Chapter 42 - Chapter 6: Encounter #4 (2/2)
'Genuine sincerity.'
It was the type of sincerity that had made her attempt to break the cliff.
Chris laughed like he thought Caitlin was cute and said to In-gong,
”Shutra, tell Felicia noonim the news.
“Huh? Felicia noona?”
”If you just go, she will surely have a grudge. Additionally, you have something to receive from Noonim.”
”Something to receive?”
”You will know soon.”
In-gong wouldn’t have time while being taught, so he sent Flora to Felicia’s home.
”Okay, then Caitlin, let’s begin. I will help you today, so expect a lot.”
Chris’ muscles flexed. Caitlin’s face was also full of motivation.
Thanks to the ambitious lycanthrope siblings, one day passed in a flash.

Felicia appeared the next morning after the news was conveyed. It wasn’t at In-gong’ home, but in front of the transfer formation.
”I’m not late.”
”Not late? I have been waiting.”
Felicia glared at Chris after his mocking words. This was really friendly in comparison to when they had first met at the Red Lightning tribe.
Five people were standing in front of the transfer formation. They were Chris, Caitlin, Seira, In-gong and Carack.
Felicia approached In-gong.
“Shutra, the dark elves are an honourable species. A favour or grudge is never easily forgotten.”
Felicia was late for a reason. She had things to prepare.
”I heard that you are going to Enger Plains. You’ll need quick feet to go with the centaurs. Ride these special guys.”
Felicia gestured to the two big dracos in front of her. They were very well reigned and behaved in front of In-gong and Carack.
“And this.”
Felicia pulled out a necklace and handed it to In-gong. The necklace was the real reason why Felicia was late.
It was a crescent-shaped, silver ornament with a purple gem.
In-gong knew what this necklace was. So, he couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
“Felicia noona?”
The tears of a dark elf from 6th Princess Felicia Doomblade, daughter of 3rd Queen Sylvia Doomblade and princess of the dark elves.
”You said that you won’t easily forget?”
Felicia winked playfully and embraced In-gong lightly.
”Take care of your body.”
Felicia patted his back a few times before stepping back. Her ears and cheeks were red like she was shy about her actions.
Caitlin also hugged In-gong lightly.
”Be careful.”
As always, it was a bright smile. In-gong nodded then Chris said from the rear.
”Well, shall I just let you go?”
”Hyung should hold out your hand.”
In response to In-gong’ reply, Chris laughed and stroked his head.
”Come back safely.”
”Yes, Chris hyung should also be healthy.”
In-gong said goodbye to everyone. Carack also said goodbye to Seira and entered with In-gong.
In-gong looked at Caitlin one more time before entering the transfer formation.

The Assenba Continent, which was connected continuously from the north to the south, was divided into two parts.
They were travelling from the north to the south.
The boundary across the continent was unclear and ambiguous. There were places where the Demon World and Human World were directly connected like the Jishuka Mountains. There were also places with a zone in the middle.
There was a huge lake on the continent called Caldea,
A desert that led to the deaths of everything alive that entered it,
A deep wall of unfathomable depths,
And one more.
It was something that hadn’t stopped once since the world opened.
It was a being who refused to lie down and take a break. Red and yellow lava spewed out and covered his body but he wasn’t in any pain. Rather, he felt comfortable in the burning lava.
He had been born in lava. No flame in this world could hurt him.
The great Enkidu.
One of the six elder dragons that was said to have the power of a god.
He had received a shock as a guest had come to visit him for the first time in hundreds of years.
He was small.
Compared to Enkidu who was the size of a mountain, he was a mere speck.
However, Enkidu showed interest instead of ignoring him. He looked down at the body wrapped in black and red armour.
Conquest, war, famine and death.
The four prophesied knights of the Apocalypse.
Enkidu knew who was in front of him. Not long ago, he had felt the distinct aura of conquest coming from the Jishuka Mountains.
It was a flame;
A flame that constantly swallowed up everything.
Enkidu called his name,
”Start, War Knight.”
It was a person who lived in eternal struggle.
The War Knight opened his mouth.
