CHAPTER 1: WELCOME

In the elven village inside of ten-Finger Mountains place where the group of Choi Han currently resting themselves after the fight between Arm Rosalyn suddenly feel something weird.

"I can't feel the mana," Rosalyn said.

"Wha-"before Choi Han finishes his sentence a bright light suddenly flashes to their eyes and suddenly warped them around.

After Cale manages to balance his plate and prevent his death, He is now preparing to finish the aftermath of the battle in Gorge of death when suddenly a bright light flashes to him.

"Human/Cale!!!" said the kids and right after Cale disappeared the sudden bright light flashes before them again and warped them around.

After the flashy incident, the first guest arrived at the place who know where. The guest was surrounded by multiple seats like what have a cinema has and a big black screen in front of him. The guests did not know how he arrived or what he is doing here but he is sure in one thing this work of the gods.

"Hmmm..." Cale Henituse or who is currently Kim Rok Soo wandered his eyes around the room, he discovered that the room is divided into three parts, and for him to not be confused he will be called the left side, side A and the right side, side B. After naming the portions his eyes suddenly stop where he finds a medicine kit and healing potions that are on standby. He thinks that the person who brings him here is expecting them to tend to their injuries while staying. Before getting the materials a sudden word is projected on the screen.

"FEEL FREE TO TEND YOUR INJURIES"

He was right and he is back again to his business to tend to his injuries after fighting monsters on his duty. After he heal himself a sudden flash inside the side A appeared.

"Where am I and who are you?!" said the newly arrived guest Kim Rok Soo guessing that this is his past self.

"Calm down, I am Kim Rok Soo and I did not also where we are right now," said Kim Rok Soo

"Now who are you?" asked Kim Rok Soo he just thinks that he needed to do it to avoid any issues even if he knows who is this person in front of him.

"I am Cale Henituse" said Cale. After telling the situation to Cale he calm down himself when suddenly the door in side A opened loudly and greeted them by the raging Choi Han.

"You?!, why is a trash like you is here are you the one who made this?!" said Choi Han while running and attempting to attack Cale out of nowhere when a sentence flashed again to the screen.

"NO VIOLENCE"

After seeing this a barrier suddenly pops out and protects Cale from the attacks of Choi Han. Choi Han still does not budge to stop attacking Cale even after the threat and there is a sentence again flashes to the screen.

"I SAID NO VIOLENCE!"

Kim Rok Soo and Rosalyn know that this sentence tells them that the person who brings them here is angry.

"Choi Han stop!" after Rosalyn saying these Red strings suddenly appeared and bind Choi Han to put him in place.

After the commotion, Kim Rok Soo invited Cale to his side to comfort the young one but he will ask first if that was okay.

"Is it okay If Cale can be here with me?" Ask Kim Rok Soo to the person who brings them to the place where they are right now.

"It is okay for me but consent Cale first if he wants to"

After seeing the response of the person who brought them Cale just slightly nodded his head and currently walking where Kim Rok Soo is sitting as if there was nothing sort of wall that divided the area earlier. A few moments passed a sudden flash of light again appears and brings a lot of people now. There are the Crown Prince Alberu, The Henituse Family, Elves, Dark Elves and Mary, Whales, The Jungle, Tooka and Harol, Crown Prince Valentino, Duke Fredo, Clopeh, Bud and Glenn, and lastly the Dragons.

"Your Highness are you okay?" asked Rosalyn to Alberu.

"Yes I am Okay but do you know where we are right now Miss Rosalyn? And why the Hero Choi Han is in that state?" Ask Alberu

"Ahhh, currently we did not have any information about where we are right now and for the case of Choi Han he angered the person who bring us here by attacking Cale Henituse out of nowhere." Said Rosalyn.

After hearing this the Henituse family finds Cale immediately where they find him talking to another person that they did not know. Deruth doesn't know what he feels after hearing the explanation of Rosalyn.

"Cal-"he tried calling Cale and if he was okay when suddenly a man with the same hair and eye color as Cale appeared in front of them. He is wearing black pants, a turtle neck shirt, and a blazer with a cup of coffee in his right hand.

'He is wearing modern clothes and who is he?' thought Choi Han.

"Welcome to my domain and Cale nice to see you again," said the person who brought them here.

"Who are you and why did you know-"Cale was unable to finish his sentence when Choi Han suddenly shouted.

"Who are you?!, Where are we and what are trying to do wi-" Choi han did not finish his sentence because the man who bring them here looked at him with bloodshot eyes with a terrifying aura.

<" You! The person who beat up my niece last time and also on this timeline. I am trying to be nice here even if I don't want to so if you don't want to experience my rage and destroy your world in advance right now behave your fucking self my niece finishes his question. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"> The person suddenly releases more of his aura that even the dragons can feel it. Others are currently on their knees because of the excessive aura that this person releases when suddenly they heard Cale speak to the man.

"Umm, Uncle Reid?" ask Cale to the person.

<"Oh! Yes, Cale, I am your Uncle Reid do you perhaps remember me now if still not I am the second eldest of your mother Jour. I am the person who visits you two in the garden when you are a child, do you remember?"> said, Reid.

Many are shocked that this person is connected to the trash especially the Deruth who did not know that this person is his in-laws. He only knows that Jour's sibling is currently on an expedition where he first visits jour in their house. Only at their wedding is the chance for Deruth to see Jour's siblings and other close relatives.

"Jour's brother? But you did not look like his brother when we meet at our wedding" said Deruth.

<"You!!"> said Reid with his aura. They felt the aura again as it is going stronger than before.

"Uncle Stop!" said Cale.

<"Huuu, thank yourself that Cale stops me or else"> said, Reid.

"Uncle," said again by Cale to his Uncle.

Reid clicked his tongue, in the annoyance that he cannot deal with Deruth right in front of Cale.

<"Don't think you can get away from me after what you did to Cale, I will deal with you later don't forget that Deruth"> said, Reid. It is clear to them that this person is angry with Deruth and their Hero Choi Han.

<"Moving on, to answer the question of your so-called "HERO" I bring you here today to react or gain information from the parallel world that you are currently in to avoid the incoming destruction of your world. I did not want to do but we don't see Cale and those innocent people suffer. Don't worry the time in your world is currently frozen or stop and->"

"Stop?! No one can stop time and what are you a God?" ask Eruhaben.

<Aaargghhh!! Don't interrupt me while I am talking!!"> said, Reid

"I apologize, so?" said Eruhaben

<"Ahh! I forget don't to introduce myself because of those shitheads. Anyway, I am Reid Thames the second son of the Thames Household of the Roan Kingdom before. And don't' worry about it Eruhaben"> Said Reid

"Roan Kingdom?!" said lock.

"So? You are a person but no person can do this." Said Alberu.

<"You are truly smart Alberu even though it was obvious that we are not simply humans because there is no mortal who can do it aside from us and the gods. You can say that we are currently under the level of gods in a hierarchy but in terms of power we are almost the same."> said Reid to Alberu.

'The Thames household, what kind of household they are really.' Alberu thinks after hearing that they are from the Roan Kingdom.

<"Don't worry about the time stop thing, that is the work of Chronos, the God of Time. That man loses his bet to me and this is my reward after winning. Before I forgot you will see the person who stops the destruction of their world and his comrades. Also, the person who is behind the destruction of the worlds, But don't after this your group are the only one who can remember all of the information."> Said Reid.

("Oh! I almost forget about you Cale or should I say, Kim Rok Soo?") Said Reid to Kim Rok Soo to his mind.

("Nice to see you again uncle and thank you for the things that you give to me. Also please give my regards to the family.") said Kim Rok Soo in his mind while smiling at Reid.

Reid gave Cale and Kim Rok Soo the ability to talk to each other in their minds for convenience. Seeing the interaction of the two the TOAH people thinks that this person who is on the side of Cale does have a connection to Reid.

<" I will leave for a moment and for the parallel world of yourselves to come out and villains in your both worlds before we start. This place has invisible walls that divide the room for me to guaranty your safety. Anyways Goodbye"> said, Reid.

Rok Soo suddenly thinks that if side A is the ruined world then side B is where the original Kim Rok Soo is currently living. Having these thoughts after the disappearance of Reid the tension between the people of side A starts to subdue and also the red strings that tie Choi Han disappear as well. After of few minutes of waiting the door of Side B opens and they see the first person from that side to appear.

"Where are am I?" said TCF Choi Han who is currently surveying the room when he suddenly stops when he sees his parallel self. He is speechless about what is currently happening. Observing the faces of the left side of the theater he sees his liege with some person that is new to him.

{I will be using TBOAH and TCF to differentiate each of them to avoid confusion}

"Cale-nim!" said tcf Choi Han who hit his head on the invisible wall. He immediately releases his aura to strike the wall and this makes side A prepare themselves when suddenly a sentence appears on the screen.

"NO VIOLENCE"

Tcf Choi Han calms himself and waits for his family to arrive as well because he knows that he is not the only one who experiences this mess. While tcf Choi Han calm himself tboah Choi Han is shocked by his other-self.

'He is stronger than me and why did he just trash. Cale-nim?' thought of tboah Choi Han while observing his parallel self.

'He is well equipped, less tired and seems well cared unlike his other self' thought of Rok Soo while observing tcf Choi Han.

Another person who came in it is the tcf Crown Prince Alberu. He immediately notices the presence of his other self and the presence of tboah Cale.

"Cale!" tcf Alberu immediately call him to know if he is already ok but he immediately stopped by tcf Choi Han.

"Your highness that is not Cale-nim," said tcf Choi Han.

After the appearance of tcf Alberu, one by one the parallel of themselves starts to appear and also the people who are already dead in their world.

"Wait is that Taylor and he is walking?!" asked tboah Cage

"Wait my brother is still alive there?" asked tboah Witira.

'I hope I can talk to him even if they came from a different world' tboah Witira thought while looking at his brother.

'Wait was it supposed to be the dead sun-god twins?' thought Rok Soo while gazing at the appearance of the people from side B.

'There are much more and stronger compared to the side A' Rok Soo added.

{For the name of the kids I will stay calling by their names without tboah and tcf because you know the children in the other world is......}

"Choi Han and Crown Prince," said Raon.

'Wait, is that a dragon? Wow! Choi Han has a dragon companion.' Rok Soo thought while looking at the little dragon that approach tcf Choi Han and tcf Alberu.

"Where is human Choi Han?! I cannot feel his presence. Human!! Human!!" Said Raon.

"Kid Calm Down we will see him again just wait and be patient." Said tcf Eruhaben.

"Eruhaben-nim is right Raon-nim we will see him again," said tcf Choi Han. Right after Raon calmed down a sudden loud sneeze was heard across the theater.

"Acchhooo!" said tboah Cale and suddenly he felt cold out of nowhere.

After hearing that the people of side B turn their gazes to tboah Cale and

"Cale/Young master/Human/Cale-nim!" said the people of side B.

"Wait! He is not the Cale that we knew" said alberu.

The people of side B slowly calm down as tcf Alberu explain the situation.

During their discussion, the people of side B notices that someone is walking towards them wearing his commander uniform. He is completely healed and you will not notice the suffering that he just experienced a while ago. After reaching his destination everyone felt relieved that they see him again.

"Human/Cale/Young Master/Cale-nim!" everyone in the side B greets him.

'What the heck?' Tcf Cale thought. He wandered across the theater he have an idea that the other side is the TBOAH world when suddenly his eyes shake slightly when he sees the original Cale Henituse in his previous body.

<" Hi again everyone"> said Reid who is still now holding 4 cups of coffee in his hand and hand each coffee to his precious nephews.

After the appearance of Reid, he explains again the situation to the newcomers.

<" You are here to react and get some information about their world"> he points to side B.

<" and you are here to know a lot more about your lovely commander that sacrifice himself every time">. Said Reid while recalling the events that tcf Cale do to endanger his life multiple times.

"Commander?! That trash is a commander?!" said the bystanders.

Tboah Alberu and tboah Choi han did not expect that Cale Henituse will be a commander in the parallel world?

'Wow! Commander he is the Commander there' Rok Soo thought while looking at tcf Cale that is currently sitting on his side with his 3 children.

"Don't call Cale-nim trash" tcf Choi Han gave the person who calls Cale a murderous look while tboah Choi Han cannot believe his other-self.

'Why is he like that? He is much stronger and happier than me what would be the change he experience that I did not experience.' tboah Choi han thought.

After some briefing, he then teleports the villains of both sides.

"Yes, he is the North Eastern Commander that led numerous victories on our current war. Why? Do you have any complaints?" said tcf Alberu with a smile on his face.

The people who questioned tcf Cale avoid the face of tcf Alberu. They know that there are from a different world but they cannot still help to question why tcf Cale the commander. They also confirm that there will be war soon based on the statement of tcf Alberu to them.

<" Okay! Everyone is here now so shall we start?"> said, Reid.

("Is it okay to you to do this they will know about your true self?) Reid ask tcf Cale which made tcf Cale just shrug his shoulder.

("It is okay to me especially I think this is a right time to know it.") Said tcf Cale to Reid.

Reid knows that behind that stoic face tcf Cale is nervous on what would the expressions of his current family to his situation. Tcf Cale readied himself on what would happen after they knew that he is not the true Cale Henituse. Will they rage or what he doesn't know? He is afraid of the fact that there are chances that these people will abandon him after knowing the truth.

<" For all of you to know who is the one who changes the future for side B and will change the future of this event is not happen may we call on my nephew Kim Rok Soo to introduce himself"> said, Reid.

Everyone in the room is shocked that this person who is on the side of tboah Cale and tcf Cale is his niece.

"Hello everyone, I am Kim Rok Soo formerly known as Cale Henituse." Said Rok Soo as he ignored the gasps that he heard on both sides.

"I made a deal to the God of Death for me to change the future of my world. I am the ONLY one who made the deal. I and the God of Death are the only ones who know the deal. Your Cale Henituse is just dragged by my selfish reasons." Said Rok Soo as he pointed on tcf Cale on side B.

"Don't call yourself selfish nya~" said Hong.

"Yes, the human said that everything has a reason," said Raon.

"Thank You?" said Rok Soo.

"Ah! I am Hong! And this my Noona On!" Hong cheerfully said.

"I am Raon, Raon Miru and I will allow you to call me the great and mighty being on his name," said Raon.

Kim Rok Soo slightly chuckled at the reactions of the children.

"Yes, yes thank you Hong and Raon," said Rok Soo while petting their heads.

"I think it is now my turn," said tcf Cale.

"Hello, my name is Cale Henituse formerly known as Kim Rok Soo. I am just sleeping on my day off and the next thing I know that I am currently possessing the body of Cale Henituse." Said tcf Cale as he immediately sit down for him not to see the reaction of his new family.

'Cale-nim is Korean?' tcf Choi Han thought while remembering what Raon said that everything has a reason so he decided not to pry more and just wait on what would happen.

"It is alright human you are still our human whoever you are," said Raon.

"My dongsaeng is right Cale nya! You are still the one who saves us and that is more important." Said On.

Tcf Cale is happing that the children accept him so he decided to pat their heads and give them some treats during this if it is possible.

"It seems that I am the last one," said tboah Cale.

"Hello, my name is Cale Henituse from this side." Tboah Cale said while pointing to side A.

As the trio finishes their introduction Reid starts to talk again.

<" And now that introduction is done we will now proceed on the program."> said, Reid.

CHAPTER 2: SPENDING MONEY LIKE A MADMAN

<" And now that introduction is done we will now proceed on the program."> said, Reid.

<" Ah! Before I forgot there will be some people who will join you reacting today."> said, Reid.

With a simple snap of Reid's finger, multiple individuals appears in front of them.

<" They are the Ancient Power of tcf Cale and he is quite special because he can hear them talking in his head after acquiring them"> Reid said while looking their shocked faces.

"What they can talk? That was impossible. My ancient power can't talk to me" tcf and tboah Bud said.

<" Did I just say that he is quite special?"> Reid said and just made both Bud shut their mouth to avoid to anger the said being.

"Wait why are so many of them?" said, Cale.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you unlucky bastard," said, tcf Eruhaben.

"Why did he have that? That supposed to be mine!" said, tcf White star.

Most of them turn their heads to see who said it and it was from the villain side of side B the tcf white star.

"First come first serve" Blood drenched rock simply said.

<" Priestess may you do the honor to start the introduction?"> said, Reid.

"Okay! But after this can you give me some food because I am currently hungry right now." Said, Glutton.

<" No worries about that, then shall we proceed?"> said, Reid.

"Hi! I am the indestructible shield of tcf Cale" said, glutton

"Hi, *hick I am *hick the vitality of the heart of tcf Cale." Said, crybaby.

"Wait! Why does he have tboah Taylor Ancient Power?!" shouted by tboah Cage.

"Just wait I know that will explain later," tcf Taylor said to tboah Cage knowing what happen to his other-self.

"Does the vitality of the heart is Healing Ancient Power?" asked, tcf Eruhaben.

"Yes, Eruhaben-nim why?" said, tcf Cale.

"Did you get it first or not?" asked, tcf Eruhaben.

"I acquired it after getting the indestructible shield at the puzzle city," said, tcf Cale.

"So that is the reason why you are not exploding even if your plate is weak." Said, tcf Eruhaben.

"What? Exploding are you talking about goldie gramps?! Human you cannot die if you die I will destroy the world!" said, Raon.

'Vicious' tcf Cale thought.

"Don't worry Eruhaben-nim help me to balance my plate." said, tcf Cale while patting the head of Raon.

"Hi, I am the Sound of the wind of tcf Cale" said, thief.

"Hi, I am the Dominating Aura of tcf Cale" said, dominating aura

"Hi! Khakhakhakhakha I am the fire of destruction khakhakhakha" said, cheapskate.

"Hi. I am the Super rock of tcf Cale." Said, Super Rock.

"Hi! F*ckers F*cking nice to meet you all! I am the Sky eating water that tcf Cale recently acquired." Said, crazy kid.

<" Don't worry the swear words are censored to the ears and eyes of the kids."> said, Reid.

Tcf Cale felt some relief hearing that. He cannot imagine if the children start swearing, as he also did not want to have a long conversation with Ron and Eruhaben-nim every time they heard the kids swearing.

'I will never let them swear and prevent them from catching my bad habits' tcf Cale thought.

"Hi, I am the Blood-Drenched Rock that tcf Cale will acquire soon." Said, Blood drenched Rock.

"Hello everyone! Hello to my cuties!" said, Jour.

"Jour?" said, both Deruth.

<" Shut Up the fuck up there Deruth."> said, Reid while glaring at Deruth.

"Mother?" said, Rok Soo and tboah Cale.

Rok Soo felt happy after seeing again his mother even though he is currently with his mother in his own world. Meanwhile, tboah Cale is shocked that his mother has an ancient power and currently trying to stop his tears to fell down after seeing his mother again after how many years.

"Yes! I am your mother cuties! I am the former owner of the annual rings of life, Jour Henituse. That my cutie will acquire in the future" said, Jour.

<" Now that you know the ancient powers of tcf Cale I will give tcf Cale some present to you prepared by yours truly."> said, Reid.

With a snap of finger tcf Cale eyes slightly shake while looking at the two individuals that never been in his life expected to see again.

"You punk are you not greeting us and just standing there?" said, Lee Soo Hyuk.

"Did you not miss me? Your Hyung?" Choi Jung Soo teasingly said.

"Wait how?" tcf Cale asked while looking at Reid with his eyes shaking by the sudden appearance of his [hyungs] two idiots in his life.

<" Well you will see each other again in the future it just I want you to meet up much earlier."> Reid casually said to tcf Cale.

("Well did you not miss them?") Said, Reid to tcf Cale.

("Yeah I miss them, thanks,) Said, tcf Cale.

After hearing the reply of tcf Cale, Reid just smiles at him with a look of 'no problem'. Seeing this sudden event unfold the people of Side B look at tcf Cale. They are now thinking who these people are to their human/guardian / liege / young master.

"Wait how? Is that all you can say after seeing each other again haaaa." Soo Hyuk said.

<" Soo Hyuk and Jung Soo why don't you introduce yourselves to them to minimize their curiosity?"> Reid said.

"Right! I forgot about that, Well I am Choi Jung Soo. We are from Korea where this punk came from." Jung Soo said while pointing to tcf Cale.

'Choi? Is he a relative or not' both Choi han thought while looking to Jung Soo.

"Oh! Uncle, you are here!" Jung soo said.

"Uncle? What do you mean by that?" Cale asked Jung Soo which Reid immediately answer.

<" Choi Han is paternal uncle once removed of Jung Soo so he called him Uncle. Also, I just give them the necessary information and even though Jung Soo did not call him Uncle tcf Choi han will still know. Regarding tboah Choi Han well, I don't know if you will know about it."> Reid said.

"Hello everyone I am Lee Soo Hyuk former Team Leader of Kim Rok Soo or should I say Cale Henituse?" Soo Hyuk said.

"Oh! There are other 2 here the original and soul partner of Cale! Well, it is good because I will have more dongsaeng!" Jung Soo said.

"Who is your dongsaeng?!" tboah Cale said to Jung Soo

"Awww, Hyung look they are the same as Cale?" Jung Soo said to Soo Hyuk.

'Why is he like this? Is he not angry that I took the life of their friend for my selfishness?' Rok Soo thought.

On the other hand, Soo-hyuk sees Rok Soo with a concerned look on his face.

"Hey, whatever thing you are thinking right now, it is not your fault and Jung Soo is right I am now happy that there will be another dongsaeng on my care." Soo-hyuk said to Rok Soo while putting his hands on each shoulder of Rok Soo and tboah Cale. Cale felt warmth, he felt happy that there will be someone who will be concerned on him but he did not just want to admit it.

"Also did you not see that Cale there is currently with his new family? And also you did you not happy with your new family?" Soo-hyuk said to Rok Soo.

"So what are you looking at did you not miss us hmm?" Soo Hyuk said to tcf Cale while spreading his arms as if he was initiating a hug.

Tcf Cale just walked towards them and hugged his hyungs that he truly miss without any concern in his surroundings. Most of the people from side B were shocked by the actions of tcf Cale they see him acting like that. They know that tcf Cale misses these two, so they decided to know his past to know him more and for them to make him smile more.

As the newcomers settled on their seats Reid starts the program.

<"So today I prepare some good starters for all of you. It is one of my favorite scene that my nephew do."> Reid said.

"Wait, nephew? Why? I am not the true Cale henituse at all." Cale said which was immediately refuted by Jour.

"Little cutie you are my now even if you are not my true son I will recognize you to be one ok? And it is good that I 3 sons now right Reid?"> Jour said while waiting for the confirmation from Reid.

<" Yes, you are right and Cale no matter who you are we recognize you as a Thames as soon as you transmigrate in that body. So don't hesitate to seek us for help we will be always happy to help you."> Reid said to tcf Cale. Which made tcf Cale happy but he did not want to admit it, instead he just slightly nodded.

'Cute' everyone thought while looking at tcf Cale.

"Hmm? Is my brother shy? What do you think tboah Cale?" Rok Soo teasingly asks tboah Cale.

"Shut Up, then Uncle please continue," tcf Cale said while hiding his blushed face from embarrassment.

<" If you say so my nephew, moving on this will about how he gets the Fire of Destruction. For those who knew already, I am warning you NO SPOILERS okay?"> Reid said with his smile on his face that undoubtedly makes you shiver.

<" Ah! These will not good for those who are weak hearted so brace yourselves."> Reid said.

"What do you not for weak-hearted?" tcf Jack politely ask.

<" No worries there will be no blood spree or what it is just you will just shocked from his actions"> Reid said to calm tcf Jack which made tcf Jack less worried.

'Why do I feel bad about this?' tcf Alberu suddenly thought but he immediately erase that idea and will just wait for what will happen.

'Wait, really that trial is the first one? Well, I don't think there will be any harm from this.' Tcf Cale thought.

<" So does everyone here ready? Then let's start."> Reid happily said.

SPENDING MONEY LIKE A MADMAN (CHAPTER 109 – 110 SCARY PART 2 & 3)

'I am now sure that there will something else behind this title.' Tcf Alberu thought.

"Wow I like to meet that madman," both Bud said which made both Glenn smack their heads.

"Bud shut up!" both Glenn said to their respective Bud.

Early morning a few days later, Cale was climbing the third peak of the Ten Finger Mountains with only Raon by his side.

"Human! Taking a stroll is fun!"

'A stroll my ass.'

"Young master what are you doing to the mountains at that time and why you did not let you accompany me on your trip? Tcf Ron calmly said with his benign smile on his face.

'Vicious old man' is the only this tcf Cale can think about tcf Ron right now.

Cale wiped the sweat off of his face as he used the Sound of the Wind to quickly climb the mountain.

These peaks were called the Ten Finger Mountains because they resembled fingers. This meant that the third and eighth peaks were the tallest. These two peaks were so tall that the peak was covered by clouds and snow did not melt until the middle of summer.

'But that peak is melting.'

The final ancient power was the, 'Fire of Destruction.'

Other people would not know about it yet. This ancient power would melt about half of this third peak in two weeks.

"What?!" some of the elves from tboah and tcf were shocked by this revelation.

"Human! It is hot! What is this?"
"Aigoo."

Cale groaned as he reached the top.

"Isn't this lava? I read about it in a book! It is hotter than the fire in the Jungle! It is an interesting power!"

Lava appeared in front of Cale and Raon. It was not huge, but still a decently large lava pit. Of course, this peak was not a volcano. However, this lava was melting the mountain. They could feel intense heat radiating from the fire.
But Cale was feeling less of it thanks to the necklace with the Fire Suppressing Water, as well as the Vitality of the Heart. He looked at the center of the lava pit.

"Ha!"

He couldn't believe it. A golden pig sculpture was spinning in circles in the middle of the lava pit.

"Raon."

Cale called out to Raon, who was staring at the interesting sight in front of him. Raon could see Cale holding his magic bag open in front of him.

"What is it, human?"
"Hand over the money."

Raon blinked a few times before putting the silver coins in Cale's bag.

Cale slowly started to smile. It had been a while since he did something this refreshing without harming anyone.

Showing off your wealth was best for stress relief.

"Harming anyone? What do you mean by that?!" tboah Choi Han glared at tcf Cale but tcf Cale just ignored his rambling.

<" You! Just shut up your fucking mouth I am still not finished dealing with you!"> Reid said to tboah Choi Han. While tboah Rosalyn and tboah Lock calm down tboah Choi Han.

"Wow, I am jealous I wish I can say that also in the future" Jung Soo said while clingingly hugged tcf Cale.

"Why am I feel that this is somehow connected to me?" tcf Alberu said which made tcf Cale flinched remembering that the money he threw was from the crown prince but he decided to not bring it up.

"What do you mean your highness I cannot fathom what are you talking about?" tcf Cale shamelessly replied tcf Alberu.

'Yes, ignorance is bliss' tcf Cale thought.

'This shameless bastard, after this I will truly make you my Prime Minister.' Tcf Alberu thought while looking at the head of tcf Cale.

While Soo Hyuk and Rok Soo look at him with a 'this bastard/punk really do something crazy' look.

"Ha, hahaha!"

Cale started to laugh out loud.

"...Human, why are you laughing?"

Raon moved backward. It was not because Cale was laughing. It was odd to see Cale laughing like this, but it was nice to see. However, what Cale started to do was odd.

Clang, clang.

Cale grasped a fistful of silver coins and threw it into the lava.

"Human! Do you know how many chicken skewers! How much candy?! Human, why are you doing this?! Tell me if you have any issues with me! Human!"
"Hahahaha!"

"Hey what are you doing?!" Rok soo ask tcf Cale on his action.

"Just watch" tcf Cale calmly said.

Cale was not listening to Raon. At that moment, something weird started to happen.

Ooooooooong.

They could hear a noise as the silver coins did not melt and started to rise up from the lava to create a path.

The former owner of this ancient power was a greedy and wealthy warrior.
This last ancient power required money to get.

It really felt nice to spend money like it was water.

"Hahahaha!"

Cale laughed out loud like a hero as he continued to throw silver coins in front of him and into the lava. A silver path made of money was slowly starting to form.

– I didn't expect for someone like you to appear!

"Yeah, we also did not expect that someone sane will be doing that kind of thing." Tcf Bud said.

Cale could hear the voice of the owner of the, 'Fire of Destruction.' The voice sounded like it was looking at a crazy person.

Claaaaaaang-

The silver coins continued to fly like snow.

'Ah, this is bliss.'

It was even better since it was someone else's money. He would never get a chance like this again.

"Yes, let's throw it all!"

"Hyung you say that it was not your money so is it from the Henituse treasury?" tcf Basen calmly asks tcf Cale.

"No worries that are not from the family either so relax." Tcf Cale said to assure tcf Basen which made tcf Basen either relax or anxious.

"If this from me I swear after of all this I will make you my Prime minister." Tcf Alberu said while glaring at tcf Cale.

Silver coins continued to fly as Cale grabbed handfuls and threw them toward the golden pig sculpture.

"T, this can't be! I don't know how to feel! I shouldn't feel this way! But this is so refreshing to watch!"

"Oh my God Raon-nim is catching up the traits of young master Cale" tcf Tasha said.

The 5-year-old Raon fell into a state of chaos. Cale didn't care as he watched the silver coins float up to create a path for him.

The, 'Fire of Destruction,' really couldn't be called lava or fire. It was more of a, 'liquid flame,' since the fire was in a liquid-like state.

< The, 'Fire of Destruction,' that appeared on the third peak of the Ten Finger Mountains did not go out until it destroyed the entire peak. Nobody could do anything about it until an Elf that had a Fire Elemental earned the ancient power. >

People did not earn this power the proper way in the novel. However, Cale knew the proper way to earn the power after reading about it in the novel.

"Well, no one is someone sane thinks that throwing money is the right way to obtain the ancient power" tcf Bud said to tcf Cale.

Which made tcf Cale just shrug his shoulder and choose to ignore Bud.

"Wait so there no one will react about the "Novel" thing?" tcf Archie ask.

<" Just wait and you will know everything soon."> Reid Said to assure them.

< However, people did not think about throwing money into the lava. This flowing fire could not burn money. >

Why, you ask?

– I haven't felt this feeling in a long time! Ah, the smell of money!
It was because the owner of the ancient power was crazy about money.

– Keep on throwing the money! I haven't seen anybody other than my crazy friend waste silver coins like this! Muhahahaha!

"Hahaha!"

"Crazy Bastard" tcf and tboah Alberu said in unison which made them look at each other with a little nod and smile.

Both Cale and the owner of the ancient power were laughing. Silver coins continued to fly into the lava as they laughed. Raon took his piggy bank out of his alternate dimension and held it close. He looked back and forth between Cale and his piggy bank with a serious expression.

"What are you looking at?"

Cale looked odd as he suddenly stopped laughing and stoically stood there. A path of silver coins was shining on top of the boiling lava. That silver light meshed well with the red-haired Cale.

"Weak human."
"What?"
"Let me know if you don't have enough! I am willing to give you my piggy bank!"

Cale snorted. Cale would never steal money from children. He didn't enjoy snot-filled money.

"Hey! My money is snot-filled human" Raon said while holding his piggy bank.

"Yes, yes and I am sorry," tcf Cale said while putting some coins on the piggy banks of the children.

Without tcf Cale knowing many people from both sides look at how adorable their interactions are.

– Money! Let me smell more of the scent of money!

Furthermore, he had two hundred thousand of these silver coins, courtesy of the crown prince.

"WHAT?! HEY!" tcf Alberu just called tcf Cale out loud without any care about his surroundings.

"ARE YOU INSANE? HA? EVEN IF I AM THE CROWN PRINCE I DID NOT HAVE UNLIMITED MONEY FROM MY TREASURY!!" tcf Alberu said to tcf Cale.

"That is not my problem your highness and it is not my fault if you give me those things because of my deeds." Tcf Cale shamelessly said to tcf Alberu.

"You are truly shameless. Forget about the prime minister position because one day my treasury might be drained because of you!" tcf Alberu said.

"Young Highness the sun of the Roan Kingdom the sun that will shine even the depth of the nights. How I could I a merely noble to do that thing to you your highness?" tcf Cale said.

"Shut. Up." Tcf Alberu said while glaring at tcf Cale.

"As you say, your highness." Tcf Cale happily obliged to tcf Alberu.

"Wow, you are so shameless. Is that how the transmigration affects you?" Jung Soo ask tcf Cale which made tcf Cale ignore him.

"Here."

Cale looked like a very benevolent person right now.

< Most importantly, that Elf was not able to take control of the full, 'Fire of Destruction,' and considered it to be a useless power. However, the Elf would have regretted it later if he knew that he would have been able to get closer and closer to the full power of the, 'Fire of Destruction,' if he was willing to spend a lot of money. >

The warrior who was the former owner of the, 'Fire of Destruction,' was said to be very greedy for money. He didn't want power or fame, living in poverty during his childhood made him want money above all else.

– I wanted to be able to throw money away like trash like this too! But those damn bastards stole it all! My money, as well as my friends' money! Those sons of bitches! You cruel bastards that treated us like slaves!

The golden pig started to swear profusely. Cale did not pay any attention to it as he started to walk toward the golden pig.

"Haa, so annoying."

Cale was now taking out entire bags of money and just pouring it in front of him as he walked.

Many of them are still shocked by the events that are currently unfolding on there that made them speechless.

– Y, you wonderful human being!

The voice of the former owner was shaking.

Ooooooong- ooooooooong-

Cale started to smile. The golden pig sculpture was shining even brighter now.

Siiiiiizle-

A red vapor started to rise from the lava. Raon flew up higher in order to avoid the vapor. It was vapor that had fire inside of it.

Paaaaat.

The Indestructible Shield and its wings covered Cale's body.

'This is no better than manual labor.'

"Haa... I am now done dealing with you." Tcf Alberu said that he will now give up understanding tcf Cale from now on.

'What is he talking about?' tcf Cale while looking back at the screen.

Cale was getting tired of this repetitive procedure. Even throwing money around got boring after a while.

Cale clicked his tongue and started to pour the money even faster. He was able to soon arrive in front of the golden pig sculpture in the middle of the lava pit, as the pit was not very wide.

"Mm."

The voice started to speak again once Cale was in front of the sculpture.

– I approve of you! You have the right attitude to gain this power! If it is you, if it is someone like you who is willing to throw money away like this, you will be able to overcome every obstacle in your way!

The owner of the ancient power had approved of him and was telling Cale to grab the pig sculpture. However, the owner of the ancient power could only speak in disbelief after seeing Cale's next actions.

– Hmm?

Claaaaaang. Claaaaaang.

Cale took out even more silver coins.

"So many."

He was still far away from using all two hundred thousand silver coins.

"Oh my god PLEASE! Stop! The ancient power already acknowledges you!" {It is now in your imagination who said this line hahahahaha}

"What?! You are planning to dump all the two hundred thousand silver coins on that pit?" tcf Bud asks tcf Cale.

"Umm Yes why?" tcf Cale said without knowing what is wrong with that.

"Crazy bastard" tcf Alberu said.

Even the other royalties is shocked about his action. Yes, they are royalties from different tribes and nations but they will not waste that large sum of money. On the other hand, there are some people felt that they are poorer than before after watching this even though most of them are nobles.

– M, my goodness! I've never seen such a crazy person before! You must be an angel!

"No, he is not an angel HE IS A DEVIL." Tcf Alberu refuted the statement of the ancient power. While the other people especially on side b just laugh at the current situation of tcf Alberu.

"Devil me? What do you mean by that your highness?" tcf Cale asks tcf Alberu.

That statement just made tcf Alberu sigh as he realize that there will be no cure to the obliviousness of his commander.

"Tsk tsk you are truly Unlucky Bastard." Tcf Eruhaben said to tcf Cale.

The owner of the ancient power could not hide his admiration. The pig sculpture started to vibrate even stronger the more the owner shouted with joy.

Ooooooooong.

The entire peak started to shake.

Siiiiiiizle. Siiiiiiiiiizle.

More of the red vapor started to rise into the air and headed toward the pig sculpture. Cale did not care about any of this, as he continued to pour out all two hundred thousand silver coins with indifference.

– ......

The owner of the ancient power was now at a loss for words.

"See even the ancient power is lost at words on your actions," tcf Bud said.

Cale straightened his back after finally pouring out all of the silver coins. He was sweating.

"This is hard work."

"Young master your hard work really has a different meaning," tcf Rosalyn said.

"That is not hard work you just poured out the money." Tcf Alberu angrily said.

"Your highness that is hard work," tcf Cale said.

"Your highness that kind of hard work is the hard work that you will never understand." Said by tcf Choi Han.

"Yeah you are right uncle," Jung Soo said.

"I feel kind of pity to the crown prince handling my troublemaker dongsaeng." Soo Hyuk said while looking pitifully to tcf Alberu.

"Haaaaa. Thanks for the sympathy but what done is done I will just think about some countermeasure if he does it again in the future." Tcf Alberu said while looking at tcf Cale. On the other hand, Tcf Cale felt shivers from his spine and he thinks that he will just ignore those stares that are focused on him.

"Eruhaben-nim is right, you are truly an unlucky bastard," Rok Soo said.

"What?" tcf Cale replied.

