Chapter 61
In a café on a weekday afternoon, Soo-ah tells the protagonist she skips school whenever she feels like it. She asks him to explain the difference between wizards, exorcists, and shamans, using a squatter-in-a-house analogy. He explains that shamans persuade the anomaly, while exorcists and wizards force it out, sometimes enslaving it. After his lesson, he announces he has a Ghostbuster client appointment and she tags along as his assistant. At the client's apartment, they find mold on the wall shaped like The Scream. The trembling female client wonders if it is paranormal. The protagonist recognizes it as ordinary mold, cleans it with a wet mop and mold remover, and Soo-ah helps by wiping his sweat and handing him a hair dryer to dry the wall. The client, convinced by the performance, thanks him and pays. Outside, Soo-ah calls the case kind of a scam, then provocatively asks why he doesn't release ghosts into people's homes for profit. He refuses, explaining his philosophy: he only takes requests he can handle and doesn't manufacture trouble. She accepts his answer and asks him to continue teaching her magic, discussing whether talent is required. He compares magic to winning a race, and she declares that using magic still counts as winning with her own strength. He awards her one wizard point. She asks what she gets at ten points; he replies she gets to feel good. Amused, he considers giving her his notebook of compiled magic knowledge if she collects enough points.

Chapter 62
Yoannis and Mia stay at a hotel used as a vampire base while Chairman Kim performs a cannibalistic ritual. Yoannis shows Mia a tablet listing potential operational buildings in Korea and they discuss the low interest in the De Vermis Mysteriis bounty on Mage Net, suspecting deliberate interference. Yoannis explains the vampire is a cosmic entity, not an earthly vampire, and reveals he watched it tear apart a Tiger tank. He worries the ritual will draw the grimoire's owner into Chairman Kim's affairs. Mia grows jealous, asking if Yoannis and his former student were lovers, which Yoannis denies. Later, Yo-han visits the secret workshop, bringing Grizzly an unplugged fridge to play with; the familiar's cries turn to confusion when cold air fails to appear until Yo-han replugs it. The chapter ends with Namgung Soo-ah arriving to learn Holy Water crafting, and Chief Kim reporting to Chairman Kim that he has located Soo-ah.

Chapter 63
In the Special Ops Team 3 office, Lee Hye-eun questions Shin Si-on about how one becomes a grimoire owner. Si-on explains that bloodline is not the primary factor; grimoires prioritize personal taste, and talent matters but cannot override a book's selection. She references Solomon, Rehoboam, and Isaac Newton to illustrate her points, noting Newton was both a wizard and a flawed king. Hye-eun worries about Kim Yo-han being chosen by Solomon's Lemegeton, but Si-on reassures her, suggesting they get coffee. The scene shifts to a winter evening street where Namgung Soo-ah walks with Yo-han, asking about mana and requesting extended magic tutoring. Their conversation is interrupted when a black car strikes Yo-han. Chief Kim and his men abduct both Yo-han and Soo-ah, shooting two of Soo-ah's bodyguards. In the van, an invisible force kills one subordinate while Yo-han, seemingly unharmed, uses the Sixth Pentacle of Mars to block fatal injuries and commands the remaining driver to change course.

Chapter 64
In a van, Yo-han interrogates a trembling driver subordinate who reveals that Chairman Kim is hosting a cannibalistic ritual dinner called 'The Table of the Great Ones' to force Namgung Soo-ah to attend. Yo-han heals a forehead wound with a healing incantation and, upon arrival, Grizzly crushes the driver's head and drags two entrance guards inside to avoid drawing attention. In the lobby, more of Kim's subordinates are slain. Inside the candlelit banquet hall, masked attendees watch as Soo-ah is bound to her seat, revulsed by the grotesque feast around her. Yo-han enters, tastes the human flesh steak, and spits it out, criticizing the strong gamy flavor. He tells a bewildered Soo-ah to close her eyes if she wishes to remain his assistant. Grizzly then slaughters the attendees as the 'feast' begins. Yo-han reflects that he still must find Chairman Kim himself and, with armed subordinates approaching, the Lesser Key of Solomon materializes, opening to a page on Solomon's 72 demons.

Chapter 65
In a blood-soaked party hall, Yo-han instructs a trembling Soo-ah to survive the incoming assault by Chairman Kim's armed men. He performs an abbreviated purification ritual with water and salt while she draws a protective magic circle in blood. As Chief Kim breaches the doors with riflemen, Yo-han completes the summoning circle and calls forth legions of demons. Chief Kim orders his men to open fire, but bullets are intercepted by Grizzly. The building transforms into an offering for the Kings of Hell as demons pour forth. Chairman Kim arrives, taunting about Soo-ah, but flees in terror when an abyss opens beneath the building, leaping from a window and landing on a car. Paimon, a beautiful demon riding a camel, emerges from the summoning circle and sings 'Virtual Insanity' to her legion. Yo-han binds her with chains of light from the Lesser Key of Solomon, declaring himself her master as she screams in humiliation.

