Ehhehehe...sorry this chapter was pretty late, I don't have a schedule but it was finished later than I would have liked. I've been busy...that's about it :)
Thank you and enjoy!
(oop, also I've screwed my self over T-T what annoys me most is inconsistency, and guess what I'm pretty sure I failed at that, it's okay though I'll keep learning. but what I've screwed up is, I said tcf time is after the Stan territory battle (white star conspiracy) but fredo seems to know cale, which he techniqly does know but it isn't Naru time yet, so cale hasn't been Naru yet! So he isn't fredo's son! Also alberu shouldn't know cale's identity as Kim Rok Soo yet and cale hasn't met Kim Rok Soo(go cale)! And dodori, Mila and rasheel haven't met cale yet!!!! You know what? I can't bother fix that up but I'll keep it in mind) I'll rant more at the end. I'm sorry T^T
(I read a really good tcf volume recap/nutshell by blueteller on Tumblr, it's really funny, check it out)
---------------
last chapter: "What is the young master teaching you raon?" Sheritt asked.
"U-um mom, human only said to loot the bad guys!" Raon tried explaining, he saw his human ducking away and he wanted to follow but his mom was looking at him.
"Haaaaaaah, Raon scamming and looting is bad, okay, don't do that" Sheritt scolded. Unfortunately she couldn't do much except to tell her son what's right and wrong. 'Is it really okay for the kids to go looting and scamming people?' Yeah, no.
"Little kid, there are somethings adults like the unlucky bastard do, you shouldn't copy him on that...If they take something from you, i'll accept taking it back but don't loot, scam or steal without reason, your greater and mightier than them okay" Eruhaben explained to the Raon.
"You too you Punk!" Eruhaben yelled to cale, where ever he had gone.
------------------
A quiet cough cough told the gold dragon where the punk was.
He had really snuck away to the back of the room leaving the kids with a pat on their heads and a goodbye smack to alberu who was trying to cover his snickering.
Unfortunately most people were looking at him weirdly, he really didn't teach raon to scam people!!! Cale wanted to defend himself, but thought leaving was just better. His body did need some movement unfortunately. He looked around to find somewhere to go, going back now would just mean more lemonade and lectures on bad habits from Ron and eruhaben, probably also lord sheritt. He really didn't want to face to angry powerful ancient dragons.
Luckily Kim Rok Soo waved him over.
"Hey cale!" "Welcome Young Master Cale" "Young Master Cale! sorry but we're saving the alcohol because the lady said so" Bud and Taylor greeted while cage explained the lack of alcohol on the table. Eric gave a tired nod of acknowledgment to cale.
"Uhm hi, if were watching in order you might need that alcohol..." Cale just wanted to disappear, if alberu caught him, he'd be dead.
"What did you do cale?" Kim Rok Soo sighed.
"I think his highness is going to plan murder..." Cale mumbled.
"Huh?!" Bud was confused. 'weren't they brothers? what did he do so wrong?'
"Hehe...warning, if you need to step out, feel free too and reminder no fighting, maiming or murder" Nervously glancing toward alberu freya spoke.
'why is she worried?' everyone thought.
meanwhile,
'I feel a headache coming' thought alberu (correctly).
[chapter 109: scary (2)]
"Scary!? I'm not good with horror movies!" The youngest lady of the Orsena house said. (/we don't really now her character too much but I imagine her on the timid but responsible side)
"you can leave when ever you wish young lady" her butler replied.
{Early morning a few days later, Cale was climbing the third peak of the Ten Finger Mountains with only Raon by his side.
"Human! Taking a stroll is fun!"
'A stroll my ass.'
Cale wiped the sweat off of his face as he used the Sound of the Wind to quickly climb the mountain.}
"Cale-nim should exercise a little at least" Choi Han said, he knew cale wouldn't want too and instead would want to just rest when everything was over. Maybe they could all travel for fun like the kids had suggested, slowly though but it would be fun. With his family after the war they could live in peace.
Choi Han smiled.
