Whooosh—

The wind blew. A gentle breeze rustled through my hair, stirring the silent water into faint ripples.

It felt like nothing more than a soft breeze. Yet, I knew this wind was unnatural.

A space sealed off by rock on all sides. A place where no wind should blow—yet, from somewhere, the wind arrived.

Utterly out of place. Yet, I had felt this once before.

‘When I saw the Divine Tree in Yahwol..’

Back then, too—a soft breeze had passed through a place where no wind should exist.

This was no different.

A wind where there should be none. A sensation I could now understand, something I hadn't realized back then.

‘This… isn’t from the Divine Tree.’@@novelbin@@

Something foreign.

Something that shouldn’t exist.

The wind was born from something I couldn’t comprehend.

And now, I stood before its source.

A woman—one who called herself a spirit.

A being who once resided on Mount Marryeong, claiming to be a priestess who could speak her master’s words and will.

The moment I saw her, my heart responded.

Thump!

A violent, pounding heartbeat. The energy sealed within me surged wildly.

Was it because she was an enemy? No, this was—

‘Because I was facing something beyond comprehension.’

A presence so high and distant that I dared not even look up to it.

A primal instinct whispered that I shouldn’t—couldn’t—dare to judge it.

I felt it deeply as I stared into the spirit’s gaze. She only looked back, silent.

Yet, I noticed something had changed.

Though her eyes were hidden behind a veil, something felt visible.

I stared at her, my thoughts racing—where had I felt this before?
