“Human, I’ll break it!”
The instant the entrance door, surrounded by a locking spell, shattered with Raon’s words…
Kwaaaaaang---!
The door cracked and splintered in an instant. Raon cast the spell, and the instant it cracked…
-Sniff sniff, eek!
The Sound of the Wind, who was smelling, groaned at the unpleasant odor.
‘Chaos.’
Cale felt an energy already familiar to him from experiencing it several times. The instant he felt that, he deployed his Dominating Aura.
“Hmm.”
Sui Khan, without realizing it, looked at Cale before the shattering door, because of the energy he felt beside him. Although it was Cale’s familiar energy, which he had experienced several times… it was different.
‘It’s improved.’
It had improved far more than before. He had vaguely heard about what happened at ‘The Primordial Night,’ the Chaos God sect’s sacred place in the New World, through Clopeh Sekka. It had improved far more than before because of everything he had gone through.
“…….”
Sui Khan’s arm had goosebumps. When he first went to the gods’ world and confronted them… Why does he remember that moment now?
‘This guy-’
Sui Khan felt like laughing. Cale, this guy, has really gotten stronger. Sui Khan smiled because of an inexplicable feeling.
‘!’
But soon his expression hardened. Cale’s powerful energy, enveloping his group and dominating the space, was heading towards the broken door. That energy delicately enveloped his group, but wasn’t trying to dominate them. As if its objective wasn’t to dominate his group… As if it was trying to protect them…
“…….”
And Sui Khan realized the reason. The energy emanating from the broken door…
♩♬♪
The sound of faintly heard music…
‘It’s not music.’
It’s definitely music, but he couldn’t recognize what kind of music it was. But one thing…
‘It’s dangerous.’
The instant he heard that music, Sui Khan felt his head spin.
‘Hmm.’
He unconsciously swayed. But soon that dizziness disappeared. Cale. Because his energy, an intangible energy, was invading the space. What was in the music couldn’t penetrate that energy.
‘It must be the Chaos God’s power.’
That music must be the Chaos God’s power. Probably a Sacred Object. Cale Henituse had blocked it.
‘No.’
He didn’t just block it.
‘He’s thinking of entering.’
Sui Khan could feel Cale’s energy, as he walked past the door, invading the hallway.
Tac.
But when Cale stopped his step… Sui Khan straightened up. And looking at his back, he said:
“I’ll protect you.”
Sui Khan took the cat-shaped On and Hong into his arms. On and Hong also seemed to have felt dizziness, but seemed to be quite alright.
Step. Cale began walking again. Raon followed him. Cale didn’t look back. Sui Khan thought he knew why he was doing that.
‘He must be in a hurry.’
Because he can predict Choi Jung Soo’s situation. And…
‘He’s angry.’
He seems to know why Cale’s eyes went wild right before breaking the door. That’s why he had tried to prepare for any eventuality. But…
‘There’s no need.’
Sui Khan’s eyes also coldly deepened. If it weren’t for On and Hong, he would have followed Cale immediately. While slowly walking with On and Hong in his arms, he felt a strange sensation upon seeing Cale, who had walked quite far away.
‘…He’s reliable.’
When Sui Khan, Lee Soo Hyuk, first met Cale, he was such a thin guy that he seemed like he would break if pushed. But his eyes were so bright that they weren’t forgotten. That guy-
‘Although he’s still weak.’
He’s now very strong. So strong that Sui Khan can stay behind and look at his back.
“It’s alright.”
“You can put me down.”
Of course, that doesn’t mean he’ll only watch his back. Sui Khan put down On and Hong and walked towards Cale with them. Seeing the prison at the end of the hallway beyond his shoulder…
“…….”
Because he saw Choi Jung Soo, whose body was tied to the wall. Sui Khan’s hand was already heading towards his sword sheath.
Step step. And Cale also didn’t look away from Choi Jung Soo.
♩♬♪
The hallway that appeared after breaking the door. A hallway with many prisons on both sides. There was a prison at the end of the hallway. Although the hallway was dark, the inside’s appearance was visible thanks to the scattered lights.
♩♬♪
Choi Jung Soo was tied to the wall with iron chains. He had many wounds on his body. He didn’t seem to have serious injuries, but they seemed to be wounds inflicted for interrogation, and he probably suffered a lot of pain during the process.
‘Choi Jung Soo, this guy-’
And that guy. He’s drooling while smiling. His expression is strange. His entire body was slightly convulsing, and he seemed like he couldn’t properly speak. Moreover…
‘He has his eyes open, but he can’t see.’
