Chapter 91 - Chapter 14: The Last Flame #6
Simultaneously, many ideas popped into In-gong’s head.
‘How does a ship fly in the sky?’
‘Why did Silvan suddenly appear?’
‘Why did Silvan choose to ram into the giant out of the many means of attack?’
However, the answers also popped into his head.
To dark elves, the sailboat in the sky was a flying ship. In Knight Saga, Silvan, who claimed to be a captain of the skies, was always riding in it.
However, seeing it in a game was completely different from seeing it in reality. Unlike an airplane, the ship was essentially floating on a sky ocean. In-gong was already familiar with the concept of airplanes, so it was a destruction of his common sense.
He couldn’t be sure of the reason why Silvan had appeared.
They didn’t always move together like Chris and Caitlin did, but Silvan and Felicia were very strong together. Moreover, the dark elves’ values regarding family were famous among the demons. In-gong wasn’t sure, but he could only assume that Silvan had come to find Felicia.
Finally, the attack had been a desperate charge.
In-gong couldn’t think of any answers. The scene that followed immediately afterwards made his mind go blank.
The giant’s upper body exploded. To be precise, it shattered around the area that had been hit.
However, In-gong couldn’t cheer as Silvan’s flying ship hadn’t penetrated through the giant’s upper body. The giant’s upper chest had exploded before the ship even touched it.
The giant evaded the attack by splitting up.
The flying ship passed through the giant completely and the flying ship drifted in the air as the fragments of the giant united once more. Felicia’s scream pierced his ears,
“Silvan!”
The giant’s arm struck the rear of the flying ship. The giant hadn’t regained its proper form yet, so the attack was unreliable. However, it was still a strike from a giant. The flying ship lost balance completely and headed down towards the ground.
It reminded In-gong of the crash landings he had seen in movies. The flying ship hit the ground with a violent impact. It then pushed across the ground, cutting down dozens of trees in its path.
Amidst the deafening roar and shaking of the earth, Felicia shouted again while In-gong looked hurriedly at the sky. The white giant was preparing for a fourth bombardment.
In-gong sensed it intuitively.
This was the final blow.
Kwang!
The blue pillar of light struck the ward. Already cracked, the ward could no longer endure the attack. There was the sound of glass cracking and the blue light scattered over the sky and ground.
The ward was now broken. The coolness of the night air covered their bodies and the white giant stared down at the ground.
Kwang!
Once again, there was a roar and the white giant exploded. It wasn’t an attack. Rather, the white giant had reached the limit to maintain its present form.
The white giant split into approximately 20 pieces and landed on the ground. Like white clay lumps, they formed their respective shapes and started to emit a white light.
Whether large or small, they were all different. Not only was the amount of light they emitted different, their strengths and weaknesses were different as well.
”Guardians.”
In-gong said automatically. Every piece was a guardian. As Amita had said, they were guardians that had gone crazy.
The one in the middle had a prominent presence.
Among all the white lights, it alone was emitting a blue light. Unlike the other guardians who took the form of animals, this one was a humanoid with the power of Death.
It was a guardian that was probably controlling the purple-aura monsters around them.
The guardian raised a hand and the proportions of the forest changed. Under the green moon, the illusion surrounding the entire Spider Forest was lifted.
The forest returned to its original size and the nasty magic that paralyzed directional senses also disappeared.
The reason was simple. Now that the goal was right in front of him, the guardian needed to focus all his power on it. Instead of creating obstacles to prevent escape, he concentrated on attacking.
A purple light rose behind the white guardians and approached from one side.
Throughout yesterday and today, none of the crazed beasts and monsters had been shining purple.
It was something that had been saved...
For this very moment.
In-gong swallowed his saliva. Amita’s face was stunned from the impact of the ward breaking. Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned toward In-gong and he took out his dwarf dagger without delay.
“Below the King’s Flag!”
The moment that In-gong shouted, a pure white light emerged behind him. The flag of a king fluttered in the night sky and the blessing of white light surrounded those around him.
Below the King’s Flag wasn’t simply a buff magic that strengthened combat power; it also influenced the mind. It sparked loyalty toward In-gong and, more importantly, helped maintain the coolness and calmness that were important elements in battle.
Amita finally recovered their spirit. Felicia, who had lost her mind for a moment due to worrying about Silvan, also stared at the front.
Caitlin formed a fist. There were also changes among the enemies.
The white guardians had started to unite again. This time, they didn’t change drastically. It was like they were compressed one by one.
The purple aura filled the vacant spots of the white guardians and after a few seconds, the 20 guardians were reduced to two. One still exuded the blue power of Death while the other turned grey as a result of the compression.
“Fe-li-ci-a!”
Then a voice was heard from a distance. There was no need to ask who the voice belonged to as it was clearly Silvan.
“Silvan!”
Felicia called out. The grey guardian ran in the direction of Silvan’s voice while the monsters with the purple aura rushed towards In-gong’s party.
Then Felicia stepped back and chanted a spell. Daphne took Amita into her embrace and ran toward the center of the forest, followed by Seira, Carack and Delia, in order to guard the last flame.
Instead of following them, Caitlin produced a blue aura and In-gong activated his white aura as well. The two of them looked at each other without speaking.
A roar shook in their ears. It seemed like the battle between the grey guardian and Silvan had begun. The dark elf sailors ran over and clashed with the monsters with the purple aura.
Then the blue guardian took a step forward.
Despite the battles taking place everywhere, the area In-gong and Caitlin were in seemed silent.
