*This is an au*

-------

[Okay everyone. Break is over. Let continue.] Cain suddenly appear and said.

Those who were scattering around return to their seat while some bring food and drinks to their seat too.

While Choi Han sigh, he was going to apologize to Cale Henituse but that guy suddenly went somewhere before Choi Han could talk to him. Choi Han decided to wait for him to return, but now the break is already over and he still hasn't returned.

Someone suddenly raised their hand.

[What's the matter, miss Tasha?] Cain asked.

"What about young master Cale and Mary? They're still haven't returned yet." Tasha respond. She was a bit stunt at the way Cain call her but she didn't really mind.

Many people were also curious.

Aiden's group also want to follow Cale too, but Cale didn't allow them to. He said Mary might feel uncomfortable which Tasha was really grateful for that.

Cain was about to answer when the door burst open. Cale, Mary, Azad and the kids all walk out

They could see the kids talking happily with Mary while Mary just nods or give a small response. While Cale and Azad walking behind them.

[You guys are here. Hurry up and sit down. We're about to start.] Cain said.

They nods and start to walk toward their seat, but when Mary start to walk toward her seat, Raon flew toward her and ask.

"Good girl Mary, why don't you sit with us?" Raon ask while hovering around Mary.

"That's right nya." Hong who was being carried by Basen added. On nods in agreement with her siblings. She was being carried by Lily.

"Thank you, Raon-nim. But I would like to sit with grandfather, aunt Tasha and the other dark elves." Mary bow a little as she said that. Her voice sound monotone as usual.

"Okay then let's play more later, good girl Mary." Raon cheerfully said as he wave his small paws, not minding that he was rejected. He flew toward the other then return to their seat.

The other nods at her then also return to their seat. Cale was the last to follow. He pat Mary head, "You don't have to push yourself too hard. Take it easy."

Mary nods in understanding then return to her seat. Cale also return to his seat.

-

"Why wasn't boss that nice to me?" Liam question with a small pout on his face.

"Because you are annoying." Aiden calmly reply.

"Hey!" Liam yell out.

[Alright. Let's start.]

Liam reluctantly quiet down after hearing that.

The screen then turn on.

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.

•••

"Oh. So I'm the one who in charge of the information? But... Can I really do it?" Basen mutter softly as he look at his hand and clenched.

"You'll be fine. Don't worry." Cale said as he pat his head.

"That's right!" The children and Lily said at the same time. Azad also nods his head. Basen look a bit surprised, he started to smile.

•••

Although this should be the busiest room in the Henituse estate right now, everybody was just standing there with blank expressions.

•••

"I guess even young master Basen was shocked." Eric laugh softly as he said that.

•••

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.

•••

"It seems like crown prince Alberu also surprise." John comments.

Well a lot of people also surprised at his action.

•••

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 was thinking that Cale was a crazy bastard.

•••

"Hah- Of course, he is a crazy bastard. Only crazy bastard like him dare to show the world that has a necromancer as an ally." Alberu let out a gasp like laugh as he said that.

Of course, no one could disagree.

"Although, I'm curious about how did he find that dragon skeleton." Eruhaben comments as he frown a little when he finish his sentence.

The other dragons also frowning. After the dragons finish their lifespan, they'd shine brightly and turn to dust as they become part of the earth. They concluded that this dragon must have been murder as it left behind its skeletons.

Dragons may be selfish, arrogant and mostly care about themselves, but seeing another dragon got murder without being able to die a natural and beautiful death really enraged them.

Cale contemplate a little then decide to answer. "From the black swamp, inside the Forest Of Darkness."

Many turned to look at him hearing that.

"How did I know? Because I also found one there." He added.

[Alright. Back to the screen.]

•••

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.'

•••

"Wow. He's not joking." Bud blurt out.

"Well of course, only those who contribute in the war will be call heroes. While those who only sit back and watch don't deserve it." Cale calmly said with a smile.

But that smile look really scary to many people.

•••

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.

•••

"It seems like I really trust him." Alberu mumbled.

