Trash of the Count's Family

Book 2: Chapter 311: Eccentric Power (6)

<Eccentric Power (6)>

“Hoo hoo.”

Mila, who was smiling with a relaxed expression on her face while standing next to Rasheel, quietly mumbled.

“…Eruhaben-nim needing to face one Dragon at a time… I guess the Dragons that ate the foundation of this world are pretty strong.”

She shrugged her shoulders before adding on.

“But we just need to crush them one after another.”

‘If we push as far as we can, shouldn’t Cale return before that?

Our role is just to drag things out.

That’s it.

Mila smiled and motioned to Rasheel.

“Rasheel.”

“What, what is it?”

Mila gently spoke to Rasheel, who flinched while causing the ruckus.

“Provoke them properly.”

“Huh?”

“Just fucking swear at them.”

“Huh?”

“What is it? Do you not want to do it?”

“N, no! Can I really do that?”

“Yeah. Go ahead.”

A bright smile appeared on Rasheel's face.

And soon…

Bang! Bang!

From inside the fancy clashes of light…

“#$&%%*$%$&-!!”

Rasheel excitedly started to swear at the Dragons.

“Hooooo. That’s a different way to fight.”

The Heavenly Demon was leaning against a window in the Black Castle watching it with interest before turning his head.

“Is the master of this castle going to just stay in here?”

Lord Sheritt smiled at the Heavenly Demon's question.

“Of course.”

Her calm voice had a coldness to it that did not match her mischievous face.

“It isn’t time for me to step in yet.”

Oooooong– oooooong–

A gentle rumbling was endlessly spreading around the entire Black Castle.

It was at that moment.

“Sheritt-nim!”

Rosalyn urgently pushed the door open and entered.

“Hmm? What’s the rush?”

Sheritt walked toward her in shock and Rosalyn shouted while holding Sheritt’s arm.

“I think the Dragon Lord used another spell! This looks like a weird spell. He seems to have used a mana arrangement I have never seen before!”

Rosalyn realized that the Dragon Lord used another major spell.

The reason was simple.

They changed their way of approaching it.

“The location of the Dragon Lord's lair. We detected the aura around that area changing. Something, I think the Dragon Lord is trying to do something we don't know about.”

“…Can I see what you detected?”

Sheritt's face turned serious and Rosalyn nodded her head.

“Of course. Shall we go together? The detection map is a base model so it is lacking, but it should be enough for you to take a look, Lord-nim.”

Sheritt and Rosalyn left the room together.

“Mm.”

The Heavenly Demon watched them before looking out the window.

He was looking at the other castle on the other side of the plain.

While the gazes were focused on Eruhaben elegantly causing a scene with the Red Dragon…

At a corner of the enemy castle…

The ground next to a regular-looking house within the castle was moving.

Ssss–

The ground rose up and then spread apart as one figure poked out his head.

"We're here.”

It was Ron.

Tang Yu and Tasha carefully came out of the hole behind him.

Only Axion remained inside the cave.

He had to go back in case his aura was discovered.

“Huuuu.”

Tang Yu took a breath in and smiled.

"The air is refreshing. It is perfect to spread poison.”

One by one…

Cale's group was moving according to plan.

* * *

The Time Hell.

Cale stuck right behind Raon and looked around as they followed the teddy bear.

‘Man, this kind of thing feels scary too.’

It felt too much like a fairy tale.

Fluffy clouds were floating in the ceiling and he could even see a cute star and moon.

The teddy bear was quite nice now that he was acting as their guide.

“This is the inner area of the dungeon. It is a clean area without other monsters.”

Now it made sense.

Cale looked at the closed doors.

“Ah, but you cannot open the doors as you please! You may immediately end up at the area's mini boss or the region with the insect attacks!”

Cale immediately looked away from the doors.

‘Let’s focus on the goal for now.’

That was why Cale had a much more relaxed face as the bear opened the door at the end of the hallway.

Raon peeked behind him, noticed Cale's expression, and spoke in his mind.

– Human, why do you have your scamming smile on your face?

Cale just smiled.

