[Cale] - Cain

*This is an au*

--------

Everyone was doing their own things as they wait for Cain to return.

Some people actually want to try talking to Cale but Cale had told Raon to set a barrier around them so no one can bother them.

While Alberu was thinking of making a deal with Cale since he couldn't see the other guys at the Aiden's table. Then he decided that he'll talk to Cale after the battle at the Henituse's Territory first.

[I'm back everyone!]

Everyone stop talking or what they were doing and turn to look at him.

[As you know, we'll be reacting to the war now. So if there's something you want to do, you have 15 minutes.] Cain said while walking toward Cale.

Some go to the restroom while some bring foods and drinks to their seat.

"Mister, I want cake nya~" Hong said while looking at Cain.

"Oh! The great and mighty Raon want apple pies!" Raon exclaimed. The other also tell Cain what they want.

Cain sigh as he snap his finger. Then many food, drink and dessert appear on their table and they happily eat it.

Many people sweat dropped. Cale and his people order the dimension owner so easily, but if it was someone else, they're probably on their way to the after life already.

~15 minutes later~

[Alright! Let's start!]

The screen then turn on.

***

Chapter 196 : There's a Dragon?

•••

"Ah. This time, the chapter is right next to each other." Bud blurted out.

'So what if they have a dragon? It is only a baby dragon anyway.' Clopeh thought as he sneer at them.

•••

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 face. Fear, worry, and even some other emotions were all visible on their faces.

•••

"The atmosphere is not really good..." Litana comments with a grim expression.

"That just show how terrible the war is." John said with a stiff expression.

Many nods in agreement.

•••

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."

•••

"I'm sure they are talking about young master Cale." Rosalyn comments as she started to smile.

Some ponder a little then nods in agreement as they turned to look at Cale in curiosity.

Cale acting like he didn't know anything while patting the children.

•••

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?'

•••

The Roan Kingdom's nobles and citizens expression turn grim.

But they didn't lose hope. They could still remember Cale's stern voice.

-

While Basen and Lily subconsciously grasp Cale's clothes. Cale smile when he see this as he pat their heads and said.
"There's nothing to worry about. I'll make sure that everything will be alright."

They look at him with wide eyes when they heard that. They started to smile as they nods their head. They feel assured because their brother's smile and his hand that pat them feel really warm.

"Good boy Basen, strong Lily, don't you worry! The great and mighty Raon Miru will protect you!" Raon exclaimed as he puff his chest proudly. On and Hong nods in agreement.

Those who see this cooed at their cuteness and also smile at their interaction.

Basen and Lily look at each other when they heard his words, they smile and responded back energetically.
"Okay!"

While Azad look at their interactions with a complicated face. He was fidgeting in his seat.

Cale notice this so he got up and flicked Azad's forehead, which caught Azad by surprise.

Azad bring his hand to rub his forehead as he glare at Cale.

Cale ignore this as he sit back down and said.
"Stop thinking about useless things."

Azad stiffened, but he quickly snap back and refute Cale's words.
"I wasn't thinking about anything."

Cale just scoffed at his answer.

Basen and Lily look at each other as they seem to realize what is troubling Azad. They hug him and ask.
"What about you? Will you stay with us?" They asked with expectant eyes.

"Huh? I-." Azad really didn't know how to respond. But when he look up, he see that Cale and the children are also waiting for his answer.

"I...," Azad hesitated. "Of course..." He finally answered after he see the kids starting to look dejected.

The kids cheer while Azad smile helplessly at this. Cale laugh because he had seen the kids mischievous smile as they signal to each other. They all just acting like that to make Azad agree.

-

"Hmm. I guess he choose that guy side." A figure that have been staying in the darkness comments.

"What will you do then?" Another figures ask him.

"We'll have to see first, whether or not, he is worth making a deal with." There was a glint in his purple eyes.

-

"That half-blood bastard actually choose the enemy side?! How dare he!" Dorph yell. His tone filled with anger.

White star frown.

-

A smile made it way to Azad face when he heard Dorph. Somehow hearing that made him feel satisfied.

•••

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.

•••

"I guess that's the ancient power that he's talking about before." Eruhaben comments.

"It- it's look r-really holy-pfft!" Liam said as he's trying his best not to laugh. But a bit later Cage and him start to laugh louder.

There's a scowl on Cale's face as he take a sip of his wine to calm himself.

While many look at the shield in amazement and couldn't understand what's wrong with it

•••

"... Didn't they say that he coughs up blood whenever he uses the shield?"

•••

"And that must be the side effect." Eruhaben comments again.

People close to Cale frown.

While Cale has a blank expression on his face as he bite his cookies that Raon gave him. He wonder why people are looking at him like that.

'This dense bastard!'

On sigh and shake her head as if she knows what he's thinking.