•••

"Your highness, the Henituse territory will ignore all communication from the temples starting this moment."

•••

"He really doesn't care that he might become an enemy to the Sun God followers." Zed said with a sigh.

"Like why would he care?" Edric laugh, "You know he got it from his mother right?" He added.

"... What do you mean?" Zed eyeing Edric suspiciously.

Edric smile. "Jour was the one who destroy their Church before."

"... What?" Zed couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, the Church of the Sun God. Of course, she only managed to destroy one, even though she wanted to destroy more, however, since I pity you so I stop her." Edric added as he pat Zed shoulder.

Zed mouth agape. If you pity me, you'd have stop her from the beginning not after!! Zed turn to Deruth, "... Do you know anything about this?"

Hearing that, Deruth just look away, feeling a bit guilty.

Zed sigh deeply. He remember that incident had cause him a lot of headache. Even Fidel is shock at this revelation.

Many sweat dropped. Like she destroy a church? Wow.

"Those bastards are corrupted anyway," Hannah said in disdain. "They acting all nice and kind just to hide all their disgusting crime," she added.

"Although, I really pity the innocent believer, who don't know the truth," Jack frown. He really hate those from the church, after all, it was them who use both him and his sister ever since they were young. Even so he can't hate them all because he knows some of them are not bad.

Many of the Sun God follower are quite angry at them, but couldn't say anything. As for the believer, they don't know who to believe. They can only hope that Cain can show them what really true.

"I know. You've change your judgement. It was your teaching from before, you've already told them to try and change their judgement too. But not only did they not listen, they even use your name to do evil deeds. No, even before this too." Cale said out of nowhere to everyone confusion. He didn't bother to explain.

Even Cale was quite shock, to know that his mom have actually destroy a church before. Now he understand why they told him not to do what his mom had done before.

•••

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.

•••

"Of course. Since you decide to show the world that you have a necromancer as an ally. However, I think it's definitely worth it," Zed smile.

Alberu is a bit shock at that. At first he was worried about his father reaction. He thought his father would do everything in his power in order to drag him down from the crown prince position, since he's working with someone who use dead mana. However, since he was looking down no one could see his expression.

Upon seeing this, Edric and Fidel sigh. Even Lady Violan do so.

•••

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.

•••

"Hahaha- you deserve it! Bastard!" Cage laugh loudly.

•••

'...Skeletons?'

He had never seen such a sight in his life.

•••

"What a stupid thing to say. The necromancer before miss Mary disappeared long time ago, so how the hell are you suppose to see it?" Luka sarcastically said.

"Yeah, stupid." Raon follow.

"That's right, he's stupid nya~" Hong also agree.

•••

"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.

•••

"A Dragon is still a Dragon even if it just bones now." Shickler comments.

Many agree. Although they're just bones, they're still exude an aura of a ruler, the strongest race in the world.

•••

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.

"Grrrrrr."

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.

•••

"A mere mutant dare to look at a dragon as its prey? You really overestimated yourself!" Rasheel snarled.

•••

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......!"

•••

"At least the person that you call as a curse existence didn't abuse their power and start a war just for their own greed," Amiru said while looking at Clopeh in anger.

However, Clopeh was feeling excited instead. He thought that if he could defeat the necromancer then he'll be known as a legendary hero who defeat a curse existence that everyone hate. And just thinking about it made him really excited.

•••

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.'

•••

"You just realized that?" Cale raised his eyebrow in a carefree manner as he laugh.

•••

A hero would never draw in a necromancer that uses dead mana.

•••

"They are better than you at the very least." Cale scoffed.

•••

Clang.

Clopeh took his sword out of the scabbard. Aura began to flow out of his sword.

Sword master Clopeh.

•••

"Oh? He is a swordmaster?" Hannah lick her lip with interest. Jack sigh when he see his sister become interested.

"I'm also interested. I wonder how strong he is." Luka chime in.

•••

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."

•••

"Does he think I'm as stupid as him?" Cale mutter.

