Chapter 160

Chapter 160 – Chapter 31: Overwhelming

Zephyr was the protagonist of the Demon World in Knight Saga .

He was a strong warrior and magician, but he never stood alone on the battlefield . As a commander, Zephyr ruled the battlefield with his loyal subordinates and soldiers .

In-gong stood on the wall and looked down at the battlefield . His line of sight was filled with barbarians; there were over ten thousand of them . This wasn’t like the army of eastern barbarians he’d fought in Takar .

Their numbers were several times that, and the army was at least three times stronger . In-gong couldn’t fight using Zephyr’s method, as he lacked the forces to fight against a big army .

Then what should he do? In-gong took a deep breath . There was another protagonist in Knight Saga .

The protagonist of the Human World was the warrior, Locke . Locke wasn’t a prince . He had trustworthy companions whom he shared life and death with, but he didn’t have a loyal army of thousands who would die for him . Locke was a leader—a mighty warrior who brought hope to a desperate battlefield .

‘It is irrational . ’

Locke’s style of fighting was different from Zephyr’s, so he was always at a disadvantage in a fight .

He was the brave warrior who advanced toward the Demon King’s Palace . After passing through tens of thousands of soldiers to reach the demon king, Locke finally became the hero who killed the demon king .

Locke’s method was different from Zephyr’s, and In-gong had to fight using it . In-gong would become a one man army who would reverse the situation . However, Locke was strong and had learnt Knight Saga’s SS rank technique, the Warrior’s Sword .

‘I don’t know . ’

In-gong let out a long breath . The SS ranked Divine Sura Authority created a flow of aura which was breathtaking . He had three equipment from the elder dragon, and Amita had tuned them so well that they were incomparable to normal S rank equipment .

‘Master . ’

Green Wind became a breeze which wrapped around In-gong’s whole body . She was just like Beatrice was to Locke .

Truth be told, it didn’t matter if she was lacking in support when compared to Beatrice .

Green Wind only had the strength of the wind . However, unlike Beatrice, she was always with In-gong . If he had to choose between Beatrice and Green Wind, In-gong would choose Green Wind without any hesitation .

Moreover, it wasn’t just Green Wind who accompanied In-gong .

‘Conquer . ’

From the depths of his soul, the voice of the white woman with red and blue eyes was heard . The power of Conquest continued to increase .

In-gong felt a sharp sensation on his lips, and divine sparks rose over Amita’s newly created Dragon Scale Greaves . It was the final flame—the woman who took In-gong’s first kiss . For reference, the second one had been Green Wind . Somehow, it didn’t feel like he had been kissed twice, but a kiss was still a kiss .

In-gong laughed and made a fist, then he concentrated aura and magic power on Earth Quaker .

Anastasia had said, ‘What can you do alone?’ Her words were right . It was impossible for In-gong to overthrow an army alone . However, In-gong didn’t have to take out the big army alone .

“Carack . ”

Using Night Watch’s power, In-gong hovered in the air slightly and used Call . Carack was a capable aide and knew why In-gong had called him . Instead of asking questions, he walked over to the disconcerted Anastasia . Carack’s role was to act as Anastasia’s escort . He would be able to protect her from blind attacks on the battlefield .

In-gong shifted his gaze toward the sky and the ground, prioritizing them both .

It was definitely far from Zephyr’s battle style . Moreover, Zephyr wouldn’t be here in the first place . Anastasia was a competitor for the throne . So, from Zephyr’s point of view, it would be best to just let her die .

However, In-gong was here . It wasn’t because Felicia had begged him to save Anastasia . Nor had he calculated that saving her would improve their relationship and gain a political favour . In-gong wanted things to change . He wanted to destroy the ending of Knight Saga where all of the demon king’s children died .

‘I like this about Master . ’

Green Wind said suddenly, as though she had read his heart . In-gong smiled and separated White Eagle from Black Eagle . The two of them shone with a green light and started to revolve around In-gong .

“Let’s go, Green Wind . ”

‘Let’s go, Master . ’

No further preparation was needed, and In-gong rose up into the air . The power of Conquest spread out, focusing everyone’s attention on him .

‘Like a warrior!’

In-gong flew forward like a flash toward the closest wyvern . The dark blue Night Watch made a rough trajectory in the wind .

Kwakakakang!

