Unfortunately, our protagonist, the ugly Squid Dokja, missed the chance to cross the bridge right before his eyes and was now fighting the Fiends who had returned to their original state from being balloons.
Meanwhile, the Deus Ex Machina that had appeared—the Even-Numbered Legs.
However, seeing that, Han Myung-Oh picked up the resisting Yoo Sangah and ran off.
Ah! By the way, the reason the Fiends returned is probably because my Haniel is only level 1, so I can only use less than half the power of a Limited Manifestation, and they broke free already.
And by the way, why do I call Kim Dokja an ugly, squishy squid?
Uh... well? I guess because I'm using Haniel, I just felt like calling him that for some reason?
And come to think of it... how should I put it? I feel like playing a prank... hmm...
Anyway, back to the present. Squid Dokja was desperately holding out against the Fiends while shouting at me.
"How long are you going to just watch!! Get down here and help me already!!"
At the cry of Squid Dokj—I mean, Kim Dokja, I replied okay and descended to the ground on Haniel.
"Sorry, sorry. I was watching and missed the timing, right? Well, I'll help you properly from now on."
[Deactivating trait 'Spirit'.]
[Activating trait 'Gosei Wolf'.]
Then, the spiritual dress I was wearing turned into particles and disappeared, returning me to my ordinary clothes from before. At the same time, the Gosei Wolf Ring was created on my left ring finger.
"Engage!!"
[Clap Your Hands!]
Clap! Clap clap! Clap! Clap clap!
[Gosei Wolf!]
I transformed into Gosei Wolf, looked at the sky, and let out a howl.
"Awooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!"
"Ugh!"
[Constellations in the channel cover their ears at your howling.]
Kim Dokja and the Constellations covered their ears at my howl. Not caring either way, I looked at the Fiends and spoke.
"You all... are my prey!"
Saying that, I immediately charged at the Fiends. The Fiends attacked me, but
"Just... that much?!!!"
I easily dodged the Fiends' attacks and instead grabbed them and threw them down below the bridge.
"Now! Let's make this quick!!"
[Wolfdecalibur 50!]
I immediately summoned the Wolfdecalibur 50 and began slashing through the Fiends indiscriminately.
[A small number of Constellations cheer on your struggle.]
[The Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' pulls out his hair watching your fight.]
Just as I was finishing off most of the Fiends on the bridge...
CRACK! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
From far away, a man came running towards us, smashing Fiends as he came.
"How on earth are you guys still alive?"
Yoo Joonghyuk looked back and forth between me and Kim Dokja and asked. Then, one of his eyes turned yellow as he activated his skill, Sage's Eye.
[Exclusive skill 'The Wall of ■■' is activated.]
[Exclusive skill 'The Wall of ■■' blocks the skill 'Sage's Eye'.]
"Keuk.!!!!"
Along with that message, a strong spark shot from Yoo Joonghyuk's eye as Sage's Eye was nullified. Soon, Yoo Joonghyuk looked at me and spoke.
"You will die here."
Saying that, Yoo Joonghyuk immediately drew his sword and swung it at me. I quickly dodged the attack and muttered.
"Tch... so it comes to this after all? Well, fine... Since you've challenged me... you too are... my prey!!"
I immediately re-gripped the Wolfdecalibur and swung it at Yoo Joonghyuk. Yoo Joonghyuk also swung his own sword in response.
[A small number of Constellations watch the scene.]
[You have received 800 coins in sponsorship.]
"Here... I come!!"
I immediately fired slashes to my left and right, creating Warp Gates. I charged at Yoo Joonghyuk, fired another slash to create another Warp Gate behind him, then kicked Yoo Joonghyuk towards the Warp Gate. Soon, Yoo Joonghyuk began rapidly spinning in a triangle through the warps.
"I am... Number One!!"
I immediately held down the Wolfdecalibur 50's trigger and slashed Yoo Joonghyuk.
[Wolfdecalibur Finish!!]
Yoo Joonghyuk, hit by my attack, tumbled all the way to where Kim Dokja was.
[The Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' shows interest in your ability.]
[You have received 500 coins in sponsorship.]
At that moment, Kim Dokja slowly approached Yoo Joonghyuk, perhaps to check if he was still alive, when...
Flash!
Yoo Joonghyuk, opening his eyes, immediately grabbed Kim Dokja by the collar.
"If you don't want to see this guy die, don't you dare move a single step from there...!"
At his actions, I wondered inwardly where this guy left his humanity.
Meanwhile, Kim Dokja, whose collar was grabbed, kicked his legs in the air, but they didn't reach the ground.
In that situation, Kim Dokja shouted at Yoo Joonghyuk.
"Keuk.... Yoo Joonghyuk, let's talk!"
However, Yoo Joonghyuk ignored him, probably thinking Kim Dokja was spouting nonsense to survive, but
"I know a future you don't know!"
Twitch.
At the word 'future', Yoo Joonghyuk wavered slightly. Seeing that, Kim Dokja began his story.
A few minutes passed like that, and the conversation was nearing its end.
"Urgh"
"One last question. If you are truly a 'Prophet', you should be able to see things related to your own future too, right?"
"Keuk"
"Will I let you go or not?"
At those words, Kim Dokja pondered and then, as if having made a decision, spoke.
"Yoo Joonghyuk, let me say two things first."
"What?"
"One, I am not your subordinate, so I want you to treat me fairly from now on. Two, promise me that you will cooperate just as I cooperate with you."
"Fine. And your answer?"
At that, Kim Dokja immediately raised his middle finger and said.
"Let go of this hand and get lost, you damn bastard."
Drop—
At those words, Yoo Joonghyuk released his grip on Kim Dokja's collar. Kim Dokja fell downwards due to gravity, and I waved at him.
"Waaaaaaaaaah!!"
"I believe you. You really are a Prophet."
At those words, the falling Kim Dokja looked at me and Yoo Joonghyuk with an expression as if looking at sons of bitches, and
Chomp!
He was soon swallowed by the Lesser Dragon.
Seeing that, I released my transformation and tried to walk past Yoo Joonghyuk when
"Why didn't you save that guy?"
At Yoo Joonghyuk's sudden question, I answered.
"That guy will definitely come back by his own power. I shouldn't help a guy like that."
At my answer, Yoo Joonghyuk made a face as if he didn't like it, then sighed and crossed the Even-Numbered Legs with me.
[You have succeeded in clearing the scenario.]
[200 coins are paid as the basic clear reward.]
[Coin settlement has begun.]
[100 coins have been deducted as a channel fee.]
