Synopsis

The chapter reveals that Han Myung-Oh's capture was deliberate, a ploy to buy time for the Duke's true plan. Kim Dokja deduces this based on the Duke's nature and concludes that a powerful fighter was expected to appear. He then encounters and identifies two new enemies, Marquis Ostheon and Marquis Kuartethor, both of whom appear to be stronger than typical executioners. Kim Dokja activates his Fable, 'Age of a Conqueror', implying he is preparing for a major confrontation.
