Trash of the Count's Family

“Is this where I’m supposed to use that skewer stick?”

The ‘sword’ that the World Tree gave Cale through the healer Elf Pendrick was a wooden stick that was about as long as a chopstick.

Cale’s expression turned odd.

‘Did the World Tree look into the moment where I would get rid of the reincarnating White Star and give me that sword?’

His head tilted to one side.

‘I don’t think that that was the case.’

The World Tree had said that it was unable to see the futures of people with ancient powers clearly.

Cale recalled the moment he received the Sword of the World Tree.

It was when they had infiltrated the Molden Palace with Princess Jopis.

They had quite the battle in the underground area of the Molden Palace, working with the Elves to get rid of the problematic fake World Tree and carrying out the plan to defeat Elisneh the First, one of the White Star’s subordinates, and putting Princess Jopis in power.

Pendrick, an Elf who could not use Elemental Arts but had healing powers, had stealthily approached Cale in the middle of the battle.

He handed Cale something that was wrapped in silk as he said something.

‘Young master-nim. This is a sword the World Tree-nim gave me to give you.’

‘…A sword? This thing?’

‘Isn’t this just a branch of the World Tree?’

‘No, sir. It is a sword.’

Pendrick had shared what the World Tree had told him when it stealthily called him over before he came here.

‘Young master-nim. The World Tree-nim said to use this if you were in danger. If you stab this into a living being’s heart and cover it in blood, it’ll become a great weapon-’

‘The World Tree-nim said that young master-nim’s blood is special. She said that your blood has more life force and vitality than anyone else. That is why she said that Cale-nim’s blood was the perfect weapon against those with weak vigor or vitality.’

Cale started to speak while thinking about that moment.

“It is highly likely that the World Tree didn’t know either.”

The sword from the World Tree was given so that Cale could use it against the black fake World Tree and anybody who uses dead mana.

It probably had not considered the stick being used to take care of a reincarnator.

‘There’s no way to be certain, though.’

Cale decided where he would go next after leaving the Henituse territory.

“I’ll need to meet with the World Tree first.”

“Human, are we heading north before heading back to Puzzle City?”

“Yeah.”

Raon made a mental note about their next destination before tightly clenching his two front paws into fists.

‘I will not leave the human’s side! I will stick to him like glue!’

He would make sure that his human would not be able to push himself too much again.

Raon firmed his resolve.

Cale had no idea about this as he continued to read the addendum in the diary.

“The addendum is longer than the actual contents.”

Shhhh, shhhh.

Cale’s expression turned odd as he turned the pages.

The diary not only had the method of killing a reincarnator, it also had how to handle single-lifers, transmigrators, and immortals using the annual ring’s ability.

< Unfortunately, I cannot tell you anything about the Regressors because there is nothing I know about them. >

Cale made up his mind after reading this far.

‘…I should burn this last part later.’

It was information that would be bad for Choi Han and him if someone else found out about it.

‘I’m actually the ‘victim’ of a transmigrator and not a transmigrator, so it shouldn’t be bad for me. But it is extremely dangerous for Choi Han.’

He noticed that the characteristics of single-lifers definitely described Choi Han the more he read about them.

< Single-lifers are people who only have one life in this world. They might seem to have a terrible fate as they cannot reincarnate. >

< However, although my family does not know for sure, we believe that a single-lifer’s soul does not perish after it finishes its single life. >

< It is possible that the souls of the single-lifers ascend to a higher world after their death. We are only about ten percent sure about it, but we believe it is possible. >

A section of what he just read caught Cale’s eyes.

“…A higher world?”

‘Could it be?’

< The higher world could be the Divine World or the Demon World. It could also be something even higher. >

The Divine World and Demon World. The one higher than those would most likely be the World of the Gods.
