There was too much for him to do.

Cale could not help but laugh. "Ha..haha-"

His laughter was echoing inside the underground prison. He brushed his face with both hands once he was done laughing about it. He had not felt like this in a long time.

'I shouldn't have trusted them.'

Cale lowered his hands to see someone on the ground. It was an old man wearing a robe with a single red star. It was the old mage from Arm.

Cale looked at the old man and shared his sentiments. "...He really is barely alive."

"He is alive, but barely breathing. He's right about to die, however, he is still alive."

Raon had said that.

The old man truly was right at the edge of death's door. His entire body was injured. His skin was blue as if he had been hit by all sorts of magic spells and poison. His mana circle must have also broken during the battle as the skin in front of where his heart would be was black.

Cale turned toward Raon, who was not invisible as they were the only ones there. Raon slowly avoided his gaze as On and Hong slowly walked away toward the corner of the underground prison with Raon.

Raon started to mumble. "Our not-as-weak Human bled. They needed to not only bleed, but their blood needed to pour out. They shouldn't be allowed to have an easy death. We need to rip them to shreds and then cut off their necks."

"I agree!"

"Our youngest did a good job this time. We did too."

Cale decided to let it go since even On agreed with the other two. "Sigh. Good job, I guess. Thanks for taking revenge for me."

"Yes, Human, we did good and you should not worry about anything!" Raon's wings were fluttering.

The children averaging nine-years-old.

What could he really expect from such children? They were as overprotective and vengeful as the adults around them.

And he couldn't do anything to change that because they've learnt by watching everyone around them. And maybe he himself had a hand in turning them like this as well.

He looked towards the old mage again. 'It seemed that having a discussion with the old mage was not possible. That was disappointing.'

So, he turned toward the other two people who also had only one red star on their robes. He could also see Beacrox taking off his previously white gloves and throwing them aside.

Plop. The gloves landed on the table with the torture instruments. The gloves had long turned black from dried blood.

Beacrox brushed back his hair as he reported to Cale. "They are currently unconscious, but they should be able to talk once they wake up."

'They would only be able to speak.' Cale looked away from the fake Dragon Slayer and the healer who were currently approaching the gates of hell.

He could then see someone else.

"...Gasp!" That person gasped as soon as they made eye contact.

The magic spearman. It was the person who used both magic and spear arts, the same one they had frequently met while fighting against Arm. He gasped as soon as they made eye contact and tried to turn away, however, he could not do that.

"It is not respectful to turn away when our dear young master is looking at you." Ron, who grabbed the magic spearman by the hair, made it impossible for the magic spearman to look away.

The magic spearman could not even look at Ron as he started to shake in fear.

Cale found this to be expected. The magic spearman is not injured at all, so why is he the most scared?

'Only Ron and Beacrox could have done something like this.' Cale with a helpless look looked toward Ron.

Ron smiled back at him.

'I guess Ron and Beacrox was also partially at fault for the children to be like they are now... so vicious.'

It would be abnormal if the magic spearman was not afraid.

Cale looked back toward the shaking magic spearman. He then casually asked. "This is your first time meeting me, right?"

The magic spearman could not say anything. All sorts of emotions were in his eyes right now.

This response made Cale smile.

On and Hong's poisonous fog, Choi Han's black aura, and Ron's stealth and assassination skills.

The magic spearman had definitely seen these before. It was at the Ten Finger Mountains. The magic spearman had seen these experts at the valley with the Elf Village. Of course, what he had seen were these people wearing the fake Arm outfits.

The same people who had always got in Arm's way. Arm was angry about these people but had no way of knowing their identities.

The magic spearman had faced those same people in this last battle. The magic spearman looked up at Cale Henituse.

No, he looked up at the leader of the group that got in Arm's way numerous times.

That leader then slowly crouched down and made eye contact with the magic spearman.

"You know who I am, don't you?" It was a gentle question.

However, this gentle question made the magic spearman's eyes shake even more. In the end, he lowered his gaze toward the ground.

He heard Cale's voice at that moment. "You seem to be at least a bit smart. You know when to speak and when not to speak."

That statement made the magic spearman's back turn cold. It was as if Cale was saying that this was not the first time they had met, and that he would not live to see another day if he told anybody about Cale's identity.

Ron tried to pull on the magic spearman's hair in order to make him make eye contact with Cale, however, the magic spearman did not raise his head to look at Cale until the end. He kept his gaze focused on the ground.

He knew the difference between people he should look at and the people he should not look at.

"You really are smart." The moment he heard Cale's voice, the magic spearman felt a sense of relief. He could still feel Cale Henituse looking at him.

'What could their true identities be?' He had heard that Cale was a just young master who needed to recover, so what was this cold appearance?

The magic spearman did not have such thoughts. It would show on his face if he did. He just chose to look down at the ground and think about nothing.

Cale quietly observed the magic spearman.

The fake holy Maiden, Hannah. He had told her to treat him like her own older brother. Although Hannah had truly considered them to be siblings, the magic spearman had only been acting.

The people who stabbed people in the back were always the wittiest.