Chapter 66
Yo-han subdues the demon king Paimon with light shackles from the Lesser Key of Solomon, taunting and dominating the kneeling demon before releasing him. Paimon departs with sarcastic promises of future intimacy, and a vortex obliterates the corpse-strewn party hall, leaving only Yo-han and the trembling Soo-ah. Soo-ah emerges, alarmed by Yo-han's bleeding forehead; he reassures her, appoints her his holy-water-making assistant, and they flee. At the hotel, a family doctor treats Yo-han's forehead wound while Soo-ah watches over him. Remembering his notebook, she reads a healing spell from his coat and places her hand on his forehead, chanting 'Bone to bone, blood to blood,' hoping to mend his injuries.

Chapter 68
Chairman Kim, reduced to a fugitive after his secret workshops are raided, realizes this hideout is a trap set by the Special Operations Division. As gunfire erupts, he uses two subordinates as meat shields before transforming into a beast-like manticore form via the grimoire Cultes des Goules, slaughtering agents. Si-on arrives with Team 3, severs his transformed left arm with the Four Tiger Sword, and wounds his eye with a pistol shot. Overwhelmed, Chairman Kim screams for his master Yoannis. The blond vampire appears at the name, correcting his subordinates' 'Nazi Vampire' label with 'Alchemist of Constantinople.' Team Leader Park calls desperately for the Director, who arrives on a motorcycle alongside the floating grimoire Muyedobot'ongji, deploying Twin Swords to cut down the vampire horde in a standoff with Yoannis.

Chapter 69
In a fierce nighttime battle, Yoannis commands his blood-kin vampires while taunting Shin Do-ryong with flattering nicknames, which the director dismisses with dry corrections. Shin Do-ryong summons a Thompson submachine gun and later a Japanese sword named Waegum, clashing with Yoannis's Claymore in a storm of bullets and arcane energy. Mia, Yoannis's worried vampire retainer, is told to stay back as the two magic swordsmen exchange blows. Team Leader Park and Team 3 agent Lee Hye-eun coordinate field command and medical regrouping under fire. After Yoannis reveals his Damascus steel blade and green Greek fire, Shin Do-ryong cuts through the flame net with a thread-coated blade, revealing the vampire's telekinetic flame-arrows. The team retreats with Chairman Kim escaping. Later, at a hotel, a depressed Namgung Soo-ah lingers; Yo-han gently urges her home, to study, and to reach out, ending with her anxious but playful demand that he answer her directly before she departs.

Chapter 70
The chapter opens with an unnamed summoner prostrating before a golden-framed mirror, groveling to Paimon, King of the West in Hell, begging for demonic power and honor. Paimon, bored and disinterested, severs the connection, cracking the artifact. In her bedroom, Paimon receives a report from a demon maid about a finished painting, then directs the maids to hang a portrait of Yo-han leashing her. Overcome by infatuation, she strangles herself with a chained collar, moaning about domineering pretty boys, and playfully scolds the maid for pointing out she lacks a womb. She then writes an entry in the Paimon Gazette declaring she met Yo-han first. The parchment is read by Gremory, who resolves to visit Korea in a familiar form. Meanwhile, British Wizard Council officials react in alarm to Gremory's departure and the rising bounty on the De Vermis Mysteriis owner. Namgung Soo learns his daughter Soo-ah has returned safely and contemplates using time reversal to save his wife. A Mage Net mercenary named Hard decides to collect the 10 billion won bounty, while Elsea excitedly discusses the Finnish band Hevisaurus with the angel Raziel before departing for Korea.

Chapter 72
After ending a call with Shin Si-on, Kim Yo-han reflects on his violent past while considering how to strengthen his magic arsenal. He consults De Vermis Mysteriis, which reveals a page teaching the summoning of Earth Elementals called Gnomes. Intrigued, he purchases camping equipment and supplies from Mephisto Market, travels to a low mountain at night, and prepares a summoning circle in a cleared patch of frozen ground. With Grizzly's help he digs the required pit, then recites an incantation invoking Adonai, Elohim, and El. The ritual succeeds, and miniature dwarven Gnomes with squishy cheeks, fluffy white beards, and red triangular hats emerge from the earth. One Gnome offers him a gold coin and invites him to play, confirming that the grimoire's spell was correct all along. Yo-han reflects that wealth itself is a form of power for a wizard.