Cale looked toward the shining pig sculpture as he said that. The red vapors were surrounding the golden pig sculpture.

– I approve of you. I debated it for a while, since I felt my friend's power on you.

'Friend's power? Was he friends with the thief that was the owner of the Sound of the Wind?'

Cale felt like he learned something useless again. He then started to frown at the owner's next words.

– There really are no normal people who own ancient powers. Here you go! Take it! It is the power to destroy everything! Of course, the money is mine.

"Hey I am normal though!" both Bud shouted to tcf Cale after hearing that statement.

"You are the Mercenary King and you are claiming to be normal?" tcf Alberu said.

"Oh."

The ancient power started to float toward Cale. The golden pig sculpture that was surrounded by red vapor was now in front of Cale's nose.

'He's cheaper than I expected.'

"CHEAPER??!! So how much is expensive to you ha?" tcf Alberu said.

"Haaaa. I felt that I was so poor even though I am royalty." Tcf and tboah Witira said that most of the nobility in the room easily agreed.

He didn't know that this would happen with only 2 billion gallons.

"Hahahahahaha only 2 Billion gallons he said hahaha," tcf Bud said.

"Human I think that person does have some loose screw like crazy Clopeh and I worry about the state of the crown prince."

"Dragon-nim I did not have loose screws. I am completely normal though." Tcf Bud said while the other looked at him with unsure gazes.

"Thank you for your worry Raon-nim but I am okay I just need more time to calm down though." Tcf Alberu said to lessen the worry Raon.

Cale slowly reached his hand out toward the golden pig sculpture. He would have powers for defending, regenerating, escaping, and attacking once he got this power.

At that moment, the owner started to speak again.

– It's interesting that you are in the land of boulders but do not have the corresponding ancient power.

'Boulder?'

Cale flinched.

– To be honest with you, money isn't the only thing that I couldn't destroy. There is a boulder that I could not destroy as well. I will share this information with you since you helped me resolve my resentment.

It was a hint about another ancient power.

'...But I don't need it.'

"I highly doubt it young master," tcf Rosalyn said while smirking.

"I agree to the words of noona young master-nim" tcf Lock said.

Cale was fine with what he had already. He also had the Fire Suppressing Water and the Dominating Aura. There were probably no other human beings who had so many ancient powers.

"Yeah and that was the reason you are currently writing a history right now young master" tcf Litana said.

'What a vicious thought and writing history? That was a threat to my dream to become a rich slacker.' Tcf Cale thought.

"Yes, she is right Cale-nim is truly a legend and I am happy to walk with the legend with me." Tcf Clopeh said. While his counterpart thinks why he is like that and legend did he just say that tcf Cale is a legend?

'I need to watch how he ends up in that kind of situation and how he will assess the actions of tcf Cale to the path of being a legend.

Most of the people from side b looked at Clopeh with a sneer on their faces while listening to his talks about tcf Cale being a legend.

(Uncle is tcf Clopeh Sekka is really necessary here?) tcf Cale ask Reid which made Reid nod as a response to the question of his nephew.

– The king of rocks, the Giant Cobblestone that is known as the, 'Super Rock,' is in the land of boulders.

Cale's expression did not seem to be good as he heard about the land of boulders, the Roan Kingdom.
Why did it have to be a Giant Cobblestone? Cale had a bad feeling about this. Cale did not respond to the ancient power who did not say anything else, and just touched the golden pig sculpture.

Siiizzle.

Cale's hand touched the vapor, but he did not get hurt.

Ooooooooo-

The tips of his fingers touched the pig sculpture. A mix of gold and red light rushed toward Cale.

– Use it to melt anything in your way. You will survive through the pain.

The voice of the ancient power's owner slowly disappeared. Cale lifted up his shirt to see that there was now a rose gold thunderbolt on the silver shield on his chest.
Cale was relieved.

'It's not a pig.'

"It was really your worry at that time?" tcf Alberu ask tcf Cale with a tired look and tone.

"Yes, your highness it is not nice to see if there is a pig tattoo on my chest." Tcf Cale said with his stoic face.

The pig sculpture earlier was cute, but he didn't want such a tattoo. Cale reached his hand out.

"Ooh!"

Raon was amazed at what was happening.

Siiiiiiizle-

A loud sizzle noise appeared as the silver coins disappeared into silver vapor.
At the same time, the red lava sizzled and formed into an orb in front of Cale's hand. Cale clenched his hand into a fist, as if he was trying to grab the orb.

Paaat.

The lava orb disappeared with a quiet noise. Only a wide pit was left on top of the third peak.

"Human, is that power from earlier yours now?"
"I guess so?"
"You are as strong as half of my pinky toe now! You are now a very extremely tiny amount stronger."

Cale smiled after receiving Raon's approval. A cool breeze swept past him. Now that the heat from the lava was gone, the top of this peak was returning to being cold.

<" And that's it! Now I will give you time to rest yourself physically and mentally especially you tcf Alberu."> Reid said to tcf Alberu.\

"Thank you for your concern and I think I really need to process these things. Also, I need to rest because I know that there will be more of these.

<" Ok if you say so then I will all leave you first and when I come back we will return the show"> Reid said and after it he immediately leaves to take out some important matters.

Author's Note:

Hi! And shit 5500+ words??? Really?? Hahahahahaha. Sorry again for the grammars and such. The suggestion may be a specific chapter or Arc. So yeah! See you again Next Time!!!!!

(Word) when someone is using telepathy

CHAPTER 3: SPENDING LIKE A MAD MAN 2 (A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT 3-5)

<" I am back, so let's continue the program?"> Reid asks.

<" Oh! I almost forgot this chapter is also not safe for weak-hearted"> Reid said. Most of them flinched while remembering what they witness in the last chapter.

"Is there any "Safe for weak-hearted chapter there?" tcf Taylor Cautiously asks.

"Wait how many chapters are there and is there no safe for weak-hearted chapter there?" tcf Bud added.

<" Well there are 776 Chapters here but don't worry we will not react to all of them."> Reid said while looking at their flabbergasted expressions.

"776 Chapters? That many?" tcf Cale asks while looking at his uncle to say that it is not true gaze.

<" Well you are the person who we are talking about here Cale and to answer the question of tcf Taylor I think there are some but it depends on what chapter you will pick. So is there any more question?"> Reid said while waiting for them to ask a question before resuming the program.

<" I think there is none so let's continue."> Reid excitedly said.

'Why uncle suddenly felt excited about this' tcf Cale said while looking at his uncle who is truly excited about this.

CHAPTER 3: SPENDING LIKE A MAD MAN 2 (CHAPTER 274 - 276 A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT 3-5)

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Sorry for my impudence Sir Reid but is this true that there will be part of that event or my eyes are joking with me right now?" tcf Alberu asks. While the others silently agreed to tcf Alberu because most of us are still processing or cannot get over on the previous chapter and here we are watching to unfold the second part of it?

<" Yes tcf Alberu that is why is there anything wrong?"> Reid calmly asked tcf Alberu who is currently thinking if it is alright to change the current chapter and just get to it after watching a light one when suddenly tcf Cale speak.

"Uncle, my beloved and respected Uncle the one who truly cherishes us his nephew will you allow us if I make some suggestion?" tcf Cale said to his Uncle Reid.

<" Cale doesn't use that glib tongue of yours to me because there will be no effect that on me okay? But I will let hear your suggestion, my dear nephew."> Reid said to Cale while smiling.

"Human, your Uncle is smiling like how you are smiling when you are trying to scam someone," Raon said.

'I guess we are truly relatives' tcf Cale thought.

"I know that there is a reason why you are excited about this but can we watch first some light stuffs for them to process a little more what they witness earlier?" Tcf Cale ask while the other people of both sides looked at him with some sparkle in their eyes.

<" Okay I will be considerate but only this once okay?"> Reid said while looking at tcf Cale because how can he refuse his nephew right?

"Thank you for accepting my request uncle," tcf Cale said.

<" Okay so now wait for me here and relax there is food at your respective corners and you can ask Lee Soo Hyuk, tcf Cale, Kim Rok Soo, Choi Han, and Choi Jung Soo about the foods from Korea. Glutton ask Cale for some recommendation and you will not regret it." Reid said to everyone while leaving them to the Koreans.

15 minutes have passed and there is still no sign of Reid returning they are all full even the villains after hearing the suggestions of the Koreans. As they continuously eating they did not sense that Reid is back with some cups in both of his hands.

<" Well how was it?"> Reid asks while looking at everyone who can only nod their heads as a response.

<" Well I am happy to see that you are enjoying so Soo hyuk here is Coffee as a token of your hard work while I am gone."> Reid said.

"Oh! Thank you but don't mention it." Soo Hyuk Replied.

<" Then here is the Chocolate drink for Rok Soo because I know that you develop your sweet tooth after transmigrating and for tcf Cale, Jung Soo, tboah Cale, and Choi Han."> Reid happily said.

"How about the other-self of mine he also helps us don't worry I also protect tboah Cale to avoid some fight between them," tcf Choi Han said with his pleading gaze. That looked made Reid click his tongue and give another chocolate drink to tboah Choi han.

"Thanks..." tboah Choi Han said.

<" Before we proceed I made some little game anyone can join even the villains I am not that bad to leave them right?"> Reid said while showing his innocent smile.

'Ha...' They are truly the same tcf Alberu thought while looking at Reid and tcf Cale.

<" There rules are easy if someone gets the closest number to the correct answer on their guess will take the prize. The prize is I will let you eat some much foreign food from the dimension the Koreans came from. Also, Rok Soo, Tcf Cale, Soo Hyuk, and Jung Soo are banned for this game. Any questions? So let's start."

"Wait Sir Reid why are we also banned from this game we also want to join!" Jung Soo whined at Reid.

"Jung Soo, I know you want to join I also want to join but reading the instruction I think there will be no more winners if we join them okay?" Soo Hyuk said to the whine of Jung Soo.

<" So here is the question "How many books of record in the Mercenary directory can tcf Cale read in a week?"> Reid said as he looked at the shocked faces of both Bud.

"Wait the directory? There are many records there and it is impossible to read and remember the things that are recorded there." Bud said.

"Ah! So that is the reason why" Soo Hyuk said while looking at tcf Cale, Rok Soo, and Jung Soo. Knowing that they also already know the reason.

"Huh? What is it can share with me?" tboah Cale asks.

"Later and you will know why," Rok soo said.

<" before I forgot the directory contains 45, 000+ records so Good luck, and let's start!"

"What that many?" most of them exclaimed as well as tboah Cale while looking at tcf Cale.

During the commotion, tcf white star started to think if his identity will be revealed or not and if tcf Cale found any clues about the true reason for the directory.

RECORD HERE RECORD THERE RECORD EVERYWHERE! (CHAPTER 359-361 NO THEN WHATEVER PART 1-3)

"I'm going to turn the lights on."

Cale then heard a click and slowly started to see a large area.

Flash. Flash. Flash.

The lights started to turn on one by one.

They had crawled through a small tunnel in order to get to this large area.
Cale stood up.
He then looked around.

"...A library."

"Wow it is so huge right Oraboeni?" tcf and tboah Lily said while looking at the screen with amazement in her eyes.

"Yeah you are right, I could not also imagine how much information is stored there," tcf Basen said while tboah Basen nodded at the statement of his parallel self.

He could hear Choi Han's voice behind him.

"Amazing."

Beacrox who was mumbling to himself had even forgotten to brush the dust off himself.

"...Ho."

The ancient Dragon sounded amazed.
Cale left those reactions behind him as he started to walk.

Tap. Tap.

The ground was made of stone.
Bud Illis started to speak once Cale got a good look around the area.

"I believe that this is the Mercenaries Guild's greatest pride and joy."

"Yes of course it is!" tboah Bud shouted with pride in his voice.

He laughed as he introduced the area to the group.

"This is the Eastern continent's first and greatest record library."

This area looked large enough to fit multiple houses.
This whole place was filled with books.

Preservation magic was cast on them so that they were maintained in the best condition.
These books all recorded just one thing.

"This is the record of strong individuals the Mercenaries Guild has collected for hundreds of years."

Strong individuals.
The first Mercenary King and the first Mercenaries Guild started to record information about strong individuals in order to survive.
Bud Illis approached Cale and continued to speak.

"I did call it the records of strong individuals, however."

The Directory.

The reason these records were important was not just because of the information on strong individuals.

"You can actually call it the history of the Eastern continent for the past 1,000 years."

This area was filled with tens of thousands of books.
Humidity, temperature, preservation, and security. All of these spells were cast on the books in this records library.

The Mercenary King smiled and asked Cale a question.

"What do you think? Do you think you can find the information you are looking for here?"

Tens of thousands of books.

The group looked at Cale and the Mercenary King.
Their expressions did not look good. Even the ancient Dragon seemed a bit upset.

Tens of thousands of books.

They needed to find information about that reincarnator, the White Star, in these books.

It was at that moment.

"It's been a while."

"What did he mean it's been a while?" tboah Cale asks Rok Soo.

"Just watched and you will know how amazing our dongsaeng is" Soo proudly says while looking at tcf Cale.

'I am not that amazing it is you and Jung Soo are amazing' tcf Cale thought while watching on the screen.

The Mercenary King could see a bitter smile appearing on Cale's face.
Cale started to laugh as he continued to speak.

"It really has been a while."

His cold gaze was slowly looking through the numerous amounts of books in front of him.

"What's been a while?"

Cale responded to the Mercenary King's question.

"I expected this. 1,000 years' worth of records should at least be this much."

The area with the Directory.
Cale thought it was obvious that a significant amount of information would be present.

Cale brushed his hand past his eyes.

"I'll need to record for the first time in a long while."

"Record?" tcf Choi Han asks while looking at tcf Cale.

"Based on your reaction it seems that you are excited about recording all of that?" Soo Hyuk said to tcf Cale with amusement in his eyes.

"No! I'm not!" tcf Cale immediately refuted.

Small laughter is easily heard throughout the theater especially on the side of the TCF world.

"Young Master Cale did not change." Tcf Rosalyn said while tcf Cale not noticing his ears are turning red because of embarrassment.

"Um... Did I hear it wrong or "recording all of that?" is what you said? Is there any human capable of doing that?" tboah Rosalyn asks.

"Yes, there is but Just watch. I do not want to spoil any spoilers" Jung Soo said.

"Wow team leader Jung Soo is growing up!" tcf Cale said.

"Yeah, he is" Soo Hyuk immediately replied.

"Hey!" Jung Soo immediately chimed in.

"Now now nephew let's return on watching him?" tcf Choi Han said.

Kim Rok Soo had noticed something odd when he had first woken up as Cale Henituse.

He remembered.

Even though Kim Rok Soo had transmigrated into Cale Henituse's body...
For some reason...

Kim Rok Soo remembered all of the contents of < The Birth of a Hero > until volume 5, as well as the rest of the information he had recorded.

Those records had not been erased even as time went by.
Even the conversations he had with everybody since living as Cale had not disappeared from his mind.

These memories that a normal person would have long forgotten about...

He remembered everything he wanted to remember.
No, to be more specific, they had been recorded.

Kim Rok Soo had realized it when he realized that fact.

'My brain has come here too.
No, a portion of my ability has come here.'

"What? No wonder I remember all of it" tcf Cale said.

"What is ability is he talking about?" tboah Eruhaben asks.

"Abilities is like a superpower of each individual have since the start of cataclysm.

"I and Jung Soo have an offensive ability while Rok Soo and tcf Cale has a support Ability." Soo Hyuk gently explained to them.

Cale brushed his eyes once again.

Cale Henituse's eyes were reddish-brown.
Kim Rok Soo's eyes were reddish-brown as well.

Kim Rok Soo, Grade 1 Ability User.
First brain-related special ability, 'record.'
Medium to use ability, 'eyes.'

His eyes slowly took in the large number of records. He started to walk toward the tens of thousands of books as well.
Cale faced a familiar sight for the first time in a long while as he unbuttoned the first button of his shirt.

His mind always heated up when he recorded things.
He had unbuttoned the top button in order to help with the stuffiness.

That was Kim Rok Soo's habit whenever he worked.

"...You're going to go through all of these?"

The Mercenary King urgently chased behind Cale, who was heading toward the center of the area that was full of thousands of books. He seemed to be nervous.

"Cale, I remember what you told me when you made me the offer."

Bud Illis recalled the things Cale told him the first time they met.

"You asked me to show you the Directory."

The Directory was not a file that even the Mercenary King could easily show others. However, he still brought Cale here, even acting stealthily in the process.
There was a simple reason for it.

"You said you needed to know the White Star's history."

"My History?" tcf White said in low voice.

Cale turned his head and looked toward the Mercenary King.

The Mercenary King flinched.

It was because Cale's eyes did not look human for a moment.

"I miss those eyes looking at me every time you are working," Jung Soo said.

"Weird" tcf Cale said with a disgusted face towards Jung Soo.

They were cold and emotionless. It was as if he was looking at an object.
However, those thoughts quickly disappeared once Cale started to speak.

Cale had not told the Mercenary King much information about the White Star. However, it was time to share some details.

"The White Star is a reincarnator who has gone through many lives for approximately 1,000 years."

"Hmmm, so he is a reincarnator" tcf Cale said.

That was enough.

"No it was not we are not good as you to deduce such things you know?" tcf Bud said.

Cale confirmed the Mercenary King's expression changing before turning back around and heading toward the records.

Bud just blankly stared at Cale's back.

Pat. Pat.

He only returned to his senses and started to speak after the ancient Dragon patted his shoulders before walking past him. The ancient Dragon was approaching Cale.

"...Eruhaben-nim, are you saying the White Star is someone who repeatedly died and was born again?"
"Yes. He reincarnated over and over."

Eruhaben looked toward Cale who stopped in front of a desk and was looking around before continuing to speak.

"That is why we came here to look for records about him. He should have left traces throughout the Eastern and Western continents during his reincarnations."

Bud quickly responded back.

"...There's no way that we have no records on such a strong individual."

However, Bud's lips opened and closed a few times without saying anything before he stopped hesitating and continued to speak.

"However, it is close to impossible to find traces of him in these tens of thousands of books."

"Ha! Your efforts will be just wasted hahaha" tcf White said while laughing.

As the current Mercenary King, he had the most knowledge about these records than any other living being.

"Each book has hundreds of people listed in it. It is ... Almost not realistic to go through hundreds of thousands of individuals."

He peeked toward Ron Molan before continuing to speak.

"Of course, I have a good knowledge of all of the strong individuals in the past fifty years. Those are considered the, 'currently recording,' information."

Ron Molan was an example of a strong individual from the Eastern continent whose traces had disappeared.
That was why the Mercenaries Guild was keeping his record under the, 'currently recording,' status.

"...Around two hundred years might be doable, but a thousand years is just-"
"Bud."

Someone cut him off.
It was Cale.

"Where is the first-ever record?"

"There is no way to stop him?" tcf Alberu said.

"There is no way especially if he set it the things already." Soo Hyuk said while looking at tcf Alberu with pity on his eyes.

"Crazy Bastard" tboah Alberu said.

"Haaaaaaaaa."

Bud sighed at Cale who seemed ready to start looking from the first-ever record. He quickly walked over to Cale.

"Cale, are you planning on spending the next few years in here? Hmm?"

Bud was getting frustrated.
He didn't understand why such a smart person would pick such a method.

"I'm sure it will be helpful to look up his past since the White Star is a reincarnator. However, there are 1,000 years worth of records."

Bud picked up a book from the bookshelf and opened it up.

"It has each strong individual's birth, date, and general information about their lives. Furthermore, we also record the powers they use. Each book has hundreds of such records."

Bud had felt like he was going to suffocate when he first became the Mercenary King and came in here.
He was overwhelmed by the information.

At the same time, it helped him understand how the Mercenaries Guild was able to remain a strong force in the Eastern continent without having any land of their own.

They had records that were just as valuable as land.
In some aspects, this was the scariest power.
That was the overwhelming nature of these records.

Bud started to point out the issues in Cale's plans one by one.

"Even if you start reading from the first record, it would be difficult to remember the first strong individual in the book by the time you are only a third of the way through it."

Even a person with a good memory would find it difficult to remember over thirty people's information.
Just looking through three of the books would make it confusing to remember which information belonged to whom.

"Furthermore, how do you plan on finding traces of the White Star? How will you be able to tell which strong individual was the White Star's first incarnation?"

Bud had smelled quite a number of scents coming from the White Star.
He had a variety of ancient powers like Cale such that it was difficult to accurately pinpoint everything.

"Plus, Cale, don't you need to quickly capture the White Star? What you are trying to do will require a bunch of people working nonstop for months, no, years to achieve."

"Capture me? HA! In your dreams!" tcf white star said.

It was impossible to just read and remember all of these records.
You had to divide up the task with others.

Bud then said the thing that confused him the most.

"I'm sure you know about this fact more than anybody else. So why are you doing this?"

Cale picked up the book that Bud pulled out and turned the pages.

Shhh.

The pages that were stiff like new books thanks to the preservation magic quickly turned one by one.
Bud who was watching this could not help but speak again.

"Cale Henituse, this-"
"It's fine for me."

"How it fine for you bastard," tcf Bud said.

"Cale-nim please rely on us as well," tcf Choi Han said.

"Ha! Ok ok I got it," tcf Cale said.

Bud flinched.

He was not the only one.
The rest of the group who were busy looking around at the area focused on Cale.
Bud asked the calm Cale a question.

"...What?"

'What did he just say?
He is capable of doing what I just talked about?
But how?
...I don't smell such an ability on him.'

Bud looked at Cale smile as Cale stopped looking at the book and turned back toward him.

"First, one week."

Cale did not plan on staying here for a long time either.

"I will find the first within that time."

"That is too short," tcf Valentino said.

"It is an impossible feat to do." Tcf Adin said.

The strong individual he believed to be the first incarnation of the White Star.
If he finds that person's birth and death, then he just needed to look for the next information based on the time of death.

Cale's group knew about the White Star's Dragon Slayer powers and ancient powers. Of course, Bud did not know the details because none of them had told him yet.
Cale's group had a decent amount of knowledge on the White Star's powers.
That was why it was possible to find the first incarnation.

"...How? How will you find the first incarnation?"

Cale chuckled while looking at Bud who was standing there with a blank expression on his face.
It was similar to the expressions people had when Kim Rok Soo had first awakened.

Kill or be killed.
Live or let live.

The war between monsters and humans.
The war between humans and humans.

It was a world full of destruction because of all of that.

Kim Rok Soo had been determined to have awakened an ability that was useless in such a world, an ability that would only help him in a peaceful world.

Many of them are shocked while looking at the monsters and the ruins of the other world. They saw how much they are fighting against those monsters. They also think that their Young Master Cale did not have an easy life even if in his previous life as Kim Rok Soo. Because of that, they noted to themselves that they will become stronger to protect Cale and for him to rely on them more.

Tcf Cale without knowing that these scenes will only fire up his allies and a sudden cold breeze brush on his back that makes him shiver.

However, that power allowed Kim Rok Soo to keep living without dying.
He confidently answered the confused Bud's question.

"Take a look."

He then asked.

"Where is it?"

Bud stood there quietly for a while before pointing to a location.

"The innermost shelf. The first book on the bottom left."

Cale walked toward the location Bud had pointed out.

"That book is the first record."

He heard Bud's voice coming from behind him as he pulled out the first book from the bookshelf. He then started to turn the pages.

Flip, flip.

Only the sound of pages turning could be heard.
Cale just stood there reading.

"...Ho."

Bud let out a gasp at Cale's actions. However, he made eye contact with the others before walking toward the innermost bookshelf as well.
He needed to help Cale.
He couldn't just stand there and do nothing.

However, the group of people heading toward Cale had to stop.
Bud was the first to stop.
Next were Eruhaben, Choi Han, Ron, and Beacrox.
Even the children averaging nine-years-old flinched.

Flip, flip, flip.

They just heard the sound of pages turning.
That was why they felt that something was off.

Flip, flip, flip.

It was quiet around Cale.
He was just quietly turning the pages.

That was the weird part.

Bud had no choice but to ask.

"...What is up with his speed?"

Flip. Flip.

At first, it didn't seem very odd.
Cale was turning pages at a reasonable pace.

'...It was as if he was reading a novel.'

Bud then realized that it had been weird from the beginning.

Flip. Flip. Flip.

"He flipped the pages of the book at such speed, are you reading it or just skimming it?" Tcf Eruhaben ask tcf Cale.

"I am reading it of course Eruhaben-nim." Tcf Cale immediately said.

Cale was slowly turning the pages faster and faster. It seemed as if he was just taking a peek before turning the page.
Bud even had this kind of thought.

'Is he not thoroughly going through and remembering the details about each strong individual?
Is he just quickly skimming through?'

However, the feeling Cale was giving off did not seem that way.
He seemed to be thoroughly reading.

"Cale."

Cale raised his head after hearing someone calling his name.
The ancient Dragon observed Cale's eyes with an odd expression on his face. Cale's expression was same, but his eyes felt cold.
The ancient Dragon could not ask many questions. He used his memory of everything Cale had done as the basis to ask.

"You're remembering all of it, right?"

'You're not just skimming it, you actually remember the information, right?'

Cale answered the ancient Dragon's question.

"Of course."

Cale answered in his usual nonchalant way before resuming reading. His reddish brown eyes looked at the text inside the book.

Flip.

He turned a page.
The information on the page became recorded in his mind. The speed continued to increase.

Bud could only quietly watch Cale.

'...What a scary ability.'

"A very useful and scary ability," tboah Alberu said.

"It also a curse." Tcf Cale muttered as he did not know that most of the people here have an enhanced hearing. As soon as they heard it from tcf Cale they turn their heads towards him. Tcf Cale turn around to know why they are so quite suddenly

'Why are they looking at me like that? What did I do wrong?' tcf Cale thought while returning his gaze on the screen.

"Unlucky bastard" tcf Eruhaben said to his child.

He thought that this ability was scary.
It was different than the fancy magic, destructive aura, and even the different types of ancient powers. This ability was something that was not visible.

It was so unnoticeable that you would not even realize that he was using an ability if you did not look closely.

It was not an ability that could kill someone, but Bud thought that this ability was really the one that would make it easy to kill or control someone.

Everything would be recorded in the user's mind.

Bud could only gulp and watch.
However, he soon heard someone walking.

"Cale-nim."

Cale raised his head after hearing the cautious calling. Choi Han was looking at him.

"What is it?"
"I wish to help."

Choi Han smiled awkwardly at Cale who was looking at him and continued to speak.

"Of course, I am a slow reader and my memory is not that good, but I thought I could still help."

Cale recalled some memories of his past.

'Team leader-nim, shall I help?'
'Isn't it time to go home?'
'Nah, it's okay.'
'Like hell it's okay. Isn't your kid waiting for you at home? Go home.'
'But...'
'It's fastest and most accurate for me to do it. You don't need to do this part.'

"Hey, rely on them and don't do anything by yourself. I know they are capable individuals and don't be shy asking for help sometimes." Soo Hyuk said while looking at comrades of tcf Cale.

"Okay, I will try," tcf Cale said.

The people of Side B are happy that tcf Cale will rely on them in the future.

He moved the conversation he had with one of his subordinates to a corner of his mind as he raised his hand.
He then pointed to the second bookshelf.

"I think it would be good to look through there."

It was rare for Cale to not give detailed orders.
However, Choi Han smiled and walked over to the second bookshelf. Eruhaben and Beacrox followed behind him.

Ron stood next to Cale and just looked at him.
Ron's gaze made Cale subconsciously start to speak.

"...What is it? Are you shocked that I have an ability like this?"

Cale closed his mouth after saying that. He was thinking that he said something he should not have said.
He heard Ron responding to him.

"Well, I'm sure you just hid it, young master-nim."

Ron had a benign smile on his face as he continued to speak.

"It's not like you told us how you gathered all of those ancient powers either."

The shield, the fiery thunderbolt, the Super Rock, etc.

Cale had never explained to the group how he had gained all of these ancient powers. He always just disappeared before returning with extra ancient power.

Cale had a random thought that it would be frustrating to have a group member like himself. The old man continued to speak as Cale found it even harder to say anything after having that thought.

"Looking at the books like the others is not my task."

Ron continued to speak to the twenty years old Cale who was quietly looking at him.

"I am your servant, young master-nim. Tending to your needs by your side is my role."

'But why did you leave me?' tboah Cale thought while reminiscing the moment his father figure left him for rascal who beat him up. Rok Soo and tcf Cale immediately notice how tboah Cale dropped his mood. The two immediately comfort him in their way knowing that soon he will be together with his mother.

Ron then just quietly stood next to Cale.
Cale quietly looked at Ron for a moment before turning back to the book.

"...I guess that is your role."

Cale also realized what his role was as well.

Flip. Flip.

He was quickly turning pages as he heard another voice.

"I, the great and mighty Raon Miru can read quickly! My memory is good as well! I am smart, great, and mighty! That is why I will do it too!"
"...I...I learned how to read from Hans and grandpa Ron! I'm going to do it too!"
"I'm already reading one!"
"Noona, you are amazing!"

"The children are so cute" tboah Tasha said while others just nodded as they are agree on the statement of tboah Tasha.

Cale chuckled while listening to the children averaging nine-years-old.

However, the large records library soon became quiet.

Flip. Flip.

Only the sound of pages being turned could be heard.
Cale then heard Beacrox ask a question.

"What exactly are we looking for?"

Cale thought about the White Star.

"Gather any record on strong individuals who use the Dragon Slayer's powers or ancient powers."

A response came from someone else.

"Is that power the Dragon Slayer's power?"

It was Bud. He touched his nose as he walked over to the second bookshelf.

"The White Star had a unique scent along with the scent of ancient powers. Then I should help as well."

Bud thought about the information he gathered on the White Star through his scent and turned a page.

However, there was a unique sound through the process.

Flip, flip, flip.

It was the sound of pages turning extremely quickly.
Bud imagined Cale becoming a living record as he focused on reading the record in front of him.

* * *

'Mm.'

Ron groaned internally.

This was an area where the temperature was maintained all the time.
There should be no reason for someone to sweat.

He moved his hand.
The handkerchief in his hand landed on someone's forehead.

'...Why is he sweating so much?'

"You are overusing it again." Soo Hyuk said to his idiot donsaeng.

"It is normal though." Tcf Cale said.

"Cale-nim..." tcf Choi Han said while looking at tcf Cale with his dejected puppy look. As tcf Rosalyn and tcf Lock see this they just soothed him knowing that tcf Cale is oblivious to his actions.

"Haaaa..." Soo Hyuk just sighs knowing that tcf Cale did not change his habit.

< "Okay so we are almost near for you to know the answer so now please write your answer on the paper in front of you and just drop it in the box that you can see on your left side. I give so many clues so I am expecting some possible winners.">

Most of them are already list their guesses and drop them in the box. While tcf Cale said to his three kids his guess and Rok Soo said his guess to tboah Cale knowing that tcf Cale said his guess to his children.

After a few moments, Reid will now announce the winner.

<" The winner is the Three Kids!!!"> Reid said while looking at three happily.

"Noona we won nya~!!" said Hong

"Hey, human we won!" Raon said while looking at tcf Cale.

"Yes, Yes but share your rewards ok? You don't stomach right?" tcf Cale said while patting their heads.

"Yes of course human! We will share it also with other humans!" Raon said while looking at tboah Cale and Rok Soo.

"Aww thank you Raon," Rok soo said while giving Raon some pats.

"How about us?" Jung Soo chimed in.

"Yes, Yes!" Raon said to Jung Soo. That made Jung Soo hug Raon.

"Hey! That's Cheating they ask tcf Cale for the answers!" tcf White Star shouted showing his displeasure to the children.

"Oh My Goodness! The reincarnator and the god want to be is only at this level. He even drop his pride just for food and he even accused the kids. He is so childish if I must say." Rok Soo said while pitying tcf White Star.

"What did you say!" tcf White star said while glaring and Rok Soo.

<" STOP! OR ELSE I WILL KILL YOU HERE IN MY DOMAIN."> Reid said while using his aura.

He immediately chained down tcf white star and make him immobilize immediately. Most of them even the dragons react to his Aura, some collapsed already because of too much pressure except for his nephews, the kids, Soo Hyuk and Jung Soo. They find Reid ruthless if you will be made anything that is not to his liking.

<" Yes, you are reincarnator but I can kill you here. Also, no one will be able to get out of my domain unless I give them my permission or I said it to them. So, even your physical body dies your soul will remain here who knows when. Don't forget that! I am not like you who just make childish threats so don't challenge my patience again."> Reid said while glaring at tcf White Star.

<" The children's guess is 9500! And the answer will be shown later so don't miss it out. Then shall we proceed?"> Reid said after removing his aura to relax the tense atmosphere that most of the experience.

"That many?!" tcf Bud shouted.

"I expect it would be hundreds but I would not think it will almost ten thousand." Tcf Bud continued while looking at tcf Cale with disbelief.

"He is a crazy bastard." Tcf Bud said before seeing his best friend calming him down.

'What is he talking about and that is normal for me I think.' Tcf Cale thought.

Ron Molan could see Cale who was sweating profusely.
Cale's face had become extremely red as well.

The records storage area was chilly, but Cale was heating up as if he was sick.
However, he did not stop and continued to record the information.

There were close to ten thousand record books behind his back as if they were his footprints.

Ron turned his head.

He could see the rest of the group laying down on the ground.
Beacrox, Choi Han, and the children averaging nine-years-old looked especially tired.
Only Eruhaben was still by Cale's side and looking through a book.

It was at that moment.
Someone entered through the library door.

"...It's almost been a week."

"What?! Did you not rest?" tcf alberu asks.

"Little cutie take care of yourself your family will be disheartened if you continue to harm yourself." Jour said to tcf Cale.

"Yes, I will" tcf Cale to assure his mother.

The tcf side is happy to hear that from tcf Cale and they also make sure to give him time to rest even if we are in the middle of the war.

It was Bud Illis.

One week.
That was how long Cale had been in this area.

Cale had been reading through the books here while saving the smallest amounts of time for necessities.

"How about you take a break?"

Bud could see that Cale was reading even as he was talking. It would be exactly one week in about two or three hours.

Bud had no choice but to be brutally honest.

"You couldn't find the first in the end."

The first incarnation.

Everyone started to frown.
Even the ancient Dragon stopped reading the book.

The White Star was said to have reincarnated for about 1,000 years.
That was how he was able to create the Dragon half-blood who had lived for 900 years.

'That means that the first incarnation should have appeared on the Eastern continent about 1,000 years ago.'

Eruhaben had already heard from Cale that the Dragon Slayer village was supposedly located in the Eastern continent's Castle of Light.

"Hmm... it seems I will see him in the future with my child." Tcf Sherrit said while glancing to the direction of tcf Cale and Raon.

Eruhaben who heard the reaction of lord sherrit immediately recognize her.

"You are the Last dragon lord!" tcf Eruhaben said. While tboah Eruhaben was shocked that the last dragon lord is still alive in the parallel world.

"F*ck! It is true" tcf Rasheel said while tcf and tboah Mila covered the ears of their respective child.

"Are you saying that this little one is your child?" tcf Eruhaben ask to confirm what he heard last time.

"Yes and it seems that in the future I will also be able to see him," tcf sherrit said while looking at Raon.

"Mo..m?" raon said while glancing to his mother at the back of tcf Cale.

'It seems she is the mother Raon especially the world tree said to me that I must find Raon's parents.' Tcf Cale thought while looking at this situation.

"Raon you can go and have fun at your mom first," tcf Cale said to Raon while patting his head.

"Are you sure human? Is it ok?" Raon asks Cale.

"Yes and don't worry Choi Han is here, also my uncle so there will be no way that someone or something can harm me." Tcf Cale said to assure Raon. Raon just nods as a response fly immediately to his mother.

In that case, there was an extremely high chance that the first White Star would have been recorded in the Eastern continent's strong individuals directory.

'We also looked two hundred years after that, just in case.'

However, there was nobody they suspected of being the first incarnation.
Of course, they looked at records of people who used ancient powers or earned them, but there was nobody in possession of any ancient powers with enough destructive powers like the White Star.

"Cale, think about it."

Bud approached Cale.

"The White Star must have hidden his powers. He survived for 1,000 years by pretending to be weak. That is how he avoided the Directory."

That was what Bud had proposed three days after they arrived here.

"Don't you agree? We only just learned about how he is a reincarnator or even his appearance for the first time in 1,000 years. I don't think looking through the Directory would help us learn about his past."

However, what Bud heard back was not Cale's voice.

Shhhh. Shhh.

All he heard was the sound of pages turning.

The Mercenary King could also see Cale's red face and the sweat on Cale's forehead and back.

"...Crazy bastard."

He ended up sharing his honest sentiments.
It could not be helped.

The Mercenary King had rubbed his arms that were covered in goosebumps quite often these past few days.
He could see the path that the quiet bastard had walked as he read.

He could see the large number of bookshelves behind Cale.
All of the books on these bookshelves had been read by Cale.

One week.

Cale had read 10,000 books while the others had managed to read two or three at max.
In fact, it looked more like turning the page was the thing taking the most toll on Cale.

'Is he human?'

This was not a human's level of memory.
Nobody could have expected that Cale Henituse had such an ability.

