*This is an au*

-------

Many people are currently discussing about the fight and the reveal of the Dragon Slayer's Household.

The vassals of the second and third prince are discussing something with the princes. About how to use the information to their advantage.

While some of the few low ranking nobles already contemplate whether they should supporting the Crown Prince instead. Of course, only a small amount of nobles thought that.

The second prince, Robbit Crossman, seem to be in deep thoughts, even though his vassals are trying to talk to him. He remembers the conversation he had with that person, the one who save his wife.

"I hope this will help wake you up. You are just a pawn to those bastard, as your only worth is that you're a royalty." The black hair man stare at him. Robbit hug his unconscious wife. He looked up, but he couldn't see the man face because of the hood.

Robbit gritted his teeth, he cradle his unconscious wife gently. Looking up, he asked, "Who are you? Why did you help me?"

The man stay silent. Just as Robbit thought he wasn't going to answer, the man finally speak.

"You don't need to know who I am. I help you, because of your brother request. Also... your wife is a great person, so you should protect her better." The man disappear right after he said that.

Robbit look down at his wife, then kiss her forehead softly. He ridiculed himself. How could he fail to even protect the most precious person to him. "I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you. I promise I'll never allow anyone to hurt you ever again."

"... ghness.... Your highness!" Robbit snap out of his thoughts, as he turned to look at his vassals. He frown and wave his hand to dismissed them.

The vassals want to say something at that, but he looks at them coldly. As if telling them, 'Another word and you're dead.'

Seeing that, the vassal bit his lip and finally left. It's becoming more and more hard to control the prince after that. They bow and left.

'Finally!'

Robbit sigh. He turned to look at his wife and smile. He'll need to wait a bit longer.

-

Alberu and Choi Han's party are discussing with each other regarding the last chapter. And also whether Cale Henituse is a dragon slayer or not.

While Ron and Beacrox listen to the other discussion, feeling impatient. They really want to have a talk with their young master or maybe Hans is also fine. They've been pushing it, thinking that they should at least finished watching this battle first.

Cain had assured them that this is the last chapter of the Henituse's battle. Cain pity Cale cause he knows how much Cale afraid of facing the Molan duo. Well he should talk it out with them, instead of ignoring it anymore since the Molan duo already find out many things anyway.

Cale who was discussing things with Simon and Lena, felt a sudden chill down his spine. He has been noticing the Molan duo's gaze on him for quite sometimes now.

Are they mad at me? Will they kill me for hiding everything from them? Nevertheless they left me, so it's okay right? He has so many questions, but couldn't voice it out.

Cain can only shake his head at his thoughts process. He wonder just, how can this guy be so smart, but also so stupidly dense at the same time?

-

[Alright! Everyone, let's continue! This is the last part of the Henituse's battle! We'll watch something else later!]

After hearing that, everyone started to return to their seat.

***

Chapter 200 : There's a Dragon?

***

"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."

This war was not just for humans.

•••

"That's fucking obvious!! There are literally a dragon, dragon's slayer, swordmaster, necromancer, and beast people involved! Does it look like a normal battle for human?!" Someone shouted in frustration.

Many groans at the reminder.

"Hey Harold, I want to fight them!" Toonka crack his knuckles in excitement.

"Please... Just no." Harold sigh as he rub the bridge of his nose. Feeling tired.

-

"I really want to beat that dragon slayer bastard!" Liam's hand shaking in anger.

"No. Just... no." Aiden sternly replied, hand holding Liam's shoulder. He rub is forehead.

"I'm sure boss will call you a moronic idiot if he heard what you said." Luka shake his head. Liam pout, but he knows that it's possible.

•••

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.

•••

"He even laugh in that situation?"

"Crazy."

•••

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.'

•••

Many people did not know how to feel about this. Happy, Awe, Fear, Grateful, Sad, Relieve, were the emotion that they currently feel. They don't know which one they should be feeling right now.

-

Cale grimace, frowning. 'I don't like this. There are too much attention on me. Good thing, that is another world.'

•••

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.

•••

"Weak human! You should train more, you're too weak!" Raon exclaimed.

"That's right, nya!" Hong agree.

Cale nods, patting their head lightly.

Some couldn't believe their ear. Since according to the human standard, Cale is already strong, but to a dragon like Raon, Cale is still weak.

Liam face drain of any colour upon hearing Raon statement.

Taylor saw this, ask him in concern. "Are you okay, Liam? You look pale?"

"Ah yes... It's just the thought of boss training, bring back... some memories." Liam hug himself, shiver in his seat.

Simon, Luka, and Lena nods.

Hannah scoffed, "You always bother him to spar with you anyway."

