My whole body ached. I'd expended so much energy, and the demons were so strong, it seemed like it would be tough. I swayed, but I braced myself with the scabbard of the Moonlight Sword, and stood up. Then I got up and left that damned abandoned house.
"phew..."
Then, hearing a distant sound, I drew my Moonlight Sword and slashed, dodging something. It was an arrow. I wondered what it was, so I looked at the arrow and saw a note tied to it. I suspected it was that guy, but I also suspected my master—the one who taught me qigong—was experimenting with me, so I quickly opened the note.
[It's quite something. I thought it would be a bit difficult to deal with. I'll tell you the next time tomorrow. It'll probably be difficult then.]
Judging by the way he spoke, I thought he might be Master, but judging by his somewhat rude tone, I doubt it. But just in case, I thought it might be better to go and see. I thought it would be a good idea to go to the mountain where Master is. I went home first, then packed what I needed, and took an express bus to the mountain where Master is. The mountain was so steep that it was difficult. But thinking about it, there was something strange and bothering me. That was that I had lost contact with Master. We had been in contact until a few months ago, but now it's gone, and it's bothering me a little.
"Haa...haa...are we there...?"
It was strange. The once-grand gate had collapsed and was in disarray. A bad thought crossed my mind and I quickly went inside.
"Is there no one here?!!"
I went further into the inner quarters where the Master had lived, but there was no one there, only a talisman, scratch marks, and bloodstains. To find out what had happened, I attached the talisman to the oldest object in the house and quickly focused and muttered. I looked, hoping only that he was still alive. I could see the traces of that day.

"Heh heh... this is a strange feeling."
A man spoke to a white-haired old man. The old man, however, warned him to be careful and went into the inner quarters to check if he had enough talismans. He then looked at the Ilhwa Sword, which had fought alongside him for so long, and fell into thought. Just as he was about to recollect his thoughts, a loud explosion was heard. Startled by the sound, the old man, realizing it had come, grabbed the Ilhwa Sword and went outside. Outside, it was a scene of chaos. Fire had broken out, and his own disciple was being devoured by the evil spirit. The old man spoke calmly.
"Hey you!! Where did you come from, you lowlife!!"
The old man shouted loudly after the death, and the evil spirit turned its gaze toward him and moved towards him. The old man began using his sword and amulet, and eventually the old man died. However, his soul was still possessed by the evil spirit. And it was evident that many evil spirits were released that day.

"......."
I was speechless. I couldn't believe that the master I had followed so closely had died fighting like that. Furthermore, knowing that his spirit was possessed by that demon, I quickly wrestled my hands and fled the mountain, returning to the intercity bus terminal. I quickly bought a ticket and returned to Seoul. I dragged my tired body home, but my mind was still shaky. It was a huge shock. I had never seen or dealt with a demon like that. While I was resting at home, I received a phone call.
"hello"
"yes"
"Oh, can you tell me exactly?"
I feel weak and have bruises and wounds on my body."
"Oh, then please text me the address tomorrow afternoon.
Let's go and see."
So, after finishing the call, I got up and quickly went to the talisman-making room. I stayed there for a few hours and came out, and I thought I knew who the ghost was. It was probably a dream demon. Among the dream demons, it was either an incubus or a succubus. Since she said her body was weakened, it was probably a succubus, but I'm not sure. For now, I decided it would be best to just sleep and think about it.