However, Bud could not understand why Cale was using such an ability for such a useless task.
It was at that moment.

"Human-"

He could see others slowly approaching Cale.
It was On, Hong, and Raon.

"Human, isn't it tiring? Should I give you an apple pie?"
"He's sweating so much."
"He can't faint again."

"Again? What is the meaning of this little cutie?"Jour ask.

"Cale-nim..." tcf Choi Han said.

"Okay, I will try not to faint again." Tcf Cale immediately answer.

The children averaging nine-years-old roamed around Cale with concerned expressions. However, they could not get right up next to Cale.
They could not easily approach Cale, who was reading even as he sweated so much.

"Huh?! Human!"

However, Raon suddenly charged toward Cale.
Cale had stumbled as he reached his hand toward the next book.

His body started to fall forward.
Cale was about to faint as his entire body was burning up.

"Human, human!"
"Young master-nim."

Ron supported the stumbling Cale. Everybody was shocked to see Cale stumble for the first time since they arrived here. Bud did the same as well.

Bud could see Cale looking at him as he stood there being supported by Ron.
That gaze made him subconsciously stop walking.

It was a chilling gaze.
It was an extremely cold gaze that was contrary to Cale's face that was red from heat and full of fatigue.
Those eyes looked at Bud as he started to speak.

"There are records of the past Mercenary Kings as well."

Bud nodded his head and answered back.

"Of course. We are strong individuals as well."

Bud could see Cale start to smile at that moment.

"It looks like there is nobody here that is suspected of being the White Star."
"I already told you that!"

"Ha! You just your time on Directory." Tcf Adin said while mocking tcf Cale.

"Useless effort," tcf White star said.

Bud thought that Cale had given up and continued on in a concerned tone.

"So get some rest now. You need to think about the future! Why would a smart person like you do such a usele-"
"Mercenary King."

Cale cut Bud off.

"Mercenary King? What about it?"

Bud asked back.

'What about the Mercenary King?'

"It's not there."
"Huh?"

Cale's smile started to grow wider as he looked at Bud.
He thought he figured out the identity of this Directory.
The Directory had a record of the majority of strong individuals on the Eastern continent.
However, the person who should have been on this Directory the most was not here.

"The first Mercenary King."

Tcf White star flinched after hearing the first Mercenary King from tcf Cale.

'There is no way that he found it already right?' tcf white star while looking at the screen.

"It seems I found it," tcf Cale said with amusement.

Cale thought about the person that should have been the easiest for the Mercenaries Guild to record when they created the Directory, but was not included.

"There's no record of the first Mercenary King."

"F*ck! How can I not notice that! Argghh I need some booze." Tcf Bud said while tboah Bud still looking at the screen with a shock.

Bud turned grim after hearing that.

He felt as if he had been smacked on the back of the head.
It was not something he had thought about until now.

"...Perhaps?"

There were records of Bud and the other Mercenary Kings.
Cale quickly responded back.

"The first Mercenary King. Who was he? What powers did he use?"

Cale's smile became bright.

"I feel like he is the White Star. Why is my intuition telling me that?"

The White Star would have come out into the world after destroying his village and killing his family and friends.
No matter how strong that bastard was, he would have been alone.
He would have needed some sort of foundation.

He would also have needed a job that he could easily start in his situation.

Being a mercenary.
That was a job that anybody could do.

It was especially easy for a strong individual to build a foundation through it.
Most importantly, there was no need to bring up his past or for it to be discovered.

And this Directory had no record whatsoever of the first Mercenary King.

The White Star.
If that bastard tried to hide himself...

"Where are the records of the first Mercenary King?"

Cale's gaze was focused on the current Mercenary King and the books behind him.

"...It is not here."

Bud could not hide his shock.

"It's not there. It's really not here."

Bud's pupils started to shake as he looked at Cale.

"There's absolutely no information. The title of first Mercenary King and his name are here, but that's the only thing here when the Mercenaries Guild system he created is still here after 1,000 years!"

Bud finally realized the odd situation.
A fact so obvious that he had not even thought much about it resurfaced in his mind.
He had looked for this information before.

"When I first became the Mercenary King... I found it odd. The first Mercenary King was the only one whose powers and details of his life were not recorded here!"

Bud brushed back his hair after feeling both frustration and a sense of clarity.

"That is why, that is why... That is why I! I contacted the city's library and libraries around the Eastern continent and asked for information on the first Mercenary King."

Cale, who was calm unlike the frazzled Bud, asked back.

"You asked, and...?"
"Ha!"

Bud let out a gasp-like laugh.

"Do you know what information I got?"

Although he was a sword master and the Mercenary King, Bud had always liked books since he was young and enjoyed searching for and thinking about things.
This was the information such a person had found about the first Mercenary King.

"The Great Mercenary King who created the large faction that managed to survive on the Eastern continent while many kingdoms rose and fell for 1,000 years. He was the role model for all mercenaries and the mercenaries did not hesitate to act on his behalf."

Bud scoffed as he continued on.

"That's all I found."

That was all of the information on the first Mercenary King throughout the entire Eastern continent.
Yet they had all of the other records of the beginning of the Mercenaries Guild.

"...I thought it was like this because he was a hero of legends..."

He looked at Cale who was smiling with a tired expression and continued to speak.

"He did it on purpose?"
"Who knows?"

Cale gave a short response back.

"I don't know. I don't know whether the first Mercenary King is the White Star or not. I don't have any definite proof yet. However..."

Choi Han chimed in at that moment.

"It is enough to be suspicious. The first Mercenary King is someone who suddenly appeared in the world."

"F*ck he did find out," tcf White star said while glaring in the direction of tcf Cale.

Choi Han had an odd smile on his face. Bud had a feeling that there was some sorrow in that smile.

Pat. Pat.

Cale patted Choi Han on the shoulder and responded back.

"It doesn't matter whether someone just suddenly appears in the world. Something like that can happen."

Choi Han's smile disappeared as he looked toward Cale. However, Cale was looking at Bud and the others as he continued to speak.

"However, the fact that there is absolutely no information on that person's history from that moment is definitely suspicious."

Choi Han could see Cale turn his head to look at him.
He recalled what Cale had told him before.

It was during the Henituse territory battle against the Paerun Kingdom.

'It's your turn.'
'...There was something for me to do?'
'Use all of your strength.'
'...Is this the new history you were talking about?'

"Umm... Sir Reid can I ask if we will also watch the Henituse battle?" tboah Alberu asks with worry.

<" Yes, of course, why not, I already arranged the arc or events that you will be reacting to but not in chronological order though but don't worry I will explain it to you. I am not evil you know."> Reid said while wearing his benevolent smile while looking at tboah Alberu.

Choi Han suddenly remembered Cale's response to his question. He clearly remembered it.

'Yes. It is your history that you will write here.'

Choi Han slowly started to smile.
Cale's eyes then naturally moved toward Bud.

"In addition."

The Mercenary King's mind was a mess because of the story about the White Star and the first Mercenary King.
He felt an odd chill after seeing Cale trying to say something else. That is why he said something first.

"I don't think you would have spent all week to figure this out about the first Mercenary King."

Bud gulped before continuing on.

"Right? That is something you could have figured out within 100 years worth of records, but you spent all week reading thousands of the record books. Why did you do that?"

The others agreed with the question and looked toward Cale.
They could see that Cale was still smiling.

"I think what I was about to say will answer that question."

Cale had continued to read through the records even while having this suspicion about the first Mercenary King.

It was because he found it to be weird.
He felt as if something was fishy.

"Do you really think this is just a space to hold the records of strong individuals?"

"Shit! Even the purpose of the Directory? He is good at deducing things." Tcf White star said.

A space with records on the Eastern continent's strong individuals.

"If, just if, the White Star really was the one to start this Directory..."

Then why did that bastard need to leave a record of the Eastern continent's strong individuals?
Why was this necessary even if he had the desire to make the Mercenaries Guild stronger?

The final Dragon Slayer.
Would the strongest human fear other strong individuals?

That question was what made Cale look through the records all week.

"I started to look at these records and the entire Directory in a different light."

The White Star.

One of the things he had done until now.
And a record of the Eastern continent's many strong individuals.

These two facts came together in Cale's mind to create a narrative.

"Humans are said to have heavenly luck if they manage to find just one ancient power. Apparently, that is how hard it is to find ancient powers."
"Ah."

Eruhaben let out a gasp.
He seemed to have realized something as well.

"There are records of the strong individuals who revealed the ancient powers they had."

Cale closed his eyes. The recorded information flew through his mind.
It was something that could be missed while hearing that it was a record of strong individuals.

Ancient powers were not most people's main source of strength.
However, information about them was included in this 1,000 years worth of records.

Cale had not read through all of them, however, this would be the only place with that much information about ancient powers throughout both the Western and Eastern continents.

"In addition..."

He slowly opened his eyes.

"The easiest way to gain an ancient power."

Bud suddenly felt his hair standing up.

"Is to kill the user and collect it before it disappears."

Bud repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists. His hands were about to go numb from having them clenched for too long.
Cale then asked him a question.

"The first Mercenary King would be able to sneak in here if he was alive today, right?"

Cale smiled as he pointed at Bud.

"Just like you did."

If the White Star was the first Mercenary King, he would have sneaked in here in order to check the information.

He did not need to come often.
He just needed to come maybe once every ten years, or maybe even twenty years.

He would just need to come find information on the people who possessed the ancient powers he needed.

"Ha, haha."

Bud thought he could tell why Cale was smiling.
He had the chills, but oddly, he continued to laugh.
He seemed to finally understand.

Bud quickly responded back.

"The White Star is trying to get my ancient power."

"Ha, hahahahahaha I need some booze I can't watch this while I am sober." Tcf Bud said.

"Me too! Hahahahahha" tboah Bud said and a short moment bottle of high-class wine is now in front of both of them. They just look at Reid and they see that he just smiling towards them They are grateful at that time.

The White Star is currently lacking only the Earth attribute of the five natural attributes.

"If he had my ancient power and these records, it would be much easier for the White Star to find that earth attribute ancient power."

'That is why...'

"That is why he tried to kill me. That is also why he is trying to have Arm gobble up the Mercenaries Guild."

The White Star who had not appeared for 1,000 years was not hiding anymore.
He was slowly showing himself.

"Because he is feeling a sense of urgency as well."

This time, it was Bud who pointed toward Cale.

"Because you appeared."

The White Star would have never seen someone like Cale before.

You needed heavenly luck to obtain ancient powers. It would be amazing if someone had two powers, but this bastard had over five.

He also had the Earth attribute ancient power that the White Star wanted.

"That bastard is probably thinking that he only has two options. Kill you and gain the Earth attribute ancient power, or be killed by you."

Bud thought he could tell why Cale was smiling. He opened his mouth to speak.

"He's panicking. You made the bastard become anxious."

Cale was smiling even though his entire body was covered in goosebumps.
Riding the line of life and death was something that Kim Rok Soo and Cale had been doing for over fifteen years now.

He opened his mouth to speak. His calm voice flowed out.

"Yes. Just like us."

The White Star was in a state of urgency just like them.

They each needed to kill the other.

Silence filled the library.
None of them could easily start to speak.

One thousand years.

Just thinking about the flow of events for that long period of time was giving them headaches.

Bud and Cale were looking at each other.

"Heh."

Bud let out a short laugh.

"I need some booze."

He then plopped down on the ground.
He was feeling frustrated.

It was a hypothesis.
It was a hypothesis that the White Star might be the first Mercenary King.
He needed to verify if this hypothesis was true.

However, he had an odd feeling that this was indeed the case.

"...Damn it."

Bud grabbed his hair with both hands. It was hard for him to suppress the anger and frustration building up inside him.

"Damn it!"

Nobody could say anything while watching him.
It was at that moment.

"...Haaaa."

Someone was breathing heavily.

"Young master-nim."

Ron, who was supporting Cale, looked at Cale's face.
Cale's face was red from overheating, his body was covered in sweat, and his breathing was heavy.
Ron looked at how Cale's wet red hair was stuck on Cale's face and handed him over to his son, Beacrox.

Beacrox helped Cale slowly sit down on the ground.
He then leaned his back toward a bookshelf.

"...Human."
"No..."

Raon and Hong approached Cale. On was already near Cale's leg and looking up at him.

Cale's eyes were half-closed as he breathed in and out. He looked extremely weak.

"...This is driving me nuts."

"I think we need some chat after this Young Master. This Ron is always worried about your health and just always intended that give the best as possible." Tcf Ron said with his benign smile.

"I also agree we truly need some talking while taking the break later." Tcf Eruhaben said.

'Sh*t that old man terrifies me then now Eruhaben-nim joined? Haaa... I hope I can survive.' Tcf Cale thought after hearing those vicious words.

Bud brushed his face with both hands after seeing Cale's condition.

He had not checked on Cale's condition because he was so shocked by the hypothesis.
No, he could have just ignored Cale's condition because the story he shared was so important.

Eruhaben wet a towel and handed it to Ron, who carefully wiped the sweat off of Cale's forehead.

"...Haaa, haaa."

Cale continued to breathe while feeling the cool towel on his cheek.
It was hot.

'Damn it.'

Kim Rok Soo, Grade 1 Ability User. 'Record' was the most well-known of his abilities.

His entire body, starting from his head, heated up every time he used this ability.
However, his mind was clear.

The side effects were mild compared to the other abilities that clouded a person's mind from overuse.

He closed his eyes.
He needed to organize the information gathered in his mind.

"...Cale-nim, I will take you outside."

Choi Han approached Cale, who had his eyes closed.

"Yes, let's finish the rest outside."

Eruhaben agreed with Choi Han. Choi Han tried to carry Cale who was quietly sitting there. Beacrox grabbed Cale's shoulders to help Choi Han.

"...Shit."

Bud who was watching this had a smile on his face as he cursed. He had no choice because these people who were most definitely more frustrated than he was were moving with the next steps in mind.

Bud stood back up as well.
He could not just sit here right now.
He approached Cale's group and started to speak.

"Let's just use magic to leave since it is fine if we get caught."

It was important to use this facility without being noticed, however, a person's life was more important.

"Then I, the great and mighty Dragon, will use teleportation magic! I'll help too!"

Raon seemed to agree with Bud as he moved his front paws forward as if he was getting ready to cast a spell.
Bud walked up next to him.

"Raon-nim, I will give you the coordinates."
"Alright, go ahead! Tell me the coordinates, alcohol-loving Mercenary King!"
"Yes sir, the coordinates are-"

It was at that moment.

"There's no need."

"You know I am you need to rely on them also right? They want to lessen your burdens and just accept their help ok? Also, you, rely on your team members as well ok?" Soo Hyuk said while ruffling the hair of tcf Cale and Rok Soo.

Some of them just looked at the three while enjoying their adorable moments.

It was a low voice that came along with a quiet breathing sound.
It was Cale. Bud subconsciously started to raise his voice.

"Hey, look at your condition before-"
"It's hot."

Cale ignored Bud and continued to speak.
Cale's actions that followed made Bud anxious.

"...What are you doing?"

Bud asked but Cale ignored him. It was annoying to respond.
Cale's shaking hands slowly started to move.

He then started to undo the buttons of his shirt one by one.
He needed to get rid of this heat in his body.

"It's hot."

"Yeah! You're Hot" some of the bystanders said while admiring the physique of tcf Cale.

'What the f*ck?' tcf Cale thought while watching at the screen.

Cale was mumbling that it was hot as he continued to undo his buttons.

Beeeeep- Beeeeeep-

A sharp alarm rang inside the library at that moment. Bud turned away from Cale.

"Human!"

The black Dragon's paws that looked ready to cast teleportation magic suddenly had a video communication device instead.
It was glowing red.

"Human! It's the crown prince!"

Cale's personal video communication device only glowed red when crown prince Alberu Crossman was calling.
Raon peeked at Cale's condition before continuing to speak.

"Human! The crown prince is calling! Should I tell him to call back later?"

Bud also peeked toward Cale before starting to speak.

"I'm fine even if you connect the call. We already decided to use magic anyway. But your condition is, mm."

Cale did not seem to be in a condition to accept a call right now.
However, Cale petted Raon, On and Hong on the head before starting to speak.

"Connect him."

Cale actually had something to say to the crown prince as well.

"Young master-nim."
"I will help you, Cale-nim."
"There's no need. I'm almost done."

Cale shook his head toward Ron and Choi Han.

'Damn it.'

He was getting annoyed because he was hot.

However, Cale was quite relieved as he undid his buttons.
He could not undo his buttons nor pull up his sleeves in front of his subordinates when he was Kim Rok Soo, no matter how hot and sweaty he became.

He didn't want to show them the scars on his body.
It's not like they were anything to be proud about. It would just scare the people who were doing the same jobs as him.

Cale looked down at his body that was now visible and started to think.

'...This is nice.'

This body did not have any scars.

Even if it did, the Vitality of the Heart would quickly get rid of them.
That was good.

Scars were records as well.
Terrible records.

"Well for me, I like these scars well I can see them as the result of my work and my tenacity to survive. Rok Soo suddenly said while looking at his scars.

It was better if those disappeared.
It would only cause pain to those watching and those nearby as well.

"Human, I connected him!"

Cale, who was undoing his buttons, looked forward after hearing Raon's voice.
He could see the video communication device and the screen floating above it.

A familiar face appeared on the screen.
Naturally, it was crown prince, Alberu Crossman.

Alberu, who was wearing a more majestic outfit than usual, started to speak.

- ...What are you doing?

His tone was extremely casual.
Alberu's majestic-looking face started to frown.

- ...Have you been drinking?

His expression seemed to be saying that Cale was doing all sorts of crap now.

It could not be helped.
The crown prince had never had anybody answer his call with a red face while unbuttoning their shirt.
That was only possible for someone who was so drunk that they didn't care about respect or etiquette.

- Did you just decide to return to your old alcoholic trash days? Hmm? How much did you drink that your face turned so red and your head is full of swea-

He suddenly stopped talking.
He then started to frown for a different reason.

- ...What did you do this time?

"Wow! I can see that you truly trust to the point that you know what he might be doing." Tboah Alberu said to his parallel self.

"Yes, I can truly agree with you nephew." Tcf Tasha said to tboah Alberu.

"Aunt!" tcf Alberu shouted as his response to the tease of his aunt.

Alberu could see all of Cale's group members.
They looked fine. He could see that only Cale was extremely red.

-...Did you use an ancient power? And who is that person wearing glasses? Is that the Mercenary King?

Bud and Alberu made eye contact through the screen.
Bud immediately understood who this was as soon as Raon said, 'It's the crown prince!'

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, your highness. My name is Bud Illis. I am the Mercenary King."

His tone was respectful, but he was standing tall.
Although he did not have any territory of his own, he was the representative of one of the top factions on the Eastern continent.
The Mercenary King did not easily bow toward the kings of the Eastern continent either.

"Well yes, because I am also a king" tboah Bud said with a smile on his face.

- Nice to meet you. I am Alberu Crossman.

Alberu's self-introduction was short.
He believed that it was enough to just reveal his name.
His name should be known by the power players in both the Eastern and Western continents.
He heard Cale's voice at that moment.

"I am currently going through the Mercenaries Guild's Directory."
- The Directory? Why?

Alberu was confused for a moment before his eyes clouded over. He saw Eruhaben's better complexion and immediately answered his own question.

- Looks like you went to find information on the White Star.

This was why Cale found it easy to deal with Alberu.
There was no need to explain things in detail to him.

"You are correct, your highness. I went through the records in the Directory."

Cale then calmly explained everything he learned by going through the records.

"...And that is it."

The hypothesis that the White Star might be the first Mercenary King.
The hypothesis that the Directory might really be a record of ancient powers.

Alberu's expression looked heavy after hearing all of that.

- ...Cale Henituse.

His eyes headed toward the tired Cale.

- So, what is it that you need?

The corners of Cale's lips slowly went up.
This was why it was fun to work with the crown prince.

"Seven days and approximately 9,889 record books."

"What?! Even if they already said the approximate amount of books this is still f*cking insane. Are you truly a human?" tcf Archie said with a shock while looking at tcf Cale.

"Young Master truly exceeds always our expectations to him." Tcf Rosalyn said.

"Even I a dragon still have goosebumps because of this revelation." Tcf rasheel said.

Cale closed his eyes.
His eyelids were shaking.

- What is that?
"That is how many books I read."
- ...What?

Alberu finally managed to see the bookshelf Cale was leaning against, as well as the numerous bookshelves behind him.
He continued in a cold and emotionless voice.

"I acquired information from 9,889 of 45,788 total books."

Cale still had his eyes closed.
However, numerous records were going through his mind like pages in a book.

"There were a total of 31 people with ancient powers in those 9,889 records. 29 of them are determined to have passed away. Four of them had water attributes, nine had wind attributes, six had fire attributes, one had wood attribute and 11 had other attributes."

Mercenary King Bud subconsciously gulped.

Like tcf Bud who gulped in the screen most of the audience gulped and just shook the goosebumps that they currently feel.

Cale was the only one who could talk right now.

"The first record of someone using an ancient power was about Lisetter, an archer. Born approximately 962 years ago in the northern part of the Eastern continent. Died 901 years ago at the age of 61. He had a wind attribute ancient power."

'It's hot.'

Cale was feeling hot. However, he did not stop talking.

"Second, Chaaru, a swordsman. Born 954 years ago on a southern island. Died 930 years ago at the age of 24. She had a water attribute ancient power. And the third......"

Bud brushed the back of his hand.

"The seventeenth person, Elsren, a spearman. Born 781 years ago in a free city. Died 740 years ago at the age of 41. He had a fire attribute ancient power. The eighteenth......"

He had goosebumps all over his body.

Cale was bringing up every person within the 9,889 books he read who had an ancient power.
Cale's confident voice that continued without any hesitation made him believe Cale was not bluffing.

"The thirty-first person, Inkter, a fighter... Year of death, unknown. Water attribute ancient power."

Cale looked toward Alberu after mentioning the final ancient power wielder before seeing Alberu start to speak without any hesitation.

- I will gather records of people with ancient powers on the Western continent.

The corners of Cale's lips started to go up again.

The crown prince looked full of disbelief. However, he too had goosebumps all over his body like Bud.

"Hyung memorized all of it. Hyung you are amazing!" tcf Basen said while admiring the actions of his Hyung.

'He read 9,889 books and memorized all of the information?
Crazy bastard.'

A totally crazy bastard was in front of him.
That was why the crown prince bluntly added on.

- What's so funny?

The crown prince also felt that it was easy to work with Cale.

- I need to gather information on ancient powers, but it looks like you guys need to do the opposite.

Bud's body flinched at that moment.
Cale looked toward Bud.

"Sigh."

Bud let out a sigh before starting to speak.

"It looks like."

If the White Star was the first Mercenary King, it was very likely that he had stealthily infiltrated this place many times.
That was why he needed to make up his mind.

"Damn it!"

Alberu flinched.

It was not because the Mercenary King suddenly shouted.
He understood why Bud would feel that frustrated. There was a different reason he flinched.

"Damn it! I can't say it while I'm sober!"

Click!

He opened a bottle of alcohol. The Mercenary King then started to chug.
Cale understood the look Alberu was giving him.

'Where did you find such a person......?'

That seemed to be what Alberu's gaze was saying.

"Kaaaa!"

Bud one shotted a whole bottle before starting to speak.

"This place, this place! Yes, this place!"

He seemed to be shouting to himself.

"We will blow it up!"

"Shit! Now they want to blow up the Directory!" tcf White star said.

"Barrow calm down." Tcf Sayeru calms down his liege every moment he feels that this person would snap because of rage.

"Yeah they are right we need to blow it up!" tcf Bud said while finishing his fourth bottle.

Bud looked toward Cale and continued to shout.

"We'll make it so the White Star can't come here! We will move the Directory and blow this place up! Kahahahahah! Then he won't be able to find the Directory in the future even if he wants to do so! Kahahahahah!"

He was laughing in a refreshing manner.

"Kahahahah! Blow it up! Destroy everything!"

Cale looked away from Bud with a stoic expression.

Bud was not wrong.
If the White Star really was the first Mercenary King, then it was a good direction to move the Directory and blow this place up.

"Soob, it doesn't make sense that I, the Mercenary King, am going to destroy the first Mercenaries Guild building and this records storage place, sob, but I have to do it."

Bud then looked toward Cale and continued to speak.

"Who will do it if I don't?"

The White Star knew about the powers of Cale's group.
He especially knew about Cale's ancient powers, as well as the strengths of the main strong individuals such as Choi Han and Eruhaben who showed themselves in the past war. He would quickly realize that Cale was in the Eastern continent if he saw the slightest traces of their group.

He needed to avoid that.

Bud had mixed feelings about destroying this Mercenaries Guild building with his own hands, but he had no choice.
It was at that moment.

"I will destroy it."

Cale flinched.
There was a person putting a cold towel in Cale's hand and looking at him.
Cale wiped the sweat off of his arms with the towel before starting to speak.

"...Ron?"

Ron, his servant. Ron was the one who was stepping up to destroy the Mercenaries Guild building and this records storage place.

"Young master-nim."

He smiled toward Cale.

"I've never been in the front lines. Would there be anybody who knows of me?"

Ron and Beacrox had never fought in the front lines during the Western continent's war.

"Plus, aren't all of the Arm members who realized I was a servant dead?"

The members of Arm who realized his identity and made him lose his arm had all died during the combined battle with the Whales.
He was only known as Cale's servant to those who do not know Cale well.

"Young master-nim."

Ron had not just been playing around in the Eastern continent during this time.
He trained himself over and over during this time. He didn't just sharpen his sword, instead, he had sharpened and trained himself to strike his enemies' hearts.

"I think this is a good time to do it."

It was finally time.
It was time for him to step into the front lines and help Cale.
In addition.

"I think it is a good time to reveal the return of the Molan household."

"Hoho~ it seems that we will restore our house in the eastern continent right son?" tcf Ron said with excitement.

"Yes, you are right father." Tcf Beacrox immediately said to his father that is also excited about their actions in the future.

It was time to use the fire inside of him that Cale had helped reignite.

Most of the Eastern continent knew about Arm's battle against the Mercenaries Guild.
But what if an unexpected variable appeared?
There didn't need to be many variables.

All that was needed was a small but sharp dagger that nobody expected.

"Molan, Arm, and the Mercenaries Guild."

The Molan household would be the dagger.

"Let's make this a three-way battle."

They would help shake up the balance of power in the Eastern continent.
Ron continued to look at Cale as he added on.

"Son, am I right?"

Beacrox responded back with a stoic expression.

"Yes you are, father."

Cale could see that the benign smile had disappeared from the old man's face to reveal a cold smile.

The eyes on the face that was full of wrinkles and the head full of white hair was burning passionately.

"He agrees with me, young master-nim."

His voice was warm.
Cale smiled back.

'This vicious but smart old man.'

He could clearly tell that one of the reasons that Ron had stepped up was for Cale and the others.
Ron was the one who Cale could trust more than anybody else right now.

"Ron, wasn't your duty to remain next to me?"
"That is what I am doing."

Cale started to laugh at Ron's response.

- Similar people have gathered together.

Alberu started to grumble.

"Crown prince, you're smiling like that again! You have a wicked smile on your face! Let's show it to the White Star!"

Alberu slowly stopped smiling after hearing Raon's shout.

<" So that is the end of this Arc I hope you take down some information that you can use to prevent your doom."> Reid said while looking at the world of TBOAH.

<" Children the prize will arrive during the break so just wait okay? So enjoy your break because we will start now the true program."> Reid happily said while taking down the craving of his three nephews, Soo hyuk at Jung Soo.

"Wait so what are the past videos for?" tcf Rasheel asks.

<" Well it is just for my entertainment."> Reid said while shrugging.

<" We will start the Arc in Chapter 201 up to Chapter 212. It covers the event of the Ubarr Sea War until the Grand Nobles Meeting. For those who already know what would happen NO SPOILERS. Okay?"> Reid said while leaving them on the theater.

Most of the people who are involved in the event will just shut their mouths because of who is brave enough to defy the orders. While the other people shiver at the thought of what would happen if they did obey Reid's word, Reid is just confirming his list that he will give to his nephews later.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Well, that is the 12, 816 words for all of you. I just realize that some words are missing in my work but don't worry I will fix them sorry again for the grammatical errors that you may notice.

CHAPTER 4: UBARR SEA WAR ARC 1

After the break, most of the people from TBOAH are currently anxious about what would happen on the Ubarr Shore. They did not have any idea what would be the Ubarr Sea War would on their world. While looking at the reaction of the people from TCF they seem to be calm even if they are a war that is coming at Seashore of Ubarr.

<" So are ready are guys now ready for the first Arc that you will be reacting to?"> Reid said while handling the things that he gets for his guests and nephews.

<" If you are curious as to why the TCF world seems to be calm because they already faced the war with an overwhelming advantage that led them to their victories that tcf Cale conduct as his duty being the North Eastern Region Commander. So if there so more questions we will now start."> Reid said as the screen turns in and projects the events that will give them information about the incoming war.

CHAPTER 4: UBARR SEA WAR ARC 1 (CHAPTER 202: THE OCEAN IS ...)

"Ahhh!! I think I will see myself again being tormented by Cale-nim, I am so excited." Tcf Clopeh said with a crazed look on his face. Meanwhile, his other self is now thinking if the alliance that they made was lost and how? Also, how did his parallel self end up like that?

Tap, tap.
Cale was quickly walking down the stone steps. His brother, Basen Henituse, was walking next to him while continuing his report.

"The Whale tribe discovered the enemy ships at the first boundary of the Northeastern Ocean."

"Oho~ so we are involved in this War." Tboah Shickler said with amusement.

"Of course father, It is just how we return our gratitude to young master Cale after of what he all done to us." Tcf Witira said to his parallel world father.

The northeast region's sea route's first boundary.
This location was the border between the Norland Kingdom and the Forest of Darkness.

"They are moving pretty quickly and should arrive at the Roan Kingdom in two to three days."

Basen continued to observe his Hyung-nim as he reported out.

'He hasn't even wiped away the blood......!'

"Blood?!" tboah Basen said while looking at his other self to see if it is true. As he see tcf Basen he only received a nod that confirmed that it is indeed blood.

Cale was walking while being covered in blood. Basen clenched his teeth after seeing Cale moving around without rest even though the battle had just ended as he quickly continued his report.

"The Ubarr liege and the representative of the Gilbert liege are currently requesting reinforcements."

Cale listened to Basen's report before starting to speak.

"Your highness."
– ...Yes.

Basen still had the video communication device in his arms.
It was directly connected to crown prince Alberu Crossman.

His father, Count Deruth Henituse, was currently dealing with the nobles of the northeast region and the rest of the kingdom.

Alberu looked toward Cale, whose tired and dirty face expressed that he had been at the center of the battle, with a stiff expression. Cale did not care about any of this as he only had one thought in his head as he started to speak.

'I'm hungry.'

"Why are hungry? Is it because all of your craziness emptied your stomach?" tboah Bud said while remembering the videos that they watch.

This gluttonous shield wanted even more food after fusing with the Vitality of the Heart. Cale was quickly taking care of business so that he could go eat something.

"Please send the First Mage Brigade and the First Brigade of the Royal Knights to the Ubarr shores."

"Mage Brigade? You have a Mage Brigade?" tboah Alberu asks his other-self.

"Yes I made them 2 years before the war with help of tcf Cale." Tcf Alberu said while looking at his other-self.

"But how you will deal to it. There are no sufficient ships in that territory moreover they did not have a ship for military use" tboah Alberu said.

"Just watch and take notes of the information" tcf Alberu said to assure his parallel self.
– Again?
"What are you thinking about doing with the Whale tribe?"
– I am still debating whether to have them fight with us or to still hide their identity.

"So we are really like a trump card of sorts at that time?" tcf Archie said as he remembered the past war from the shores of the Paerun Kingdom.

"Basically Yes," tcf Cale said with his relaxed tone a s he continue to watch the video.

Tap.
Cale stopped walking.

"Your highness, I know you probably have a lot of things you are curious about, but I will contact you later."
– Alright, I understand.

"It seems like you trust tcf Cale that you even made him your commander." Tboah Alberu said.

"Well, you can say that". Tcf Alberu said while shrugging his shoulders.

"Basen, you go help father."

Shouldn't Basen learn a lot of things now if he was to become the future lord of the territory?
"Seems like you are also uninterested in the lord's seat" tboah Alberu said while looking at tcf Cale.

"Well yes, of course, your highness that was a big threat to my dreams." Tcf Cale immediately said.

"Don't even ask what his dream is because you will never comprehend it." Tcf Alberu said while looking at his other self with pity on how much he tried to understand the way of thinking of tcf Cale.

Tcf Cale just remained quiet even though he wants to refute his highness statement he find it troublesome so he let it as is.

Cale looked toward Basen, who was not moving, with an odd expression. Basen looked at where they had arrived as he started to speak.

"...Hyung-nim, why are you trying to do all of the difficult and strenuous tasks?"

This area had been closed off for tens of years.
It was the underground prison.

He could see a faint light inside. Basen found it hard to understand this hyung-nim of his that was trying to send him away.

'Why, why does he always try to do all of the hard things on his own......!'

He found it hard to understand.

However, Cale was having the opposite thought and found it difficult to understand Basen's point of view.
'Difficult and strenuous tasks?

"It seems like there is a misunderstanding," tboah Eruhaben said.

{Well you cannot say that it was TCF if there is no misunderstanding right?}

I didn't want to deal with the other territories or the temples so I came here to do the easy task.'

Cale just said whatever came to mind as he could not understand Basen's point of view.

"It is not hard. This type of task is more suited for me. You should head back up."

"Another misunderstanding again," tcf Bud said while drinking his new set of wine courtesy of Reid.

Basen opened and closed his mouth a few times without being able to say anything.

'What kind of person is suited for torture?!'

"Torture?! You?!!" tboah Choi Han said while gritting his teeth in anger.

Reid will ready to step up for his nephew but he suddenly stops. He sense a strong bloodlust and fear that even he did not experience in his lifetime. As he searched who is the one releasing that kind of aura he only find his nephew Tcf Cale standing while giving tboah Choi Han a cold stare as if he was a corpse. Reid was shocked at his nephew's action as he notice that the kids, Koreans and tboah Cale are not affected by his aura. Most of the people at the theater collapse, some are busy catching their breath and some are just shocked at how is this scene started. Even the dragons were shocked at the aura that tcf Cale emitted when suddenly he spoke.

"Oi! I will never repeat myself but stop your useless ramblings and keep quiet do you understand?" tcf Cale while still looking at tboah Choi Han who is currently trembling because of the fear he feels while looking at tcf Cale. As tcf Cale said it he immediately withdraw his Dominating Aura with the mix that Blood-Drenched Rock gave. As soon as the terrifying aura withdraws most of them catch their breath and clutch their hearts for what they felt. Meanwhile, Tcf Cale just returned to his seat and comfortably position himself as if nothing is happening.

Cale was currently going to interrogate and torture someone.
Basen was thinking that this warm-hearted Hyung-nim of his, the man who worked so hard to save the citizens of the territory, could not like nor be suited for such a task.

"... I will do so if that is your will."

Basen turned around.
Thought was going through his mind.

He understood why his hyung-nim would choose to personally handle this kind of task when both he and his father were available.
At least he thought he understood.

'I am still young.'

Basen Henituse, the seventeen-year-old young man. He realized that he still had a long way to go in order to be like the people surrounding his brother. He needed to grow in order to not become baggage.
Basen did not look back even once as he headed up and out of the underground prison.

Cale started to speak once Basen was no longer visible.

"Apple pie."

A small paw appeared in the air, along with a piece of apple pie. Cale started to frown once he received the apple pie.

"What the? Why is the apple pie so moist?"

The apple pie felt as if it had been wetted by water. Cale heard mumbling as he started to frown.

"... I did not cry."

"Haaaa."
Cale let out a sigh at Raon's response.

"...I will go get you a new one if you do not like it. Human, don't eat it if you don't want to. An apple pie from a not great and mighty Dragon like me is not great."

"Dragon?!" Most of the tboah people were shocked because of this sudden news.

<" Ah! I forgot to inform you that tcf Cale has three children one is a dragon named Raon Miru and two cats from cat tribe that is On the oldest one Hong the second youngest."> Reid said as he still fixing his composure because of what happened.

'Aigoo.'
Cale let out a sigh and took a bite of the apple pie. He couldn't just throw away something given by a child.

Furthermore, he was too hungry.
His stomach felt completely empty.

'I could even pick up the dirt and eat it at this point.'

He really meant it.
The hunger became worse after the Vitality of the Heart and the Indestructible Shield fused together.

The two ancient powers didn't necessarily, 'fuse,' together. They were still separate powers. However, there was now a connection between the two powers. If the Indestructible Shield was a person, the Vitality of the Heart had become that person's heart.

Munch munch.
Cale ate the apple pie as he opened the door to the underground prison.

Screeeeeeeech-
He then stopped eating. He heard the sound of a whip.

Fliiiiiiick!

"Ahhhhhhh!"

"There is truly someone being tortured there." Tboah Rosalyn said.

