Things progressed smoothly so far so Cale was not scared. That was why Cale immediately traveled to the Forest of Darkness.

“Y, young master-nim, I will take the lead!”

Hilsman moved forward after seeing the entrance of the Forest of Darkness. However, he could see two people looking at him with blank expressions.

One was Cale while the other was Eruhaben.

However, another existence helped Hilsman relax a bit.

“Yes! Vice Captain, let’s go!”

It was Raon.

Raon stopped being invisible and urged Hilsman forward with a smile. Hilsman started to smile as well. However, Cale quickly interjected.

“Hilsman, have you ever been to the center of the Forest of Darkness?”

The Vice Captain had trained in the outer regions of the Forest of Darkness last winter with the ten Wolf children.

“I have followed Choi Han there once! Please trust me.”

“...Okay.”

Cale waved for Hilsman to hurry up and move. Hilsman nodded his head and started to walk.

Cale leisurely followed behind him and looked to the side. Eruhaben had been quiet since earlier.

“Is something wrong Eruhaben-nim?”

Eruhaben looked toward Cale and started to speak.

“You also have 10 Blue Wolf Tribe children?”

“Yes.”

Hans was currently staying in Harris Village with the ten Wolf children after having returned from the Ubarr territory. They all welcomed Cale’s unexpected visit.

The Gold Dragon started to mumble.

“...Six ancient powers, all sorts of Beast people, and even multiple strong humans. What an exhausting way to live.”

Cale was suddenly at a loss for words. Now that he thought about it, he was indeed living an exhausting life.

“Tsk. Tsk.”

Eruhaben shook his head and clicked his tongue. He observed Cale’s expression turning complicated as he started to think.

‘This punk has a difficult life if you think about it.’

Eruhaben had heard everything about the secret organization.

He wondered if a god had given this human punk all sorts of ancient powers to help him out since Cale seemed to get involved in all sorts of messes wherever he went.

The Gold Dragon felt a bit of pity for the human in front of him.

Of course, he did not know that it was not an act of god but Cale’s own decision to gather all of these things. The Beast people, the ancient powers, and the human experts, Cale had done all of it himself.

There was no way that the Gold Dragon would know about that.

Eruhaben, who was currently having the wrong idea about Cale’s life, could hear Raon starting to speak.

“But it is fine because the weak human has me! He has the great and mighty Raon Miru!”

Raon seemed extremely pleased with himself.

The Gold Dragon ignored Raon and started to speak to Cale, who still seemed to be deep in thought.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

“You’re working so hard.”

Cale nodded his head.

“...Seems that way. I need to quickly finish everything.”

He needed to finish everything so that he could play. So that he could roll around on his bed and sleep all he wants.

Cale’s desire for the slacker life started to get bigger and bigger.

The Ancient Dragon who had lived close to 1,000 years casually remarked after seeing the human thinking about his fate.

“You can tell me about what is bothering you.”

“...Really?”

Cale’s pupils turned hazy for a moment before returning to normal.

Eruhaben clicked his tongue and nodded his head.

“Tsk tsk, yes.”

Cale started to think that Eruhaben would help him out at least once.

Cale started to smile. The Gold Dragon felt better, thinking that the human was happy about what he had just said.

However, one person in the group was feeling something else.

“...Young master-nim.”

“What is it?”

“...The monsters are weird.”

The monsters at the edge of the forest were acting weird.

Kiiiiiii- Huff, kiiiiiiiii-

A goblin who could not even breathe properly ran away toward the grass.

Boom. Boom. Boom!

A group of monsters that looked like rats were all banging their heads on the ground while shaking.

Hilsman, who was watching the monsters with confusion, accepted what was going on once Cale pointed to someone in their party.

“We have an adult Dragon with us.”

“Ah.”

It made sense.

Eruhaben looked toward Raon and started to speak.

“Little kid, do you now know of my greatness?”

“...No!”

Raon turned his head away and flew over to Cale.

An Adult Dragon has an overpowering aura even without using Dragon Fear. Monsters that relied on their instincts would show the swiftest reaction to that aura.

- Human, I will soon go through my first growth phase! So I am better!

‘Whatever you say.’

Cale ignored the whining voice in his head and started to speak to Hilsman, who was standing there with a blank expression.

