“Then why skip the seventh floor and the eighth? ”

Dragon Hoe questioned it a long time after the story about the treasure chest first came to pass. In the meantime, Dragon not only wrote a reply to the furious king, but also sent Gardi away.

In fact, it was not strange to take a step back and think about it. Just that the treasure chest was on the eighth floor. There was no correlation between the layers of the greedy labyrinth and the current lava being secured to the sixth floor.

But Yongho asked a question because Amon didn't tell us anything about the seventh floor. He was always referring to the next floor when he secured the sixth floor.

Amon postponed his answer, saying that he would find out soon, and it was just as he had said. Soon after arriving on the seventh floor with the serving horses, Amon did not explain the seventh floor.

‘Just in case. ’

The dragon smiled bitterly and looked at the large door in front of the stairs leading from the 7th floor to the 8th floor. On the steel door itself, the magnificence was embossed the head of an impressive bull, a raised horn, and the words "Mamon's Arena" were written on the wall next to it.

“Well, that subtly disappointing look. ”

“No, I'm not disappointed. ”

No wonder Dragon Hoe shrugged his shoulders in front of Gu Zion, looking around Sa Sam once more. Yongho is standing near the entrance to the Arena. It was a ‘real entrance’, not a passageway through which the beast mask was guided by a man.

The door was as big as the inside of the hallway. Once the ceiling was high, the hallway was about ten meters wide.

There were many statues on either side of the hallway that were depicted with great accuracy, but the familiar faces were quite familiar.

A giant steel mill and a seemingly pitiful dragon, perhaps, in Centaurus, were convinced by the bitter-eyed beauty statue in the middle. The statues depict the floor masters of the Arena.

Dragon Hoe turned to the statue of Gu Zion at the end of the hall and at the end of the hall. I smiled secretly.

“Is this what it feels like to enter the Arena through the front gate? ”

The floor masters of the Arena were not confined to the humanoid form. Dozens of statues, including several monsters and giants, were slaughtered in the corridor. If you're weak, you'll shrink just by entering the Arena.

Following the dragon's gaze, Gu Zion looks at her statue and smiles cheerfully.

“Yes, the passageway that Little Nari has entered so far is a hole. ”

It was a hole in the expression. Dragon Hat tilted his head to the side and looked behind the back of Gu Zion. The scenery of the Arena unfolds before your eyes.

“But the egg blindness is the same. ”

“Then it would be different for them. ”

Dragon Hoes and the Old Zion, who exchanged stories, continue to move inside the Arena. The rules that at least one of the groups who visited the Arena had to challenge the Arena also apply to those who entered through the gate.

I did not feel the burden of Dragon Hoe, who had already become one of the everyday battlefield challenges. Everyone seemed relaxed because they had already visited the Arena several times.

The only people who looked around were Salami and Buquepalos, surprised.

Dragon Hoe, situated at a special spectacle in Gu Zion, asked.

“There aren't many dungeon monsters around, so I was wondering if you could wander around on the seventh floor freely? ”

There were hardly any dungeon monsters on the 7th floor that were tightening the other floors. The slightly anticipated question of dragon lagoons shook his head.

“A chariot horse in the Arena never leaves the Arena. The absence of dungeon monsters is probably due to the powerful construction system that makes up the Arena. Should there be too much distortion, so small distortions vanish naturally? Dungeon monsters are introduced through the warp created by the dungeon, so there is no way to appear unless the warp itself is created. ”

“A big wave absorbs small waves? ”

“It's roughly similar. ”

After answering Gu Zion, the conversation was interrupted for a moment. Even for a few seconds, Gu Zion, who still had the same fat expression as the first time, tapped the handle of the special seat with his fingertips a few times. I said in passing tours.

“Isn't that a little harsh? ”

“What?”

I looked back at Gu Zion as if the dragon was talking, and Katarina, who was sitting next to the dragon, also sliced her ears and blinked her eyes. On the other hand, Kaiwan covered his mouth and smiled small as if he knew something.

Gu Zion said.

“No, if you tell them I'm on the 39th floor, they'll have to come up with a challenge ritual. The last time you were here, you went right back. The flow of time is subtle here, but I can tell that little Nari is not in a hurry. ”

“Is that why you're so sad? ”

When Dragon Hoe asked jokingly, Gu Zion turned her head to look away for no reason. It was originally red skin, Turra Tea, but thanks to Eligos and Ophelia, I knew the Red Daemon well. It was only a short time before I could see that Gu Zion was embarrassed.

In fact, I was eager to acquire the Dragon Horde Arena. However, there were good reasons not to sell out only in the Arena.

First, the Arena was still useful to Dragon Hoes.

I wasn't just referring to Mamon's Magic Power and Clear Rewards, which you get when you break through each floor of the Arena.

The Arena allowed Dragon Hoes to experience 'fighting’.

The quickest way to build your evolutionary skills was to experience combat. Thanks to the Arena, Yongho has been able to rapidly and repeatedly use the power of evolution.

Moreover, the Arena has allowed Dragon Hoes to experience various battles. The Arena was a true report of experience, mixed with monsters, giants, and strong Humans. Dragon has been able to learn various combat patterns by fighting them, and vice versa.

Stupidly stamping the floor masters with their magic was something you couldn't get by magically crushing them on the 25th floor to find out the maximum amount of new magic you'd acquired.

The second reason was the growth of slave laborers.

It was the same for the slave laborers that the Arena was a report of experience. The reason for allowing the slave laborers to challenge the Arena, despite the great dangers, was there.

The value of evolutionary power was more than Yongho for those working slaves whose water intake efficiency was not so good. Acquiring the Arena was important, but the growth of the slave laborers was more important than that. I needed to maintain a little more of the Arena for the prisoners.

