— Cale.

Smirk.

Cale had a light smirk at the Super Rock's call.

Ffffsss.

Suddenly, a vine was creeping up from behind him.

Cale raised his foot and stepped on the vine.

"I guess you also have a sly character, hmm?"

Cale spoke to the black tree as if it could understand him.

"You truly have lost your fear."

Ccccckk.

The vine did not back down.

Despite being burned, the root's head aimed to grab Cale somehow.

The corners of Cale's lips went up.

His eyes squinted.

"Heh."

Dozens of tree roots were sticking their heads above the surface.

And the trunk of a tree that was as huge as the margrave's castle. Dozens of large and small roots were pointing its tip toward Cale.

"It's fun."

At that moment, a reddish-gold light began to soar from beneath Cale's feet.

Huuuur——

The roots began to burn in no time.

The pointy thorns coated in a sticky black liquid were quickly engulfed by a reddish-gold fire.

Tap!

Cale raised his foot after seeing the root turn into ashes.

The wind enveloped his ankles.

The sound of the wind lingered on his ankles, creating a small whirlwind.

Shoosh!

Cale moved forward across the lake.

Rumble!

The ground began to vibrate.

It felt as if the whole black sand desert was shaking.

— Hahaha! Cale! Let's burn it!

That time, Cale heard the cheapskate's crazy laughter.

The black tree launched an attack on Cale.

Ffffsssss! ffffsss!

The surface of the lake fluctuated, making a different sound than before.

Dozens of tree roots rose.

They only have one target.

It was Cale.

"Well."

It was as if a huge spear was flying toward him.

The tree roots, as big as Cale's body, shot towards him.

Following the bigger roots, several smaller roots are aimed at Cale's sides.

The sight made the onlookers imagine the forthcoming future.

"Is he crazy? What is he doing alone now--?!"

Noi, the fourth prince, who was inside the golden shield, opened his mouth without realizing it.

"He's going to die now,"

The tree roots will pierce that man's body.

He will be torn to pieces beyond recognition.

'He was obviously nothing more than Henny Wishirov's subordinate!'