While Clopeh is feeling confident that he'd win the war easily.

•••

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.'

•••

"I thought he is an atheist, who did not believe in anything?" A noble question out loud.

No one could say anything about that as that's also what they heard.

•••

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!"

"Gasp."

•••

"You're the one that dirty! How dare you call good girl Mary evil?!" Raon fumed in anger.

Cale just rub Raon's head to calm him down.

•••

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!"

•••

"That's right! Our guardian knight will show you the true justice!" The knight from Paerun Kingdom shouted.

"The Henituse territory is the evil! How dare they work with the curse existence?!" Another knight follow.

Many people expression turn colder and colder the more they said. Then.

"Shut up you bastard!" One of the citizen yell out.

Some people were a bit surprised to see a citizen retaliate against the knight.

"If you bastard truly care about justice then you bastard would have never started the war!"

Upon hearing that, the other started to agree.

"At least miss necromancer use her power to protect us and not starting war like you bastard!" They added.

Tasha and the other dark elves have a surprise look on their face. They're a bit surprise to hear a human said that.

The knights can't really deny what the citizens had say, so they didn't say anything.

(A/N: I only show what's the Paerun's knight say now, because before they only talk about their greatness and that they would win the war, blah blah blah, so I was too lazy to add their speech. Just in case you wonder)

•••

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.

•••

'That's right. It's futile. I'm the one who going to win,' Clopeh smirk.

'What about us? Where are we?' Rosalyn expression turn grim while holding Lock hand.

'Why aren't we helping them?' Choi Han thought as he hold his scabbard tightly. The same goes to the Molan duo.

'Was I being useless again?' Lock bite his lip while clenching his other hand tightly.

•••

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.

•••

"He's still calm even in that situation." Valentino couldn't help but admired Cale for being able to stay calm in that situation.

"He must have something up his sleeves." John nods as he calmly said.

Adin eyes turn cold at that.

•••

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!"

•••

"Those bears bastard," Tasha said through her gritted teeth. Mary hold her hand tightly to calm her down.

•••

Boom! Boom!

The large Bear stomped and started to laugh.

"The other half will destroy the castle walls!"

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.

•••

Many started to frown even some of the villain too.

'Is it another enemy?' Alberu frown.

Cale smirk, 'And here I thought we weren't working together.'

•••

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.

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?'

•••

Those who were watching have the same question.

Then does that mean they're allies and not enemies? Just how many allies does he have? They have a lot of questions but can't voice it out because they know neither of them will answer.

•••

The soldier tried to look toward young master Cale before he stopped moving. Large animals were headed toward them.

•••

"Animal?"

"Could they be beast people?"

•••

No, they were people, but also animals at the same time.

The Tiger tribe.

•••

"The Tiger Tribe?!"

"Young master Cale also work with the Tiger tribe too? That's really amazing," Litana face is fill with awe.

•••

The Tigers were all coming down from their mountains and preventing the Bears from approaching.

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!"

•••

Choi Han froze at the mention of Harris village, his first home since he came to this world. He smile a little, feeling really glad that the village didn't get abandoned and instead became a new home for others.

"Oh. They're the Tiger tribe?" Deruth let out in surprise.

"I know they're beast people but I didn't think they'd the Tiger tribe. In any case, it's make sense." Lady Violan said.

"Cale didn't tell you?" Edric ask.

"Hm? Cale did tell us that they're beast people to confirm our suspicion, but we didn't pry any further, since he already told us that much." Lady Violan respond. Edric nods in understanding at her respond.

•••

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.

•••

"Hm?" Harol let out.

•••

"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.

•••

"Huh?! That's bastard?!" Toonka yell out.

"Toonka, calm down!" Harol hold Toonka. "You remember our promise, right?"

Toonka froze as he reluctantly sit back down upon hearing that.

(I don't know why but that sound misleading.)

While many people couldn't help but become surprise again. He also has a dwarf work for him? Not only that, the dwarf is also a successor of the household that develop the magic tower too.

