00:00The chairman, furious, says, Try it if you can, Monarch of Frost. Hearing that, Szilid responds,
00:07So you're choosing to fight. How foolish. You, who are merely borrowing the body of a human,
00:13versus me, who has fully conquered one. He taunts further, Do you really think you can even land a
00:20single hit on me? Szilid prepares for battle, filling the room with ice and attacking. But
00:25the chairman smashes through the ice with a headbutt, then leaps towards Szilid and throws a
00:30punch. Szilid, however, is too fast. He dodges and counters, manifesting an ice spike that nearly
00:37pierces the chairman's head. Spotting an opening, the chairman throws a punch at Szilid's face,
00:43but Szilid quickly freezes his entire arm, stopping the strike. Using brute strength,
00:48the chairman shatters the ice and grabs for Szilid. The fight intensifies, but the chairman's
00:53body begins to falter. I need to finish this while I can still move, he thinks. And he launches a
00:59powerful punch towards Szilid to end the fight. Just before it connects, Szilid conjures an ice
01:04shield. The force of the punch sends him flying back, but the chairman drops to one knee, his body
01:10giving out. Is this my limit? He wonders. Seeing him in that state, Szilid remarks, It seems you've
01:19reached the limit of your medium. How pitiful. Fragment of luminosity. Before the chairman can
01:25respond, Szilid uses his speed to pierce his chest with an ice sword. Smirking, he asks,
01:31How long do you think it will take you to find a new medium? One year, too. Unfortunately for you,
01:37our forces have already gathered. This world will be destroyed before you return. Your mistake was
01:42trying to protect this world. Did you really think you could defeat me without your guards? But to his
01:48surprise, the chairman starts to smile. Do you really think I fought you for no reason, he says.
01:55Just like we didn't expect you to follow in our footsteps, there's something important you
01:59overlooked. Szilid, confused, asks what he's talking about. Gathering the last of his energy, the chairman
02:06throws a fireball. Szilid dodges, and it hits the wall behind him. You almost had me, Szilid scoffs.
02:13Is this what that important thing was? The chairman replies. This is exactly what I meant.
02:21Szilid turns toward the wall and sees a crack forming in the barrier. The barrier breaks.
02:26For this, you risked everything, Szilid says. I doubt anything would change, even if this were to work.
02:34The chairman gives a signal, and a shadow soldier that Jinwoo had left with him emerges,
02:38managing to reach the real world. Upon seeing the creature, Szilid scoffs and says,
02:45What can one single resident of the abyss do against us? Before he can finish his sentence,
02:51he notices something unsettling about the soldier and immediately realizes he needs to eliminate it.
02:58He rushes after the ant, but it has already escaped the dimension and reached earth.
03:02Szilid draws his weapon and prepares to strike. He manages to land a blow, but his expression changes
03:09as he sees someone block it. Jinwoo, who had stopped the attack with nothing but his bare hand.
03:16Jinwoo grabs Szilid by the neck and demands, Who the hell are you? Calling him an ice elf.
03:21Szilid, recognizing Jinwoo as the Monarch of Shadows, responds,
03:25The number of soldiers I can feel from your shadows. Why didn't you come into contact with us?
03:31Even after gathering such a significant force? You must be the one he told me about. The one I was
03:37missing. Szilid then begins to freeze Jinwoo's arm. Despite the chilling magic, Jinwoo calmly summons
03:44his dagger and effortlessly shatters the ice. Looking down at Jinwoo, Szilid says,
03:49Why don't we stop here for today? I'm not here to risk my life in a fight. Jinwoo asks what he
03:56means, and Szilid points toward the chairman's office. Didn't you come to save that human?
04:02Jinwoo suddenly remembers. The ant soldier he left behind was meant to protect the chairman.
04:08Horrified, Jinwoo sees the chairman's dire condition. Manifesting an ice sword, Szilid gives
04:14Jinwoo an ultimatum. Will you fight me or save him? He throws the ice weapon toward the
04:19chairman. Jinwoo attempts to stop it using his ruler's authority, but a notification appears.
