Again, but nothing is the same {Slow Update}

Leaving On and Hong with Hans for their recovery, Cale sets off in a carriage with Hilman to Tolz County. The carriage rolled all the way without problems, no bandits were seeing as on the previous occasion. Then night came and camping was necessary, but after a break and feeding the horses, Cale headed to Hilsman.

- Rest inside, I'll drive the carriage now.
- Pardon?

Hilsman thought he had misheard, this arrogant and pampering Young Master couldn't say what he just heard.

- Don't make me repeat it, give me the reins of the carriage and go inside and rest.
- Is seriously? You? How am I going to let you do it? do you even know how to do it? Besides, if the count finds out, the least he will do is fire me.
- My father does not have to know, and I can drive a carriage, I have memorized it.

There was really no way that Hilsman would hand over the reins to Cale, maybe it was a test to get rid of him, there was no way that Cale would actually know how to drive a carriage. Cale in a bad mood, takes the reins from Hilsman and sits on the driver's side, then looks at Hilsman who is petrified and refusing to get into the carriage.

- If you don't enter now, I'll leave you here.
- Ok... I'm going to enter the carriage.
- Make sure you rest, maybe I need you later.
- Oh? Su... Sure.

Cale did indeed know how to drive the carriage, he drove it at a stable speed that didn't put too much pressure on the horses, from time to time he used the sound of the wind to propel the carriage and help them a bit. They would soon reach Tolz County and then the village where Raon was a prisoner.

Before reaching the village, Cale from a distance saw something that left him perplexed, the forest near the mountain was on fire which was spreading rapidly. It seems that the black dragon has already gotten out of control, Cale quickly covers himself with a cape he brought with him, detaches a horse from the carriage and rides it.

- Young master?
- Hilsman, return to the previous village and wait for me at any inn, I will return.
- What?! But...?

Without letting Hilsman finish, Cale leaves for the village. Before arriving, the horse refuses to go any further, so he has no choice but to use the sound of the wind to get there. When he arrives, he sees that the nearby mountain where Venion's hideout was has been completely destroyed and he sees a raging fire-breathing dragon approaching the village.

"No, Raon you are using your life energy"

The moment the dragon led a powerful attack on the village, Cale immediately took out his indestructible shield and held back the attack.

"I must find a way to stop him, or else Raon ..."

As Cale desperately searches for a way to calm Raon, a man with black hair and a sword lashes out at the dragon.

- * Arghhhhh *

The dragon's cry of pain is heard all over the place when he is cut with the sword and the indiscriminate fire attacks increase. Cale uses his shield over and over again to prevent the village people from getting hurt as he runs away, and heads to the site of the confrontation as fast as he can.

Cale watches with deep pain as the dragon of no more than one meter and the swordsman face in a fierce fight to the death, he knows that taking a step beyond where he is can mean his death, in addition, the ancient powers are weakened, but he has no other choice, he cannot allow his great friend to murder his precious child.

The dragon is wounded again and falls to the ground with broken wings and covered in wounds and blood, but not all of them are infused with the swordsman's sword. When Choi Han raises his sword to deliver his final thrust to the dangerous dragon, a divine-looking shield and a hooded man stop him.

- If you want to live, stay away.
- ...

Choi Han, who is also badly injured by the battle, does not understand the actions of the mysterious hooded man, he is sure he has seen that shield protecting the villagers from the dragon's attacks, but now this person stands in his way.

- I'll give you one last warning.
- ...

Cale seeing that Choi Han was willing to kill him as well, concentrates and draws as much ancient power as he has to defend himself. It works, his shield becomes bigger and stronger, withstanding at least 6 blows from Choi Han's sword and before it is completely destroyed, Cale takes advantage and uses the power of the super rock and hits Choi Han sending him away. He then approaches the dying dragon who is unable to move because of the wounds.

- I'm sorry ... I'm so sorry I'm late.
Cale says to the dragon and right after he lets out a mouthful of red and black blood, more than normal.
- Listen, you are a great and majestic dragon, even if now you are consumed by anger and want to take revenge, do not do it in exchange for your life, run away, survival is the true strength ...
Again, Cale vomits blood in an alarming amount.
- Go away, you have to survive only then you can take revenge on those who hurt you, run away now! please, I will not be able to retain the swordsman for too long.

A sword is thrown in the direction of Cale who could not react in time to deploy the shield and is wounded in the arm. Choi Han approaches with enraged eyes releasing his aura, Cale extends the shield again, but is weak and is destroyed by Choi Han, coughing up blood and without energy to call the shield again, Cale covers the dragon with his own bloody body but a strong kick separates him from the dragon. Choi Han retrieves his sword and takes aim at the dragon as Cale tries to stand up and stop him.

- Please ... I'm begging you ... don't kill him ... it's not his fault, none of this is his fault... don't kill him.

Choi Han hesitates for a moment upon hearing the anguished prayer of the badly wounded man who spits blood incessantly, then in a blink a strange glow covers the place and both the dragon and the man begin to fade. The swordsman regains his senses and quickly stabs the being in front of him, but notices that it is not the dragon, the hooded man has gotten in his way once more. With the sword piercing his side this person manages to say one last thing.

- Go in that direction... you will find a female magician with red hair... with her help save the northern blue wolf tribe.

With those words of Cale, the dragon and him disappear.
