At werewolves base.
After Kim Dokja and the other went to Gangdong-gu.
Cale was looking at the survivors that seems to get much stronger than before.
Even the children are able to get much stronger than the the other survivors.
Although Lycaon was reluctant to teach them before but because of Cale, both of them were able to secretly learn the ‘Ways of the Wind’
At that time...
***
It was after Kim Dokja learned the ‘Ways to the Wind’ for a day.
At that time Kim Dokja was tried really hard but unable to learned it.
Lycaon feel that Kim Dokja didn’t have any talent to learned it.
Lycaon leaves Kim Dokja and decided to asking Cale about the ‘Ways of the Wind’.
“Master, what do you think about the most important for this technique?” Lycaon enthusiastically asked.
“Oppa, why the wind moving like that?” Hong Yerim curiously asked while looking at the wind movement.
“You’re right! It moving like someone is drawing with it. I think we need to ask that Hyung-nim. Even the good wolf seems to be asking that Hyung-nim.” Yerim twin older brother, Hong Ye-Seung nodded and bring his little twin sister to Cale direction.
Both of them seems to be able to see the wind movement.
When they get closer to Cale they became more curious.
“Umm..., Why do the wind moving strangely around you, Oppa?” Hong Yerim asked with curious look.
“Are you some hero with super power that will save everyone from the monsters, Hyung-nim?” Hong Ye-Seung asked with shining eyes that reminded Cale to Dodori and Baek-ah.
“No, I’m someone who is known as a thrash. Choi Han that you met before is the real hero.” Cale said.
“Who dare to said such thing to Master? How dare they slandered you?! Master, let me deal with that person.” Lycaon said with anger.
“Right, how dare they said something like that to Our Cale-nim!!!” The fans angrily said.
“Is there someone who is ungrateful and dare to said such thing?” The survivors also angrily said.
[Some constellations feel angry.]
[Some constellations laughing viciously.]
[Some constellations preparing some weapons.]
[Some constellations gulped at the fans anger.]
[Some constellations got PTSD.]
[Some constellations want to hide.]
[Some constellations...]
...
Lycaon, the fans, the survivors and the constellations are angry.
Some constellations feel terrified at the angry fans.
But...
“Ufufu, how sweet! To said something like that while praising Choi Han-nim like that. Is this what a true love is?”
[Some constellations interest with your words.]
[Some constellations like your words.]
[Some constellations...]
...
There also some fans that are drooling and watching with strange smiles.
“Stop it. You won’t be able to meet them because they are not in Korea (but in another world).” Cale said to stop their anger.
Cale decided to stop them before they became more vicious.
Their anger already scared the children and some survivors.
But...
“I think it was the evil family members in Our Godly Idols hometown. How dare they said something like that to Our Cale-nim!!” One of the fans made a deduction.
“Those bastards need to be ripped into a piece for million times to be able to repents for twenty percent of their sins to Our Cale-nim.” Another fans said.
“No, they need to died painfully for ten million times before they able to repents for ten percent of their sins to Our Cale-nim. They need to do the same thing to repents to Alberu-nim, Choi Han-nim, Mary-nim and Clopeh-nim.” Another fans said with scary face.
“Even if Cale-nim and his family forgive them, I will not forgive them and I will still try my best to torture them.” Another fans proudly said.
“Those bastards dare to said something like that to Our Savior! I will definitely hit them brutally until I feel like they are repenting to their wrong doing.” One of the survivors added.
They continue their cursing and anger for quite long time.
When they started to get angry, Cale decided to take the children away.
Cale had learned that is not good to said such words in front of the children.
Cale didn’t dare to imagine if both of them become like the fans.
• Cale, the Crown Prince and Mary is coming to this direction. Their distance still far away from here but the Crown Prince seems to know your location.
• Chaos, Destruction, Festival! Clopeh is gathering the low level dokkaebis and talked about making a fancafes system with them. He was moving to your direction but suddenly stopped and made another gathering with the dokkaebis.
“...”
Hearing the report about Clopeh, Cale feel headaches.
What is that crazy bastard Clopeh trying to do? Cale rubbed his forehead.
Although Cale has know that Clopeh is a crazy bastard, he never imagined that he would do something like this.
Actually because Cale never care or maybe he just unconsciously ignored Clopeh to protect his mental health.
“Hyung-nim, the wind around you are always blowing strangely? What kind of super power is that?” Hong Ye-Seung excitedly asked.
“It’s moving like ‘Whoosh, Whoosh.’ But it won’t blow up your hair.” Hong Yerim added while moving her hands cutely to described the wind movement.
The children seems to be interested with the movements of the Wind Elementals around Cale.
