The Destiny skill always activates without warning.

The first time it activated was when a preliminary card appeared that helped me break down Son Minkis ruse.

After that, the Destiny skill continued moving as its own entity.

I dont know when and how it activates, so I was inevitably nervous whenever it does.

But because of the Destiny skill, I was able to save Kwon Lena, had Yeom Junyeol as my student, got the Fate of the Unknown card in my hands, and found the kids who cheered for me during the chess tournament.

I was able to meet several superior beings too.

And those werent the only things.

If it werent for this skill, Eunho would still be

The Destiny skill saved many people.

Considering my experiences so far, I should be glad and welcoming of the system alarm notifying me that it activated.

Nevertheless, I couldnt find myself relaxing.

If I make a mistake here, Ill miss something important.

I get a lot of hints and important opportunities through the Destiny skill.

During the entrance exam, although it gave me more recourse to deal with Son Minki, I still had to take care of the guy with my own hands.

If I hadnt reached my hands out to catch Kwon Lena, if I hadnt made an offer to Yeom Junyeol

The what-ifs flooded my mind.

Things will surely go wrong if I miss hints and dont move accordingly.

Whats going to happen? Is it a superior being again?

Since were in the research institute that had the artificial descent project, I thought for sure that it would be another encounter with a superior being.

However, my prediction was wrong.

The unique phenomenon when superior beings descend didnt occur.

!

Yeom Junyeol and Jecheondaesung sensed something and raised their energy waves.

Its similar to when Hwang Jiho sensed the Destiny skill getting activated during the chess tournament, and it seems like only royal lineage and descendants can sense it.

It could also be simply because those two have superior senses to the others.

Fwaaa

Shards of light scattered beyond the released seal.

Because of the energy waves left on the letters engraved through the Spiritual Word skill, the contents of the seal and the shape of the fragments werent visible at first.

After a moment, the fragments stayed around me for a while before disappearing.

I clearly saw its shape.

Its definitely a chain.

Was it the Destiny skills intention to make me see it?

Its somewhat strange to think that skill has its own will and intention.

I havent made a proper judgment yet, but the situation turned around quickly.

Hwik!

The view wasnt clear, but Jecheondaesung moved quickly as if he could clearly see what was inside.

I saw him lift the Ruyi Bang, so I shouted without realizing it.

Everyone, defend yourselves!

I stood in front of Yeom Junyeol who I judged is the most in danger among us.

Those who found out what was happening a beat later raised their energy waves in astonishment.

Shwiik!

Jecheondaesungs Ruyi Bang passed through the huge tank.

Since the tank itself wasnt as solid as the seal of the Demon Race, the tank was smashed in just one swing of the Ruyi Bang.

When the tank was destroyed, water and debris from the tank exploded.

Kwaaaaa!

The destructive power was unusual.

It was as if the Demon Races mana remained in the water inside the tank.

The surrounding area quickly became a mess.

Thanks to my quick reflexes and Do Wonwoos light skill forming an iron wall to defend us, our party was safe.

However, the researchers who were still paralyzed and the demon that Yoo Sanghoon threw aside all crumpled like pieces of tissue paper and rolled toward the walls.

Its difficult to use Hongryong when submerged in water like this. Thank you.

The first thing my good student did after the aftermath of the destruction was thanked me.

I felt emotional for no reason at Yeom Junyeols sudden expression of gratitude.

My playable characters arent weak so they wouldnt get hurt by something like this easily, but I think its best to be sure.

I immediately complained to Jecheondaesung.

We almost got hurt.

He looked distracted by the tank so I didnt think hed respond, but the answer came out quicker than expected.

I was in a hurry and my hands moved first. You guys wouldnt get hurt by something like this. Look.

Jecheondaesung didnt get wet at all.

But unlike his first appearance, Jecheondaesungs jacket was off.

Woosh.

He had his jacket in his hands, something wrapped inside it.

In his arms was a girl with a body size small enough to be wrapped in Jecheondaesungs coat.

Yoo Sanghees face turned pale when she saw the girl.

There was a person in there?

Yoo Sanghee mustve known about the tanks existence, although shes unaware of its contents.

Jecheondaesung spoke in response to Yoo Sanghee.

This child is not human.

Jecheondaesung looked at the child that he held in his arms.

The childs eyes were closed.

Jecheondaesungs face was mixed with pity, sorrow, and anger, but also a relief.

The childs energy is weak so I didnt recognize it right away, but this child is a royal lineage.

Yes, this child is royal lineage.

Jecheondaesung nodded at Yeom Junyeols words, and then he uttered the name of the child in his arms.

This is Wu Zhiqi. My long lost dongsaeng.

Jecheondaesungs dongsaeng, Wu Zhiqi.