'Is he thinking of a training schedule for my dongsaeng?' Alberu wondered. 'Good luck instructor nim'
{These peaks were called the Ten Finger Mountains because they resembled fingers. This meant that the third and eighth peaks were the tallest. These two peaks were so tall that the peak was covered by the clouds and snow did not melt until the middle of summer.}
"Ah! that's so pretty!" Lily said, her eyes were sparkling. 'Someday I'll go there too!' Maybe with her family.
"The Roan kingdom is beautiful" Litana said.
"Hahahaha! of course it is!" Toonka agreed.
"I only hope we can keep it that way" Alberu* sighed. they really needed more information to survive, it unfortunate that they didn't have cale who came and supported them through the war. 'Instead we will step up, just like our counterparts did and survive'.
{'But that peak is melting.'
The final ancient power was the, 'Fire of Destruction.'
Other people would not know about it yet. This ancient power would melt about half of this third peak in two weeks.}
"Uhm...is it okay?" Eric asked Cale.
"yeah, I took the ancient power so the peaks shouldn't melt" Cale answered.
"So can we go?" A excited lily asked violan.
"When we have time lily, that's a wonderful idea" Violan said.
"I guess that landmarks are now extra special because cale got his ancient power there, the tree too" Bud nonchalantly commented amused.
"That's a good idea for a section of the museum..." Clopeh mumbled in thought.
"hmm yeah, we could also add a section on all the wars Young Master Cale fought in" Hilsman agreed.
"Let's keep adding good ideas as we go!" Dodori yelled excited he could help write the tale of a hero.
{"Human! It is hot! What is this?"
"Aigoo."
Cale groaned as he reached the top.
"Isn't this lava? I read about it in a book! It is hotter than the fire in the Jungle! It is an interesting power!"}
"Roan-nim is very smart" Rosalyn said smiling.
"You're right Smart Rosalyn, of course I am! And I'll keep getting smarter and stronger like goldie gramps! I'll get stronger than goldie gramps just wait!" Raon declared.
"I'm sure you will" Eruhaben agreed, he was teaching raon after all.
"I can't wait to see it raon" Sheritt smiled.
{Lava appeared in front of Cale and Raon. It was not huge, but still a decently large lava pit. Of course, this peak was not a volcano. However, this lava was melting the mountain. They could feel intense heat radiating from the fire.
But Cale was feeling less of it thanks to the necklace with the Fire Suppressing Water, as well as the Vitality of the Heart. He looked at the center of the lava pit.
"Ha!"
He couldn't believe it. A golden pig sculpture was spinning in circles in the middle of the lava pit.}
"The fu-" Bud was about to say.
"Language" Cale interrupted.
Bud made an offended noise and scoffed. "Sorry but what the heck is that?"
"an ancient power" Cale answered straight forwardly leaving bud looking at him with a 'I can't with this guy' exasperated look.
{"Raon."
Cale called out to Raon, who was staring at the interesting sight in front of him. Raon could see Cale holding his magic bag open in front of him.
"What is it, human?"
"Hand over the money."}
"Huh? there's nothing to buy there?" It was amiru who innocently asked. People also wondered why cale needed money right now. Unfortunately the crown prince was already getting a bit of an idea in his dead.
{Raon blinked a few times before putting the silver coins in Cale's bag.
Cale slowly started to smile. It had been a while since he did something this refreshing without harming anyone.}
Heads slowly turned to cale.
"He's a hero?" Someone said more assuring themselves.
"No I'm not!"
"Dongsaeng you might wanna keep your head down" Kim Rok Soo warned before pulling cale behind him.
"I'm not your dongsaeng...but thank you" Cale whispered. At least Kim Rok Soo would protect him.
{Showing off your wealth was best for stress relief.
"Ha, hahaha!"}
"Cale Henituse...I dare you..." If anyone saw the crown prince right now they would've immediately bolted. The aura radiating off of him was sheer dominance, the Aura of a experienced ruler who's been through too much mixed with the aura of a teacher who's had to deal with a shitty class all day only to come home late through traffic to wake up and go to work again. Even the white star looked away.