“Hmm! Both of you seems to be able to learn my technique.” Lycaon who had calmed down said after observing both of them.
“Can you also teach both of them?” Cale asked.
“Sadly I can’t do that because of the rules.” Lycaon said with disappointed expression.
“But I think it would be helpful to you if you teach them.” Cale said.
“What do you mean, Master?!” Lycaon quickly asked for an explanation.
“Do you know that human is able to get more understanding when they teach the other about the knowledge that they have. They usually get more information after they teach the others.” Cale said with serious face.
Actually Cale just trying to persuade Lycaon to teach the children so they will be able to survive in this apocalyptic world.
“Did you mean that I will get more understanding after teaching the other too?” Lycaon seems to realized something from Cale words.
“As expected of Our Cale-nim. Did you said it because you know about how some historical people stories are sometimes learned or got enlightenment or inspiration from children or teaching the others!” One of the fans confidently praised.
“Oh!!! Why did I didn’t realized it...you want me to teach them to help me get enlightenment, Master...! I’m such a fool...” Lycaon fell to his knees, chastising himself all the while.
I don’t know what he is thinking, but I’ll give another push.
Cale thought and opened his mouth. “Don’t worry. Ignorance is not a crime. However, staying ignorant is, you just need to learn from your mistake. Understood?”
Hearing Cale words, Lycaon then wiped his face and rose to his feet.
“Hnngh! I’ll do my best, Master!” Lycaon said energetically with gaze full of respect for Cale.
The fans are watching and some of them are sobbing for some reason.
Lycaon who was touched by Cale kindness(?) and started to teaching the children and some survivors that seems to have some talent.
The constellations reactions are mostly similar to the fans.
[Some constellations praise your wisdom.]
[Some constellations applauded your wise words.]
[Some constellations nodded at your words deep meaning.]
[Some constellations touched by your words.]
[Some constellations surprised by the sudden enlightening words.]
[Some constellations...]
...
I don’t know why it turned out to be like that but I’m glad that he will teach them. It’ll be helpful to both of them to survive in this world. Cale feel really tired from how their reactions and the stress from Clopeh craziness.
At that time, Cale was feeling that he was being alienated as everyone in the werewolves base was looking at him like he was a hero or something similar.
***
Cale looking at Hong Ye-Seung and Hong Yerim training.
Both of them are able to control the wind.
Although they only able to do simple techniques, but it seems like they have more talent than Kim Dokja (from how Lycaon praised them).
Cale remembered how Lycaon keep saying something like ‘You are more talented than the protector.’ Or ‘I wish that the protector could learn a bit from both of you.’ Lycaon seems to intentionally said it loud.
At that time, Kim Dokja stopped his training and went to charge his smartphone while Han Sooyoung giggling.
When Cale thinking about what happened before while looking at Lycaon who have not finished his enlightenment,
“ALBERU-NIM and MARY-NIM is coming!!!” The fans are cheerful shouted.
_________________________________________
「 The greatest good person can turn into the worst killer at any time. 」
This was a sentence that described Guam Divine Doctor in Ways of Survival.
Guam Divine Doctor Heo Jun.
According to the records in Ways of Survival, the task that Heo Jun devoted his last years to wasn’t medicine but poison.
Like many great people who later became constellations, Heo Jun reached a level beyond the actual history records.
「 “If I make a poison that can kill anyone, I can make a pill that can save anyone.” 」
Heo Jun was banished after the death of King Seonjo and devoted his last seven years to this question.
Why was poison a medicine for some people and a poison for others? One day in his last years, he finally reached a mystical answer.
「 “It isn’t the body but the spirit that determines the action of the poison.“ 」
A poison made by analyzing a thousand souls.
The result was the heavenly poison that flowed out of Lee Seolhwa’s body, the Thousand Spirits Poison.
Dongui Bogam was actually written from Heo Jun’s failure to reach Thousand Spirits Poison.
“Kiik, kiiik!”
Kim Dokja moved through the Thousand Spirits Poison and dealt a merciless blow to Lee Seolhwa.
Lee Seolhwa flew through the air.
It wasn’t hard to defeat Lee Seolhwa if her poison was disabled.
It was the Thousand Spirits Poison that solidified her reputation as one of the Ten Evils.
If I hadn’t got the Dongui Bogam, I would’ve become a sacrifice of her reputation…
This time her luck was bad.
[The constellation ‘Guam Divine Doctor’ is looking at you like he is sorry.]
[The constellation ‘ Guam Divine Doctor’ is looking forward to you dealing with this properly.]
[300 coins have been sponsored.]
The ‘Parasite’ infection was irrelevant to Guam Divine Doctor’s intentions.
In other words, Lee Seolhwa’s attack on Kim Dokja wasn’t according to Lee Seolhwa’s will.