Chapter 75
In a darkened city street at rush hour, Lee Mun-ryong ambushed by an Vampire Grizzly, familiar to Yo-han's De Vermis Mysteriis. Though his spear is shattered, Lee Mun-ryong survives through speed and technique, aided by Alphons, an elemental wizard of the Paracelsus School, who attacks Yo-han with water tentacles. Yo-han retaliates by thrusting a broken spear shaft at the wizard's ribs, creating an opening. Alphons summons storm clouds with rainwater magic, revealing Grizzly's form, while Yo-han calls forth a swarm of earth gnomes to distract his foe. The gnomes are swiftly ensnared by Alphons's explosive vine magic, but the distraction allows Yo-han to flee into the rainy alley. Lee Mun-ryong recovers with a healing potion, noting that contracting with earth elementals temporarily boosts bodily durability, and resolves to continue the pursuit under the relentless rain.

In a makeshift workshop, Alphons prepares alchemical solutions while Lee Mun-ryong inspects his broken spear; they discuss strategy, noting Yo-han has been running since the evening ambush. Radio screams erupt as the pursuing mercenaries close in. Alphons identifies Yo-han's location from a silver dish. The scene shifts to a deserted street where Yo-han, starving and exhausted, confronts his hunters. He delivers a defiant speech about the wild, then surprises Lee Mun-ryong by drawing the recovered pistol and firing, acting on advice from the Mephisto Market user ILovePrettyBoys.

In a makeshift workshop, Alphons prepares alchemical solutions while Lee Mun-ryong inspects his broken spear; they discuss strategy, noting Yo-han has been running since the evening ambush. Radio screams erupt as the pursuing mercenaries close in. Alphons identifies Yo-han's location from a silver dish. The scene shifts to a deserted street where Yo-han, starving and exhausted, confronts his hunters. He delivers a defiant speech about the wild, then surprises Lee Mun-ryong by drawing the recovered pistol and firing, acting on advice from the Mephisto Market user ILovePrettyBoys.

Chapter 78
Yo-han reflects on why he chose to hire Lee Mun-ryong rather than kill him, comparing it to recruiting a strong enemy general in a Romance of the Three Kingdoms game. He explains that recent attacks—especially Alphons's targeted assault—revealed that information about his grimoire ownership had leaked, prompting him to recruit the Breathing Technique master as a bodyguard and gather information in reverse. In his cramped studio apartment, Lee Mun-ryong sips tea, inspects the quarters, and agrees to teach Yo-han the Breathing Technique. After a grueling training session, Yo-han collapses in sweat. The Gnomes arrive, and Lee Mun-ryong demonstrates a comical 'Gnome Fist Technique,' prompting Grizzly to bite his pant leg and drag him across the floor. The commotion is interrupted by a doorbell. Yo-han opens the door to find a box containing a grimoire disguised as a martial arts manual. He recognizes it as Baopuzi, which had previously called to him under the stars, and notes that the Lesser Key of Solomon had similarly teleported itself to a bazaar. The chapter closes with Yo-han realizing that wizards are now openly seeking him out.

Chapter 79
Yo-han brings home the third grimoire, Baopuzi, an Eastern Daoist text by Ge Hong focused on achieving immortality through one's own effort rather than heavenly aid. He recognizes the xianxia-flavored philosophy and discovers the book's 'immortality' methods are essentially healthy breathing techniques, alchemy with medicinal herbs, and bedchamber arts. He tells Lee Mun-ryong he'll study the Breathing Technique via the grimoire and asks for future advice, delighting the spear master. The Baopuzi trembles at being tossed on the bed while De Vermis Mysteriis and the Lesser Key of Solomon mock it. Meanwhile, an unnamed old man with a Crescent-Moon Blade storms a mountain Daoist temple, finds the Baopuzi's box empty, and is confronted by outraged temple priests. At a Bureau briefing, Shin Do-ryong identifies the intruder as the former Greatest Under Heaven, Supreme Spear Lee Mun-ryong, and declares himself the current titleholder.

Chapter 88
After his studio apartment burns down, Yo-han is approached by Chairman Kim in a black limousine. Kim, wearing an expensive suit and flashing sharp fangs, invites the exhausted Yo-han into his car and takes him to one of his owned restaurants—an upscale omakase spot. Over the counter, Kim lays out a ceasefire proposal: he admits to arson to destroy evidence, acknowledges Yo-han's strength, and offers partnership with his faction, suggesting Yoannis would welcome him. Yo-han listens silently, gazing at the burning building through the tinted window. When the chef presents a plate of yukhoe dripping with blood, Yo-han coldly identifies it as human meat. He then requests the chef's dominant hand; Grizzly obliterates the chef's arm and slaughters Kim's subordinates outside. Bloodied and pinned by Grizzly's arm, Kim pleads for his life, but Yo-han declares that revenge is about settling a debt, not producing something. With Grizzly's permission, the familiar devours Kim alive as Yo-han dryly notes he is a generous person, leaving the ruined restaurant behind.
