Transcript

00:00:00Sung Jinwoo grumbles as his phone wakes him.

00:00:07His teenage sister Gina is on the other end, and she chastises him for sleeping into the afternoon.

00:00:13More importantly, he will be late for his meeting with her teacher.

00:00:17Jinwoo bolts upright.

00:00:18When he arrives at school, Gina stares at her formerly disheveled and timid brother.

00:00:23Thanks to Jinwoo's increasing power and strength, he now turns heads with his tall, athletic build.

00:00:28During their meeting, Gina's teacher reassures Jinwoo that she's on track for medical school.

00:00:34Her teacher also has an unusual request.

00:00:36Gina's friend, Han Songyi, has been working as an E-rank hunter instead of going to school.

00:00:41The teacher turns to Jinwoo, a fellow E-rank, to speak to her.

00:00:45It turns out they're acquainted, having worked together when Jinwoo and Yoo Jinho needed to fill out a raid roster with other hunters.

00:00:51Jinwoo finds Songyi, but he's not going to demand she stop working as a hunter, he tells her.

00:00:56Instead, he wants to show her something.

00:00:59Meanwhile, hot-headed S-rank hunter Hwang Dong-su arrives in Japan to get revenge for the death of his younger brother, Hwang Dong-suk.

00:01:07His sights are set on Jinwoo and Jinho.

00:01:09Wu Jinchul of the Hunters Association confronts him at the airport, but Dong-su is undeterred.

00:01:15Elsewhere, Choi Jong-in briefs the head of the association, Go Gun-hee, about the evolving monsters of Jeju Island.

00:01:22That evening, Jinwoo and Songyi join a raid getting ready to enter a C-rank gate.

00:01:27He asked to come along as a training opportunity for Songyi, and his colleagues Ahn and Hyun pulled some strings to get them in.

00:01:33The leader, an A-rank named Kim Chul, doesn't hide his annoyance at two E-ranks tagging along.

00:01:40Jinwoo isn't bothered, intending to use the raid to show Songyi how brutal the life of a low-ranking hunter can be.

00:01:46The group enters the gate. As they do, Jinwoo senses something is amiss, and the gate turns red behind them.

00:01:53It disappears in a flash of light. The hunters find themselves standing in a forest of howling wind and snow.

00:02:00Red gates send groups to isolated dungeons that can't be escaped until the boss is defeated, Jinwoo tells Songyi, and no one can enter to help.

00:02:10An ice arrow suddenly strikes one hunter, and Jinwoo catches another before it hits Songyi.

00:02:15Ice elves!

00:02:16The group knows they're in trouble.

00:02:18The ruthless Chul tells the weaker hunters to survive on their own while they hunt the boss, essentially sacrificing their lives.

00:02:25B-rank hunter park Heejin wisely volunteers to stay with them, having noticed Jinwoo's skills.

00:02:31The others leave.

00:02:32A group of ferocious ice bears quickly besets Chul's group.

00:02:35Elsewhere in the forest, Heejin points out signs of the same bears.

00:02:39Jinwoo says that means the area is clear of ice elves, which is relatively good news.

00:02:44Since they're going to be there a while, Jinwoo summons cold-weather items for the group.

00:02:49They're shocked, since this is a high-rank skill, and he asks them for only one thing in return.

00:02:54Don't ask any questions.

00:02:56Outside the red gate, S-rank hunter Baik Yunho arrives to help.

00:03:01An and Hyun tell him about Jinwoo, and express their hope that he can help the others survive.

00:03:06Dongsu and Jinchul pull up in a car behind them, looking for Jinwoo, and Dongsu's annoyed that the red gate will finish him off before he can.

00:03:15Jinchul considers this lucky for the E-rank hunter.

00:03:18Back inside, Jinwoo finishes off a pack of ice bears with his bare hands, noting that the experience payout is high in a red gate.

00:03:26The group sets up camp, while the others take a moment to rest, Jinwoo heads out for some exercise.

00:03:33Jinwoo tracks the ice bears to their den, and calls forth his recently acquired shadow army.

00:03:38The soldiers emerge from the shadows alongside Igris the Red.

00:03:43Jinwoo watches as the infantry and ice bears clash.

00:03:46While their power is considerable, the army drains his MP quickly.

00:03:51The leader of the ice bear pack emerges from the den with a roar.

00:03:55After it wipes out the soldiers, Jinwoo commands Igris to attack.

00:04:00With just a few swings of his powerful sword, Igris carves the massive ice bear into pieces.

00:04:06Jinwoo's impressed.

00:04:08He thinks he might still be weaker than the incredible Igris, who kneels before him.

00:04:13Elsewhere in the forest, Chul struggles to catch his breath.

00:04:15Vicious ice elves stand before him, grinning as most of the group lies bloody in the snow around him.

00:04:21The A-rank hunter screams and runs away, and the glowing eyes of the ice elves' leader follow him.

00:04:28Inside the Red Gate, Sung Jinwoo finished off the ice bears.

00:04:31He used his power to turn their dead bodies into shadow soldiers for his army.

00:04:36Outside, three hours had passed, and Huang Dongsu was angry that he didn't get to kill Jinwoo himself.

00:04:42Believing Jinwoo was connected to manager Ahn, Huang attacked Ahn, but Baek Yunho stopped him.

00:04:48The two powerful S-rank hunters fought, their punches creating shockwaves.

00:04:53Meanwhile, inside the gate, A-rank hunter Kim Chul was going crazy as he walked alone through the snow.

00:04:58He found the dead ice bears and ran away, thinking ice elves had killed them.

00:05:03Wu Jinchul stopped Huang and Yunho's fight.

00:05:06He told Huang that he checked Jinwoo himself and confirmed he was an E-rank.

00:05:10Huang didn't care about ranks.

00:05:13He just wanted to kill someone.

00:05:14He left.

00:05:15In the snowy woods, some low-rank hunters were eating and staying warm at their camp.

00:05:20Chul found them and yelled at them, blaming them for his friend's deaths.

00:05:24He pulled out his sword, but Jinwoo suddenly appeared and knocked him out.

00:05:28Jinwoo wasn't interested in Chul, but he was looking at the invisible ice elves that had followed him.

00:05:33The ice elf leader Barsa came out and made fun of Jinwoo.

00:05:36Jinwoo talked back in the monster's language, which surprised everyone, including himself.

00:05:41One ice elf challenged Jinwoo, and Jinwoo quickly killed it.

00:05:44Barsa was interested.

00:05:46He said that all monsters hear a voice telling them to kill humans, but the voice is silent when it comes to Jinwoo.

00:05:52Jinwoo wondered if this had something to do with the system.

00:05:55He saw that no one else could.

00:05:57Barsa offered a deal.

00:05:58He'd leave the other hunters alone if Jinwoo gave them to him.

00:06:02Jinwoo refused and summoned his shadow army.

00:06:05The fight began, and the other hunters hid.

00:06:08Jinwoo knew his shadows were strong, but he was worried about Barsa.

00:06:12He'd need even stronger shadows to beat him.

00:06:14Jinwoo and Barsa began to fight one-on-one.

00:06:17As they fought, Kim Chul woke up and tried to attack Jinwoo.

00:06:21Igris killed Chul.

00:06:22Jinwoo turned Chul into a shadow soldier named Iron.

00:06:26Iron made fun of Barsa, and Barsa challenged Jinwoo and Igris to fight him too.

00:06:31They agreed.

00:06:32It was three against one, but Barsa was still strong.

00:06:36Jinwoo threw his dagger and brought it back, distracting Barsa.

00:06:39Iron grabbed Barsa and Jinwoo stabbed him in the side.

00:06:43Then Iron hit Barsa with his hammer over and over.

00:06:46The remaining hunters were happy that their time in the Red Gate was over.

00:06:50Outside, Yunho and Ahn were waiting.

00:06:53They were surprised to see the low-rank hunters, including Jinwoo, come out instead of Chul.

00:06:59The gate closed, and Yunho was shocked that Chul and the others were dead.

00:07:03Yunho asked Jinwoo what had happened.

00:07:06Jinwoo ignored him and pointed out that he had saved lives.

00:07:10Yunho apologized.

00:07:11As Jinwoo and Songyi walked away, Yunho told Ahn to try to persuade Jinwoo to join them.

00:07:18On his way home, Jinwoo was upset that he only got Barsa's weapon.

00:07:22He also thought about how he's now killed people for the third time.

00:07:26The next morning, Yu Jinho, wearing new armor, picked him up for work.

00:07:29Songyi also joined them, surprising Yu Jinho.

00:07:32Together, they set off for the adventure ahead.

00:07:35Yu Jinho is in shock as he sees Sung Jinwoo's shadow army for the first time.

00:07:40The soldiers move swiftly during their latest raid, slaying magical beasts and even harvesting the dungeon's essence stones.

00:07:48Meanwhile, in another dark dungeon, an American hunter panics as he is approached by a wild-looking man.

00:07:55I want to go home, the stranger says.

00:07:58Jinwoo and Jinho are celebrating the successful completion of the guild raid requirements with beer and BBQ.

00:08:04Jinho still needs to finish a written exam and convince his father to allow him to take over their family guild.

00:08:10But he's getting closer to his goal of running it.

00:08:13Feeling a bit tipsy, Jinho expresses that he and his older brother aren't close, and he wishes that Jinwoo were his older brother.

00:08:20Jinwoo smiles warmly and replies that starting today, he considers Jinho his younger brother.

00:08:25The disheveled massive man sits silently in a holding cell.

00:08:29He has been trapped in a dungeon for ten years, according to his story.

00:08:32Two official-looking men are discussing him, unsure if he is actually a humanoid magic beast.

00:08:38Since he struggles with English, the Americans are bringing in an S-rank hunter to translate, an annoyed Hwang Dong-su.

00:08:45The mysterious man's name is Sung Il-hwan.

00:08:48Jinwoo is preparing to leave for a week-long trip.

00:08:51His sister Gina comments on how busy he has been lately.

00:08:54He has been focused on the Demon King's castle and the promised reward of the Elixir of Life,

00:09:00which motivates him to pursue the quest to find a cure for their mother's unusual illness.

00:09:05Jinwoo estimates that he is now three times stronger than he was during his first visit to the dungeon,

00:09:12making the challenge seem much easier this time.

00:09:14Upon entering the castle, Jinwoo receives a quest notification to kill 10,000 magic beasts.

00:09:21He's astonished by the number but is determined to do whatever it takes to save his mother.

00:09:25Jinho finally sits down with his father to formally request taking over the guild membership from his older brother, Jinsung.

00:09:32His father's interest is understandably focused on Sung Jinwoo and his involvement in several unconventional raids.

00:09:39He agrees to grant Jinho's request to lead the Yujin guild on the condition that Jinwoo joins it.

00:09:45Jinho accepts the terms.

00:09:47Back in the dungeon, Jinwoo clears the first floor of monsters.

00:09:50He summons the Shadow Ice Bear, whom he dubs Tank, and climbs on his back.

00:09:55They sprint to the next floor of the castle.

00:09:57In a change of scenery, renowned S-rank hunter Cha Hai In emerges from a swimming pool.

00:10:04She reflects on the evolving magic beasts of Jeju Island that she witnessed alongside Choi Jong-in.

00:10:11After their return, Choi was instructed to keep their existence a secret from the public.

00:10:16He reassures her that for now, they need to focus on building their strength.

00:10:21Jinwoo continues to ascend the dungeon floors.

