Adalie pouted a little as she played the next scene, feeling it unfair that she couldn't even have a break or something similar. Don't they know it was stressful and tiring to play the episodes?! Besides, Pandas deserve rest, too! Well, not like she could voice out her opinions without risking her life. Now she understands why TCF! Cale kept saying the word 'vicious' when describing his family. They were extremely scary!

Chapter 113: Great and Mighty (1)

– Cale!

Cale could hear Raon's voice in his head.

"You called me by my name?" TCF! Cale asked in surprise as he glanced at his... son on his lap. With how often people were telling him that he was the father of the three children, he started being fine with it. Maybe even liked it. "Shame I didn't hear it."

"Shut up, Human!" Raon exclaimed with a small blush on his chubby cheeks which turned brighter when his two cat siblings began teasing him.

"You shouldn't call him by his name, nya~" Hong started with a teasing grin.

"Yeah, you should call him Dad!" On finished with the same smile.

"D-don't tease me!" Raon whined as many chuckled at the cute yet funny scene in front of them. It made them almost forget what kind of scene they were in. Almost. 

He was in pain.

Many winced at the statement stated by TCF! Cale's thought, feeling annoyed that they let him feel that. 

He had never felt this much pain ever since he came over to this world.

"Then... does that mean you felt such pain before you came to this world, Oraboni?" TBOAH! Lily tentatively asked, flinching a little when everyone's eyes turned to her before shifting to the thoughtful looking TCF! Cale.

"Hmm, I think I did." TCF! Cale said with a shrug. However, when he saw the worried looks on their faces, he decided to say something to calm them down. "It's exaggerating, though, since it wasn't that painful."

He didn't understand the looks he was given but was afraid to ask in case they say/do something to him like scold him again. 

"Ugh."

The black blood continued to drip down through his fingers and onto the castle wall. He could not stand up straight, as he continued to spit out blood.

"Are you sure your pain tolerance is okay?" Rasheel asked with a tint of worry in his voice. "Because even I know that is extremely painful and that's only by looking at it."

"Of course it's alright." TCF! Cale said with a frown. "Besides, I think everyone here knows I am the one who hates pain the most here so shouldn't I be the most sensitive regarding pain?" 

"Um, Cale-nim, hating pain and having a messed up pain tolerance are two different things." TCF! Choi Han said with a hesitant look. 

"No it isn't." TCF! Cale said with a raised brow. "I mean, isn't it common sense that the more sensitive you are with pain, the more you hate it?"

"Yes, but it seems that common sense doesn't apply to you." TCF! Alberu said with a princely smile. "How are the statements 'black blood continued to drip down' and 'could not stand up straight' equal to 'I'm alright'?

TCF! Cale didn't answer. Partly because of the looks he was getting and partly because the prince made sense.

In the side, the vitality of heart was grieving for his lost freedom. 

'Why do I have to work this hard?' he thought with tears in his eyes. 'I'm dead!'

"Cough."
"Ca, Cale-nim!"

A hand quickly grabbed onto the hunched over Cale. It was Choi Han. Choi Han subconsciously tried to stand Cale up after seeing Cale look like he was about to fall off the wall. However, there was someone preventing him from doing so.

"Stop."
"...What is it?"

Choi Han and Ron made eye contact. Ron continued to speak with a cold expression on his face. However, the corners of his lips were pale.

TBOAH! Cale, however unwilling, felt his heart throb a little at the worried expression of Ron on the screen. How long ago was it since he saw Ron worried for him? Was there even a time that he was? As the episodes go on, it was obvious that no one cared for him. Not his father, not his servants, and especially not his butler with his son. He was the unlovable trash of the estate who only managed to gain love when another person took charge of his body and, wasn't that just so damn depressing? 

"Cheer up." Rok Soo whispered to him. "You'll be happy soon. No, aren't you already with us?"

"I am." TBOAH! Cale agreed with a small smile, the dull pain in his heart disappearing. 

'I just hope it won't be taken away from me again.' TBOAH! Cale thought. 

"What will you do if the blood goes down the wrong pipe?"

Choi Han let go of Cale. At that moment, Choi Han could see a bloody hand grabbing his arm. It was Cale.
Cale looked toward Choi Han and Ron with a pained expression.

"I've never seen young master Cale this wounded before." Paseton whispered in pain, not being able to bear seeing the one who rescued him experiencing the same, or probably worst, pain. 

"H, hurry up and- ugh."

'This damn blood!'