"That different because I only ask him once in awhile!" Liam retort. Hannah roll her eyes and return to focus on the screen instead. She ignored Liam's grumble.

Those who heard this was curious, but didn't have the courage to ask.

•••

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 close their eyes at the sight, while some even faint. They couldn't handle the sight.

•••

Drip.

The dust that was in the air after the explosion was erased by the wind and the rain. Things finally became visible.

•••

They subconsciously held their breath.

It was a really big explosion. Will they be able to defend against that?

•••

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.

•••

The dragons laugh coldly at that as if to mock Syrem.

"Damn it- Damn those dragons bastard-!" Syrem gritted his teeth in anger as he curse at them.

•••

"... 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.

•••

"Those damn bastard-!" Syrem curse. He doesn't like seeing himself looking like that.

While Rosalyn and Lock let out a breath of relief, after seeing Choi Han is okay. On the hand, they're still wondering where their counterpart were.

Rosalyn sigh and decided to push that question to another time. She gave Choi Han a stern look.

"I hope you won't act reckless like your other self after we're going back."

Choi Han can only avert his eyes, as he can't really promise that.

•••

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-"

•••

"Did he go crazy?"

"Maybe."

•••

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.

•••

"Human, look, look! The other me is great and mighty, right? I'm going to be even more greater and mightier than him!" Raon excitedly exclaimed.

"Yes, yes. He is great and mighty, you are also great and mighty." Cale respond, patting Raon's head.

Raon wing flutter in happiness as he nuzzles into Cale's touch.

Some people couldn't help, but squeals at the wholesome scene.

•••

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."

•••

"Oh you finally realize? Congratulation!" White Star coldly stated as he clap his hand.

"No way~ That's not a dragon, that's just some mage who's strong enough to copy him~" Rosalyn playfully comment. Tasha snicker.

Some people laugh upon hearing her words.

•••

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.

But now, he knew that a Dragon must be raising its arrogant head and looking at him from somewhere. It probably decided to lend its powers once in order to kill him.

The Dwarf had said the following before giving him the armor.

'This cannot defend against a Dragon's Breath, but it should be able to guard against an average adult Dragon's magic.'

•••

"That's quite amazing actually. Too bad, they're on the villain side." Lord Sheritt sigh, shaking her head.

Many people agree.

•••

'Even a Dragon Lord?'

'Why are you talking about something that does not exist? The Dragon Lord is the Emperor of Magic. It cannot defend against it. If there was a, 'real,' Dragon Lord, would we be doing this? This armor should manage to defend against an ancient Dragon's magic at least once as well. That is our limit.'

•••

"Well I'm here, aren't I?" Lord Sheritt shrug.

"I have to say that they're quite arrogant to assume that." Mila laugh coldly.

"Right. They say it can defend against an ancient Dragon's magic at least once, but the baby dragon already destroy it. If that was an actual ancient Dragon he's probably dead right now." Dodori nods.

Dodori didn't like it when that dragon slayer guy curse at them. He is also a dragon after all.

•••

The Dragon Slayer's instincts were telling him something.

An ancient Dragon or one that was beyond that level.

A Dragon with at least that level of magic was here.

•••

"Mom- That baby dragon must be really good, right? For that dragon slayer guy to actually thought he was an ancient dragon." Dodori eyes sparkle, tugging the hem of his mother shirt.

"Mm. He really smart. You too." Mila smile, patting Dodori's head.

Eruhaben agree.

"He's also a really weird dragon, he doesn't act like dragon at all. Especially after seeing him care that much for a human." Rasheel snorted. He yawn. He really wants to sleep, but he's sure that, that cat will try to wake him up again if he do so.

While Lord Sheritt smile brightly in satisfaction. Completely ignoring Rasheel. Her son is just unique, okay!

•••

'But isn't there only one ancient Dragon?'

He only knew about the ancient Dragon that was close to death.

•••

Mila has a look of interest, wondering if it talking about her.

'Ho- Is it talking about me or this Mila dragon? Speaking of which, where is that bastard Olienne? Maybe it's talking about him?' Eruhaben frown, somehow that thought leave a bad taste in his mouth.

[Oh... Eruhaben-nim...] Cain look at Eruhaben sadly. He wonder how would he react when he find out.

•••

'There is another ancient Dragon?'

"He, hehe."

He started to laugh.

'Those trash Dragon bastards.'

•••

"Hah! Foolish bastard! Daring to curse at the great and mighty Dragon!" Rasheel sneer. If not for that cat, he'd have already killed that bastard for cursing him.

