Numbered thirty-two within Solo Leveling's webtoon, this entry opens the duel against Kang Taeshik, who reveals his motive before overpowering an injured Jinwoo. Dubu supplies the art and Chu-Gong supplies the writing here.
Summary
With the fight about to start, Jinwoo coolly presses Taeshik for the reason he tortured and killed the rest. No warped justice drove him, and money played no part either. The sadist confesses he simply enjoys killing people far more than slaying magic beasts.
That open bloodlust sets off a system message carrying the very same quest Jinwoo got when the hostile band of hunters first turned on him.
Key Events
Joohee lays a buff on Jinwoo, who then moves in to strike Taeshik. The attempt backfires at once, as Taeshik mutilates him on the spot and leaves him badly weakened.
Notes
This installment is part of the Dungeon & Prisoners Arc and corresponds to Episode 9 of the anime, gathered into the third volume. Those who turn up on its pages include Kang Taeshik, Lee Joohee, Song Chi-Yul, and Jinwoo himself.
