Summary[]
In the cave depths of the D-Rank dungeon, Jinwoo reunites with his former Strike Team from the Double Dungeon incident, Mr. Song, Joohee, Jeongho, and Kim Sangshik. Tensions persist with Kim, whom Jinwoo resents for leaving him behind in the Cartenon Temple, and while Kim feels remorse, he struggles with the idea of apologizing.
Goblins are mercilessly vanquished by the prisoner hunters who are loving it, overseen by their Hunters Association escort, Kang Taeshik. After the battle, Song comments on how Jinwoo has really gotten stronger, and how he has a nice new dagger now. Joohee notes Jinwoo's rare lack of injuries and hopes she they won't need her heals, but he reassures her, saying he still counts on her. Song, sensing a deep change in Jinwoo, notes the transformation goes beyond physical, visible in his unique aura. Joohee questions whether he's started practicing martial arts, but he conceals the true extent of his abilities, saying its because of daily exercises. Kang, growing impatient, urges the group to proceed.
At a dungeon fork with three paths, Taeshik proposes splitting up to speed up their quest, given the ease of their encounters so far. The team agrees, and Jinwoo, leveraging his high perception, identifies the boss's location and opts for the left path with Song and Joohee. Taeshik takes his prisoners down the right path leaving Kim and Jeongho the middle. As they diverge, Taeshik casts a thoughtful glance at Jinwoo, curiously, who notices.
Kim and Jeongho effortlessly dispatch the goblins they meet, Kim decapitating the last one in a swift slice. Kim comments that with the "Weakest Hunter" present, the dungeon must be low-risk, but Jeongho counters, noting Jinwoo's presence at the catastrophic double dungeon event. Considering Jinwoo's pivotal role in their survival that day, Kim finally decides to apologize for abandoning him after this dungeon, as it has been eating up at him. Jeongho questions the likelihood of forgiveness, but Kim is determined to apologize regardless.
As the convicted hunters ruthlessly dispatch the goblins, Taeshik observes them casually with his hands in his pockets as they kick a severed head at his feet. Taeshik provocatively questions the prisoners about their ability to kill humans as easily as they did goblins, to which they agree saying its all the same to them.
In the depths of a D-Rank dungeon, Jinwoo reunites with his former Strike Team from the Double Dungeon incident: Mr. Song, Joohee, Jeongho, and Kim Sangshik. Tensions remain, especially with Kim, who feels guilty for abandoning Jinwoo in the Cartenon Temple, but struggles to apologize.
The prisoner hunters, under Kang Taeshik's supervision, ruthlessly kill goblins and relish the violence. After the fight, Song notices Jinwoo’s increased strength and new dagger, while Joohee comments on his rare lack of injuries. Sensing a profound change in Jinwoo, Song notes that his transformation goes beyond just physical appearance, reflected in his unique aura. Joohee wonders if Jinwoo has taken up martial arts, but he downplays it, attributing it to daily exercise. Impatient, Taeshik pushes the group to continue.
Meanwhile, Taeshik watches as the prisoners brutally dispatch goblins and casually asks if killing humans would be just as easy for them. Just then, Kim and Kang witness the B-Rank hunter decapitating the final convict. Just then, Kim and Kang witness the B-Rank hunter decapitating the final convict.
