However, the one responsible for all of it woke up after fainting and casually said, ‘it’s been a while.’ The crown prince subconsciously asked even though Clopeh and the others were in the room as well.
– What are you going to do after destroying it all?
Cale looked around.
Everybody was fine. That was the important part.
They were inside a small barracks.
Cale responded back.
“Live as a slacker, your highness.”
Silence filled the area.
Even Clopeh shook his head at Cale.
“You seem to be still half-asleep. I guess Cale-nim is still human as well. I suppose heroes are humans as well. Hahaha!”
Vice Captain Hilsman chimed in as if he had been passed the baton.
“He’s like that every so often.”
Cale ignored all of their gazes. Crown prince Alberu who knew about Cale’s long-desired hope was smiling with a, ‘too bad,’ type of expression, but he ignored that and started to speak.
i enjoy how nobody besides alberu actually believes cale wants to be a slacker
#mara reads#mann i forgot about the dream flashbacls to kim roksoo's life#like damn author really went ham on not revealing hardly anything until nearly 300 chapters in#tho there were bits and pieces before now#but a clear look at what his life was like b4 he transmigrated

Rereading TCF is making me have an appreciation for Vice Captain Hilsman because this dumbass of a man keeps getting developed in ways I am cackling. From a bitter and unfair (totally justifiable tho) to Choi Han, to a sword instructor for the wolf kids, somehow having awful sea sickness, total devotion that even tho he isn't monstrously strong like his other companions he keeps on training to protect Cale, his high social awareness (referencing how he managed to befriend Toonka's army in just one fricken night), and how hilarious he is.
HILSMAN MY MAN, AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T GET SWALLOWED UP BY THE NOVEL. AT LEAST YOU'RE STILL BEING USED BY THE AUTHOR AND NOT REFERENCED AND NEVER SEEN AGAIN IN FUTURE CHAPTERS orz orz
#shitposting#trash of the count's family#tcf#vice captain hilsman#this guy is hilarious rereading it#and he is the comic relief character with a heart of gold#i miss this dude when I recall the latest chapters#better savor his appearance before he gets swallowed up by the novel and never seen again

No one's talking about this LCF Chapter 233
Cale, waves a piece of paper: “…Choi Han, what is this estimate sheet for?”
Choi Han, fidgets & lowers his head: “……”
Cale, looks at Mary: “Why did three nobles suddenly fall ill?”
Mary: “I am not sure. They were curious about my powers, so I showed them a bit of it."
Mary: “But they suddenly said that I should throw young master Cale-nim away and join up with them. They said that we could then take you down and take power for ourselves.”
Alver, head down on the desk: "Heheheh.."
Cale, sighs: “One of the nobles’ sons threw a glove at you?”
Vice Captain Hilsman: “Yes sir! Young master-nim!’
Vice Captain Hilsman: “During the celebration, Marquis Ailan’s successor suddenly questioned whether Choi Han was really a sword master and threw a glove at him in order to issue a challenge.”
Cale: “And? I’m sure Choi Han would normally have ignored such a thing.”
Vice Captain Hilsman: “Of course! We remembered your orders and ignored him. However, that noble’s son then started to talk crap about the Henituse household.”
Cale: “…What did he say?”
Vice Captain Hilsman: “He said that, for being a martial arts household, the Henituse household is extremely weak. All they do is use money in order to have strong subordinates to protect them.”
Vice Captain Hilsman: “That was why Choi Han accepted the challenge! He ended up destroying the palace’s training ground in the process. But it is not his fault that that young master was so weak!”
Alver: PWAHAHAHAHA

Cale: I’m just saying it’s possible. I don’t know everything. I mean, despite the fact that you think I do.
Vice Captain Hilsman: I never said that. When have I ever said that?
Choi Han: This morning at breakfast.
Rosalyn: Yesterday when he beat you at cards.

// TCF CHAPTER 644 - 688 SPOILERS
what if the reason the disguised hilsman suspiciously smiled when saying that he wasnt apart of the thames household / his last name wasnt thames is because thames wasnt always the original name of the household or something??
