Chapter 203 – Chapter 42: Awareness #5 (2/2)
“I was telling Shutra that he is using Noonim too much.”
“Yes. Isn’t that right? He has drained his sisters.”
Felicia smiled wearily, while Caitlin laughed and looked at In-gong.
“Yes, yes. Shutra is too much. I’ve also had my aura drained.”
It was filled with affection rather than criticism. Then, instead of replying, In-gong stood up and declared,
“Now, let’s depart. Anastasia noonim, I’ll be asking for your magic power next.”
“Are you treating me as a battery now?”
“I am too.”
“How childish.”
However, the princesses then burst out laughing at In-gong’s expression.
“Yes, let’s start.”
As Anastasia moved to the centre of the army, the aide beside her signalled for the soldiers to prepare to move. In-gong climbed on top of Maybach and thought about Shutenberg.
It had always been Warrior Locke who took out Shutenberg in Knight Saga. Additionally, the place where Shutenberg had fallen wasn’t beyond the Northern Limit Line, but at the border with the Demon World and Human World.
‘I think that Locke probably took down a clone.’
In-gong took a deep breath and looked beyond the Northern Limit Line with a serious expression in his eyes.

Locke’s party arrived at that location almost half an hour after In-gong’s party left. Carlov gazed at the trail of the army and huffed.
“How can an army march so fast? Are they overflowing with magic power? No, isn’t this too much even if they are?”
The speed of the army was even faster than the flying ship. There were 200 troops, but they were moving at a super fast speed. Carlov had experience marching through countless battlefields, so he was confused.
However, Beatrice was worried about something else.
“Doesn’t it seem like they have no luggage? How are they getting their supplies?”
They could supplement their supplies in the Demon World, but the destination was beyond the limit line. Each soldier would need to carry a large burden, but the baggage for each soldier was too light. It was almost like they were carrying nothing.
Carlov’s and Beatrice’s worries deepened. They travelled all over the Demon World, but they had never encountered such an unusual maneuver.
“Well, aren’t we able to go unnoticed thanks to that?”
Locke said brightly, but Carlov wasn’t cheered up.
“Rather, I am worried that we will miss them.”
Their movement speed was too fast. Until now, it had been easy to catch up due to the traces left behind. However, these traces might disappear beyond the limit line.
“Beyond the limit line, we will have to narrow the distance a little further.”
Locke’s group hadn’t moved beyond the limit line yet. Compared to the children of the demon king, they were lacking in information.
“Shouldn’t we just join with the children of the demon king? Their purpose is the same as ours.”
Carlov scratched his chin as he spoke, but Locke shook his head.
“It isn’t easy to decide. The Guardian told me to maintain a distance.”
Guardian Queian didn’t trust Conquest. Although Locke wondered if he needed to be so careful, he would follow Queian’s words for now.
“Anyway, let’s depart. Otherwise, we really will miss them.”
Carlov said lightly. The children of the demon king had likely already reached the Northern Limit Line at this speed.
“Beatrice, please use recovery.”
“Yes, Locke.”
Beatrice was Locke’s battery. She closed her eyes and prayed quietly to her god.
&
In-gong’s group reached the Northern Limit Line. In pursuit of In-gong’s party, Locke’s party headed toward the Northern Limit Line. Additionally, there were those who were going beyond the Northern Limit Line but toward the west.
“1st P
rince Baikal Ragnaros greets the sword duke.”
“2nd Prince Zephyr Ragnaros greets the sword duke.”
“Greetings, I am the saintess, Zephyr’s fiancee!”
A youthful voice was added at the end. Baikal laughed, while Zephyr just closed his eyes with a bitter smile.
The sword duke couldn’t help laughing. He knew about the Dark Saintess, but he had never imagined she would have such a bright personality. Furthermore, he didn’t know she was the 2nd Prince’s fiancee.
“I am Sword Duke Ishgard. It is a pleasure to see 1st Prince and 2nd Prince.”
In response to the sword duke, Baikal smiled mildly while Zephyr opened his eyes. Altesia grinned as she approached Zephyr.
The sword duke looked at the three people before turning his gaze away. In addition to the Order of Erebos knights Altesia had brought along, there were the draconians led by Baikal and Zephyr respectively. However, the most prominent one was Quanta.
She looked like a gandharva, but the sword duke immediately identified her as a dragon. 2nd Prince was just as amazing as 9th Prince.
Quanta wasn’t the same as when she met Altesia, but just like before, she was still blindfolded.
The sword duke looked at Quanta with interest before turning his attention back to the three people.
“The preparations are ready. Then there is no need to delay. Let’s depart immediately.”
The number of troops led by Baikal and Zephyr combined to make 500. Due to them being cavalry, the amount of supplies needed was enormous. Therefore, in terms of mobility, they had to hurry or they would lag behind In-gong’s party.
The sword duke glided smoothly along the ground, immediately followed by Baikal and Zephyr.
Half a day later, aside from Victor, all the demon king’s children and Warrior Locke crossed the limit line.
In different places, the War Knight and the Death Knight looked at the same place.
