A large wave rushed toward them.
“Ugh! Everybody hold on to my body!”
Archie shouted urgently. The waves produced by the bomb were still dangerous, even though they were outside of the explosion’s range. Cale, along with everyone else, quickly laid down flat to hug Archie.
Cale looked toward the source of the loud noise behind the tall waves.
Booom-
Guuuuuuuuu-
Splaaaaaash.
A bright light rushed out of the island in the midst of all of those noises. Cale could see that a black smoke had taken its place once he could open his eyes again.
All sorts of debris were flying out from within the black smoke.
Cale’s jaws dropped.
“...This.”
It looked like the whole island was floating away as it broke down into small particles of dust.
“...Is much stronger than I expected?”
He had never expected this much explosive power, even though he knew that the bombs would be stronger than average. He did claim that he would destroy the island, but the impact of the explosion on the ocean was huge.
Raon, who looked calm and composed, tilted his head in confusion.
“Wasn’t this what you wanted, human? I thought you meant it when you said you wanted to destroy it. That’s why I fortified the bombs a couple more times.”
This was the result of a miscommunication.
There was no need to fortify those strong bombs.
Cale continued to hold onto Archie’s back tightly as he looked around the destroyed island. All he could see was the black smoke where the island used to stand.
“Move farther back.”
Archie flinched before quietly moving as Raon instructed. Cale could not take his eyes off of the ocean. The black smoke slowly started to dissipate and the island reappeared.
Guuuuuuuuu-
The cliff that they were standing on earlier was slowly crumbling. It was like dominos after that. The entire island soon started to sink into the ocean.
Aaaahhh!
Kiiiiiiiiiii-!
It was faint because they were far away, but Cale could hear both humans and mermaids screaming.

The water rippled as Witira shot up into the air.
“Attack!”
Following the large Humpback Whale’s command, the Whale Tribe, whales, and the oceanic beast people all rushed toward the crumbling island. The people escaping from the island needed to face Witira’s whip.
“...What a terrible sight.”
It was a selfish thought, and he was the one who caused this to happen, but he felt uncomfortable looking at the mess. That was why he just wanted to live a peaceful life.
Cale’s eyes grew cloudy as he looked out toward the ocean. The way he was looking out made it seem like there were a lot of complicated emotions going through his mind.
Raon started to speak at that moment.
“It is a problem that you’re so compassionate, but that is also your strong suit.”
‘What? Compassionate?’
Cale was shocked. Would a compassionate person think about destroying an island?
Raon continued to speak.
“We did the right thing for that old human, as well as for Beacrox, who helped out with my revenge.”
That did not necessarily mean it was the right thing, but Cale wasn’t the type to always do the right thing.
- Plus, didn’t you say they were part of the organization that handed me over to the Marquis? Even if they are not the actual people who did that, they are all the same.
Cale looked up at the sky after hearing Raon’s words. He then patted the Killer Whale’s back.
“Let’s go.”
Archie quietly moved toward Hais Island 12.
“I guess there wasn’t a need for Lock or the children to get involved.”
“Indeed.”
Cale could see Hais Island 12 as he responded to Choi Han. He could see the Wolf children with the whales. Choi Han, who had been looking at them as well, started to frown.
“Cale-nim, did you order them to stay like that?”
“Yes.”
Choi Han looked toward the Wolf children before shutting up at Cale’s stern response. He was just thankful that there wasn’t a need for them to get involved.
Hais Island 12 was about ? the size of Hais Island 5. The large Killer Whale quickly approached the small island.
‘Now I just need to wait for Witira to bring over a mermaid corpse.’
Cale was pretty satisfied with the results of this operation.
It was at that moment.
“I’m going to kill you!”
‘Hmm?’
Cale turned his head. Raon immediately spoke into Cale’s mind.
- I am going invisible.
‘Why so suddenly?’
“That bastard.”
Bang!
A part of the ship broke off. Rosalyn used this moment to toy with the swordsman who was covered in her golden aura.
