### Summary
The destructive clash between Sung Jinwoo and National Level Hunter Thomas Andre reaches its decisive conclusion. Provoked into battle to save his friend Yoo Jin-Ho, Jinwoo overwhelmingly defeats Thomas, who is forced to concede defeat to save his own life. Despite his murderous intent, Jinwoo displays remarkable self-control, merely incapacitating the Scavenger Guild members rather than slaughtering them, a sign of maturity noted by observers. The most shocking development, however, is the fate of the instigator, Hwang Dong-Soo. After killing him, Jinwoo extracts his shadow, resurrecting him as an eternal servant named "Greed." This act is seen as a fitting and ironic punishment, fulfilling a prophetic warning once given to Hwang by Jinwoo's own father: "You'll never rest in peace, even in death." Fans celebrate this moment of poetic justice, alongside Jinwoo's immense power and physical transformation from the weak hunter he once was. By humbling one of the world's strongest hunters and claiming a human's soul as a permanent shadow, Jinwoo has not only cemented his place on the world stage but has also taken a definitive step further into his identity as the Shadow Monarch, blurring the line between his past humanity and his growing, god-like power.
