== Biography==
===Double Dungeon Arc ===
Inside a dungeon, Chi-Yul is seen fighting against some magical beasts. After the fight, he instructs his allies about the magical beasts before a man yells at them that a new gate is discovered.
Chi-Yul unleashes a fireball inside the cave to light up the place and continues his instructions about dungeons. He requests them to vote if they want to enter the dungeon to fight or not, with Joohee is one of them to deny, saying that she does not want to go. The team agrees to raid the dungeon with Jin-Woo the last one to vote. They come across a gigantic door. Chi-Yul pushes against them and enters an ancient room lighted by blue flames. Chi-Yul explores the place and stumbles across a pentagon-shaped design on the floor, questioning if it is a magical seal.
One of the hunters notifies him to come and take a look at a statue holding instructions written in runic text. As he reads the instructions, the door closes alerting the hunters. One of the members decides to leave but gets beheaded by one of the two statues guarding the entrance.
Jin-Woo yells at the team to duck after seeing that the largest statue sitting on a throne's eyes started to glow. This caused a few tragedies and made Chi-Yul lose his left arm. He requests Jin-Woo to stop his bleeding and questions what rank could the statue that fired the attack be. Jin-Woo questions if the "lord" in that the instructions mentioned that he read is the statue that fired the attack. 
One of the hunters declares that he will not die like this and makes his decision by making an attempt to leave the place by charging at the door. Chi-Yul tries to warn him but it is too late as the giant statue fires another beam, instantly killing the hunter, leaving his legs remaining

Jin-Woo questions if the "lord" in that the instructions mentioned that he read is the statue that fired the attack. 
The statue began to stand up and walk toward the survivors as his steps broke the floor. Another gets killed when he decides that they should still praise the "lord". The hunters began to run. One by one, the hunters are killed by the smaller statues holding weapons. Jin-Woo instructs everyone to go near the statues holding instruments. Chi-Yul tells the other to do the same upon going nearby one. He screams at Jin-Woo that he is going toward the wrong one, a statue holding a shield, leaving him to lose one of his legs. 
He cries terror as he witnesses the loss of many of his comrades. The group gathers together and sees the statue summoning a pillar in the middle of the room. Kim Sang-Shik points his sword at Chi-Yul at him, saying that it is his fault if they are stuck there. He agrees with Sang-Shik, as Jin-Woo tries to stop him. He walks on the pillar, which lights up the fire around with the rest of the survivors joining him. To their shock, the door is opened while the smaller statues start glowing and walk toward the center. As the survivors one by one, Chi-Yul asks Joohee if she can help, but she says that her legs are paralyzed. He tells her that is due to mana exhaustion after using too much mana trying to heal Jin-Woo. 
Agreeing with Jin-Woo to leave him behind, he knocks Joohee unconscious as she refuses to leave, before transporting her on his shoulder as he exits the dungeon, leaving Jin-Woo behind.