(Fun side story: My chemistry/science teacher is...Unique. One time, and I say one time because he does this all the time. He warned a student who was talking in his class to 'shut up before I pull out the shot gun behind my desk' and then proceeded to say that's the first warning and he wouldn't get a second. It's actually hilarious because his classes, even the 'bad' students are quite. The man even has a metre ruler that he randomly bangs on the table to get our attention or if someone talks, I swear I have to mentally prepare for his classes, that's probably pretty mild to other stuff his done :) )
{Cale started to laugh out loud.
"...Human, why are you laughing?"
Raon moved backward. It was not because Cale was laughing. It was odd to see Cale laughing like this, but it was nice to see. However, what Cale started to do was odd.}
"How is that nice to see, that's something out of a fucking horror movie!" The white thing yelled. Wait how did he know what a horror movie is?
{Clang, clang.
Cale grasped a fistful of silver coins and threw it into the lava.}
"Ha...haha.."
...
No one wanted look at the crown prince right now.
{"Human! Do you know how many chicken skewers! How much candy?! Human, why are you doing this?! Tell me if you have any issues with me! Human!"
"Hahahaha!"
Cale was not listening to Raon. At that moment, something weird started to happen.
Ooooooooong.
They could hear a noise as the silver coins did not melt and started to rise up from the lava to create a path.}
"At least they didn't melt?? Alberu! It's okay maybe we can send dark elves to check if they're still there!" Tasha was trying to calm down her nephew.
"Cookie prince!!! Don't kill human!!!" Raon clung on to Alberu whose gaze was down with his hair hiding his expression, however he was still chuckling.
- "I'm glad I don't have a physical form right now haha" the cheapskate sweated.
{The former owner of this ancient power was a greedy and wealthy warrior.
This last ancient power required money to get.
It really felt nice to spend money like it was water.}
"Water?" Alberu stoically questioned, it did't seem to be directed toward anyone. Most- No all of the nobles got shivers seeing the crown prince like this.
{"Hahahaha!"
Cale laughed out loud like a hero as he continued to throw silver coins in front of him and into the lava. A silver path made of money was slowly starting to form.}
Alberu's head suddenly flipped up and his eyes were glaring at a single person. He had an angelic smile on his face as he walked toward the person. Most people thought that the compassionate crown prince had calmed down but the others knew this was the calm before the storm.
Kim Rok Soo felt a tug on his clothes from cale as Alberu got closer, he was getting nervous seeing the smiling crown prince coming straight for him. He might die today. He thought but smiled back hesitantly.
"Ahahaha..Your highness? I don't believe we've met formally, allow me to introduce myse-" Kim Rok Soo promptly shut up. 'Sorry cale my niece is still at home' However he prayed that the crown princes anger would subside.
Angelina who was secretly watching, looked towards the god of death. She shook her head. "That's not happening... shouldn't you help your child?" She asked rising an eyebrow.
"Ummm...Gods can't interfere with mortal issues" (Traitor) The god of death sheepishly watched , Really! there was nothing he could do!!
"You" Alberu pointed towards the person known as the roan kingdoms current prime minister.
"You're fired"
...
...
Alberu then walked behind Kim Rok Soo who was frozen and grabbed cale's hands.
"Look, Dongsaeng the prime minister position is open, let's go" He said and pulled cale away with him.
"HELP!" Cale tried escaping but his strength was feeble compared to alberu who easily dragged him along.
"He's gonna drag me to hell!"
"Oi! Weren't you calling yourself hyung help me! Traitor!" The commander yelled as people watched him get dragged away by scary crown prince.
'Your sacrifice will be remembered commander-nim'
[chapter 110: scary (3)]
{– I didn't expect for someone like you to appear!
Cale could hear the voice of the owner of the, 'Fire of Destruction.' The voice sounded like it was looking at a crazy person.
Claaaaaaang-
The silver coins continued to fly like snow.
'Ah, this is bliss.'}
"Ah!" cale yelped when his hand was pinched. The crown prince who had pinched him had cold eyes right now.
{It was even better since it was someone else's money. He would never get a chance like this again.}
"The audacity...You bastard!" Alberu yelled as he pinched cale again.