•••

His friend answer back with a calm expression. The citizens fixed his gaze up at the sky and started to speak.

"It's already been three days."

•••

"Three days?" Beacrox said with a frown. He turn to look at Cale.

While Cale averting Beacrox eyes.

"Hoh." Beacrox let out when he notices Cale actions.

Cale flinch at that.

•••

The Roan Kingdom's northern territories became the most dangerous locations after the crown Prince Alberu showed the video of the wyverns and claimed that the Roan Kingdom would not lose.

•••

"I guess that's what the atmosphere supposed to be like if we didn't get summoned here." Alberu said. If they didn't get summoned, they might have fought their enemy blindly.

"It would have been worse than that, your highness. Since we don't have young master silver shield here." Rosalyn comments with a frown.

"But we have the heroes, right?" Cale comments back with a nonchalant expression.

Rosalyn has a surprise look on her face. She smile and nods.

"Then that's that." Cale said as he turned back to the screen.

-

"Their confidence won't last after I destroyed them!" Clopeh sneer at them.

•••

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?"

•••

"Human! You're not allowed to faint! The great and mighty Raon Miru will protect you, so just stay back!" Raon exclaimed as he slam his small paws on the table aggressively.

The others nods with their arms crossed while looking at him with a serious face. While the dragons, no matter how many times they see it, look at Raon strangely.

Cale sigh and pat their head as he nods and replied.
"Okay."

Some smile at their interaction. The mood seem to have lighten up a bit. While the elves all cheering about dragons greatness or something.

•••

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."

•••

Many turned to look at Cale in admiration.

"What?" Cale ask in annoyance.

They flinched at his tone and turned away.

Cale scoffed then shove a cookie at Azad face.
Azad glare at him but still accepting it.

•••

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's right. There's nothing a kingdom without any specialities like you could do!" Clopeh sneer at them as he said that.

Alberu clenched his fist in anger. He's holding himself from losing his composure to a bastard like Clopeh. Then at that moment.

"Heh! If you think like that then your stupidity is not quite far from those stupid nobles, who underestimate their enemies." Cale said as he started to smile. He is look at Clopeh with a mocking smile.

"What do yo-?!" Clopeh shout in anger.

"Did you even try to find out anything about us? Of course, we are confident in ourselves because we also have something up our sleeve." Cale glance at Alberu when he said the last part.

Alberu looked shocked for a moment then he ruffles his hair as he laugh without caring about his appearance anymore.
'This bastard was the one who help us from behind.'

Rosalyn cover her mouth in realization as she looks at Cale who smile at them then she looks toward Aiden's group.

Cale smile after seeing that they understand his words.

But a lot of people couldn't understand this.

•••

That was why the weak young master Cale was overusing his ancient power.
The citizens heart was running wild. At that moment, one of his other friends casually added on.

"I thought he was trash."

•••

Many people flinched. Especially those from the Roan Kingdom. They all looked down in shame.

Cale had a stoic face as he take a bite from his cookie. He decided to ignored the children vicious words and relaxed instead.

"... Are you not mad?" Azad ask with a complicated expression.

"Not at all. Why waste my time on that? I'd rather use that time to relax or work instead." Cale answer nonchalantly. Azad stare at him for a bit then nods.

•••

The citizens 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 gangster! How is that being trash?"

"Didn't he also break stuff? I heard he even broke down some store door."

"Ahem, well."

•••

"Only that?" Litana frown.

"Cain-nim is right. The word 'trash' is too much. I didn't mean that what he's done is right but isn't it too much to called him trash? And didn't he compensated you in the end." She added. After she heard what Cain said before, she decided to asked some people about this since she curious. And she doesn't know much about the rumours.

Her subordinate somehow nods their head in agreement. Although they would have hated him if he act like that in the jungle, they wouldn't get to the point of calling him a trash. Even the world spoiled brat might be better than the word trash.

"Trash should refer to those bastard that abuse children or those who use their authority to abuse people! For me, the bastard that set fire to the jungle is the real trash!" Litana eyes filled with hatred as she glared at Adin when she said the last part.

Her subordinate also look at him filled with hatred.

Adin look at them with a mocking smile on his face.

Many people from Roan Kingdom look down in shame.

•••

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.

•••

"I'm going to kill the bastard who said that!" Liam shout.

"That's right!" The children shouted in agreement.

Cale decide to ignore their comments and decided relax into the couch instead.

Cain sigh as he shake his head with a small laugh.

•••

However, it was not enough to look down on his current sacrifice.

•••

Many nods at this. He could have easily left and go somewhere safe, but he decided to step up and stood at the front line to protect his territory and family instead.

"He really is an admirable person." Litana said in admiration. Like wow. Just now she look like she going to start a fight, but now she already turns to admire Cale instead.

Many people also look at Cale in admiration.

