Kim Dokja has failed to end the battle in one move due to his mother’s overwhelming strength. Sookyung has revealed her Constellation, ‘Founder’s Mother,’ and the ancient relic Eight Beaded Bell. Sookyung probably has multiple other moves, too, yet to be revealed.

I. Kim Dokja Escapes

After using all of his money on the Echo of the Stars to contact the historical grade constellation, garlic, and mugwort fell from the sky. The Constellation’s message was to eat all the garlic and mugwort to survive the next 100 days. However, Dokja’s strength through the Constellation may be enough to break them out directly. Even if Dokja and Sooyoung get out safely, they still have to fight Sookyung.

II. Sookyung Kills Dokja

The prophecy remains that Dokja will be killed by the one he loves the most. Therefore, Dokja is predicted to die sometime soon. After seeing Sookyung use both Eight Beaded Bell and ‘Founder’s Mother,’ Dokja knows he is no match against her. However, Dokja cannot avoid this fight with his mother, which will likely result in his death.

4. Chapter 196 Recap

Kim Dokja tells Sooyoung that he’s preparing to finish this battle instantly and warns her to stay alert. Dokja chooses the Fifth Bookmark, ‘Kyrgios Rograim.’ Sookyung’s sponsor reveals her modifiers, and the Constellation ‘Founder’s Mother’ feels deep sadness from seeing Dokja.

Dokja is surprised to get a notification from ‘Founder’s Mother.’ The Constellation says that Dokja’s power threatens the Korean Peninsula Scenario and tells him to surrender. The Energy of the Old Land seals Dokja’s skill usage, rendering him powerless.

Sookyung uses the Mother of Dangun Wanggeom, Ungnyeo, to keep the two sealed. Dokja is surprised that Sookyung has the Eight-Beaded Bell. Dokja then uses ‘Echo of the Stars’ to contact a historical grade constellation. The Dokkaebis have formal education telling them to keep the plot intact and never to interfere in ways that would anger the Constellations. 

Baram, an advanced Dokkaebi, is behind most of the formal education guidelines. Sooyoung watches as garlic and mugwort fall from the sky. Dokja accuses Sooyoung of using him as a shield, and she apologizes. ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ tries to interfere with the conversation.

‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ says that Sooyoung couldn’t protect Dokja’s heart because she was trying to protect his groin. Dokja is amused to hear that Sooyoung wants to defend his thing instead of his life. Sooyoung asks Dokja why the Constellation even calls his thing the ‘Black Flame Dragon.’
