"I am.. Yoo Junghyuk.."

It was the unbelievable thing that Rimuru heard from Kim Dokja.

'Wow.. amazing..'

Rimuru chuckled internally while his lips trembled from containing a loud laugh. Good thing his face was hidden under the anti-demonic mask.

Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung sweatdropped at his sudden words while Rimuru contained his laugh inside his head. The trespassers seemed to be doubtful about it, but Kim Dokja knew their skill in which he threatened and stopped the man.

Rimuru, Kim Dokja, Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung were in the Dongmyo Station. Kim Dokja was having an undeniable and too obvious acting. People doubt his face if he was really Yoo Junghyuk. Meanwhile Jung Heewon, Rimuru and Lee Hyunsung were outside guarding him.

Inside a large tent, Kim Dokja was crossing his legs as a man were on his knees in front of him. Kim Dokja interrogated the kneeling man named 'Lee Seongguk'.

But as they go further to the interrogation, a loud thud came from outside and both men walked out to see what's going on.

"U-Uikk.."

a man was on his knees while his neck was being gripped by Rimuru. He struggled for air while trying to escape from Rimuru's grasp.

"Rimuru!.."

Kim Dokja raised his voice at the blue haired. And Rimuru turned to his direction and released the man.

"Sorry.. he was trying to pick a fight at us and bossed us around."

Rimuru explained while crossing his arms. Looking at the crater which was from the impact of Heewon and the man before Rimuru choked him.

"He also flirted with Rimuru-ssi, Junghyuk-nim!.." Jung Heewon added.

Kim Dokja rubbed his temples at their explanation. Hearing it started to form a headache on his head.

"Could I ask you a few questions about yourself?.." the choked man earlier named 'Jung Minseob' asked Kim Dokja.

"You must be doubtful if I was the real Yoo Junghyuk or not." Kim Dokja replied coldly.

"T-Thats n-not it.." Jung Minseob tried to deny while stuttering.

"Go ahead." Kim Dokja just shrugged it off.

"From what I remember, you had the 'Delusional Demon' Kim Namwoon with you during your third regression.. but I noticed you had a woman and that blue haired instead...." Jung Minseob paused. Then he continued

"The woman seemed too old to be Lee Jihye, and that blue haired girl.. is not Lee jihye either.." Jung Minseob muttered.

Kim Dokja looked at him, and then he took a glance at the blue haired who was standing outside with the other two. He switched his gaze again at the two men in front of him and spoke.

"Kim Namwoon is dead.. he was killed by one of you"

The two men got surprised at his words. But they just nodded because of the mood that Kim Dokja had on his face.

"And also.. you.." Kim Dokja paused after pointing at Jung Minseob.

"Did you really flirted with Rimuru? The blue haired?.." Kim Dokja continued with a cold expression.

Jung Minseob's heart started to beat faster as he started to sweat heavily.

"I-I didn't m-mean to-"

"He's actually a guy.." Kim Dokja voiced out In a flat tone. Causing Jung Minseob and the other to be dumbfounded, leaving their mouths agape.

"Huh?"

"He's a guy so stay away from him.." Kim Dokja looked away as he added.

'You better back off..'

Kim Dokja thought to himself. But he quickly shook it off and started to interrogate the two men again.

Then Kim Dokja went straight to the blue haired who was leaning at the corner of the wall where there are no people.

"Hi.." Kim Dokja initiated their usual greeting. It was always 'Hi' and the other would be

"Hello.."

Rimuru smiled under his mask, and waved his hand towards the approaching man. He quickly stood properly and removed the mask from his face, while walking towards the man as the other was also walking towards him. Kim Dokja gave him a shy smile as he scratched his cheeks.

"... Are you okay?.." Kim Dokja asked. He was asking because of what happened between Rimuru and Jung Minseob.

"You shouldve asked that to the victim.." Rimuru replied while smirking.

"And that's why I'm asking you." Kim Dokja added as he faced Rimuru directly, until their eyes met each other.

Rimuru who heared this felt his heart skip a beat. He looked away and faked coughed to break the growing tension between them.

"I'm fine.. " Rimuru mumbled as he kept his eyes away from Kim Dokja's.

The group stared at the 'secret weapon' that the 'prophets' had revealed to them. Kim Dokja's eyes widened and he quickly grabbed Rimuru by the hand and sprinted along with the others.

As the four of them ran, the 'secret weapon' that was a meteorite in form started to growl. It was shaking and cracks started to appear on its surface as a fiery light escaped from its tiny cracks.

Before someone could get out os the area, a red barrier prevented them from escaping as a new scenario appeared on their screens.

Then the meteorite exploded with a steam, filling the area with hot air. Everyone who was close to the meteorite was burnt and killed.

