Book 2: Chapter 210: Young Master Silver Shield, return of the legend (7)
“Hmm?”
“Hmm?”
As some people realized something was wrong…
Choi Jung Soo, who had been holding onto the terrace railing, stepped up onto the railing.
“Hey Choi Jung Soo, I told the human!”
He heard Raon’s voice followed by crown prince Alberu Crossman’s.
“Why did a wanderer suddenly appear?”
“I’m not sure, your highness. That person seems to be the wanderer-”The black dot in the sky.
That dot, which they were sure was a person, was making him feel something.
‘An existence that has escaped time and space.’
That peculiar feeling that only wanderers gave off was coming from this person.
“Choi Jung Soo.”
Choi Jung Soo heard the crown prince’s low voice but he had no time to pay any attention to that.
He did not have the time to answer the crown prince’s questions and curiosity right now.
‘I let Kim Rok Soo know so I need to go fight against that wanderer for now.’
However, he flinched after hearing the crown prince’s next words.
“Is it an enemy?”
It was a short and direct question.
Choi Jung Soo turned his head.
Alberu’s gaze was calm.
He finally remembered something.
This person he was looking at was not normal either.
“He’s definitely not an ally, your highness.”
The moment they heard Choi Jung Soo’s answer…
Tatap-!
Someone stepped on the railing and shot up into the air.
It was Sui Khan, who had turned into his bird form.
The hawk immediately shot up into the sky.
“Raon-nim, please go to Cale.”
The crown prince’s order followed behind him.
Furthermore, he opened the door and walked out as he spoke.
“I’m going to go speak to the Chancellor.”
He then looked toward Choi Jung Soo.
“It is important to get rid of that uninvited guest, but…”
Choi Jung Soo looked into Alberu’s rage-filled cold gaze.
Alberu continued to speak.
“It would be a bigger issue if chaos was caused and people got hurt. I hope you keep that in mind.”
Alberu said one more thing before closing the door all the way.
“Cale Henituse would be well aware of that.”
Choi Jung Soo’s heart calmed down a bit.
His heart, which had become rushed at the unexpected appearance of a wanderer, was a bit calm now.
He was not so dense that he would not understand Alberu Crossman’s warning not to act rashly.
“Raon.”
“Tell me if you have anything you want to say! I’ll tell our human!”
This young Dragon was sharp as well.
“The God of Death has started a full investigation on wanderers. He wants to lock down the location of all current wanderers.”
These words were immediately delivered to Cale.
“In addition, both the God of Death and I, about your hypothesis-”
The hypothesis that the wanderers might be the Five Colors Bloods…
“We find it quite reasonable and plan to use that as the foundation to proceed with the investigation stealthily.”
Both Choi Jung Soo and the God of Death accepted Cale’s hypothesis to likely be true.
“And I will be the one to defeat that wanderer.”
It was the moment he said that.
Oooooo-
The sky started shaking.
The air caused ripples and waved out with that black dot, the wanderer, at the center.
Cale stopped looking at the sky at that moment.
– Human, Jung Soo said he will go take that person down! Just so you are aware, Sui Khan went as well! As for me, I’m coming to you!
“Cale-nim.”
He heard Choi Han’s concerned voice behind him.
Cale gave him a short response.
“It’s a wanderer.”
He then looked forward.
“What the…?”
“What’s going on?”
“Who is that person?”
“What is up with the mood here? Hmm? Come on, you’re all making me anxious!”
People were starting to fall into chaos.
It could not be helped.
“Who is that person?”
“What is up with this ripple?”
“The magic barrier was pierced!”
The mood of the instructors and people in charge of the different Academic Departments did not look good.
Furthermore, people rushing over to report to them looked extremely rushed, making people feel the same anxiety despite not knowing the contents of the report.
That anxiety made people recall a certain memory.
The war that took place not just in the Roan Kingdom but throughout the Eastern and Western continents for the past few years…
The anxiety created by war made people have to live quietly in fear.
They had all been happy that the war had ended and the Roan Kingdom had gotten stronger, but… The fear and anxiety remained buried within that excitement.
Maybe they even pushed forward that excitement and joy in order to hide those fears and push forward with their lives.
People also remembered something else.
The incident that might have been the starting point of it all…
The big incident that happened in the Roan Kingdom that they had almost forgotten because things had quieted down so much…
That incident was the Magic Bomb Terror Incident at the Roan Kingdom’s capital plaza.
That terror incident was what the citizens of the Roan Kingdom believed got the Roan Kingdom twisted into all sorts of things.
