Im not sure if they made some changes from the novel. I Remember that mc wanted to extract the hunters lifeforce/rank to save that kid's life, that was their punishment. And the mandrakes cave scene was more wholesome in the novel. I think they went speedrun or my memory sucks
Sorry, Its more about the changes of the manhwa and the original novel.
In the novel he didn't use his own mana to save the kid.
He used the hunters Life force/span to save/extend the kid life. The hunters stress and despair was written in a more satisfying way that make you question who the real villain is.
The manhwa version is confusing cause Why save the kid with his own "Mana" while extracting the hunters "mana" anyway?? Its makes him more like a hero (of justice) with a good personality.
It felt like a censorship of bad behavior..
So glad they changed the pork into mushroom im not vegan btw.
Was the original pork? Very Paras(ect).
In the Novel ==> spoilers
They killed a really large "pig" at ribbon kingdom by accident and it became a drop item. Everyone ate the pork without knowing the background of it. they changed that in the manhwa for a good reason.
