Who is the most dangerous of the Cale group?

Cale has taken a large number of strong people under him over the years. You could even say that he accidentally did the same thing that Nelan Barrow planned when he created the dragon slayer village. So what would happen if one of these people were to betray? Who of all these people would be the most dangerous?

There was already a situation in the past where White Star used an illusion to capture Choi Han and have him serve. If this situation were to repeat itself, who would be the best option for enemies?

I think that of all the people Eruhaben, Raon, Mary, Choi Han, and Cale would be the most dangerous. Of course there is still Alberu, but he because of being the future King.

Alberu

The future king, skilled in using dead mana, owner of Taerang. Like Cale, he is cunning, knows how to use people and is also a great actor. He has magical abilities and is talented in wielding weapons. In fact, if he were under control, the whole of Roan would be in the enemy's grasp. However, the dark elves would surely notice quickly and deal with him quickly.

Mary

She's one of the stronger people in the whole group. If they wanted to fight her, they would have to destroy the skeleton army first. However, people who have the purification power can fight her easily.

Choi Han

Very strong, has an aura, created his own unique power. He also has ancient powers and power belonging to CJS. However, if he was controlled and still had the same acting skills, they would have noticed rather quickly that something was wrong.

Eruhaben

An ancient dragon, possesses considerable knowledge, is talented in magic, knows how to wield weapons, and has a dangerous attribute. Cale extended his life, meaning he can use his powers without fear of his life being in danger. In addition, like most people in Cale's group, he is a great actor. He would probably be one of the toughest opponents.

Raon

Future Dragon Lord. His attribute makes him able to fight in any situation without fear of being affected by surroundings. He is great at using mana, he sees more than other dragons, even when it comes to time. He learned many things from Cale. However, he is not such a difficult opponent because he is still a child. He can't use dragon fear and dragon breath, he's still small and not a 20 meter dragon. It is still dangerous though.

Cale

And this is where the fun begins. He may be physically weak, but he is extremely intelligent, cunning and his plans are unconventional. His ancient powers are literally natural disasters. He also has the power to change his appearance after killing White Star. In addition, he has Drew's power and information from her on how to kill single lifers and other variables. For over 10 years he was a team leader, fought monsters, was a strategist. There's no chance he doesn't know how to use a waepons. If he is too weak to use a weapon, he can strengthen himself using Super Rock. He has a regenerative ability, his plate is his entire body, so he is much stronger. And he was even able to fight a dragon before. His aura is enough to make a person faint, let alone when he add the cape, crown, and blood drenched rock. Record is also scary, he has watched his friends fight over the years, he surely knows their weaknesses.

Cale would definitely be in first place for the toughest opponent of them all.

Cale Character Study

I feel like we know so little about Kim Rok Soo that first impressions are misleading. This will probably contain spoilers if you haven’t read the translations yet.

First, you have to understand that Cale lies to himself. He acts like he’s all stoic and uncaring, but his own friends have noted that his actions don’t match his words and facial expressions.

We see this very early on with On and Hong. He talks about how he doesn’t care, but he not only gives them bread when he first sees them... he brings meat (and more) for them when he next goes to feed the tree.

In a similar fashion, just before they encounter Venion Stan he has a little interaction with Choi Han where he decides he doesn’t like Choi Han’s blank expression, and says something to change it.

Choi Han, and others, also note that they follow Cale in part because his actions bely his words. Cale’s plans always try to preserve life and protect the average citizen. He also takes care of his people, even picking up clothing for the Tigers when they were shopping in Vegas.

But that was before we even learned that much about his life as Kim Rok Soo. Now that we know that he came from a post-apocalyptic Korea, that he had been fighting monsters practically his entire life, that he lost the people he was closest to... and went on to lead a team for years...

Rereading the beginning just hits different.

I don’t know if he was ever serious about his slacker life. Choi Jung Soo indicated his farming dream was just the sort of thing one said because they never knew when they were going to die. He knew the chances of it really happening were slim.

Did Kim Rok Soo feel the same about being a slacker? Maybe. He definitely wasn’t acting like a slacker.

He transmigrated into a novel, and although he knew the continent was going to descend into war... a human war probably didn’t feel as bad as the disasters he already had lived through. What did he care about any of the nations? If he could avoid the fighting, he could live more peacefully than he did in a world overflowing with monsters.

This all changed over the course of the novel of course. (I think there were a couple of key moments in this, even aside from his little found family. There was when Ron lost his arm, and he realized he considered himself responsible for his poeple. And then there was when he learned that the upcoming war was actually part of the plot of the secret organization. That the Northern Alliance, Arm, and the Empire were all working together.)

I absolutely love Kim Rok Soo, because the story doesn’t just work because he was given the cheat codes in that ‘guidebook’ Birth of a Hero. Nor is it just because of all the Ancient Powers he’s collected, or the abilities he brought with him. Quite a lot of it rests on Kim Rok Soo himself. On the experience he had, on his ability to analyze information and act on it. He recognized the possibility of creating a naval base. He knew how to work with and around the power structure as it existed (and bolstered the Crown Prince from the beginning). He knew how to use the skills of the people around him to create the conditions for success. He knew how to collect information, even from captured enemies, and he knew how to piece together the bits that he got.

He also had lived long enough to work through quite a few of his own issues. He realized that the death of his team was tragic... but just one of those things that happens sometimes.

But I digress. At the beginning of the story, we have Kim Rok Soo... a talented team leader who had lost everyone he ever cared about. Who had spent well over a decade fighting monsters and living on the edge.

Transported into a new world, with nobody he had any real ties to... and of course he was focused on saving up some money and finally achieving his dream.

And then, even if he doesn’t admit it to himself, that changed.
