Trash of the Count’s Family

being stubborn, but please step back this time.
Don’t you always say something like this, Cale-nim? Children need to leave things to the adults.”

Choi Han had never spoken in such an uncompromising way to Cale before.
However, once they earn this earth attribute ancient power, they would properly start to prepare for the final battle against the White Star.
That was why he needed to act like this now.
If he didn’t do this now, he couldn’t imagine how Cale would act during that battle later, nor what Cale would try to sacrifice.

“I am more of an adult than you in terms of age, so Cale-nim, children like you should leave it to adults like me.
Do you understand?”

Cale listened to Choi Han ’s rambling before sharing his honest sentiments.

“No, I ’m not in much pain-”
“Ah, please!”

Cale slightly curled up in fear.

‘Did he just get angry at me?’

Cale was a bit scar, no, shocked.
However, he was telling the truth.
Cale was not in much pain because of the Vitality of the Heart.
There were a few times he had been in pain, but overall, it had not been very painful.

‘I’m not in much pain right now either.’

“And please, don ’t try to do everything on your own! Please?”
“…No, we’re all doing it together now?”
“Please! Please!”

Cale shut up after hearing Choi Han’s stern voice.
It was at that moment.
…The two of you should not argue.

‘Why is he chiming in now?’

The Super Rock suddenly acted all serious as he started to speak to Cale.
Did you know about this?

‘Know about what?’ Us ancient powers figured out an amazing truth.
Are you curious as to what it is?

“Cale-nim, you ’re giving up, right? I ’ll be in pain with you from now on.”

‘Ah, why are they both acting like this?’

It happened as Cale was about to frown.
You and the White Star have completely opposite powers.
“Huh?”
“Cale-nim, please don’t go, ‘huh?’ while feigning ignorance.
I won ’t be fooled.”

Cale ignored Choi Han for now.
He then focused on what the Super Rock was saying.
The White Star ’s Fire of Natural Disaster and your Fire of Purification.

Although the cheapskate was called the Fire of Destruction, his attribute was purification.
The Sky Eating Water is a spear.
Then there is the White Star ’s water wall.
It is the shield.
Your Sound of the Wind is ’storm and movement’ while the White Star ’s is a wind wall.
I don’t know about his wood attribute ancient power yet.

As the Super Rock mentioned, they didn ’t know about the wood attribute ancient power yet, but for some odd reason, all other attributes were opposites.
Finally, the rock that tries to defend and the blood-drenched rock.

The Super Rock calmly continued to speak.
You ’re afraid that your balance will be destroyed by adding another earth attribute ancient power, right? Your friend here seems to be worried about you as well.
He’s probably afraid that your balance will be destroyed by adding another earth attribute ancient power, right?

His calmness had a warmth to it as if he understood everything.
We worry about you as well.
Of course, we know that you weren’t in as much pain as that guy over there seems to think.
However, we want you to not be in any pain at all.
Anyway, we came up with a solution for you.

‘A solution?’

The Super Rock sternly started to speak as Cale’s eyes opened wide.
Take them all!

‘Hmm? Did I hear correctly?’ Once the White Star is dead, take all of his ancient powers as well.
It’s up to you whether you take the sky attribute ancient power or not, but grab the other attribute ancient powers.
Wouldn’t your body be back in balance then?

His body would be balanced as he would have two of each attribute.
You do everything and become the strongest.
Then the White Star would be gone, and you will be strong.
Nobody would be able to touch you even if you lived your life as trashy as possible! What do you think?

‘What kind of-’

Cale almost blurted his thoughts out loud but held it in.
Ahem, hem.
Of course, we thought about how you will be in pain because your body would not be in balance until you get those powers.
But you haven ’t forgotten, right?

The Super Rock sounded full of pride.
You have me and the Vitality of the Heart.

There was a time when the Scary Giant Cobblestone had turned Cale ’s body sturdy for three days in fear that his plate would be broken.
The restoration ability of the Vitality of the Heart had helped Cale survive as well.
And I will suppress my strength.
You can consider it almost as being sealed.
I can do that much for you.

Furthermore, if the Super Rock suppresses his strength to the point of sealing himself, the new earth attribute power coming into Cale’s body should not be that much of a burden.
Take it all and do as you wish! Hahahaha!

Cale started to think as he listened to the Super Rock’s refreshed laughter.

‘…That’s a good idea.’

It was a very good idea.
Telling him to take everything, it was an extremely large-scale suggestion that made Cale who didn’t care about power nor fame and only cared about money in order to live his slacker life start to get excited.
These odd punks he had not expected anything from had given him a great idea for the first time.

However.
What do you think?
“…Cale-nim.”

The Super Rock and Choi Han who were waiting for Cale ’s response finally heard him speak.

“I have a method too.” Huh?
“…Excuse me?”
“No, I ’m saying there is a way for me to get that power without breaking my balance and not being in pain.”

Tap.

Choi Han who had arrived at the peak at some point had a blank expression on his face.
He did not understand what Cale was trying to say.

‘Is there really such a method?’

Cale quietly whispered at that moment.

“Choi Han, you remember team leader Lee Soo Hyuk, right?”
“Ah.”

Something flashed through Choi Han ’s mind at that moment.

“I got one of the team leader’s abilities.
Which one do you think I got?”
“Ah.”

Cale continued to speak to Choi Han who could only make that one noise right now.

“Put me down.”

Choi Han immediately put Cale down.
Cale stood on the ground and looked around.
He could see the fog-covered mountain as well as the distant scenery.

“Screeeech-!”

He then turned his head to look at the snake that was chasing him.
The large snake’s eyes were looking at Cale as if it wanted to rip him into pieces, and Cale calmly started to speak as he looked at it.

“I ’m someone who prefers to not be in pain if possible.”

He really was that kind of person.
Cale was not planning on using any ancient powers from here on.

Rustle, rustle.

He undid his top button and the buttons on his sleeves.
Cale quietly started to mumble to himself while thinking about team leader Lee Soo Hyuk.

“Team leader, you knew I would do this, didn’t you?”

Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk.

A strong individual who was known for his multiple abilities.
He had a characteristic called, ‘slash,’ and another incompatible characteristic.
It was something that did not suit someone like him who was always carrying a sword.
Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk had used a single word to describe that power.

Embrace.

Whether it was a tangible item or an intangible power.
This ability allowed him to store anything in a set location.
It was completely different than his slashing ability that cut things.

“Alright, come to me.”

Cale opened his arms and welcomed the red snake.
Kim Rok Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk.
The two of their powers that coexisted in Cale’s body started to move.