(that would explain why he smiled even when saying that he isnt involved yet saying so much about cale’s mother.. i do not think he is lying or would lie so pointlessly, no him and ron are too alike in that, but enough to be twisting the question? absolutely.)
if not then we do know he is also somehow related to the thames household, judging from his hatred towards hunters and how closely hes talked about cale’s birth mother
cale also mentioned that he wasn’t white star, but also not someone he has met before, yet still friendly to him and deruth, as well as loyal people serving the henituse family (but not to violan, judging from the way he tried to grab her neck once he was discovered)
actually speaking of their conversation together, he talked about the henituse values from an outsiders perspective but was suprisingly knowledgeable about it, not only that but talked about the duchess position and not violan herself... does he have familiarity with it, or is he just knowledgable?
not only that but being able to take down a vice captain and capture him as well as notice when someone is watching him, he isnt hostile either and seems.. old? from violans perspective... and he was able to notice (or atleast know beforehand) that deruth was replaced with white star before cale and violan were... (either familiar with deruth enough to notice or familiar enough with white star to notice/know) (679)
he was smiling as he looked towards the diary too... does he know what it means? does he recognize it?
he is related to the thames, but he is not a hunter nor have the a power similar to annual rings of life (judging from the way he talked about cale’s mother with cale, he either doesnt know that cale is a transmigiator/regressor or simply does not care enough. however judging from the way he did not ask cale who he was in cale’s body like drew did in her diary, or expose who he was in front of on and hong, or say that his time is warped like some white thing, im going to assume it is the first option)
... or perhaps maybe hes the eldest orabuni that young drew thames mentioned during the trial for the annual rings of life
“– I have this weird feeling that I will like you even though we just met! You oddly look like that half-witted fool Deruth, but you also look similarly handsome as my eldest orabuni!” (664)
(and we all know how important the things that the ancient powers’ trials’s say go) (looking at you fire of destruction and shield)
that would explain why he mentioned that deruth might be able to recognize who he is and point him out, (why ever else might deruth know him if he is not either extended family or friends to his late wife? maybe relying on similarity as sibling?) (also what does he want to say to deruth? something so important that hes faked and disguised himself coincidently when white star was running around? (and more importantly was it related to thames and the research and information the household was doing, especially with white star as a reincarnator?)
not to mention why hes so familiar to cale’s late mother (clumsy like his mother, matching scary smiles mean something bad is about to happen (and mentioning these habits was when his mother was in her youth? clearly he was close to her)) (688)
maybe atleast a family member then perhaps? maybe a relative if not the older brother.. or maybe a bestfriend (unlikely. he judged that cale definitely had thames blood.)?
...but wait..
wasnt it said that drew was the last and only surviving decendent of the thames household, which is said to have perished once she married deruth and decided not to continue the household..?
if thats so.. where exactly did her elder brother go?
(when you say eldest do you think that maybe there could be more then one older brother? or is that a translation taken wrongly..?)
AND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
EXCUSE ME??? HELLO???
BECAUSE IM KINDA (NOT REALLY) TRYING TO READ THE LINES BETWEEN WHAT SHES SAYING HERE AND I DONT LIKE THIS
so shes saying that a group of people want to hunt the souls of people (and perferably of those that might be young and weak) and somehow couldve ended with something bad going on..?
and apparently the thames household has massacured or “used” all of these people to the point where its been “resolved” and hunters will no longer appear..?
and somehow, the red light (the light from the annual rings of life ancient power flowing into drew’s diary) is the same light of that dorph managed to identify of a person that taught him how to not only use the darkness element, but also hunt darkness elementals (667)
THE HELL DOES THIS IMPLY??
drew has the exact same “light” (the element of present and innate fate? time? or something more?) to the (presumed) hunter (THAT I THINK IS HONESTLY STILL ALIVE, MIND YOU) that hunted down darkness elementals who possessed a red light (but did not absorb it? ancient powers get absorbed right?)
she also commented that the annual rings of life (which allowed people to see the time around all living things (including people whos time is warped), as the annual rings of a tree) “needed to be apart of the Thames household to use this power properly” - (665)
while thankfully it means that white star wouldnt know how to use it either (judging from not being able to tell how time is warped besides that it is for cale and choi han), it also leaves some very interesting context for WHY THE HELL WOULD A HUNTER HAVE THIS POWER THEN??
