Child of Destiny-Chapter 905 The Undying Army And The Legion Of Chaotic Sun (Part 3)

...…

At the edge of the forest.

Swoosh!

Immortal dashed out of the woods backward, keeping his eye in front of him full of cautiousness. Based on the solemn expression that he was making, someone or something was chasing after him.

Crack! Crack!

Crash!

Then the sound of the falling trees could be heard coming from the woods. Hearing that Immortal was forced to cast Blink and teleport away from the edge of the forest.

Boom!

Then an explosion occurred as the broken trunks and branches of the trees were sent flying in the air.

Alongside it, a massive body made of the bones of different creatures fell on the ground a few meters away from Immortal.

Bang!

The strong impact caused an intense tremor on the ground, making Immortal have an unsteady footing. But even if that was the case, Immortal refused to take his eyes away from the forest.

The broken bones from the body of the strange undead creature were falling from the air. But right after they landed on the ground, they were immediately absorbed in the body of the undead creature, fixing its body back to its normal state.

The undead creature slowly stood up before charging back in the direction where it came from.

Boom!

But right before it entered the forest, another strange creature greeted it and pushed it back once again.

Roar!

The other creature seemed to be another undead since it had a skeletal body. And based on the structure of its body, it seemed like this creature was created from the corpse of a huge gorilla.

Aside from that, these pair of undead creatures also represented different types of powers. One of them was emitting dark smoke from its body as a clear indication of corrupted mana. On the other hand, the other creature was covered by a blazing flame composed of sacred properties.

The two undead monsters refused to move as if they were waiting for orders from their masters. They stayed still and growled threateningly at each other.

In the meantime, Immortal continued to wear a solemn expression. He might have survived the ambush earlier, but it still led him to be isolated away from his group. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

He already had an idea who were the ones who ambushed them. And since the special features of the skeleton soldiers that he fought earlier, he knew that it was from the Legion of the Chaotic Sun that was gaining a solid reputation recently.

He tried to locate the summoner earlier but failed to do so. It seemed like the opposing side had an item or a special skill that could prevent others from discovering them.

Now that his situation was already like this, he didn't have a choice but to face the problem head-on. He could read the intention of the opposing side, since they didn't try to eliminate him earlier, then it was obvious that they planning to fight the rest of the Silent Night while he was separated from them.

"It looks like they are confident with the skills of their necromancer. I wonder how skilled is this so-called Herald of Chaos," said Immortal as he lightly tapped the bottom of his bone scepters on the ground.

His actions sent a ripple on the ground that lasted for a second. And immediately after that, countless skeleton warriors started crawling out from the ground.

'Demonic Occultist Spell (Tier 2): Rise of the Undead Army'

The skeleton soldiers stood up one after another while picking up their weapons. They were wielding a variety of weapons, representing a variety of classes within the game.

Each of them was emitting black smoke just like the massive undead creature made from a variety of bones and skulls.

Due to their appearance and the corrupted mana that their body was emitting, the surrounding area started to get contaminated. The white snow covering the grass on the ground was slowly melting while the land was showing some signs of withering.

This was the infamous Undying Army of Immortal. And having it summoned on an open land created a heavy and eerie atmosphere that could suffocate the living.

In the meantime, the giant skeleton gorilla with a blazing head continued to growl at the army of undead in front of him while looking ferociously at the giant undead monsters standing in the middle.

From the aggressive growls that it was released, it seemed like it was unafraid of the Undying Army in front of it.

And it was because it was not alone.

Not long after, skeleton soldiers donned in crimson armor and a blazing heads started to walk out of the forest one after another. They formed a formation in a systematic manner as if they were trained soldiers of an army.

After standing at their respective position, they created a fierce and fearless atmosphere as they stood across the undead army a few distances away from them.

This was the famous Legion of the Chaotic Sun!

Based on their aura alone, neither side had a clear advantage. This clearly indicated that their combat prowess was clearly on par with each other.

One bore the dark mana of the Corrupted Beings while the other side wielded the sacred properties that could counter the former.

Immortal swept his gaze at the opposing side sharply, trying to find the summoner. But his efforts were in vain as he couldn't find their traces, not even a hint of their aura was present.

"They must be hiding in the forest. But they couldn't be too deep since they needed to be nearby to properly control his summons," muttered Immortal after failing to find his opponent.

"Let's see how long you can hide," he added before swinging his hand in the air and ordering his undead army to launch an attack. "Move! Destroy everyone on your path!"

Roar!

The massive undead creature made of different bones and skulls responded with an enraged roar before charging ahead.

Behind it, the skeleton warriors followed closely, running at full speed.

