Lycaon keep teaching the 'Way of the Wind' to Kim Dokja.
But it wasn’t that simple and Kim Dokja had wasted two days already.
“How can I do this?” Kim Dokja grumbled.
“Huh? You just said it… there is no representation more accurate than that.” Lycaon said with a confused expression.
“No, it was a metaphor.” Kim Dokja answered.
“Your words weren’t a metaphor.” Lycaon said with serious eyes.
It was enough to make Kim Dokja go crazy.
Kim Dokja really frustrated from hearing Lycaon’s words.
This time the problem wasn’t solved by the writer’s description in Ways of Survival.
It was because the explanation was just complete noise to Kim Dokja and the Fourth Wall was also useless at this moment. Fourth Wall gave him judgment and calmness but it didn’t give him talent.
Kim Dokja felt a little feverish as he spoke to Lycaon. “Then you should try this. One wind will meet another wind to form ying and yang. Once again, one wind will meet another wind to form the principles of negative and positive.”
Yin and Yang was a concept from Earth but Lycaon understood it instantly.
“How could you have gained such profound insight?”
Lycaon can’t understand why Kim Dokja still unable to understands the concepts but still unable to do the basic.
“Don’t you also think so, Master?” Lycaon asked Cale with enthusiastic expression.
“I don’t understand what you are talking about.” Cale also frustrated from what Lycaon who turned into something like a character from some adolescent comic books or something similar.
“But you’re able to do it better than me. You also guide my wind to help me to refine my technique...I can’t believe it that you are so humble...Or did you want to hide your brilliant ability! I’m sorry for not noticing it before.” Lycaon spoke with a lot of passion.
“Finally you able to understand Cale-nim greatness! But there’s something that you must remember, that is the fact that Cale-nim is a Real God!”
“Yes! He’s different from those fakes. If you have enough faith and believe in him, you will get his blessings.”
“That’s right! His kindness for forgiving anyone who wants to repents for their sins is also different from those fakes.”
[Some constellations interest in the blessings.]
[Some constellations who rule wind listening to your words carefully.]
[Some constellations who rule wind feel complicated.]
[Some constellations asked about the meaning of faith.]
[Some constellations feel complicated from being called as a fakes.]
[The constellations in the fans circle glaring at the non-believers constellations.]
[Some constellations...]
...
Lycaon listening to the cultists members preaching with some constellations that join them.
Why do no one believes me? Did this world only believe in lie or some bullshit? Cale feels really tired of the reaction of the people in this world.
Cale feel that the people in this world keep inverted his honest words meaning.
- Don’t you think it’s also similar in our world? Didn’t White Star and God of Despair also didn’t believe your words about slacker life? 🪨
- I think Prince Adin also didn’t believe what Cale said at that time. 🌪
- Didn’t it was caused by Clopeh? 🛡
- That’s because he’s crazy. 🔥
- He was a crazy bastard after all. 💧
- But at least the people around you still believe your words. 🐲
“...” Cale become speechless because of the truth.
After the chaotic situation calm down,
“Don’t just speak it, spread it directly through your body.” Lycaon who learned from the representation from Kim Dokja words started to try it and give Kim Dokja an example.
“So it is like this.” Lycaon concentrated and winds from different directions started to form around him.
The two winds swirled, adding a hot and cold energy to the wind.
…To be honest, I thought it was ridiculous. He just heard it and could carry out the technique instantly? Then why couldn’t I do the same? My pride was provoked. Kim Dokja feels unfair.
After Lycaon finished his skill, he turned his head to Cale.
“Master, how do you think about my skills?” He asked with shining eyes that full with expectations.
A more refined winds blow near Cale.
Of course it was the work of the Wind Elementals, but since no one could see or know about them, they keep praising Cale.
Cale could only become the mediator of the Wind Elementals and Lycaon because of their pressure.
Looking at this Kim Dokja feels more unfair.
“Then how about this? ‘Four winds meet and form a defense. Then another four winds are added, making it the Eight Trigrams. Therefore, wind is everywhere yet exists nowhere.’ Can you do this as well?” Kim Dokja said as his pride was provoked.
This sentence was the enlightenment that Yoo Jonghyuk gained in the 9th round of regression.
This time Lycaon made a puzzled expression.
