Chapter 139

Chapter 139 – Chapter 25: Opening #2

It was like an explosion . It was comparable to opening a door which had been blocked to its limit .

Fairy…

It was a blessing from the first fairy king as well as a curse .

Those born with the fairy had enormous magic power which was different from ordinary dark elves . They were able to turn all their natural strength into magic power . Even incompatible powers such as magic and aura would become complete under the control of the fairy .

Additionally, it didn’t stop .

The owner of the fairy could use the magic power which also existed in the atmosphere of the Demon World . It was theoretical, but if they exerted the fairy’s power to its limits, it was possible to have infinite power .

The first fairy king used the power of the fairy to establish a kingdom . Even though there were no signs of it left, the dark elves were able to stand on their own feet due to the kingdom of the fairies .

So, the fairy was a blessing . However, at the same time, it was also a curse . With the exception of the first fairy king, the fairy’s owner didn’t have complete control over the power .

Except for the first fairy king, all the owners of the fairy lost their lives due to excessive abuse of power . It was because once the magic power was exhausted, it would start to drain the power necessary to sustain its life .

During childhood, the fairy’s magic power was somewhat weak, so it was possible to reign it in . However, there were no method after becoming an adult . Opening up the fairy in one fight would be like consuming the owner’s their life .

Silvan was born with the fairy .

Ever since his childhood mistake in opening up the fairy, he had never unlocked the seal on the fairy again . Unlike the other dark elves, Silvan didn’t learn magic and focused on aura and swordsmanship instead to stay as far away from the fairy as possible .

Silvan’s fairy, which had been sealed for many years, shone with a golden radiance as he unleashed its strong and brilliant power .

Successive explosions followed . They weren’t caused by magic but an explosion of magic power, and that power was beyond imagination .

The Famine Knight backed away hurriedly and used the power of Famine . Silvan inserted magic power into Amita’s sword while staring at the Famine Knight, and a blade of golden light rose above the sword like a lightning bolt .

Felicia howled as Silvan rushed toward the Famine Knight . The Famine Knight blocked Silvan’s charge with the power of Famine, but Silvan’s magic power is too great . It was impossible to deplete all of it, even with the power of Famine .

“Sepira!”

Silvan shouted in pain . Sepira immediately understood what he meant . She ignored the blurry vision caused by her tears and ran toward Felicia . Delia was also the same .

Silvan drove back the Famine Knight, and lightning spread everywhere . His eyes were shining a brilliant gold .

Delia hastily pulled off the heavily dented chest armour which was interfering with Felicia’s breathing . Felicia breathed out reflexively, then Sepira hugged her forcefully .

Felicia understood . She knew what Sepira wanted to do, and Sepira didn’t release Felicia . She carried Felicia and ran forward without looking back .

“Silvan! Silvan!”

Felicia screamed, but Silvan didn’t look at Felicia . Instead of controlling the fairy’s power, he released it freely . His aura, which had been broken by Arang, was forcibly converted to magic power and caused another round . In the end, his life force was being exhausted .

It was all to protect Felicia . In order to save her, he had to defeat the monster before him!

Kwa kwang!

Lightning struck and the sound of thunder filled the passage . The power of Famine couldn’t absorb the magic power and split apart .

Silvan coughed up blood . The Famine Knight triggered his aura, but the Famine Knight’s strength was still lacking . In the end, he had to deal with Silvan by using the power of Gerard, who was called the strongest among the lycanthropes .

The Famine Knight used Gerard’s memories of Divine Beast Authority . Silvan swung his giant sword made of magic power and attacked the Famine Knight . A stray blow tore the ceiling apart .

The explosions continued in succession . At that time, Sepira reached the stairs, and Felicia finally exclaimed,

“Silvan!”

There was no reply to her heartbreaking scream . Sepira jumped the stairs and reached the third floor . It was just a large room, so she could spot the stairs leading to the second floor easily .

The entire ruin seemed to be in shock as rubble fell from the ceiling .

Sepira continued to run, while Felicia’s struggle became weaker . Harsh breathing filled the passage .

How much time had passed since they started running away? At best, it was a dozen or so seconds, maybe not even be one minute .

Sepira, who had run to the second floor, looked back, and Delia swallowed a scream as she illuminated their surroundings with magic .

An ominous darkness was coming from far away . At the same time, there was also a dazzling golden light .

Part of the ruin had collapsed, and a huge gold light pierced through the ceiling, causing a vibration .

It was a huge magic power . However, the strength behind that magic power meant Silvan’s life force was numbered .

Sepira clenched her fists as she ran . Delia swallowed back her tears as well . Her heart felt like it was going to burst, and her breathing felt choked .

Time passed, maybe 20 minutes or more .

They finally reached the stairs to the first floor . Sepira climbed the stairs painfully, followed by Delia . The horrible nightmare was still coming .

Every time there was a dreadful roar, it sounded much closer, and the golden colour flashed in the darkness .

Sepira moved to climb to the first floor . At that moment, Delia covered Sepira . The two people rolled to the ground with Felicia as the staircase collapsed .

