Ep. 9: Mira and Mori fight for survival while facing fake opponents and deadly traps.
Daewi’s suspension forces Mira and Mori to win their matches to avoid automatic defeat, but Mori is missing. Mira battles Lee Marin, who wields her stolen bokken transformed into the sword Fengxian. After retrieving the blade, Mira finds it rejects her as Marin claims true ownership. Meanwhile, Mori discovers a fake Taejin that explodes, leading him to bomber Fei Long, who uses Charyeok Doppleganger clones to hunt fighters for the Key. Marin stabs Mira, deeming her too weak to wield the power to kill God. Overwhelmed by clones, Mori employs an acupuncture technique to ignore pain. Mira experiences divine inspiration, gaining true ownership of the Fengxian sword and the Charyeok Lu Bu. Marin’s attempt with his Charyeok Kraken fails. Mori appears, defeating a NOX imposter, with flashbacks implying he killed Long to avenge the real Marin. Bongchim acknowledges Mori’s growth from Taejin’s Tiger Cub into a true tiger.
