‘Telekinesis? Is it really Telekinesis? No, did I really learn it?’
Knight Saga had several powers .
There were those who, like warriors, acquired aura power to fight directly with their bodies .
Magicians used the power of nature to cast magic .
Unlike theoretical magic, mental power and psychic power were close to instinctual .
The gods gave divine powers to their believers .
People were born with the powers but it was rare for someone to have psychic powers .
‘Did I wake up a psychic power? Then can I wake up another power like aura? If I have divine power, can I awaken it?’
If it was as he thought, then it was truly a scam . Even Zephyr and Locke couldn’t master all four powers .
In-gong impulsively opened his skill window . Then he thought again because he didn’t want to distribute his skill points too impulsively .
'No, I have to . Right now, it will be a big help if I put points into Telekinesis . I must live!’
He was currently in battle . This wasn’t the time to save his points . He needed to leave here alive to learn other powers .
In-gong cleared his thoughts and looked up . The exit was much larger than the passage because it was located in a vacant lot . However, the dozens of big orcs made it seem narrow .
"Kuaaaak!"
"Kuhang!”
Among them, Carack and Kaichin were facing each other . The other orcs wielded their weapons and were busy dealing with the enemies in front of them .
The orc that held a wolfbone staff and had hit In-gong with a psychic attack was fighting other orcs .
'We are being pushed . ’
The mini-map showed that each side had similar numbers .
However, a fight wasn’t just about numbers . In-gong nervously swallowed his saliva and stared at Carack . He was having a tough confrontation with Kaichin, a member the Red Lightning tribe .
‘Well done! As expected of Carack! It was worth giving that weapon to him!'
"Cough!"
“Keok!”
Carack’s orcs and the Red Lightning orcs screamed as they were killed . In-gong felt a sense of horror as he brandished his knife at a passerby and blood gushed out .
“Pant pant . ”
In-gong started breathing heavily . Due to the telekinesis strike, In-gong was now on the edge of the battle .
‘What should I do? Shouldn’t I strike if I want some experience?’
It was unreasonable for In-gong to confront an orc . Although he was 1 . 3 times stronger than Villager A, an orc was many times stronger . Moreover, he had just learnt swordsmanship, so a 1:1 melee confrontation was too much .
However, he couldn’t just watch . He was able to gain experience just by wielding a wooden sword . Therefore, taking part in an actual battle could make his level rise in a flash .
‘I need to hold them off . How can I hold them off?’
He couldn’t just lunge in and hit everything .
'Something else, something different . ’
It had to be helpful . It wasn’t in his nature to run away or hide from a fight .
'Should I increase the level of Telekinesis?’
If he invested all his skill points, he could increase Telekinesis to level three . However, it was hard to know how much each level would cost .
‘A lot of points are required for a skill like Telekinesis . It might require more points after reaching level two . ’
He would be really upset if he didn’t have enough to reach level three .
‘I can’t just throw them all away on Telekinesis . ’
There was also Basic Swordsmanship . If Basic Swordsmanship reached level four, it seemed possible .
In-gong opened his skills window . However, unlike his original idea, he didn’t touch Basic Swordsmanship .
It was because he noticed something once again .
[Conquest Lv -]
An inactive skill .
Conquest Knight was listed in the uniqueness section .
He had never seen a Conquest Knight in Knight Saga before . What was a Conquest Knight? Furthermore, there was also a skill .
‘Conquest . ’
His heart started throbbing . He had never felt this before . It felt like something was surging in his chest .
'Punishment, obedience . . . governance . ’
These words popped into his head . At that moment, everything before him became dark and in the darkness, he saw a woman dressed in white . A woman with one red eye, one blue eye, long white hair and the adornment of a golden crown stared at In-gong .
"Do something! Hit him!”
The orc holding a wolfbone staff shouted loudly and pointed at In-gong . All the orcs, regardless if they were friend or foe, stared at In-gong with surprise . A pure white light was surrounding In-gong .
“Stop!”
"Hit him!”
"Watch the prince!”
Carack was the last voice . Kaichin woke up from his amazement and aimed the hammer at Carack .
"Prince?”
This was the first time the prince didn’t listen when he was called . Carack avoided the hammer desperately and Kaichin then started running toward In-gong .
"Die! We must kill him!”
The son of the Demon King .
A prince .
Shutra wasn’t weak but Chris and Caitlin were incredibly strong . To Kaichin, who’d dealt with both of them, Shutra seemed like a terrible monster .