Although he clearly has his eyes open, Choi Jung Soo seems unable to see anything. Because although he made eye contact with Choi Jung Soo, it didn’t seem like he saw him.
“…Why is he smiling like that?”
But he could realize that the reason that guy was smiling was Cale.
♩♬♪
Because he was smiling directly towards Cale, who was approaching amidst the music.
“…….”
Cale didn’t quicken his pace. But his energy increased.
-Yes. Let’s use it all.
Cale didn’t even hear what Dominating Aura said.
♩♬♪
The sound of the music intensified as he got closer.
-Disgusting and terrible.
The Sound of the Wind didn’t hide her disgust and her feeling of terror.
‘Yes. Right.’
This energy is truly disgusting. The instant he heard the sound of the music, the instant he felt what was in the music… Cale immediately deployed his Dominating Aura. Is it because he obtained something from the chaos power? The instant he felt this energy, Cale seemed to roughly understand what this energy was doing.
‘Chaos.’
This music made those who listened to it feel fear because of chaos. It stimulated extreme fear. Therefore, Cale immediately deployed his Dominating Aura. The Primordial Night. Like when chaos energy tried to invade the space in that sacred place… Cale extended his energy in all directions.
And he crushed the chaos energy. Without it reaching Sui Khan, On, and Hong.
‘The Chaos God sect, these guys-’
Raon, who confronted the Chaos God more than Cale, is less affected by that energy, so he won’t be affected by a God’s or a Sacred Object’s energy. But On and Hong, who are young, and team leader Sui Khan, who had weakened because of his injuries, although he didn’t know… They were almost mentally affected by chaos.
“How annoying.”
Cale walked towards the end of the hallway. There was no anger in his expression. He simply looked at Choi Jung Soo.
-Hmm.
Dominating Aura murmured softly.
-Is this what would happen if you fought the Chaos God?
Ssssh-
Dominating Aura. His power was more violent than ever.
♩♬♪
He crushed the chaos energy emanating from the music. Second underground floor. He not only dominated, but invaded the entire space of this prison. Cale’s energy touched everything in this space, and that energy crushed everything.
♩♬♪
The carousel from which the music emanated. Cale didn’t even look at that Sacred Object. He simply headed towards Choi Jung Soo.
Creak. Cale opened the locked prison door with an impassive and calm expression. There was no anger in any of his movements.
♩♬♪
Instead, Cale stopped in front of Choi Jung Soo while listening to the music.
“…Ca-”
Choi Jung Soo couldn’t properly speak. But he seemed to feel that Cale had arrived. Cale’s mouth opened:
“Yes. I’ve come.”
He looked away from Choi Jung Soo. This entire space…
♩♬♪
Although Dominating Aura had dominated the entire second underground floor, where the music was playing… Choi Jung Soo still couldn’t see Cale. He was still terrified. As if he could be consumed by fear at any moment, he was struggling on the edge of a precipice. Cale looked at someone other than Choi Jung Soo and opened his mouth:
“Is that it?”
Housekeeper Hitellis. She had a Sacred Object in each hand and was kneeling on the ground. To be exact, she was struggling not to fall. She was trembling all over her body, and her state was similar to Choi Jung Soo’s. She made eye contact with Cale.
“!”
She couldn’t even inhale.
How did this happen? What’s going on?
She couldn’t think about that. When she first received this Sacred Object. When she became this Sacred Object’s owner. At that time, for an instant, she had seen the Chaos God. To be exact, she had received his gaze. She couldn’t forget that moment. The Chaos God. It was a huge world, and she was insignificant, not even a small candle. Faced with that absolute experience, she felt fear and reverence. But why now…?
‘Am I feeling this fear?’
An energy similar to the Chaos God, but different, no, very different, was oppressing her. An energy trying to dominate her. At first, it wasn’t very strong. But it became more violent as it approached this hallway, and she felt a clear signal in it.
The man in front of her is very angry now. And she’s the target of that anger.
“You must answer.”
Cale, calmly looking at her from above… The housekeeper couldn’t say anything. But she felt she had to answer somehow. She didn’t know what would happen to her if she didn’t answer this dominator. She couldn’t think of anything because of the extreme fear.
“E, ah-”
What came out of her mouth weren’t words. Hitellis, without realizing it, began to cry. She simply wanted to ask the man in front of her for help. No. Is he really a person?
He definitely has a human appearance. But… How can a human release this energy, an energy like a god’s?