The dragons gave Syrem a sneer, looking at him as if he the stupidest thing they've ever seen.

The elves curse at Syrem for daring to call the great and mighty Dragon, that they worship, a bastard.

Syrem, of course, can only grit his teeth in anger. He's not afraid of fighting against a dragon, but with that many at once, he'll not survive.

•••

The ancient Dragon probably watched these existences of nature fighting as it stood there with a haughty expression. Otherwise, there was no reason for it to step in right now.

If it had stepped in from the beginning, it would have used Dragon Fear and Dragon Breath in order to kill him.

It would have been easy since he was not complete yet.

•••

"... Complete?" Alberu and Rosalyn focus on this part.

"Maybe it has something to do with the crown that young master Cale has in his possession." Rosalyn concluded.

"That's plausible. Previously young master Cale also speculate that they are pair too. " Alberu nods.

•••

"...Ugh."

The knight coughed up blood once again.

He had pulled the ancient power sword out of Choi Han in order to guard himself the moment the armor started to break, however, his internal organs were still shocked by Choi Han's aura and the dead mana explosion.

It felt as if all of his organs were twisting inside of his body.

He had not felt this for a long time.

'...Only if I had the crown!
That was the reason I had bowed my head to that crazy bastard in the first place!'

The knight thought about the reason he was not complete yet and started to grind his teeth. He felt a sense of disappointment. He could not be complete because some damn bastards had stolen the crown.

•••

"It really is the crown that he need!" Alberu exclaimed.

"Yes. Also since young master Cale here also has the crown, that Syrem guy strength should be the same as that world!" Rosalyn added. Choi Han clenched his hands.

While Syrem, he become enraged again at the reminder of the bastard that stole his crown. He can only glare at Cale since there's nothing else he can do.

While Cale didn't care about the glare that he received from Syrem at all. Instead he just picked some cookies and give it to the kids, including Azad too.

•••

His body was close to its limit as the Sword of Disasters had been destroyed a couple of times as well. He could only use it once more in this battle.

His body, his plate, would not be able to support anything more.

•••

White Star click his tongue in annoyance.

Syrem flinched. However, there's nothing he can do right now. He just need to make sure that he win when he go back.

Cain sneer at that.

•••

Although he had one more power of the Dragon Catcher, that was a pitiful power that he did not need.

The Dominating Aura.

•••

"Huh?" Aiden, Liam, and Selena let out a confused sounds, with a questioning look.

"What wrong?" Taylor ask, wondering what was wrong.

"Oh- it just... We've seen boss use that power to uhh... overwhelmed the enemies before." Aiden struggling a bit to find the right words to explain.

Although Taylor and Cage have been with them for quite a long time, Cale never take them with him when he went to scam the enemy. So he's just picked another word to explain.

"So?" Taylor urge them to continue.

"So how can that guy have it?" Lena frown. The other started to frown too, after hearing that. Can there be two identical ancient powers?

-

Cale also confused. Nevertheless, he push that question to the back of his mind since he couldn't get any answer.

•••

That laughable power that only a scammer would use did not meet the dignity of a Dragon Slayer.

The aura was an illusion without any real strength.

•••

Cale laugh. Well he DID use that power to scam none other than them. Bluffing is also strength after all.

Even Cale's people snicker. They've seen their boss use that power to scam a LOT of people. Well it's the enemies most of the time.

•••

The helmeted knight made up his mind to definitely capture the bastards who had stolen the crown as he looked around.

"Vicious bastards."

Another arrow that was imitating his power was flying through the air. There was also the black aura.

And finally.

Plop, plop.

There were the dead wyvern and Bear corpses that were standing back up in the mud.

Behind them were the Tiger tribe with the White Tiger at the center, as well as the humans aiming their arrows and catapults at him.

The knight closed his eyes.

"...Looks like we lost."

•••

"Fucking useless bastard." White Star spat out, not sure who he referring to.

While all Syrem can do is gritting his teeth, holding back his anger. He didn't dare to utter anything, afraid that he'll anger his liege more.

•••

Anybody could see that they had lost.

Choi Han clenched his right hand even after seeing the knight smiling in pity. His left shoulder still had the wound from the Sword of Disasters. His left arm would have become useless if the knight had not pulled back the power in order to defend himself.

•••

"I hope this won't happen here." Rosalyn gave, Choi Han, a stern look.

Choi Han shrank back and look away, without answering her.

•••

That was why Choi Han remained alert.

It was at that moment.

Plop.

The final piece of the armor fell to the ground.

•••

Kanelle, the current chief of the Flame Dwarf tribe, bit down on his lips as he looks at the device. He even boast that it could handle an ancient dragon magic yet a baby dragon manage to destroy it.