[The signs of the fifth scenario begins to appear.]

Kim Dokja stand in front as the others hid behind him. Rimuru stepped beside Kim Dokja and looked at him.

"Did you know that this was going to happen?.."

Rimuru questioned while looking back and forth at the bright orange light that came from the meteorite.

"I know what it is.. but I didn't know that this was going to happen"

Kim Dokja replied as his face showed full of concern while he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

'please don't be a major disaster.'

Kim Dokja thought as he looked towards the bright orange light that was starting to disappear.

When the light slowly dispersed, a dragon was revealed.

[Tier 5 Fire Dragon, 'Lesser Dragon Igneel' has appeared!]

'A catastrophe.'

The dragon's mouth made a shilling sound as it started to form an orb of flames. But a flick of a finger, it disappeared. The dragon behaved as a Dokkaebi appeared.

[Some constellations are protesting at the sudden spike of difficulty.]

["Hmm.. this isn't good. How did you end up in this route anyway?.. you guys did seem to get ahead of yourselves lately.. how could you awaken a catastrophe when you haven't even finished the fourth scenario yet?.."]

the dokkaebi looked down at the people with seriousness on its expression.

["Some of you have supporting Constellation who cares about you so I won't let you die.. but i still can't Lower the difficulty"]

People who heared the dokkaebi started to complain and shouted at the small fluffy ball. But it just snapped it's fingers and a new sub-scenario appeared at their screens.

-----------------------------------------------------------

People who were still alive were running away from the dragon, while Kim Dokja and others were still in there place.

"Are we gonna fight that thing?!!" Lee Hyunsung asked in a complaining voice.

"I ca-.."

"No. Don't ever dream about it." Kim Dokja cutted off Rimuru's words.

"But how are we supposed to survive!?." It was Jung Heewon's turn to ask.

"Ill ki-"

"I've got a plan.." Kim Dokja cutted off Rimuru's words again.

An irk appeared on Rimuru's forehead as he was annoyed at the interruption.

"I ca-" The blue haired tried to speak again. But he was cutted off before he can even say what he wanted to.

"Run clockwise everyone!!" Kim Dokja instructed them as they started to run away from their spots. Rimuru who heared this, moved quickly from the spot as a wave of flames shooted out from the dragon's mouth that attempted to burn them on the area they just left.

'we've managed to dodge its first attack!..'

Kim Dokja thought as he was running away from the dragon's gaze.

[Tier 5 Fire Dragon, 'Lesser Dragon Igneel' is preparing to use 'Flames of Destruction']

The dragon started to breath fire heavily, then in one inhalation, flames started to collect inside it's mouth and tried to fire it towards Kim Dokja. But an icicle of ice flew in the air and landed on the Dragon's scales, causing it to leave a scratch before it melted away.

The dragon looked towards the attacker and saw the blue haired. It blasted the 'Flames of Destruction' from its mouth, without hesitation.

Rimuru, who saw this quickly moved away. The others also occupied the plates that would protect them for a few seconds.

Kim Dokja was having a word exchange with the 'fifth disciple' while they were moving from one place to another, just to occupy a plate.

The dragon tackled its tail and hit the people, while it's claws went straight towards Rimuru.

The blue haired swiftly evaded the claws and he fired multiple icicles at the dragon's eye. Causing it to stagger and back away from Rimuru, it closed its eyes then looked at the blue haired again.

It started to gather flames from the air to its mouth, preparing to shoot all of its fiery breath.

[The exclusive skill 'Water Blade lvl.1' has been activated.]

Cresent-like water flew towards the Dragon's direction, attempting to land a scratch. But even without a close distance, it instantly evaporated from the heat that the dragon was emitting.

Kim Dokja cursed to himself as he thought that the skill will work since water puts out fire, but it didn't. Because the water can put the fire out, but not the heat.

But it didn't stop him from trying, he used the skill many times as possible. But all of it evaporated and caused steams before it could even get close to the dragon.

'should I just fire it all?!!'

Kim Dokja thought in annoyance.

"Don't even dream about firing a barrage of water blades Kim Dokja!!.. we'll die here if you do!!"

Rimuru shouted across the area, he noticed that the latter was getting annoyed.

Rimuru started to sprint towards the corner of the room, trying his best to not be burned.

He was jumping and running from grounds and walls, until the dragon's attention was averted from him and towards Kim Dokja.

The dragon fired it's 'Flames of Destruction' towards Kim Dokja. But he avoided it by going down and sprinting towards the flagpole. He held his flag, and with a jump, the flag was placed on the flagpole.

[You have taken over the Anguk Station.]

[You have taken control of ten stations in total!]

