The trees that had just been saplings until a moment ago were growing exponentially.
"...My goodness!"
The person who was the most shocked was the person who had spread the seeds and grown those saplings. Jae Ha-Jung was the most shocked.
It was because he had a similar ability. That was the reason he was shocked more than anybody else.
'How can he have such an ability?!'
Jae Ha-Jung's gaze looked astonished, no, mesmerized as he looked past Choi Jung Soo to Cale.
'How many abilities does this person have? And each of them are extremely strong abilities!'
But Jae Ha-Jung's eyes were sparkling even more as he looked at these growing trees.
'It's different!'
The power Cale had used during the original shelter battle and this power were fundamentally different.
'This is at a completely different level!'
He could feel a strong power coming from the trees that was incomparable to what he experienced before.
That was why his sparkling gaze started to shake.
"Ugh!"
Cale coughed up more blood.
Jae Ha-Jung was thinking that things might end up really bad like this. That was how serious Cale's condition was right now.
"...Haaaa. Noonim."
But Cale just wiped away the blood and ignored his condition.
No, he tried his best to forget about it.
What he did from here on was very important.
He needed to focus.
In order to do that, it would be best to be closer to the spot he needed to focus his power.
"Please put me down."
"Huh? Dongsaeng, will you be okay?"
"Yes."
"O, okay! I'll do as you say for now!"
The Steel Feather Hawk quickly moved to where Cale had pointed.
Cale's body staggered from the speed, but Choi Jung Soo quickly supported him.
"Thanks."
"......Sure."
The Steel Feather Hawk stopped on the tree that was closest to the castle gate.
Cale landed on the top branch of a tree that grew resembling a watchtower.
Choi Jung Soo and Jae Ha-Jung were with him as well.
But the people on the castle walls that had been fighting off the monsters until now could only see Cale.
"...Shit."
"My goodness."
They were at a loss for words after properly seeing Cale's condition.
It was at that moment.
Someone started to mumble.
"...We really... Are seeing the most of that back."
They recalled the promise that their young commander had given them.
'Furthermore, the people here will fight while looking at my back the most, at least for this battle.'
Their commander had kept his promise.
Everybody could feel the weight of that promise after seeing his current condition.
"Are we just going to stand around like this?"
"No. We need to do something as well."
