Book 2: Chapter 59: Fluttering Ashes (5)

The Huayans patriarch watched the approaching hand before suddenly recalling the title the Pope of the Church of the Fire of Purification used to address Cale.

The Purifier.

The Pope and the church were treating Cale Henituse like a god.

However, the Huayans patriarch remembered the information about this person.

I dont know about the other patriarch bastards, but I definitely read it!

He made himself remember even the smallest bits of information because he believed that he always needed to be one step ahead.

According to that information, this Cale Henituse had stopped that test subject, the White Star, but he was just a regular person who got lucky and gathered multiple ancient powers. He was someone who was trash in the past.

No. That information could have been lies.

All the information he had about this person had been wrong until now.

All sorts of thoughts filled his mind after realizing that everything he knew had been wrong.

This bastard has such an amazing power. Maybe he really will purify all of my dead mana and turn my body into that of a regular person. Maybe he will take away my powers as a black mage and make me a powerless and useless regular person.

In that case

Am I even able to stop this bastard?

Even if he overloaded, it was highly likely that they would be evenly matched.

Then what about my followers? Would my entire faction be able to stop this bastard and his friends?

It was at that moment.

Boom-!

Cales hand stopped. He calmly commented.

Theyre fast.

The Huayans patriarch turned to look.

He had the same thought as well.

So fast.

The black skeleton snakes head fell to the ground.

The black bone was cleanly cut.

The large snakes body then leaned to one side.

Boooooooooooooooom-!

There were strong rumblings as the fallen black skeleton snakes body twitched. It seemed to be trying everything it could to move again.

However, a large black Dragon descended on top of it.

Boom-!

The black Dragon stomped on the twitching headless black skeleton snake and calmly lowered its head.

A person stepped down to the ground from the head of the Dragon.

It was Choi Han.

Chh.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

He shook his sword and the dust on his blade scattered.

Mary, we dont have time to rest.

Choi Han looked into the sparkling eyes of the black Dragon before looking around the plaza.

Amidst the citizens of the Empire who were running away

The Hunters, the subordinates of the Huayans patriarch, were also running away.

Wow, amazing!

Zero commented leisurely before approaching Choi Han. Choi Han slightly frowned after turning his head.

Whats wrong? Isnt it cool?

Zero's entire body was covered in blood.

He was not injured at all. He was covered in other peoples blood.

Keke. You guys, all of you are strong.

Zeros pupils were shaking.

Very strong.

Choi Han looked away after seeing the slightly crazed look in Zeros eyes.

He had no time to pay attention to this guy.

What is the current situation?

He simply spoke to gather information about the current situation.

Ugh! I thought you were an innocent little bastard, but you are the most intense.

Zero responded cheekily before moving his blood-covered disheveled head back. His gray eyes headed down to the black skeleton snake that was slowly stopping its movements underneath the black Dragon.

The church and Imperial Princess Olivia decided to focus on evacuating the civilians. A portion of the forces will then head to the Imperial Palace with Imperial Princess Olivia at the center.

Zero pointed to himself.

And we are hunting the Hunters. The battle-focused believers are with us as well.

And the Pope?

He did not see the Pope nor priest Durst.

I am here because I have a message to deliver regarding that.

There had been a reason that Zero, who had been fighting like a crazed maniac, had approached Choi Han and Mary.

All of the Hunters ran away to the Huayans Estate. Their plan seems to gather there to fight.

And?

A lot of civilians would get injured if we fight here. The surrounding area will also turn into a mess. We decided to gather them in one area before fighting them.

Zero let out a short sigh.

We were able to handle most of the Huayans forces. However, those Hunter bastards were very strong. We could not deal with excessively strong individuals such as the sword master.

They also ran away?

Yes. I think there must be something in the Huayans Estate they need to protect.

Zero reached his hand toward Choi Han and Mary.

So, come with me, and lets fight together. I'm sorry I have to ask this of you, but I hope you guys can handle their sword master and other strong individuals.

Did they suddenly run away?

No.

Zero pointed toward the platform.

They started running the moment the Huayans patriarch was captured by our esteemed Purifier. We would have had a lot of casualties if they had not done so.

He snickered before smiling.

They must have thought it was a lost cause and ran off after seeing their leader in such dire straits.

No

Huh?

Choi Han shook his head.