Although Cale didn't show it on his face, he really wants to strangled his counterpart for this.

•••

"He must have come to his senses. He is our young master-nim now."

•••

Cale scoffed after hearing that guy's words.

"They have no right to say that!" Hans said in anger. Aiden and the other nods in agreement.

•••

"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."

•••

Cale scoffed again at that as he ignored other people gaze.

"It's a good thing that Cale didn't learn anything from him or else Cale would have become a coward, just like him." Beacrox said sarcastically.

Many people turned to look at him as if to find out who dare talk about the Count that way.

But Beacrox didn't say anything anymore and turned to clean his great sword instead.

-

"Ahaha- I guess he still hate the Count for that huh?" Hans laugh awkwardly as he said that.

"What do you mean, Hans-nim?" Luka ask while looking at him.

Hans awkwardly shifted in his seat as if he didn't want to talk about it. He slipped just now. But he decided to talk in the end, since it's look like they going to bother him until he talks.

"Uh- Uhm. After the late countess had just passed, the count started to ignored young master-nim and buried himself with work-." Hans start to explain.

Cale decide to close his eye and lean into the couch when he felt people gaze on him.

"-Mr.Ron and Beacrox hyung were really pissed at that. They want to stomp into the count office and have a little talk with him once. Me and young master-nim barely manage to hold them back." Hans had an awkward expression on his face when he finished.

Many sweat dropped after hearing that. They turned to look at the Molan duo then quickly turned away after seeing Ron's benign smile and Beacrox cold gaze as he hold the great sword.

-

Deruth had a disbelief face as he sigh.

•••

The citizens 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 proclamation without having a certain date.

•••

"But he's quite an amazing lord. He actually decided to open his own warehouse for his citizens." Valentino comments.

"While most of the nobles bastard would only care about themselves." Edric added.

Many nobles glared at Edric but he didn't care and ignored them instead.

•••

The citizens 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 Wyverns Knights Brigade would definitely focus their attacks on Rain City and not the rural villagers.

They still chose to gather together underneath the lord of the territory.

•••

"That just show how much trust they have in the count and young master Cale." John comments.

Some nods in agreement at his statement.

•••

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."

•••

Clopeh scoffed.
"There's a limit to how arrogant you can be. Do you really think you could win against me with your measly power?" He said.

"Who knows? We'll just have see, which one of us that will win." Cale said back in a playful manners.

Clopeh glared at Cale again.

Many different race shake their head at Clopeh stupidity but also curious about who will win.

-

"Isn't he interesting?" White star said with a smirk. He somehow find Cale really interesting with the way Cale acting.

•••

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.

•••

"I'll make sure to completely destroy that confident self of yours." Clopeh said with a craze smile.

Many people from Roan Kingdom glared at Clopeh in anger.

While Clopeh scoffed at them. Since all they could do is glare at him.

•••

The citizen looked back up at the sky.

"I heard that he was working hard even though he is in pain."

•••

Many people start to worry about the redhead after hearing that.

-

Ron frown. He thought he didn't leave over there, so what was he doing not taking care of the young master?

He remember after the late countess passed, the young master would always pushed himself too hard and hurt himself in the training. Ron had promise the late countess that he'd protect the young master. So Ron was quite relieved when he heard his young master decided to stop training his swordmanship, after all Ron can just protect him.

But Ron had decided to leave after he smelled the scent of those Arm bastard on the punk, Choi Han. He didn't dare say anything to his young master since his young master had been distancing himself from him and his son. So he decided to leave without a word even though he knows it wasn't a good idea.

'But now that I know what's he been doing behind my back, I should try talking to him. Hah, to think I didn't realize his intentions.' Ron sigh as he thought about when he should talk to the young master.

-

Cale suddenly got a chill but decided to brush it off as someone talking shit about him and relax instead.

•••

'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 rumour 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 rumour himself.

•••

"Hah! I bet he had done that just to raise his fame! He is still trash in the end!" A noble, who opposed Cale, scoffed as he shouted.

He instantly met with many vicious gaze.

While Cale is trying to calm the children.

"Human! Let's go of me! I'm going to kill that bastard! How dare he call you that?!" Raon shout as he struggling to get out of Cale embrace. Cale also pat On and Hong head to calm them down.

"Calm down, calm down. Why waste our time on some bastard like him? Why not use that time to eat and play instead? Also don't you want to know who will win?" Cale calmly said while patting their heads.

They stop and ponder about it then calm down.
Cale sigh as he picked up the cookies and give the kids each. Even Azad.

-

While Aiden was holding Liam and Hans holding Luka from rushing out and kill the bastard who just talk bad about their young master. Of course, Beacrox is a little busy to notice this.

Anyway, they're already remember his face so they can decide what to do to him later.

•••

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?"

