�Cannot say too much.�

He kept ending up being dragged into messes the more he talked to someone. Cale turned away from Pendrick and started to walk in the opposite direction. He was heading toward the top of the pit.

Crumble. Crumble.

The black rocks broke as he stepped on them. Cale�s red hair fluttered in the wind.

�He�ll stop thinking about me now.�

Of course, Cale was wrong.

�Sir, did you earn an ancient power?�

Cale did not stop walking, even after Pendrick started to speak.

�Yes.�

He gave a short answer.

Pendrick flinched at the cold and indifferent voice. He looked at the back of the man who was walking away.

Why would Pendrick have come here even though the village was in trouble? It was because of the scary feeling he got from the lava.

Pendrick was aware of his status as an Elf who could not handle an Elemental.

The only things that he had going for him were his healing and fighting abilities.

For someone like him, that scary lava was a tempting power. He wanted the power to help his village. He thought that the fire might be able to burn that thing that was a poison to the Elves.

However, ancient powers were things that required a lot of luck to acquire. They were said to have predestined owners.

�Excuse me!�

Pendrick started to run toward Cale.

Cale flinched at the sound of someone running toward him.

�Why is he following me?�

Cale started to walk faster. However, he still responded to Pendrick.

�What is it?�

�Could you please lend me the strength of your ancient power?�

Cale thought that he shouldn�t have responded. JrNovels.com