Kim Dokja spoke in a triumphant voice. “You can’t? This is how I am feeling.”
“Pushov… no, Protector. I really appreciate it.” Lycaon said with grateful eyes.
…What? Kim Dokja surprised by Lycaon reaction.
[The 5th grade other world species ‘Prince Lycaon of the Imyuntar’ has received great enlightenment.]
The teaching from Cale and the enlightenment that he got from Kim Dokja really helps his growth.
Lycaon suddenly turned and started practicing.
[You have a great impact on the evolution of Prince Lycaon of the Imyuntar.]
[Lycaon of the Imyuntar feels a great appreciation towards you.]
[Some constellations from the ruined world ‘Chronos’ thanks you.]
[2,000 coins have been sponsored.]
Kim Dokja finally figured out what was going on. That damn wolf gained enlightenment by hearing what I said.
Han Sooyoung was laughing so hard that she was holding her belly.
But the most shocking is for Cale who standing still with more refined wind than Lycaon that similar to throwing salts to his wounds.
“Cale-nim, you seems to understand what those words mean. Can I ask you for explain it for me?” Kim Dokja who decided to throw away his pride and ask Cale for explain it to him said.
But the reply he got was,
“Isn’t it just a poems? Besides I didn’t do anything. Do you want me to ask them to help you too?” Cale answered with annoyed expression.
“Them?!” Kim Dokja surprised by Cale answered.
“The Wind (Elementals).” Cale gesture and the wind blowing around him.
• We don’t like him.
• Chaos, Destruction, Dislike! His existence become more and more disturbing.
• He make us don’t want to get near him after he clears that scenarios.
• We don’t want to help him.
What the Wind Elementals said are similar to what Cale had checked before with the Annual Rings of Life.
From what Jour Thames explanations, Kim Dokja annual ring has changed to be more blurry than before. It’s like being hidden by something. Cale thought that it might be related to the Wind Elementals feeling.
Then suddenly Cale frowned and looks troubled because of the Wind Elementals protests and he could only said. “I’m sorry Kim Dokja-ssi, the Wind (Elementals) seems to dislike you for some reason so they don’t want to help you.”
That words make Kim Dokja cough blood from frustration and anger.
Kim Dokja felt belated frustration. Maybe I knew Ways of Survival but I didn’t know anything about myself. But what do you mean by ‘the wind dislike me’? Why don’t you just said that you don’t want to teach me?
[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ admires your patience.]
[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ is disappointed in your weakness.]
[Some constellations pitying you.]
[The constellations in the fans circle suggest to join the believers to receive the God Blessing.]
[Some constellations...]
...
Looking at the system messages appearing in the air, Kim Dokja thought about signing a contract with a sponsor.
Of course, it was impossible due to his contract with Bihyung.
[So why did you break the throne? Fool.]
Kim Dokja looked up and saw a transparent figure floating in the air.
“That’s...!”
“Damn dokkaebi finally you have come!”
The cultists try to attack Bihyung.
“Wait! It’s different from that bastard.” One of them shouted.
“But that dokkaebi might know something about that bastard where about.”
They trying to caught Bihyung with vicious looks.
[Wait, I just wanted to buy some videos copy for the fans meeting.]
Bihyung quick wit able to save him.
Of course it’s also caused by his experience when watching how scary the fans (followers/cultists) are.
That’s also why he try to make a deal with Clopeh.
“Oh!!! So you are also believers like use!”
“Welcome, what kind of information that you want?”
“Can you tell us about the fans meeting?”
“Can we also buy the other Godly Idols videos?”
[Some constellations interest with the videos.]
[Some constellations want to buy the videos.]
[Some constellations asked about the fans meeting.]
[Some constellations...]
...
The cultists change their expressions like turned something 180 degree and warmly welcome Bihyung with smiles and do some business with him.
After able to calm them, Kim Dokja opened the dokkaebi communication.
‘Is it okay to talk now? What about the intermediate dokkaebi?’
[He won’t come for a while. He is being properly disciplined. He won’t come before the fifth scenario opens if he still alive. Ah, my channel also upgraded again. Hopefully I can reach the intermediate level next month. It is all thanks to you. If not for you acting like that to that God like group, I wouldn’t be able to understand their greatness.]
