Jinwoo continues to progress rapidly through the Demon’s 6 Castle, climbing toward the top floor with the help of a demon noble who has agreed to escort the intruder if it means not having to fight him herself! Preoccupied with his personal quest, Jinwoo is unaware of the escalating threat outside the dungeon. The ant magic beasts that laid waste to Jeju Island are looking to relocate, and if they reach the mainland, all of Korea could fall. Will the combined S-ranks of Japan and Korea be enough to quell the swarm―and will Jinwoo be joining them?!

Chapter 76 to 89.
This volume contains the entire Return to demon castle arc.
The writer seem to be really inspired by Hunter x Hunter, the entire story is hunters fighting monsters and each other sometimes, and now we are coming up to an Ant arc too!
S Rank hunter Baek is really smart, he has figured out that sung jinwoo is becoming stronger by lvling up, he is doubting himself, because it never happened before, but it is happening.
i have become a victim of natural selection

Esil was really sweet and cute, but i am not sure if we will ever see her again, something i noticed, it said when he left the dungeon, that everything will return back to normal, does that mean he can go back for a second dagger of the demon king set?
The boss fight was tougher this time, after so many easy fights, only problem is the ending was underwhelming and unrealistic, to use commander touch to rip the hands of an opponent of this level is just really unrealistic i didn't like it.
It seems sung jinwoo just became so damn powerful that all S rank hunters can detect him from great distances, that retired hunter says, it's like the strongest two S rank hunters of the hunters guild fighting each other.
We can say that he is already International Level S rank hunter maybe stronger, since he did alarm Mr go and Baek and the retired hunter, while the international level hunter failed to do that.
But we will see, i am not sure of this estimation of mine, we need more data.
Most emotional scene in this manga by far, is jinwoo crying after he treated his mom from the eternal slumber disease, one sentence from her was all it took, he has been putting his life in extreme danger for years, just to pay her hospital bills.

توی این ولوم انقد اتفاقای عجیب و پشم ریزون میفته که فرصت نداری هضمش کنی
توی این مانهوا می‌فهمیم که کل این جنگ ها و مبارزات هیچ ربطی به غول ها و انسان ها نداره و  نبردی بین حاکمان و پادشاهان هستش. این ها دو نیروی روبروی هم هستن که قادر مطلق خلق شون کرده، اونم فقط به خاطر اینکه  یروز حوصله ش سررفته بود😐

Черговий чудовий том. Як же я люблю цей сюжет! Тут, правда, більше побічної історії і все закінчується жорстким кліфгенгером, але рівень з попередніми томами витримано. Як добре, що передзамовлення на том 7 вже відкрито.

Я в любові до цієї серії.

Березень 2025 Upd. Перечитала перед сьомим томом. Все ще прекрасно.

Favorite volume so far and I feel it will only get better

I liked all different plot lines and switching between them, I was excited to see what’s going on in all sides that I was not frustrated when the POV switched.

I have much more appreciation for every element in this manhwa now

The dialogue is so funny
Fight scenes are cool
The armors of S rank fighters , aaaaa so good
And so many beautiful panels of scenery, explosion, locations… all of them mesmerized me

⚠️SPOILERS⚠️

When he said ”COME FOURTH” to his shadow monsters to come against the demon army… I had CHILLS

This demon dungeon he was in was so cool story wise .. especially with the different kingdoms and when he teamed up with the demon princess with the purple hair . That was a wholesome moment

The situation of Jeju island is so exciting, and it did not disappoint.

I loooooooved the training part of all the S rank people, of course I have a soft spot for the Koreans.. ma people 😂😂

Alsooooo was so excited for Sung to show off his powers but they had to stop his duel.. no matter cuz I feel he’ll have to come to the rescue and help the strike squad … I’m so excited for them to tremble because of his power .

