Chapter 216 – Demon King – BREAKERS

Chapter 216 – Demon King

As night fell, cold darkness fell over the world.

Closing his eyes, the Death Knight greeted the night. Then he took a deep breath, filling his lungs with cold air.

Communication with Archilich Schutenberg has been lost. After the destruction of his senior Apostle, a lot of emptiness remained in the soul of the Death Knight, however, he did not become discouraged. So far, everything has been within the range of expected events. Schutenberg’s death would inevitably lead to the activation of the black sun.

The Death Knight sighed again, deliberately banishing all unnecessary thoughts from his mind. He knew well how foolish it was to get attached to someone.

A thousand years have passed. The day when everything changed was in the distant past, so now everything was in order.

Time heals any wounds.

The Death Knight with an effort suppressed old memories of that loss and opened his eyes. His gaze opened onto the Demon King’s palace at night.

Death pushed him forward, while War only smiled at the thought of the upcoming battle.

The Death Knight raised his sword.

***

The snowstorm did not stop. After the collapse of the magic circle, the snow, thrown into the sky, began to settle to the ground again.

Anastasia, screwing up her eyes from a bright flash, opened her eyes and looked in front of her. Seeing that the landscape hadn’t changed, she sighed with relief. The tension in her legs eased, and they, having lost their strength, treacherously buckled. Taking a deep breath several times, she made every effort not to collapse to the ground.

The black sun did not explode, and the absolute power of destruction did not wipe this area off the face of the earth.

But what happened? It was hard to imagine that such magic would fail. Schutenberg used his own soul to activate this spell, and it was much more difficult than a magic circle encircling a snowy field. Thus, it did not even fit in her head that the powerful Archilich made some mistake.

At that moment, staggeringly, Felicia, who was sitting next to her, stood up. The elf was also on the verge of fainting, but her face was filled with joy.

– Shutra, – the princess muttered with a stupid smile. The tide of despair she felt when she saw the black sun was too great. Her heart was pounding and her cheeks were flushed. She didn’t know exactly what had happened, but she might well have guessed.

Ingun blocked the black sun. She did not know exactly how he did it, but she was sure that he did it.

It was Shutra. The real Shutra.

Felicia’s desire to see Ingun became even greater, but then her forces finally left her, and she fell to the ground.

– Your Highness!

– You can get hurt. Be careful.

Delia and Karrak approached Felicia and helped her up.

“We are all alive,” Delia whispered softly, smiling warmly.

However, Felicia did not hear her.

Carrack, as always, smiled, showing his teeth. Seeing that smile, Felicia felt relieved. She never thought she would feel relieved looking at the orc’s face. However, just as Shutra was Shutra, Karrak was Karrak.

How did Ingun stop the black sun? Her curiosity as a magician flared, and her desire to go and hug Shutra became even stronger.

– The joke is amazing.

Felicia tried to copy Caitlyn. Delia raised her eyebrows at these unexpected words, but Felicia didn’t care. The shutra was really amazing.

She took a step forward and then another. Although the souls of the undead were freed, the snow constrained their movements. In the end, Karrak offered his help to the exhausted Felicia. Despite her feelings for the orc, even Delia thought it was not too polite, but Felicia nodded readily.

Seeing Kaitlyn and Chris standing in front of her, the princess’s heart beat faster.

“Hug tight. A very tight hug. And then press your head against his chest. And also…”

Imagining the further development of events, Felicia was slightly embarrassed. Despite the fierce cold penetrating into the bones themselves, her red face still could not cool down. When Carrack finally got to the right place, Felicia jumped off his back and barely held back a cry.

Delia looked over to where Felicia was and froze.

– Shutra! Shutra!

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Locke’s Warrior and Zephyr standing next to her. There was also Chris, next to whom Caitlin was sitting on the ground and screaming loudly.

However, the always smiling Shutra was not here.

Felicia staggered. Almost falling several times, she still managed to approach Caitlin, in whose arms Ingun’s body lay. His face was pale, as if he were dead.

– Sister, sister! Shutra! Caitlin shouted, noticing Felicia’s approach.

She barely managed to get the words right. Felicia closed her eyes and sighed heavily as her heartbeat quickened even faster. The elf’s face instantly went from reddish to the same pale as Shutra”s.

Karrak rushed to Ingun and grabbed his hands. Felicia also touched him with trembling hands.

Shutra’s hands and feet were cold. Meanwhile, his chest was hot, as if magical power was flowing through it, and there was no change in the Aura. It seemed like there was a huge hole somewhere inside him.

Felicia froze in silent shock. She understood why Kaitlyn was crying with despair, holding Ingun’s hand. The girl was connected with Shutra through the Moonlight Core and the Starlight Core, and therefore felt it better than anyone else.

Ingun was dying. His life seeped out like sand through his fingers. It wasn’t just a trauma – his very soul was damaged. Almost all the threads connecting his soul to his body were torn.

Recovery magic was useless here. Regardless, Felicia began to frantically chant healing spells. Unfortunately, no changes have occurred. Seeing that Felicia’s magic was powerless, Caitlin cried even more.

– W-what happened? Felicia whispered. There was no answer, and the elf closed her eyes tightly.

– What happened here!? – Felicia shouted loudly, and tears gushed from her eyes, – Green Wind! Green Wind! You know? Answer me! Green Wind!

She screamed desperately, turning around, but there was still no answer. The White Eagle lay lifeless next to Ingun. Felicia had always felt the power of the Green Wind, but now she was gone.

– Sis, what should we do? Caitlin asked. Felicia had no answer to that question. With trembling hands, she touched Ingun’s cheeks and muttered:

– Shutra, this is Nuna. Open your eyes, Shutra. Shutra!