00:10:23The magical beasts are growing stronger as he climbs higher, but so far, none have posed a significant challenge.

00:10:30On the plus side, he is gaining levels along the way.

00:10:32With 100 floors remaining, Jinwoo believes he will be considerably stronger by the time he reaches the top.

00:10:39His main concerns for now are his supplies and the time remaining, as Gina is waiting for him.

00:10:44As he reaches the milestone of 10,000 monsters slain, Jinwoo arrives at the 50th floor,

00:10:51where he confronts the high-level boss of the lower floors, Avaricious Vulcan, along with his army.

00:10:57Jinwoo then summons his own Shadow Army to combat them.

00:11:01Jinwoo blinks, and Avaricious Vulcan moves faster than he can see.

00:11:04However, he manages to dodge its attack, and their battle begins.

00:11:08The magic beast is massive, and it's faster and smarter than it appears, but it doesn't stand a chance.

00:11:14By using the environment to his advantage, Jinwoo delivers a fatal blow.

00:11:19In America, Sung Ilhwan tells Huang that he is human,

00:11:22and explains that the dungeons, gates, and magical beasts are just the beginning of a much larger crisis.

00:11:28An ultimate catastrophe is unfolding, and it is his responsibility to stop it.

00:11:33Huang notices on the paperwork that Ilhwan has a wife and two children, one of whom is named Jinwoo.

00:11:39The aggressive S-rank hunter smirks and claims that his son is dead, and that Sung Ilhwan will meet the same fate.

00:11:46However, Ilhwan has something to say in response to that.

00:11:49Meanwhile, deep within the dungeon, Jinwoo and his army swiftly annihilated the magical beasts,

00:11:55leaving only one foe remaining Metis.

00:11:57The battle had been utterly one-sided, a display of overwhelming power that even Jinwoo found almost effortless.

00:12:04Observing Metis, Jinwoo couldn't help but wonder, could an immortal magical beast fear death?

00:12:10The thought lingered for only a moment before he decided to put it to the test.

00:12:14With a final, decisive strike, he ended Metis, watching as the once-mighty creature crumbled into nothingness.

00:12:21And a system message pops up, saying that he leveled up.

00:12:24Meanwhile, in America, after the brief but explosive fight between Sung Ilhwan and Huang Dong-su,

00:12:30the building lies completely demolished, and Huang is unconscious.

00:12:34Ilhwan is nowhere to be found.

00:12:36Jinwoo's time and supplies finally run out on the 75th floor.

00:12:40The levels and item rewards were worth the effort, he thinks,

00:12:43especially since he obtained another secret dungeon key.

00:12:46He now possesses two of the three items needed for the Elixir of Life.

00:12:50And as for the third item, when he returns, he plans to finish what he started.

00:12:55Sung Jinwoo steps out of the gate that leads to the Demon King's castle.

00:13:00Although he has made progress toward completing the quest for the Elixir of Life,

00:13:04he needs to be fully prepared and significantly leveled up before returning.

00:13:09Dungeon raids for E-Ranks are no longer sufficient.

00:13:12It's time for him to have his hunter level officially reassessed.

00:13:15The Rank Assessment Office is bustling with anxious potential hunters,

00:13:19each hoping that their ranking will be high enough to support a living.

00:13:23E-Rank, the lowest designation, is generally deemed insufficient for a full-time hunter.

00:13:28Kichul, a recruiter for the White Tiger Guild, scans the crowd and gasps when he spots Jinwoo.

00:13:34He quickly calls the guild leader, S-Rank Hunter Beck Yunho,

00:13:38and breathlessly informs him that Jinwoo is being reassessed.

00:13:42Beck immediately bolts out the door to arrive at the scene.

00:13:45Jinwoo waits quietly, waiting for his turn to be tested.

00:13:48When his name is called, he enters the testing room,

00:13:51where he is asked to touch a machine that measures his magical power.

00:13:55However, the machine continuously returns errors, leaving the administrator perplexed.

00:14:00When her supervisor comes in to check on the situation, he is taken aback by the results.

00:14:05Jinwoo's power is so immense that the machine cannot measure it.

00:14:08This means he is classified as an S-Rank Hunter,

00:14:11joining the ranks of only nine others in the country.

00:14:14Just outside, Choi Jong-In, the leader of the Hunters Guild, and Woo Jinchul,

00:14:19an investigator from the Hunters Association, were discussing the recent strange occurrences.

00:14:24They overheard a commotion coming from inside and decided to check it out.

00:14:28Word had spread quickly in the lobby about Jinwoo,

00:14:31who had been asked to return in three days for a final assessment to confirm his S-Rank status.

00:14:37Choi's entrance caused an even bigger stir.

00:14:39Everyone in the room, including Jinwoo, recognized him.

00:14:43Choi flashes a smile at Jinwoo and confidently begins his recruitment speech, extending his hand.

00:14:49However, Jinwoo walks past him, offering a brief apology.

00:14:53Choi is taken aback by this rejection.

00:14:55Just then, Beck bursts through the doors only to realize that he has missed Jinwoo.

00:15:00Meanwhile, Jinwoo takes a seat beside his mother's hospital bed,

00:15:04where she is suffering from a mysterious illness known as eternal sleep,

00:15:08which has left her in a coma-like state.

00:15:11He gives her a rare smile and gently asks her to wait a little longer for a cure.

00:15:15Woo waits respectfully for Jinwoo in the hallway.

00:15:18Jinwoo isn't particularly interested in what he has to say until he senses another presence nearby.

00:15:24Hunters Association chairman Go Gunhee steps out of the shadows.

00:15:28They both take seats in the lobby.

00:15:30Go Gunhee admits that,

00:15:32as an administrative public institution and not a profit-driven private guild,

00:15:37the association doesn't have many high-rank hunters.

00:15:40He asks Jinwoo to join them in order to help maintain balance among the guilds.

00:15:45Jinwoo considers the offer, partly because Go was the first S-Rank hunter.

00:15:49However, he politely declines, not due to financial reasons, but because he wants to fight.

00:15:54His decision immediately earns Go Gunhee's respect.

00:15:57Jinwoo contemplates the job offer as he walks home.

00:16:00Although it could have been a great opportunity for his career,

00:16:03he realizes he needs to continue leveling up for the sake of his mother.

00:16:07Meanwhile, in a hospital bed in America,

00:16:10S-Rank hunter Huang Dongsu is recovering from the beating he received from Sung Ilhuan.

00:16:15The deputy chief visits him to inquire whether Ilhuan might actually be a magic beast.

00:16:21Huang responds that Ilhuan certainly resembled a beast to him.

00:16:24Frustrated and furious, Huang is aware of Ilhuan's plans

00:16:27and is determined to acquire powerful artifacts to defeat him.

00:16:31Jinwoo has a similar idea.

00:16:33Artifacts, which are typically found in dungeons,

00:16:36are an expensive means of gaining power and abilities.

00:16:40As he prepares for the challenges of the Demon King's castle,

00:16:43he's willing to use any resources available to him.

00:16:45Although he could sell the Sphere of Avarice he obtained,

00:16:49its A-Rank status would likely raise too many questions about its origin.

00:16:53Instead, he comes across a posting that is recruiting miners of any level for an A-Rank gate,

00:17:00providing the perfect cover story he needs.

00:17:02Go investigates Jinwoo's background

00:17:04and notices that he seems like a completely different person from what is presented in his initial file.

00:17:10He admires Jinwoo's resilience as an E-Rank hunter,

00:17:14as he endures injury after injury while continuing to raid.

00:17:17Jinwoo reports for mining duty at the A-Rank raid.

00:17:21Despite still being listed as an E-Rank hunter,

00:17:23the Supervisor doesn't expect much from him

00:17:25and gives him a friendly pat on the shoulder.

00:17:28His role is not to fight,

00:17:29but to mine mana crystals after the strike team has cleared out the magic beasts.

00:17:34S-Rank hunters Choi and Cha Haiyin are already inside doing just that.

00:17:38When they exit the gate, Jinwoo sees Cha for the first time

00:17:42and is impressed by her aura.

00:17:44The mining team then heads in.

00:17:46Inside the cave, Jinwoo senses the presence of an A-Rank boss nearby.

00:17:50If he defeats it, the gate will close,

00:17:53making the crystals inside inaccessible

00:17:55and resulting in significant financial losses for the guild.

00:17:59However, Jinwoo can't shake the curiosity about whether he could take it on.

00:18:03When the other miners go on break,

00:18:04he rushes down the tunnel to the boss's lair,

00:18:07eager to provoke it just a little.

00:18:09With a grin, he summons his weapon,

00:18:11but suddenly hears a voice behind him.

00:18:13It's Cha Haiyin,

00:18:15and she demands to know what he's doing.

00:18:17He explains to the S-Rank hunter that he got lost,

00:18:20and she accepts his explanation.

00:18:22As he walks past her to return to the mining team,

00:18:24Cha gasps.

00:18:25She quickly runs up to Jinwoo

00:18:27and inhales deeply, surprising him.

00:18:29Cha possesses a supernatural sense of smell,

00:18:32and to her,

00:18:33all hunters have an unpleasant odor except for Jinwoo.

00:18:36He smells good.

00:18:38Jinwoo meets up with the other miners

00:18:39after finishing a hard day's work.

00:18:42They chat amiably about Cha

00:18:43and her sensitivity to other hunters.

00:18:46Jinwoo starts to wonder if he smells different

00:18:48because he is the player.

00:18:50The miner's boss compliments him on his hard work

00:18:52and offers him a permanent position on the crew.

00:18:55Jinwoo politely declines the offer

00:18:57but agrees to take one more job for the following day.

00:19:00Later that night,

00:19:01Cha calls the Hunters Guild

00:19:03to request an investigation into Jinwoo.

00:19:05A staff member on the phone informs her

00:19:08that Guild Leader Choi Jong-In made the same request.

00:19:12However,

00:19:12the Hunters Association has mysteriously locked Jinwoo's file.

00:19:16The next morning,

00:19:17Jinwoo reports to the mining boss.

00:19:19The crew smiles and greets him warmly,

00:19:22which reminds him of the friends he had

00:19:23during his E-Rank raid days.

00:19:25They efficiently mine the C-Rank dungeon

00:19:28and take a break for lunch.

00:19:29Captain Sun Ki-Hoon,

00:19:30the leader of the A-Rank strike team,

00:19:33approaches the crew's boss

00:19:34and asks if anyone is willing to haul equipment

00:19:36during their raid

00:19:37as their carrier didn't show up.

00:19:40Jinwoo volunteers for the task.

00:19:42The massive dungeon gate emits little magic power,

00:19:45so Ki-Hoon tells Jinwoo

00:19:47it shouldn't be very dangerous.

00:19:49The strike team,

00:19:50made up of six A-Rank and three B-Rank members,

00:19:53strides confidently into the gate.

00:19:55Jinwoo feels a sense of unease

00:19:57as they enter the dungeon.

00:19:58Noticing his discomfort,

00:20:00the group's healer offers him reassurance.

00:20:02Meanwhile,

00:20:04Ki-Hoon daydreams about becoming captain

00:20:06once the boss is defeated,

00:20:08but suddenly halts

00:20:09as he senses something lurking ahead.

00:20:11Out of the shadows,

00:20:12dungeon jackals attack.

00:20:13The experienced hunters

00:20:14swiftly dispatch the creatures

00:20:16and soon realize

00:20:17that they are wearing collars.