•••

"Hah... Even in that world..." Young master Eric said helplessly. His eyes soften.

Gilbert and Amiru also smile helplessly at this.

•••

"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.

•••

"Human! You're not a bad person!" Raon exclaimed. His siblings nods in agreement.

Some cooed at his cuteness.

'Why does he keep thinking so lowly of himself?' Many frown.

•••

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.

Furthermore, Ron was the first check for those guidelines, while crown prince Alberu was the second.

•••

"Hah. This crazy bastard." Alberu sigh. He had listen to his father conversation with Cale's parents and uncle in curiosity. But after hearing what kind of trouble the redhead mother's and uncle's had done, he started to rethink his decision about making a deal with him.

"Why would he let a butler check the guidelines before the crown prince?" A noble ask.

Ron has a benign smile on his face hearing that question.

•••

Ron had once been the head of one of the top five assassin households in the Eastern continent.

•••

The nobles turned pale.

"He really is Ron Molan." Glenn mutter. He wasn't sure at first because he was busy with Bud, but now he's sure.

While Bud just drink quietly next to Glenn. He didn't dare say anything in case Glenn smack him again.

"But why is he in the Western Continent?" Someone couldn't help but asked. No one answer.

-

"There is someone, from that household, that's still alive?" Atures Poeff mutter. Then he turn around and look because he felt someone gaze on him, but it was already gone.

•••

He was more experienced in military knowledge than Cale. Furthermore, crown prince Alberu was focusing everything on the northeast region, which had the highest chance of being invaded first.

'It really is nice when other people do things for you.'

•••

Cale nods while patting the kids head.

"You say that but you always done all the work and you wouldn't even let us help." Geno comments as he shake his head when he see Cale nodding his head. The other agree with him.

Cale just let his comment in one ear and out the other.

•••

Cale was currently relaxed.

Ron's smile became cold as soon as Cale's gaze move 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

•••

"Relax? But you still decide to work in the end." Witira said in disbelief.

•••

He could see Cale's pale expression.

•••

Edric and Cale's people frown.

Ron turned to look at Cale. Although he looks better than the one in the screen, he seems to have lost some weight.

'Did no one serve him again after I left?' Ron frown then shake his head. 'No. Hans is with young master, so there's no way.'

Looks like he must have a talk with him. If he couldn't talk with the young master then he just have to talk with Hans instead.

Hans suddenly got a chill. He rub the back of his neck and decided to ignored it.

•••

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 complaint.

•••

The elves are already on the floor worshipping. Saying something like, the dragons greatness and that they could die happily with this.

Many people decide to ignore them. They never knew that elves were this crazy toward dragons.

•••

"... You stupidly good human!"

•••

"That's right! You are stupidly good!" Raon exclaimed as he nods. The kids and Azad nods in agreement.

Cale turn a deaf ears to his comments.

•••

"He's right. You're stupid."

"... It's frustrating."

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.

•••

"One is a weird human while another is a weird dragon. Wow." Eruhaben comments as he shake his head.

The other dragons couldn't help but agree with him.

Lord Sheritt didn't comment on this since her son really is unique. And she didn't feel any hostile feeling from the gold dragon.

While Cale also turn a deaf ears at this and pat Raon's head instead.

•••

"No. You could be in danger if you show yourself."

Cale had sounded very stern.

•••

"Tsk. A human worry about a dragon getting hurt? How unbelievable" Rasheel scoffed as he said that.

Many nods at his statement.

Mila also smile in amusement. This human is really interesting.

•••

Raon had responded back to that.

"Who and what would put a great and mighty Dragon in danger?"

•••

"That's right! Who would?" Rasheel puff his chest proudly as he said that.

Dodori and Raon had done the same. Mila look at her son fondly and laughed a little at his action.

While Cale face was blank but if you look closely, you could see fondness in his eyes as he pat Raon's head.

Many squeal at their cuteness. Although they are dragons, they looked really cute.

Lord Sheritt smile softly at their interaction. It's okay, she can wait a bit more, she told herself.

•••

However, Cale had no plans on revealing Raon when he still did not know much about the crown that drank Dragon blood.

•••

"What?"

The good atmosphere in the room dropped. They couldn't believe what they just heard.

White star face morph into a frown.

"H-how could there be such a curse item that drink the great dragon blood?" Pendrick question with a trembling voice. There was a frown on his face.

Many people especially the elves also has the same question. Then.

BANG!!

Everyone turn to look at the source of that loud noise.

"You." Syrem let out with his face down.

"Was it you?! You bastard!!"
Syrem shouted in anger. His whole body was shaking from anger. Although the information was from a different world, his intuition told him that, that red-hair bastard is the one who stole his crown!

They all turned to look at Cale after hearing Syrem words.

Cale was looking at Syrem with a bored expression then a smirk appear on his face.

