Recap:
Consumed by anger and vengeance for the Northern Sect’s betrayal and Seoah Hwa’s death, Mu-Won vowed to make Jo Un-Kyung pay. Un-Kyung, dismissing Mu-Won’s words as mere empty threats, questioned their involvement with the remote tribe.
Their swords clashed in a fierce battle, both warriors pushing their limits. With a powerful stroke, Mu-Won severed Un-Kyung’s arm, followed by a strike that should have ended his life.
However, a chilling twist unfolded. Un-Kyung, fueled by the chaotic power of demonic purgatory, transformed into a hulking, monstrous being. His limbs mutated into grotesque worm-like appendages, showcasing the extent of his demonic control. He revealed that he had been saving this power for a crucial moment, and now it was unleashed upon Mu-Won.
The battle escalated as Un-Kyung unleashed a torrent of demonic attacks, leaving Mu-Won staggering and weakened. Un-Kyung taunted him, claiming that Mu-Won’s brother had committed even greater atrocities against the Northern Sect, slaughtering innocent women and children. His words were laced with a sickening sweetness, and the blood from their combat splattered across the battlefield.
As the chapter concludes, Un-Kyung encases Mu-Won in a blood-forged sphere, constricting him like a serpent’s coils. This act symbolizes not just physical confinement but also the weight of the Northern Sect’s past sins that Mu-Won carries.

Will Mu-Won be able to resist the blood bond sphere’s control? How will Mu-Won react to the revelation about his brother’s actions? What are the true consequences of unleashing demonic powers?