00:20:19What could possibly tame C-Rank magical beasts?

00:20:23Jinwoo and the other hunters

00:20:24quickly uncover the unfortunate answer.

00:20:26A group of High Orcs

00:20:27emerges from the passage ahead.

00:20:29These formidable creatures

00:20:30are a challenge

00:20:31even for A-Rank hunters,

00:20:33and their sheer numbers

00:20:34make them difficult to defeat.

00:20:36Jinwoo decides to secretly lend a hand.

00:20:39He saves their healer

00:20:40and then helps finish off

00:20:41the remaining orcs,

00:20:43using his stealth to slow them down

00:20:45with some well-placed strikes.

00:20:47The hunters notice

00:20:47the High Orcs slowing down,

00:20:49and while they don't know why,

00:20:51they'll take the win.

00:20:52One astute mage

00:20:53had spotted Jinwoo in stealth,

00:20:55but she decides to keep his secret.

00:20:57The group asks Ki-hun

00:20:59if they should keep going

00:21:00into the dungeon,

00:21:01suggesting that they should

00:21:02get more hunters to be safe.

00:21:04Ki-hun proves he's a level-headed leader

00:21:06by agreeing readily,

00:21:07but when they return to the gate,

00:21:09they're shocked to see

00:21:09it's blocked by a powerful barrier.

00:21:11The magic users think

00:21:12they can dispel it

00:21:13and get to work,

00:21:14but when they begin to cast,

00:21:16the magic turns on them.

00:21:17It's a trap!

00:21:18Ki-hun gasps,

00:21:19as he turns to see

00:21:20an army of monstrous High Orcs

00:21:22standing behind them.

00:21:23One sneering High Orc

00:21:25steps forward,

00:21:26shaking its head strangely

00:21:27before opening its mouth.

00:21:29To the hunter's surprise,

00:21:31a disembodied voice emerges,

00:21:33speaking words

00:21:34they can understand.

00:21:35Kargalgan wants to meet the humans,

00:21:37and it's stated

00:21:38that his soldiers won't attack

00:21:39if they agree to the meeting.

00:21:41Ki-hun knows he has no choice.

00:21:42He informs Jinwoo

00:21:43that he and the strike team

00:21:45will confront the boss,

00:21:46who will likely drop the barrier

00:21:48to focus on them.

00:21:49This gives Jinwoo

00:21:50a chance to escape.

00:21:51The team is willing

00:21:52to sacrifice their lives

00:21:53so that Jinwoo

00:21:54can seek help

00:21:55from a strike team

00:21:56capable of closing the gate.

00:21:58The healer gives him

00:21:58her last wish

00:21:59to pass on to her family.

00:22:00Jinwoo is reminded

00:22:01of the double dungeon

00:22:02and the despair

00:22:03he felt back then.

00:22:05However, this time

00:22:05his group isn't abandoning him.

00:22:07They are working to save him.

00:22:09Outside the gate,

00:22:10Cha's come to look for Jinwoo.

00:22:12She's surprised

00:22:13to hear he's inside.

00:22:14The strike team

00:22:15enters a massive hall

00:22:16flanked by High Orcs

00:22:17on all sides.

00:22:18Kargaogan sits on a throne

00:22:20and bids them welcome

00:22:21with an ominous tone.

00:22:23S-rank hunter

00:22:23Cha Ha-yin gazes

00:22:25at the enormous dungeon gate,

00:22:27pondering once again

00:22:28why an E-rank hunter

00:22:29like Sung Jinwoo

00:22:30would want to venture inside.

00:22:32After a moment of contemplation,

00:22:34she decides to follow him,

00:22:35although she realized

00:22:37she hadn't brought

00:22:37her armor or weapons.

00:22:39The boss of the mining crew

00:22:41awkwardly hands her a pickaxe,

00:22:43and with it in hand,

00:22:44Cha steps through the gate.

00:22:45Meanwhile,

00:22:46the hunter's guild's strike team

00:22:48is surrounded by an army

00:22:49of agitated High Orcs.

00:22:51If they escape the dungeon,

00:22:52the hunters realize

00:22:53entire cities could be leveled.

00:22:55The dungeon boss,

00:22:56Kargalgan,

00:22:57taunts the hunters

00:22:58and informs them

00:22:59their deaths will be

00:23:00entertainment for his soldiers.

00:23:02Captain Sun Ki-hoon

00:23:03rushes forward to attack.

00:23:05Kargalgan slams

00:23:06the helpless hunter

00:23:06into the ground repeatedly

00:23:08with gravity spells,

00:23:09until Jinwoo catches him

00:23:10in mid-air.

00:23:11He asks Ki-hoon for permission

00:23:13to eliminate the magic beasts.

00:23:15The captain manages

00:23:16to whisper,

00:23:16yes,

00:23:17and Jinwoo summons

00:23:18his shadow army.

00:23:19Wu Jinchul,

00:23:20of the Hunters Association,

00:23:23arrives at the gate.

00:23:24Part of his job

00:23:25is monitoring

00:23:25S-rank hunters,

00:23:27which now includes Jinwoo.

00:23:29The association measures

00:23:30the magic power

00:23:31of the dungeon again,

00:23:32and discovers

00:23:33its now High A-rank,

00:23:35close to S-rank.

00:23:36Back inside,

00:23:37Jinwoo isn't scared

00:23:38of the blustering Kargalgan.

00:23:40His soldiers are even stronger

00:23:41after their time inside

00:23:43the Demon King's castle.

00:23:44The boss orders the attack,

00:23:46and the High Orc army

00:23:47versus the Shadow army

00:23:48fight begins.

00:23:49Iron, Igriss,

00:23:50and Jinwoo

00:23:50take out several High Orcs

00:23:52by themselves,

00:23:53and the strike team hunters

00:23:54watch in shock.

00:23:55Kargalgan attempts

00:23:56the same gravity spells

00:23:58on Jinwoo,

00:23:59who dodges them

00:24:00without a problem.

00:24:01The High Orc leader

00:24:02says he's going to win

00:24:03when Jinwoo

00:24:03runs out of magic power.

00:24:05Jinwoo still isn't bothered

00:24:06because he has something

00:24:07no one else does,

00:24:08MP potions.

00:24:09He claims the fallen High Orcs

00:24:12for his Shadow army

00:24:13and informs Kargalgan

00:24:14that he'll be joining them soon.

00:24:16The dungeon boss

00:24:17feels fear

00:24:17for the first time

00:24:18as he recalls

00:24:20the command he heard

00:24:20in his head

00:24:21over and over again

00:24:23when he first arrived there.

00:24:25Hunt the humans!

00:24:26At the Hunter's Guild HQ,

00:24:28Guild Leader Choi Jong-In

00:24:30receives word

00:24:30about the gate

00:24:31and prepares

00:24:31to send reinforcements.

00:24:33The battle

00:24:33inside the dungeon continues.

00:24:35As Igriss, Iron,

00:24:36and Tank

00:24:37take on the High Orc lieutenants,

00:24:38the strike team hunters

00:24:40prepare to join in the fray.

00:24:41Kargalgan curses them

00:24:43and tells them

00:24:43the audience

00:24:44is only there to watch.

00:24:46The dungeon boss

00:24:46finally rose from his throne

00:24:48and steps down

00:24:48to face Jinwoo himself.

00:24:50Kargalgan casts

00:24:51a variety of curses

00:24:53on Jinwoo,

00:24:54all to no effect.

00:24:55He's got a passive skill

00:24:56that provides immunity

00:24:57to all toxic

00:24:58and abnormal conditions.

00:25:00Jinwoo summons

00:25:01his magic casting shadows,

00:25:03which shatter the boss's

00:25:04protective shield

00:25:05and land a solid hit.

00:25:07Cha arrives in the main hall

00:25:08just in time

00:25:09to stare in shock

00:25:10at Jinwoo's summoned army.

00:25:12She rushes over

00:25:13to the strike team.

00:25:14Kihoon,

00:25:15under the care

00:25:15of the group's healer,

00:25:16is going to be okay.

00:25:18None of them

00:25:18can make sense

00:25:19of what they're seeing.

00:25:20Kargalgan, however,

00:25:22is big mad now.

00:25:23Literally.

00:25:24The dungeon boss

00:25:25casts strength

00:25:26and gigantification

00:25:27on himself,

00:25:28towering over Jinwoo.

00:25:30Jinwoo has bad memories

00:25:31of giants,

00:25:32he says mildly.

00:25:34So he's a little annoyed.

00:25:35Kargalgan unleashes

00:25:37magic attack

00:25:37after magic attack,

00:25:39but doesn't notice

00:25:40Jinwoo is behind him.

00:25:41The hunter takes out

00:25:42one of his eyes

00:25:43with a quick slice.

00:25:45Jinwoo uses telekinesis

00:25:46to grab a massive chain

00:25:47and wraps it around

00:25:48the enlarged high orc.

00:25:50He uses it

00:25:51to pull Kargalgan

00:25:52down to the ground.

00:25:53Wu enters the hall

00:25:54just as the dungeon boss

00:25:55falls.

00:25:56Cha,

00:25:57realizing that means

00:25:58Jinwoo is under

00:25:59the hunter's association

00:26:00surveillance,

00:26:01can't believe

00:26:01how strong he must be.

00:26:03As for the man of the hour,

00:26:05he sends Kargalgan's

00:26:06own lieutenants,

00:26:07now part of his shadow army,

00:26:09to finish off

00:26:10their former leader.

00:26:11Jinwoo then claims

00:26:12Kargalgan for his own,

00:26:14giving him the name Tusk.

00:26:16He surveys his new soldiers

00:26:17with a smile.

00:26:19He's surprised to hear

00:26:20Wu's voice behind him.

00:26:21He was so caught up

00:26:22in extracting the shadows

00:26:23he didn't notice

00:26:24his arrival.

00:26:25The strike team

00:26:25begins to ask

00:26:26Jinwoo questions,

00:26:28but Wu steps in front of him

00:26:29and says that his status

00:26:30is top secret.

00:26:31Wu asks them

00:26:32to keep his abilities

00:26:33confidential.

00:26:35The hunters bow

00:26:35to thank Jinwoo

00:26:36for saving their lives.

00:26:38Cha blushes,

00:26:39a little embarrassed

00:26:40that she was standing

00:26:41there with a pickaxe.

00:26:43Later,

00:26:43at the hunter's guild

00:26:44headquarters,

00:26:45Choi asks Kihoon

00:26:46if he thinks

00:26:47Jinwoo is more powerful

00:26:48than he is.

00:26:49They both know

00:26:50the answer is yes.

00:26:51Choi wants to recruit

00:26:52him into their guild.

00:26:54Yu Jinwoo, however,

00:26:55wants the same thing.

00:26:56He meets Jinwoo

00:26:57for coffee

00:26:57to broach the subject.

00:26:59Elsewhere,

00:26:59at the hunter's association,

00:27:01the media is abuzz

00:27:02with the news

00:27:03that famous actor

00:27:04Lee Min-sung

00:27:05awakened as a hunter.

00:27:06He sits in a car

00:27:07with a smug smile

00:27:09pleased with himself

00:27:10for having it all.

00:27:11Reporters gather restlessly

00:27:12outside the hunters' association.

