Everybody seemed to be using all their powers as if there was no tomorrow. He needed to stop that.
They needed to conserve some strength to escape from the palace and reunite with Bud�s side.

� �Excuse me.

The fake World Tree cautiously started to speak at that moment. They could chat because there were branches still holding Cale up.
Cale looked toward the World Tree.

�Cale-nim.�

However, Choi Han called out to him, making him motion for Choi Han to hold on for a moment. However, he turned toward Choi Han after hearing what he said next.

�This fake tree is being controlled by Elisneh. It is resisting it right now, but it can only maintain that for about 20 more minutes.�
��20 minutes?�
�Yes. That is why we planned to destroy the maze during that time, injure the enemies as much as possible, and leave with you, Cale-nim.�

Cale started to frown.
It was only 30 minutes if he added the time he had been unconscious. It was a short amount of time.

�Were you all attacking at full strength because you didn�t have much time?�
�That is correct. I thought that escaping was the most important thing right now. I also thought that it would be difficult for Elisneh to cast an illusion properly if we were running wild like this.�

Choi Han was correct.

�That is true, but��

�Choi Han. You can�t use all of your strength without saving any for when an urgent situation might pop up later. Make sure nobody goes overboard.�
��I understand.�

Choi Han was silent for a few seconds before responding.

However, Cale turned his gaze after feeling an odd sensation only to find Pendrick looking at him with an odd expression.

�What is it? Do you have something to say?�
�N, no.�

Pendrick was shaking his head but still looking at Cale with disbelief.
He could clearly see that Cale was pale and had dry blood on his lips from using his ancient powers. That was why he couldn�t believe what Cale was saying.

��He truly cares more about his friends than his own body. No wonder he was able to overcome the illusion.�

Pendrick understood what Choi Han, who was standing there with a stiff expression, must be feeling. Anybody serving such a liege would feel frustrated but also respect that person.

Cale opened his mouth to speak.

�First, let the others know that I woke up-�
-H, h, humaaaaaaaaaaan-!

��Ha. Something always pops up when I try to do something.� JrNovels.com
