Chapter 91
The chapter opens with Yoannis and Mia reviewing CCTV footage showing Yo-han with a woman—Ellie—at a hamburger joint before entering a walled church. Recognizing the Vatican's involvement, Yoannis decides to lay low while Shin Do-ryong's division searches. The scene then shifts to a remote countryside church where Gideon, the Vatican's 2nd Mage Hunter known as the 'Sword of God,' confronts a Demon Worshipper disguised as an elderly priest. After a brutal battle in which Gideon slaughters demons and apostates, he faces Herald, a fallen priest possessed by Morax, the 21st of Solomon's demons. Gideon defeats the demon with his cross-shaped sword. Afterward, Sister Sophia, Ellie's adoptive mother, arrives. Gideon reveals his paternal feelings for Ellie, discusses her future as a nun, and laments the dangers her lineage poses. The chapter concludes with Yo-han receiving Ellie's pajamas, wine, and bread to set a barrier, while Namgung Soo-ah playfully teases him about his lack of romantic experience before tagging along to watch.

Chapter 92
Soo-ah and Yo-han walk through the snow-covered Cathedral courtyard, where he explains his house burned in an arson attack and his Magic Classroom is closed. He sets up a bread-and-wine Barrier near the wall while Soo-ah hands him wine and asks why he didn't cast one at his studio apartment. While scattering crumbs, Yo-han senses interference and discovers carved angel names on the bricks—Aiel, Tual, Giel, Kael, Ol, Voil, Yael—forming the Twelve Houses of the Zodiac, revealing an existing Directional Ward Magic. Back at the Cathedral, they watch a cartoon with the orphan girls; Soo-ah buys a laptop on credit for Yo-han after he asks to borrow money, then teases the children about the Captain's Treasure Map set. The scene shifts to the aftermath of the battle, where Shin Do-ryong rests calmly amid fallen mercenaries while Shin Se-hee scolds him. Team Leader Park reports the situation, and Shin Si-on informs her father that Yo-han, owner of multiple Grimoires, now needs Special Operations Division protection. Despite Vatican jurisdiction concerns, Do-ryong defers the discussion. Returning to the orphanage, Yo-han rests in his guest room after a long day.

Chapter 93
The chapter opens in Ellie's Church guest room, where Yo-han wakes beneath a stack of his grimoires at dawn. He joins Ellie outside, who is clearing snow, and they share a cheerful morning exchange before she rushes off to make breakfast. At the table, Ellie serves a hearty Korean breakfast of soybean paste stew and notes that Soo-ah sleeps late and the children eat later. The scene then shifts to a Bureau for Abnormal Phenomena Countermeasures conference room, where officials brief on a surge of Anomalous Phenomena described as the Wild Hunt, a European faerie-and-monster hunting season equivalent to the Eastern Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Shin Do-ryong, the Bureau director, listens and gives calm instructions. Later, in the director's office, Shin Si-on privately defends Kim Yo-han, arguing the university murders were Grimoire accidents rather than premeditated killings, and urging that Yo-han's help be enlisted against Yoannis and the current Wild Hunt. Shin Se-hee enters, examines Yo-han's photograph, and is swept into a series of flashbacks covering Do-ryong's childhood—from being carried as a baby to scolded as a teenager—before returning to the present and asking what he said.

Chapter 94
In the Director's office, Shin Se-hee playfully pinches Shin Do-ryong's cheeks before asking to review Yo-han's file. He grants permission with a warning not to provoke the dangerous wizard. She leaves and instructs a Shin Clan aide to observe Yo-han carefully without harming him. Team Leader Park then reports his surveillance findings, noting Yo-han's movements around the church. Shin Do-ryong reveals he considers Yo-han a potential negotiating partner rather than an enemy, despite his criminal wizard status. Meanwhile, at the Team 3 office, Si-on and Lee Hye-eun review the troubling clown anomaly case involving abducted children. The scene shifts to the church where Ji-ye, an orphan, longs to visit an amusement park before being abducted by the clown. Yo-han, alerted by a panicked gnome, leaves to rescue her and contacts Si-on to coordinate.