LIKE?? IT WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR A THAMES TO HAVE IT BUT THE FALSE HILSMAN DIDNT SEEM TO HAVE IT EITHER
...so if the thames were so adament about fighting against hunters who used the souls of non-reincarnating / single lifers, why is the records and the research all full of how to destroy all of those with a “warped” time.. including those single lifers...
and depending on how detailed the information on the annual ring of life is on how to eliminate such beings.. wouldnt that mean that the thames has been studying that too alongside it..?
but when the other hunter got its “red light” while the fake hilsman didnt have make sense... unless.. the hunters were originally to have it and the thames “used” them or “resolved” or took it from them for their resea-
...im sure that that is not the case.. yeah.. that couldnt ever be the case..
this seems like seriously complicated stuff... i feel like there are chills on my back and im having lemon tea for some reason... and whatever happened made the thames going to a baron to a fallen noble... haha oh dear..
...at the very least, we can count on having his highness crown prince alberu to tell us what happens once he asks the king! yeah! im sure its nothing big to worry about and it would all be revealed in due time, theres no need to worry about that kind of stuff!
#trash of the count's family#lout of count’s family#tcf#disclaimer that this is literally all just speculation and i actually have no idea whats going on im just bsing whatever is on my mind rn#is there a spoiler type tag or whatever i could use for this? idk man its my first post here#i lowkey have no idea what im talking about but im going to pretend i do incase it all gets revealed later so i can laugh at myself#nevermind the freaking fact that raon’s present time element is a counter to fate because oh god thats totally foreshadowing to something#also im so sorry if half of the things i say looks like a clusterfrick of tumblr tags half the time#i cant wait for all of this to be revealed tho because clearly somethings going on here and i cant wait until it shows up in the future

Cale opened his mouth to speak at that moment.
“Fuck it all.”
Vice Captain Hilsman and crown prince Valentino who were looking at him looked completely shocked. However, Cale just continued to speak.
“Call them over.”
Cale’s hand wrote a name in the air.
Push. He then pushed Hilsman who was supporting him away.
“Young master-nim? Huh? Young master-nim! Why are you leaving?”
Hilsman tried to catch Cale in shock but Cale ignored him and nonchalantly started to walk.
He was walking toward Imperial Prince Adin. He slowly headed to the center of the battlefield where Adin was standing.
The battlefield was chaotic.
“Oh, commander. Why aren’t you resting?”
“Commander-nim, please get some rest.”
The nobles and the Empire’s forces all commented with concern as he headed toward the center of the battlefield.
However, Cale’s gaze was only focused on one spot.
It was focused on Imperial Prince Adin who was calmly standing at the center.
The relaxed Adin turned his head and made eye contact with Cale.
“Commander, what is it? Is your body o-”
It was the moment he started to speak.
Wind rose up at the tip of Cale’s feet.
It only took a split second.
His body shot forward like an arrow.
Cale reached his hand out.
He then grabbed Adin.
“Okay- ugh!”
The Imperial Prince gasped for breath.
Pale hands were choking his neck. Adin realized something at that moment.
‘He’s not in pain!’
There was a lot of strength in Cale’s pale hands contrary to how they looked. The Imperial Prince’s head was tilted back and he could see the reddish brown eyes looking down at him.
Cale, the owner of those eyes, smiled extremely brightly as he started to speak.
“Your back is so open.”
All of this only took a few seconds.
“Eek! Commander! “
“Your highness!
“What the hell?”
The Empire’s side turned into a mess.
However, Imperial Prince Adin looked toward Cale and started to smile.
“I, I knew, ugh, that I should be suspicious of you.”
There was a reason he had not let go of that one percent chance.
There was also a reason he was smiling.
‘Can you act so brazenly?’
Could the Roan Kingdom, could Cale Henituse act like this?
Adin could see that Cale Henituse was smiling even brighter than he was smiling.
Cale whispered in Adin’s ear.
“Hey, Adin.”
“Ugh.”
Cale’s joyful voice reached Adin’s ear as he let out a groan.
“I will definitely kill you myself.”
Adin flinched.
Cale’s eyes really seemed to be full of anger and desire to kill him.
Cale heard Raon’s voice in his mind at that moment.

“Hilsman.”
“Yes, young master.”
So all Cale did was what he needed to do as a member of the Henituse family.
“Tell them to give them proper graves in the future. This is too shabby.”
“…Yes sir!”
Cale patted Hilsman, who responded more energetically than usual, on the shoulder before looking toward the soldiers. The soldiers slowly moved back and Cale kept his hand on Hilsman’s shoulder and whispered.
“You know what to do?”
All sorts of emotions appeared on Hilsman’s face as he recalled what had happened two nights ago. They were camping out in the when Cale called him over to his tent.
