Synopsis

Yuria attempts a complex summoning ritual for a high-ranking water spirit, but the presence of a spreading infection in the forest disrupts the process causing a failure. Following the failed summoning, an elder, Kondae, takes control, claiming the village head is comatose and blaming a half-human child for the forest's infection. The elder uses the situation to assert his authority, threatening anyone who opposes him and declaring he will return the citizens to the divine tree.
