Chapter 1050 — Book 2: Chapter 248: Lunacy, Worship. And the Way (10)
12 min read ·
Cale didn’t know who these two enemies were.
‘A Dragon and a Dragon half-blood.’
Well, he wouldn't have known if Eruhaben did not tell him in advance.
– Human, but the two of them are a bit peculiar!
The invisible Raon was right about these two enemies being peculiar.
– One reminds me of Gashan! One resembles the grumbling Hannah!
First of all…
‘The Dragon half-blood is the one with that bulky berserk Beast person-like physique.’
‘The woman with the martial arts uniform is the Dragon?’
The woman, who had both her hands and feet wrapped up, was wearing a short sleeved shirt and shorts.
– Human, I guess that Dragon isn't cold! As expected of a damn strong Dragon!
‘…Who the hell taught Raon a term like damn strong?’
Cale was flabbergasted but did agree with Raon.
‘I guess she is not cold.’
Cale then thought about how he himself was tightly wrapped up in clothes. He felt a bit as if he had lost, but he chose to forget his own appearance for now.
‘You shouldn't judge people by their appearances. Yes, yes indeed.
But I wonder-’
– Human, why are they not moving?
Raon was saying the things that were on Cale’s mind.
“Bring it on.”
Cale had said that so brusquely, but the two enemies remained on the ground.
The Dragon had not moved at all.
‘…Are they sleeping?’
He knew there was no way that they would fall asleep with their eyes open, but… That was how out of it they looked.
Only silence dominated the area after Cale had told them to bring it on in such a refreshing manner.
Blink blink.
Yes, that Dragon was just blinking her eyes like a cow in the field.
She looked as innocent as a cow as well.
‘What is going on?
Is this Dragon really an enemy?’
The Dragon opened her mouth as Cale’s mind was about to turn into a complicated mess.
She spoke while blinking.
“…It's cold.”
‘Huh?’
– I knew it! Human, I knew that Dragon would be cold! She's barefoot in the middle of winter with her hands and feet wrapped while wearing a short-sleeved top and shorts! She’s definitely going to catch a cold! There’s no need to fight her! Just let her catch a cold!
‘…Seriously, what is going on?’
Cale subconsciously commented back.
“You, what the hell?”
The enemy responded.
“Ah. Me, Cisco.”
She then asked.
“You?”
Cale subconsciously responded.
“Me? Cale.”
– Human, is it time for introductions? Should I introduce myself as well?
‘No.
Wait, that’s not important right now!’
This was the first time Cale ever lost the control of a conversation like this. He then blankly asked back.
“…Him, who is he?”
He was asking about the statue-like Dragon half-blood standing next to the blinking Dragon.
Cisco answered.
“Him-”
Cisco stopped talking. She then turned her head to ask the bulky Dragon half-blood.
“You, who are you?”
‘What is up with this?
What is up with this Dragon?’
Cale was truly shocked.
However, his mind already had information recorded about the 10 Dragon gods.
It allowed him to identify his enemy as soon as she said that she was Cisco.
‘Dragon Cisco, the God of Fighting.’
Information about her…
< The Dragon who has experienced the most battles. >
She was said to never miss a fight.
It was also a reason she had a lot of believers treating her as a real god. Most of them being mercenaries or knights.
Fighting. This Dragon truly suited her attribute.
‘The peculiar thing about her is that she enjoys martial arts.’
She preferred exchanging punches rather than using magic.
Cale heard an unfamiliar voice as he organized the information about Cisco in his mind.
The berserk Beast person-like man was speaking.
Cale was now able to ascertain information about him as well.
“I am the Third Bishop, Cisco-nim.”
The Third Bishop of the Holy Empire.
Cale's eyes clouded over.
‘A real Dragon half-blood is here.’
Unlike the First Knights Brigade, this guy was a real Dragon half-blood.
“Ah. You are the Third Bishop.”
Cisco nodded before thinking about something and then asking.
“What is your name?”
“My name is Hons, Cisco-nim.”
Nod nod. Cisco nodded her head before looking back at Cale.
“He is Hons. He is the Third Bishop.”
“Haaaa.”
Cale just sighed.
– Human! Those Inquisitors and the Dragon half-blood knights look baffled.
‘I know, right? Even I would be baffled.’
Of course, Cale did not put his guard down.
Just a moment ago…
‘That attack…’
The reason the snowy mountain was destroyed was because Cisco and Eruhaben's spells struck each other.
Unlike her blank face, Cisco tried to launch a highest-grade spell from the beginning.