{"Yes, let's throw it all!"
Silver coins continued to fly as Cale grabbed handfuls and threw them toward the golden pig sculpture.
"T, this can't be! I don't know how to feel! I shouldn't feel this way! But this is so refreshing to watch!"
The 5-year-old Raon fell into a state of chaos. Cale didn't care as he watched the silver coins float up to create a path for him.}
"Poor raon-nim" Mary said.
"Poor youngest" The cats commented although On sighed as well seeing her guardian being reprimanded and pinched by the crown prince.
"Raon, don't ever waste money, ok?" Sheritt confirmed as raon nodded his head. "Smart dragon" She was pleased at least raon wouldn't grow up throwing away money.
Eruhaben didn't even want to comment.
{The, 'Fire of Destruction,' really couldn't be called lava or fire. It was more of a, 'liquid flame,' since the fire was in a liquid-like state.
< The, 'Fire of Destruction,' that appeared on the third peak of the Ten Finger Mountains did not go out until it destroyed the entire peak. Nobody could do anything about it until an Elf that had a Fire Elemental earned the ancient power. >}
"Pendrick..." Lock* said, he was out of it recently seeing his siblings alive, seeing his self smiling, acting- no actually being a kid and now being reminding of Pendrick, the one he couldn't save. 'I'll never forgive myself' He knew that, but seeing Pendrick being silly and being...Alive he wanted to forget.
{People did not earn this power the proper way in the novel. However, Cale knew the proper way to earn the power after reading about it in the novel.
< However, people did not think about throwing money into the lava. This flowing fire could not burn money. >}
"Dongsaeng why would someone ever think that they have to throw money into fire??" Alberu sounded calm but they could see the pink on there commanders face that alberu was pinching every time he lectured cale.
{Why, you ask?
– I haven't felt this feeling in a long time! Ah, the smell of money!
It was because the owner of the ancient power was crazy about money.}
- "Correction I'm still crazy about money Kahahahaha!"
- "Not the time!" Super rock said.
{– Keep on throwing the money! I haven't seen anybody other than my crazy friend waste silver coins like this! Muhahahaha!}
similarly the cheapskate was laughing in cale's head.
- "that was a great memory, right cale?"
{"Hahaha!"
Both Cale and the owner of the ancient power were laughing. Silver coins continued to fly into the lava as they laughed.}
"Fucking Crazy bastards..." Bud said. He shared a look with Taylor and cage, even glenn agreed to pull out the alcohol.
{Raon took his piggy bank out of his alternate dimension and held it close. He looked back and forth between Cale and his piggy bank with a serious expression.
"What are you looking at?"
Cale looked odd as he suddenly stopped laughing and stoically stood there.}
"I-Is he sane?" The white star seriously questioned. 'he was laughing his head off a second ago what happened???' Honestly it was a bit impressive but also damn scary.
{A path of silver coins was shining on top of the boiling lava. That silver light meshed well with the red-haired Cale.}
Alberu finally stopped pinching cale although cale was still awkwardly trapped in alberu's arms.
"The Legend looks truly holy like a Go-!" Clopeh was yelling however quietened down when Choi Han gave him a glare. That didn't stop him from admiring Cale-nim though.
Actually mostly everyone could agree that cale looked beautiful and extraordinary.. yeah like a god or higher being.
"your highness?" Cale quietly questioned hoping that his hyungs wrath had magically disappeared. He was now holding his face and arm that were pink and stinging.
"trust me, your not free yet you bastard"
Cale wished this would just end.
{"Weak human."
"What?"
"Let me know if you don't have enough! I am willing to give you my piggy bank!"}
"Aww! dragon-nim!" The elves were clutching their hearts. 'too kind and cute!'
"Raon-nim that's so nice of you" Rosalyn praised she was internally squealing.
{Cale snorted. Cale would never steal money from children. He didn't enjoy snot-filled money.}
Whack*
This time eruhaben whacked him for raon who was now sniffling.
"Human! How could you say that?"
"I-I was being super stupid, your money isn't snot filled, forgive me?" Cale looked at the sad dragon and opened his arms for an apology hug which the dragon happily took.
