Chapter 51

Chapter 51 – Chapter 7: Advent #9

“You are my temporary master, not a permanent one! Find a way!”

Green Wind stood up and shouted . The wind blew around her as she was quite agitated and her green hair flew up like flames .

In-gong waved his hands and cried out,

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Just calm down . ”

“Understood . ”

Green Windy responded promptly and really sat back down . In-gong coughed a few times before asking Green Wind,

"Green Wind, what is your current state?”

All the things In-gong had conquered so far didn’t have a will, so it was impossible for them to speak . Due to that, In-gong didn’t know exactly how he had ‘conquered Green Wind’ .

Green Wind looked up at In-gong with doe-like, clear eyes and said in a natural tone .

"I am yours . So, I have to submit to you . You can do whatever you please . ”

Green Wind spoke casually but In-gong’s perspective was different . In-gong knew she was trying to calm down .

"Watch me . ”

Instead of looking at Green Wind, In-gong stared at the tree trunks and took deep breaths .

“Okay . Let’s talk again . Anyway, is it that uncomfortable to be dominated by me? Things have changed . ”

"It isn’t about my abilities or status . I need to exist here as Green Wind . ”

Green Wind stood up again and pointed at herself .

"My master, if I am gone, Enger Plains will lose its colour . I am a piece of Watcher Ainkel and the symbol of her magic on the Enger Plains . ”

Watcher Ainkel had two magic spells on Enger Plains .

One was the magic of life that turned a desert into the Enger Plains and the other was the magic to protect Enger Plains that In-gong used today .

Green Wind had become a separate existence from Ainkel, so she was separate from the protection magic, but the magic of life was different .

She had kept watch over the Enger Plains for a long time and became closely related to the life magic that kept it green . She was like the biggest cog that kept a machine spinning precisely .

In the first place, she was concentrating mostly on the magic of life and helping In-gong, instead of fighting the monsters directly .

After hearing Green Wind’s explanation, In-gong came up with the simplest solution .

"Well, okay . Then can’t I just leave you behind at Enger Plains? You don’t have to leave with me . ”

The Thunder Light Anvil was left in its original spot and nothing else happened . In-gong had no intention of taking Green Wind if it would turn Enger Plains into a desert again .

However, Green Wind because greatly panicked by In-gong’s words and her face seemed like someone losing their country .

"Master, are you planning on abandoning me?”

If he nodded, he would feel like a bad guy as ‘leave here’ was interpreted as ‘abandoning her’ .

“Uh . . . Wait a minute . Green Wind, do you want to go with me?”

In response to In-gong’s question, Queen Wind replied decisively like there was nothing to think about .

"Whether it is temporary or permanent, you are still my master . It is natural to join you . ”

It wasn’t simply a matter of likes or dislikes . In the first place, she couldn’t act separately from In-gong .

‘Thinking about it . . . is this a spirit contract?’

In-gong examined Green Wind again . She had the appearance of a beautiful woman but she wasn’t a person . As Green Wind’s name suggested, she seemed to be a wind spirit .

‘Okay, well it isn’t a bad thing . It is good . ’

She was a big help in today’s battle . There was no reason for In-gong to resist .

‘All that is left is solving the problem . ’

In-gong was troubled and asked Green Wind who was sitting next to him,

“Green Wind, you said that you are the magic symbol of Enger Plains?”

“I did . ”

"Then can you make another presence to replace you?”

A new spinning cog would be created to fill in the absence caused by Green Wind .

Green Wind started to think seriously about In-gong’s idea . It seemed like she had never thought of creating something to replace her before .

'Actually, it would be strange if she had thought of it . ’

She had been the guardian of Enger Plains for hundreds of years . She thought she would always maintain Enger Plains’ greenness, so she hadn’t thought of another existence .

Some time passed and she frowned after pondering it for a while .

“It might be possible, but if I do that, I won’t be very helpful to Master for a while . I will have to leave almost all my power behind on the Enger Plains . If I stay with Master, I will regain my strength someday . . . I don’t know when that will be . ”

It was a bit disappointing but within the expected range, so In-gong nodded .

“Then do so . ”

"I feel somewhat sad doing this . However, I will follow Master’s will . ”

She pouted and fell silent like she was really sulking .

In-gong smiled and asked involuntarily,

"Will it take a long time?”

"I’ve never tried it before, so there is no guarantee . My guess is that it requires three or four days . ”

Well, it would take some time to clean up this situation . They had to sweep up the runaway casios and dragon ogres as well as decide how to manage the protection magic in the small temple .

‘I don’t know if someone will come from the Demon King’s Palace . ’

After securing the Thunder Light Anvil, there were dark elves sent for the sole purpose of exploring the ruins . It was highly possible that the Demon King’s Palace would send an expert to manage it .

In-gong wandered about who might be sent from the Demon King’s Palace . Although he didn’t know everyone in the Demon King’s Palace, he was able to recall the rough profiles of some competent people .

However, he didn’t think about it for long . After sitting back and watching In-gong, Green Wind was reminded of his first purpose .