04:25The opponent's magic is resisting the authority of the ruler. Panicking, Jinwoo throws a dagger to
04:31intercept the sword, but it dodges the blade midair and continues toward the chairman.
04:36Jinwoo has no choice. He chooses to save the chairman, managing to deflect the attack out of
04:41the building. When he turns back to Szilid, the monarch has already opened a portal and is trying to
04:47leave. Jinwoo activates dagger rush, summoning all his blades and launching them at Szilid.
04:52One of them manages to pierce his shoulder. Szilid growls. You are but a mere vessel,
04:59and you dare scratch me. As he retreats, he declares, I, monarch of Frost, will withdraw for now.
05:06Wait until next time. For now, think of the nearly dead human as a gift for your shadow army.
05:11After he disappears, Jinwoo turns toward the chairman, frustrated that he couldn't sense
05:17anything because of the barrier. Assessing the situation, he realizes the injuries are too
05:22severe for a regular healing potion. He summons Beru, who arrives instantly. Jinwoo begs him to
05:29heal the chairman at all costs. Beru tries, but after a moment, he tells Jinwoo his healing isn't
05:34working. As a last resort, Jinwoo takes out the holy water of life, hoping it might work. But the
05:41chairman stops him, saying, please don't. He thanks Jinwoo for coming to save him. Jinwoo urges him to
05:48hold on a bit longer so he can send him to a hospital, but the chairman calmly replies, it's no
05:54use. Nothing can be done after taking damage from those kinds of attacks. He expresses relief that
06:00Jinwoo was there to fight the monarchs, and gratitude that someone like Jinwoo possesses
06:05such power. He warns Jinwoo that one day, he'll have to choose a side, and pleads with him to
06:11remain on the side of humanity. The chairman, full of pride, says he always wanted to fight alongside
06:16young hunters like Jinwoo. He expresses no regrets, knowing he can leave the future in the hands of
06:22people like him. As his life fades, he says, the reason my heart didn't stop beating until now was to
06:29meet you. It was all to meet you. With a peaceful smile, he closes his eyes, whispering, what a relief.
06:37Thank you very much. Fast forward to next day, the news that Brazil's top hunter, Jonas, was found dead in
06:45a nearby river, and that the Korean Hunter Association's chairman, Go Gun-hee, was brutally murdered after
06:52being stabbed in the heart, is making headlines around the world. The entire globe is thrown into a state of
06:58panic. Mainstream media outlets everywhere are focused on the shocking deaths of these high-ranking hunters.
07:05The United States Hunter Bureau even issues a joint statement regarding the incident.
07:10Hunters protect humanity. But who will protect the hunters, they ask. The deaths of world-class
07:16hunters mark a threat of an entirely new magnitude. We then see Sung Jinwoo attending Chairman Go Gun-hee's
07:23funeral. Jinwoo turns to hunter Woo Jin-chul and asks if he's all right. Woo Jin-chul, devastated by the
07:29chairman's death, apologizes, saying, I haven't been myself lately. He then asks, was the monster that
07:35killed the chairman? Was it impossible to kill, even with your strength? Jinwoo replies that by the
07:42time he arrived, it was already too late. Woo Jin-chul says it still doesn't feel real. Just yesterday,
07:49he told me he wanted to hear about my stay in the U.S. He urged me to hurry back. And now he's gone.
07:55He thanks Jinwoo for trying to save the chairman in his final moments. But Jinwoo, filled with fury,
08:00responds, no, I will kill it. I swear on my life, I will kill the monster that killed the chairman.
08:07Only then will I accept your thanks. He then asks Woo Jin-chul to call in the reporters.
08:13Fast forward, Sung Jinwoo holds a press conference addressing the current threat to the world.
