- Synopsis
In this world, there are people with superpowers and limitless potential. However, some have used these powers for mass murder and countless crimes. Consequently, heroes emerged, tasked with capturing and eliminating these criminals. But when a new law was enacted by the female hero Laosa, aiming for a peaceful world without killing, it only allowed for capturing criminals without execution.
This turned out to be a grave mistake, as the world’s most notorious criminal, Hwang Seung-Hwan, posed the highest level of threat to Earth. He single-handedly wiped out the elite hero team Equality, with only one hero, Seo Kangyu, surviving.
Seo Kangyu managed to subdue Hwang Seung-Hwan and imprison him. Given his high danger level, Hwang was sentenced to death. Seo Kangyu, keeping his promise to his teammates, didn’t kill him initially. However, during the execution, Hwang killed all the guards and successfully freed other inmates. Among the killed guards was Seo Kangyu’s brother, driving him into madness and vowing to kill all criminals under the moniker “the executioner.” The great hero now became the strongest butcher.
- Review
The story mainly revolves around brutal and merciless slaughters between the main character and the villains. As the executioner, the protagonist will go on a frenzied spree of killing criminals. He will grapple with chaotic thoughts about his actions—unable to forgive those who murdered innocent people, yet conflicted with his hero ideology. This complexity might make the story hard to grasp initially, as many mysteries and unanswered questions will intrigue and captivate readers.
Later, the protagonist will face the strongest villains. These encounters are not just regular battles but also intense internal struggles. If you have a weak psyche and are not accustomed to such a bloody style, I advise you not to read this series or read it solely for its stunning artwork without delving deeply into the story. The plot is indeed crazy and not suitable for all readers. But if you enjoy bloody content and the wild nature of the characters, this is a series you cannot miss.
As mentioned, you can simply read the series to enjoy its breathtaking combat scenes. The artwork is meticulously crafted, from character design to battle scenes. It carries the distinct style of webtoons but ranks among the top-tier action webtoons.
