Chapter Text
"Time is warped for you."
Their common factor came flowing out of the White star's mouth.
"And...?"
"...What?"
Cale Henituse was standing there with a twisted smile and asking back.
'What do you want me to do about it?'
Whether time was warped or not.
'That's none of my business. It's fine as long as I live a happy and peaceful live.'
The original Cale Henituse that slashed his own neck, the countless number of scars on both of his wrists.
The haunting pain that followed whenever he overused his ancient power.
Adin's words that Cale Henituse wanted to resurrect the late Countess.
'So what. This is my life now. This is my story.'
It was in the past.
All of it didn't matter to him.
He was curious about the original's past, but it didn't actually matter.
Kim Rok Soo only wanted one thing.
A peaceful life as a wealthy slacker.
"Hannah! Mary!"
“I’m going to need you to become the next Dragon Catcher.”
Dragon Catcher.
Dragon Slayer.
The treacher.
He finally found a tool to take over that role. The White Star had finally found the human who would do one of the two things that he had been preparing to do for 1,000 years.
“You’ll need to get a taste of a Dragon heart in order to do that.”
Cale suddenly got the chills.
Ooooooong-
The white crown in his pocket was crying. The crown that liked to drink Dragon’s blood started to rumble.
Cale’s heart started to beat wildly as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His Dominating Aura suddenly started to activate.
That was the reason for it. It was as the White Star leisurely continued to speak.
“The fragment of dragon's heart inside of you is useless.”
'A what now?'
A sense of foreboding clenched his heart and Cale remembered useless questions that he kept hearing around him.
“Don’t worry about that. I will procure a real Dragon’s heart for you.”
Cale reached his arms out as the White Star said that.
He was reaching toward what seemed to be an empty area. Cale felt the unique reptilian skin as he reached his hand out.
"Human! I will destroy that White Sta-! Mmph! What are you doing? Mmph!"
Cale pulled Raon toward him as soon as he felt Raon’s skin.
Cale had chills all over his body.
He could hear the White Star’s voice.
“A young Dragon’s heart is a very good awakening tool too.”
‘The White Star is aiming for Raon.’
Cale hugged Raon and clasped his hands around him after realizing the White Star’s intentions. He then activated his Indestructible Shield to its maximum strength.
Pain emerged from his neck, as usual, but this time, only anger and determination to protect surged forward along with the emotion.
Paaaat-
The silver wings and shield were shining brighter than ever before as the shield moved in front of Cale.
“Tsk tsk. Cale, you don’t even know how to use ancient powers properly.”
The White Star stabbed his sword toward the silver shield.
The silver shield broke apart.
It broke apart too easily.
“This is a Sword of Disasters infused with fire.”
The White Star seemed to be gently teaching Cale as he laughed.
Cale and Raon had worked together in the Henituse battle to defeat the fake Dragon Slayer Syrem’s Sword of Disasters.
The White Star had an even stronger and real Sword of Disasters that had infused the fire attribute into it that easily destroyed Raon’s shield.
Cale thought about what would happen next.
“Human!”
He heard Raon’s voice out loud, but Cale just hugged that round head on his chest and created a fiery thunderbolt with his left hand.
This bastard was able to even send an ancient Dragon flying. Raon was not strong enough yet.
‘I will fight if the shield breaks.’
Crack.
Cale could see his silver shield starting to crack as the White Star’s sword touched it.
Boom boom boom.
His heart was running wild.
No, the Dominating Aura was running wild. It seemed to have eaten his fear.
The crack on the shield started to get bigger.
Cale could see the White Star smiling.
The pain on his neck was forgotten.
He can't be bothered with such thing right now.
The White Star was coming closer.
It was at that moment.
“How dare you.”
He heard a familiar voice coming from around him.
Baaaaaaaaaang!
Cale saw a white gold spear slam down on the fire sword.
“Ugh!”
The White Star groaned for the first time and moved back.
Someone positioned themselves between Cale and the White Star. That person had the white gold spear in his left hand and a white gold mana orb on his right hand.
“How dare you.”
The voice sounded angry.
“Don’t you dare touch my children.”
A pair of gold eyes glared at the White Star.
“Unless you wish to die.”
Cale could see Eruhaben standing in front of him.
There was a strand of red blood dripping down from a corner of the ancient Dragon’s lips.