08:18He announces that a colony of monsters with exceptionally high intelligence is targeting
08:23top-ranked hunters. These monsters are far stronger than most hunters. They have no regard for
08:29weapons or conventional tactics. They excel at sealing off open areas with magic, isolating their
08:35targets, and striking with deadly precision. Jinwoo urges, hunters who believe they could be targets
08:42should surround themselves with comrades willing to protect them. He recalls the terrifying enemy
08:47who introduced himself as the monarch of Frost before teleporting away, and how defeating such a
08:53being seemed impossible, even for the strongest hunters. Jinwoo finishes his speech with a final
08:59message to the world. If you don't have comrades who can stand with you, contact me through the
09:05Korean Hunter Association. The scene shifts to a cave where all the monarchs are gathered,
09:10discussing their next move. Scyllid, the monarch of Frost, informs the other monarchs that the
09:14shadow monarch has appeared on the surface of the earth. Yagamunt, the king of demonic specters,
09:20and monarch of transfiguration, questions him. Didn't you say there was no vessel that could
09:25fully contain the true powers of the shadow monarch? Isn't that the same reason the dragon king,
09:31the monarch of destruction, can't remain on the surface? Scyllid replies that the shadow monarch is
09:36now more of a threat than the fragment of brilliant light, and informs the others that he intends to
09:41deal with Jinwoo himself. He then asks if the others are willing to help him. Tarnak, the king of monstrous
09:47humanoids in Monarch of the Iron Body, warns Scyllid that by picking a fight with the shadow
09:52monarch, he's essentially committing suicide. He reminds them that Jinwoo is one of the strongest
09:58of the nine monarchs. Tarnak suggests they wait for the return of the dragon king instead.
10:03Scyllid counters that while they may currently be on the run, they are still monarchs. He argues that
10:09their only chance to defeat the shadow monarch is now, while he's still bound to his human vessel.
10:14He asks again for their support, promising to take full responsibility and erase Jinwoo from
10:19existence. Tarnak and Yogamunt declines, saying he doesn't want to end up like the monarch of
10:24White Flames. Raken, the king of beasts and monarch of Fangs, steps forward and agrees to help Scyllid.
10:31Tarnak reminds Raken of what happened to the monarch of White Flames after his defeat,
10:36warning that falling under the shadow monarch's authority means eternal servitude.
10:39Raken responds that the shadow monarch can't turn them into shadow soldiers in their original forms.
10:46Tarnak then reveals that the shadow monarch and the system administrator are now working together,
10:51so there's a chance he can turn them into shadow soldiers, even in their original state.
10:56With that, Tarnak and Yogamunt leave, saying they refuse to become tools in shadow monarch world.
11:02After they leave, Raken asks Scyllid for proof that Jinwoo is still human.
11:06Scyllid shows him the dagger he used in battle, saying it was coated with poison,
11:11something the real shadow monarch wouldn't need to use.
11:14This intrigues Koresha, the queen of insects and monarch of plagues.
11:19She notes that if the shadow monarch had full control over his human vessel,
11:23he wouldn't need to resort to such tactics.
11:26Scyllid then asks her if she'll join them.
11:28Koresha agrees and Raken declares that they will kill the shadow monarch together.
11:32Meanwhile, Jinwoo stands atop a building, trying to locate Scyllid.
11:37He thinks, I can't sense his magic power.
11:39He recalls their earlier battle, thinking he didn't have a shadow with him,
11:44and he said he was in his original form.
11:46Jinwoo remembers what the monarch of the giants told him,
11:49that monarchs and rulers in their original forms cannot become shadow soldiers.
11:54Back at the Hunters Association,
11:57Woojin Chul and the rest of the officials are in a meeting to select a new chairman.
12:00They discuss how the position has been vacant for about a week.
12:04They note that having an S-rank hunter as the previous chairman held great symbolic meaning.
12:09Now that the association overseeing the five great guilds has lost such a figure,
12:14they wonder who will be able to keep the guilds in check.
12:17Though high-rank hunters are influential,
12:19extra caution is needed when considering outsiders.
12:22After much discussion,
12:24all the directors unanimously decide to choose Woojin Chul
12:28as the new president of the association.