"Who knows?"

White star had a deep frown when he heard Cale's answer.

Syrem was about to try destroying the wall but Cain intervened.

Cain snapped his fingers and make Syrem sit back down. He make it so Syrem couldn't move or speak.

Some were still processing what had just happened.

While some couldn't help but blush because of Cale look really hot to them just now.

Alberu and Choi Han buried their face in their hands and groan. Their ears were bright red. They couldn't help it because Cale looked really hot-. They slap their face at that moment.

Tasha and Rosalyn laugh at their actions.

-

Cale scoffed then he noticed something strange with Azad. The kids also noticed this.

Cale turned to look at him and asked.
"What's wrong?"

Azad snap out of his dazed and looked at him in confusion.
"I'm fine?" He replied.

"But you're shaking." On said in worries. Raon, Hong and Cale's siblings also look at him in a worry.

Only then did Azad notice himself shaking. He shake his head and said.
"I'm fine."

Cale sigh and decided to shut his mouth after seeing that Azad didn't want to talk about it. The kids also stop asking.

Raon then lay down on Cale lap while On and Hong rub themselves on Azad. Azad smile and pat their head softly. Hong went to lay on Lily's lap while On decided to stay with Azad.

So Cain went to Basen instead. Basen didn't mind this.

[Alright. Back to the screen.]

They all turned back to the screen after they heard that.

•••

He had not had any time to meet the ancient Dragon Eruhaben.

•••

"Oh? I guess I know him over there." Eruhaben said in amusement.

Many different race were shocked again. He knows not one but two dragons!

•••

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.

•••

Anticipation filled their bodies. They're really curious about what he will do.

•••

Dark Elf.

Necromancer.

The Tiger tribe.

And the Henituse territory.

Those were the names of the heroes Cale was planning on creating.

•••

What?

"What the...!"

Many were shocked at this revelation. They couldn't believe what they just heard.

Although they know he doesn't discriminate between race, they didn't think he would go as far as to make them heroes, especially those who use dead mana.

Alberu eyes were trembling. He turn to look at his aunt as if to make sure he heard it right. He saw his aunt also look at him as she hold Mary hands. There were hope in them.

'Could they really coexist together with human without any prejudice against them?' was what those who use dead mana thought.

"He truly is an amazing person." Litana said with a smile. Her subordinate nods in agreement.

Cale smile.
'Well that's not a bad idea. That way my people will be accepted too.'

•••

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.

The Indestructible Shield had definitely gotten stronger than before.

•••

'I should keep an eye on him. Just the fact that he hide his strength and affiliated with a guild without anyone knowing is already enough. He might have something else up his sleeve.' Adin thought as he started to frown.

Syrem gritted his teeth in anger.

•••

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.

•••

"What the...?" Adin let out in surprised. Right. He forgot that Cale Henituse have two ancient powers.

'I must get rid of him. The Cale Henituse here not only have two ancient powers, but he's also train with sword!' Adin thought as he came to conclusion.

White star smirk when he see Adin determine expression.

-

Ron eyes turn cold when he heard his young master said he only sleep for about one or two hours.

Cale rub the back of his neck in confusion.

•••

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?"

It was Choi Han.

•••

Choi Han perk up but frown at the fact he called that guy with honorific. He couldn't help it.

Even Cale had a weird expression on his face.

'He even had the heroes work with him.' was what many people thought.

•••

Cale turned his gaze to the side.
'Why doesn't this punk ever age?'

•••

Choi Han froze. He start fidgeting in his seat awkwardly.

Rosalyn pat his shoulder with one hand while her other hand is clamps over her mouth to stop herself from laughing.

Lock also snickering in his seat.

So Choi Han shove her hand away and pout.

'Cute,' was what Cale thought when he see that. 'Wait what was I thinking?!' Cale shake his head at that and turned back to the screen.

•••

He questioned how Choi Han still looked like a high school student, but decided that it was annoying to think about it 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 [...] had been completely changed. That was why it was a new history.

•••

"A part got cut again. I had forgot about this since it hasn't cut any part other than that one time." Alberu said with a frown.

"What's change that made him write a new history?" Someone question but no one could answer.

•••

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.

•••

Many frown again. They turned to look at Cale who was eating cookies in the room and back at the one on the screen.

'The other Cale looks paler and skinner than this cale.'

Choi Han was feeling complicated, seeing his counterpart acting like that. Although he's already made up his mind to apologize, he couldn't find the right timing.

•••

'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.

•••

'Why the hell did he drink that? It must be another sour lemonade.' Cale thought as look at the cup with a disgusted face.

•••

'Hmm?'

It was a sweet tea that he actually liked.

•••

"Huh?" Cale let out as a piece of cookie fall from his mouth.

Some look at him in confusion. They don't know what's wrong with him.

