Chapter 215 – Chapter 45: Demon King #2

It was something which couldn’t have happened originally . The magic circle on the snowfield wasn’t an ordinary magic circle .

Magicians usually surrounded their homes with powerful magic, and the magician would add various magic circles to increase their power by several times . Shutenberg had created this thousands of years ago . The magic circle had been created before Shutenberg’s castle; it was a magic circle with a weight of over 3,000 years behind it .

Even with fairly powerful magic, it had been impossible to damage the outer parts of the circle . Since the magic circle wasn’t drawn on the ground, they were forced to hit it with pure power . The reason why Zephyr had tried to dig into the center of the circle was because there was no other way to damage it .

Yet, the outer parts of that magic circle were now destroyed . It was truly a miracle which was possible only because there were two saintesses beloved by their gods .

In-gong and Locke realized it instinctively, and Zephyr also clearly understood . The miracle created by the incarnation of the two gods didn’t end with just creating a crack in the magic circle . The magic circle was collapsing . It was like a domino falling down . The damage to the outside meant the inside would soon be destroyed .

Felicia and Anastasia accelerated the collapse . Due to the fact that it was such a huge magic circle, it would take some time to collapse . However, it was clear that a collapse was imminent .

The undead covering the snowfield stumbled . This was a precursor, and thus In-gong, Locke, and Zephyr moved . Arch Lich Shutenberg was also affected by the magic circle, so this was a chance . The cracks on the magic circle grew bigger . Light scattered and blended with the blizzard, while the rough winds drove the cries of the undead upwards .

Locke felt wonder . Throughout his whole life, he had never met anyone who was his match . In the meantime, he had fought creatures several times with In-gong’s party, but they had been easy fights .

However, their breathing was now in sync, and he could see what the other two people would do next . It was something he had never felt with Carlov and Beatrice .

A smile appeared on Locke’s face . Knowing what the other two would do, he kicked off from the ground . Then he looked around as he inserted energy into the Warrior’s Sword . Locke met another’s gaze . 2nd Prince Zephyr Ragnaros was doing the same thing . He grasped a white sword and was looking in Locke’s direction

Both of them understood; they exchanged words with just their eyes . It was a strange feeling, but they didn’t dislike it .

Locke and Zephyr didn’t look back . They didn’t pay attention to the third person who would play the most important role . It was baseless confidence, but the two of them didn’t doubt it .

The first to attack was Zephyr . He went beyond the wall of the crumbling, leapt in the air, and used Dragon Strike . It was truly an overwhelming sight . A dragon’s head made of magic power and aura roared, and light enveloped the world . This was a wide range attack and the reason why Zephyr had moved first . The undead between In-gong’s group and Shutenberg were swept away . Along with the magic circle collapsing, a large hole was made .

Locke plunged into the light . It was hasty enough to seem like a self-destructive move, but the reality was different . It was the most accurate timing . The moment that the aftermath of Dragon Strike began to fade, Locke was in the center of the destruction . As Zephyr’s light faded, Locke pierced the air .

A huge sword made of light was emitted from the tip of his sword . The mass of divine power and aura rushed toward Shutenberg .

Kwang!

With a violent roar, the Warrior’s Sword was stopped in the air . To be precise, it was embedded in an invisible wall . Cracks formed in the air . The Warrior’s Sword shook, and Locke didn’t hesitate to swing it .

Kwakakakang!

A huge explosion occurred . The reason why it had occurred was simple: Shutenberg’s chain of defense spells had been broken . Locke laughed . He once again felt a strange feeling . It was the first time he was leaving the final move to someone else .

“Go!”

He shouted excitedly . And with that sound, In-gong charged forward, using Wind Style to surpass the speed of the wind . In-gong broke through the crumbling defense and became mist . Then as he arrived in front of Shutenberg, his fist lunged out .

‘True Destruction!’

Earth Quaker howled . The dragon blood flowing in In-gong’s body roared with it .

This True Destruction was the most powerful one that In-gong had used so far . However, Shutenberg was the opponent, and he had already started preparing a powerful magic the moment the magic circle had started to collapse . Rather than defending against In-gong’s destructive power, Shutenberg responded with the same destruction .

In-gong’s fist came into contact with Shutenberg’s sword, not Shutenberg . This was the result of Shutenberg reading the flow of magic power created by Blink . The power of True Destruction encased Shutenberg’s sword, while the magic contained in Shutenberg’s sword sought to destroy True Destruction .