00:27:14S-rank hunters,

00:27:16Baik Yoon-ho

00:27:17and Choi Jong-in,

00:27:19arrive,

00:27:19surprised

00:27:20and disinterested,

00:27:21to find out

00:27:22that the press

00:27:23is waiting

00:27:23for famous actor

00:27:24Lee Min-sung

00:27:25to announce

00:27:26becoming a hunter.

00:27:27Baik and Choi

00:27:28are there to try

00:27:28to get a word

00:27:29with Sung Jinwoo,

00:27:30who's scheduled

00:27:31to be confirmed

00:27:32as the country's

00:27:33newest S-rank hunter.

00:27:34They bicker about

00:27:35which of their guilds

00:27:36Jinwoo should join.

00:27:37Meanwhile,

00:27:38at school,

00:27:39Jinwoo's sister,

00:27:40Gina,

00:27:41and her friend,

00:27:41Song Yi,

00:27:42overhear their classmates'

00:27:44gossip about Lee.

00:27:45He's started his conference,

00:27:47dramatically telling

00:27:47the gathered press

00:27:48that he's going to fulfill

00:27:49his fated destiny

00:27:50and become a hunter.

00:27:52In truth,

00:27:52he's just planning

00:27:53to dabble as a hunter

00:27:54long enough

00:27:55for his scandals

00:27:56to be forgotten

00:27:57before resuming

00:27:58his acting career.

00:27:59As the devious Lee

00:28:00holds court

00:28:01in front of

00:28:01the association building,

00:28:03Jinwoo strolls up

00:28:04the steps

00:28:05to enter

00:28:05for his reassessment.

00:28:07One of Lee's lackeys

00:28:08scolds him

00:28:08for interrupting

00:28:09the press conference,

00:28:10but Chairman Go

00:28:11steps in

00:28:12and takes Jinwoo inside.

00:28:13Lee attempts

00:28:14to follow them

00:28:14to salvage the situation,

00:28:16but Woo Jinchul

00:28:17blocks his entry.

00:28:18The actor tries to play

00:28:19the do-you-know-who-I-am

00:28:20card,

00:28:21but Woo is unfazed.

00:28:22An association staffer

00:28:24asks Jinwoo

00:28:25to confirm

00:28:26the nature

00:28:26of his abilities.

00:28:27Since the cat's

00:28:28already out of the bag,

00:28:29Jinwoo sighs

00:28:30and summons

00:28:31his entire shadow army.

00:28:33Bayek and Choi-in,

00:28:34waiting outside,

00:28:35gasp

00:28:35when they sense

00:28:36his magic power.

00:28:37Jinwoo's given

00:28:38a new hunter's license

00:28:39declaring him

00:28:40an S-rank,

00:28:41the first one classified

00:28:42in two years.

00:28:43He's pleased

00:28:44he can now buy

00:28:45and sell magic items

00:28:45without raising

00:28:46any red flags.

00:28:47The Demon King's castle

00:28:49is within reach.

00:28:50Go gives Jinwoo

00:28:51a warm smile.

00:28:52As he leaves

00:28:53the building,

00:28:53Choi and Bayek

00:28:54try to talk to him,

00:28:55but Jinwoo walks by,

00:28:57mumbling an apology.

00:28:58Choi starts to warn him

00:28:59not to open the door,

00:29:01but it's too late.

00:29:02The press has

00:29:02the 10th S-rank hunter

00:29:04in the country

00:29:04firmly in their sights.

00:29:06Back at school,

00:29:07Songyi can't believe

00:29:08what she's seeing

00:29:09on her phone,

00:29:10and she shows

00:29:10an even more shocked

00:29:12Gina.

00:29:13Lee, meanwhile,

00:29:13is crushed

00:29:14that his thunder

00:29:14has been stolen.

00:29:16Elsewhere,

00:29:16Yoo Jinho apologizes

00:29:18to his father.

00:29:19Jinwoo declined

00:29:20his offer

00:29:20to join their guild

00:29:21because he was still

00:29:22focused on getting stronger

00:29:23and asked Jinho

00:29:25to join him instead.

00:29:26His father's highly displeased

00:29:27that Jinho

00:29:28would be so selfish,

00:29:29but the young hunter

00:29:30wants to support his friend.

00:29:32Back at the association building,

00:29:34Beck offers Jinwoo

00:29:35a ride

00:29:35to get away

00:29:36from the clamoring press.

00:29:37Jinwoo,

00:29:38has it handled?

00:29:39He disappears

00:29:40in a flash of speed

00:29:41that not even Beck can see.

00:29:42Beck's stunned

00:29:43that his power

00:29:44seems to have increased.

00:29:45Is that even possible?

00:29:47Jinwoo's eager

00:29:47to go shopping.

00:29:48At the hunter's auction,

00:29:50the staff helps him

00:29:51find artifacts

00:29:52that protect against flame.

00:29:53A place named

00:29:54the Demon King's Castle

00:29:55is very hot,

00:29:57obviously.

00:29:57He's shown a cape

00:29:58and a ring

00:29:59that should do the trick.

00:30:00He gasps at the price,

00:30:01however,

00:30:01and asks about a discount.

00:30:03The staffer jokes

00:30:04that if he can shatter

00:30:05the magic glass,

00:30:06he can have them for free,

00:30:07and then panics

00:30:08when Jinwoo rears a hand

00:30:10back to do just that.

00:30:11Both are embarrassed

00:30:12and they apologize

00:30:13to each other.

00:30:15Jinwoo browses

00:30:16the store's weapons

00:30:16and realizes

00:30:17the items he buys

00:30:19for gold

00:30:19in his player store

00:30:20are worth a lot of money

00:30:22in the real world.

00:30:23The next morning,

00:30:24Jinwoo looks out

00:30:24their apartment window

00:30:25and is relieved

00:30:26to see the press is gone.

00:30:28She scolds her brother

00:30:29for making a huge scene

00:30:31without warning her.

00:30:32The doorbell rings

00:30:33and it's Jinho,

00:30:34reporting for duty

00:30:35as the trusty sidekick

00:30:36and maybe as a roommate

00:30:38since he moved out

00:30:39of his parents' house.

00:30:40Jinwoo plans to be gone

00:30:41for the next week

00:30:42and tasks

00:30:43some shadow soldiers

00:30:44to protect Jinwoo

00:30:44and patrol the city

00:30:45while he's gone.

00:30:47Jinwoo dons his new gear

00:30:48and enters the dungeon.

00:30:49A system message

00:30:50pops up

00:30:51with a quest

00:30:52to defeat

00:30:52the demon monarch Baran

00:30:54on the highest floor

00:30:55of the castle.

00:30:56Jinwoo's pumped

00:30:57and he heads

00:30:58to the 75th floor.

00:30:59Elsewhere,

00:31:00Jinho's parents

00:31:01discuss their son

00:31:02and his father

00:31:03blacks out

00:31:03during their conversation.

00:31:05The doctor tells him

00:31:06that it's the first stage

00:31:07of eternal sleep disease

00:31:08which seems to be caused

00:31:10by exposure

00:31:11to too much magic power.

00:31:12Inside the dungeon,

00:31:14Jinwoo summons Tusk,

00:31:15his recently acquired soldier,

00:31:17to take on

00:31:18a giant magic beast.

00:31:20Tusk blasts away

00:31:21the monster in one attack.

00:31:22Days pass inside the dungeon

00:31:24as Jinwoo splits up

00:31:25his army

00:31:26to take on monsters.

00:31:27On the 80th floor,

00:31:28he starts losing soldiers

00:31:30and he goes to investigate.

00:31:31He finds and makes

00:31:32quick work of

00:31:33three demon knights

00:31:34with one more to go.

00:31:36In the upper levels

00:31:36of the demon knight's castle,

00:31:38Sung Jinwoo evades

00:31:39the desperate attacks

00:31:40of an elite demon knight.

00:31:42The knight calls out

00:31:43a surrender.

00:31:44Jinwoo pulls off

00:31:45the demon's helmet

00:31:46to reveal a young lady

00:31:47with pointed ears

00:31:48and fangs

00:31:48who apologizes

00:31:50for fighting him.

00:31:51She nervously offers him

00:31:52the entry permit

00:31:53to proceed

00:31:54as well as information

00:31:55on the other floors

00:31:56in exchange for sparing

00:31:58the lives of her

00:31:59and her family.

00:32:00Jinwoo accepts.

00:32:01The demon knight

00:32:02says her name

00:32:02is Essel Radiru.

00:32:04Jinwoo tries to get

00:32:05more details from her

00:32:06about the system.

00:32:07She tells him

00:32:08they used to live

00:32:08in the demon realm

00:32:09until they suddenly appeared

00:32:11in the dungeon

00:32:11with a voice in their head

00:32:13to protect it.

00:32:14Essel's voice and eyes

00:32:15glitch when she tries

00:32:17to tell him more

00:32:17about a war in that realm.

00:32:19Back in the real world,

00:32:20a winged ant

00:32:21from Jeju Island

00:32:22has wreaked havoc

00:32:23on a city street in Japan.

00:32:25Almost 300 people died

00:32:27as well as six hunters

00:32:28before it was slain.

00:32:29Chairman Goh

00:32:30of the Hunters Association

00:32:31estimates its power

00:32:32as an A rank.

00:32:33He orders the formation

00:32:34of a joint operation

00:32:35with Japan

00:32:36for the fourth raid

00:32:37on the island

00:32:38before any more monsters

00:32:39reach the mainland.

00:32:40Essel leads Jinwoo

00:32:41and his shadow soldier Tusk

00:32:43to the Radiru family castle

00:32:44for the permit.

00:32:45Her father cringes away

00:32:47from Jinwoo,

00:32:48noticing the army

00:32:49in his shadow

00:32:49and the guards

00:32:50draw their weapons.

00:32:52Jinwoo calmly tells him

00:32:53about the deal they made.

00:32:55Essel's father

00:32:55hands over the permit

00:32:56to the 81st floor

00:32:58and allows her

00:32:59to go with Jinwoo

00:33:00to find what he needs

00:33:01on the other floors.

00:33:02With Essel's guidance,

00:33:04Jinwoo and his soldiers

00:33:05make their way

00:33:05to the 89th floor

00:33:07with efficiency.

00:33:08He notes that Igris

00:33:09and Tank have leveled up

00:33:10as well,

00:33:11about the equivalent

00:33:12of S rank

00:33:13and A rank respectively.

00:33:15Essel warns Jinwoo

00:33:16that the demons

00:33:17on floor 90 and above

00:33:18are considerably more powerful.

00:33:20When she asks

00:33:21why he spared her life,

00:33:23he says mildly

00:33:23that he likes her.

00:33:25He wonders if he works well

00:33:26with people

00:33:26who have a screw loose.

00:33:28Jinwoo tells Essel

00:33:29to return to her father,

00:33:31but she protests.

00:33:32She can still help him.

00:33:34He doesn't argue,

00:33:34and they continue

00:33:35to the top floor

00:33:36of the Demon King's castle.

00:33:38Her prediction

00:33:39about the increasing difficulty

00:33:40was correct,

00:33:41but Jinwoo and his soldiers

00:33:43worked their way up

00:33:44floor by floor.

00:33:45He's determined

00:33:46to get the elixir of life

00:33:47for his mother,

00:33:48no matter what.

00:33:49Meanwhile,

00:33:50Choi Jong-in informs

00:33:51Cha-ha-in

00:33:52that they've been summoned

00:33:53to join the fourth

00:33:54Jeju Island raid,

00:33:56along with all other

00:33:57S rank hunters

00:33:58in Korea.

