Chapter 767: The Birth of a Hero? (1)

The eyes of the knight who had been protecting the entrance of the Puzzle City City Hall were sparkling.

The radiant shield slowly became dimmer as it disappeared from the sky. In its place was the extremely clear blue sky.

Woooooooooooooooo!

"We're alive!

The cheering soldiers Their shouts made it feel real.

This long battle was finally over.

They never expected to see such a clear sky afterward.

A gentle smile appeared on the knights face.

Although it was a day in winter and not much time was left in this year The sun in the sky felt oddly warm and the wind felt refreshing instead of cold.

Its over.

His mumbling made the senior knight standing next to him laugh out loud and nod his head.

Looks like it. Finally finally-

The senior knight could not say anything else and raised his head to look at the person standing in the sky.

Cale Henituse. He was standing firm.

The shield truly does not break.

Definitely.

The knight nodded his head vigorously at his seniors comment to show his agreement.

I knew that the Commander-nim would persist to the end.

Although this god was sealed, they were told that an attack with the power of a god would soon envelop Puzzle City.

It gave me chills.

Loud explosions that sounded as if his ears would explode rang endlessly, and gusts of wind from the impact rushed against them.

They could not see the different powers mixed together because of the large shield surrounding Puzzle City and Cales half-transparent silver shield, but they knew that there was quite the clash happening there.

Yes. But the shield still persisted.

The thing that remained in the end, the thing that persisted through everything, was the shield.

It was the Commander of the Roan Kingdom.

The knight smiled as he did not share his emotions.

The shield did not even budge, just as I expected!

The knight saw the senior knights face stiffen at that moment.

He got chills on the back of his neck.

Really?

He heard a low voice.

The knight urgently turned his head and froze on the spot after seeing the two people in front of the group.

The shield did not even budge you say

This person was from the noble household that was said to have the most influence in the Roan Kingdom right now.

The Duke's House of Henituse.

The master of the household, Deruth Henituse, was smiling while being supported by his second son, Basen Henituse. Basen had rushed over to Puzzle City after hearing that the Duke had fainted.

Duke Deruths eyes were not smiling.

The knight subconsciously gulped.

He recalled the information about how Duke Deruth had fainted from shock after seeing former Commander Cale Henituse stab himself in the chest with a dagger.

Okay.

The Duke nodded his head and asked in a low voice.

That blood-covered look, that messy look seems perfect without any issues to you?

Duke Deruth was known as someone who had a lot of money, cared a lot for his family and his territory, and for having a good personality. He was just known as a typical noble when he was a Count.

However, the Henituse territory defeating the Indomitable Alliance and his territory being known as the hometown of Cale, Choi Han, and other distinguished individuals changed the way people looked at him.

However, the majority opinion still remained that Duke Deruth was a gentle person.

H, his gaze-

The knight subconsciously lowered his head.

Deruth's gaze was quite vicious, unlike the smile on his face.

No, it was cold.

Unlike his body which looked tired and made it seem as if his condition was terrible, his eyes were extremely frigid.

I, I'm sorry, sir.

The knight subconsciously apologized.

For what? Its understandable that you would think that way. There is no need to apologize.

Duke Deruth walked past the knight and patted him on the shoulder.

I just hope that you remember that I am Cales father. What kind of parent would be able to brush aside their child looking like this?

The knights tense shoulders relaxed after hearing Deruth's gentle voice.

Pat, pat.

Deruth patted the knight's shoulder and walked past him. He walked for a while before stopping for a moment and looking around.

Basen.

Yes, father.

Basens expression looked almost identical to Deruths.

My son.

Yes, father.

It looks like there are some people who cant see the injured because they managed to survive.

Vice-Captain Hilsman and the others from the House of Henituse who were with Deruth and Basen did not have any emotions visible on their faces.

Basen.

Yes, father?

"What kind of House is the House of Henituse?

Basen responded without any hesitation.

There is no reason to be recorded in history. Live for peace and happiness instead.

Yes. That is the House of Henituse.

Deruth watched people coming out from different parts of Puzzle City cheering, people moving quickly to deliver the message to other places, and people hugging each other in relief. Finally, he looked toward the person that most of the people were looking at. He looked up at his son Cale and continued speaking.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

It looks like we may have the first person in the House of Henituse to have their name recorded in history. Then we should at least keep the second part of our creed.

There is no reason to be recorded in history. Live for peace and happiness.

Duke Deruth was thinking that if the former was difficult to do, he should at least do the latter.

Vice-Captain.

Yes, Duke-nim?

Hilsman took a step forward.

His Majesty went to the shelter?

Yes, sir. His Majesty did not wish to evacuate, but I heard that they barely managed to convince him in the end.

Inform his Majesty that I wish for an audience.

Hilsman gulped.

Duke Deruth was a very good person and might even seem a bit too laissez-faire, but he was someone who found rules and principles to be important.

But such a person was releasing such a vicious aura right now.

I knew young master Cale-nims personality came from Duke Deruth-nim.

He had wondered at times whether Cale was more like Violan despite her not being his biological mother, but He truly was like the Duke.

Basen.

Yes, father?

Pack our bags.

Hmm?

Hilsman and the nearby knights flinched and looked at Deruth.

There shouldnt be a need for us to pay attention to useless things like the state of the continent or whatnot. I'm going to go see your brother's face.

Basen responded without any hesitation.

Yes, father.

He then immediately started moving to inform Duchess Violan about this.

Deruth watched him leave before slowly moving again.