Blood was being splattered onto the walls. A lot of blood must have been on the walls already, as you could not even tell that the new blood had landed on it.

"Ah, young master-nim, you're here."

Ron gently greeted Cale, however, he had a cold gaze as he looked at Cale from head to toe.

'Why is this old man's gaze so cold?'

Cale felt small as Ron looked at him that way. He then became anxious.

Ron took out a dagger and then threw it.

Stab!

"Aaaaaah!"

The dagger stabbed the man being tortured in the shoulder as blood splattered once again.
Cale avoided Ron's gaze and looked toward Beacrox. The chef and torture expert Beacrox was wearing four pairs of white gloves as he flicked the whip with a stoic expression.
The father-son duo, who did not have a drop of blood on them, introduced Cale to someone.

"We are chatting with him, as you instructed."

"Ugh, gasp."
The sound of someone gasping for air could be heard as Cale saw that the man's white hair had turned dark red from dry blood.

The Guardian Knight Clopeh Sekka.

"What?! How?!" tboah Clopeh said while looking at his other self that was clasping his hands together as if he was praying to the gods?
He had fallen into Cale's hands.

The father-son duo had immediately captured him and moved him to the underground prison when Choi Han had defeated him on the battlefield.
Ron continued to speak with a benign smile.

"...We kept him alive."

'Yes... As long as he is alive.'

"How cruel, he is just barely alive you know?" tcf Bud said while looking at how vicious tcf Cale is.

"What cruel? He dared to touch the Henituse territory and its citizen especially me people why would I must be lenient towards him hmm?" tcf Cale said ignoring the different types of gazes he received.

'Vicious' tcf Bud thought.

Most of the people from the theater came up to only one conclusion and that is 'Don't mess up with him and his people if you still want to live.

"Also torture is much more satisfying than easy death right?" tcf Cale simply added.

The people of both sides flinched at his statement even the dragons.

Cale heard Raon's voice in his head.

– Good job! Ron and Beacrox really are smart!

Cale could not respond.

Clopeh Sekka's legs were finely minced. Yes, they were minced like meat. He also had no arms. He was just alive.

"No reason why his limbs are like that." Tboah Bud said.

This was a scary sight that looked to come straight out of a nightmare. It was probably better to be dead.
Ron casually continued after approaching Cale.

"Young master-nim, seeing as how he does not even know how to control the wyverns, I didn't think we had much use for him, so I just left him alive enough to chat with. Did I do well?"
Cale answered honestly.

"Good job."

Ron had done a good job.

"He's still conscious, right?"
"Yes sir."

Cale nodded his head at Beacrox's stoic answer and approached Clopeh Sekka.

"Huff, huff."

Clopeh Sekka was having trouble breathing. He felt pain throughout his body every time he took a breath. However, the pain was slowly disappearing as well.

That was why a different fear was filling his mind.

'I'm going to die. I might actually die like this.'

On the other hand tboah Clopeh starts to quiver in fear as he might experience this in the future. This sudden thought was not easily brushed off from his mind until he start fidgeting.

It did not matter to him anymore why this rural territory had a torture expert and an assassin. All that he could think about was getting away from this scary place.

It was at that moment.

"Guardian Knight-nim."

It was a very gentle voice.
However, Clopeh did not dare to raise his head.

This bastard. The owner of this gentle voice. This bastard was the true head of this territory.

Cale Henituse, the man who had used the shield.
He would have never expected a young master whom he considered to be good and just to do such a thing. Clopeh could not say anything.

At that moment, his body that had lost all sensation suddenly felt a different type of sensation.
His cheeks started to shake.

Fear and suppression.
It was as if someone was suppressing him.
He had not felt this from anyone other than that person.

He heard the gentle voice once more.

"Please lift your head."

Clopeh slowly raised his shaking head.
He was dominated by Cale after being hit by the Dominating Aura.

However, he saw a smiling Cale Henituse when he raised his head.

"That smile surely haunt me every night knowing his true nature." Tcf Rasheel said while the others are just agreeing on his statement.

"It's been a while, hasn't it?"

'Is he talking about meeting at the castle wall earlier?'
Clopeh Sekka nodded his head subconsciously in fear.

However, he had to stop nodding his head. His entire body froze as if time had stopped.

The red hair of the man in front of him was slowly turning white.
Then his reddish-brown eyes turned blue.

"Ah, ah-"

"It seems you have done some entertaining stuff while in that disguised" Rok Soo said.

"But why this disguised there was an option but why you pick this holy appearance as a disguised?" Rok Soo added as he thought why tcf Cale does that.

"Well I think it is more effective and if you want to make chaos you must do it right." Tcf Cale while focusing his eyes on the screen.

'I think he is also in the level of Beacrox in terms of viciousness.' Rok Soo thought while tboah Cale slightly tugged the shirt of Rok Soo as he looked at tcf Cale with some scared expression. How cute! Rok Soo thought.
Clopeh's mouth opened and closed multiple times without being able to say anything.
It was a familiar face.
It was a face that was distinct in his mind.

That face and Cale's current face overlapped perfectly.

The priest.
The magical priest he had met in January.

The smile on the priest's face disappeared. Clopeh could not breathe again as the pressure suppressed him once more. The white-haired priest slowly started to ask.

"Has it been fun running around on top of my palm?"

'Did you have fun thinking you were going to be a legend?'

"You are evil" tboah Alberu said.

"Well thank you because of that my act still seems flawless as always." Tcf Cale said while the others are shuddering in fear.

"You, how long did plan to target Clopeh?" tcf Alberu asks.

"Well, I think it was January as Clopeh said in the video and before. I even don't know if he truly fell from my disguised but it looks like it was effective. Also, I am enjoying the fact that he thinks that he will become a legend." Tcf Cale said as he reply to the question of tcf Alberu.

"You truly plan thoroughly." Tcf Alberu said followed by a long sigh.

"Well of course your highness winning with an overwhelming advantage is always the best. Tcf Cale said.

"It seems like it and it is not like it was bothering I was curious about how he became like that." Tcf Alberu said while remembering the rambles of tcf Clopeh as if tcf Cale was a god.

That was what Clopeh heard in his head. He then thought about the past month.

He had met a magical priest at the beginning of the year and then a pillar of fire shot up in the God's Tears lake. He had believed he would be the main character of the legend based on the priest's words.

But all of those things were lies?

The man who had wanted to become a legend slowly started to break down.

"I will give you another prophecy right now."

Cale had a lot of things to hear from Clopeh Sekka.
That was why he was being honest with Clopeh.

"I will tell you what will happen to you."

Clopeh could not stop his chin from shaking as he looked up at Cale.
He had believed the priest was there to present the will of a god. That priest, Cale, now acted as the god for Clopeh's life as he started to speak.

"I will tell you what will happen to you.
Everything is on the top of my palm."

Clopeh could feel it in his bones.
This person in front of him held his life in his hands.

"So, tell me everything."

That was what Cale said as he looked toward the shaking Clopeh.

Of course, there was something that Cale had left out.

Clopeh had two options in front of him.

One was to die peacefully.
The other was to die after being tortured some more.

Those were his only options.
Being able to live was not one of them.

Cale sat down on the chair in front of Clopeh and looked down at him. Clopeh continued to shake and avoided Cale's gaze, however, he could not lower his head.
All he could do was look under Cale's eyes around the chin area as he continued to shake.

Cale remembered what Choi Han had said before he went off to be treated.

"The Sekka household is a white snake household."
Cale opened his mouth to speak.

"Ahh! This esteemed s-sir knows everything!" tboah Clopeh said while quivering in fear. Thinking that even the fake legend that only a few people know but tcf Cale manages to know it.

"White Snake."

Clopeh was the white snake. This white snake that was covered in blood gasped at Cale's words.

"What is the legend that you were trying to fabricate this time?"

"H-He! truly knows everything! Tboah Clopeh said

Clopeh realized something.
There really is nothing this person, this esteemed sir, did not know.
He knew everything, including the fabricated legend.

"Fabricated legend?" tboah Alberu while questioning if the Sekka Household does things underhanded.
Fear started to fill his body.

He then slowly started to speak. The man who had been silent throughout Beacrox and Ron's torturing finally started to speak.

Cale then heard everything.

"Is there any chance that we may know what they talk?" tboah Alberu asks Reid who's sipping his coffee.

<" Yes, there is a chance that you may know."> Reid said as he answer the inquiry of tboah Alberu.

* * *

– You are smiling.

Cale touched the corners of his lips after hearing the comment Alberu made as soon as the call connected. He could feel the smile on his face.

'I guess it makes sense, since I learned about a lot of things.'

Cale had learned a lot of information from Clopeh. Some of that information included why a strong bastard like the helmeted knight had not revealed himself until now on the western continent, as well as why Arm had gone to the western continent.

He also realized the problem that was assigned to him.

There was only one conclusion.

'I changed the story.'

"Well, I will be shocked if your shenanigans will not change the story as it intended." Tcf Alberu said.

All of this had happened because the war and, 'Arm,' had been revealed too early. However, it was not time to think about that problem right now.

There was one more thing.

'I feel like I'm a pretty lucky person.'

Cale thought about the crown in his bag as he leaned on the couch and casually responded back to Alberu.

"I seem to have gone crazy from fatigue."

"Yeah you are right you are truly crazy at that time." Tcf Alberu said while looking at the situation that the screen flashes.

He thought that the crown prince would scoff at him. However, Alberu started to frown while remaining silent, making Cale think this was an odd situation and continuing to speak.

"I plan to go to the Ubarr territory tonight."
– ...With that body?

'What's wrong with my body?'

Tcf Alberu just made a long sigh that you can feel his disappointment behind it.

"You! You need to watch out also your health okay? Even if you have a healing ancient power it is still not changing the fact that you are weak." Tcf Alberu said while looking at tcf Cale. Tcf Alberu notices that Soo Hyuk is looking at him with a sign of a good job from his hand. Tcf Alberu felt amused after seeing the praise from the hyung of tcf Cale.

He felt full and fine after eating a couple of apple pies. The regeneration abilities of the Vitality of the Heart had gotten even stronger. He may be covered in blood right now, but his skin had become smoother and he felt as if he would be fine even if he did not sleep for about three days.
Cale responded to the crown prince without a moment of hesitation.

"Yes sir, I will be going with this body."

"Haaaa."
He could hear the crown prince sighing. Cale felt upset for some reason.
However, he needed to move quickly.

The mark Raon left continued to send signals to them. The helmeted knight was coming back with the ships.
They needed to kill that bastard this time.

That was the reason he was taking Ron and Beacrox with him.
He had no plans on letting the knight die a peaceful death.

He also left a message with the ancient Dragon Eruhaben through the video communication device. Eruhaben would probably call him back soon. Cale had quite a lot of things to do, so he was in a rush.

That was why he got right down to business.

"Your highness."
– What is it?
"The Whale tribe."

Alberu was still debating whether to have the Whales fight with them or to hide their existence.

– What about the Whales?
"Let's hit the Paerun Kingdom."

"What?! Why are you also attacking our Kingdom did you not have enough from me? Tboah Clopeh said while looking at tcf Cale with terror in his eyes.

"Well, you are the first one who attack the Henituse territory so it is just common sense that I will return it the pleasure but in ten folds," tcf Cale said while looking at tboah Clopeh as he remember how he deal with the Duke Sekka.

"Crazy Bastard," both Alberu said.

"Oh well thank you for the compliment, your highness." Tcf Cale shamelessly answered.

"It was not a compliment bastard." Tcf Alberu immediately replied to him back.

Silence filled the room.
Alberu started to laugh after a while.

– Ha, haha-

He laughed for a long time.
Alberu then looked at Cale Henituse's mess of a face. He could also see Cale's sharp gaze.

'This punk really is amazing.'

The crown prince started to smile.

– I like it. I like it very much.

He then said one last thing before hanging out.

– Take care of your body.

Click.
He hung up without even waiting to hear Cale's response. Cale just called for Ron with an expression that seemed to be saying this was normal behavior for Alberu.

"Ron."
"Yes sir."

He pointed to the corner of the room as he gave Ron the order.

"Go bring Mueller. On and Hong as well."
"...You want the Cats to come up from the training ground as well?"

"Training ground? You take the kids in the battlefield as their training ground only?" tboah Archie said. While tcf Archie understands what his parallel self is thinking he just looks at him with pity.

"Yes."

Cale had thought that this battle would not be difficult, and as such had On and Hong continue training instead of taking part in the battle. There was something for the two of them to do now, however.

Ron soon brought the three over to Cale.
The mixed-blood Dwarf Rat Mueller was shaking while keeping a distance from the Cats, while On and Hong immediately rushed toward Cale. However, they flinched at his blood-soaked appearance and just roamed around him.
Cale asked the two of them a question.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"
"We're good to go!"

Cale got up after hearing those responses.

He was heading toward the Ubarr territory.
The ocean was somewhere that Cale had nothing to protect.
On and Hong.
The ocean would soon be covered in a poisonous fog.

The name of this operation was, 'Ghost.'

They will all die without realizing what happened.
That was most suited for the quiet night ocean.

"That was good khakhakhakhakha! I cannot wait anymore to see my friend dealing with them?" tcf Toonka said hysterically.

Tboah Alberu is somewhat satisfied after getting information from their future enemy. Meanwhile, the tcf White Star is currently on the Rage Mode (but he cannot do so) because of the loss of his people reported before.

<" Okay, you have another break and we will proceed immediately got it?"> Reid said to his viewers. While indulging himself on his type of break.

CHAPTER 5: UBARR SEA WAR ARC 2

"< Does everyone already settled on their sits? Then let's proceed. "> Reid said after taking the break.

CHAPTER 5: UBARR SEA WAR ARC 2 (CHAPTER 202: THE OCEAN IS...)

The Ubarr territory that is located on the Roan Kingdom's northeastern shoreline.
The liege of the Ubarr territory, Popelina Ubarr, looked around while taking in the cold ocean breeze.
Young lady Amiru, her future successor, was cautiously watching her.

Splash, splash.

This was the spot where they could best hear the waves that were crashing against the naval base.

"Naval Base?" tboah Alberu asks because it seems that anticipating this to what happens to see that they have Naval Base capable use for war.

"Since when did you start planning for war?" tboah Alberu added while looking at his parallel self.

"Two years ago." Tcf Alberu said with a serious tone.

"It is the Young Lady Amiru proposed to build a Naval Base at their territory after the plaza attack happens." Tcf Alberu added.

"What?! Since that day?" tboah Alberu said while looking at tcf Amiru with a questionable gaze.

"It is not me but it is Young Master Cale idea at that time, Your Highness. Even the Henituse County help for the construction of the naval base and ships." Tcf Amiru said while looking at tboah and tcf Alberu.

"He really does prepare everything since then." Tboah Alberu said while looking at tcf Cale with admiration.

'What prepared? I just give them an idea but here I am right now their commander' tcf Cale thought while sighing.

"Unlucky Bastard." Tcf Eruhaben said knowing what would be his soon-to-be troubled that he will make after this attack.

This usually dark and quiet port was still dark, but not quiet today.

Paaaaat!

The teleportation magic circle flashed once more.
Popelina reached her hand out in order to ask for a handshake.

"Welcome, Viscount."
"Ahem, nice to see you again, Ubarr liege."

The person awkwardly shaking the Ubarr liege's hand was a Viscount who used to be a part of the southeast region's Marquis Ailan's faction.
He was currently trying to blend in with the rest of the group while wearing his armor.

"Ha! Pathetic, they really that hungry for fame and power?" tboah Cale said with a disgusted face.

He left Popelina's side and moved to where the other nobles were standing. None of them had bright expressions on their faces. The Viscount didn't even greet the other nobles from the southeast faction as he looked around the naval base.

He then put his hand over his shaking heart.

A person's voice was still echoing in his mind.

'The shield did not break.'

"The shield did not break? What does it mean?" tboah Rosalyn asks.

<" That was some kind of saying made by Vice Captain Hillsman since who knows"> Reid said while focusing on the three kids. {I don't really know if he is the one who made or the citizens but i will just say that he did it.}

He recalled that intense battle. The Viscount who had watched that battle from his castle office could not help but run over here right away.
That person would come here.

The northeast region's Military Commander, Cale Henituse.

He would be coming here tonight.

The Viscount recalled what Cale Henituse had said as he walked away from the oval table the last time they had met.

'If it is the noble's way to attach themselves to the strong, then you will soon have to decide who you need to attach yourselves to in order to survive.'

"They truly only care for their power and reputation. They are like leeches for those who are in power. Tcf Cale nonchantly said to the nobles that he saw in the naval base.

He needed to stick to Cale if he wanted to survive. This was his only chance to do that.

His, as well as the other nobles, eyes were all continuously looking around.
They could not hide their shock.

They could barely make things out in the darkness. However, the numerous ships and the soldiers standing in perfect formation let them know just how long they had been training for this battle.

'We've been left behind.'

"Wow, they are really prepared and you can see that they absolutely trained for the war." Tboah Eric said.

The nobles realized that they had been left behind and that their strengths were puny in comparison. They also realized that they were not even in that person's eyes. That was why they were here, waiting for the strong to arrive.

The video communication device in young lady Amiru's arms flashed at that moment. She turned toward her mother and started to speak.

"He's coming."

The nobles all became nervous at her statement.
'Is it Cale?'

The teleportation magic circle started to activate.

Ooooooong-

It seemed to be larger than any other time it had been activated. This meant that it was transporting a large number of people.

The nobles standing around could not help but gulp.

Paaaaa- at.

The teleportation magic circle flashed before silhouettes of people appeared on top of it. The Ubarr liege started to speak once they completed their transportation.

"Welcome, Knight Captain-nim and Mage Captain-nim."

The First Brigade of the Royal Knights could be identified by the royal crest on their armors.
And then there was the other group that was being revealed to the world for the first time.

The nobles had heard what the Ubarr liege had said.

Mage Captain.
They could see tens of people wearing robes that were covering their faces.

Mage Brigade 1 was composed of the best of the best mages that crown prince Alberu Crossman had gathered.
The Mage Brigade was revealed for the first time since its creation.

The Mage Captain shook the Ubarr liege's hand.

"Nice to meet you."

The face that was covered by the hood was that of Alberu's aunt, the Dark Elf Tasha, in her human form. She was an Elementalist and not a mage, however, she was still leading the Mage Brigade. However, the Mage Brigade's true leader was Rosalyn.

"Your Highness you are a Dark Elf?" tcf Amiru asks.

"Yes, His Highness is a Dark Elf, If you have any problem about that just talk to me and I will entertain you very well. Tcf Cale said while leaking some of Dominating Aura with a smile that you will not wish in your dreams. Most of the nobles from both sides flinched about the statement of tcf Cale / Their Commander. Tboah Alberu also wishes that there will also be a person that will stand beside him without prejudice about his identity other than his aunt and the dark elves.

Tasha was taking the captain's spot instead of Rosalyn because Rosalyn was currently at the Breck Kingdom.

"Will he come soon?"

The Ubarr liege nodded her head at Tasha's question.

Tasha then silently led the Mage Brigade to a side of the room. The Royal Knights stood next to them.

The First Brigade of the Royal Knights was not very talkative. Tasha understood why they were almost speechless right now.

The Mage Brigade naturally had a video communication device on them. She had shown the mages and the knights the battle at the Henituse territory as she led them here.

They had seen that electrifying battle.
It was a battle of existences that even Tasha had never expected to see. That battle between the Dragon Slayer and Cale's group had shaken her up.

"Dragon Slayer?" tboah Eruhaben asks.

"Yes Eruhaben-nim there is a dragon slayer but he is just a fake one." Tcf Cale said to tboah Eruhaben.

"And you are saying that you manage to deal with him?" tboah Eruahben said.

"Yes we are Eruhaben-nim." Tcf Cale said while putting his hand on the shoulder of tcf Choi Han and his gaze towards tcf Mary.

Tasha was so worried about the necromancer Mary and the rest of Cale's group that she almost went crazy.

"Necromancer?!" some bystander said.

"Why? Do you have any problem with my people?" tcf Cale said while using his dominating aura.

"Ah! No no, I have no problem" the bystander said.

"Good to hear." Tcf Cale said while withdrawing his aura. All of the people at the theater think that tcf Cale is a person that you must not mess with.

'Although it seems that the knights went crazy for a different reason.'

Tasha peeked toward the Knight Captain. He had a face that looked like he was a stubborn man with a strong sense of responsibility. The Knight Captain who seemed to be in his forties was quietly observing the teleportation magic circle.

The rest of the knights were doing the same thing.

They had seen a sword master.
It had been a long time since the Roan Kingdom last had a sword master. However, a new sword master had suddenly appeared.
He had also been riding on a Bone Dragon.

"Bone dragon?" tboah Rosalyn asks.

"Yes! Smart Rosalyn that is the work of good Mary and she is excellent controlling those bones." Raon said to tboah Rosalyn.

Tboah Rosalyn is quite happy after Raon called him smart Rosalyn meanwhile, tboah Mary wonders if she also can explore the world freely like his parallel self.

Tasha understood their, no actually, she understood the thoughts going through the minds of every person who had watched the battle. That was why she quietly waited as well.

Splash, splash.

The teleportation magic circle started to vibrate once more through the noise of the splashing of the waves.

Oooooooooong-

They had been waiting for this.
The nobles turned their gazes that had been on the Royal Knights and the Mage Brigade back toward the teleportation magic circle. The white light flashed as people started to appear one by one.

"Ah."

Someone let out a gasp.
The first person who became visible had one of his shoulders bandaged up. Someone from the crowd let out his identity.

"...Sword master."

"You have a swordmaster, dragon, whales, cats, dwarf rat, and necromancer at your disposal?" tboah Alberu said while looking at tcf Cale with admiration.

'How he gathered all of those people and races with ease?' tboah Alberu thought.

"That was not all his disposal." Tcf Alberu nonchalantly added.

Tboah Alberu is still shocked at how tcf Cale managed to do that.

They did not even know his name. They saw someone wearing a black robe next to him. People could guess who she was even though she had been invisible throughout the entirety of the last battle.

'That person must be the necromancer.'

They were followed by Ron, who was wearing an assassin's outfit including a mask, Beacrox in a swordsman outfit with a greatsword, and the mixed-blood Dwarf Rat Mueller, who was surrounded by two kittens.

Cale's group was appearing one by one.
And the last to appear was Cale Henituse.

He appeared on top of the magic circle and the crowd gulped.
One of the nobles could not help but mumble.

"... Blood, the blood."

Cale still looked the same as he did at the end of the battle.

Cale was standing there in the same bloodied outfit that he was wearing during the battle earlier in the day. His gaze was looking around at the group.

However, the nobles did not think that Cale looked dirty or shabby. In fact, they felt the pressure of someone who had survived on the battlefield. Furthermore, it helped them realize that the war was just beginning.

It was at that moment.
The Ubarr liege started to speak.

"Salute."

The nobles flinched at her statement.
However, loud voices started to shout from behind them.

The soldiers who had been standing at attention this whole time shouted in unison.

"Choong!"

The entire Navy saluted Cale so loudly that the entire shore seemed to shake.

Their salute was toward the northeast region's Military Commander, Cale Henituse.
Their voices shocked the nobles until they heard a different noise.

Click, click.

Sword that shined under the moonlight started to be drawn one by one.

The Knight Captain took out his sword and lifted it up.
The rest of the knights soon followed his actions.

They had moved their swords instead of speaking.

Clang.

The swords pierced the air in a salute.

This was the Knight's Salute.
This was the way they greeted the people they needed to obey.

The mages then started to create small orbs of light and sent them above the nobles and the soldiers.

The dark shores slowly started to light up.
Cale silently watched all of this before slowly starting to speak.

"Now I can see."

"You really looking down on them huh." Tcf Alberu said to tcf Cale while tcf Cale decide to ignore it because it is troublesome.

He was not using the respectful way of speaking right now.
However, nobody thought that this was awkward. It was so natural that nobody even realized it.
No, they did not have the time to realize it.

"There's a lot of people."

Cale said just one thing while looking at the nobles.
The nobles could clearly see the way Cale was looking at them. They could tell that Cale was looking down on them.

"He really is." Tcf Tasha said remembering how tcf Cale acted around them.

However, the nobles still did not dare to speak.

The strength of Cale's forces was at the level of the crown. In some aspects, it was even stronger than the crown. Furthermore, he was currently a hero.

"I was not a hero." Tcf Cale said while the other is cannot on what this man is saying.

"Aigoo! It seems like I will have a headache again" tcf Alberu said ignoring the gaze of tcf Cale after hearing his words.

The entire Roan Kingdom was still buzzing about the battle from earlier in the day. Cale's name was on everyone's lips.

But, most importantly, Cale was giving off a different vibe.
They could feel the aura of a ruler that was worlds apart from what they had felt in the banquet hall. These nobles, who were the most sensitive to who was strong, bowed their heads.

'Funny punks.'

Cale did not pay much attention to the people trying to suck up to him in order to survive as he turned in order to look at the soldiers. Their faces showed nervousness and concern, but also hope.

Cale started to speak.
His low voice reached the hundreds of people standing there.

"Prepare to leave."

That was the beginning.

The atmosphere around the shore quickly changed. They had been expecting this order. Nervousness was on the minds of everyone here. However, Cale was not done speaking.

"Tomorrow night."

He spoke in a calm voice without any hesitation.

"We will obliterate the enemy."

Obliterate.
Kill them all.
That word was etched deep into the minds of the soldiers.

Someone shouted in a loud voice at that moment.

"We will follow your order!"

It was the Knight Captain of the Royal Knights. He raised his sword and placed it over his chest as he shouted. His voice seemed to be full of confidence in his ability to carry out the order. The Ubarr liege motioned as if to respond to his shout, and the soldiers started to shout as well.

"We will follow your order!"

The people on the shore started to quickly move during this dark night. There was a sense of thrill and excitement along with the nervousness.

Obliterate.
They would carry out that order.
Cale's order was echoing in all of their minds.

* * *

Cale was standing on the deck of a ship in a clean outfit the next night as he listened to Ron's report.
His hair was fluttering in the ocean breeze.

"The ships are mainly mid-sized ships, with a total over 300 ships."

"That is too much!!" tboah Amiru said.

The information sent by the Whales were finally reaching Cale's ears. He paid attention to each piece of information.

He would not let his guard down anymore. This battle would be the expression of his will not to do that.

"Originally, there were some ships in shapes that have never been seen before. We suspect that those ships were what they used in order to break through the ice up north."

'They are probably something made by the Dwarves.'

Cale lowered his head.

"Explain."

Mueller seemed so shocked to the point that he would faint before he quickly starting to speak.

"I believe it is a ship made by the Flame Dwarves. I've heard that they are weak when it comes to magic devices, but quite famous for their mechanical devices."
"Weak?"
"To be honest with you, it is closer to that they cannot make them at all."

A Dwarf that could not make magic devices was like an Elf that could not handle an Elemental. That was why Mueller did not look very good as he explained about the Flame Dwarf Tribe. He felt a bit sorry for them. However, Cale was thinking that their sorrows were none of his business.

'I can blast them away with magic.'

"Even the flame dwarves are involved in this war." Tboah Alberu said while planning on how he would deal with this in the future.

"You are right human we can just blast them off" Raon cheerfully said.

If they are terrible with magic, the Magic Brigade could kill them.
However, he thought about the magic scrolls that the helmeted knight and the Bears had in their possession during the battle.

"It is not just dwarves but also the bears? It is amazing that you win the battle." Tboah Alberu said.

Also, who is that helmeted knight you are talking about?" tboah Alberu added.

"That was the fake dragon slayer that I am talking about earlier." Tcf Cale said.

The fact that they had such magic scrolls meant that the enemy's level of magic was strong as well. The reason that the helmeted knight was teleported to the ship was almost certainly because mages and healers were on board.

In that case, he needed to get rid of them too.

Beeeeeep- Beeeeeeep-

"Commander-nim!"
Young lady Amiru ran over to Cale while wearing leather armor. A video communication device was shining red in her arms.

Cale saw a small boat approaching their ship at that moment.
He heard the following noises coming from the boat.

Meeeeeeeow.
Meeeow.

Cale started to smile at the sounds that he had been waiting for.
On and Hong were in Choi Han and Beacrox's arms. The small boat that they were on was heading toward Cale's ship.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-

The eerie noise of the wind brushed by Cale's ear.
However, he managed to hear young lady Amiru's report as well.

"The enemy ships have passed the third boundary."

This was the third of four total boundaries.
The enemy would soon approach the fourth boundary.

Cale looked down from the deck of this ship that was currently located at the fourth boundary.

– All done.

The masterpiece made by the children averaging nine-years-old.

"Vicious kids..." tboah Archie said while looking at the direction of the kids.

Shhhhhhh-

The sound of leaves rustling in the air, something that was difficult to hear out in the ocean, could be heard.
That noise started to surround the ocean around the fourth boundary.

Fog.
Fog was covering the ocean.

The only boundary with an actual mark could no longer be seen because of the fog.

This fourth boundary would be an invisible boundary of death for the enemy.

Cale gave the order.

"Get rid of all noise."

The name of this operation was, 'Ghost.'

The entire fleet of the Roan Kingdom's navy started to go quiet, starting from Cale's ship.
Silence filled the ocean.

The ghosts were waiting for the arrival of their enemies.

"Wow, that is amazing!" most of the people admires the scenes that they are watching even tboah Alberu and the other royalties of different nation and tribe can't hide their amazement at how tcf Cale starting his plan.

< "Ok! That all as usual you will have a break and we will resume. I will be right back immediately I will just get some things done."> Reid said to his guests.

CHAPTER 6: UBARR SEA WAR ARC 3

<" It seems that everybody is ready to continue without further ado let's continue."> Reid said after he gets back after finishing the important things that need to be done.

CHAPTER 6: UBARR SEA WAR ARC 3 (CHAPTER 203: THE OCEAN IS ...)

It looked like the migration of seasonal birds.
The approximately three hundred ships cutting through the water were moving in a triangle formation.

This fleet of ships had started from the Indomitable Alliance's Norland Naval Base.

At the center of the formation was the largest of the icebreaker ships that broke through the frozen northern shores. The helmeted knight was currently being healed at the highest cabin on this ship.

"How pitiful."

The Dragon Slayer started to frown after hearing the healer's comment, however, he could not speak properly right now. The healer sighed before casting a healing spell onto the Dragon Catcher's heart.

Approximately ⅔ of the heart was destroyed.

"It is shocking that he is still not died after receiving that kind of damage." Tboah Eruhaben said.

"Damn it! So useless." Tcf White star said in a low voice while looking at the position of the helmeted knight Syrem. Meanwhile, Syrem is gritting his teeth out of anger at the black dragon.

It would take at least a week to restore this damage. Even after that, it would take at least another month for it to heal back to normal.

He also came back without an arm.
However, the arm should be easy to restore once they informed the organization. The healer scoffed at the Dragon Slayer and started to speak in a mocking tone.

"Looks like you need to be locked up for a while like old man tamer."
"Shut, ugh!"

The Dragon Catcher could not finish speaking. The magic claw that had clenched his heart at the end of the fight was still causing him a lot of pain.

A third person who had been watching the helmeted knight and the healer started to speak.
The aged mage's voice was cold.

"A sword master just below your level, a necromancer, and someone with an ancient power that can block your sword once all exist in that small territory?"
"Yes."

The helmeted knight's attitude was slightly rude, however, the mage did not care as he continued on.

"And there is also a mage who is stronger than you?"

"Mage? I am Raon Miru and I am a great and mighty dragon, not a mage." Raon shouted at the screen.

The helmeted knight flinched internally, but did not let it show on his face.

"Yes, it is a mage who was able to imitate my Sword of Disasters and almost destroy my heart."

The helmeted knight had seen a Dragon's eyes.
However, he did not mention that.

'I need to take that for myself.'

'I really need to kill him immediately after we are done with this.' Tcf Cale thought while patting his kids.

"The audacity of that human, I will make sure that he will not be receiving a peaceful death." Tcf Eruhaben said while leaking some of his dragon fear.

These bastards would take the Dragon for themselves if he mentioned it. They'll give him the Dragon's snood while taking the rest of the Dragon. That was the original deal that fell through when the Dragon they had in mind suddenly disappeared.
The helmeted knight recalled the pair of Dragon eyes that had looked at him.

'It wasn't an ancient Dragon based on the size of the eyes.'

He was certain that it was a young Dragon that had not even had its first growth phase yet.
The helmeted knight suppressed his heart that was beating wildly.

It was not that the Dragon didn't use Dragon's Breath, it was that it could not use it.

That fact brought the helmeted knight some bliss. If he worked this properly, he might get the opportunity to get stronger without the head of this organization, that crazy bastard, knowing about it.

'I will eat the second Dragon.'

The helmeted knight was thinking about this beautiful future. He heard the mage's voice once again as he did that.

"The sword master that is not at your level. How is his plate?"

Plate referred to a body that could hold ancient powers.
Ancient powers were known to be weak, however, that was just something that the stupid people who did not know anything had determined.

Ancient powers that were created in nature and have natural affinities that came directly from nature and not from humans. How could these powers be weak?
They just thought that they were weak because they did not know how to use them. Of course, the human-generated ancient powers were weaker than the ones with natural affinities.

The helmeted knight flinched at the mage's question, but answered with a calm expression.

"Not much. He didn't have a big plate."

"His greediness does not know any limit." Tcf Litana said.

The helmeted knight lied without any issues.
The sword master with the black aura actually had a plate that was about the same as his own.
That was why he could not tell them the truth.
If he did, they wouldn't have a reason to heal him. They would just go find another person with a similar plate instead.

"Hmm."

The old mage started to frown as if he was contemplating things.

"We will need to head for the Henituse territory as soon as we conquer the Roan Kingdom's shores. We need to get rid of them."

The helmeted knight clenched his hurting body as he urgently added on.

"That damn noble! I will kill that red-haired bastard!"

'He's the one with the Dragon's protection. I can take the Dragon if I get rid of him.'

"Don't expect some peaceful and painless death especially you are in my hands." Tcf Cale said while releasing some aura and looking at Syrem with a cold gaze. Most of the people of the two sides that did not truly know tcf Cale flinched at his declaration of the helmeted knight.

{I don't know if Syrem is already dead because the time the tcf teleported in the domain of Reid is right after he recover from the place where he got the sky-eating water.}

It was possible to take that noble down with just one arm. He was someone who only had a shield and human regeneration powers.

The mage answered back to the Dragon Catcher who seemed to be getting angry at the person who had multiple ancient powers, just like he did.

"Whatever. It shouldn't be difficult if you, the healer, and I go together."

The Dragon Catcher did not disagree. The old mage and the healer were both useful, even though they were both also weaker than him.

The mage looked at the healer and Dragon Catcher for a moment before opening the cabin door. There was someone bowing to greet him outside.

"Sir, we are almost at the Roan Kingdom's northeastern shoreline."

It was the magic spearman, the same enemy that Cale's group had faced the most in the past. This was also the person who had used magic and spear arts together in order to betray the sword master and fake Holy Maiden, Hannah.

"I will make sure that shit head will die in my hands." Tcf Hannah said while gritting her teeth with anger while tcf Jack try to calm down his sibling.

"No worries about that you can do whatever you want," tcf Cale said with a grin on his face.

"Thank you, master Cale." Tcf Hannah said while planning what will he do to the spearman.

He bowed while looking at the three people inside the cabin. They all held a rank higher than him. These three were pretty much part of the organization's core.
That was easily visible through the red star on the mage's robe.
Unlike the white star and five red stars on the magic spearman's outfit, they all only had a single red star on their outfits.

Only five people had these outfits with just a red star.
These were the five that served the white star.

"We'll head out soon. I'll be heading to the front ship."
"Yes sir, I will escort you there."

The mage bowed his head at the old mage as the healer started to grumble.

"Didn't you say that the Roan Kingdom's naval base was shabby? Why do we need so many ships when they barely have any?"
"We're trying to conquer the Whipper Kingdom's shores at the same time. Plus, it's good that we did since the Roan Kingdom was stronger than we expected."

"That bastard!!" both Toonka was

The old man casually brushed it off as he headed toward the door.

"More importantly, shouldn't we get them back since they landed the first hit?"

The healer smiled in a twisted manner as he nodded his head.

"I suppose so. The Roan Kingdom is probably only expecting the Indomitable Alliance. They probably have no idea that we are on the ship. This should be fun."

They were all used to the healer licking his lips as if this was extremely exciting. None of them argued against the young child's words.

However, there was actually someone else who was having the most fun right now.

Deep in the waters underneath the three hundred ships.
A Humpback Whale was swimming very deep in the ocean.

This Humpback Whale with an X shaped scar on her back, Witira, the future Whale Queen, looked toward the south.

'They are almost at the fourth boundary.'

The Humpback Whale started to smile.
She recalled what Cale had said last night.

'WItira, please take the Whales and destroy the Paerun Kingdom's shores.'

He then continued to speak.

'In return, we will obliterate the enemy fleet.'

'This is going to be fun.'

"It is was truly fun indeed. Thank you young master Cale for giving me some fun." Tcf Witira said with gratitude while the other people who remembered how the whales destroy the shore's shivered.