12:31Taken by surprise, Woo asks why they are choosing him.
12:34The directors explain that Woo had closely assisted the former chairman and gained significant experience.
12:40He has proven leadership skills and the ability to mobilize Hunters when necessary.
12:44They remind him that there is no law stating only an S-rank hunter can become the president.
12:50They stress the need for a president who can influence and command the respect,
12:54and even fear, of Hunters.
12:55Woo is described as the perfect candidate,
12:59especially given his connections and authority over Korea's great forces.
13:03While they cannot force their decision on him,
13:06they respectfully ask him to consider their proposal.
13:09Woo replies,
13:10I will.
13:10I will.
13:11Meanwhile, in the U.S., at the Scavenger Guild headquarters,
13:15Thomas Andre, accompanied by Laura,
13:17is riding an elevator down to an underground facility.
13:20Thomas remarks that it's been a while since he last came down there.
13:24As they walk through the facility,
13:26Laura asks if he truly plans to give that away as a gift.
13:30Thomas replies by asking,
13:31Do you think it's not worth the lives of me and the guild members?
13:36Laura clarifies that's not her concern.
13:38Thomas then asks,
13:39Do you think Jinwoo lacked the skills to use it?
13:42As they stop in front of the weapon,
13:44Thomas comments on how incredible it still looks.
13:48Laura tells him there are only two such weapons in the entire world,
13:51and she's sure that number will never increase.
13:55Thomas agrees,
13:56and when asked again if he's really going to give it away,
13:59says that's exactly why he will.
14:02He adds that it's a waste for the best weapon in the world
14:04to sit around gathering dust.
14:06Back in Korea,
14:08Gina is watching the news that Hunter Woojin Chul
14:10has been promoted to chairman of the Hunters Association.
14:14Seeing this, she says,
14:15They say the previous chairman was murdered,
14:18and now a handsome man has taken over.
14:20This country is unstable,
14:22and so is the rest of the world.
14:24She looks at her mother,
14:25who is washing dishes,
14:26and hugs her from behind.
14:28Her mother says,
14:29If you don't have anything better to do,
14:31could you please take out the trash?
14:34Gina replies,
14:35I'm too lazy to do that.
14:37She then says,
14:38We should move to a new place.
14:40Her mother responds,
14:41I like this house.
14:43Gina asks,
14:44What is it that you like about this old apartment?
14:47Changing the subject,
14:48her mother asks her to retrieve the clothes from the washer.
14:51As Gina opens the door,
14:53she is shocked and starts to run,
14:55calling out for her mother.
14:57Meanwhile,
14:58outside the Ajin Guild headquarters,
15:00reporters have gathered after hearing the news
15:02that Thomas Andre is inside the building.
15:04Jin Ho is trying to keep his emotions in check,
15:07unsure of what to do with both Thomas and Leonard Newman,
15:10the strongest hunter in Germany,
15:12present in the office.
15:13He thinks,
15:15Two hours have already passed since they arrived.
15:17Where are you, Jin Woo?
15:19Please pick up my calls.
15:21Leonard, feeling uneasy, thinks,
15:23Thomas Andre, the Goliath,
15:24is searching for Jin Woo.
15:26Will I be able to meet him today?
15:28Thomas asks a question,
15:30and Laura translates,
15:31Is Mr. Jin Woo in the middle of a raid?
15:33It seems like he doesn't come to the office regularly.
15:36With a shaky voice,
15:37Jin Ho replies,
15:38Yes.
15:39As they are talking,
15:40Jin Woo enters the office.
15:42Everyone is relieved to see him.
15:44Jin Woo notices Thomas sitting there and thinks,
15:47I saw a mob of reporters outside.
15:50So Thomas really is here.
15:52Jin Ho, almost in tears,
15:53asked Jin Woo where he was
15:55and why he wasn't answering his phone.
15:57Seeing his dusty clothes,
15:58he wonders what Jin Woo was doing.
16:01Jin Woo replies,
16:03There have been a lot of gate outbreaks recently.