By the way, only sponsoring 300 coins…
[The constellation ‘Seo Ae Il Pil’ you dealing with this properly.]
It’s difficult if they didn’t have immunity to being infected.
This fight hadn’t ended yet.
"Kiiiit… human…!"
The mucus that escaped from Lee Seolhwa’s body gathered in a ball at one point in the air.
Parasite Queen Antinus.
She was scary in parasitic mode but even scarier when she didn’t have a host.
The mucus moved like a small bug and formed a shape.
It was a body made of nutrients that had been absorbed for many years.
It was a body with beautiful curves and solid muscles.
She had dragonfly-like wings and a tail that resembled a scorpion.
She was covered in an insect’s shell apart from the face, but she looked more like a bipedal creature than an insect.
The real battle started now.
“Get away before you are infected!”
The sharp tail aimed for Kim Dokja stomach.
[The effect of the Dongui Bogam – Incomplete has been activated.]
[Your body is immune from a parasitic infection.]
It was so fast that even Kim Dokja couldn’t avoid it despite having over 50 agility.
Kim Dokja narrowly caught the tail before it pierced him.
But if it hit, I would’ve definitely got a hole in my stomach.
She used the fact that Kim Dokja was holding her tail to fly towards him and hit him.
Kim Dokja was knocked onto the ground and a strong pain filled his body.
Strong. Kim Dokja thought.
She became even stronger when she wasn’t in a host.
The power of her main body was comparable to a 5th grade insect king species.
Once Antinus unleashed her fighting power, it was equivalent to the degraded fire dragon Kim Dokja once killed.
It might be destroyed but she was still the hero of her world.
She was as strong as Lycaon who emerged from the yellow meteorite.
This didn’t mean Kim Dokja had no chance.
It was a clear violation of the scenario rules for the ‘guide’ to cause such an uproar before the fifth scenario ended.
It wasn’t just killing a few people.
She even tried to hatch a disaster, which meant she had given up on her probability.
The sign of a probability storm was already descending on Antinus’ body.
As time passed, the collapse of her body would accelerate, even if Kim Dokja didn’t attack.
It was a fight I could win if I just bought time.
The problem was how much time Kim Dokja could buy before dying.
At this moment, the Protection Symbol of the Imyuntar started shaking.
Ah, that’s right. There was this.
Kim Dokja held his aching body and said to her, “I’m sorry but I’m not your opponent.”
As Kim Dokja spoke, a flash of silver light crossed the sky, causing a sonic boom.
The gorgeous mane scattered in the air as something landed in front of me with a loud roar.
The being was over three metres tall.
Lycaon, Prince of the Imyuntar, stood up.
“Why do you call me here when I was listening to Master great exploits!!...Ahem.”
At first, Lycaon seems angry but when he saw how the other are looking at him, he coughed and changed his behavior.
“Ahem...I’m sorry for the delay, Protector.”
Prince Lycaon of the Imyuntar paid respect to Kim Dokja before immediately turning to look at Antinus.
Kim Dokja couldn’t feel reassured because the other world species were companions.
“Antinus.” Lycaon said.
“Lycaon…” Antinus seems to be surprised by Lycaon arrival.
“What the hell is this?” Lycaon asked with anger in his tone.
The queen of the Parasites just laughed.
“Have you forgotten your mission? Why are you fighting the humans of this world?” Lycaon continued.
“Kikik, mission? Was there something like that?” Antinus replied.
Lycaon’s expression became determined at her teasing tone. “We are the ‘guides.’ We have to tell the people of the other worlds the right way to face the disasters that are coming.”
“You have already been spellbound by the dokkaebis. Wake up Lycaon.” Antinus with mocking tone.
“You are the one who needs to wake up Antinus!” Lycaon’s voice was furious.
“Have you forgotten the sacrifice of the Chronos warriors? Have you already forgotten the moment when the five ruling species was destroyed? We are here to stop the disasters. Work with the species here to defend the terraformed planet and ‘rebuild Chronos’ civilization in this world! It is our sacred mission!” Lycaon continued.
‘Rebuilding Chronos’ civilization.
Antinus no longer laughed. “Lycaon, it is impossible. This planet will perish. It is the fate of the scenario.”
“No, this time will be different.” Lycaon glanced at Kim Dokja. “The Protector has stopped a disaster before all the disasters woke up. He has the medallion of my people as proof. Perhaps there is a way to prevent the destruction. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them to show you the proof (videos).”
“If it was a deteriorated disaster, we could’ve stopped it at any time.” Antinus refuted.
“Earth is now only in the fifth scenario! There is no planet that has stopped a disaster before the fifth scenario began. Think about it Antinus! There is still hope for this planet!” Lycaon tried to persuaded her.
