Synopsis

The chapter transitions from individual character analysis, focusing on the team's improved strength and agility, to the shocking revelation that the championship finals will not take place in a traditional dungeon. Instead, a simulated New York is under attack by monsters, complete with simulated citizens being targeted, which raises ethical concerns. The chapter introduces a new "invasion system" that includes powerful new monsters and a different kind of challenge, pitting teams against a chaotic field, and also a confrontation between Seomoon Yeop and his rival at the end.
