Chapter 27

Chapter 27 – Chapter 4: Awakening #2

"Kairam is moving . ”

The next morning, Chris spoke to everyone who had gathered in one place .

“I think his main priority will be to join Yakuzan . Before the day becomes bright, we need to be prepared to launch maneuvers . ”

He clicked his tongue at the end of his words .

‘If I’d woken up late and missed it, would he have allowed me to sleep?’

Getting up late was always a welcome thing, but it would certainly be a shame to let Kairam go .

Felicia made a ‘hah’ sound and asked with a little bit of provocation .

"Can’t you take care of them on your own?”

Chris laughed wildly . His face was obviously a human but his eyes were like a wild beast .

Felicia didn’t avoid his gaze while Caitlin looked between the both of them with uneasy eyes . Fortunately, Chris shifted his gaze first . Chris sighed and shrugged slightly before explaining .

"These guys are acting faster than I expected . Even their withdrawal is orderly . I’ve been keeping an eye on him and would have struck if there was a chance but . . . I judged it was better not to . Kairam is more competent than I thought . ”

The battle last night was definitely a big hit . Even so, the troops in this area hadn’t received any damage . Additionally, while the lycanthropes were full of health, the orcs had no regenerative power . Striking blindly with cornered troops could increase the damage .

‘They can also escape through the cave . ’

Thanks to the cave, they could move directly using the shortest distance . However, that short distance was also a problem .

Felicia pouted after hearing Chris’ explanation and nodded .

“Well, if that is the situation . ”

In the first place, Felicia wasn’t in a rush . There was no need to argue .

“Then what will you do now?”

Caitlin asked Chris . Chris replied by moving the models on the battlefield map .

"General Vandal contacted me . Yakuzan seems to be attempting a last hurrah here . This is Kairam’s path . ”

The orc models of the Red Lightning tribe were moved to the southeast . It was the edge of the Jishuka Mountains .

"For now, we will join General Vandal and shatter the Red Lightning tribe . ”

The three models of In-gong, Caitlin and Chris, that seemed more realistic than others, were moved to Vandal’s model .

The dwarf portal and cave weren’t connected to this section of the Jishuka Mountains and the enemies were gathered in one place . Therefore, there was no need to divide the troops .

Chris added like it was an afterthought,

"Ah, the dark elves are with Vandal, so they will meet you when we join up . ”

Right now, she had no attendants but Felicia had originally led over 100 dark elves .

Felicia hesitated before asking Chris .

"May I know the number of casualties?”

It was completely different from her normal expression . Due to that, Chris replied more softly than his previous cold tone .

"I haven’t been sent the details but . . . honestly, there seems to be a lot of damage . They fought pretty hard for Noonim . ”

That was for certain . The sight of the dark elves struggling recklessly against a large number of enemies was still in In-gong’s head .

Felicia’s expression darkened but it was only for a moment . She soon returned to her usual expression like she didn’t want to show any weaknesses .

Chris’ face became strangely relieved and he said to In-gong, Caitlin and Felicia .

"I’m going to do some miscellaneous things that are required . In the meantime, Caitlin should start teaching Shutra Aura and Beast Authority . ”

"Yes, I understand . ”

Caitlin responded positively . In-gong had been looking forward to this, so his expression brightened .

It was at that moment . . .

“Wait, you are teaching him Aura? Shutra, do you know Aura?”

Felicia asked, blinking with shock .

A child of the Demon King could use magic, but Aura was different . Now, In-gong- Shutra knew how to use Aura?

“Uh . . . yes . ”

In-gong smiled awkwardly . ‘Isn’t it great?’ – Caitlin was happy despite being interrupted but Felicia’s eyes were different from usual .

‘Is that greed in her eyes?’

It was similar to how Chris looked at In-gong .

‘If I look into the abyss, will I see it looking back?

It was slightly different from Nietzsche’s saying, but In-gong thought of similar words . Just as In-gong coveted Felicia, Felicia also coveted In-gong .

'The problem is that we are in different factions . ’

Who would win?

In-gong left the room with Caitlin while Felicia followed them .

&

Among the lycanthropes, the proportion of warriors was overwhelmingly high .

The reason was due to the hand techniques of the lycanthropes .

The lycanthropes’ hand techniques alone were powerful weapons . If they had a natural weapon in the form of their hands, there was no need for weapons .

In addition to that, there was another decisive reason .

‘Apart from hand techniques, their sizes can change . ’

It was the same for Caitlin’s aide, Seira .

Her height was quite tall at 170cm, but it was nothing compared to when she was transformed . In that state, her height was close to two metres and her hands and feet were almost twice as big as when she was human .

There weren’t many changes to Seira aside from becoming oversized . However, there were some who could grow to at least three metres tall .

Therefore, in order to use a weapon, the lycanthropes would have to carry both human and lycanthrope form weapons at the same time . This was inconvenient and inefficient . Moreover, the weapons for the lycanthrope form were too large and heavy for their human forms to carry .

Anyway, this was the reason why there were so many warriors among the lycanthropes and most of them learnt the same thing .

Beast Authority .

A martial art that was the symbol of the lycanthropes .

"It should be obvious but there are quite a few factions among the Beast Authority technique . Shutra should pick the one most suited to you . ”

As usual, Caitlin was wearing leather armour and she explained it step by step .

There were two reasons why Caitlin chose to teach him Beast Authority first .

One, Caitlin and Chris had originally learn Beast Authority first .

The 4th Queen Elaine Moonlight was a werewolf, so those with her blood naturally learned the werewolf faction of Beast Authority .

Two, Beast Authority was used as a base for Divine Beast Authority .

The royal family of the lycanthropes were primarily composed of werewolves . If he wanted to learn Divine Beast Authority, it was natural to learn Beast Authority first .

In-gong knew the situation and nodded . Caitlin continued,

"Beast Authority uses both External Force Aura and Internal Strength Aura . Today, I will teach you basic aura management using Internal Strength Aura . ”

Beast Authority wasn’t simply something that used the toughness of the body . Through the unique aura management method, the performance of the physical body and the destructive power of the technique would be enhanced .

'Is this like a martial art in a novel?’

Thinking about it, he felt It was pretty similar . It was possible to think of aura management as a type of technique .

“Does Felicia unni want to learn? Unni can learn it as well . ”

Caitlin suddenly asked Felicia who was sitting in a corner . Both In-gong and Felicia were confused by her question .

“Huh? Ah . . . No, I’m fine . I’ll just watch . ”

Felicia laughed awkwardly and waved her hands . It was definitely softer than the way she treated Chris .

‘It is ironic . ’

Basically, the children of the Demon King weren’t nice to each other unless they were from the same family or in the same faction . He also didn’t know the reason why Chris and Felicia were growling at each other .

However, Caitlin wanted to get along with her half-siblings . That sentiment was especially true in regards to In-gong .

'By the way, Caitlin isn’t a child of the Demon King . ’

Did Caitlin truly not know that she wasn’t the child of the Demon King?

“Now, Shutra, follow the way I induce my aura . ”

Caitlin approached while he was thinking . In-gong locked hands with Caitlin and nodded . Caitlin said again,

"Close your eyes and find your aura . I’ll start . ”

Caitlin’s blue aura started to guide In-gong’ white aura .

Aura .

Life force – it was close to the power of the soul and it became the power of the soul once it reached the limit .

[Passive Skill – Protagonist Body Lv1 has been learnt . ]

‘Huh?’

In-gong naturally flinched while moving his aura .

‘W-what?’

Protagonist Body .

In-gong opened his eyes and hurriedly activated the skills window .
