Chapter 71 – Chapter 11: Sword Duke #2

There were no formal disciples of the sword duke .

Except for the demon king, Mitra, there was no one who he taught properly . Even the sura, Gallehed, the strongest among the five captains, had only sparred with him a few times .

Moreover, it had been the sword duke who offered his teachings first .

It was unheard of . None of the children of the demon king had ever been recognized like this .

However, he was now offering it to In-gong .

Felicia’s mouth dropped open while Karma’s eyes shone . Carack also let out an impressed cry .

The sword duke was laughing, but his eyes weren’t smiling .

Deep blue eyes . . . It was like there was a hidden darkness in his blue eyes that saw through In-gong .

In-gong swallowed his saliva . Although he had been anticipating this a little bit, his chest pounded wildly at the offer .

The strongest presence in the Demon World said he would teach In-gong .

This was a hidden event and it was really happening!

"It doesn’t mean that you will become my disciple . ”

The sword duke said with a smile . Carack blinked with confusion while Felicia snorted .

However, the sword duke didn’t pay attention to the two of them . He was only looking at In-gong .

"I can’t afford to nurture a disciple . Furthermore . . . Prince has already learnt Divine Beast Authority . There is no need to learn my sword . ”

In-gong had never fought in front of the sword duke . He had only confronted the man carrying a spear with his white aura . However, the sword duke had intervened after that, so it was impossible to know the type of martial arts In-gong used .

However, that didn’t make a difference to the sword duke .

The sword duke’s blue eyes stared into In-gong’s red eyes . Unlike his laughing expression, the sword duke’s eyes didn’t show any pleasure at all .

In-gong sensed it intuitively .

Even now, he was reading information about In-gong . He didn’t know whether it was magic or an innate talent to see a person’s ability . In-gong felt like he was being disassembled .

Then there was a person who exclaimed belatedly,

"Wait, Divine Beast Authority? Not Beast Authority but Divine Beast Authority?”

Felicia stared at In-gong with shock, but her astonishment didn’t last long .

Felicia understood .

There was an oddly deep bond between In-gong, Chris and Caitlin . Even Chris, who usually disliked the other children of the demon king, was concerned about In-gong .

He had taught In-gong Divine Beast Authority that was normally only passed down through the royal family of the lycanthropes . It was foolish for Felicia to not know what it meant .

Felicia felt frustrated and disappointed, but she didn’t express it and In-gong couldn’t afford to look at Felicia .

The sword duke continued to speak,

"Prince’s body contains Divine Beast Authority and a mixture of other powers . Even I can’t see all of them . . . It is really interesting . Moreover, the many forces aren’t pushing against each other . They are cooperating nicely . ”

What were the powers that the sword duke read? Did it include Conquest?

"I think that Prince has just managed to learn Divine Beast Authority . At most, it has been a few months . However, this achievement is really amazing . ”

In-gong felt a cold sweat forming . The sword duke showed no apparent hostility toward In-gong . Even now, he was only expressing admiration and curiosity . However, In-gong couldn’t help feeling tense . How many things could those eyes see through?

"The reason why the demon king showed interest is probably different from me . When 2nd Prince was born, the Demon World had instinctively sensed his strength . . . He was born with a crazy innate talent, but even then, the demon king didn’t express any interest . ”

In-gong felt lightheaded .

The sword duke’s evaluation of Zephyr was beyond his imagination . A strong existence that the Demon World had instinctively felt when he was born . What on earth? He couldn’t even figure out what level it meant .

Moreover, the talk about the demon king . . .

The sword duke assumed that the demon king’s interest wasn’t due to the various powers inside In-gong .

Then why had the demon king shown interest in In-gong? Was it because he endured the demon king’s gaze at the first court gathering?

The sword duke raised his body . In-gong’s gaze naturally followed the sword duke who shrugged and said,

"Anyhow, I am interested in Prince . I would like to convey some enlightenment to Prince, so what do you think?”

In-gong closed his eyes . He drove all questions from his mind and only focused on the sword duke .

The sword duke’s teachings . . .

There was no reason to refuse .

He wasn’t In-gong’s enemy . The sword duke’s gaze was penetrating, but it wasn’t hostile .

In-gong took a deep breath and looked at the sword duke with a stiff expression . He stared straight into the sword duke’s eyes and said with an awkward smile,

"Please teach me . ”

Carack clenched his fists . Felicia sighed with relief and smiled .

The sword duke also smiled . He raised his hand to In-gong’s shoulder .

"I came to Prince to teach you an aura management technique and a few skills . I will leave them to Prince’s talent to learn . ”

“I understand . ”

The most common situation was for the conversation to stop here . In order to learn aura management techniques, some conditions were needed .

However, that wasn’t the case for the sword duke .

“Then let's begin . "

Felicia, who had thought she couldn’t be confused anymore, was surprised by the sword duke’s words .

The sword duke stretched out two big hands and grabbed In-gong’s head . He closed his eyes and triggered his aura .

In-gong also closed his eyes . His sharp instinct urged for compliance instead of resistance .