‘I will be going into the Forest of Darkness.’
‘What? Why would someone in recovery go somewhere so dangerous? The perpetrators will not be in there. Do you have to do so much for Choi Han-.’
The small Black Dragon appeared while Hilsman was talking. He was extremely surprised when it had happened. But that was not the end.
Meeeeeow.
The kittens meowed before turning into people. They were Beast people. Furthermore, the Vice Captain felt chills for the first time in his life after seeing the woman pull out a long water whip and the man holding a sword with a whirlpool at its end.
‘Don’t worry.’
At the center of all of these strong monsters was Cale, who had a relaxed smile on his face. The fact that Cale seemed so normal around them made Hilsman even more shocked.

The hunter shouted as he was full of annoyance.
“Shut up. Don’t test a hunter’s patience and fuck off, alright? This is not some place for you to watch the flowers.”
“Then can I watch a fight here?”
‘What?’
The hunter saw the young man’s expression change in an instant.
It occurred the moment he felt that.
Shhhh-
As the leaves started to flutter…
“Ugh!”
“Ack!”
White bones shot out from beneath the soil and grabbed the hunters’ ankles.
More bones shot out in an instant and blocked the hunters’ mouths.
“Ack!”
“M, mmfh!”
Shhhh.
A person appeared on top of the large tree that the hunters were leaning against.
She was hanging upside down on a tree branch as she grinned at them.
Whoosh.
Four large wind arrows were knocked on a bow and pointing at the four hunters.
And the last person.
The man who had talked to Cale, the young man with the brown hair.
He was already knocked out.
Cale looked at the knocked out man and tapped the shoulder of the man with the same hair color as him.
“You really are fast.”
“It’s nothing, Cale-nim.”
Choi Han smiled gently.
The hunter that seemed to be the representative passed out after being struck once by Choi Han.
Cale approached the four hunters who were either lying or sitting down and crouched as he faced them.
He heard a GPS-like voice at that moment.
“There are a lot of corpses under this tree, so there were a lot of bones that could be used.”
Cale felt a surge of irritation at those words and proceeded to ask the hunters a question.
“You must have killed a lot of people to protect this place, right?”
Mary had controlled the bones that were under the tree as this place where the hunters were resting was the grave for the people they had killed.
“Mmfh!”
“Mm, m!”
Cale took his eyes off of the hunters who were trying to say something, and he stood up to give out an order.
“Knock them out and tie them up.”
Mary, Tasha, and Choi Han would take care of it.
Cale then looked to the other side and continued to speak.
“I leave it up to you, sir.”
He saw white gold dust covering the flower field.
The white gold dust scattered in all directions whenever Eruhaben flicked his hand.
“Huh? Oh!”
Billos’s eyes widened as he was handing the apple pies back to Raon.
It was melting away.
The landscape that was touched by the white gold light was melting away.
The illusion magic spells were melting down one by one.
The alarm did not go off.
“I’ll maintain the alarm.”
The enemies would think that the secret passage is still safe since the alarm won’t ring.
“They’ve installed it quite deeply too.”
Eruhaben looked at the sight of the flower field melting away.
One layer.
Two layers.
Three layers were removed.
Cale made eye contact with the gold Dragon the moment the three-layered scenery melted away.
“…It won’t be easy.”
The ancient Dragon spoke bluntly as he tried to determine the skill level of the Tower Master who could be a Lich.
However, he grinned and stepped back after seeing Cale smiling at him.
The white gold mana disappeared from the spot he stepped away from.
“…Ah.”
“Mmm.”
Tasha, Mary, and Choi Han gulped, but they couldn’t say anything as they saw the revealed landscape. Tasha was the first to open her mouth.
“There’s so much presence of death coming up.”
The flower field had disappeared while a large dark entrance appeared on the ground.
It was an entrance that led underground.
The entrance was pitch black.
“…I also smell something similar to the black despair.”
Tasha turned away from the dark underground that made her feel like she was facing something disgusting and looked toward Cale who was looking at Mary and Choi Han.
“I’m all right, Cale-nim.”
Choi Han replied as he grasped his scabbard and Mary followed up with her GPS-like voice.
“I am strong.”
Cale nodded his head.
“Then that’s fine.”
Cale looked around at the group once more.
Tasha, who would stay behind and watch the hunters and the entrance while waiting for the soon-to-arrive Vice Captain Hilsman, gave a slight bow and stepped back.
