Child of Destiny

Chapter 347 - Going All-out: Clash Of The Titans



...…

BANG!

Shin and Owen's swords clashed once again creating a massive explosion. Right after the collision of their weapon, the ground beneath their feet suddenly sunk deeply and created a huge crater with them being the center.

They maintain their position for a few seconds before both of them put a lot of strength on their arms holding the sword and push each other away from them.

Clang!

Midair, Shin immediately released the 'Conviction Form' of his 'Mondi's Style' legacy skill and immediately returned the sheath to its original form. And while turning in the air, he sheathed his sword with a one smooth motion before quickly unsheathing it once again and sent a black crescent sword wave towards Owen.

Shing!

'Class Fighting Style: Solar Flare'

Swoosh!

At the same time, Owen's shield flew back at him so he immediately raised his left hand to catch it while he was still in midair. And when he saw the incoming sword wave blazing with a black flame, he quickly positioned the shield in front of him while hiding his body behind it.

A moment later, a golden aura was suddenly released from his body which became a golden spherical barrier immediately after.

'Class Fighting Style: Divine Protection'

Going back on the other side, Shin didn't wait for his 'Solar Flare' to land at Owen. In fact, he was already sheathing back his sword once again right after sending the sword wave.

He also didn't wait for himself to land back on the ground to launch himself forward. Instead, he immediately kicked the air behind him and quickly flew straight to his opponent.

'Legacy Skill: Mondi's Jump'

Pa!

Swoosh!

Boom!

And that was the time when his sword wave landed at Owen, making the latter to be swallowed by another cloud of smoke.

Seeing that, Shin quickly kicked the air once again and executed another 'Mondi's Jump' to accelerate forward. He then transformed himself into a streak of silver light that flew straight towards his opponent's direction.

Before he could dive in the cloud of smoke, Shin was already unsheathing his sword swinging it on the cloud itself.

Swoosh!

'Basic Combat Technique: Second Drive'

 

'Class Fighting Style: Moonlight Splitter'

Swoosh!

Shing!

Shin passed through the cloud of smoke and even cut it in half. But his target was nowhere to be found.

He was quite confused about it, but he didn't have much time to dwell in it because he was already getting a very threatening feeling coming from above.

Owen was descending towards Shin with an unstoppable force. At the same time, the longsword on his left hand was currently releasing a purple lighting that was releasing a loud and violent crackling sound.

'Class Fighting Style: Electric Smite'

Swoosh!

Crackle!

Shin didn't even need to look at it to know what was coming. He just quickly re-sheath his sword and channeled the power of the Black Sun in it. After that, he suddenly did a half turn while pulling the sword out of its sheath before swinging it at his falling opponent.

'Class Fighting Style: (Empowered) Quick Draw: Sunshine Strike'

Shing!

BOOM!

Another massive explosion was created right after the collision of the two powers. At the same time, the ground beneath Shin's feet sunk even further and made the crater around him to become even bigger.

After a slight pause, Shin put more strength on his arm and forced Owen to move back. The latter seemed to comply with him and absorbed the force from Shin's push to fly back. He then did a quick flip in the air before landing on the ground skillfully.

Shin didn't immediately chase after him when he saw that. Instead, he looked at Owen and observed the latter's current state.

Right now, the longsword that Owen was holding was continuously releasing a bunch of lightning with a deep purple color. Even if he was standing in the distance, Shin could still hear the loud of crackling sounds.

At the same time, the shield that he was holding on his left hand was now being enfolded by a golden light with some bluish-white color in the mix.

Shin could immediately tell that it was not an ordinary skill given how strong the threat that his senses were getting. From the looks of it, those strange powers enfolding Owen's weapons were most likely on the same level as his empowered 'Eclipse Wielding' combat technique.

But that didn't just end in there. Because on the next instant, Owen's entire body was suddenly covered with a golden aura that kept on surging up; he finally activated his powerup skill!

