Chapter 114 - Chapter 18: Auction #6 (2/2)

Paratus squeezed his right hand and killed the orc security officer. Simultaenously, In-gong turned off the mini-map.

“Green Wind!”

White Eagle split into two and flew toward Paratus. While Paratus was surprised by White Eagle and Black Eagle that were emitting a green light, In-gong sprang forwad.

Kwang!

In an instant, In-gong narrowed down his distance toward Paratus and ran past him instead of attacking. Paratus panicked, but White Eagle and Black Eagle acted under Green Wind and blocked Paratus’ view.

In-gong arrived at the place where the auction items were piled up and reached out to the glass box containing the golden helmet. He had felt the anti-theft spell when he entered the auction house, but he ignored it. In-gong instantly conquered the spell and put the item in his inventory.

Paratus ignored White Eagle and Black Eagle and sprang toward In-gong. However, Green Wind blocked Paratus once again. White Eagle and Black Eagle created a green barrier that blocked Paratus’ way.

In-gong didn’t miss the gap created. He reached for the auction items piled up with the golden helmet. It was obvious that all the items would be destroyed when they fought here, and as expected, there were items he knew Nayatra was targeting.

‘Nayatra’s secondary occupation is a thief!’

Although she had been called Zephyr’s knight, Nayatra’s expertise wasn’t fighting but in infiltration and information gathering.

Due to this, In-gong had Nayatra perform more information gathering missions, instead of escort missions in Knight Saga.

Additionally, Nayatra’s ability as a thief shone every time.

He had used her skills in Knight Saga without thinking, but where had Nayatra learnt her thief skills? Was she an assassin and thief before she became a slave?

If had she appeared at the auction to steal one of the items, maybe she had been caught and turned into a slave.

It was just a guess, but everything fit.

Then as if to prove In-gong’s reasoning, he heard a swallowed moan. She was astonished to see the auction items disappearing as soon as In-gong’s hands reached for them.

”You bastard!”

‘Master!’

Paratus and Green Wind exclaimed. Instead of aiming for Paratus, In-gong triggered Night Watch’s Blink and moved to Nayatra. Nayatra turned her head at the blue fog, but In-gong had already grabbed her arm.

‘Master!’

Green Wind shouted again. It seemed like she had reached the limit of stopping Paratus.

“Carack!”

In-gong pulled Nayatra and used Call on Carack. Carack appeared with whirling eyes and In-gong said quickly,

”Take Nayatra and leave here!”

”W-wait a minute!”

Nayatra cried out in a confused voice. Carack grasped the situation immediately and looked up at the ceiling with a surprised expression.

“Heok! Look at that!”

It was a tense and desperate situation, so Nayatra and Paratus reflexively looked up at the ceiling.

Just then, Carack moved. He hit the back of Nayatra’s neck.

“Keok?”

Nayatra leaned forward with a pained moan. It was a situation where he had failed to stun her with a blow, but Carack didn’t care. Nayatra wasn’t knocked out, but she was defenseless. Carack carried her onto his shoulders and started running.

Both In-gong and Paratus were surprised by what happened in front of them, but it was only for a moment.

Today was the first time Paratus had seen Nayatra. Although unfamiliar things were popping up in succession, this was irrelevant to Paratus. The only thing that mattered to Paratus right now was the Dragon King’s Golden Helmet.

In-gong regained his spirit as well. The process was quite violent, but he was able to secure Nayatra. He would chat with her later.

‘Master!’

Green Wind called to In-gong once again. Her call felt somewhat sad. This time, In-gong produced white aura and green magic power simultaneously.

Paratus was in a frenzy because he couldn’t get the golden helmet. Even if In-gong had come to defend Evian, he couldn’t let the golden helmet pass into the hands of the barbarians.

White Eagle and Black Eagle, which had been desperately interfering with Paratus, returned to In-gong’s side. Earth Quaker responded to the dragon style by growling angrily as the scales darkened.

Paratus then triggered an explosive aura of vengefulness. In-gong felt the creepy roar of a lion, but he didn’t turn his gaze. He formed a fist and activated Dragon Blood.

Paratus, the brother of the barbarian king—he was considered a strong warrior even among the barbarians.

In-gong took a deep breath.

Then the battle began.