Carack chased after Kaichin . The orcs with opposing purposes flocked toward each other; one side to protect In-gong and the other to kill him .
In-gong didn’t notice any of the fuss . He was alone in a new world where only the woman in white could be seen .
She said something but he couldn’t hear her voice . Darkness enveloped the woman and the darkness covering In-gong’s eyes soon faded away .
"Prince!”
“Heok?”
Carack shouted and In-gong jumped back . Kaichin’s battle hammer struck the place where In-gong had just been standing .
"Ohhhh!"
Carack struck Kaichin . A struggle between the two orcs occurred in front of In-gong .
In-gong quickly grabbed the dwarf dagger . Instead of leaping forward recklessly, his instincts made him open the skill window .
[Secondary Occupation: Conquest Knight Lv1]
It was a new occupation . Additionally, it wasn’t just the occupation that was added .
‘The power of conquest is a king’s strength!’
In-gong understood it naturally . The skill Conquest had been activated .
"Below the King’s Flag!"
In-gong stabbed the dagger into the ground . At that moment, a white light scattered around the area . A white line also formed between In-gong and Carack .
It was only for a moment .
But it was enough . In-gong invoked the power of a king and Carack embraced that power as the king’s subordinate .
‘Kuooooh!’
Carack swung his axe . It was a faster and more powerful blow than before .
“Keok?”
Kaichin moaned with confusion as he was pushed back by Carack . Then Carack aimed his axe at Kaichin’s head . It was a continuous strike that normally wouldn’t have been possible .
The dwarf battle axe smashed through Kaichin’s head at once . As brains and blood splattered everywhere, a sensation was shared between In-gong and Carack .
[Your level has risen . ]
[Your level has risen . ]
Carack achieved some merits for his king .
In-gong stared at Carack after gaining two levels . Yet, the line between In-gong and Carack was still the same .
“Go! Carack!”
After hearing In-gong’s command, Carack took a deep breath and pulled his axe from where it was stuck in Kaichin’s head . Shaking his axe, he let out a battle cry .
“Fight, fight! That is the only way to live!”
The orc shaman, the orc with the wolfbone staff, shouted urgently . However, it was useless . The Red Lightning orcs standing near the exit were trembling as they felt like fleeing .
“Kuooh!”
Carack rushed through the orcs and swung his axe in every direction . The momentum was so intense that no orc could endure Carack’s strikes .
“Run away!”
Once one of the orcs cried out, the balance collapsed completely .
The Red Lightning orcs fled toward the exit . Meanwhile, Carack rushed toward the orc shaman who cursed and brandished his staff .
Kakang!
There was a clanging sound as the axe and staff hit each other . However, they didn’t bounce off each other . Carack’s axe split through the staff and dug into the orc shaman’s chest .
“Kuhak!”
The orc shaman gave a pained groan . However, his eyes were still alive . He pushed intensely at Carack with Telekinesis .
It was his final, desperate struggle .
The orc shaman was determined to die . In-gong reached for his dagger .
‘Just one more!’
The orc shaman’s next attack didn’t happen . A new blade had pierced the side of the orc shaman .
“Cough!”
The orc shaman felt some excruciating pain while using Telekinesis . The orc shaman stared at In-gong who was stabbing him with poisonous eyes . The dwarf dagger was firmly embedded in him .
‘I have to kill him!’
In-gong didn’t say it out loud but it was enough . The orc shaman fell down with a final cry and In-gong took a few steps back .
“Hah, ha . . . ”
The line connected to Carack disappeared . Despite having just levelled up, his body felt heavy like he had exhausted all his stamina .
“Prince . ”
Carack called out to In-gong, who then turned and looked at him . Carack seemed like a brutal beast due to the blood covering him but Carack just laughed and raised his axe .
“We won! I took Kaichin’s head . Prince’s victory!”
"Ohhh!”
"Ohhhhh!”
Carack’s orc subordinates cheered with pleasure at the victory .
Instead of cheering with them, In-gong sat down and breathed in deeply . Now that the battle was over, he didn’t have much spirit remaining .
Over the orcs cheers, a voice was heard in In-gong’s head .
[Your level has risen . ]
Level eight .
In-gong laughed with delight .
End of Chapter 1 - Entry . Start of Chapter 2 - Alliance .
Author’s Note:
Some of you may have noticed but one of the core materials of Breakers is the ‘Four Knights of the Apocalypse . ’
Joo In-gong is a Conquest Knight .