‘...That’s good.’ Kim Dokja feel more complicated after listening to Bihyung’s words.
[Why don’t you look happy? It is also good for you if I do well.]
‘You will be busy when you reach intermediate level.’
Bihyung laughed at my words.
[Brat, don’t worry. I don’t know about other incarnations but won’t I look after you? These days there are many intermediate dokkaebi at the Bureau but…it is noisy because some bastards are twisting their probabilities extensively or the constellations keep sending protests and some petitions to the Bureau...]
I didn’t need him to tell me who it was. Kim Dokja thought.
[Oh, of course it isn’t you.]
It was completely Yoo Jonghyuk and Cale group.
In fact, Yoo Jonghyuk’s growth rate was impossible through any possibilities. He was growing at a rate that was close to a cheat.
But Cale group are more problematic because his followers especially the constellations that keep sending protests to the Bureau.
[There is one abnormally fasting growing guy and the Bureau can’t touch him…I think his sponsor is probably a formidable guy...and the constellations also sending the protests and petitions that keep coming to the Bureau...]
Perhaps Yoo Jonghyuk’s ‘possibilities’ wouldn’t be a problem in the future because of Cale group and his cultists followers.
In the end, the ‘possibility’ wasn’t a problem if there was a constellation capable of that ‘possibility.’ And it was possible for Yoo Jonghyuk’s sponsor.
And for Cale group and his followers are now consisting with incarnations, constellations and now they even recruit some dokkaebis.
Kim Dokja feels chills at his back as he thought about the growth of Cale group influences in this world.
[By the way, why don’t you buy a growth package? I’ll sell it for a cheap price if you buy it now. Aren’t you suffering right now because you can’t learn that skill? This package…]
‘I won’t buy it. In any case, isn’t the growth package only applicable to skills already learnt? Did you show up just to eat money?’
The growth package had a penalty when abused. It was why even the powerful Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t use the growth package. Kim Dokja thought.
[Sheesh, you knew…?]
Bihyung muttered with a dissatisfied expression.
‘But it is time to buy something.’
[Coins Possessed: 62,372 C]
Kim Dokja still had a lot of coins despite raising his stats due to selling the fire dragon parts.
If Kim Dokja had 40,000 more coins, he would’ve bought Sky Dragon Steps but he couldn’t this time.
Bihyung’s face became rosy.
[Oh, really? What do you want to buy?]
‘Aren’t you going to receive new coin items soon?’
[…How do you know? Did you plant a mole? Or did you also get his blessings?]
‘It is natural since a new scenario will open soon. At that time, tell me. I’ll buy it. And just for your information, I didn’t join them.’
[Hoh, you will… Eh?! Why don’t you join them? Don’t you will be able to get a lot of benefits from them?]
Bihyung confused by Kim Dokja didn’t follow them when he could get a lot of benefits from them.
That’s also why Bihyung join them after listening to Clopeh words.
Kim Dokja turned off the dokkaebi communication. He didn’t want to talk to Bihyung when there was nothing to say.
Kim Dokja looked back and Lycaon was still gaining enlightenment.
Han Sooyoung approached Kim Dokja and raised her chin.
“Hey, what are you going to do now?”
“…I don’t know. I’m still thinking.” Kim Dokja really don’t know what to do.
“Then let me learn it.” Han Sooyoung suggested.
“What?” Kim Dokja surprised by her words.
“Or let the other survivors learn it. Maybe they will be able to do that because of their faith.” Han Sooyoung give another suggestion while looking at the cultists around Bihyung.
Kim Dokja looked at the people around him.
It was two days after the coin farms collapsed. The rescued survivors were working together and caring for the other wounded.
“Or maybe you can let the children learn it. They are still young and able to learn things quicker, right?” Han Sooyoung continued while looking at the children.
The two children keep following Cale because he keep giving them sweets and foods.
His followers are praising him and some of them feel jealous of how Cale treats the children.
The children, Hong Ye-Seung and Hong Yerim keep following Cale closely.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear something like.
“I also want to be adopted by Cale-nim.”
“Cookies made by Alberu-nim...! I want it for my heirloom.”
“Cale-nim is the best Dad!”
“Why can’t I turned myself to be a child?”