Even though, their tribe was ridiculed by other dwarf because they can only make mechanical devices. They're still confident in their mechanical devices. They still work hard, because they want the organization to approve of their abilities and give them a territory of their own. No matter how small it is.

However, seeing their device get destroy so easily like this, they're sure that those bears bastard will torment them again.

At the very least, they can escape those bears bastard torment for now. Since the dimension owner separate them from their organization. They were confused at first, but now they feel grateful for it.

•••

The helmet finally fell.

The knight started to move just as his face was revealed to the world.

The powers that had been surrounding his body changed into the shape of a sharp blade. That blade was directed in a single location.

"Block it!"

The Tigers started to rush toward the knight at Gashan's command. Choi Han was already charging forward as well.

Kiiiiiiiii-!

The dead wyverns slowly started to move in order to block the knight's attack and hold him back. Even the dead Bears stepped through the mud as they charged against the knight.

They were chasing after the knight as if they had never been allies.

The dead wyverns and dead Bears frantically chased after the knight.

However, these dead creatures disappeared the moment they touched the ancient power surrounding the helmeted knight.

Nothing could stop the knight.

•••

Many people took in a sharp breath.

•••

He continued to run without stopping.

He was heading for the castle wall.

To be more specific, he was heading toward Cale.

•••

"Is he seriously heading towards the guy that in the center of all those mo- people?" Bud look at the screen in disbelief.

"I guess he wants to, at least, drag the leader down with him if he's going to lose." Glenn nods.

A cold smile appear on Cale's face.

•••

He then started to laugh.

"Pwahahaha, Hahaha! I knew it would be like this!"

The arrow in the air did not move.

The arrow that was imitating his natural disasters did not fly toward the castle wall.

Cale and the helmeted knight made eye contact.

The knight started to shout.

"You seem to be receiving a Dragon's protection!"

•••

"Not only that. The dragon also love that human very much." Mila added.

•••

He already did not like how Cale was using ancient powers, but now, this human was even receiving a Dragon's protection!

He deserved to die.

•••

"You're the one who deserves to die! How dare you try to hurt my human?!" Raon glare at Syrem. The same goes to On and Hong.

•••

A deep hatred filled the helmeted knight's eyes. A power that was stronger than ever before surrounded his body.

"I will destroy you and this castle!"

•••

"Heh. As if he could. " Hans scoff. His young master will probably hunt him till the end of the world.

•••

The arrow that had been shining in the air suddenly disappeared.

Instead, Cale felt a small body grabbing his body.

Grab.

The invisible Raon stuck to Cale as if he was a shield. He opened his wings and hugged Cale, as if he was saying that he would receive the power of the disasters.

- I will not let go.

•••

"I will protect you, human. So don't get hurt." Raon mutter softly.

Cale chuckle softly and pick Raon up. He hug him and pat his scaly back.

"You know, Raon, I'm glad that you're worry about me, but you don't have to throw yourself in front of danger for me. I'm your guardian, I should be protecting you."

"But you are weak!" Raon retort.

"Mm. Yes, I'm weak." Cale easily agree with Raon."But I'm still strong enough to protect myself, so that you won't have to face danger for me."

Raon turn quiet. He snuggle closer to Cale, without saying anything. He can feel his warm on his head.

•••

Cale felt Raon's body heat as he looked around. He then raised his hand to pat Raon's back.

Choi Han, who had been rushing toward them, suddenly flinched.

'Something is weird.
The fact that Cale-nim is this calm should mean that it is not very dangerous.'

•••

"It's still weird seeing my other self calling him with respect like that." Choi Han mumble to himself.

"You did the same though."

Cale roll his eyes. Of course, Cale can't really blame Choi Han because Cale was using a disguise. However, remembering all the trouble he went through just to escape from Choi Han, make him pissed.

-

"Well, being calm like that also help give his people assurance." Litana comment. If the leader lost his cool and panic, it'll make his people become frightened and panic too.

•••

It was at that moment.

It was the moment that the helmeted knight jumped up in the air. It was the moment that the Sword of Disasters looked as if it would pierce through the castle wall.

The helmeted knight, Raon, and everybody else running toward him could hear the laughter.

Cale was laughing.

•••

"Wow. He even laugh in that situation."

"Well, it's not like he can cry, right?"

•••

A calm voice started to come out of his mouth.

"I knew that those damn Bears were shrewd."

The knight's eyes slightly shook.

Cale had heard Mary's voice just a moment ago. Mary, who had been quietly standing there in her invisible state, had urgently spoken for the first time.

"The Bears I am not controlling are moving!"