Chapter 95
Chapter 95 opens with Si-on prioritizing the rescue of a child caught in a Clown Anomaly over questioning Yo-han. After reviewing the anomaly's photo and confirming that opening the invitation pulls victims into a subspace amusement park, Yo-han prepares a Pentacle of the Sun magic circle with the help of his Gnomes, who cheerfully draw the circle and act as a cheering squad. The scene shifts to Ji-ye running through a glittering but grotesque nightmare amusement park filled with eyeball decorations and body parts, pursued by the Clown Anomaly. She collapses in fear, calling for Ellie. Meanwhile, Yo-han arrives via the invitation, chained to a train seat, and calmly dispatches the Clown Anomaly with Grizzly's help, revealing his growing mastery over mana. The chapter concludes with Yo-han and Ji-ye returning to the alley, where Si-on confirms the girl is unconscious but otherwise fine.

Chapter 96
After exiting the Anomaly World, Si-on carries the unconscious Ji-ye into a nearby cafe. Yo-han awkwardly admits he has no money and asks Si-on to cover the coffee; she laughs and insists on treating him. They discuss his legal status—Si-on reveals the Bureau has not yet branded him a Criminal Wizard and proposes a civilian-collaborator arrangement, which Yo-han accepts on the condition of payment. Their conversation is interrupted by Ellie's arrival; Si-on politely ends the discussion and introduces herself to Ellie. Later, back at the Cathedral guest room, Ji-ye sleep-talks while Ellie soothes her. Finally, Namgung Soo-ah arrives with a set-up laptop and teases Yo-han about his new selfie wallpaper, ending the chapter on a light note.

Chapter 97
Soo-ah playfully teases Yo-han about his scratched phone and offers to buy him a new one, which he curtly declines. Yo-han feeds his familiar Grizzly the stew meat he'd swiped from the orphanage fridge, promising to restock after reissuing his bank card. Grizzly's excited cries signal his interest in the new temporary room, and he apparently misses the fridge. Yo-han summons Gnomes, who report they've gathered gold coins; one shyly offers him an emergency snack gold coin as a secret gift, and two more follow with the same offer, totaling three coins. Meanwhile, on a cathedral rooftop, unnamed mercenaries surveil the walled compound, debating whether to kidnap Namgung Soo-ah as bait. Their surveillance is shattered when a black-clad swordsman bisects one man, followed by an ambush from Namgung Soo's Sword Division. Lee Mun-ryong arrives, spear in hand, and exchanges words with the Sword Division leader before the mercenaries retreat. The scene shifts to a dream where Baopuzi the grimoire meets Yo-han, reunited with friend Shanhaijing, and is accosted by senior grimoires. The nightmare escalates with the appearance of the Lesser Key of Solomon and the kitchen-knife-wielding De Vermis Mysteriis, then Raziel strikes. Yo-han wakes drenched in cold sweat, resolves to return to Ghostbuster work to earn money, and prepares to face the escalating aberration chaos.

Chapter 98
Kim Yo-han logs into Mephisto Market to inquire about a custom magic support item from Mephi-chan. After agreeing on a price of three gold coins—pure gold fetched by a Gnome—he steps outside the Cathedral's barrier to meet the delivery courier, a crow familiar that collects the coin and flies off. Back inside, he encounters Shin Clan retainers in black suits who convey an elder's request to meet. Yo-han declines; they withdraw politely. He later asks Lee Mun-ryong about the Shin Clan and Shin Do-ryong before returning to the Cathedral living quarters. There, Namgung Soo-ah is watching over the orphaned children. Yo-han offers to make pancakes, impressing Soo-ah and the kids, including a five-year-old girl who asks if he has a home. He answers quietly and continues cooking.