Cale shook his head before he asked.
“Did you come to see Kendall?”
The Inquisitors flinched.
Cale paid no attention to the battlefield that had calmed down for now.
He only looked at Cisco.
“Yeah. ‘That’s right. Kendall’s aura got stronger before it suddenly disappeared.”
“He’s alive.”
“Kendall lost?”
“Yeah.”
“To you?”
“No.”
This extremely peaceful conversation did not seem to fit the battlefield.
It was a conversation between a man tightly wrapped up in fur clothes and a Dragon in shorts.
Cisco raised her arm and pointed somewhere.
“Then did he lose to that senior over there?”
Cisco pointed at Eruhaben.
The ancient Dragon opened his mouth with an odd look on his face.
“…At least you are respectful?”
Cale ignored it and answered her question.
“No.”
“Then the kid?”
She pointed at a spot in the sky.
“!”
Cale flinched.
– Human, she noticed me!
Raon was shocked.
– Cale, that girl is strong. She is much stronger than that Kendall punk. Her senses are sharp.
The ancient Dragon spoke to Cale in shock as well.
However, Cale did not reveal his inner thoughts as he calmly answered.
“No.”
“Then that Whale over there?”
She immediately saw through Witira’s identity as well.
“No.”
"Then that Dark Elf who received the blessing of an Elemental?”
“No.”
"Then that swordsman over there? He seems to be in the process of heading past the sword master level.”
“No.”
“Then the child with the auras of both a god and dead mana?”
“No.”
Cale got chills the more he answered.
‘This Dragon.’
Choi Han, Hannah, etc… She was able to easily see through their strength levels and their true natures.
‘She's strong.’
She was very strong.
He could tell without even fighting her.
It was like when the White Star noticed a bit about the secret behind Choi Han and Cale in relation to time during their first meeting.
This Dragon was able to assess her enemy’s strength to some degree.
“Then who?”
Cisco started to think.
Cale watched her in disbelief before glancing at Eruhaben.
– Let’s look for an opening to capture her. There was no need for them to react to their opponent being so relaxed.
Cale liked the ancient Dragon’s suggestion.
They had no reason to wait for their enemies.
He heard Cisco's voice at that moment.
"Then was it that Dragon?”
‘Hmm?’
Cale flinched.
‘A Dragon?
There’s another Dragon?’
He slowly turned his gaze.
Someone was walking toward the ice wall.
“Damn it! Why do I need to run an errand like this?!”
He had a basket of food in his hand.
“Fuck! Why the fuck do I need to carry and deliver food made by a damn human?! I am a great and mighty Dragon!”
It was Rasheel.
He was walking with food that Beacrox had made.
“Meeeeeow.”
“Meeow!”
On and Hong were naturally with him.
Rasheel slightly turned his head after seeing the cats looking at him and quickly mumbled.
“No, I am not saying that I would object to Sheritt-nim's request!”
Lord Sheritt was worried about Cale, Raon, and the others eating properly, so Mila asked Rasheel to deliver this food.
Rasheel didn’t have the strength to say no.
He was quite injured from his fight against Kendall so he could only start walking with his entire body covered in bandages.
“Fuck!”
He then flinched.
“Hmm?”
He raised his head and looked forward.
He noticed that there were people looking at him oddly.
His eyesight was good, probably because he was a Dragon.
“…Everybody seems to be looking at me?”
As he had that thought…
“It must be that Dragon.”
Cale heard Cisco's mumbling.
‘!’
He got chills the moment he heard her voice.
That comment did not sound aloof like everything else; her voice was as cold as a sharpened blade.
‘I need to stop her.’
He had no idea what was going on, but his mind was warning him that he needed to stop this Dragon right now.
Eruhaben felt this as well.
The two tried to attack Cisco, but…
“Shit!”
Cale saw Cisco move past him.
No, she didn't move past him. She just gently kicked off the ground.
Boom!
The ground shook and her body flew up.
She then charged toward Rasheel.
Cale scowled.
It could not be helped. Rasheel was not the only one in that direction.
“Something is coming!”
“Hong! Get behind me!”
Hong and On were there as well.
As Cale's eyes turned ominous…
Cisco and Rasheel looked at each other.
"What the hell? What is up with this crazy Dragon bitch who is attacking as soon as we make eye contact?”
“You defeated Kendall?”
Rasheel answered lightheartedly.
“Yup.”
He answered her for now.
“I fucked him up.”
Smile.
The corners of Rasheel’s lips twisted up.
