Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound Chapter 160 Recap
Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound (철혈검가 사냥개의 회귀) follows Vikir, a loyal assassin raised by the cruel Baskerville family. After being falsely accused of treason and executed via a guillotine tainted with demonic energy, Vikir inexplicably regresses back to his infancy. Armed with his future knowledge, he vows to become the ultimate apex predator, planning to slaughter both the demonic forces that ruined the world and his own corrupt family before they can betray him again.
The recent chapters have thrown the Colosseo Academy into absolute chaos. Following a massive, coordinated demonic terrorist attack during the academy’s closing ceremony, the Headmaster was struck down, and the legendary artifact, the Winter Sword Orwell, was stolen. Chapter 160 focused heavily on the desperate, bloody struggle of the surviving students and faculty trying to hold the line against the overwhelming demonic incursion. Vikir, shedding his facade of an average student, has begun actively intervening, using his terrifying “Sword Hound” techniques to systematically hunt the invaders from the shadows.
Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound Chapter 161 Spoilers
Because this manhwa is a faithful adaptation of a completed Korean web novel spanning over 400 chapters, the overarching plot and future battles are already well-known to novel readers. Based on the novel’s progression for Chapter 161 (correlating to the start of the “Sin and Punishment” arc):
- The Demon’s True Form — Chapter 161 will likely open with a horrifying revelation regarding the demonic attackers. The mastermind behind the academy assault, the high-ranking demon Dantalian, will begin unleashing his true, grotesque power. He specializes in psychological torture and creating twisted abominations (like the “Nymphet”) designed to break the minds of the academy’s defenders.
- Dolores breaks — A major focus of the upcoming chapters will be on Dolores, the usually calm and collected Saintess. Upon seeing the horrifying creations orchestrated by Dantalian, Dolores will experience a massive psychological break. The sheer intensity of her rage and despair will cause her to unlock a terrifying new level of holy power, shedding her peaceful demeanor entirely.
- Vikir’s intervention — The chapter is expected to conclude with Vikir stepping directly into the path of the demon. Recognizing that Dantalian’s psychological attacks are highly effective against normal humans, Vikir—whose mind has already been hardened by decades of assassination and a brutal execution—will confront the demon head-on, completely immune to the monster’s fear tactics.

FAQ
Who does Vikir end up with?
A massive debate sparked in the comment sections regarding Vikir’s final romantic interest. Because the original web novel is fully completed, readers already know the outcome. Without spoiling the specific endgame details, the story heavily develops his relationships with several key female figures (including Aiyen, Camus, and Dolores) as he saves them from their original, tragic fates.
Will the Baskerville family find out how strong Vikir actually is?
Yes! A major overarching plot point is Vikir slowly revealing his true, terrifying strength to his family. However, he does this incredibly carefully. Instead of just showing off, he strategically unveils his power only when it allows him to completely dominate the family hierarchy and further his ultimate goal of destroying Hugo (the Patriarch).
