Chapter 116 delves deep into the Garden operation, presenting not only the complexity of the mission to protect the legendary Alce Miteran, but also the growing internal conflict among the assassins themselves.

Yor Forger, McMahon, and Hemlock are tasked with crossing a demilitarized zone in search of the rare animal, but they encounter challenges that go far beyond poachers. The spotlight is on Yor, who not only deals with external chaos but also faces a shocking threat from someone who should be his ally.
The Garden Goes Into Action: Forest Mission Reveals Tensions Between Assassins
The chapter begins with the arrival of the trio of Yor, McMahon, and Hemlock at the dangerous DMZ. The wild environment soon proves as unpredictable as the team members themselves. While McMahon demonstrates familiarity with the area and introduces his spy bird, Keekee, Hemlock doesn't miss a chance to tease Yor about his home life. This tension, though masked by jokes and teasing, already hinted at something deeper brewing behind the scenes.
Yor, always trying to balance her double life between home and her profession as an assassin, firmly responds to suggestions that her marriage has weakened her. On the contrary, she believes the love she feels for her new family has only strengthened her resolve. Amid this verbal spat, the mission truly begins, and the three hide their vehicle before heading into the forest, beginning their search for the legendary Mithraic Elk.
Miteran Moose Hunt: Intense Action and a Twist in the Mission
Upon finally locating the Miteran Elk, the group stumbles upon a trap poised to capture the animal. Hemlock acts quickly to scare it away, but this backfires: the animal flees toward the hunters. Within seconds, the situation erupts into action. The poachers fire at the Elk, and the killers engage in combat to neutralize the threat. Every move is calculated, but chaos ensues nonetheless.
During the confrontation, McMahon rescues one of the hunters, hoping he can lead them to the enemy camp. Meanwhile, Yor tries to help the wounded Elk, but the animal reacts violently. Hemlock, increasingly impatient and driven by a killer instinct, proposes killing the Elk once and for all. However, McMahon reminds everyone that their mission is to protect him, suggesting they lead the creature to the river to ensure its survival.
Betrayal and Blood: Yor is surprised by Hemlock's attack
The chapter's most shocking moment comes right after the group's separation. With McMahon following the surviving hunter, Yor dedicates himself to calming the Elk. It is in this moment of vulnerability that Hemlock reveals his true colors. Without warning, he attacks Yor with lethal intent. His gaze is filled with bloodlust, and what was once a passing provocation becomes a concrete threat.
The clash between the two is not only physical, but symbolic. Hemlock represents the Garden's absolute coldness, while Yor struggles to reconcile his humanity with the brutality of the profession. His colleague's betrayal raises a new layer of complexity for the secret organization, suggesting that there's much more at stake than just official missions. Yor now needs not only to survive the attack but also to understand his companions' true interests.
