Breakers Chapter 23:
Chapter 23 - Chapter 3: Rescue #6
The fire arrow broke through the darkness . Of course, everything in its path didn’t turn into ashes . He had just learnt Fire Arrow, so it was only Lv1 .
However, this was the first time In-gong was using magic . He felt bliss despite the pain .
‘Ohh, it is real! Real magic!’
"Prince! Are you okay?”
Carack shouted without looking his way . In-gong opened his mouth to answer but only a strange sound emerged from his mouth .
"Hoatcha!”
In-gong moved his body reflexively . This time it was toward Felicia and the reason was simple .
'I-I have to do this!’
Magic was heading towards them again . It wasn’t a fire arrow like earlier but an ice arrow .
“Kuheok!”
Unlike the fire arrow that exploded against In-gong’s back, the ice arrow pierced through him . The clear voice rang in his head, but this time the pain was so great he couldn’t feel any joy .
[Ice Arrow Lv1 has been learnt . ]
[Stamina has decreased . You are in a very dangerous state . ]
He couldn’t see the stamina gauge but there would be a red light coming from it if he could .
"Ugh . . . "
As In-gong groaned and collapsed, Felicia quickly reached out and grabbed him .
“Shutra!”
"Prince! Are you okay?”
He couldn’t respond to the two people . He had been too irrational when it came to magic .
He was too greedy . It was crazy to learn magic in this situation . It would be no use learning magic if he died .
In-gong had various regrets but he couldn’t think due to the pain .
Felicia rolled In-gong over and pulled out the ice arrow .
“Keok!”
“Stay still!”
Felicia half-screamed as she touched In-gong’s wound with trembling hands . No further attacks reached In-gong due to the fierce defense of his orcs .
"Crazy, crazy! Why did someone so weak do something like this? And when did you learn magic?”
In-gong was suffering but Felicia was very surprised . Felicia’s eyes darted over In-gong’s body with an incredulous expression .
‘Shutra protected me?’
He took the blow with his body?
Felicia was forced to concentrate in order to cast magic . It was recovery magic for In-gong .
‘Ah?’
A warm light emerged from Felicia’s hands and In-gong’s wounds healed quickly . It didn’t stop until his stamina recovered to a certain degree .
[Heal Lv1 has been learnt . ]
‘Ohh!’
He had been about to die, so now he was just happy to be alive . Felicia didn’t realize In-gong’s joy and laid her hands on him again .
“Hey! Shutra! Steady yourself! Don’t die!”
She sounded angry but he was surprised to see tears in the corner of her eyes . In-gong, who was lying down, stared at her face with shock .
‘F-Felicia?’
She could act like this? Wasn’t she indifferent to Shutra?
“Hey, are you okay? Huh? Answer me!”
“I’m fine . ”
In-gong tried to answer as energetically as possible but only a small voice emerged . Felicia started pouring out abusive language .
"This bastard! Why did you bother? Do you think that I can’t stop magic of that degree? Now, I have to protect you!”
“No, I didn’t intend to protect you . ”
Of course, that was his intention with the first attack . However, he wanted to be hit the second time .
"Anyway, can you stand up? Should I use another recovery spell?”
In-gong nodded at Felicia’s question and used his strength to get up . Although In-gong was confused by her overly friendly attitude, it seemed to be quite favourable to him .
"Prince! Are you okay?”
He heard Carack’s voice from nearby . Instead of answering, In-gong leaned against Felicia and said,
"Noona, we need to move quickly .
Thanks to the recovery magic, his voice was better than before . Felicia nodded with relief and replied,
"Hmm, yes! Hurry!”
Somehow In-gong felt like Carack was saying ‘Are you joking right now?’ with his eyes, but he ignored it . He headed to the Jishuka Mountains with Felicia while Carack escorted them .
However, escaping wasn’t as easy as he thought . The Red Lightning orcs were flocking like dogs .
‘Damn! What is Chris doing?’
Of course, it wasn’t Chris’ fault . Perhaps Chris was facing double the number of orcs that In-gong was .
‘Why are there so many orcs remaining at the base? Is Caitlin okay?’
In-gong was concerned about Caitlin who headed in the direction opposite to him . However, they were Chris and Caitlin . Even the powerful Zephyr was reluctant to confront them alone .
‘Yes! I should just worry about myself!’
"Kuooh!"
A menacing sound was heard from the front like it was in response to In-gong’s thoughts . The answer came from the orcs around him .
“Blood ogre!”
The orcs simultaneously cried out the name . An entirely red ogre blocked the path of In-gong’s party .
‘A mutant species of ogre!’
They had more power and were bigger than ordinary ogre .
He roared and wielded a double-edged axe that seemed to be bigger than In-gong . It was an equipment that only Zhang Fei seemed capable of using .
'We have to pierce through . ’
They had to get rid of him in order to open the path to retreat . If the delay was too long, the number of Red Lightning orcs behind them would increase .
In-gong turned away from Felicia with a determined expression . Now wasn’t the time to be hiding his power .
“Carack! It will be the same as last time!”
Carack nodded at In-gong’s call and grabbed his axe firmly . No further explanation was required as the hearts of the two people were already connected .
“Below the King’s Flag!”
In-gong stabbed a dagger into the ground and shouted . As before, a white light sprang from In-gong’s body .
'Keok!’
His stamina seemed to drain out of him . Even though he was already half-seated due to stabbing the dagger into the ground, his legs lost strength and he almost collapsed .
However, the skill itself was a success . The light from In-gong gathered together to form a line with Carack .
Carack, who was surrounded by white light, unleashed a wild battle shout . The nearby orcs roared like wolves but the magician Felicia was different . Her red eyes shook as she stared at In-gong .
“Shutra? Did you just do this right now?”
She demanded an explanation but now wasn’t the time .
"I did!”
“What are you doing! Let’s go!”
As Carack shouted, Felicia frowned but turned toward the blood ogre .
"Ohhhh!"
“Kuoooh!”
Cararck and the blood ogre roared as they rushed towards each other . Felicia laughed like they were pathetic and waved her hands lightly .
"Grease!”
"Kaaack!”
The spell turned the ground in front of the blood ogre slippery . The blood ogre was unaware of this and fell like he had stepped on a bar of soap in the bathroom . The clever Carack didn’t miss this opportunity .
"Die!”
The axe struck the blood ogre’s neck .
“Kiaack!”
The blood ogre tried to raise his body was a terrible scream, but it was useless . Carack pulled the axe out and struck down on the blood ogre’s forehead .
Blood and brains splattered . Carack laughed up towards the sky and Felicia frowned at him .
‘As expected from Felicia . ’
Although Carack was the one who dealt the direct blow, the MVP of the battle was Felicia . She had used magic appropriate to the situation .
'Did that mean I didn’t have to use Below the King’s Flag?’
It could be seen like that but the effect of Below the King’s Flag wasn’t simply giving strength .
[Your level has risen . ]
It allowed the king to gain the merits!
‘Level 10!’
A white light shone around In-gong as he levelled up . In-gong’s stamina recovered in an instant and he jumped up . Just like last time, he had a headache after using Below the King’s Flag but he didn’t care .
Level 10 - a level with a special meaning in Knight Saga!
‘I mean, maybe!’
[The level of Protagonist Correction has increased . ]
A clear voice rang out as In-gong formed a fist .
