The author has been cookin! all the drugs they took must've paid off. Other than backstory dark pasts stuff we have to deal with actual death pools, corpses and human experimentations in the present too. Feels like a turning point.
Also Youngwoong. feels like a waste of opportunity to build him up to be a proper villain in the end. his motivations and ideals would've been great. but I guess we still be focusing on mysterious jiu dae gak. since he ded now.
funny how the author just sides by side the slice of life everyone is having, showing the vibe they had in the first few chapters to now this! where things can actually get dangerous to the point of dying and nearly dying.
First time we see Maria got beat badly too and fuckin Hell Ji Tae isnt letting up. using skulls and corpses as weapons now. fearage is really something to behold. I wonder how merciless he will be in the octagon soon.
