Chapter 70 - Chapter 11: Sword Duke (1/2)

Chapter 70 - Chapter 11: Sword Duke

In Knight Saga, the sword duke, Ishgard, was similar to the elder dragons.

He was an incredible strong and great existence, but he only existed in the background. There were no events where the main character had to face him, so he only existed in the background.

However, like the elder dragons, his presence wasn’t something that could be passed over.

He was the master of Mitra, the demon king, and was the final barrier protecting the sura’s sanctuary.

When Zephyr was raised to the throne of the demon king, he didn’t get involved, saying that it was natural for a strong man to become the demon king.

He never showed up when the warrior Locke came to the Demon World to overthrow the demon king.

Sword Duke Ishgard...

Before the demon king, Mitra, ascended the throne, he was called a sword demon or a sword deity.

Knight Saga’s strongest swordsman.

Now that the demon king, Mitra, was suffering from a disease, he was the strongest in the Demon King’s Palace, excluding the five captains.

The sura’s strongest monster that even the demon king had to beg to be taught by:

Sword Duke Ishgard.

As soon as the sword duke picked up his sword, the world changed. Even the air was different. It wasn’t wrong to say that an invisible force covered the entire central plaza.

Felicia stopped breathing and In-gong felt the same sensation as when he had faced the demon king.

It was different from when he realized Chris and Caitlin’s strength. In-gong felt like he was facing a wonder of nature... like a huge, pouring waterfall, lightning or a volcanic eruption.

It was impossible for the current In-gong to tell how strong the person truly was.

The man with the spear also emitted a strong energy, but he no longer dominated the situation like when he had first appeared.

Carack swallowed his saliva while Karma flopped down on the ground unconsciously. At that moment, the man’s spear pierced the ground.

The blue aura exploded and the oppressive energy headed toward the sword duke. It was a heavy stab but the sword duke didn’t move from his place. He just swung his sword.

Felicia didn’t know what happened. There was a huge wave and the ground split apart violently. It was like a giant claw had scratched the ground.

The man with the spear started his second strike. He rotated his sword toward the sword duke, but the sword duke still didn’t move his legs. The second wave shook the central plaza.

And then the third...

The sword duke finally took his first step. At that moment, the man dropped his spear. He leapt through the air toward the sword duke and exploded with a huge burst of blue aura!

It was literally an explosion. The blue energy, that had been condensed down to one point, swelled hundreds of times and a huge roar swept through the central plaza. Felicia shrieked as she watched.

That wasn’t all. It was a real explosion. The terrible power of the blue flames filling their vision could be felt. It was a power that could crush the central plaza as well as the whole fortress.

And at that moment, the explosion was split in two. It was like it had been neatly cut by a sword and was destroyed.

In-gong didn’t know the principles. The party was surprised as the blue energy had split in two and simply vanished.

Carack was stiff as his mouth gaped open while Karma didn’t know what was going on. However, In-gong embraced Felicia.

“Kya?”

Felicia shouted at the sudden motion, but In-gong didn’t stop. He crouched down, pulling Felicia with him and shouted,

“Green Wind!”

White Eagle responded to In-gong’s call. The metal plates opened like wings to protect In-gong and Felicia from a new explosion.

Kwakang!

Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!

Explosions occurred in succession. In-gong looked over the top of White Eagle as he held Felicia and was able to see what had happened.

The shadow puppets were exploding.

There were some who held onto a dungeon guardian as they exploded while others stayed in their spots. Some of them exploded in the vicinity of In-gong, but White Eagle blocked all of those attacks.

”Prince!”

Carack lifted his shield to protect himself and Karma. Instead of responding to Carack, In-gong glanced beyond White Eagle and understood the implications of the explosions.

They hadn’t self-destructed in order to deal a blow to In-gong’s party. It was in order to block all information about them from getting out.

The man with the spear. He was strong. He seemed like he could kill the zombie dragon in one shot.

However, such a powerful person chose to self-destruct. The sword duke had overwhelming strength, but the man who didn’t hesitate to make such a choice was also amazing.

Who was he? Who were the people who sent him?

The simultaneous explosions didn’t last long. Once the mini-map confirmed that all the shadow puppets had been destroyed, In-gong released Felicia and stood up.

“Well done, Greenie.”

In-gong praised White Eagle lightly. As expected, he heard Green Wind’s complaining voice.

‘Master! I am not Greenie. If I am Greenie, then Carack is... Carack?’

This wasn’t it, the frown drawn on Green Wind’s face seemed to say. In-gong laughed and recovered White Eagle before observing the status of the rest of the party.

“Are you okay?”

”I’m ok...ay. I’m just a little surprised.”

Felicia, who was still catching her breath, got up after responding. He turned toward Carack who was pulling up the weak-legged Karma. It seemed like the new shield he just got from the Demon King’s Palace was almost gone.

Lastly, In-gong turned toward the sword duke. The huge explosion from the man with a spear was destroyed by his step and he was now stepping forward, towards them.

Felicia whispered from next to In-gong.

“Sword Duke. He presented you with the dragon leather.”

In-gong nodded at the introduction and calmed his breath. Even though he knew that the sword duke was an ally, his heart was still pounding.

Finally, the sword duke arrived in front of In-gong’s party.

He was tall. There were many wrinkles on his face but strangely, he didn’t seem weak or old. It wasn’t due to the brilliant strength he had shown just a few minutes ago, but because he was dignified and none of the features of an elderly man could be seen.

He gave up on discovering the status of the sword duke. Fending off the explosion hadn’t been simple, but it was impossible to guess how much strength the sword duke had consumed.

He smiled towards In-gong and Felicia and suddenly reached out to Felicia.

”6th Princess!”

Felicia lost her spirit. It was because the sword duke placed his hands beneath her armpits and raised Felicia like she was a child.

“Kyak! Put me down!”

Felicia blushed and yelled, but the sword duke didn’t listen. Rather, he laughed even louder and threw Felicia into the air. He caught her waist and spun her round and round.

“Hahaha! You are so big now! You were just a tiny girl the last time I saw you! You’ve become a beautiful woman!”

“Put me down! Down!”

Felicia whined while laughing and after a few more turns, the sword duke finally placed Felicia on the ground.

”This isn’t something to grumble about.”
