A desolate mountain path. Hye-gang and You walk side-by-side, separated from a portion of the Martial Alliance's vanguard. Instead of the sounds of birds, an eerie aura pervades the air, and the presence of the Demonic Cult is felt from the dark forest. In the tense atmosphere, You deliberately throws playful temptations at Hye-gang, trying to shake his firm resolve.This is not a time for the ronin to jest.
Do not disturb my heart on a path to bear the suffering of sentient beings.
The aura of demons is drawing near.