00:33:59One of Japan's

00:34:00strongest hunters

00:34:01will be joining them

00:34:02shortly to discuss

00:34:03strategy and planning.

00:34:05Jinwoo and Essel

00:34:05reach the 100th floor

00:34:07of the castle.

00:34:08It seems empty,

00:34:09until a screech

00:34:10rings out through the sky

00:34:11and a dragon swoop down

00:34:12like a bolt of lightning.

00:34:14Demon monarch Baran

00:34:15stands on its back.

00:34:16Jinwoo decides

00:34:17to focus on the dragon,

00:34:19Kaizalin,

00:34:20since they're more

00:34:20dangerous in the air.

00:34:21Baran summons

00:34:22a demon army

00:34:23and Jinwoo barely

00:34:24activates his monarch domain

00:34:26in time

00:34:26as they charge forward.

00:34:28His army comes forth

00:34:29and the two forces clash.

00:34:30Baran unleashes

00:34:31a wide area attack

00:34:33and to her surprise,

00:34:34Jinwoo protects Essel.

00:34:36Summoning more soldiers

00:34:37is draining his mana quickly.

00:34:39Jinwoo casts stealth

00:34:40and attacks,

00:34:41but Baran can see him.

00:34:43This isn't going to be

00:34:44an easy fight.

00:34:45Jinwoo orders Tusk

00:34:46and Igriss to attack,

00:34:47then uses the distraction

00:34:49to take off

00:34:49the dragon's head.

00:34:50At the Hunters Association HQ,

00:34:53Hanagawa,

00:34:53of the Drawn Sword Guild,

00:34:55introduces herself

00:34:56and S rank hunter,

00:34:57Goto Ryuji.

00:34:58She translates

00:34:59as they begin discussing

00:35:00their next moves.

00:35:02They share intel

00:35:03on the winged ants,

00:35:04determining that

00:35:05taking out the queen

00:35:06should be a priority.

00:35:07Japan will send

00:35:0810 S rank hunters,

00:35:09including Goto,

00:35:11to the island

00:35:11with the goal

00:35:12of drawing out the ants

00:35:14so Korean hunters

00:35:15can get to the queen.

00:35:16Chairman Go agrees

00:35:17to the plan.

00:35:18Baran blocks attacks

00:35:19from Iron,

00:35:20Igriss,

00:35:21and Jinwoo.

00:35:22He grabs the hunter

00:35:23by the head.

00:35:24Jinwoo breaks free,

00:35:24but he's out of mana

00:35:25and soldiers.

00:35:26He gives it everything

00:35:27he's got,

00:35:28using his strength

00:35:29and speed

00:35:29to slice at Baran,

00:35:31but it's not enough.

00:35:32Esil throws her weapon

00:35:33as a distraction,

00:35:34and Jinwoo uses

00:35:35all his strength

00:35:36to dismember

00:35:37the demon king.

00:35:38A solid uppercut

00:35:39to the jaw

00:35:39finishes off Baran,

00:35:41and Jinwoo captures

00:35:42his soul.

00:35:43Jinwoo smiles at Esil

00:35:44and tells her

00:35:45the Radisu family

00:35:46is in charge now.

00:35:48It's Radiru,

00:35:49she says.

00:35:50Sung Jinwoo stands

00:35:51on the top floor

00:35:52of the demon king's castle,

00:35:54gazing at the demon blood

00:35:55he has just collected.

00:35:56The final ingredient

00:35:57needed to craft

00:35:58the elixir of life.

00:36:00Successful crafting

00:36:01depends on Jinwoo's intellect,

00:36:02so he takes

00:36:03a deep breath first.

00:36:04It works,

00:36:05and now he has

00:36:06six vials

00:36:06of the elixir of life.

00:36:07However,

00:36:08he has a doubt.

00:36:09Will it work

00:36:10on his mother's

00:36:11eternal sleep disease?

00:36:12Jinwoo extracts

00:36:13the shadow

00:36:14of Baran's dragon,

00:36:15and a system message

00:36:16prompts him

00:36:17to name it.

00:36:18Struggling to recall

00:36:19its original name,

00:36:20he hesitates.

00:36:21Esil correctly observes

00:36:22that Jinwoo

00:36:23is terrible

00:36:23at remembering names.

00:36:25He ultimately names it

00:36:26Kaisel close

00:36:27to its original name,

00:36:28Kaiselin.

00:36:29Esil then invites him

00:36:30to her family's castle

00:36:31to celebrate,

00:36:32but Jinwoo has

00:36:33no time to waste.

00:36:34Using his newly

00:36:35acquired skill,

00:36:36shadow exchange,

00:36:37he swiftly leaves

00:36:38the dungeon

00:36:39by swapping positions

00:36:40with a soldier

00:36:41in his shadow army.

00:36:42Jinwoo sits beside

00:36:43his mother's hospital bed,

00:36:45his gaze falling

00:36:46on the burn scars

00:36:47on the side of her neck.

00:36:48The sight stirs

00:36:49a painful memory.

00:36:50He was the one

00:36:51who caused them.

00:36:52As a child,

00:36:53he had accidentally

00:36:54spilled scalding water

00:36:55on her,

00:36:56yet she ignored

00:36:57her own pain

00:36:57to comfort him

00:36:58as he sobbed.

00:36:59Now,

00:37:00with a trembling hand,

00:37:01Jinwoo summons

00:37:02a vial of the elixir

00:37:03of life,

00:37:04uncertain of what

00:37:05will happen.

00:37:06Gently propping her up,

00:37:07he pours the liquid

00:37:08into her mouth

00:37:09and waits.

00:37:10Jinwoo's mother

00:37:10is bathed

00:37:11in a soft,

00:37:12glowing light.

00:37:13Her burn scars

00:37:14fade away,

00:37:15and a healthy color

00:37:16returns to her face.

00:37:17Looking down,

00:37:18Jinwoo reflects

00:37:19on how everything

00:37:20he has endured

00:37:21has led to this moment.

00:37:23As moonlight spills

00:37:24over her bed,

00:37:25he gasps.

00:37:26His mother is sitting up,

00:37:27awake for the first time

00:37:28in four years,

00:37:30a gentle smile

00:37:31on her face.

00:37:32She softly asks

00:37:33about his sister,

00:37:34Gina,

00:37:35and places a hand

00:37:36on his cheek

00:37:36as she notices

00:37:37his wounds.

00:37:39Overwhelmed with emotion,

00:37:40Jinwoo finally lets

00:37:41his tears fall

00:37:42as she thanks him.

00:37:44The next morning,

00:37:45the doctors are stunned

00:37:46to see a patient

00:37:47with eternal sleep disease

00:37:48awake.

00:37:49Gina arrives

00:37:50at the hospital

00:37:51and breaks down

00:37:52in tears

00:37:52as she embraces

00:37:53their mother.

00:37:54Watching them,

00:37:55Jinwoo reflects

00:37:56on everything

00:37:57he has endured,

00:37:58knowing that all

00:37:59the pain and hardship

00:38:00have been worth it

00:38:01for this moment.

00:38:02Meanwhile,

00:38:02the Hunters Association

00:38:04holds a press conference

00:38:05about the upcoming

00:38:06Jeju Island raid.

00:38:08Across the country,

00:38:09people including

00:38:10Min Byung-gu

00:38:10watch the news.

00:38:12Chairman Goh

00:38:12assures the public

00:38:13that this time,

00:38:14they will complete

00:38:15their mission

00:38:16on the island.

00:38:17As Byung-gu listens,

00:38:18he recalls

00:38:19their fallen comrade,

00:38:20Yunsock,

00:38:21who died in the

00:38:22previous raid,

00:38:23once saying

00:38:24that they were

00:38:24the only ones

00:38:25who could help

00:38:25Beck Yunho

00:38:26when he needed it.

00:38:28Later,

00:38:28Gina laughs nervously

00:38:30as Jinwoo

00:38:30and their mother

00:38:31take in the mess

00:38:32she made in their

00:38:32apartment while he

00:38:33was away.

00:38:34Their mother smiles

00:38:35and suggests

00:38:36they clean it up

00:38:37together.

00:38:37As they tidy up,

00:38:39Gina remarks

00:38:39that they've lived

00:38:40there since she was

00:38:41born.

00:38:42While they chat,

00:38:43Jinwoo feels grateful

00:38:44to have them

00:38:45all together again,

00:38:46but a lingering

00:38:47unease

00:38:48tugs at him

00:38:48as he thinks

00:38:49about the lines.

00:38:50He had to cross

00:38:51to make this

00:38:52moment possible.

00:38:53His mother

00:38:53breaks his train

00:38:54of thought

00:38:55by asking

00:38:55if they've heard

00:38:56from their father.

00:38:57They haven't.

00:38:58She then reminisces,

00:38:59telling them

00:38:59that before becoming

00:39:01a hunter,

00:39:01their father

00:39:02was a firefighter

00:39:03and in their own

00:39:04ways.

00:39:05Both Jinwoo

00:39:06and Gina

00:39:07are following

00:39:07in his footsteps

00:39:08by working hard

00:39:10to save others.

00:39:11The Hunters'

00:39:11Association

00:39:12finally contacts

00:39:13Jinwoo

00:39:14about the upcoming

00:39:14Jeju Island raid.

00:39:16He goes to their

00:39:17headquarters to hear

00:39:18them out,

00:39:18but considers

00:39:19that he no longer

00:39:19needs to level up

00:39:20now that his mother

00:39:21is well.

00:39:22Just as he is about

00:39:23to give his answer,

00:39:24he senses an overwhelming

00:39:25surge of magic

00:39:27power back Yunho

00:39:28and another S-rank

00:39:29hunter are sparring.

00:39:31Chairman Go offers

00:39:32Jinwoo the rare

00:39:33opportunity to watch.

00:39:34As Bayek fights,

00:39:35his fangs and claws

00:39:37are bared,

00:39:38his magic power

00:39:38transforming him

00:39:39into a monster

00:39:40at full strength.

00:39:41However,

00:39:42he holds back

00:39:43to avoid harming

00:39:44his opponent,

00:39:45fellow S-rank

00:39:46hunter Ma Dongwuk.

00:39:47Japan's 10 S-rank

00:39:48hunters enter the gym

00:39:49as the sparring

00:39:50match continues.

00:39:52They immediately

00:39:52take notice of Jinwoo,

00:39:54though they can't

00:39:55determine whether

00:39:55he is a mage type

00:39:57or an assassin type.

00:39:58Their leader,

00:39:59Goto Ryuji,

00:40:00proposes an even

00:40:01larger group

00:40:02sparring match,

00:40:03pitting Japan's

00:40:04and Korea's

00:40:04S-rank hunters

00:40:05against each other.

00:40:06Chairman Go agrees

00:40:07but suggests that

00:40:08mage types sit out.

00:40:10Baek Yunho,

00:40:11eager for a challenge,

00:40:12proposes a free-for-all

00:40:13instead.

00:40:14In the end,

00:40:15eight hunters

00:40:15step forward to fight.

00:40:17Baek,

00:40:17Ma Dongwuk,

00:40:19Cha Hai-In

00:40:19and Lim Tai-Gyu

00:40:21from Korea,

00:40:22facing off against

00:40:23Tawata,

00:40:24Kumamoto,

00:40:25Hoshino

00:40:25and Tanaka

00:40:26from Japan.

