Chapter 5: Your Presence

"Hello, Kim Rok Soo."

The moment he heard this, the red-haired boy was startled, his eyes widened in shock.

what-

Alver couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Different from the harmless feeling of human beings and animals just now, little Cale's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the feeling became out of reach.

Suddenly a huge majesty aura began to radiate around the child, and Alver thought for a while that he had encountered another dragon.

Just when Alver was going to do something.

"Human!"

"Cale-nim, please don't use your ancient power."

A large hand lightly landed on top of Cale's head, and Choi Han bent down and let himself look into the child's eyes that were shaking with fear.

In an instant, Alver felt that the strange pressure disappeared, and he quickly took a breath. He almost forgot to breathe.

But the child who caused all this clenched the front of his shirt tightly, and coughed out of breath. An increasingly violent cough filled the entire space.

"How is this going?"

Alver quickly got up to help the child in front of him to calm down, and looked at the instructor who was also heavy-faced next to him.

Choi Han forced himself to protect his composure and took the child into his arms.

"... Cale-nim's plate...seems to have shrunk along with his body, and Eruhaben - nim said that his unauthorised use of ancient powers could cause his plate to shatter."

Alver's eyes widened, he understood what it meant when the bowl was broken.

Is it possible to die just by using ancient powers?

What a joke.

This is still a child.

Alver bit his lip, hesitating whether he should call Jinlong back to the room.

The child quickly stopped his piercing cough, and fell into the arms of Choi Han who was supporting him.

The pain disappeared quickly.

But Cale felt like his head was still buzzing, making it impossible for him to focus on other people's expressions.

—Sorry, Cale.

- This is the second time.

—Damn, it looks like you can't control our power.

- Children, you should tell them that you need help.

The voices in their heads were speaking again, but this time they sounded extra serious.

Then a low voice sounded.

— There is no next time, Cale.

"Human, stop using your ancient powers.. If you vomit blood again, I will destroy the whole world."

The choked cry of the black dragon brought Cale back to reality, listening to the vicious words that the black dragon kept coming out of. Cale rolled over and sat up with some difficulty, leaning against Choi Han's arms.

The child pursed his bloodless lips, stared at the crying black dragon and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

At this moment, the man beside him asked with a worried expression.
