This illustration encapsulates 'Past Life,' the final episode of Part 1.
It's the episode I've most wanted to write since I started this novel.
Please look forward to it.

Her subdued white hair and snow-white skin were striking.
At the same time, her cold, blue eyes met mine.
It was a face I could never mistake.
A woman whose thoughts were impossible to read.
Why did she chase the moon so?
The woman who swung her sword day after day, as if desperate to cut something down, was there.
The very woman who had walked to her death for me without a moment's hesitation.
Wearing the same expressionless face as back then, she looked at me and asked.
“Who... are you...?”
Her voice was tinged with a subtle killing intent.
She was, without a doubt, The Demon Sword I remembered.
Past Life Illustration Collection (Snow Phoenix & Poison Queen Added)
I didn't think much of it when I commissioned the art.
But unlike this lacking author, the artist put a great deal of thought into them, even considering the composition.
My deepest thanks to the artist, Bubarak, for these wonderful illustrations.
The Demonic Sword Queen, Namgung Bi-ah.
The Black Flame Demon Emperor, Gu Yangcheon.
The Celestial Sword, Wi Seol-Ah.
The Snow Phoenix, Moyong Hi-ah.
The Poison Queen, Tang Soyeol.
(To add a bit more about the Poison Queen: Tang Soyeol originally had short hair, but after noticing that many people around Gu Yangcheon had long, straight hair, she wondered if that was his type and decided to grow it out.)
It seems she'll probably grow it out in this life, too.
The illustration for the Poison Queen is one the artist drew as fan art.
They took time out of their busy schedule to draw this for us.
So please, I hope you'll enjoy it.
Thank you. ( _ _ )
Flaming Fist.
This is Gu Ryoon, the Flaming Fist.
I once mentioned during an illustration poll that I would pick Gu Ryoon if the opportunity arose.
I never imagined I would get to see him in the form of fan art.
To Artist Beobarak, who always gifts me wonderful art, as if you somehow know whenever I'm going through a hard time.
Thank you.
With the artist's permission, I've also been able to use it as a cover image.
Thank you, as always.

Gu Cheolun. (Spoiler Warning)
I was worried about how they would capture his intense impression.
It seems my worries were for nothing.
The artist said it signifies that while his exterior is rough, he holds something different within his heart.
Also, this is the first time we've seen anything related to Yangcheon's mother.
Please enjoy it. My deepest thanks once again to Beobarak for their hard work.