Black hair and dark brown eyes-
“!”
While she was observing his appearance, Hitellis realized. That man’s identity…
The second brother. Kase’s brother. That clumsy and scared second brother! It’s him!
“A, ah-”
Still, she couldn’t speak. Her entire body trembled, and her thoughts couldn’t continue. Because…
“Truly, the Chaos God sect isn’t afraid.”
The man approached and looked down at her, and she felt a suffocating energy oppressing her even more. Tac. Tac. Tac. Her teeth were chattering because of fear, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
“!”
That’s why. She couldn’t find a way to prevent Cale from taking the Sacred Objects from her hands. He spoke to her, made eye contact… He took the Sacred Objects… Everything was very natural, and happened in a matter of seconds. But for Hitellis, it was like an eternity.
She was powerless. She wasn’t struggling, she simply couldn’t do anything when facing his energy.
-Humph!
Dominating Aura snorted.
-You used enough power to face the Chaos God, so you can’t withstand a god! But Cale, don’t push yourself too hard! Ah, Cale, this guy has gone crazy, he doesn’t even listen to me!
Cale really wasn’t listening to Dominating Aura.
-Sniff sniff! This really must be destroyed! It’s sinister!
The Sacred Object Hitellis had in her hands. Cale took it in his hands.
“…!!”
The despair on Hitellis’s face. Seeing that, Cale loosened his grip. The Sacred Object fell to the ground.
♩♬♪
Hitellis realized the music was still coming from the Sacred Object. She had even forgotten that.
Toc. The Sacred Object fell to the ground. And that Sacred Object-
Kwaajiik!
Cale stomped on it.
Kwaajiik. Kwaajiik. He forcefully stomped on it.
♩♬♪
The music was still playing, and the eye statue was still rotating.
“Ah, seriously! Why is it so resistant!”
Cale picked up the Sacred Object and threw it against the prison wall.
Kwaang!
And he again stomped on the Sacred Object that had fallen to the ground.
‘Is it possible?’
Hitellis, although terrified, had a dazed expression at the unbelievable scene. How can he handle that Sacred Object like that? How can he touch it? No, is he really a human or a god?
Chzerec-
Finally, the Sacred Object broke. Hitellis looked at it with a dazed expression.
Chzejec-
The eye statue cracked first.
♩♬-
The music diminishes.
“Should I cut it?”
Cale shook his head at Sui Khan’s words.
“This energy is bad. If you touch it, you’ll be consumed by chaos.”
Cale, who’s using his Dominating Aura to the maximum, isn’t affected, but it was dangerous to leave it in others’ hands.
“Human, I’m here too.”
Raon, who had been calmly observing Cale’s angry expression, stealthily appeared.
Uuuung-
With a lot of mana in his two front paws…
“Oh.”
Cale nodded admiringly.
“Ji ji!”
The broken Sacred Object. Raon’s spell directly impacted the Sacred Object.
Kwaaaaaang!
With a small explosion, the Sacred Object shattered.
“Ji ji! It’s my first time breaking a Sacred Object!”
Raon was very happy and excited.
“…….”
Hitellis, now trembling all over her body and prostrate on the ground, barely raised her head to dazedly look at this. Can that precious and dangerous Sacred Object be broken so easily? What kind of existence is the second brother, Kase’s brother? She couldn’t continue thinking about anything. Because she truly seemed trapped in chaos.
And…
Step. Choi Jung Soo heard the sound of footsteps after the music disappeared. The tens of thousands of eyes looking at him… Those gazes became faint. Other eyes entered his field of vision. His body no longer trembled. The fear had also disappeared.
“Are you alright?”
Hearing that indifferent question, Choi Jung Soo could finally speak upon seeing those dark brown eyes, full of concern although they didn’t show it. With a sad expression…
“It hurts.”
Truly, although he endured it, it hurt a lot. And he wouldn’t tell that to just anyone.
“Oh dear.”
Cale sighed. Wouldn’t he tell a friend that?
“This guy doesn’t change.”
Choi Jung Soo laughed at Cale’s complaints. Because Kim Rok Soo and Cale hadn’t changed.
‘He’s gotten stronger.’
Dominating Aura. Although it wasn’t directed at him, this energy had become more violent.
“Kehuk, kek!”
Choi Jung Soo could see the enemy writhing in pain and finally losing consciousness.
‘He’s very angry.’
In these kinds of situations, Cale, Kim Rok Soo, would destroy everything. Although he was a rearguard support, he would destroy everything. Will he do the same now?