'Just what- no, Is Cale Henituse even human?'

"That Mueller guy also work for you here?" Zed ask. Lady Violan nods with a smile.

•••

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.

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.

•••

"What the hell?!"

"Just what is with that damn territory?! They bring out a necromancer that many thought to be gone, Tiger tribe that doesn't live in the Western continent, a dwarf and now catapults too?!" Rock Sekka, exclaimed out loud while frowning deeply.

There were many whispering throughout the room, regarding this.

•••

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!"

•••

Some people cheer.

"The atmosphere become a bit better," Litana comments.

"I told you so, that bastard is crazy," Bud whisper to Glenn.

"Tsk!" Adin click his tongue in annoyance, feeling infuriating to see the Roan Kingdom with this much power. No, it's more like these all belong to the Henituse County instead.

•••

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?

•••

"What? Can't you see? Don't tell me you've gone blind in that short period of time?!" Bud exclaimed loudly. Good thing Glenn didn't hit him this time.

And of course, Clopeh got mad hearing that but what can he do.

•••

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.

•••

"Huh? Why?" Amiru mutter in confusion.

•••

'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?!'

•••

Deruth frown while lady Violan face was blank except her eyes were cold.

"Cale is right. Those bastards are really overestimated themselves, for them to become surprised at this," Lady Violan coldly said with a smile.

Deruth look away upon seeing her smile.

Bud was just about to say something, but he decided it's best to shut up after seeing lady Violan cold smile.

'Women are scary!'

•••

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.'

•••

"While that's seem like a good idea, it's also a stupid idea at the same time," Shickler comments.

Some people agree. It's a smart move to aim for the leader but there's no way it's that easy when they couldn't even preach their enemy defense.

•••

It was a matter of momentum.

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.

•••

Syrem gritted his teeth as glare at Cale with a hateful eyes. He thought Cale would fall into despair upon seeing his enemy strength but he was wrong. And seeing him standing there, being so calm while smiling pissed him off even more.

•••

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.

•••

Tasha gasped. She then started to smile. Young master Cale actually let her stay close to him. She was fill with worries regarding Mary's safety before but now she can relax.

Clopeh click his tongue in annoyance. If that damn necromancer really stay invisible behind Cale Henituse, then there's no way those bears could find her.

•••

Her face was pale as she controlled the Bone Dragon. However, there wasn't even an ounce of hesitation in her movements.

•••

Tasha expression morph into a frown. She started to worry when she heard about Mary condition but she heard Mary mumbled at that moment.

"Can I really do the same as my other self? Can I really do it?"

"Of course, I'm sure that you can, as long as you don't give up halfway. After all, you will only get the results after you try it." Obante smile at her. The other dark elves nods.

Mary look at her hand then nods in understanding. Tasha smile.

•••

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.

•••

Rasheel scoffed.

The elves sarcastically comment on this about how stupid they are to try to fight against the great and mighty Dragon.

•••

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.

•••

"Wow-!"

"Amazing-!"

Mary clenched her hand. After seeing that, she determine that she'll become as strong as her other self-no, even stronger.

•••

Kiiiiiiiii-

The shield began to shake once more as the wyverns started to ram into it again. They seemed focused on destroying the shield.

•••

"Of course, they won't be able to win if they couldn't get through the shield, right?" Harol shrug.

"Right. If they couldn't get through their enemies defense then how will they win? There's no way the enemies would suddenly drop down and surrender, right?" John nods as he added.

•••

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."

•••

Choi Han perk up at the mention of his name.

Cale who was talking with On also looks up for a bit then he turn away when he make eye contact with Choi Han.

Choi Han sulk a little. He didn't know why but he's a little sad when he see Cale Henituse avoiding him like that.

•••

Cale started the last step of his plan.

•••

"Oh?" Alberu raise his eyebrow in interest

They didn't think that he'd still have something up his sleeves.

•••

"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?"

•••

Choi Han become confused and couldn't help but ask, "What? Was my other self thinking of not helping?" He frown.

