## C404
Dust is everywhere.
It's just a matter of whether it's seen or not.
'Ha.'
Cale shuddered.
The shiny, silver dust floating in front of his eyes. No, the dust.
'If Eruhaben aimed to be an assassin, he would be the best.'
The dust was stealthy.
No, it didn't even need to be stealthy.
It simply existed.
Eruhaben.
He preferred to fight by showing himself, but he also enjoyed reducing everything to dust, to nothing.
If he decided to be stealthy, Cale could glimpse the true extent of his power.
'Actually, that's why I brought him.'
Choi Han, Rosalyn, the Heavenly Demon, Raon.
They all had abilities that could be dazzling if they wanted. But Eruhaben could also do the opposite.
Exist as if he didn't exist.
He could choose any path.
'Now!'
Wanderer Cho passed Cale, who was being carried on Eruhaben's back.
When Cale hit Eruhaben's shoulder twice, he raised dust silently.
Right now.
Tap.
The moment Cale hit his shoulder once more.
Wanderer Cho's back appeared before Cale's eyes.
Especially his empty hands.
"!"
Cho stopped, startled.
The moment he felt the wave of power coming from his back, he turned his head.
A brilliant silver glow.
What he saw was a small dust.
The dust floating in the air was so small that it was hard to see, but the moment he turned his head.
The number of particles increased rapidly, creating a small galaxy.
'Hmm!'
And Eruhaben was surprised.
He hadn't fully revealed his nature yet.
Even so, Wanderer Cho turned around after detecting the presence.
'Wow.'
These Wanderers are really strong.
Eruhaben felt a chill down his spine.
"!"
Wanderer Ryeon.
She also turned her head towards the silver dust on Cho's shoulder.
These Wanderers were strong enough to detect Eruhaben's surprise attack.
If the leader of the Beast People Tribe, Gashan, hadn't appeared to distract them, it would have been difficult for Eruhaben to raise the dust secretly in front of these two.
'But the surprise attack has already begun.'
The silver dust swooped down on Cho.
But-
'He'll block it.'
These two Wanderers could easily block or dodge Eruhaben's surprise attack.
Unless,
'Cale Henituse wasn't there.'
Wanderer Cho shouted.
"You-!"
But his words didn't continue.
"!"
His eyes widened.
The moment the silver dust covered him.
'What is this?!'
He felt an enormous force.
A wave of energy enveloping him.
Wanderer Cho froze unknowingly under this pressure.
'……!'
At that moment, he couldn't think of anything.
He only felt.
As if-
'The Young Master-'
The first Wanderer.
When he met him, with his five-colored singularity.
And-
'…God!'
When he met God.
That overwhelming presence.
Before that power, a mere mortal was nothing.
The helplessness he felt at that moment and the defeat of having to bow before God.
All those memories emerged, reminding him of the moment he first felt fear.
Yes.
It's scary.
The fear hidden in the instinct of his own existence enveloped him.
Memories of all kinds of fears and anxieties emerged, plunging him into chaos.
'Ah.'
At that moment, Cho regained his composure.
"Cho!"
And he heard his sister Ryeon's voice.
"Damn it!"
Cho hastily stepped back and activated his singularity.
Fwoosh-
Fire erupted.
Terrifying flames that seemed to burn everything.
"Ugh!"
But in an instant, the price of falling into the chaos filled with fear was high.
Although it was only a few seconds.
Cho saw the dust that had already adhered to his arm, instead of the flames covering it.
A beautiful silver glow that didn't match the dust.
The dust that arrived between the wave of massive energy-
Bang!
It began to explode.
Kaboom! Bang! Kaboom!
The price of a moment of carelessness.
Distracted by the Beast People.
With someone on his back.
Ignoring that person.
Although he detected the surprise attack, he stopped for a moment due to the fear of the enormous energy.
A small lapse of time that didn't last even 10 seconds.
"Gah!"
Cho had to feel the pain as a result.
"Cho!"
Wanderer Ryeon twisted her face at the sight of the explosion on her brother's arm.
'Damn it!'
She was careless.
And she stopped for a moment.
She also flinched briefly at the enormous energy, like Cho.
But she recovered faster than him.
Because the enormous energy hadn't hit her.
It had rolled towards her, but it only aimed at her brother's arm.
Kaboom!
Another explosion occurred.
It wasn't on Cho's arm.
"You!"
Among the broken ice and smoke from the explosion that disappeared with the wind, stood Eruhaben, gracefully stepping back.
Wanderer Ryeon stared at the guard with murderous eyes.