'Epic Combat Technique: Shadow Lightning'

 

'Epic Combat Technique: Celestial Empowerment'

 

'Berserk Skill: Divine Avatar'

 

Having all of these powers, Owen's current appearance was seemingly completely similar to a divine being that descended on the mortal world.

And when Shin saw that his opponent was finally going all-out, he couldn't help but whistle a little and muttered. "Looks like this is going to be the final bout, huh?"

 He then flipped the sheath of his sword and held it in a forehand manner. After that, he activated the 'Conviction Form' of the Mondi's Style before shaking his wrist a little.

A moment later, each of his swords suddenly released the opposing powers of the Black Sun and Silver Moon respectively.

But Shin was not done yet. After releasing those powers, Shin did another slight twist with his wrists while manipulating the powers inside his body. Then he channeled some of the opposing powers on each of his swords making the auras that they were releasing changed drastically.

The silver aura that the [Blue Demon's Bane] suddenly turned black as if it became contaminated. At the same time, there were some white dots dancing around the dark aura as if they were stars in the dark sky.

Together with that, this new aura that the rapier had was releasing some sort of very cold powers as if it could freeze even the space.

Meanwhile, the other aura on his right-hand sword was doing the completely opposite. The black flame that it originally had was suddenly devoured by a pure white flame, transforming its colors.

But the black flame seemed to be fighting and not willing to be devoured. Due to that, the flame covering the [Yamato] suddenly transformed into a white one with some hue of black color appearing from time to time.

This new flame seemed to be too powerful and violent. It was as if it could turn everything in ash due the extreme heat that it was releasing.

'Lesser-Legendary Combat Technique: (Empowered) Eclipse Wielding'

When the opposing powers completed their transformation, the air around Shin was seemingly being affected by them. And from the looks of it, the surrounding space was also showing some signs of being distorted a little.

But that didn't just end in there, right after activating this powerful combat technique, Shin also used the berserk skill attached on his sword. Runes after runes were released from the [Yamato] and enfolded Shin's body.

'Weapon Skill (Sword: Yamato): Nephilim's Ascent'

After that, the atmosphere surrounding Shin suddenly became even more dangerous and threatening. If Owen was similar to a divine being that descended on the mortal world, then the current appearance that Shin had was somewhat similar to an enlightened person that transcended all human beings.

At this point of time, the auras being released by Shin and Owen started clashing against each other. And with that, the surrounding mana became totally disoriented and made all of them to become violent and created a mana storm in the whole arena.

In the middle of these berserk mana storm stood Shin and Owen who were looking at each other. They waited for a moment to observe each other for a little later.

A moment later, both Shin and Owen simultaneously launched themselves forward. The latter was charging in a very powerful manner which created some air fluctuations on his path. On the other hand, the former seemed to transform into a streak of light with intervening colors of black and white.

And when they finally met at the point of intersection, both of them immediately threw their attacks at the same time.

Owen stomped his foot forward before swinging his longsword in a very powerful manner. At the same time, Shin was slightly leaning forward and was currently in the middle of throwing a powerful upward diagonal slash with the [Yamato].

BOOM!

A very powerful shockwave was sent in every direction the moment their swords clashed. But the strange thing was their swords were not even touching each other. Instead, there was some sort of repulsion force preventing their swords to clash against each other.

Regardless, the powerful shockwave created by the collision of powers shook the entire arena as if it was going to be destroyed at any given moment.

Shin and Owen maintained their positions as both of them refused to get overwhelmed. And when they couldn't hold it any longer, both of their swords repulsed back and forced them to take a few steps backwards.

And when they were finally able to stabilize their footings, they both looked at their trembling right arms while having the same thought in mind. 'Strong!'

 

When the trembling stopped, they simultaneously looked at their opponents before re-launching themselves at the same time. And that was when these two titans started their final showdown.

"Let's do this!"
