Chapter 78
The word didn't mean any harm to Dohyuk . Yuri raised her face to look at Dohyuk . Her face was crushed, and her beauty was gone . As she opened her mouth, a broken voice came through the destroyed teeth .
"…ngh… ha…"
"I don't know what you are trying to say . "
He was curious about what she was trying to say, but there was no time to waste . Dohyuk kicked up a small stone and grabbed it, then threw it at Yuri . It cleanly hit Yuri's head and Yuri fell unconscious and dropped back down .
"Yoo Giwon!"
Giwon then moved from the distance along with the Bermurans . The eight men were shocked to see Giwon .
"It's him!"
Giwon was a famous figure next to the Tyrant himself in the south . That man was now kneeling in front of Dohyuk when they knew what those eight men had to do . The message window then appeared in front of Dohyuk .

Giwon then asked Dohyuk, "Should I take care of them?"
Dohyuk nodded and Giwon turned to them .
"You all must know what I do to the likes of you . I will give you thirty seconds . "
All of them began to move . They took out a small dagger and began cutting their own arms and legs .
It was a sign of submission, to render oneself incapable of fighting, rather than being destroyed by the enemy . Giwon then checked each of them . They all spaced themselves out, knelt, and placed their heads on the ground . The Bermurans seemed to understand what was going on as they walked up to them and tied all of them with rope . The rope was then connected to the livestock that the Bermurans brought which then began dragging them along the ground .
"But…"
Giwon spoke as he tied the 9th . It was Yuri .
"Are you taking her alive?"
Dohyuk nodded . "We'll send them first . "
After the Bermurans walked back toward the city, Dohyuk explained what had happened . Giwon was surprised .
" . . . Disciple . Like I said, this 'Disciple' is different from what I know . "
Disciple . In most cases, it was called a 'Champion' where a god would choose one follower to wield his power . Yet, Giwon and Yuri… putting aside all the other differences, there were two of them . Dohyuk and Giwon knew only one thing .
"When you first became my disciple, you said you felt thankfulness toward me . "
"Yes, that is correct . " Giwon confirmed it . The feeling he felt when Dohyuk helped him keep the desire from the fight was shown in the rating .

Dohyuk then placed his hand on Yuri . Just like Giwon, a message popped up .
-Faith: 89/100
"It's only 4 off from yours . "
"Then there are only two reasons . Either my loyalty isn't that great or…"
"Or this woman was so pleased by the fact that she got beaten up by me and thus acquired a new feeling . "
"I would say that's very possible," Giwon said as he frowned at Yuri . They were now close to the city . Heeyun jumped down from the city wall and ran toward them .
"Dohyuk!"
She looked at Dohyuk, then toward the Bermurans and Giwon, and then the other tied up men .
"Uh… a train play?"
"Maybe . " Dohyuk smiled and Giwon spoke from his side .
"Oh, so she is 'the' administrator . Nice to meet you . "
Giwon offered a handshake and Heeyun flinched .
"He is different from us, but we can trust him . "
"Uh- okay . Nice to meet you too," Heeyun answered as she shook hands with Giwon .

"This is more than what I expected," Giwon admitted as he looked beyond the city gate .
"But I wouldn't be allowed to enter . "
Without answering, Dohyuk laid his hand on Heeyun's shoulder .
The city repelled all 'corrupt' people, but it was easy to make changes for special cases .
"Yoo Giwon can enter the city . "

Dohyuk frowned . He had enough, but it was very costly . Before Dohyuk could finish, Giwon waved his hands .
"Oh, I don't need to go in right now . I have to leave soon . "
"Oh . "
There was the bracelet they earned at Yabadop's region . The Tyrant forced Giwon to return it within a day .
"I have some time left, but it wouldn't be bad to give it to him early . "
Giwon didn't mention it, but Dohyuk knew . Giwon would die to keep his family save .
"If I don't return in five days, please use Divine Intervention . "
Dohyuk nodded, "Be careful . "
"…It's been a while since I've been cared for by someone else other than my family . "
Giwon smiled and walked away .
"He's weird," Heeyun commented .
"How was it while I was gone?"

"It wasn't too long since you were gone . I mean, there something came up but you solved it already . "
Heeyun spoke as she glanced at the Bermurans and the tied people .
"…There's something now . "
Dohyuk nodded .
. . .
"Heeyun?" Dohyuk asked as he heard something coming from behind .
"Eek! How did you know?"
Dohyuk had the ability to guess who was approaching by the distinct footsteps . It wasn't perfect, but he knew the people he spent some time with when they approached .
"Aren't you tired? You've been awake for two days already . There are others who can replace you . "
"It's okay," Dohyuk answered .
"Is that it? The one in that plastic bag . "
"Oh, yeah it is . "
"I can smell it . "
Heeyun gave the plastic bag to Dohyuk . There was warm 'bread' inside .
"Did you try it already?"
"No . I brought it so we can have it for lunch . "
Dohyuk took one out from the bag . It was a bit smaller than his palm . Dohyuk cut it in half with his hand as he glanced down the city wall . There were Bermuran tents 30 meters in the distance, and between the wall and the tents were the fields that the Bermurans helped people grow crops on .
Piyam .
It was the plant that produced pumpkin-like fruit . It had steel-like covering with white powder inside . After combining it with the water, it was then made to bake the bread that Dohyuk was eating . It wasn't as good as he expected . After drinking some water, he was able to eat half of what he was chewing .
"It's enough . "

Heeyun nodded . Although it was only bread that they could get their hands on, it was enough .
"But the Bermurans weren't too happy with it . "
"Why?"
"I guess their crops are more valuable . It takes a month to harvest and there were less fruits than usual . "
Heeyun couldn't continue as people shouted in joy from below . People were rejoicing in front of the oven that baked the bread from below .
"…People were worried . "
Heeyun spoke again .
"I mean, we had more people to feed… and the food storage was getting low . "
If Dohyuk couldn't find the answer to the food, the people would've turned unruly by now .

The amount increased in a large amount at once .
"I mean… I'm sure everyone is thinking that maybe we can live like how we did 'before', if this continues . It won't be the same, but it may be similar . "
"…Yeah," Dohyuk answered . He was looked toward the grassland, a giant piece of land with no fields or buildings .
'If I can't wipe out all threats outside, we won't be able to utilize the land . '
Even now, he felt eyes from the distance, near the ashes . That's why he made the Bermurans set up their tents and fields close to the city wall to make it easy to defend .
"Heeyun, can you take my place?"
"Of course," Heeyun answered and Dohyuk closed his eyes . The five days that Giwon spoke of had passed . It was time to move .

Dohyuk then began receiving information from Giwon .
