### Summary
As Sung Jinwoo’s quest culminates in a confrontation with the Demon King, Baran, reader focus has unexpectedly fixated not on the king himself, but on his powerful white wyvern. The community is largely underwhelmed by Baran's design, instead expressing an overwhelming desire for Jinwoo to defeat him and claim the dragon as a new, formidable shadow soldier. Concurrently, discussions are rife with suspicion and foreshadowing regarding the upcoming Jeju Island raid. Citing hints from rereaders, fans anticipate a nefarious plot by the Japanese hunters to betray their Korean counterparts, with their leader, Ryuji Goto, at the center of the conspiracy. This has sparked a new wave of visual comparisons, with many noting Goto's resemblance to Mr. Aizawa, continuing a trend of likening characters to \*My Hero Academia\* heroes. While these tense plot points build, the comedic fallout from Jinwoo unintentionally leading on the demon noble Esil with his poor choice of words continues to be a source of amusement for the readership.