"Young master-nim, I don't think cursing the blood would do anything." TBOAH! Hans said with a slight sweat drop.

 "It makes me calmer." TCF! Cale said blankly. "Isn't that normal? Cursing something to feel better although it is useless?"

"Guilty." many said, some with a shrug while others with a shy smile.

Blood continued to fill his mouth, preventing him from speaking properly.

'Why is the blood not stopping?'

Many looked worried at this, knowing that if the blood doesn't stop soon, he would die. And, although they were with him now, it couldn't soothe their fears.

He was in so much pain after the fire thunderbolt had landed. However, he was no longer in pain after about a minute, as the Vitality of the Heart started to heal him.

Here, the vitality of the heart gave another choked sob as the shield comforted him. Those around them stared at the heart in pity, seeing how overworked the poor power was. 

"I really shouldn't approach him with a condition that I would work for him, huh." TCF! Bud whispered to TCF! Glenn who only nod. He might argue with his alcoholic friend many times but he doesn't wish for said friend to suffer like the power was. 

Adalie, who heard them by chance, stared at TCF! Bud in pity. 'Oh, if only you know what your future self signed up for.'

However, there were still two problems. First, he still continued to cough up blood, and second...

'So hungry.'

"Huh?" TBOAH! Choi Han accidentally said out loud. 

"Um, young master Cale, are you okay?" TBOAH! Billos asked. "The second part seemed so random."

"Ah, being hungry is one of the side effects of overusing my ancient powers" TCF! Cale explained before recalling the times he didn't overuse it but still got hungry. "Or, well, using my powers in general."

He was hungry and felt like he had used up all of the energy in his body. He felt like he had been starving for a few days. It was similar to the pain that Kim Rok Soo had felt prior to getting used to not having food for long periods of time.

TCF! Cale just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, hoping that no one would call him out. Unfortunately, no one was on his side and he was swarmed with questions.

"Cale-nim, what does this mean?" TCF! Choi Han asked with a deadly aura.

"You unlucky bastard, if this means what I think it is..." Eruhaben left his threat hanging. 

"Young master-nim, should I ask my son to bring you some food?" TBOAH! Ron asked his other world puppy. 

"Human, what does that mean?" Raon asked while looking at his dad. "Were you starved by bad men like stupid Venion?"

"Nya, were you kicked out of your house?" Hong asked with worry as On only rubbed her head against TCF! Cale's leg.

"You never mentioned this to us, Cale." Soo Hyuk said with a frown as Jung Soo nod in complete seriousness.

"Okay." TCF! Cale decided to address the issue because his family was getting worried. "That was a long time ago when I was still a young Kim Rok Soo. Besides, it wasn't that bad. Sure, I starved for some days but it never goes longer than three."

"Next time you try cheering people up, don't." Mila advised TCF! Cale who only looked confused as to why the people in the room became more frustrated.  

"Choi Han ... hurry and go!"
"What are you saying, Cale-nim?! We need to take care of your first!"

"Yes, you need to cure your injuries first." Taylor agreed with a worried look. 

'Go bring me some bread. I'm so hungry.'

That was what Cale was trying to say, but Choi Han's vicious gaze made him say something else.

"Understandable." TBOAH! John nod when he saw the look Choi Han was showing in the screen. "I'm surprised you still managed to speak. That glare is extremely frightening."

"Go take care of the tamer. Hurry up."

"You should have told me you were hungry, Cale-nim." TCF! Choi Han said with a frown. "I could have gotten you some bread or ask someone to."

"The battle's more important." TCF! Cale answered. "Besides, a little hunger wouldn't kill me."

'But the vicious gazes you people have on me would.' TCF! Cale silently thought with a small shiver. Seriously, he doesn't understand what was happening. Why were they all glaring at him like he did something wrong when he said all the right things! One example would be how he prioritized the mission instead of his hunger. After all, if they stopped and fed him, wouldn't more animals and people/elves die? They should win the fight first before anything. Besides, as he mentioned before, he can handle a little hunger.

At that moment, Cale heard someone screaming.

Thankfully, Adalie muted the screaming part for them. Yes, for them. It was definitely not because she grew annoyed at it herself.

"Aaaaaaah! My, my skin!"

It was an old man's voice. He was certain that it was the tamer. However, Cale could not see what was going on, as he was hunched over and coughing up blood.
But he could still hear the screams, as well as the scent of burnt flesh.

Many winced again. Seeing him coughing blood was bad enough but learning that he could still sense everything around him? They wished they could do something to ease his pain but this was all in the past and all they could do was watch with bleeding hearts.