"Fufu."
And the guard smiled as he extended his hand.
Directly towards Cho.
"No!"
Ryeon's gaze turned to Cho.
The wave of silver dust approaching to cover him again.
'No!'
Really not.
Touching Cho, it should never happen.
Born on the same day, at the same time. They died on the same day, a few seconds apart.
'This time I died before my sister, didn't I?'
Cho said that as he laughed.
Of course, he had to die first. Because he died protecting Ryeon.
Thanks to that, Ryeon died a little later than him.
And the two discovered that they were mortal after dying.
Since then, they had spent a lot of time together.
Ryeon swore one thing when she decided to live as a Wanderer.
'I'll die first.'
If there is a situation where I must die, I will die before Cho.
But now her brother was attacked.
And she's intact.
Although she is always described as calm and cold, she only shows weakness to her brother, dragged by him.
Her heart now burned with great fury.
Anger towards the enemy.
Anger towards herself for being careless.
Anger for not protecting her injured brother.
With all that anger, she used her power.
Swoosh--
The wave of silver dust.
A great coldness covered her.
In an instant, the silver dust was trapped in the ice.
As if it were a perfect sculpture, the shiny silver dust inside the wave-shaped ice was too beautiful.
"Ugh!"
Cho's groan was heard.
Ryeon moved her hand reflexively.
The next action was already decided.
Swoosh-
The ice instantly covered Cho's arm, shattered by the explosion.
"Ugh-"
When Cho's groan subsided a bit.
Ryeon's hand moved.
She was furious, but this time she wasn't careless.
Kaboom!
A large icicle.
A silver shield blocked it.
Crack-
But the icicle pierced the shield.
Behind the broken shield, Ryeon could see the guard escaping quickly.
Behind him, a servant hung as if he were unconscious.
"Let's go after him, Ryeon!"
Wanderer Cho's voice didn't elicit any reaction from Ryeon.
Although Ryeon's ice had frozen him, Cho tried to grab his almost-gone arm and follow Eruhaben.
The pain wasn't as great as the anger towards his opponent, so Cho's actions didn't falter.
"……."
But in the end, he didn't tell her to follow him.
He looked up at the sky.
"Ha!"
The barely visible sky between the leaves of the tall trees.
Rumble-
The sky turned dark red.
No, dark red clouds covered the sky.
And from those clouds-
Crack, crack!
Red and golden lightning began to fall.
Wanderer Ryeon opened her mouth.
"We've been caught."
Kaboom! Bang! Kaboom!
Dozens of fires and lightning fell immediately.
The jungle was ravaged.
The explosions and dust made the area almost invisible.
Swoosh--
But soon, with a gust of wind, the explosions calmed down.
In the center of where all the attacks were falling, Wanderer Cho opened his mouth.
"…Ryeon."
The explosions had to stop.
Fire.
Lightning.
Trees.
Grass.
All the attacks aimed at Cho and Ryeon.
All living creatures around Cho and Ryeon.
Everything froze.
"……."
Everything around Wanderer Ryeon froze.
The fire and lightning had already been consumed.
She waved her hand slightly.
Crack-
The ice cracked.
Everything covered by the ice broke.
Like the silver dust.
Everything turned to dust and fell to the ground.
"……."
Wanderer Ryeon didn't say anything.
Cho saw it and finally couldn't contain his anger and kicked the ground.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
He couldn't contain his anger.
Ryeon stared in the direction where the guard had disappeared.
He was already gone.
Well, he only needed a moment to destroy Cho's arm, so a moment would be enough to escape.
"Ryeon! Let's go after that damn guard right now!"
"…We've been caught."
"Ryeon!"
When Cho's voice went up.
Ryeon looked at him and opened her mouth.
"We've been caught."
The moment she saw her cold, transparent eyes, Cho stopped.
He realized that Ryeon was very angry.
So angry that her eyes turned.
Gulp.
Cho unconsciously swallowed.
The pain in his arm was forgotten for a moment.
Because Ryeon with those eyes not even the five-colored ones of the Transparent Blood Family could stop her.
Meanwhile, Ryeon murmured softly.
"From the Beast People, everything was a trap."
"Yes!"
At her words, Cho was finally able to remember the Beast People.
Ryeon looked around.
The Beast People had disappeared without a trace.
'We might think they ran away when they saw us fighting.'
But they disappeared too stealthily.
They appeared suddenly, disappeared silently.
All this seemed to be planned.
'Also, when the guard escaped, magical attacks suddenly fell.'
In addition, a singularity was felt in the sky from where the magical attacks fell.
