Breakers Chapter 178:
Chapter 178 – Chapter 35: Battle #5
Four types of power existed in Knight Saga .
One type of power was Aura . Aura was the power of life, a strength which could be used to train the flesh and master martial arts .
Another type was magic power, which allowed the user to temporarily impose false laws on the will of the world .
There was also psychic power—an innate ability which could be called a superpower .
The last type, divine power, was a strength which came from having a strong faith .
There was a story which told that if all four powers reached the ultimate stage, a perfect harmony could be created . However, that was just an ideology . Generally, it was common for the four powers to resist each other, instead of creating a harmony . However, Protagonist Body allowed him to repress that opposition . The power of Conquest did not allow for a quarrel between the four forces .
In-gong sensed the holy power in him increase by leaps and bounds . It felt like the divine power, given to him by the last flame, had grown at least five times stronger . Divine power itself could be called a miracle created by faith .
The stronger the faith of the believer, the stronger the **** would be, which, in turn, strengthened the believer’s divine power . Divine power was strong against magic power which created false miracles . Additionally, it boasted exceptional power against the various types of beings in the natural world .
‘Creature Abseltur . ’
He was the worst creature ever created by the fairy king, the first fairy user . Abseltur had stood on the side of the dark elves many times, but then the fairy king, the only being able to control him, died . The third daughter of the fairy king, who had been in charge of taking care of Abseltur, had been the first to be killed . Abseltur didn’t stop there and completely destroyed several villages and cities .
The fairy king’s eldest daughter, who had succeeded the throne, had been able to defeat him after making a great sacrifice . However, Abseltur had merely been defeated . Instead of being killed, he had been sealed . It hadn’t been very successful, however, Abseltur had lost the strongest body created by the first fairy king because of the fight with the new fairy king .
Then thousands of years passed . As the Era of Struggle occurred, Abseltur repeated a cycle of a long sleep and awakening to create his new body . He used the corpses of various strong individuals and monsters during the Era of Struggle as the materials .
In-gong remembered the Abseltur he had seen in Knight Saga . It had been Locke and Saintess Beatrice who had completely exterminated Abseltur, who had been on the verge of recreating the strongest body .
‘Anyway, the most important thing is divine power!’
Abseltur was a peculiar existence who was weak to divine power . Therefore Beatrice, who boasted the strongest divine power, was the key to victory .
However, In-gong did not care . Even if Saintess Beatrice or Dark Saintess Altesia weren’t here, he could not avoid the battle in front of him .
In-gong adjusted his breathing . He figured out the number of enemies around them through the mini-map opened in front of him . Then In-gong shared his gaze with Green Wind in the sky and detected the movements of the entire battlefield .
Abseltur was sitting in his carriage and wasn’t moving . The summoned blood warriors were the only ones moving . They divided into two . One group rushed toward the Sanctuary, while the other group ran towards In-gong . Of course, the numbers of the latter group were much smaller .
‘Master! They are dismissing you!’
Green Wind cried out angrily, but In-gong didn’t care . It was good if the other side was dismissing him . He didn’t slow down his running speed .
“Katur!”
“Kelala!”
The blood warriors spoke in their own language . They weren’t from this world and were instead demons summoned to fight . According to Knight Saga’s setting, they were warriors in an endless war . The only thing they did, aside from eating and sleeping, was fight .
‘How are they allies?’
In-gong was troubled by the fact that they had been summoned from another world . He stared at the blood warriors . They were all red . Although their bodies were different, all of them had an average height of three meters and sharp horns on their heads, shoulders and back .
Just before In-gong was about to collide with them, the heat from their breathing touched In-gong’s cheek . This was because the blood warriors produced flames from their long tongues . In-gong pulled back his right fist . His stance was just like he was pulling out a sword, but there was no sword at In-gong’s waist . It wasn’t a common sword he had pulled out from the inventory .
The space was opened, and the Giant King’s Sword soared from his inventory as it responded to his Telekinesis . It rotated roughly and smashed into everyone in front of In-gong .
Kwakakakak!
The lead warrior of the blood warriors was destroyed with a terrible sound, and over 20 blood warriors were thrown to the ground or into the air .
It didn’t end there . The Giant King’s Sword moved ahead of In-gong again . Under the control of his Telekinesis, the Giant King’s Sword was the most suitable weapon for wiping out the enemy soldiers on the battlefield .
