Eruhaben raised his head while Choi Han, On, and Hong remained silent.

Shaaaaaaa- The night wind was blowing past them.

They were currently at the Grey Eye Forest.

The ancient Dragon was looking up at the night sky that had stars but no moon as it was the night of the new moon before lowering his head to look back at the place where Cale had earned the Sky Eating Water.

He could see the large lake that looked like a human eye. The water that used to be grey was now normal in color such that even the stars could be reflected off of it.

Cale was standing by that lake. Raon was flying around in nervousness around him.

The ancient Dragon started to speak as he watched the two of them. "...I thought you were throwing money away?"

Cale continued to walk toward the large lake with the others behind him. "Yes, I will throw money away."

He had a calm expression on his face.

However, Eruhaben, Choi Han, On, and Hong could not help but be confused.

Raon shouted to Cale at that moment.

"...Human! Let me know if you need my piggy bank! I can give it to you at any moment!"

Splash. The water in the lake hit Cale's shoe and made a noise.

The tip of Cale's foot was now touching the water. He could hear Eruhaben's pressing tone.

"Are you throwing money into the lake?"

It sounded unbelievably weird.

"Didn't you say you were going to strengthen something? You're going to strengthen something by throwing money into the lake? There's no way humans who possessed powers of nature would give you such a trial!"

Eruhaben could see Cale turning around.

Someone was rambling loudly in Cale's mind right now.

• Finally......! Finally! Ahh, ah- finally another chance at a happy moment that I would happily die again for!

'You're so crazy.' Cale ignored the fiery thunderbolt and started to speak. "Why would I throw money into the lake?"

"What? Then where will you throw it?" Eruhaben started to speak again. He had calmed down a bit.

"Are you planning on using all of the money you earned from the underworld? There's no way an Ancient Power would give you a trial like that, so tell me what is going on. I will help you. I have a lot of money as well."

"I'm not sure. But you're wrong, Eruhaben-nim. My Ancient Powers are all people who give out weird trials like this." Cale shrugged his shoulders and took a small item out of his pocket.

He had no hesitations as his instincts were telling him that strengthening this Ancient Power would not affect his plate, even when Cheapskate currently going crazy like this.

A small magic bag appeared on top of his hand. The only one to recognize that item was next to him.

"H-Human! T-That is...!" Raon was shocked. Raon knew about that bag.

It was last seen at the VVIP auction in the Caro Kingdom. It was used to trade with the bishop of the Caro Kingdom's Church of the Sun God.

Cale and the bishop had conducted their own auction with the jewel called the Night's Exultation.

"15. However, it is impossible to give you anything more than 10 billion today."

Cale had asked, and the bishop had responded.

"How much?"

"20."

"How much?"

"22."

Cale had said one last thing when the bishop called out 22 billion.

"23."

"...You bastard."

The Night's Exultation had been sold for 23 billion counds. The bishop had thrown him a small money bag. It was a bag with spatial dimension magic on it.

"Here. 10 billion counds."

The bag with 10 billion counds had appeared in front of Raon's eyes again.

Cale had given the pouch to Billos in order to purchase the [Wolf King's diary].

Naturally, that item that was no more than a relic of a Beast person to other people and thus would not cost the entire 10 billion counds. It was much cheaper.

Thanks to that, the Wolf King's diary as well as the remaining money was returned to Cale. Cale had put a portion of the money he got from the Singten Merchant Guild's guild leader for selling the Determination of Fire into this bag as well.

For reference, the Determination of Fire was sold to the Singten Merchant Guild's guild leader Plavin Singten for 30 billion counds.

"30 billion counds."

"W-What crazy nonsense!"

Cale recalled the shocked expression on the face of the Singten Merchant Guild's guild leader. Just a small portion of that money was in this bag.

The money earned from both the bishop of the Church of the Sun God and the Empire's Singten Merchant Guild was gathered together in this bag.

Cale was wondering if he should also add the one billion from Odeus last time... but he heard Raon's voice first.

The young Dragon's pupils were fervently shaking. He subconsciously shouted out.

"...That bag is a t-ten billion cound bag! T-This is shocking!"