Witira became certain after seeing Cale's confident expression.
He was someone who kept his word. That was why she didn't need to see it with her own eyes to know what was going to happen.
Her large tail moved in order to change her direction.

Toward the north.
The Humpback Whale turned away from the fleet of ships and started swimming in the opposite direction.
Many Whales and whales started to move toward the north along with her.

These forgotten creatures quietly moved up to the north.

* * *

At that same time, a very quiet noise reached Cale's ear.

Click.

It was a signal sent by a mage.
It was the signal that the enemy had arrived.

Cale started to smile.

The fog covered the enemy's sight, but it had done the same for their allies.
Cale had no reason to hide any of his cards anymore.

The rest of the Roan Kingdom's people other than Cale's group all thought that Cale only had the shield.

Cale did not try very hard to correct that mistake. It was easier that way. You did not need to show your strength in order to live a peaceful life.
However, there was no need to hide it within the fog.

Wind started to blow over the ocean that was quiet once more.

Shhhhhh-

The fog started to spread farther as Cale started to move.

* * *

The fog stealthily spread like a cat's footsteps.

"Huh? Fog?"

The old mage who had left the ship with the cabin and moved onto the deck of the ship at the front of the fleet started to frown.

The white fog was almost covering the entire ocean.

'Did the Roan Kingdom's shores usually get foggy?'

"Maybe yes? Maybe No?! Why don't you all try to use shitheads just for once ha?! Tcf White star said sarcastically while tcf Sayeru slowly calmed his liege.

The magic spearman next to the old man started to get an ominous feeling.

The mage started to speak at that moment.

"It is not magic."
"Ah, is that so, sir?"
"Yes, this fog was not made with magic."

"Oh? Is that so? Then let's wait until they use magic? Shitheads?" tcf White star shouted again while tcf Cale was amused hearing the rants of tcf White star.

Since the fog was not magic, it must be a natural occurrence.
What else other than magic could create such a fog?

"I know! Some beast tribe! Especially cat tribe!" tcf White start added while tcf Sayeru is still trying to calm his liege.
The magic spearman was relieved and gave the order as the ships started to enter the fog.

"The waters are calm, but we are entering a foggy region, so raise the warning level to 1 to be cautious."
"Yes sir!"

A Norland soldier bowed and followed the magic spearman's command.
This ship mainly had Arm's people, while the two ships behind this one had people from the Indomitable Alliance.

The Norland soldier picked up a horn flute and took a breath in order to announce the magic spearman's orders to the rest of the fleet.
Yes, he took a breath.

He saw the fog in front of his face as he took this breath.

'I thought it was farther away, but are we already in the foggy region?'

That was his thought as he put his mouth on the horn flute. All he needed to do now was to blow.
It was at that moment.

Shhhhhh-

The wind made the fog start to spread. The mage started to speak loudly in order to be heard over the wind.

"This wind is made by magic!"

They heard a different noise on the deck at the same time.

Clang!

The horn flute fell.
The magic spearman urgently turned his head.

"Argh, ugh!"

The soldier who had taken the breath was bleeding from his mouth. The magic spearman who was still breathing in the fog as he watched this suddenly flinched as his body started to shake.

'Poison. Enemies.'

"No! They are your allies' dumbass!" tcf white star said as he continue his rant. Meanwhile, Reid is currently amused about the reaction of tcf white star.

He quickly covered his mouth with his hand. However, the wind was already roaring around them.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

The wind rushed the fog toward them. Their surroundings were covered by the white fog in an instant. The magic spearman subconsciously opened his eyes wide as he started to shout.

"...What the......!"

Red fog. The fog was starting to turn red.
It gave off an ominous feeling.
This fog that was the color of blood slowly covered the ocean.

Raon, On, and Hong.
The red fog that was the combination of the three of them working together started to seep into everywhere that air was present.

"Vicious kids," tcf Archie said while looking in the direction of the children. Seeing his parallel self tboah Archie can't still help that the children are vicious despite their cute appearance.

"...Kek!"
"What kind of fog ... ugh!"

Unfortunately, the fog hit the weakest people first.
The soldiers of Norland and the Paerun Kingdom all had their hands at their necks. All they could see out of their eyes was the color red.

The magic spearman quickly created a magic shield and picked up the horn flute.

Boooooooooooo- Booooooooooooooo-

War.
The noise that signaled for war instead of a warning echoed across the ocean.
That noise reached the middle of the fleet.

"What the hell?"

The healer, the young child who was at the central ship, jumped up and looked out the window.
He could see the red fog, as well as Arm's foot soldiers falling down while coughing blood.

"...Poison?"

"AArrggghhh!!!" tcf White star shouted while watching the stupidity of his people.

The child's eyes changed. This was the healer's forte.

"I'm heading out for a bit."

The healer reached for the cabin door, but the Dragon Catcher grabbed the child's wrist.

"Stay here."
"What?"
"Here, ugh, stay here because I'm not healed yet!"

The healer was in disbelief.

The emergency healing was completed and all he needed to do now was rest. How could someone be so selfish? The people coughing up blood outside and dying were all a part of the same organization.
However, the Dragon Catcher's condition was a bit different.

"... I have a bad feeling about this."

"Oh? I thought I was only one" tcf white star continued but at this time tcf Sayeru just let his liege rant while tcf Dorph was silently laughing at tcf Sayeru.

The Dragon Slayer had an ominous feeling.

He had rested a bit, but his body was still not back to normal. It was still injured and he still did not have his other arm back.

That was why he felt better having the healer next to him, even if this healer was the weakest fighter.

"Haaa, I'll be back after taking a look at the situation outside."

The healer sighed and pushed the Dragon Catcher's hand away.

"Come back in 1 minute!"

The healer nodded his head at the shouting person as he turned the doorknob.

Click.
The door opened and the healer immediately left the room.

The Dragon Catcher peeked out the window once the door closed.

It was his intuition.
His intuition after being defeated at the Roan Kingdom's Henituse territory once already was telling him something.

The kingdom that had hidden a sword master, necromancer, and a Dragon probably had something else up their sleeves.

"He really does have," tboah white star said calmly as he watched his parallel self that was in agony.

He tried to focus in order to be able to fight even though his body was not healed yet.
It was at that moment.

Click.

He heard the sound of the door, as well as the healer's hair.
The Dragon Catcher started to smile.
This middle-aged healer who looked like a child was sly but listened well.

"Hey, hurry back in!"

It didn't matter to him if the foot soldiers died.
He urged the healer who could be of some assistance during battles to hurry back in.

Screeeeeech-
The door opened.

Plop.

The healer who looked like a child fell to the ground.
The Dragon Catcher could see something red.

'Fog?'

The healer was covered by red fog. It then registered in his head.

"Shit!"

The Dragon Catcher immediately stood up from the bed.

Bang!

However, his body was soon stabbed into the wall by a black aura.

"Ugh!"

The Dragon Catcher let out a groan.

He heard a very quiet noise at that moment. He then saw a white glove. The Dragon Catcher had no choice but to take out the Sword of Disasters once again.

'This is the last time I can use it right now!'

It was difficult to maintain the Sword of Disasters for a long duration with his current injuries. A loud noise boomed in front of helmeted knight again.

Boom!

The black aura. The sword master who had challenged him at the Henituse territory.

He had appeared again.

Choi Han was quietly launching his black aura at the Dragon Catcher.

The Dragon Catcher barely managed to dodge it. However, he needed to step back once more after barely managing to dodge the first one.
Something suddenly appeared at his back as he did that.

A white glove.
The white glove that the person next to the sword master had put on had appeared behind him.
This person had the stealthiness of an assassin and skills at the level of a sword master.

Choi Han was in front and the assassin was in the back.

The moment the Dragon Catcher started to frown, the white glove immediately grabbed his neck.

"Ugh!"

A dagger was stabbed and twisted into the stub that was left by his shoulder. It was an extremely painful attack. Choi Han stabbed the Dragon Catcher in the stomach with his black aura before jumping up into the air.

Baaaaang!

The ceiling of the cabin was destroyed and the sky that was covered by red fog became visible.

"Ugh!"

The Dragon Catcher was dragged up above the ceiling while still being held by the neck. His mind was currently in a mess.

'How did they suddenly appear like this?! How did they also know that I was here if they appeared just now?'

Although Cale knew this thanks to the Whale tribe's information and Raon's magic, the Dragon Catcher and the old mage who were not at Raon's level of magic had no way of knowing this.

"Ugh, ugh!"

He glared at the man who was slowly choking him tighter and tighter.

It was an old man in his sixties.
Ron smiled back at the Dragon Catcher.

"Vicious" both Cale and Rok soo said in a low voice while both Ron just smile at them with his signature benign smile.
He, who had borrowed his son's white gloves, stood in front of his young master.

They were currently at the top of the ship at the center of the enemy fleet.
Cale looked toward Choi Han and Ron, who had dragged the Dragon Catcher here, and started to speak. This was the first time the Dragon Catcher heard any of them say something.

"Let's get started."

Oooooooooo-

The silence was broken by what sounded like the cries of a ghost.
Something that sounded like hundreds of souls crying started to rise up from the ocean.

The Dragon Catcher had no choice but to see everything because he was at the highest spot. No, he could feel it.

Tap.

The Dragon Catcher turned his head after feeling someone tapping on his cheek.

Cale Henituse was smiling brightly at him.

"That smile, that damn smile, why does every time I see it is either you do some crazy shits or when you are always demanding for golden plaque." Tcf Alberu said.

The helmeted knight started to speak.

"...Y, you had another ancient power?"

Tap, tap.

Cale tapped on the Dragon Catcher's cheek and started to speak.

"Take a good look."

Ooooooooo-

The noise that sounded like ghosts crying was coming up from the bottom of the ocean.
Cale whispered to the Dragon Catcher.

"The cries of the ghosts are scary."

"You are also scary." Tcf Bud said while the other just nodded indicating that tcf Cale is indeed scary while the others are just silent but still agreeing on the statement.

The bottom of the ocean started to roar.

Ooooooooo-

The noise stopped and a tornado shot up.

Baaaaang!
Baaaaang!

Cale's ancient power and Raon's magic worked together in order to create this tornado in the middle of the red fog.

Cale's eyes that were no longer smiling were focused on the Dragon Slayer.

He remembered his promise to everyone.

Obliterate the enemy.

Cale Henituse, no, Kim Rok Soo, was someone who kept his word.
Now he just needed to keep that promise.

Most of the people from tcf and the Koreans smiled as they know that this is true and that tcf Cale always fulfilled his promises to them.

<" Ok that's it for this chapter as usual relax on your break and calm yourself."> Reid said while looking at tcf White star.

Reid came back and notice the air in the theater change. It looks like they are starting to be comfortable here.

'It seems that tcf White Star is starting to calm himself but I have no intention of calming him' Reid thought as he smiled at tcf White star. Meanwhile, tcf White star slightly scoffed off the unpleasant feeling that he felt after off many years.

"So let's resume on how tcf Cale OBLITERATE the enemy shall we?" Reid said while emphasizing the word OBLITERATE. The innocent and weak-hearted people start to shiver while the villains especially tcf white star starts to show some grim or displeasure on his face.

CHAPTER 7: UBARR SEA WAR ARC (CHAPTER 204: THE OCEAN IS... 4)

Of course, this method of keeping his word was Cale's personal philosophy.

Baaaaaang!

The tornado shot up and crashed into the ship. The mast started to shake and tilted to the side.
And then.

"Aaaaaah!"

It broke.
The Indomitable Alliance was being attacked on two sides from the sky and the ocean, however, there was no visible enemy attacking them. Only one person, the Dragon Catcher, had enemies in front of him.

The Dragon Slayer, the helmeted knight, looked toward the ocean and became at a loss for words.
He heard continuous noises of things breaking. He also heard people screaming.

There were people using magic against the red fog and the tornado even though no enemies were there. There were also some knights blankly slashing their swords at the air.

Some people from both sides were also lost of words and looked at the screen with pity. Even though they are the enemies is a pity that they died without knowing the faces of their enemies. Meanwhile the other is terrified that how tcf Cale plans to obliterate the enemies without sparing a single life.

'It is a one-sided war.' Tcf Bud thought while looking at the screen watching the enemy die without knowing their enemies.

"You truly like to win battles with great advantages," Rok Soo said.

"Well, can you blame him though, and also that was true nature of tcf Cale. He will always go to a fight that he knows he will have a great advantage and win. Also, if he encounters a fight that he thinks he can't win, he will retreat and come back again with a great advantage on his hand." Soo Hyuk said.

'Crazy bastard, at this point of manpower he can even invade and take down a kingdom.' Tcf Bud shivered while thinking about that idea.

"Turn the ships! We need to get away from the fog and the tornadoes!"

The few people who managed to come to their senses avoided the fog and started to shout from inside magic shields. The Dragon Catcher who was watching this suddenly thought about someone.

'Why isn't the old mage doing anything?
Why isn't he coming to save me?'

He didn't like the damn bastard, but the old mage was good at differentiating people based on their rank. It was weird that such a person was still quiet. He should have done something by now.

'Perhaps?'

The Dragon Catcher heard someone's voice in his ear.

"Looks like you have time to think about other things even when someone is choking you."

"Cale-nim you are acting as a villain here." Tcf Choi Han said while the other people agreed to tcf Choi Han even tboah Choi Han. While he just ignore tcf Choi Han because it is troublesome to deal with it.

'It is was my normal approach though' tcf Cale thought. Meanwhile On just look at his father and just shake her head.

It was Cale.
Of course, Cale had intentionally given the Dragon Slayer an opening to think about other things.

Only then would he truly understand his present situation.
They were out on the open sea.
For Cale, the ocean had to be somewhere that the enemy had nothing to rely on.
Cale explained the situation to the helmeted knight in a friendly manner.

"What is it? Is it weird that the mage has not responded?"
"...How do you know about the mage-?"

It was before the knight could even finish his sentence.

Boooooooom!

There was an explosion that was much stronger than the others. The Dragon Catcher's face turned toward it. He saw a pillar of water and a bright light clashing at the ship at the front of the fleet.

It was not that the mage had not done anything.
He could not do anything.
He was currently under attack.

Cale whispered into the Dragon Slayer's ear once more.
"You know that I have a Dragon."

Cale's voice sounded happy. On the other hand, the helmeted knight felt chills on the back of his neck. His eyes turned toward Cale.
'Who would think of this guy as a just hero?
And how could this person have three different ancient powers in his body?'

"Hero?! Me?! Why the heck does he thinks I am a hero, I am trash okay?" tcf Cale said.

"Haaaa... I did not know how I will deal with you anymore." Tcf Alberu said.

Cale's plate was the worst that he had ever seen. It was maybe as big as a fly's plate.
So how was this possible?

Even if he had regeneration abilities, the wood and wind would clash in a few years and he would eventually die in pain.

'...Perhaps?'

Extraordinary.
An unbelievable thought crossed through the Dragon Slayer's mind. There was a sensation suddenly surrounding him.
Boom, boom!
An ancient power inside his body was reacting to something. The Sword of Disasters was sending him a warning.

"...W, what the-"

His gaze headed downward. To be specific, it headed toward Cale's hand. He could see the small red thunderbolt crackling on top of Cale's palm.

Fire.
It was a fire that was even stronger than the volcano within the Sword of Disasters. Such a power could be felt coming from this small red thunderbolt. The strongest destructive power could be felt in it as well.
Fire and thunder. These were the strongest powers that could shoot up from the ground and strike down from the sky. The two gathered together in order to amplify the strength of the fire.

"What?" tcf White star shouted. While tcf Sayeru just let him his liege do his thing again.

The helmeted knight's mouth started to shake.

Extraordinary.
An unbelievable situation had become a reality.

"...No, no way-"

'Did he gather all five elements?
Is that why his body is not exploding?
Are the regeneration power and a balance of five elements keeping this glass egg of a plate stable?'

He could see that Cale was looking down at him.

"How could you gather so many ancient powers-"
"Because I am different than you."

Cale's calm voice asked in response.

"You are an artificial Dragon Slayer. Am I right?"

"He knows..." tcf White star said.

"Oh! Cale-nim!!! You the prophet of the gods know everything. It could be that you are not a prophet but a go-." Tcf Clopeh said while Reid put a soundproof barrier around him for them not to his nonsense again.

Tcf cale just mouthed to his uncle "Thank you" for the action that he do for tcf Clopeh.

The Dragon Slayer's pupils started to shake.
On the other hand, Cale was calm. He recalled one of the facts that Guardian Knight Clopeh Sekka had told him.

'Cough, he is supposedly a fake Dragon Slayer. Ugh, furthermore, the rest of Arm's high ranking members that are accompanying the Indomitable Alliance are a mage and a healer.'

'He is said to have grown after eating the latest ancient Dragon that died about two hundred years ago.'

Ancient Dragons right before their death were said to be better to eat than adult Dragons. Especially for this knight who had the Sword of Disasters, Dragon corpses were said to be the best medicine.

"That human!! The audacity of this bastard to us dragons like this!!!" tcf Rasheel said while gritting his teeth because of anger.

However, this fake Dragon Slayer needed the Sword of Disasters and something else to become a complete Dragon Slayer.

He needed a relic that had been passed down through generations.
A crown.

The Dragon Slayer needed the crown that drinks Dragon blood in order to have a Dragon-like body.
Cale remembered how Clopeh had snitched to him in anger.

'But some bastards, sigh, ended up stealing it- ugh!'

Beacrox had struck Clopeh's head with the whip once more when he said that.

'Because I'm the bastard who stole it.'

"Ho! The way you conduct your plans impresses me" tcf Eruhaben said

"Well, thank you Eruhaben-nim" tcf Cale said.

Cale had held back his laughter.

Boom.
Boom!
Something inside his body was currently going wild. The glutton priestess started to speak to Cale.

– Am I eating this too?

The ancient power that was currently the most active in Cale's body right now.
The Sound of the Wind.
The shield was lusting after that power right now. She continuously showed her greed and gluttony to Cale.
Unfortunately, Cale could not help but shake his head, 'no,' at the priestess's question.
Why?

'My greed is pretty strong as well.'

Ancient powers move themselves to a special spot or an item once the owner of the power dies.

The Indestructible Shield landed in a tree.
The Vitality of the Heart was in the rock tower.
The Fire of Destruction was in the pig sculpture.
The Sound of the Wind was in the spinning top that was underneath a boulder.

They quietly wait there until the next owner comes around.
You didn't automatically gain the ancient power by killing the current owner.
If that was the case, there would be no reason for ancient powers to disappear for long periods of time.

The glutton priestess started to speak inside of Cale's mind again.

– I really can't eat this?

The Sound of the Wind. Another ability. The shield's greed for other powers was endless.
However, Cale shook his head internally.

'No.
Not today.
My plate is still lacking. I can't overdo it anymore.'

"Lacking?!" tcf alberu said.

"Yes, your highness, at that time I was still lacking the water ancient power." Tcf Cale casually said.

"So are you saying that the day you said that your life is currently on the line you venture out to the eastern continent for the water ancient power?!" tcf Alberu shouted.

"Yes, your highness" tcf Cale casually said.

"You! Crazy bastard focus on your goddamn health! Ok?!" tcf Alberu said to his commander.

Most importantly, although he did not have anything to give to the shield today,
there was something to give himself.

If ancient powers don't get transferred and move to a special place or item, it was simple.

'All I have to do is pick it up.'

"It seems the way you collect ancient powers is like just picking up an apple that fell on the tree. As easy as that." Tcf Bud said.

'What the hell! While me I took a thousand of years for me to able collect information about ancient powers on the hand this bastard only took two years to balance his plate?!' tcf White star thought.

Then it would be mine.

Cale's eyes focused on the Dragon Slayer. The hunter who had found his prey started to speak.
He recalled what he had planned on doing with this prey.

'Beat him to death.'

Unfortunately, Cale lacked the strength to do that. This body had become even weaker and less muscular than originally. These were the times he thought about the muscles he had when he was still Kim Rok Soo.

After reading this some people took a glance in the direction of Kim Rok Soo and made sure that they will not get caught admiring his body.

'What the hell?! Why are these people staring at me like this?' Rok soo thought while tapping the shoulder of tcf Cale with a gaze of

'Hey! Help me to get out of this!' Rok Soo said based on his gaze

'Deal it with yourself' tcf Clae just look at him stoically with this thought.

Rok Soo just sighs at the look that tcf Cale gives him after he asks for help.

However, wasn't the reason he looked for ancient powers so that he didn't have to do such difficult physical training?'

Cale's finger pointed at the Dragon Slayer. That action made the Dragon Slayer flinch.
Cale started to speak at that moment.

"Throw him."

'What?'

The Dragon Slayer felt his body being lifted up before he could even question what was going on.

"Yes, young master-nim."

The Dragon Catcher was thrown into the air along with Ron's response. His eyes opened wide.

"N, no!"

Ruuuumble.

Something was beyond the red fog.
He could hear the sky rumbling.
The Dragon Slayer's eyes opened wide.

Flash!
It was the moment he had thought the night sky flashed in the color of blood.

Baaaaang!

"Ahhhhh!"

He had no choice but to be hit by the red thunderbolt striking down at him. He activated the Sword of Disasters' volcano attribute, but it was useless.
An even stronger power had gulped up his body.

'How does that bastard have such a power......!'

His body started to burn black.
The thunderbolt had accurately attacked only him.

Boom!

His body fell back down to the ship.

"Ugh......!"

The Dragon Catcher's body started to twitch. He looked like a worm, or maybe a snake, as he twitched on the ground.

Siiiiiiizle-
The remains of the red thunderbolt were not going out, instead, they continued to dig into his body. Just as he was twitching on the ground, the thunderbolt became like a snake and slithered through his body.

"That was a destructive power." Tboah Dodori said.

However, the Dragon Catcher who had eaten an ancient Dragon that someone had gotten for him still had a strong body.
He still had his sight, his hearing, and his sense of smell. He could also speak.

Tap.
The Dragon Catcher could see a shoe in front of him. His twitching body suddenly stopped moving. He could hear someone's voice through his ears that were still able to hear.

It was Cale.
Cale thought about the ancient powers that the Dragon Catcher had in his body.
One, the Sword of Disasters. Two, the power to control wyverns.

Furthermore, he remembered what the World Tree had told him.

'The person who is collecting ancient powers has collected a total of three ancient powers.'

The Dragon Catcher could hear Cale's voice.

"Why aren't you using your last ancient power? You have one more."

The helmeted knight felt a sense of fear.

'...How much does he know?'

"He already knows all of it, you dumb shit!" tcf White star said as he back again at his rants to his people.

The Dragon Catcher's body twitched for a different reason.
He had thought that the Guardian Knight bastard Clopeh Sekka had snitched about everything. However, the fact that he had three ancient powers was something that only he and that crazy bastard knew about.

'How does he know?'

"Well, I don't know? I think by torturing someone? Figure it out yourself dumbass!!" tcf white star shouted again.

His face that was burnt black slowly looked toward the sky, however, the only thing that he could see was the smiling Cale's face.

"Hurry up and show me."

Cale was speaking quite gently.

"So I can have that too."

"The way Cale-nim say it, it was like he was a villain. Sorry, Cale-nim." Tcf Choi Han said.

"There is no need to apologize to trivial things." Tcf Cale said.

Since his eyes were still fine, the Dragon Catcher could clearly see the way that Cale was looking at him. He shouted out in astonishment at the same time.

"...How could I ... to you!"

The burns made his mouth rip and bleed every time he opened his mouth; however, he could not keep his mouth shut.
He felt something suddenly overwhelming him. It was an aura that seemed to only belong to someone who rules over everything.
The person who dreamed of becoming a complete Dragon Slayer immediately realized the true identity of this aura.

The Dominating Aura.
The useless scam of a power.

"If he thinks that it was useless for me it was very useful." Tcf Cale said.

"Yeah, I agree with you with that especially when you use it at the Grand Nobles Meeting." Tcf Alberu said.

"Grand nobles Meeting what is he doing there?" tboah Alberu asks.

<" Don't worry I will allow you to see how those shitheads are being dominated by my nephew later."> Reid said.
However, that power was currently making it difficult for him to breathe. His body that was currently crawling on the ground could not even handle such a hallucination.

'...This is something I cannot keep to myself.'

That was the thought going through his mind.

The Dominating Aura.
There was also the regeneration ability and the ancient powers of five different elements.

This was someone who ignored the fact that his plate was weak.
This was something that broke all of the rules.

However, the Dragon Catcher knew that it was possible because he too was someone who had overcome the limits of the human body.

There were always existences that were an exception to the rules of nature in the world. Furthermore, nobody knew what those exceptions were capable of doing.

He was thinking that he needed to share this information with Arm, however, that thought quickly disappeared as he started to think about something else.

'Will I even be able to survive?'

The crazy Cale Henituse. This person had hidden his ancient powers from other people and acted like a good and just noble, hiding the fact that he could do such a vicious attack.
Could he survive and escape the hands of such a person?

"Good and Just?! What the hell is this idiot saying? I am trash okay?" tcf Cale said while the Koreans just shake their heads because of the denseness of their dongsaeng even tboah Cale join them.

"You dense bastard" tcf Eruhaben said.

"They just notice the good and just by they did not notice how this knight called tcf Cale vicious?" tcf Bud said into his best friend tcf Glenn in low voice.

"Just shut your mouth bud." Tcf Glenn said.

Since he was a smart person whose mind moved quite well when it came to doing bad things, the Dragon Slayer could accurately identify Cale's personality.

'I've been tricked.'

He had been tricked by Cale.
He didn't know how he had been tricked, but his instincts were telling him that the reason everything had gone awry was because he had been tricked by this bastard.

"I, I'll tell you everything!"

That was why he was quickly trying to find a way to survive.

"This will be useful to you! The crown will be beneficial to you if you have the Dominating Aura. You know about the crown, right? I will bring that to you! I will also tell you all of the secrets about Arm as well! I swear!"

"He is desperate hahahahahaha" tcf rasheel said.

He could not even feel the pain in his body as he urgently shouted out. At the same time, he felt relief after seeing Cale's reaction to his statements.

It was at that moment.

"Whether you speak or not..."

Cale slowly took the crown out of his magic bag.
Whether the Dragon Catcher talked or not...

"...I'm the one who will decide that."

The Dragon Catcher's eyes opened wide as he looked at the crown. He was shocked and had a blank expression on his face. His mind turned white as fear filled his body.

'...He's worse than that bastard!'

People think that if tcf Cale will become a villain, he will be the one who will always have the upper hand in any situation. He works and plans meticulously unlike the typical villains. The way his brain works is how he handles every situation. The more they think the capabilities of tcf Cale to become a villain destroy the frightened them. Some got goosebumps just imagining tcf Cale if he is a villain not a hero or commander but a villain that will just give them destruction.

Arm's white star. He had met him only once, but Cale was even worse than him.
Why?

"Syrem, you've seen the face of the head of the organization, right?"

That bastard did not know about Cale Henituse's existence.
However, Cale knew about him. That difference was huge.
The Dragon Catcher quickly nodded his head to show Cale, who called him by his name, that he had indeed seen the head before.

"H, he was wearing a mask so I don't know his face, but I, I've seen him!"
"Your body is too weak right now to show me the final ancient power, right?"
"R, right! But I'll show you if you want!"

"How dare he to inform the enemy about me!! That bastard!!" tcf White star said.

The Dragon Catcher Syrem tried to continue to conversation with a smile as it seemed to be going well. However, the burns on his face, as well as the fact that they were still burning, made it impossible to see the smile.

Aaaaaaah!
Baaaaang!

He could still hear the sound of people screaming and things breaking.
However, there was no noise of the Roan Kingdom, the enemy, within those noises.
The only noises were those of his poisoned allies and their ships breaking.

Syrem looked toward Cale with desperation. Cale opened his mouth to speak.

"I don't need it."
"'...What?"
"I don't really need to see your ancient power."

Cale turned away from Syrem.
'I'm going to pick it up anyway, I just need to go figure it out at that point.'
Cale walked over to the people behind him.

"It seems that his world not just turns upside down but immediately collapses after hearing that." Tboah Lock said.

"Ron, make it so he is only capable of talking."
Ron touched his son's white glove as he started to smile. Cale had no plan on letting the Dragon Catcher Syrem die peacefully since he dared to harm his people.
He was not the only one who felt this way.
Cale then added on.

"Leave something for Raon, Choi Han, and Mary as well. I'll be there after them."
"I understand, young master-nim."

Ron walked past Cale toward the Dragon Catcher.
Cale walked over to Choi Han's side and observed the night ocean.
He started to speak.

"We're here."

The right moment had arrived. Cale started to move using the Sound of the Wind.

"Ahhhhh!"
"Move the ship just a little more! We're almost at the end!"

"Oho~ they are still some survivors despite those poisons." Tcf Ron said with his usual smile.

A mage from the Indomitable Alliance used a magic shield in order to defend against the poisonous fog as he shouted toward the navigator. The navigator heard the mage's voice, as well as the sounds of soldiers falling off the broken ships.

"Ugh, ugh!"

He also heard his fellow shipmate dying next to him. His hand started to shake as he continued to navigate the ship.

'I need to survive.'
That was the only thought in his head as he avoided the roaring whirlpools and barely managed to steer through the poisonous fog.

"Yes, just a little more!"

The mage was protecting the navigator, the elite knights, and himself as he continued to urge them onward. There was the slightest chance of hope if they could get out of this poisonous fog.

He could see the red poisonous fog started to turn fainter.

"Just a little more!"

There was a smile of relief on his face.
However, he could not help but speak in shock in a moment.

"...Huh?"

There was something dark red in the distance beyond the red fog.

"W, we avoided the whirlpool!"

The navigator shouted with joy.
However, he had to soon greet the red ship at the other side of the whirlpool.

There were numerous ships surrounding the area at the end of the poison fog.
These red ships resembled the red fog.

They could also see a golden ship at the front of these red ships.
Cale, who had returned to his original location at some point, was standing on the golden ship's deck as he touched the sculpture of the Henituse family crest, the golden turtle, and started to speak to these people who barely managed to escape from hell.

"I was waiting for you."

"The joy on their faces immediately died after seeing young master Cale waiting for them. The smile was turned into despair as soon they see their enemies just waiting for them passing after passing the poison and fog." Tcf Jack said.

"The s-ship! Is this true that the Henituse family owned that ship?" tboah Deruth said while his parallel self just nodded at him.

'How much did they spend to build such a ship like this? The wealth of the Henituse does no bounds.' Most of the people thought while looking at the ship where tcf Cale staying.

The enemy who had barely managed to get past the poisonous fog had to now meet a real ghost. The people who wanted them dead were the ghosts.
Cale gave the order.

"Obliterate the enemy."
Numerous arrows and spells flew over the night ocean.

"Wow! Those spells, you can say that they are expecting this to happen. The way they cast and attack." Tboah Rosalyn admired how those mages attack and cast spells.

"Well, that is because of the leadership of the Future Magic Tower Master." Tcf Cale said while looking at tcf Rosalyn.

"Thank you, young master Cale for the compliment." Tcf Rosalyn said.

"No need to thank me, you deserve it and it is also for the future magic tower that I will be sponsoring." Tcf Cale said.

Tboah Rosalyn some quite jealous of his counterpart because he has people who will help her to become the tower master and also he received the help of the dragons.

'I wish I can learn things from her' tboah Rosalyn said.

<" Okay as usual you will take your break and come back to watch. Also, I will remove the walls that divide all of you but I will remain the walls that divide the good people from bad people. You can enjoy some of the amenities as well. If you think they are will be some amenities that will not be available don't worry I have the same amenities for all of you can use. The mages who want to share their knowledge can go with me and I am only on the mages of the good side. If there are no problems then goodbye."> Reid said while looking at tboah Rosalyn. Tboah Rosalyn thinks that Reid read his mind on how she wants to learn magic from his parallel self and the dragons. She just mouthed 'Thank you' to Reid and just nodded and smile at her.

CHAPTER 8: UBARR SEA WAR ARC 5

After the break, most of them are satisfied with what they experience during their break. Tboah Rosalyn seems the happiest out of them. She was happy to the fact that he still what to learn more instead of watching but due to the information that they needed she decided to just continue it later.

<" Seems everyone is in good mood, we will now proceed to the next part immediately."> Reid said. Seeing they are all in the good mood even the tcf white star that he even forget the stupidity of his subordinates so Reid decided that after this they will have a day off it is also been 5 days since they start so he thinks that they all need to lay low and enjoy.

'I will tell them about it after we finish this.' Reid thought while fixing the chapter that he will show.

CHAPTER 8: UBARR SEA WAR ARC 5 (THE OCEAN IS...5)

It was not easy to cross through the rough winter ocean.
That was why the navigators who sailed through the Northern Ocean were all experts. The Northern Alliance had only recruited the best of the best of these experts.

However, none of that mattered.

"Tch, I am starting to be annoyed again." Tcf White star said.

Baaaaaang!

The true ocean of death revealed itself to the navigators who had barely managed to wade through the whirlpools in order to get out of the red fog.

"Maintain your formation! Launch the cannons!"

The soldiers of the Indomitable Alliance finally got back to their senses and started to move. There was fear in their faces.

Tap, tap.
Their comrades' corpses got in their way as they tried to quickly move around, however, they did not have time to notice this issue.

Some of them barf on what they see especially those who do have not a strong stomach. Some weak-hearted fainted and for the children, they are censored for them not to be traumatized on the scene.

"Uggggggggh-"

There was a soldier on the ground who was poisoned, but not yet dead. His body was stepped on by another soldier, however, the soldier just glanced toward this poisoned soldier before moving on.

He was thinking that he too would die if he took the time to stop to help.

The soldier just continued to move while stepping on corpses.
Some of them had been paying attention to where they were walking until just a moment ago. However, they could no longer do that.

"Move quickly if you don't want to be buried at sea!"

One of the knights shouted toward the soldiers.

"Start rowing if you want to be able to take your friends' corpses back home!"

They needed to survive in order to care for their friends' bodies.
Otherwise, they would all die out here and nobody would be able to find any of their bodies.

It had not been like this when they had first headed out with a fleet of three hundred ships. They thought that they could destroy anything and everything at that point.
However, the result was the opposite. It was their enemy who seemed ready to destroy anything and everything.

"Refill the gunpowder!"
"Where are the archers?!"

The deck was chaotic.
The knights got in formation while the mages started to fire off spells.

"They are just like lost lambs without their shepherd." Tcf Cale said while smiling.

For those who hear and see tcf Cale shuddered in fear.

Bang. Bang!

Many of the arrows bounced off of the mages' magic shields and knights' shields. One mage from the Paerun Kingdom could not help but swear after seeing the rain of arrows.

"Damn it! When did they prepare such a thing?!"

"Seeing this you and tcf Cale really plan this for a long time." Tboah Alberu said.

"We could say it that way, but we truly plan all of this for a long time to let our enemies run around into that person's hands," tcf Alberu said while pointing at tcf Cale. The one who has been the subject of the conversation did not react as he knows that his highness will do it for him.

They could see a fleet of red ships almost comparable to their own in number.

"How could the Roan Kingdom...!"

The Roan Kingdom's proclamation in response to their own was full of confidence, however, the majority of the western continent's kingdoms did not put much attention on the Roan Kingdom.
This was because there had been nothing special about them for decades.
So how could they suddenly have such strong forces?
How could they possess such powerful naval capabilities?

If a single Kingdom had such a immense naval presence, why didn't they dominate the sea?

"Even if we have the power we don't want to," tcf Alberu said.

Meanwhile, both Eruahaben at Duke Fredo see tcf Alberu as a capable King in the future.

This mage from the Paerun Kingdom created an even bigger shield with magic as he ordered his subordinates.

"Immediately activate fire or lightning atta-!"

He wanted to tell them to do that.
However, he had to urgently change his command.
He could see fire orbs in the distance.

Tens of magic orbs flew up into the sky at the same time.

'How could the Roan Kingdom put forth such a magic attack?'
The navy, the magic.

The mage used magic on his eyes in order to broaden his viewpoint as he urgently shouted.

"Shields-!"

Tens of fire orbs attacked the ships that had just escaped from the whirlpools.

"Ugh!"

The mage who barely managed to defend with shield magic looked toward the front of the fleet of red ships with his magnified viewpoint. He could see a large number of red ships. Some members of the Mage Brigade were on each of the ships.
The Paerun Kingdom's mage looked toward the robed individuals and was unable to close his dropped jaw.

"...Crazy."

'How does the Roan Kingdom have so many mages? What is going on?'

"Now that they mention it, your highness where the mages came from?" tboah Rosalyn asks.

"Ah! They are from whipper kingdom, I accept them, and then some things happen" tcf Alberu said while looking at tcf Cale.

"Then here we are now, they are now the mages of the Roan Kingdom under the leadership of Miss Rosalyn." Tcf Alberu said.

"What?! Those bastards are still alive?!" tboah Toonka shouted.

"And you! Why are you not angry that those bastards are still alive." Tboah toonka added while looking at tcf toonka.

"For me, it is a thing that I will not think about anymore. If my friend sees them useful fine for me and they are also not in my reach to hunt them." Tcf Toonka said calmly to his parallel self.

Tboah Toonka just clicked his tongue because of annoyance, meanwhile, both Harol is glad that their Toonka did not cause a ruckus.

