Chapter 111 - Chapter 18: Auction #3

‘A success!’

In-gong smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his fist containing the dragon style.

The dragon style had added a new power to In-gong’s aura.

In Knight Saga, there were slight differences in the auras of each species.

A lycanthrope’s aura was characterized by momentary explosive power. The various techniques of Divine Beast Authority were developed towards exploding aura due to the fact that the lycanthropes specialized in this.

Just as the name implied, the dragon style was based on the power of a dragon. Dragons reigned at the apex of all species, so their power was efficient in many areas.

Even if they had the same amount of aura, the dragon’s style was much stronger than other auras. It was also easy to add various attributes to the aura, and it was easy to handle the aura in various ways, such as through emission or focusing it on one spot.

In-gong had conquered a piece of Ainkel’s dragon heart, but he hadn’t been able to use the dragon style until now. Additionally, in the past, In-gong had always the delicate aura unique to gandharvas.

However, after gaining the characteristics of a dragon, his aura had become stronger and more violent than before. It was like riding a wild horse.

Instead of continuing to attack Jiks, In-gong brought his left hand to his chest and used recovery magic.

‘Hurts!’

The pain was truly not a joke. The strike that contained the dragon style was stronger and sharper than had had expected.

However, the pain was also good. In-gong swallowed back the pain and laughed.

On the other hand, Jiks was stunned when he was pushed backwards. 9th Prince was a gandharva and sura, so how could he use the dragon style? Perhaps 9th Prince wasn’t the son of the demon king? Or maybe he was the child of a female draconian, not the 5th Queen.

Jiks stopped thinking about it. He would explore the secrets of 9th Prince’s birth later. He was called mad dog for always going on a rampage, but he had survived to this day due to his excellent fighting instincts.

The blow had increased his distance with 9th Prince. Additionally, 9th Prince didn’t attack immediately.

This was an opportunity for Jiks. He gathered his aura hurriedly while his left hand grabbed something. Then Jiks threw a pouch toward 9th Prince, causing a blast of violet smoke to fill the air.

It was poison. It had been made by collecting various infectious poisons around Evian and was unable to be neutralized with magic due to how terrible it was.

He would buy some time with the poison. After adjusting his breath and gathering aura, he would attack the poisoned 9th Prince.

Jiks used the time to try and pull out an extra sword. He took one step back and refined his breathing, but his plan only went well up to here. This was because there was something happening which he didn’t know about.

[Hundred Poisons Resistance is activated.]

[Hundred Poisons Resistance is activated.]

[As a result of the resistance against the rare poison, Hundred Poisons Resistance has been upgraded to Thousand Poisons Resistance.]

[Poison resistance has increased greatly.]

Fire Arrow and the various recovery spells needed to be used many times to increase their levels.

Hundred Poisons Resistance wasn’t much different.

The other day, Hundred Poisons Resistance had already reached its maximum level. Now, due to the rare poison, it had progressed to the next level.

In-gong breathed freely in the smoke as he headed to Jiks. He rushed over and shouted unknowingly,

“Truly, thank you!”

After the dragon style, it was Thousand Poisons Resistance!

In-gong smiled brightly and activated aura and magic power simultaneously. In-gong’s magic power, which originally possessed the attribute of a dragon, matched well with the dragon style. Compared to before, the synergy effect of the combination between aura and magic power was superior.

Jiks was confused. 9th Prince had smiled after being hit, and he was now thankful for the poison. No matter how Jiks looked at the situation, it clearly wasn't normal.

”Hat!”

Jiks swung his sword. It wasn’t the time to be confused.

Jiks’ blade was fast and sharp. He had wandered in the wilderness after being kicked out of the army, but his skill was real. If they were just discussing pure martial arts skill, he was much better than In-gong.

‘Master!’

Green Wind cried out, and there was a sharp metal sound at that same moment. Black Eagle moved between In-gong and Jiks and blocked the sword. However, the strength of Jiks’ sword was so powerful that Black Eagle’s orbit was altered, and Black Eagle hit the ground instead.

In-gong regained his composure, erasing his smile as he moved toward Jiks.

However, Jiks didn’t panic. Now that it was just a competition of strength, it was difficult to reverse the situation, but a draconian’s superior physical ability made it possible.

Sparks flew as the battle between In-gong and Jiks continued. Neither side was able to gain an advantage. White Eagle and Black Eagle flew back to In-gong’s side, blocking Jiks’ sword, while In-gong exploded with a storm of attacks that contained the dragon style.

Jiks clenched his teeth as he fought In-gong. He also used dragon style to respond to In-gong’s attacks, which In-gong counterattacked in an unexpected place.

However, all of Jiks’ attacks were in vain due to White Eagle and Black Eagle. There seemed to be no end to the frontal confrontation.

‘I have to dig into it.’

He never thought about breaking through In-gong’s defense. He just needed to penetrate the gap between White Eagle and Black Eagle.

All of 9th Prince’s movements were aimed towards attacking as he believed in the two shields. If he could penetrate through the trajectory of the shields, he would be able to get a critical hit.

Jiks started emitting dragon style randomly. It was inefficient, but thanks to that, he was able to delay In-gong’s offensive. Jiks took a big step back and widened his view, which had only been concentrated on In-gong. This was because the easiest way to get In-gong’s attention was to pursue his companions.

Jiks had brought along 40 people. Some subordinates had been lost due to In-gong’s mad rush, but there were still 30 left. Moreover, this wasn’t a small number as each one of them were trained elites.

However, as soon as Jiks expanded his field of view, he was forced to swallow back a pained groan.

8th Princess was literally going crazy. Blood was pouring down her body as she acted far more violently than 9th Prince. His men were being torn apart by the unbelievable power springing from that slender body. 8th Princess couldn’t afford to look after 6th Princess, but it was clear that 6th Princess was also putting up a good fight. Due to the brilliant magic bursting from her, his men couldn’t approach at all.

6th Princess defended while 8th Princess and 9th Prince attacked crazily.

Jiks narrowed his field of view again, focusing only on In-gong.

It was fight or be killed. In that case, he would fight like a mad dog. He should at least use all his strength to bite 9th Prince’s neck.
