"How many more will come?" asked Minseong in between his heavy breaths.
Minsook, Kichul and the wolf Minjoon who already changed back to his human form (and fighting cooly with his sword) at first killed all of the fairies in the room, but the fairies who appear from the mirror are a lot too. Kichul and Minseong finally wait together in front of the mirror but some dodge the attack and end up entering the room, being chased and killed by Minsook and Minjoon. But they use a lot of energy, even Minsook's magic seems a bit slow and weak.
"And how long can these humans stay alive?" Minsook looked around him, to the humans whose energy was being absorbed.
"All we can do is keep killing," said Kichul in a flat tone.
Minseong raises his ax with both hands and waits when a group of fairies appear again from the mirror... but even before he could swing his ax, those fairies fall to the ground.
"Wait... what's happening?" asked Minjoon, confused.
Minseong kneeling down and checking on one of the fairy, "it hasn't died yet. It's just... fainting?"
"Do you think something happens in the mirror world?" asked Minsook, still raising his staff towards the mirror, being cautious.
They wait and wait... but no more fairies appear.
"But what should we do with the strings?" asked Kichul, "everybody is getting pale!"
"Only Myungwoo hyeong can cut the line. But how to bring him here? He is far away in Gangneung..." said Minseong, suddenly feeling useless.