"Don't ever say that again human! That was mean!" Somehow that sounded like a threat to cale who nodded immediately.
{– Money! Let me smell more of the scent of money!
Furthermore, he had two hundred thousand of these silver coins, courtesy of the crown prince.}
"Y-You!! Haaaaaa!" Alberu's hold on cale tightened.
{"Here."
Cale looked like a very benevolent person right now.
< Most importantly, that Elf was not able to take control of the full, 'Fire of Destruction,' and considered it to be a useless power. However, the Elf would have regretted it later if he knew that he would have been able to get closer and closer to the full power of the, 'Fire of Destruction,' if he was willing to spend a lot of money. >}
"Haha Pendrick wouldn't have even guessed he needed to throw away money..." Lock* chuckled thinking of the sight.
"Still can't believe I got young master cale's ancient power in the other world" Pendrick really couldn't imagine that. It looked a bit funny.
{The warrior who was the former owner of the, 'Fire of Destruction,' was said to be very greedy for money. He didn't want power or fame, living in poverty during his childhood made him want money above all else.}
Hesitantly it was Jack who asked "I-Is that why Young Master Cale wants money above all else too?"
The room quietened. It was true they all knew by now cale didn't want fame or power and they could clearly see his love for money.
'Did he live a child hood like that too?'
Multiple gazes went to cale wondering.
Cale felt weird but before he had to answer a pair of hand that had been picking him earlier covered his eyes.
Cale couldn't see but the look on alberu's face made them all look away. However the question that went unanswered still resided in many minds.
"It doesn't matter.." A cold voice answered. It was Choi Han who had a complicated but sad and angered look in his eyes.
however Cale's allies understood, it was simple 'it didn't matter anymore' if cale didn't care, it meant he was ok now. After all they all knew their commander/family member was no push over.
The cheapskate in cale's mind was also quiet which was concerning the other ancient powers but they understood and remained silent.
{– I wanted to be able to throw money away like trash like this too! But those damn bastards stole it all! My money, as well as my friends' money! Those sons of bitches! You cruel bastards that treated us like slaves!}
- "We'll Destroy them all" The Glutton said
- "Those damn bitches can go suffer" The thief said.
Crazy kid was using very coarse language.
- "I saved some...It's okay, we're okay" Super rock quietly said.
The vitality of the heart reassured cheapskate as well.
- "Now I can destroy them all, we can throw away all the money in the world.." The cheapskate began feeling better at the thought.
"The ancient power nims have gone through a lot..."
{The golden pig started to swear profusely. Cale did not pay any attention to it as he started to walk toward the golden pig.}
Sheritt covered raons ears but was saddened by the fire of destructions story.
{"Haa, so annoying."
Cale was now taking out entire bags of money and just pouring it in front of him as he walked.}
"I want to cry..."Alberu said solemnly.
"No cookie prince don't cry! I'll cry too!!" Raon warned alberu.
{– Y, you wonderful human being!
The voice of the former owner was shaking.
Ooooooong- ooooooooong-
Cale started to smile. The golden pig sculpture was shining even brighter now.
Siiiiiizle-
A red vapor started to rise from the lava. Raon flew up higher in order to avoid the vapor. It was vapor that had fire inside of it.
Paaaaat.
The Indestructible Shield and its wings covered Cale's body.}
"Beautiful..." Basen thought while watching the scene, his brother looked very cool.
"orabeoni looks super cool right?" Lily giggled.
"He does, doesn't he" Violan had a small smile on her face. She wasn't too worried about the money, they were the henituse family.
{'This is no better than manual labor.'}
"Cough cough!" Bud was crying or pretending to cry, many people watched with straight faces.
"Compared to that man we're all poor" Witira said her tone was monotone for her.
{Cale was getting tired of this repetitive procedure. Even throwing money around got boring after a while.}
"I'll happily take some money off of you Young Master Cale him" Bud shameless said.
{Cale clicked his tongue and started to pour the money even faster. He was able to soon arrive in front of the golden pig sculpture in the middle of the lava pit, as the pit was not very wide.
