Chapter 179

Chapter 179 – Chapter 35: Battle #6

There were two things necessary to fight Abseltur . One was a might divinity and the other was preparation for poison .

Abseltur could poison the surrounding area just by breathing . Moreover, his poisons were different from common poisons . Abseltur’s poisons was constantly changing in type .

Therefore, unless the person knew every decryption magic, it was inevitable for them to be poisoned . The even more horrible fact was that they could still be affected by another poison, even if they were already poisoned .

Once dozens of poisons overlapped, a person wouldn’t be able to survive no matter how great they were . It was Abseltur’s poison which had taken the life of the second fairy ruler, the one who had destroyed Abseltur’s body . She had been poisoned by more than 100 poisons and had been unable to avoid a painful death .

Abseltur breathed out his poison . Not only did the serpent of the tail open its mouth, but the dragon, wolf and griffon heads also breathed out different types of poison . He had been hesitant to use the poisons because they would take the lives of the subordinates he’d brought, but there was no time to worry about that now .

Naturally, In-gong knew all about Abseltur’s poisons . However, he jumped into the poisons without any hesitation .

When it came to poison resistance alone, In-gong overwhelmed even Locke and Zephyr . He couldn’t completely prevent damage from the poisons, but that was enough . Moreover, with Abseltur changing the poison every minute, it was a good experience for In-gong .

Every time Abseltur used a new type of poison, a message would be triggered . It was a happy situation where In-gong would accumulate experience even if he just stood still .

[The level of Thousand Poisons Resistance has risen . ]

[Thousand Poisons Resistance has been promoted to Ten Thousand Poisons Resistance . ]

In-gong’s resistance to poison exploded once again . He rushed through the mist of poisons and reached Abseltur, who belatedly realized the poisons had no use .

A white and black aura collided in the air . Abseltur moved to one side to avoid a direct strike from In-gong, before deciding to change his tactics . Masses of magic power, at least two meters in diameter, were launched in succession .

In-gong knew this attack well . Instead of trying to rush toward Abseltur, he threw White Eagle and widened the distance . Abseltur twisted in the air to avoid White Eagle . His agility was reminiscent of a cat or bird of prey . However, In-gong didn’t miss that . The moment Abseltur turned his body, In-gong used his last Dragon Breath!

‘It is no use!’

Abseltur used the Blink he had prepared in advance . His body soared up into the sky, and In-gong’s Dragon Breath hit an empty space .

However, In-gong didn’t stop using Dragon Breath . Rather, he poured more power into Dragon Breath . It wasn’t due to desperation; In-gong had a clear target . From the beginning, his target had been something other than Abseltur!

“Absolute Area!”

Green Wind called out . Dragon Breath struck White Eagle in the air, reflected off, and changed direction . It now aimed toward Abseltur in the air . It was impossible to avoid this attack . Moreover, the Dragon Breath was faster and stronger due to the effect of Absolute Area .

Abseltur shrieked as Dragon Breath hit him . He twisted desperately to escape the trail of Dragon Breath, but he was already damaged . All four remaining wings were destroyed, and a large hole drilled in his torso .

‘Noohm!’

Abseltur crashed to the ground and sprang up quickly . However, it was already too late . The moment that he started to fall, In-gong stopped Dragon Breath and used successive Blinks . In-gong ended up behind Abseltur .

Abseltur had three heads . When fighting common monsters, every head should be cut off, but Abseltur was different . In the first place, the three heads were a result of the transformation, so In-gong needed to aim for the body .

He concentrated divine power and aura on his right fist . Earth Quaker growled angrily but accepted the divine power .

Abseltur looked at In-gong and chose to avoid In-gong, instead of attacking . He abandoned his current appearance hurriedly and took the form of a huge wolf head . The wolf head was only three meters big, making it rather small compared to his previously huge body, but there was no way for him to miss In-gong in the air .

However, that was a mistake . Once Abseltur took the image of a wolf, In-gong triggered his last Blink . The dark blue smoke exploded, and Abseltur saw In-gong appear before him as though he had been aiming for this moment .

‘How?!’

Abseltur couldn’t move . Telekinesis had frozen Abseltur’s body in midair . It was a power Abseltur could destroy immediately if he exerted his strength, but he didn’t get the chance . This was the first time Abseltur had fought In-gong, but In-gong was different . Considering the number of simulations, Abseltur was an opponent In-gong had fought over a dozen times!

“Tr-ue Des-truct-ion!”

In-gong used Earth Quaker’s super special move . His fist struck Abseltur’s abdomen, and a brilliant destructive force emerged . It was a divine destruction—a power which could not be tolerated . Abseltur’s body exploded .

Kiaaaack!

There was a horrible scream as a black spirit hit In-gong . It was Abseltur’s true body .