•••

Cale had not told Choi Han what he needed to do.

•••

"Oh," Choi Han finally understand as he stop frowning.

•••

That was why Choi Han had been standing by Cale's side like a shadow in order to protect him.

•••

"Hah! As if boss would need that bastard protection! That bastard just use that as an excuse to stay with boss!" Liam shout. He still remember that after his boss help that Choi Han party's, that guy would always request to meet his boss, but his boss always refuse and tell him to talk with his people instead.

Lena sigh. She understands that Liam doesn't like the hero but she really wants him to at least control himself.

"Shut up," Aiden said as he smack Liam.

"OW-!" Liam rub his head in pain as he glare at Aiden.

-

Bud give Liam a sympathetic look as he can relate.

-

Aiden ignore the look that Liam gave him and said, "That is a different world so stop shouting, my ears hurts." He frown.

Liam about to refute then.

"Liam."
It was Cale. He glare at Liam coldly as if to tell him not to utter another word.

Liam flinch as he hug Aiden's arm, in surprised, tightly. Aiden try to push him away but couldn't so he just give up. The other started to laugh when they see this.

While many people trying to process what just happen and Cale look scary just now.

•••

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?"

Choi Han could see Cale smiling with a pale expression at his question.

•••

Some people blush as he look really beautiful.

Choi Han bury his face in his hand with a slightly red face.

-

"What's with these people? Why does they keep talking about my complexion? Like is that really important right now?" Cale grumble.

"Of course, Human! Your health is important!" Raon exclaim cutely as his face was cover in whip cream. The other nods in agreement.

Many smile this while some couldn't help but laugh because of his messy face.

Cale sigh as he pick up a napkin and wipe face.

•••

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.'

•••

Choi Han flinch. His second hometown? Choi Han look down at his hand and wonder, 'Then what about me?'

Rosalyn tap his shoulder, "Are you okay?" Her face was filled with concern. Lock also look at him with worries.

Choi Han smile softly, "I'm okay." He assured them. They hesitate a little then nods and turn back to the screen.

After seeing their worried expression, Choi Han laugh at himself, 'What a useless question I have there. My home is where my new family are, that's why I'm going to become even stronger to protect them.'

•••

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."

•••

Choi sigh. It's nice seeing his other self receiving something, but it's getting annoying for him because that Liam guy keep glaring at him.

Liam grumble in his seat while glaring dagger at Choi Han before getting smack by Aiden again.

"I already told you to shut up or do you want me to hang you upside down?" Aiden smile coldly at him.

Liam reluctantly do so upon hearing that. He was still hugging Aiden's arm to the other surprise.

•••

Cale was planning on giving Choi Han his [...].

•••

"Give him what?" Someone couldn't help but ask in confusion.

•••

This would be when Choi Han becomes a hero.

•••

"But hero-nim is already a hero, right?" One of the Roan Kingdom's citizens blurt out.

"Maybe because it is a different world?" Another respond.

•••

The Birth of a Hero.

•••

This sentence caught many attention. They remember that Cain had call them 'The Birth of a Hero's people', when they've just arrived. So does it have something to do with them?

•••

"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.

•••

"Wow- you've never smile like that toward us. You really hurt our feeling." Rosalyn put her hand above her heart while wiping her imaginary tears.

Lock nods, "I guess hyung don't really like us huh?"

"W-what? Of course not!" Choi Han panick. Rosalyn and Lock start to laugh after seeing his reaction. They just want to tease him because he look so gloomy. Too bad, Alberu and Molan duo didn't join them.

Choi Han become still then he pout a little when he realized they were teasing him. Then Rosalyn suddenly smile brightly that it made Choi Han feel iffy but Rosalyn didn't say anything else about it. So Choi Han decide to forget it as he couldn't really figure it out.

As for the reason that Rosalyn smile so brightly is because she see Cale was staring at Choi Han's pouting face as he mutter the word cute. But he look away with a red face, as if he just got caught doing something bad, when he make eye contact with Rosalyn.

