Breakers Chapter 141:
Chapter 141 – Chapter 26: Conquest #2
In Knight Saga, Silvan and the fairy hadn’t been on In-gong’s side .
However, the battle with Silvan on the ‘Day of Massacre’ had been so impressive that In-gong remembered the general characteristics . Silvan’s magic power had been exhausted, and he died .
In order to prevent this, In-gong had to stop the fairy from emitting an endless amount of magic power .
The power of Conquest emerged from In-gong’s palm and revolved around the fairy . As expected, In-gong frowned at the result .
The fairy wasn’t like a separate item . It was a part of Silvan and was connected to Silvan’s soul, so it wasn’t possible to conquer it separately .
If so, there was only one way remaining .
“Shutra?”
Felicia wept as she called for him . She gasped as she read In-gong’s expression and poured out,
“Is there a way? Is something wrong?”
Her words were deteriorating . It wasn’t a situation where she could speak properly as per usual . However, her thoughts were still clear . She didn’t miss the fact that there was a way for In-gong to save Silvan . Felicia grasped In-gong’s hand tightly .
“Please . Please, I’ll do anything . I’ll do whatever I have to as long as Silvan will live . Please . Please, Shutra . ”
Felicia wept and begged, bowing her head several times while talking .
In-gong closed his eyes . He had no choice now . He had to do it . He couldn’t do anything that would leave an irrevocable wound in Felicia’s heart .
However, that wasn’t the only reason . He didn’t want to lose Silvan either . In-gong wanted to save this silly man .
In-gong settled his heart and opened his eyes . As he pushed Felicia’s hand away gently, In-gong spoke to Silvan,
“Silvan hyung, can you hear my voice? There is only one way to save Hyung . You must accept my rule—become my knight . It is a magic ritual, so you shouldn’t reject it . This way, I can save Hyung . ”
He had to make Silvan a member of the King’s Knights . The Conquest Coat of Arms would be carved on Silvan, and he would be under In-gong’s rule . Then it would be possible to influence the fairy without conquering it .
After In-gong accepted Vandal, the King’s Knights were at full capacity . However, the level of Conquest rose in the battle against the Famine Knight, and it was the same for the King’s Knights . The positions in the King’s Knights increased from five to seven people, so he had room to accept Silvan .
The problem was something else . How would he explain to Felicia and Silvan about controlling the fairy? Could it be a gandharva magic or a unique family magic?
While that might work on others, it was no longer the case with Felicia; this was the limit .
However, he couldn’t give up on Silvan . So, In-gong was prepared for whatever happened .
Then something unexpected occurred . Silvan’s expression cracked after hearing In-gong’s explanation . Despite facing death, Silvan was satisfied Felicia was still alive, but there was an expression of fierce rejection on his face .
“No…”
Silvan squeezed out . Felicia stared at Silvan with shock .
“Silvan?!”
Silvan no longer had the power to move his head and simply stared at Felicia with dull eyes . He wanted to reassure her and managed to speak after some difficulty .
“I… Felicia’s… knight… I swore… geis…”
“You fool! You will die! Die!”
Felicia’s shout struck like a thunderbolt, but Silvan didn’t listen and simply smiled . However, the strong feeling of rejection could be felt .
It wasn’t mere stubbornness . Silvan had mentioned a geis, a magic oath . Felicia also knew about that . So, thoughts ran through her mind desperately . As a good magician, she found the answer and grabbed In-gong’s hand once again . She poured out her words,
“Shutra, I will be your knight . If I go under you, Silvan, my knight, will become your knight, right?”
There was no contradiction in her logic . In-gong had a blank expression, while Delia couldn’t help feeling shocked .
However, Felicia just stared at In-gong with unwavering eyes and said,
“If you become the demon king, I will be your subordinate anyway . I know there is a magic ritual, but it doesn’t matter . It’s okay . Save him, Shutra . ”
There were several magic spells in the Demon World which could bind an oath or relationship and some were worse than In-gong’s spell . There was magic which could give pain every time an order was disobeyed or even magic in which the master held the power of life or death .