Cale snap out of his stupor and mumbled.
"My counterpart didn't take care of himself and the other Ron bring him a sweet tea, but for me when I was younger, whenever I don't take care of myself, he would always bring me a helly sour lemonade. How unfair."

Cale continued to grumble as he take a bite from the cookie.

Many look at him in disbelief. Just because of that? Although they find it really cute when he grumble like that.

Ron laugh when he heard his young master grumble.

Cale who heard that laugh flinched and decided to stop his grumbling and turned back to the screen.

•••

Cale peeked toward Ron, who had his usual benign smile. Cale started to think.

'I guess the old man is tired as well. He forgot to bring me bitter tea.'

•••

Aiden and the other laugh at his thought. Although they know his distaste for lemon, they still find his reaction quite funny.

Cale glare at them when he heard their laughter.

•••

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.
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!

•••

Many people flinched at that loud noise. They then turn pale.

Cale narrow his eyes as Lily grasped his shirt tightly.

Clopeh smirk.
'Finally.'

•••

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!

•••

Some put their hands over their ear because the noise was really loud.

•••

The sky was becoming filled with those noises.

Wiiiiiiiing- Wiiiiiiiing-

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.

•••

"This show that young master Cale really knows the future, since they're all practice in advance, like they were so sure the war will happen." Alberu comments.

Lily and Basen turned to look at Cale when they heard Alberu's words.

"What's wrong?" Cale ask.

"Does that mean hyung/orabuni also know the future?" Lily and Basen asked in unison.

"Hm?" Cale had a questioning look.

Many turned to look at them when they heard their question.

"I saw you told Mr.Hilsman to train the knight harder in preparation for the war. Although father didn't say anything about the war, he also said the same thing." Lily said while Basen nods in agreement.

"You also told us to play more and do things we like because we might not be able to do so in the near future." Basen added after he ponder a little. And Lily nods at that.

Cale was quiet at first then he sigh and nods.

Many people were shocked at this revelation. The Cale Henituse of their world also know the future?!

"I guess that's how they know then." Alberu finally said after he snap back from his shock.

"What do you mean, your highness?" Rosalyn turned to ask Alberu when she heard his words.

"The Darkmoon guild also mentioned about war during our negotiations, so I guess he is the one who told them." Alberu explain.

"Oh," Rosalyn let out as she nods in understanding. "I think his position must be high. Not only did he know about the future, he also have a lot of wealth and strong too." She added.

Alberu nods.

•••

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.

Rooooooar!

•••

Many couldn't help but flinched at this.

•••

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.

•••

The same goes to many people that are watching.

Lily and Basen were hugging Azad.

While Clopeh was smiling when he see people scared expression.

•••

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?

•••

"No. The shield will not break so you won't die." Cale sternly stated.

Many people were stunt at his words.

"That's right! The shield will not break!" Hilsman exclaimed while nodding his head. The knights that was with Hilsman also nods their head.

•••

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.

•••

Many look at him in amazement while some somehow still couldn't believe it.

Cale ignored other people gaze like c'mon, that's not him! So he decided to ignored them and talk with the kids instead.

•••

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.

•••

"Oppa. Orabuni. Father look really cool here." Lily exclaimed as Basen nods.

"Of course but I'm still cooler than him." Cale said with a proud face and his chin up.

They nods when they heard his words. While Cain laugh at Cale action.

Edric also laugh at Cale since it's bring back memories.

"No! I'm cooler than you human!" Raon interject as he puff his chest and flaps his wing proudly.

Cale was stunt then he laugh as he nods his head.

Many cooed at the wholesome scene.
-

Deruth was feeling proud when he heard Lily's words but slumped in defeat at Cale's response.

"It's been so long since I heard him say that." Deruth mumbled.

Lady Violan stare at him when she heard that.

Deruth sigh and explain.
"When Cale was young we used to spar with each other. Whenever we finished sparring, Cale and Jour would always said that I'm cool but no matter what, they're still cooler than me."

Lady Violan laugh after hearing that.

"That's so like her. Too bad, I couldn't see the little Cale do that." Edric said in disappoinment.

Zed sigh.

-

Cale was a little embarrassed hearing his father words. He had say that subconsciously as he didn't think his father would still remember those embarrassing act that he had done when he was young.

•••

"Everybody focus!"

•••

Everyone turn back to the screen after hearing that.

•••

The pounding on the shield and the wyverns' roar were not as loud as the Count's voice.

Cale listened to Count Henituse's voice and started to smile.

'He is surprisingly talented.'

It was the moment that he was evaluating his father's abilities.

•••

Deruth sigh as Lady Violan smile softly at this.

While Edric was laughing at Deruth.

•••

Baaaaang-!

A noise that was louder than before echoed inside the shield.

Cale started to frown.