Cisco's eyes sparkled in response.
Her once sleepy and blank eyes were now sharp and cold.
Smile.
A smile appeared on her face as well. She wet her lips with her tongue.
It was different from the gaze of a hunter looking at her prey. In fact, her eyes resembled an extremely happy child.
Cisco raised her fist.
Ooooo—
An odd cry started roaring around her first.
“Oh. You want to fight me?”
The smile on Rasheel's face turned vicious.
He then flinched.
“Shit!”
He looked down at his arm.
He saw the basket of food that was still warm because of magic.
If he was to destroy this basket-?
“Hey, hey! Hold on, hold on a bit!”
He became desperate.
He thought about the Dragons who would pummel him with their gazes.
“Meeeeeow.”
Rasheel then also realized that On and Hong were here as well.
‘Fuck!’
Why did he suddenly think about how Cale Henituse would look at him with scorn?
‘I'm not worried about a human looking at me like that at all!’
Rasheel opened his mouth.
“Hey, stop for a bit! We can’t fight here!”
‘Fine, honestly speaking, I am a bit scared of that!
Thinking about how even Cale Henituse would look down at me is a bit scary!
No.
I’m just trying to protect these young Cats as well as the food that a mom and a chef packed with love!
I am a great and caring Dragon!’
Rasheel urgently moved to stand in front of On and Hong.
He then cast a shield.
“I told you to stop!”
However, Cisco ignored him.
Kendall, the God of Victory.
That guy had always been victorious.
Such a punk had lost.
That fact was getting Cisco excited.
‘It is fine as long as he is alive.’
Kendall seemed to still be alive. Then it didn’t matter.
She wasn’t thinking about getting revenge on Rasheel or anything like that.
She just wanted to fight against the opponent Kendall lost against.
If she needed a justification of revenge for that, she would happily play that card.
Ooooo—
Cisco, and the odd cry of her fist, arrived very close to Rasheel.
She was moving at a formidable speed despite not using magic.
“Fuck!”
“Meeeeeow!”
“Meeow!”
Rasheel, On, and Hong's voices filled the inside of Rasheel’s shield.
“Hey.”
A low voice reached Cisco's ears.
Chh.
She felt chills all over her body.
Her back felt cold.
Cisco stopped moving.
Tap. She landed on the ground.
“Didn't I already ask you?”
She slowly turned around while listening to the stoic voice. His voice oddly sounded very clear despite the distance.
Cale.
The man who had introduced himself as Cale was looking at Cisco.
He spoke to her.
“I asked if you came to fight.”
‘You came to fight, right?’
Cale had said the following after asking her that question.
‘Bring it on.’
Cale said it again.
“Let me tell you one more time.”
Cisco looked down at her hand. Her palms were now sweaty.
An intense aura that made her feel suffocated pushed down against her.
“Come at me.”
If you are here to fight, come at me.
Ooooo—
The air around Cale started to rumble and make an eccentric noise.
Cisco, the God of Fighting, was known to be ranked in the middle of the ten gods.
She would be a great measuring tool.
How well would Cale be able to fight against the Dragons of this world?
Cale finished his calculations and looked at On and Hong for a moment.
– Human, don’t worry about Noona and Hyung! I'll cast a shield! Rasheel is not reliable!
He looked away from the two Cats and back at Cisco.
Now that he thought about it, he had only used the Dominating Aura since coming to this world.
Maybe that was the reason, but-
– You are overflowing with energy, right?’
He heard a clear voice.
Booboboboooooooooom–!
The snow started to shake.
“Yeah.”
He did feel like he had energy to spend.
– Dragons act as gods in this place?
Man, that’s not even funny.
The Sky Eating Water laughed brightly. However, she could not hide her special trace of lunacy hidden within her voice.
– Those shitheads are working with the God of War?
That was the other thing they had heard from Eruhaben.
This perishing world and the Hunter households… A god, specifically the God of War, may be working with them.
Cale heard the ancient Dragon say that it was almost certain to be the case, and his ancient powers had heard it as well.
– I guess I need to eat up these shitheads one by one.
The moment the Sky Eating Water finished talking…
Cisco answered with a smiling yet cold look on her face.
“Okay, sounds good.”
Her feet and her quickly approaching fist were heading for Cale.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—
There was a loud explosion.
Water stopped Cisco's fist.
The water was sparkling white because it had absorbed some melting snow.
Cisco looked past the water wall.
Cale was looking at her with a stoic gaze.
He looked as if he was trying to assess her strength.
