Trash of the Count's Family

The Dragon half-blood could not believe it. He twisted his shaking lips to make an odd smile.

“Why are you telling me this instead of killing me right away if death is going to be more peaceful?”

“I don't want you to die peacefully.”

The responding voice was cruel and cold. The Dragon half-blood twisted the corners of his lips even more after hearing that Cale Henituse did not want him to die peacefully. Cale continued to speak at that moment.

“That is why I'm giving you the chance to choose.”

A chance to choose.

Those words echoed inside the Dragon half-blood's mind.

However, Cale did not care about how the Dragon half-blood was as he continued to speak. The dying Dragon half-blood did not have much time left.

“If you choose to live, then the power of darkness inside of you and your light-affinity will continue to clash. You will feel intense pain that feels like your insides are exploding daily, no, every few seconds.”

It was an unbelievable story.

The Dragon half-blood could not help but sneer.

“Hehe, that’s not possible. If I live, then my light-affinity will eat up this incomplete darkness once I get better.”

“That would be the case if you were a Dragon.”

“…What?”

The Dragon half-blood's pupils started to shake.

Cale approached him and quietly spoke as if he was whispering.

“You will become a human.”

Become a human.

“Traces of your power of light will remain, however, you will lose all of your powers as a Dragon.”

What would the Dragon half-blood consider as hell?

The first would be living as a human and feeling pain every few seconds.

“You will become a normal human and suffer in pain daily until you eventually end up dying.”

Cale didn’t speak this next part, but the key to the chains on the Dragon half-blood would be in Cale's hands.

“But you can live a bit longer if you choose life.”

Cale observed the Dragon half-blood whose lips were moving but were unable to say anything. There wasn’t much time left. The Dragon half-blood asked him a question.

“Are you planning on getting rid of Arm?”

“Why do you care? You're not even on my side.”

“Ha.”

The Dragon half-blood laughed in disbelief.

Cale's blunt response was like a knife. However, his continued actions did not seem like a knife at all.

“I will give you a bit more time to think about it. I have a lot of information to gather from you whether you choose to live or die. I need time to get all of that information.”

Choi Han, who had been listening to Cale and the Dragon half-blood’s conversation, flinched.

‘How is he going to heal the Dragon half-blood?’

He was not the only one with such a question. Everybody inside the wall made by the crows had the same question. Gashan, Witira, and even the Dragon half-blood were wondering the same thing.

However, the group could soon see the Dragon half-blood start to frown.

“Y, y, you told me to choose! What the hell are you doing? Did you want to make me face a painful death from that terrible thing?”

The fearful screams of the man who could not move sounded desperate.

It was the white crown.

The shining crown slowly approached the Dragon half-blood.

‘This terrible item!’

The Dragon half-blood had to listen to the crown that ate its blood since he was very young.

He still heard the sound of the crown, even when he went to sleep.

He also heard his own screams that were full of pain and fear.

“Oo oo oo, this, this, ugh!”

His eyes were full of fear as looked toward Cale while being unable to speak properly. Gashan nodded his head after seeing what was going on.

‘He really isn’t going easy on him.’

Cale sometimes acted without any hesitation. In fact, Cale was someone who was clear about his own actions and the reason behind them such that the shaman Gashan could not help but wonder how the eldest son of a small noble territory could develop such a personality.

The decisive decision-making to be capable of deciding between life and death was not something a person was born with. It was something that you gained from experience.

Gashan, who did not know what kind of experiences Cale went through in the past, silently observed Cale and the scared Dragon half-blood's conversation.

However, there was someone who was a bit anxious right now.

It was none other than Cale Henituse.

‘I told him that I’ll let him live a bit longer, so why is he like this?’

Cale was confused but still proceeded to move the white crown closer to the Dragon half-blood who seemed to be in a state of panic.

Make the jewel at the center of the crown drink the Dragon's blood. Then that monster can live a bit longer.

Cale moved the crown to where the Dragon half-blood was bleeding the most as the Dominating Aura had taught him.

It was the location of Choi Han’s attack.

The white jewel at the center of the shining crown touched where the Dragon's red blood was pouring out.

“Uuuuuuugh.”

Cale then started to frown.

It was not because of the Dragon half-blood's painful groan.

“Hoho-”

It was also not because of Gashan’s shocked laughter.

Slurp, slurp.

A mouth appeared on the white jewel. Well, a black swirl that was more like a black hole than a mouth appeared on the white jewel and started to slurp up the Dragon's blood. Cale had a disgusted frown on his face.
