### Summary
Following the brutal massacre at Sung Jin-Ah's high school, where Jinwoo's role as a merciless family protector was chillingly solidified, the focus shifts to his shadow soldiers managing the aftermath. The chapter introduces a significant development as the dungeon's undead forces, led by an Arch Lich, recognize Jinwoo's overwhelming aura as that of their true "King," the Shadow Monarch, and attempt to communicate with him. However, the interaction is intercepted by Jinwoo's fiercely loyal ant shadow, Beru. In a scene overwhelmingly celebrated by readers for its comedic relief and characterization, Beru smugly taunts the undead, bragging that he was personally "chosen" by the King while they were not. This display of childish pride, jealousy, and fanboy-like loyalty has cemented Beru as a fan favorite, with readers finding his cocky personality a hilarious contrast to the recent grim events. The moment not only showcases the developing personalities within the shadow army but also deepens the mystery of Jinwoo's new status, blurring the lines between hunter and monster as his own subjects now vie for his favor and gatekeep access to their monarch.
