### Summary
The joint raid on Jeju Island has devolved into a catastrophic slaughter at the hands of the Ant King, a terrifyingly powerful and intelligent humanoid insect monster. Having already annihilated Japan's strongest hunter, Goto Ryuji, and killed the Korean team's sole S-Rank healer, Min Byung-Gu, the Ant King—whom many readers refer to by his future name, Beru—is systematically dismantling the remaining elite hunters. The antagonist's overwhelming power and chilling design have drawn numerous comparisons to Meruem from \*Hunter x Hunter\*, generating intense anxiety and suspense among the readership. While the Korean S-Ranks, including Baek Yoon-Ho, Cha Hae-In, and Choi Jong-In, fight a desperate and seemingly hopeless battle, the central tension revolves around the protagonist's absence. Sung Jinwoo, who recently succeeded in awakening his mother from her coma, is not on the battlefield. Readers are flooding the comments with desperate pleas for Jinwoo to intervene and save his compatriots. While some fans spoil the Ant King's eventual fate as a shadow soldier, the immediate narrative focuses on the dire situation, leaving everyone to wonder if the Shadow Monarch will arrive in time to prevent a complete catastrophe.
