Chapter 10 - Chapter 2: Alliance
There were many species in the Demon World.
There were the draconians who inherited the essence of the great dragon species, the succubi and incubi, the vampires who lusted after blood and souls, the sura who could be called the strongest combat species and the fallen fairies that were called dark elves.
There would be no end if they were listed one by one.
Even though there were as many species as grains of sand, some of them had specifically demonstrated their strength.
The lycanthropes were a tough species. They were born with strong vitality and showed remarkable ability to resist time. Additionally, those with the blood of the wild were ruthless, persistent and excellent hunters.
The lycanthropes were breathing harshly.
Their appearances varied and they could pass off as wolves, tigers, and so on.
They weren’t breathing hard because they were exhausted. It was to control the wild blood that had awakened.
The smell of the Red Lightning tribe’s blood stimulated the lycanthropes. Some lost control and bit the bodies of the orcs.
Among the lycanthropes, there was one who was different.
It was a female with dark blue hair tied up and bloodied black leather armour.
Caitlin Moonlight.
The eighth princess and lycanthrope was controlling her breathing with closed eyes.
As a half lycanthrope and half sura, she was unlike the other lycanthropes. However, none of the lycanthropes dared to ignore her.
After breathing for a long time, Caitlin finally opened her eyes. She sniffed as she looked around and frowned.
'I missed him.’
She succeeded in smashing Kaichin’s army but she missed killing Kaichin and Kaidum.
'It can't be helped.’
It was a melee and they were cowards who didn’t fight properly.
'Yes, it can’t be helped.’
She tried to convince herself but it didn’t work. In the end, Caitlin kicked furiously at the ground.
”Princess.”
Caitlin turned around as someone called out to her.
”Seira.”
Caitlin’s direct subordinate, the lycanthrope Seira, bowed. As a leopard lycanthrope, her golden hair was dyed red with the blood of enemies. Regardless, she was a stable subordinate.
”Are you hurt anywhere?”
Caitlin asked with a gentle smile.
”I’m fine, thank you for worrying. I have an urgent matter to report.”
“Huh? Report?”
The battle was already over, so Caitlin didn’t know what needed to be reported. Seira took one step closer to Caitlin.
”Kaichin is dead. Kaidum, who was with him, also died.”
It was good news but Caitlin used raised an eyebrow instead of feeling jubilant.
“Who caught him?”
They had run away just after the battle started. Were there soldiers tracking them after they left the battlefield?
In response to Caitlin’s question, Seira coughed with an uncomfortable expression and replied,
“Prince Shutra.”
“Huh?”
Caitlin let out a sound reflexively. Shutra’s name had suddenly come out.
Seira understood Caitlin’s heart, so she continued with an awkward smile.
”Prince Shutra caught Kaichin and Kaidum. He personally took down Kaidum.”
Caitlin just stared blankly instead of replying. Seira understood her master’s confusion.
'I thought the same.’
However, it was true.
The Ninth Prince Shutra Ignus.
The weakest prince had caught Kaichin and Kaidum and he achieved the best merits in today’s battle.
&
He received rewards for catching the enemy.
He had gained three levels and learnt the new skill, Telekinesis.
It was obviously a good thing. However, In-gong couldn’t be comforted easily.
'What is it?’
That white woman he saw during the battle.
She wore white clothes and had a golden crown on her head. One of her eyes was red and the other blue. The woman had been unrealistically beautiful.
‘No, rather than being beautiful...she felt different?’
Anyway, it was clear that she wasn’t an ordinary person.
But who was she? She was someone who hadn’t appear in Knight Saga.
‘Is she an important person who normally appears in moments of crisis?’
Maybe she was the one who had brought In-gong into this world.
'Punishment, obedience, governance.’
The words he’d heard from the woman surfaced in his head again.
In-gong activated both the status window and skills window. Both of them surfaced in front of him.
[Secondary Occupation: Conquest Knight Lv1]
[Conquer Lv1]
[Below the King’s Flag Lv1)
The deactivated skill Conquest became Lv1 but like Protagonist Correction, he wasn’t able to raise the level with skill points.
‘Conquest. Conquest Knight.’
It was a skill and occupation that hadn’t existed in Knight Saga.
'Below the King’s Flag is a buff skill... The power of conquest is the power of a king? Is that why the white woman is wearing a crown?’
