Chapter 48

Chapter 48 – Chapter 7: Advent #6

A miracle was happening outside the small temple .

There was a flash of light and great trees rose where there had been nothing before . They formed the shape of men with two hands .

Karma swallowed her saliva as the roots of the treants moved . She had a little bit of druid knowledge, so she was thrilled by the new force appearing on Enger Plains .

"Green Wind . "

The centaurs next to Karma expressed their heartfelt admiration . Some closed their eyes and prayed with their hands together . The casiso and drake ogres, both of whom were struggling with the green barrier, also stared at the treants . The casios, who weren’t even afraid of the rain of arrows, felt their bodies start shaking .

Even the smallest of the treants were at least five or six metres tall . It seemed as though a forest was moving .

The drake ogres screamed while the casios raised their heads to the sky and roared . The centaurs, however, shouted Green Wind’s name .

In the midst of all the noise, Carack heard something else . Even though something wonderful was happening in front of his eyes, he looked back reflexively while holding his axe .

Deep inside the small temple . . .

The effect of Below the King’s Flag was already gone . However, Carack was In-gong’s knight and could feel it .

“Prince . ”

In-gong’s power was becoming stronger .

&

If Enkidu’s power was destruction, then Ainkel’s was life .

No matter what it was, the power of an elder dragon couldn’t be stolen easily .

The power of the dragon had been frozen in the piece of the dragon heart, so only a dragon could accept the magic power of another dragon .

However, Conquest wasn’t that simple . It was the power of dominance .

Ainkel’s magic power didn’t resist . It accepted In-gong’s dominance .

Ainkel’s magic flowed so naturally toward In-gong that he was slightly taken aback .

The power of a dragon entered In-gong’s body and naturally, the magic power attacked In-gong’s body . In-gong’s flesh was too fragile to endure a dragon’s magic power .

However, the whole process didn’t end with destruction .

[Your level has risen . ]

In-gong received a vast amount of experience for the achievement, so he gained a level . A pure white light restored In-gong’s destroyed body .

In-gong screamed painfully as he was surrounded by the white light . This was because Ainkel’s magic power destroyed his barely recovered body once again .

Then In-gong’s level rose once again .

[Your level has risen . ]

[Your level has risen . ]

Exactly three times . . .

That was the number of times that the repetition of destruction and regeneration had occurred . It was like breaking an old bowl and creating a new one repeatedly .

The clear voice of a woman resonated in In-gong’s head .

[Passive skill – Dragon Lineage Lv1 has been acquired . ]

[Dragon Lineage Lv1 skill Dragon Blood has been learnt . ]

It was a modification of his body . The dragon’s magic power evolved his flesh .

The power of Conquest and Protagonist Body made that possible . It developed into a new transformation .

[The level of Protagonist Body has risen . ]

[The Protagonist Body Lv2 skill Hundred Poisons Resistance has been learnt . ]

[The level of Magic Power Control has risen . ]

[You have acquired the power of life . ]

The body reconstruction was completed . The white and green light swirling around In-gong’s body scattered in the air .

In-gong opened his eyes slowly . His status window was floating in front of him .

His basic stats had increased as a whole . There was the life property that hadn’t existed before, in addition to a secondary occupation and uniqueness .

‘Dragon humanoid . ’

He had already seen it in Knight Saga . Despite being half draconian and half sura, it was a characteristic of Zephyr who had awakened his dragon blood .

Zephyr, who inherited the lineage of a dragon .

Locke, who inherited a dragon’s soul .

In-gong had the blood of a gandharva and sura . However, he was now ambushed by Ainkel’s power .

[Dragon Humanoid Lv1]

[The lineage of a dragon, the descendant of the Great King, has awakened in the flesh of a son of man . A dragon’s magic power is different . ]

[Dragon Blood Lv1]

[The power of the Great Dragon has awakened in your body . All stats will rise temporarily and strengthen the dragon’s magic power . ]

[Hundred Poisons Resistance Lv1 . ]

[Resistance to poison has increased greatly . (Can be upgraded to Thousand Poisons Resistance and Ten Thousand Poisons Resistance . )]

In-gong took a deep breath . Once he closed and opened his eyes again, the status and skill windows disappeared and he saw Green Wind’s face .

In a voice mixed with confusion and wonder, she said,

"You have obtained the flesh and spirit of a dragon . I can feel the strength of Ainkel coming from you . ”

Ainkel’s remaining piece of power had disappeared . All of the power had been consumed to reconstruct In-gong’s flesh and spirit .

However, Green Wind didn’t feel like it was a waste . It was a power that had been sleeping for many years without anyone using it .

