Cale quickly lifted up the shirt that he was wearing.

�I did it.�

There was a small silver shield inscribed over his heart. It was different from a tattoo. Such a beautiful and fancy shield left its mark over Cale�s heart.

The shield will prioritize its owner�s safety above anything else. The location of that promise was at the heart. This shield will be with Cale until his heart stops beating.

�How nice.�

Cale could feel the strength wrapping around his heart. It was not causing any issues. In fact, it felt like the shield had surrounded his heart, and was doing its best to protect him.

Ancient Powers like this left their unique mark when they are activated.

Cale quickly used the method that was written in the novel to trigger the Ancient Power.

Paaaaaat.

The �Indestructible Shield� appeared in front of Cale�s eyes.

It was a silver shield that was just large enough to cover Cale�s upper body. There were two silver wings on both sides of the shield, which allowed the shield to move within a certain radius from Cale. The size of the shield was also controllable.

Cale started to control the size of this shield that already felt like it was a part of his body. This immediate familiarity was one of the special traits of Ancient Powers. That was why heroes used it, even if it was just as a support.

Cale started to smile.

�A maximum of two times.�

Cale was thinking in terms of Choi Han, the strongest person around him right now. The shield should be able to block two of Choi Han�s attacks.

�The strength of this shield is stronger than I expected. Why would the heroes not use it all the time?�

The Indestructible Shield, unlike its name, actually is capable of breaking. However, it does not disappear upon breaking. If the shield receives an attack stronger than its abilities, it will store as much of its strength as possible to protect the owner�s heart before it breaks. After a while, the shield will recover its strength and can be used again. The strength of the shield comes from the owner�s heart.

The beating heart. That heart becomes the strength of the shield. The heart strengthens the shield while the shield protects the heart. So, what would happen if the heart gets stronger?

�It will get even stronger.�

There were many ways to strengthen Ancient Powers. Cale will be strengthening this shield on the way to the capital.

Once that happens, he should be able to make a shield that can last 10, no, at least 5 minutes when someone of Choi Han�s caliber tries to kill him with all of their strength.

Ancient Powers, as seen with this man-eating tree, are difficult to earn unless you, �coincidentally run into them.� The person who knows the most about these �coincidences� in the first five volumes is probably Cale Henituse, well, the current Cale Henituse.

Cale started to smile. He reached out and touched the shield. It felt nice. However, there was one thing he didn�t like about it.
