### Summary
The raid reuniting Sung Jinwoo with the survivors of the catastrophic double dungeon incident has devolved into the anticipated bloodbath, confirming the mission was a deadly trap. The assassin Tae-Shik Kang makes his move, claiming his first victim: Sang-Shik Kim, one of the hunters who had previously abandoned Jinwoo to die. Kim’s death is made particularly tragic as it occurs just after he expressed sincere remorse for his past cowardice, with poignant flashbacks to his family amplifying the emotional weight of his demise. This has sparked considerable debate among readers, many of whom view Kim’s original betrayal not as an act of pure evil, but as a deeply human and understandable choice to prioritize his family’s well-being in a moment of terror. Having survived supernatural horrors only to be murdered by a fellow human, Kim’s fate is seen as a cruel irony. With one survivor dead after a final apology, the immediate danger now shifts to the rest of the party, particularly the swordsman Chi-Yul Song. Witnessing this treachery, a coldly furious Jinwoo is now poised to confront the killer, ready to unleash his own ruthless justice and protect those who remain.