It was the reason for Delia’s shock . Felicia’s situation was different from that of Silvan’s, whose life was at stake . Moreover, Felicia and Silvan had completely different positions . Being in a matriarchal society, Felicia was destined to become the next leader of the dark elves; she was going to become queen of the dark elves .
However, Felicia was already determined . Delia opened her mouth to stop Felicia, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything . Her mouth opened and closed a few times before simply she bowed her head .
In-gong also made a decision . If it was Felicia, he didn’t mind giving away the last spot in the King’s Knights . No, he actually wanted to give it to her as she was precious to him .
In-gong nodded and looked back at Silvan . He placed both his hands on Felicia and Silvan’s foreheads .
“Did you hear that, Hyung? I’m starting . ”
Silvan couldn’t answer . His time was truly numbered .
Felicia bit her lip to restrain her nervousness . In-gong first cast the King’s Knights on Felicia .
“Felicia Doomblade, I appoint you as my knight . ”
The power of Conquest enveloped Felicia, and she accepted In-gong’s rule without rejecting it . Felicia became the sixth King’s Knight . On Felicia’s forehead, the white Conquest Coat of Arms emerged .
Next was Silvan . In-gong activated the King’s Knights once again . There was only a short moment of rejection due to the dark elves’ geis, then Silvan also accepted In-gong’s rule . He became the seventh knight, and the same coat of arms appeared on his forehead .
Then the King’s Knights took effect . The benefits offered to the knights were also shared with Felicia and Silvan .
Felicia’s eyes widened with surprise . It wasn’t just stronger physical ability but magic power as well .
It was also effective on Silvan . His magic power had almost been drained, but there was now a little bit of time before that .
In-gong followed up with the power of Conquest . It acted like reins on a wild horse to pull back the raging fairy . Unlike Felicia and Silvan, the fairy resisted violently, but it was useless . Conquest was much stronger than before and instantly pushed down the fairy’s resistance, subjugating it .
‘Rule . ’
The white woman said . In-gong obeyed her voice and controlled the fairy . He closed the hole which was leaking magic power and put the fairy to sleep .
The sight of the white light was truly beautiful and mysterious . As soon as the fairy became quiet, Silvan closed his eyes . His magic power had stopped leaking, and he had a very calm expression on his face .
In-gong let out a breath as the urgent fire was put out . He wiped the sweat off his forehead and saw that Felicia was teary-eyed once again .
Felicia laughed like a fool . She touched Silvan’s forehead and cheek, and cried again . Then she opened her arms toward In-gong, who understood what she meant . Silvan was using her knees as a pillow, so she couldn’t move to hug him .
Felicia was obviously taller than In-gong, but right now, she felt small and slender . Felicia grabbed In-gong tightly and burst into tears again . She cried like a child .
“Shutra, Shutra . ”
‘I was so scared . So scared . I thought Silvan would die and leave me forever . Delia almost died, Sepira’s arm was cut off, and the crew members are dead . ’
Felicia wasn’t able to speak these words . She then fainted in In-gong’s arms . The tension had been so tight that she collapsed as soon as it was released .
In-gong hugged Felicia tightly once more before handing her over to Delia . He saw Sepira seat herself carefully next to Silvan, then she started weeping .
One wrist had been cut off cleanly . A simple recovery spell stopped it from bleeding . In-gong used recovery magic on Felicia and purified Sepira’s arm . As she was bathed in the magic light, Sepira bowed with a humble expression . There was a deep emotion of appreciation on her face .
It was In-gong who had saved Silvan’s life . So, for Sepira, In-gong was a lifesaver .
In-gong faced Sepira and examined the extent of her wound . This was a world where regeneration magic existed, so she might not always be crippled .
After worrying about Sepira, In-gong got up and looked around .
