Chapter 382: 382
The spear made of rock crumbled into pieces .
Baaaaaang!
The small pieces of rock shot out in all directions .
Crackle .
A pillar of fire shot up into the air .
Cale could see a sword made of fire .
He could see the White Star glaring at him from behind the fire sword that was shooting up toward the sky .
The stone spear Cale shot out had broken .
However, Cale was not affected very much because it was just one small stone spear .
Cale who made eye contact with the White Star shouted out .
“Ron!”
The White Star had let go of the wind whip .
The wind whip started to move on its own .
Fliiiiiiiick!
The wind whip turned into a whirlwind much stronger than before as it followed the path of the whip like a wave over the white pebbles .
The path of the whip was slightly to the side of Choi Han and the white shield as it aimed for someone behind them .
Choi Han followed the wind whip wave, but the wind was faster .
The true appearance of the White Star's wind attribute ancient power was revealed .
The strength and speed of this whirlwind were incomparable to Cale's usual whirlwind .
Hong who was next to Raon shouted in shock .
“Grandpa!”
The wind whip, the whirlwind that was in the shape of a large snake, overwhelmed Ron and the mage .
Baaaaang!
They heard another explosion .
“Father!”
Beacrox shouted and Choi Han who had been running toward Ron flinched .
Something shot into the air at that moment .
It was Ron .
There was a white shield underneath his foot .
The white shield was helping Ron float in the air .
“Shit . ”
However, Ron did not look very happy .
He frowned after looking at his empty hands .
“…Cough! M, my liege……!”
The mage was out of Ron's hands now .
Swooooosh-
The wind whip cut through the white pebbles and moved the mage away from Ron .
“…Ugh……!”
The mage poured some potion on his cut wrist before he placed a magic scroll there .
It seemed as if he was trying to stop the bleeding .
“Tsk . ”
Ron clicked his tongue while watching the mage’s actions .
‘Too bad . ’
The one the White Star was aiming for with the whip the whole time was the mage . That was why Ron could not help but lose the mage as he shot up into the air along with the white shield .
“…My liege!”
The mage’s eyes were full of admiration .
His liege the White Star was someone who did not care much for his subordinates . His loyalty could not help but become stronger having such a person rescue him .
However, the mage's pupils quickly started to shake .
“Cough!”
The White Star was coughing up blood .
He had been paying attention to Cale the whole time he was saving his subordinate .
It was quiet for a very short duration of time .
Nobody dared to say anything .
Drip . Drip .
The drops of blood that trickled down the side of the White Star's mouth and rolled down to his chin before falling to the ground dyed the white pebbles red .
The White Star could see something dark red .
“He, hehe…… . ”
He could see a person laughing with their mouth opened wide .
The inside of that person's mouth was completely covered in dark red blood such that you could not tell which part was the tongue and which part was the teeth .
That blood was flowing out in much heavier amounts than the White Star and dyed the person's clothes and everything else around him dark red as well .
“Looks like both of us cough up blood when we use our powers . ”
The White Star could see Cale looking at him and laughing .
On the other hand, there was someone who could not see Cale’s face at all right now .
Drip . Drip .
Mercenary King Bud Illis continued to observe the White Star as the dark red liquid fell from Cale’s mouth to his shoulder .
Cale had explained the plan to the group on the way back here . That explanation was delivered to everyone’s minds once more with Raon's magic .
‘Ron will attack the mage's hands and feet to interrupt the teleportation magic . ’
It went according to plan until that point .
‘Then I will strike the White Star with a stone spear . ’
Bud had asked about the plan as he ran with Cale on his back .
‘What about after that?’
There was no way the White Star would be so easily defeated .
‘Who knows? The White Star would probably run away?’
Cale had nonchalantly responded to Bud’s question .
‘We are not strong enough to kill the White Star right now . That is why it is enough to simply watch him escape while we hide . ’
Bud bit down on his lips while thinking about that conversation .
‘Escape my ass!’
The White Star who was staring at Cale did not show any signs of wanting to escape . Maybe it was an obvious reaction .
‘There’s no way he would run away after that stone spear . ’
There was only one large sharp stone spear .
Why would someone who could control the wind whip and a fire sword be afraid of a single stone spear?
Bud was starting to get a headache thinking about how to deal with this situation .
Flinch .
However, his shoulder soon shook slightly .
‘…Cale?’
Bud Illis opened his eyes wide .
“…Hey . ”
Cale was getting off of his back . Of course, he did not come down as if he was fine . Cale’s hands were shaking as he grabbed onto Bud's arm to get down .
Both of his legs were slightly shaking as he stood up as well .
‘…This isn’t an act!’
Bud could tell that Cale’s shaking hands and feet were not an act . This was because the shaking he felt was not something you could fake .
“Cale!”
Bud subconsciously called out to Cale in a quiet voice .
Cale and Bud made eye contact at that moment .