There was a huge roar . In-gong accelerated past the wyvern instantly, with White Eagle and Black Eagle breaking its neck . As red blood splashed out from the wyvern, In-gong was already flying toward the second wyvern . There were continuous roars, and In-gong accelerated past each wyvern . It wasn’t long before the seventh wyvern fell to the ground .

The loud sounds in the sky, along with the falling wyverns, were enough to make a strong impression . The number of eyes staring at In-gong increased . There were still a few wyverns left in the sky, but In-gong’s next goal was the ground .

While soaring in the sky, In-gong changed direction suddenly . He dived toward the ground and stretched out his right hand, grabbing Ascalon from his inventory . He then unfolded the Dragon Bane—Ascalon’s super special move!

In-gong appeared as a lightning bolt as the charging lance struck the neck of a huge monster . The monster couldn’t endure the horrific shock and collapsed instantly . Astonishment and shock ensued as the monster cried out with pain .

As Dragon Bane was stronger against dragons, the monster wasn’t killed with one blow .

However, In-gong didn’t mind . The important thing wasn’t to stop the monster’s breath—it was enough to show that the monster could be neutralized by a single strike .

More gazes gathered on him . The battles on all sides of the fortress subsided, and as all eyes stared at him, In-gong inhaled deeply . He placed Ascalon back in his inventory, while he climbed onto the neck of the monster!

‘Black Specter!’

A dark blue fog spread out . The flapping sounds of hundreds of wings caught everyone’s ears . The dark fog started from the neck of the monster, crossing more than 100 meters to reach the main force of the barbarians .

It was a fearsome sight . The black fog descended and swallowed everything in its path . Despite the flapping wings, loud screams could be heard clearly . Then the sound of the wings stopped . The dark fog dissipated, and a white light emerged .

In-gong raised the king’s flag once again, then he spread out the power of Conquest . The red energy of war, which had been covering the barbarians, was destroyed . There were hundreds of barbarians at In-gong’s feet, but none of them were able to shoot their bows or throw their spears .

In-gong had overwhelmed them temporarily . The whole battlefield looked at him, and he stared out at what was before him .

He looked at Actius, the king of the western barbarians . In-gong already knew what to do next . He wasn’t a warrior who led through fighting like Karatus, the king of the eastern barbarians . Actius was a cowardly ruler . Therefore, he was always away from the main area of his first attack .

“Bedora!”

A monster standing beside Actius, opened its mouth at Actius’ command .

The monster was a horn drake, a land type dragon . It was a monster whose body was 30 meters long, and it ran on the ground with four feet without any wings . A fearsome power was focused on the giant horn on the forehead, and a pillar of light three meters in diameter shot out from its mouth . It was a fearsome breath incomparable to that of the wyverns’ .

In-gong glared at it . Instead of using Blink, he combined White Eagle and Black Eagle before him . Following Night Watch’s super special move, Black Specter, he used White Eagle’s super special move this time .

‘Absolute Area!’

The moment the red pillar hit White Eagle, the sky turned red . The pillar split into hundreds and thousands of pieces, alternating their direction toward the sky and the ground .

Then someone screamed . This was just the beginning .

Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!

A heavy rain of light poured down from the sky . Confusion and terror spread every time a ray of light hit the ground .

Actius panicked and so did the horn drake, who shot out the breath . However, In-gong didn’t wait for either of them . The dark fog exploded once again under the torrent of light . Blink—In-gong used Blink three times in succession to break through the zone of heavy firepower . He then drew back his right fist as he moved forward .

His target wasn’t Actius . In-gong focused all the power of his quad-core on one point . Then he used one attack . Following Night Watch and White Eagle, it was Earth Quaker’s super special move!

‘True Destruction!’

In-gong struck the neck and chest of the horn drake . The power of destruction sprang out and crushed the horn drake’s body .

Kwaaaaaang!

It was like thunder had struck the ground . The power of destruction, which combined both aura and magic power, seemed to break both the sky and the earth . The horn drake didn’t scream . Its head simply fell to the ground, and once the huge body collapsed, it caused the earth to shake .

Dust and dirt rose up . Surprised by the sound of thunder near him, Actius gasped . He couldn’t comprehend the situation and was paralyzed by what happened . It seemed like a terrible nightmare . The other barbarians were the same . It was pointless to see how many had died and how many were left . The only thing that remained in their heads was the power of the destruction .

There was a calm in the storm . Once again, the black fog exploded in the midst of the tension, anxiety and fear . With the last Blink, In-gong landed on the ground in front of Actius .

