Child of Destiny

”Maybe I should experiment more,” he added as his arms seemed to disappear for a brief moment.

Thud!

Then a series of soft sounds could be heard as the wolves around him earlier started to fall one after another.

Arthur was currently wearing a confused look on his face. He didnʼt know what had gotten into these guys but he was sure that he would miss the fun if he didnʼt join them now.

He then picked up his spear and shield and quickly sprinted ahead to join the party. It looked like he ignored the fact that the other four were much stronger than usual.

The only thing that he had in mind right now was not to lose against them. And for him to do that, he needed to bring out his very best.

Arthur was playing the virtual games much longer than everybody else in the group. He liked playing games since he was young, even before Shin arrived in their place. As a prodigy who didnʼt have a worthy rival during that time, he could only enjoy the intense competition that the virtual games had.

Given this, Arthur should be the one who had the most experience with virtual games. Even more, experienced than Faker since that guy was obligated to carry the legacy of his family as the young master and the most talented assassin that was ever born in the Valentine Family.

Together with the competitive spirit that he had and the current atmosphere of the battlefield, alongside his vast experience in virtual games, Arthur unconsciously entered the ideal state that was needed for Reality Manifestation.

The golden aura covering his body took a sudden change. It became much fiercer and more majestic.

Arthur even felt that he could feel every micro-movement of his body.

This was a strange feeling for him. But he completely ignored it since he was too focused on fighting wolves and not wanting to be left behind by the group.

Then he started perceiving everything from a different point of view.

Everything around him. It looked like he could see all of them. The wolves, the ground, the snow, and even the state of the battle where the other four were fighting. All of them were very clear to his eyes.

He could even feel that he had grown a pair of eyes at the back of his head as he could clearly see what was happening behind him.

”What is this?” thought Arthur to himself as he started to notice the strange event happening to him.

He was not sure what it was but he continued to fight regardless. He even started utilizing this strange ability that he suddenly gained out of nowhere to the fullest.

Each of his movements became more solid and much steadier, his spearmanship became more refined, and his utilization of Mana reached a whole other realm – it looked like he was manipulating it just like his Internal Qi.

”This is amazing!” Arthur started to enjoy this feeling.

He raised his head a little higher and looked at the wolves ahead of him. All of them were looking at him and growling. But despite all of that, they refused to move from their position.

They were looking at Arthur very ferociously but also seemed to fear him at the same time. They wanted to pounce at him but their bodies refused to move after seeing the pair of eyes that he currently had.

Those eyes with golden pupils and vertical slit irises were clearly warning them that they were going to die if they make any sudden moves.

*Ding*

A system notification rang in Arthurʼs ears but he completely ignored it.

He looked at the wolves in front of him and spoke. ”Whatʼs wrong little puppies? Arenʼt you enjoying chasing after us before? Where is your previous ʼenthusiasmʼ go? Playtime is not over yet.”

The wolves couldnʼt understand what he was saying, but their instincts were telling them that a higher being was currently standing right in front of them.

They couldnʼt see it but they could sense it through his eyes. A golden dragon was definitely standing behind Arthur and currently looking at them with its majestic eyes.

Then Arthur swung his spear at those wolves, releasing a crescent golden energy from its tip that swept through everything.

Roar!

A loud and majestic roar could even be heard alongside that swing, creating an illusion where a dragon was swinging its claws at those wolves.

With those four gods on the loose, the whole wolf den turned into a slaughterhouse where those wolves were being butchered.

They seemed to have forgotten the reason why they were in this place. It looked like it was not important anymore as they were more focused on the new summit that they had reached.