"Mm."
The voice started to speak again once Cale was in front of the sculpture.
– I approve of you! You have the right attitude to gain this power! If it is you, if it is someone like you who is willing to throw money away like this, you will be able to overcome every obstacle in your way!}
"Right attitude??" Alberu asked annoyed, he couldn't deny how cale had overcome all of the obstacles in his path, heck his dongsaeng had obliterated the obstacles, maybe that's why he wasn't as mad as he thought he would be, the little crazy bastard was helping the roan kingdom and the price honestly wasn't too much for all that cale had done furthermore alberu cared for the annoying money crazy idiot he called his dongsaeng.
"Lucky bastard"
"Huh hyung nim?"
{The owner of the ancient power had approved of him and was telling Cale to grab the pig sculpture. However, the owner of the ancient power could only speak in disbelief after seeing Cale's next actions.
– Hmm?
Claaaaaang. Claaaaaang.
Cale took out even more silver coins.
"So many."
He was still far away from using all two hundred thousand silver coins.}
"I TAKE IT BACK! YOU INSANE PUNK!"
{– M, my goodness! I've never seen such a crazy person before! You must be an angel!
The owner of the ancient power could not hide his admiration. The pig sculpture started to vibrate even stronger the more the owner shouted with joy.}
- "cale? have I ever told you you're amazing?" cheapskate asked.
- "Your not getting more money" crybaby cut him off.
Cale was currently getting berated, that was too kind of a word by the the crown prince, Cale could imagine his ears bleeding.
"YOU bastard!! Crazy!! Crazy!! HaaaHAHA..HAHAHAHAHAH!" Alberu was going slightly crazy and cale who being held hostage could do absolutely nothing, he could just imagine the amount of paper work and public appearances alberu would give him when they got back. He just had to think of a way to not become prime minister, maybe he could bribe the previous prime minster to stay?
"Ow!"
His leg got pinched harshly.
{Ooooooooong.
The entire peak started to shake.
Siiiiiiizle. Siiiiiiiiiizle.
More of the red vapor started to rise into the air and headed toward the pig sculpture. Cale did not care about any of this, as he continued to pour out all two hundred thousand silver coins with indifference.}
Pen Rosalyns brother had never felt poor before. Before now that is. He was internally crying.
That goes for multiple people.
Even the citizens and other people were amazed someone could just throw away that amount of money. They didn't even want to imagine what if's like 'what if I had that much money'
Honestly the other people had given up and were cheering for cale. Can't beat-'em? join-'em.
Tboah people were shell shocked. some were crying while the others blanked out.
{– ......
The owner of the ancient power was now at a loss for words.}
- "Hahahaha!" So the super rock and crazy kid were laughing at the cheapskates expression.
the other ancient powers were trying to hold in there laughter.
- "I was young back then!!" the cheapskate complained.
{Cale straightened his back after finally pouring out all of the silver coins. He was sweating.}
"Um, at least he did some form of exercise?"
"shut up, we know you also want to throw away that amount of money, wake up buddy, that's never going to happen"
"the Young master does just impossible things like it's normal, if he does it doesn't mean you can"
"...You can try" Someone tried hopefully encouraging the person.
"It's just not the same"
"shut up.."
{"This is hard work."
Cale looked toward the shining pig sculpture as he said that. The red vapors were surrounding the golden pig sculpture.
– I approve of you. I debated it for a while, since I felt my friend's power on you.}
- "hey! you should've instantly said yes because I was with cale! I can't believe I complimented you..." the thief sulked.
{'Friend's power? Was he friends with the thief that was the owner of the Sound of the Wind?'
Cale felt like he learned something useless again. He then started to frown at the owner's next words.
– There really are no normal people who own ancient powers. Here you go! Take it! It is the power to destroy everything! Of course, the money is mine.}
"Fair deal" Toonka said.
"There are no normal people who use ancient powers" Glenn repeated the fire of destructions words like they were very wise, of course he knew his friend was one of these people.
Promptly he got a scowl and "hey!!" from bud, but then even bud agreed.
{"Oh."
