### Summary
The joint raid on Jeju Island has devolved into a catastrophic slaughter. Following the instantaneous annihilation of Japan's strongest hunter, Goto Ryuji, and his team by the Ant King, Beru, the remaining Korean S-Rank hunters are locked in a desperate battle for survival. As the massacre of the Japanese hunters continues, claiming victims like Kei and Izawa, White Tiger Guild Master Baek Yoon-Ho is forced to unleash his full beast transformation. Despite his personal shame over what he deems a "hideous" form, he reveals a powerful, lion-like appearance. With their sole healer, Min Byung-Gu, already dead, the remaining Korean fighters, including Cha Hae-In and Choi Jong-In, face imminent death. Meanwhile, Sung Jinwoo's absence has become a major point of contention. While many readers defend his decision to remain with his newly awakened mother, others blame him for the tragedy unfolding, arguing his power could have prevented the losses. The elite hunters are being systematically dismantled by an unforeseen level of power, leaving their survival entirely dependent on the absent Shadow Monarch's potential intervention.