However, Choi Han could see what was going on.

The location that the red light had struck was burnt black with a large fire continuing to roar. He could not see any lifeforms above the fire.

The range of the thunderbolt was very wide. The secret organization members who were in the rear were all gone without a trace.

"How strong." TBOAH! Shawn murmured before glancing at TCF! Cale. "Like what they say, the stronger you are, the worse the consequences will be."

"How much more does he need to suffer?" TCF! Mary whispered sadly, not wanting to see her savior suffer so much. 

"My, my baby soft skin! Ahhhh!"

"No one cares about your baby skin, fucking idiot!" TBOAH! Adin exclaimed in anger. "Are you really part of Arm and not some wannabe?!" 

Choi Han's gaze turned cold. The tamer and magic spearman must have succeeded in using blink, as they appeared from outside of the thunderbolt's range.

"A shame." TCF! Basen whispered with a sad sigh.

But they seemed to still have been affected by it, as the magic spearman's brown hair was all burnt and his spear was gone. He also seemed to have gotten burnt on his right hand.

"Kill, kill them all! It hurts, it fucking hurts!"

"People should learn when to retreat when the enemies' too powerful." TBOAH! Valentino said with a sigh. 

"Their ego stops them." the dragon half blood said with a small frown.

"Isn't that better?" TBOAH! Cale said to no one in particular. "Prideful people like those bastards deserves to die before they pollute the world any longer."

However, the magic spearman was not as hurt as the tamer. The blink must have gone wrong, as the tamer had a deep injury in his arm and his face was burnt.

"Amazing." TBOAH! Clopeh whispered with stars in his eyes. "Cale-nim is so strong!"

Choi Han remembered what Cale had said before they headed over to the Elf Village.

'I earned an ancient power and I want to try it out. So, everybody retreat to the back once we get to the wall.'

It was an amazing power. Even he could not create such damage with a single blow. That was why Choi Han understood why the Elves were standing there with a blank expression.

"I mean, who wouldn't?" TCF! Hannah said as she and the others went back to their original seats and out of the timeout corner. "That's one heck of a power his skinny body doesn't look like it possesses. I mean, who would expect something like that to come out of that body where there is little to no muscles?"

"What are you doing? Hurry up and go."

Choi Han turned his gaze after feeling a tug at his arm. He could see that Cale's gaze was still calm, even though he could not stop coughing up blood. His eyes seemed rational.
He was telling Choi Han to go while coughing up blood.

"Hurry up and go. Are you going to let the animals continue to suffer like this?"

"Hyung/Oraboni." both versions of Basen and Lily said with tears in their eyes.

Cale was clenching onto Choi Han's arm with what seemed to be a lot of strength based on the veins on the back of his hand, but there was no power in the grasp. That made Choi Han's expression become even stiffer.

'He was like this in the capital too.'

Choi Han was thinking about how Cale always put himself in danger in order to save others. Cale always tried to do the difficult things himself, even if he would suffer in pain like this.

TCF! Cale just blankly looked at TCF! Choi Han with a raised brow. 

'What the fuck did he mean?' he wondered. 'I just wanted to quickly finish the battle so I can rest already. Although, it is good if I can save some animals with it.'

Who cares if the power is strong when it causes this much pain?

However, Choi Han understood Cale's feelings. At that moment, Choi Han heard Cale's voice in his ear.

"Only you can do it."

Cale could see Choi Han removing his hand from his shoulder.
Choi Han really was the only one who could do it.
Cale thought about making Raon do it, but Raon was a bit odd right now.

"What do you mean odd?" Sheritt asked in worry while looking at her son who only looked at her with a cute smile.

Raon's voice was consistently echoing in Cale's mind.

– T, this! B, blood!

'What is he trying to say?'
Raon could not speak properly, instead, he just continued to say that over and over.

"He's obviously worried about you, young master Cale." TCF! Obante said with a voice that sounds similar to a teacher teaching a child. 

At that moment, Cale heard Choi Han's voice.

"I will come back soon."

Choi Han did not wait for Cale's response before disappearing.

Aaaah! Ugh!

Cale soon heard a lot more screams. It was most likely Choi Han's work.

Many shuddered at how vicious TCF! Choi Han was being but some marveled his strength.

"Go, Choi Han!" Raon cheered. "Beat those shits up!"

"Go, nya~" Hong said next. "Fuck them up!"