The Cat Knight Rex and the merchant Billos nodded at Cale’s gaze. They had come with the intention of following him.
– Of course I’m coming!
Cale looked at Eruhaben after hearing Raon’s response, and the ancient Dragon’s fingers started to move.

Litana’s expression turned odd as she stood in front of the tent.
She heard an unexpected sound coming from behind her.
Screech, screech.
Litana turned around after hearing something moving on wheels.
“Ah, you’re here, your majesty?”
The sword master Choi Han. He approached her while pushing a cart.
There was a lot of food on the cart.
It was similar to the smell of food coming from inside the tent.
“Shall we go in?”
Choi Han smiled brightly and guided Litana into the tent.
Litana slowly entered the tent.
“Oh, Miss Lina!”
Cale stuffed a large piece of beef into his mouth as he greeted her.
“…Young master Cale, are you okay?”
“Yes, I am perfectly fine.”
Cale answered back as he continued to stuff more food into his mouth.
He was somehow able to elegantly stuff his face. Choi Han, Vice Captain Hilsman, and Saint Jack were next to him for anything he may need.
– Ho ho ho, looks like I need to give him some food money.
Litana turned her head after hearing someone laugh.
“…Crown prince Alberu.”
– Long time no see.
Alberu had a look of disbelief through the video communication device. He looked toward Litana and continued to speak.
– I heard the news of your victory. Congratulations.
“Thank you. It is all thanks to your assistance.”
– Not at all. Allied nations should help each other. I want to inform our other allies about this great news, but I am unable to do so.
“…You haven’t let them know yet?”
Litana had delivered the news immediately to Alberu through a Dark Elf.
He was pretty much the central figure in their alliance, so she thought that he would inform the other leaders as well.
‘But he hasn’t let the others know?
Why?’
Alberu continued to speak as if he was answering her question.
– Commander Cale prevented me from doing so.
‘Commander Cale did what?
Wasn’t he the one who was most adamant about being victorious and saving the Jungle?
So why would he say remain quiet about the victory?’
Litana and Alberu’s gazes both headed toward Cale. He sort of wiped the sauce off the corner of his mouth and looked at the two of them.
“I’m currently unconscious and on the brink of death.”
– What?
“Excuse me?”
Cale rubbed his still hungry stomach as he continued to speak after seeing Alberu and Litana’s confusion.
“The airship exploded, and I tried to defend against the explosion with my shield, but I only managed to defend a part of it, destroying a portion of Section 7 of the Jungle in the process.”
Cale could see the corners of crown prince Alberu’s lips starting to curl up.
– And you overused your ancient powers so you are unconscious and at the brink of death? Nobody is certain whether you will make it or not?
“That is indeed the case.”
– Coughing up blood and shaking like that video last time?
“That sounds perfect.”
– Then Cale Henituse will not be able to come to the battlefield for a while.
The corners of Cale’s lips were slowly curling up as well before he had a serious expression on his face.
“We found a spy in the Jungle.”
He put on an apologetic expression toward Litana because he had to talk about something that was both painful and shameful to the Jungle. Litana nodded her head and motioned for him to continue.
Cale quickly added on.
“There is no way we can guarantee that there are no spies in the Roan Kingdom, Whipper Kingdom, or any of the other allied nations.”
He had not thought about a spy being in the Jungle because he had just relied on the information from, ‘The Birth of a Hero.’
Cale now knew that the novel was not the answer for everything. That was why he was moving according to the experiences he had as both Kim Rok Soo and Cale.
He was moving stealthily.
He was moving so that he could flatten his enemies.
The person most similar to him here immediately understood his words.
– So you are saying that we need to trick both our allies and our enemies?
Alberu quickly thought of a rumor to spread throughout the Western continent even without hearing Cale’s response.
– Cale Henituse is teetering between life and death. Is that good enough?
He then added on.
– But I will claim that rumor to be a lie and pretend to be ready to go to war against the Empire at any moment?
If there was a rumor that says Cale is hurt but the crown prince runs wild claiming that it wasn’t true…
– The Empire might really be tricked and think that you are hurt.
Cale looked toward Litana instead of responding to Alberu.
“…Section 7 was destroyed by the explosion and fire and Commander Cale received serious injuries in the process. That is the truth. Is that good enough?”
Cale smiled and nodded his head.