The stairs connecting the first and second floors had collapsed . Felicia looked through the hole caused by the collapse . She could see the back of Silvan’s shoulders drooping down . Beyond that, there was a black spot .

It had been 20 minutes since he opened up the fairy . Silvan was half-dead, and the Famine Knight was also suffering from excruciating injuries, but he was still standing .

In the past, Gerard would already be out of combat . However, the current Famine Knight was a doll controlled by Famine but had Gerard’s memories . Gerard could only move due to the power of Famine .

It wasn’t good . The Famine Knight couldn’t absorb the enormous magic power of the fairy all at once, but it was possible to devour it slowly . If Silvan hadn’t been hit by Arang or if he was a powerful magician, the story might have been different . However, it was meaningless to think about that now .

The Famine Knight was a dark werewolf, and black smoke filled up the empty spots in his body .

The Famine Knight kicked off from the ground . Then Silvan—instead of striking the Famine Knight with his sword, he caused a huge magical vortex .

However, it was insignificant .

The memory of Gerard laughed . In the old days, he had been the strongest of the lycanthropes and known for his footwork . He used Divine Beast Authority’s explosive power and maneuvered at high speed to avoid Silvan’s magic vortex . Gerard stretched out just as Silvan caused another explosion .

Magic power and aura collided . Although Silvan instinctively created a shield of magic power to block it, he was still pushed back . Thrown back more than a dozen metres, he landed, spread out on top of the collapsed staircase .

The Famine Knight sighed with a satisfied expression, then he ridiculed the scene which was occurring in front of him .

Felicia had jumped toward Silvan . She poured her magic power desperately into the dying Silvan . At the same time, she cast various recovery magic and defense spells .

It was stupid . The Famine Knight devoured everything, and that’s why he knew . The fairy was already in an unstoppable state . She could wrap the injuries of Silvan’s body with recovery magic, but she couldn’t prevent magic power from leaking .

It was pitiful .

The Famine Knight didn’t know whether it was the Famine Knight’s memory or Gerard’s, but he sneered with ridicule and took a step forward . Despite this, the damage to the Famine Knight wasn’t small . So, he had to absorb the last of Silvan’s power .

Felicia cast her magic desperately . She pulled Silvan’s head onto her lap and used all the recovery magic she knew . However, it was useless . She was sensitive to the flow of magic power, so she knew Silvan had almost no magic power remaining .

Silvan’s hands trembled . Instead of grabbing Felicia’s hand, he pointed toward the air . Somehow, he squeezed out magic power to stop the Famine Knight .

Felicia wanted to yell out, ‘Idiot!’, however, she held back her curses since he had already done it .

Felicia would rather have the fairy herself . Then she would be able to save Silvan . Maybe she would even be able to create a better situation .

The Famine Knight approached . Sepira and Delia were prepared to die as they stood before Felicia . Not giving up on the situation, Felicia glared straight ahead as she hugged Silvan’s head . The Famine Knight took a step forward .

Then right at that moment…!

The Tears of a Dark Elf shone brilliantly from Felicia’s finger . Why was it shining now when it had been silent so far?

It was simple . Due to the battle between Silvan and the Famine Knight, the ruin had collapsed . So, the flow of magic power was no longer blocked at the entrance by the power of Famine and was spreading elsewhere .

…And another one—

The most important reason .

Felicia dragged Silvan to her . She was both crying and laughing as she called out loudly,

“Shutra!”

Kwaaaaaang!

There was a response to her call . It poured down from the sky as Ascalon, the great weapon from the dragon slayer series .

It penetrated the ruin, breaking through the ceiling of the first floor and into the second floor .

The Famine Knight raised his head as the pair of Tears of a Dark Elf shone in the dark passage . A pair of white and black shields painted a green trail . Shutra flew like a flash and stood before Felicia .

He had arrived .

Divine Sura Authority and a new wind… It was faster than the wind .

Silvan hadn’t opened up his fairy in vain . Shutra had managed to make it in time . He opened his eyes as he glanced at the dark elves .

The Famine Knight was before him, and the power of Famine was fired at him . It was like a black sword .

In-gong glared at the power of Famine . He also activated the power of Conquest and shouted,

“Below the King’s Flag!”

The flag of light formed in In-gong’s hand and was stuck into the ground . At that moment, the white power of Conquest filled the ruins . The power of Famine was pushed out, and Shutra’s white aura rose like a flame .

The Famine Knight was confused . He couldn’t understand it .

It wasn’t just due to the sudden appearance . The Famine Knight had faced the Conquest Knight only a few months ago, yet the power of the Conquest Knight was now significantly different . It was so strong that it couldn’t even be compared to the last time .

Why? What was this?

However, unlike the Famine Knight, In-gong wasn’t confused . Due to the dreaded situation, he had sped here like a storm, but he soon forgot his tiredness .

Felicia was crying, and Silvan was half-dead .

In-gong activated his quad-core . The dragon blood woke up, and Earth Quaker gave a low growl .

Famine Knight… There wouldn’t be a third time . It was time to settle this .

‘Conquer . ’

The white woman’s voice was heard with anger filling her voice .

Then In-gong formed a fist .

He invoked his power .