16:05I can't afford to slack off.
16:07Thomas approaches him, saying,
16:09Long time no see.
16:11Jin Ho watches, wondering,
16:12Are these two going to fight inside the guild office?
16:16Jin Woo asks,
16:17What brings you all the way to Korea?
16:19Thomas responds,
16:20I promised you that we'd have a meal together once my arm healed.
16:23He adds that he brought a special gift that piques Jin Woo's interest.
16:27Thomas then says,
16:28I'm glad to see Mr. Jin Woo looking forward to it,
16:31but we should move to a more comfortable place.
16:34The gift is a bit too dangerous for here.
16:37Hearing that, Jin Woo thinks,
16:38Did he bring me a bomb?
16:40Jin Ho is suspicious.
16:42It could be a trap.
16:44Jin Woo asks the second man about his identity,
16:46and he introduces himself.
16:49I'm Leonard Neumann from Germany.
16:51Jin Woo thinks he must be here to request a protection commission.
16:56Before Jin Woo can respond,
16:58Thomas cuts in,
16:59Shall we get going?
17:01Neumann prepares to go with them,
17:03but Thomas stops him.
17:04Who are you to follow us?
17:07Neumann replies,
17:08I've already waited more than two hours for Hunter Jin Woo.
17:11I think I deserve a spot in this meeting.
17:15Thomas gets irritated, saying,
17:16What we're about to talk about is top secret.
17:19It's not something someone like you can barge into.
17:22As they leave, Neumann thinks,
17:24I've never been treated like this before.
17:26Later, we see Jin Woo and Thomas sitting in a restaurant,
17:29sharing a meal.
17:31Thomas signals to his men and says,
17:33You don't know how long I've waited for this moment,
17:35as he places a case on the table.
17:37Jin Woo thinks,
17:38What's that?
17:39And Thomas says,
17:41Can you feel the item's power?
17:43He begins opening the case, saying,
17:46This is me showing gratitude for what you did for my guild members.
17:50Jin Woo is left speechless when he sees the daggers inside.
17:53He asks,
17:54Are these from the Kamish raid?
17:56Isn't Kamish's corpse currently kept by the Hunter Bureau?
18:00Thomas explains,
18:01Back then, the U.S. government told us to comply with the Bureau's request,
18:05in hopes of gaining something more valuable than money.
18:09But Kamish's largest and sharpest canine tooth,
18:12I had it pulled out after he bit me.
18:14It was given to me as a souvenir.
18:17The tooth was too short to make a sword,
18:19so I had it turned into daggers.
18:22He tells Jin Woo that the daggers are his gift.
18:25Jin Woo is stunned to see that their attack power is 1,500,
18:29far beyond that of the Demon King's dagger,
18:31which only had an attack power of 220.
18:34He tests the weapon, and Thomas says,
18:37Even when I used my reinforcement skills,
18:39those blades could still pierce right through.
18:42Jin Woo thinks,
18:43This definitely feels different.
18:45It's reacting to my magic power,
18:48almost like it's greeting me.
18:50The mana radiating from the weapon
18:52causes everyone around them to sweat.
18:55Thomas asks Laura,
18:56Do you still think giving this away was a mistake?
19:00Then he turns to Jin Woo and asks,
19:02Do you like the present?
19:04Jin Woo asks,
19:05Can I really have this for free?
19:08Thomas answers,
19:09What I mean by free is that I think this exchange works in my favor.
19:13Compared to the lives of me and my guildmates,
19:15this dagger is dirt cheap.
19:18As they talk,
19:18both of them suddenly sense an overwhelming burst of mana.
19:22Thomas asks,
19:23Did you feel that too?
19:25They rush outside,
19:26and as they look up,
19:28Jin Woo thinks,
19:29Could that be the true form of the magical energy
19:32the doctor mentioned in his presentation?
19:35Thomas says,
19:36I can't believe my eyes.
19:38It's the first time I've seen one this big.