On stayed silent as she looked at the adults in the room who was glaring at a nervous TCF! Cale and sighed, pitying their new father. 

Cale wiped off the blood in his hands and put some strength into his legs. He then quickly gave an order.

"Ron, dead mana."
"...Yes sir."

Ron's left arm, which was made by the necromancer Mary, was able to collect dead mana because it was not alive. Cale was planning on selling this precious dead mana to the Dark Elves and the crown prince.

'I can't give up this free money.'

Cale hated working for free.

"You... haha..." TCF! Alberu couldn't believe the sight he was seeing. "You're already on the verge of fainting yet you still thought about things you could sell to earn more money?!"

"Of course your highness." TCF! Cale nod with a smile. "Why would I waste any extra income I can get my hands on?"

"I don't know if you're super smart or extremely stupid." Dodori said while looking at TCF! Cale with a mixture of awe and dumfounded.

Cale put in a lot of effort in turning his head. He was so hungry that even doing this was difficult right now.

Both Beacrox frowned, not liking that someone who was under his wing starved. It was like insulting him as a no good chef.

He could see Lock and the kittens.

"Go."

Although it would be normal for them to flinch after hearing Cale's indifferent voice, Lock immediately jumped off the wall and started to run behind Choi Han. On and Hong, who had been in Lock's arms, headed toward Cale.

Meeeeeeow.
Meeow.

They tried to rub their bodies on Cale's legs. However, Cale avoided them. He didn't want the black dye to come off their bodies. Cale tapped them with his now clean hand to urge them on. On and Hong meowed a few more times before revealing their fangs and following behind Lock.

"Aww, kitten-nims are worried about young master-nim!" TBOAH! Hans cooed as some looked at him blankly.

'Did he remove the second part where they revealed their fangs from his imagination or something?' they thought. 'It might be cute but seeing them kill others is not.'  

Cale watched them leave before he slowly raised himself up. He could finally see the bottom of the wall.

'Hmm?'

Cale flinched, and his sight became blurry for a moment. Whether it was because he had spent all of his energy or because the sight in front of him was shocking, Cale staggered to the side.

"Cale/young master-nim/ Cale-nim/unlucky bastard!" many people shouted in worry as some even started clinging on him like the kids.   

'Was the Fire of Destruction this strong?'

"Kakaka, of course not." the fire of destruction laughed while shaking his head. "I'm way stronger than that!"

"He is, as much as I want to deny." Super Rock said with a small sigh as many looked at the fire in fear. If he was that powerful without even reaching his full potential, how strong was he if his power was at its peak? 

He could see the fire on top of the scorched ground.
The results of using the Fire of Destruction at full power was beyond what Cale had expected.

Cale started to think as he staggered.

'This is pretty good.'

It was worth the two hundred thousand silver coins.

Many flinched as forgotten/sealed memories tried resurfacing again in their minds. In particular, one where gold and silver makes a pathway.

However, contrary to his satisfaction, Cale could not put any strength in his body. He did not even have the power to stop himself from falling backward.

"Young master-nim!"
"Shit!"

Pendrick and Beacrox reached their arms out to catch him. However, Cale did not fall, even though they did not manage to reach him.

– No! Cale! You cannot fall down!

Cale could feel a head supporting his back. It was the Black Dragon, Raon.

"Aww!" many cooed at how cute the dragon was, trying to carry the heavy body of TCF! Cale. Granted, he wasn't heavy at all but the dragon was small so the weight multiplies for him.

He could feel Raon's round head on his back as his back started to get wet. Raon seemed to be crying.
Cale started to frown.

'This is bad.'

"Why?" TBOAH! Jack asked in confusion.

The Dragon had descended. 

"Oh." many realized why.

Cale looked toward the Elves behind Pendrick. They were all still blankly staring below the wall. However, two Elves, the Guardian Knight and the Chief, who had come much closer, slowly turned toward Cale.

At the same time, the Elementals next to the two Elves, a half-transparent Blue Elemental and a White Elemental, both started to shake in fear.

"Cale-nim, are you okay?"

Pendrick's hand was covered in a white light. It was his healing power. Pendrick's hand immediately headed for Cale's back, but it ran into something invisible.

"What the?"

Pendrick mumbled in shock.

'Just a Dragon's body.'

Seeing an opportunity, TBOAH! Cale and Rok Soo started another act to tease their brother.

"What was that?" TBOAH! Cale asked, pretending to be Pendrick.

