Chapter 93 – Chapter 14: The Last Flame #8

In-gong opened his eyes .

His vision gradually cleared and he saw a ceiling .

‘I am becoming used to this . ’

In-gong whispered as he blinked .

It was the first time he had fainted straight after battle . Although, there had been a few times when he had been filled with exhaustion after the battle was over, yet still had to clean everything up . Even when he fought Gerard, he had lost consciousness only when the battle was fully completed .

'I should invest more points in durability and persistence . . . No, it is an aura problem, so I should raise the level of Aura . ’

His mind cleared up and he could now feel the warmth that was right beside him .

In-gong turned his head sideways . As expected, Caitlin was sleeping serenely next to him .

Felicia and Carack knew the effects of the Moonlight Core and Starlight Core, so they were holding hands like they had done at the lycanthrope house .

There was a dark orange light, so he couldn’t see Caitlin’s face clearly, but she was very calm . In-gong’s heart warmed as he gazed at her .

‘Shutra as well . ’

Caitlin had said it .

He was sorry for having squeezed out her aura so forcefully, but she looked cute .

‘Relax, relax . ’

In-gong took a deep breath and raised his upper body . However, there was someone attacking In-gong’s upper body .

‘Master, you’re awake!’

As expected, it was Green Wind . Green Wind hugged In-gong’s upper body tightly . The weight felt good and he turned to face her, stroking her head with his free left hand .

“Well, well . Yes, yes . Whoa, whoa . ”

It felt similar to how he soothed Maybach . Then Green Wind complained,

"Your treatment seems different from usual, but it feels good . Continue, Master . ”

It wasn’t possible to see Green Wind’s expression since her head was buried in In-gong’s neck, but he could tell what the expression was .

In-gong laughed and patted Green Wind’s back slowly .

“Yes, yes . Well done . It was clever to trick the guardian with your green light . ”

He whispered proper praise into her ears . Then Green Wind raised her body and gazed at In-gong . She said with a big smile,

"Did you only just find that out? Nevertheless, Master is a good master . Praise my wits . ”

She then burrowed herself in In-gong’s arms again .

1,000 years of solitude was scary . Or was this perhaps just her natural personality?

In the end, In-gong couldn’t control his laughter as he kept stroking Green Wind’s back . The texture of her long hair felt good .

“Yes, yes . Well, well . Nice, kind . ”

It was good that Maybach was at the Demon King’s Palace right now .

In-gong had the mischievous thought as he held the beauty in his arms and looked around the room .

The walls, ceiling and furniture were all gorgeous, but the room itself was quite narrow . In-gong and Caitlin were lying on a slightly large single bed that wasn’t meant for two people .

"Is this a room in Silvan’s flying ship?”

Green Wind raised her body again at In-gong’s words .

"You’re so great, Master . How did you know?”

"I can’t not know . ”

In-gong pointed at the opposite wall and Green Wind quickly turned to look . There was a big portrait hanging on the white wall .

The shiny silver hair, healthy brown skin, charming beauty and noble air . . . However, the most noticeable things were the eye patch over the right eye and the plump feathered captain’s hat . The subject of the painting was posing in a very strong and uncomfortable posture .

‘It reminds me of Napoleon’s portrait . ’

In it, Silvan was wearing tight silk pants .

In-gong looked away from the portrait towards Green Wind again .

“The others?”

"Everybody is sleeping . The fight was only completed a few hours ago . It is now early morning . Felicia wanted to watch over my amazing master, but Felicia was also tired . She decided to rest based on my recommendation . ”

There was one strange thing about the story .

“Amazing?”

He guessed it was referring to him, but it was strange .

Green Wind replied with an unconcerned expression,

"Meeting you is amazing, amazing . Moreover, Master seems to feel very good when someone says amazing . ”

It was undeniable . Green Wind turned briefly to look at the sleeping Caitlin, then leaned close to him with a bright face .

"Master is amazing . ”

Despite it being said informally, its effect was great . In-gong cleared his throat as he felt his heart beating wildly .

"Uhh, I won’t deny it . However, please don’t take Caitlin’s identity . ”

"I don’t know what you’re talking about . ”

Green Wind laughed and raised her body . As she touched In-gong’s shoulder, she became half-blurred .

"Rest a little more, Master . Morning is still far away . ”

“Yes . ”

The clock on the mini-map said that it was two in the morning . Like Green Wind had said, morning was still far away .

In-gong lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes . He could feel Caitlin’s warmth through his right hand as he fell deep asleep .

&

"Once again, I will introduce myself . I am 5th Prince Silvan Doomblade . As you can see, I am a prince of heaven who moves across the sky . ”

"It is truly shameful . . . but as you all know, he is my twin brother . ”

The next morning . . .

In-gong and Caitlin washed up with the water Carack brought them and Felicia and Silvan came to visit them .

Silvan glanced at Felicia who looked ashamed and clicked his tongue .

“Felicia, don’t be ashamed . As my sister, you also have my beauty and grace . So, you don't have to be ashamed of that . Stand proudly . ”

He didn’t know why she was ashamed, or maybe he was just ignoring reality .

"I’d rather die . ”

Felicia covered her red face with a fan and took deep breaths . It seemed like Felicia received Silvan’s share of shame . It was unfortunate that she couldn’t lament it openly .