Cale opened his mouth to speak. "I should keep you separated from the others since you know who I am."

Flinch. The magic spearman closed his eyes. He was in big trouble. He had just done whatever he needed to do to survive.

So how did he end up in such a mess? Everything had gone wrong ever since the fake Holy Maiden got away. The magic spearman lowered his head.

Cale gave Ron an order. "Keep him separated, but don't torture him. Just make it so he cannot run away. Ah, block his mana and aura as well."

'Don't torture him.' Those words made the magic spearman relieved.

This was the noble who had kept his identity hidden as he caused havoc for Arm. He was safe from the scary methods of this noble for the time being.

However, the magic spearman could not see the look in Cale's group's eyes because his head was down. Ron moved the magic spearman to a different prison.

Choi Han, who was looking at the magic spearman's back, subconsciously started to speak. "It looks like he will have the most painful death."

"Of course. Hannah is going to kill him."

The magic spearman would be handed over to the fake Holy Maiden, Hannah, and would probably beg to be tortured by Ron or Beacrox instead.

Cale left Beacrox and Choi Han in charge of watching over the three Arm members. It should not be difficult as their auras and manas were sealed and there was poison in their bodies.

"Watch them properly."

Beacrox confidently responded back to Cale. "If I make a mistake, it will be that I accidentally killed them. There will be no other types of mistakes."

"You really are Ron's son." Cale shook his head before noticing Choi Han nodding in agreement and turning away from both of them. These two would probably be more thorough than him.

'White Star. I need to see if any of them saw his appearance without the mask.'

These three were the only ones within Cale's grasp who might know what White Star looked like. He needed to wake them up at least once in order to find out that information.

That would be very painful for the three of them, but that was none of Cale's business.

Why should he care about people who tried to kill him? What about the people in his territory that were hurt because of them? What about the people they had killed until now?

Cale headed toward another underground prison. He went to see someone whom he had secretly brought over. "Hiya."

Guardian Knight Clopeh Sekka started to shake as he moved his chained arm in order to bow down to Cale. He looked as if he was serving a god.

Clopeh seemed to have healed a bit. The person who was responsible for healing the Guardian Knight started to speak.

"Young master-nim." A GPS-like voice.

Cale started to speak to the necromancer Mary who was not a part of the naval battle. "Let's go."

"Yes sir." Mary was guarding the Guardian Knight.

Clack clack. The skeleton pieces she had been putting together stopped moving.

Cale pointed toward the Guardian Knight as Raon arrived in his invisible form. "Pack him up."

Pack the bags. That's the type of tone Cale seemed to be using as he pointed at Clopeh.

The Whale tribe went to attack the Paerun Kingdom. 'Then what should I do next?'

Cale knew what he had to do. The Whale tribe had no thoughts about conquering the Paerun Kingdom. They were just doing this to get their revenge.

Cale had made up his mind after watching them. 'Let's hit their backs.'

He was going to plan a mole in the Indomitable Alliance. The same Paerun Kingdom that had fabricated a legend in order to monopolize everything for themselves.

How would it feel to have that kingdom underneath the Roan Kingdom's feet and use them as spies?

Cale's gaze slowly headed toward Clopeh. The plan would take place when the Indomitable Alliance least expected it. 'We would hit them from the back.'

Cale slowly approached Clopeh.

Clopeh, who was currently tied up with Raon's magic, was dominated by fear. Clopeh stiffened up like a person that was cursed as soon as they made eye contact.

Cale confidently started to speak. "Clopeh, let's go to your hometown together. Doesn't that sound great?"

Clopeh nodded his head a few times. He looked as if he was looking at a god. Cale's hair looked white to Clopeh even though it was red.

Cale looked toward Clopeh, who would die in his hometown, without any emotion before leaving the underground prison. He did not have any mercy to show for people who touched the people within his territory.

He started to walk up the stairs to the surface. Mary and the children averaging nine-years-old followed behind him.

Cale started to speak. "Let's eat."

"Yes, young master-nim."

"Meeeeeow."

"Meeow."

– Sounds great! A steak for me!

Mary and the children all responded back.

"Raon, give me a slice of apple pie first... I'm starving." Cale nearly didn't have energy to even walk.

"I know you like apple pie, hehe. Here you go, Human." Raon took out an apple pie and hand it to Cale.

Cale bit and munched on the small slice of pie immediately.

(Tsuki: I don't have any with Cale in his commander clothes.)

Cale then thought about the piece of steak and the glass of wine that he was going to have as he quickly started to walk. It was a walk toward a happy meal.

He walked past the prison and could now see the door leading up to the surface.

Cale finished the pie and quickly turned the doorknob.

Screeeech- The door screeched as it opened.

Beeeeeeeep- Beeeeep- Beeeep- He then heard the video communication devices going off. The alarms could be heard even through the slightly opened door.

Cale stopped opening the door. 'Ugh...'

It sounded as if young lady Amiru and the communications mages were standing right outside the prison door waiting for him.

'Should I not go out?' Cale seriously considered this option before choosing to open the door. His annoyed face reappeared on the surface.