Oooo and his mom is finally awake, happy for the dude . Good son

This series is uneven, with every third volume so far being a clunker. This one is all set-up and asides as the hero spends half the book ripping through a practice run in a demon tower and then a boatload of new characters join pretty much every character who has ever been in the series in preparation for an assault on the island of monstrous ants that has been shown here and there throughout the previous volumes.

Looks like another predictable round of hunters getting in over their heads and our hero coming in to save the day. Ho-hum. I'm ready for the author to try a new plot sometime soon.

this volume has all the s-rank hunters coming together to test each other, which eventually leads to them forming a team to defeat these ant-like monsters. the fights are still entertaining and Jinwoo continues to be so OP in his quest of leveling up. I just wasn’t as invested in the beginning of this new arc.

Un finale molto toccante, finalmente il protagonista mostra il suo lato più "umano", così che il lettore possa empatizzare con lui. I disegni sono sempre strepitosi, ma la storia mi sembra ancora molto debole.

Tämä osa oli ihan okei. Riittävästi myös muutakin sisältöä kuin tappeluita pitääkseen mielenkiintoa yllä. Toki tappeluitakin oli, vähän rajalla että oliko liikaa mutta muut osuudet tasapainottivat tällä kertaa eivätkä ne haitanneet niin paljon vaikka niitä suhteellisen runsaasti olikin. Pidän kuvista, koska ovat suhteellisen selkeitä ja värikuvia. Ulkoasu houkuttelee lukemaan.

I will never stop gasping at Jinwoo’s level of OPness, never I tell you. This man just looks death in the face and smiles no matter what.

Jinwoo’s powers have magnified and on his quest for the one thing he went after from the beginning, he is oblivious to what is happening outside of the dungeon he’s currently in. At Jeju Island there’s ants who are planning on leaving the island and if they reach mainland, Korea could fall. Collecting S-ranks from Korea and Japan, they hope to defeat these monsters. The question is: is Jinwoo going to go with them?

I really enjoyed the different POV’s in this one—getting to see the other hunter’s and the fighting. The artwork is something I also enjoy while reading these volumes💥 can’t wait to read the next volumes to see what happens next💫

Happy reading ♥️

Chapter 82-97

This volume contains the return to demon castle arc and a bit of Jeju island arc.
The way Jinwoo cleared all 100 floors and defeated the final demon was magnificent. I love his shadow army so much!
The sparring between the S rank hunters was definitely interesting. I liked that they showed more of Jinwoo's family in this volume.
Can't wait to see Jinwoo's part in the Jeju Island arc.

I definitely understand why so many compare this to hunter x hunter now, there are many similarities, but it is still unique in some ways. This volume was a tad bit boring as there was a lot of information, a few side character intros, and a battle that was a tad bit underwhelming. I still love this manga as a whole though. ❤️

This was a great volume. Lots of new S-rank hunters introduced and great fight scenes. The Jeju Island plot feels like a rip off of the Chimera Ant arc from HxH. I'm liking Jeju Island more though.

PEAK. THIS IS PEAK. THE DEMON CASTLE BEING DEFEATED TO JINWOOS MOM WAKING UP TO THE PRACTICE GYM TO THE START OF THE JEJU RAID ARC. THE AMOUNT OF ACTION AND LORE IS INSANE. Sung Jinwoo was extra hot in this volume but was also very missed in the last couple chapters. I CANT WAIT TO READ ON

The ants give me the heebie geebies. Don’t like them. Also, Master Choi seems a little suspicious. Something about him bothers me. Why did they not send Jinwoo to Jeju Island????

Another year and another re-read of the series, I am loving the run through the series once again.

Re-read
I didn't lie when I said that I am flying through this book. Each book is more than 300 pages, and this is the sixth book I have finished in less than 2 days, and will be finishing more soon as well, so let's go and Keep on Reading.

Full Demon Castle Run and what a run it was, loved it. This has been just a wonderful series, and I love how powerful Sung is becoming, so let's carry on and Keep on Reading.

I have always loved comics, and I have I can. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more. You should also read what you love and hope always to love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I just want to Keep on Reading.
