Child of Destiny

...

Alucard purposely let Moyong Qi regroup with his brothers not because he could not stop the latter from doing it. But it was because of the plan that he had created after listening to Shin’s ideas for this entire match with the Seven Seas Alliance.

Given that he did not have to worry about the next round since they were planning to send all their trump cards in that Team Battle, he also did not have to worry much about how he would deal with his side.

He was still planning to hide his abilities, particularly the ones that came from his unique race just like the Blood Arts that majored in blood energy manipulation, which also became his current signature mana manipulation method.

But that did not mean he could not use the other combat techniques and strategies under his arsenal, which were also quite known to everyone – the techniques that the Gun King and Sword King used to wield in the game that made them famous.

He had already shown quite a few in earlier exchanges, but he was now planning to utilize most of them to the fullest while coordinating with Owen and Ithilien.

He was planning to crush their opponent in something that they were proud of, destroying their confidence completely.

Even if these guys would be able to recover from it somehow in the future, the psychological wound that Alucard was planning to inflict on them would be deep enough to affect their performance for the match scheduled the day after tomorrow.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Seeing the signal from Alucard, Owen and Ithilien quickly adjusted their formations so that they could work more efficiently with him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

An intense battle quickly broke out the moment the two top combatants got involved in the group battle.

The Wild Brothers also showcased their true bread and butter, showcasing their perfect coordination and a variety of combat tactics.

Their battle formations were also quite solid, covering all the possible weaknesses that their opponents could take advantage of.

Now that Moyong Qi was providing enough fire support from the rear, Moyong Han, who was the youngest of the three, had finally gained a lot of freedom to do anything he wanted. Given the hybrid style of his class, he started showcasing the true capabilities that he could pull off.

Unfortunately, he was also constantly being matched with Alucard due to the similarities of their styles. He always found himself trapped in a predicament where he had to constantly deal with this monster that even his big brother could not defeat.

His movements became more restricted in return, making his performance somewhat lackluster.

The good news was his situation not being that bad. After all, with Moyong Qi covering all his mistakes, he was still able to pick himself up and continue what he was doing best.

Little did he know that this situation was putting a lot of pressure on his big brother, who was keeping up with the insane pace of their opponent.

Alucard and Owen alone were already hard to deal with, so he was having more trouble when Ithilien was added to the mix, especially when she had a perfect synergy with Owen.

Moyong Gui was the one who had noticed this, so he wanted to pick him his pace and become more aggressive so that he could lift some pressure off from his eldest brother’s shoulders.

But Alucard was also constantly disrupting his flow whenever he was trying to do this. It was as if this guy had an extra pair of eyes that was constantly monitoring the entire battlefield even if he was constantly marking Moyong Qi and Moyong Han.

In a sense, these brothers felt that Alucard was dealing with all three of them at once just by the pressure that he was giving them during the battle.

Of course, what Owen and Ithilien were doing was something that could not be ignored either. But they were somewhat hidden behind the shadow that Alucard had and even voluntarily stepped back into it.

It was as if they were letting Alucard take on the stage, leaving him to showcase his battle prowess and further prove the huge gap between him and Moyong Qi.

…

There were only a very few people who could understand the true state of the battle despite it being a deadlock on the surface.

One of them was David, who was one of the true apex players of the game.

The spectators could only see the flashy moves and stunning performance of every combatant in the battle area as well as their flawless coordination.

But they were unable to see deeper into it, lacking some insights that would fully make them understand the finest details of the match.

Fortunately for those who had chosen to watch from David and Miss Bunny’s channel as their main commentator for the match, they received more details that those listening from the other channel had missed.

Both the audience watching from the live stand and listening to the two as their main commentators and those viewers watching online from their channel enjoyed the privilege of hearing David’s analysis.

The other channel was biased toward the representative of the Seven Seas Alliance, so they refused to dive deeper into details about the state of the match. After all, they would be fired from their positions if they started talking badly about their side.

Even if they still comment that the Wild Brothers were slightly on the weaker end, they were unable to explain more details as it was related to the ’result’ of the match.

But David did not give a heck about all of these as he was enjoying the match as a true fan of the game and the tournament.

"As you can see, the Wild Brothers are barely holding on to a thin rope that can save them. If they don’t find a way to break through Alucard’s Death Artillery Boundary, which is further then strengthened by Owen’s great defense, then they will be truly screwed."

"Not only they are losing their momentum, but they have also lost almost all the advantages that they previously had during the first formal 3-vs-3 confrontation."

He then paused for a moment as he turned to Miss Bunny. "What are your thoughts, partner?"

Miss Bunny nodded her head as she agreed. "I seconded your assessment. Even if Moyong Qi is starting to showcase his signature ’Infinite Firing Gallery’, it is still not enough."

"If the famous battle formation that the Wild Brothers, the ’Inverted Triangle Formation,’ has easily been broken by Owen through brute force. Ithilien and Alucard are barely able to lend him a hand."

She then paused and split a small portion of the screen to start dissecting the details of some parts of the ongoing match for further information. "As you can see, all these formations that the Wild Brothers are famous for are being obliterated by their opposition one after another."

"Even with their individual strength and the unique features of their respective classes, they are still in a disadvantageous position."

"If they still have some cards hidden in them and don’t show it now, then the result of this match has already been determined," she added with a somewhat exaggerated tone.

Taking advantage of this window to ’lighten up’ the mood, David suddenly added a joke. "You have to hit the brakes over there, partner! What will you do if you start caster cursing our side? I am sure you will get a decrease when this month’s salary is issued."

"Oops! Is it too late to take it back now?" said Miss Bunny playfully, playing along with him.

Even if the two were joking on the surface, their internal voices were saying a whole different matter.

After all, they could see much deeper than what they had just discussed with their viewers. They were able to tell who their side was planning for this match.

– "This is not even fishing up some information from their opponents, Shin is too evil to put Alucard into that lineup. If it is either Diablo or Leonard, then the outcome may be a little more direct." –

– "The defeat of the Wild Brothers may be a little more one-sided if that is the case, but it will not be as traumatic as this one as they had to endure such torture watching all their hard work crumble before their eyes." –

– "I bet those guys are already praying for Alucard and Owen to end this as soon as possible, especially Moyong Qi as he was purposely being targeted in the entire battle." –

David was repeatedly shaking his head inwardly as he thought about all of these. He could not help but feel some sympathy for the Wild Brothers as watched how the lights in their eyes slowly dismissed.

He was not sure if Shin was aware of Alucard’s history with Moyong Qi or if it was just a mere coincidence, but that unlucky dude sure would suffer a lot even after this match.

Shin might have some idea about it, but he would surely not give a damn as it still aligned with his plans anyway.

"Tsk! Tsk! Devious, he is so devious. I don’t know whether he resembles Master or Sir Adam whenever he acts this way, but either of the two is the scariest when it comes to it."