“N, no way-”
An anxious person’s short little comment started to raise the level of chaos.
“What is it, what’s going on-”
“I don’t know!”
Even the oldest of Academy students were only in their late teens.
The fear in their hearts rose exponentially as they got swept up in the mood around them.
The parents of the students who came to hear the speech, which made up a large portion of all of the spectators, were more realistic and felt a deeper sense of fear.
Their advanced age allowed them to see more.
The knights who suddenly started entering the plaza…
The mages who were getting ready to continuously cast spells…
The way the people in charge were stealthily chatting with each other…
All of these things only led them to have ominous thoughts.
“…No.”
Our child is here.
It was at that moment.
Oooooo-
The sky roared again.
Another large ripple spread out.
People could feel that the black dot was not larger than before.
The existence that was extremely high up in the sky was slowly descending down.
To the ground where they were.
“That-”
They then saw some people charging toward that black dot.
“A bird?”
It was a bird and a person.
They were so quick that it was hard to tell with their eyes.
However, there were people who could not just sit back and watch.
“We must evacuate the students!”
“The rest of the guests as well.”
“There’s too many people!”
“We still have to evacuate as many people as possible!”
The people in charge were discussing with one another when they heard a noise.
Baaaaaang—!
It was an explosion that swallowed all sound for a moment.
They raised their heads.
The black dot.
The two existences that had been charging toward that uninvited guests were stopped by something and flung away.
Baaaaang—!
One person slammed into the roof of a nearby building and the roof crumbled.
‘What is going on right now?’
This unrealistic and sudden situation made people’s heads go blank.
However, they soon had to snap back to their senses.
Oooooo-
The moment they heard another ripple in the air…
The moment they became scared by that sound and curled their bodies forward…
“Ah-”
People saw a large black light.
It was a black orb that made it look as if the night sky was curled up into a ball.
The face of that orb was sparkling with white light.
Choi Han clenched his fists as soon as he saw that light.
‘…What is it?’
It felt familiar.
This power did not feel foreign at all.
The pieces of white light within this foundation of darkness…
Choi Han, who had found hope within the darkness and set it as his signpost, felt a similar feeling from this.
However, this power was similar but clearly different. Most importantly, it was more complete.
“…….”
Choi Han subconsciously stepped forward.
Someone’s sharp screech cut through the plaza at that moment.
“We need to run away!”
It was the start of chaos.
People got scared after seeing this large power.
“Please wait, everyone! Please calm down for a moment!”
“We cannot have order break down right now! Please stop!”
The administrators of the Academy tried to calm them down, but people did not listen.
This darkness that appeared in the middle of the day…
Even if there were specks of light within it, this darkness created by a mysterious individual filled them with fear.
“Move!”
“You move!”
“Please make way! We need to go get our child!”
“Fuck, what the hell is going on?!”
“I, is it another group like the White Star’s? Are they aiming for us again?”
“Fuck, this damn Kingdom never has a quiet day!”
“Our child is over there! Please don’t get in our way!”
As shouting filled the area…
Choi Han slowly turned his head.
“Sir Cale-! Sir Choi Han!”
The Chancellor rushed onto the platform at that moment.
“Please help us with the evacuation.”
Choi Han subconsciously asked.
“To where?”
The Chancellor flinched.
Where would they move this large group of people?
Especially now that the uninvited guest has already released his powers?
That black orb that was slowly getting bigger and would soon fall to the ground.
“Umm, there is a shelter we created for emergencies-”
The Chancellor’s face was pale as he answered.
The Dean of Military Science came up and spoke at that moment.
“There is a way.”
“Dean, what is it?!”
The Chancellor’s face lit up and he looked toward the Dean waiting for an answer. However, the Dean silently looked past Choi Han’s shoulder.
Choi Han figured it out and turned around.
The person who had been quiet since earlier raised his hand.
“Quiet.”
Cale Henituse’s voice filled the whole plaza through the magic amplification devices.
“Everybody, please quiet down.”
The force in his voice was amazing.
People stopped moving. They then looked at him.
They had all thought of it as well.
This was the person who stopped the Roan Kingdom’s Magic Bomb Terror Incident.
This was also the person who stopped the Indomitable Alliance, who was aiming for the Roan Kingdom.
In addition, this was the person who saved the Roan Kingdom and the entire Eastern and Western continents from the White Star.
They finally remembered it.
As for Cale-
‘Fuck.’
He was hearing Raon’s voice continuously in his mind.
– Human, Choi Jung Soo says he’s never seen this wanderer before!
