Chapter 160 - Chapter 31: Overwhelming (2/2)

In-gong glared at it. Instead of using Blink, he combined White Eagle and Black Eagle before him. Following Night Watch’s super special move, Black Specter, he used White Eagle’s super special move this time.

‘Absolute Area!’

The moment the red pillar hit White Eagle, the sky turned red. The pillar split into hundreds and thousands of pieces, alternating their direction toward the sky and the ground.

Then someone screamed. This was just the beginning.

Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!

A heavy rain of light poured down from the sky. Confusion and terror spread every time a ray of light hit the ground.

Actius panicked and so did the horn drake, who shot out the breath. However, In-gong didn’t wait for either of them. The dark fog exploded once again under the torrent of light. Blink—In-gong used Blink three times in succession to break through the zone of heavy firepower. He then drew back his right fist as he moved forward.

His target wasn’t Actius. In-gong focused all the power of his quad-core on one point. Then he used one attack. Following Night Watch and White Eagle, it was Earth Quaker’s super special move!

‘True Destruction!’

In-gong struck the neck and chest of the horn drake. The power of destruction sprang out and crushed the horn drake’s body.

Kwaaaaaang!

It was like thunder had struck the ground. The power of destruction, which combined both aura and magic power, seemed to break both the sky and the earth. The horn drake didn’t scream. Its head simply fell to the ground, and once the huge body collapsed, it caused the earth to shake.

Dust and dirt rose up. Surprised by the sound of thunder near him, Actius gasped. He couldn’t comprehend the situation and was paralyzed by what happened. It seemed like a terrible nightmare. The other barbarians were the same. It was pointless to see how many had died and how many were left. The only thing that remained in their heads was the power of the destruction.

There was a calm in the storm. Once again, the black fog exploded in the midst of the tension, anxiety and fear. With the last Blink, In-gong landed on the ground in front of Actius.

In-gong was tired as well. He had used four successive super special moves, but he couldn’t stop here. He had to finish it properly.

In-gong gathered his remaining aura and magic power as he stared at Actius. He took out various scrolls he’d received from Felicia from his inventory as well. Wind, fire and lightning exploded in all directions, causing a disruption in the surrounding area.

Actius was overwhelmed by In-gong and moved quickly. Instead of rushing toward In-gong, he started to escape urgently. He had already witnessed In-gong’s movements, so he didn’t stop.

It was as In-gong thought. In Knight Saga, Actius would escape if there was any sign of danger. It happened when Actius was convinced he couldn’t keep fighting or win the battle. The barbarians around Actius panicked. They fell into confusion and didn’t run toward In-gong, nor did they escape with Actius.

Instead of attacking the barbarians, In-gong burnt the banner of war which was next to Actius. The flag played a central role in supplying energy to the battlefield, so the effect was indeed enormous. The aura of war covering the whole battlefield was removed, causing further confusion.

That wasn’t all. Green Wind appeared next to In-gong and shouted toward the sky,

“The barbarian king has fled!”

“Fled!”

“Fled!”

The amplified voice spread over the sky of the battlefield.

There were those who couldn’t see the entire battlefield, so it was easy to be deceived. Moreover, the spirit of war which had been controlling the barbarians’ spirits had disappeared. It wasn’t possible for the barbarians to maintain a sense of calm.

The ranks of the main body, who had actually witnessed Actius fleeing, collapsed. They were also witnesses to In-gong’s overwhelming ability, so they chose to escape instead of fighting him. As dozens of barbarians ran away, the flow quickly grew to hundreds and then thousands. Those at the left and right wings, which were distant from the centre, were confused by the movements of the center. It was the same for those on top of the fortress.

Anastasia blinked with a dumbfounded expression. She couldn’t believe everything that had happened before her eyes. At that moment, Carack shouted from in front of Anastasia,

“Princess! Now!”

Anastasia’s eyes widened, and she immediately understood the situation. It was now the time to give support from the rear. The barbarians’ escape was just a temporary phenomenon. In order to spread that phenomenon to all the barbarians, military power was necessary.

Anastasia pulled out a potion and drank it. After recovering her magic power forcibly, she gave a command she had never imagined would be shouted today.

“Open the gates! Support Shutra!”

&

The whole battlefield began to transform.

The barbarians, who had lost the energy of war, were no longer immune to spirit magic. The result of Anastasia’s long term spirit magic was really frightening. The completely deceived wyverns then poured energy shots toward the barbarians. The individual barbarians were not controlling the monsters—the nightmares were. Complicated commands were not needed. Simple control was enough to make the monsters go crazy.

There were thousands of troops in the central fortress. It was unreasonable to pursue the barbarians who outnumbered them. However, the barbarians had suffered considerable damage while escaping. There were those who were trampled by their own allies or killed by a raging monster. Anastasia pretended to pursue them aggressively. This meant that the barbarians couldn’t stop moving. She didn’t drive the barbarians in one direction but scattered them in every direction.

In-gong looked at the mini-map while sitting on White Eagle, up in the air. In-gong let out an involuntary sigh of relief. There was still some aura and magic power remaining, but his physical and mental strength were completely exhausted. So, he was really glad.

‘As expected from Anastasia.’

It was a timely response. Moreover, her ability to dismantle the barbarians was really like art. She was really capable.

In-gong closed his eyes. He wanted to fall asleep, but this place was the battlefield. Moreover, In-gong wasn’t alone right now.

“Master, did I do well before? I mimicked what the lycanthropes did at Takar.”

In-gong stroked Green Wind’s head as she sat next to him. In-gong laughed as he recalled Green Wind spreading the news that the barbarian king had escaped.

“Yes, well done.”

He took off Earth Quaker and stroked her head with his bare hands. Green Wind looked at him with a pleased expression and said,

“Master.”

“What is it?”

“You were really cool today.”

Green Wind spoke honestly, and the effect was powerful. In-gong shifted his gaze to avoid Green Wind’s eyes.

Then the voice of a woman was heard in In-gong’s ears.

[You have led a desperate battle to victory.]

[Title: Great Hero has been acquired.]

[Your level has risen.]

In-gong smiled with satisfaction.
