Book 2: Chapter 164: We made a mistake...! (10)

Cale walked up the stairs and out of the Dragons tomb.

The Sichuan Castle Lord. He made eye contact with the Fist King as soon as he walked into the now ownerless study.

Its been a while, young master Kim.

Uhh, yes sir.

Cale flinched.

It could not be helped. The Fist King looked like hell right now.

Did he go roll around in a pit of dust?

He had soot all over his body and was extremely skinny as if the moisture was sucked out of his body.

And his great-granddaughter, Mok Hee

.

She was blankly standing there as if her soul had been sucked out before bowing toward Cale.

They look like they went and struggled a lot.

Especially the three Embroidered Uniform Guards who came with the Fist King

Unlike the Embroidered Uniform Guards that Cale had seen until now, their armors had a fancy crest on them. They were obviously high in ranking. They also seemed to be blanking out a bit.

How much did they struggle if the people whose job is to protect the Emperor are blanking out like this?

Cale looked at the metal container in the Fist Kings hand.

The thing in there is what turned these swords of the Emperor like this?

Im getting a bit anxious.

He felt as if he could not take this elixir lightly.

But it made sense since the Fist King had to personally move to get this treasure of the Imperial family.

Will I cough up blood after eating them?

The fact that he was fine after consuming the Dragons Tear earlier made Cale feel extremely unsettled that something big might happen now.

That might explain why Cales gaze could not move away from the box in the Fist Kings hand.

The Fist King saw Cales gaze and gulped.

How surprising.

The Fist King had already been here and waiting before Chief Eunuch Wi could tell Cale that he was here.

He chose to wait because he heard that young master Kim was doing something in the basement.

As he was waiting

That was a formidable aura.

Underneath the study He felt an immense aura from the stairs heading to the basement.

The intense auras swirling around gave the Fist King such chills that he couldnt even be shocked at the loud banging noises.

Two.

He could clearly tell that two amazing powers were clashing against each other. The Fist King had no choice but to ask Chief Eunuch Wi what young master Kim was doing via sound transmission.

Young master Kims people looked so relaxed that he felt the need to ask stealthily instead of openly.

Chief Eunuch Wi. What is young master Kim doing?

A Dragon

Hmm?

A Dragon. He is consuming a Dragon, Fist King-nim.

Ho.

It was truly unbelievable.

Of course, the next sound transmission explained that young master Kim was not fighting a Dragon but absorbing everything that a Dragon had left behind, but

Either way, it meant that he was consuming all of a Dragon with a human body.

Truly, where is young master Kims limit?

Even thinking about that clash of amazing auras again gave him the chills.

The Fist King understood why his great-granddaughter and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were blanking out.

The strong auras that started from the basement and created such a shock that this large Castle Lords residence shook

It would be difficult to maintain their full consciousness while feeling those auras.

Young master Kim. We have not even glimpsed at his limit yet.

He is scary.

Kim Hae-il. This person felt scarier the more he got to know him.

The Imperial family-

He had this thought for the first time.

Can the Imperial family control young master Kim?

Couldnt he destroy the Imperial Palace as well if he wanted to do so?

The Fist King stopped his thoughts there. Any further thought would be fear itself, so he could not think about it any longer.

The Fist King was feeling as if the elixir in his hands was useless.

This thought became even more certain after he saw young master Kims gaze.

Young master Kims gaze as he looked at the box with the elixir-

There is no greed.

He did not feel any signs of greed or desire. What he felt was actually anguish and hesitation.

Ha.

There were probably no martial artists like this anywhere in the world.

Elixirs and martial arts text The majority of martial artists were people who would put their lives on the line and take anothers life for these treasures.

Those cravings grew larger and larger the stronger a martial artist got.

It was because their growth slowed down the stronger they got.

It was easier to be seduced by the thought of relying on something else other than training.

Young master Kim.

The Fist King offered the box to Cale.

May I ask what this elixir is?

The Fist King nodded his head and started to explain.

A long time ago.

Cale flinched.

I asked him to explain the elixir so why does it feel like he is about to start sharing a traditional fairytale?

