Chapter 96 - Chapter 15: Sign #2 (2/2)
Felicia muttered as though she represented the hearts of all the crew members.

The Black Flame Dragon, the flagship of Silvan Doomblade, was one of the dark elves’ sacred ships.
Its original name was Black Ark.
The dark elf society was centered on females, so a woman was to take over the family. In the Doomblade family, the best daughter inherited the clan while the best son was given the Black Ark. This had been going on for generations.
The son of a son wasn’t a member of the Doomblade family; this meant the family line was followed through the mother’s line. So, the Black Ark was to return to the Doomblade family again.
Silvan had inherited the Black Ark from Lionel Doomblade, the older brother of 3rd Queen Sylvia Doomblade.
In other words, it had been less than a year since Silvan had inherited the flying ship.
Just like with a novice driver, there were some problems during the flight but it was safe on the Black Flame Dragon. A trip that would have originally taken a few days took only a few hours.
In-gong tied his waist with a safety strap and went to the railing. The altitude was at approximately 200 meters, so it was windy, but there were no problems looking out.
Sun Lake...
It was a place that In-gong had visited quite a few times in Knight Saga.
The metal monsters Amita wanted them to catch were called caltos. They had natural waterproofing, so they could survive in the water despite their metal bodies.
Equipment made from the caltos’ metal was automatically waterproof, so it was indeed usable as a material if handled properly.
‘I caught a lot in Knight Saga.’
Thanks to that, he remembered their weaknesses clearly. They were moderately strong, but In-gong was confident that he could deal with a few of them on his own.
‘Divine power.’
It was one of the four powers that existed in Knight Saga: Aura; psychic power; magic power; and divine power.
At the same time, it was also the weakness of the caltos.
Thanks to the alliance with the last flame, In-gong had gained divine power.
'Magic power and divine power are hard to use together.’
They didn’t mix well.
Just like there were several gods in the Human World, the Demon World had several varieties of demonic gods.
Flora, who managed In-gong’s mansion at the Demon King’s Palace, was a devout follower of Camilla who was the goddess of dreams and shadows.
Nevertheless, the reason why Zephyr didn’t use divine power was because it caused a dissonance with his magic power.
‘But I’m different.’
In-gong glanced at the divine power in his right hand with interest. There was a gentle green light that reminded him of the last flame.
In-gong added magic power to it. Just like aura, the white magic power started to mix with the green light.
Protagonist Body.
It created a harmony between Enkidu and Ainkel’s powers, which were exact opposites.
What synergy effect would be caused if divine power and magic power were harmonized? If he mixed aura and magic power, there would be three combinations of aura, magic power and divine power.
In-gong breathed deeply and turned his attention to somewhere else. A gigantic, golden lake glowed beneath the red and yellow sky.
It glowed gold during both day and night, so it was called Sun Lake.
The metal monsters were the only ones that they would meet at the lake.
However, there was a monster called the gatekeeper of Sun Lake. It was a type of boss monster.
‘It is about time for it to show up.’
As the lake glowed under the twilight sky, a head poked out of the lake.
Today was In-gong’s day. He had always denied it, but today was different.
Would the attempt work?
“Sea serpent? In the lake?”
The crew member at the front gasped with astonishment while In-gong formed fists.
The emergency bell rang in In-gong’s ears as all the crew rushed to the deck in a combat stance.
”Sea serpent?”
Silvan stared at the lake with a serious expression. The sea serpent was staring at the Black Flame Dragon like it was nervous.
A sea serpent...
It was a sea dragon that lived in the sea.
The length of the sea serpent was dozens of meters long and it was known as a powerful monster.
The sea serpent was the guardian protecting the entrance to Sun Lake. It was a very strong monster and tricky for humans to deal with since its home ground was the lake.
However, today was different.
”Incarnation of Fire.”
He used a skill given by the last flame.
At that moment, green flames appeared on the Dragon Scale Greaves. In-gong then equipped Earth Quaker and White Eagle and loosened the safety strap around his waist.
“Shutra?”
Silvan stared at In-gong while Felicia covered her face with a fan. Instead of being astonished like Silvan, she simply looked at In-gong with a relaxed expression.
”Are you going?”
”I’m going. We need to investigate under the lake.”
In-gong replied with a laugh while Silvan still seemed like he didn’t know what was going on. Carack was grinning widely as In-gong stretched out his hand into the air.
”Ascalon.”
A masterpiece of the Dragon Slayer series.
It was the enemy of dragons and the weapon that had taken down the Black Dragon Partizan in Thunderdoom Fortress.
Earth Quaker and Ascalon were now combined. In-gong held the white lance and looked at Caitlin.
“Noona, sorry.”
Caitlin tilted her head at his words and In-gong really felt apologetic.
He didn’t want to do it, but it was the easiest way to finish things in one shot. He had to mobilize everything he could.
Dragon Blood...
The power of a dragon humanoid.
Earth Quaker roared and In-gong’s aura burst out like it had exploded. At the same time, Ascalon reacted to the dragon power and started to affect In-gong.
He had barely endured it in Thunderdoom Fortress, but this time was different.
He had the Moonlight Core and Starlight Core.
In-gong squeezed out Caitlin’s aura like he had done during the battle against the guardian. The power heading toward In-gong was cut off with the augmented aura.
Caitlin was startled by the sudden loss of aura, but it was only for a brief moment. Her lips twisted and she said quietly,
“Shutra is too much.”
Why did her voice sound so cute when it was filled with resentment? Moreover, Caitlin was smiling as she said it.
In-gong concentrated the white and blue aura on Ascalon. The power of a dragon humanoid and the green divine flames came together as well.
In-gong turned away from Silvan, who was still staring blankly, and climbed onto the railing.
“I will be going.”
”Go safely.”
The moment that Carack answered, In-gong jumped down. He charged the lance while falling toward the sea serpent.
