Reunion and Battle Once Again (1)
The decision was made,
and Arthur, Kim Dokja, and the others moved forward.
The group advanced cautiously, exchanging quiet conversation as they went.
A little behind them, Arthur walked beside Yi Shun, who seed calr than usual, holding a polished black dagger.
That dagger…
was crafted by Arthur.
It was made from the bones of an Ichthyosaur—
bones far stronger than those of most other monsters.
For that reason, Arthur had forged two daggers at the ti:
one for himself,
and the other for Yi Shun.
Arthur had realized early on that Yi Shun's primary ability was healing.
A powerful healing ability, indeed,
but his stats were extrely weak.
After all, he was still just a child,
and he had barely spent any of his coins.
So,
Arthur began teaching him how to use his coins properly.
Yi Shun listened attentively,
then carried out everything Arthur told him without hesitation.
Arthur smiled as he noticed—
Yi Shun's strength was gradually increasing.
At that mont,
the one with the most coins in the group was Kim Dokja:
23,050 coins.
Followed by Arthur with
9,200 coins.
Arthur hadn't spent his coins yet.
From Kim Dokja, he had learned about sothing called the Dokkaebi Bag.
The Dokkaebi Bag…
was very similar to the Heavenly Store.
When Arthur opened it,
he found an enormous number of items available—
but what truly caught his attention
was extrely expensive.
There were things he wanted…
but not now.
In addition,
Arthur didn't need to raise his physical stats at the mont.
So he decided to keep his coins.

Category: Main

{Next Main Base:
Chungmuro Station}
Kim Dokja said as he looked ahead:
"Chungmuro Station is three stops away from here…
we need to move imdiately."
And everyone moved.
---
After quite so ti,
everyone collapsed from exhaustion.
Crossing two stations wasn't truly "crossing"—
it was fighting to the death.
Throughout the two stations,
everyone fought without rest,
against swarms of rat monsters.
A harsh battle,
continuous,
offering no chance to breathe.
Arthur and Kim Dokja noticed sothing troubling during their advance.
Human corpses.
But…
they weren't torn apart by rat teeth.
The cause of death was clear—
sharp sword strikes,
harsh,
and professional.
Yoo Sangah whispered very softly into Jung Heewon's ear.
The two exchanged a quick glance,
then went together to the restroom.
Minutes later, Yoo Sangah ca out…
but she didn't find Kim Dokja or Arthur.
"Where did Kim Dokja and Arthur go?"
Lee Hyunsung replied:
"They went up above.
Kim Dokja said he wanted so ti to pray… or sothing like that."
"And Arthur?"
Lee Hyunsung shook his head.
"I don't know.
He just went with him."
Jung Heewon sighed,
then said hesitantly:
"Guys…
what do you think about Arthur?"
They looked at her in confusion.
"What do you an?"
She spoke carefully:
"I an… Arthur is a good person, that's clear.
But every ti I look at him…
I feel fear and unease.
I don't know why, but…"
Lee Hyunsung smiled calmly:
"Whether it's Kim Dokja or Arthur,
they're both people I've placed my trust in.
Despite everything…
Arthur is strong,
and trustworthy to ."
Jung Heewon slowly shook her head.
"I know he's trustworthy…
but there's sothing about him that bothers ."
At that mont,
Yi Shun stepped forward.
He stood beside Lee Hyunsung,
and no one had noticed him at first.
He spoke gently…
but with unusual firmness:
"Brother Arthur saved when I wanted to die in the subway.
And he saved again on the bridge.
And big brother Kim Dokja waited four whole days…
and fought Yoo Joonghyuk just for him.
Brother Arthur…
is a good person."
{The constellation Miraculous Narrator smiles at you}
{The constellation Demon-Like Judge of Fire says his words are correct}
{You have been sponsored 200 coins}
Windows appeared before Yi Shun.
At that mont, Yoo Sangah spoke in genuine surprise:
"He fought Yoo Joonghyuk?
When did that happen?"
Yi Shun replied calmly:
"When everyone left,
big brother Arthur and big brother Kim Dokja stayed alone on the bridge.
Big brother Arthur fought the giant monster that ca out of the water,
and then he saw Yoo Joonghyuk throw big brother Kim Dokja
into the mouth of another monster.
So…
big brother Arthur attacked Yoo Joonghyuk.
He fought him to save big brother Kim Dokja,
but he was seriously injured and nearly died.
Even so…
he waited for him for days.
Then the two returned together."
Everyone was shocked.
This small child…
knew details they had never imagined.
Now they understood—
after his battle with the Ichthyosaur leader,
Arthur had directly faced Yoo Joonghyuk,
and then waited for Kim Dokja until the very end.
Jung Heewon looked at Yi Shun:
"How do you know all this?"
He didn't answer.
He simply polished his dagger quietly—
just like Arthur always did.
---
Outside,
Arthur and Kim Dokja moved side by side,
cutting through the poisoned air at high speed.
