Child of Destiny - Chapter 2049
Capítulo 2049: Chaos Observer
……
Staring at Luminous Dragon, who immediately positioned himself at a safe distance, Aoki could not help but squint his eyes a little.
“Those eyes-… could it be one of those special ocular abilities in the real world and manifested as an innate trait within the game?” he mumbled before pursing his lips. “These geniuses with unique talents sure are quite tricky to deal with.”
With just a single exchange, he acknowledged that Luminous Dragon was a much more troublesome opponent compared to Tyrant Dragon and Berserk Dragon, especially when his class belonged to the support and auxiliary class.
“Well, since our main job is to stall for time, I guess it will not hurt to just mark them properly,” he mumbled before suddenly taking a step to the side.
Swoosh!
Crackle! Crackle!
In the next instant, a flash of lightning flew past him, which turned into a humanoid figure immediately after.
Bang!
The ground exploded at the point of impact!
Swoosh!
Crackle! Crackle!
However, while the explosion sound was still reverberating in the air, another flash of lightning broke free from the cloud of smoke and dust and charged straight at him once again.
Aoki raised his brows a little, realizing that Tyrant Dragon must have regained his confidence after receiving another series of buffs from Luminous Dragon.
He also did not know if the two communicated with one another, but he could tell that Tyrant Dragon had become more aggressive. His aggression seemed to be somewhat abnormal as well. It was as if he was giving all his might with every attack and not caring for any negative consequences that might come with it.
“It seems like he trusts Luminous Dragon after the earlier exchange,” he mumbled while continuing dodge his opponent’s attacks with ease.
He was just taking a few steps to the side to dodge, letting all the lightning strikes of his opponent fly past him.
It was as if he was able to read through the trajectory of his opponent’s attacks ahead of time, making him respond to them in advance.
Moreover, he was also not moving away from his previous location for more than 3 meters, which meant that he was not taking his opponent’s attacks that seriously.
It was as if he was letting them continue their assault while he was observing each of their moves with his discerning eyes.
Aside from the first collision with Tyrant Dragon, Aoki did not use that strange move once again, making the two experts from the Dragon Pavilion believe that such an overpowered technique must have serious drawbacks and could only be used for a limited amount of time or chances.
They were not far from the truth. That ability, more specifically, was a secret technique he had gained after training through the special inheritance method of his family since he was still very young.
Even though he had already fully grasped it, it would still put his body and mind under a heavy burden.
He might not be able to stay for too long in that special state, but he could enter and exit it within an instant if he wanted to.
Through this, he could minimize the burden on his mind and body while also maximizing the effects of that state to the best he could.
He might want to finish this battle as soon as possible and with the best of his abilities. Unfortunately, even if he defeated these two with all of that, they would still respawn immediately later once the ‘throne’ changed owners.
There was still a little over three hours before this trial would end, so it was better to preserve his best state possible since he would most likely need his peak strength later.
However, this does not mean that he was not taking his opponents seriously. He was giving his all against these two since he knew that they were not people that he could afford to underestimate.
He just looked like taking this battle with ease because of the special ability that he currently had within the game.
It was a special ability that he had created with the unique trait of his race, which belonged to the Human Race category called Chaos Observer.
It was a special human race that possessed unique abilities meant for ocular skills and techniques.
It was Human Transcendent Race with a variety of abilities centering eye-type abilities.
Along with his special Transcendent Class called Spear Retribution and his unique methods concerning his Martial Arts in the real world, he was able to create a few special abilities within the game.
One of them was the inferior version of his special state and a strong ocular skill he called Chaos Eyes.
With the use of all of these, Aoki was able to keep up with his opponents without suffering that much pressure. He was also able to see through the movements of his opponent despite their extreme speed.
Swoosh!
Crackle! Crackle!
Along with the arcs of lightning dancing around him, Aoki repeatedly swung his spear, constantly blocking each attempt of his opponent to strike him.
Clang! Clang!
Bang!
Each swing of his spear accurately blocked all the incoming attacks, not giving the opposing side any clear opening.
Despite how powerful the techniques or skills thrown at him were, none of them managed to break through his defenses.
Even the Tier 2 Skills were easily broken by him, and the variety of ocular skills that he was using throughout the battle.
He was cycling through all these ocular skills, which he was swapping depending on different situations. He was using the perfect ocular skill in each situation, which made it hard for the opposing side to deal with.
The opposing side had no idea who he was, doing well despite Tyrant Dragon increasing the pace of his attacks and boosting his speed with evenmore powerful buffs, especially the ones that Luminous Dragon had provided.
Moreover, Aoki was also keeping his position without the three-meter radius circle that he kept moving around since the start of the battle.
Tyrant Dragon was slowly getting agitated due to all his attacks failing to hit their marks despite giving his all.
He might be a disciplined soldier in the real world, but this situation was way too much for his ego to endure. He was starting to lose his temper, which made Luminous Dragon quite worried.
Luminous Dragon had no idea what the abilities of their opponent were despite exchanging blows with him for quite a long time. He had observed the opposing side quite closely as well, making sure that he did not miss any detail, yet he still failed to figure out what were the things that this guy could do.
He could not even tell how this guy was doing all those things, much less understand his abilities.
Luminous Dragon could only rely on his abilities to keep up with the pace of his partner and try his best to respond to all the unexpected developments in battle.
Tyrant Dragon had already become somewhat unpredictable due to his insane speed, which was still growing faster the more he moved around.
The accumulation of lightning energy was also becoming stronger by generating more of it during his movements.
Luminous Dragon needed to keep the situation under control, making sure that their opponent would not be able to disrupt this rhythm and launch an unexpected ambush at him.
While also keeping up with this rate of battle, Luminous Dragon also needed to keep an eye on their surroundings and the other ongoing battles on the other side of the altar.
He could still see where Berserk Dragon and Ryoto were fighting, especially when the special effects of their respective skills and abilities were clearly producing a huge commotion in the distance.
It was just a pity that the members of the Black Market were directly at the opposite end of their side, making it impossible to see what was happening there.
However, since both Ryoto and Aoki were fighting here, their third member was most likely holding all three members from the Black Market by themselves on that side.
This made Luminous Dragon think that the person that the Heavenly Resto-Bar had sent to cover that side was most likely be more powerful than these two, which was even more absurd.
If that person was much more powerful than Aoki, or at least similarly powerful, then Luminous Dragon needed to re-evaluate his assessment of this hidden force.
They needed to consider them as an even more powerful force within the game and make more necessary arrangements against them later.
As for the undead army, they were continuing to grow their forces and establish a more solid formation that would block anyone who would be trying to climb the altar.
It was just a pity that none of the forces involved in this part of the trial wanted to deal with them. They were too busy fighting their respective battles at this moment.
Some of these undead creatures were trying to launch an ambush on the opposing parties from time to time. Unfortunately, they were only caught in the crossfire and got annihilated by the collateral damage caused by the intense battles occurring on the different battlefields.
While Luminous Dragon was doing all of this, he could not help but feel a very dreadful sensation throughout the battle.
He was not sure about it, but he felt that he was under an intense gaze, which made him quite wary of his surroundings.
He was not sure who was observing him, but it was giving him an intense, invisible pressure that made him somewhat intimidated.