Chapter 99
The chapter opens with Kim Yo-han cooking pancakes for the cathedral orphans. Namgung Soo-ah scolds the children for calling Yo-han 'mister,' noting their small age gap, and the children echo her. Ellie returns with Ji-ye and thanks Yo-han for cooking. The scene then shifts to Yo-han's training routine: Lee Mun-ryong teaches him close-quarters combat basics while he practices incantation pronunciation with Soo-ah watching. Later, Ellie, Soo-ah, and Yo-han drive to scout a mountain lodge for the orphanage's second camp trip. The narrative pivots to a flashback of the lodge's dark history—a blood-stained man cowers beside a corpse as an envelope announcing a murder-mystery roleplay game rests on the table. The chapter closes with the lodge door opening and Kim Yo-han himself stepping inside, calmly surveying the scene.

Chapter 100
The party arrives at a remote mountain lodge after parking halfway up and carrying their bags. Soo-ah grumbles about the distant parking lot while Ellie admires the spacious, clean interior. Guests greet each other on the first floor: a bright-faced college-age man, a slender model-like woman, and others. After unpacking—Yo-han in room 208, Ellie and Soo-ah sharing 207—they discuss camp logistics, deciding to sleep downstairs together near the fireplace. At six o'clock, all eight guests gather as the lodge owner's condition requires. The bright-faced man, Kwon Do-yun, explains the Murder Mystery game. Each guest introduces themselves: Do-yun, Cha Do-won, Kim Cha-ryeo, Kim Dok-seo, and Kim Yong. The scenario reveals a serial killer among them, isolating snow has cut off all signal. Do-yun draws the First Victim role, drinks poisoned wine, and collapses dead. Panic erupts as screams fill the lodge, and the bizarre incident at the snow-buried mountain lodge begins.

In a snowbound mountain lodge, Kim Dok-seo and the others discover the doors and windows are sealed by a barrier. Kim Yo-han steps forward as a self-proclaimed Ghostbuster to calm the group, explaining they are trapped inside an Anomalous Phenomenon tied to a murder case.

Meanwhile, Yo-han summons Gnomes to test the lodge's defenses, but the barrier repels them. The group remains trapped, forcing them to rely on solving the anomaly rather than escaping through conventional means.

Chapter 103
In the Mountain Lodge Anomaly's warped basement, Yo-han dispatches Kim Cha-ryeo with Grizzly and ascends toward Ellie and Soo-ah. The lodge attacks with flying objects targeting Ellie as the designated Second Victim; Soo-ah captures a tablecloth and wine to prepare a Barrier. Kim Dok-seo grabs wine, trips, and is caught by Kim Yong, leading to a comedic exchange about 'hundred-and-twenty won' versus 'my precious reader,' followed by her confession that she never actually read his novel. Soo-ah begins the incantation while kitchen blades rain down; Yo-han arrives through the back door to complete the spell, creating a protective Barrier. He then steps outside alone to draw the Anomaly's attention, enduring four to five hours of relentless attacks. Using a Mephisto Market artifact glove and the Second Pentacle of Saturn, he defeats the lodge at sunrise, leaving only floor behind as the others emerge in disbelief.

Chapter 104
On a hotel rooftop at dawn, Elsea sleeps beside The Book of the Angel Raziel, which floats in midair. Raziel, having deliberately chosen not to chase Yo-han, casts the Second Pentacle of Saturn from the Lesser Key of Solomon and sighs at the radiant light. A seductive voice interrupts: Gremory, a great demon disguised as a red-haired girl in a cosplay school uniform, joins the conversation. She and Raziel exchange barbed remarks about Yo-han—Gremory calling him a self-loving hedgehog, Raziel denying any intention to corrupt him. The sunrise silhouettes Gremory before she vanishes in a flock of white doves. Raziel resolves to keep an eye on the demon's plans. Meanwhile, Yo-han reflects on his new Magic Circle glove from Mephisto Market, crafted by the wizard 'Dress,' and notes that contracting with the Gnome granted him an earth attribute, reducing casting strain. Ellie and Soo-ah arrive to check on him; they report to the Special Operations Division before departing. In the car, Ellie apologizes for being dragged into the anomaly, and Yo-han reassures her. The chapter closes with the group driving home as the traffic light changes.

