Key Developments in Episode 9
Crafting the Elixir of Life
After finally defeating Demon King Baran, Sung Jinwoo can now make the Elixir of Life which he’s been chasing all along.

Potential New Shadow Extraction
Also another interesting point in episode 9 is that Sung Jinwoo can extract a new shadow. Up till now Jinwoo can’t extract shadows from demons but with Baran defeated, he can extract Baran’s dragon shadow. This could mean a new powerful ally to Jinwoo’s army of shadows as he prepares for the tough times ahead. New shadow extraction adds more excitement to the episode as fans will be curious to see how this new addition will affect Jinwoo.
A Heartfelt Reunion with His Mother

This is a joint raid between Korea and Japan, with Goto Ryuji representing Japan’s Hunter Association.