He defeated Archilich Schutenberg and blocked the black sun. Ingun always managed to create some kind of miracle, and therefore she thought that this time she would see his smiling face.

“But why? Why?”

Felicia’s body was seething with magical power. This was the result of a reaction to her deep despair and anxiety. If this continues, then Felicia herself may be in danger.

Locke and Chris, who were trying to stay calm, wanted to say something, but Carrack beat them to

– Calm down. Calm down, princess, “the orc said, taking Felicia’s hand.

Felicia looked at Carrack through tears, and the orc smiled at her.

– The prince is still alive. He’s not dead yet. And he won’t die so easily. I’m feeling it. A princess can feel it too, can’t she?

“K-Royal Knights,” Felicia nodded. She understood what Carrack meant. Caitlyn was linked to him with cannonballs, however Felicia was a member of his Royal Knights, so Carrack’s words were true. Shutra is not dead yet. He was alive. And stubbornly held on to his life.

Ingun did not give up. So Felicia couldn’t give up either. Somehow she needed to bring him back to life.

Caitlin also tried to stop crying, and Carrack, taking out a handkerchief from somewhere, handed it to the girl.

Chris, who was not a member of the Royal Knights, quickly asked his comrades if there was any way to fix this.

Anastasia, who came late to the group, saw Ingun, almost stopped breathing, and Baikal closed her eyelids tightly.

Felicia was desperate to find a way. The first thing that came to her mind was two saints. They could work miracles using the power of the gods… Perhaps this power could save Shutra?

Turning, Felicia looked at Zephyr. His face was much darker and darker than usual. Seeing this, Felicia remembered the identity of the 2nd Prince.

“No, it can’t be…”

Did Zephyr use this opportunity to let Ingun die? And now he was going to just stand and watch?

It was a very bad idea that she refused to believe. She wanted to keep hope. Zephyr closed his eyes and Felicia opened her mouth to try to appeal to his feelings. But at this very moment…

– I know a way to save the prince.

– The Duke’s Sword! – simultaneously exclaimed Sylvan and Chris.

Ishgard looked exhausted from the attack on the black sun and was in a much weaker state than usual. He was coughing up blood every now and then, which made his lips bloody too. Taking a breath, Ishgard said with some difficulty:

– However, I’m not the one who can do this. Even the Dark Saint cannot resurrect the 9th Prince.

The Duke’s sword witnessed everything that happened here. Ingun took control of the black sun. This mass of energy was significantly weakened by the Duke’s Sword, but still remained destructive enough to send everyone who was here to the next world.

However, the soul of Ingun himself suffered as a result. There was now a large hole in it that could not be healed with simple restoration magic. Since Ingun was descended from the Gandharva deity, the divine power of other gods here could not help him much. It wasn’t just healing some wound… Moreover, using a different divinity would most likely only worsen his condition.

– I have a plan, – said the Duke’s Sword, leaning on his blade. It was difficult for him even to speak, let alone to move – I think the princesses understand.

There were very few explanations, but people close to Shutra guessed what the speech would be about. Both Felicia and Caitlin knew about the secret of Ingun’s birth, and therefore immediately understood everything.

– Go to the Gandharvas. Only they can save the prince.

It was the Gandharvas who planted the seed of divinity in Inguna. Thus, they must have a way to restore the Shutra’s divinity. Just as the Duke’s Sword finished speaking, Zephyr suddenly reached out to Ingun. Locke and Chris reacted immediately, but luckily it wasn’t offensive magic.

Zephyr’s magical power engulfed Shutra’s body. Felicia looked at Zephyr and muttered hesitantly:

– Zephyr?

Hearing Felicia’s worried voice, the 2nd Prince frowned even more and explained:

– This is magic that stops time. This is just a temporary measure, but she should buy him some time.

A smile flickered across Caitlin’s face. Felicia bit her lip and looked at Zephyr. She felt ashamed that she doubted him. Despite everything, Zephyr was still Ingun’s brother.

Chris still strongly doubted the nobility of the 2nd Prince, but Baikal was very happy. It was gratifying for him to see that his blood brother took such an act.

Locke, meanwhile, looked at Zephyr with rather complex emotions. He, too, was not completely sure of this man’s true intentions. Before the 2nd Prince activated his magic, there was a strange glint in his eyes. Perhaps at first he did not prepare the magic of stopping time at all, but just the attacking one.

However, he did what he did, and therefore Locke did not comment on his guesses.

– Sword of the Duke, do you know where the gandharvas are kept? – Anastasia inquired cautiously, who recovered slightly after she heard that there was a way to save Shutra.

Hardly anyone knew the location of the Gandharvas, especially given the fact that they were imprisoned by the Duke’s Sword itself.

– I know. We will not be able to get there in the usual way, so I will conduct… Kha-kha… – the Duke’s Sword coughed, answering the princess’s question.

During the battle with the Winter King and trying to suppress the black sun, Ishgard spent all his energy. Although his condition was not as bad as that of Shutra, the flow of his Aura was also mixed and imbalanced.

The Duke’s sword stood with great difficulty even on his feet, so he simply could not quickly lead the group to the right place. However, he was the only one who could take his comrades to the Gandharvas, and therefore Chris and Sylvanas could not afford to offer him a break.

“No, there is another person who knows about the location of the Gandharvas,” Karrak suddenly said.

Everyone immediately turned to the orc, who was pointing in the direction of the succubus girl running in their direction. Felicia and Caitlin immediately recognized the face.

Nayatra.

It was her…