Chapter 105
The chapter opens with Yoannis's backstory: as a child he witnessed a wizard murder his parents, who had skimmed a relic. A golden-haired vampire—Yoannis himself—appeared and slaughtered the organization members, sparing the black-haired pretty boy Mia, whom he took in. In the present, Yoannis and Mia are in his dark workshop; Mia reports that Kim Cha-ryeo, one of Chairman Kim's surviving children, has gone rogue against Kim Yo-han. Yoannis dismisses intervention. Later, Soo-ah wanders into Yoannis's room, sees him browsing the Mephisto Market forum, and cheerfully revives his ignored thread by reposting it with a ridiculous title, drawing a flood of replies from various anonymous users including Two-HeadedSnake, FreeTheGrandMaster, and WheelchairMaster, while Mephi-chan posts an automated response. The chapter closes with Soo-ah's triumphant grin and Yoannis's quiet thanks.

Chapter 106
Yo-han reviews Mephisto Market comments baited under Yoannis's 'ILovePrettyBoys' username. Commenters including Two-HeadedSnake, WheelchairMaster, Dress, AlchemistofGunpowder, TyrantKaiser and FreeTheGrandMaster debate which Grand Wizards are strongest; Hermes Trismegistus and the Miskatonic University chairman are named most often. Yo-han reflects on the difference between wizards and Grand Wizards. A winter gust rattles his window and De Vermis Mysteriis flips to a page about Hastur, the King in Yellow, warning that someone has briefly summoned a Great Old One onto Earth. The scene shifts to a private commission play where aspiring actor Kim Se-geon and other hired actors prepare. Robert, an elderly foreigner, begins the ritual. The play's second act possesses the actors; Robert's head explodes as the King in Yellow mannequin towers over the stage. Se-geon remains conscious and kneels. Hastur addresses him, commanding him to kill Cthulhu worshippers, and Se-geon passes out as the grimoire The King in Yellow claims its first contract.

Chapter 107
Yo-han reads about Cthulhu mythos lore, describing the distinction between Outer Gods and Great Old Ones, and the bitter rivalry between Cthulhu and Hastur. The narration recounts how their cosmic battle produced a child, the tentacled tree monster Lloigor, causing the two brothers to avoid each other. Hastur's deals with humans against Cthulhu worshippers are noted. Back in the present, Yo-han closes his copy of De Vermis Mysteriis and decides to investigate a recent summoning energy. His Gnomes present him with a Hand of Glory found at the shopping mall brawl, which he tests on himself, becoming invisible. He then tests it on Ellie, who cannot see him but detects his presence by breathing and footsteps. Satisfied with the spell's results, he warns Ellie to stay indoors tonight, then calls Lee Mun-ryong to accompany him on a night stroll.

Chapter 108
Kim Se-geon awakens on a theater stage with a splitting headache, discovering a headless corpse—Robert's body—and the yellow-covered King in Yellow grimoire in his hand. Terrified, he flees the auditorium and encounters two armed mercenaries who mistake him for a civilian. They threaten him at gunpoint, but the grimoire unleashes a wind slash that splits both men in half. Overwhelmed by guilt and revulsion, Se-geon vomits as new mercenaries arrive and point their weapons at him. He desperately shouts at them to stay back. Meanwhile, in a separate timeline thread, Kim Yo-han and Lee Mun-ryong track mana signatures through dark alleys, discussing footwork techniques and Yo-han's missing mother. Their conversation is interrupted by an ambush from mercenaries, including a transforming werewolf, which Yo-han defeats with a combined Breathing Technique and earth-elemental strike he names 'Gravity.'