The aura of the sword duke was a brilliant gold . Just as when Caitlin had first taught In-gong about aura, the sword duke’s golden aura led In-gong’s aura . It was a completely different path from Divine Beast Authority .

[The S rank technique, Sura Heart Law Lv1, has been learnt . ]

As always, In-gong instantly incorporated the new technique . There was an elusive smile on the sword duke’s face as his golden aura started to invade every inch of In-gong’s body .

In-gong realized that the aura in his body was activated in a different way . His breathing method was also changing .

As he acquired knowledge . Images flashed in his head . It was the appearance of the sword duke displaying some techniques .

They were the skills that the sword duke had promised .

One was a new movement . If Divine Beast Authority was explosive movement, the new method taught by the sword duke was the wind . It was fast and light, and sometimes rough like a gale .

The other was a spread out technique rather than a punch . It was a pushing technique, not one that destroyed the enemy like Gigantic Piston . In-gong was given an impression of the power that spread from the sword duke . It felt like he had actually learnt the techniques in reality .

The last one was a feet technique, Involving kicking at a simple, not flashy pace . However, it was quick and powerful .

[Sura Heart Law – Wind Style Lv1 has been learnt . ]

[Sura Heart Law – Great Mountain Lv1 has been learnt . ]

[Sura Heart Law – Lightning Lv1 has been learnt . ]

Sura Heart Law and three other techniques were transferred to him .

In-gong admired the method of transferring techniques, but the sword duke was even more impressed .

In-gong had acquired the skills too quickly . Although the sword duke had used a direct injection method, the speed exceeded what he had expected .

'A genius comparable to 2nd Prince?’

No, it wasn’t like that . There was talent in combat, but not so much towards learning techniques .

Then what was this speed? Had the sword duke misjudged the talent of the 9th Prince? It wasn’t somebody else but the sword duke himself who had made a mistake?

Then it was good . It was a pleasant mistake . The sword duke laughed and finishing injecting the techniques happily .

However, he couldn’t . It wasn’t because In-gong rejected it, nor was there a problem with the transfer process . The transfer technique was done properly and In-gong learnt all the techniques that the sword duke wanted to teach .

However, the changes in In-gong weren’t over .

A white aura flashed like fire from In-gong’s entire body . Carack, Karma and Felicia didn’t know the situation, but the sword duke was shocked . He was panicked by the changes taking place in In-gong’s body .

[S rank technique Sura Heart Law has been learnt . ]

[The level of Protagonist Body has increased due to the repeated learnings . ]

[The level of Protagonist Body Lv2 skill – Hundreds Poisons Resistance has risen . Once Hundred Poisons Resistance reaches Lv3, it can evolve into Thousand Poisons Resistance . ]

[Protagonist Body Lv3 skill – Harmony Lv1 has been acquired . ]

The aura inside In-gong’s body was split into two . One chose the Divine Beast Authority aura management method while the other chose the Sura Heart Law method .

It was a phenomenon that the sword duke was seeing for the very first time . Even if he had seen something similar, 99% of the people had their bodies ruined by the opposing auras .

The white aura around In-gong swelled greatly . Carack, who had been admiring it until now, realized that something was wrong . Felicia also had an urgent expression on her face as she cried out .

The sword duke heard Felicia’s voice . but he didn’t try to restrain In-gong . He simply watched .

Carack alternated his gaze between In-gong and the sword duke . He looked toward Felicia like he was seeking a path, but Felicia didn’t respond . She was staring at the sword duke with gritted teeth . She didn’t know what she was hoping for, but she begged and prayed for In-gong .

‘Master . ’

Green Wind watched as In-gong closed his eyes and had the techniques transferred to him . As she saw the auras flowing violently, she was reminded of the Great Enkidu and Watcher Ainkel .

The powers of two different elder dragons . Despite the two powers being opposite of each other, In-gong had made them one .

This time as well, it was no different . The two auras running through different routes gradually became one . Not only did the auras combine together, but the aura method also became one .

Sura Heart Law and Divine Beast Authority .

Both of them were S rank . However,it was different now . The two didn’t deny each other any longer .

[Sura Heart Law and Divine Beast Authority are in harmony . ]

[The S rank Divine Beast Authority has evolved . ]

In-gong conquered Sura Heart Law and Divine Beast Authority . He was able to create a new technique because he ruled them in the truest sense .

It had the explosive power of Divine Beast Authority and the swiftness of Sura Heart Law .

It was a new power beyond the limit of a S rank!

[The SS rank technique, Divine Sura Authority Lv1, has been learnt . ]

Divine Sura Authority . . .

However, this wasn’t the end . In-gong used his saved skill points .

[The level of Divine Sura Authority has risen . ]

[The level of Divine Sura Authority has risen . ]

Divine Sura Authority Lv3 .

The power springing from In-gong’s depths formed a clear shape .

Carack became excited again while Felicia clasped both hands tensely as she stared at In-gong . Meanwhile, Karma prayed to Green Wind .

There was a light of wonder on the sword duke’s face .

Then after a moment . . .

In-gong opened his eyes and a pure white aura was freed .