The mage's gaze shifted.
He could see a robed mage floating up into the air.
However, he was wrong in his assumption, as this was not a mage.

This was someone floating up using a wind Elemental.
The Dark Elf Tasha focused her attention on the voice coming from below her.

"One more time."

Cale gave the order.
Tasha raised up both of her arms. The tens of mages in Mage Brigade 1 cast their magic at the same time.

Crackle, crackle.

Orbs infused with lightning power shot up into the sky. Tasha used the wind to amplify her voice in order to deliver the Military Commander's order.

"Attack."

The orbs shot toward the ships once again.
Cale watched the attack before starting to speak.

"Move the ships."

"Hyung looks cool while giving them commands." Both Basen said while both lily agreed.

That order was shared with a few of the red ships via a magic communication device. The Knight Captain who was on one of those red ships took out his sword.

Clang.

The moment the rest of the knights took out their swords in response, the ship moved to stop in front of a mid-sized military ship belonging to the enemy.

Cale's voice reached the Knight Captain's ear through the communication device.

– Slash the enemies' necks.

Tap.
The Knight Captain heard the sound of someone charging forward before him.
He could not stand still after hearing that. He started to speak.

"Follow."

The Knight Captain started to move.

He only needed to give a simple order.
They just had to follow the person in front of them.

The Knight Captain jumped up and landed on the deck of the enemy ship. The other knights followed behind him, some using their physical abilities to jump while others used ladders to climb onto the enemy ship.
They were all moving without any hesitation while looking at a single person's back.

They could see the injured shoulder that was wrapped in bandages.
However, the Roan Kingdom's Royal Knights could see the black aura in the person's other hand.

The first sword master of the Roan Kingdom in a long time.
Choi Han was taking action even though Cale had told him to rest. His blood was boiling. He could not sit still. In the end, Cale ended up giving him permission to act.

'... Do whatever you want. I'm sure you'll take care of yourself. However, just know that I will not take you around with me if you get any more injuries.'

"Awww~ Look Hyung our dongsaeng is worried to my uncle. How cute~~" Jung Soo cooed while tcf Cale just glared at him.

"Shut up Jung Soo," tcf Cale said without knowing that his ears are turning red.

Rok Soo just mouthed 'Tsundere' to his hyungs and dongsaeng tboah Cale. They felt that they need to laugh but seeing tcf Cale mad they did not dare to do so.

Choi Han knew that Cale meant what he had said.
That was why he remembered this order as he continued to move.

The First Brigade of the Royal Knights followed behind him. Sword masters were known to have reached the apex of the sword. There was nothing for the Roan Kingdom's knights to fear as long as that black aura was in front of them.

Baaaaang!

The black aura destroyed a cabin on the enemy ship.
Cale was standing on the strongest and safest golden ship at a distance as he watched Choi Han destroy the enemy ship.

'That guy really is amazing.'

Cale was thinking that Choi Han definitely deserved to be the main character as he leisurely looked around the battlefield. Choi Han was starting to develop his identity as a hero.

'I can relax a bit now.'

The large golden turtle sculpture was next to him. Cale's red hair stood out on the golden ship, drawing everyone's attention toward him.

There were many nobles on this ship that was the largest and strongest ship in the fleet. The nobles, who needed to get on Cale's good side, could not hide in the cabins, so they put on their strong armors and stood behind him on the deck.

"Those noble bastards," Rok Soo said.

"Yeah, I know that they are pathetic right there but don't be so pumped up to them. Also as today those bastards already know their places" tcf Cale said.

These were the northeast region's nobles who had once followed the southeast region and central region's powers.
They could not say anything while watching what was going on in front of them.

Ships were getting destroyed.
People were dying.

But it was not their ships or their people.

The nobles sighed in relief as their minds became complicated at these new facts that they had just learned about. One of the nobles who had been pushing for the southeast region to take control touched the back of his neck.

"The audacity of this people!" tcf Witira and tcf Litana said.

"They truly just want to take control of everything for power, those power-hungry old mans" tcf Cage said while tcf Taylor calming her down.

'The Roan Kingdom had such a strong navy?!'
The crown prince was said to have prepared the naval base.
Seeing the size and strength of the navy, as well as the Mage Brigade that was sent to assist them, this noble quickly realized why the crown prince would be succeeding the throne.
But there was also another piece of information that shocked them all.

'I didn't know that the Henituse family contributed 1/3 of the funds required to build the naval base!'

The Ubarr territory by the Roan Kingdom's shoreline.
The Roan Kingdom's crown prince.
And the wealthy Henituse territory.

The nobles feared the Henituse territory the most after the partnership was revealed.

"Well money is also another form of power," tcf Cale said while the others can't help to agree to tcf Cale they all know that fact.

"Cough."

The noble heard a quiet voice at that moment. He looked back toward the front.
The person standing in front of him was Cale Henituse.

The northeast region's military commander was wiping his mouth with his sleeve. He could see a bit of blood on the sleeve.

However, the noble could not say anything.

At first, he had felt fear about the Henituse territory.
He was scared of this territory in the corner that had quietly been growing their strength. However, a different emotion other than fear had taken over.

"Those old geezers all concern is their power and influence, that's all." Tcf Taylor said.

He could hear Cale giving the Mage Brigade an order.

"Activate the shields. Protect the soldiers."

The mages immediately created magic shields in order to protect the soldiers from the enemy mages' attacks.
The enemy was being obliterated without hurting their allies. It was a one-sided battle.

Nobody would have expected that the Roan Kingdom would have dominated the Indomitable Alliance like this.

The nobles who had personally experienced this unexpected situation had a different emotion stirring in their minds. The nobles heard one of the nobles speaking at that moment.

"...The Henituse household was originally the northeast region's Guardian household."

"Oh! Seems like some people read some history books." Tboah Cale said.

They had forgotten about it because they had been at a time of peace for a long time.

Although the Henituse household was now known as a wealthy household, they were originally known as a martial arts household.
Ever since the Roan Kingdom had been founded in this land, the Henituse household had guarded the entrance to the Forest of Darkness, defending the northeast region and the entire Roan Kingdom underneath.

Marquis Ailan's household was currently known as the greatest martial arts household in the Roan Kingdom.
While the Ailan household had chosen the best land in the Roan Kingdom's southeast region, the Henituse household had chosen to go to this remote corner even though they were a famed household at that time.
They had chosen to go to toward the Forest of Darkness where the strongest monsters were known to roam.

The nobles seemed to realize something at this point.

Their gazes all headed toward Cale's back.
Their hearts were filled with thrill and anticipation now that their fear was gone.

The nobles could see Cale Henituse frowning in the front. He could not even properly clean the blood on his sleeve as he focused on the battlefield in front of him.
However, there was no hesitation as he gave the orders to the soldiers and mages.

"Cale-nim, please.." tcf Choi Han said while making a puppy face.

He seemed reliable.
At the same time, they felt a sense of regret.

They had gotten on this ship, but it was too late.
The, 'real,' people were not on this strong ship, but on the battlefield. The people who had the qualifications to go down in history were already making history on their own.
This one noble bit down on his lips. He wanted to say something to Cale, but he could only frown as he did not dare to approach Cale.
That was why the noble was suppressing his excitement and remaining quiet. All of the nobles were almost staring at Cale's back.

"Not bad, that those things from the past" tcf Cale casually said.

However, Cale did not feel any of their gazes right now. He started to frown even more.

'I'm hungry.'

He was not bleeding much because he had controlled the Fire of Destruction's fiery thunderbolt, however, he was still hungry. It wasn't like he could just sit down and eat a steak in the middle of the battle. This was making him annoyed.

Cale heard a voice in his mind at that moment.

– Not-as-weak human, we caught the mage.

Cale started to smile.

Raon had captured the old mage.
The healer and the Dragon Catcher were already captured by the father-son duo of Ron and Beacrox.
Raon's voice continued on in his mind.

– But I'm sorry.

'Sorry?'
The corners of Cale's lips that had been going up stopped moving. Raon explained himself in Cale's mind.

– Not-as-weak human, you told me to bring him alive, but he is barely hanging on. He's right about to die. He is still alive. I fed him a potion, but he will still die in about two days.

'Ah, doesn't matter then.'
Cale started to smile again.

"Ah! That smile! That damn smile again! Please stop smiling like that? Because I can't handle it anymore!" Some bystander said while admiring the smiling face of tcf Cale on the screen.

"What the f*ck? What is now the problem of those people nowadays." Tcf said while shaking the goosebumps that he feel.

– We also captured the magic spearman. He is fine. Let's throw him to sword master Hannah.

Cale was very satisfied.

"He looks truly satisfied," tcf Witira said.

The magic spearman was the one who had been close to the sword master and fake Holy Maiden, Hannah, when Cale's group had clashed against Arm during the Whales' battle with the mermaids.
The fake Holy Maiden was itching to get her hands on the people who had stabbed her in the back, so she would be very happy if they handed the magic spearman to her.

Cale raised his hand with satisfaction.
The nobles all flinched after seeing him suddenly raise his hand.

However, young lady Amiru, as well as the Dark Elf Tasha, the two people right next to Cale, understood his order. Cale started to speak.

"Prepare for a full assault."

The order for the final attack was delivered to all of the ships.
At that moment, the nobles felt the atmosphere starting to change.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-

The wind started to blow.
The wind was gathering inside the red fog.

The Mage captain shouted out an order.

"Larocque 7!"

Ooooooong-

The mages all raised their hands up in the air. Numerous smaller strands of mana gathered together into seven orbs.
One of the formations for the former Whipper Kingdom's mages with Rosalyn at the center slowly revealed itself over the ocean.
Furthermore, the royal knights that had been running rampant on enemy ships returned to their own red ship at that moment.

"Fire! Do not give them any openings!"

The soldiers were still shooting endless volleys of arrows at the Indomitable Alliance.

Splash, splash.

The red ships slowly started to retreat.
Ubarr territory's coast.
The Roan Kingdom's navy that had trained alongside the whirlpools that Cale had left behind was much more talented than the northern navigators.

Splash, splash.
The rowing soldiers put more strength into each row.

The ships slowly retreated in formation.
Hundreds of ships all retreated from the poisonous fog at once. It was a grand spectacle to watch. The nobles watching this did not find it odd that they could see all of this clearly even though it was night time.
They did not have time to focus on the fact that it was starting to get brighter.

Cale looked toward the retreated knights and the mages who had prepared their attack. He then heard Raon's voice.

– Finished.

Cale started to speak.

"Attack."

Cale's hand was lowered.
The red fog changed at that moment.

"He really does not spared anyone" tcf Bud said

"Why would I spare them? They start it so I will finish it." Tcf Cale said while a small grin on his face.

'Vicious' tcf Bud thought as he asks himself why he had a connection to this kind of person.

Swooooooosh-
The calm fog started to change.

The red poisonous fog started to roar.
It resembled the snowstorm that covered the lake surrounding the World Tree.

"Ugh!"

The harsh wind made the nobles and soldiers cover their eyes. It felt as if they would be swept up by the poisonous fog at any moment.
It was at that moment. The Mage Captain's quiet voice could be heard through the wind.

"Fire!"

Fire.
It was as if they were firing weapons. The seven orbs of mana in the mages' hands, these orbs of seven different attributes flew toward the red fog and the enemy.

It was the moment the seven orbs touched the poisonous fog tornado.

Boooooooom!

A large explosion occurred.
The entire ocean roared. Even the nobles and soldiers on the golden ship had to hold on because of the shock from the explosion.

"Ugh!"
"Eek! So strong!"

Already unable to see because of the blast, they struggled to stand still once the waves started to roar. They heard people screaming and ships breaking as the explosion continued on.

The enemies were dying.

They all sensed it in their hearts.
The noises started to disappear as the water calmed back down.

"C, commander-nim!"

The nobles slowly raised their heads after hearing young lady Amiru, who was in charge of communications on her mother's behalf, calling for the commander.

The commander.

Did something happen to the commander?
The shocked nobles urgently raised their heads.

They could then see the calm ocean.
At the same time, they could also see Cale, who was looking at young lady Amiru.

"Looks like I kept my promise."

"Young master Cale truly always did his promise." Tcf Litana said.

"Well, that is tcf Cale for you." Rok Soo said.

One of the nobles stood up as if he had been possessed after hearing that statement. He staggered a bit because he could had not yet regained his balance, however, he could soon see Cale and the ocean beyond the ship.

Something he had not realized until now finally clicked.
The ocean was getting brighter.

The sun was rising.

The red fog was no longer covering the ocean. All he could see were dead bodies and broken debris. Something caught the soldiers' and nobles' eyes at that moment.
They all looked toward the direction of the rising sun. It was the spot that the rays of the sun were currently focused on.

The archers lowered their bows. The navigators let go of their ropes and the rowers let go of their rows.

Clang.
An archer's arrow fell to the ground.
They heard their leader's voice at that moment.

"Inform the kingdom."

The soldiers slowly started to raise their arms.
They heard their leader, Cale's voice. Cale was looking into the video communication device in young lady Amiru's arms as he continued to speak.

"We are victorious. Inform the kingdom."

We are victorious.
There are no more enemies on the ocean.

The soldiers raised their arms into the air and started to cheer!

"Ahhhhh!"
"Wooooooooooo!"

Relief, joy, and excitement. These shouts that were full of all three of these emotions echoed across the ocean.

We survived and were victorious.
We kept our promise.

The soldiers started to shout these things as well.
The sun rose up in order to welcome the day for the Roan Kingdom.

The red ships started to move once again. They were heading toward the golden ship, they were heading toward Cale Henituse. They all cheered as they gathered around their leader.

"Haaa..... That was breathtaking" tboah Alberu said.

"You are right your highness," tboah Rosalyn said.

"I must get stronger than before." Tboah Choi Han said.

<" Oaky everyone that was the last chapter for the Sea War but we continue to watch until the Grand Nobles Meeting. As I know it is been 5 or 6 days since we start this so I will give you a chance to take an off tomorrow and enjoy relaxing. Like I said the good and bad people are still divided but the amenities are still the same for both sides. I will not bother you unless there are some things that you behind my back and if you do, I will not think twice to punish you. If you want some room for experiments and training just tell me okay? So that concludes all then I will now leave you all. See you!"> Reid said while exiting the theater. As soon as Reid leaves all of them start to plan on how will they manage the time that was given to them. Some leave for some food, some for indoor activities, some of them just stay as they just watch movies from where the Koreans came from. Meanwhile, there is an individual that is now starting to enjoy his sleep but it is now disturbed by his Hyungs and kids as they pull him to join them on their plans. All of them just mind their own business as they leave the theater for a while.

CHAPTER 9: HENITUSE TERRITORY WAR 1

<" Hello again, how is your day off yesterday? Is it fun? If yes I am glad that you all enjoy it. This time we will watch how the tcf World win their first battle between the alliances. It is just that the file that I will show you all first was been corrupted then I made a choice that you will see the sea war before the Henituse war. Right after we finish this we will go back to the right track again. Also, this part is the one that I've been doing every break if you notice my leave. So, sit tight, and let's watch."> Reid said.

All of them seem to be fine about it. As soon as they settle down the screen flashes and start the program.

{You will see some reaction of both clopeh sometimes because of the fluctuation of the soundproof barrier.}

'So I will witness now how I fight my soon-to-be legend.' Tboah Clopeh thought while clasping his hands.

CHAPTER 9: HENITUSE WAR 1 (CHAPTER 196: THERE'S A DRAGON? 1)

'It is truly important on how the other side deals with the first attack. It is also important to win this boost the morale of the soldiers who will be involved in this war. Tboah Alberu thought while waiting for the program to start.

The clouds of war covered the Henituse territory.

The Western continent was quiet on the outside ever since the Roan Kingdom's proclamation. However, that was just the calm before the storm.

Rain City, the location of the Henituse Castle.
The shoulders of all of the citizens inside the city were curled up in fear.

The citizens who were walking alone or in groups of three or four all had odd expressions on their faces. Fear, worry, and even some other emotion were all visible on their faces.

One of the citizens who had been walking with a friend pulled his jacket tighter because of the cold weather as he slowly looked around.

He could see the newly fortified castle wall. It was a tall and thick wall.
He could also see soldiers and knights walking around on top of the wall.

The citizen's gaze then headed up to the sky.

"...Someone with such a weak body is doing so much."

His friend stopped walking and looked up at the sky as well after hearing him speak.

The tall castle wall surrounded the entire Rain City. However, even that wall could not reach the sky.
The citizens could see the cloudy gray winter sky.

'Wyverns are going to invade through the sky?'

"Wyverns?!" tboah Alberu said.

"Yes, because it may be the only way that they can invade the Roan Kingdom is through skies." Tcf Alberu said.

They couldn't help but feel fear.

However, there was a silver light that caught their attention even more than the cloudy sky.

Rain City. This city could be considered to be small in size. A faint silver shield was currently surrounding the city. The other emotion that was visible on the faces of the citizens along with the fear and worry was relief.

"...Didn't they say that he coughs up blood whenever he uses the shield?"
"That is the case."

His friend answered back with a calm expression. The citizen fixed his gaze up at the sky and started to speak.

"It's already been three days."

"Three days? It is not tiring if you keep using it?" tboah Rosalyn asks.

"It is slightly tiring but I have the vitality of the heart no worries." Tcf Cale said while the crybaby cried because he overwork himself at that time. The others look at tcf Cale in disbelief as he ignores his health at all.

The Roan Kingdom's northern territories became the most dangerous locations after crown prince Alberu showed the video of the wyverns and claimed that the Roan Kingdom would not lose.
The northeast region was the region with the highest risk of attack.

The enemy kingdom of Norland. The Henituse territory in the northeast region was the closest territory to Norland that was across the Forest of Darkness.
That was why the citizens could not help but be in a state of chaos.

However, Rain City had been covered by a silver light starting from the night of the proclamation.

They had no idea when the war would begin.
The silver shield had not lost its light for even a moment during these past three days.

"Won't he faint if he uses such a large shield? Why doesn't he just activate it when those northern bastards come?"

His friend shook his head and responded back.

"Can't you tell? He doesn't want to see us or the territory getting hurt at all."
He could not say anything to his friend's response.
Looking up at the sky told him that this was true. Even the tall castle walls could not stop the wyverns. There were also only a few mages in the Roan Kingdom who could attack something in the sky.

That was why the weak young master Cale was overusing his ancient power.
The citizen's heart was running wild. At that moment, one of his other friends casually added on.

"I thought he was trash."

"Cale-nim is not trash," tcf Choi Han said.

"How dare he to call my legend a trash!!!" tcf Clopeh shouted.

The citizen could not help but shout toward his friend.

"Bad! How could you!"

A third friend added on.

"I looked into it, and they said that he was someone who threw bottles at gangsters! How is that being trash?"
"Didn't he also break stuff? I heard he even broke down some store doors."
"Ahem, well."

He could not retort his friend's statement.
To be honest, young master Cale really was trash. You could not erase or change your past. However, it was not enough to look down on his current sacrifice.

"He must have come to his senses. He is our young master-nim now."
"You are right. Our Lord-nim is a good person, so his son the young master-nim must have learned something from him as well."

Tcf Eruaben snorted after hearing that tcf Deruth is a good person.

'Yes, you can say he is a good person but not a father to Cale' tcf Eruhaben thought.

The citizen nodded to agree with his friend as he looked at the notices placed around Rain City. He was one of the few people who knew how to read.

This was the message on the notices.

< The Henituse Castle will be providing the citizens with food until the territory returns to peace. >

The Henituse Estate had opened its warehouse doors.
The amount of food they had stored was plentiful enough to give such a proclamation without having a certain end date.

"They are prepared for the worse" tboah Alberu said.

While tboah Deruth just nodded at his parallel self-actions.

The citizen looked toward the castle gate.

There were crowds of citizens who had come after hearing about the silver shield. This was the case even though the Wyvern Knights Brigade would definitely focus their attacks on Rain City and not the rural villages.
They still chose to gather together underneath the lord of the territory.

Furthermore, there were many wheelbarrows filled with food from the Henituse warehouse heading toward different spots in the territory. There were also farming tools in some of the wheelbarrows.

'We need to start farming in the spring.'

The words Count Deruth had said while handing some farming tools to the citizens were spreading like wildfire.

Those words symbolized a message in the minds of the citizens.

After the war.
During the springtime that would come after this late winter.
They would be able to return to their lives at that moment.

The citizen looked back up at the sky.

"I heard that he was working hard even though he is in pain."

'I pray that he is doing well.'

Cale Henituse.
The man who was currently the Military Commander of the northeast region was said to be struggling but continuing to keep up the shield.

And this rumor had spread past the Henituse territory and the northeast region to the rest of the Roan Kingdom.

* * *

Of course.

"So annoying."

Cale Henituse had spread this rumor himself.
Cale was currently using his bedroom in the castle as his office.

He leaned back on a comfortable couch and started to speak.

"Young master Eric Wheelsman should be doing well, right?"
"I'm sure he is."

Cale looked toward the smiling Ron and couldn't help but think that he was a scary old man. As for himself, he was a bad person.

He had the military command and yet he only gave orders.
Once he did so, young master Eric and the Ubarr liege followed his orders to create detailed guidelines to send to the territories.

"He knows that each of his allies will do excellent work. The trust that put on each is amazing" tboah Alberu said.

Furthermore, Ron was the first check for those guidelines, while crown prince Alberu was the second.
Ron had once been the head of one of the top five assassin households in the Eastern continent. He was more experienced in military knowledge than Cale. Furthermore, crown prince Alberu was focusing everything on the northeast region, which had the highest chances of being invaded first.

'It really is nice when other people do things for you.'

"Ha... you still not change Cale" Soo Hyuk said while sighing on his dongsaeng action.

Cale was currently relaxed.
Ron's smile became cold as soon as Cale's gaze moved away from him. His gaze was focused on Cale, who seemed to be drowning in documents as he thoroughly read through the guidelines and properly gave orders that matched the big picture.

He could see Cale's pale expression.

Tap. Tap. Tap.
It had been three days. Raon was hitting the floor with his tail from the corner of the room. On and Hong were doing the same thing. The Black Dragon was currently full of complaints.

"...You stupidly good human!"
"He's right. You're stupid."
"...It's frustrating."

"Yeah, human my past self is right. You are stupid." Raon said.

"Stupid nya~" hong followed.

Meanwhile On just look at tcf Cale with a disappointed look. Tcf Cale was shocked at how his children called him stupid but he just smiled at them and patted their heads. The others that see this interaction squeal quietly because of the cuteness of the three children.

On and Hong chimed in as well while Raon continued to stare at Cale's back.
Raon had said that he would step up to destroy the enemies.
However, this was Cale's response.

'No. You could be in danger if you show yourself.'

Cale had sounded very stern.
Raon had responded back to that.
'Who and what would put a great and mighty Dragon in danger?'

However, Cale had no plans on revealing Raon when he still did not know much about the crown that drank Dragon blood. He had not had any time to meet the ancient Dragon Eruhaben.

Furthermore, he needed to create heroes this time.
That would give those people a way to live a peaceful life.

That would also help the Roan Kingdom become stronger.

Dark Elf.
Necromancer.
The Tiger tribe.
And the Henituse territory.
Those were the names of the heroes Cale was planning on creating.
He wanted to shake the hearts of the kingdom and the continent. An emotional story was necessary in order to do such a thing.
Cale quickly looked through the final document before leaning back on the couch.

Tboah Alberu flinched at the goal of tcf Cale even he had already witnessed how his aunt help them in the battle at Ubarr territory. He is also jealous if he can also experience a world without any prejudice against them. Seeing this tcf Alberu just assure him that he can do it too.

The Indestructible Shield had definitely gotten stronger than before.
Maybe it was because it did not need to block anything right now, but just keeping it up like this was not that hard.
Of course, this was all thanks to the Vitality of the Heart. He was fine even without getting much sleep these days. Just one or two hours was enough to feel refreshed.

Cale looked out the window with a satisfied expression. He could see the cloudy sky and the faint shield.
It was at that moment.

"Cale-nim, isn't it tiring?"

"I cannot still believe that he called that punk with such respect" tboah Choi Han said. While hearing this tcf Choi Han and the Koreans just glared at him.

It was Choi Han.
Cale turned his gaze to the side.

'Why doesn't this punk ever age?'

He questioned how Choi Han still looked like a high school student, but decided that it was annoying to think about and brushed it aside as he answered Choi Han's question.

"It is not that hard. I am currently writing a new history of the kingdom."

'Yes, yes indeed.'
The original novel had been completely changed. That was why it was a new history.

"Hyung does not age?" tboah Lock asks.

"You can say that I age slowly." Tboah Choi Han said.

"I can say that maybe my life span is like for a dragon." Tcf Choi Han continued.

"Well, I think it is because I came from another world, just like where Cale-nim came from." Tcf Choi Han. He decides to tell to his family his secret because tcf Cale already says his. Aside from that, he also wants to free himself from that baggage that he carry for years. Tboah Choi han was shocked as his parallel self casually said his secret to everyone.

'It seems that we are truly different' tboah Choi Han tought while looking to his new family. The kids jump to ttcf choi Han and comfort him. Most of the people are shocked about the fact that tcf Choi Han dropped. Meanwhile tboah Alberu think of something that can change this subject.

"Wait, Novel? What does it mean?" tboah Alberu asks while looking at Reid.

<" I will just explain it later during the break."> Reid said while all of them just nodded at the response that they receive.

Usually, doing such a thing would be cumbersome.
Although it was cumbersome, it wasn't that hard on his body.

Cale looked back out the window.
Choi Han started to frown while looking at Cale, who was leaning on the couch with a pale expression and looking out the window.

'How could a person be like this?'

Choi Han could not understand. He touched his scabbard as he started to think. A new history. Choi Han focused on those words. Cale did not care as he casually lifted up the warm cup of tea that Ron brought over for him.

'Hmm?'

It was a sweet tea that he actually liked. Cale peeked toward Ron, who had his usually benign smile. Cale started to think.

'I guess the old man is tired as well. He forgot to bring me bitter tea.'

Cale looked toward Ron with concern before turning his gaze away and drinking the tea. He took a large gulp since it was sweet.

"Pffff-!"

He then spat it all out.

"Oho~" both Ron was amused about the reaction of their young master while smiling. Rok Soo and tboah Cale just prayed for tcf Cale.

The Black Dragon stomped one of his short paws and flew up into the air.

A black spot could be seen in the distance.
And soon enough.

Baaaaang!

The sky roared.
Cale stood up while wiping away the tea from his face.

The black dot almost instantaneously flew over and crashed into the sky.

It was the wyverns.
One, two. More black dots started to fly over to them.

Boom, boom!

The sky was becoming filled with these noises.

Wiiiiiiiiing- Wiiiiiiing-

An emergency alarm went out throughout Rain City.

The enemy was here.
This casual afternoon would be the start of the war.

"Everybody, calm down! Move according to the guide knight's instructions!"

The knight shouted out loud as he directed the scared citizens to safety. The soldiers helped the citizens move to safety, just as they had practiced in advance.

"Practice?" tboah Alberu said.

"So you really prepared this and trained them?" tcf Alberu said.

"Yes, young highness but I am not the one who trained them but him." Tcf Cale said while looking at tcf Choi Han.

Tap. Tap. Tap.
All of the houses throughout the city closed their doors. They were expecting to hear the citizens locking their doors. However, no sound of doors being locked could be heard.

Tap. Tap. Tap.
The armored knights and equipped soldiers moved from the castle walls and throughout the city.
However, none of this could be heard as well.

Boom- boom!

The noise of the wyverns ramming into the shield was too loud to hear anything else.

Rooooooooooar!
The roars of the wyverns were the only other thing that could be heard in Rain City. The citizens of the city all had pale expressions.

This was the first time they had personally seen a wyvern.
Even the smallest one was at least 5 meters long. The knight on top who was controlling the large monster looked like a small dot.
However, the knights who were wearing armor as white as snow seemed experienced in controlling these violent wyverns, making the soldiers and knights all gulp.

Click. Click.
The citizens started to peek out their windows.

Will the shield break?
Does that mean we will all die?

They were looking toward the castle walls with fear.

It was at that moment.

"...It is the young master-nim!"

One of the citizens who was looking out the window subconsciously shouted.
Cale had appeared on the castle wall.

A bright silver light was coming out of both of his hands. Cale walked over to the center of the castle wall and reached his hands up to the sky.
The knights and soldiers were watching him from the closest distance.

This was their first ever war.
A loud and firm voice soon reached their ears.

"The shield will not break!"

It was an armored Count Deruth.
The usually mellow and average looking Count's face was scary looking today.

"Everybody focus!"

The pounding on the shield and the wyverns' roars were not as loud as the Count's voice.
Cale listened to Count Deruth's voice and started to smile.

'He is surprisingly talented.'

"Uhhh? Thank you?" tcf Deruth said.

It was the moment that he was evaluating his father's abilities.

Baaaaang-!

A noise that was louder than before echoed inside the shield.
Cale started to frown.

15 meters.
An extremely large wyvern looked down at Cale who was inside the shield and opened its mouth.
It was impossible for normal wyverns to be 15 meters long.

This white wyvern seemed to be a mutant.

Cale started to speak.

"You're here."

"You are really waiting for him to come to your territory based on the first chapter that we see." Tboah Bud said.

Meanwhile, Tcf Clopeh did not regret coming to the Henituse territory because that is the place where he met his legend. It is like destiny to meet his legend there.

He knew this person would come.
He was waiting for this person on top of the white wyvern. The Paerun Kingdom's Guardian Knight.
The white-haired Clopeh Sekka.

He pulled the wyvern back and looked down toward Cale.

The two of them made eye contact.

Clopeh Sekka looked down at Cale and started to speak.

"Everything will crumble once we destroy the shield."

"Oh!! Cale-nim!! I wish you can forgive me for those words that I said to you before." Tcf Clopeh said while the other shivered on the behavior of the guardian knight.

He too had seen the Roan Kingdom's video.
Clopeh had decided to destroy this longest surviving kingdom without any power first after watching the video. His pride would take a hit if he started anywhere else.
It would seem as if he had been scared by the Roan Kingdom's proclamation if started anywhere else.

That was why the Indomitable Alliance had selected the Roan Kingdom as their target.
Furthermore, he had known about the slightly famous person in the Roan Kingdom.

It was the son of a noble who used a silver shield.

"How interesting."

Clopeh Sekka looked at the shield that was giving off a faint silver light.
Getting rid of this shield and that red-haired punk would start them off on a good note. That was why Clopeh had personally come.

He was the one who would use his overwhelming strength in order to write a new legend.

He blew into a flute.

Beeeeeeep-

Tens of wyverns quickly flew toward him from a distance.
The Henituse soldiers all clenched onto their spears in fear.
There were more wyverns than they had seen in the video, and they were all covering the sky above the Henituse territory right now. The Guardian Knight looked down at the red-haired man.

'Did they say his name was Cale Henituse?'

He would soon die.

"Ho~~, he wishes the death of our young master. I think we need to talk to him a bit more right son?" tcf Ron said.

"Yes, father," tcf Beacrox said. While tcf Cale shivered on the two.

'Vicious' tcf Cale thought.

There was a limit to ancient powers.
The Guardian Knight raised his hand.

"Descend."

It was at that moment.
Large-bodied individuals jumped off the wyverns behind him. They soon opened up parachutes that had never been seen before and safely landed on the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
These large-bodied individuals started to line up outside of Rain City's castle walls.
Their numbers were easily over 100.

One of the soldiers let out a gasp.

"...The Bear tribe."

"What? Even the bear tribe is involved here?" tbaoah Alberu said.

"Well duh? I make sure to destroy that territory so I use them but knowing what happen based on the video that was shown before they are all useless." Tcf white star said.

"How did they survive this battle?" tboah Alberu said.

"We just play our cards right and persists, your Highness." Tcf Cale said.

'Crazy bastard, he is definitely playing the enemies on top of his hand.' Tcf Alberu thought.

The Bear Tribe was one of the strongest Beast people tribes and had the largest numbers.
These large Bears entered their berserk transformation and started to surround the castle walls. They were able to arrive here using the parachutes that the Dwarves had made for them.
Clopeh watched them land before lowering his hand and giving an order.

"Attack."

The wyverns immediately headed toward the silver shield.
The white wyvern headed down as well.

Guardian Knight Clopeh could see the expressions on the faces of the people standing on the castle wall.
The soldiers had pale expressions. He knew that the citizens must have the same expressions on their faces as well.
He was certain that this would be an easy victory.

This attack was stronger than any magic bomb or crumbling palace.
Even this weak attack should be enough to destroy a small territory.

He then made eye contact with Cale again.

This was the end.

Baaaaang! Baaaaang!
The banging noises were so loud it felt as if it could shatter their eardrums.

"...How could we..."

One of the more cowardly soldiers plopped to the ground.
'The shield will break.'
That was what he was thinking.

Some close their eyes while others just watch this scene while holding their breaths. It is breathtaking to know what would happen if the shield will break or not after that attack.

The soldier's gaze headed toward Cale. He could see the young master who was completely pale and looked as if he could fall at any moment.
In fact, many of the gazes were focused on Cale right now.
Cale started to think at that moment.

'The North really is a munchkin too.'

They were very strong.

However.
– Human, the wyverns are large, but they are weak. These puny things are kind of cute.

'There's a Dragon here?'

All of them know that tcf Cale has a dragon on his side, so they choose to relax for a bit and continue to see what would happen.

The shield would not break.
This was because it was covered by a Dragon's shield.

Something like a wyvern would not be able to break a Dragon's shield.

'I can't reveal Raon, but I can still put him to use.'

Cale continued to keep his shield up through the noise.

Boom, boom!
The wyverns rammed into the shield tens of times. It almost sounded as if they were beating on it like a drum.

"...Ah."

The fallen soldier let out a gasp.

One time, ten times, almost a hundred times. The shield did not break no matter how many times they rammed into it.
In fact, it only started to shine even brighter.
The soldier repeated what the Count had said earlier.

"...The shield will not break."

The young master who looked as if he could fall over at any moment did not fall.

"Ha!"

Guardian Knight Clopeh let out a shocked laugh. It was stronger than he had expected. Contrary to his feeble-looking appearance, that young master's ancient power was stronger than he had expected.

However, nothing had changed in his mind.

A shield would eventually break. Furthermore, there were other places that they could hit other than the shield.
Clopeh Sekka. The Guardian Knight maintained his calm as he looked down at Cale.

It was at that moment.

Cale Henituse.
He was smiling.

"That vicious smile again!" tboah Bud said.

'It is my smile there is that vicious?' tcf Cale thought while looking at Rok Soo, tboah Cale, and his hyungs. These people just nodded their heads as approval that this smile is really vicious.

Even tboah Clopeh shivered to the scene even though he know that he is not the one who received it.

Clopeh felt chills on the back of his neck at that moment.

'Behind me.'

The white wyvern urgently turned around.

He had thought it was a white cloud at first.
He thought a white cloud was descending from the sky.

However, he was wrong.

"...Bones?"

They were skeletons.
Hundreds of skeletons.
The skeletons of monsters were descending from the sky. These corpses were starting to fill the air.

"Huh? Bones?" tboah Lock asks.

Cale started to smile.

"Too bad, this is just the beginning."

He looked up at the sky and could not hide his smile.

The Forest of Darkness.
An existence started to rise up from the Black Swamp.

It was the only skeleton with black bones.
The bones without any hide started to flap its wings.

Hundreds of skeletons were in the air.
A large existence revealed itself through the skeletons in the air.

"...That!"

The Guardian Knight's eyes opened wide.

It was a Dragon.

"Dragon??!!" Most of the elves were shocked about this. A dead dragon, a body of a dead dragon.
Although it was just a collection of black bones, it was close to 20 meters in length.
Just looking at it made it hard to breathe. The black wings that were multiple meters in length opened up in the sky.
It was an overlord, even after death.

Cale watched the dragon skeleton open up its wings.

A battle with an overwhelming advantage was bound to be entertaining.

"It is where I made my first appearance in the world again?" tboah Mary asks her parallel self.

"Yes, that was time but they did not know where I am." Tcf Mary said.

<" Now that this is finished, you may enjoy your break."> Reid said.

As their break started Reid also start explaining what their worlds all about is.

CHAPTER 10: HENITUSE TERRITORY WAR 2

After Reid explains about the whole novel thing, most of them can't hide their anger because who will not be angered if your life was not true or there is another entity controlling you. After the people side A settle down they are thankful to Reid that they give them a chance to avoid the destruction of their world as to how side B avoid it. Even if there is no presence of a transmigrator in their world they will at least do what they can do to survive the upcoming war. People from side B agreed that side A needed help to become stronger and to overcome those difficulties. As they also did not want the otherworld the same as theirs to destroy just like that. After the break, the people from side A and side B start to settle down on their respective places as they continue to watch the events from the world of side B.

<" As all are now settled down we will now proceed on the next part of the Henituse Territory Battle."> Reid said.

CHAPTER 10: HENITUSE TERRITORY WAR 2 (CHAPTER 197: THERE'S A DRAGON?)

Beeeeeeep- Beeeeeeep-

All of the video communication devices were consistently shining red.

