Beru might be a general rank at the moment but was originally a powerful beast created to kill hunters, so even though shadow soldiers became weaker than when they were alive once they were extracted, Cha Hae-In wasn’t a fair match for him if he went all out.

However, the fight escalates, and Jinwoo steps in to stop Beru.