“Keep going.”

Eruhaben asked Cale a question.

“Cale Henituse, will you find the location of the ancient power once you get to the center of the Forest of Darkness?”

“Yes sir. I believe I will need to use one of my ancient powers to locate the Super Rock.”

Cale thought that he would need to use the Fire of Destruction in order to find the house of the Guardian, the location of the Super Rock.

“Human! You’re going to use that thunderbolt again?! You’re going to get hurt!”

However, Cale could not hear Raon’s comments.

Boom. Boom.

His heart had been beating wildly ever since they entered the inner region.

Cale lowered his head to look at the ground.

Something, an unknown aura, was rising up from the ground. That aura made the fire in his hand appear.

Boom. Boom.

It also made the Vitality of the Heart run wild.

“...Huh?”

Cale sounded confused.

Swiiiiiiiish-

Wind started to gather down at his feet. The Sound of the Wind was creating a small whirlwind by his feet.

And finally.

Paaat.

A small shield appeared on his left hand.

It was the Indestructible Shield.

‘...This is weird. This is very weird.’

Cale recalled something he had read in the ancient book.

< Right before going to save the world from darkness, he left all of his belongings, as well as the belongings of his friends, in his hometown. >

The other three got closer to Cale. Eruhaben was looking at Cale like he was looking at an interesting creature, while Raon shouted with anxiety.

“Human, what is going on? What’s wrong? Did your ancient powers break?”

Cale slowly started to speak.

“...I’m getting a feel for where it is.”

It was an Eureka moment!

Cale quickly started to walk. He looked toward Eruhaben and started to speak.

“Let’s go.”

“I will take the lead.”

Eruhaben, who had been observing Cale with an interested expression, started to walk in front of Cale. Eruhaben had already told the monster to get lost.

“Follow me.”

Cale nodded his head at Eruhaben’s command and headed toward the center of the Forest of Darkness.

Eruhaben was moving quickly while Cale was using the Sound of the Wind to keep up.

Raon used haste magic on Hilsman so that Hilsman could keep up with them.

Cale was telling Eruhaben where to go.

“Let’s turn to the left.”

Boom. Boom.

The ancient powers in his body, as well as the ground under his feet, were telling him where to go. It was impossible to explain this with words.

“To the Northwest.”

“Now to the Northeast.”

Cale finally stopped after a while.

They were near the Northern boundary of the inner region.

Cale could see a boulder at this location.

It was just a large boulder that was about three times as tall as Cale.

It looked just like your average boulder that could be found anywhere in the Henituse territory.

“Is it here?”

Eruhaben looked toward Cale and asked. However, he did not need to hear Cale’s answer.

“I guess it is.”

Cale was smiling.

‘They’re running wild.’

The four ancient powers inside Cale’s body were running wild.

‘...Seriously?’

Were the Super Rock’s friends really the owners of the ancient powers he had gained until now?

Cale slowly started to smile again.

It was at that moment.

Crackle-

The fire that was floating on top of Cale’s right palm started to fly toward the boulder.

The boulder and the fire made contact with each other.

Ruuuuumble.

The boulder started to shake as soon as the two made contact.

Cale could feel the rumbling underneath his feet.

The boulder started to crack on its own.

At that moment, a foreign voice started to speak in Cale’s mind. It was a profound voice that seemed to belong to a righteous person.

‘I came to the right spot.’

Cale was feeling extremely giddy.

- My friend of fire, you have finally arrived. My eternal enemy and friend, I- mm?

The profound voice became nervous.

- Huh?

The voice seemed extremely confused as well.

- ...What is going on?

The profound voice, the owner of the ‘Scary Giant Cobblestone,’ started to speak in a nervous voice.

- Why is the cheapskate with the thief, the crybaby, and even the glutton-

The cheapskate was the Fire of Destruction.

The thief was the Sound of the Wind.

The crybaby was the Vitality of the Heart.

The glutton must be the Indestructible Shield.

- Who are you?

Cale started to speak.

“My name is Cale Henituse.”

Eureka!

1. The Valley of Despair seems to have become the Lake of Despair...maybe they are different. We will have to see.

2. The Korean phrase that is used literally means something along the lines of, ‘I found a ginseng!’ but I thought Eureka! Would be a fitting equivalent.