[You have completed the hidden Scenario - King's Path.]

Kim Dokja huffed and stood there.

"King of No Killing"

Kim Dokja choose and the dragon fired it's flames again towards some people. Then it's direction started to go towards Kim Dokja.

"You should be careful.." Kim Dokja huffed as he warned the already burning 'fifth disciple'.

"You only live once, after all."

The dragon started to bend down and locked its mouth towards Kim Dokja's direction. It's mouth started to gather flames and formed a ball, until it fired a stream of flames towards the black haired.

"You should say that to yourself!!.." Rimuru appeared infront of the man and stretched out his arms.

'Devour anything that comes my way.'

[The stigma 'Gluttony lvl.2' has been been activated!]

'Gluttony!!'

Black smoke was released from Rimuru's hands, then it quickly formed a dark vortex and whirled as it consumed all the flames from the dragon.

"Hahaha!.. How many letters are there In Gluttony?!!"

Rimuru laughed hysterically while consuming all the flames, until the dark vortex stuck to the dragon's skin. The dragon roared as the vortex started to pull and attempted to consume the dragon, but it failed.

Gluttony isn't strong enough to consume larger beings, and it had a low chance of consuming individuals who still have consciousness. The vortex retracted to Rimuru's hand as the Dragon's skin was left with corroded skin in different parts of its body. Even it's scales cannot endure the corrosive effect from Rimuru's 'Gluttony'.

The Dragon growled as it started to back away in caution. Kim Dokja was bewildered at this scene, looking back and forth towards the blue haired and the dragon.

'How?!'

Kim Dokja's eyes were still wide as his mouth was agape. He knew that he can just revive himself after getting burned but this blue-haired man appeared suddenly and saved his experience from being burned alive.

'.. You really are full of surprises, Rimuru.. and that's why I won't give you to someone else..'

Kim Dokja declared internally as his sweat dropped from across his face and then towards the ground. But those thoughts were quickly shaken off by Rimuru.

"Kim Dokja run!!"

"How about you!?."

"I can manage!! Now go!!."

"I won't leave you here!."

"Do you want to die?!.."

Both of them argued in the middle of a crisis. Even the dragon raised its imaginary brow and gave them a side eye.

Then it fired its fiery breath again, causing mayhem in that direction.

Rimuru noticed the arriving heat from the flames, and he quickly grabbed Kim Dokja's hand and dragged him away.

As the two of them ran, Kim Dokja's eyes landed on the blue ice pill that was rolling on the ground.

"Rimuru! Th-" Kim Dokja pointed at the pill, but he was interrupted by Rimuru.

"You want some candy?!! In this situation!?"

"N-"

"I'll give you some later if you survive! And I'll give you a bunch of icicles if you die!."

Kim Dokja's forehead marked an irk as he quickly explained what those pills meant. Rimuru flushed it with embarrassment as he nodded and picked up the pills from the ground as fast as he could.

The others who saw this also grabbed the pills that were close to them. Then they gave it to Kim Dokja and Rimuru.

"What are you going to do with this?" Rimuru asked.

"Watch and learn," Kim Dokja replied as he took all the pills to his mouth.

'I can't let you have fun always.'

Kim Dokja's body started to turn white on the surface of its skin, releasing a cold aura that freezes the ground. Rimuru looked at him and smirked under his mask. The others who was watching this was showing signs of concern.

[You are protected by the skill, 'Ice Resistance lvl.5'.]

"Get behind."

Kim Dokja commanded as he brought his sword infront. The sword started to glow with dark linings and a mix of blue from the cold aura.

The dragon roared once again as it stomped its way towards Kim Dokja. The man launched himself at the dragon, jumped above and stabbed it's weak spot.

The dragon roared in pain as it looked at Kim Dokja and gathered flames to its mouth again. But before it could launch its attack, an icicle hit it's jaw and the ball of flames exploded in its face.

"Go finish it!!" said Rimuru.

Kim Dokja quickly held his sword on the air and swung it down towards the Dragon's weak spot. It left a trace of ice as it formed a wound and blood. But the dragon didn't give up and whipped the man with its tail.

Kim Dokja flew towards the wall as he grunted in pain.

[The exclusive skill 'Icicle Lance LV.4' has been activated.]

Multiple icicles fired towards the dragon until one of it landed deeply in the dragon's heart. The dragon roared in pain as it was starting to get frozen.

Kim Dokja picked up his sword once again and sprinted towards the dragon. He jumped to an equal footing with the dragon's head, and he slashed it with all of his strength. The head of the dragon dropped on the ground as the body was frozen.

[You have the first blood of the minor catastrophe 'Lesser Dragon Igneel']