00:40:27Fighters at the ready!

00:40:28As the S-rank

00:40:29battle begins,

00:40:30Ma activates

00:40:31his special ability,

00:40:32growing in size.

00:40:33Strength clashes

00:40:34with strength

00:40:35and speed meets speed

00:40:37as the hunters

00:40:37exchange their first blows.

00:40:40Lim fires magic blasts

00:40:41at Hoshino

00:40:42while Bayek charges

00:40:43at Kumamoto.

00:40:44However,

00:40:45just before Ma and Lim

00:40:46lose their matchups,

00:40:47Kumamoto flees in fear.

00:40:49At the same time,

00:40:50Cha strikes her opponent

00:40:51and rushes to assist Baek,

00:40:53who is being double-teamed.

00:40:54Reacting instinctively,

00:40:56she counters a sneak attack

00:40:57from Kumamoto,

00:40:58injuring him.

00:40:59In response,

00:41:00Kumamoto's special ability

00:41:01activates,

00:41:02sending him into

00:41:03a berserk rage.

00:41:04He launches a relentless

00:41:05attack on Cha,

00:41:07but before his kick

00:41:08can land,

00:41:09Jinwoo jumps in

00:41:09to block it.

00:41:10Without hesitation,

00:41:11Jinwoo puts Kumamoto

00:41:12in an arm lock.

00:41:14Goto Ryuji

00:41:15is intrigued by Jinwoo,

00:41:17especially since

00:41:18he is supposedly

00:41:18a mage-type hunter.

00:41:20As the battle winds down,

00:41:22Cha and Baek

00:41:23both admit defeat.

00:41:24Curious about

00:41:25Jinwoo's strength,

00:41:26Goto asks

00:41:27if he'd like to spar.

00:41:29The newest S-rank hunter

00:41:31agrees on one condition,

00:41:33no holding back.

00:41:34Meanwhile,

00:41:35a news report

00:41:36updates the public

00:41:36on the upcoming raid

00:41:38on Jeju Island.

00:41:39Juhi,

00:41:40a B-rank healer

00:41:40and a former friend

00:41:41of Jinwoo

00:41:42from his E-rank days,

00:41:44watches thoughtfully.

00:41:45Concerned,

00:41:46she calls her guild

00:41:47to inquire about the raid.

00:41:49Back in the gym,

00:41:50Jinwoo and Goto

00:41:51prepare to face off.

00:41:53Baek,

00:41:53curious about

00:41:54Jinwoo's growth in power,

00:41:56watches intently.

00:41:57Just as Jinwoo

00:41:58begins to suggest

00:41:59they start,

00:42:00Goto launches an attack

00:42:01without warning.

00:42:03Jinwoo swiftly dodges,

00:42:04and the fight begins.

00:42:06Almost instantly,

00:42:07Goto realizes

00:42:08that Jinwoo

00:42:09is far from

00:42:10a typical

00:42:10mage-type hunter.

00:42:12Jinwoo notes

00:42:13that Goto

00:42:13is exceptionally fast

00:42:15and powerful,

00:42:15even for an S-rank,

00:42:17and smiles at the challenge.

00:42:18As the fight continues,

00:42:20the other hunters

00:42:21watch in awe

00:42:22as Jinwoo

00:42:23effortlessly

00:42:23dodges every punch,

00:42:25gradually wearing

00:42:26on Goto's nerves.

00:42:28Determined,

00:42:29Goto gets serious

00:42:30and finally manages

00:42:31to land a scratch

00:42:32on Jinwoo's cheek only

00:42:33for Jinwoo

00:42:34to catch his hand

00:42:35mid-strike.

00:42:36He could have grabbed

00:42:37his wrist

00:42:37to end the match,

00:42:38but he's enjoying

00:42:39himself too much.

00:42:40Just as the two

00:42:41prepare to unleash

00:42:42their full power,

00:42:43the other hunters

00:42:44step in,

00:42:45physically restraining them.

00:42:47The fight ends.

00:42:48Ma and Bayek

00:42:49approach Jinwoo,

00:42:50congratulating him

00:42:51on a hard-fought match.

00:42:53While fighting,

00:42:54Jinwoo had been

00:42:55carefully measuring

00:42:56the hunters' skills

00:42:57and secretly sent

00:42:58his soldiers

00:42:59into their shadows

00:43:00to keep an eye on them.

00:43:02When asked about

00:43:02joining the upcoming

00:43:03Jeju Island raid,

00:43:05he feels uneasy

00:43:06and ultimately

00:43:07declines the opportunity.

00:43:09Cha notices that

00:43:10Jinwoo's name

00:43:11is missing

00:43:11from the raid roster,

00:43:13but Choi Jong-in

00:43:14believes that

00:43:14with 15 S-rank hunters,

00:43:16they have all

00:43:17the firepower

00:43:18they need.

00:43:18Meanwhile,

00:43:19Jinwoo returns home

00:43:20to find a home-cooked

00:43:22meal from his mother

00:43:23waiting for him.

00:43:24As he eats,

00:43:25he reflects on

00:43:25her recent recovery.

00:43:27He wants to be

00:43:27there for her.

00:43:28That's why he's not

00:43:29going to Jeju Island.

00:43:31Meanwhile,

00:43:31on the island,

00:43:32the Ant Queen

00:43:33observes her brood

00:43:34feeding on each other.

00:43:36Realizing they will

00:43:37soon need more space

00:43:38and food,

00:43:39she considers relocation.

00:43:41Just then,

00:43:41a highly evolved

00:43:43humanoid ant

00:43:44bursts from its egg.

00:43:45Sensing its potential,

00:43:47the Queen wonders

00:43:48if this one

00:43:48could be their leader.

00:43:49As the Jeju Island raid

00:43:51dominates the news,

00:43:53hunters across the country

00:43:54consider how they can help.

00:43:55Retired S-rank healer

00:43:57Min Byung-gu

00:43:58contemplates his role,

00:43:59while E-rank hunter

00:44:01Han Song-yi

00:44:02expresses a desire

00:44:03to join Korea's

00:44:04defense force.

00:44:05Meanwhile,

00:44:06Joohee meets

00:44:07with Jinwoo's

00:44:07old friend,

00:44:08Song Chi-yul.

00:44:10A fleet of ships

00:44:11forms a perimeter

00:44:12around the island

00:44:13with hunters

00:44:13stationed on deck,

00:44:15ready to prevent

00:44:15any stray ants

00:44:16from reaching

00:44:17the mainland.

00:44:18On his ship,

00:44:19Ma bids his

00:44:19vice guildmaster

00:44:20farewell,

00:44:21while Lee Min-sung

00:44:22poses for pictures

00:44:23on another.

00:44:24Elsewhere,

00:44:25Captain Sun Ki-hoon

00:44:26and his team

00:44:27stand at the ready,

00:44:28alongside Park Hee-jin

00:44:30from the Red Gate,

00:44:31as well as

00:44:32Song and Joo-hee.

00:44:33To Bayek's surprise,

00:44:34Min Byung-gu

00:44:35has also joined

00:44:36the mission.

00:44:37It's a remarkable

00:44:38display of teamwork

00:44:39from Korea's hunters,

00:44:40and at last,

00:44:41the raid is a go.

00:44:42Japan's team of hunters,

00:44:44already in position

00:44:45on the island,

00:44:46unleash their magic power

00:44:48to create a diversion.

00:44:49The tactic works

00:44:50immediately,

00:44:51a swarm of ants

00:44:52rushes toward them,

00:44:53but also targets

00:44:54Korea's team

00:44:54mid-flight.

00:44:55However,

00:44:56Choi swiftly eliminates

00:44:57the incoming threat,

00:44:59allowing the helicopter

00:45:00to land safely.

00:45:01With the ants

00:45:02temporarily distracted,

00:45:03the hunters have

00:45:04just one hour

00:45:05to locate the queen.

00:45:06Elsewhere,

00:45:07Jin-woo completes

00:45:08his daily training.

00:45:09Though the raid

00:45:10crosses his mind,

00:45:11he assumes

00:45:11the S-rank hunters

00:45:13can handle it

00:45:13without him.

00:45:14Meanwhile,

00:45:15deep within the ants' nest,

00:45:16the hunters discover

00:45:17a cache of eggs,

00:45:19including the massive one

00:45:20that recently hatched.

00:45:22Bayung-gu,

00:45:23understandably,

00:45:23is shaken

00:45:24by its sheer size.

00:45:25The Japanese hunters

00:45:27hold their ground,

00:45:28though one ant manages

00:45:29to land a solid hit

00:45:31on Kenzo.

00:45:32He calls for their healer,

00:45:33Shimizu,

00:45:34to patch him up,

00:45:35and she teases him

00:45:36as she gets to her feet.

00:45:37But suddenly,

00:45:38she falls silent.

00:45:40Her head disintegrates

00:45:41in an instant.

00:45:42The remaining hunters

00:45:43freeze as glowing red eyes

00:45:45lock onto them.

00:45:46On Jeju Island,

00:45:48a mysterious,

00:45:48evolved magic beast

00:45:50moves faster than

00:45:51two Japanese S-rank hunters

00:45:53can perceive.

00:45:53In an instant,

00:45:54their heads tumble

00:45:55to the ground.

00:45:56Meanwhile,

00:45:57inside the queen ant's lair,

00:45:59the Korean S-rank hunters

00:46:01battle relentlessly,

00:46:02slaying one magic ant

00:46:04after another,

00:46:05each as powerful

00:46:06as an S-rank hunter itself.

00:46:08Beck Yunho,

00:46:09Ma Dongwook,

00:46:10Cha Hai-in,

00:46:10Lim Tae-gyu,

00:46:11and Choi Jong-in

00:46:12fight with healer

00:46:13Min Byung-gu,

00:46:14providing support.

00:46:15Using his enhanced vision,

00:46:17Beck catches a glimpse

00:46:18of the queen

00:46:19in the deepest chamber

00:46:20of the lair.

00:46:21Determined,

00:46:21the group ventures

00:46:22further inside.

00:46:24On the surface

00:46:24of Jeju Island,

00:46:25two more Japanese

00:46:26S-rank hunters

00:46:27search for their

00:46:28missing colleagues.

00:46:30They sense the presence

00:46:31of the evolved magic beast,

00:46:33but it's already too late.

00:46:35Meanwhile,

00:46:35inside the lair,

00:46:36the Korean hunters

00:46:37reach the queen's chamber,

00:46:39only to find it guarded

00:46:40by hundreds of royal guard ants.

00:46:42Ma activates

00:46:43his defensive abilities,

00:46:45doubling in size,

00:46:46while Choi unleashes

00:46:47his fire magic

00:46:48at full strength.

00:46:49He doesn't hold back

00:46:50as countless royal guard ants

00:46:52are engulfed in flames.

00:46:53Beck unleashes

00:46:54his full power as well,

00:46:56transforming into

00:46:56a half-man,

00:46:57half-tiger

00:46:58with glowing eyes

00:46:59and an unruly white mane.

00:47:01With a deafening roar,

00:47:02he tears through the ants

00:47:04with his clawed hands.

00:47:05The cameraman

00:47:06accompanying the team

00:47:07can only stand

00:47:08and watch,

00:47:09broadcasting the battle

00:47:10to televisions

00:47:11across the country.

00:47:12Nearby,

00:47:13S-rank healer Byung-gu

00:47:14stays close

00:47:15to protect him

00:47:16while supporting

00:47:16the other hunters.