He was headed to see his son's face.

His eyes observed Cale moving into the temple with the broken wall.

Cale, who had no idea about this, rubbed the back of his head after thinking that it suddenly got cold.

"Why do I suddenly have the chills?

There should be nothing left to do here?

Saint Jack ran forward from the back without knowing what to do.

Hannah had already rushed forward to check Marys condition before shouting toward Choi Han.

Hey! We need to quickly move them!

Choi Han silently carried Cale on his back. He moved quite efficiently.

H, how is he?

Litana, who had come next to them now, felt her fingertips shaking as Choi Han did not respond to her and just carried Cale while biting down on his lips.

Choi Han was usually respectful and a very good person. The situation was so urgent that such a person could not even respond.

This must mean that Cale was in dire condition.

To me, please bring him to me now-

Saint Jack caught his breath as he approached Choi Han.

Alberu spoke in a low voice at that moment.

His plate is in danger, so it would be bad to try to heal him here.

Excuse me? But I should still-

Cage, the last person in the pack, moved next to Choi Han before putting a hand on Jacks shoulder.

His highness is right.

R, really?

Jack saw Cage wink at him. He nodded his head in confusion.

Lets hurry!

Cage urgently shouted.

There are some mages outside the temple, so it should not be hard for us to get down!

These mages were here to protect or move Litana, Toonka, Jack, and the others in case any unexpected situations arose. They were all Alberus subordinates.

Yes. Lets go!

Toonka looked at Cale, who was on Choi Hans back and could not even lift his head, and shouted with desperation. He then approached Alberu.

Will you be okay if I support you?

No.

Someone interjected at that moment.

It was Clopeh, who had gone through the temple once the sealed gods schemes had disappeared, and opened the door.

I can support him.

Clopeh supported Alberu and helped him stand without any hesitation.

Lets hurry! Its urgent!

Cage shouted again and Toonka ran forward as Cage pointed at him to lead the way. Litana was with him as well.

Choi Han was behind them with Cale on his back while Cale sighed with his eyes closed.

What the hell is he plotting?

Cale was thinking about what Alberu was plotting. He was also thinking about what Choi Han, this guy who had his mouth shut because he couldn't act at all, was thinking.

Alberu had no idea about this as he looked at Clopeh. Clopeh quietly whispered after sensing his gaze.

For the legend.

Crazy bastard.

Alberu hid his thoughts and said something else.

How about you carry me too.

Hannah had carried Mary on her back already.

Clopeh said that his arms and legs were strong enough for that and carried Alberu.

It seems as if you are trying to trick everybody, your highness.

Alberu smiled at Clopeh's nonchalant comment.

The danger was over.

However, they needed to filter through people to prevent another danger.

He needed to find out if there were bastards who would try to take their positions or scheme things behind their backs while the heroes of this incident were in critical condition.

He needed to observe the allied nations who were cooperating with them as well.

Most importantly, I need to figure out what the hell the king is thinking.

He needed to decipher Zed Crossmans inner thoughts.

Furthermore, I need to control what people are thinking.

Alberu remembered what one of his subordinates had said about Cale. This faith that Cale would be able to take care of everything The things that were said while looking at someone who looked as if he could faint at any moment

I cant let my dongsaeng carry such baggage.

These people were more like family than his actual family. These friends were worth more than family.

The Guardian Knight truly is different.

Hoohoo.

Of course, Clopeh was not on that list.

* * *

A group of people was descending toward the Puzzle City Plaza from the temple using flight magic.

The plaza was currently filled with the chief executives of the different forces as well as people who had come to watch.

The King of the Roan Kingdom, who should be controlling this, was just off in the distance watching.

Boom.

Once the group of people landed at the center of the plaza

Commander-nim.

One of the Whipper Kingdom's warriors approached Toonka, who was in the front of the group. His face was full of happiness and joy. It was the same for the others around them.

As they all tried to approach the heroes and welcome their return

As the spectators were about to cheer

Commander-nim, everything is finally o-!

Shut up!

Toonka's shout made everybody silent.

Toonka pushed aside his approaching subordinate and charged forward like a carriage.

"M, my liege?

It was obvious that Toonka was enraged. He looked at the subordinate who had confusedly called out to him and shouted.

"Cant you see that we have a patient in critical condition? Huh?

Excuse me?

Are you snickering? Huh? You can laugh in this situation?

The face of the subordinate, who was about to smile, stiffened.

He immediately realized that Toonka could snap at any moment and immediately changed his demeanor. His eyes quickly moved past Toonka.

Mm.

He could see multiple people in serious conditions.

They seemed more like patients than heroes. He walked in front of Toonka and shouted.

Move! Dont block the way!

Cage's priestess robe fluttered as she shouted desperately at that moment.

Please make way! We need to quickly move them and start healing them with the Saint-nim!

Toonka and Litana pushed people to the side as Cage shouted desperately.

My close friends life is in danger!

Toonka was feeling such a sense of urgency and full of rage and sorrow that he shouted.

"See what happens if you get in our way! Move aside unless you want to die!

Crown prince Alberu, who was on Clopeh's back pretending to be unconscious, quietly mumbled to himself.

Wow.

Hoohoo.

Clopeh laughed quietly.

Cale, who was on Choi Han's back as he ran behind Toonka, clenched his eyes even tighter.

M, my son!

His father. He heard Deruth Henituses voice through the crowd.

He had a feeling that this was going to be bad.

His instincts were telling him it would be bad.