"Master said there were things you wanted to ask . I am ready for Master’s questions . ”

That was the reason he had entered his sleeping quarters despite not sleeping until the late hours normally .

In-gong stared at Green Wind’s face before starting the questioning . She had been reborn but her essence was still the fragment of Ainkel . The mysterious eyes in the beautiful face reminded him of Ainkel who he had seen in the illusion .

"How and when did Ainkel die?”

Green Wind smiled and replied to In-gong’s question,

"I am a fragment . Moreover, I was reborn again as another existence, so I don’t have a lot of Ainkel’s memories . I only remembered that she was murdered around 1,000 years ago . ”

An elder dragon with the power of a god was allegedly killed .

It was a huge story, so it had naturally been left unanswered . If those great beings died of old age, he would have felt a sense of discomfort .

“I can’t remember who murdered Watcher Ainkel, but it is clear that it wasn’t another elder dragon . ”

Then who did it? Who murdered an elder dragon that had the power of a god?

In-gong questioned it . Green Wind no longer remembered, so there was no answer to his question . Moreover, it was a story that had occurred a thousand years ago .

"Is that your only question?”

“Nope, I have two more . ”

"Is that so? Then Master, ask me comfortably . It is likely that this will be permanent instead of temporary, so it will be uncomfortable if Master doesn’t feel at ease when talking to me . ”

Green Wind was strangely sincere in some areas . In-gong smiled playfully at her and said,

“I understand . I’ll do that . Then from now on, shall I talk to you casually?”

“What is Master’s question?”

Green Wind was unconcerned by In-gong’s teasing . She looked pretty cute, so In-gong got to the main point .

"As you know, I absorbed Ainkel’s power . Her power is flowing through my body . ”

“That’s right . The power of an elder dragon is nestled in Master’s body .

Dragon humanoid – a body that could accept a dragon’s magic power .

This time, he had used almost all of Ainkel’s magic power to transform his body . But if he found another piece of Ainkel, then it would be possible to absorb it .

However, In-gong’s thoughts didn’t end here .

"Then . . . apart from Ainkel, can I absorb the power of other elder dragons?”

There wasn’t just one but six elder dragons .

Not all of them would have left a piece behind like Ainkel . Instead, it was highly likely that their power existed in objects like Earth Quaker .

‘I might be able to receive some of the power of Queian himself like Locke did . '

Earth Quaker had responded to Ainkel’s strength and revealed part of its mystery . What would happen if he gathered the strengths of the six elder dragons to create a synergy effect?

Green Wind smiled softly at In-gong’s question .

“It is generally impossible, but Master seems to be different . ”

In-gong tilted his head and listened . Green Wind grabbed In-gong’s right hand and explained,

"You have the power of Watcher Ainkel and the Great Enkidu . Normally, they can’t get along with each other . However, Master can deal with both of them . If you mastered both Ainkel’s and Enkidu’s powers, then you can also use the power of the other elder dragons . ”

He could stimulate Enkidu and Ainkel’s magic power . Rather, it was very easy for him to stimulate it .

However, it was impossible to enchant Earth Quaker with Ainkel’s magic power . It was like strengthening a fire spirit with a water spirit .

Why was such a thing possible for In-gong?

‘Is it my Protagonist occupation?’

In-gong’s main occupation was Protagonist . There was also the addition of the power of Conquest .

Something was strange, but it was difficult to find more convincing reasons .

'Okay, it is like this . ’

Then he would gather the powers of the six elder dragons . They had god-like strength, so he could surpass both Locke and Zephyr .

“Master’s eyes are burning with ambition . ”

Green Wind said the same thing as Carack . In-gong coughed before leaning back again . Yet, one last question remained .

"Green Wind, how did you get conquered by me?”

“Conquered? If I was to speak of the process . . . it is Master’s strength, not mine . I just obeyed Master without resisting your power . ”

It was an answer he expected . So, In-gong asked once again,

"Then do you know anything about this power that I have?”

Conquest .

The golden-crowned female with white hair .

The power of domination .

Green Wind spoke gently, closing her eyes instead of showing any positive or negative emotion .

"As I mentioned, I don’t have all of Ainkel’s memories . This is why I have incomplete knowledge about Master’s power . ”

A light shone in In-gong’s eyes . Having incomplete knowledge was different from having no knowledge at all . The fact that Green Wind had some concept of Conquest meant that a Conquest Knight and Conquest weren’t things that had just popped up suddenly .

“Conquest . Yes, it is Conquest . If I had to name Master’s power, it would be Conquest . ”

Green Wind opened her eyes again . Her green eyes seemed more similar to Ainkel than before .

She told In-gong,

"It is the power of a king to conquer and rule over all things . It is your strength . The Conquest Knight, born with the fate of a king . ”

It wasn’t Green Wind but Ainkel’s voice .

In-gong’s eyes widened . However, the conversation didn’t continue any longer . After a moment, Green Wind, who had Ainkel’s eyes and voice, fell unconscious . Fortunately, it didn't seem like anything serious had happened to her .

‘A king’s strength . ’

In-gong closed his eyes . He felt like he had just heard something extremely important .
