Chapter 229 – Final Chapter: In-gong #2 (2/2)
“Are all your questions answered now?”
“Well…”
In-gong nodded before suddenly standing up. He had almost forgotten to ask the most important thing.
“Can I return to my original world?”
Return… Just as the beings in this world were precious to him, the people in his previous world were as well, such as his parents and his friends.
The indigenous species shrugged slightly and said,
“It is hard at the moment. But it might be possible one day. The most difficult thing about moving through worlds is lining up the coordinates of your world and this world. Moving across worlds also requires a tremendous amount of magic power.”
In-gong had already secured the most important thing. His eyes shone while the indigenous species had a sorry expression on her face.
“I can give you the coordinates right now. I’m sorry but I will have to leave everything else to you. Once I go to sleep this time, I probably won’t be able to wake up again. I should do as much as I can for you while I’m awake.”
In-gong was disappointed for a moment at the thought that returning was impossible. He didn’t hide his expression, which caused the indigenous species to laugh awkwardly.
“Don’t make such an expression. Although my words are somewhat shameless, aren’t you glad that you came to this world?”
“Huh?”
“You met Felicia and Caitlin. Carack and Green Wind as well. You met them and changed their fates. Perhaps if you didn’t appear in this world, there would be more events before the red dragon returned. You might have blocked a terrible future for them.”
The Day of Massacre and subjugation of the lycanthropes were things that could’ve happened. In-gong remembered the last he’d seen of Felicia and Caitlin in Knight Saga. He shuddered at the thought.
“I hate to admit it, but I am glad.”
In fact, it wasn’t just the two of them. It included Zephyr and all the children of the demon king. Sylvia and Elaine as well. If a future such as Knight Saga really unfolded, then it would’ve been disastrous for the Demon World. The war with the Human World would have been really devastating and truly like the end of the world.
The indigenous species smiled.
“Right? You also met beauties like Felicia and Caitlin. Moreover, you are now a king. Isn’t it like winning the lottery?”
“Who knows how my life would’ve turned out?”
How many times had In-gong struggled? The indigenous species shrugged at In-gong’s sharp words.
“I’m sorry. It is almost time for me to disappear.”
The indigenous species apologized. It seemed like she couldn’t say anything more using the white woman’s appearance. In-gong folded his arms while the indigenous species restored her expression again. She then spoke with an affectionate tone,
“Coincidence and inevitability meet to create fate.”
In-gong’s meeting with this world… the branches of all his bonds started from there.
“Thank you. Thank you for saving our world.”
The indigenous species got up from her seat and approached In-gong. Then she kissed In-gong’s forehead gently. It was a blessing from this world.
“May your destiny always be full of blessings.”
The indigenous species smiled. Then white light filled darkness.

In-gong opened his eyes. It was still the battlefield. Felicia was dozing off on In-gong’s chest, while Caitlin was sipping from an elixir In-gong had given her before.
“Shutra?”
Caitlin asked as In-gong suddenly raised his head. In-gong glanced back at her before turning his head.
“Carack.”
“What is it?”
“I’m here because of you.”
“What does that mean?”
Carack looked confused, but In-gong didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to Felicia and Caitlin within his arms. He pulled the two of them close to him again.
“Shutra?”
Caitlin asked with surprise while Felicia muttered about the pain. However, In-gong didn’t release the strength in his arms.
“It’s a good thing.”
“What?”
“Just… all of it.”
He had changed the ending so that this would be the future and not that terrible one he’d seen. In-gong smiled and kissed Caitlin. Then he also kissed Felicia’s forehead several times.It was a sudden affection but the black beasts were cleared out, so Carack couldn’t criticize him.
Carack clicked his tongue and said,
“Prince, do it moderately. 6th Princess can’t stand properly.”
It was certain that Felicia and Caitlin needed to rest. Moreover, there was one more thing that In-gong had to take care of.
“Master, are you going to praise me? I have been waiting for a long time.”
Green Wind appeared with a pout before In-gong. In-gong stretched out the arm holding Caitlin and stroked Green Wind’s head.
“Good?”
“Good.”
Green Wind hugged In-gong’s neck, and Carack started laughing again.
In-gong’s gaze moved to a place far away. He saw those heading in this direction. They were all welcome faces, yet it would still take them some time to arrive. In-gong waited for them and asked,
“The Demon King’s Palace, should I build it again?”
The new demon king needed to be crowned. Felicia nodded with a gloomy face as she was reminded of the demon king. In-gong held Felicia’s waist a little tighter and whispered,
“Then we will get married.”
Felicia hurriedly opened her fan, but it was useless. Caitlin hit In-gong’s chest on behalf of the blushing Felicia.
“Let’s go back first. After we rest, I’ll tell you everything.”
“Huh?”
Felicia blinked with confusion while Caitlin shook her head. Green Wind didn’t care about anything as she closed her eyes and clung to In-gong.
“Prince.”
Carack called out to In-gong. The one who In-gong had first seen when he opened his eyes in this world said to him,
“You did your best.”
“Yes, you too.”
What more was needed to be said? In-gong looked at the pillar of light where the indigenous species was located, then he looked back in the direction of the Demon King’s Palace.
A pleasant wind hit In-gong’s cheeks.
