Chapter 1119 — Book 2: Chapter 316: I'll do it (3)
14 min read ·
However, those confident footsteps…
“Human, you'll get hurt!”
Were stopped by Raon’s comment.
“Ahem.”
Cale quickly stopped his boisterous laugh and looked at Raon.
Raon smiled brightly in return.
“Human, that’s amazing! The way you curled back immediately because you thought you were going to get hurt? That was amazing!”
“Yes, even you should learn something like this.”
“…….”
Cale was at a loss for words at Raon’s retort.
‘What is this young Dragon saying?
Where did he learn such vicious words?’
Cale looked toward Choi Han in disbelief.
"Cale-nim, you do have to learn a bit.”
Cale chose silence after hearing Choi Han’s response as well.
Pat pat.
Hong warmly patted Cale’s leg.
Of course, Raon didn't even give Cale a glance.
He did not have time for that.
Oooooo– oooooo–
Mana started to gather around Raon.
Cale’s eyes clouded over as he watched.
‘As expected.’
Just like Choi Han, Raon’s registration was not fully completed.
However, he was still able to freely use mana.
It was just like how Raon was the only one who was not suppressed by the aura of Aipotu and could use his powers freely.
Raon was using his powers as usual once again.
‘His nose is not bleeding like the first time he used magic in Aipotu.’
Raon's attribute, the present.
Cale thought that this attribute-
‘The more I think about it, the more amazing this attribute seems to be.’
No matter when…
No matter where…
Raon was Raon.
Fully himself in the present.
If that was a ‘portion’ of this attribute…
‘Raon just needs to grow up well.’
Since Raon was someone who learned everything well…
The more Raon learned, experienced, and grew his powers, his omnipotence would grow.
‘Hold on.’
Raon learned everything well.
Was that simply because he was smart?
‘Mmm.’
Cale decided not to think about it right now.
For him to think deeper about it-
Oooooooong- ooooooong-
The current situation was too serious and dire.
The smile disappeared from Cale's face.
It was the same for the children averaging ten-years-old and Choi Han.
“…My goodness.”
Gisk gulped as he watched.
‘I can see it.’
Inside the cracker house that was now without its doors…
At first, he just saw what looked like a typical house.
However, the moment this young Dragon named Raon used his mana, he could slowly start to see the true appearance of the house.
It was an odd area with purple and all sorts of colors intertwined more than a spiderweb.
Gisk got chills on his back feeling the presence of those powers.
‘This castle will disappear if that power explodes.’
An immense disaster would befall the fields of the Seventh Evil.
However, he did not dare to open his mouth or do anything.
Oooooo– oooooo–
The black mana rising from the Black Dragon…
‘Black Dragon.’
Actually, in this game, Black Dragons were not good individuals. Others did not have a good view of them.
Nonetheless-
‘It’s so clear.’
The black mana that started from this Dragon and slowly started to spread out…
The aura around them that moved because of the mana was so so clear.
Just like the Dragon's clear eyes.
Shaaaaa-
A breeze blew by at that moment.
As Raon’s dark blue eyes clouded over…
“All done!”
As Raon quietly said that…
The black mana seeped into the cracker house.
‘Yes, it is seeping in.’
Choi Han started smiling as he watched.
‘So smart.’
Raon really was smart.
He knew better than anybody else what needed to be done.
The purple mana and the radiant five colors of the foundation of this world… Raon’s mana seeped into the gaps between these powers.
‘And he is creating gaps.’
Just like how Choi Han used his domain the first time to create a path within the Blood Demon's power back in the Central Plains…
Raon was creating his own path little by little.
‘He must have learned from me. No, the way it is seeping in seems to be like Mila-nim?’
Raon learned his fighting methods from Cale and the others.
“…Gently!”
He could hear Raon mumbling to himself almost as if it was an incantation.
Raon then clenched his chubby front paws.
Shhhhhhh-
The black mana that seeped in gently started to hug the purple mana.
It continued to endlessly crash against the foundation of this world, but…
“Mana is mana!”
Both black mana and purple mana had the same true nature.
Raon cautiously hugged the dead mana and pushed to one side.
Crack! Crack!
The purple mana resisted at first.
However, the owner of this mana was not here right now.
That meant there was nobody to give orders to this mana, so it naturally started to slowly flow in the direction of the path created by the new mana.
Oooooo– oooooo–
The manas started to gather together.
Drip.
Raon's forehead filled with sweat.
‘This is not easy!’
This was not regular mana but mana left behind by another Dragon.
It was not easy to pull such mana to become his own.
The thankful thing was that it was a bit easier to dismantle because the mana was pure mana without anything else.
Because the Dragon Lord had yet to use his spell, this mana was just a collection of mana gathered together.
Of course, that did not make things easy.
‘But I will still make it happen!’
Raon had no choice but to do so.
‘Our human has no countermeasures!’
Cale had tried to walk in without any hesitation.
It was because he was fully confident that Raon could deal with the purple mana.
Such trust was visible in his eyes as he looked at Raon.
This was the truth.
‘It may be hard but it’s not impossible!’
Because of that…
‘I'm doing it!’