00:47:17Lim rains down

00:47:19magic arrows

00:47:19on the royal guard ants

00:47:21as the S-rank hunters

00:47:23work in perfect harmony

00:47:24to annihilate them.

00:47:26Meanwhile,

00:47:27hunters on standby

00:47:28outside the island,

00:47:29along with the entire

00:47:30population of Korea,

00:47:32watch the battle unfold

00:47:34through the live news feed.

00:47:36Finally,

00:47:36only the massive queen

00:47:38remains.

00:47:39The queen ant

00:47:39spews noxious gas

00:47:41at Ma and Bayek.

00:47:42Just as it begins

00:47:43to eat away

00:47:43at their skin,

00:47:45Byung-gu swiftly heals them.

00:47:46As the hunters

00:47:47launch their attack,

00:47:48the queen emits

00:47:49a piercing screech

00:47:50into the sky.

00:47:52Combining their abilities,

00:47:53they unleash

00:47:54a relentless

00:47:54assault magic arrows,

00:47:56flames,

00:47:57claws,

00:47:57and blades

00:47:58pummeling the queen.

00:47:59Finally,

00:48:00Cha delivers

00:48:01the finishing blow

00:48:02severing its head

00:48:03from its body.

00:48:04The people of Korea

00:48:05erupt in cheers,

00:48:06but it's too soon

00:48:07to celebrate.

00:48:08The queen's scream

00:48:09has summoned

00:48:09all the ants

00:48:10on the island

00:48:11back to the lair,

00:48:13and the hunters

00:48:13are still inside.

00:48:14Cha feels

00:48:15his magical defenses

00:48:17shattering

00:48:17as the swarm

00:48:18closes in.

00:48:20But before the ants

00:48:21can reach them,

00:48:22the evolved magic beast

00:48:23its appearance

00:48:24resembling a humanoid

00:48:26black ant

00:48:26arrives first.

00:48:28The S-rank hunters

00:48:29sense the staggering

00:48:30power of the black ant

00:48:31as it stalks

00:48:32toward them.

00:48:33Cha falls to her knees,

00:48:35overwhelmed by its stench,

00:48:37and they all

00:48:37immediately realize

00:48:38this is no ordinary

00:48:39magic beast.

00:48:41Standing beside

00:48:42the queen's corpse

00:48:42for a brief moment,

00:48:43it suddenly moves

00:48:45like lightning.

00:48:46In an instant,

00:48:47it strikes Cha

00:48:48with a devastating

00:48:49blow to her side,

00:48:50severs Ma's arms,

00:48:52and slashes

00:48:52Beck and Choi

00:48:53across the chest.

00:48:55Just as it's about

00:48:55to kill Lim,

00:48:56Ma intercepts the attack,

00:48:58his arms fully restored.

00:49:00Byung-gu uses camouflage,

00:49:02a stealth skill,

00:49:03to heal his allies

00:49:04undetected.

00:49:05However,

00:49:06the black ant

00:49:07slams Ma

00:49:08into the ground

00:49:09before turning

00:49:10its attention

00:49:10into Byung-gu's

00:49:11seeing through

00:49:12his invisibility

00:49:13with ease.

00:49:14In a flash,

00:49:15the beast's arm

00:49:16pierces straight

00:49:17through the healer's chest.

00:49:19With his dying breath,

00:49:20Byung-gu tells

00:49:21his friend Bayek

00:49:22to run.

00:49:23There's no time

00:49:23to escape.

00:49:24The black ant

00:49:25seizes Bayek

00:49:26by the throat

00:49:26and,

00:49:27to the hunter's shock,

00:49:28begins to speak.

00:49:30It tells Bayek

00:49:31that they are

00:49:31too weak for it

00:49:32and that it seeks

00:49:33their king

00:49:34to answer

00:49:34for its queen's death.

00:49:36Then,

00:49:36in a blur,

00:49:37it speeds outside

00:49:38in search

00:49:39of Japanese

00:49:40S-rank

00:49:40guild leader

00:49:41Ryuji Goto

00:49:42just as another

00:49:43wave of magic

00:49:44ants swarms

00:49:46the hunters.

00:49:47Outside,

00:49:47Goto and the

00:49:48other Japanese

00:49:49hunters search

00:49:50for their

00:49:50unresponsive

00:49:51teammates.

00:49:52Just as they

00:49:53discover their

00:49:53corpses,

00:49:54Goto receives

00:49:55orders over the

00:49:56radio from

00:49:57Japan's guild

00:49:58master,

00:49:58Chairman Matsumoto.

00:50:00The ruthless

00:50:00leader commands

00:50:01the Japanese

00:50:02hunters to

00:50:02abandon the

00:50:03Koreans to

00:50:04their deaths.

00:50:05Once the

00:50:05Koreans are

00:50:06wiped out,

00:50:06Japan will

00:50:07send in

00:50:07another

00:50:08strike team

00:50:08to finish

00:50:09off the

00:50:09remaining

00:50:10ants claiming

00:50:11full credit

00:50:11for the

00:50:12successful

00:50:12raid while

00:50:13simultaneously

00:50:14weakening

00:50:15Korea's

00:50:15military strength

00:50:16in one

00:50:17decisive move.

00:50:18The black

00:50:18ant,

00:50:19however,

00:50:19has other

00:50:20plans.

00:50:21As it

00:50:21approaches,

00:50:22Goto barely

00:50:22manages to

00:50:23block its

00:50:24attack in

00:50:24time.

00:50:25When the

00:50:25creature asks

00:50:26if he is

00:50:26the human

00:50:27king,

00:50:28Goto

00:50:28confidently

00:50:29answers

00:50:29yes.

00:50:30In the

00:50:30next instant,

00:50:31a curtain

00:50:32of darkness

00:50:32falls over him

00:50:33and his

00:50:34blade shatters

00:50:35in two.

00:50:36Meanwhile,

00:50:37inside the

00:50:37lair,

00:50:38the Korean

00:50:38hunters struggle

00:50:39to hold

00:50:40back the

00:50:40endless swarm

00:50:41of magic

00:50:42ants,

00:50:43their bodies

00:50:43weakened by

00:50:44severe injuries.

00:50:46Cha lies

00:50:46unconscious while

00:50:47the others can

00:50:48barely remain

00:50:49standing.

00:50:49Just as their

00:50:50strength begins

00:50:51to fade,

00:50:52dark figures

00:50:53rise from

00:50:53their shadows.

00:50:55Jinwoo's army

00:50:55has arrived.

00:50:56His shadow

00:50:57soldiers surge

00:50:58forward,

00:50:59holding back the

00:51:00onslaught of

00:51:00magic beasts

00:51:01and shielding the

00:51:02hunters from

00:51:03certain death.

00:51:04Elsewhere,

00:51:04Jinwoo stands,

00:51:05his eyes glowing

00:51:06as he utters a

00:51:07single word,

00:51:08exchange.

00:51:09Exhausted and

00:51:09heavily wounded,

00:51:10the hunters have

00:51:11no idea where

00:51:12these soldiers

00:51:12came from.

00:51:13As Igris,

00:51:14Tusk,

00:51:14Tank,

00:51:15and Iron

00:51:15join the

00:51:16fray,

00:51:16cutting down

00:51:17numerous ants,

00:51:17the hunters

00:51:18gasp in

00:51:19disbelief.

00:51:20From the

00:51:20shadows,

00:51:21one more figure

00:51:21steps forward,

00:51:22Sung Jinwoo.

00:51:23Off the

00:51:24island,

00:51:25viewers watching

00:51:25the live stream

00:51:26of the raid,

00:51:27including Chairman

00:51:28Goh of the

00:51:29Hunters Association

00:51:30Express,

00:51:31concern as the

00:51:31broadcast suddenly

00:51:33cuts off.

00:51:34Inside the

00:51:34lair,

00:51:35the cameraman

00:51:36frantically fumbles

00:51:37with his equipment,

00:51:38trying to get it

00:51:38working again.

00:51:40Meanwhile,

00:51:40Iron taunts the

00:51:41ants,

00:51:42drawing their

00:51:42attention,

00:51:43while Jinwoo

00:51:44gives his army

00:51:44the order to

00:51:45attack.

00:51:46The S-rank

00:51:46hunters can only

00:51:47watch as Jinwoo's

00:51:48elite soldiers cut

00:51:49down the magic

00:51:50ants with ease.

00:51:51Jinwoo assures

00:51:52Baek Yunho

00:51:53that he'll explain

00:51:54everything later and

00:51:55summons potions to

00:51:56treat their wounds.

00:51:57However,

00:51:58when he attempts to

00:51:59use one on the

00:52:00mortally wounded

00:52:01Chahai in,

00:52:02a system message

00:52:03informs him that

00:52:04her health is too

00:52:05low for it to

00:52:06take effect.

00:52:07Realizing the

00:52:07urgency of the

00:52:08situation,

00:52:09he shifts his

00:52:09focus to getting

00:52:10her medical help

00:52:11as quickly as

00:52:12possible,

00:52:12but the swarm of

00:52:13ants continues to

00:52:14grow in number.

00:52:15Back at the

00:52:16hunters'

00:52:16association,

00:52:17the staff

00:52:18scrambles to

00:52:19gather any

00:52:19information on

00:52:20the hunters'

00:52:20status,

00:52:21but Japan's

00:52:22hunters remain

00:52:23unresponsive as

00:52:24well.

00:52:25Chairman Goh sinks

00:52:26into his chair

00:52:27in frustration,

00:52:28cursing his

00:52:29aged and

00:52:29battered body

00:52:30for preventing

00:52:31him from being

00:52:32on Jeju Island

00:52:33himself.

00:52:33Meanwhile,

00:52:34in Japan,

00:52:35their chairman

00:52:36is visibly

00:52:36irritated,

00:52:37furious that

00:52:38Goto Ryuji

00:52:39allowed himself

00:52:40to be killed

00:52:40by the

00:52:41black ant.

00:52:42In the ant's

00:52:42lair,

00:52:43Jinwoo's

00:52:43shadow soldiers

00:52:44continue clearing

00:52:45the tunnel to

00:52:46secure the

00:52:46hunter's escape.

00:52:47However,

00:52:48the process is

00:52:48too slow.

00:52:49Turning to the

00:52:50small group of

00:52:51hunters,

00:52:51Jinwoo asks them

00:52:53to keep what

00:52:53they are about to

00:52:54witness a secret.

00:52:55Suddenly,

00:52:56Jinwoo senses a

00:52:57powerful presence

00:52:58as the black

00:52:59ant emerges

00:52:59from the tunnel

00:53:00ahead.

00:53:01The other

00:53:01hunters spot it,

00:53:02and Baek

00:53:03Yunho is filled

00:53:04with dread,

00:53:05realizing that

00:53:06Goto is likely

00:53:07dead.

00:53:07The king wasn't

00:53:08outside,

00:53:09the black ant

00:53:09laments before

00:53:10asking if there

00:53:11is one inside

00:53:12the lair.

00:53:12Jinwoo steps

00:53:13forward.

00:53:14The creature

00:53:14eyes him and

00:53:15asks if he is

00:53:16the king of

00:53:17humans,

00:53:17but instead of

00:53:18showing fear,

00:53:19Jinwoo smirks

00:53:20and mockingly

00:53:21calls it a

00:53:22talking bug.

