All my excitement died in the cold snow after reading the last panel…

But I think this is the best chapter in this manhwa! perfect payoff, amazing philosophy, it doesn't try to shove a belief down your throat, but instead shows two opposing sides getting into a conversation, and an agreement at the end.

Not to forget the art is great as well, that black and white panel into the shattered glass reflecting bright nature is fucking gorgeous!

THAT LAST BIT WAS UNCALLED FOR!!

Don't usually get that invested in a Heavenly Demon, but, damn.

Cut content from the ending of Heavenly Demon vs Bae Huryeong that I thought it should be mentioned (this was the final strike from Bae Huryeonf) :

But when it comes to solitude, I know it better than you.

Bae Hu-ryeong gripped the hilt of his sword.

-How long did you last by yourself in this world? Three years? Two? No. You haven’t lasted a single day. After all, that fellow called the Murim Lord was by your side. When the Murim Lord dies, you lose your mind.

The tip of his sword moved.

-I’m sorry, but.

Then.

-I’ve endured 130 years by myself.

Martial arts.

Void Form.

First sword.

Winter, spring, summer, autumn,

Autumn, winter, spring, summer,

Summer, autumn, winter, spring,

Spring, summer, autumn, winter,

Plum blossoms and peonies and roses and lilies,

Lilies and plums and peonies and roses,

The petal, to petals, petal, because they were petals,

Red, was red, became red, red,

Winter was,

Because it became red,

Again the winter,

The winter,

Her breath,

“——.”

I regained my breath.

“—-Aah!!”

I couldn’t see.

I couldn’t hear.

I couldn’t understand the last attack at all.

“Haaa, huff, euahh…! Haa, aa….”

This wotah is so cqualitthy
