Chapter 155 – Chapter 29: War Destruction #6
The wyverns, who had lost two allies to In-gong’s Dragon Breath, ran away. In fact, the big surprise was the Dragon Breath itself, rather than the wyverns dying.
Although it was the Dragon Breath from the most powerful dragon, its daily usage was still the same. In-gong was really glad the wyverns had escaped quickly before he only had one breath left.
The wyverns were driven out from the forest, and the animals no longer watched the party. Galang and the other Gullam hunters took care of the wyvern corpses hurriedly and focused on clearing the rear.
As the giants started to move, In-gong’s group moved close together. Felicia looked at In-gong with a bemused expression and said,
“Shutra is amazing. No, you are strange—a scam.”
“Oh, this time there are some similarities, Princess.”
Felicia ignored what Carack said and just looked at In-gong. In-gong grinned at the party before sending Felicia a wink. She understood the meaning of his gesture and called upon a wind spirit to make a curtain which would block out any sound.
“Shutra, what is going on? That… it was Dragon Breath, right?”
It was a situation where the sound was blocked out, but Felicia lowered her voice like she was afraid someone was listening. In-gong nodded.
“Perhaps.”
“Wah! Does this mean that Prince will grow wings, a tail and horns?”
Carack asked with an excited face. Clearly, he was really excited about this. However, In-gong shook his head.
“Like I said before, it isn’t like that. Well, it might be possible if I learn polymorph magic.”
“Ohhh.”
Of course, using polymorph magic would make it a literal transformation, but he would still grow wings and a tail like Carack said.
“But the breath—was it due to the dragon heart?”
Felicia was still confused. In-gong raised his hand to the middle of his chest, where the dragon heart was, and replied,
“Yes, the Dragon Breath is more like the dragon heart’s essence, rather than a magic spell. A primal act? Anyway, it was something like that.”
Dragon Breath wasn’t like a skill or magic; it was a right that a dragon enjoyed. Therefore, the Dragon Breath was closer to the essence of a dragon, than a magic spell. It was something which would awaken instinctively, such as how a bird could fly or a fish could swim.
Felicia looked confused again at the explanation and glanced at In-gong’s chest.
“Shutra, are you already closer to a dragon than a gandharva?”
Not only could he operate a dragon heart, but he could also shoot out Dragon Breath. If he could use magic spells, then he really would be a human type dragon.
“Well, I clearly saw a characteristic of the gandharva.”
Carack said after recalling something. Felicia made a confused sound and asked,
“Characteristic of the gandharva?”
“Yes, a characteristic of the gandharva.”
Felicia turned back to In-gong and narrowed her eyes.
“Uh… Shutra is very handsome.”
“Noona is also pretty.”
In-gong responded a little shamelessly to the sudden compliment of his appearance. It was true that Felicia was pretty. However, Carack said with a frown,
“This isn’t the time to be gloating.”
In-gong shrugged while Felicia opened up her fan hurriedly. Delia, who had been watching quietly, said softly,
“Carack, beauty is a characteristic of both species. The gandharva and elves are both known as species with beautiful appearances.”
Of course, the standards would vary from species to species, but even so, there were some mainstream standards. Carack thought for a moment before nodding.
“Well, indeed. Delia is also really pretty.”
“Oh, my.”
Delia turned red at Carack’s praise, while Karma frowned with vexation.
However, Carack didn’t go any deeper. He watched Felicia and asked,
“Princess, what characteristics do the gandharva have other than appearance?”
“Uh, let’s see? As far as I know… they have a good scent and are good at dancing and singing? There was a beautiful gandharva dancer, who was part of the Eight Legions, who went around performing to each species. Oh, they are also excellent at feeling the flow. They can sense everything that has a flow, whether it is the wind or aura.”
These were pretty much all the species characteristics she knew. Carack thought for a moment before nodding.
“Well, the liquid that comes from Prince’s body is delicious. It is really unbelievably sweet and delicious.”
“What? A delicious taste?”
Felicia turned to In-gong hastily, seeming to be yelling in his face.
In-gong replied hurriedly,
“I once tried drinking my blood. If I melt the magic power in the blood, it turns into a very sweet taste.”
“Blood?”
“Not just blood… other body fluids are possible.”
He had also experimented with his saliva and sweat.
“Does Noona want to try?”
In-gong asked, and Felicia quickly waved both hands.
“Uh, no. It’s okay. It is still blood.”
“You will regret it later. It is really delicious. Don’t ask after this. My blood is precious.”
In-gong answered with nonsense and pulled back his arm again. Carack laughed and asked Felicia another question.
“Then Princess, you mentioned something about the Eight Legions? What is the Eight Legions?”
“Uh, I don’t know? Carack?”
“I also don’t know.”
“Weird.”
Felicia smiled and glanced at Delia. It was a glance for help, so Delia opened her mouth immediately.
“The Eight Legions is a group of eight species that migrated here from a distance place. There is a story that they came from a place called the Celestial World, but it is just a legend, so it isn’t accurate.”
The Eight Legions had appeared suddenly one day, but there was no evidence of where they really came from. It was thousands of years ago, so there was no one remaining who could testify about that time. The only clues were the records about the Eight Legions, but most of the records had been destroyed during the Era of Struggle. Now, it was just a legend.
“The species that belong to the Eight Legions are the gandharva, yaksha, sura, deva, karura, dragon, kinnara and mahoraga. Carack, you should have seen the yaksha and sura a few times.”
The demon king was a sura.
Carack nodded at Felicia’s words.
