Child of Destiny

Chapter 1410: The Might of the Battle God (Part 2): Graveyard of Swords

...…

Shin immersed himself in his current state, trying his best to familiarize himself with it. He then turned toward the army of ice golems and frost puppets before knitting his brow.

Given the opposing sideʼs numbers, he knew it would take a lot of trouble before he could wipe them out. Moreover, he could also tell that they were much more powerful than the ones he had fought earlier.

Adding their perfect coordination and seamless synchronized attacks, Shin fully understood that this was not going to be easy.

There was also Leviathan in his demonic transformation, giving off a dangerous feeling.

Thinking about this, Shin decided to ʼcallʼ some reinforcements. Using the skills attached to his mask, he summoned the Sun and Moon Clones before fusing them.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

At the same time, he also summoned the Phantom Clone through the ʼPhantom Apparitionʼ Skill.

The two clones stood on each side of Shin while releasing a very dangerous air. The Eclipse Clone was emitting a purple glow that was flowing upwards continuously while the Phantom Clone was shrouded with a black mist that was making its body flicker repeatedly.

The strength of these clones had reached a whole other level after Shin had been promoted to Tier 3 Class. Their stats were slightly stronger than Shin while their respective skills represented different styles that their summoner had.

Even Shin was slightly confused as he found that these clones were somewhat different from what he remembered when he had summoned them. They were also starting to resemble the ones that he had fought during his promotion quests.

Or more like a fusion of the two phantoms and two clones at that time?

He now realized that there was something more to these clones that he was unaware of. ”I guess I have to investigate more about them later when I have the time.”

He had a vague suspicion that this might be related to his secondary combat class, the Phantom Swordsman Class. After all, he was repeatedly hinted that Kentas, the creator of his class, was someone on equal terms to the NPCs with the title of a ʼHeroʼ.

He might even be a hero himself.

From what Berlin had said, Kentas was known as the Phantom King. Meanwhile, Longinus had casually mentioned Kentas being the ʼFirst Fallenʼ.

These clues were already pointing to something, so all he needed to do was to follow it and reach the end.

…

Shin was not planning to manually control these clones just like how he usually did. After all, keeping his current state active was already putting a heavy burden on his mind. He could not afford to divide his attention in this current state since it would instantly collapse even with the slightest slip in concentration.

He would be living them to the Battle AI of the System. Given his strength and combat prowess, these clones would be strong enough to fight the majority of the Peak Titled Rankers or even a couple of the unranked lesser Godlike Players in the bottom ranking.

It might not be enough to clash against someone of Leviathanʼs caliber in a head-on battle, but it was more than enough to deal with these ice golems and frost puppets.

Even Leviathan himself could sense that he would be having a hard time suppressing these clones with his current puppets.

Regardless, he could easily distinguish which was the real body given the different auras that they were emitting, so it was much easier to focus on the real target.

Or so he thought-…

Not long after that thought crossed his mind, Leviathan suddenly saw Shin and his clones summon nine phantoms each, resembling each other. Even if the ʼmainʼ bodies were releasing different types of auras that made them distinguishable from the other two, these phantoms were greatly identical to each other.

Leviathan was quite familiar with this skill since he had seen it from their database about Shin, especially when Shin was still known for being a famous Maverick Ranker with the moniker of ʼEmperor of the Nightʼ.

This was the very first signature skill that made that persona well-known to everyone.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The phantoms scattered in every direction blending in one another to cover the tracks of the other phantoms.