Litana really was a wily one as well. She had quickly determined what she needed to do.
“Don’t worry about information leaking out of the Jungle. We will put surveillance at the border with the Empire, the sky, and anywhere else that might need it.”
– I will trick our allies and the Western continent.
Alberu added on before asking Cale a question.
– Then what will you be doing?
Cale heard the young Dragon’s voice in his mind at that moment.
– Human! We have a call from the Empire!
There was only one place in the Empire that would be calling him.
The Empire’s capital. The small butterfly Cale planted at the capital.
– It is from the assassin who sculpted the rabbit that looks like the devil’s guard dog! It’s a message!
The assassin, Freesia. She was currently responsible for gathering information under Ron.
– It says, ‘young master-nim, when will you be coming to the Empire?’ It also says, ‘Sir Rex and Miss Hannah are waiting for you!’
The butterflies he planted in the Empire.
These butterflies will flutter their wings and cause typhoons.
Cale’s information network was currently pretending to be priests in the slums with Freesia leading the group.
The Cat Knight, Sir Rex, and the alcoholic alchemist Rei were there as well.
There was also the Caro Kingdom’s crown prince Valentino.
And finally, there was Hannah who did not know that she was a real Holy Maiden.
They were hidden inside the Imperial Prince and Arm’s pocket without their knowledge.
They would only be expecting enemies to come from the outside.
They would be expecting enemies from the Whipper Kingdom, Roan Kingdom, and the Jungle. They would only be wary of anybody coming into the capital.
However, the enemy was already within the capital.
The sharp nail that was stealthily mixed in with the other stuff in their pockets will stab them to death.
‘And I am the only one who can move that nail.’
He was the one connected with all of them.
Cale looked toward the rulers of the Jungle and the Roan Kingdom as he started to speak.
His role.
“I will go destroy the Alchemists’ Bell Tower.”
Litana closed her eyes as if she had been expecting this response. Cale continued to speak.
“Both black magic and dead mana are extremely dangerous in large battlefields. That is why I think that it will be most efficient to move with a small group and strike at the enemy’s core.”
Litana thought about the word sacrifice that was hidden underneath the word, ‘efficient.’
He was saying that he would be pretending to be hurt but was actually going to the most dangerous place.
‘…The crown prince has nothing to say either.’
Crown prince Alberu was silent as well.
Only Alberu Crossman had the power to approve or deny Commander Cale Henituse’s plan right now.
However, nobody was saying anything.
Litana opened her eyes and looked around. She could see the look in the eyes of the people behind Cale.

He could see a cold gaze in Cale’s eyes at that moment. He was giving off a vibe that was hard to approach as he stood there surrounded by fire and light.
‘Was I too emotional?’
It was the moment Choi Han had that thought on his mind.
“Calm down.”
Cale calmly responded back.
“Do you think I don’t know that?”
‘Ah, he’s his usual self.’
Choi Han noticed that Cale was his usual self even though he was giving off a different vibe.
That was why he was looking forward to what Cale would say next. Cale started to speak as soon as Hilsman landed on the white skeleton bird.
“I will now give out the orders.”
Cale’s voice would be heard on the white skeleton birds as well as on Maple Castle through the video communication device. Cale started to smile as he knew that would be the case.
– Human! What are you going to do? What do I have to do?
‘What am I going to do?’
There was just one thing Cale was planning on doing.
“A shit show.”
“Excuse me?”
“Cale-nim?”
– Young master Cale, what do you mean?
– Human! You’re going to create a shit show? I want to do it too!
Everyone responded differently. However, the majority of them were confused.
On the other hand, Cale was putting things in simple terms.
He would properly destroy everything.
Cale was someone who accomplished the things he planned on doing.
That was why he changed roles with his group for the first time.
Cale had always been at the back. He always left other people to launch the attack.
However, it was different this time.
Cale continued to speak.
“Support me.”
He would be at the center of this operation.
They should have all understood as they were all intelligent people.
– Young master Cale!
Rosalyn called out to him with concern while Choi Han’s mouth opened and closed multiple times as he didn’t know what to say. Cale patted the pale Choi Han’s shoulder and calmly continued to speak.
“This is something I have to do.”
Choi Han was almost bewitched by the black despair. That meant that he needed to keep Choi Han out of the battle.
It would be great if Mary could help, however, she would only have a low impact.
He needed something that would make a great impact.