15 meters.

•••

"Oh- oh my god..."
Many people frown, while some turn pale. That's really big!

•••

An extremely large wyverns 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 seem to be a mutant.

Cale started to speak.

"You're here."

•••

Rock Sekka frown at Cale's statement.

Clopeh was also frowning. He was disappointed since Cale Henituse doesn't seem to scared when he see the wyverns.

•••

He knew this person would come.

He was waiting for this person on top of the white wyvern. The Paerun Kingdom's Guardian Knight.

•••

"Young master Cale was waiting for the guardian knight?"

"But why would he?"

There were sound of whispering in the room about this.

•••

The white-haired Clopeh Sekka.

He pulled the wyvern back and looked down toward Cale.

The two of them made eyes contact.

Clopeh Sekka looked down at Cale and started to speak.

"Everything will crumble once we destroy the shield."

•••

Clopeh smirk with his chin up arrogantly. He turn to look at Cale then gritted his teeth when he see Cale carefree manner.
'That bastard-!'

•••

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.

•••

Alberu had a cold as smile on his face.

-

Edric whistle when he see that.
"Do you know what he have up his sleeves?" He asked.

Zed nods.
"Of course."

•••

It would seem as if he had been scared by the Roan Kingdom's proclamation of he started anywhere else.

That was why the Indomitable Alliance had selected the Roan Kingdom as their target

•••

"Tsk. They and their stupid pride will be the cause of the their downfall." Toonka scoff at them. Harol nods at his statement.

"And they're just trying to hide their embarrassment since they didn't think anyone would make that proclamation." Aiden said mockingly.

"What do you mean?" Taylor couldn't help but asked.

"We already found out that they plan on attacking the Roan Kingdom. Whether the Roan Kingdom make that proclamation or not, they would still get attack." Lena explain.

Clopeh glare them when he heard that. But decided it's a waste to get angry at them. He just have to wait and see their crying face when they lose.

•••

Furthermore, he had known about the slightly famous person in Roan Kingdom.

It was the son of a noble who used a silver shield.

"How interesting."

•••

"Why, thank you." Cale said playfully.

Clopeh glare at Cale again.

[Wow. He really glare at people a lot.] Cain think when he see Clopeh glare at Cale again.

"Hahaha- little brother is really pissing him off!" Cage exclaimed while laughing.

Cale glare at her when he heard her calling him, her little brother again. Taylor also laugh when he see this.

•••

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.

•••

"See. He didn't even know my name." Cale shrugged with an, 'I told you' face.

Many people laugh at his statement.

•••

That was why Clopeh had personally come.

He was the one who would use his overwhelming strength in order to write a new legend.

•••

"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.

•••

Some people close their eyes because they couldn't bare to see, while some clasps their hands together and pray.

At Cale's table, the kids all quiet and focus on the screen since they want to know who will win.

•••

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?'

•••

"Oh. You actually know my name? Well I guess you're not that stupid." Cale shrugged as he said that while shaking his head.

•••

'He would soon die.'

•••

"Heh." Ron let out a cold laugh.

While many people look at Clopeh coldly. Does that guy really think he could kill him?

•••

There was a limit to ancient powers.

•••

"Well he's not wrong about this. There really is a limit to how much an ancient power can handle." Eruhaben comments.

"But I'm sure his ancient powers are different, right? He did say he knows of a way to strengthen it after all." Bud responded.

•••

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.

•••

"More enemies?" Alberu frown as he said that.

•••

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 the hell?!"
Many people couldn't help but shout out in surprised. Beast people are also involving in the war?

Clopeh gave them a smug look.

•••

The Bear Tribe was one of the strongest Beast people tribes and had the largest number.

•••

Cale raised an eyebrow and said.

"I won't deny that they have the largest numbers, but about being the strongest tribe, I don't think so." Cale said in a carefree manner as he take a sip from his wine.

Sayeru glare at Cale.

•••

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.

•••

"Dwarves too?!"

Many people shouted again. They couldn't help it as the scale of the war starting to turn really big.

Even Alberu starting to get worried. Although he get to prepare a lot of things because of the negotiations between him and the Darkmoon guild, he still couldn't help it.

•••

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 knows that the citizens must have the same expressions on their faces as well.
He was certain that this would be an easy victory.

•••

Clopeh was smiling from ear to ear. At that moment.

"And I can't wait to see his face after he got defeated." Hannah was the one who said this.

"Right." Jack nodded in agreement with his sister.

'Thise bastard-!' Clopeh look at them in anger.

•••

This attack was stronger than any magic bomb or crumbling palace.

•••

"I don't know why, but isn't it weird that they mentioned a crumbling palace?" Eric said in confusion.

Rosalyn, Choi Han and Lock had an awkward smile on their face as they fidgeting in their seat.