Cale started to laugh.

He looked at the Bear corpses that were running toward them as if they were trying to stop the knight.

There were some alive Bears in the mix.

'A Bear pretended to be dead?'

•••

Majority of the people finally realize what he's talking about. Yes, they're really shrew. Who would have thought that they'd pretend to be dead in the battle like that.

•••

Cale then moved his gaze toward the knight who was pretending to rush at him.

"That bastard is shrewd too."

•••

"He's really a meticulous bastard." Syrem scoffed.

"His act was really convincing." Rosalyn frown. She actually hasn't thought of that. She really thought he give up and choose death.

•••

He was pretending to charge at Cale as if he had given everything up. Yes, he was just pretending.

•••

Murmurs and whispers echoes around the room. No one had expect that.

Syrem laugh. 'That's right. It doesn't matter, whether I win or lose there, I just need to win the war here.'

•••

"...Oh, you knew about it?"

The knight started to smile.

The hatred disappeared from his eyes as if it had all been an act as he took a magic scroll out of his pocket.

•••

"He really running away..."

"What else? Play hide and seek?!"

"Okay..."

•••

The Bears also jumped up into the air and took out magic scrolls.

These were most likely teleportation scrolls.

The White Tiger Gashan started to shout.

"Catch them!"

Catch the Bears.

The Count shouted as well.

"Fire!"

The catapults and archers started to shoot toward the Bears.

"I may have lost, but I'm not ready to die just yet."

•••

"What are you acting all cool for, coward!" Toonka scoffed, with his arms crossed over his chest.

•••

His snake-like face started to smile.

His face that was revealed after the helmet was destroyed looked like a snake. It looked like an imugi that had yet to become a Dragon.

•••

"He looks ugly, nyaa~" Hong frown, looking up from eating his cake.

Raon nods in agreement as he stuff another piece of meat into his mouth. On also agree. Same goes to Azad, Lily and Basen, who also eating.

Everyone else admire them for being able to eat in this situation. Also they're really lucky being able to order that cat like that. If they want to eat, they just need to tell Cain and he'll bring them everything.

'How unfair!'

(Cain, who is currently resting on a sofa, let out a small sneeze.)

•••

Cale continued to laugh as he looked toward the one person who had understood his actions.

Choi Han.

He was the only one who realized something was weird while everybody else rushed toward Cale.

He was stepping onto the dead wyverns as he was rushing up into the air. It was almost in line with the knight's movements. He would be at the helmeted knight's level if he stepped on just one more dead wyvern.

•••

Choi Han take note of this. He should improve his speed. That way he won't fail to catch the escaping enemy.

•••

Cale could feel Raon moving away from his body.

Raon's front paw started to create magic once again.

Choi Han jumped off the wyvern's head and flew toward the knight. The helmeted knight was still looking at Cale.

He did not waste these few seconds of time.

"You bastard who has received a Dragon's protection."

•••

"Come on. He's still rambling on and on, with that villain's speech of his, even in the moment of escaping!"

"It's not like he'll received a dragon's protection, no matter how many times he say it."

•••

Riiiiiip-

The teleportation scroll was ripped and the knight's body started to disappear.

True anger could be seen through his smile.

A human who had received a Dragon's protection. This was someone who deserved to die.

The knight swung his Sword of Disasters toward Choi Han, who was flying toward him, as he continued to speak to Cale.

His body had almost disappeared.

•••

Choi Han bit his lip, while frowning. He didn't manage to catch the enemy on time again. He feel so useless.

•••

"I will soon return to kill you, ugh!"

However, something got him before he could disappear.

The knight let out a moan and slowly lowered his head.

He could see what had hit him.

"...My sword?"

No. It was not his sword.

However, it was something that was similar to the Sword of Disasters.

He could feel storms, hail, and volcanoes in this sword.

It was fake, but it was very similar to his own.

The knight heard a young voice in his ear.

"You will die first."

•••

"Ah. That is Dragon-nim!"

Raon looks up, feeling proud. He didn't care even if that praise is actually for his other self. After all, he'll make sure to kill that bastard, who dare to hurt his human.

•••

He could not see anything.

Suddenly, two eyes appeared from out of nowhere.

They were dark blue eyes.

•••

"Wow- how beautiful."

"Is that really what you should be focusing on right now?"

"Shut up!"

•••

They had the distinct shape of Dragon's eyes and shone brightly.

Only these eyes appeared to greet the knight.

Crackle-

There was a spark and the knight's body started to teleport.

However, the sword that stabbed him was continuing to spin inside of his body.

The dark blue eyes were opened wide and did not let the enemy go.