The ancient power started to float toward Cale. The golden pig sculpture that was surrounded by red vapor was now in front of Cale's nose.
'He's cheaper than I expected.'}
"HAHAHAHA..." The maniacally laughing alberu suddenly stopped.
"Really cale?"
...
"answer me"
"N-No of course not your highness!" Cale subconsciously started being respectful.
"It doesn't seem like you actually think that Young Master Cale"Alberu gave the look of 'we'll talk later' to cale.
Cale just gulped and hoped 'later' wouldn't come.
{He didn't know that this would happen with only 2 billion gallons. Cale slowly reached his hand out toward the golden pig sculpture. He would have powers for defending, regenerating, escaping, and attacking once he got this power.}
"That's smart, as I expected" Kim Rok Soo said.
"It's a really good combo and it works for cale" Bud analysed.
"The poor regenerating power must be being over used" Taylor thought.
{At that moment, the owner started to speak again.
– It's interesting that you are in the land of boulders but do not have the corresponding ancient power.
'Boulder?'
Cale flinched.
– To be honest with you, money isn't the only thing that I couldn't destroy. There is a boulder that I could not destroy as well. I will share this information with you since you helped me resolve my resentment.}
- "so kind of you to inform cale I exist" Super rock said dryly.
"The Guardian!! Mom! That's the hero!! He uses boulders and protected everyone until the end!" Dodori ranted to Mila.
{It was a hint about another ancient power.
'...But I don't need it.'}
"You did need it you unlucky bastard" Eruhaben commented.
{Cale was fine with what he had already. He also had the Fire Suppressing Water and the Dominating Aura. There were probably no other human beings who had so many ancient powers.}
People glanced at the white star.
"What are you looking at? Of course I have as many ancient powers" The white star said.
{– The king of rocks, the Giant Cobblestone that is known as the, 'Super Rock,' is in the land of boulders.}
Dodori's eyes were sparkling seeing his idol on screen.
"Haha, when I said no one was as noble and no one would appear like the guardian, I was wrong, there's another like person like that guardian" Taylor laughed.
"Yep he's a very altruistic person, he's also a great commander" Bud agreed.
{Cale's expression did not seem to be good as he heard about the land of boulders, the Roan Kingdom.
Why did it have to be a Giant Cobblestone? Cale had a bad feeling about this. Cale did not respond to the ancient power who did not say anything else, and just touched the golden pig sculpture.
Siiizzle.
Cale's hand touched the vapor, but he did not get hurt.
Ooooooooo-
The tips of his fingers touched the pig sculpture. A mix of gold and red light rushed toward Cale.
– Use it to melt anything in your way. You will survive through the pain.}
- "That was a very bad warning, cale got hurt after he used it" Crybaby accused.
"Human!! Don't listen to the money crazy bastard!! Don't use it if you will get hurt!!" Raon looked hurt remembering the first time in the elf village cale had used the thunderbolt. He hated seeing how much cale bled every time. Every time how he brushed it off, raon had gotten hurt before and knew that cale probably hurt but didn't say anything. So he would just have to make sure his human didn't get hurt. 'Living is the best' Raon also chose to live by cale, if cale left him... raon didn't know what he would do. Would he actually destroy the world?
"Youngest...?" Hong looked at the silent raon and tilted his head.
A warm and most importantly alive hand patted him on the head.
"Don't think about useless stuff" His favourite human spoke. Everything cale said raon listened and took to heart. Somehow his human always knew what he needed.
"O-Ok human! When are you going to eat? You have to eat soon!" Raon reminded cale and grabbed a piece of apple pie to feed to cale.
"Human eat!"
"Ok ok, slowly, here you guys have some too"
{The voice of the ancient power's owner slowly disappeared. Cale lifted up his shirt to see that there was now a rose gold thunderbolt on the silver shield on his chest.
Cale was relieved.
'It's not a pig.'}
"It would've been cute though!" Lily thought.
"such a beautiful tattoo.." Alberu said munching on apple pie. Only one thought annoyed him a bit. His dongsaeng had revealed the tattoo too many times, which meant people saw his dongsaeng's body, it annoyed him.