The magic in the small temple and Enger Plains were in good shape, so Green Wind’s dream had come true . Then it was good . The important thing right now was that Enger Plains was protected .

Moreover, Green Wind had intuitively sensed something . She couldn’t explain the rationale, but she understood that this was a tipping point .

Watcher Ainkel had accepted In-gong . Instead of resisting or rejecting, she gave him her magic power .

Green Wind didn’t know anything other than that . She nodded with satisfaction .

"After receiving Watcher Ainkel’s power, please watch over my children and the Enger Plains . ”

The treants had shown up but the battle wasn’t over . Even at this moment, the casios and centaurs were still clashing .

In-gong nodded slowly . He lifted his right arm and the red and yellow lights seemed to growl . It was like a cry saying it wanted to destroy the enemy quickly .

It was as expected from the Great Tyrant Enkidu . In-gong turned around without any hesitation and ran out of the temple .

"Prince!”

Carack, who was staring at the temple, welcomed In-gong first . In-gong responded with a smile .

“Carack!”

Carack’s expression became calm . He really was the best knight in many ways .

"Your Highness!”

"Ohh, Your Highness the 9th Prince! The agent of Green Wind!”

The centaurs, who noticed belatedly, gazed at In-gong with shining eyes . They weren’t pretty girls like Caitlin but men who were staring at In-gong with starry eyes .

"It is wonderful! As expected from His Highness!”

Karma also praised In-gong . She didn’t know what happened inside the temple, but it was obvious that the miracle had occurred shortly after In-gong entered the temple . For Karma, In-gong wasn’t a mere prince but a great being who had caused a miracle .

He was pleased with the respect and praise that he hadn’t receive a lot of during the Red Lightning subjugation, but he couldn’t enjoy it forever .

In-gong looked beyond Green Wind’s barrier that was further enhanced by Ainkel’s magic .

‘I am grateful for the praise . ’

The forest was moving . Common sense seemed to crumble in front of the trees that swung their branches as they moved forward .

There was a battle going on in front of the small temple . The giant treants that were six or seven metres tall moved their branches like a whip while their roots were tangled up with the casios’ legs .

In-gong opened the mini-map and gazed at it . Dozens of treants had appeared simultaneously where the centaurs, led by Ferocious Eyes, were fighting .

As expected, a melee was unfolding . The red dots and blue dots were scrambled together . Naturally, the damage was forced to grow .

‘There are three critical areas on the battlefield . ’

One place was the left side of the battlefield and near the entrance to the temple .

Dozens of treants and drake ogres were facing each other .

On the right side of the battlefield, the centaurs and casios were mixed together .

In-gong knew where his power was needed most . He needed to break the morale of the entire group of casios .

‘A power is manipulating the casios . We must crush that power that is coming from the north . ’

A purple wind wrapped around the casios .

Green Wind’s voice went into In-gong’s head and inspired him . Green Wind didn’t stop with In-gong, but also delivered the message to the treants .

Among the drake ogres, there was one particularly huge one . The upper body of the ogre was covered in blue scales while the lower half was larger than even the biggest casios .

The goat head had four horns protruding from it and his eyes were blood red .

He was the boss among the drake ogres . He was holding giant sickles in his hands and cutting the treants like he was harvesting them .

In-gong’s gaze moved towards the centre of the battlefield .

He was focused on that . In-gong had to defeat the drake ogre’s leader in order to improve the situation .

It wouldn’t be easy but the idea didn’t see too reckless . He could do it by himself now .

No, he had to do it .

"Carack, I will leave the temple to you . ”

In-gong ordered . The small temple was still important . The magic moving the treants was done in the small temple .

Thus, he told Carack to protect it . Since waking up in the tent, he had always been behind Carack . However, this time he was going alone . He ignored the passion behind him and only concentrated on the battle in front of him .

Carack was confused by In-gong’s command, but it was only for a moment . He sensed the genuineness in In-gong and gave a cool smile .

"Go!”

A simple shout, but this was more dependable .

The centaurs were unable to keep up with the situation and blinked with confusion . Karma was also baffled but as the woman he picked to be his number two subordinate, she quickly realized what was going on .

"Come back safely! I will defend the temple!”

She would guard the temple with Carack .

In-gong nodded . The draco then approached In-gong . Despite being young, he felt like the draco was very clever .

‘I’ll have to name him after the fight . ’

In-gong laughed before mounting the draco . He controlled his breathing and triggered Aura .

A white aura flared up like fire and the power of Conquest was activated softly .

‘It is my first boss fight alone . ’

In-gong formed a fist . He crossed the green barrier and headed towards the drake ogres .
