Present. That word made Cale�s eyes start to sparkle. Although he didn�t expect the soul to go crazy like this, the end was near.

�Just wait.�

The black branch started to sway, as if nodding at him. It felt like a scene out of a horror movie. Cale shivered as he started to move back through the fog. It was the middle of the morning now, but the sun was not out, and the fog continued to get thicker.

It looked like it would start to rain soon.

The siblings must have gone somewhere, as he did not see them, but Cale just thought they went to dodge the rain and put the third bag of bread in front of the man-eating tree.

�This should be the last bunch.�

The light inside the hole was now as white as the fog surrounding Cale.

�It should become transparent after I put this last bag of bread in.�

Cale was full of anticipation as he poured the last bag into the tree.

And finally.

Ooooooooooong-

A rumbling that was worlds different than the past rumblings poured out from the tree toward Cale. This rumbling, that was only aimed at Cale, did not catch his attention because of the hole that was starting to turn transparent. It should be dark inside the hole because of the shadow of the tree, but such a realistic situation did not occur.

That was the Ancient Power.

The moment Cale saw the Ancient Power, he could hear the voice that had been asking him for more food until now.

� It was so, so good!

That voice was � obnoxious.

� That soft texture of bread! I especially liked the third bag of bread you brought. I guess even food develops as time goes by. There was no such thing as bread back in my days! The wheat itself must grow on a really fertile land! Yes, not all wheat is the same �

�The voice was evaluating the taste of the bread.

A storm caused by the voice started to rush toward Cale.

�This wasn�t in the novel!�

The spirit that was tied down to the earth because of its grudge was resolving that grudge by evaluating the taste of the bread. Cale started to frown further. He was only thinking about the Ancient Power in �The Birth of a Hero.� This Indestructible Shield was the only Ancient Power that was written about in the novel but never claimed by anyone.

�No wonder nobody ended up taking control of it. But then why would the author mention something that could be useful but was never actually taken by anybody?�

That was the thought in Cale�s head, however, the obnoxious voice continued to chatter away, making him unable to focus.