The cultists craziness can be heard almost everywhere.
The atmosphere at the werewolves base was quite different from the survivors of Deputy Yoon’s coin farm.
Perhaps Han Sooyoung’s hypocrisy-filled good deeds and Cale’s order to his followers had changed them.
Although Cale didn’t help them for free but he tell them to do something for him like cooking, hunting and some other things.
It’s different from what Han Sooyoung did, but Han Sooyoung still get the survivors respects.
It turned out that hypocrisy was a good thing. Kim Dokja thought while looking at Han Sooyoung.
Han Sooyoung opened her mouth again. “Isn’t it just learning Way of the Wind? Does it matter who learns it?”
“…Right, anyone can learn it.” Kim Dokja answered.
“Why do you insist on being the one to learn it? Are you trying to get the attention of the constellations alone?” Han Sooyoung asked with a sharp gaze.
It wasn’t wrong, but it wasn’t exactly right. Kim Dokja didn’t know how to describe it.
After thinking about his answer, Kim Dokja opened his mouth. “Only people with the protection medallion can learn Way of the Wind.”
“Then give it to me.” Han Sooyoung quickly said.
“It isn’t transferable.” Kim Dokja answered.
[The character Han Sooyoung has confirmed that the statement is true.]
This woman really… Kim Dokja was speechless with Han Sooyoung.
“You are the first person who is more suspicious than Yoo Jonghyuk.” Kim Dokja said with a sarcastic tone.
“You brought it up. This skill, Yoo Jonghyuk should’ve originally learnt it?” Han Sooyoung answered with grin.
“That’s right.” Kim Dokja nodded.
“Then why do you have to go through this trouble? You can leave it to Yoo Jonghyuk. It isn’t too late now so let’s go find Yoo Jonghyuk. He is growing well. That guy would manage it somehow.” Han Sooyoung said.
“Yoo Jonghyuk doesn’t listen to what other people will say.” Kim Dokja answered with the truth.
“I’ll tempt him.” Han Sooyoung said.
Kim Dokja stared at Han Sooyoung before looking away. “Yoo Jonghyuk doesn’t like the body of a child.”
“Then how about asking for Cale Henituse cooperation? Didn’t he seems to listen to him in the Ways of Survival?” Han Sooyoung suggested there’s an anger in her tone.
“Do you think it’s possible to do something like that without being kill by those crazy cultists?” Kim Dokja answered while looking at the cultists that surrounding Cale.
The numbers are increasing because of the survivors that falling into their influence and preaching.
The survivors that looks like a living corpses has turned into a mad dog like character in the spans of the two days.
There also more constellations and dokkaebis at the former werewolves base that seems to be turned into some cult holy place.
“Then what are you going to do?” Han Sooyoung asked.
“...” Kim Dokja didn’t answered.
“Are you ignoring me now?” Han Sooyoung feel annoyed.
“Besides, there is also a problem in finding Yoo Jonghyuk.” Kim Dokja sighed and said.
“Do you need to find Yoo Jonghyuk whereabouts?”
Cale who want to ask about the weird group that chasing Choi Han and Yoo Jonghyuk was walking to their direction.
“You know his whereabouts?” Han Sooyoung surprised.
“Yes, because he’s with Choi Han right now.” Cale answered.
“Then where they are now?” Kim Dokja asked.
“We just need to wait here.” Cale answered.
“...” Both Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung are speechless.
They’re thinking hard about finding Yoo Jonghyuk but Cale makes it easier and they just need to wait for them.
I really wanted to ask the writer for making such Omniscient character. How can he seems to know everything? I feel that I am trapped in his palm. Kim Dokja feels really unfair.
But because he heard what Cale said, he decided to think about what he needs to prepare for the next scenario.
Even Yoo Jonghyuk couldn’t learn Way of the Wind without the protection medallion. Kim Dokja thought about the information in Ways of Survival.
It meant the medallion needed to be taken from Kim Dokja, but ownership wouldn’t be released until Kim Dokja died.
“In other words, Yoo Jonghyuk must kill me. Besides, even if he had the medallion…” Kim Dokja explained.
But after explaining, the most troublesome thing is...
“You know that I beat him up pretty badly in the end. Once we meet, he will definitely try to kill me.” Kim Dokja said.