"Oh, you know, just a dragon I happen to have the pleasure of being accompanied with." Rok Soo, acting as TCF! Cale, nonchalantly said. "Got any bread?"

"A-a dra...gon?" TBOAH! Cale stuttered in awe, quickly kneeling down in front of Raon who looked very happy to be included. "Oh, dragon-nim, I am not worthy of ap- cough!"

Just like before, TCF! Cale shut TBOAH! Cale up but this time by shoving an entire apple pie slice in his mouth. He grabbed another one from Raon and glared threateningly at Rok Soo who whistled innocently.

"The three of you will make good actors." Soo Hyuk said with a small smile as Jung Soo whined about how he wanted to be part of it, too.  

Cale started to speak to Pendrick in order to divert his attention. Cale was not bleeding like before, but a small amount of blood was still seeping out of the corner of his mouth.

"Once we get rid of the tamer, I think it will be better for the Elves to take care of the animals. They have lived with all of you for a long time."

Pendrick stopped moving. He looked toward Cale and was at a loss for words after seeing Cale's calm demeanor. He finally understood why Cale had not used that red thunderbolt, the power that he needed to sacrifice his own strength to cast, on the animals.

He was feeling sorry for the animals.

He had proceeded with this difficult and painful method so that the Elves, who had been living in harmony with the animals for a long time, could peacefully say goodbye to them.

No one said anything, understanding that Pendrick misunderstood TCF! Cale's intentions.

Cale ignored Pendrick's gaze and started to think about how he had to do all this even though he was starving. Cale looked back down at the bottom of the wall.

"Haaaa."

Pendrick could see Cale let out a sigh-like laugh as he looked at the battlefield.

"I picked a difficult path."

Choi Han and the rest were fighting very well. Cale could see Choi Han's black aura cut through the tamer's stomach.

"B, blood! Brown! Come protect me!"
"Shit!"

Bang!

Choi Han nimbly dodged the magic spearman's sword. The magic spearman had taken a sword from one of his subordinates in order to be able to attack, as his spear had been destroyed by Cale's thunderbolt.

"I'm already busy because of those blonde twins! Why are these bastards always getting in my way?!"

Many turned to glance at TCF! Hannah and TCF! Jack, even their own counterparts. 

"Are they talking about you?" TBOAH! Hannah asked bluntly. 

"Yes." TCF! Hannah also answered without any sugarcoat in her words.

However, before the conversation can be deeper, Adalie interrupted them and started the show.

The magic spearman swung his sword in a way that looked like he wanted to vent his frustration, however, his attacks did not manage to land on Choi Han. Cale looked away from the indifferent Choi Han to see the others, who were also fighting. With him not there, Lock, the kittens, and even Ron were like fish in water.

Actually, vicious might be a better word to describe it.

All of them were fighting without holding back. The battlefield was filled with blood.
Cale got scared at the sight and repented.

'I stepped in for nothing.'

Yes, there was no need for him to do that. He chose the difficult path for no reason.

"Actually, the answer is yes and no." TBOAH! Witira commented. "Yes, they would destroy the enemies but not to that extent. They only did that because you bled a lot and wanted revenge."

'You sure they aren't just bloodthirsty?' TCF! Cale thought but kept it to himself. He had a feeling he would get disappointed looks for who knows why.

Looking at his present situation after stepping up to test the power of the, 'Fire of Destruction.' Cale regretted his actions. All he had to do was use these experts under his command.

"Stupid." TBOAH! White Star scoffed. "You have to use whatever you have at your disposal. If not, it will all go to waste."

"I don't want to hear that from someone who couldn't even manage to gather stronger allies." TCF! Cale said with a mocking tone.

"Of course I have stronger allies!" TCF! White Star decided to interrupt before glaring at Adalie. "Where the fuck are my two other allies? They aren't here so I want them now."

"Maybe later if I feel like it." Adalie said with a shrug. "Anyway, let's continue watching TCF! Cale's group ruining your plans."

Cale found it difficult to even stand there without any strength. He wanted to go to sleep. Although he was not in pain, he really wanted to eat.

This was the first time he felt like he was going to faint after receiving the Vitality of the Heart.

"Human, let's work hard to eradicate the White Star and rest after!" Raon exclaimed. 

"Okay." TCF! Cale easily agreed, liking the idea as the others looked determined to give him his wish as fast as possible.

Pendrick, who had misunderstood Cale's bitter smile for a different reason, hesitated multiple times with a complicated expression on his face before finally starting to speak.

