Rasheel munched on the walnut pie as he thought to himself. He then imdiately shared that thought out loud.
“Ugh! I can only taste blood.”
He had coughed up so much blood that the inside of his mouth was full of it. Even eating the walnut pie made it impossible to taste the walnut at all.
Plop.
The walnut pie in Raon's front paw fell to the ground.
“!”
Rasheel's pupils started shaking in response.
‘W, why is he acting like this?’
He was wondering why Raon was acting like this. Rasheel suddenly felt an unexplainable feeling.
It was neither fear nor anxiety. It was an indescribable feeling that made him feel leery and uncomfortable.
‘…Is it because I only knocked that Dragon bastard unconscious instead of killing him?
Is that what's making feel like this all of a sudden?’
Rasheel was trying to figure out the cause of this feeling when he heard Raon shout.
“Rasheel! Don’t die! You are extrely rude but I know you are good at heart!”
Rasheel's expression turned odd.
"What the fuck are you saying, you damn brat?! Why would I die?! I'm not dying! And why am I good at heart? I am not good!”
Archie, who was dragging the unconscious Kendall, sighed.
“…He’s annoyed at being called good and not being called extrely rude? What an odd Dragon.”
Of course, nobody paid any attention to Archie’s mumbling.
Raon flinched after hearing Rasheel shout. He then slowly peeked at Rasheel before nodding his head.
“It’s fine as long as you are not dying!”
He then picked the walnut pie up from the snow and placed it in Rasheel’s hand.
“Eat a lot! That’s how you get better faster!”
Rasheel wondered why this brat was acting like this but still chose to eat the walnut pie.
“… Delicious.”
“Hehe.”
Raon smiled brightly. It made Rasheel angry again that he subconsciously shouted.
“Don’t laugh, you damn brat! Also, I'm not good!”
“Hehe.”
Raon simply let Rasheel’s comnts in one ear and out the other. Rasheel stared at Raon but decided that he couldn't get through Raon’s thick head and turned away.
‘Yeah, what can I really say to a seven year old brat?”
“Hey. I am not good.”
Instead, Rasheel spoke seriously to Cale, as if warning him.
Cale just nodded his head.
“Yes, yes, Rasheel-nim. But you are amazing enough to easily capture an enemy Dragon like this. I truly feel relieved that you are here, Rasheel-nim.”
“Ahem. Hem!”
Rasheel let out so fake coughs.
“Hmph.”
He then snorted before comnting.
“I'm heading ho first.”
He then staggered.
“Ugh!”
Rasheel instantly noticed his body leaning to one side and scowled.
‘Shit!’
His right leg, the one with the large injury, went numb for a second, making him unable to step properly.
Honestly speaking, he was pretty aware of his current condition.
He still could not taste the walnut pie at all. That was how tired his body was and the severity of his injuries were quite severe.
‘Fuck! That is why I was trying to go back quickly!’
He did not want the young Dragon or Cale to see him like this.
‘It’s damn embarrassing!’
It embarrassed him.
Rasheel tried to put so strength into his leg again so that he would not let them see him fall to the side.
Pat.
However, his body ran into soone's hand and managed to not fall over.
"Are you okay sir?”
Clopeh Sekka looked at Rasheel with a gentle smile on his face.
Rasheel’s face instantly turned unsettled.
For so odd reason, this crazy bastard was making him feel uneasy.
‘Is it because he’s completely crazy?’
Rasheel brushed Clopeh's hand away and resud walking.
"Damn it. Why the hell was a rock there?!”
Nobody reacted to Rasheel's comnt despite seeing that the snowy ground was white and flat.
“I'm leaving.”
Ooooooooong.
There was a small amount of Dragon Fear as a teleportation magic circle appeared around Rasheel.
“One mont please.”
Rasheel flinched after hearing Cale's voice. He had turned his back toward Cale and had been unable to look at him since earlier. He was embarrassed to show his unsightly self.
“Archie. Go with him.”
"Well, sure.”
Rasheel frowned as he watched Archie step onto the teleportation magic circle. He looked at Archie with a gaze that seed to be asking why Archie was getting onto it. Archie just shrugged his shoulders. Archie then addressed Cale.
"Should I leave this Dragon with Sheritt-nim?”
“Yeah. Please inform Sheritt-nim that I will wake him up to chat as soon as I get back.”
“Yes sir.”
Archie calmly answered before looking at Rasheel.
“Aren’t you going?”
Rasheel frowned even more.
He then sighed.
HE didn’t even have the strength to chat with this damn rude Whale.
Fatigue was coming in like the tide now that the battle was over.
‘…Tsk.’
He had a bitter taste in his mouth.
‘This is quite difficult.’
Based on his intuition, it felt as if the Dragon he pumled today was on the weaker side of the enemy Dragons.
That ant that the Dragons they would et from here on would be stronger.
‘It will not be easy.’