•••

Many people, especially the elves, cheer for the baby dragon.

•••

"Ugh! Cough!"

The knight coughed up blood once again. Choi Han did not miss that moment. He used the moment that the Sword of Disasters weakened in order to cut the knight's arm off with his black aura.

•••

'Uwah- Does he have an obsession of cutting his enemy arm off when they try to escape?' Cale groan. He remembers Choi Han also cut off that blood-crazy mage bastard too.

While Choi Han mood lighten up a bit that he manage to, at least, cut Syrem's arm off.

•••

Slash!

The removed arm became visible again and moved away from the influence of the magic. However, the knight did not have any time to focus on this.

The Sword of Disasters.

It returned and surrounded the knight's body.

•••

"... Only after his arm got cut off?"

"Shush!"

"What? I'm just confused!"

•••

It was able to destroy the fake sword made from magic.

However, Raon's magic had reached his heart.

•••

"See. Because he was busy saying his villain's speech, he end up losing his arm when he could have protect himself."

"Isn't it great that he's injured? What are you complaining for?"

"I wasn't complaining. I was just saying."

•••

The imitation magic sword turned into the shape of a Dragon's paw and clenched onto his heart.

Crackle.

The knight clenched the top of his heart. However, the power that was most similar to Dragons, the power that could only be handled by a Dragon's Breath or Dragon's body, the ancient power of disasters destroyed Raon's magic sword at that moment.

•••

"Tsk! He should have suffer a bit more." Liam grumble in his seat. He snatch a cookie from Aiden's hand, earnings a glare from him.

•••

Clang-

The magic broke and a snake-like power came from the knight's stomach, around the spot where his dantian would be.

It was his other ancient power.

That finally started to move.

Cale suddenly got the chills.

"Ah?"

He heard Mary's shocked gasp at that moment.

At the same time, Cale could see the helmeted knight silently whistling.

'Perhaps?'

He heard Mary starting to shout.

"I, I can't control them!"

Cale could read the helmeted knight's lips.

'I told you I can't die yet.'

•••

"Well you almost did anyway. All because of your villain's speech."

"Oh my god- shut up!"

•••

Choi Han lowered his head to see what was grabbing onto his ankles.

It was a wyvern corpse.

•••

"Hey Glenn. Isn't it already dead? How the hell can it still grab that hero guy leg?" Bud mumble, as he shiver.

"You're a swordmaster and you're afraid of that?" Glenn stare at him with an unimpressed look.

"C'mon! It's still creepy, y'know."

Glenn decided to just ignored Bud for good. He wonder how did he get a friend like him.

•••

The wyverns were slaves to the Dragon Slayer even after death.

It could not get away at all.

The wyvern corpse started to shake and seemed to resemble boiling water. Cale immediately started to speak.

"Dodge it!"

'It's going to explode.'

•••

"... Fucking bastard!"

"Even during his escape, he still want to hurt other!"

"People like him deserve to die in the most painful ways."

•••

It looked as if it was about to explode. The wyverns had chased the helmeted knight to the castle wall. The castle wall and the Tigers would be in danger if they exploded.

He could not spread his shield all the way to the catapult and the archers. They would be unable to attack the Bears if he did so. There were many soldiers currently standing there on the castle wall as well.

•••

"It's great that he worry about other, but I wish he can priotize his safety first." Edric frown. He wonder how would his sister feel if she see this.

When Cale hear his uncle's word, he tilt his head in confusion. "But I did? And also it's my responsibility to make sure my people survive?"

A collective sigh can be heard from many people around the room.

[Right, right. However, you should rely on your people too. How do you feel when they get hurt for protecting you? Happy?] Cain stare at Cale.

Cale frown. "No."

[Right. Then before you get yourself hurt next time, imagine you are the one watching your people get hurt, how would you feel?]

Cale frown, but he still nods at Cain's words.

Cain just sigh at his reaction and mumble to himself. [She was right. I don't know how much torture he'd put himself through, had he keeps those memories.]

•••

Cale started to frown. This was the reason he hated wars.

•••

"Well, who would?" Bud shake his head.

"Of course, we do know a crazy maniac who love to fight everything that are strong, but we don't think he's crazy enough to start a war."

Lena glance at Toonka who was laughing like a maniac. While Harold just sigh.

•••

"Hahaha!"

The helmeted knight could not hold back his laughter. He found Cale's frown to be entertaining.

Crackle-

His body started to disappear.

He was aiming for this moment when Choi Han was being held back, Mary could not control the wyverns, and Cale had no energy left to use his ancient powers.

•••

"That's -"

"Hah- What now? Can't you just watch quietly?"

