Trash of the Count’s Family

eru turned his head to see Cale who was floating in the air with Raon’s flight magic and being supported by Raon’s chubby front paws.

Alberu stood up straight and smiled elegantly as he asked.

“…Where do we need to go?”

“The basement of the temple.”

“Let’s go, human!”

Raon started moving Cale with magic.

Cale looked around as they headed toward the basement of the temple.

‘What a mess.’

There were fights and explosions happening all over.

It was hard to see things as, instead of the typical brightness during the day, there was dust and debris from explosions all around them.
Furthermore, the fire that started as the temple broke down made things look quite vicious.

Cale was walking through there while floating with magic as if he was on a walk.

Nobody stopped them.

No, they could not stop them.

Of course, there were people who were wandering and not fighting who made eye contact with Cale.
However, they were the followers of the White Star that neither the allies nor the enemies cared about.

These followers were unable to look at Cale properly, probably more than anybody else.
They were showing fear that was incomparable to the hostility they had shown toward him at first.

He was the person who had taken down the White Star, someone who they saw as pretty much a god.

“I won’t let you!”

Cale heard Raon’s voice and saw a black shield appearing in the air.

Baaaaaaaaaang—!

There was a loud explosion and the White Star swung his fire sword infused with natural disaster from the other side of the breaking black shield.

Bang!

There was a small explosion and gold dust stopped his path.

Eruhaben was to the back and Mila was to the right.
They were attacking to kill the White Star from different directions.

The White Star and Cale made eye contact at that moment.

“Pffft.”

Cale chuckled and looked away from the White Star.
He then made eye contact with Alberu.

“That bastard is done for, your highness.”

Alberu looked at Cale oddly after hearing those words before looking at the White Star.

“You dare, you dare-!”

The White Star was shouting in anger.

“After barely winning one time while looking like a mess-!”

He was shouting quite loudly that Alberu could hear him as well, making Alberu smile.

“He’s accepted it.”

The White Star had accepted that Cale had won.

Whether Cale did it while looking like a mess or had won only once…

Winning was winning and this would be the start of the White Star’s destruction.

“…I look forward to the future.”

Alberu then greeted the ancient Dragon before looking at way from the White Star.
His heart was beating wildly.
It was because he realized that the White Star was no longer an existence they needed to defeat.

He also understood why Cale was heading to the basement of the temple.

‘All that’s left is the god.’

The God of Despair was the only enemy remaining.

That was why Alberu was amazed.

‘Crazy bastard.’

Alberu was sure he saw the rock in Cale's hand.
Cale had not let that rock go no matter how hard it was for him.

It was obvious what Cale was thinking.

‘He’s planning on going up against a god.’

Of course, he had many questions about that as well.

‘Can we meet a god?

What is at the basement of the temple?

Is it possible to pummel a god with a rock?’

However, he kept those questions to himself.

‘I'm sure he's thought things through.’

Alberu believed that Cale would have a plan.

Unfortunately…

– Cale, Cale! No way, right?

Truly unfortunately…

Cale did not have many thoughts right now.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Oo, w, we must escape!”

“Fire, it's a fire!”

“The temple, for the temple to crumble so futilely like this…
ah……”

Cale had Raon cancel his flight magic and stood on his own feet the moment they passed the temple entrance.

‘I really feel more refreshed the more I cough up blood.’

Cale felt that his body felt better than before from the short moment of rest and coughing up some blood as he walked past the people running way and the people breaking things to the basement.

“Raon.”

“What is it, human?”

“Go see how Choi Han is doing.”

Baaaaang—!

Bang! Baaaaang!

There were all sorts of explosions still happening upstairs, letting him feel that an intense battle was still going on.

Honestly speaking, it was probably more of a one-sided destruction or suppression.
Rosalyn and Choi Han…
Magic and sword…
The two of them would easily create such a situation.

“Human, I got it! In return…
If you do anything stupid…
I…
will destroy everything……”

Raon’s dark blue eyes sparkled as he quietly said that.

Cale subconsciously flinched at the gaze that was even more vicious than the White Star's gaze.

“Okay.”

Raon fluttered his wings and headed upstairs after hearing Cale's response.

“Then I will go take a look! Crown prince, please take good care of our human!”

Only Cale and Alberu were left now.
Things were still rowdy around them but they had nobody else to pay attention to right now.

Alberu was the first to speak.

“What are you planning on doing?”

Cale spoke with certainty.

“I will not die.
I plan on having a simple and short conversation, your highness.”

“…And?”

“Please stand in front of the basement entrance and stop anybody from entering.”

“…And if I don't want to?”

“Who else would I be able to say such things to, your highness?”

“Haaaa.”

Alberu let out a deep sigh.

“You have a point.
It’s not like you could say this to Choi Han or to Raon-nim.
Who could you really ask for such a thing from?”

He nodded his head.

“You can only ask me, your hyung.”

Alberu walked past Cale and stood in front of the steps heading down to the basement of the temple.
The stairs were in the middle of the northern-most wall of the first floor.

Pow!

“Ugh!”

Alberu kicked one of the fallen White Star's subordinates in the stomach and picked up a long spear that looked fine.
He then swung it around as he observed Cale.

“Go.”

Tap.

The spear gently tapped the ground and Alberu stood with his back to the stairs.

“Thank you very much, your highness.”

Cale quickly thanked Alberu and stepped past Alberu and onto the staircase.

“Will there be no enemies down there?”

Cale answered the question without any hesitation.

“There won’t be, your highness.
At least none that will attack me.”

The sealed god had called him to chat.

Cale did not say anything else and Alberu was silent, as if he accepted it, before saying one more thing.

“Don’t get hurt.
I am coming down if you don't return within 5 minutes.
You truly are amazing, making the crown prince wait.”

Nothing else was said after that.

Cale headed down.

Tap.
Tap.

The world became quieter the farther he walked down.

Furthermore, it became darker and only the magic torches on either sides of the wall were giving off any source of light.

“It’s over there.”

That was why Cale could tell when he would be chatting with the sealed god.

Tap.
Tap.

The torches slowly disappeared the farther he walked down, until he arrived at a pitch dark area.

That would be where he would chat.

Cale stopped in front of the darkness.

– Hurry on over.

Red eyes revealed themselves far in the darkness.

The sealed god.

They were the same eyes he had seen when he first met the sealed god.

“What is it that you want to say to me?”

– Getting right down to business?

It was an obvious question from Cale.

He had nothing to talk to the sealed god about.

He was just curious as to what kind of deal he wanted to make.

– Cale, Cale! Loosen your grip! Your palm is going to get cut if you keep doing that! The rock won't get damaged!

Cale ignored the Super Rock's frantic comments and quietly observed the red eyes.

The red eyes were calm unlike usual.

– Okay.
I will get right down to business.

The sealed god calmly added on.

– Take me out of here.

‘…What?’

– If you seal me with your Embrace and take me out of the temple, I will give you information on the Hunters.

The red eyes looked relaxed.

– In return, I will give you information on the Hunters and protect you and those around you to keep all of you safe.
I can swear that on my authority as a god.
You can even call the God of Death to make me make a vow.

The sealed God of Death continued in a transcended tone.

– I'm sure it is hard to believe but I am speaking the truth.

The Super Rock shouted.

– Oh, Cale! Loosen your grip! Your palm is going to get cut!
