The Realm of Shadows Reborn
Within the depths of the Shadow Realm, a blinding surge of light merges with darkness, transforming the eternal void into a realm of living energy. Beru, Igris, and Bellion kneel as their Monarch reforms in full glory. Jin-Woo’s aura now radiates not just shadow, but divine brilliance — proof of his fusion with the very essence of balance. His Shadow Core has evolved into a Divine Shadow Heart, granting him dominion over both creation and destruction.
The World Reacts
As Jin-Woo reawakens, the human world feels the ripples of his return. Cha Hae-In experiences a vision of him surrounded by light and darkness intertwined, symbolizing rebirth. The Hunters Association, led by Thomas Andre and Go Gun-Hee’s successor, detects an unprecedented mana surge that dwarfs all previous readings. Humanity stands on the brink of awe and fear, knowing that the being who once protected them has become something far greater.