In-gong closed his mouth as he tried to stop from laughing and Caitlin looked from Felicia to Silvan with curious eyes .

Felicia, who had barely recovered her composure, pointed at In-gong and Caitlin .

"Caitlin and Shutra . Silvan, do you know them?”

"Well, roughly . It has been a long time since I’ve seen them up close . ”

Silvan gazed at In-gong and Caitlin . It could almost be seen as a displeased look .

However, Caitlin greeted him with her normal bright face .

"It is nice to meet you, Silvan oppa . ”

“Nice to meet you too . ”

Unlike Felicia, he talked to Caitlin in a more formal way . It was the same for both In-gong and Caitlin . Compared to Felicia, it was harder for Silvan to act friendly with them .

Silvan’s expression changed after they exchanged greetings . His eyes narrowed as he asked Caitlin,

“How is Chris?”

It was much smoother compared to when Chris mentioned Silvan, but it wasn’t that intimate .

However, Caitlin just smiled .

"He is very healthy . He’s doing well . ”

“I- I see . ”

Silvan seemed confused by Caitlin’s attitude . Felicia laughed at their conversation and raised a hand to Silvan’s shoulder .

"Silvan suddenly appeared because of me . While staying at the lycanthrope house, I used a long distance communication method and contacted him . ”

“Felicia noona?”

"Yes, he told me that he would come see me . I thought it would take a long time because he was quite a distance away, but he arrived sooner than I expected . ”

It was the reason she didn’t mention Silvan when they had been worried about reinforcements for Spider Forest . Felicia thought that she wouldn’t be able to meet Silvan until after two weeks .

Silvan pulled Felicia close and stroked her head .

"Felicia was exhausted . I needed to charge over as quickly as possible . So, I flew like the wind to meet my beloved sister . ”

She didn’t feel any better despite his sweet voice . Chris loved Caitlin quite a lot, but it seemed like Silvan loved Felicia more . Felicia held back a sigh and said to Caitlin,

“I’m sorry about my brother . His screws are a bit loose, but he isn’t a bad person . He is just a fool . ”

Caitlin nodded . In order to change the atmosphere, In-gong spoke to Silvan,

"You were a big help in last night’s battle . Thank you . ”

Although the first charge had been impulsive, Silvan’s subsequent activities had been impressive . He had also taken care of everything after In-gong and Caitlin fainted .

Silvan raised an eyebrow at In-gong’s appreciation, then replied with a bitter laugh,

"I did my best, but . . . you played a more active role . You were amazing . I heard about it, but I honestly never imagined that you would be this great . It’s amazing . ”

"Isn't it? Didn’t I tell you? Isn’t our Shutra great?”

Felicia raised her chin as she exclaimed . Caitlin nodded in agreement .

“Shutra is amazing . ”

If Chris had been there, he would have asked why the two people were saying it . However, this was Silvan .

Silvan simply shrugged and spoke to Felicia in a sad voice,

“Felicia, this oppa is also great . If I take off this eyepatch . . . ”

“I’m sorry about my brother . ”

Felicia quickly cut off Silvan’s words . However, Caitlin was curious .

"Silvan oppa, what will happen if you take off that eyepatch?”

“Ahh . ”

Felicia lamented, but it was too late . Silvan laughed happily .

"It is good that you asked . This is a special object that suppresses my strength . If I remove this, my true strength will awaken . However, that power is dangerous, so I usually keep it suppressed . ”

“Wah!”

Caitlin let out a sound of admiration and Felicia blushed as she shook her head .

"Caitlin, you should do it moderately . ”

“Huh? But it really is great . Very cool, Silvan oppa . ”

Silvan felt perplexed by Caitlin’s heartfelt admiration . He then turned to ask In-gong a question,

"That reminds me . Shutra, that technique you used— Chris uses a similar one . Did you learn Beast Authority from the lycanthropes?”

"Yes, I learnt the basics from Chris and Caitlin . ”

"Our Shutra is amazing . ”

Felicia boasted about In-gong once more and Caitlin nodded again .

"Even the sword duke praised his great talent . ”

“Wait, the sword duke?”

Silvan’s expression changed instantly . He gazed at Felicia with a stiff expression .

“Felicia, what does that mean?”

"Uh, well . . . that . . . ”

Felicia seemed distressed as she avoided his gaze . She knew he would have this type of reaction if the story about the sword duke came out .

Silvan let his gaze linger on Felicia, then turned back to Caitlin . At that very moment, knocking was heard at the door .

"How long do you want me to wait?”

Amita was waiting at the door with a sad expression . Felicia instantly turned toward them .

“Amita . ”

“Yes, is there a problem?”

“No . ”

Silvan knew that Amita was the sword duke’s friend and retreated with dismay . Amita stared at Silvan for a moment, then stepped towards the group .

"Are you both okay?”

"Thanks for your concern, but I am fine . ”

"Me too . ”

In-gong spoke first, followed by Caitlin .

Amita pounded on the floor with their tail and said,

"Thanks to you, I was able to defend the last flame yesterday . So, I will make you the equipment as promised, but we have some work to do before that . ”

There was something else left?

While everyone had puzzled expressions on their faces, Amita turned toward In-gong .

“9th Prince, the last flame wants to meet you . ”

“Huh?”

“Literally . Follow me . "

The last flame . . .

The sacred fire .

Everyone’s faces became shocked .
