Breakers Chapter 13:
Chapter 13 - Chapter 2: Alliance #4
In-gong hadn’t increased Aura just to surprise Chris and Caitlin .
Right now, Aura had more uses than Telekinesis .
Aura had the effect of raising his overall physical abilities .
It wasn’t comparable to natural athletic exercise but it was halfway there . Even having low experience in the technique was enough to give him an excellent physical performance .
It was the same for fighting . Without this technique, a faster and stronger person was likely to win .
‘Telekinesis takes practice . Moreover, it was difficult to exert a threatening power from the beginning . '
He didn’t want to throw it away but he wouldn’t invest resources in it yet .
In-gong had been saving the additional stat points and skill points since his first level up . There were two reasons for this .
Firstly, he didn’t know what ability would be most efficient to invest points in .
Secondly, there were many requirements if the next level was a high level . Therefore, it would more efficient to gather the points and use them when needed .
It was a common idea for a gamer .
However, In-gong revised his plan after experiencing a battle .
Skill points? He would use them . It was more important to survive than to grow at peak efficiency . He needed to grow to live .
However, he decided to leave some of the additional points . It would be saved for when he found a skill he wanted, like Aura .
‘Although, I shouldn’t be too choosy . '
He had some freedom due to Carack and his men . If In-gong had to survive alone, he would have gone with endurance and durability type skills without hesitation .
"Isn’t this a terrific talent? It is amazing that there hasn’t been any rumours . ”
Chris spoke in a voice mixed with admiration and his eyes were shining with a strong curiosity .
"Sometimes, talent may bloom late . ”
Caitlin said from next to him . In-gong didn’t know why but she had a proud expression . It was like she was thinking, ‘my brother is so good!’
'But I am also Chris’ younger brother . ’
In-gong laughed while gazing at Chris . Chris was overflowing with interest and kept on nodding .
"A waste . Really a waste . I want to be your teacher . ”
There were a number of responses that could come out when facing something like this but there were two big ones .
One was jealousy while the other was a favourable impression .
They would like to raise him . They would want to make a genius and he wouldn’t be left to rot .
Fortunately, both Caitlin and Chris seemed to be the latter type .
‘However, it will be hard . ’
The relationship between the children of the queens and concubines were fairly complicated . Chris and Caitlin being friendly with In-gong was an entirely different matter from becoming his subordinates . Additionally, this involved teaching him Aura .
Many people couldn’t compete with the lycanthropes due to Aura, so this was a sensitive thing to do .
It was upsetting but In-gong had to give up . However, Chris wasn’t dissuaded .
“Hey, Shutra . ”
Chris said, flinging his arms around In-gong . Then speaking in a low voice like he was telling a secret,
“Can I teach you? Although it will only be limited to this expedition . ”
Chris, prince of the lycanthropes, would teach him Aura directly .
Based on In-gong’s position, it was a really welcome offer but In-gong thought about it once again before accepting it .
'Right now, what should I do?’
The children of the Demon King didn’t just fight each other . Of course, there were alliances called factions .
There were many factors in determining a faction but the biggest part was the relationship between mothers .
Whether the children liked each other or not, the children whose mothers were in a good relationship or alliance belonged to the same faction . On the other hand, no matter how much the children got along, those with mothers who hated each other would always be enemies . It was like Romeo and Juliet .
Knight Saga began in Year 513 which was one year from now . However, In-gong knew the composition of the factions among the children .
‘There are only three children without factions . ’
One was Shutra and the other two were Chris and Caitlin .
Chris and Caitlin always played with each other . Meanwhile, Shutra was always alone because none of the factions wanted him .
'If I think of it in another manner, can’t I secure Chris and Caitlin for my faction?’
His mother’s family was weak but In-gong had talent . His talent was brimming over . It wasn’t necessarily useless - this was Chris’ judgement of the situation .
It wasn’t bad for In-gong . Right now, he needed powerful allies he could rely on .
If there was one problem, it was the secret of Caitlin’s birth .
It was a story that was really cool to talk about . However, it was a big problem - he might get caught up in the children complaining about Chris and Caitlin .
‘No . I won’t let that happen . ’
In-gong turned toward Caitlin .
“Noona, what do you think?”
“It is a good idea . ”
Caitlin nodded with a serious expression .
Chris said with a long face,
“It is better to learn from me than from Caitlin . When it comes to Aura, I am better in terms of delicate handling . No, just learn from both of us . Caitlin, is that okay?”
"Yes, it is okay . Noona will teach you well . ”
Caitlin responded quickly as she stared straight at In-gong . Her eyes were full of motivation .
"Thank you, I’ll ask you to look after me well . ”
'Okay, then let’s talk about work now . ”
Chris grinned and headed towards the neglected battlefield map on the table .
Chris explained the whole situation in a way that was easy to understand . Thanks to the battlefield map, the movements of General Vandal and the main army were clearly visible .
"The battlefield is advantageous this time . We are winning . However, if we keep marching this way, we will reach the base of the Red Lightning tribe . There will be a lot of resistance . ”
Perhaps, there would be a big fight .
“Shutra, can you make a map of the cave?”
Chris glanced at In-gong with anticipation . Thanks to the cave, Kaichin had been able to be caught . Perhaps, it could be utilized more . Both Caitlin and Chris stared at In-gong .
In-gong wanted to meet their expectations but his answer could only be ‘no . ’
‘I have the mini-map!’
He would be able to draw a map if he used the mini-map .
‘Thinking about it, won’t I be able to draw it?’
He could just look at the mini-map .
“Um, wait a minute . I will draw it now . ”
“Huh?”
Chris made a disbelieving sound . Rather than replying, In-gong looked at Caitlin instead .
“Just a moment . Noona, can I borrow pen and paper?”
“Uh, wait a minute . ”
Caitlin nodded with a little bit of surprise . In-gong smiled and started to draw the mini-map on a large piece of paper . In addition to the cave, In-gong drew what he scouted yesterday .
At first, Caitlin and Chris just watched without any expectations but their eyes soon changed . The road itself was simple but the map was so detailed .
Once In-gong finished drawing the map, Chris alternated between looking at the map and In-gong .
“You, are you really a genius?”
“It is because the road is simple . ”
In-gong answered bluntly . Rather than announcing the existence of the mini-map, it was better to pretend that he had a good head .
"Shutra has a good brain . ”
Caitlin nodded with admiration . This time, there was a little bit of envy mixed in .
In-gong just laughed and pointed to the map .
"Anyway . . . I only explored up to here . ”
The last time, he had just moved forward and hadn’t pay much attention to the mini-map . However, he now noticed a path leading to another place .
Considering the passage in the mountain and the direction it was taking, it was likely that it would continue close to the Red Lightning tribe’s camp .
"This cave, I think we should explore it a little more properly . ”
Chris declared and In-gong nodded .
"Kaidum said it was the first time he used it . Kaichin hadn’t known about the passage at all . ”
Even within the Red Lightning tribe, not many of them knew about the cave . Maybe Kaidum was the last one .
Moreover, there was one important fact .
“They don’t know that we have found the cave . ”
So, they could take advantage of this . They could stab the enemy in the back .
Chris smiled at In-gong . A lycanthrope’s smile - it was the smile of a hunter .
The Demon King has five queens + several concubines .
Among the five queens, there are nine children born who are vying for the throne of the Demon King .
The concubines act as members of the factions .
-That doesn’t mean there are no opportunities for children of the concubines . The Demon World is an area for the strong .
-I want to mention that the reason the Demon King has so many wives isn’t because he is **** =3=;; but for political reasons .
See you tomorrow .
Today is a happy day :D
