Chapter 53.5

Cale took out a knife. At that moment, the unconscious man’s eyelids started to flutter and his body started to twitch. “It looks like he’s going to wake up. Human, put the knife away!” The Black Dragon shouted and the man opened his eyes. The first thing the man saw was Cale lifting the knife up over his head. Cale smiled toward the Whale human in order to tell him to relax once they made eye contact. The Whale human’s eyes started to shake as the knife moved. Stab. The knife stabbed into the mermaid arm and cut through the skin. A fluid started to pour out of the cut arm. It was the mermaid’s blood. Once the arm returned to normal, the blood was restored as well. Cale started to speak to the still shaking man. “Good.” The blood poured out and fell onto the man’s leg. Sizzle. The green fluid on the man’s leg started to sizzle once it came into contact with the mermaid blood. Cale handed the bleeding arm to the man. “Drink it before the blood dries up. That is the best way.” Volume 5. This was the healing method Rosalyn discovered to heal Lock, who was injured after getting in a fight with a mermaid. It was a method that was still not known in this world. The eyes of this man, who seemed to be in his early 20s, started to shake again. It was the same for On, Hong, and the Black Dragon as well. In the end, the man got better. He had chosen to drink the blood after seeing that the dripped blood from earlier was indeed slowly curing his leg. Cale continued to speak while looking at the confused expression on the mixed-blood Whale’s face. “What? Aren’t you the one who killed this mermaid?” The man’s expression stiffened up. Cale started to scoff after seeing that expression. It was weird to see the Whale being so anxious after being asked if he had killed a mermaid. Cale then poured the remaining blood back onto the Whale human’s leg, before putting the arm back into the water. The arm started to dissipate inside the water as Cale watched. Cale continued to look at the arm dissipate as he started to speak to the Whale human. “If you’re a Whale, you probably need to return to the ocean by morning in order to recover completely. Get some sleep and return on your own.” The man’s face turned cold. It was a different type of viciousness than Choi Han. This was someone who was always looked down upon, someone who was always reminded he was not as good as the rest of his tribe members. This was a viciousness that could only come from such a person. “How did you know I was a whale?” “Who else could kill three mermaids?” “...I need to return home.” Cale felt like he would end up having to listen to a useless story, so he quickly waved his hand. “I have no desire to hear your useless story.” That was why Cale did not ask for the Whale’s name nor let Hans see the Whale. “I only saved you because I said I would when you asked me to save you.” Cale laid down on the bed. He needed to take a shower, but he was too tired for that right now. “I’m going to sleep. Be quiet on your way out.” Cale closed his eyes. There was nothing he needed to worry about since the dragon was there. He then remembered the last words the Whale King had said to Lock in the novel. This was why Kim Rok Soo chose to take action this time. He had experienced losing all of his family members himself. Of course, he had no plans on suffering a loss from this experience. The savior of the king’s son. Whether it is the current Whale King or the future Whale Queen, wouldn’t he be able to use this to his advantage? But, most importantly, the Whale Tribe had to win the war against the mermaids. Cale fell asleep with a calm mind. When he woke up the next morning, Paseton was already gone. The red kitten Hong reported to him. “He said he’ll be back at night.” “There really is no reason for him to do-.” Cale just shrugged his shoulders without finishing the sentence. However, a moment later, an even bigger feeling of, ‘was this really necessary,’ filled his mind. “Young master Cale! I’m sorry for coming over so early, but I needed to share some amazing news with you!” Young lady Amiru was smiling brightly. It was rare to see the usually calm Amiru this way. She seemed to have come straight from the sea, as she still had a raincoat on and other people were with her. “Do you know what it is?” “I have no idea.” Compared to the excited Amiru, Cale was calm. No, he was almost emotionless. “The whirlpool, the whirlpool in front of the central island has disappeared! It disappeared overnight without even a trace!” ‘I made that happen.’ Cale could not tell her he had done that, so he just looked away. Next to Amiru was the veteran fisherman and some knights, as well as Toonka. As described in the novel, Toonka had long brown hair like a lion’s mane. This man with a dangerous appearance that seemed like he could and would easily send an orc flying with a single slap, clicked his tongue and started to mumble. “How disappointing. I wanted to try jumping into that whirlpool. Should I jump into a different one instead?” He definitely was a crazy bastard. At that moment, Amiru started to talk excitedly to Cale once again. “Young master Cale! In return for the Henituse family’s investment, I want to show you the sight of a peaceful Ubarr sea. Will you go to the central island with me?” Cale needed to show some sincerity in this project until someone arrived from the Henituse territory. Cale smiled gently at Amiru and asked. “Is everybody here going over?” “Yes.” The corner of Cale’s lips shook at Amiru’s short answer. Amiru, who did not see that and only saw the gentle smile, pointed to Toonka and continued to speak. “Ah, this is your first time seeing this person, right? This is the person who was almost caught up in the whirlpool. Mr. Bob, this is young master Cale Henituse.” ‘Bob?’ Cale had an odd expression on his face. Toonka put a smile on that scary looking mug of his. It was even scarier than seeing an ogre smile. “Nice to meet you. My name is Bob.” Bob. Toonka really used a fitting name for an alias. It was as stupid as him. **** (PR: Beastmen shall have their tribes animal capitalized, normal animals shall not)
