Black smoke could be seen as the teleportation black magic circle underneath the altar activated.

  Cale could see the white light and the blue gold smoke that came out of the two sculptures quickly taking shape.

  They were not taking the form of small sculptures, but that of large monsters.

  ‘They’re coming.’
Those monster bastards were headed to the Roan Kingdom.

  – Cale, we told you to stop using any ancient powers!

  Unlike Cale’s other abilities, he could still use his ancient powers regardless of whether it burdened his body or not. That was why Cale could not stop.

  A faint fiery thunderbolt shot out toward the white light.

  Pssssssssss-

  However, that fiery thunderbolt disappeared before it could reach the white light.

  Screech- screech-

  The screeching grey mouth had eaten it.

  Even Raon’s strong mana attack was eaten by it as well.

  “Kekekekeke! How could a mere human stop the cries of the God of Despair?!”
Sayeru continued to laugh maniacally.

  ‘Success!’
The grey mouth. As long as the eerie cries came out of the God of Despair…until that cry called forth the monsters… Nothing would be able to stop this ritual until the monsters were completely summoned now.

  That despair would eat anything that tried to do so.

  ‘Of course, this grey mouth is just a half-powered one.’
It had many flaws, as it was a ritual using a sealed god.

  That was why Sayeru predicted that it would not work many times against Cale Henituse.

  However, all he needed was once. He just needed it to work one time, and although it was only a fourth of the original number, he had successfully summoned some monsters.

  “This is really the end.”
Sayeru seemed to be telling Cale that he could not stop it.

  At that moment…
“Motherf-”
Cale’s body staggered.

  “Human.”
Raon supported Cale’s body.

  Cale looked down at Raon, who snuggled into his chest to support him.

  His eyes that made everything look red were turning white.

  It was time for him to faint.

  However, Cale could not do that.

  Raon spoke to Cale, who couldn’t even tell that his tears were drenching his clothes.

  “Human, you destroyed two sculptures as you promised.”
He kept his word even though his entire body broke down in the process.

  “The crown prince and Choi Han told me. They said it is time to bring you back.”
Raon raised his head. He could see Cale’s blurry eyes.

  They looked as if he could not process what was happening properly.

  Raon had never seen Cale’s eyes looking like this before.

  Raon needed to make a decision at this moment.

  Would he stay here and stop that first and eighth sculpture no matter what it took?

  Or will he take Cale, who looked as if he could die at any moment, and escape?

  Raon quickly made his decision.

  Cale had already given him the answer.

  “Human, you told me to immediately take you and run away.”
Raon decided to listen to Cale’s orders.

  For Raon, saving one person, saving Cale, was the most important thing in the world, even more important than saving everybody else.

  Cale was the one who gave Raon the chance to see the world.

  Raon could never forget the arms that carried him and took him out of that cave.

  “…Raon.”
Cale looked into Raon’s eyes as his sight continued to go white to the point that he could only see a small speck.

  Those dark blue eyes were firm.

  Cale wanted to smile. However, he didn’t even have the strength to do that. That’s why his expression ended up an odd mess as Cale closed his eyes.

  Although he couldn’t destroy the eighth and first sculptures…
Although he had no information whatsoever on the eighth sculpture…
He did as much as he could, and he had allies.

  His people also had the strength to take on these monsters.

  He released his strength, and his body limped.

  The black magic circle activated at that moment.

  The blue gold smoke and the white light started teleporting.

  Raon cast his teleportation at that moment as well.

  “…I …leave it to you……”
“Don’t worry, human!”
Raon answered energetically, and the two of them disappeared from the Endable Kingdom.

  It had happened a few seconds after the black magic circle had activated.

  Everything that had happened had been captured by a video communication device that was rolling around on the grounds of the Endable Kingdom.

  Raon had placed the video communication device on the ground a moment ago when he blocked Sayeru.

  The images captured by the video communication device were all sent to a single place, the video communication device in Alberu’s hand.

  * * *

  “Choi Han.”
Alberu dropped the video communication device in his hand.

  He had missed a few things because he had to teleport in the middle, but he saw all the important parts.

  Clang-!

  The video communication device fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

  “Yes, your highness?”
Alberu heard Choi Han’s response as he stepped forward.

  The City Hall was the largest building in Puzzle City. The mayor’s office terrace at City Hall was a spot where everything in Puzzle City was visible.

  “Everybody is busy.”
The chief executives who had seen about half of what had happened because they were with Alberu and Choi Han and urgently rushed to their positions after seeing Cale’s entire body gushing blood.

  Alberu looked down at Puzzle City.

  The entire city was empty other than the soldiers.

  A black magic circle suddenly appeared at the center of the city and a blue gold smoke and white light burst out as if they were exploding.

  And then…
“…We’re here.”
Raon and Cale appeared on the terrace.

  Alberu couldn’t even bear to look at the terrible condition Cale was in as Raon gently carried him.

  “Choi Han.”
“I know it was tough.”
Choi Han had a calm expression on his face as he received Cale from Raon. He then laid Cale down on the bed they had prepared in the office.

  Choi Han heard Alberu’s voice at that moment.

  “Choi Han, you’re confident, right?”
He turned his head to look at Alberu.

  Alberu Crossman was wearing white armor and a white helmet. The white spear was already in his hand.

  Choi Han started speaking as he walked over to Alberu.

  “We’ve already killed one bastard before.”
The monster appearing inside that blue gold smoke…
That was that same unranked monster, the Electric Eel.

  Choi Han had fought against that bastard before.

  As for the eighth unranked monster that was said to be the strongest…
“As for the other bastard, your weapon was made with that bastard’s bones, right your highness?”
Alberu looked at Choi Han, who was wearing black leather armor. The shining black aura was already coming out of his sword.

  “Yes. My weapon was created by the bone they gathered after killing that bastard.”
– That is right, master. That is why I am a great EX-Grade weapon.

  The Unbreakable Spear in Alberu’s hand…
Taerang, the AI inside the spear, continued speaking.

  – As mentioned before, this item was created from the bones of an Ex-Grade monster, which have been designated as the most terrible monsters. It has significant durability and is the only thing that is capable of breaking that monster’s bones.

  “Pffft.”
Alberu chuckled.

  He addressed Choi Han, who was smiling the same way as if he had seen Alberu’s smile underneath his helmet.

  He was not laughing because he wanted to laugh.

  It was not because he found this situation funny nor because it was amusing.

  It was because he could not cry and because he needed to receive the baton.

  Alberu and Choi Han…
The two of them knew why Cale had contacted them in the middle of that situation. He was leaving the rest to the two people who had seen a portion of his life as Kim Rok Soo.

  That was why they needed to put an end to it.

  “Cale Henituse created the best, no, the situation with the greatest chance of success.”
He didn’t know whether Cale intended it to be like this or not. However, the first and eighth monsters were a better match for them compared to the second and seventh monsters.

  They had the power to go up against these two monsters.

  “The others will be here soon. Shouldn’t we do our part now that Cale Henituse has set the field for us?”
“Of course.”
Alberu and Choi Han…
The two men kicked off the terrace railing and charged forward.

  They were headed toward the two large unranked monsters that had appeared in the Puzzle City plaza.
