"We are currently using a spell to detect any living beings starting from his Majesty's dwelling. However-"

"It was destroyed the worst."

Of this hill of crumbled debris of the King's Palace... The king's dwelling place was at the center.

Alberu closed his eyes for a moment, opened them back, and addressed the second prince.

"I will take care of things here."

"Then I-"

'Hyung nim is working too hard' Rovit thought as he started to feel bad for the crown prince

"You take the royal guards and check the barrier side. I need you to take care of figuring out who is responsible."

He was going to leave the defense of the palace to the second prince. Even if he was only giving some royal guards, it meant that he was giving the second prince some of the troops.

Robbit's eye shook 'Why would he want me do that' while alberu just smiled his usual smile

The second prince, who knew the meaning of such action, asked Alberu.

"...You want me to do that?"

"Yes."

The second prince was silent for a moment before he bowed his head.

"Okay. I understand... hyung-nim."

Tasha started to smile too 'Oho this is new, I hope this second prince doesnt ruin the trust alberu given him'

Alberu chuckled at how the second prince addressed him and then turned around.

"I trust you."

The second prince bowed and quickly started moving.

He seemed to have completely accepted Alberu as the crown prince and the future king.

Alberu and Robbit smiled at eachother and turned to look at the screen

As for Alberu, he was looking at Cale.

"I will do it, your highness."

Cale stepped forward.

Oooooong- oooooong-

The ground started to rumble with Cale at the center.

'Gasp' "Teacher you gonna use super rock!? thats so cool" Dodori said with a excited look

"Watch and learn Dodori" Mila said that with a smile on her face and dodori nodded

"Huh?! What the hell? Is it magic?"

"Tell them to stop if it is magic! The whole area might crumble if the rumbling goes wrong!"

"...It's the Commander-nim though?"

"I am no longer the commander tho" Cale said it like an grumble

"Once a commander is always a commander" Jung soo commented earning a glare from cale and he shut up

"Huh?"

"He seems to have come with his highness?"

The people, who had been frantically removing the debris, raised their heads.

- I guess it's my turn.

'!?'

"Who talked just now?" Eruhaben asked "It doesnt sounded like raon"

"It isnt me goldie gramp" Raon said as he munch on his food

"Its the super rock" Cale said nonchalantly

'Pfft' bud spilled his drink, many people look surprise and dodori looked excited

"AP talks" Taylor asked

"Are you serious right now cale?" Bud said as he wiped his mouth with his sleeves

"Yes i am serious, I told you during the wind island trip itself right?" Cale said it as its not a big deal

"I thought you were kidding" Before Bud can whine Dodori squeal "T-that m-means y-you can talk with the hero nim"

-'Hahaha what a cute child' Super rock said as he was amused

"Yes and he said you were cute child" Cale repeated

"Now i can die peacefully" Dodori said as he slump in the couch

"Just ignore him, he will be ok after few min" Mila replied 'When will this phase will be over'

'Is it possible?'

- I won't touch any of the debris surrounding injured people.

Dodori eyes sparked as he heard Super rock voice

"They have their own ego it seems" Glenn said as he was interested

The broken rocks responded to Cale's thoughts.

- I've done things like this quite often in the past.

"Quiet often" Raon asked as he tilted his head

"Poor hero nim tsk " Dodori said as he remember the contents of his book

During the ancient times, the Super Rock did more protecting than destroying and frequently rescued something or someone from broken things.

Everyone eyes soften most especially people from Roan as it is the land filled with boulder

- The King's Palace is something made from the ground and made from rocks in the end.

Cale reached his hand out toward the King's Palace.

Now this pile of rocks that had lost its glorious appearance...

Zed just sighed out 'Cale is really special'

Boooooooom-

The ground started to rumble with Cale at the center.

"...Ah."

One of the attendants, who had been moving a destroyed piece of marble, gasped.

Crack.

It started with the small pieces of debris.

One by one, the things that were made from materials mined in the mines started to rise up to the sky.

'I wanna do something like this too, its so cool' Dodori watched as his eyes sparkled 'Rocks are used for protecting so i will protect mama'

"Everybody stop your spells!"

The head of the Mage Brigade shouted and people started to move back.

The debris they were standing on started floating up as well.

'Cale-nim.'

Choi Han was looking at Cale.

Cale seemed more focused than ever before.

'This is harder.'