Chapter 109
Kim Yo-han and Lee Mun-ryong observe a young wizard with the yellow-covered Grimoire The King in Yellow fighting mercenaries outside a theater. The wizard, Kim Se-geon, fumbles but wields wind magic until a Gnome slashes his ankle, stopping his escape. Yo-han approaches calmly, treats the ankle with a spell, and introduces himself. Se-geon reveals his name and his goal: to find his mother, Han Se-yeong. In a parallel scene at a vampire hideout, Han Se-yeong confronts Yoannis, claiming her dead husband's inheritance—a Grimoire. Yoannis offers her vampire blood or death; she drinks and transforms, becoming a vampire. Later, in a dormitory cafeteria, Se-geon's half-sister Kim Seol-a is shown as a vegetarian, haunted by childhood cannibalistic feasts. Se-geon, now resolved, asks Yo-han to teach him how to survive in the magical world, and Yo-han accepts under the blue moon.

In the eastern United States at Smith's sprawling residence, Emily has been spacing out and sighing more often. The housekeeper So-ra checks on her, and Emily dismisses it as tiredness. After So-ra leaves, Emily blushes while looking at a sketch of Yo-han, tormented by fetishistic fantasies awakened after the Boogeyman incident. The next day, Emily notices a reproduction of the Mona Lisa in the hallway seems to have grown larger. That night, Smith screams and collapses; the hallway paintings are torn to shreds. Police find no forced entry and conclude Smith tore them himself in artistic hysteria. Alone, Emily discovers the Mona Lisa is actually a monster that killed the French painter and shredded his works. Remembering Yo-han, she calls him on Smith's phone, and he answers, asking her what's wrong.

Chapter 113
Flustered Emily, hiding alone in her family home, reaches out to Yo-han as a grotesque Mona Lisa Anomaly ransacks the house. Yo-han, speaking calmly from Korea over the phone, guides her through describing the monster and confirms it is a painting-based Anomaly that does not cause dizziness. He instructs her to text the police while listening, then switches to a video call so he can show her his magic in action. On his end, tiny Gnomes draw a Magic Circle in a Korean garden; Emily, momentarily forgetting her terror, is amused by the real Gnomes. He casts the Fifth Pentacle of the Moon, and Emily, running to a moonlit rooftop, holds up her phone screen so the moonlight pierces the pursuing monster. The Anomaly shrieks and bursts apart under the blue moonlight. Afterward, Emily tearfully thanks Yo-han and playfully asks for more praise, revealing she is eighteen. Yo-han gently reassures her, and they chat until the police arrive, closing another case.

After the Fake Mona Lisa Anomaly is resolved, police and CRT arrive at Smith's house. Emily, wrapped in a blanket, deflects questions about Yo-han's magic and later listens to a recording of his voice before falling asleep, daydreaming about him. The scene shifts to a sparsely populated café where Yo-han, Lee Mun-ryong, and Kim Se-geon sit together watching a VTuber livestream. Lee Mun-ryong mockingly asks what the 'cyber-wench' does, while Se-geon defends the streamer Rikoriko and explains donation culture. The stream ends, and the group heads to meet their new client. At the office, they meet Rikoriko's manager and the actual client—a man behind the VTuber persona. Yo-han reassures him, hands over his business card, and prepares to take the case.

Chapter 115
A VTuber client named Jeong Si-u, who streams as the cheerful avatar Rikoriko, hires Kim Yo-han after a black shadow snake Anomaly appears on his torso. His manager Seo Ye-eun is protective and wary of sharing personal details. Yo-han identifies the creature as a Sangsa Snake, a Korean yokai born from lovesickness, and determines that Catholic prayer will dispel it. He begins chanting the psalm while the snake convulses and tightens around Jeong Si-u, who screams in agony. Seo Ye-eun pleads for Yo-han to stop, but he continues until the snake bursts free and flees down the hallway. Yo-han had deliberately leaked Grizzly's killing intent to drive the Anomaly outside. In the hallway, Se-geon uses the King in Yellow grimoire to summon wind Elementals that shred the snake into scattered fragments. Lee Mun-ryong, watching from the corridor, comments on the result with his characteristic bluntness. The case concludes with the Anomaly destroyed and Jeong Si-u's tattoo gone.