Although it seemed newly made and incomplete, at least it seemed to be purple level.
And those powers weren't at their peak.
Only a few seconds.
Just enough to keep the two Wanderers busy.
"Ha, haha-"
Wanderer Ryeon laughed as she looked at the clear sky from the ground where everything had frozen, broken, and melted.
Cho watched her and stopped when Ryeon looked at him again.
"Cho."
Ryeon approached and grabbed his arm.
"Are you alright?"
At those words, Cho replied bravely.
"I can live without an arm."
He meant it.
Cho always thought that one day he would get hurt.
And if he asked the Family to do something to replace his arm, that would be it.
He pointed to his shoulder.
"They could cut below the shoulder."
"……."
Ryeon said nothing and looked at Cho's arm.
She then opened her mouth.
"Did you feel it?"
Cho looked into Ryeon's eyes.
Still cold and transparent eyes.
There was tremendous anger in them.
'Wow.'
Ryeon's eyes turned.
Although Cho knew it, unfortunately, he was also very angry.
"Yes, I felt it. Did you too?"
"Yes."
Ryeon continued in a cold tone.
"The power that can pressure us, that chaotic energy mixed with fear, there's only one."
Her gaze turned towards the depths of the jungle.
"The God of Chaos."
The guard.
He was ultimately a pawn of the God of Chaos.
They should have suspected more, but the price of carelessness was her brother's arm.
Ryeon was about to go crazy with anger.
But her voice was calm.
"In the end, the God of Chaos betrayed us."
Cho expressed his anger directly.
"How dare he stab us in the back?"
The God of Chaos, an ancient god.
It didn't matter that he was a god, Cho couldn't forgive him for betraying the Five-Colored Family.
How dare he stab us in the back?
He could never allow it.
Ryeon said calmly.
"There's no other option."
In this situation, there's no other option.
With the betrayal of the God of Chaos confirmed, what else could they do?
Cho frowned at Ryeon's reaction and raised his voice.
"What do you mean there's no other option? We're going to destroy him! We already found a way to destroy the ancient gods!"
Ryeon patted his back.
"Calm down. Let's leave that part to the family's decision."
"Just let it go?"
"No."
Ryeon smiled softly.
There's no other option.
There really is no other option.
"There really is no other option. There's nothing we can do."
She made a decision.
"We're going to destroy everything and show them how wrong they were to choose the God of Chaos."
"Ryeon!"
Cho's face lit up.
Ryeon decided what she would do next.
"Let's destroy the sanctuary first."
And she added.
"And let's kill the bastard who did this to you."
The entrance to the sanctuary?
Enter carefully?
No need.
They already know the approximate location of the sanctuary.
"Cho, don't exert yourself too much, I'll take care of it."
Ryeon decided to destroy everything around the sanctuary and the sanctuary itself.
Ssss---
The cold surrounded the furious woman.
Ready to freeze everything in an instant.
"Kukuku, that's not good. I'm very angry too. I must collect the price for my arm."
And Wanderer Cho was furious too.
They had to kill whoever attacked and hurt him.
The Cult of the God of Chaos.
They're finished.
"Here it is."
Upon finding the mark, Cale stopped the acceleration magic and slowed down.
Tap, tap.
Eruhaben entered the cave and soon could see his companions.
"Did you arrive?"
Alberu, Rosalyn, the Heavenly Demon, and Gashan.
They were all cleverly hiding in the cave.
'Hmm?'
Eruhaben felt that his companions' gazes were strange at that moment.
"Haha!"
He heard Cale's voice behind him.
"Hello everyone!"
Cale's cheerful, excited voice.
He was hanging off Eruhaben's back, moving his feet.
And he raised his hand to calmly wave.
"Ah."
Eruhaben realized that he had been carrying Cale the whole time in his hurry.
This guy's fine. I could have let him come on his own.
"Come on, let's go to the Primordial Night and see how the Cult of the God of Chaos and the Wanderers beat each other up!"
And Cale was very excited.
"Fufu."
Finally, everyone who had been bothering him, making him vomit blood and faint, were fighting each other!
How could he not be excited?
'And the sacred object.'
And Choi Jung Gun.
He could also save everyone while watching his enemies beat each other up and secretly collect everything.
"Fufufu."
Cale was very happy.
"Cale."
At that moment, Eruhaben called him in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Cale replied enthusiastically.
"Get off."
"Ah-, yes."
Cale quickly got off the Ancient Dragon's back.
He finally realized that he had been hanging off his older companion's back for too long.
