Chapter 172 – Chapter 34: Gathering #2
“Prince, what is that fire?”
“Well, it is like it seems.”
In-gongresponded lightly to Carack’s puzzled question.He used Dragon Words directly like the high priest had said. It was possible to use it without speaking words, since it was transformed and reinforced through the will and emotions of the user.
‘In short, it does what I want.’
He realized why the dragons continued using magic despite the Dragon Words. Dragon Words was a tough and crude power. It was more convenient to use magic for various purposes.
‘But…’
It was definitely strong. Moreover, it was easy to use during close combat because it moved through his will.
‘It goes along with Dragon Style. No, I feel like I’ve come to know the true use of Dragon Style.’
If Dragon Words was putting will and emotion into magic, Dragon Style was putting will and emotion into aura. That’s why he became aware. His understanding of aura had become stronger.
In-gong looked at his status window for a while before investing most of his remaining skill points into Dragon Words. Dragon Words Lv4…
Although it was lower than the level of aura, which was close to 10, In-gong’s main strength was aura, not magic. Furthermore, Dragon Words was a higher concept of magic. So, Lv4 wasn’t that low.
“Okay.”
In-gong nodded lightly and used Ice Breath and Wind Breath. It was almost the same as Fire Breath, and it wasn’t difficult because the level of Dragon Words was now higher. The high priest’s eyes widened as In-gong used two more types of Dragon Words after succeeding in Fire Breath. He forgot the majesty of his position as high priest as he smiled with admiration and confusion.
“Indeed, Drakon Kechatulla… you acquired Dragon Words so quickly. You are truly blessed.”
The situation was similar to how it had been with Fire Breath, but Ice Breath and Wind Breath were different. The high priest had told In-gong of their existence but never taught them.
“A scam.”
Felicia spoke like had she witnessed something absurd, but she was smiling. It was a very proud expression. She laughed while covering her face with her fan and then spoke in a coy voice,
“High Priest, Dragon Words isn’t the only thing that Shutra can do. Do you know he can shoot Dragon Breath?”
“D-Dragon Breath?!”
The high priest was dumbfounded. Despite his majestic atmosphere, he was impressed like a child would be.
“Yes, he can also use Dragon Fear.”
Felicia added and the eyes of the high priest shook. He breathed deeply before looking back at In-gong. Then the high priest gulped and asked,
“D-Don’t tell me… Drakon Kechatulla, are you actually a dragon?”
That would explain why he had learnt Dragon Words so easily. Felicia laughed.
“High Priest, that isn’t possible. Shutra is a gandharva. Well, it is true that he is amazing.”
If Chris were there, he would be asking, ‘Why is Noonim acting so proud?’ Unfortunately, he wasn’t in the Dragon Temple but in the far north of the Demon World.
Carack laughed instead of saying something, while Delia, Felicia’s aide, was happy and had no intention of stopping it. In the end, In-gong coughed with embarrassment and told the high priest,
“High Priest, I am a gandharva. Also… can I learn the rest?”
“I understand. I will do so.”
The high priest replied and enthusiastically demonstrated more dragon words.

It had been one month since In-gong’s group arrived at the Dragon Temple.
In the heart of the temple, surrounded by a large collection of books, In-gong closed his eyes and concentrated. He had learnt six Dragon Words in the past month. Although he had learnt them instantly, he needed time to master them.
This was his first long vacation since opening his eyes in this world. He had never stayed more than one month in one place because he had always been wandering around here and there. Of course, it wasn’t really a vacation. For this month, In-gong didn’t just train in Dragon Words but all his techniques:
Aura; magic power; divine power; and psychic power. Compared to the previous two, psychic and divine powers were lacking, but everything still had room for a lot of improvement.
In-gong took a long breath to calm his impatience and thought about something else.
‘Warrior Locke.’
He was obviously a dragon warrior, the Drakon Kechatulla raised by Guardian Queian.
‘I wonder if he is an ally.’
In Knight Saga, Locke had been an enemy of the Demon World. Most of Zephyr’s subordinates had died at Locke’s hands. It had also been Locke who had taken Vandal’s life. However, he had never attacked first. It had just been a fight against the Demon World’s invasion.
‘It would be best if he became an ally.’
Locke was strong. He was the owner of a unique SS rank weapon and SS technique. So, it would be reassuring if he was on the same side. However, the future of having him as ally wasn’t certain. After all, In-gong himself was a prince of the Demon World. It was unknown if Locke, a patriotic warrior of the Human World, would cooperate with him.
‘I have to take advantage of my training in this temple.’
Locke’s adventure in Knight Saga had started in the Summer of Year 514. There was more than a year left until Locke would leave for his adventure.
In-gong focused his consciousness on his dragon heart. Ainkel’s magic power was warm.
‘Locke is the Dragon Warrior. Then what is Zephyr?’
Zephyr was a dragon humanoid, but that was because he was a draconian. He wasn’t a dragon warrior. Zephyr Ragnaros…
He was already special. He was recognized as the strongest royal child of the Demon King’s Palace and led one of the three major factions. However, it was the same in Knight Saga. In Knight Saga, he was the worst prince in the Demon World.
Warrior Locke wouldn’t be exactly the same as he was in Knight Saga, but he was still a dragon warrior and the enemy of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse. If so, wouldn’t there be something about Zephyr? Did he have any connection with the Four Knights and the Four Riders of the Apocalypse who were longing for the end of the world?
In fact, it was an unfolded speculation. This world wasn’t exactly the same as Knight Saga. The surface history and personal history of the characters were almost the same, but it was up to there. Many things had changed since In-gong first opened his eyes in this world. The Four Knights of the Apocalypse, who hadn’t appeared in Knight Saga, were causing incidents in various places.
Although Zephyr was the main character of the Demon World in Knight Saga, that didn’t mean he had a connection with the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
However, why? Something told In-gong that there was a connection, and his intuition was good.
‘It is unfounded.’
