Cale let Raon�s comments in through one ear and out the other. However, he could not ignore the World Tree�s comment.

� I plan to throw away three or four branches today.

�Branches? Tree branches?�

Cale had thought that the World Tree would care a lot about its body, so the fact that it was saying this gave him an ominous feeling. Although the tree was smaller than Cale had expected, it was taller than Cale and the branches looked quite thick and strong.

�Why would it throw them away?�

Cale opened his mouth to speak. However, the World Tree started to speak first.

� One.

The World Tree was planning on saying something it did not have permission to say.

During the time when darkness had descended on the world. Many lifeforms fought against each other at the time and the word, �peace,� was nonexistent.

The Dark Ages were also called the Warring Ages.

It was a time when a person would happily kill someone else for their own benefit.

The World Tree said the first thing.

� The person who is collecting ancient powers has collected a total of three ancient powers.

Cale flinched.

�It is not me if it is just three of them. There is someone else who is collecting ancient powers? Why?�

People currently saw ancient powers as just mediocre powers to have on the side.

This was because ancient powers had limitations. A power that could not develop could not reach greater heights.

Cale urgently started to speak.

�Why is someone trying to gather-�

However, he could not finish his sentence.

Boom!

Cale heard a loud noise at that moment. The ground also started to shake.

Something had fallen.

Cale tried to open his eyes. JrNovels.com
