Chapter 186 – Chapter 39: Ghosts (2/2)
Sylvia opened both arms widely. It was a welcome from the Queen of the Dark Elves.
In-gong smiled at the sight of 3rd Queen Sylvia, Silvan, and Felicia quickly descending the stairs just for the welcoming ceremony. They were a really cute family—no, a really cute mother and children.

After the welcoming ceremony, a magnificent dinner party was prepared.
The interior of the Dark Elves’Palace was decorated like a forest, with high ceilings which strengthened the feeling of walking through a forest.
In the middle of the spacious hall, there was a large wooden table with a huge number of plates on it. Unlike the elves, the dark elves weren’t choosy about what to eat, and the food on the plates ranged from greasy meats to sweet snacks.
It was a buffet style party where everyone could pick the food they wanted to eat.
The highlight of the party was Amita, who looked cute and pathetic when they couldn’t reach the food they wanted to eat on the table.
“Amita, I will help you. Please sit on my knees.”
Daphne stepped forward, but Amita jerked back and said,
“It’s okay. The more hungry I am, the more delicious the food will be! Daphne should also dig in!”
Then Amita turned and moved the food with Telekinesis. They were consuming stamina using Telekinesis while eating, which made them more hungry.
“Master, I can feel the atmosphere of an expert eater from the raccoon.”
“Yes.”
Consuming stamina to make sure they had more room in their stomach… It was enough to give Amita a new title.
Since it was a dinner party which had started late, it was natural to go to bed after it was over.
“Everyone should rest for today. I’ll show you around after you’ve unpacked.”
Felicia said before personally showing In-gong, Chris, and Caitlin to their guest rooms. Everyone was given one large room with a small one attached where their aides could stay. The children of the demon king were each assigned a room close to each other.
“Well, it is good that we don’t have to go back and forth.’
Carack smiled while arranging In-gong’s bed. Even though his hands were rough from army life, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say they looked different when grabbing the bedding.
“Huh? Prince, when did you use the Lucid Dream Pillow so much?”
Carack suddenly asked when he saw the pillow. The surface of the Lucid Dream Pillow indicated the number of times it had been used, and that number had changed from before.
In-gong flinched, while Carack took the posture of a nanny and started scolding him.
“Prince, I know your mind is active when sleeping, but…”
“Carack!”
In-gong jumped up and shouted, but it wasn’t to prevent the sermon. An ordinary orc wouldn’t react, but Carack was different. As soon as he realized that In-gong’s cry was strange, he rushed away from the place where he was standing. At that moment, In-gong used Dragon Words,
“Ku-pa-ha!”
The Dragon Words didn’t stop the shaking in the air. The dark grey beings which had appeared above Carack’s head scattered.
“Ghosts?!”
Carack asked urgently, while In-gong opened the mini-map. The number of red dots were increasing.
“They aren’t spirits! Banshees!”
“The female ghosts?!”
They were a representative monster of the ghost species. Instead of answering, In-gong gave an order to Green Wind. The first thing to do was to get rid of the banshees forming in the room.
“Green Wind!”
At the same time, a green wind swept through the entire room. After filling the room with her power, Green Wind took a solid form and told In-gong urgently,
“Master, White Eagle is strange. Abseltur’s heart feels different from usual.”
White Eagle was like a house for Green Wind. In-gong instantly took White Eagle out of his inventory. Indeed, an extraordinary light was emitting from Abseltur’s heart in the center of White Eagle.
“Resonance.”
The heart itself wasn’t causing the light. It was a light caused by other forces. If so, what had stimulated Abseltur’s heart?
“The fairy king.”
It was all he could think of. Abseltur was a creature created by the fairy king. So, it was natural if his magic power stimulated Abseltur’s heart.
“Is this abnormality due to the heart?”
In-gong shook his head at Carack’s desperate question.
“No, it is the opposite. Abseltur’s heart isn’t the cause. It is just part of the phenomenon.”
“Master, the flow of magic power is strange. The fog is becoming thicker.”
Green Wind spoke with a pained expression. In-gong closed his eyes and focused on the glow of magic power. Yes, the density of magic power was indeed growing thicker. It obviously wasn’t an ordinary situation. This sort of thing had never once occurred in Knight Saga.
The fog started to pour inside the building. As the screams of the banshees could be heard in the distance, Abseltur’s heart shook more ominously. What was happening today? Why had the status quo suddenly changed?
“I-Is it because Prince showed up?!”
He wanted to deny it, but he couldn’t. It was because the timing was too complicated.
“Kyahhhhhh!”
At that moment, he heard a scream from afar. The voice was so familiar that he couldn’t not notice it.
“Felicia!”
In-gong no longer delayed and shot forward like a thunderbolt. He broke down the door and threw himself into the hallway.