Antinus’ compound eyes slowly blinked.
The cry of an insect was boiling inside her.
Her cry was full of anger.
“Don’t be so arrogant. You came here to stop the disaster? If you really wanted to help them, why didn’t you start when the disaster’s destination was set to ‘Earth?’” Antinus asked.
“That…” Lycaon unable to answer her questions.
Han Sooyoung quietly approached Kim Dokja while listening to their story. “These guys, what are they saying now?”
Han Sooyoung didn’t know the details of this scenario.
The guides didn’t have such an in-depth conversation in the original third and fourth regression.
Now they were talking about something vague.
Antinus continued speaking. “Lycaon! You are like me. We came to this planet for revenge! We will return the same disaster to those who brought us the disaster!”
“If you do that, you will die. The probability of the Star Stream won’t forgive the ‘guide’ for going against it. Besides there’s also person like Master here.” Lycaon said after remembered about how Cale helped him.
Antinus laughed. “Lycaon, I died with my kind on Chronos. The same for your kind. That Master that you are saying will also be the same.”
“…It doesn’t make sense. You don’t even know how great my Master is.” Lycaon exposed his fangs. “Antinus. The conversation ends here. I'll never forgive you for talking bad about about about my Master.”
“Kikikik! Lycaon! Poor wolf of the Imyuntar! Have you forgotten the history of Chronos? The wolf has never once won against the insects!” Antinus laughed.
The battle between the prince of the wolves and queen of the parasites began.
[Some constellations said to teach that bitch insects ‘Cale-nim’ greatness.]
[Some constellations angry at ‘Antinus’ words.]
[Some constellations cursing ‘Antinus’.]
[Some constellations...]
...
The constellations are angry at Antinus.
“Huh???” Antinus surprised by the constellations reactions.
“Grrrrr!” Lycaon roared angrily.
The flow of ambient air was different.
Some winds were fast while some winds were slow.
Sometimes there was no wind and sometimes it was strong wind.
“I’m not the Imyuntar you knew! Master had helped me with his wonderful teaching.” Lycaon bellowed.
“???” Kim Dokja feel a bit confused by what Lycaon said. What?...What did Cale Henituse teach him to make him act like that?!
The winds in the surrounding area started to press on Antinus.
Lycaon was finally showing his Way of the Wind that had evolved one step.
“Kiiit… interesting! I’ll check to see how your ‘way’ has grown!”
Antinus was the first one to move.
The air barrier created by Way of the Wind and Antinus’ tail hit each other.
Sparks filled the air and the sound of leather tearing was heard.
Han Sooyoung and Kim Dokja looked up at the sky, spellbound for a moment.
This was the fight between fifth grade species.
It was the confrontation of those who showed a superior physical superiority to humans.
Antinus quickly made her way through the gaps in the atmosphere and arrived in front of Lycaon.
Antinus’ tail underwent an external transformation into a wedge and rushed to Lycaon.
It was only one attack but it could mean the different between defeat and victory.
But at this moment, Antinus’ movements slowed down.
It was like a repulsion force was pushing at her tail.
On the other hand, Lycaon’s movements were slightly faster.
His attacks suddenly accelerated. Antinus’ tail struck empty air.
[The 5th grade species Parasite Antinus has activated Accelerating Wings Lv. 8.]
Antinus’ wings spread open and vibrated before she disappeared.
The S-grade movement skill, Accelerating Wings.
Her wings flapped thousands of times per second and she instantly appeared in front of Lycaon, as if she had teleported.
Antinus’ arms turned to scythes and flew towards Lycaon’s back.
[The 5th grade species Parasite Antinus has activated Praying Mantis Breakthrough Lv. 8.]
The accelerated scythes struck the atmosphere wall, causing a terrible burst of noise.
It was so fast that it seemed like even Lycaon couldn’t avoid it.
Even so, Lycaon evaded.
At the decisive moment, Antinus’ attack slowed down while Lycaon’s movements accelerated.
It was the difference between life and death.
Antinus’ compound eyes blinked with surprise.
Yoo Sangah asked with surprise, “What type of technique is that. Instant Acceleration?”
“No, that is the Way of the Wind.” Kim Dokja answered.
The secret technique of the Imyuntar, Way of the Wind.
At first glance, the two of them seemed to change speed but this was actually Lycaon’s ability.
The surrounding atmosphere flowed according to Lycaon’s will.
<to be continue>
Author’s note: Just get some ideas so I can finished it early. Or it might also because of the second fans meeting that Clopeh did.
There's some good stuff before the scenario started, like:
Or

Thank you very much for reading, votes and comments. I hope you enjoy the story and have a nice day. GBU.