Earth Quaker was enraged at such a challenge . As it cried out angrily, True Destruction started to overwhelm Shutenberg’s attack, and the sword that Shutenberg held was quickly turned into pieces . The power of destruction continued to advance . At the same time, Shutenberg used several magic spells, and magic power poured from his staff toward In-gong .

Pepeng!

In-gong turned into dark blue fog again, while White Eagle and Black Eagle moved in front of In-gong to block the attacks . The power of the green light blocked Shutenberg’s enchantments .

However, Arch Lich Shutenberg didn’t let up . The wicked and aggressive magic hurt not only White Eagle and Black Eagle but Green Wind as well . Green Wind screamed with pain, while In-gong angrily moved more power into Earth Quaker .

However, Shutenberg still didn’t stop generating new magic . The powerful curses seemed to break through the force field .

Locke and Zephyr didn’t look . The two people were attacking the undead which had started to recover . Locke had dozens of small swords made from magic power and aura around him, while new spells formed in Zephyr’s hands .

‘Master!’

Green Wind cried out . However, it wasn’t just a cry from pain . In-gong understood what Green Wind was saying . There wasn’t much left . The undead pushing against them right now were the last flicker of a candle that was about to go out .

Kwaaaaaang!

The undead joined together and formed a giant hand . The giant hand rose high into the sky above In-gong’s, Locke’s, and Zephyr’s heads .

“Shutra!”

Felicia shouted from far away . Caitlin hurled away all the undead which were blocking her eyes .

The Warrior’s Sword created by Locke headed into the sky . Zephyr invoked magic on both his hands, while In-gong released his aura .

Then the giant hand hit the ground . There was a fierce tremor, and a brilliant light flashed . White Eagle and Black Eagle escorted In-gong from the remnants of the giant hand, while Locke and Zephyr escaped the wreckage simultaneously .

It was at this moment that…

The blizzard swirling started to head towards the sky . The crack in the magic circle finally reached the center, and the destruction began . Fragments of magic poured down from the sky . A tremendous amount of magic power was released as the undead collapsed .

In-gong took deep breaths, while Zephyr called out urgently .

“It’s coming!”

In-gong’s group weren’t the only ones who had predicted the collapse of the magic circle . The moment the magic circle collapsed, Shutenberg invoked magic which could only be used once . The magic circle gathered the spirits of the undead . This was how the already broken undead could stand up and fight again .

The souls of the undead no longer had any reason to stay on this land once the magic circle was broken . However, they could do great harm…

And Shutenberg gave these souls a direction . The randomly scattering souls were caught in his magic power and turned into a strong current . Shutenberg’s staff aimed at In-gong’s party . At that moment, the hundreds of thousands of souls in the sky drew a huge trajectory and flew towards In-gong’s party!

Locke thought that last move had been the end . It was the same for Zephyr . Therefore, they didn’t even have time to think about blocking it . However, In-gong was different . He looked straight at the torrent of souls and lifted his right hand . He placed the tattered White Eagle and Black Eagle on his left arm and took a deep breath .

Locke and Zephyr saw In-gong’s intentions and moved towards him . In-gong grabbed the air and summoned a flag of light .

“Below the King’s Flag!”

He roared and struck the flag into the ground . At that moment, the huge torrent of souls swallowed up In-gong’s party .

Kwaaaaaang!

The power of Conquest rose from the flag of light, and In-gong didn’t budge before the torrent of souls . The torrent of souls split apart into two across the flag of light . Green Wind embraced In-gong from behind . Locke smiled at him, while Zephyr gulped .

The flag of the light shook, and In-gong groaned with pain . The white woman shouted,

‘Conquer!’

Kwang!

Then the torrent of souls ended . In-gong had endured until the end . There was nothing else . The souls scattered and no more torrent of magic power appeared in the snowfield .

Shutenberg stared at In-gong . In-gong glared at him, despite having exhausted an enormous amount of aura and magic power . Shutenberg’s skull seemed to smile . Locke and Zephyr swung their weapons at Shutenberg, and his arms were cut off . He then fell to his knees .

In-gong transformed the flag of light into a spear and threw it at Shutenberg’s chest, piercing through the lump of magic power in Shutenberg’s chest . Shutenberg didn’t fight it, and his body gradually started to collapse .