In-gong didn’t avoid the mental attack . He didn’t have Beatrice’s magic, but In-gong had his own divinity . Additionally, he wouldn’t swap out Green Wind’s blessing even if it meant two Beatrices .

In-gong’s divinity collided with Abseltur’s unique power and destroyed it . Dozens of sharp wounds appeared on In-gong’s body, with blood gushing out like a fountain . However, In-gong didn’t stop . He stretched out his hand and triggered Telekinesis . In-gong caught Abseltur’s mental body as it was trying to escape!

‘Lightning!’

In-gong struck Abseltur in midair, and the sacred flame from his divinity burnt Abseltur’s spirit .

Abseltur was in terrible pain as he died . Instead of watching Abseltur’s end, In-gong paid attention to the remaining parts of Abseltur’s body . Abseltur’s heart, the nucleus of his magic to be precise, was still safe .

Once purified by Saintess Beatrice, it was a magic power core which was almost as useful as the dragon heart . It would be nice if Amita could insert it into White Eagle .

[Your level has risen . ]

A voice rang out .

After putting the magic nucleus in his inventory, In-gong sighed . At the same time, his god status was lifted, and naturally, the black hair was cut . His hair and eye colour returned to their original colours as well .

“Master! Are you ok…ay?”

Green Wind cried out as she flew toward In-gong . Then suddenly, she was sniffing his body because of the oddly sweet fragrance coming from his whole body, mainly his blood . In-gong laughed as he returned Earth Quaker to the inventory and extended an injured fingertip to Green Wind .

Green Wind hesitated for a bit before sucking In-gong’s finger like a possessed person, then her eyes shone . It was a taste which couldn’t be expressed in words . After becoming a divine humanoid, his gandharva characteristics were enhanced . Moreover, divine power had been concentrated for the final blow . So, In-gong’s blood could truly be called a god’s drink .

A slightly dangerous light appeared in Green Wind’s eyes, but In-gong ignored her . Although he had defeated Abseltur, there were still enemies remaining .

In-gong took a breath and opened the mini-map . Then he blinked in a manner similar to Green Wind . There were almost no red dots left on the mini-map . The blood warriors nearby had been killed by Abseltur’s poisons, while the ones far away had been wiped out by the sura . He couldn’t see anything on the other side of the Sanctuary either .

“Indeed, the gandarva king… the power of Dhrtarastra . ”

A voice was heard from behind In-gong . It was shortly after the battle had ended, but he hadn’t even felt a presence approach . In-gong turned back to face the sword duke with a little bit of surprise and discomfort .

The sword duke’s clothes were a mess . Although they weren’t as badly damaged as In-gong’s clothes, there were parts which were torn or seemed burnt . The more surprising thing was that his hair and clothes were actually a bit messy . However, there was no disturbance in his breathing at all . In-gong couldn’t see even one drop of sweat on the sword duke’s forehead .

In-gong shouted reflexively,

“The lich?”

“Collapsed . All his alter egos meant that it took a while . ”

Indeed, this was the sword duke . Come to think of it, the sword duke was the strongest person in the Demon World, before the demon king . Even if Lich Shutenberg was strong, it was natural he wouldn’t be an opponent for the sword duke .

‘Rather…’

The first words from the sword duke circled strangely in his head .

‘The strength of the gandharva king, Dhrtarastra . ’

How did the sword duke know that? Instead of surprise, there was a strange emotion in the sword duke’s voice . It felt like this incident confirmed what the sword duke already knew, rather than surprising him with something new .

In any case, it was over . This time, he had suddenly brought In-gong to the Sanctuary, and the sword duke also seemed to know something he didn’t .

“Rather, what is this smell? It seems to be coming from Prince . ”

The sword duke said, sniffing suddenly . The surprised In-gong turned to look at his right hand and moved it behind his back . He had reached out to let Green Wind taste it, but he couldn’t do that for the sword duke . No, that would be rather frightening .

“Uh, um . A characteristic of the gandharva . ”

In-gong responded before using Dragon Words . He washed off the blood, minimizing some of the sweet fragrance . The sword duke looked at In-gong with a gentle expression, then he smiled .

“Prince truly is 5th Queen’s child . ”

“Sword Duke?”

In-gong heard a newfound story in the sword duke’s words, but the sword duke didn’t say anything else . He just laughed and spoke with an excited face,

“Anyway, Prince, shouldn’t you take a short break after the emergency? How can I send away a guest who came from a distant place? Moreover, I have some things to talk about with Prince . ”

The sword duke raised his hand to In-gong’s shoulder and turned him around . In-gong could see the silver tower and the sura under it .

“Welcome to the land of the sura . Please note that you are the first one among the children of the demon king to set foot in the Sanctuary . ”

The sword duke winked and hit In-gong’s back .
