Child of Destiny-Chapter 972 Grimrace’s Might

...

Despite seeing the aggressive looks that the three vampire marquesses, Grimrace remained completely unfazed. He seemed to be unbothered by them despite the heavy pressure that they were emitting.

And as if it was still not enough, he put his hand in front of his mouth and started yawning after seeing the three fully enraged vampires still hadn't made their moves. "Why are you three still standing there? Make your moves already! I am in a good mood right now, so I will give you a handicap."

The faces of the three immediately turned darker when they heard those words and quickly entered their respective transformation.

Their eyes turned crimson while blood-colored armor covered their bodies as crystalline weapons materialized in their hands.

One of them was carrying a pair of crescent sabers, the other had his hands with crystalline claws, and the third vampire marquess was wielding a crimson rapier.

And right after undergoing their transformation, the three simultaneously charged at Grimrace who was currently not paying any attention to them.

Boom!

Not long after, their attacks landed on Grimrace creating a thick cloud of dust that signified the powerful force behind those attacks.

But despite the three sensing their attacks landing on something, they couldn't help but wear deep frown on their faces as they knew they didn't manage to hit their target.

When the cloud of dust settled, everyone saw Grimrace was still wearing the arrogant look that he was wearing, completely unharmed. As for the weapons of his opponents, they seemed to hit an invisible wall, preventing them from advancing any further.

The three vampire marquesses stood motionless on their spots while their arms were trembling intensely as they were trying their hardest to push their weapons forward.

Unfortunately for them, no matter how hard they tried, it was still not enough to break through the invisible wall right in front of Grimrace.

On the other hand, Grimrace picked on his ear with his pinky finger while tilting his head to the side, looking at the three as if they were clowns. "What are you three doing? Playing stop and go or something?"

The faces of the three immediately turned ugly when they heard those words. But despite how scary the auras that they were emitting, Grimrace looked at them calmly.

After that, this troublesome elemental spirit smirked at the three, seemingly proving them even more before putting his pinky finger in front of his mouth and blowing the wax that he picked.

Hu!

Boom!

His simple actions from him caused a massive reaction. A powerful gust of wind suddenly swept the three vampire marquesses, dragging them away like leaves swept by storm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three vampires quickly flipped in the air and adjusted their center of gravity in the air before forcing themselves to fall to the ground.

But despite all of that, they still failed to completely nullify all of the force pushing them, making them slide onto the ground and draw a long trail on it. Fortunately, they managed to stop at the edge of the arena when all of the force was exhausted.

At the same time, they raised their heads and looked at Grimrace who remained standing on his spot and didn't bother to make it even though they would easily win this battle by slightly pushing the three out of the arena.

Earlier, they were blinded by their rage and failed to notice the strength of their opponent. They momentarily forgot that their opponent was supposedly not as simple as it seemed to be given the outcome of the previous battle.

This time, they had to look at Grimrace in a different light and take him more seriously.

Seeing that shift of emotions in the eyes of his opponents, Grimrace suddenly grinned and sneered. "Heh! Looks like you finally get it, huh?"

"I am completely different compared to that black cat that just fought earlier. I've been awakened for quite some time now, so I have more understanding of my abilities than her," he added with a smug look.

He then took a brief pause and put his hands in his pockets and stood still with full confidence. "Come! Make give your all this time as I will also not hold back."

With heavy expressions on their faces, the three vampire marquesses slowly stood up and started walking toward the center of the arena.

"I am Marquess Clayman. Show me if you really are that mighty to wear such a sharp tongue," said the vampire with sharp claws.

"Marquess Roman," introduced the vampire with a pair of crescent sabers while wearing a completely serious look on his face.

In the meantime, the third vampire marquess, the one carrying a blood rapier didn't immediately introduce himself as he continued to glare at Grimrace sharply.

After a few moments of silence, he finally opened his mouth and said his name. "Marquess Valdez."

He then pointed his rapier forward and said. "Now, tell us your name, abomination."