Until they reached
the statue of Yujeong Samyeongdang.
The two stood there.
Kim Dokja clasped his hands,
then prayed before the statue.
{A constellation wearing a straw mat is pleased with your actions}
{You have been sponsored 100 coins}
At that mont,
Arthur smiled.
He leapt over Kim Dokja,
reached the statue's head,
and with a single swing—
split the statue in half.
{A constellation wearing a straw mat is horrified by your actions}
Both of them smiled.
They gathered the rewards,
then returned to the group.
Kim Dokja handed
a straw mat to Jung Heewon,
and a bead bracelet to Yoo Sangah.
These items—
were good ans of protection,
and would be very useful for what was to co.
"So you're telling this straw mat belongs to a great figure?"
Jung Heewon sighed as she spoke to Kim Dokja, her voice filled with astonishnt and emotion.
Kim Dokja smiled calmly, then looked around and said:
"Does anyone here know about Samyeongdang?"
Yoo Sangah stepped forward, moved by the situation, and explained about the great general:
Samyeongdang was a brilliant general who took part in the war between Korea and Japan and played a decisive role in liberating his country from the Japanese siege, as well as participating in other wars defending his holand.
Kim Dokja smiled calmly, clasped his hands in a gesture of prayer, and said:
"I brought my hands together and prayed for protection and safety from the great general, and afterward I granted him these precious offerings."
{Various constellations expressed admiration for the elegance of this act}
He added:
"We believed in the great general's power, because he defended his country and saved his people before.
And now we see him answering our prayers… he has not disappointed us."
Arthur smiled deeply and stopped Kim Dokja's nonsense in a calm and effective way,
but his trembling, emotional voice as he spoke affected everyone deeply—
even the constellations—
{A constellation wearing a straw mat is moved by your words}
{A constellation wearing a straw mat forgives your sins}
{You have been sponsored 100 coins}
Everyone believed Kim Dokja and Arthur's nonsense, and they continued moving forward.
But after only a few seconds—
{A new sub-scenario has been created
Sub-Scenario: Welco Prison
Category: Sub
Difficulty: F.D
Clear Conditions: Escape the Welco Prison within the ti limit
Ti Limit: 1 hour
Reward: 300 coins
Failure: ???}
Suddenly, a powerful dark force swept over everyone,
enveloping their minds and drowning them in their worst mories.
Kim Dokja and Yoo Sangah were unaffected,
thanks to the bead bracelet Yoo Sangah had received from Kim Dokja.
Lee Hyunsung trembled, shouting as if he were back in the army,
while Jung Heewon gripped her sword, screaming:
"Stay away from ! Don't co near !"
Lee Gilyoung clutched his head and cried out for his mother in pain,
while Yi Shun began crying, resting his head between his knees.
As for Arthur…
He stood still, unmoving, trapped within the prison of his mind.
He was fighting Cthulhu in an incomprehensible way, and with every blow he received, he watched his world shatter and rebuild again… over and over.
{The constellation Demon-Like Judge of Fire is saddened by your past}
{The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband is excited by your mories}
In Arthur's mind, Cthulhu was not just a massive monster, but a horrifying fusion between his father and Cthulhu—
sothing grotesque and deeply disturbing.
Kim Dokja tried to break this reality using the Fourth Wall,
and after a few seconds, he managed to shatter the space…
But then, ghostly illusions appeared.
Kim Dokja gripped his sword, ready to fight them,
but suddenly, he heard the roar of a powerful demonic beast,
and a dark aura emanated from it.
He turned quickly—
and saw Arthur.
Arthur's eyes had turned blood-red, filled with tears and fury:
"You bastards… trying to deceive ?!"
Kim Dokja's body trembled at the dark aura erupting from Arthur.
Arthur roared in anger, then charged toward the ghostly illusions.
His hands moved violently, filled with rage and hatred, tearing the ghosts apart one after another.
Even though the ghosts had no physical bodies,
Arthur enveloped his hands in magical energy
and tore through them relentlessly, without pause.
He shouted furiously:
"These damn illusions made relive the two things I hate the most!"
Then, gripping one ghost by the head:
"Your mistake was making rember that bastard of a father… and that cursed monster…
now disappear!"
He split another ghost's head, ending the battle.
{The constellation Demon-Like Judge of Fire wonders about your past}
{The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband wonders what happened between you and your father}
{The constellation Abyssal Black Fla Dragon greets your father in hell}
Arthur spoke calmly, though his voice trembled with anger:
"What happened in the past is over… there's no need to bring it back."
Then he removed his mask and wiped away the blood tears streaming down his face.
He had been deeply affected by the illusions,
but his willpower and character allowed him to break free despite the pain.
He wiped his tears, then turned to the others.
Everyone was unconscious—
except Kim Dokja and Yoo Sangah, who were staring at him with shock and concern.
Arthur smiled,
then placed the mask back onto his face…
