Episode 6 – Judgment Time (4)

A few minutes later, they once again entered Dongdae Station and ate a ground rat each. It was in order to heal the skin contaminated by the poisonous fog.

It took a little time but the contamination could be recovered by eating the meat of an underground species.

Bihyung: [...Hey! Are you crazy? What did you do just now?]

They was eating when Bihyung's voice was heard now furiously berating them.

Dokja: 'Shut up.'

Bihyung: [No, this isn't an issue you can dismiss. You destroyed a constellation's idol! Do you want to see my channel fail? Once the 'Bald General of Justice' begins to talk...]

The idol of a constellation. Every world had their own constellations, South Korea as well.

By the way, Bihyung said it was the 'Bald General of Justice.' He was a great person in South Korea but...

Actually, they both wasn't the type of person to say that.

[A constellation wearing a straw mat is furious at your atrocious actions.]

[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is laughing.]

There was a difference in the degree of all idols, but they had the power of a constellation sealed in them.

If one of them released the seal of the idol in the right way, that one could gain a certain amount of power, such as an item or skill that the constellation used in their lifetime.

However, 'unlocking the seal' took a long time and Dokja wasn't sure if he could get the skill he wanted. Y/N didn't want anything from it. His weapons were good enough for it. Playful Cloud was with Kiara at the moment. Soon he would give it to Kiara when she grew up enough to handle it.

Dokja looked at Ways of Survival on his smartphone.

「 "But if it is sealed in the bronze statue of Samyeongdang, how did you get the skill?"

"There is a saying that if you meet Buddha, kill Buddha."

"What? Don't tell me..."

"Haha, I was just trying it out... but it is true. All the statues aren't just for worship."

"Hey! This jerk, you should watch your mouth. You might be cursed by the constellation." 」

At the last gateway to enter Chungmuro, the 'skill' of Samyeongdang was essential.

And the most surefire way to get the skill was to destroy the idol. Of course, Dokja could buy something similar from the Dokkaebi Bag but... the more coins he saved, the better.

Heewon: "Then did you both resolve the 'man's secret' well?"

Dokja quickly turned off my smartphone screen. Their companions, including Jung Heewon, had gathered.

Dokja: "Yes. And I have something for you."

He and Y/N pulled out the items they gained from the idol. As luck would have it, the Samyeongdang idol contained items and skills.

[Samyeongdang's Beads]

[Samyeongdang's Straw Mat]

Rags and old beads. There were questions in the eyes of everyone present. They knew what they were thinking.

But they also knew this. In this world, 'old' was more likely to be 'good.'

Dokja: "They seem like good items. Because they are souvenirs of a great person."
