### Summary
The narrative inside the red gate has split into two starkly different tales of survival. While Sung Jinwoo’s group thrives, feasting on the meat of ice bears he effortlessly slays, the arrogant A-rank hunter Kim Chul and his followers face a grim fate. Their pride, which led them to scorn Jinwoo's provisions, has resulted in starvation and imminent defeat. They are now being systematically hunted by a new, formidable enemy: a legion of intelligent ice elves, whose leader readers find both charismatic and attractive. This development has triggered a wave of schadenfreude among readers, who see Kim Chul's downfall as deserved karma. The chapter also serves as a grand showcase for Jinwoo's necromancer abilities, with his shadow knight Igris earning significant "thirsty" adoration, rivaling even the "hot" new ice elf antagonists, frequently compared to "Game of Thrones" White Walkers. The commentary is filled with dramatic irony from re-readers, who eagerly anticipate both the ice elf leader and the defeated Kim Chul being resurrected by Jinwoo's "Arise" command, destined to become powerful new soldiers in his shadow army.
