Trash of the Count's Family

“Ugh!”

However, being annoyed wasn’t the issue right now.

‘Holy crap!’

The small scale turned red. It resembled a red ruby. The pressure became stronger.

Honestly speaking, Cale couldn’t really figure out how to express this pressure.

It was different from Dragon Fear.

However, it was similar to it.

It felt as if an existence that was not human was trying to push Cale down.

‘Fuck!’

Yes, based on that story, the presence could be intense because it was the only thing left behind by that amazing imugi.

It seemed like a stubborn imugi so it might not want to be consumed by Cale.

However-

‘Why is it not coming off?!’

The scale showed no signs of getting away from Cale’s hand.

The scale was stuck to him even when he flailed his hand to get it off.

‘That’s odd.’

This scale was really weird.

“Cale-nim, should I call the Fist King over?”

Cale nodded his head at Choi Han’s urgent question.

“Yeah, call him here!”

‘Motherfucking Emperor and the motherfucking Fist King!

They should have told me if they knew this would act like this!

That way, I would have been cautious when absorbing it!’

Ooooooooong-

“Ah, seriously?!”

Cale turned his head.

The white crown in his other hand… That bastard was shaking and going crazy.

It still had that disgusting black vortex in the white jewel and was desperately shaking.

“Come on!”

Clang!

Cale slammed the crown on the floor.

– C, Cale.

The middle-aged voice of the Dominating Aura was anxious but Cale didn’t care.

Cale had already thrown this crown to the ground and stomped on it in the past in the Gorge of Death when this crown consumed the Dragon half-blood’s blood and tried to direct its mouth toward Raon next.

Its durability was reliable since it was fine at that time.

Clang, clang! Clang!

He slammed it into the stone floor three more times.

Oo… oooooong……

But rather than the shaking stopping…

Oong, oong oong!

The shaking grew stronger as if it was resisting.

“…This little punk?”

Cale’s face turned odd.

This crown had not wanted something this badly in the past.

It was said to consume Dragon’s blood, but it had never released its presence and desired it like this.

In fact, it was a bit interesting that it wanted a small scale that didn’t even belong to a Dragon this much.

“Mm. Ah, seriously?!”

Cale was about to contemplate something but he could not do so.

The pressure had gotten stronger despite the fact that he was using the Dominating Aura. His gaze headed toward the hand holding the scale.

“Huh?”

‘…This looks serious?’

The red light coming out of the scale became even stronger.

It felt as if he was holding a large torch in his hand.

Tatatap, tap!

He heard some urgent footsteps at that moment.

“How is that possible?!”

Cale looked toward the Fist King after hearing his anxious voice.

“Gasp.”

The Fist King could not breathe properly.

“Mm.”

Even Choi Han flinched and looked at Raon. Raon nodded his head and cast a shield around the Fist King, Choi Han, and himself.

“Haaaaa.”

The Fist King could finally breathe properly. But he quickly became shocked and started speaking with a look of urgency on his face.

“This makes no sense!”

‘What is that old man saying?’

The moment that Cale, who was watching this and slowly raising the strength of his Dominating Aura, was slowly getting more annoyed…

“I’ve never seen that scale being red! The scale is black!”

He seemed completely flabbergasted.

“What we know about this scale through the books says that it may disappear once it leaves the area around the volcano so make sure to create a formation before it is used! That is why the formation around it had the power of fire in it as well! The reason I didn’t explain this in detail was because young master Kim has the aura of fire! But for it to release a power like this-”

Cale realized something after seeing the Fist King unable to speak.

‘This scale…

It disappears once it leaves fire……?’

Cale stared at the scale that was releasing such a strong pressure but refusing to get away from him.

He then used one of his powers against it.