Raon managed to do it.
The black mana wrapped around the purple mana.
Shh.
His chubby front paws moved.
The blackish-purple manas started to follow.
Drip.
Beads of sweat fell down his chubby cheeks again.
Raon didn't care.
He simply said one thing while fully concentrating on what he was doing.
“Human, it's done!”
He then heard a response.
“You truly are great and mighty.”
His voice was calm as it only seemed to carry the truth.
A smile appeared on Raon's face.
Raon then saw Cale entering the cracker house.
The black mana was hugging the purple mana.
Basically, they were creating a path.
A small gap only big enough for one person to cross.
Cale walked following that path.
However, neither Choi Han nor the children averaging ten-years-old could follow him.
‘The Foundation of this world.’
That five colored power existed in this place.
‘It does not matter.’
However, it didn’t matter to Cale. It did not affect him at all.
As such, he walked in without any hesitation.
“Human, it is impossible to decode the Magic Circle!”
The magic circle that covered all of the houses…
If it was something that even Raon could not decipher…
‘Let’s not think about it right now.’
There was nobody to activate this magic circle with Dragon Lord Neo not here.
‘I'll record it though.’
Cale was the type to remember this magic circle.
– Cale.
His footsteps mechanically stopped in front of the machine
The device seemed to resemble a cannon.
It naturally did not have gunpowder.
The empty cannon opening looked as if it would shoot out lasers.
Those openings were all focusing on the direction of opening.
Swish swish.
A glass tube was placed on top of the device.
That tube was quite full of the grey liquid now.
Splash.
And the moment that the liquid filled some more…
‘Mm.’
Cale flinched.
– Cale.
The Dominating Aura called out to Cale once again.
Cale looked down.
– This magic circle.
Yes.
The grey liquid filled the moment the magic circle activated.
– The thing inside there is chaos itself. I'm sure it is chaos.
The aura informed Cale.
The aura could not sense chaos.
– Even within chaos, it holds primal fear.
Primal fear was what was surrounding the crystal, the reference point, inside the glass tube.
– Mm. The magic circle seems to drag over all of the primal fear of this world. But I can’t be certain.
It is just a hypothesis.
Cale opened his mouth to speak.
“Good job.”
– …Huh?
He praised the Dominating Aura for the first time.
– D, did I just get praised?
And the Dominating Aura…
– …Mm.
It was deeply moved.
– …….
It stopped saying anything.
Cale became concerned.
“Hey, are you crying?”
– …No. Sniff.
‘He is crying.’
Cale couldn't believe what he was hearing.
However, the Dominating Aura did do a good job this time.
‘The primal fear of this world?’
Primal fear spread throughout the game…
‘It sucks it up and turns it into this grey liquid?’
Just hearing about it made it clear this item was sus.
And…
“Just based on what I've heard it sounds like we need to get rid of it.”
It was at that moment.
– Why get rid of it?!!!
“Ah, that scared me.”
Cale truly was surprised.
– Why would you get rid of it?!
The Dominating Aura that had stopped crying now shouted.
Cale was truly flabbergasted.
– Why did you change so much?!
‘Wait.’
– You feel like you can live with no issues these days?
‘Wait, why did this bastard start acting like this?’
Did he suddenly go crazy?’
“What, what is it?”
Cale stuttered because he was subconsciously flustered.
It had been a while since he was scolded like this by an ancient power.
– Isn’t it obvious?!
The Dominating Aura sounded angry.
– We should be eating that! Why get rid of it?!
‘Hmm?’
– Just looking at it, sluuurp. It looks delicious- sluuurp.
The aura had been sniffling but now he was licking his lips.
The Dominating Aura was gulping continuously, as if it had thrown away its usual imposing appearance somewhere.
‘Ah.’
‘Now that I think about it…
You swallowed the power of the Saint of the God of Chaos as well, right?’
Although it was not fully digested…
Cale’s status window popped up.
[Skill: Fear of Chaos (Deactivated)]
“The skill's name too-”
‘Fear of Chaos?
The Saint’s power that I just happened to gain mentions fear?
This-’
“Can I really eat this?”
– Why?!
The Dominating Aura kept shouting.
– You fed the Fire of Destruction so many great things back in the Central Plains! You gave him so many elixirs! Why won't you give me any? Are you discriminating against me?! You give all the other guys so many good things! I, I'm sad! 𝔯ＡNȪ𝔟ĘS
“Shut up.”
– …….
‘Ah, much better now that he is quiet.’
Cale extended his hand toward the glass container.
He heard a concerned voice behind him.
“Cale-nim! Won’t that be dangerous?”
“Human, I haven’t even figured out the magic circle yet! You can’t just touch that!”
But Cale had already grabbed the glass tube on top of the machine.
“It’s okay.”
‘Oh.’
The glass tube was easily pulled out.
It was the size of a wine bottle.
The reference point was floating inside the transparent glass bottle.
Cale opened the lid of the tube.
Pop!
It opened very easily.
Shake shake. He shook the glass bottle for the others to see.
“This is an extremely good medicine for me.”
“Excuse me?”
“Our human is saying something only he understands again!”