Silence filled the area. Forget Choi Han, On, and Hong, but even Eruhaben could not say anything this time.

Shaaaaaaa-

The moment a gust of wind brushed past them, Cale took out Raon's special potato sack and decided not to take out the magic bag with one billion gallons worth of silver coins. 'Let's go with only gold this time.'

The way he took things out one by one made Eruhaben let out a comment. "This crazy bastard."

It was at that moment.

Oooooooong-

Eruhaben's expression changed.

The ground started to rumble. He could also feel the power of nature. It was the most destructive of natural powers, something that could even destroy itself.

"...Fire." He could feel the power of fire.

Cheapskate shouted in Cale's mind at that moment.

• You're crazy! 10 billion! 10 billion! 10 billion!

The Fire of Destruction, that cheapskate fiery thunderbolt, had heard what Raon had just said. Cale could feel the power of fire running wild inside of his body.

• 10 billion! Ahahahahaha, ten billion! Ahehehehehehe!

Cale hesitated for a moment.

'...Did you go nuts? Should I keep back some? It's not just 10 billions....'

Cheapskate seemed to be slightly, no, extremely excited.

It was the moment Cale's expression turned odd. He heard the Super Rock's voice for the first time in a while.

• This is bad.

The Super Rock continued to speak in a concerned voice.

• The power that burned the North will appear again.

The Super Rock described the current situation in a few words.

• It's the second coming of a disaster.

'...Disaster?' Cale flinched as he looked down.

Boooooooom- An incomparable rumbling was shooting out from the ground.

Cale could feel the wild fire inside of his body.

Fire was weak against water. However, this fire had fought against the Sky Eating Water which was so strong that a god had to suppress it.

This fire was not weak. It symbolized the thing that was in its full name. Destruction.

• Ahahahahahahaha! It's a party, a grand old party~! I'll burn everything~!

Cale frowned because Cheapskate was too loud before opening his eyes wide. "...Shit! You damn crazy Cheapskate!"

The eye-like lake. That lake was starting to change.

Siiiiiizzle- The water that filled the lake quickly evaporated and the bottom of the lake cracked open. Red fluids started to shoot out from those cracks.

• It's a party, a grand old party~!

The Fire of Destruction was figuratively jumping up and down in joy.

'Stop singing so happily inside my head while causing this disaster!'

The bottom of the lake that was revealed was starting to rumble and crack as if an earthquake was happening underneath it.

Craaaaaaack-! A red fluid similar to the lava that Cale had seen on top of the Ten Finger Mountains was coming out of the ground while looking as if it could melt anything in its way.

Cale shouted at the group the moment he saw the fluid. "Everybody dodge!"

Someone shouted in response. "Flight!"

Choi Han, On, and Hong's bodies shot up into the air. Eruhaben had used flight magic on them.

However, Choi Han was looking down even as his body flew up. "This-"

The moment the red fluid that reminded him of hell appeared at the bottom of the lake, it shot up as if it wanted to eat up the sky.

Chhhhhhhhhhhh! It was as if a downpour was coming from the ground as that red fluid continued to shoot up.

The ground was shaking. The ground at the bottom of the lake started to crumble as if it could not handle this red fluid.

It shot up similar to the pillar of fire that Choi Han had seen many times already.

"Cale-nim!"

It turned into a tsunami and rushed toward Cale. Cale watched the fire heading toward him and started to think.

'Fuck you, Cheapskate!' He thought that he made the wrong decision.

• Ahahahahahahaha, kek, hahahahahaha!

He probably shouldn't have touched this crazy fiery thunderbolt that was laughing so hard that he choked.

Cale watched the lava approach him as he stood there with the money bag in one hand and a shocked expression on his face.

Cale heard the voice of a woman in his head at that moment.

• Fly up.

'...Huh?' Cale flinched.

It was the voice of Thief.

• The wind is what knows fire the best.

Fire and wind could not be separated. They wrapped around each other in order to create an even greater disaster.

'I'll trust you.' Cale could feel the wind that appeared by his feet on its own. The wind appeared the moment the fire was about to get stronger.

Cale found this to be odd, but he still trusted Thief and stomped his feet and kicked off the ground. Cale shot up into the air with the wind.

