Chapter 123 - Chapter 21: Barbarians #2 (2/2)

Vandal laughed excitedly. Instead of waiting for death like Yakuzan, he moved until the end. He raised his fist once again!

Kwang!

The sound came from Vandal’s chest, not his fist. A red energy exploded at Vandal’s chest, and he fell to the ground. The barbarians ran over to Vandal and stabbed him with more spears.

‘The end.’

Vandal was lucky his heart wasn’t pierced, but he couldn’t go on anymore. With the last of his strength, Vandal squeezed the ankle of a barbarian who had stabbed him, and he stared up at the sky. Yes, there was a clear sky.

‘It’s a good day to die.’

Vandal thought and laughed bitterly. He closed his eyes.

Then a meteor fell from the sky. It was a dark blue meteor. It tore through the sky and exploded to Vandal’s right. A black and a white object revolved around Vandal and pushed all the barbarians away.

Vandal opened his eyes. His ears couldn’t hear properly, but his eyes were still fine. He saw the back of a white-haired man with a blue cloak. Vandal knew that back. Although the appearance was different from what he remembered, Vandal was able to recognize it with one glance.

‘Why?’

Vandal opened his mouth. At the same time, In-gong, the meteor from the sky, raised his right hand which was holding a flag. He stuck it into the ground and shouted,

“Below the King’s Flag!”

Kwaaaaaang!

A pure white light exploded. The light coming from the flagpole soared into the sky and spread in a circle.

King…

It was a king’s back.

In-gong didn’t look back at Vandal. Instead, In-gong looked straight ahead. He could feel the power of War from the red aura. It was the first time he had faced such a power, but he knew what it was instantly.

So, In-gong used Below the King’s Flag. He pushed back the power of War using Conquest, and at the same time, he gave Vandal’s soldiers in the vicinity the ability to conquer War.

‘Conquer.’

The woman with white hair whispered.

She said to him, ‘Conquer the power of War. Obey and rule!’

The War Knight wasn’t here, and the red energy was merely a remnant of that power. So, it was impossible for the power of a Conquest Knight to be stopped.

In-gong raised the flagpole of light from the ground once again, and the red aura covering the barbarians was peeled off by the shockwave of white energy.

“Shutra!”

Caitlin shouted from within In-gong’s arms. Due to the King’s Flag, she was wrapped in a white light.

In-gong released her from his arms, then he glanced at White Eagle and Black Eagle which were pushing the barbarians around. The barbarians were strewn all over the place, and In-gong and Caitlin had jumped alone into the middle of the battlefield.

At dawn on the day they heard about Vandal, In-gong had moved the troops of the fifth base to the south. He had predicted Vandal’s movement route and moved southwest diagonally, while Green Wind had searched from the sky. Instead of using Below the King’s Flag, he had concentrated on the mini-map and searched for Vandal.

By the time In-gong found him, Vandal had already been engaging in combat. In-gong had left Alita to lead the rest of the troops and held Caitlin in his arms. He had then moved ahead on White Eagle.

In-gong had been able to see more of the situation as he moved closer. Vandal had been in the middle of thousands of enemies.

However, In-gong hadn’t hesitated. Rather than being afraid, Caitlin had activated the quad-core and amplified their aura as well. Then they descended. He had used Night Watch’s ability to fly and arranged White Eagle and Black Eagle.

And now…

In-gong made a quick judgment and pushed the power of War back with Conquest. He infused Earth Quaker with power, which started to emit angry cries, and activated Conquest again.

“Karma!”

Karma appeared behind In-gong after he used Call. She was surprised to find barbarians strewn around but soon understood why she was called. Before In-gong could call her name, she pulled the broken spears out of Vandal and started to cast special druid recovery spells.

‘Master!’

Green Wind called out to In-gong and used Protection of the Wind. The green wind wound around In-gong and Caitlin, while White Eagle and Black Eagle continued spinning around him.

“9th Prince.”

In-gong turned back at the quiet voice. The completely bloody Vandal was making an excited smile. Despite the fact that he was dying, he raised his hand slowly, extending only one finger.

There was no time. Conquest had pushed War back, but White Eagle and Black Eagle couldn’t block all the barbarians forever.

However, In-gong still approached Vandal. He grabbed the finger lightly like they were shaking hands.

That’s how things were.

The white light of Below the King’s Flag spread to Vandal, who nodded toward In-gong. In-gong let go of the finger and turned to Caitlin.

“Please look after Vandal and Karma.”

“Leave it to me, and be careful.”

“Noona as well.’

The two exchanged a small smile and shared their aura through the quad-core. Caitlin stood beside Vandal with her white and blue aura, while In-gong called White Eagle and Black Eagle to him. A single white shield was placed on In-gong’s left arm.

The result caused a gap. The barbarians noticed this and shouted with glee. They rushed toward In-gong from all sides.

‘Master.’

Green Wind said. Caitlin’s aura was transformed into the dragon style in In-gong’s body.

‘Dragon Blood.’

Dragon style was then invoked…

And all that power was devoured by one thing—

“Black Specter.”

In-gong chanted amidst the barbarians’ roars.

With Violent Kaltein’s equipment, he triggered Night Watch’s super special move.
