Trash of the Count's Family (201-400)

Chapter 304 - Following Your Instincts (4)

The dark blue arrow instantly engulfed Honte's body.

"No!"

The Empire's knights flinched at the fierce shout.

Imperial Prince Adin shouted with a rare sense of urgency.

"We, we have to save Honte!"

He then paused and raised his voice.

"He is one of the pillars of the Empire's future! Mages, go help him!"

However, his shout was in vain.

Cale broke out into laughter at Imperial Prince Adin's shout as he looked at Honte.

"It's too late."

The dark blue arrow struck Honte.

Baaaam!

The deafening sound of the impact was heard.

Dust, gray smoke, and light burst out from the explosion.

The scale of the smoke was large enough to engulf not only Honte, but also the black skeleton bird.

"Ugh!"

The smoke slowly subsided and a collapsing person could be seen.

"Cough!"

"Ugh!"

Some of the battle leaders of the Alchemists' Bell Tower who had been near Honte with the intention of protecting him were unable to withstand the explosive power and threw up blood as they collapsed.

The Captain of the Empire's Mage Brigade's hands were shaking. It was because he felt the vibrations of mana from the explosion that just unfolded.

He shouted to Imperial Prince Adin as he saw the smoke start to subside.

"Your highness! Honte is important, but you must escape! The enemy's attack is beyond our expectations! I think the necromancer can even use magic!"

The Captain thought that Imperial Prince Adin should escape before the smoke completely subsided and before he ran into Commander Cale.

The fire that Cale used felt like divine judgment delivered by a god.

It was at that moment.

"As I thought, it's too soon."
"...Your highness?"

Adin drew a smile and the Mage Captain could see it.

"Huh?"

Someone could be seen cutting through the subsiding smoke.

The person had black mana around him.

It was Honte.

There wasn't a single scratch on his body as he shot up into the sky with his hand outstretched and got rid of his shield.

That wasn't all.

There was also another existence that cut through the smoke, no, that blew it away.

It was the black skeleton bird.

"It seems like that wasn't enough."

Cale drew a smile on his face that was pale from being driven to his physical limits. His hand moved and the black skeleton bird headed straight for Honte.

The black skeleton bird shot towards Honte who was rising into the air.

A battle began in the sky.

"Young master-nim."
– Human!

Cale let out a laugh.

"Fine, I'll do as you guys want this time."

Cale began to move in accordance with Mary and Raon's will.