Boooooooom! The ground that he just flew off of was now covered in lava.

The lava seemed to not be satisfied with just gulping up the lake, as it continued to gulp up the surrounding area.

It quickly continued to grow its territory until it ran into the barrier the ancient Dragon Olienne had left behind.

Baaaaang!

Baaaaang!

Vines appeared out of the barrier to fight off the lava. However, the lava easily ate up the vines. It melted everything.

"...I didn't expect it to be such a strong power." Eruhaben was at a loss for words.

Eruhaben had reactivated Olienne's barrier that he had broken in order to bring Cale here last time as soon as they returned to the Grey Eye Lake.

Although the Sky Eating Water was gone, he did it so that those few traces of Olienne could remain.

Furthermore, it was also better to have it up as he never knew what Cale might do. However, that barrier was about to break apart now.

"You crazy baffling bastard! Why are you always so unpredictable!?" Eruhaben looked toward Cale in shock, however, he could not approach him to speak.

'The fire is running wild.'

A red tint was surrounding Cale's body. Red light was coming out of his body as if he was surrounded in fire. Furthermore, he could feel the presence of a fire running wild in Cale's body.

Cale was aware of what was going on in his body as well. "Ugh."

It was because it was causing him issues.

It was not that he was in pain.

It was just hot. It was still mid-spring, but it was extremely hot.

'Why did I think I could strengthen something with this body of mine?! Why didn't you guys say anything to stop me?'

Cale subconsciously unbuttoned the top button of his shirt as he let his frustration take over. He had done it subconsciously because of the heat, which reminded him of a familiar feelings.

Hot breath was coming out of his mouth. However, Cale could not just blankly stand there.

The lava started to aim for Cale once again. It directed a tsunami of lava toward Cale, who was barely floating in the air thanks to the Sound of the Wind, as if it did not care about Olienne's barrier at all.

Ancient Powers were things you had to earn on your own. Cale could not have someone else use flight magic on him right now.

He continued to hear the voice of the Sound of the Wind in his mind.

• Nobody could stop us when we fought together.

The Fire of Destruction, that Cheapskate, was called a hero. Thief who had to live in hiding helped him every so often.

Nobody was able to stop them whenever they fought together against an enemy. Nothing anybody did could stop them. They just ate up any obstacle and made their bodies even bigger.

• The fire needs to regain its original powers for me to be able to use my true powers as well.

'Oh.... So that's why you guys didn't say anything to stop me...' Cale sighed as he looked toward the lava that was heading toward him. 'But the true power of the Sound of the Wind?'

• There is more to a free wind's power than just movement and whirlwinds. Wind exists everywhere.

Whether it is the trees, the ground, fire, water, and even the people living in the world... The wind and the flow of air always exists around all of them.

• That is why it is most beautiful when it is with someone else rather than when it is alone.

Although she was a thief, she always helped her friends. That was why she had helped the fire become the most destructive fire, the ground become the strongest ground, the tree become the sturdiest tree, and even helped the water fly across the wide ocean in order to reach the Eastern continent.

• When you use a divine item in the future...

Cale started to frown again. 'A divine item?'

Cale currently had a total of three divine items in his possession or left in someone else's possession.

The War God's Watering Can from the North, The Condemnation of the Sun, and The Method to Kill Death.

Why was she suddenly talking about them?

• Remember that I am here when that moment comes, Cale.

'Okay. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.'

And so, Thief chose to become silent once again after hearing Cale's response. Instead, the voice of the crazy person filled Cale's mind.

• What are you doing, Cale? Hurry up and throw the money!

Ooooooooong- The lava gathered together and charged toward Cale, who was slowly floating down to the ground.

The fiery thunderbolt loudly urged Cale on at the same time.

• Let's have some fun! Why are you doing nothing? Huh? Kekeke, it's time to run wild! Cale, throw the money! Hurry!

Cale started to frown more, while the lava charged even faster toward Cale as if it was responding to his frown.

Choi Han, On, and Hong who were watching this unfold flailed their legs in the air in order to try to approach Cale.

"Cale-nim! It seems too dangerous!"

It was at that moment.

"Stop being so loud. You stupid Cheapskate."