Black ash was scattered at the place where the Famine Knight had died . It was the trail of the person who had previously been Gerard .
Famine hadn’t died . He had just been expelled from Gerard’s body . However, he wouldn’t be able to intervene for the time being .
This was quite natural because of the true story of the Conquest Knight .
Conquest, the red and blue eyed woman, didn’t want the end of the world . So, she chose to fight against the other riders .
In-gong was able to understand Famine’s and Death’s hatred . He could see why War looked at Conquest with a mixture of dislike and goodwill .
They were Conquest’s brothers and sisters, friends and lovers . From their standpoint, Conquest was the worst traitor .
In-gong closed his eyes and calmed his mind . For now, it was enough that he understood Conquest’s true dream . He would gradually learn more .
‘Then let’s move on . ’
It was hard to imagine the Famine Knight showed up because of Felicia and Silvan . Perhaps the ruin itself was his goal .
‘Is there something like the Moonlight Extract?’
This was a ruin which hadn’t appeared in Knight Saga, so In-gong didn’t know what was inside it .
In-gong arranged his thoughts and picked up Amita’s sword from the ground . Then he exclaimed unknowingly with admiration .
As expected from Amita… The sword was infused with the fairy’s magic power, but the blade was still fine .
Silvan had been able to destroy half of the Famine Knight due to Amita’s sword . In Knight Saga, Silvan didn’t have a sword strong enough to endure the fairy’s magic power . So, when he opened the fairy, he couldn’t use his special swordsmanship .
In-gong laughed as he was reminded of Amita slamming their tail against the ground .
Then a voice was heard from right beside him,
“Master, is it over?”
It was Green Wind, who had become solid . In-gong looked at her and nodded .
“Roughly . Now, let’s return to the Black Flame Dragon . ”
The Black Flame Dragon was near the entrance to the ruin . In-gong hadn’t been able to look at the situation there because he had been flying so quickly, but he could guess . If the Famine Knight had entered through the entrance, then the crew of the Black Flame Dragon wouldn’t have been safe .
He felt saddened as he remembered the crew members who laughed so happily . As his shoulders sagged without him realising, Green Wind pouted and moved into In-gong’s field of view .
She tilted her head and looked up at In-gong like she had something to say .
“Green Wind?”
As In-gong called her name, Green Wind straightened and spoke in a slightly exaggerated tone,
“I flew an incredibly long distance today . I did plenty of worthwhile work . So far, I have been waiting patiently . ”
It was a face that wanted praise . In-gong had the gut feeling that Green Wind wasn’t acting like this simply because she wanted praise . She was trying to change In-gong’s mood, and it was quite charming .
A smile formed on In-gong’s face . He looked at the cute and lovely Green Wind and couldn’t help wanting to praise her .
“Yes, that’s right . As expected of Greenie . You did really well . If it hadn’t been for Greenie, I wouldn’t have been able to save Felicia, Silvan and the others . ”
In-gong stroked Green Wind’s head while praising her in an exaggerated manner .
Instead of her usual reaction, Green Wind blushed and puffed out her cheeks like she didn’t know what to do . In-gong asked with confusion,
“Why? Uh, did I pet you wrong?’
Was she sick of too much petting?
Green Wind shook her head at In-gong’s question .
“Ah, no, I just suddenly felt embarrassed . Master, keep praising me . I did something worthy of praise . ”
Green Wind said, hitting her chest .
Her appearance was very cute, but In-gong didn’t start praising her again .
“Sorry, let’s do the rest later . Can you help me move Silvan-hyung?”
The size of the shield was quite large when White Eagle and Black Eagle were combined, so it was possible to carry Silvan in a lying down state .
“I am Master’s . I will follow Master’s commands . ”
Green Wind returned to White Eagle .
As Delia and Sepira loaded Silvan on White Eagle, In-gong suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky . The moon, which had been hiding in the clouds, was suddenly revealed .

“Noona, I have a confession . ”