While Liam and Luka both look smug for some reason.

Zed and Alberu feel iffy for some reason too.

•••

Even this weak attack should be enough to destroy a small territory.

He then made eye contact with Cale again.

This was the end.

Baaaaaang! Baaaaaang!

•••

Some people put their hands over their ears because of the loud noise again.

•••

The banging noises were so loud it felt as if it could shatter their eardrums.

•••

Cale decide to asked Cain for some earplugs and give it to the kids so that their ears won't hurt.

Cain also give them to other people who asked for it too.

•••

"... How could we..."

One of the more cowardly soldiers plopped to the ground.

'The shield will break.'

That was what he was thinking.

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.

•••

Many people frown again. He really look like he would get blown away by the wind.

However, Cale couldn't help but feel offended by that.

•••

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.

•••

Many become speechless.

'Is he seriously praising them right now? Shouldn't he be worried?'

•••

However.

- Human, the wyverns are large, but they are weak. These pung things are kind of cute.

'There's a Dragon here?'

•••

"Ah." That's right! They forgot he had a dragon by his side!

Many people were embarrassed at this. They were busy worrying because of the wyverns that they forgot about the baby dragon.

The elves look at them like they are the most stupid people in the world. How could they forget about the great and mighty being.

•••

The shield would not break.

This was because it was covered by a Dragon's shield.

•••

"Tsk! So what? He's just a baby dragon anyway." Clopeh exclaimed. He completely forgot about that damned little dragon.

All the dragons gave Clopeh a death glare. But Clopeh acting smug because of Cain's rule of 'No violence'.

While Syrem smirk as an idea came to mind.

'That's right. Since that bastard took my crown, I'll just have to kill his dragon then.' Syrem smiling evilly when he thought this.

•••

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.'

•••

"The way he put it would definitely make people misunderstood if we hadn't see what he done." Litana said helplessly. He's really a walking contradiction.

Many people agree with her.

•••

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.

•••

Some people let out a breath of relief.

'That's right. There's no way they could destroy a Dragon's shield.'

Their eyes starting to filled with hope again as they thought that.

•••

In fact, it only started to shine even brighter.

The soldiers repeated what the Count had said.

"... The shield will not break."

The young master who looked as if he could fall over at any moment did not fall.

•••

"Okay. I feel offended." Cale said with an offended face.

Many people couldn't help but laugh at his statement. Somehow he looks really cute.

•••

"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.

•••

"And that's why you shouldn't underestimate your enemy." Cage said sarcastically while looking at Clopeh.

Clopeh glare at her as she glare back.

•••

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.

•••

Zed eyebrow twitch. Although that smile is different, it's still remind him of all those headache.

Edric laugh when he see Zed expression.

•••

Clopeh fell 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.

Hundred of skeletons.

The skeletons of monster were descending from the sky. These corpses were starting to fill the air.

Cale started to smile.

"Too bad, this is just the beginning."

•••

"Young master Cale is really determine to make the necromancer become a hero." Litana mutter.

-

"Hahaha- he's insane!" Alberu exclaimed. To think Cale Henituse would openly show that he's working with the necromancer, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.

"That guy is really a crazy bastard!" Bud mutter.

Almost everyone in the room couldn't believe it.

•••

He looked up at the sky and could not hide his smile.

The Forest of Darkness.

•••

"Why did he suddenly mentioned that place?" Choi Han mumbled. He could never forget that place. That hell that he spent tens of year in.

Rosalyn pat his shoulder to comfort him.

•••

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.

•••

"What the...!" Adin let out in shock.

"He's actually know another dragon?!" Pendrick exclaimed excitedly.

"No. That's not a real dragon." Eruhaben said while frowning.

Many were confused at this.

"That is just the dragon bones..." Lord Sheritt added. She and many other dragons were frowning.

They turned back to the screen after hearing her words.

•••

Although it was just a collection of black bones, it was close to 20 meters in length.

•••

Her words are true. It really is just bones.

•••

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 overload, even after death.

•••

"I thought Lord Sheritt was the last dragon lord." Cage blurted out.

"Hmm. That dragon probably have the potential to become the new dragon lord. But it probably got kill before that could happen." Lord Sheritt respond. Her voice turned cold at the end.

Many dragons frown.

•••

Cale watched the dragon skeleton open up its wings.

A battle with an overwhelming advantage was bound to be entertaining.

•••

The screen then turn black.

[You can take a break to process the information first. I'll let you know when we continue.] Cain said loud enough for everyone to hear him.

Cale asked Cain something before he get up and walk to where Mary is. The children all follow him.

Cale talk with Mary about something for a bit then they both start walking toward the door. The kids also follow them and Cale didn't say anything about that.

Mary had already talk to Tasha.

Many were really curious about what they're going to do but couldn't followed them to see.