Chapter 116
The chapter opens with Yo-han reflecting on his contract with the sylphs after defeating a Shadow Serpent. Se-geon asks about the terms, explaining that the wind elementals treat him as an equal friend rather than a commanding master. The sylphs then fly over to Yo-han, teasingly insulting his appearance and comparing him to a cruel wizard, which prompts a defensive reaction from the nearby gnomes who defend Yo-han's honor. After the sylphs withdraw, Seo Ye-eun, Rikoriko's manager, cautiously confirms the job is resolved. At dinner, Se-geon reveals he overheard Rikoriko's stream and expresses genuine happiness that the VTuber's broadcasts helped him. The scene shifts to the next morning at Ellie's Church, where Min-hee asks about Christmas, prompting Yo-han's bittersweet childhood memories. The chapter closes with a shocking news report of a copycat massacre in the university district, shifting Yo-han's mood from peaceful breakfast to grim determination.

Chapter 117
Yo-han turns off the TV, muttering that the program is not great for kids to watch, then finishes his meal and heads to his room. His phone buzzes with a call from Shin Si-on of the Special Operations Division. He answers, and Si-on asks him point-blank whether he committed the murders; Yo-han denies it. Si-on then suggests the possibility that his familiar, the Vampire Grizzly, may have sneaked out and eaten someone. Yo-han asks Grizzly, who shakes his head and makes denying sounds, so Yo-han tells Si-on the answer is no. Si-on decides to come get him in person, instructing him to grab only essential equipment and leave the Cathedral quickly. After the call, Yo-han considers the possibility of a trap but trusts Si-on's judgment. He steps outside, where a black sedan drifts to a stop. Si-on, driving, tells him to get in and explain the details on the way. Inside the car, she reveals that Bureau upper ranks were debating placing him under temporary custody, so she acted first and reports later. Yo-han thanks her, and she blushes. They head toward the crime scene of the Invisible Murder Case. Meanwhile, in a flashback, Shin Se-hee is shown breaking up with a young Shin Do-ryong by paying him, while schoolgirls taunt Do-ryong about his aunt's interference.

Shin Do-ryong calls the preoccupied Shin Se-hee, who is lost in thought about whether Yo-han is his son. He playfully startles her, pulls her into an embrace, and kisses her; she flusters but yields, and they share a tender moment. The scene then shifts to the Invisible Murder Case, where Yo-han and Si-on arrive at the crime scene. Si-on hands over autopsy documents revealing an eighteen-year-old male victim torn apart by invisible claw marks and bite wounds, suggesting a two-to-three-meter monster. Yo-han deduces the killer tortured the victim for pleasure or out of personal revenge rather than for efficiency. The Lesser Key of Solomon reacts to lingering sulfurous mana and reveals the murderer's contract with Glasya-Labolas, the twenty-fifth demon of Solomon. Meanwhile, a hooded middle-school girl munched a hamburger while the invisible demon caressed her shoulder. The demon's mocking voice urges her onward, and she promises she has a long way to go. In a deserted alley, the invisibility and transformation fall away, revealing the old Maltese dog Poppy possessed by the demon. The girl hugs Poppy, then walks away with a cold look in her eyes.

Chapter 119
In the Director's Office, Team Leader Park reports to Shin Do-ryong that Shin Si-on has taken Yo-han to her Officetel to personally monitor him as his handler. Do-ryong reacts with surprising calm, explaining that he trusts Si-on's judgment and won't meddle in his adult daughter's love life; Park probes whether he'd approve any future marriage. The scene shifts to Si-on's clean Officetel, where she serves Yo-han coffee and discusses the invisible-murder case. They reason that a single civilian death is too small a scale for a plot designed to turn the Bureau against each other, suggesting personal revenge or thrill-killing instead. Yo-han checks Mephisto Market under Yoannis's ILovePrettyBoys account but finds only pointless perverted posts. Si-on's phone buzzes with news of a suspicious person on CCTV, and she hands Yo-han a Desert Eagle pistol with a shoulder holster, preparing him to head out.