Grimrace was silent for a moment as he stared at the three. And after hearing how Marquess Valdez had addressed him, he couldn't help but scoff. "Abomination, you say? Let me show you how this abomination will crush you."

"Remember my name as it will be your worst nightmare! Grimrace!" he said as shadow elemental mana gathered behind him before turning into a huge group of daggers.

With a thought, those daggers suddenly flew straight to the three with a speed that was impossible to be caught by the naked eye. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Whoosh!

Marquess Roman quickly dashed forward and positioned himself in front of the two before brandishing his sabers multiple times, sending a series of sanguine waves that collided with the volley of daggers.

Boom! Boom!

Consecutive explosions immediately followed right after the collision of both sides, creating a massive cloud of smoke that blocked the line of sight of both sides.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

But despite the quick response of the vampire marquess, there were still a lot of shadow daggers that managed to breach through his attacks and continue moving forward.

Cling! Clang! Cling!

Seeing what happened, Marquess Roman quickly sharpened his senses and started swinging his sabers in a much faster matter, deflecting each of the incoming daggers.

None of the daggers managed to touch him but he continued to swing his sabers as the barrage of attacks didn't show any sign of stopping. They seemed to be an inexhaustible rain of daggers from the sky, pouring down at him.

In the meantime, both Marquesses Clayman and Valdez circled around the volley of daggers and charged at Grimrace, planking him from different angles.

Understanding what they were planning, the elemental spirit gave them a mysterious grin before taking out one of his hands from his pocket and waving it in the air in a casual manner.

With that gesture, the shadow underneath his feet suddenly extended and split into two before heading toward the incoming opponents.

Seeing the strangeness of that extending shadow, the two vampire marquesses didn't dare to face it head-on and decided to avoid it.

Unfortunately, the moving shadow on the ground seemed to have a mind of its own as it suddenly accelerated and chased after them. And when it was about to reach the two, shadow vines suddenly shot out from it and flew at them, trying to wrap around their bodies.

The two quickly dodged and nimbly avoided the vines, not letting them touch their bodies. Their instincts were telling them that the outcome was not going to be to their liking if those vines caught them.

Marquess Valdez had a pretty good foot technique as he skillfully dodged the shadow fines while continuously advancing toward Grimrace.

On the other hand, Marquess Clayman seemed to be struggling a little despite his specialization in movement techniques. It seemed like the shadow vines were able to read his mind and would always be one step ahead of him.

Seeing that, Grimrace quickly changed his strategy and focused the shadow vines on catching Marquess Clayman.

Swoosh!

The expression on Marquess Clayman's face quickly turned dark when he saw that the moving shadow chasing after him suddenly grew in size alongside the increasing number of shadow vines coming out from it.

With that, Marquess Clayman focused on dodging instead of advancing forward. He was planning to let Marquess Valdez take care of Grimrace since the shadow vines on that side were pulled back by their opponent and focused on him.

Marquess Valdez was able to understand his intention and quickly increased his speed, turning himself into a flying silhouette that headed to his opponent.

It only took him an instant to arrive near Grimrace since there was nothing blocking his path. And when he was almost upon the latter, he quickly stabbed his blood rapier forward, targeting their opponent's head.

His speed was so fast that a flash of light suddenly appeared during the entire process.

But despite that being the case, Grimrace still maintained his carefree and confident look while facing such an attack.

Bang!

And just like earlier, an invisible wall blocked the tip of the saber right before it reached him. And despite the powerful force behind that charge, Grimrace remained unscratched due to that wall.

Grimrace turned his head to the side and looked at Marquess Valdez grinningly. "You still haven't learned your lesson, have you?"

After that, he made a snap with his fingers which sent a silent ripple in the air.

Nothing happened at first besides everyone suddenly turning silent after his snap, but immediately after that, a powerful force suddenly pushed Marquess Valdez away, sending him flying just like what happened earlier.

In the meantime, Shin stared blankly at the scene, not knowing how to react. His mouth was left agape as he was not expecting this to happen. "What the heck? This nutjob is actually this strong?!"