There were theories of Mu Jigi being a monster of water, and there were some that regards her as a god.

After the otherworld collisions and myths and legends turned to reality, some beings remained as royal lineage while some became superior beings.

Jecheondaesung and Hyunmoo are those that could be superior beings, but they chose to remain in this world as royal lineage.

It wouldnt be strange if Mu Jigi could be a superior being considering the power released just now.

Wu Zhiqi ran wild in the human world and was sealed by King Wu. Chained to chains and irons, she was thrown under the riverbed. Well, its this bastards fault so I planned to cool off my head first before bringing her back in.

The appearance of Wu Zhiqi depicted in myths and legends were very different from her appearance now.

If Jecheondaesung hadnt mentioned her name, I would have no idea who she was.

Is it because shes been sealed for a long time? The texts describe her as someone a few times taller than regular human beings.

The jacket didnt cover her whole body, and Wu Zhiqis toes were visible a little.

Her foot had a red chain mark.

Seeing that there was no chain binding her now, it seems like the chain that bound her was made of energy.

After the otherworld collisions, I belatedly traveled to greet my dongsaeng, but when I arrived at the river, Wu Zhiqi wasnt there. There was only one piece of iron left.

Jecheondaesung had no idea if Wu Zhiqi escaped on her own or was taken by someone.

He didnt seem to think that it was the latter.

After all, who would dare mess with the younger sibling of Jecheondaesung, a royal lineage with powers close to superior beings?

But there were people in this world that once called themselves the Docheon

Docheon, which means to be filled with a great amount of water, or to despise the sky and heaven without fear.

Those men who didnt fear the heavens have come to kidnap Wu Zhiqi.

I see Wu Zhiqi has been here all this time.

The once powerful monster who possessed great power and caused disasters was now laying powerless in her brothers arms.

No one dared to speak while Jecheondaesung looked at his dongsaeng.

Wu Zhiqi had her eyes closed, and we could see her body shake a bit.

Although she hasnt awoken yet, her body functions seemed to return little by little.

Jecheondaesung took her pulse.

Youve become very weak.

According to the book Journey to the West, Jecheondaesung was also well-versed in medicine.

There was even an anecdote that Sun Wukong heals an ill king.

However, in the novels, Sun Wukong treats the disease with medicinal herbs, not his own healing skills.

It would be difficult to heal his sister at this location if he doesnt have any herbs on hand.

Unlike Yoo Sanghee, who possesses a healing light skill.

May I treat her?

Yoo Sanghee couldnt hide her guilt.

Ive done tests on this tank before. I didnt know that your dongsaeng was in it, but those experiments that I did

The researchers and Yoo Sanghee only saw the tank tied with a powerful seal as an energy source.

Who knew that there was a royal lineage trapped and sealed inside?

If only she knew that there was someones dongsaeng trapped in there, Yoo Sanghee wouldnt have participated further.

Jecheondaesungs expression sunk at the word experiment, but he soon nodded.

You will tell me about it later. Treat my dongsaeng first.

Yoo Sanghee repeatedly apologized.

I dont know what sorts of experiments shed done, but its certain that they placed a great burden on Wu Zhiqi.

Jecheondaesung shook Yoo Sanghees hand and said that there was no need to apologize, and Yoo Sanghee soon began to heal Wu Zhiqi.

The wind carrying Akeas power wrapped around Wu Zhiqi.

Wu Zhiqi was carried by the wind away from Jecheondaesungs arms and became enveloped in powerful light particles.

That guy likes to keep shiny things around him for sure.

Jecheondaesung was looking at me.

He was blindfolded, but the direction of his gaze was clear.

I will not forget this grace, nor my resentment.

Jecheondaesung mustve heard something from the tigers before he came here.

He seemed certain that I was the one who called him here, and he would be correct.

Everything seemed to be working out well, but there was still something that bothered me.

Why in the world did the Destiny skill activate?

Nothing happened yet, and it bothered me.

The Destiny skill points me to hints and clues, and the fact that I cant see anything happening means Im missing something here.

Those chain fragments must have something to do with it.

It cant be a coincidence that those fragments of chains that held Wu Zhiqi appeared in front of my eyes.

It was Do Wonwoo who activated his light skill and created a wall of iron chain to protect us from debris when Jecheondaesung suddenly destroyed the tank.

As if he was also bothered by something, Do Wonwoo began to speak.

Those chains earlier

Do Wonwoo felt my gaze and immediately shut his mouth and quickly hid his expression.

It was astonishing that he can put up a calm front in a split second.

I dont think those chains were Do Wonwoos.

Ive used Do Wonwoos light skill before, and I saw what those chains look like for sure.

Do I have to do something once I find out?

And then it hit me.

Do Sihoos light skill!