The battle against the enemy Dragon today was between ‘Victory’ and ‘Indomitability.’ It was a matter of which attribute was sturdier.
Furthermore, this Dragon was inexperienced as well.
However, if it was a properly grown Dragon with an attribute that caused no compatibility issues, and that Dragon had consud the ‘Holy Water’…
‘Ha.’
Rasheel felt frustrated.
He thought that winning in Aipotu, this motherfucking world, would be harder than he had expected.
Rasheel's mind was in a complicated ss but the teleportation magic circle was quickly activated.
He wanted to return so that he had ti to think.
Paaaat-
Rasheel flinched the mont the magic circle activated.
He heard Cale's voice behind him.
“You were cool, Rasheel-nim. But please look after your body.”
Rasheel chuckled after hearing Cale’s usual nonchalant voice. He heard an extrely awkward voice as well.
“Guess you were a bit cool?”
He turned to see Archie avoiding his gaze.
Rasheel chuckled again before comnting.
“Of course. Who do you think I am?”
He was the Indomitable Dragon.
Rasheel proclaid to the others.
“I will continue to be cool.”
Archie scowled but the teleportation magic circle activated without caring.
Paat!
Archie, Rasheel, and Kendall all disappeared.
Cale looked at the empty area before asking Clopeh.
"What about the Beast people?”
“They are downstairs, Cale-nim.”
“Have you seen Miss Witira?”
“I'm not sure, Cale-nim. I have not seen her before coming here.”
Cale felt that sothing was weird as he chatted with Clopeh. That was why he subconsciously turned to look at Clopeh.
Clopeh was looking at Cale with a calm expression on his face.
"What is it, Cale-nim?”
“…No. It’s nothing.”
‘This is weird.’
Cale completely understood why he was feeling this way.
‘Why is Clopeh Sekka not praising ?’
The bastard who would complint or praise him endlessly was quiet.
Furthermore, the bastard who could never hide the fact that he wanted to be by Cale’s side no matter what was extrely calm right now.
‘What is going on?’
He felt an unexplainable leeriness.
‘I feel like this bastard is going to cause an issue like this?’
As Cale had that thought…
“Hoohoo.”
Clopeh quietly laughed.
– Human, Clopeh is laughing weirdly!
Raon did not dare to say that to Clopeh's face, so he used magic for the first ti in a long while to deliver that ssage into Cale's mind.
As for Cale-
‘Ah, that's a relief.’
He felt a mysterious sense of relief.
His face relaxed. Clopeh quietly whispered at that mont.
“I have finally found the path.”
“Huh?”
“Hoohoo.”
Cale looked at him in confusion but Clopeh just mysteriously laughed before starting to move.
He made one last comnt before he left.
“The shadows are clearer the stronger the light. However, a light that hides within a brighter light is not seen by anyone.”
Clopeh thought that Choi Han was Cale’s shadow.
As for the hidden light…
‘It’s .’
Nobody other than himself was fitting for that position.
Clopeh started walking toward where the Beast people were hiding.
“Human, what did Clopeh just say?”
“I don’t know.”
Cale and Raon just decided not to understand and followed behind Clopeh. However, Cale was relieved to see that Clopeh seed like his usual self.
He then thought about sothing as they headed toward the Beast people and Lock.
‘If Rasheel ended up in that condition, I need to be a bit more vigilant.’
According to the info on the 10 Dragon gods from the Haru Kingdom, Kendall had the last seat. If Rasheel could not avoid getting in such a terrible condition from fighting against one of them, fighting the other Dragons would be even harder.
‘I need to think of sothing.’
However, Cale's face did not seem very dark.
‘Use the opening we have while the Dragon Lord is gone.’
The Purple Bloods. They just needed to land a critical blow on the enemies while their leader was gone.
Cale organized his thoughts as he arrived at the location where the Beast people were hiding.
“Young master-nim!”
“Are you here to help Rasheel-nim, young master-nim?”
Lock and Gashan welcod him.
Witira waved at him as well.
“I was here because I didn't think there was a need for to get involved.”
After Clopeh left for the mountain peak, Witira discovered the Beast people and stayed with them.
“…….”
However, Cale's face stiffened.
He looked inside the small cave the Beast people had been hiding inside. He then turned his gaze.
‘Perhaps……?’
The one he looked at was the hunter, Koukan.
Koukan gulped and opened his mouth.
“I'm sorry, young master-nim!”
He then instantly bowed to apologize.
Lock approached Cale while Cale was watching Koukan and cautiously asked.
“What about Rasheel-nim?”
“He won.”
Koukan flinched before raising his head.
“Umm, Kendall-”
Cale calmly spoke as Koukan was unable to finish his sentence.
"We have captured Kendall and sent him to the castle. I'm sure he will be sent into a cell.”
“Ho.”