In-gong was tired as well . He had used four successive super special moves, but he couldn’t stop here . He had to finish it properly .

In-gong gathered his remaining aura and magic power as he stared at Actius . He took out various scrolls he’d received from Felicia from his inventory as well . Wind, fire and lightning exploded in all directions, causing a disruption in the surrounding area .

Actius was overwhelmed by In-gong and moved quickly . Instead of rushing toward In-gong, he started to escape urgently . He had already witnessed In-gong’s movements, so he didn’t stop .

It was as In-gong thought . In Knight Saga, Actius would escape if there was any sign of danger . It happened when Actius was convinced he couldn’t keep fighting or win the battle . The barbarians around Actius panicked . They fell into confusion and didn’t run toward In-gong, nor did they escape with Actius .

Instead of attacking the barbarians, In-gong burnt the banner of war which was next to Actius . The flag played a central role in supplying energy to the battlefield, so the effect was indeed enormous . The aura of war covering the whole battlefield was removed, causing further confusion .

That wasn’t all . Green Wind appeared next to In-gong and shouted toward the sky,

“The barbarian king has fled!”

“Fled!”

“Fled!”

The amplified voice spread over the sky of the battlefield .

There were those who couldn’t see the entire battlefield, so it was easy to be deceived . Moreover, the spirit of war which had been controlling the barbarians’ spirits had disappeared . It wasn’t possible for the barbarians to maintain a sense of calm .

The ranks of the main body, who had actually witnessed Actius fleeing, collapsed . They were also witnesses to In-gong’s overwhelming ability, so they chose to escape instead of fighting him . As dozens of barbarians ran away, the flow quickly grew to hundreds and then thousands . Those at the left and right wings, which were distant from the centre, were confused by the movements of the center . It was the same for those on top of the fortress .

Anastasia blinked with a dumbfounded expression . She couldn’t believe everything that had happened before her eyes . At that moment, Carack shouted from in front of Anastasia,

“Princess! Now!”

Anastasia’s eyes widened, and she immediately understood the situation . It was now the time to give support from the rear . The barbarians’ escape was just a temporary phenomenon . In order to spread that phenomenon to all the barbarians, military power was necessary .

Anastasia pulled out a potion and drank it . After recovering her magic power forcibly, she gave a command she had never imagined would be shouted today .

“Open the gates! Support Shutra!”

&

The whole battlefield began to transform .

The barbarians, who had lost the energy of war, were no longer immune to spirit magic . The result of Anastasia’s long term spirit magic was really frightening . The completely deceived wyverns then poured energy shots toward the barbarians . The individual barbarians were not controlling the monsters—the nightmares were . Complicated commands were not needed . Simple control was enough to make the monsters go crazy .

There were thousands of troops in the central fortress . It was unreasonable to pursue the barbarians who outnumbered them . However, the barbarians had suffered considerable damage while escaping . There were those who were trampled by their own allies or killed by a raging monster . Anastasia pretended to pursue them aggressively . This meant that the barbarians couldn’t stop moving . She didn’t drive the barbarians in one direction but scattered them in every direction .

In-gong looked at the mini-map while sitting on White Eagle, up in the air . In-gong let out an involuntary sigh of relief . There was still some aura and magic power remaining, but his physical and mental strength were completely exhausted . So, he was really glad .

‘As expected from Anastasia . ’

It was a timely response . Moreover, her ability to dismantle the barbarians was really like art . She was really capable .

In-gong closed his eyes . He wanted to fall asleep, but this place was the battlefield . Moreover, In-gong wasn’t alone right now .

“Master, did I do well before? I mimicked what the lycanthropes did at Takar . ”

In-gong stroked Green Wind’s head as she sat next to him . In-gong laughed as he recalled Green Wind spreading the news that the barbarian king had escaped .

“Yes, well done . ”

He took off Earth Quaker and stroked her head with his bare hands . Green Wind looked at him with a pleased expression and said,

“Master . ”

“What is it?”

“You were really cool today . ”

Green Wind spoke honestly, and the effect was powerful . In-gong shifted his gaze to avoid Green Wind’s eyes .

Then the voice of a woman was heard in In-gong’s ears .

[You have led a desperate battle to victory . ]

[Title: Great Hero has been acquired . ]

[Your level has risen . ]

In-gong smiled with satisfaction .
