### Summary
The latest chapter has plunged the narrative into a state of profound despair, eliciting overwhelmingly pained and frustrated reactions from readers. The central conflict stems from Kun's devastation following Reniae's departure with her tormentor, Gizzida. To protect Kun from a threatened massacre, Reniae severed their bond with a cruel, fabricated lie, calling him a "beast" and swearing on the goddess Inanna's name that she was leaving for her own freedom. This has left the audience in an uproar, with many expressing intense frustration that Kun has seemingly forgotten Reniae's prior warning that any oath sworn on Inanna is false. Readers perceive Reniae's self-sacrificial act as a catastrophic regression into a helpless victim, criticizing her failure to communicate the critical threat that Gizzida's magic (Nirgak) now works in the North. This lack of communication is seen as a "cliche" and illogical choice that renders her sacrifice useless. The audience's emotional exhaustion is palpable, with many expressing a visceral hatred for the manipulative Gizzida, deep sympathy for the suffering of Kun and a secondary character, Lugal, and a pervasive fear for Reniae's safety in the hands of her enraged captor.