Basen Henituse, the second son of the Henituse family, looked out of the window of the information monitoring room.
This room was located in the tallest tower of the castle.

Although this should be the busiest room in the Henituse estate right now, everybody was just standing there with blank expressions.
This was especially true for Basen, who was holding a video communication device in his hand as he stood there with his jaws dropped. Someone's voice could be heard through the video communication device.

– Hahaha, my goodness.

Alberu Crossman. It was the voice of the crown prince.
He was currently observing Rain City through the video communication device.

He had seen Cale's shield, as well as the higher than expected number of wyverns.
He also saw the hundreds of monster skeletons, as well as the Dragon skeleton.

'That crazy bastard.'

"He is indeed a crazy bastard." Tboah Alberu said while pitying his parallel self as he deal with this kind of idiot.

He was thinking that Cale was a crazy bastard.
However, Alberu felt the tips of his fingers going numb as he watched that crazy bastard through the screen.

'We can do it. It's possible.'

'The entire Roan Kingdom will become heroes.'

'We can also do it.' Tboah Alberu thought while looking at the party of tboah Choi Han and from the other people that allied with them from the break earlier. This was also thanks to tcf Alberu and tcf Cale that gave them some advice. He also remembered how tcf Cale talk to tboah Litana that he must get the Fire suppressing water at the Roan Kingdom at any cost to pull out the fire that the empire made. Also, he reminds her that never trust a woman named Elisneh as she will be the one who will bring destruction to her territory.

This crazy bastard had never said anything that he could not deliver. That was the reason Alberu had chosen to believe him, and the sight in front of his eyes was beyond his expectations.

'Your highness, the Henituse territory will ignore all communication from the temples starting this moment.'

"It seems like he decided to ignore the bullshits of the temples during the war." Tboah Bud said.

"Yeah, he decided to ignore all of them but I am the one who suffered at that time as well." Tcf Alberu said.

"Also I can't deny that because of his actions the dark beings are starting to show themselves to the world without any prejudice. It just I hope it will continue for the sake of everyone." Tcf Alberu Added.

"Don't worry about that your highness I will gladly TALK to them for those people who will slander my people and the future king of the Roan kingdom." Tcf Cale said.

Some of them felt a shiver from their back as tcf Cale emphasize the Word Talk. They know that his Talk is not in the normal way of dealing with things, unlike the others.

That was what Cale had said as he called forth the necromancer. Alberu had immediately responded back.

'I will take responsibility for it.'

Alberu mumbled to himself as he watched the large Flying Skeleton Brigade heading toward the wyverns.

– Looks like I have no choice but to take responsibility.

"It really looks like it". Tboah Alberu said as he gaze at the place where his parallel was self-settled.

He then started to smile.
However, there was someone else who could not smile at the current moment.

It was Clopeh Sekka, the Guardian Knight who was dreaming of creating the legend of the Sky Conqueror. He had a stiff expression on his face.

'...Skeletons?'

He had never seen such a sight in his life.

"Captain-nim!"

One of the knights on a wyvern quickly approached Clopeh. The knight was staring at him through the helmet, however, Clopeh only saw the wyvern that the knight was riding.

Screeeech-
The wyvern let out a screech as it shook its head left and right. It seemed as if it was afraid.

Fear.
That word made Clopeh look past the approaching skeletons. He was looking at the large black Bone Dragon. This dead Dragon was making the wyverns afraid.
Clopeh lowered his head.

"Grrrrr."

He looked at the mutant wyvern he was riding on. This one was baring its fangs toward the Bone Dragon. It was acting as if it was looking at a prey.
Clopeh tightly clenched on the reins around the wyvern's neck.

"Captain-nim!"

Clopeh started to speak as the knight called out to him once more.

"It is a necromancer."

The long-lost necromancers were the only ones who could do such a thing.

"...A necromancer? Such a cursed existence......!"

After hearing the statement of tcf Clopeh, the dark elves who sheltered both Mary were mad at them. They cannot deal with him because he is still the prisoner of war, the tcf Dark elves thought. They just hope that he will receive a heavy punishment from the young master.

The subordinate was shocked, but Clopeh quickly turned around. The subordinate stared at Clopeh before stepping back.
Clopeh could see the smiling red-haired man. That smile angered Clopeh.

'That bitch is not a hero.'

"How dare he call Cale-nim a bitch!!" tcf Choi Han shouted at tcf Clopeh. Meanwhile, tcf Clopeh was repenting for what he all said to his dearest legend. He is afraid that his legend will be angry at him because of his thoughts from the past.

'Ahh!!! What will I do after Cale-nim hears my thoughts? I think I cannot my face my dear legend again after this.' Tcf Clopeh thought while repenting his sins to his beloved legend.

A hero would never draw in a necromancer that uses dead mana.

'Aaaaarrggghhh!!! Why did I say that!!! Now I am sure that my legend will never accept me {clopeh you are not accepted in the first place remember?} ever again after I, Clopeh, his loyal follower slander his people.' Tcf Clopeh thought while his parallel self know what his other self thinking.

Clang.
Clopeh took his sword out of the scabbard. Aura began to flow out of his sword.

Sword master Clopeh.
He used his aura as he started to shout.

"Snap out of it!"

Ooooooooong-
His aura vibrated in the air.

Flap, flap.
His voice could be heard in between the flapping of the skeletons' wings. The knights tightly clenched onto the reins of their wyverns in response.
Clopeh then blew into the flute once more.

Beeeeeeep-

The wyverns' expressions quickly changed. The fear in their eyes had disappeared.
Clopeh looked down and quietly mumbled to himself.

"...The Bears will find the necromancer for us."

He then started to speak loudly. His voice that was amplified with aura could be heard even inside of the Henituse castle.

"They are just corpses that are being controlled."

It definitely seemed to be a group of weak bones. Although there was a Bone Dragon, it was just like a puppet. Clopeh thought that Cale might have prepared the necromancer as a secret weapon, however, the Wyvern Knights Brigade was an existence beyond their expectations.

'In that case!'

Clopeh thought to himself as he started to speak even louder.
'What a great opportunity.
It is a chance for me to become a holy hero!
I can become a legendary hero, a god among men.'

"That's ridiculous! A mere human called himself a god?!" tboah Rasheel shouted.

"Cale-nim I think it is good to just kill him right now." Tcf Choi Han said while gritting his teeth at the repenting tcf Clopeh at the corner.

"No." tcf Cale sternly said.

'No, not right now. He is still a good pawn on the current war.' Tcf Cale thought while looking at tcf Clopeh.

A necromancer, a being that uses dead mana, was the perfect prey.

"They do not have any wills of their own! The Henituse territory dared to call forth a dirty and evil necromancer!"

As tcf Clopeh hears what his past self saying he start to say his self-made prayer for his legend. Thankfully others can't hear him because of the soundproof barrier around him.

'If my nephew hears his prayer I am sure that he will not hesitate to kill him.' Reid thought after he listen to what tcf Clopeh currently saying with his hands clasped together, which was followed with a sigh.

"Gasp."
The soldiers on the castle wall, especially the knights, gasped at Clopeh's comment. As learned individuals, they knew about the fear and loathing people had for necromancers.
They could not help but look toward Cale.

However, they soon had to turn their gazes away.

Ooooooo-
The Guardian Knight's white aura endlessly shot up to the sky. The knights of the Henituse territory could not help but become aware of the existence of this sword master once again as their expressions turned grim.
Clopeh moved the reins.

"Our Indomitable Alliance will show you what justice is!"

"Oh? Really? So the justice that you show is how you all lose to him?" tcf white star shouted with anger as he pointed where tcf Cale sitting. {White ash is back again.}

'Ha.... He is at his rant again.' Tcf Sayeru thought while sipping his drink ignoring the actions. Meanwhile, Tboah Sayeru is slightly glad that his liege is still sane and not raging like the other one.

Tboah White star just looks at his parallel self with a smug on his face while eating some snacks.

Roooooar!
The white wyvern rushed toward the Flying Skeleton Brigade. Clopeh swung his sword and the white aura cut through the sky.

Slice-
The skeletons that could not dodge disappeared without a trace. The skeletons disappeared almost instantly, as if any resistance was futile.
Even if there were hundreds of these skeletons, tens of them disappeared from a single attack from Clopeh.

The other knights jerked their reins as well. The wyverns started to roar once more. They definitely looked as if they deserved the title of being the conquerors of the sky.

Clopeh, who was thinking that they had seized the momentum, looked back toward the red-haired man for a moment.
He could see Cale's indifferent expression. Clopeh was about to start to smile.

It was at that moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Bears started to stomp the ground. A Bear with reddish brown fur started to shout.

"Half of you go find the necromancer! Find them and rip them to shreds!"

Boom! Boom!
The large Bear stomped and started to laugh.

"The other half will destroy the castle walls!"

"Oh no! Young master Cale does not have any forces in the land." Tcf Litana said.

Most of the people had a grim on their faces as they realize that those soldiers will not be enough in any means to fight those bears.

The knights could hear the Bear's shouts. Clopeh finally started to smile.
There was Clopeh who was smiling while the people of the Henituse territory had grim expressions on their faces. There was a drastic difference in their expressions.

However, the people on top of the castle walls heard some odd noises at that moment.

"•••Huh?"

It was a roar.
The Henituse territory was a territory that was surrounded by hills and stone mounds. Even Rain City, the central city of the territory, was surrounded by mountains.

The roars were coming from the mountains.

They were the roar of animals.

"What?! How many forces do you have?" tboah Alberu asks.

"Based on the roar it seems that tcf Cale has also beast tribe among his people." Tboah Eruhaben said.

"What?!" most people were shocked while hearing this.

"Are you planning to make a zoo or what?" Rok Soo asks. While most people think what the hell is a zoo?

Koreans sees that it may look uncomfortable to both sides to explain the concept of a zoo. After of few moments the people who are interested in what a zoo is now settled down.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh-
The trees started to shake and the wind started to roar. One of the soldiers who was clutching onto his spear heard someone comment on the roars.

"They're late."

'Late?'
The soldier tried to look toward young master Cale before he stopped moving. Large animals were headed toward them.
No, they were people, but also animals at the same time.
The Tiger tribe.
The Tigers were all coming down from their mountains and preventing the Bears from approaching.

"What? Tiger tribe?" tboah Rosalyn said.

"Tiger tribe is a tribe from the eastern continent right? Then why are they in the Henituse territory?" tboah Alberu said while looking at his parallel self as if he is looking for an answer from him.

"Tiger tribe was saved by my people from the attack of the secret organization or arm." Tcf Cale said.

"Up until now, we are still thankful for the deeds that the young master showed to us." Tcf Gashan said with a tone of gratitude.

"Your connections even reached the lands of the eastern continent at this point." Tboah Bud said.

"So you are the one who hinders my plans!! Cale Henituse remember that I will deal you with myself after this."

"Ok, no problem but it can only be possible if you still have the memories of what happened here after we finished this." Tcf Cale said.

Unfortunately, most of them did not understand what tcf Cale said. Only the Koreans and both Choi Han can understand as he said it Korean.

During the break Reid said to tcf Cale and Rok Soo that the enemies of both sides will not gain in these events, only the good side will be the one who will remember this.

As tcf Cale thought about what they do in their little meeting he felt amused that the enemies will not gain any and that they are just here for entertainment.

The soldiers could hear the knights starting to speak behind them.

Many of the knights across the castle wall were shouting the same thing.

"They are the Tiger tribe that moved into Harris Village this winter! They are our fellow residents!"

"Harris Village?" tbaoh Choi Han said as he flinched when a knight said Harris village.

"Yes, Cale-nim rebuilds the village and that is where mostly our allies live." Tcf Choi Han said.

The knights then took out their swords.

"The enemy will not get past this castle wall! We will not let them get past us!"

It was the moment that the knights holding their swords looked toward Count Deruth. Count Deruth looked toward Countess Violan, who had come out with armor as well. He looked down at the person who was being held in place by the Countess and asked.

"We can get started, right?"
"O, of course, Count-nim. I, I prepared everything! Hehe."

The mix-blooded Dwarf Rat Mueller. The sole successor of the household that developed the Magic Tower nodded his head.
The knights lowered their swords as the Count gave them the signal.

"Commence defensive formation!"

The knights started to shout and the few soldiers who had been training since last year quickly proceeded to move. The soldiers with spears and bows followed them into the formation as well.

"They really prepared for this." Tboah Alberu said while admiring the braveness of those soldiers.

Boooooooooooom.
Something was appearing on top of the thick castle walls. It soon became visible that there were catapults appearing on the castle walls. The large catapults started to aim toward the Bears.
These catapults that were equipped were all sorts of magic devices were Mueller's masterpiece.

The knights started to shout.

"We are stronger on the ground!"

The atmosphere on the castle wall quickly changed.
This scene made Clopeh start to frown.

'Just what the hell?'

What the hell was going on?
His sword, no, the aura around his sword, swung forward to destroy even more skeletons. The Bone Dragon behind the Flying Skeleton Brigade was just floating there without doing anything.

"Well, I don't know. I think it is just a decoy or just waiting for a command. F*ck use your goddamn heads okay?!" tcf white star shouted while munching on the cookies that he request.

'These stupid bones aren't the problem!
There are Tigers that don't exist in the Western continent, and what the fuck is up with those catapults?
Why does a rural territory, a stupid territory with nothing but rocks, have all of these things?!'

"Well, I think it is because of a certain young master." Tboah Alberu said while looking at tcf Cale. The person involve just looked back at tboah Alberu while smiling at him brightly.

Although it wasn't the capital of any kingdom, it seemed better equipped than most capitals.

Clack, clack.
One of the smaller skeletons that had lost one wing was flapping its other wing as it roamed around Clopeh.

Clopeh started to get angry.

He couldn't let it continue like this.

Clopeh looked at the still numerous skeletons as he turned his wyvern around.
He could see Cale smiling once again.

'I need to get rid of that bastard first.'

It was a matter of momentum.

"He is right, that was a matter of momentum." Tboah Alberu said.

Beep, beeeeeeeep-
The white wyvern's black pupils started to change color. They became as red as fire.
The wyvern then started to increase its speed as it charged toward Cale. Clopeh lowered his head in order to stick close to the wyvern.

They were moving at an extremely fast speed.
However, he was still smiling.

Cale was still smiling at them.
He looked toward the approaching white wyvern and started to speak.

"Come."

The Bone Dragon that had been still this whole time finally started to move.

The person behind Cale started to move as well.
The invisible Mary was moving her hands. Her face was pale as she controlled the Bone Dragon. However, there wasn't even an ounce of hesitation in her movements.

'My other self did not hesitate as he fight those wyverns.' Tboah Mary thought.

These bones were all just decoys.
The Flying Skeleton Brigade suddenly screeched and started to run.

However, 'that,' started to move without making any noise.
The Bone Dragon's empty eye sockets suddenly lit up with black glow. It then quickly started to fly toward the shield.

The Bone Dragon opened its mouth as it aimed for the white wyvern's neck.

"Shit!"

Roooooar!
The white wyvern revealed its fangs as it tried to fight back.
However, the black-eyed Bone Dragon did not get pushed back even though it was just a pile of bones.

"Ugh!"

Clopeh urgently pulled on the reins.
Flap, flap.

The Bone Dragon opened up its wings in front of the Henituse Castle wall. Anybody would think that this sack of bones was guarding the Henituse Castle.

Bang, bang!
The white aura clashed with the black light.

The white wyvern's claws and teeth rushed toward the Bone Dragon at the same time.
However, the dead mana just shook rather than disappear. The Bone Dragon did not even have a scratch on it.

Kiiiiiiiii-
The shield began to shake once more as the wyverns started to ram into it again. They seemed focused on destroying the shield. The wyverns that now all had red eyes even tried to rip the shield apart with their claws.

However, Cale still remained calm.

"Choi Han."

Cale started the last step of his plan.

"Yes, Cale-nim."

Choi Han did not say anything else as he stood next to Cale. Cale got rid of the silver light connected to the shield from one hand as he continued to speak.

"It's your turn."
"...There was something for me to do?"

Cale had not told Choi Han what he needed to do. That was why Choi Han had been standing by Cale's side like a shadow in order to protect him.
However, Cale had determined what Choi Han would do a long time ago.

"Use all of your strength."
"...Is this the new history that you were talking about?"

"History? What does he mean?" tboah Lock asks.

Choi Han could see Cale smiling with a pale expression at his question. However, Cale's calm voice answered Choi Han's question.

"Yes. It is your history that you will write in this place."

'My history that I would write in this place, my second hometown.'

"Home town...." Tboah Choi Han said.

His life in this world he does not have any place that he could call home anymore. He is grateful to Rosalyn and lock as they stayed beside him but he can't be called his home. He did not know why but he thinks that something is missing from him and he can't figure out what it is.

Those words were echoing in Choi Han's mind.

The soldiers around them looked toward the pair in confusion. They were wondering what the two of them were doing during this emergency situation.
Cale took a sword out of a magic bag at that moment and pointed the handle toward Choi Han. It was a sword that Mueller had forged.

"It's yours."

"Thank you again Cale-nim for the sword. I will cherish this forever." Tcf Choi Han said while holding his sword.

"No worries about that. Do you know that you can ask me if there is something that you need right? All of you know that right?" tcf Cale said to his family.

"Awwww you are so very thoughtful" Jung soo tease tcf Cale.

Tcf Cale just let Jung soo run his mouth. He did not know that he is slightly smiling and had a tint of red on his ears.

Cale was planning on giving Choi Han his original role in the novel.
This would be when Choi Han becomes a hero.

The Birth of a Hero.
The fifth volume may have ended, but all he had to do was create a new opportunity for the birth of a hero.

"I'm sure you know best what you have to do."

Cale looked toward Choi Han and gave him an order.

"Come back soon."

Choi Han received the sword from Cale. He did not debate it much before taking it out of the scabbard. The blade was shiny, unlike the scabbard.
Choi Han smiled brightly toward Cale.

"I like this sword."

The sword started to rumble at that moment. Black hair and black eyes. An aura the same color as the teenager-looking man's eyes and hair started to cover the sword.

"S, sword master......!"

"What they did not know Hyung is a swordsman?" tboah Lock asks.

"If no then who save them from the plaza incident because it was when they know that Choi Han is a swordsman." Tboah Rosalyn said.

"Young master is the one who saves the citizen on the attack. He do it by tracking the bombs and shielding the citizens at the plaza. Tcf Rosalyn said.

The soldier gasped before covering his mouth.
The black aura was shooting up into the sky.

Sword master.
The young man who was known as Cale's guard was actually a sword master.

Necromancer, sword master, and the Tiger tribe.
Then there was Cale who was giving them orders.

A different emotion other than fear was giving the soldier the chills. It was at that moment.

"Well even I will be terrified at tcf Cale at this point because of how he commands those strong beings but seeing the war on Ubarr territory I doubt that this is the extent of young master Cale connections. Tcf bud said. Most of the people from the theater agreed to his statement and went back their gazes immediately at the screen as they continue to watch.

"I will kill him and return."

"So vicious uncle." Jung soo said while looking at his both uncles.

Choi Han calmly stated what he needed to do. His role was to kill Guardian Knight Clopeh. Kill Clopeh, or at least the white wyvern that he is riding on.

However, Choi Han suddenly saw Cale motioning toward him. Cale was even stuttering a bit.

"L, let's hug before you go fight!"

"Aaawwww I did not know that my dongsaeng has this kind of side." Soo Hyuk said with a teasing gaze towards tcf Cale. Meanwhile, most of them were shocked on this especially tboah Choi Han, Rok Soo, and tboah Cale.

"S-shut up!" tcf Cale said as he hide his embarrassment on his face with his hands.

'Hug? In the middle of a battle?'
Choi Han wondered if Cale even had such an affectionate side.
He gave a light hug to Cale, who was still keeping the shield up with one hand.

Cale shouted in a loud voice in order for the others to hear.
"I trust you!"

Choi Han suppressed his emotions as he answered back.

"...Thank you very much. I will definitely return with his head."

'Why is this punk saying such a thing?!'
Cale whispered in a quiet voice so that others could not hear.

"Don't kill him."

Why waste such a useful pawn and kill him right away?
Cale looked toward Choi Han, who was still so innocent albeit hanging out with him for so long, as he continued to speak. His voice sounded wicked.

"Pick up both of those white things."

"Ah."
Choi Han let out a gasp.
Cale's expression seemed to be saying that it was obvious.
It would be a waste to kill him right now. Shouldn't he at least figure out how to control the wyverns before killing Clopeh?
Furthermore, there was so much money to be made if he caught that bastard.

"Haaa.... This bastard is really something else." Tcf Alberu said.

"I will successfully complete this mission."

Choi Han jumped off the wall through the gap that Cale opened up in the shield for him. His feet then landed on the black bones of the Bone Dragon.

Tap.
Choi Han lightly jumped on top of the Bone Dragon.
He stood up straight and looked toward the two white things.

Choi Han, whose senses were beyond the limits of normal human hearing, heard Cale's faint but firm voice.

"Start."

Cale gave the order.
The still anonymous sword master and the Dragon, an existence that had been forgotten about in the world.
The two beings who would soon be recorded in the continent's history started to move following Cale's order.

CHAPTER 11: HENITUSE TERRITORY WAR 3

As Reid back from the pantry to get another batch of coffee felt the atmosphere at the theater is quite tense even before he left. As he returns to his spot he immediately looks at them.

<" Seems most of you are quite tense, so let's continue to lessen that as we will see the result of the battle."> Reid said.

Right after he said it the screen in front of them immediately started without any interruptions unlike before. Meanwhile, tcf White star is right now impatient because he wants to know already why his idiot people lost to someone like tcf Cale Henituse. On the other hand, tcf Sayeru just looks at his liege and shakes his head on how his liege acting lately.

CHAPTER 11: HENITUSE TERRITORY WAR 3 (CHAPTER 198: THERE'S A DRAGON? 3)

Guardian Knight Clopeh Sekka could not believe it.
There was a Black Bone Dragon and a black-haired sword master standing in front of him as if they were guarding the Henituse castle.

'Now there is even a sword master?!
How could there be such a crazy territory?!'

The fact that they did not have the Roan Kingdom's royal crest made it seem as if all of these forces belonged to the Henituse household. Clopeh's expression stiffened up.

Knowing this all of them flinched at their seats especially to the tcf world. They already know those people are the subordinates of tcf Cale, it gives them a different feeling especially if the other person confirmed it and does not them realize this. Seeing the connections of tcf Cale throughout the continent made them realize that they need stick to tcf Cale for more power most of the noble thought. Some people think that they need to stop tcf Cale because it can shake their power or reputations.

It was at that moment.

"Captain-nim."

One of his subordinate knights approached him.
It was the same one that had come up when the Flying Skeleton Brigade had first appeared. He was the only one who was allowed to come to talk to Clopeh.

"What is it?"

Clopeh kept his gaze locked on Choi Han as he answered back. The subordinate started to speak. It was a voice that was full of trust.

"It seems like someone like you, who will become a legend, will always have tall walls to climb."

Clopeh's expression became odd. Fear and greed both filled his face. He then gave an order to his subordinate.

"Put all of our strength into destroying the shield."
"Yes, I understand."

"Oh!! My god Cale-nim! the one who shows me the truth. Let this lowly subject of yours repent his sins and acknowledge his worth as he will help you to make a path to become a legend." Tcf Clopeh said.

Several people shivered at the words that tcf Clopeh saying. Meanwhile, Duke Sekka is now questioning his parenting if there is something wrong he made to his son become this. Some people just confirmed one thing from tcf Clopeh and that is.

'He is crazy than before and it is creepy' most people thought.

The knight stepped back as Clopeh raised his sword into the air. The white aura shot up to the sky even farther and brighter than the black aura.

An aura was the sword master's identity.
It followed the owner's personality. That was why the Guardian Knight trusted his strength over that black-haired punk.

It was at that moment.

Grrrrr.

The white wyvern roared as well. Choi Han shouted in order to be heard through that roar.

"Come."

"Ha. What an arrogant kid!"

The white light turned into a ball and charged toward Choi Han. The Black Bone Dragon started to move as well.

It felt as if the entire heaven and earth was shaking.
The black light clashed against the white light and let out a screeching noise.

Rooooooooooar!

The white wyvern's claws scratched at the Bone Dragon's bones. It then tried to bite down on one of the dragon's wings as well.

However, it was futile.

"So, strong" tboah Mary said.

"Yes you are right another good mary, good mary is strong. Don't worry this great and might Raon Miru and good Mary will teach you to become strong." Raon said while tcf Mary nodded at the statement of Raon.

Scraaaaaaatch!

The claw could not scratch the bones of the Bone Dragon.
The wing bones also did not break.

This was an existence that stood above all other existences in the world.
Both the Whale tribe, the rulers of the ocean, and the Bear tribe and Lion tribe that aimed to be the rulers on land, were called tribes. Only Dragons were called, 'Dragons,' and not the Dragon tribe.

"Well duh? We are Great and mighty beings." Tboah Rasheel said.

It was not because they were large or strong.

They were a different class of existence.

The white wyvern screeched.
It started to bleed as one of its claws broke off. This white wyvern was a mutant that was stronger than the other wyverns.
That was why it believed that it could destroy this Bone Dragon. Although a living Dragon might be difficult, this was a dead Dragon that only had its bones remaining.

Unfortunately, there were no monsters that could break a Dragon's bones.

An existence at a lower class. That was not only the case for the wyvern.

Choi Han's sword easily blocked the white aura. He then observed Clopeh Sekka's face.

Baaaaang!

The white wyvern did not give up as it slammed into the Bone Dragon with its whole body. It was doing its best to turn the bones into rubble. The two swordsmen clashed once more as the wyvern crashed into the Bone Dragon.

Shhhhhh-

Clopeh was wily.
The white aura slithered like a snake and charged toward Choi Han.
In contrast, Choi Han's black aura went straight forward.
It instantly cut the neck off of the snaking white aura.

"You're not too bad!"

Clopeh still believed in his longer and brighter aura as he mocked Choi Han. However, there was no change in Choi Han's expression.
This lack of response made Clopeh start to frown.

"I guess someone like me needs obstacles like you in order to create my legend!"

"Legend my ass, what kind of a legend become a war prisoner and lunatic?" tcf White star said.

"Moreover I don't such a lame legend in my world when I became the ruler of this world." Tcf White star. Some people shivered at the plan of the tcf white star while tboah White star does not have any interest in his childish parallel self.

Twitch.
Choi Han's eyebrows twitched at that comment.
The Bone Dragon and the white wyvern moved away after ramming into each other.

It was the moment that Clopeh started to smirk after seeing the change in Choi Han's expression.

"I was going to quietly take care of you since you were so annoying, but you are speaking such nonsense."
"'...What?"

"Right Choi Han shut him up!" Raon shouted at tcf Choi Han.

"Right shut him up nya~!" Hong said.

"I already did Raon-nim but I will do it also in the future if he hinders the plans of Cale-nim." Tcf Choi Han said.

While hearing the conversation tcf Cale shudder in fear about the viciousness that tcf Choi Han and his kids emitted.

The Guardian Knight was at a loss for words after seeing Choi Han's gaze that looked as if he was looking down at him. Choi Han was indeed looking down at him for being an arrogant bastard.

Choi Han's black aura started to grow dimmer. It continued to grow dim until it became a lightless darkness.

The aura matched the personality of the user.
A lightless darkness.
That was the true nature of darkness, as well as the true nature of Choi Han that he developed in the Forest of Darkness. Choi Han had now chosen to accept that nature thanks to a certain someone.

His aura continued to grow dimmer.

Choi Han could not sit still after hearing the things this clueless person was saying.
'He thinks he will create a legend?'

Choi Han pointed the darkness toward Clopeh and started to speak.

"You are not the one who will create a legend. That role is already reserved for someone else."

Some of them stare at tcf Choi Han with intrigued stare with a question of who is the person pertaining to. As the people who know tcf Choi Han he is just talking about young master Cale.

Legend.
A new history.
'The history I will make in my second hometown with my second family.'

"Second family huh...." Tboah Choi Han said.

There was already an owner for that new history. Only that person had the qualifications to do such a thing.

"What?"

Clopeh asked in disbelief. However, he suddenly felt the back of his neck becoming cold. Choi Han's blade now had only a small amount of light left on it.
This was his current limit. He knew that he would walk a new path of the sword the day that he could make his sword go completely dark.

Choi Han shared the future he was going to make to Clopeh.

"I will create the path for him to get there."

"He is so loyal to that person." Tcf Valentino said while admiring tcf Choi Han.

The path for that person to become a legend.
He would be the one to create that path.
That was Choi Han's determination.

Mary was the only one who could hear this conversation.
The necromancer who was controlling this Bone Dragon that was a higher class of existence was pale.

A Dragon's bones change colors based on their attributes. That was why it was difficult for her to control these special bones. However, Mary's dead mana had dyed the area where the White Crown, the one that gave Cale the Dominating Aura ancient power, used to rest.
She had managed to do it.

She was the only one who was connected to that Bone Dragon right now. That was why she became the Dragon's ears and listened to the conversation.

She could clearly hear Choi Han's voice.

'The legend, I will create the path for him to get there.'

Mary's gaze headed to the front.
It was focused on Cale, who continued to keep the shield activated. She could even hear his quiet mumbling.

"What the hell are they talking about instead of fighting?"

"Haaa... you dense bastard." Tcf Eruhaben said.

It was said quietly so that others could not hear. However, Mary was able to hear it. Although his comment made him sound unreliable, Mary could clearly see what Cale was going through.

His back was drenched in sweat.
His shoulders were slightly shaking.
She knew that young master Cale was the one who was struggling the most right now. He was always like this.

"Young master please don't push yourself too hard. This old man will be quite concerned if there is something wrong happen to you. Tcf Ron said while caressing his dagger.

'This vicious old man why does he hold like that his dagger while saying those things?' tcf Cale thought. Seeing the reaction of tcf Cale made Rok soo and tboah Cale chuckle lightly at the current situation of tcf Cale.

"Lemon gramps is right human. This great and might dragon will protect you." Raon followed.

"Our youngest right!! We will protect you right noona?" Hong said while On just nodded with a smile on her face.

For Cale, it was hard to maintain this posture of keeping his arms out to pretend that he was forcing himself to keep the shield active.
He felt as if he was being punished, and his arms that were weaker than before were shaking in pain.

However, Mary looked at Cale's shaking hands as she remembered what Cale had told her three days ago when he activated the shield.

'Don't leave our side.
The number of people who want to harm you will increase the moment you use your powers for our territory.'

But Mary had already made up her mind.
She was more than willing to do this much for the people who showed her a beautiful world outside of the underground. Shielding her presence and hiding away was her specialty.

However, her thoughts had changed after hearing what Cale had said.

'But you do not need to worry.
You are not someone who should live in hiding.
I will let you live as you want.'

Tcf Obante cannot hide his gratefulness towards tcf Cale that he will protect tcf Mary from the people that may hurt her.

"He is a great leader to all of them," tboah Valentino said while admiring the sides of tcf Cale being a leader.

Cale's words had shaken her heart. Mary's hands that were covered in black blood veins started to move again.

Swooooooosh-

A strong winter breeze blew by them.
Mary's black robe was fluttering. It felt as if her hood would fall off from the wind, however, Mary did not push her hood back down with her hands.

There was something more important to do.

Nobody else could see her because she was currently invisible.
However, one person could feel it.

Choi Han looked down at his feet.

Black balls of light started to gather together in the Bone Dragon's bones. It was dead mana.
It was Mary's power.

The black lights that had only been at the Bone Dragon's pupils beforehand started to expand to cover the Bone Dragon's entire body. They then converged at the Bone Dragon's heart.

That made Choi Han instantly realize it.
He could understand what Mary was trying to say.

'You feel the same way.
You and I are trying to walk the same path.'

It was times like these that made Choi Han truly feel that he was not alone. How could he fear anything in such a situation?

'Yes, even though I am different from him I am not also alone anymore' tboah Choi Han thought while looking at tboah Rosalyn and lock.

Choi Han reached his hand out. The Bone Dragon started to move in rhythm with him, as if it had become his feet.
The swordsman and the Dragon.
Both were moving as one.

Boom.

The pair were not very loud.

Rooooooooooar!
The Dragon's fangs bit down on the white wyvern's neck.

Slash.
The white aura was instantly cut at the same time. Clopeh's eyes turned wide. The lightless darkness soon covered his sight.

Kiiiiiiiii-!

Blood started to spurt out of the white wyvern's neck. The Bone Dragon's claws stabbed through the blood. Its claws were clenching onto the white wyvern's neck.

Choi Han grabbed onto the Bone Dragon's neck bone.

"Mary, let's go up."

Mary responded to his statement.
Flap, flap.
Her dead mana spread like spiderwebs in order to create wings for the Bone Dragon.

Mary's eyes started to become covered in black thread-like blood veins. However, she did not stop.
She was currently growing.
She was about to overcome a wall.

Her hands clasped around the neck she could not see.

Grrrrr-!
The white wyvern's neck started to become dyed black.

"Ugh!"

Clopeh pulled on the reins in order to regain his balance. His white aura then shot out toward the Bone Dragon's front paw. However, the Bone Dragon started to flap its wings.

It was going up.

The Bone Dragon continued to keep the white wyvern in its paw as it shot up farther and farther into the sky.
Choi Han was stationed at the Bone Dragon's head as it flew up.

One of the knights standing on top of the wall could not help but comment.

"...Dragon Knight."

The knight's heart was going wild as he said that. It was a title that held a significant weight that was incomparable to that of a Wyvern Knight.
The knight's gaze was focused on the sky. The direction of this battle would turn based on the result of the battle between the Bone Dragon and the white wyvern.

It was at that moment.

Baaaaang!

A loud noise made the knight open his eyes wide.
Cale, who was watching, could not do anything as his jaws dropped.

One of the stone mountains lost its peak.
The Bone Dragon had slammed the white wyvern into the mountain.

- Dragons really are strong! Wyverns are as weak as a tiny tree branch! But I, the great and mighty Dragon, Raon Miru, am even more amazing than that Bone Dragon!

"Tch, to think that bastard to betray me and let think dragon live." Tcf White star said with annoyance in his tone of voice.

For those, he hears it look at tcf White star with a furious look at their faces, especially both Sheritt.

Cale listened to Raon's excited voice as if it was background music as he nervously chuckled.

'...I hope they didn't kill him.'

Cale nervously looked toward the stone mountain while hoping that he did not lose out on a pile of gold.

"Wow, that was your concern during that time?" tcf ALberu said before letting out a sigh.

Grrrrr, grr!
There was blood coming out of the wyvern's mouth, however, the wyvern could only flail around. It could not get up. The thing that had slammed it into the mountain, that stupid Bone Dragon, was stepping on its head and looking down at it.

"Ugh......!"

However, Clopeh was still fine. He had jumped away from the wyvern the moment it was thrown and managed to land safely.
However, he continued to grow his aura.

Slash.

It happened again.
His white aura was slashed again.
No matter how hard he tried to wrap around Choi Han like a snake, his sword could not cut him.

That person had followed him right after he had landed on the ground.

"It looks like your sword is a white snake. It suits you better than the wyvern."

Clopeh started to shiver after hearing Choi Han's calm voice.
A white snake.
That was the true symbol of the Sekka household. The qualifications for becoming a Guardian Knight rested with such snake-like characters.

"Y, you nameless bastard dares to go against a Guardian Knight like myself......!"

They look at tcf Clopeh's direction but what they see is only a bastard kneeling on the floor while his are holding together and saying some words that seem like a ..... Prayer? After seeing these they are thankful there is a barrier around him so that they cannot his ramblings at all.

Clopeh's sword charged toward Choi Han once again, however, Choi Han only had two words to say.

"So annoying."

That was it.
Clopeh could see the darkness approaching him once again. The white snake's body was gobbled up by the darkness.

Clang-!
Clopeh's sword fell to the ground.

"M, my arm......! Ugh!"

There was no longer an arm attached to Clopeh's right shoulder. His neck was then choked by the black-haired man just as the Bone Dragon had done to the white wyvern.
He could not breathe. The pain from being unable to breathe made it so that he could not feel the pain from losing his arm. He heard a cold voice at that moment.

"Tell the wyverns to stop."

Choi Han was giving him an order.
He took out the flute from Clopeh's pocket and motioned to him with his eyes.
All he had left to do was to return after successfully fulfilling Cale's order.

He had caught both the white wyvern and the Guardian Knight alive. He did not kill either of them.

"Ugh, ugh!"

He could hear the Guardian Knight gasping for breath.
Choi Han's expression changed.

The Guardian Knight was shaking his head.
Maybe it was because he could not breathe, but he was crying like a baby as he shook his head.

This suddenly made Choi Han question the details.

'How, how could a white snake control a wyvern?'
An aura was the user's identity.
A white snake could not control a wyvern.

Choi Han turned his head. He immediately jumped back on the Bone Dragon and shouted to Mary.

"We need to go back!"

"He seems to notice it immediately," tcf White star said while munching on cookies to relieve some stress.

There was more.
This was not it.

The Bone Dragon flew back up into the sky. Choi Han then heard a noise.