•••

"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.

•••

Seeing that Lily's eyes start to sparkle.

Cale laugh helplessly while shaking his head.

•••

"S, sword master......!"

•••

Many people become confused again at their reaction.

"How can they not know that he is a swordmaster?" Alberu can't help and ask while frowning.

"What about the plaza incident? Many it didn't happen?" Rosalyn concluded.

[No. It did happen but because of someone interference, the results change.]

They finally understand. They have a feeling that they know who it was.

Rosalyn notice something at that moment, "You don't look surprise, Choi Han."

"Mm," Choi Han hum and continue. "I had my suspicion when they said, I forgot his name, was currently the strongest swordman in the Roan Kingdom even though he was just a high grade swordman."

"Oh," Rosalyn nods. "Right. They've also never mention about us, only young master Cale." She added

"Mm. That's really a big difference," Alberu comments. 'The heroes are still working with me, right?' He frown a little.

•••

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.

•••

Cale look at the screen in disbelief. Why the hell did his counterpart make that swordmaster his guard?

Choi Han also has a weird expression on his face. Like- hey, he did thinking of apologizing to Cale Henituse for beating him up, but it's not really entirely his fault. Even if he has to compensate something, he doesn't think it'd get to the point that he has to be his guard, y'know.

Alberu is a bit disappointed as this show that the heroes didn't work for him even though it is a different world.

•••

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 the for those in the room.

While many nobles starting to feel threaten by Cale's power.

'Cale Henituse has too much power.'

'We need to suppress him.'

Many kind of thought fill their mind.

Lady Violan and Deruth demeanor turn cold. They look at the nobles coldly as if they could read their mind. Edric just relax in his seat since he knows that his nephew will handle them just fine.

Zed decide to pretend he didn't know anything without knowing that it'll cause him a lot of headache later.

•••

It was at that moment.

"I will kill him and return."

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.

•••

"Vicious." Cale mumbled as he pick up his sweet tea to drink.

-

"Hah! You're overestimating yourself!" Clopeh tone is fill with mockery.

-

Choi Han didn't care about that, but when he hurt Cale's words, he can't help but pout, feeling offended.

•••

However, Choi Han suddenly saw Cale motioning toward him. Cale was even stuttering a bit.

"L, let's hug before you go fight!"

'Hug? In the middle of a battle?'

•••

"Pfft-cough, cough-!" Cale choke on his tea when he heard his counterpart words. Like why?! And why are they looking at him like that?!

Choi Han cover his face feeling a little embarrassed even though that's not really him. Rosalyn tease him instead of help him.

Some people who thought they were dating start to discuss among themselves.

"Hey could it be that they are dating each other in secret?"

"What? There's no way. You all heard that they don't get along right?"

"But we don't know for sure, right? Remember young master-nim was acting as trash before, so they're probably just acting like they don't get along, y'know!"

"Mm! That's true!"

"Right, right. They must be dating in secret!"

Choi Han become even more embarrassed at their discussion. Alberu face darken. He didn't know why hearing that somehow make him... upset? He shake his head.

Tasha and Rosalyn laugh at them.
The Molan duo gave Choi Han a death glare.

"No! We're not dating!" Cale refute their words after he calm down from his coughing. His face was red. He ignored the look that everyone gave him.

When those people who were discussing with each other heard him denying it with a red face like that, they start to discuss with each other again.

"He must be lying!"

"Yeah, he must be embarrassed that's why he try to deny it."

"Right!"

"But it's the truth!" Cale deny. Why didn't they believe him?! He really wanted to cry.

Too bad those people didn't listen to him.

Lady Violan and Deruth expression were dark but they didn't say anything. Although they don't have a good impression of him, they'll respect Cale's choice.

As for Zed, he didn't really have anything to say, after all, it's his son business not his so he just stay quiet.

-

"Hey! I refuse to accept this!" Liam stood up and shout. He go on rambling more and more until Aiden can't take it anymore.