19:41He adds,
19:42It's far bigger than the one Kamish came out of.
19:45Maybe the world is trying to tell us
19:46it has moved beyond the limits of our understanding.
19:49Outside,
19:49civilians could only stare up at the sky in shock,
19:52but instead of running for their lives,
19:54they pulled out their phones to record the phenomenon.
19:56A reporter from News stated that the gate before them
19:59was the largest ever seen since the emergence of magic beasts.
20:03The story shifts to the United States,
20:05where Dr. Belzer is being questioned by some officials
20:08about the appearance of the gate in the skies above Korea.
20:11He tells those present in the room
20:13that he has been warning about the enormous amount of magical energy
20:16that had been gathering in the skies for several days.
20:19The gate that appeared above Seoul is just the beginning,
20:22and they can expect to see more gates like this
20:25appearing in the skies of many different countries.
20:28They ask for his opinion on the matter,
20:31given his long-standing research on gates and magical beasts.
20:35Dr. Belzer replies that they should pray
20:37this phenomenon does not end in tragedy.
20:40Back in Korea,
20:42Jin Woo is flying atop Kaisal,
20:44thinking to himself that he cannot enter the gate.
20:46It feels as though he's being blocked by an invisible wall.
20:50If it were an ordinary wall,
20:52he could have broken it down.
20:54But this is something even an awakened like him cannot pass through.
20:58He wonders if the entity inside this gate
21:00is unlike anything he's encountered before.
21:03Looking down,
21:04he thinks of his friends and family beneath the gate
21:06and resolves not to let whatever is inside pass by him so easily.
21:10As he's deep in thought,
21:12Jin Woo receives a call from Chairman Wu Jinshul.
21:15Jin Woo asks if he looked into the request he had made.
21:19Chairman Wu confirms they did.
21:21Jin Woo had asked the Hunter Bureau
21:22to scan the entire area via satellite.
21:25Chairman Wu reports that no new gates
21:27have appeared anywhere else in the world
21:28following the emergence of this massive one.
21:31He informs Jin Woo that the authorities
21:33are planning to evacuate civilians living near the gate,
21:36then asks Jin Woo what he intends to do next.
21:39Jin Woo responds,
21:40Even if we don't know what will happen tomorrow,
21:42I will plant the apple trees regardless.
21:45The next day at the Hunter Association Gymnasium,
21:48Jin Woo was sparring with Beru.
21:50Beru launched a flurry of attacks,
21:52but none could touch Jin Woo.
21:54He had grown far stronger since their last fight.
21:57While blocking Beru's strike with a single hand,
22:00Jin Woo asked him if he was truly giving it his all.
22:03Beru humbly responded,
22:04I would never dare to.
22:06Jin Woo smiled and said it was fine,
22:08explaining he just wanted to break a sweat,
22:11and Beru was the only one capable
22:13of helping him do that.
22:15They prepared to resume,
22:16and Beru charged once more.
22:18But Jin Woo effortlessly dodged his attack.
22:21As Beru came at him again,
22:23Jin Woo blocked and noted that Beru had grown stronger
22:26after being promoted to commander rank.
22:29Jin Woo then added,
22:30Did you know that there can only be one commander in an army?
22:34He warned Beru that once Igris and Greed reached general rank,
22:38it wouldn't be long before they could challenge for commander as well.
22:42If you don't want to lose your spot,
22:43you'd better keep working hard.
22:44Motivated by his king's words,
22:47Beru went all out.
22:48But Jin Woo thought to himself,
22:50It's still not enough.
22:52Even though Beru is the strongest in my shadow army,
22:55he's still not strong enough to face what's coming.
22:58As Beru attempted a powerful strike,
23:00Jin Woo grabbed his arm and slammed him into the ground.
23:03While Beru was stuck,
23:05Jin Woo delivered a devastating punch to his ribs,
23:08launching him into a wall.
23:10After recovering, Beru humbly praised him,
23:12I am continuously amazed by my king's mighty strength.
