TCF2 - 3

"What the hell is going on?!”

“I think the sound came from the door!”

The building beyond the door became rowdy.

The guard at the door recognized Cale and Choi Han but had to complete his duties despite his mind being a chaotic mess.

“I, intruders!”

“There are intruders! They are-”

One of the guards clenched his eyes shut and shouted.

"Com-”

Plop.

The eyes of the man who was about to shout, Commander, opened wide.

Choi Han, the youngest sword master and the pride of the Roan Kingdom, the person who had destroyed the door, had placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Quiet.”

Choi Han was looking at the guard with a sunken gaze. The guard had no choice but to close his mouth. Choi Han resembled a sword right now.

He felt as if he would be cut in two if he went against Choi Han's words.

Swooooooosh-

The guard then saw Commander Cale with whirlwinds by his feet.

"Choi Han, you start from the bottom and come up.”

“Yes, Cale-nim.”

"Raon, you stay alert and immediately head to the location if mana changes somewhere in the middle of the building.”

- Human, what about you?

Cale lightly kicked off the ground.

Swoooooooosh-

Cale shot up to the sky with a strand of wind behind him.

“I’ll start from the top.”

Cale then sent the whirlwind in his hand out like an arrow.

Bang!

The top floor of the building... The central terrace window on the fifth floor was destroyed.

“I will start from the top and head down.”

- I understand, human! I will keep an eye on the mana to make sure nobody teleports away!

Cale quickly nodded his head and moved efficiently through the broken terrace window.

Smile.

He then smiled.

“What the? Did you know that I was going to come?”

The fifth floor was quiet unlike the rest of the building, which was as chaotic as the first floor.

Instead, there were people who looked like knights pointing their swords at Cale.

He could see a luxurious door decorated in gold behind this wall of people.

“Mm. I guess it doesn't look like they knew I was coming.”

All of the swordsmen except for the person standing at the center of the group were unable to hide their anxiety.

Swooooooosh-

A whirlwind started to roar as it gathered in Cale's hand once again.

“...We cannot allow such intrusion even if you are the Commander.”

The person standing at the center spoke extremely calmly.

“We will have no choice but to attack you if you attack us first.”

Cale responded to him.

Swoooooooosh-

He responded with his whirlwind.

Chhhhhh--!

The swordsman who seemed to be the leader sliced through the whirlwind with his sword. There was a faint trace of aura in his attack.

"Attack!”

The swordsman charged toward Cale after receiving that order.

“Ugh!”

“Shit!”

However, Cale had used the whirlwind by his feet to jump up into the air when he launched the other whirlwind, allowing his body to easily pass over the wall of swordsmen.

“There’s no need to fight.”

“Mages!”

A swordsman shouted and the mages standing at the end of the hallway launched their attacks.

‘The Flynn Merchant Guild really did get much larger.’

Cale had that thought as he leisurely reached a hand out.

Paaaat.

Silver wings appeared as a half-transparent silver shield surrounded Cale.

Baaaaaaaaaang---!

All of the spells touched the shield and exploded without any results. Cale then believed in the momentum of the wind and the sturdiness of the shield to...

“H, he's going to crash!”

“Dodge, dodge it!”

He just flew toward the door.

The people standing in front of the door naturally dodged him.

“It’s okay! We used magic to securely lock the door! Don’t miss this opening and bind the Commander!”

A swordsman shouted from the back and Cale let out a sigh.

“...I'm a bit strong now.”

‘I fought against the White Star. I fought against a damn god.’

Unless this barrier spell was cast by a Dragon or someone as skilled as Rosalyn...

Baaaaaaaaaang-!

He was strong enough to break it with a force greater than what the barrier could handle.