“I didn’t use it yet . ”
‘What?’
Bud did not understand what Cale was trying to say .
‘Didn’t use it?
What didn't he use?’
However, Bud quickly recalled the plan that Cale explained .
If Cale was to use his powers during this battle…
It would only be the stone spear .
‘…Didn’t he just use the stone spear?’
It happened the moment Bud’s eyes became full of confusion .
“You stupid idiot!”
He heard someone's voice .
Bud turned his head .
He looked toward the hole at the top of the large boulder dome . Ancient Dragon Eruhaben who was floating above the hole was the one who shouted .
“Cale-nim . ”
“Human!”
Bud could also see Raon and Choi Han who moved next to him, no, next to Cale at some point .
Bud then realized what Cale meant by stone spears .
He was not the only one who realized it .
Everybody here realized it at this point .
It could not be helped .
Oooooooong-
A strong vibration dispersed in all directions .
Craaaack .
The sound of something cracking filled the battlefield .
The large boulder dome .
That dome was starting to crack .
However, it was not breaking apart .
Boooom!
The boulders that made up the dome started to split .
Each boulder turned into a large stone spear .
The sharp spears all started to point toward the White Star .
“…Ha, haha . ”
The White Star was laughing in disbelief .
He had at least a one percent suspicion that Cale was faking it as he coughed up all that blood .
However, he had no reason to be suspicious anymore .
“You really, really want to try to end things today . ”
The way Cale's body was shaking was not something you could fake .
Why?
The White Star clenched his fist . It was because his hand was shaking as well .
He had clenched his fist to hide this shaking .
He then wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth with the back of his fist .
Cale started to speak to him .
“Of course . We need to end it now . ”
The White Star and Cale made eye contact .
“Before you manage to obtain an earth attribute ancient power . ”
The White Star started to smirk . He looked toward the Mercenary King who was standing next to Cale .
“Did you hear about that from the Mercenary King?”
“Of course . ”
Cale had no issues admitting to this . He then confidently added on .

“So, shouldn’t we kill you before that?”
The White Star’s right hand started to move .
The wind whip started to move as well .
“My liege……”
The wind whip lowered the mage next to the Bears . It then returned to the White Star's side .
The fire sword was still in his right hand and the large wind snake started to roar next to him .
Ooooooong!
The large dome had disappeared .
Instead, numerous stone spears were aiming at the White Star’s fire and wind .
“…Human . ”
Cale could hear Raon's voice behind him .
He also heard Bud's urgent whisper .
“Hey, you little punk! You didn’t explain that this was the stone spear! Are you not thinking about your own body? I thought you were going to let the White Star escape! But, but-!”
But what the hell was up with this situation?
It didn't seem like it would end easily .
However, Bud could not say anything else . Choi Han had grabbed his shoulder . Choi Han then whispered in his ear .
“…Everything you heard . You remember all of it, right?”
The things they had heard from Cale .
Bud’s expression changed . He knew what Choi Han was talking about .
It was at that moment .
Cale’s slightly shaking foot stomped on the ground .
Boom!
White pebbles shot up as the ground started to shake . Cale started to speak .
“All of you step back . ”
Cale moved his hand from Bud's arm and stood up straight on his own .
He pointed both of his arms toward the White Star .
Swooooooosh-
The wind surrounding the White Star became even stronger .
Cale started to smile while looking at that wind .
He heard the Super Rock’s voice in his mind . Are you really going to do it?
‘Of course . ’
Cale recalled Choi Jung Gun's ‘The Birth of a Hero . ’
What he was thinking about was the information that had been on one of the pages .
This part had been written in the Eastern continent’s common language .
< The final battle against the White Star who wanted to become a god . >
< That battle would have been impossible without the guardian . >
There had been information on the final battle .
The guardian was definitely talking about the Scary Giant Cobblestone .
< Although the sky looks down at everything from above, the place where everything lives on is the ground . Even the birds in the sky end up sleeping in their homes on the ground . >
< Thunderbolts, rain, and even meteors all fall to the ground . Yet the ground stays firm without breaking . >
< We were able to defeat the White Star after the Guardian of Boulder blocked all of the White Star's sky attribute attacks . >
Then there were the things Choi Jung Gun had written in Korean underneath it .
Those words were Choi Han’s thoughts and feelings about the final battle .
< This battle was extremely difficult because the White Star had both the sky attribute and earth attribute ancient powers . >
< However, if… >
< …Hypothetically speaking… >
< If the White Star did not have the earth attribute ancient power… >
< If Mr . Super Rock had both of the earth attribute ancient powers in the world… >
The current White Star only had the sky attribute without the earth attribute .
Cale had a single earth attribute power .
There were only two earth attribute ancient powers in this world .
Bud had asked Cale a question .

‘…Did you find it?’
He had asked Cale if he had found the White Star's weakness .
This had been Cale's response .
‘Probably . ’
Cale clearly recalled something else that had been written in Korean .
< Although the earth cannot defeat the sky alone, an easier battle would have been possible with the help of people who possessed the other attributes . >
This battle .
Cale needed to get the confirmation about the thing that he was currently uncertain about in this battle .
If he got the earth…
Would he be able to defeat the White Star's sky if he monopolized the earth attribute ancient powers?
He needed to find out .
Why?
Because Cale had the other attribute ancient powers as well .
Furthermore, his friends were strong even without ancient powers .
Cale stomped his foot once more .
Boom!
The ground continued to shake .
Choi Jung Gun had recorded the following .
< The sky can look down on the ground, but cannot destroy it . >
< The ground may look up at the sky, but will never bend its will . >
Cale started to speak .
“Attack . ”
The large stone spears headed toward the White Star .
He started to speak once again .
He was not the only one .
The White Star started to speak as well .
“Move!”
“Run!”
Move .
The children averaging nine-years-old, Bud, and Choi Han all moved in different directions with the others following behind them after hearing that statement . The others followed the children averaging nine-years-old .
Cale had told them the following .
‘We are not strong enough to kill the White Star right now . That is why it is enough to simply watch him escape while we hide . ’
Hide .
The group started to hide inside the white castle according to Cale's orders from before .
Cale and the White Star made eye contact .
The White Star had acted as if he was going to fight .
His wind whip created a large barrier .
It was a shield to defend against the stone spears .
A water wall was created underneath it .
The fire sword had disappeared .
Cale and the White Star .
The two of them looked at each other as they started to speak .
“You sly bastard . ”
That was what the White Star said .
Cale responded back .
“Good luck running away . ”
He then stomped his foot and ordered the stone spears .
“Chase them to the end of the world!”
The spear and the shield .
The roles were reversed this time .