“Alright, if you place your hand on the orb on top of this altar, you will immediately enter the registration process. The red hand will not chase you once your name is registered. After that, your detailed stats will be determined by the system inside the orb so that you get registered properly!”

“How long does that take?”

“Mm. The original plan was for everyone to temporarily register the day after the update, but that would have taken a long time. The registration should be completed by the time the new update finishes.

The altar seemed to be made of crackers.

The orb at the center of the altar looked like water with a bunch of glitters.

“I will go first.”

“Hmm?”

The teddy bear frowned once Choi Han stepped up.

“A human dares to… In front of the Dragon-nim-”

“Hey, hey.”

Cale patted the bear.

“That guy is the swordsman protecting our Raon-nim. In his point of view, isn't it normal for him to do it first? Of course, I'm sure you set everything up to be safe, but… You know how it is.”

“Mm.”

The bear couldn't figure out why he got so stiff as Cale patted his shoulder.

– Cale. I can use a bit of my aura. It feels like the amount of useful energy is increasing!

Cale listened to the Dominating Aura and realized that he was being properly registered in the game.

“I, I know! It's impossible to communicate with you knight punks.”

Yes, yes. But the two of us can communicate.”

Cale motioned with his hand for Choi Han.

“Go register. Hey Dark Bear, you just have to put your hand on the orb and say your name?”

“That’s right! Neo-nim told me to make it as easy as possible because a lot of Aipotu doesn't know about games!”

“Ahh. “As expected of Neo-nim.”

Clap, clap, clap.

Choi Han put his hand on the orb while Cale was clapping.

[Would you like to register as a mid-grade NPC in the new field, ‘Land of time?’ If so, please state your name.]”

“Mid-grade NPC?”

Cale reacted to Choi Han's mumbling.

“Hmm? Not a user but a mid-grade NPC? What is going on, Dark Bear?”

“Ah. You didn’t hear about that?”

The bear looked confused but Cale used a little bit more of the Dominating Aura as he spoke gently.

Pat pat. He patted the bear’s shoulder as he did that.

“Haaa, Neo-nim doesn’t tell us trivial things like these. He tells us to just listen to the Dark Bear that is in charge.”

“R, really?”

The bear’s shoulders lifted up with joy.

Cale patted his shoulder as he spoke.

“Yeah. Of course! For things like this, the Dark Bear is the best in this dungeon, in the entire New World. Our great and mighty, heinous yet intelligent Dark Bear!”

“Kopjasdfkl.”

The Dark Bear barely managed to hold back his laugh as he answered.

“If you register as an NPC, you are not allowed to log out from the game. Of course, those regular lowly things will be registered as NPCs so that they have to submit to Neo-nim and cannot leave the Land of Time, but…” (TL: It looks like I'll need to change Cale from NPC to ‘Boss Monster’ because of this new rule that’s introduced)

Cale's eyes clouded over.

“Neo-nim told me to give mid-grade NPC roles to Dragons and other special individuals to create a midpoint between users and NPCs. Only then can we be at par with the Transparent Bloods or Wanderer bastards- eek!”

As the bear said that much and freaked out…

“Choi Han.”

Choi Han finished his registration.

Pat pat.

Cale patted the bear.

“Yes. Our Purple Bloods have to be victorious. We can't let the Transparent Bloods or Five Colors Bloods bastards do as they wish.”

“Hooooo. You know that the Five Colors Bloods are the wanderer?”

“Of course. Our Raon-nim is a core member.”

“Oho.”

The bear gasped.

Cale had a thought while looking at this.

‘That Dragon Lord bastard is planning on making the humans or other races he brings from Aipotu his slaves.’

So that they could not leave the game even if they wanted to do so. Neo was going to turn them into NPCs so that they submit to him.

Cale thought about the Emperor and others who would have followed Neo expecting to have eternal lives.

If Cale was not victorious, they would live forever as Neo's slaves.

Of course, Cale motioned to the children averaging ten-years-old while continuing his thoughts.

“Go, go, hurry up and register. Raon-nim, please be the last one to do it.”

Of course, he took care of Raon as well.

