Menacingly swinging his sword, Huten debates whether to attack the half-blood dragon or the assassin first, when he looks in Ron's direction, he finds the red-haired man who can barely stand, his body covered in blood from the numerous wounds would clearly collapse with the push of a child, but.
His eyes, his eyes do not match his state, those eyes that resemble those of a great beast guarding his territory and waiting for someone to approach to devour him. Huten, unable to bear that look that threatens his neck, pays his attention to the scrawny man on the opposite side, the one who was previously on his side, but now he is nothing more than a traitor.
- After all, he was never wrong when he said you would betray us.
- It's true, I have a new lord now.
- Ungrateful bastard, you should have died silently and obediently.
Huten prepared for the attack, as did the half-blood dragon whose body is surrounded by small golden rays, Cale anxiously watches and knows that it is a matter of time before he is defeated by the master of the sword, the same is for them.
Cale is out of energy, not even sure how much longer he will endure with the constant loss of blood. In the desperate situation, he evaluates the possibility of using instant one more time but his body would definitely not take it, it will break.
- Young master, that's enough.
Ron seems to realize Cale's intentions and tries to persuade him.
- Ron, maybe if-
- It seems that they do not intend to harm you in the short term, if it is you, you will find another opportunity to escape again.
- What are you talking about?
- I have grown old, my glorious years have ended a long time ago, but do not think badly, none of this was for the young master, what I do here is only part of my personal revenge.
Cale felt his heart sink. The pitiful attempt at an excuse is so obvious that it's not even funny. With his exasperated face to hide his sadness and despite his exhaustion, an annoyed voice came out of his mouth.
- ... What nonsense are you saying with that terrifying smile? Even if you don't tell me, I know who you are, it's not bad to run away to keep what's important, but if you turn around you must go to the end, will you leave your son Beacrox behind? ...
Ron widened his eyes in surprise and after a moment returned his benign smile.
- Ho ho, I am not the one who keeps the secrets anymore, the young puppy has grown without me realizing it, my son is also someone who can take care of himself, this old man has less regrets.
Cale who thought to refute again, saw a different golden light from before that dazzled the whole place, in front of him, a man with long golden hair just like his eyes manifested himself, his indifferent gaze turned extremely cold when his eyes crossed.
- It was simple curiosity ... the scroll I made with magic suddenly vanished before being activated, I just had to take a look, so… why am I so angry at this moment? What an unlucky feeling.
Eruhaben let out his intimidating aura and all the movement around him felt in a flash, as if time had suddenly stopped. Unlike the others present, Cale did not feel fear or oppression by his draconian aura, on the contrary, he felt relieved and a slight smile formed on his battered and tired face.
When relief reached him, his body that had reached its limit long ago was overwhelmed by the stabbing pain that he ignored, before the light in his eyes completely clouded, Cale looked at Ron and without reaching a statement he heard Ron speak first.
- I'll stay with you until you wake up.
As if he had pressed a switch, Cale's body immediately collapsed and he was held by Ron. He, who was also injured in multiple parts of his body, was immediately covered by blood that did not belong to him. Ron felt his chest burn with bitterness.
The golden dragon felt the anger increase inside him and to appease it, he checked his surroundings looking for the possible author of his upsetting, he observed the master of the sword, he thinks he has found him, it does not matter if he is not, he will find out later anyway, if may.
The dragon turns his back on Cale and the man holding him, but not before throwing a potion at him, Ron positions Cale on the ground with the delicacy with which he would treat a newborn and then provides him with the entire potion. Although he is injured and may lose his left eye if he does not receive immediate treatment, Ron does not covet a drop of the potion that was given to him.
Cale's face does not appear to be much better, only some of his wounds disappear and although the bleeding has stopped it is still frustrating. Cale's breathing is slow and his face is so pale.
Ron supports Cale's upper body so that he won't endure the cold and hard ground surface for so long. It has been a long time since he felt this distressed. Staring in clear pain at the limp body in his shaking hands, Ron makes a promise.
- Puppy master is still a troublesome boy, I shouldn't have looked away from him, but ... young master, if you give me back the now undeserved right ... and if you can bear the disgust for these dirty sin-stained hands, this his servant will accompany you all his life.
- ...
There is no answer, but it doesn't matter, Ron doesn't need it.
The golden dragon approaches again, behind him the destruction that is only possible for a great existence is observed, however, the most terrifying thing is that it was carried out in just a few minutes.
Eruhaben takes Cale and sets up a teleportation circle, it is not proper to let a wounded old man carry him. As for the other person, he who has both the essence of a human and a dragon, generates a feeling of disgust that he does not understand, he assumes that it is due to his unnatural character, but the fact that he had the other scroll means that he is not an enemy of Cale. The teleportation circle is activated and they disappear.
In the original plan the scroll was to take Cale to a meeting place on the outskirts of the capital of the empire, there would be the crown prince and the little children waiting for him, but Eruhaben knows that it will be problematic if they see him in his current state and takes him to the super rock village.
