To be more specific, it was covering Saint Jack, Beacrox, and the soldiers.
It was a shield with large silver wings opened wide.

This large barrier appeared in front of the soldiers� eyes just as the thunderbolt was about to strike down. It looked sturdy enough to defend against the thunderbolt.

�My money!�

They could hear the man in the black mask shouting from afar.

Riiiiiip.

The masked man was slowly ripping a spatial pocket bag apart. His movement seemed careful and hesitant.

�F*ck! Damn it!�

Cale had been hesitant until the last moment before he started to rip the spatial pocket bag with his dagger.

�Do I use the magic stones? Do I not?�

He had looked down.
The same amount of strength he used during the Whipper Kingdom�s battle against the Mogoru Empire seemed to be enough.
Normally, he would not need to strengthen the fiery thunderbolt.

�Who cares about a stupid promise?!�

However, he had made a promise.

�Human! Learn from today�s incident! You should not be in pain! It makes me sad, it makes gramps sad, it makes everybody sad!�

That was what Raon had told him after they were told that Choi Han had fainted.

�I�ll work hard so that I won�t worry you in the future.�

Cale had promised to work hard to not do that again.

�It�s not like I can break a promise I made with a child.�

It was a promise with a six-year-old who has not even gone through puberty! Furthermore, this was not someone who he could make a compromise with.
He could already imagine Raon sniffling and handing him a slice of apple pie.
He didn�t want to eat those soggy tear-soaked apple pies anymore. They were not tasty.

Cale started to frown.
His hand was shaking as he held the ripping spatial pocket bag in his hand.

��I shouldn�t faint if I strengthen it, right?�

Since the power of the fiery thunderbolt would get stronger, it should be easy to purify this dead mana lake that looked shallow. JrNovels.com
