Trash of the Count’s Family

ll Toonka and the Whipper Kingdom into the castle.”

“Shes right! Even my great and mighty self thinks that the Empire was planning on using this dead mana bomb and the pillar of fire to blow this purple liquid up and kill everyone!”

“It makes sense. The fire would burn everything black, thus making it easy to hide the evidence of their use of dead mana bombs.”

“Its true! After not finding anything in the castle, Harol would have no reason not to enter. Once he does, this castle will go Boom!”

Boom!

Raon drew a large circle with his front paw.

“They ’ll blow up and die!”

“You ’re right. Even if they do not all die, the Empire will have succeeded if some people end up being poisoned by the dead mana. As for Toonkas side that is deemed to not have any mages, they would need to escape from the pillar of fire while poisoned.”

“That is difficult for anybody else other than that idiot, Toonka!”

Raon stopped there and looked up at Cale.

Tap. Tap.

Raon lightly tapped on Cale ’s leg with his paw. Cale caressed Raon ’s round head.

“Good job.”

Hehe. Raon snickered and looked proud.

“I really am great and intelligent! I am great even if my first growth phase is slow!”

“Yes, yes.”

Cale played along. The sound continued on even at that moment.

Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.

Cales gaze headed toward the magic bomb.

This was not your average magic bomb.

A new device was hanging on top of the magic bomb. This device had the orb of raging mana hanging on it. The time was slowly going down.

27:13:44.

Rosalyn started to speak.

“I think that the Alchemists and the mages developed this magic bomb together. It seems to be a way to store the mages mana in advance in order to set the magic bomb to go off at a predetermined time.”

Magic bombs had the issue of needing a mage to set them off.

“They put a very faint amount of mana in the orb so that only a high-grade mage would be able to notice it.”

Although the mana was raging inside of the orb, there was only a small amount.

“Of course, based on the amount of mana in the orb, the strength of the magic bomb seems to be pretty weak. It seems to be only strong enough to break a boulder the size of an adult ’s head.”

However, this new magic bomb in front of them did not need to be any stronger than that.

“No matter what, it will have enough strength to set off the dead mana bomb.”

Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.

27:12:07.

Rosalyn, Raon, and Choi Han looked toward Cale.

Cale was smiling with a happy expression on his face.

“Lets pack them all up for now.”

Raon quickly started to put them into his alternate dimension as if he had expected Cales response. Rosalyn lifted up the orb with the purple liquid before she handed it to Raon.

Rosalyn flinched before she grabbed the magic bomb and asked Cale a question.

“What do we do about this timer? The magic bomb might go off if we remove the timer.”

Cale spoke with a smile still on his face.

“Then let it go off.”

“Excuse me?”

Clap.

Cale clapped once to get their attention.

“I ’m going to cause a typhoon, so it is not hard to set a bomb off with it.”

“Hes right! Lets set it off! Then we can take the timer device!”

Raon smiled brightly in joy. Cale patted Raon, who had the same thought as he did, on the head as he gave the order.

“Choi Han, Miss Rosalyn. Let ’s get started.”

It was now time to put out the fire.

“Yaaaawn, standing guard at night is the hardest thing to do.”

“But isn ’t it better than fighting?”

“That is true.”

Of the soldiers who were standing guard around the pillar of fire surrounding the Maple Castle, the ones facing the Whipper Kingdoms base on the East were chatting with each other in order to stay awake.

One of the soldiers looked toward the still brightly lit patient tent and started to speak.

“They are really good people.”

“They are. Did they say they know the Commander-nim?”

“Yes. That seems to be the case. They said that they stopped by while they were traveling the continent to heal our injured.”

The people that the soldiers were talking about were the five priests.

“They are taking turns healing the patients starting tonight?”

“Yeah. It must have been hard for all of them to pull all-nighters last night.”

“That makes sense. I ’m really thankful for them. They ’re not getting anything out of this.”

The soldier nodded his head at his friends comment before looking back at the pillar of fire. The fire made it difficult to breathe if you approached it.

“Now, it would be great if we could do something about this fire- huh?”

The soldier looking at the pillar of fire flinched. There was a different noise in addition to his voice.

Craaaackle.

It was the sound of fire burning. There was also a different noise.

Ruuuumble.

It was the noise you heard before a thunderbolt would strike.

The soldier raised his head.

It was the night of the new moon. However, the sky that used to still have the bright stars had changed.

The sky was now covered in a black cloud, making them unable to see the stars.

Ruuuumble.

The sound you hear before a thunderbolt strikes echoed in the soldiers ear again.

“Huh?”

And then, in the night sky…

Boooooooom!

There were flashes of light as an explosion occurred.

“W, what the!”

It was not a thunderbolt.

The soldier could see two people wearing black masks and black outfits getting surrounded by a red light.

One of the two people who were standing above the pillar of fire started to shoot fireballs toward the sky.

Boom, boom!

The fireballs ran into each other and started to make noise.

“Hahaha~!”

They then heard loud laughter.

The soldier started to speak to his friend.

“H, hey, hurry up and go report this!”

“I got it!”

The other soldier rushed toward the base. However, there was no need to do that.

Paaat, pat.

Multiple tents started to turn bright. Then the chiefs and the soldiers started to come out of their tents. The soldier clenched onto his spear as he saw them coming out.

Ruuuumble-

The night sky started to rage. Small sparks started to appear from the black clouds.

A storm, no, a typhoon seemed to be brewing.

“Hahahaha!”

The masked individuals continued to laugh as they shot magic into the air.

Magic was a source of fear and anger for the Whipper Kingdom. Both anger and fear filled the eyes of the soldiers who were seeing magic again.

There was another person looking at the two people shooting magic into the air.

Cale, who was standing on top of the Maple Castle while observing the pillar of fire that was even taller, looked toward Rosalyn and Choi Han.

“Wow, Miss Rosalyn is doing well as expected. Choi Han is doing well too.”

Rosalyn was shooting magic while Choi Han was laughing as loudly as possible.

They looked like stereotypical villains.

Cale looked up at the sky.

The rain cloud was only over Maple Castle.

It seemed like a storm would start at any moment.

Swooooooosh-

The strong wind started to blow even stronger.

“Raon is amazing as well.”

Cale finished his short assessment and opened his hand.

Oooooooong-

A blue light started to form from the necklace around Cales neck.

It was the Dominating Water.

This water was making its appearance again.

One drop. Two drop.

Multiple drops of water started to appear in the black cloud. Cale increased the number of water drops as he started to speak.

“Lets get started.”

I got it.

Raon removed the timer.

Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock-!

The timer stopped. Raon then threw the magic bomb higher than where Rosalyn and Choi Han were standing.

A moment later.

Baaaaang!

A loud explosion echoed in the sky.

The magic bomb went off in an area with no people.

At the same time, Cale opened his eyes.

Drip. Drip.

It started to rain one drop at a time.

The rain soon limited everyones vision.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-

The Dominating Water started to pour down upon Maple Castle.

A strong rainstorm surrounded Maple Castle.