{The pig sculpture earlier was cute, but he didn't want such a tattoo. Cal reached his hand out.}
lily gasped. "orabeoni agrees!" she turned to her brother.
"I have good taste!"
"You do" Basen nodded and smiled.
{"Ooh!"
Raon was amazed at what was happening.
Siiiiiiizle-
A loud sizzle noise appeared as the silver coins disappeared into silver vapor.
At the same time, the red lava sizzled and formed into an orb in front of Cale's hand. Cale clenched his hand into a fist, as if he was trying to grab the orb.}
"Cool..." people watched in a trance, it looked like such a picturesque seen no one wanted to interrupt the moment.
{Paaat.
The lava orb disappeared with a quiet noise. Only a wide pit was left on top of the third peak.
"Human, is that power from earlier yours now?"
"I guess so?"
"You are as strong as half of my pinky toe now! You are now a very extremely tiny amount stronger."}
"As strong as a great and might dragons pinky toe!" An elf gasped.
"This sir is truly strong" Adite said. The world tree's priestess she could only pray the young master had no thoughts of burning down the world tree-nim. Maybe she could give him more Gold?
{Cale smiled after receiving Raon's approval. A cool breeze swept past him. Now that the heat from the lava was gone, the top of this peak was returning to being cold.
At that moment, Raon approached him with his piggy bank still in his paws.
"But human."
"What?"
"I waited to tell you this because you seemed to be focusing."
Raon was smiling widely. Cale suddenly felt an ominous feeling. Why was Raon being like this?}
"Haaa, that's the unlucky bastard's smile, that's why you were uneasy, now do you get how others feel?" Eruhaben asked cale.
(I love that smile, I also love cale, raon, alberu and lee soo-hyuk ^^)
{Raon casually added on.
"The magic spearman is nearby."
'Hmm? Who?'}
The white star felt mildly offended but didn't care as he also sometimes forgot people in the organisation.
{Cale temporarily forgot who it was.}
"Hahaha, the human who can't forget, forgot that bastard haha" Bud laughed cale was weird, he could memorise the entire Mercenary's directory if given enough time but forgot trivial things.
"Record is a double edged sword" Freya quoted.
{"He just arrived recently. I can sense his location."
Ah.
Cale remembered the magic spearman of the secret organization. They had met at Hais Island 12. The magic spearman had been marked by Raon's mana arrow before he ran away with the blonde sword master.}
"and yeah he remembers..." Bud said confusing some people.
{'Why would he be here?'
Raon was stronger after becoming a year older, but he still had short stubby legs. One of those short legs pointed toward the spot between the seventh and eighth peaks.}
"pfft-" people were trying to not laugh so they wouldn't offend the dragon who already had a very offended look on his face.
"Cale your thoughts are dangerous" Kim Rok Soo commented laughing.
"H-Human!" The little dragon was currently embarrassed and hiding his face while hitting cale (softly of course).
Suddenly the screen turned off.
"Uhm? Was that it?" Someone asked.
"No it cut off" Cale said.
"Umm, yeah that was my fault, but the rest is history" Freya smirked.
"Anyway next is the scary giant cobblestone so take a rest!" Freya said disappearing.
...
"Yeah dongsaeng let's go, we have to have a 'chat' right?" Alberu smiled towards cale.
"ERUHABEN-NIM!! ANYONE HELP!!" Cale was once again being dragged off by alberu.
-----------------------
Yep that's it for this chapter, it's nearly 1 am... Heh. I was pretty determined to upload because I was annoyed this chapter was finished so late. Also I apologise if the chapter didn't feel as interesting or have enough 'impact' if you know what I mean, I wanted to make it slightly different because I'm still learning how to write emotions and other characters,
Anyway thank you so much for reading ^^
I'm sorry as I said before there are inconsistencies in this fanfic, but it is a fanfic :) so I'll just keep that in mind and do better in the future! I plan to make another fanfic for part 2 when I finish this one, but that's a long while away. Thank you for staying till the end :D I appreciate it.
Have a wonderful day, goodnight or just yeah!