He heard a whistle.
Someone was quietly whistling.

It was the helmet-wearing knight, the only one that was allowed to talk to Clopeh Sekka. He was the one that was whistling.

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!

The wyvern underneath the Bone Dragon's feet started to run wild. The wyvern struggled so much that its veins started to pop out. It was moving as if it had forgotten about fear and death. The wyvern that had no energy to move tried to slowly crawl through the ground.

"Damn it......!"

Choi Han and the Bone Dragon started to fly toward the helmeted knight.
However, the knight moved first.

The other wyverns all charged toward the shield.

Baaaaang! Baaaaang!

They could see the wyverns' wings, claws, and arms breaking apart.
However, the wyverns did not stop. They were trying to cut through the shield as if they had gone crazy.

The silver shield started to become drenched in red blood.

- Human, the wyverns seem to have gone nuts! How cute!

But Cale could not hear Raon's voice.

'...The Guardian Knight is not the one that controls the wyverns?
It was the Guardian Knight in the novel!'

Cale realized that there were things that had not been revealed in the first five volumes.

The helmeted knight.
He had no knowledge about this person.

That knight got on a wyvern and headed toward Cale.
However, there was nothing in the knight's hand.

It was at that moment.

- Human, something is weird. I can feel the power of nature on him.

'What?
Power of nature?
...An ancient power?'

Cale could see a sword starting to appear in the helmeted knight's hand. He could easily tell what it was.

That was a sword.
It was an ancient power in the shape of a sword.

That sword continued to get longer and wider.
It almost looked like a spear now.

"What?! There some ancient powers that are like that?" some bystander said.

It was at that moment.

Boom.

Cale could feel his heart start to beat wildly.
He then heard the voice of the glutton priestess.

- You will block it.

The shield started to shrink.

"What the hel......!"

Cale could not speak properly. His entire body was heating up. He was not in pain, however, it was getting hard to breathe.
The ancient powers were roaring inside of his body.

The tattoos around his body felt as if they were on fire.

The shield continued to shrink as that happened.
The silver wings disappeared as well.

No could react as they process the events that were happening right in front of their eyes. As they focus their eyes on the current situation of the battle and think if they can handle that kind of power.

They continued to shrink until it became a tiny shield. However, Raon's shield continued to prevent the wyverns from coming in.

At that moment, Cale could see the helmeted knight starting to smile.

"Try blocking this."

"I am sure that he can't block it." Tcf White Star confidently said.

The helmeted knight slowly threw the sword.
The large sword that had become a spear shot down toward Cale.

- ...Human, something is weird about it! I will create more shields!

Raon created more layers of shields until there were four total layers.
However, something still felt off.

It felt as if magic would not work on that sword.

A natural disaster.
This was the term for the most dangerous things in nature.
Hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, hail.

These were all natural disasters.

"Sword of Disasters," tcf Cale said in a low voice.

Looking at that sword made Raon think about that term.
It was something that had the destructive forces of nature in it.
The six-year-old Dragon's instincts were telling him something.

It was saying it was not possible to block the sword with magic.

The only thing that could block that sword was a Dragon.
A Dragon's Breath or a Dragon's body.
It had to be the sturdy body of a creature that was in a class of its own.

There were only a few seconds before the sword would hit Cale.
Raon's eyes were focused on Cale during those few seconds.
His body subconsciously started to move forward.

It was at that moment.
He could hear Cale's voice.

"Fuck!"

That shout made Raon return to his senses. He then started to shout.

- Mary! Call the Dragon!

Raon increased the number of shields.
Five layers, six layers.
The Black Dragon that had yet to go through his first growth phase and could not use Dragon's Breath was reaching his limit.

Crack.
However, the natural disaster easily destroyed the shields the moment it touched them. A shield like this was a child's toy to this destructive natural disaster.
One, two. The shields quietly started to disappear.

'I just need to resist.
I just need to resist until Mary's Dragon gets here.'

"Cale-nim I am sorry that we did not figure it out immediately." Tcf Choi Han said while looking at tcf Cale.

"No need to apologize for, past is past." Tcf Cale said.

Raon created new shields whenever a layer was destroyed.
He then heard Cale's voice.
"Enough."

Raon flinched.
He then looked toward Cale.

It was at that moment.

Baaaaaang!

The people on the wall could not do anything as they heard the loud noise and a flash of light.
The last thing they saw was the Black Bone Dragon ramming into the large sword.
Once their vision returned, they could see that the Dragon's bones were breaking, although it had caused a crack in the sword.
However, these lifeless old Dragon bones were not enough. They were not enough to destroy the sword.

Raon could see that this was the case.
This six-year-old baby Dragon that lacked experience sensed danger for the first time. Raon's body started to move.

"He, hehe-"

He heard Cale laughing at that moment.
Raon turned his head. He could see Cale coughing up a large amount of blood. Cale was bleeding from his mouth, nose, and ears as he continued to laugh.
A voice was going off inside of Cale's mind.

- Isn't that my sword?

It was the previous owner of the Dominating Aura.
He was the one that was speaking.

"What?! That is the sword of the former owner of ancient power?" tcf Bud said.

- That's the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Cale realized it at that moment.

'Dragon Slayer. That helmet's sword is the Dragon Slaying Sword.'

That was the reason it had managed to destroy the Bone Dragon.
He then thought about the crown he had stolen from the North.
It was the white crown that looked similar to the crown that had disappeared when he gained the Dominating Aura.
It was the crown in his magic bag that was said to like Dragon's blood.

The sword and the crown. Cale realized that they must be a pair.
That was the reason the crown had been in the North.

There was one more thing.
He realized this fact, as if his instincts were telling him.
It was the faint vision of the future that the World Tree had seen.
It was one of the three things the World Tree had told him. This was the third thing, aside from Raon's parents and the Water of Judgment.

"The world tree?!" Most of the people were shocked at this information. They thought that it was only a legend but as they hear that young master Cale meet the world tree it can proof that the world tree really does exist.

"Hmm? So the world tree is the one who says they must find me." Tcf Sheritt said while tboah Sheritt is silent as he will never meet again his son in this timeline.

'The person who is collecting ancient powers has collected a total of three ancient powers.'

'It must have been talking about this helmeted bastard.'

'It may be Syrem, the one that the world tree talking about but I feel that the world tree is talking about White star which is also collecting ancient power for his goal.' Tcf Cale thought.

"Haa.... Why I need to deal with these things to achieve my slacker-life!!" tcf Cale said while the others looked at him with pity on their eyes that tcf Cale can't achieve his dream unless this war and the fight against the tcf White star ended.

"...You son of a bitch."

Cale clenched his fists.
His whole body was shaking.

"Raon, don't move!"

Cale shouted toward the invisible baby Dragon as he focused on the words in his mind.

- Are you trying to sacrifice yourself?

'No! I will never hurt myself for others.'

Cale ignored the Super Rock's question.
Instead, he focused his thoughts on the words of his fellow glutton.
The glutton priestess.
He could hear her voice.

- This is enough.

The tattoo on Cale's heart had changed.
The silver shield tattoo had received a heart in it when he had received the Vitality of the Heart. That red heart was slowly turning silver.

The shield had eaten up the first power.

Cale poured out as much of the shield as possible.

A natural disaster.
And the Vitality of the Heart. It was the restoration power of the human who did not want to live.
The power of a human to overcome natural disasters came from their vitality and their desire to live.

Baaaaaang!

Although there were cracks on the still large sword, the tip of it still ran into the tiny shield.

A light brighter than the one earlier covered the entire Henituse territory.
Cale could see Choi Han jumping behind the helmeted knight like a devil before he lost his sight. He could also feel Raon supporting his back with his paws as he heard the priestess's voice.

- Good job.

Cale quickly realized it.

He had blocked it.

The power of restoration and the will to live.
It was the power of humans, who managed to survive through all sorts of nature's attacks.

The shield did not break.

"Cale-nim...." Tcf Choi Han said.

"Cutie you need to take care of yourself." Jour followed.

"Your Mother is right human you must take care of yourself," Raon said.

"Stop being a suicidal idiot okay?! We did not switch places for you to die immediately!" Rok soo said.

"Suicidal? Wow coming from you?!" tcf Cale retorted while tboah Cale just silently look at them back and forth. As the two continue Soo Hyuk decided to interfere in their small fight. Most of the people from side B are glad to see another side of Cale and wish that they can see more in the future.

<" So that's it! The last 2 chapters only and we will return to the aftermath of the sea war where those old geezers do something on tcf Cale. Then I will be leaving you all again see you later"> Reid said before leaving them again.

CHAPTER 12: HENITUSE TERRITORY WAR 4

<" Are you all still good?"> Reid asks.

Everyone nodded and was still satisfied at their stay in the domain of Reid. Reid seems also satisfied as he thinks he needs to invite more people even they are not from this parallel world. He remembered his friend Secretive Plotter said something to him that there is an interesting nebula right now. He is thinking if he would make a sub scenario for them to join here and use his last win from Chronos to request if he can also stop that dimension. Reid is now contemplating if he will do it or not but he choose the latter.

<' It is just there will never get any benefits doing that here.'> Reid thought.

"Uncle?" Rok soo called his uncle that seems on the deep thought.

<" Ah! Yes yes, we will now proceed. Sorry for the delay."> Reid said while focusing again on the clips that he will now show.

CHAPTER 12: HENITUSE TERRITORY WAR 4 (CHAPTER 199 THERE'S A DRAGON? 4)

The highest point of the Henituse territory.
Basen was still in the highest room of the castle tower.

"Hyu, hyung-nim!"

"Hyung/Orabouni!!" both Lily and Basen shouted while watching the scene.

Basen's shout echoed out. He was holding onto the rails with one hand as if he was about to jump off the tower to rush toward Cale.

Even tcf Choi Han wants to go immediately at tcf Cale that time but he thinks that tcf Cale will say that he must focus on his task and he is ok. He tightens his grip on the hilt of his sword and swears that he will get stronger.

He was looking at the origin of the flash of light.

Basen Henituse heard a noise just as his sights returned.

Craaaaaaack.

The large sword that had received a crack prior to the attack.
That sword slowly cracked completely before disappearing into the air. A few of the wyverns that touched the specks of the disappearing sword instantly turned into ash. However, something else caught his attention before he could feel fear about what he had just seen.

He saw the shield.
The extremely small shield did not break. However, there was a crack where the sword had hit it, as if it was going to instantly break. In fact, the shield had cracks all over it.
It looked ready to break at any moment.

He then saw his hyung-nim, Cale Henituse.

Beeeeeep- Beeeeeeep-

The information communication room.
All sorts of emergency calls were flooding in.
There were especially a lot of calls from all over the northeast region.

Many video communication devices were currently connected to the Henituse territory.
They had seen the battlefield through the screen.

However, Basen could not hear any of those loud noises. All he could see was his hyung-nim who was barely managing to stand.

Tcf Alberu just clicked his tongue out of annoyance because he can't do anything at that time. He felt powerless after seeing the condition of tcf Cale at that time.

He could also see the black blood Cale was coughing up. The seventeen-year-old Basen felt the pain of war for the first time in his life.
It was at that moment.

– Basen Henituse.

He heard crown prince Alberu's voice.
He had not heard it properly the first time, however, the significantly dry voice quickly brought Basen back to his senses.

– What did your hyung-nim order you to do?

Basen raised his head.
He recalled what his Cale had told him.

He turned his head and looked around the information communication room. This was currently the center of information for the entire Roan Kingdom. Information was the most important factor in a war.

"Yes, it is important that the flow of information will not stop especially during times like that." Tboah Alberu said.

– If you do not want to be embarrassed, no, if you do not want to regret this in the future, do not forget your task.

Although Alberu was saying this to Basen, he was saying it to himself as well.
Alberu's face that was visible through the screen was bloodshot as he focused on what was going on in the Henituse territory.

"It is good that they are prepared and it is also good that they are still not complacent on the battle that is currently happening even though they have the advantage" tcf bud said while waiting for the events to unfold more.

He said one more thing to Basen.
– The First Brigade of the Royal Knights and the Mage Brigade are currently heading toward the Henituse territory.

Cale Henituse had told him to wait.
However, the crown prince started to play his part in order to not be embarrassed or regret things in the future.

"He is a good leader," tboah Eruhaben said.

"Yes, that is true," tcf Eruhaben said.

Tcf Alberu is glad that the ancient dragons praised him but this is not the right time for him to react to it as he continues to watch the video on the screen.

The Roan Kingdom's Mage Brigade took their first step to show themselves to the world for the first time.
Basen also started to order the knights responsible for the video communication devices.

"...We are going to start accurately relaying the information about the enemies to the entire Roan Kingdom."

His brother had told him something three days ago, the same night as the crown prince's proclamation.

'We are the first line.'

His brother's voice was clearly reappearing in his mind.

'He said that the first line was extremely important. If people hear about how we survived and protected the castle, the morale of the Roan Kingdom would change.'

Most of the people nodded at the statement of tcf Cale it is important to boost the morale of the soldiers by winning at the first battle.

'We need to etch the image of victory in the minds of the citizens.
That is the way for us to win the war.'

His hyung-nim had been his usual calm self as he said this.

'That is the way for all of us to survive.'

The person who had said that was barely hanging on right now.
Basen gave an order to the mages.

"Let's accurately relay how we win this battle."

The morale of the Roan Kingdom will change positively from here onward.
Basen firmly believed that to be the case. He lowered his head to look toward the castle wall.

The mixed-blood Dwarf Rat Mueller was currently on top of the wall. He had opened his eyes after hearing a noise as well.

Craaaaaaack.

The castle walls.
There were cracks appearing on the castle wall.

'The walls that I developed......!'

This cowardly yet prideful mixed-blood Dwarf Rat had an emotion other than fear in his eyes. However, he could only gasp as the Countess still had her hand on his neck.

"Gasp!"

He was flung aside. Mueller felt his body being flung to the side. He then heard a scream.

"Cale!"

Countess Violan was screaming. He also heard Count Deruth's shout as well.

"Everybody focus!"

Mueller raised his head. The always calm and gentle Count's expression was extremely ugly.
The Count had veins popping out of his forehead as he gave the order.

"Activate the catapults right away!"

The Count took out his sword and approached the edge of the wall and looked down as he continued to speak. There was anger, sorrow, and uncertainty mixed in his voice.
"Don't let even a single one live!"

"It is right that you must not give any chances the enemies to attack before you." Tcf Fredo said while thinking about his plan to have a deal with tcf Cale.

Mueller heard something else at the same time.

Baaaaang!

The first thing he saw was a silver light.
It was not Cale's shield. This silver light that looked like the milky way continued to appear above Rain City.

It was a shield.
This shield that seemed to be imitating Cale's silver shield was continuing to appear in the air.
One, two, three, four. More silver shields continued to appear as they covered the sky over and over again.
Although he was mixed-blood, the fact that he was a Dwarf allowed Mueller to know the source of that shield right away.

'A Dragon.'
He knew only a Dragon could do this.
He thought about the young Dragon that lived in this territory.
The young Dragon had created these shields.

There was also someone Mueller was very familiar with standing by the shields.

Choi Han.
Choi Han was currently fighting against the helmeted knight. His black aura was viciously shaking as he fought. Although it was still dark with just a small speck of light, this aura was raging more angrily than ever before.

"Ha, haha-"

And then there was the sword that was easily blocking against that aura.
The helmeted knight was laughing as he used the sword-shaped ancient power to block Choi Han's attacks. He did not look to be struggling even though the sword had been destroyed once already.

Baaaaang!

Their weapons clashed against each other.
Choi Han took a step back and stumbled.

Tap.
There were things helping to support Choi Han in the air.

It was the Flying Skeleton Brigade that had been running away.
They had come back, no, Mary had brought them back in order to create a path for Choi Han to walk in the air. Choi Han and the numerous white skeletons were fighting against the wyvern-riding helmeted knight. It was hard to see the two of them because of the number of flying skeletons.

However, there was someone who had a good view of all of this.

Mary.
She had dead mana covering her body as her hands continued to shake. Her problem was that she could see things too clearly.

"Cale!"

The Countess arrived to support Cale, who was just barely standing up. She held back another scream.
Cale had plopped down as soon as she supported him.

Black blood was seeping out of Cale's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Cale was coughing up so much blood that it looked as if he would have trouble breathing.

<" No need to worry these scenes like this will be censored to the eyes of the children."> Reid said as he assured them that it will not traumatize the children.

The Countess could feel Cale's body starting to turn cold. Her son's body was starting to turn cold.
She could see a doctor and a priest heading toward them from the distance.

"Cale, just a bit, hold on just a bit longer."

She started to massage Cale's body and arms. There was so much blood coming out of him that she was worried that he would have no blood left.

She heard Cale's quiet voice at that moment.

"... I ... I'm okay."

"What do you mean you are okay? Even if you have an ancient power of healing it will still not be a reason to push yourself hard. I don't your children to lose you and your new family. Also, it is not hard to ask for help you know? Your family is composed of strong people so trust them and ask them for help okay?" Soo Hyuk said.

Tcf Cale just nodded at his Hyung as a response. Soo Hyuk just made a sigh after seeing the response of his dongsaeng and immediately hugged him. Jung soo, Rok Soo and tboah Cale joined the hug. After a few moments, they return their attention to the condition of tcf Cale at the screen.

'What?'
Her pupils started to shake as she looked at Cale. The priest and the doctor that approached him flinched.

There was a voice crying in Cale's mind right now.

– Human, you are bleeding too much. Human, this is different than normal. Human, please, human. Please stop bleeding. I will not let him survive! I will kill him even if I have to die as well.

"Stay here."

Cale's hand moved to grab the air.
The Countess started to frown after seeing trying to grab the air. She thought that Cale was hallucinating. His mind must be damaged as well.
She finally calmed down after seeing the Count looking as if he was going to go crazy while looking at Cale. At least one of them had to think straight.
However, it was hard for her to control her emotions after hearing what Cale said next.

"...You'll get hurt if you go......"

The words he barely managed to say made it difficult for her to hold back her tears. The things that he was saying while coughing up blood, the things that he was saying even though his mind must be a mess.
Even during this moment!
It made her feel as if her heart was breaking.
Cale finally managed to speak again.

"... Stay by my side- cough!"

"Damn it I can't watch this if I am sober." Both Bud shouted as Reid heard their wishes he immediately gave them some wine to drink.

"Even if he is in that kind of condition, he still cares for his children to not get hurt." Tboah Litana said.

'What a good parent.' Tboah Litana added but he decided not to say as the atmosphere is too much right now.

Cale coughed up blood again. He then started to bleed out once more.
Cale did not manage to say the remaining words out loud.

'Kill him.'

Stay by my side and kill him.

Only one being understood his words. The bottom of Cale's pants was getting wet by something other than blood even though it was not raining.
The existence that was wetting Cale's pants with his tears had understood Cale's words.

– I will kill him.

"They really understand each other well." Tboah Rosalyn said.

Ruuuumble.
The cloudy sky started to roar again.

The sword that was like a natural disaster.
Although Raon could not recreate that sword, Dragon could do something similar.

It was not hard to imitate it.
That was why he was a Dragon.

A storm.
Hail.

The Dragon started to use his powers to sweep everything away. The sky was starting to turn black.
At the same time, Raon, the young Dragon, recalled something he had heard from the ancient Dragon. He finally seemed to figure out why Cale was acting like this.
The ancient Dragon, Eruhaben, had casually said something while teaching Raon.

'Little kid, have you heard about the Dragon Slayers? They're called Dragon Catchers sometimes too.'

Raon had not liked that word at all. How dare they capture the great and mighty Dragons?

'Well, you will probably never have to deal with a Dragon Slayer trying to kill you. In fact, the Dragon Slayer would probably do all sorts of things to keep you alive.'
The ancient Dragon Eruhaben had thought that Cale had been a descendant of the Dragon Slayer household. He had not said that while imagining a day like today.
It was just common knowledge that he was sharing with Raon.

"Again, Eruhaben-nim I am not a dragon slayer and I did not have any connection about them." Tcf Cale said while Rok Soo and tboah Cale agreed immediately.

"Yes, Yes I know unlucky bastard." Tcf Eruhaben said.

'Dragon Slayers are unique individuals. They have overcome the limits of human beings. They are similar to nature.'

Humans who were similar to nature. Those words had made Raon respond back to Eruhaben.

'Our weak human is similar to nature as well!'
'That is why I'm saying that your weak human punk is a Dragon-! Well, I guess I should pretend not to know since he is trying to hide it.'
'What are you saying?'
'Nothing. Anyways, listen to me, little kid. If a Dragon Slayer comes after you, run.'

Raon had snorted at that warning, however, Eruhaben continued to speak in a serious tone.

'Those bastards are humans who grow by eating Dragons.'

Each Dragon had different colors and attributes. Dragons were said to be the closest existences to nature. They needed to eat Dragons in order to become more like nature.

'Young Dragons like you have to be especially careful. Your body has not grown up and you can't use Dragon's Breath. Well, you have the unlucky punk by your side, so you'll probably be fine growing up slowly.'
'There is no way the great and mighty me will get hurt!'

Eruhaben chuckled as he responded back.

'Little kid, there are no great and mighty existences in the world.'

Raon, the Black Dragon, finally realized that today.

'I am not great and mighty.
I am still far from it.'

Raon and the children keep on snuggling tcf Cale, Rok Soo, and tboah Cale as they did not what to see that condition of their father.

"That is right human I am still far away from being a great and mighty dragon," Raon said with a sad tone.

"Don't say that everyone is great and mighty at their own and don't belittle yourself Raon it is not good." Tcf Cale said while comforting Raon.

'Says the one who belittles himself and his health condition every time.' Tcf Alberu thought while looking at Raon and tcf Cale.

Raon looked at the hand that was holding onto his invisible paw. There was blood dripping from that hand. Raon put his emotions into his magic.

Drip, drip.
It started to rain.

The remaining wyverns continued to rush toward the silver shield. The Bears dodged the catapults and arrows as they charged toward the cracked castle walls.
The Tigers tried to hit the Bears from the back, however, there were at least ten Bears for each Tiger.

It was at that moment.

Rumble-

The rain started to change.
The rain turned into a storm and then into a hail storm as it started to roar.
Then a thunderbolt struck down from the sky.

Kiiiiiiiii-!

Tens, no, hundreds of thunderbolts fell toward the wyvern knights and the Bears. The thunderbolts aimed at the enemies without even a tiny bit of error.
These thunderbolts were like that sword from earlier, sharply trying to slash everything in their way.

However, there was a person who was able to easily slash away that storm and hail.

"This place is really fun. Is it a mage that is trying to copy me? Who is it?"

"You idiot! Mage really?! That is your guess? Now I see why you lost you useless piece of shit!" tcf White star shouted again.

"That is not a war between humans anymore or a war that can humans easily win with." Tboah Lock said.

"There no humans can handle this kind of fight at any rate." Tboah Rosalyn said.

The helmeted knight.
He licked his lips as he cut through the hail and thunderbolts and looked around. The ancient powers that Raon had felt earlier.
The power that reminded him of natural disasters.
The knight's sword that consisted of storms, hail, and volcanic eruptions easily handled the fake imitations.
The helmeted knight's gaze turned toward Choi Han. He chuckled while watching Choi Han spit out some blood. The black aura was rumbling in accordance with its owner's emotions.
The helmeted knight made eye contact with Choi Han.

"Maybe you'd have a chance if you had achieved pure darkness, but you are still far from it."

'What did he mean? It must be good if I ask my parallel self about this.' Tboah Choi Han thought while thinking about how he will approach his parallel self.

The knight lightly swung his sword. The back of his hand was slightly bleeding.

The black aura had caused this injury.
However, the helmeted knight showed no fear. The Dwarves' armor was protecting his body.
It was the creation of the Dwarves that wanted to kill Dragons.

After hearing this all of the dragons glared towards the direction of both White stars and start to emit their dragon fear. It is also disappeared immediately as Reid removed it.

It was good enough to be a Dragon Catcher's armor.

'I still can't lower my guard around him.'

Clang!
The two swords clashed again.
The black aura that suddenly appeared in front of him made a small cut on his left cheek. At the same time, his volcanic ancient power slammed down onto the black aura.

Baaaaang!

The noise was loud enough to drown out the thunderbolts.

"I told you, you can't win."

"Says the one who is now barely breathing," tcf White star said while looking at the separate space of Syrem like tcf Clopeh that has a different barrier around it.

The knight laughed and Choi Han clenched his teeth. Even Choi Han knew what the knight was trying to say.

'If I managed to complete it......!'

The black aura. It would have been a better battle if he had completed the darkness.

'Just what the hell is that sword?'
His aura could not win against the sword. It seemed to be at a completely different level. Choi Han stood on top of one of the few skeletons remaining as he tried to catch his breath.

He was having trouble breathing.

'He is strong.
He is stronger than me.

Tboah Choi Han grips his sword tightly as he heard that this knight is stronger than his other self that seems stronger than himself.

Just one step.
I could have defeated him if I took just one more step forward!'

"Huff, huff."

How long had it been since he had trouble breathing like this? He had not experienced this for over ten years.
Choi Han could not wipe away the blood that came out every time he took a breath.
After coughing up blood for the first time in a long time, it felt odd to him. He realized something at that moment.

Cale had always coughed up even more blood each time.

Most of the people from side B frowned at this statement even the Koreans knowing the nature of tcf Cale.

Choi Han started to frown.
This person is strong.

However, Choi Han did not have the thought of losing in his mind. Choi Han started to frown even more as the helmeted knight mockingly continued to speak.

"I came because they said that there was someone with ancient powers, but I didn't think he would cough up blood like they said he would. His body is weak. He doesn't have the plate to support it, but he still gathered ancient powers?" The knight's comments were making Choi Han angry.

"Nature allowed that punk to gain access to ancient powers?"

"He dares to mock my legend?!" tcf Clopeh suddenly shouted as a result some of the people jolted in shock. Tcf Clopeh is keeping himself quiet while repenting his sins by praying his own made prayer to his legend and suddenly shouted that everyone in the theater can hear.

The knight was speaking as if Cale had taken things that he should not have been allowed to take.
That was why Choi Han's mind was in a mess right now.

Honestly speaking, Cale Henituse was the one that the helmeted knight found to be the most interesting.

Only people who had nature's permission, the people with the plate to support them, could earn ancient powers.
Although the people of the world thought that you needed heaven's mandate to be lucky enough to find ancient powers, it was actually calculated by nature about who would get access to them.

That was why the knight could not believe that someone like Cale could have two ancient powers.

'Why someone with such a small plate?'

The power of wood and regeneration.
Those were the powers that the helmeted knight realized as he clashed against Cale's shield.

Choi Han was the person he found to be the second most interesting.

This was someone whose plate was almost as large as his own. He found it weird that nature did not bestow any ancient power onto Choi Han.

Choi Han charged toward the knight who seemed to be thinking about something else. The two of their swords clashed once again.

Baaaaang!

The vibrations from the clash destroyed the surrounding skeletons and shook the air.
The half-transparent sword and black aura were pushing against each other as the two men stared at one another. Choi Han could see the brown eyes behind the helmet. The helmeted knight started to smile.

'Danger.'

Choi Han tried to step back.
It had been a while since he had felt such a feeling.

It was something that reminded him of Eruhaben, the ancient Dragon. The helmeted knight's eyes looked deep into Choi Han's eyes. The knight then whispered to Choi Han.

"...You've also lived a long time."

"What?!" tboah Choi Han shouted while looking at tcf Choi Han that give him a nod.

Those words made Choi Han flinch.

'You too?'

That slight hesitation made the knight start to smile.
His arm started to move.

"Ugh!"

He had caught Choi Han by the neck. However, that was just the beginning. Mary's monsters quickly bit into the wyvern that the helmeted knight was riding on in order to help Choi Han out.

However, the knight stabbed his sword into Choi Han's shoulder.
It dug into the wound like hail, rushed at it like a storm, and burned at it like a volcano.

The helmeted knight started to smile while continuing to choke Choi Han. Choi Han looked pitiful as the knight continued to choke him.

"This was fun. It was worth coming out for the first time in a long time. I'm sure I'll see you again."

The knight chuckled while looking at Choi Han's frowning face. His face was full of anger and pain. The knight slowly let go while continuing to look at Choi Han.

However, he saw the emotion disappearing from Choi Han's face at that moment.

Grab.

The hand at the bottom of the stabbed shoulder grabbed the helmeted knight's hand. Choi Han's other hand then grabbed onto the sword stabbed in his shoulder.
It all happened in a moment.

Siiiiiizzle-
Choi Han's palm started to burn, as if he was touching lava.
Choi Han observed the helmeted knight with an emotionless expression for a split second.

This was Choi Han's real face.
Choi Han, who had flinched on purpose, showed his true expression.

His true expression was one of no expression. His face had stiffened up after living for so long, such that it showed no emotion.

"Vicious," Tcf Cale said without knowing that the others hear him.

"Cale-nim..." tcf Choi Han said with a look that is look like an abandoned puppy.

"Why he is staring at me like that?" tcf Cale said. Rok soo and tboah Cale that were near to him just shake their heads because of the denseness of their brother.

Kick.

Choi Han's foot kicked at the wyvern's neck.
He then jumped down with the helmeted knight and the sword in each of his hands.

The skeletons hesitated before quickly moving away. The wyvern that no longer had the knight was immediately hit with a thunderbolt.

Screeeech-! Boom!

The final wyvern fell to the ground.
The Dragon had killed the last wyvern. He then headed outside of the silver shield that he had created. The Dragon was the only one left in the air.

Choi Han was currently falling down together with the helmeted knight.

"Are you crazy?"

The helmeted knight kicked Choi Han and tried to move away. He then brought out even more of his ancient powers.
However, Choi Han's hand that was covered in black aura had no intentions of letting the ancient power sword go.
The helmeted knight was not worried about the fall. That wasn't the issue.

However, there was something that he was worried about.

Dead mana.
The antithesis of nature was gathering together in order to create a large orb.
There was a small monster skeleton at the center.

The helmeted knight started to frown at the power that was weaker than him but still continuing to gather together.

He felt it behind his back.
He felt a small arrow aiming for his back.

The necromancer was gathering her strength.
The dead mana surrounding the small monster was turning sharp like a sword.

There was also a power that was supporting the dead mana. It was the fake magic that was imitating his hail, storm, and volcano ancient powers.

The young Dragon remained invisible as he sent his powers to support the dead mana. The dead mana that had gathered together like a small sword had turned into an arrowhead, while Raon's powers turned it into a large arrow.

The helmeted knight could see the veins on Choi Han's hands that were holding onto him. He saw the will to never let go in Choi Han's eyes.

'I'll really get hurt like this.'

"What hurt?! Hahahahaha you are only breathing right now bastard! Hahahahahaha!!" tcf White star said while letting his frustration out by laughing.

The knight started to shout as he frowned.

"Are you crazy? I will not die if I get hit by that. Only you will die!"

The arrow was accurately aiming for the helmeted knight's back. It was slowly forming into a full arrow. That arrow looked as if it could easily pierce both the helmeted knight and Choi Han.
Choi Han, who was looking at the arrow, looked back toward the helmeted knight.

"I've been crazy for a long time."

He had already been crazy.
It happened a long long time ago.
He had gone crazy inside the Forest of Darkness. How could you not go crazy after living for tens of years on your own?

"Hyung..." tboah Lock looked at tboah Choi Han and hugged him and tboah Rosalyn immediately joined them.

"Don't worry Choi Han, I and Human will be by your side," Raon said.

"Us too! Right noona?" Hong said.

"My dongsaengs are right Choi han nya~" On said.

"Thank you," tcf Choi Han said to the children.

Choi Han did not like how relaxed this knight was. He needed to see this knight getting hurt in order to suppress some of his anger.

A smile slowly formed on his emotionless face.
It was because he was thankful that Mary had understood his intentions.
People definitely were stronger together.
Raon started to speak in Choi Han's mind at that moment.

– You will definitely not die. Stupid Choi Han.

The arrow then flew forward.

"...Son of a...!"

Another loud noise could be heard outside the Henituse territory along with the helmeted knight's shout.

Baaaaaang!

Cale snorted once more after seeing a blinding explosion occur once more.

"You unbelievable fools."

The Vitality of the Heart.
The ancient power was working to get rid of all the blood on his body.

Cale slowly started to stand up. He had not fallen just yet.

"Haa.... I can't understand you anymore Cale." Tcf Alberu said with a sigh of disappointment.

"What a cliffhanger." Tboah Bud said.

<" What? Do you want to continue?"> Reid asks.

"No, I think we need some break to process things and relax our mind a bit." Tboah Alberu said while his parallel self agreed to his statement.

<" Okay if you say so, Anyway, enjoy your break"> Reid said as he continue to leave to the pantry to get some new kinds of foods that he will eat later with his nephews.

CHAPTER 13: HENITUSE TERRITORY WAR 5

<" Let's immediately proceed to the last chapter of this battle and after that, we will react some light chapters for you to relax your mind. It can be also a chance to prepare yourself for the upcoming chapters. So, enjoy!"> Reid said. All of the people just nodded as if they can do anything about it, at least they can relax for a while after watching those battles back to back.

'It seems that they forget that I will return the part of the Fire of destruction. Oh, well it is not my fault if they did not remember anything.' Reid thought while staring at them.

Meanwhile, tcf Alberu sense something will definitely happen after this.

"I have a bad feeling about the next chapters that we will watch," tcf Alberu said to tboah Alberu that is now seating beside him as they talk about the plans for the future.

"Seems like your body automatically builds some danger sensor or something." Tboah Alberu jokingly said.

"Ha... I don't it is just I really had a bad feeling and I think tcf Cale is involved." Tcf Alberu while brushing the goosebumps that he has.

"Ha... I hope that you will survive handling him." Tboah Alberu said as he pats the shoulder of tcf Alberu.

"I also hope so," tcf Alberu said with a wary on his tone.

CHAPTER 13: HENITUSE TERRITORY WAR 5 (CHAPTER 200 THERE'S A DRAGON? 5)

"Grab onto the castle wall!"

The soldiers immediately grabbed onto the wall or flattened themselves against the floor after hearing the Count's shout.

The explosion shook the entire territory. Although the explosion took place in the sky, the aftershock was directly felt by the castle wall. Count Henituse subconsciously made a comment.

"...This is not a battle for humans."

"That was really not a battle for humans" tcf Bud while drinking his seventh bottle.

This war was not just for humans.
It had already gone beyond that level.

He then turned his head toward his son and his wife. He couldn't help but let out a gasp.

"...Ha-"

This gasp almost sounded like a laugh.
His son, who had gotten back up at some point, had created a small shield in order to protect the Countess, the doctor, and the priest. Count Henituse realized something at this moment.

'This is a war that is beyond the level of humans, and my son is at the center of this battle.'

Most of them did not know what they would feel hearing this. If they need to be happy, sad, grateful, fearful, and relieved at the scene that they seeing right now. Many emotions filled the theater as they don't know what would be the right expression or reaction at that time.

Seeing his son standing up and looking better made the Count's mind become complicated. He pushed off the wall in order to slowly get back up.

On the other hand, Cale had no idea what Count Henituse was thinking as he looked toward the burning darkness that flashed for a moment within the explosion.

"...What the hell is that?"

Cale, like most people with no martial arts training, did not have enhanced vision so he could not see anything properly.

What he saw was Choi Han's power.

It was his extremely slightly imperfect darkness.
It was absorbing the dead mana in order to explode.

Light and darkness had combined in order to cause that explosion. And then, remaining at the sight of that explosion...
Drip, drip.
Rain continued to fall.
The rain fell, not on the ground, but onto the bodies of the dead wyverns and Bears as it mixed with the blood.

Some of the people barf and some of them fainted already after seeing the current situation in the territory. Meanwhile, tcf White Star clicked his tongue as he remembered the idiotic actions of his subordinates.

Drip.

The dust that was in the air after the explosion was erased by the wind and the rain. Things finally became visible.

Crack, crack.
The helmeted knight's armor started to crack as pieces started to fall to the ground.
This was a set of armor made by a Dwarf that was trying to catch a Dragon.

That armor cracked before falling into the mud below.

"... You bastards......!"

The helmeted knight clenched his teeth and started to swear.

"...Ugh!"

He coughed up some blood as he stood back up. His red bloodshot eyes looked forward.

The White Tiger.
The White Tiger Gashan had used his incantations in order to protect someone.
He had protected Choi Han.

Choi Han was looking at the Dragon Slayer while holding on to the shoulder that was pierced by the ancient power sword. However, the Dragon Slayer was not looking back at him.

"Ha, haha-"

Choi Han could see that the helmeted knight was not injured even though he was coughing up blood.
That knight's armor was amazing.

However, Raon had destroyed that armor.

The knight's gaze turned extremely chilling. There were all sorts of natural disasters roaring inside of his body. They were starting to surround him, as if he had turned into the Dragon Slayer sword.

The knight started to laugh as he started to speak.

"...There is a Dragon here. There was a Dragon here."

"You only realize now? Do you use your brain or what? Oh! I forgot do you have any brain to use at all?!" tcf White star ranted.

Only a Dragon could destroy a Flame Dwarf tribe's item.
He had thought that it was just a talented mage who was imitating him.
