when he was assuming his battle stance, afraid that their attacks would be deflected once again just like what happened earlier. And that was why they were making sure that they were not underestimating Shin this ti.

One look at their battle formations and wordless communication, even a fellow expert would be mistaken and think that this group was a team of players that was always partying with each other.

But even after seeing their actions, Shin was still calmly charging forward as if everything was going according to the plan. He was even smirking inside as he continued to rush towards his opponents.

And when he reached a few ters away from the two knights charging at him, he suddenly leaped forward before raising the [Yamato] over his head and planning to swing it downwards.

Seeing those seemingly foolish actions from Shin, the guys from the other side couldn't help but beco a little suspicious.

Based on Shin's battle strength alone, they could already tell that he was not a type of person that was not going to do sothing aningless, much less doing this kind of obvious mistake. But even if they had that thought in mind, they still couldn't bring themselves to ignore such an easy beef in front of them.

Given that, the trio at the back of the group chose to trust the guys in their front before raising their weapons and pointing it at Shin with an intention of blasting him off no matter what kind of sche he was planning.

When he saw that three had taken the back, Shin suddenly ford a smirking smile behind his mask before proceeding to the step of the plan.

'Equipnt Skill (Lower Armor: gumi's Shadow): Death Travel'

Then he suddenly disappeared from his spot on the very next instant, making everyone to have a sudden chill that ran through their spines.

"Sh*t!" was the only would that they could think off as they all knew that everything was already too late.

Shin was already right in front of the Elentalist and currently in the middle of swinging his sword downwards while saying. "Let's start with you."

'Extra Skill: Destructive Slash'

Stunned!

Being caught off-guard, the Elentalist's movents were imdiately immobilized after he had gotten hit by that attack. And when he realized his situation, he already knew that he was going to die if his 'comrades' didn't help him in ti.

Naturally, the guys on his side wanted to salvage the situation. But before the Archer and Musketeer could even do anything, Shin suddenly turned his head at them. Then yet another chill suddenly ran though their backs, which also forced them to move away from their current spots.

The five lee players, on the other hand, found themselves staring blankly at the scene. Since they were building a good wall of defense earlier, the distance between them and their backline mbers was quite far; especially that two knights charging in the forefront.

Due to this considerable distance, they already know that it was to save the Elentalist even if they wanted to rush back and help him. And just like what they had expected, Shin imdiately executed the Elentalist with a simple cycle of his lee skills.

'Self-Created Skill (Personalized): Triple Slash'

'Slayer Skill: Solar Cut'

'Slayer Skill: Hell Execution'

Executed!

The consecutive execution of these skills was quite fast, making it hard for the two range players to help the Elentalist even if they wanted to give him so help.

After killing his first target, Shin took a quick glaze at the Archer and Musketeer, who move away from him in different directions.

"Quite clever, huh" muttered Shin as he knew that these two were forcing him to choose between the two. And if he chose either one of them, the lee guys were going to arrive in ti to protect the other even if he managed to kill that next target.

But Shin was not a total beginner on the ga now, so it was natural for him to know that Archers had a quite number of escaping skills on their arsenal.

anwhile, the Musketeers had a few mont skills that they could use in escaping since their battle style was to take advantage of the terrain of the battlefield. And with this simple arena type of battlefield, this Musketeer was in a huge disadvantage.

Having these thoughts in mind, Shin didn't wait for anything more and imdiately rushed towards that Musketeer without having any kind of delay.

"F*ck!" The Musketeer started to panic when he saw Shin choose him as the second target, especially the mont he saw the movent speed that Shin had.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Afraid that he was going to follow the footsteps of the Elentalist earlier, the Musketeer imdiately started moving backwards and fired a barrage of magic bullets at Shin's direction while also empowering so of them with his skills.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Cling! Clang! Cling!

Amidst of these series of gunshots, Shin just did so dodging maneuvers to avoid each of the raining magic bullets. And with his zigzag movents, not a single attack managed to land on his body. Sotis, he was also swinging both of his swords left and right to deflect the bullets that he couldn't dodge.

Seeing that his attacks were not too effective to slow down Shin, the Musketeer decided to abandon the idea of kitting him and focus on running away with a thought of trying to buy more ti for his teammates to help him.

At the sa ti, the Archer in the opposite direction kept on releasing so arrows from his bow and sent them towards Shin. But as if Shin had a pair of eyes at the back of his head, not a single arrow landed at him as he managed to dodge all of them in a leisure manner; the sa for the skills that he sent in the mix.

So, the Musketeer started to break in a cold sweat the mont he noticed that the distance between him and Shin was continuously decreasing instead of increasing.

Thinking that he couldn't escape this current predicant, this Musketeer decided to gamble in a do-or-die mont. With his thought, he gritted his teeth and waited for the chance that he was hoping for.

A mont later, Shin finally caught up with the Musketeer and was planning to kill him for as fast as he could. And with things reaching this point, the latter suddenly turned his body around while pointing the muzzle of his magic rifle right in front of Shin's face.

The Musketeer suddenly smirked at Shin when he saw this and said. "Goodbye~!" while pulling the trigger of his rifle and using the sure-kill skill that he had.

'Gunslinger Skill (Tier 2): Headshot Kill'

Bang!

The Musketeer was already grinning widely when the reinforced magic bullet left the barrel of his rifle and passed through Shin's head. But his eyes suddenly turned wide the mont he realized that he didn't get the notification that he killed Shin; the one that he shot was actaully an afterimage!

'Epic Combat Technique: Ghost Evanescent'

Then he suddenly heard a cold voice behind him, saying. "Nice try, but better luck next ti."

After that, a sword suddenly stabbed from the back of the Musketeer and ca out at his chest, stunning him in the process.

Puchi!

'Extra Skill: Heart Seeker'

Stunned!

Shin quickly pulled the [Nesis Nullifier] back before throwing a six-consecutive stab at the Musketeer while targeting all of his vital spots.

'Extra Skill: Multiple Stabs'

Sha! Sha! Sha!

Then Shin finished off the Musketeer with a one final thrust of his sword that pierced through the body of the latter.

'Extra Skill (Tier 2): Flash of Life'

Executed!

And after killing him, Shin turned his head at the remaining guys and muttered to himself. "That's two down, and 6 more to go."