Fire that burns evil.
All of the Empire’s citizens as well as the Whipper Kingdom’s citizens needed to see it.
This could end up becoming a continental war in the end after all.
“Cale-nim-”
The group looked toward him. Cale started to speak as Saint Jack looked at him with his hands together to pray.
“Everybody dodge.”
“Excuse me?”
Cale calmly added on when Vice Captain Hilsman blankly asked back.
“I don’t think I can control myself today.”
“…Excuse me?”
Cale kicked off the ground while everybody stood there in confusion.
“Raon!”
– Sigh, alright, human!
The human surrounded in rose gold light started to freely fly in the sky. It was thanks to Raon’s magic.
Cale could see the white skeleton birds flying as he did that.
They were not flying toward the golems.
“Smart bastard.”
Cale started to smile while thinking about Clopeh.
He slowly headed down.
Tens of spells were flying over his head.
“As I expected.”
Rosalyn was smart as well.
The spells that she had the Whipper Kingdom’s mages launch were moving in the same direction as the white skeleton birds.
Baaaaang! Baaaaang! Bang!
The hundreds of spells from the Empire headed toward the white skeleton birds and the Whipper Kingdom’s spells.
It was only possible thanks to that.
Cale could peacefully get face to face with the golems.
He looked toward Maple Castle. He could see an angry Rosalyn as well as Mary, Toonka, and Harol next to her.
They were supporting him as he had ordered.
They were making it so that Cale could take on the golems alone.
Cale commented as if he was sighing.
“I told you to support me.”
“Guarding you is my way of supporting you, Cale-nim.”
– He’s right! I will support you like that too! Weak human, I can’t help it because I am worried!
Choi Han and Raon were in the air with Cale.
Cale sighed and looked down.
“He, hehe-”
He then started to laugh.
Those large golems were looking up at him.
No, they were aiming for him. He could see the pilots as well. They were the ones who made these golems.
Cale slowly opened his arms.
– Can you hear it?
The Fire of Destruction asked.
“I can.”
Cale could hear it as the golems got closer. It sounded like the cries of a large number of people. They were stuck inside the large golems’ bodies and unable to leave.
There were the cries of Sir Rex’s siblings, the children from the slums, and even the Roan Kingdom’s citizens who were sold as slaves. They were all here.
The Fire of Destruction continued on.
– I had to hear my parents’ cry like this in the past. My parents were captured inside the golems as well.
My parents had given their everything for me.
The Fire of Destruction had received so many things from his parents. He had to pay back as much as he had received.
That was the reason he had gone crazy, as well as the reason he needed to save the Western continent. He needed to become someone his parents could be proud of.
– I am someone who needs to burn up and disappear.
The fire continued to speak.
– But I will not burn alone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Cale slowly felt his heart beating faster as he closed his eyes.
The last thing he saw were the concerned expressions on the faces of his friends before his eyes fully closed.
He could only see darkness.
The voice of the fire appeared in his mind again.
– The things that need to burn with me are in front of me!
– Use me!
Cale decided to run wild for today.
He didn’t know the limits of the Fire of Destruction just yet.
But why would a trash need to think about something like that?
‘I just do whatever I feel like doing.’
Sometimes, doing what your heart told you to do was the right answer.
Ruuuumble.
The sky started to cry.

“You don’t feel well?”
“Yes.”
Toonka started to frown at Cale’s nonchalant answer. The surroundings were very loud. The citizens were enjoying the celebration to welcome a new warrior.
Toonka knew of their current financial situation, but this was more important to him. He needed to use the warrior name to draw people to them. That was why the chiefs had agreed to this dinner celebration.
“…You weakling.”
Toonka seemed to be disgusted, but it was hidden through his swollen face. Cale just pointed to Choi Han.
“The main character for the celebration is still available, so it shouldn’t be a problem. I need to rest because I am a weakling.”
Although Choi Han did not seem to like it, Cale lightly pushed him toward Toonka and crew. Naturally, Hilsman was with Choi Han as well.
“Hahaha! I can feel the will of the Whipper Kingdom’s warriors! A celebration! This is great!”
The Vice Captain really was good at socializing.
“Then goodbye.”

Alberu laughing in the background while Cale has a parent and child meeting with Choi Han and Mary because of the actions they did is such a mood. Cale is the Dad-Who-Tries-His-Best-Even-When-He-Is-Emotionally-Stunted.