The blood warriors shouted loudly again . They shot arrows at In-gong, and the power behind each one was enough to pierce through the target . In-gong didn’t bother reading the trajectory of the arrows . He just looked at the front like he was ignoring them . In fact, he was actually ignoring the arrows .
‘Battlefield Protection!’
It was a Protagonist Correction skill which lowered the accuracy of projectiles on the battlefield greatly . Half the arrows flew to the wrong place, while the remaining half didn’t even reach In-gong . It was natural . There was a heavy wind . Green Wind had created a wind barrier which twisted the course of the arrows . The arrows flew in the wrong direction and poured down on the heads of the blood warriors like bombs .
‘Rise!’
Green Wind commanded . Then the ground started shaking violently . The place where Green Wind was staring grew into a tree at a tremendous rate . It became a natural barrier which prevented the blood warriors from rushing to In-gong .
In-gong looked simultaneously at the mini-map as well as what was in front of him . At that point, Abseltur’s confusion could be felt, and the movements of the blood warriors rushing toward the sura showed unrest .
“Go!”
In-gong waved his hand, and the Giant King’s Sword flew straight ahead . Abseltur was no longer simply looking . The chimeras of the carriage he was riding were released, and they rushed toward In-gong . It was for the purpose of buying time .
The Giant King’s Sword collided with the blood warriors, while the chimeras rushed toward In-gong by trampling on the blood warriors .
The chimeras had the horns and body of a goat, the wings of a griffon, the tail of a snake, and the head of a lion . They were a monster which could reach a dozen meters in length just by staying still, making them seem five times larger when they were charging .
In-gong jumped over the Giant King’s Sword . When he saw the flames coming from the chimeras’ mouths, he didn’t hesitate to invoke Black Specter . The sound of hundreds of wings flapping was heard as black smoke wound around the chimeras . The chimeras screamed at the black blades which sliced their bodies, and as In-gong passed through the chimeras, he released Black Specter . The large carriage where Abseltur sat with an angry expression was in front of In-gong .
As In-gong approached, Abseltur rose up into the air, and his flesh started swelling .
‘Master!’
Green Wind shouted . Then In-gong opened his mouth and fired Dragon Breath!
Kwaaaaaang!
The pillar of light extended out swiftly . Abseltur, who was floating in the air, became greatly panicked . He spun his body desperately to avoid In-gong’s Dragon Breath .
Dragon Breath passed by Abseltur’s giant body . No, it could be called a wide area attack . Two out of the six wings popping out from Abseltur’s back were caught by the Dragon Breath and vanished .
Abseltur crashed with a scream . He now resembled a cerberus with the heads of a wolf, dragon and eagle as well as six bat wings .
The ground shook the moment Abseltur crashed into the ground, and it seemed like the earth was screaming . In-gong breathed out and focused magic power on his right hand . He completed the ballista-sized Fire Arrow and added the strength of Dragon Words into it .
“Levantein!”
It soon became a fire sword, and the giant flames rushed forward fiercely . However, Abseltur took care of it easily . Although he was hurt, he roared toward the Fire Arrow . At that moment, a powerful wave of magic power ripped apart the Fire Arrow In-gong had created .
Kuhuhuhung!
The battlefield trembled at the fearsome roar . Abseltur got up from the ground . He was a giant whose size reached 20 meters in height, but his movements were agile .
Chupak!
A blue smoke exploded . In-gong jumped and used Blink simultaneously as he thrust forward White Eagle on his left arm . Then something black emerged from Abseltur’s right hand and hit In-gong .
‘Master!’
In-gong couldn’t afford to respond . After being hit by the strong blow, he used Blink just before hitting the ground . Instead of being slammed into the ground, In-gong moved to the side and used Dragon Breath again .
Abseltur looked at In-gong, and the wolf head smiled .
Chupak!
This time, Abseltur was the one to use Blink . He moved forward from where he had been standing and completely avoided Dragon Breath before transforming . His three heads combined into a giant wolf mouth which aimed at In-gong . The transition was so quick that In-gong had no way to avoid it .
Abseltur bit down at In-gong, but he couldn’t tear In-gong apart with his teeth . His teeth were blocked by the strong wind barrier Green Wind had created .
‘Master! Hurry!’
