Cale continued to speak.
“There’s also a bigger issue.”
“That’s right! That reference point!”
It seemed clear that this machine would use the reference point and the grey liquid to shoot something.
“The reference point will definitely break when the machine shoots the bomb. The seal will release or break.”
Cale could understand why this device could destroy eighty percent of Aipotu.
He didn’t know everything Neo had prepared, but…
The moment the reference point is destroyed, the aura in Aipotu would mutate once again.
In that chaotic state, a large explosion of energy would start from the spot where the reference point was destroyed.
Furthermore, if this power, that seems to also have the power of chaos, explodes-
‘I don’t know about 80 percent, but a disaster will definitely befall Aipotu.’
But if, really, if he…
“…If that bastard stops time and then activates that machine?”
The children averaging ten-years-old and Choi Han were silent when they heard that.
Silence filled the area.
All of them started to picture that terrible sight in their minds.
No matter what they were thinking about, it was definitely the worst.
“Human, let’s destroy that!”
Raon quickly shouted and didn’t know what to do.
“Calm down.”
Cale calmed Raon down.
On came over and patted Raon as she spoke.
“We need the Dragon Lord gone to go in there, nya.”
It was as On said.
Lord Neo needed to disappear from the room for Cale to go inside.
‘Shit.’
But was that possible?
Cale scowled.
‘The Dragon Lord will stay in there unless it’s something big.’
He needed to look at this machine.
What else would he pay attention to other than this device that could destroy 80 percent of Aipotu?
“Human, the thing drawn inside that Grand Pavilion is a teleportation magic circle! It is an extremely large mass teleportation magic circle!”
Raon finally figured out what was on the other side of the blurry screen.
“… So that’s how it is.”
Cale could read Neo’s thoughts.
“Activate the machine and scorch Aipotu.”
While that was going on… Or maybe even before…
“Activate the teleportation magic circle to move his subordinates into his lair and then get them into the game.
Ha.”
Cale was extremely annoyed.
Swish swish.
The grey liquid filled some more.
There wasn’t much time.
However, the Dragon Lord would look toward them if they opened this door and went inside.
Then he had no idea what that guy would do.
‘Do I still go in?
I feel like I can’t just stay here doing nothing.’
Cale felt the children averaging ten-years-old and Choi Han looking at him, but he couldn’t say anything without giving it much thought.
‘Something feels iffy.’
He felt like he shouldn’t just barge in and destroy this machine.
‘Is there nothing I can do?
How can I make the Dragon Lord move?
Damn it!
It would be great if I could contact the Black Castle right now!
Should I log out and contact them?’
That seemed to be the best plan.
Cale was disappointed that he asked them only to buy him some time.
The Dragon Lord would have no choice but to leave if the others caused a shitshow.
‘Fuck.’
Cale decided to log out and deliver the information.
“Raon-”
‘Let’s go out with Raon who can use magic since I don’t know where I will end up logging out.’
“Human, what is it?! Did you figure out a way-”
“Hold on!”
Cale ended up not needing to do that.
“Human, someone is entering the room!”
Dragon Lord Neo’s room door burst open and someone rushed in.
Neo met with that person.
They could not tell what the two of them were talking about.
They couldn’t hear anything.
Honestly speaking, they were also not sure about what they were looking at because of the fluctuating barrier.
However-
“He’s coughing up blood!”
They definitely saw the man suddenly cough up blood.
The man dying in front of Neo…
Neo looked down at the man.
Cale subconsciously gulped.
He heard an extremely bright and excited voice at that moment.
“It’s poison!”
Hong shouted.
“He’s coughing blood because of poison, nya!”
“Ah.”
The corners of Cale’s lips curled up.
“They must have done it properly.”
Someone spread so much poison in the enemy base that it needed to be reported to the Dragon Lord.
Cale smiled because it was obvious who did that.
“I told them to control themselves. I never told them to go so far.”
As Cale mumbled and smiled…
* * *
“This is driving me nuts!”
Tasha caused a gust of wind despite not knowing what to do.
Swooooooosh-
The enemy castle… At one corner of it…
Tasha endlessly channeled the wind.
“The sky is green.”
Poisons that gave off green glows were being carried by the wind to spread out everywhere.
The original plan was to spread the poison in a well or underground waterways of the castle, but… They were currently spreading poison in a more active way.
Furthermore, these were much stronger poisons than they originally discussed.
“Huff. Huff.”
Although Tang Yu was breathing heavily…
Drip.
Despite blood dripping down from her mouth, she released this green aura, an aura of poisonous air that contained the Nine Kings of the Sichuan Tang Clan.
The Nine Kings.
Although putting the nine poisons that were the treasures of the Clan in her body to use it was a burden to her body…
“Hehe.”
She was laughing.
“Ugh!”
“I, it’s poison. Run!”
“No, cover your mouth fir, cough!”
Because she was able to get revenge on the one who hurt her family.
The smoke carrying poison rose even stronger as if reacting to her joy.
“Mmph!”
Tasha quickly spread the endlessly releasing green light in all directions.
They would be the ones to be harmed if they did not move this smoke.
The poisonous air did not differentiate between friend or foe. To be more accurate, Tang Yu did not have such abilities.
However, there was the person who offered up this method and was watching them.
Tasha slowly avoided Tang Yu’s bloodshot eyes and looked next to her.
