### Summary
Appearing as a "grim reaper" following the duel of Dam Soo-Cheon and the death of Hye-Ryung Seo, Jin Mu-Won has unleashed his fury upon the "Demon Troop." His actions have been swift and brutal, yet have raised questions about his methods. While systematically eliminating the troop's soldiers, a move some observers deem excessive, he has controversially spared an individual named Shinwoo, opting to leave him alive in humiliation. This decision has sparked debate, with some questioning why he was not killed while others relish his suffering. This contrasts with the death of another warrior, which some readers felt was undeserved. As the elite operative Chung-In looks on, this violent confrontation solidifies Mu-Won's fearsome reputation as the Northern Blade. However, his increasingly ruthless approach is causing concern, as his personal quest for justice against the Heavenly Alliance and Silent Night appears to be evolving into a bloody rampage, making observers wonder if the hero will lose himself to vengeance.
