Child of Destiny
Chapter 1714: Morax, the Wise and Cunning (Part 2)
...
Shin skimmed through the rules and conditions presented by the System, making sure that there was nothing wrong with it and no traps hidden behind those words, before signing it.
Right after signing the system contract, Morax suddenly spoke. "Now that you have already signed it, let’s change location as this place is not suitable for us."
Shin was confused at first when he heard those words, but he later saw Morax slamming the bottom of his stone spear on the floor of the corridor, sending a series of overlapping ripples in every direction.
He then sensed the unusual fluctuation of mana filling the air as if they were being manipulated by something. It then later escalated into morphing into space while pulling Shin and Morax into its center.
Shin was taken aback by the sudden development, making him raise his guard to the highest level. At the same time, he was also "A teleportation skill? A summoning skill? No, it also has some features of a domain skill. What is this?"
He was analyzing what was happening with the help of his True Sight Skill and realized that this was not just a simple skill activation.
"Brat!"
"My Liege!"
"Hey! Where are you going!?"
The three elemental spirits that were currently summoned could sense that Shin was forcefully being pulled by something, seemingly dragging him into another dimension.
Due to the restriction on their current abilities, they were unable to fight back. They could only let themselves turn into specks of light that appeared beside Shin, signifying that they had exceeded the maximum range that they could have away from him.
Seeing them being forcefully summoned, Shin could not help but squint his eyes. He could sense that this forceful transportation did not mean any harm and only sent him to another dimension.
He was quite familiar with this sensation, which he had already experienced on multiple occasions. He remained calm and waited for him to arrive at the destination, but he also could not help but be a little worried about Cloe as Blackie and Grimrace were suddenly summoned to his side.
"I hope that she will be fine," he mumbled.
Swoosh!
Not long after, he found himself falling upside down from the air as the suction force that had pulled him earlier had finally disappeared.
Bang!
Adjusting his position in the air, he did a series of aerial maneuvers before letting himself gently and skillfully land on the ground.@@@@
He quickly put his guard up right after his foot touched the ground, sweeping his gaze at the surroundings with his sharp eyes.
[All these unique amplifications and boosts that an individual domain skill can provide you will focus on a single point and transform it into a True Domain.]
She paused for a moment before continuing. [This ability of your current opponent is planning to achieve that result. It may still be far from achieving their desired outcome, but the ability itself is still far stronger than any domain skills that the liege has – aside from that Tier 3 Domain Skill that you have yet to use, my liege.]
[But even that skill is still slightly weaker compared to this one,] she added.
Shin raised his brows a little as tried to digest what the two veteran elementals had said before pursing his lips. "It is still better than being powerless against it. I first think that we are doomed because he has some authority over it, but I guess he still can’t fully control such a powerful ability."
He still had fallen into the trap the other party had prepared for him, but it was still far better than he had expected. It was far from being in a hopeless situation.
"But still-... I seem to be unable to hide my abilities in this place. I guess I am still forced to show everything I have in the end," Even if he tried to above such a scenario, it seemed like he still had fallen into such an obvious trap in the end.
"Dealing with this guy is indeed tricky," he mumbled as he raised his head, looking at the person, who was standing in the air for quite a while.
"You have such a fancy skill. I guess this cost you quite a lot," said Shin as he stared at Morax, who was standing in the air somewhat haughtily.
"It is nothing," replied Morax somewhat nonchalantly before adding. "It is just a simple trick that I have picked up after the failure of a certain guy who has tried to join us but has gotten plotted by everyone."
"So, he is the experimental subject," said Shin as he could tell who the other party was talking about. After all, only one name popped out in his head. ’Tsk! Such a poor and miserable guy. I also heard that Big Sister has demanded his family to hand him over due to that incident of attempting to abduct Cloe as well as the assassination attempt for my life.’
Setting that brief thought aside, Shin focused on the main issue, which was the unique ability that Morax had shown him. If he was not wrong, then it would become a unique ability exclusive to the Pandemonium Troupe.
"Using such a powerful skill that is supposed to be for Tier 4 and above classes, these guys are going to be even more troublesome," he mumbled to himself as he could tell that this was going to be a headache in the future.
"Let’s save the chatter for later. I want to finish this as soon as possible so that I can return earlier," said Morax after observing Shin for a while. ’He has never lowered his guard even for an instant. He is indeed not easy to deal with.’
After that, he suddenly paused his right hand behind him while holding his stone spear vertically. At the same time, his left hand rose in the air and pointed toward the blackened sky.

"Since I am the one who proposed the deal, then let me take the initiative," he added as a bunch of giant stone spears manifested behind him, forming an array while pointing toward Shin.
"Let me have the first move."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
