Chapter 50

The chapter rewinds to the Double Dungeon Incident that first reshaped Jinwoo. Inside that ancient hall the floor quakes as the towering stone idol lifts a tall cylinder from the ground. Reading it as an altar built for sacrifice, Jinwoo feels his dread sharpen. Kim Sangshik pushes Song Chi-Yul to take the blame for the dead, yet Jinwoo silently decides the push to go deeper had been everyone's call, not one man's. Still wracked by guilt, Chi-Yul approaches the altar regardless, and blue flames burst upward, washing the chamber in an unsettling glow.

Returning to the present gate, Jinwoo reassures his sister Jinah and orders the group to never pry into who he is. A single huge Ice Bear then charges; he waves Park Heejin back, triggers the Wolf Slayer title to raise his stats, springs into the air, and caves in the beast's skull with one strike. While the others gawk, he perches on the dead bear as though it were furniture. Beyond the gate, Hwang Dongsoo studies the portal with mounting interest in Jinwoo. Afterward the hunters warm themselves by a fire of roasted bear meat, but Jinwoo slips off to drill in the cold. A low growl turns his gaze toward a cave, from which dozens of glowing-eyed Ice Bears stream out. The genuine challenge he had craved has finally come.

The Double Dungeon flashback reveals the altar rising, Chi-Yul stepping toward it, and blue flames igniting. Jinwoo commands the party never to question his identity. He triggers the Wolf Slayer title and fells a charging Ice Bear with a lone punch. The hunters then rest beside a fire of roasted bear meat. Training apart from them, Jinwoo finds a cave disgorging dozens of fresh Ice Bears.

Set in the Red Gate Arc, this entry lines up with anime Episode 13. It braids a Double Dungeon memory featuring Song Chi-Yul, Kim Sangshik, and Lee Joohee into the frozen present. Dongsoo's interest in Jinwoo intensifies from outside the gate, and the swarming bear den frames the bigger battle ahead.