Roar!

The skeleton gorilla on the opposing side responded with a fearless roar before leaping in the air and slamming into the ground powerfully. It then charges ahead while fixating its gaze on its sole target.

The Legion of Chaotic Sun behind it also followed its lead and sprinted forward, charging at the opposing side aggressively.

Boom!

The first collision was so massive that it knocked the two leading creatures backward, making them step on the skeleton soldiers behind them. But they ignored what just happened before launching themselves back at each other.

Bang! Bang!

With those two massive creatures at the center, the two armies finally collided and engaged in an intense battle.

The spells and arrows from the skeleton mages and archers from both sides flew in the air and landed on random spots of the opposing army.

Looking from a bird's eye view, the whole area instantly became a chaotic battlefield that mimicked the war between opposing kingdoms.

Immortal watched from a distance, observing the state of the battle. There were still a few units standing around him, waiting for his orders.

He frowned his brows deeply as he found that the strategy of the opposing side was a little strange. No, to be more precise, his opponent seemed to be not using any kind of strategy. They just straight up collide against his forces and fought straightforwardly.

"What is happening?" he muttered in a confused tone as this was entirely different from what happened earlier within the forest.

Earlier, when they got ambushed by the Legion of Chaotic Sun, there was a clear strategy behind each of their moves. Starting from the initial attack up to the usage of the terrain within the forest, everything was perfectly calculated.

That was also the reason why Immortal chose to retreat and got out of the forest since all of the factors that could affect the battle were in his favor.

But compared to the calculated moves from the earlier exchanges, the current actions of the opposing side were completely outside of what Immortal had seen.

"Is it another scheme that they are plotting?" muttered Immortal as he tried to heighten his sense, trying to see if there were any enemies hiding in the surroundings.

But given that they were currently in an open field, it was pretty hard to find a suitable angle to launch an ambush.

Immortal was completely confused because of this. But since he couldn't let his guard down, he chose to play things a little safer.

He looked ahead and saw that the state of the battle was still currently in a deadlock. Due to this, he chose to add more pressure on his opponent to force them to reveal their cards.

'Demonic Occultist Spell: Summon Perfect Ghoul'

'Demonic Occultist Spell: Summon Death Knight'

A pair of purple portals appeared behind Immortal, summing two undead with immense power.

One of them was a knight wearing full-body black armor with a crimson cape attached behind it. The Death Knight kneeled on a knee behind Immortal and held his pitch-black sword in front of him, holding it in an inverted manner.

On the other hand, the other undead looked like normal humans. He was not wearing anything aside from his ripped and tattered pants. He proudly stood with his bare upper body, boasting his muscular body which was also filled with blade scars caused by different types of weapons.

If the Death Knight was extremely loyal and respectful to Immortal, then this Perfect Ghoul seemed to be the arrogant type as it was wearing an evil smirk the moment when he walked out of the portal and refused to get on his knee.

Immortal totally ignored the attitude of the Perfect Ghoul as he didn't care how it will act in front of him as long as it was following his command.

"Death Knight, summon your cavalry and assist our forces in taking down the opposing army. Perfect Ghoul, I don't care what you are going to do next, just slaughter our enemies as usual," commanded Immortal without turning his head at them.

"As you wish, my lord!" responded the Death Knight before standing up and summoning an undead horse. He then circled around the unit protecting his master and sprinted towards the battlefield.

During his charge, he raised his sword in the air and released a powerful dark mana that filled the surrounding area.

Immediately after that, rows of purple portals appeared on the path behind him before a cavalry of undead come out of them.

When the Dark Cavalry of the Undying Army was summoned, the Death Knight them to circle around the battlefield as he was planning to flank the opposing army from the side.

In the meantime, the Perfect Ghoul quickly leaped high up in the air right after he received the command from Immortal, flying straight to the battlefield.

He was still wearing his evil smile as he raised both of his arms above him which grew in size and turned into a pair of massive arms.

Swoosh!

He then fell straight at the center of the opposing army and slammed his massive arms on the ground, killing a large number of enemy skeleton soldiers.

Immortal watched everything with a calm look on his face and waited for his opponent to respond.

Summoning his undead army alongside three high-ranking undead monsters consumed a lot of mana, but he didn't have a choice if he wanted the opposing side to reveal their cards as soon as possible.

He couldn't afford to stay in here for long since it would only be favorable for their opponents. If he wanted to finish this battle in the shortest time possible, then he needed to figure out the strength of his opponent as fast as he could.

Having that thought in mind, Immortal squinted his eyes and observed the battle with a sharp gaze. "Now, let's see how are you going to deal with this."
