Chapter 38: The First Law of the Hunt (1)

Cale had never used the Fire of Destruction beyond its maximum level until now.

However, he did it today.

He had used twenty five times the maximum level today.

“It’s not here.”

– …Y, you’re right.

It’s not here.

“…The tree is not here.”

The vines and trunk of the black tree that was even larger than the Lord’s Castle was not there.

The roots were naturally not there either.

“…The lake isn’t here either.”

There was a large pit with Cale at the center.

Whether it was the lake, the black tree, or its vines…

Nothing was here.

“…I was planning on leaving a portion of the black tree.”

He was also planning on leaving some of the lake’s water.

He was thinking about taking the two things back to Marquis Helson to investigate.

– …I, I’ve never burned anything like this either.

The cheapskate could not hide the shock in his voice.

– Cale.

However, that shock slowly disappeared and the Fire of Destruction’s voice started to be filled with excitement.

– Cale, if it is like this, I think that we can burn up all of the dead mana in this world! What do you say? Let’s go burn it all up right now!

Cale ignored the comments of the cheapskate who sounded like he had gone a bit crazy. He thought that the cheapskate’s eyes would have rolled over if he saw him right now.

‘It feels a bit off.’

The cheapskate’s words oddly sounded a bit off.

Cale did his best to ignore it and looked around once again.

“Dawn is arriving.”

Now that the dark cloud with the fiery thunderbolt had disappeared from the sky…

The sky that had only revealed itself around the lake was completely visible all around now.

That was how much Cale’s fiery thunderbolt had swallowed the dead mana in the area.

The sky that had stars shining down was slowly turning from black to dark blue as dawn arrived. It would soon be morning after that.

“Hmm.”

Cale lowered his head and looked down now.

– It’s white.

The black sand was gone and white sand had replaced them.

– It is not the original sand color. It is probably because it lost its color after being polluted by dead mana for so long.

The cheapskate clicked his tongue in pity.

– At least it is pretty.

Cale looked around. A couple hundred meters, no, basically everywhere Cale could see now had white sand.

There would probably be black sand again if he traveled a couple kilometers, but at least everything he could see right now had sand without dead mana.

‘Is that why the pit is so visible?’
