Chapter 90 - Chapter 14: The Last Flame #5

A battle with magicians was largely divided into three cases.

The first was an unexpected battle with a magician - in other words, a battle where the magician wasn’t prepared.

The second was a battle with a prepared magician.

The third was a battle with a magician who waited for the enemy within their magical boundaries.

The reason for separating it into three cases was that the difference in the amount of combat power the magician could use was enormous. It was just like how warriors were stronger when they prepared before fighting on their home ground.

Magicians who understood this principle and applied it to the world were much greater than those who did not. Moreover, the higher the magician’s level was, the greater the gap would be. In severe cases, there were times when the attack power differed by dozens of times.

Felicia was a competent magician and she had half a day to prepare. Furthermore, this was a limited area, so it was probably the best battlefield she had ever experienced with In-gong.

However, it wasn’t one strong opponent; there were numerous mobs.

Felicia had picked up a magic wand from Amita that could sense magic. As the night started, the power of the spirits were strengthened and illusions surrounded her. However, she had prepared her magic well.

She noticed the world through the magic spells as well as her five senses and opened her eyes, showing her great magical powers to the world!

Kwakwakwang!

Thunder and lightning struck down loudly. The crazy bear at the front was struck by the lightning, burning the bear’s brain in an instant. As the lightning reached toward its next goal, it grew exponentially and fell from the sky, striking nearly 30 beasts and monsters.

Once the monsters in the lead fell down, the others naturally rushed over them. They ran over the corpses of the monsters, but Felicia didn’t allow them to approach either. Following the lightning bolts, gigantic flames stretched out towards the monsters.

The fire didn’t burn the forest easily. Furthermore, the flames were controlled by wind spirits. Instead, the wrath of the flames swept through the monsters and despite being out of their minds, they had a terrible feeling.

However, as Amita had warned, there was an overwhelming number of monsters. Despite the fact that dozens had died in an instant, the seemingly endless procession of red dots on the mini-map never ceased.

The monsters trampled on the corpses and passed through the flames. Additionally, there were those who trampled through the forest and used illusions to create new paths.

However, Felicia didn’t panic. She still had a few magic spells prepared.

Due to the ground being spread widely with Grease, it had become more slippery. The momentum of the monsters was great, so many of them tumbled down. As they fell to the ground in rapid succession, some of them fell on their heads and broke their necks. There were also monsters who were trampled by those behind them.

Moreover, there were additional traps in the earth. Then once again, lightning bolts swept through the monsters.

A few minutes after the battle had begun, more than 100 monsters were screaming in front of the party.

Carack was wide-eyed and could barely suppress his urge to look back, while Seira’s mouth was wide open and Delia had a warm smile on her face.

The 6th Princess, Felicia Doomblade...

She was also a child of the demon king and a strong existence!

Kwakakakakang!

A series of rapid explosions occurred in front of them. They were the result of the last magic trap Felicia had prepared.

”Next!”

Felicia shouted and In-gong and Caitlin formed fists. They rushed towards the approaching monsters.

The massive trail of bodies Felicia had created was now part of the terrain, hindering the monsters’ path and limiting their attack route.

In-gong and Caitlin were blocking their way as well. There was no longer in physical contact with each other, but they still had a connection. The white aura and blue aura stretched out in a thin line like they were holding hands.

In-gong breathed in deeply, then focused his attention on a wolf-like monster running at the front of the mob.

Protagonist Body.

The growing rate of all skills he had learnt was accelerated. In-gong was growing during the battle, just as he had grown in every battle he had fought so far.

Up to now, his movements had been the same. Then he gained some new knowledge. He hadn’t known his body had been moving that way until it actually happened.

He didn’t explode his aura; he simply manipulated it.

It wasn’t the same as before. The explosive power of his aura had actually become stronger.

That’s how it was. This was the technique used and it had been created with a simple principle.

[The level of Explosive Power has risen.]

[The level of Lightning has risen.]

[The level of Great Mountain has risen.]

His skill proficiency increased suddenly due to the increase of his technical understanding. This was because gaining enlightenment had the same value as training dozens of times.

In-gong felt pleased, but it wasn’t the kind of joy that came from destroying an enemy.

It was due to experiencing growth. He was polishing off his techniques. This was the joy of strengthening himself.

In-gong could feel Caitlin’s emotions and that she was also pleased. The two of them shared this joy as their auras moved. Then while moving around, they defended each other’s backs.

It was like a swirl — a style that caught and crushed everything.

As In-gong remembered his clumsy posture when Carack first made him hold a sword, he laughed. Seira, who knew Caitlin’s usual disposition, also had wide eyes from joy and confusion.

Both of In-gong and Caitlin had strengthened noticeably and their team work was comparable to Caitlin’s team work with Chris, who she had been moving together with for a long time. No, maybe it was even more than that.

“Kuraha!”

Carack let out a battle cry suddenly. Seira then looked at him and he laughed as he lifted the axe he had received from Amita. It was a fearsome magic weapon that unleashed a thunderbolt every time he wielded it.

Seira understood what Carack meant; it wasn’t the time to stand there with admiration. She felt humiliated by losing sight of her role as an aide, but she also liked Carack’s trustworthiness. Then in an instant, the blond beauty turned into a fearsome leopard.

Carack, Seira, In-gong and Caitlin went on to deal with the monsters. The process leading from here was difficult and it seemed like the number of monsters weren’t decreasing.

As Daphne used recovery magic and support magic on those fighting, she turned to Amita. Instead of laughing or being filled with admiration, Amita was staring at In-gong and Caitlin with serious eyes. They then whispered in a low voice,

”I want to make it.”

Daphne’s eyes widened while Amita continued to speak,

”I also need to tune it. It isn’t completely suitable for him.”

The equipment from the elder dragons certainly had great performance, but there was a lot of room for improvement as it didn’t fit In-gong completely.

“Amita?”

Daphne called out to Amita with a large grin as she understood the intentions in their small voice.

Amita looked up at the laughing Daphne. They hit the ground with their tail and burst out,