Cale then continued to chat with the bear.

He did it so that the bear could not think about anything else.

“But don’t you think Neo-nim is a bit too inflexible?”

“Hmm? S, such disrespectful-”

“Oh come on. Only us working-level folks can chat like this. Who else can we talk like this with?”

“Wait-”

“Hey. Hey. Think about it. You are the current Lord-nim’s trusted subordinate. I am the future Lord-nim’s trusted subordinate. What would happen if we push for the same goal?”

“Ah.”

The bear’s eyes sparkled.

Cale smiled wickedly and the bear subconsciously smiled just as wickedly.

“The one who will become a god and the future Dragon Lord. The only ones by such amazing Dragons’ sides. Why don't we be a bit more friendly to each other?”

“Ahem. Ahem. You are a lowly human but that does seem like a decent idea.”

“Aw shucks. It's nothing much.”

Cale put his arms around the bear’s shoulders. Cale then smiled.

That warm smile made the bear subconsciously smile as well.

“The Dragon has finished as well! Now you go ahead and register too! I am curious about your name!”

Everybody other than Cale had registered.

“Yes. I should do so as well.”

Cale said that and pulled up the hand around the bear’s shoulder.

And then-

Pow!

He smacked the back of the bear’s head.

Of course-

Pow!

Choi Han then hit the same spot on the back of the bear's head.

“I thought you might not be strong enough, Cale-nim.”

Cale smiled as Choi Han innocently commented.

"Amazing.”

Choi Han looked embarrassed to hear Cale praise him.

“W, why-”

“Hmm?”

The bear, who did not faint yet and was doing everything he could to not faint, made eye contact with Cale.

“You didn’t faint yet?”

Cale smiled brightly.

Why did the bear think he resembled a final boss?

Pow!

Choi Han hit the back of the bear’s head with his scabbard this time.

Cale leisurely asked the fainting bear.

“Do you know where the reference point is sealed?”

Gulp.

Cale smiled elegantly at the gulping bear.

He looked like a beautiful painting.

“You do know.

Hoo hoo.”

Cale’s voice echoed in the bear’s ears.

It resembled the voice of a ghost.

It was scary.

He suddenly felt like this human was scary.

“Okay, you have to let us know when you wake up, okay?”

The bear shook in fear despite Cale speaking warmly and lost consciousness.

There were two bumps on the back of the bear’s head.

Slap, slap-

The Bear woke up after sensing someone hitting his cheeks.

“Mmph, mmph!”

His entire body was tied up and Choi Han was grabbing him by the back of his neck to make him float.

“Hey teddy bear.”

‘No. I am a great and mighty Dark Bear!’

The bear wanted to shout that, but…

"Can you please lead us to the reference point?”

Cale’s face looked relaxed, as he calmly commented.

“If you don’t want me to kill you.”

There was something Cale figured out while playing this game.

A player had to reveal their name for it to pop above their heads.

Or if someone discovered their names.

Of course, Count Ruiphe’s name was shown as soon as they entered his secret room, but that was not his full name. His name had changed when Cale learned that he was the Third Evil.

Cale realized that there was a rule when he came here and the Bear did not recognize him.

That was why Cale introduced himself to the bear.

“I am the Third Evil’s hidden final boss.”

He said it despite it being so embarrassing.

"Cale Henituse.”

“Mmph, mmph!”

The bear looked completely scared as he cried.

Cale removed the gag from the bear’s mouth and asked.

“Now do you feel like talking?”

The shaking bear’s gaze moved on top of Cale’s head.

[A Half-Demon who has the cursed blood and the hidden boss of the secret 100th floor of the Hell of Darkness, The True Ruler of the Third Evil, Cale Henituse]

The bear gasped.

“H, Half-De- eeek!”

The bear fainted without finishing his sentence.

“What is up with this guy?”

Cale looked at the group and asked.

Raon answered.

“Human, what is up with your name?”

Raon had a blank look on his face while looking at the name on top of Cale's head.

“Hmm?”

Cale became anxious.

He could not see it.

For reference, Cale was still only temporarily registered and in the process of going through the official registration.