"How rude. I was just surprised that he's actually smart enough to plan something like that. Thought he is stupid after that villain's speech of his."

"My head..."

•••

The Dragon also simply continued to use magic.

The helmeted knight was aiming for all of this.

Baaaaang!

One of the wyvern corpses exploded. That was the beginning. The people closest to the helmeted knight who were trying to escape with him were caught up in the explosion.

"Ahhh! Why are you doing this to us?!"

The dead wyvern's explosion did not differentiate between allies and enemies.

The Bears were getting killed by the explosions.

•••

Those who couldn't handle the scene, close their eyes.

Litana frown deeply, looking at this scene.

Choi Han face was extremely dark. To think, these bastard is actually cruel enough to kill his own ally.

•••

"Ahhhhh! Why is this happening?!"

"N, no! Ahhh!"

The Tigers retreated while looking at the Bears in shock.

'He's killing his own allies?'

•••

"Apparently so."

"Apparently, they are unlucky for having that bastard as their ally."

•••

The knight was killing the wyverns and Bears in order to create an opening for him to escape.

Tens of wyverns started to explode at the same time. Cale urgently activated his shield to cover the soldiers.

•••

Everyone at Aiden's table couldn't but sigh. Look like they'll have to follow him to this battle. Their original plan was that Cale will only take 2 people with him, but now it won't do.

Even if he refused, they won't back down. They must make him rely on them more. With that everyone is filled with determination.

•••

The helmeted knight laughed while watching all of this.

•••

Vein pop on their head. They look at Syrem coldly. The more they hear him talk, the more pissed they become.

•••

He didn't know why nature allowed someone with such a weak plate to have ancient powers,

•••

Edric can't help, but scoffed at this. The other look at him in confusion, so he decided to tell them. He already cast a barrier, so that only them can hear.

"I told you before, right?" Edric look at Zed, "Our family is bless by god. If the god take any interest in one of the family member, they'll bless that person."

Lady Violan look at him in surprised. To think the late Countess was from a special family like this.

"However, Cale is even more special. Because he is love by many gods, even nature."

"That's not a good thing, right?" Zed ask. He knows if it's good, Edric will be the most happy.

"Right. My sister was not happy, because she knows Cale will carry many burden in the future. But she just wants him to live as a normal person." Edric sigh. He still remember his sister sad face as she gaze at Cale.

Zed sigh.

•••

-however, ancient powers usually picked people like him as masters. That was why most average humans could only handle one ancient power.

'Weak bastard.'

•••

Aiden and the other snap. They told themselves before to just ignored it, but they had enough of this bastard insulting their boss.

"I'll make sure to torture this bastard to the point he'll wish for dead instead." Aiden chuckle coldly. While Beacrox perk up when he hear this. He'll have to ask them to let him join too.

"May the gods forgive you, but I won't." Jack gracefully said. He also join in.

(Where did the innocent jack go? T^T)

[I don't think so.] Cain sweat drop, when he heard them.

Not many people heard them as they were focusing on the screen.

•••

There had to be a reason a shield ancient power had picked this punk as its master.

Everything in the world had a reason behind it.

•••

[Yes~ There is a reason behind everything, just like how Tcf!Cale can't have his slacker life.] Cain chuckle.

"Hm? What was that?" Cale ask, he couldn't hear him clearly. Only his name.

Cain just shake his head with a smile, in replied.

•••

The knight scoffed at the idiot who was overusing his power in order to save the soldiers rather than to catch him.

He raised his head one last time.

•••

"What's wrong with young master Cale using his power to save people?" Litana glare at Syrem on the screen, also the one in the room, who currently ridiculed Cale.

""That's right."" Many people agree with Litana.

"And what is he a acting all high and mighty for? When he currently running away with tail tucked between his legs like that?"

Syrem stop laughing and glare at them when he heard that.

•••

Screeeech-!

A shadow covered the ground near the castle wall.

Everyone had forgotten about this thing.

The 15 meter long white wyvern.

•••

The common people face turn pale. A wyvern this big, when explode, the aftermath will be devastating.

•••

Even it could not go against it's master's orders as it dragged its injured body all the way to the wall.

The master then gave the order to the wyvern.

"Die."

Screeeech-

The wyvern screeched.

However, the animal that had lost its freedom had no choice but to obey.

•••

"How cruel..."

They know, they know they shouldn't feel pity for those who want to kill them and want to destroy their home.

But...

Did the animals have any choice?

Cale's face is especially dark. A vicious smile appear on his face. They are his enemies, he knows. However he can't forgive that bastard, who throw away other people lives so easily.

