The chapter opens with a Hwarang member unexpectedly arriving first at a scene with a strong evil presence, surprising his peers and earning respect for his spiritual power. This is followed by a series of ominous occurrences, including a prophecy received by the Grand Overseer, the tainting of a holy flute, and the breaking of a Hwarang's Yin-Yang seal. These events suggest that a harbinger of evil might be within their ranks, creating unease and a rush to prepare a ritual. Later, a possessed worker in the ritual preparation area sets up a barrier, trapping everyone and revealing a demon's influence.