Felicia sat down with relief as she saw it from a distance . After witnessing several miracles, she prayed to the gods several times . Caitlin laughed loudly . As always, In-gong could be depended on .

However, Carack’s eyes then widened, and Anastasia had an ominous feeling . Zephyr and Locke attacked Shutenberg urgently . However, his body had already started to crumble, so there was no point destroying it quicker .

[Your level has risen . ]

[Your level has risen . ]

In-gong understood as he listened to the voice of the woman . The torrent of souls wasn’t Shutenberg’s last move . He was an apostle, a person who had received the power of the Death Knight . His mission was to wipe out everyone who was here . This was his mission for the Death Knight, who had been his master for 1,000 years .

“Freedom . ”

Shutenberg whispered . The last spell was triggered by sacrificing Shutenberg’s soul . The lump of magic power pierced by the spear wriggled . It shone with a blue light and started swelling; it was like looking at the artificial sun In-gong had created . Zephyr recognized it and was astonished as the blue gradually darkened .

This was a black sun…

A magic which could only be described as a disaster . In the past, when Shutenberg had been called the Half King, this destructive magic had erased the allied forces of five kingdoms from this world . The force had been enough to spread over dozens of kilometers . Even if they tried desperately to escape right now, they would not be able to leave the range of the destruction .

However, Arch Lich Shutenberg couldn’t produce the black sun in such a short time . In his days as the Half King, he had invested at least a decade to produce the black sun . The land itself was a trap . Arch Lich Shutenberg had been thinking about self-destruction from the beginning .

It was a destruction worthy of the Death Knight . There was nothing which could stop Shutenberg’s move .

Locke looked around for Beatrice hurriedly, while Zephyr wondered desperately if there was a way to reduce the magic aftermath or defend against it .

Anastasia also recognized the black sun, which was why she was desperate . Felicia knew about the black sun as well . Just like Zephyr, she tried to think of a way to stop it but couldn’t come up with anything .

Time passed by, and the black sun became even bigger . It wasn’t long until the time of its destruction . Then at that moment… just as everyone was thinking it was a disaster…

A single wind pierced through In-gong’s group . In-gong laughed while his clothing was in tatters . It was only shortly after the fall of the winter king . Therefore, his whole body was messed up . Only half his usual aura remained .

However, he had to do something . The sword duke stared at the black sun . He closed his eyes and took a deep breath . The extreme nothingness reached by the demon king…

The sword duke hadn’t reached it . However, he could imagine beyond that . It was possible to almost imitate it once in his life .

“Look carefully, Prince . ”

The sword duke ordered and then wielded his sword . An extreme nothingness spread out in front of In-gong .

&

There was a line above the black sun . It was an attempt to cut the power of destruction .

Those watching from afar were delighted, and Silvan yelled the sword duke’s name . Locke and Zephyr, however, were different because they were closer . Indeed, the sword of the sword duke was truly beautiful . There was no arguing that it reached the extremes of his limit .

However, the fight with the winter king had made his sword blunt, and the sword duke couldn’t destroy the black sun completely . The black sun collapsed . The original destructive power couldn’t emerge, but it could at least wipe out this snowfield .

The sword duke coughed up blood . Zephyr and Locke sought to surround the black sun with their magic power and auras .

Then In-gong saw it . Green Wind whispered to In-gong . The white woman also passed her feelings onto In-gong . He had done this before . The scale and form were different, but the essence was the same .

In-gong reached out towards the black sun . To Locke and Zephyr’s shock, the power of Conquest was revealed . It was like when In-gong conquered the Thunder Light Anvil . The enormous power of the black sun couldn’t be compared to that time, but In-gong’s power of Conquest had also strengthened .

Green Wind once again called to In-gong . She embraced In-gong from behind and conveyed her strength . The white woman smiled at In-gong .

‘Punishment, obedience, governance . ’

This was the power of Conquest .

In-gong roared .

A pure white light enveloped the black sun .

&

The demon king raised his head .

Even those who could read the flow of fate couldn’t foresee the future . However, he understood… The time had finally come .

He had to defend it .

The demon king smiled just as 3rd Queen Sylvia’s face appeared on the telecommunications device . The demon king looked towards the north, then he slowly raised his body from the throne .

His sword cried wildly .