23:16Jin Woo joked, saying,
23:18I think I need to start blocking historical drama channels
23:21so you can't watch more.
23:23Now that the sparring session was done,
23:25Jin Woo decided to clean up the place.
23:27He called Chairman Woo and said,
23:29Please don't get mad.
23:30I've got around 300 ants who are pretty good at manual labor.
23:34The scene then shifted to Thomas, Andre, and Laura.
23:37Laura asked if they were returning to the U.S.,
23:39but Thomas replied,
23:40How could I leave behind something so grand and beautiful?
23:44Laura remarked,
23:45It's big, but I'm not sure about beautiful.
23:48Thomas explained,
23:50Anything that makes the heart flutter is beautiful.
23:52The fire-breathing dragon,
23:54the enormous gate,
23:56and Hunter Jin Woo's strength.
23:58They're all beautiful.
23:59He added that there was no gate in the U.S. anyway,
24:02so there was no reason to return.
24:05Laura mentioned the Hunter Bureau was concerned,
24:07but Thomas brushed it off.
24:09What a joke.
24:10There's no place safer than being near Hunter Jin Woo.
24:13If we can't stop it here,
24:15there won't be a beyond.
24:17That's why I want to know,
24:19is this the end of humanity,
24:20or the beginning of something new?
24:22The next day,
24:23people were evacuating the area around the gate.
24:26Back at Jin Woo's home,
24:28Gina asked her mother
24:28why they weren't evacuating like everyone else.
24:31Her mother replied,
24:32If this place is going to become a battlefield,
24:35wouldn't it be better for us to choose where we die?
24:38Besides, our house isn't in the evacuation zone.
24:41Gina, upset, protested,
24:43I'll be a college student next year.
24:45I was going to drink whenever I wanted
24:47and enjoy college life while living alone.
24:50My life is just starting.
24:52I don't want to die like this.
24:54Her mother smiled and said,
24:55That's a good point.
24:57But don't worry,
24:57Jin Woo will protect us,
24:59just like your father once did.
25:01The scene shifts back to Jin Woo,
25:03who was sitting atop a building,
25:05staring at the massive gate in the sky.
25:07He wondered to himself,
25:09Can I really close this without anyone getting hurt?
25:13Pulling out his phone, he thought,
25:14Who would I want to spend my final moments with?
25:18The story then shifts to Cha Hai-in,
25:20who was training in a dojo.
25:22Her master, observing her form, commented,
25:25I've sensed some hesitation in your sword recently.
25:28I'm worried that fear might be growing inside you.
25:31Just then, Cha noticed her phone ringing.
25:34As she went to answer it,
25:36her master said with a smile,
25:38Looks like I'm talking too much.
25:40A hunter should never miss their calls.
25:43After speaking briefly with the person on the other end,
25:46Cha turned to her master and said,
25:48Something's come up suddenly.
25:50I need to go.
25:51As she left, her master stood alone,
25:53smiling knowingly.
25:55So that's how it is.
25:57Time passed,
25:58and we see Jin-woo and Cha Hai-in
26:00walking together in an amusement park.
26:03People around them were buzzing with excitement
26:05upon seeing the two high-profile hunters together.
26:08Jin-woo commented,
26:10There are more people here than I expected,
26:12considering everything going on right now.
26:15Cha asked if he liked places like this.
26:17He replied,
26:18I don't particularly like it,
26:20but I've always wanted to come here at least once.
26:23Curious, Cha asked why he brought her to a place
26:25he had always wanted to visit.
26:27Jin-woo simply said,
26:29Because you're the only friend I have.
26:31Cha was taken aback by his words,
26:32and Jin-woo reminded her of the time in the double dungeon
26:35when she called them friends in front of the architect.
26:38She asked if he had heard that,
26:40and he replied with a smirk,
26:41I have really good hearing.
26:44As she thought about it,
26:45Cha realized two years had already passed
26:48since she became a hunter.
26:50It had been so long
26:51since she'd gone out feeling this lighthearted.
26:54Looking at Jin-woo,
26:55she felt something different.
