Chapter 22

Chapter 22 – Chapter 3: Rescue #5

The base of the Red Lightning tribe was a crucible of turmoil .

Flames were everywhere and the screaming, crying, roaring and shouting mixed together to create a terrible sound .

Just standing still caused his head to become dizzy, but there was no time to stop . In-gong gazed at the minimized mini-map and commanded .

"Go to the left! Run straight to the food warehouses!”

Since General Vandal had hit the front, there were few troops left in the base . Moreover, Chris had rushed forward and made a lot of fuss, so the remaining forces had flocked to Chris .

Even though it wasn’t deserted, it was close to it!

"Ohhh!”

"Die!"

The orcs were fighting while rushing forward and the sight of blood filled his eyes .

Carack was showing an incredible display once again . He held an axe in one hand and a big shield in the other . As the lead orc, he crushed everything in his path .

In-gong didn’t stay still . He wasn’t fighting side-by-side with Carack, but he played a big role from behind Carack .

[Dagger Throwing Lv1 . ]

It was a skill he learnt yesterday specifically for today .

It was just throwing a knife, but he managed to kill some orcs with it . Carack dealt most of the damage but he still received a decent amount of experience .

‘Should I learn proper archery?’

A bow or other long-ranged weapons were useful in a situation like this .

“Carack! Pull to the left! Just a little bit more and we’ll arrive at a food warehouse!”

“Ouh!”

Adrenaline was being secreted as Carack responded with a strange sound . In-gong fingered his dagger and glanced around . It wasn’t because In-gong was worried about Caitlin .

'Okay, the operation . . . Ah, right! Felicia!’

In-gong searched around but didn’t see any signs of Felicia .

‘If she is locked up, won’t she die because of this?’

Flames were sweeping all over the place . If she was trapped in a confined space, she might suffocate and die .

‘Does he really have no idea?’

It was Chris who rushed forward and caused the fire first . Instead of setting the fire, In-gong commanded Carack .

"Find Felicia!”

“Huh? What are you saying?”

Carack retorted with agitation . In-gong could see tents and timber buildings, but it was too crowded .

"No, just rush it!”

If the enemies knew Felicia’s value, they would try to get her out .

‘Yes, let’s not think about it!’

In-gong felt a little sorry for Felicia but he couldn’t make a difference . Instead, he focused on the mini-map while rushing forward with Carack . In-gong perceived Felicia as a neutral NPC, so she should appear as a blue or purple dot on the map .

Even Chris and Caitlin, who he killed as Zephyr, were now solid allies . Perhaps, Felicia and Silvan could become like them .

‘Yes, there are no unconditional enemies!’

Of course, Zephyr was an exception!

"Prince! The food warehouses!"

Carack shouted . A few orcs around him threw flasks of explosive magic, causing a huge explosion and flames to ensue .

"Kuahaha! Good ride!”

Carack shouted like a villain with a menacing face . Instead of responding, In-gong looked around again . His first objective of the food warehouse had been taken care of, so now he could find Felicia .

‘Although it is possible to find her . . . ’

"This way! Somebody help!"

A sharp scream was heard before he finished his thought . The voice of a woman could clearly be distinguished from the sounds of the orcs .

In-gong and Carack ran towards the direction where he heard the sound . Inside a semi-collapsed wooden building, a few orcs from the Red Lightning tribe were knocked out while a female dark elf with both hands tied stood in the middle of burning wreckage .

“Felicia?”

Felicia had a sharp face, silver hair, red eyes and was wearing clothes that could be called a bathing suit .

Felicia blinked with amazement at In-gong’s call .

“What, are you Shutra?”

In-gong replied with a question instead of answering .

“How? Who knocked out all the orcs?”

"Of course, I did it! I used this uproar to try and escape but the fires are everywhere . . . That doesn’t matter! Cut this rope as quickly as possible! There is a trick involved with it that is interfering with my magic!”

Despite that, she had already halfway escaped by herself .

‘As expected from a Demon King’s child . ’

In-gong looked at Carak while cutting Felicia’s rope and Carack sent a signal into the sky . A green flash crossed with a red flame in the night sky .

"That is a signal that I found Noona! Now, let’s go!”

In-gong gestured for her to come out quickly . However, Felicia was standing still with a confused face .

“Are you sending a signal to Chris and Caitlin?”

“Yes! Both of them are also looking for Noona!”

Chris said he didn’t care if she died .

'I will use this opportunity to make some points . If Felicia joins our faction, Silva will also come to our side!’

Furthermore, Caitlin was sincerely worried about her .

In-gong gestured to Felicia but she kept on blinking with shock .

“Chris and Caitlin? They are trying to save me?”

'What, is it that shocking? Is their relationship worse than I thought?’

However, it was subtle . There seemed to be a lot that In-gong still didn’t know .

‘Ah, I don’t know . Let’s get out of here first!’

Now wasn’t the time to be thinking about this . They needed to move .

"Prince! Those guys are coming!"

Carack cried out loudly . In-gong glanced at the mini-map and saw many red dots flocking .

‘It is natural after the food warehouses are burnt . ’

Perhaps the enemy had already noticed the main purpose of In-gong’s troops . Of course, the food warehouse was burning, so things were going smoothly .

“Noona! Come on! Hurry!”

“U-understood! But calling me Noona . . . ”

Felicia started moving while replying to him .

"Kill them!"

"Turn those fellows into soup!”

The Red Lightning tribe orcs were rushing towards them . Arrows flew from every direction and the sound of axes could be heard .

"Kuk! Hide behind me!”

Carack placed a shield over his head and covered In-gong . In-gong reached out quickly, grabbed Felicia’s wrist and pulled her along .

“Kyak?”

"Ohhh!”

“Kill!”

"Fight!”

The yells of the orcs swallowed up Felicia’s scream . Carack raised his shield and shouted .

"Prince! Stick closely behind me!”

It was a situation where he couldn’t afford to look at the mini-map . In-gong looked away from Carack and toward Felicia .

“Felicia noona! Do you have any helpful magic?”

Silvan and Felicia were capable magicians . At In-gong’s request, Felicia recovered her spirit and nodded .

“Uh, wait a minute . Then . . . Shutra! Behind you!”

“What?”

In-gong looked back . While the orcs of the Red Lightning tribe were rushing forward, a flame arrow was flying towards him .

‘Magic?’

There was no room to think, so In-gong acted according to instinct . He hugged Felicia to protect her and received the flame arrow .

‘Ah, damn! This isn’t Caitlin!’

It was already too late to regret it . There was terrible pain that couldn’t even be imagined .

“Shutra!”

Felicia was the one who screamed with aghast instead of In-gong . He found a single strand of pleasure in the midst of this suffering – that’s right .

[Magic Power Control Lv1 has been learnt . ]

[Fire Arrow Lv1 has been learnt . ]

Magic!

In-gong groaned and released Felicia . He turned around and shouted,

“Fire Arrow!”

A fire arrow made of magic!

A spark emerged from In-gong’s fingertips and flew towards the orcs .
