### Summary
The joint raid on Jeju Island has escalated into a full-blown catastrophe, with the Korean S-Rank hunters facing annihilation at the hands of the monstrous Ant King. The readership is reeling from the swift, brutal deaths of Japan's strongest hunter, Goto Ryuji, and Korea's only S-Rank healer, Min Byung-Gu. While Goto's demise is largely seen as deserved comeuppance for his arrogance and a revealed Japanese plot to eliminate their Korean rivals, the loss of Min Byung-Gu—a beloved character who had retired to become a teacher—has sparked widespread grief and anger. This tragedy has fueled intense reader frustration directed at the absent protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, who was spending time with his recently awakened mother. Many blame his delay for the devastating losses, especially upon realizing he was monitoring the situation via a hidden shadow soldier. However, a vocal minority defends his choice to prioritize family, arguing he couldn't have foreseen the raid's disastrous turn. The chapter culminates in a moment of pure catharsis as Jinwoo finally makes his dramatic entrance, using his "Exchange" skill to teleport onto the battlefield. The overwhelming reaction is one of explosive excitement and relief, as all hope now rests on the Shadow Monarch to confront the Ant King and salvage the hopeless situation.