"Ofcourse its harder " Rosalyn replied with a frown 'It is so hard to do with magic because we need to detect the people and rocks ' "And to me destroying things are easier than protecting"

"I have to agree on it" Archie nodded and many of the people including choi han nodded

'Vicious people' Cale thought as he trembled

"The super rock will guide me so its easy " Cale said with a smile

-Ahem

- cale stop fucking boosting is ego

- shut up both of you

Choi Han knew it.

He knew that it was more difficult to control your powers to do something like this than to destroy things.

"The pillar!"

"Finally......!"

The people watching clenched their fists.

The 10 largest pillars of all pillars that had supported the King's Palace... Nine of those pillars shot up into the air.

Gasps of admiration filled the haul

"I wanna do something like that too hehe" Dodori exclaimed with joy

"This is enough, sir! This is enough to speed up the search!"

A mage shouted toward Cale in awe.

"There is a survivor over here!"

"Over here as well!"

"Good job my dongsaeng" Alberu said with a smile on his face 'I am really grateful'

"Seriously thats amazing" Rok soo said that with a amused smile

Cale turned his head toward Alberu.

"It is fine to rescue them now, your highness."

Alberu nodded his head and immediately raised his hand to give the order.

"Resume the search!"

- Human, I'll take care of moving things! Don't overdo it!

Cale smiled as he rubbed Raon's chubby back and whispered "Thank you raon"

Raon just giggled

Raon spoke into Cale's mind before the debris, pillars, and piece of the roof that were floating in the air moved to the rear garden of the King's Palace and other nearby gardens.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There were loud noises as the pillars were placed in the rear garden as if they were stabbed into the ground.

"T, this-"

The people who had seen Cale and the others moving through the sky or had heard information from the site at the King's Palace shouted to inform the shocked people of the palace.

"His highness came with the Commander-nim!"

"These are pillars from the King's Palace! His highness is here! Tell people that the Commander-nim moved them!"

Information about Alberu and Cale's arrival was spreading throughout the palace.

The anxiety, fear, and concern on their faces relaxed a bit after hearing that news.

"Well atleast the knights has calmed down" Whitira said with a chuckled "Now to the main problem"

However, the looks on the faces of the people at the site of the King's Palace was stiffer than before.

"...Too many-"

"Stop there."

A knight stopped a junior knight from speaking.

He could anticipate what the other knight was about to say.

Too many people died.

.....

people were blanking out while looking at the signs of people who had tried their best to escape, flailing around to survive. They blanked out looking at the pale faces of people they had greeted just a few hours ago this morning.

It was even more miserable at the bottom of the hill of the crumbled palace.

The parents are started to close the eyes of their children from watching this gruesome image

"Your highness."

The head of the Mage Brigade quickly followed behind the walking Alberu.

Alberu stopped in front of the only pillar Cale did not manage to move.

"...This person died."

The swordsman who was always by King Zed's side along with the Chief of Staff as if he was the guard...

Zed's eye shook as he saw them

"I- " Robbit cant fathom whats happened to his royal father

'shit, If the king is gone there will be a big imbalance in Roan' Alberu sighed internally as Tasha placed a hand in his shoulder saying its ok

That person was dead.

Alberu knelt down to look at the swordsman's corpse.

Cale stood behind Alberu and looked around.

This pillar was the pillar located in the king's dwelling, which meant that they were in the king's dwelling right now.

"...He couldn't even close his eyes."

"It looks like he was taken out in an instant without being able to react at all."

'I should find a way to destroy these hunters' Cale thought as he started to pay more attention to the screen

Alberu closed the swordsman's eyes after hearing Choi Han's comment. He then added on.

"There are no traces of the secret passage being used."

Cale and Alberu made eye contact.

"There are no signs that the secret passage I know about in the King's Palace was used."

"The Chief of Staff is not here either, your highness."

The King and the Chief of Staff disappeared without a trace.

'Pretty sure, the king of raon is connected with the hunters and even with his so called hunting dogs' Bud thought as he drank a cup of wine in one shot

The two of them looked at each other and thought of two potential reasons.

'Abduction or teleportation.'

"Probably abduction" Deruth said with a stern look on his face 'This man has too many secret'

"I have to agree with the duke henituse" Marquise taylor also replied with a serious look 'someone dare to destroy the king's palace no crumble it then it is probably kidnapping'

"Lets see what will happen gentlemen" Fredo said

The Chief of Staff was a mage.

The king either teleported away with the Chief of Staff or the two of them were abducted together.

'If the enemy is this strong then it is probably a abduction' Eruhaben thought as a frown is forming on his lips

"Either way, it is highly likely that he is still alive."

Alberu immediately stood up.

