— Ji Hui's arrival.

    It was an instant—Ji Hui had no time to dogded nor did he have time to utilize his authority's or skills at all.

Even pancake didn't seem to have enough time to make a choice.

Nor did Ji Hui register.

BOOM!

Kim Dokja couldn't see what had happened.

A giant cloud of dust blocked his vision and he could only hope that Ji Hui was okay, and pancake as well.

Still he couldn't help but shout.

"Hui!"

The others hadn't noticed Ji Hui or were to busy dealing with their own things.

Ji Hui couldn't see what had happened all he felt was pancake shift beneath him as if hoping minimize the damage but the expected pain didn't come.

It was weird but he wasn't complaining.

No one wanted to be punched.

Ji Hui glanced at Yoo Jonghyuk who managed to shift his fist toward the wall beside him.

He seemed to be struggling but Ji Hui didn't understand why.

He had just gotten here.

So he had no clue Yoo Jonghyuk was under mind control.

"Hyung?" Ji Hui called out one more time to the strange acting Yoo Jonghyuk.

In response Yoo Jonghyuk mind managed to clear for a moment allowing him to let out a brief response.

"Hui..."

[ The 'Theater Master Simulacrum' has tightened their control over character 'Yoo Jonghyuk'. ]

But well this happened in response.

Lee Jihye was just as confused in this siuation because she was sure her Master would never attack Ji Hui.

It was the one thing he'd never do.

But thankfully Kim Dokan didn't waste time in explaining what was happening.

"Yoo Jonghyuk is under mind control!" Even though he was battered he still shouted. "Go after the dungeon boss!"

The Dungeon boss let out a smug smirk as he used his finger to push up his hat.

Lee Jihye didn't miss a beat as she lunged at him. "So you're the one who..!"

Lee Jihye didn't reach him because Yoo Jonghyuk had caught up with her before she could. He kicked her to the ground but Lee heewon also lunged at him.

Soon everyone was in a clash of them against Yoo Jonghyuk—and still couldn't go against him that well.

Everyone but Ji Hui.

No one noticed Ji Hui who made his way toward the theater master Simulacrum.

Not even the theater master himself.

It was as if he was wrapped in an invisible fog.

Meanwhile Kim Dokja was clashing with Yoo Jonghyuk and manged to injure him But Yoo Jonghyuk had already healed.

So he called out to Lee Gilyoung—who had blood running from his nose similar to the time he almost summoned the Titanoptera.

"Gilyoung-Ah!"  It was the cue word.

"Ah–Ah!" Gilyoung could only let out groans as the blood spilled from his nose.

Crash!

The grade six monster Titanoptera—in the shape of a giant grasshopper appeared as he crashed through the barrier.

[ The Grade 6 monster species 'Titanoptera' has appeared! ]

"Hehe...Titano is..." Gikyoung came out from his concerning state with a shaky smile.

The giant grasshopper didn't heasite to go after the theater master—Who used Yoo Jonghyuk to protect himself.

A relived smirk was one his face but it wouldn't be there for long.

"What's with that relived look?" Kim Dokja came from behind him ready to attack him—but before he could someone was faster than him.

The theater master couldn't even use his mind control skill.

[ The Authority 'The fool's blessed had been deactivated. ]

Ji Hui who came out of nowhere was one step closer.

[ The Authority 'Monoarch of Gluttony' has been activated. ]

[ The target 'Theater Master Simulacrum' is being consumed. ]

The theater master could feel his body being consumed by something but he was helpless against it—Not even his control over Yoo Jonghyuk stood a chance.

He was helpless and that caused a child throughout his body.

"Y-You–ah..!" His body soon became a shriveled corpse—a terrified expression on his face.

[ The 'Theater Master Simulacrum' has been defeated for the first time. ]

[ 9,000 coins have been awarded as compensation. ]

"Huh?" Kim Dokja was just left dumbfounded but also refreshed about Ji Hui's brand new abilities—not to mention his suprise at him being here.

He wasn't sure if he was still stuck in the special dungeon.

He didn't get to think about because there was a thump—as well as Lle Gilyoung's soft Hyung and then he saw a collapsed Ji Hui and a collapsing Gilyoung.

What was happening?

Ji Hui is back.
