Armed with their newfound knowledge and abilities, So-min and Chae-woo decided to perform an ancient ritual, a ceremony designed to banish Prince Yeonsan's spirit and sever his connection to the present.
They found a secluded spot in the mountains, a place where the energy of the earth was strong and the veil between worlds was thin. Under the light of the full moon, they built a small altar, adorned with candles, incense, and offerings of food and flowers.
So-min, using the knowledge gleaned from the herbal manual, prepared a special incense blend designed to purify the space and ward off evil spirits. Chae-woo, wielding the dagger, drew a protective circle around the altar, invoking the power of his ancestors to protect them from harm.
As they began the ritual, chanting ancient prayers and invoking the names of the gods, the air grew thick with energy. The wind howled through the trees, and the shadows danced around them, as if the very spirits of the mountains were responding to their call.
Suddenly, a dark presence descended upon them, a chilling wave of malice that sent shivers down their spines. Prince Yeonsan's spirit had arrived, drawn to the ritual like a moth to a flame.
"You cannot escape me," a voice echoed through the forest, a voice filled with hatred and rage. "I will have my revenge, even across the centuries."
So-min and Chae-woo stood their ground, their hearts pounding with fear, but their resolve unwavering. They knew that they were the only ones who could stop him, the only ones who could break the cycle of hatred and violence that had plagued their lives for so long.
