Synopsis

The chapter opens with the protagonist narrowly surviving a devastating blast, which triggers a skill upgrade, transforming 'Fortified Skin' into the significantly stronger 'Magic Armor'. This prompts the protagonist to recall the antagonist, Yunseong, who murdered his wife and daughter in his previous life. The antagonist appears, taunting the protagonist with his memories and past actions before a fight ensues, with the protagonist's companions planning to take on the antagonist's weaker subordinates while the protagonist focuses on the main threat.