An old Wolf gasped from the back. It was the sa for the other Wolves. They were intimidated but still did not hide their shock.
Cale didn't care and looked at Koukan before pointing in a direction.
“…Is that who I am thinking?”
The direction Cale was pointing at…
“Grrrrrrr-”
An animal's growl ca from that direction.
“…Yes, young master-nim, you are correct.”
Koukan weakly answered.
Cale looked toward the direction of the growl.
Clank, clank!
He heard the clanking noises of chains.
“Grrrrrr! Grrrrrrr-”
The intense growling of an animal continued.
Cale heard Gashan’s voice.
“That is the Wolf tribe leader, young master-nim.”
‘Wow.’
Cale barely held himself back from saying that.
Clank, clank!
“Grrrrrr-”
Inside the cave…
There was a figure that was as big as Lock when he went berserk.
This figure's finger and toenails were extrely sharp as well. Of course, those were all tied down.
Clang! Clang!
The thick chains looked as if they would break at any mont.
The Wolf tribe leader… This figure looked quite strong, befitting the position of tribe leader.
“Grrrrrr-!”
However, the figure looked extrely different from Lock.
Her whole body was covered in murky ash-colored fur, and…
“No consciousness.”
The way she was drooling and revealing her sharp fangs while clearly hostile toward everyone made it look as if she had no rationality at all.
“She definitely looks as violent as described.”
If Beast people went berserk and acted violently without any sense of rationality like this tribe leader, it made sense for regular people to get scared.
She looked extrely threatening.
“What happened?”
Gashan sighed and answered Cale’s question.
"She was already in this state when we arrived at the Wolf Village, young master-nim.”
An old Wolf who had been cautiously looking at Cale stepped forward.
"The tribe leader-nim wanted to protect our tribe no matter what and forced her berserk transformation. That’s how she ended up becoming so large-”
The tribe leader. They thought that her berserk transformation was going to succeed.
With the subjugation squad coming for them…her greatest desire, the Wolf tribe’s deepest wishes… They thought it was coming true.
However-
"She suddenly lost rationality and beca violent. Koukan happened to arrive with Lock-nim and the others at that ti and we were able to suppress the tribe leader-nim thanks to them.”
It was difficult for the Wolves who could not properly go berserk to handle the tribe leader in her current state.
The old Wolf looked at Lock.
“It was thanks to Lock-nim.”
‘Hmm?’
Cale felt so was weird and was about to look at Lock when…
“Grrrrrr-!”
The growling beca intense and the Wolf tribe leader twisted her body.
She seed to be trying anything to get out of this frustrating situation.
Clang! Clang!
The thick chains looked as if they would break at any mont.
Craaaaaaack-
No, they were starting to break.
As Cale was shocked at her formidable strength…
“Lock-nim!”
The old Wolf called out to Lock and Cale watched as Lock walked toward the Wolf tribe leader.
Lock was quite tall even without going berserk, but he looked quite feeble compared to the berserk tribe leader.
Lock stood in front of the tribe leader, and…
“Shh.”
He brought his index finger up to his mouth.
“Good girl.”
He then petted the tribe leader's head.
“Lock, that’s dangerous!”
As Raon subconsciously shouted… Cale's eyes opened wide.
"Groan. Whimper.”
The tribe leader suddenly stopped resisting.
She then groaned and curled up her body.
It was obvious that she was scared of Lock.
Lock was being nice to her, but the tribe leader even seed scared of that as she curled up her large body and tried to make herself even smaller to avoid Lock's gaze.
“I knew it! As expected of the second coming of the Blue Wolf!”
The old Wolf’s voice of admiration reached Cale’s ears.
‘Blue Wolf.
Isn't that the existence that the Beast people here treat as a god?’
Lock awkwardly smiled toward Cale at that mont.
“Haha.”
"Whimper. Whimper.”
Behind him was an extrely scared Wolf tribe leader cautiously looking at Lock.
It was at that mont.
Shh.
Cale felt sothing cold before the small white snake that had been hiding in his clothes appeared.
The white snake tilted her head before speaking.
“Mom?”
To make it clear, it was not directed at Lock nor at Cale.
“…?”
She was looking at Witira, whose eyes were opened wide in shock.
“Human, I have no idea why this baby snake is like this! I guess it is her special trait!”
Raon huffed again.
The white snake continued to speak.
“You sll like mommy.”
She brought up the sll again.
Cale had thought that it was the sll of an imugi.
However, Witira was not an imugi.
‘She's a Whale.’
The baby snake continued to speak while Cale was confused.
“My mommy told . She said that the mystical creatures with the qualifications to take the place of the Dragons sll like this.”
‘Mystical creatures?’
Cale’s eyes clouded over while the white snake continued to speak.
“Mommy said that the destroyed world was trying to ostracize the Dragons from here.”
‘Hooo.’
Cale's gaze remained on the white snake after hearing so interesting information.