Zeros face stiffened after seeing the look on Choi Hans face.

Why do you have such an expression on your face?

Mary had already reached her hand toward the black Dragon as he asked in confusion.

The black Dragon flapped its wings again as it prepared to fly up once more.

The Hunters are apparently running away to the Huayans Estate! Our allies seem to be planning on gathering the Hunters there before fighting again, but I think that something is weird!

Kekeke-

Reddock laughed.

Although I may be weaker than you, you should not have looked down on our tenacity.

He smiled at Cale. He seemed to be sneering.

The black tree. Did you really think that was the end? Kehehehe-!

He looked at the black vines binding him as he shouted.

This entire land needs to be dyed black in order to destroy the world!

Boooooooom-!!

An intense rumbling that could not be compared to any of the rumblings until now shook the entire capital.

Human!

Cale heard Raons shocked voice.

Shit!

Choi Han let out a deep groan.

Something black had shot up from what seemed to be the Huayans Estate.

It resembled mud.

It was a large black thing that he could not make out properly. Just seeing it made him feel discomfort and dread.

Most importantly, it was extremely large.

That black thing continued to shoot up.

It looked as if a large hill was being created in real-time.

No, it was not a hill, but more like a mountain.

That mountain slowly turned toward the Imperial Palace and continued to grow larger.

Reddock Huayans.

The patriarch smiled after hearing Cale calling out to him in a low voice.

I can finally see this bastards shocked face!

That black thing, there are more of them, arent there?

Kekeke, that's right! Those things will start moving from all around this world very soon!

Aphei did not know about this. She was not a Hunter, but rather just a pawn for the Hunters.

The patriarch realized that Cale was the one who had infiltrated his place. As a result, he wanted to see what kind of reaction Cale would have as Cale would have not expected something like this at all.

Our original plan would have done this later, but we had no choice thanks to you!

Those things would start from the Huayans Estate and activate in order.

The black tree was a practice round for this. These black things in all sorts of shapes and sizes would start moving.

The twisted smile disappeared from Reddocks face as he shouted.

This world will face destruction quickly thanks to you bastards! Even if you are able to purify enough to create that white sand desert! Even if you are able to suppress me! You cant stop that!

He sneered at Cale who had looked down at him.

You cant look down on 300 years of work. There is so much we have prepared in that time.

And

Even you should not be able to stop everything in this world! All of them will start moving in one hour! Kahahaha- ugh!

Reddock stopped laughing.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

He screamed.

Crackle!

His shoulder was grabbed by Cales hand and covered in rose gold light.

Man, you are so loud.

Cale calmly commented while looking at Choi Han.

I'm going to knock this bastard out. Make sure he cant do anything.

Will you head over, Cale-nim?

Cale was silent for a moment after hearing Choi Han ask in a quiet voice.

Cale, that black thing looks dangerous.

The Fire of Destruction commented.

Those black things will start to move from different locations all around this world in one hour. We dont have much time.

The Super Rock commented as well before the cheapskate chimed in again.

But the conditions to get rid of those black things shouldnt be that hard. We are omnipotent here! Khahahaha! What do you think, Cale?

The cheapskate shouted in a crazed voice.

We will really burn an entire continent! Kahahahahahahaha!

Cale nonchalantly commented to Raon, who was no longer invisible, and Choi Han, who was looking at him.

I'll be back soon.

Raon let out a sigh.

Human, it has been a while since you last fainted and coughed up blood.

Cale started to frown.

I wont faint and I wont cough up blood either.

The white sand desert was a case of using more power than necessary to purify the black tree.

He only needed to use fifty percent of his strength to release 2,500 percent worth of power.

However, what he needed right now was precisely and quickly destroying a specific target.

That was why Cales plan was to use as little power as possible to create the best result.

It was at that moment.

Pfft.

!

This was the first time Cale saw Raon smiling at him with one corner of his lips twisted up.

I mean it.

Pfft.

Raon chuckled again as if he did not believe Cale.

Cales pupils shook for the first time since coming to this world.

Raon is slowly becoming more and more like you, Cale-nim.

Choi Han tightly tied up the unconscious Reddock Huayans as he commented with a sigh.

Anyways, lets hurry, Cale-nim.

Uhh Yeah, we should.

Cale felt something was weird, but he hurried to the Huayans Estate for now.