"Young master Cale!" It was young lady Amiru.

She seemed to be in such a hurry that she even forgot to call him 'Commander'. Her expression showed signs of that urgency.

All of them had been waiting for Cale with video communication devices in their arms. Their expression did not look good.

Beeeeeeep-

Beeeeeep-

The emergency signal continued to ring.

However, the royal video communication device in young lady Amiru's arms was silent while the others were going off.

The communication had not come from the Roan Kingdom's palace. Furthermore, it had not come from the alliance either.

They were coming from the extra ones they had kept with them for the 'what if' situations.

"What is it?"

Young lady Amiru peeked toward Mary, who was standing behind Cale, before she started to speak. Her expression was urgent and full of anger.

"We are getting messages from many different churches on the Western continent, and all of the churches within the kingdom."

Churches. Temples.

"We are getting the most from the temples related to light, with the Church of the Sun God contacting us the most."

The necromancer Mary's black robe slightly flinched. The hood of the robe turned toward Cale.

Beeeeeeep- Beeeeeep-

The reappearance of a necromancer. The reappearance of a being that used evil powers such as dead mana. The fact that they had rid the world of necromancers was a source of pride for the Church of the Sun God and the other churches associated with light.

However, that cursed existence reappeared on the Roan Kingdom's battlefield.

"It looks like the different churches used their network churches within the Roan Kingdom to directly contact us as the crown is not willing to take their calls. We are getting messages from all over the Western continent."

The churches were using their priests in order to send all sorts of messages and video communications requests to the northeast region's naval base.

Cale reached his hand out to young lady Amiru. She hesitated before taking out a message from her pocket and handing it over.

Cale read the first sentence on the message.

Amiru, the communication mages, and the other important individuals at the naval base had all seen this message. That was why they had urgently rushed over.

They were waiting for Cale to speak.

The black robe slowly walked up next to Cale in order to read the message. It was the moment she stopped next to Cale.

Riiiiiip- Riiiiiip- He had ripped it up before she had the chance to read it. The ripped pieces of paper fluttered down to the ground.

"Ignore the bullshit." It was a simple and calm order.

He started to speak again. "You don't have to see these nonsense, Mary. People who ignore the person who has saved their lives are not human. Keep that in mind."

Those words made Mary flinch.

Cale then put his hand on her shoulder. Cale continued to speak to those who were looking at him. "I don't need to tell you who our savior, the hero from the battle is, right?"

Mary clenched her fists underneath the black robe.

Another sharp noise sounded off at that moment. Beeeeeeep-

Young lady Amiru urgently read the short message that was left in the direct communication device to the crown in shock. It was urgent news, so they had left a short message as they could not wait until they were able to chat.

She immediately started to speak. "Commander-nim! The Indomitable Alliance is said to be heading toward the Caro Kingdom's shores."

Cale's expression changed.

Caro Kingdom. It was located underneath the Breck Kingdom and to the west of the Empire, making it the closest kingdom to the Empire.

The Indomitable Alliance skipped the Breck Kingdom and its Gorge of Death and started to invade the Caro Kingdom.

Based on their location, it seemed as if they had launched a fleet toward the Caro Kingdom before they had even launched a fleet for the Roan Kingdom.

"They seem to be about a week's distance away from the Caro Kingdom, and according to the Breck Kingdom's information mage, the number of ships is almost impossible to count...! Commander-nim?" Young lady Amiru stopped talking and looked toward Cale.

Cale was smiling. Cale looked down at the message that he had ripped to shreds. He recalled who had sent this message.

The Caro Kingdom's Church of the Sun God.

The Caro Kingdom was the current location with the highest influence of the Church of the Sun God.

Young lady Amiru, who could not ignore them, had given Cale that message as a representative.

Cale thought about the person he had met in the Caro Kingdom's auction house while wearing a white mask he hated.

The Caro Kingdom's Church of the Sun God's bishop. It was the person who had agreed to pay 23 billion counds while waiting for Cale to return with the Sun God's divine item.

The bishop probably did not know about the Indomitable Alliance's fleet when he had sent the message.

Furthermore. 'That person does not know of my identity.'

Cale turned his head to the side. He could see the black robed Mary.

Caro Kingdom. They had more than just the Church of the Sun God there.

Cale thought about the people he was planning to turn into heroes. He hoped that his existence would fade away once they become heroes.

The Dark Elves were one of those heroes-to-be. They lived in the Underground City because people loathed them. Their Underground City was located in the Caro Kingdom. Furthermore, Mary had become a strong necromancer thanks to the Dark Elves.

In addition, the fake Holy Maiden and the half-Saint were currently in Cale's Super Rock Villa.

Cale's smile became thicker. His foot stepped on the ripped-up pieces of the message. "Looks like they won't need to live in hiding anymore."

"Excuse me?" Amiru and the others did not understand what he was saying and looked toward him with confusion.

However, Mary and the children averaging nine-years-old clearly understood.

Tap, tap. The kittens tapped Mary's black robe with their paws while Mary unclenched her fists.

Cale gave an order to Amiru. "Connect me to his highness the crown prince."
