Chapter 27

**Judgment Time (4)** is the twenty-seventh chapter of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.

## Summary

Returning below ground, Kim Dokja eats ground rat meat to counteract his poisoning and suffers through Bihyung's panicked berating. Bihyung is concerned about how the Bald General of Justice will react to his idol's desecration, but Kim Dokja is unconcerned, as he received rewards from its shattering. He checks Ways of Survival on his phone, reading the section that describes the method he just used, and thinks that it's better to use this method than burn coins on similar skills.

Just then, the other party members return from their various trips, and Kim Dokja tells them about Yujeong Samyeongdang with Yoo Sangah's assistance, claiming that the old monk sent his items to help Korea in its time of need. Pleased, the Bald General of Justice forgives Kim Dokja, much to Bihyung's bewilderment. Kim Dokja, meanwhile, passes Samyeongdang's Beads to Yoo Sangah, knowing she will be assisted by its magic power recovery skill. To Jung Heewon, who is sulking at the fact that nearly all the party has received rewards save for her, he gives Samyeongdang's Straw Mat. Though initially reluctant, she accepts the mat, gaining its enhancement to justice and willpower. Appreciative, she decides to pray to Samyeongdang at Kim Dokja's (joking) suggestion.

The party leaves Dongguk University Station, and on the way to Chungmuro Station, encounters the sub scenario Phantom Prison. Kim Dokja recognizes this as a difficult challenge for a regressor like Yoo Joonghyuk, and warns the others to be careful; just then, they are overtaken by a fog, and the others begin to cry out in panic. Kim Dokja hears a woman's voice speaking to him and sees her face for a few seconds before [Fourth Wall] activates and breaks him free of Phantom Prison.

Yoo Sangah finds him, having been protected by her beads, and she watches as he uses his newly obtained skill [Destroy Evil] to disable Phantom Prison. Lee Hyunsung and Lee Gilyoung emerge shaken, while Jung Heewon is still trapped in the Prison's panic. Kim Dokja stuns her with a hit to the neck. The scenario ends, and Kim Dokja handles the specters that show up afterwards, taking the Specter's Stone from their bodies. Kim Dokja watches with Yoo Sangah as Lee Hyunsung and Lee Gilyoung slowly recover, worried about whether it's safe to move on with them in this condition. At that moment, however, a girl appears out of the tunnel, questioning them about their presence. Yoo Sangah recognizes her, and Kim Dokja sees through Character List] that she is indeed Lee Jihye. Main Scenario 2 ends, and he confirms that they have finally reached Chungmuro.
