Cale’s eyes headed toward Choi Han’s bloody hand that was grabbing the Illusionist’s arm. He heard Choi Han’s voice at that moment.
“I will take care of it.”
Cale looked at Choi Han once before turning around. He then quickly started to walk toward the terrace.
“...Did you just say you will take care of me?”
He heard the Illusionist’s voice before hearing a louder noise.
Baaaaang!
It was the sound of the red dome being destroyed, and then...
Boom!
Cale looked toward the wall with the terrace window. There were large cracks on the wall.
“Ugh!”
The Illusionist had been slammed into the wall.
“...Vicious punk.”
He was certain Choi Han had thrown her. However, Cale did not turn around to check on Choi Han.
Tap.
His foot stepped on the terrace railing.
Wiiiiiiiiing, Wiiiiiiing.
The alarm continued to echo throughout the castle and Cale heard something cutting through the wind behind him.
“You think I’ll let you go so easily?!”
He heard Bear King Sayeru’s shout. That made Cale realize that the things cutting through the wind behind him were Sayeru’s light arrows.
‘What do you want me to do about it?’
Cale did not stop. There was no need to stop.
Baaaaang!
The light arrows exploded after crashing into a violently shining black aura. Sayeru turned toward the owner of the black aura who had destroyed the light arrows.
Drip, drip.
Blood dripped from the person's hand to the ground. Choi Han, the person with the bleeding hands, observed Sayeru with a stoic gaze.
“We should finish our battle from last time.”
Choi Han had fought against Sayeru at the Mogoru's Northern Alchemists’ Tower. Sayeru's hands became covered in light as he recalled that moment.
It was so that he could fight at any moment.
However, his opponent had no thoughts about fighting him.
“But there's something I need to take care of first.”
Choi Han quickly started to move after saying that.
“Shit!”
Sayeru quickly started to move, but Choi Han was faster than him. His black aura headed toward the Illusionist who was surrounded by red smoke and was signing with her hands.
“Ugh!”
The Illusionist stopped signing and rolled on the ground.
Baaaaang!
The black aura stabbed into where she had been standing and destroyed the area.
The Illusionist's eyes opened wide after looking at that spot for a moment.
‘Where is he? Where is Choi Han-’
She could not see the Choi Han.
“Ugh!”
She then felt someone grabbing her neck from behind. The fishy scent of blood filled her nose as well. She heard a stoic voice coming from behind her.
“I found it.”
Choi Han grabbed the Illusionist's arm. He had told Cale that he would take care of it. He needed to take care of this situation.
That meant that stopping this Illusionist came first.
His eyes saw a chain bracelet. It was a gold bracelet. Choi Han started to smile.
He had seen it correctly when he had grabbed her arm earlier.
“No!”
Sayeru’s light spear shot toward Choi Han. The Illusionist twisted her body away from Choi Han and used her other hand to aim for Choi Han’s vitals.
She was moving like a well-trained martial artist.
“Did you think I only knew how to create illusions?”
“That’s none of my business.”
The hand that had been grabbing the Illusionist's neck grabbed something else. Blood splattered over the gold chain bracelet.
Crack!
Choi Han’s hand cracked the gold chain bracelet.
“Ugh!”
‘He wants to talk now? He wants to talk when there are rivers of fire trying to destroy the Dubori territory from the north, south, east, and west?’
Cale didn't have the time nor luxury to do that. Raon and Eruhaben had not destroyed the mana disturbance tools yet. He needed to face the White Star alone.
However, Cale had no choice but to listen to the White Star’s words.
“Did you know about this? There was one power that the ancient White Star had that I was trying not to take.”
‘What? The bastard who wanted to be the ancient White Star didn't want one of his powers?’
Cale turned toward the White Star who smiled after understanding the question inside Cale's gaze.
“It was the water ancient power. You’ve seen my water ancient power, right?”
He had seen it.
The White Star’s water attribute ancient power was like a wall that was mainly used as a shield.
“To be honest with you, I do not need any defensive powers. I needed a weapon that could attack.”
The fire sword pointed toward Cale.
A spear made of water. The Sky Eating Water that was still cursing in Cale's mind.
“That was why I headed to the lake where the Water of Judgment was supposed to be.”
Cale’s hand that was holding the spear flinched.
- Wait, the Water of Judgment is me.
As the Sky Eating Water mentioned, the ‘Water of Judgment’ was the name that a god had given to the Sky Eating Water.
“That power was said to be quite strong. It was said to be a strong spear that was loved by a god and could judge anything.”
Cale could see the greed inside the White Star's eyes.
“That spear is the Water of Judgment, isn’t it? You took what was supposed to be mine. But now you're also trying to take my earth attribute ancient power?”
That greed slowly turned into anger. The White Star had never shown such anger toward Cale before.
The White Star continued to speak to Cale.
“Come at me.”
Cale bit down on his lips and grabbed the spear with both hands. The water spear slowly extended and the water at the tip of the spear started to violently twirl.
Swoooooosh-
Wind surrounded Cale’s body even more.
The White Star continued to smile as if he knew what Cale was thinking.
“Your posture when holding the spear is terrible. You should probably learn some martial arts.”
Strong fire rose from the White Star who got into position as well.
“You think water should be able to defeat fire, right? But my fire is a fire that has become one with natural disasters. You cannot defeat it with water alone.”
“Who said I was only using one of my powers?”
The White Star's morale dipped a bit after hearing Cale’s comment.
“What?”
Cale sounded as if he was sighing as he responded to the White Star’s question.
“Did you think I was just standing here with a single spear as I listened to you?”
Cale shook his head from side to side.
The White Star heard an unfamiliar noise at that moment.
Boom.
It was far from a large shaking, but it was definitely the sound of the ground shaking.
Boom, boom.
North, south, east, and west. The noise was coming from all directions.
Crack.
A quiet sound came out of the ground at that moment. The ground was slowly starting to crack.
The ground was cracking from inside up to the surface.
A crack appeared in front of the red wave that was furiously charging forward while gobbling everything in its way.
Cale heard a voice in his mind.
- I think you are going to faint.
- Shut up and hurry up and dig properly! You damn Super Rock!
The Scary Giant Cobblestone and the Sky Eating Water’s conversation filled Cale’s mind.
Boom. Boom.
His heart was beating wildly.
“...Did you perhaps use the earth attribute ancient power-”
The White Star who was mumbling in shock could see Cale’s twisted smile.
‘Perhaps my ass. That perhaps is right you damn bastard!’
Crack, crack.
There was a hole in the ground that was created from those quiet noises. Then as a small strand of water slowly entered into the hole...
Baaaaaang! Baaaaang! Baaaaang!
People heard a loud noise that sounded loud enough to wake the night. They could see strands of water shooting up from the north, south, east, and west.
Cale glared at the White Star.
‘He said he wanted to create a natural disaster?’
“Disaster my ass.”
