Why Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound Chapter 162 Matters
Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound recently returned from a hiatus earlier this year and has been dropping incredibly intense chapters. Vikir has been navigating the political and physical threats within the Academy, secretly operating as the vigilante “Night Hound” to hunt down the disguised demons that are infiltrating society.
What makes this moment so powerful? According to recent fast-scan community updates, Chapter 162 is titled/teased as “Resuming Duties” and “An Unnatural Battle”. Following the massive clashes in recent chapters, Vikir’s dual identity is under immense pressure. He has to balance his obligations as an “average” student while secretly exterminating some of the most dangerous entities in the world.
Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound Chapter 162 Spoilers
Because the manhwa is directly adapting a completed 493-chapter Korean web novel, readers on spoiler forums already know the trajectory of the upcoming chapters. (Note: Manhwa chapters sometimes condense multiple novel chapters, but the major plot beats remain the same).
The Unnatural Battle
Spoilers for the corresponding novel chapters (specifically Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound Chapter 162 of the WN, titled “Sin and Punishment”) indicate that Vikir will engage in a brutal confrontation. As the Night Hound, he has been tracking down high-ranking demons hiding among the elites. Chapter 162 will feature a highly tactical, bloody fight where Vikir has to use his combined Baskerville sword aura and Balak archery to dismantle an opponent who possesses “unnatural” demonic abilities.
Resuming Duties
While the night belongs to the Sword Hound, the day belongs to Vikir the student. The chapter is expected to balance the violent action with the tense, ongoing political drama of the Academy. Fans anticipate seeing Vikir casually returning to his “duties” right after a bloodbath, interacting with key characters like Camus and Sinclair without blowing his cover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the main love interest?
Unlike many manhwa with a single definitive female lead, Vikir’s story features multiple highly capable female characters (Camus, Aiyen, Sinclair) who all play massive, distinct roles in his life and his revenge plot.
When does Vikir finally confront his father, Hugo?
Hugo von Baskerville, the patriarch who executed him in his past life, remains the ultimate boss of Vikir’s revenge plot. Their final clash occurs much later in the story, as Vikir must first completely dismantle the demonic forces manipulating the empire.
Are there any other manhwa like this?
If you love the “ruthless regressor seeking revenge against their own corrupt family” trope, you should absolutely check out Swordmaster’s Youngest Son or The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life.