– He also says that this bastard seems to have died at least a couple centuries before him!
– Oh, he says this guy seems super strong.
Hearing these reports made it so that Cale could not easily open his mouth.
Furthermore, as Choi Han mentioned, where could they evacuate so many people to in a short period of time with the enemy already here?
What he could do and what he could say was already determined.
‘Shit!
Fuck!’
He was extremely annoyed.
However, he could not let it show.
Instead, he needed to act calm.
Why?
‘… Lily.’
Lily’s face, which he had not been able to spot until now, was now visible in the distance. She was looking at him desperately while standing with the other students of the Military Science Department.
He could see Basen’s face far behind her within the group of parents.
‘Ha.’
He held back a sigh.
He couldn’t even let this short sigh out.
Everybody was looking at him.
Instead, he raised his head.
‘Now I’m certain.’
He was sure that he just made eye contact with that wanderer.
It was clear that the two of them were looking at each other.
It was at that moment.
– Cale Henituse.
It was an ambiguous voice that made it hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
There was a lot of static like a broken machine.
– Did you defeat the Huayans patriarch?
The Black Bloods of Xiaolen…
The Huayans patriarch had died in front of Cale after mentioning the Five Colors Bloods.
– You were the last person to see the Huayans patriarch.
That was correct.
He had died in front of Cale while answering his question.
Cale was able to figure out how this wanderer came to find him.
He didn’t know how it was possible, but this person had seen the memories of the Huayans patriarch, despite not even a corpse remaining behind.
– This is your warning.
This person came to warn Cale.
Thankfully, he did not come to kill him.
– Do not cross the line anymore.
It was an extremely cold and dry voice.
– Oh child of the Thames…
Cale’s maternal family was the Thames.
His maternal family was suspected of being destroyed by the Hunters.
– If you want to protect, don’t meddle.
– This is the limit of your strength.
The wanderer waved their hand.
The large black orb started falling down to the ground.
Chhhhhhhhh-
The surface of the orb started burning up.
A large ball of fire started falling to the ground.
It was directed right at the plaza.
People became chaotic again.
The Magic Education Department cast a shield.
Knights and warriors were shouting loudly.
Some of the students plopped down on the ground.
“Please don’t worry.”
Some of them heard Cale’s voice but most of them could not hear it.
Of course, everybody here had heard of Cale’s accomplishments.
Some of them had seen it through video communication devices as well.
However, none of them had personally experienced it.
Personally facing such a large ball of fire made it so that they couldn’t see Cale, or the famed Commander, or really, anything.
They could not just trust in this person.
They wanted to run away.
They just wanted to leave this place and live elsewhere.
‘Haaaa, really.’
Cale was well aware of this as well.
– Human! The crown prince and I are both prepared!
Cale thought he had no other choice when he heard Raon’s voice.
The people ready to run out to escape and the people plopped down on the ground made it feel as if things would get big even if he stopped this power.
That was why, despite not wanting to do so, he needed to be the one to say it.
He needed to calm the people down.
– Human, that power is something we can stop no problem.
As Raon mentioned, this power that was just a warning was not that burdensome for Cale.
It probably would have been, back in the time of the Roan Kingdom’s Magic Bomb Terror Incident, but…
Cale, Raon, and their friends were all much stronger now.
Ooooo–
A rumbling started from the ground.
People flinched.
A silver thread left Cale’s hand and headed toward the sky.
– The crown prince and I are both casting shields!
This time, both Raon and the crown prince were assisting him.
Baaaaaang—-
The dark red ball of fire was getting larger and larger as it swallowed the air around them.
As the ball of fire cast a shadow and covered the people in darkness…
They saw a different light.
“Ah.”
It was a silver light.
The moment they saw the light that appeared through the chaos…
The people trying to run stopped.
The Hero of the Roan Kingdom.
The Commander of the Roan Kingdom.
People looked desperately toward the man who did not know the meaning of defeat.
They wanted him to say something, anything.
No, they desperately wanted him to show them.
The Commander answered their silent pleas.
Of course, the Commander did not know that he would ever have to say these words with his own mouth.
He really did not know.
He truly did not ever want to say these words.
However, he had to say it right now.
Cale Henituse spoke to the crowd.
“The shield will not break.”
The silver shield appeared in the air.
The silver wings that were large enough to wrap around everybody in the plaza were truly beautiful.
White shields then seeped into the light of those silver wings.
The moment Cale, Raon, and Alberu’s powers fused together…
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—!
There was a loud explosion as the fiery darkness slammed into the silver shield.