It was a time when humans, divine beasts, and animals all lived together.

It really was a traditional fairytale.

We call that period the ancient times.

The ancient times.

That term made Cale feel odd.

At some point during ancient times There was an imugi.

Imugi.

An existence before it becomes a Dragon. Or an existence that failed to become a Dragon.

They were talking about Dragons again.

Unlike most imugis that lived by ponds or caves, this imugi lived in a peculiar place. It was a blacksmiths house.

Human! This story sounds like it would be fun! It is very interesting!

It was not his doing.

Holy crap!

The immense pressure being transferred to his hand from the scale was making it shake.

It was at that moment.

Ugh!

Cales body curled forward.

Human!

He could not even pay attention to Raons shouting. Cale urgently moved the hand that was not touching the scale.

He rummaged through his inner shirt pocket before grabbing something in his hand.

The white crown.

The bastard that consumes Dragon blood.

Cale remembered how a whirlpool-like black mouth appeared in the white jewel at the center of the crown and greedily sucked up the Dragon half-bloods blood.

And the new item that he just got that the Dominating Aura said may allow him to even make gods cower if he combined it with this crown

Why is this?

This white crown was giving off a lot of heat right now.

It was so hot that Cale subconsciously curled forward.

Cales face stiffened while looking at the white crown.

Human!

Dont come here.

Cale stopped Raon from approaching. He then addressed Choi Han.

The two of you go over there to the stairs.

Yes, Cale-nim.

Choi Han must have noticed that it was serious as he took Raon and retreated to the stairs. Raon was extremely anxious but Cale couldnt help it.

The white jewel at the center of the white crown

A black vortex had appeared there.

It was clear what it was trying to do.

The scale!

That disgusting vortex was twitching toward the direction of the scale in Cales other hand.

Furthermore, the aura that the scale was releasing was getting stronger.

Mm.

A pressure that was making even Choi Han flinch from a distance, to be more accurate, a presence, was extending out of the scale.

I thought it was an imugi!

It was supposed to just be an imugi!

Not only that, this is just one scale of it so why is it releasing such pressure?!

Cale subconsciously started releasing his Dominating Aura.

He could not help it. He needed to get past this.

It was at that moment.

Cale.

It was an imposing voice.

The Dominating Aura. The owner of this power that was great for scamming calmly spoke.

That crown reacts to Dragon blood.

Cale immediately retorted.

But this is an imugi and not a Dragon?

Thats correct. This crown is not reacting because it wants Dragons blood or a Dragons by-products.

Then what?

Why is it suddenly acting like this?

Kehehe.

The imposing voice let out an odd laugh.

I see. I think I understand this imugis identity.

Ooooooooong-

The scale started vibrating intensely.

Cales eyes opened wide.

A red aura slowly started rising from the small scale.

It looked like a blood-mixed fog.

This imugi is one that received the choice to become a Dragon, that was fated to become one, but it rejected its fate and died after burning up its cintamani, which is basically its existence!

No wonder this crown desires it!

This crown that consumes Dragon blood would obviously want the will, the spirit, the only thing left behind by an imugi with the spirit that is equivalent to a Dragon!

The imposing voice quietly whispered.

Only then can it overcome a Dragon. The crown does not like having someone above it.

Cale. This crown wants to place that scale where the white jewel is located. It would become very strong.

It was at that moment.

Ugh!

Cale curled forward again.

One of the spatial pocket bags was rumbling intensely.

Maxillienne.

One of the treasures that she left behind, the spatial pocket bag with the crown, was releasing intense heat.

Almost as if it was asking for Cale to give it the scale.

This Reverse Scale

The two crowns were fighting over this item.

This is driving me nuts!

Cale couldnt believe it.

Why?

Im going to consume this!

Am I going to have it swiped by these crowns?

Cale. There is a way.

The imposing voice. The Dominating Aura sounded quite excited as he spoke.

You wear the crown.

What the hell is he saying? Why is it so hard to consume a single elixir?

Cale was annoyed.

Yes. Wear the crown. Be the crown. You are the crown.
