### Summary
The serious military conflict escalates dramatically, solidifying the human King Axel as a purely despicable antagonist. Any remaining reader frustration over his power has been completely eclipsed by intense hatred following his actions in the current chapter. The central, line-crossing event is the death of the character Sepheron, an act that has galvanized reader sentiment against Axel. Based on the commentary, Sepheron's death is perceived as a profound tragedy, with readers lamenting that the character simply wanted to live peacefully. This event has successfully eliminated any semblance of sympathy for the king, cementing him as a villain who readers desperately want to see defeated. Amidst the tragedy, the heroic stature of the secondary character Cerik, who became the "MVP" in the previous chapter, is reinforced as he continues to stand in opposition to the now-loathed king.
