Chapter 212 – Chapter 44: Rendezvous #3 (2/2)

It was then that Baikal made a decision. He noticed Chris’ movements and moved to join the other royal children instead of moving towards the center. However, he never forgot the sword duke. Baikal could neither enter the vicinity where the sword duke and winter king were fighting nor leave the sword duke alone. In order to be able to help at any time, Baikal also kept on eye on the sword duke’s fight.

The battlefield had transformed into a breathtaking melee. At the forefront, In-gong collided with the death knights.

Kwang!

Earth Quaker growled angrily as the first conflict started. In-gong moved smoothly like the wind, so the death knights couldn’t catch him. Then he slammed his fist into a death knight’s chest.

That death knight’s massive power was destroyed. In-gong soon moved onto another Death Knight as Green Wind also took action.

Kwakakakak!

White Eagle, Alpha Black Eagle, and Beta Black Eagle struck the heads and chests of the death knights repeatedly. Unable to withstand Green Wind’s brutal attacks as well as the power of Conquest which suppressed the power of Death, the death knights’ heads and chests shattered.

In-gong adjusted his breathing, then he took a deep breath and threw himself between the pincer attacks of a second and third death knight. Concentrating his strength on both his legs, there was no need for In-gong to think as he used a technique.

‘Divine Sura Authority—New Lightning.’

Lightning emerged from In-gong. Then the white lightning which started from In-gong, drew a sharp trail over the waist and chest of the death knights, pushing them away. The old Lightning would’ve ended here, but this one took it one step further. Intense lightning poured towards the remaining death knights.

Kwakakakakang!

The sound of thunder rang out, and the death knights couldn’t catch up with In-gong’s movements. The sounds of the death knights’ chests, waists and legs being destroyed fired up White Eagle and Black Eagle.

Then New Lightning ended, but In-gong still didn’t stop. He turned into blue smoke to avoid a death knight’s attack from the side. His body was soon reconstructed, and he rushed towards the center of the magic circle.

The frost monarch, Cabellina, panicked. She didn’t know what to do as In-gong defeated the death knights and advanced. Additionally, In-gong wasn’t the only one here; Zephyr’s magic power was getting heavier. Quanta was still showing great strength, and there was the warrior who was emitting a resplendent light.

Cabellina had to protect the magic circle, but she couldn’t think of any methods to do so. The death knights and vampires rushing in were just like new firewood being thrown into roaring flames. As Cabellina gritted her teeth, she erased all complicated thoughts and stared at In-gong who was charging toward her. She focused her magic power and prepared to fight.

Then at that moment…

Cabellina felt her magic power swell up. The death knights as well as the vampires became stronger, and there was a vortex of mighty magic power in the center of the magic circle.

“Ahh!”

Cabellina was filled with joy. She had no choice. It was the master of this magic power… This was his power. The magic circle, which covered the entire battlefield, started to shine once again. Dark clouds filled the sky, then a blizzard started due to the flow of magic power.

Beatrice, who had barely recovered thanks to Anastasia’s recovery magic, gasped and grabbed her chest. Altesia, the dark saintess, showed a response similar to Beatrice.

This new power was a power beyond reason. The light of the magic circle became stronger and so did the vortex in the sky and on the ground. There was only one person who could create such a miracle on the battlefield. Both of the vortexes exploded. The space distorted, and there was a huge crack in the air.

The undead stopped fighting and shouted towards the sky. There were hundreds of thousands of them, so it seemed like the earth and sky were shaking.

The winter king and sword duke stared at the center of the magic circle, and the winter king smiled joyfully.

The crack in the air grew bigger, then finally, it broke. As the sky shattered, a huge presence emerged.

Blue lightning struck between the dark clouds. The dark clouds headed towards the ground, while the blizzard soared towards the sky. In the heart of this scene, magic power swirled.

Quanta shook with fear. Everyone within the center of the magic circle reacted in the same manner. Anastasia’s breathing became harsh, while Felicia’s hands shook involuntarily. The always present smile disappeared from Altesia’s face, and Sektum fell to the ground, struggling against the pain.

Chris had thought that the power invested into this mission was far too excessive, but it was different now. He understood the reason why the sword duke had concentrated so much power here.

The new presence was huge. He wore purple clothes which were closer to black, and his right hand held a staff while his left hand held a sharp sword. Specters roamed around him. His skull had a golden crown on it, and blue lights gleamed from where his eyes were supposed to be.

Arch Lich Shutenberg, also known as the Half King…

His gaze turned toward In-gong.
