They saved Abis and even Evelyn after she was revived as a human. Moreover, they extinguished a great demon who stood at the top of the Demon Empire. Based on the results alone, the expedition was a resounding success, so much so that Chi-Woo was shocked when he confirmed the amount of merit points he’d received on his way back.

Even though Chi-Woo would have normally fallen asleep in a good mood after making such a big achievement, he had a hard time doing so. He didn’t even know how he finally fell asleep. He turned on his device as soon as he opened his eyes, but he didn’t see any message from his brother. For a brief moment, he thought his brother was acting unfairly, but he soon made a bitter smile. Who was he to insult his brother? His brother probably felt the same way when he found Chi-Woo gone. Chi-Woo lay down with a blank stare and soon got up from his bed and left the room. Then Chi-Woo saw a spirit lying prone on the wooden porch as if he were dead.

–I almost got exorcized.

“What? By who?”

–By that lady…

–No, I can fully understand why you’re doubting me, but it was truly a misunderstanding this time.

Philip...
