Chapter 190 – Chapter 39: Ghosts #5
There was someone looking up, and he started moving as he watched from a distance.

In-gong’s black hair… It was long, like a stroke of the night sky had been drawn. The white divinity was like the sun. However, instead of being dispelled, the specter of the fairy king released magic power.
Divinity and magic power clashed. They pushed each other, causing flashes of light and a deafening roar in the process.
The fairy king roared angrily, and In-gong also shouted without hesitation. He pulled back a fist and gathered aura and divinity together.
While In-gong was doing this, Green Wind defended him. As a goddess of the wind through Apostle Appointment, she stood beside In-gong, who had awakened as a gandharva god, and pushed with her own strength.
The fairy king was powerful, but In-gong’s divinity was also powerful. Moreover, divinity was a direct power. It was the nemesis of those who twisted the natural world. Green Wind pushed out with her unique magic power, while the white divinity pressured the fairy king.
‘Don’t waste time.’
In-gong had to settle it here. The damage which had already occurred was enormous. Additionally, the vortex of magic power in the sky needed to be resolved as well. In-gong shouted and punched out with a fist which contained the power of destruction.
However, at this moment, when he was about to attack, time seemed like it was stopped. Sylvia looked up at the sky and screamed. Despite the fairy king in front of them, Green Wind and In-gong were forced to look up.
The sky had opened. Thunder and lightning struck around the giant magic vortex which was several hundred meters in diameter, and something extended from its center. It was a huge arm of light—a huge mass of overwhelming magic power.
‘Master!’
The giant’s fist pierced through the vortex and headed straight toward the palace. In-gong broke off from his thoughts and immediately turned his body. He held Kalteins’ equipment, Night Watch in his hand, and the blue cloth swelled up and created momentum.
In-gong looked at the magic vortex. The massive arm was in the center, and it didn’t end with just one arm. He could guess what was beyond it.
“Shoot!”
While everyone was frozen, there was a shout. A black flying ship rose from the outside of the palace.
It was the Black Flame Dragon. Fire poured from the dark elf ship, and a red column of light poured out from the majestic masthead at the front. However, it didn’t reach. Just before it reached the giant arm, the red column of light twisted and headed to another place. It was pushed elsewhere, away from the ridiculously strong magic power. The twisted red pillar shot to the edge of the vortex created by the magic fog, and it was absorbed as well.
The Black Flame Dragon turned in midair. This wasn’t due to fear of the giant arm but to prepare for a second attack. However, the giant arm didn’t stay still. As it grabbed the air, golden magic power formed. It was like lightning.
Everyone looked at the sky, and they couldn’t even scream. Lightning, the purest power, poured from the sky like a punishment from the gods! The giant arm sprinkled lightning, and it rained down toward the palace. The moment that the catastrophe approached…
In-gong moved. He poured his attack toward the lightning.
“Tr-ue Des-truct-ion!”
It was the white of destruction against the golden lightning. The power of the Great Enkidu exploded along with the divinity. The explosion occurred in the sky.
Intense light erased the night. It was a white darkness that blinded everyone. The roar disturbed their ears, and the aftermath of the destruction caused the two powers to splinter into hundreds of pieces. The moment passed, and the white light disappeared again. The giant arm was pushed back, and In-gong stumbled in the air.
Thunder struck, while Green Wind hugged In-gong from behind and supported him. The figure of the fairy king had become blurred.
In-gong, who shared his senses with Green Wind, understood immediately.
It already existed. The specter of the fairy king and the vortex in the sky were already one.
The loud sound of thunder tore through the sky, and another arm stretched from the center of the vortex. The two arms spread apart across the vortex as if it were a hole. The sky opened, and from the center of the vortex, a head was exposed.
It looked at In-gong as it also looked down at the palace from above.

The runaway spirits all looked at the same place. Even the ghosts, who were howling with hatred, shut up and raised their heads to the sky.
Amita knew. It was invisible, but they could feel it. There was also a deity… In-gong and a god created by magic power.
The last flame whispered to Amita. They trembled with fear as their tail sagged down.
Silence enveloped the palace, and there was a group running in there.
“Omamama!”
Felicia shouted from Chris’ shoulder. Chris, who had barely reached the top floor, stared up at the sky, while Caitlin’s mouth dropped open. However, thanks to the flag of light that Carack was holding, they weren’t overwhelmed. The power of Conquest didn’t allow them to be ruled by something else.
Felicia’s call broke the silence, and Sylvia regained her spirit. She remembered a piece of knowledge which had been buried deep in her memories.
That was a demonic god. The first fairy king had prepared it to defend the land of the dark elves.
In fact, this was the first time he had actually shown up. The second fairy ruler, the eldest daughter of the fairy king, had an unexpected death. The original plan had been for her to complete the magic spell which the first fairy king had failed to complete.
Sylvia continued thinking, then she made a decision as a queen.
‘Give up the fog of Sky Forest.’
The fog of magic power originally existed in Sky Forest, but it wasn’t at this scale in the beginning. The first fairy king had strengthened the magic fog. The magic power harvested from the dark elves who lived in the Sky Forest was also added to the magic fog.
At first, it was insignificant. However, thousands of years had passed, and the magic power in the fog was now incomparable to what it had been originally. The magic fog had acted as a solid barrier which protected Sky Forest for thousands of years. As queen of the dark elves, Sylvia knew this. However, she had to give it up. The power of the magic fog had to be crushed in order to stop the demon god in front of her eyes.
Sylvia didn’t worry and made her decision at that moment. The tree branches covered Sylvia’s entire body on the throne. At that moment, dozens of message magic spread at the same time.
-Destroy the strongholds of magic hidden in Sky Forest. Disrupt the magic power that is strengthening the fog and break the power of the magic fog itself.
Chris opened his eyes. His political knowledge meant he immediately understood the decision Sylvia had made and what it meant. Felicia stared at Sylvia, who exclaimed decisively,
“Go!”
There was no time. They didn’t know when the second attack of the demonic god would come. Nobody knew if In-gong could stop it again.
Chris and Caitlin exchanged glances. Sylvia’s message stated that there were five magic strongholds. So, they had to move individually to destroy the strongholds scattered throughout Sky Forest.
Chris threw Felicia, who he had been carrying on his shoulder, toward Caitlin. Caitlin snatched Felicia, who then hugged Caitlin’s neck tightly and cast a flying spell. Caitlin looked up at In-gong one more time before throwing herself out the window.
Chris was no different. He breathed in deeply and concentrated on the lycanthrope blood flowing through his body. After the battle with Gerard, he had triggered a new power. As a mixed race, he didn’t have a complete Beast Form. However, it was possible to bring out the power of the beast. Chris’ teeth and claws sharpened, and the muscles of his body swelled. The golden hairs growing on his body also became more abundant. Chris threw himself out the window without any flying magic. He ran down the outer wall and reached the ground in an instant.
Carack moved with Seira. His method of moving to the ground was like Chris’, but it was much more intense and rough. Seira used Beast Form on Carack’s back and glared at the ghosts and undead covering the ground.
Three of the five strongholds were set. The Black Flame Dragon was headed toward the fourth magic stronghold. The last place would be left to the guards. They bowed to Sylvia and immediately left the office.
There were now only a few people were left on the top floor with Sylvia. The tree branches stretching from the throne didn’t stop at Sylvia’s body but pierced her skin.
Sylvia looked up at the sky and concentrated the remaining power of the palace in one place. She watched the confrontation between the demonic god and In-gong.
