Revenge has always been a powerful theme in battles, and some of the most intense fights have been driven by a deep need for justice or payback. In a world filled with monsters, betrayals, and deadly hunters, grudges are bound to form, leading to unforgettable clashes.
Sung Jin-Woo’s rise from a weak and ridiculed hunter to the strongest being was not without hardship. He encountered enemies who sought to crush him, betrayals that nearly cost him his life, and moments when his sheer determination to get stronger was fuelled by past wrongs.
Some fights were personal, while others were necessary to set things right. The battles that carried the weight of revenge were not just about strength but also about proving a point.

Sung Jin-Woo vs. Hwang Dong-Su
One of the most personal revenge fights was against Hwang Dong-Su, a powerful S-rank hunter who was cruel and arrogant. Hwang held a deep grudge against Jin-Woo after the disappearance of his brother, Hwang Dong-Seok, who had met his end in a failed attempt to kill Jin-Woo.
Blinded by anger, Hwang Dong-Su tried to eliminate Jin-Woo’s allies, capturing and torturing Yoo Jin-Ho to draw him out. This act pushed Jin-Woo to his limits, turning what could have been a straightforward battle into a fierce act of vengeance.
Jin-Woo did not just defeat Hwang; he overwhelmed him completely, proving that their strength was worlds apart. Unlike other fights where he aimed to finish the enemy quickly, this battle was different. Hwang Dong-Su had made things personal, and Jin-Woo made sure he felt the consequences of his actions.
Every strike was a statement, showing that there were consequences for underestimating the wrong person. The moment he stood over Hwang’s broken body, there was no doubt that this was more than just a simple victory—it was justice.
Sung Jin-Woo vs. the Frost Monarch
Among all the revenge battles, the fight against the Frost Monarch stood out as one of the most emotional. The Frost Monarch played a key role in an attack that led to the death of Go Gun-Hee, the president of the Hunter’s Association and one of the few people Jin-Woo respected.
This loss triggered one of the most ruthless battles, with Jin-Woo showing no hesitation in taking down the enemy responsible. The Frost Monarch, despite his strength, never stood a chance once Jin-Woo decided to eliminate him.
This was not just about a battle between two powerful beings—it was a message that no one could take away the people Jin-Woo cared about without facing the consequences.
The level of aggression in his attacks made it clear that this was not just another enemy to defeat but a target that needed to be completely erased. With no room for mercy, Jin-Woo crushed the Frost Monarch, ensuring that his vengeance was carried out without compromise.
Sung Jin-Woo vs. The Architect
The Architect played a major role in Jin-Woo’s transformation but also had a hidden agenda. After granting him the System, the Architect attempted to manipulate and use Jin-Woo for his own plans.
When the truth came to light, there was no room for negotiations—Jin-Woo had to end him. This fight was not just about power but also about breaking free from control and proving that he was no longer a pawn in anyone’s game.
Unlike other battles where the enemy at least had a fighting chance, the Architect was utterly outclassed. Every move Jin-Woo made was calculated, ensuring that the one who had once tried to control his fate was left with no way out.
The defeat of the Architect was more than just revenge—it was the final step in Jin-Woo’s journey to becoming truly independent. With the System’s creator gone, no one could dictate his future anymore.
Sung Jin-Woo vs. The Monarchs
The war against the Monarchs had many revenge-driven battles, but one of the most satisfying moments was when Jin-Woo took on multiple Monarchs at once. These beings had looked down on him, believing he was just another obstacle in their path.

Each Monarch he faced met a fate worse than the last. He did not just defeat them; he made it clear that they had made the mistake of underestimating the wrong opponent.
The destruction he left behind was a reminder that those who had caused pain and suffering would never escape without facing the consequences. This was more than just a battle for survival—it was payback for every life lost due to their arrogance.
Revenge fights always carry more weight than regular battles, and in Jin-Woo’s case, they often meant complete annihilation for his enemies. Whether it was personal vengeance or justice for those who had been wronged, each of these fights delivered some of the most satisfying moments.
Those who underestimated him learned the hard way that actions had consequences, and when Sung Jin-Woo decided to take revenge, there was no escape.