“I’m not sure. Who do you think we are? You can’t tell?”
Choi Han heard Rosalyn teasing the swordsman before blinking his eyes and shouting toward Redika.
“We are the secret organization!”
Sigh.
Cale let out a sigh after hearing Choi Han’s loud voice. He didn’t mean for him to say it out loud like that. But it didn’t matter as long as they kept their identities a secret.
“Archie, let’s get closer to the island.”
“...Yes sir.”
Archie watched Choi Han, Rosalyn, and the Wolf children on the whale fighting the members of Arm as he slowly headed toward Hais Island 12.
Archie couldn’t help but think that Cale’s group was really strong.
Bang!
Aaaaah!
He heard something breaking and someone screaming, but it was not one of Cale’s people. Archie couldn’t help but wonder how such strong people were all serving one person.
“I will make you bleed as well! Ugh, I’m going to kill you!”
Redika must have been having trouble with his levitation magic, as he floated very close to the water while casting his attack magic toward Choi Han. However, Choi Han was still able to easily handle all of Redika’s attacks with his aura.
“Show me what you got. I’ll play with you.”
Choi Han confidently answered back before moving even closer to Redika. He was moving very slowly, as if he was cornering this blood-covered human who was slowly losing his rationality from the mana explosion.
“Ugh, die!”
Redika’s mana shot out like it was exploding. Choi Han kicked off the whale in order to dodge.
Bang!
Hais Island 12 was hit by Redika’s blast and some rocks shot up into the air. Choi Han didn’t care, as was currently rushing toward Redika.
Rosalyn was in a similar situation.
“Wow, unni, you are so strong.”
“Right? I am a pretty strong mage.”
Rosalyn and the swordsman seemed to be casually fighting. However, the ship continued to break as the two continued their battle.
Archie was amazed that such strong people were all gathered together. However, Archie could not cover the shocked expression on his face at what happened next.
“...Young master Cale, what are you doing?”
Cale pretended not to hear Archie’s voice as he climbed off of Archie’s back.
Splash.
He jumped into the water that was about chest level.
Cale then moved to hide behind the large Killer Whale.
The invisible Raon was currently hanging on Cale’s back.
- Human, is there a reason you need to hide behind this Whale?
‘Of course. I won’t be seen if I hide behind something this big.’
Cale did not respond to Raon’s question and only said what he needed to say.
“Let’s destroy it.”
Archie flinched after hearing Cale’s voice.
‘Again? You’re going to destroy something else?’
But Raon was still calm.
“Alright, human.”
Archie flinched again. He couldn’t see the Dragon, but he had definitely just heard him. The small Dragon said that he was going to destroy it. Archie just kept his mouth shut.
“Let’s give them what they deserve.”
Raon decided to punish the members of the organization that was the reason he was abused for his first four years.
Oooooooong-
“Holy crap.”
Archie, who was planning on keeping his mouth shut, could not help but speak.
A large number of thin and small mana arrows filled the sky.
“Aaaaaaah!”
At that moment, Choi Han cut off Redika’s right arm and watched it fall into the water.
The blonde swordsman looked up toward the sky.
“...Unni, you have another mage as well?”
“Didn’t I tell you we are a secret organization?”
The swordsman started to gather her golden aura as much as possible. Rosalyn scoffed at her before saying just one thing.
“Retreat!”
The Whales quickly started to retreat. However, there was no need to do that.
“Fire.”
The moment Cale instructed, the numerous mana arrows all fired accurately toward the ship the swordsman was on.
“Retreat!”
The blonde swordsman shouted as her golden aura shot out toward the arrows. However, her golden aura was not strong nor wide enough to defend against hundreds of arrows.
“Dragons really are mighty.”
Cale was in awe as he watched the remaining arrows hit the ship.
Bang! Bang! Boooom!
Many different noises of explosion filled his ear.
1. Unni is the Korean term for older sister when said by another girl. It has a similar definition as noona, but from a girl to a girl rather than boy to girl.