"Commander-"

"I will go visit the Duke's House of Orsena and the Flynn Merchant Guild, your highness."

"well the both house and merchant guild is hunters except for Billos" Deruth said as he looked at Zed who has no emotion on his face to read

Alberu pointed to Choi Han.

"Instructor-nim, you go with him too."

"Will you be okay, your highness?"

Alberu chuckled as Tasha gave a small smile to Choi han

Alberu chuckled after Choi Han asked with concern about Alberu's safety.

Choi Han thought that Alberu gave off a cold demeanor.

"Of course not. No matter who it is or what their goal is... I must find out the answer first."

"...I see."

Choi Han had the thought that Alberu would not lose to most individuals who messed with him right now.

Alberu smirked 'Choi han is very smart'

"We will head over first then, your highness."

A teleportation magic circle appeared under Cale's feet as he said that and Choi Han stood behind him.

- Human, should I take you to the Orsena Estate first?

"Is there a need to go somewhere that burned down first?"

The grey smoke shooting up beyond the walls of the palace...

He was certain that it was the Orsena Estate.

"The Orsena estate....." Rosalyn said that with a frown she has many things to complain but since she is not from Roan and she is sure that many people are keeping quiet because of their different nationality

Young lady Orsena was missing and most of the Estate was said to have burned down.

"!!"

"There is a youngest young lady in Duke orsena right?" Violan asked with a look of panic in her perfect demeanor

"T-thats right" Basen replied with a struggle

"Human we have help the youngest young lady first then" Raon said with a vicious tone and cale cant disagree with his statement

Cale recalled something the fake Hilsman, the man who ran off with his money, had said.

"Your maternal uncle" Rok soo said that to reduce some tension "sigh cant believe someone will scam you cale" he said as he smirk

Rosalyn, whitira, jung soo and some other chuckled

"I thought we were over this tsk" Cale grumbled 'I need to scam him back tsk'

'The second child of the Flynn family who has received young lady Orsena's sponsorship will soon become the merchant guild leader.'

"Sponsorship?" Rosalyn asked to Billos

"Y-yes it is true miss rosalyn" Billos said in shaking voice

The second child is aligned with young lady Orsena?'

The residences of the king and young lady Orsena, two people related to the Hunters... They were both destroyed.

If the Flynn Merchant Guild is still fine in such a situation?

"The Flynn Merchant Guild main location. We will head there first."

- Ah! I know the location because of Billos, that guy who spends money well!

Billos chuckled lowly

Ooooooooong-

The teleportation magic circle started shining and Cale's body started to become faint.

"I hope you will tell me everything, no matter what you find out."

"Of course I will do that, your highness."

Cale let the teleportation magic circle take him after that short conversation with Alberu and addressed Choi Han.

"Choi Han, pull out your sword."

"!"

'did something happened' Choi hand thought nervously as he looked at the screen

"Excuse me?"

As Choi Han asked back at the unexpected order...

Cale calmly continued to speak.

"We are breaking in right away."

'ooo nice it is way easier' Choi jung soo thought as he was lost in thought

Paaaat-!

Cale saw the bright light and closed his eyes for a moment. He could see the door to the Flynn Merchant Guild main location once he opened his eyes again.

The second child of the Flynn Merchant Guild who seemed to have aligned with the Hunters...

Billos's life was in danger as soon as the second child was named as the successor, leading Billos to come find Cale and ask him to destroy the Flynn Merchant Guild.

'tsk' Cale just clicked his tongue

"I hate the second son nya" Hong said and on just nodded

Cale had not managed to hear the details as Billos was not awake yet, but Billos was not the type of person who would ask him to destroy the Merchant Guild because of his emotions.

This Merchant Guild was Billos's dream.

Billos nodded in agreement 'This was my dream ever since i was matured enough to realize i cant even call my uncle 'uncle' and my brother 'brother' '

"W, who goes there?! Where are you from?! Identify yourselves!"

"...I, isn't that the Commander?"

The guards at the door pointed their weapons at Cale and Choi Han.

"Choi Han, we don't have much time."

Someone who might have information...

They needed to capture that person before they disappeared. If not, they at least had to find some traces of evidence the person left behind.

'Quick thinking' Zed thought 'He is really a sly bastard'

A sudden visit was best for something like that.

"Break the door down first."

"Yes, Cale-nim."

Choi Han immediately swung his sword.

Baaaaaang-!

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiing-!

A loud alarm echoed through the building as soon as the door broke.

"Busted?" Bud asked with a grin

"No one can escape from our young master nim tho" Cage said with a grin too
