In this chapter, the young swordsman continues his story of how he has been unable to subdue the "bastards" who have thrown the "muni" into chaos. He says that he is not qualified for his position as a murim, because he has not been able to control them. He tells the story of the sorrow sword, saying that he has heard about its unusual personality. He asks the man why he does not just attack him from behind, and the man replies that he would have done so if he were him. The man says that it is nice to talk with him, but he has little time. He then turns the conversation to three seconds, when he realizes that the man is from the "lowly paradise group" and that he compares him to the eight defenders of the "mercy palace." The man then says that the moon sword is the strongest of the five swords, and that it senses the owner of the sword and reacts on his own. The swordsman says that people like him are the people he despise the most, because they are the ones he despises the most.