"...Excuse me?" Choi Han flinched and asked in confusion.

However, Cale did not pay any attention to Choi Han as he put his hand in the money bag. He then started to smile.

The whirlwind around his feet slowly dwindled as his body slowly headed down to the lava. His body was extremely sweaty from the heat both inside and outside his body, however, Cale's eyes started to sparkle.

The bag that originally had 10 billion counds was left with 5 billion counds after purchasing the Wolf King's diary.

He had then added 3 billion of the 30 billion counds he had taken from the Singten Merchant Guild leader.

There was a total of 8 billion counds. These were not silver coins, like last time but gold coins.

In addition, he had the gold coins of the Eastern continent that he had looted from the bad guys.

'10 billion? It's already over that amount.'

Cale was someone who knew how to use money when he spent it. He had already put aside enough money for his plans on top of feeding himself and those around him for the rest of their lives.

'I should use my extra money for times like this. When else would I use it?'

He put some strength into the hand he placed inside the money bag. There was only one thing he planned to do.

The money bag with spatial dimension magic....

Riiiiiip- The money bag was ripped from the inside. The spatial dimensional magic slowly started to break down.

The sound of gold coins hitting each other could be heard through the tear.

Cale happily shouted toward the lava wave that was about to hit him. "Here you go, you money-crazed Cheapskate! This is the taste of money!"

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiip- The spatial pocket bag was completely ripped apart.

At the same time, Cale used the wind once more to shoot up into the sky. However, a radiant light followed his trajectory.

"...this crazy bastard." Eruhaben put a hand against his forehead.

"Hahahaha!" Cale was laughing out loud.

Gold coins started to pour out of the destroyed money bag.

Even without the moon, the starlight and the red light coming from the lava was enough to let this radiant gold light brighten the area.

Raon shouted with a shocked expression as he held his piggy bank tightly against his chest. "It's a money rain! It's raining gold! It is shocking but exciting! This is huge!"

The gold coins fell into the lava.

Ooooooo- A noise that sounded like someone crying started to come out of the lava.

This was the accurate description of that noise.

• Sooob, the smell of gold that is more luxurious and sturdier than silver. Sooooooob, it's gold. Oh, my goodness!

Gold coins continued to pour down toward the lava.

• Oh, yes, yes! Cale is an angel-like human! Oh, sob, ohhhh!

The color of the lava started to change as it was hit by the golden rain. The lava that was only red beforehand slowly started to glow gold similar to the fiery thunderbolt.

The red color that reminded them of hell slowly started to glow gold and turned into a rose gold color.

Ooooooong-

Ooooooooong-

The cry of the lava continued to get louder.

It was at that moment.

"So annoying. One Crybaby is enough, don't you cry too, Cheapskate!" Cale's voice cut through the lava's cry.

Cale then made a simple movement.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip. The money bag was ripped in another area of the bag.

Cale then flipped the bag over. "There you go, stop crying."

"...Gold, gold coins are pouring down! I, the great and mighty Raon Miru, has seen a completely different world today!"

Cale then flipped the potato sack over as well.

"...Human! Human! You are great and mighty! Human! The great and mighty Raon Miru approves of you!" Raon's shout was drowned out by the sound of gold coins and gold bars pouring down into the lava.

The fiery thunderbolt became shocked.

• Huh? Huh?

Cale started to smile. 'He finally stop crying.'

The fiery thunderbolt was definitely shocked.

• ...Uh... Mm...this looks like it might be over 10 billion?

"It is over 10 billion. Hahaha..." Cale laughed at Cheapskate's shocked voice as he continued to pour out the gold bars.

'I'll make more money if I loots Arm and the mercenaries again, and I still had 13 billion counds to get from the bishop as well as tens of billions of other monies stashed away.'

Cale confidently started to speak. "You have to do it right if you want to do something crazy."

Although he sounded indifferent, Cale had a refreshed look on his face. The expression on his face was extremely bright.

"Ah, I'm so happy."

Cale truly was happy right now. He was the happiest when he threw money around like this, especially if it could shut the loud Cheapskate up.

In the end, Cheapskate shouted out.

• I knew you were crazier than both devils and angels, Cale!