The force exerted from Abseltur’s body was like poison . Green Wind was touching his aura directly, so she was feeling terrible pain . In-gong tried to use Blink, but it was impossible . Abseltur had surrounded In-gong with magic power and was blocking it . Abseltur was truly an ancient creature .
‘Master!’
Green Wind was close to screaming . Abseltur focused, and the power he emitted became even more tremendous . Even Green Wind, who had been strengthened through Apostle Appointment, couldn’t withstand it any longer .
It was the reason why a Saintess like Beatrice was needed to defeat Abseltur . Abseltur’s unique power could be overwhelmed by the divine power of Beatrice, who could be called the incarnation of the earth goddess .
In-gong created a spark of divinity, but it was weak . The power of the flame was too weak to drive back the surrounding darkness . He had to strengthen his divinity, and In-gong had one method left to do that .
“Green Wind!”
It was a command . Green Wind could no longer resist the power of darkness . She felt doubts and fear of losing In-gong . Abseltur would kill him . The force of darkness poured down suddenly on In-gong and swallowed him .
At that moment, In-gong triggered a skill which could be used because he had acquired divinity .
‘Spiritualism! Four Heavenly Kings!’
‘Dhrtarastra, the guardian of the east, the true king of the gandharva!’
At that moment, In-gong’s divinity swelled, immediately burning the power of darkness surrounding him . This time, Abseltur was the one who screamed . As though he had swallowed fire, he opened his mouth urgently and retreated .
It wasn’t just Abseltur .
Everyone on the battlefield felt the power of a mighty divinity . The blood warriors and sura looked in In-gong’s direction without knowing it . Beyond the boundary of the Sanctuary, the sword duke stopped wielding his sword against the army of the lich .
“Gandharva!”
The sword duke exclaimed . He remembered the sin of the gandharva many years ago .
They had intended to artificially create the strongest royal child who would leap over the 2nd Prince Zephyr . It was an absurd ambition to have for the next demon king .
The 5th Queen, who loved the demon king more than anyone else, had agreed to this stupid plan . It wasn’t because of a desire to become the mother of the next demon king . It was instead because she couldn’t bear a child and wanted to have a child with the demon king .
However, the plan had failed tremendously . Additionally, unlike the 5th Queen’s wish, the child hadn’t been born with the blood of the demon king . Unlike the rhetoric of the gandharvas who had persuaded the 5th Queen, the demon king’s blood hadn’t been used .
It was the strong divinity which the gandharva kept… It was the last essence left behind by their great ancestor that was implanted .
The child had been born without a soul, just like a breathing doll . That existence had become vitalized after a dozen years and showed an overwhelming talent when compared to the 2nd Prince .
Now, yet another power was blooming once again .
The sword duke recalled the face of the 5th Queen, Semita Ignus . He also remembered the appearance of the demon king who had lifted up the devastated Semita as she hugged her child, the sin of the gandharva . On that day, the demon king had taken the 5th Queen’s child as his own, and the child had been given the position of 9th Prince .
That’s how it was, but the sword duke didn’t care . He simply rejoiced in the prince’s pure strength . The sword duke swung his sword again and no longer looked back .
Green Wind was also affected . She stared at In-gong with a blank expression .
In-gong’s hair grew instantly until it reached his ankles . His hair became pitch black, and his original red eyes were dyed gold .
‘Beautiful . ’ She could only think of that . The heavenly aroma spreading from In-gong’s body seemed to paralyze her .
‘M-master . This is a foul! So handsome! Ah, no . Beautiful!’
In-gong could regain his spirit thanks to Green Wind’s words, well-aware of the powerful divinity throughout his whole body .
This was a temporary power . Just like Beatrice’s great skill where she became the incarnation of an earth goddess, In-gong could only hold it for a few minutes . Moreover, it was an excessive transformation .
However, it was enough .
‘Conquer!’
The white woman’s voice was heard . She seemed giddier than usual . In-gong formed a fist, and Green Wind blessed In-gong again . The divinity of the last flame was added, and a white spark rose from In-gong’s whole body .
Abseltur could not approach and growled angrily . In-gong smiled as he watched Abseltur . It was such a bewitching smile that Green Wind almost screamed again .
The distance between In-gong and Abseltur narrowed .
The **** and creature collided once again .
