Synopsis

The chapter opens with the protagonist reflecting on his strained relationship with JungHyeok, noting his increased power level compared to the novel's timeline. He then shifts focus to the looming threat of Pildu Gong, whose seemingly 'evil' actions fail to trigger the protagonist's 'evil-target' skill, forcing him to reconsider his assumptions about morality. The protagonist and his companion then strategize to defeat Pildu Gong by luring him out of his heavily fortified territory, which is the largest room in Chungmuro.