People looked at the blushing Pendrick in pity, understanding how he misunderstood the young master. 

"...We will never forget your and everyone else's benevolence, young master-nim."

However, Cale could not respond to Pendrick's statement.

"You crazy bastards!"

Beacrox, who had approached Cale, shouted loudly as he swung his longsword. Cale, who quickly turned around, could see a white bandage in front of him.

It was the assassin, Number 1.

He seemed to have run forward without looking back while the red thunderbolt struck down. He was so stealthy that he managed to get by Beacrox without getting noticed.

"Tch." TCF! Beacrox tched with an annoyed frown. "There will not be any next time."

Cale made eye contact with the eyes visible underneath the bandage. At that moment, he heard an angry voice in his head. The voice sounded like it had been crying.

– I'm going to kill him.

With that, the white bandage flew backward. Cale blankly stared at the individual that got thrown back without even touching him.

Beacrox did not need to swing his longsword. Raon had used his strength. The white bandage that was floating in the air tried to move in fear, but he could not do anything.

"Uh oh." Maes said with a frown. "Dragon-nim is angry."

"Oh well, if he dies, at least he can say that he died because of a dragon." Taylor shrugged. 

"True." TCF! Cage agreed. "I mean, can you imagine someone asking him how he dies and he replies 'Oh, I pissed off some dragon who killed me'."

"They'd think he's either stupid or brave." TBOAH! Cage joined their conversation. "Probably the former one, though."

"W, what is this? You're a mage?"

"Are you fucking stupid?!" TCF! White Star exclaimed in frustration. "You've fought them for a while already and have you seen him use magic even once?! For goodness sake, do you even think he, with the bloody body, can cast any magic?!"

TBOAH! White Star was already planning on changing the entrance test in order to gain less stupid slav- allies.

Cale thought about his answer, but did not say it out loud.

'No, a Dragon.'

A vicious voice continued to speak in his head.

– I will never forgive any of them.

Cale wondered who the, 'them,' Raon was talking about was.

"Who wants to examine this dense bastard's head to see how it is possible for someone to be as oblivious as him, raise your hand." Jung Soo said with numerous hands raising up. TCF! Cale just looked at them in disbelief, especially when his children also joined in. 

'I'm not that oblivious, though.' TCF! Cale thought with a frown. 'Am I?'

– Human, I will not appear, just like you asked. However, in return, do not look. It will be difficult for a weakling like you to watch.

"He might be weak but I don't think he's weak enough to faint over some blood, dragon-nim." TBOAH! Adite said as she remembered the times he passively stared at the gory scenes in front of him before whispering softly. "Especially when he has the power even the World Tree-nim fears."

Cale happily did as Raon asked. He made sure to say something, just in case Raon went crazy.

"Okay, I'm going to take a nap."

Cale closed his eyes.

He didn't have any strength to even keep his eyes open anymore. Cale felt the round reptile head and paws supporting his body as he fell asleep.

Here, many made sure to close their eyes and ears, knowing what was about to happen.

"Aaaaaaaaaahh!"

A pitiful scream echoed in the valley.

Bang!

It sounded like something blew up. In fact, it sounded like a human body blew up. Cale debated whether he should open his eyes and watch. However, he had given them orders prior to their arrival at the Elf Village. With the victory in their grasps, he knew that these people, who were all stronger than him, would take care of everything.

"They will." TBOAH! Valentino commented with a sick face. "And, yes, it was a human body that blew up. Multiple, actually."

"We didn't need to know that." TCF! Valentino told his other self who only smirked a little.

"I suffer, you suffer." TBOAH! Valentino simply said.

"A great and mighty being's protection......!"

Cale lost consciousness after hearing this new voice. He felt like his body was slowly being laid down as he prayed.
He prayed that he could have at least one slice of bread when he woke up.

"We'll eat after this, okay unlucky bastard?" Eruhaben said with narrowed eyes towards TCF! Cale who only nod, feeling hungry himself.

***

However, when Cale woke up, he was laying in an extremely beautiful, almost to the point of overwhelming, flower garden. There was even a weird leaf crown on his head.

It was a crown made from the World Tree's leaves.

Cale was nervous at what might be going on.

Many looked at him in shock, especially the dark elves who knew how sacred the leaves of the World Tree was to the elves.

"Okay, time to eat you all~" Adalie said before disappearing, not wanting to join in on their... meal especially if it consists of a couple of angry dragons and overprotective friends. 

'They won't do anything extreme.' Adalie thought with a whistle. 'Probably.'
