The chapter shifts focus to a Korean S-Ranked hunter who arrives in Russia, determined to defeat the Arctic Monster, an SSS-ranked entity that obliterated a Russian base, caused widespread radioactive contamination, and led to war. He is initially met with hostility and disbelief from Russian officials, who don't believe he can survive in the radioactive zone. The chapter also reveals a character with a powerful regenerative ability being relentlessly attacked, and seemingly having mental struggles. This sets up a challenge to the main character’s capabilities against the world's most powerful monster.