Ssss, ssss.
Ron was wiping his dagger with a handkerchief.
‘An even scarier human.’
Tasha couldn’t hide her look of disgust.
Ron was the one who suggested that Tang Yu do this.
But the reason Tasha didn’t stop Tang Yu despite knowing that it was putting a burden on her body was because the reason was understandable.
‘Of course, there is the fact that Tang Yu wanted it too.’
Tasha recalled what Ron had said.
‘Their actions are weird.’
His voice had been gentle but the words were sharp.
‘These bastards look like they are ready to run away at any moment. Something feels off.’
He spoke calmly.
‘We will first need to plop down some more of them so that they cannot run away.’
He suggested with a smile on his face.
‘Matriarch Tang. Isn’t poison enough? Isn’t it enough to make the enemies not move?
Hoo hoo.”
He was laughing now. It was a vicious smile that no longer looked gentle at all.
Tasha could clearly feel why Cale kept Ron by his side as she continued to spread the green poison.
Tang Yu then peeked at her.
‘She’s working the hardest.’
Tasha was using the Wind Elemental to accurately move the green poison through the enemy territory. Tang Yu looked a bit disgusted before closing her eyes and focusing.
Eruhaben looked flabbergasted while seeing the sky above the enemy castle turn green.
“…What are those kids doing?”
Tap.
His feet landed on the castle wall.
Of course, it was not the Black Castle.
“Eek!”
He landed on top of the enemy castle.
The ancient Dragon looked down at them.
“It’s just that you guys were being so quiet that it was weird.”
Eruhaben looked at the surprised enemies, especially the stiff faces of the Dragons as he spoke.
“That’s why I just came over.”
He put down the thing in his hand.
Boom.
It was the Dragon god with the attribute of gluttony. The unconscious Red Dragon was flung down on the castle wall.
“How, how did he defeat a Dragon that consumed the foundation-”
Eruhaben laughed out loud as a Dragon stuttered to say that.
“Hahaha!”
It could not be helped.
That Dragon was strong, but…
“I’m not your regular Dragon either.”
He was a rejuvenated Dragon.
Attribute and mana…
A Dragon’s power tended to grow stronger as it aged.
That happened as long as the Dragon did not let go of what it had trained and perfected.
Naturally, Eruhaben had never let go of it.
‘In fact, I worked even harder at it in my late years.’
Then he rejuvenated.
Yes, his body became younger as well.
Eruhaben had an accurate assessment of his condition.
‘I’m not in a typical Dragon’s state.’
He was a special Dragon like the ones in front of him.
‘For someone like me to lose to a Dragon that is not one of the three Saint Dragons or the Dragon Lord?
Ha.
That’s unbelievable.’
Step, step.
He came down from the castle ledge, walked along the wall, and spoke to the enemies.
“Since you guys wouldn’t come, I had to come.”
Yes. Cale had told him just to buy him some time, but… ‘Since I made a move anyway, might as well go big?
This is buying him time too.’
Furthermore, something was weird.
‘They didn’t make a move despite how much we provoked them.’
Rasheel and Mila said so many things that would enrage the Dragons but they did not make a move.
It was as if they were waiting for something.
‘If anything, they were the ones trying to drag it out.’
In that case, shouldn’t he look into it?
Eruhaben continued to speak.
“Is the Dragon Lord in there?’
Eruhaben was smiling as he pointed at the castle.
That was why he did not see the door to the Black Castle open.
Screeeech-
The door opened and Rasheel flinched as he turned around.
“Wait, who is coming out to fight now?! There’s not even enough for me to fight!”
Rasheel, who was about to get annoyed, flinched.
“Hmm?”
“Mila-nim!”
Mila looked confused after the person called out to her.
“Rosalyn?”
“We need to deliver a message to Eruhaben-nim!”
Rosalyn had a pile of papers in her hand as she quickly ran toward them.
She spoke to Mila and Rasheel with an urgent look on her face.
“I think everybody needs to take a look at this! I looked into it with Sheritt-nim!”
Rosalyn had been tracking the Dragon Lord’s magic with former Lord Sheritt.
She had rushed out of the castle after finding out a bit about it.
“I think the Dragon Lord is trying to create the cataclysmic period! Also, it is weird that he is continuing to send mana signals inside the lair!”
The Dragons’ faces stiffened after hearing Rosalyn’s comments.
They were at a different place than Cale but they were finding answers in their own ways.
* * *
“Haha!”
‘As expected of that vicious old man!’
As for Cale, he was thinking that he was right to leave it to Ron as he laughed out loud.
Dragon Lord Neo.
He was leaving the room.
“Human, grandpa Ron truly is the best!”
“That’s right! The sky outside the window is green, nya!”
Cale could clearly see the green sky outside the window through the fluctuating barrier.
“Heh.”
He held back a laugh and spoke to Choi Han.
“Pull the door apart!”
“Yes, Cale-nim.”
Choi Han smiled innocently as he threw the door aside.
Baaaaang!
Cale saw the door be destroyed and stepped inside.
Of course, Raon was already extending a paw toward the purple mana first.
Cale walked without any hesitation because he knew Raon was there.
He would hurry inside, and…
“Let’s des, no, stop it!”
‘Life is easy when you have smart allies who know what to do.’
“Hahaha!”
Cale laughed out loud.
