"Duck!"
"Everybody duck!"
The explosion in the middle of the night accurately struck the Lion Dragon. However, the aftershock from it was affecting the surrounding area as well.
Flap. Flap.
The gust of wind that came with the explosion made people's clothes flutter. The soldiers and knights had to flatten themselves and hug the ground.
Crack, crack.
"Watch out!"
A building that had cracked from the numerous battles until now and looked terrible finally crumbled.
That wind that had compressed and compressed some more... The explosion caused by the pressure from the compression held quite the force.
"...Fire......"
But the people kept their eyes wide open despite the wind as they couldn't help but stare at the wildly burning fire.
This red fire that reminded them of magma even though it was not in liquid form, covered the Lion Dragon's entire body as it burned viciously.
"It's not doing a thing."
The monster's scales and shield did not burn at all.
"Ah, should I have aimed for its face?"
Cale mumbled to himself, seeming to be disappointed.
The Lion Dragon had covered its face with its shield the moment that the button Cale threw was about to explode.
The monster with the Lion's face was able to dodge the fire by hiding its mane behind the shield.
'Its scales are even stronger than Dragon scales.'
The white scales maintained their serene appearance even within the red fire. The white shield didn't seem to have a single scratch on it either.
It was quite interesting, as this was the first time Cale was looking at the Lion Dragon face to face like this.
On the other hand, the Lion Dragon, which had been observing Cale for a while, soon turned away without any hesitation.
The monster was just waiting for the fire to burn out, as it had nothing left to burn.
The fact that it was acting as if nothing had happened was quite painful for people to watch.
Cale looked disgusted as well as he got up. It wasn't hard to do, as the aftershock had already passed.
"Cale Henituse."
"Your highness."
He smiled and turned around. Alberu Crossman's head was tilted to one side as he stared at Cale.
Cale nonchalantly commented, with an extremely satisfied expression on his face.
"Wasn't that quite a decent attack despite having no effect?"
Alberu's head tilted even more to the side. That made Alberu's face look quite crooked.
Alberu slowly started speaking.
"...Decent? ...Quite a decent attack?"
"Yes, sir."
"...Are you joking?"
"I am not joking, your highness."
Cale wondered why this guy was acting like this after hearing Alberu's extremely low voice. Alberu sighed. This disrespectful bastard didn't even flinch at his low voice.
'Both this bastard and the Lion Dragon...'
Alberu, who had grouped Cale and the Lion Dragon together because neither of them flinched against him, walked over to Cale.
"Cale-nim."
Choi Han had jumped off Mila's back at some point to walk over as well.
"Didn't you promise Raon-nim that you won't get hurt- mm?"