Aiden had enough of his rambling.
"I remember telling you not to shout." Aiden snap his finger then Liam find himself unable to move. He wants to say something but when he look up he see Aiden smile at him with a cold eyes.

"This might help you shut up." After finished saying that, he put a tape(?) over Liam mouth.

"You should be glad that it's not young master-nim that shut you up." Aiden coldly said as sit back down. Liam eyes were shaking. It's seem that he has realized his situation since he didn't try to break free.

Everyone at their table turn silence.

"Aiden-nim is scary." Taylor finally said after sometime. The other nods in agreement. Aiden is really scary when he's mad.

There were many more discussion but Cain finally cut in.

[Alright. Let's continue first, you can discuss this later.]

They comply after hearing that.

•••

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."

•••

"Vicious."

"Okay that's vicious, but don't they look like husband and wife. Cale being a wife sending his husband off to work." Cage laugh as she tell Taylor.

Taylor look back and forth between them before nodded. Cage laugh even more when she see Cale look at her fill with disbelief.

Choi Han being tease by Rosalyn while Alberu being tease by Tasha.

•••

'Why is this punk saying such a thing?!'

Cale whispered in a quiet voice so that others could not hear.

"Don't kill him."

•••

"What? Why?"

•••

Why waste such a useful pawn and kill him right away?

•••

"Pawn?" Clopeh mutter with a frown.

"Oh? He must be thinking of making, the Guardian Knight Clopeh, a prisoner of war," Alberu smirk. Choi Han who was confused at first finally understand.

•••

Cale looked toward Choi Han, who was still so innocent albeit hanging out with him for so long,

•••

"Pfft- innocent?" Rosalyn laugh.

•••

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?

•••

"Heh," Ron let out a laugh like gasp as he start to smile. The young master is really sly.

"He's really cunning." Alberu laugh as he comments.

As for Cale, he just stare at the them blankly. His expression also seems to say that it's obvious.

-

"Interesting. He even went after that power," White star smirk. He somehow wants to make Cale Henituse his successor now because of his clever mind. However, he'll wait and see, just what more he can do.

Upon hearing White star words, Syrem gritted his teeth and glare at Cale even more. He determine to kill Cale Henituse after they leave here.

•••

Furthermore, there was so much money to be made if he caught that bastard.

"I will successfully complete this mission."

•••

"Although, this is nice to see, it's really weird seeing you acting so ta- I mean like that," Rosalyn cough as she correct her words. Lock nods in agreement. Even the Molan duo agree as he look like a tame beast.

Choi Han decide to just ignored them.

•••

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.

•••

The screen then turn black.

[Okay. You can rest about 3 hours this time then we'll continue.]

They start to get up and do their own things when they hear that.

[We're supposed to continue right away, but you guys seem to have something to discuss so do so. We're going to watch 2-3 chapters straight later.]

"Okay. Let me sleep till then." Cale then close his eye, trying to sleep.

[No, no. It seems little Choi Han have something to tell you, so why don't you have a talk with him first?] Cain urgently said.

'Little Choi Han?' Choi Han tilt his head at that but didn't question him.

Cale sleepiness went away instantly as he quickly sit up straight and turned to look at Choi Han who was currently walking toward them.

When he arrives, he fidgeting around a little as he didn't know where to start.
Cale sigh, "Have a seat." He pointed toward the empty seat.

"Oh thanks..." Choi Han sit down then he turn quiet. After a moment of silence, he finally open his mouth to say something but Cain interrupt him.

[It seems like we are bothering you. Kids, how about we go play with Aiden and the other?] Cain turn to ask the kids. Yes, Azad is also a kid to him. They hesitated but after Cain told them something through telepathy, they finally agree. And they know that Choi Han won't be able to hurt their human/brother.

After the kids all left and Cain was the only one there, Cain put a barrier around them.

[I put a barrier around you two, just in case other people bother you during your conversation.] Cain let them know.

Cale nods as he turn back to face Choi Han, that's why he didn't see the way Cain smile that looks quite evil.