Cale is not a good person. Even he also use people for his benefits too. But even if he no longer find any use in them, he won't go as far as to make them sacrifice their live for him.

Many people thought the same.

Even Choi Han, who loathe them, tremble in anger. He can't understand. Isn't it really great throwing other people lives away like this? Even worse, they were allies, not enemies.

•••

The 15 meters long monster rushed toward the wall, to be more specific, toward Choi Han.

Boooooooom!

This wyvern was almost the size of a Dragon.

That large being charged at Choi Han, who had the highest chance of getting in it's master's way.

Cale finally started to speak. Choi Han's shoulder was already injured.

•••

Choi Han grit his teeth. His face darken again. How can he be so useless?

•••

Raon had no more methods to fight against the Dragon Slayer.

•••

Eruhaben frown. Somehow he didn't like it, seeing that little kid being helpless like that.

Raon grip tighten on Cale shirt.

•••

However, if it was against a Dragon Slayer that was trying to run away.

"Raon, help Choi Han."

Cale heard Gashan shouting next to him.

"Duck!"

Cale closed his eyes. A gust of wind brushed past him. It was the aftershock of the explosion.

Cale opened his eyes once the wind died down.

•••

"Why does he look so hot? I wish I can look as hot, even just a little, as young master-nim. "

"Yeah. Keep dreaming."

•••

He could see the mess outside of the castle wall.

The trees, boulders, and everything else were destroyed.

All he could see in the muddy area were the corpses of the dead Bears and dead wyverns.

•••

Many people stare at scene in horror. It's horrible. However, this is war. They can't expect to see a beautiful scenario after the war.

•••

The Dragon Slayer was not there.

The ground started to move and the Tigers started to get back up. A transparent orb surrounding Choi Han slowly approached the castle wall.

Cale lifted his head up.

The clouds had disappeared, leaving behind a clear sky. A ray of light started to shine down on them.

"Cale-nim."

Cale looked toward Choi Han and started to speak.

"Did you leave a mark?"

•••

"Mark?"

Many people are confused.

While Rosalyn smile. She understands what Cale was talking about.

•••

It was the invisible Dragon, and not Choi Han, who responded to him.

- I did.

Cale started to walk. He was staggering after overusing his ancient power.

•••

Many give the redhead a worried look, both on the screen and inside the room.

While Cale's people become even more determine. They'll make sure that their boss won't overworked himself and rely on them more.

•••

However, there was still something he had to do. Cale walked over until he was standing next to Count Deruth Henituse.

"Father."

Cale helped Count Deruth Henituse stand back up.

That action made the soldiers stand up as well. They all looked up at the sky.

The sky was clear without a single cloud.

The silver shield that had been protecting the soldiers was still there.

'I survived.'

•••

Somehow after hearing that, many people feel a bit emotional. Yes, the other world manage to survive. So they'll make sure they survive too.

•••

That was the thought that was going through all of the soldiers' minds.

Click, click.

The citizens started to open their doors. They did not see the enemies anymore.

'They did it.'

The citizens realized that they had won.

•••

The screen then turn black.

[Alright. That's the last part of the Henituse's battle.] Cain said as he jump down from Azad's lap.

Everyone start to get up, to get something to eat, without needing Cain to tell them.

[Also!]

Everyone turn to look at Cain. They didn't think he'd have something to tell them. They thought he'd disappear like usual, but he didn't.

[I won't be joining you for the time being. The screen will automatically turn on when you're done resting.]

"Where are you going, nyaa~?" Hong ask.

Many people also look at him, waiting for an answer. However, Cain just smile.

[You'll be reacting randomly. It could be about your world or the TCF world.]

Everyone nods in understanding. Even if they ask any more questions, Cain won't answer anyway.

Suddenly, a bright light shone and a few people appear. After the light disappear, everyone in the room finally manage to see who they are. At that moment.

"Mae! Everyone!" Lock suddenly exclaimed as he run toward them.

[Right. I forgot to tell him that they are coming.]

===============================================

A/N:

Hey guys. It's been awhile (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

I'm really sorry for not updating. I swear school is going to drive me crazy. I just finished my monthly exam(?). And now my final is in 3 month too.( •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀)

Cale is right. Being a slacker is the best. It just that I can't get it.

Also I cut it a bit at the end because I don't want to destroy the atmosphere. I also choose to remove the villain as I usually forget about them. And it's also hard for me to write their reaction.

I hope the reaction is acceptable. I feel frustrated sometimes because I can't really put the reaction that I imagine into word as my english is limited.

Anyway! I hope you enjoy this chapter (⁠人⁠*⁠'⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+