00:53:24At that moment,

00:53:25the camera flickers

00:53:25back to life,

00:53:27and the feed

00:53:27begins broadcasting

00:53:28live across

00:53:29Korea.

00:53:30Among the

00:53:31viewers,

00:53:31Jinwoo's

00:53:32acquaintances and

00:53:33friends recognize

00:53:34him, including

00:53:35his shocked

00:53:35sister Gina.

00:53:37As for the

00:53:37newly leveled-up

00:53:38hunter, he

00:53:39continues his

00:53:40intense stare-down

00:53:41with the black

00:53:41ant.

00:53:42In a flash, the

00:53:43creature throws a

00:53:44swift punch at

00:53:45Jinwoo's face.

00:53:46The watching

00:53:47hunters gasp,

00:53:48fearing that this

00:53:49might be the end

00:53:50for him, but of

00:53:51course it isn't.

00:53:52Jinwoo takes the

00:53:53hit without flinching

00:53:54and counters with a

00:53:55powerful uppercut,

00:53:57catching the black

00:53:57ant completely off

00:53:59guard.

00:53:59Is he really a

00:54:00mage?

00:54:01Ma Dongwook asks in

00:54:02disbelief.

00:54:03In an explosive

00:54:04clash of magic

00:54:05power, Jinwoo and

00:54:06the black ant

00:54:07exchange earth-shattering

00:54:08blows.

00:54:09A powerful punch

00:54:11sends the black

00:54:11ant reeling, but it

00:54:13quickly counter-attacks,

00:54:14lashing out with its

00:54:15poison-laced tongue and

00:54:16slicing Jinwoo's face.

00:54:19He drops to one knee.

00:54:20Believing Jinwoo to be

00:54:21paralyzed, the black

00:54:22ant raises an arm to

00:54:24deliver the finishing

00:54:25blow.

00:54:25Meanwhile, the

00:54:26Japanese chairman,

00:54:27determined to salvage

00:54:28the raid, recalls

00:54:30their three surviving

00:54:31S-rank hunters,

00:54:33scheming to send them

00:54:34into the nest.

00:54:35Jinwoo catches the

00:54:36black ant's arm mid-strike

00:54:37before hurling it into

00:54:38the rocky cavern wall.

00:54:40His resistance to

00:54:41toxins has kicked in,

00:54:42allowing him to

00:54:43recover quickly.

00:54:44As he gets back on

00:54:45his feet, he senses the

00:54:46black ant's growing

00:54:47anxiety, a feeling that

00:54:49mirrors his own.

00:54:50Time is running out and

00:54:51he needs to get

00:54:52Chahai in to safety.

00:54:53Just then, the black

00:54:55ant undergoes another

00:54:56evolution, transforming

00:54:57into an even deadlier

00:54:59form.

00:55:00The real fight begins.

00:55:01Jinwoo summons his daggers

00:55:02and the battle resumes.

00:55:04They clash in bursts of

00:55:05red and blue energy,

00:55:06moving faster than the eye

00:55:08can follow, blades

00:55:09striking against claws in a

00:55:11relentless exchange.

00:55:12The cavern walls crumble

00:55:13around them, but neither

00:55:15combatant slows down.

00:55:16As the black ant's claws

00:55:17extend, coming within

00:55:19millimeters of Jinwoo's

00:55:20eye, he activates his

00:55:22mutilation skill.

00:55:23In an instant, he dices

00:55:25the creature into pieces,

00:55:26but it regenerates its

00:55:27lost limbs and desperately

00:55:29attempts to flee.

00:55:30Jinwoo won't allow it.

00:55:31Jinwoo commands his army

00:55:32to unleash their full

00:55:33might against the magic

00:55:35ants, as the black ant

00:55:36desperately urges them

00:55:37forward.

00:55:38It attempts to flee once

00:55:39more, but Jinwoo ends

00:55:41the fight and its life in

00:55:43a relentless flurry of

00:55:44daggers.

00:55:44The remaining magic ants

00:55:46scatter in fear.

00:55:47However, the hunter's

00:55:48sense of victory is

00:55:49short-lived as Cha

00:55:50Hai-In's condition

00:55:51deteriorates.

00:55:52In a last-ditch effort,

00:55:53Jinwoo gives her a

00:55:55priceless elixir of life,

00:55:56but even that fails to

00:55:57save the dying hunter.

00:55:59Desperation fills his

00:56:00gaze as he frantically

00:56:01searches the cavern for

00:56:03a solution.

00:56:04As Cha Hai-In's life

00:56:05ebbs away in the

00:56:06ant queen's lair,

00:56:07Sung Jinwoo asks the

00:56:09cameraman to end the

00:56:10live broadcast.

00:56:12The other S-rank hunters

00:56:13gasp as one of

00:56:14Jinwoo's soldiers gently

00:56:16lays the body of healer

00:56:17Min Byung-gu beside Cha.

00:56:19Baek Yoon-ho, Min's

00:56:21close friend, questions

00:56:22Jinwoo, but there isn't

00:56:24much time to explain.

00:56:25To the hunter's shock,

00:56:27Jinwoo extracts Min's

00:56:28shadow.

00:56:29Outside, Japan's S-rank

00:56:31hunters have reached

00:56:32their ship, where they

00:56:33receive the news that the

00:56:34black ant has been

00:56:35defeated.

00:56:36As Min turns to Cha,

00:56:37Jinwoo tells Baek that

00:56:38he heard the healer's

00:56:39voice asking him to use

00:56:41his power.

00:56:42Jinwoo notes that Min must

00:56:43have been a very kind

00:56:44person.

00:56:45He didn't have to order

00:56:46the shadow to help her.

00:56:47Min's power envelops Cha

00:56:49and her mortal wounds

00:56:50disappear.

00:56:51Baek tells Jinwoo that

00:56:52while Min's power would be

00:56:53a great asset, the healer

00:56:55despised fighting in life.

00:56:57He respectfully asks

00:56:58Jinwoo to release his

00:56:59shadow, and Jinwoo agrees

00:57:01immediately having had the

00:57:03same thought.

00:57:04Min smiles at Baek as

00:57:05his shadow dissipates.

00:57:06Meanwhile, in Japan, the

00:57:08hunter's chairman is

00:57:10outraged by Jinwoo's sudden

00:57:11appearance on the island.

00:57:13Having lost seven of their

00:57:14ten S-rank hunters, they

00:57:16decide to keep the remaining

00:57:17three safe.

00:57:18The ships wading off the

00:57:19island's shores are

00:57:20suddenly beset by swarms of

00:57:22ants running amok after

00:57:24their leader's deaths.

00:57:25The hunters on standby fight

00:57:27desperately to prevent any

00:57:28from reaching the mainland.

00:57:30Baek and the S-rank

00:57:31hunters make it to their

00:57:32waiting helicopter, but the

00:57:34panicked ants in the air

00:57:35pose a threat to their

00:57:36escape.

00:57:37Jinwoo stays behind in the

00:57:39queen ant's lair to

00:57:40eliminate any remaining

00:57:41eggs and magic ants.

00:57:43He's pleased that the

00:57:44unhatched eggs grant him

00:57:45experience, allowing his

00:57:47levels to rise as he

00:57:48finishes up.

00:57:49Upon reaching level 100,

00:57:51he prepares to extract the

00:57:52black ant's shadow.

00:57:54The attempt succeeds, but as

00:57:56the shadow emerges from a

00:57:57glowing egg, a strange

00:57:58darkness briefly envelops

00:58:00Jinwoo.

00:58:01Then, to his shock, it

00:58:02speaks no other shadow has

00:58:04ever done that before,

00:58:05stopping him in his tracks.

00:58:07The shadow ant beseeches its

00:58:08king for a name, and Jinwoo

00:58:10names it Beru.

00:58:12As they step outside, Beru

00:58:13reports that 4,000 magic

00:58:15ants are still on the loose.

00:58:17Jinwoo orders it to help

00:58:18eliminate them.

00:58:19Beru effortlessly slices

00:58:20through ant after ant, saving

00:58:22Jinwoo's friend Song just

00:58:24before a magic ant reaches

00:58:25him.

00:58:26Meanwhile, aboard the S-rank

00:58:28hunter's helicopter, Choi

00:58:29Jong-in and Lim Tai-gyu struggle

00:58:31against the swarming ants in the

00:58:33air.

00:58:34Just as they begin to lose

00:58:35ground, a beam of energy rips

00:58:37through the magic ants.

00:58:39It's Jinwoo, soaring atop his

00:58:42shadow dragon, Kaizal.

00:58:43The helicopter is clear.

00:58:45Thanks to the hard work of the

00:58:46hunters both on and off the

00:58:48island, the mainland remains

00:58:49safe, and the damage is minimal.

00:58:52While there were casualties,

00:58:53Chairman Goh notes that the

00:58:55major threat from Jeju Island

00:58:56has been neutralized.

00:58:58The raid is a success.

00:59:00Elsewhere in the ocean, another

00:59:01country's warships monitor for any

00:59:03stray magic ants.

00:59:04As the beasts appear on the

00:59:06horizon, they are single-handedly

00:59:08dispatched by a mysterious and

00:59:10cocky S-rank hunter with a

00:59:12ponytail and dual swords.

00:59:15A memorial service for Min Byung-gu and

00:59:17the other fallen hunters is held a

00:59:18few days after the raid.

00:59:20Jinwoo pays his respects, though the

00:59:22media covering the event speculates

00:59:24whether more lives could have been

00:59:25saved if he had been there from the

00:59:27start.

00:59:28A recovered Cha Hai-in also attends the

00:59:30service.

00:59:31Chairman Goh speaks with Jinwoo and

00:59:33asks about his plans for the future.

00:59:35Jinwoo reveals that he is considering

00:59:37creating a guild of his own.

00:59:39Inside the Queen Ant's lair on

00:59:40Jeju Island, a group of hunters

00:59:42explores the caverns for any

00:59:44remaining magic beasts.

00:59:46Suddenly, a monstrous man speaking a

00:59:48strange language steps out of the

00:59:50shadows.

00:59:51The hunters shout in alarm, then

00:59:52collapse.

00:59:53A second figure, blue-skinned with

00:59:55glowing eyes, emerges and remarks that

00:59:58he put them to sleep to silence the

00:59:59noise.

01:00:00The two mysterious figures discuss the

01:00:02powerful presence they sensed within

01:00:04the lair and how unusual it is that he

01:00:07is aiding humans.

01:00:09The hunt will proceed as planned, the

01:00:11blue-skinned man notes.

01:00:12As they depart, each opening a different

01:00:14portal, a man quietly watches them.

01:00:17Sung Il-Hwan, Jinwoo's father.

01:00:20Back on the mainland, the world's most

01:00:23powerful S-rank hunter rests his hands on

01:00:25the steering wheel while sitting in traffic.

01:00:27Meanwhile, Yu Jin-ho and Han Song Yi

01:00:30excitedly yell at Jinwoo over the phone,

01:00:33thrilled to hear that he's starting a new

01:00:35guild.

01:00:36Just then, Jinwoo's phone rings again.

01:00:38It's Chairman Goh, informing him that a

01:00:41B-ranked gate has opened on the freeway.

01:00:43Without hesitation, Jinwoo heads straight

01:00:45there and enters the gate solo to clear it.

01:00:48The gate turns red behind him.

01:00:50Unleashing the full might of his shadow

01:00:51army, Jinwoo loosens his tie and smirks.

01:00:54On to the next target, he says with a sly smile.