Cale let Choi Han and Raon’s comments in one ear and out the other as he looked down at the grey liquid.
“Mm.”
He got chills on his back.
– Slurp.
But why was his reaction like this?
– It looks good.
‘I know, right?
Why does this grey liquid look delicious?
No, why do I want to drink it?’
His gaze was focused on the grey liquid and he could not look away.
That was why he had not noticed it.
“Mm.”
“…….”
Choi Han and On stood in front of Hong and Raon.
The eccentric aura that burst out the moment Cale opened the glass bottle…
That aura gave them goosebumps all over.
“Ugh.”
The Heinous Dark Bear almost plopped down to the ground.
“T, thank you very much.”
Gisk helped the bear stay up. But he was too busy looking at Cale to hear the bear’s thank you.
The dreadful aura coming out of the bottle with the grey liquid…
A sensation that Gisk had not even felt while fighting against Choi Han covered his whole body.
‘I'm going to die.’
No.
‘I'm going to be eaten up.’
How should he describe this?
When a human faces off against a wild beast with his bare hands… The fear that he might be eaten by that wild beast.
Such a fear overwhelmed him.
It was like when he faced an overwhelming instinctual fear.
“…….”
As for Cale Henituse, who had personally opened that fear, was smiling while looking at the liquid.
While licking his lips.
This was a different kind of fear.
“As expected of the greatest of all evils……!”
He heard the bear mumbling.
Yes, the greatest of all evils.
It made sense that the greatest of all evils would be happy and desire this thing even after taking a look at it.
Because of that……
‘Is that why they call him the greatest of all evils?’
Cale Henituse.
He was a hidden existence.
Gisk thought that once this appearance was revealed to the world, the title of ‘the greatest of all evils’ would be the best identity to this guy.
But Cale had no idea about this as he contemplated things.
‘Drink it? Or hold back?’
This liquid of chaos… To drink or not to drink.
If he drinks this and faints-
“That would be bad.”
And…
“I also don't know what will happen to the reference point.”
The reference point was currently surrounded by the grey liquid.
He needed to take this to Aipotu as is and use it at the right time.
Cale's gaze moved from the sparkling crystal.
Shhhhhhhhh—
The machine was starting to stop.
The magic circle started to lose its light.
It made sense.
The glass tube with the power of chaos had disappeared.
The mana and the foundation of this world still remained in this space, but…
Almost too easily…
The magic circle and the machine stopped.
As if nothing had happened.
Swish swish.
Cale closed the glass bottle and put it in his pocket.
“That was easy.”
Things had ended much easier than he had expected.
"What do you mean it was eaaaaaasy?!”
‘Ah, that scared me!’
He turned his head to see the bear plop down on the ground and breathe heavily.
“Eek!”
It looked away as soon as it made eye contact with Cale.
“As expected of the greatest of all evils!”
‘What is that bear saying?’
Cale just ignored the bear.
He then looked toward Choi Han and the children averaging ten-years-old.
‘Not bad.’
The children were looking up with wide eyes and completely normal faces.
That was why Cale ignored the bear and motioned to the children averaging ten-years-old and Choi Han.
He was sure that they would head to the Dragon Lord's lair, the basement once they logged out, but…
"Alright, let’s go through here.”
The distorted portal.
They could go through this thing to return as well.
“Let’s go over and destroy the teleportation magic circle first.”
So that the enemies could not run away.
So that they could not come into the game.
“!”
Cale turned his head at that moment.
He felt a chilling aura on his back.
The door opened.
Dragon Lord Neo's closed room door opened beyond the portal.
He couldn’t hear anything but he could clearly see the door opening.
“Already-”
‘The Lord is already back?
If we get caught like this-’
Cale’s face stiffened.
“Huh?”
Cale then stopped thinking.
No, he was flustered.
“H, human!”
Raon was also flustered.
“Meeeeeow!”
“Meeow!”
On and Hong as well.
“Mm.”
Even Choi Han.
It could not be helped.
On the other side of the temporary portal…
As the heavy doors of the Grand Pavilion opened…
“What the…?”
The Heavenly Demon walked in and looked flabbergasted.
“Isn’t that Kim Hae-il?”
“Hoo hoo. As I expected. The legend was already creating a path.”
Next to the Heavenly Demon was Clopeh, who had a gentle smile on his face while unable to hide his joy.
Baaaaang!
Baaaaang!
Loud explosions echoed outside the room where the Heavenly Demon and Clopeh were.
* * *
Eruhaben, Mila, and Rasheel.
The auras of the three Dragons swirled as they ruthlessly attacked the castle along with the poisonous green wind.
“You must be Neo.”
Eruhaben was charging toward Dragon Lord Neo.
“…….”
Eruhaben sent a golden dust whirlwind toward the purple Dragon staring at him.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—!
Rosalyn and Zhuge Mi Ryeo used that opening to do what they could do as strategists.
The Dragon Lord was doing something right now.
But the Dragon Lord came out.
Let’s use that opening.
Let’s send a scouting team to the Lord’s lair.
The people chosen for the scouting team were the two swiftest people in the Black Castle.

Clopeh and the Heavenly Demon. This should be good.