26:56A unique scent.
26:58Something only he gives off.
27:00When Jin-woo asked if she wanted to try everything in the park,
27:04she smiled and said yes.
27:06Seeing her enthusiasm,
27:08Jin-woo thought,
27:09So I'm not the only one who wanted to come to a place like this.
27:13But despite their efforts,
27:15the rides weren't as thrilling as they hoped.
27:17Even the fake monsters in the park reacted with fear
27:20upon sensing their presence.
27:22Eventually,
27:22they sat down to eat,
27:24and Jin-woo asked,
27:25You're not having fun,
27:26are you?
27:27Cha replied,
27:28It's fun.
27:29Jin-woo followed up.
27:30Then why didn't you scream even once?
27:33Realizing the rides were probably too slow for someone like her,
27:36he asked,
27:36Weren't they kind of boring for an S-rank hunter?
27:40Cha agreed.
27:41He grinned and said,
27:42Then let's ride something actually fun.
27:45In the next moment,
27:46we see Kaizel soaring through the clouds
27:48with Jin-woo and Cha riding on his back.
27:51Jin-woo asked,
27:52How's this?
27:54Cha answered with a smile.
27:55It's fast,
27:56high,
27:57and beautiful.
27:58She then asked,
28:00Why did you even bother with the amusement park
28:02when you had something like this?
28:04Jin-woo looked ahead and said,
28:06That park was built on top of the gate
28:08where my father disappeared.
28:09I've always wanted to visit it at least once,
28:12to properly say goodbye.
28:13Cha looked at him warmly and thanked him,
28:16saying,
28:17You've done nothing but show kindness to me.
28:20Jin-woo then told her,
28:22There's still one more thing I want to show you.
28:24The final scene shows both of them
28:26sitting beneath the open sky,
28:28watching the stars above.
28:30A shooting star streaked across the heavens
28:32as they sat in silence,
28:34sharing a rare, peaceful moment in the midst of chaos.
28:38Fast forward to the next day,
28:40a hunter was walking,
28:41thinking that a monster gate would open in a few days.
28:46I'm a B-rank now.
28:47I can't be letting my guard down,
28:49he thought.
28:50As he was walking,
28:52he bumped into someone
28:53and asked the person to stop.
28:55It was Raken.
28:56The man,
28:57not knowing who he was,
28:58started to shout.
29:00The people around them,
29:01thinking a fight was about to break out,
29:03began to gather.
29:04The man demanded Raken apologize for bumping into him,
29:07saying,
29:08I'm a B-rank now,
29:10a relatively high-rank hunter.
29:12As he was yelling,
29:13Raken opened his mouth and bit off the man's head.
29:16The nearby hunters were horrified by what they saw.
29:20Raken then unleashed a wave of mana,
29:22destroying everything around him
29:24and throwing the hunters into the air.
29:27He declared to the hunters,
29:29Listen closely,
29:30you lowly humans.
29:32From now on,
29:33I will start hunting you.
29:35My teeth and nails will rip apart
29:36your weak skin and flesh.
29:38Then he declared,
29:39I am the king of beasts,
29:41the beast monarch.
29:43Stop me if you dare.
29:44Back in the forest,
29:45Hunter Cha Hai-in
29:47was drinking water from a lake
29:48when Jinwoo approached her.
29:50He said,
29:51I know a hotel around here
29:52that serves really good breakfast
29:53and asked if she wanted to go there
29:55to wash up and have a meal.
29:57He then summoned Keisel and said,
29:59Let's go.
30:00Meanwhile,
30:01back at the hunter association,
30:03someone was informing Chairman Wu Jinshou
30:05that a monster was outside
30:07attacking all the hunters present in the area.
30:11Wu asked about the casualties
30:12and the man replied,
30:14We're unable to confirm
30:15the exact number at the moment.
30:18Hearing that,
30:18Wu thought,
30:19there should still be at least
30:21a couple of hours
30:22until the dungeon break.
30:24I've already
