Chapter 18:Did you lose a dragon? Now he is mine (2)

After coming out of the prison, Cale put the dragon down in front of the two kittens.

"That looks like it hurts."

"So sad."

On and Hong circled around the still silent dragon. The dragon started to show its teeth and growl at them. This was probably the first time in its life it ever saw anything other than humans.

Cale verified the time on his watch. It looked like they had just enough time to escape.

"It looks like it hurts."

On approached Cale and tapped his leg. She seemed to be thinking about the potion Cale brought in his magic box. She couldn't ask him for it, so she could only act this way.

"Hold on."

Cale had brought that potion to use it. However, he needed to wait until the mana restriction chains were off. The potion would only work properly if the mana, which was practically as important as a dragon's heart, was no longer restricted.

Cale started to head toward the opposite side of the prison, the location the torturer seemed to be guarding. It wasn't very loud, but he could hear Choi Han fighting in the distance. Cale presumed that Choi Han's battle would end soon as well.

"Let's see."

Cale started to pat the cave wall with his hands. He kicked the torturer with his foot to get him out of the way, and continued to pat every aspect of the wall. The dragon growled after seeing the torturer, but stayed still and continued to focus on Cale.

'Venion's last line of defense should be around here somewhere.'

Like all of the members of Marquis Stan's family, Venion was extremely worried about someone intruding while he was inside. He had created a secret tunnel to use as an escape route if something like that ever happened. If the torturer knew about it, he probably would have used it to escape earlier, but, sadly, even the torturer did not know about this escape route.

'The novel said there was a flat area on this bumpy wall-, ah here it is.'

There was a flat area about the size of a person's hand on this bumpy cave wall. Although Venion looked like he had OCD and would never do anything like training, everyone in the Marquis's family had learned martial arts.

'If you use a strong enough force on that location, the wall will open.'

It was not a magic device. Instead, the force of the impact made the device move. Cale turned his head to look toward the person who entered and asked.

"All done?"

"Yes."

Choi Han lightly swung his sword in the air to get rid of the blood on it and then approached Cale. His gaze soon turned toward the dragon, and started to frown. It was a natural reaction to seeing such a small creature being covered in blood. The glare in Choi Han's eyes as he stared at the torturer was vicious.

"Choi Han."

That was why Cale had called out to Choi Han. Choi Han was still glaring at the torturer as he reported.

"As you ordered, I left the escaping workers alone. I also made sure that all of the strong individuals would not be able to fight."

"Good job."

Cale praised Choi Han before pointing to the flat area on the wall.

"Punch this spot."

"As strong as I can?"

'Are you planning on destroying the cave?'

"No. Control your strength. Just pretend you are creating a 10cm dent in this wall."