‘Of course, the Arena is not comfortable enough to receive it as soon as they want. ’

I wasn't going to say anything about defeating the 25-story floor master, Yukrazion, but Dragon meant it.

The higher you go, the stronger the calibration of the Arena becomes. Not only did you strengthen the floor masters, but now you're starting to hit the dragon's power in reverse.

Due to the nature of the Arena, which is rapidly increasing difficulty by 10 floors, it was more likely that after 30 floors, magical power alone could be overwhelmed.

And the battle wasn't just about magic. Dragon's Walk has proven this. The dragon-ho's enemies have always been more magical than the dragon's. But in the end, it was Yongho who won.

The third and final reason was time.

There was a time when the flow of time flowed faster than I thought in other arenas. Staying in the arena at an unknown time was a significant risk in terms of the dragon lagoon that must be tactile in the outward changing time zones.

There was still a time limit for a summit with the Furious King. I couldn't spend time alone in the Arena.

As Yongho tried to explain his reasons, Gu Zion became even more embarrassed, and Kaiwan bit his lips to endure the laughter.

‘But we can't delay it forever. ’

The arena's power was great. The threat of seeing the king of the appetites disappeared, but there remained a king of arrogance, jealousy, and greed in the north. The king of violence could not know what was in it, nor could the king of fury be a complete ally.

Once I secured the alliance with the King of Fury, I decided to spend some more time in the Arena from then on.

“So you want the treasure chest on the eighth floor? ”

Gu Zion, who burst his cough several times as if he was hiding his embarrassment, switched the topic. Dragon took it easy.

“For now, I intend to. Money problems will be solved in no time. ”

It was the treasure chest of the ‘king of greed’, which could be called the incarnation of ownership and no one else. It was clear that an enormous amount of treasure was piled up like a mountain.

Gu Zion nods slowly.

“Obviously, a little lord like you could open the door. ”

“Open the door? ”

“Eighth floor - Richard's the one guarding Nari's treasure chest, to be exact. Did Amon tell you about him? ”

[No specific explanation has been made yet.]

[I'd like you to take over for me, Old Zion.]

Amon's answer comes back from the flames of the blooming crimson. Gu Zion nodded lightly and said to Yongho again.

“The Lion, Richard the Silent Warrior. ”

12 Servants were legends of the mystic world. Katarina and Kaiwan, as well as Tigris, focused on the story of Gu Zion with curious eyes.

“He's strong. We will be among the top 12 ministers. If you only discuss physical strength, you will appeal to me. ”

It wasn't self-indulgence. The reason why the name of Gu Zion is' super-strength 'is because he possessed the strongest physical ability among the 12 ministries. 12 When we discussed the strongest among the ministers, we were always referring to him as the strongest of the ministries.

“He is as silent as his name suggests. It's not that I can't speak at all, but I've hardly heard the voice of anyone who has gone through all kinds of hardships together. Anyway, he's too quiet and clumsy. And they're almost as devoted to their work as they are to it. ”

At the end, I saw a small smile. It reminds me of many of Richard's memories.

Gu Zion closed her eyes one time and opened them. I pushed away the memories and saw the present.

“Richard is the crest of the treasure chest. That's why he doesn't care if a qualified person goes back and forth to the treasure chest. He only lifts his weapon when he encounters an unjust intruder. ”

In short, Dragon Hoe was able to sense what Richard was like. The words of the Old Zion followed.

“As he is, it is unlikely that he has prepared something like a trial or test. Even when you were alive, you didn't make anything like that. Therefore, whether or not a treasure chest can be opened will be judged. ”

“Is opening the door a test? ”

“Sort of. It won't be easy for even a small man now. It's not just a door you can open if you're magically strong. ”

Once there, Gu Zion stood up and urged the dragon to hurry.

“You know the rules of the Arena, don't you, Amon? At least one of your party must challenge the Arena. Hurry up if you're busy on your way. ”

Dragon Hoe leads the mercenaries to the Arena beneath the stairs at the base of Gu Zion. As I do not have time to waste on the words of the Old Zion, one of the slave laborers who is still in the lower floors was a challenge to the floor master.

As the dragon-ho and the enslaved horses were separated, only the rituals of the Old Zion and Amon remained in the special spectacle. It was Amon who opened the speech first.

[You're not rushing this.]

Dragon has defeated the king of the appetizers. Since the last thousand years, I've been closer to the king of greed than anyone else in the Mamon family.

Nevertheless, Gu Zion did not insist on dragons. It was a different story than mining mixed with scolding to conquer the Arena as soon as possible.

What Mamon was worried about. Why he did not allow the truth about his death to be told to those who did not deserve it.

Gu Zion shrugged her shoulders with a bitter face.

“It's been a long time since I could feel the flow of time in the subtle arena. I haven't forgotten that day, but I can't hold a grudge forever. ”

Amon sets a silent fire. Najik whispered.

[So much time has passed.]

[Too much time...]

“Yes, Mamon Nari did not think it would take so long for a new king of greed to emerge. ”

It was more than a thousand years old. As Amon said, so much time has passed.

“You said the Asclepios guy was crazy, right? ”

His voice sank. Amon answered with a question.

Are you worried about Richard?]

The Old Zion could not be denied. But then I told myself and Amon both:

“He'll be fine. He's like a stone that won't change after a thousand years. Even if he hasn't fallen asleep like you or Skazaha... Even if he's been awake all that time, he'll be fine. ”

The madness was enough for Asclepios. I didn't want to imagine any more tragedies.

“Here we go. Is this Kaiwan? ”

Gu Zion said in a cheerful voice. Amon respected his friend's wishes. Instead of referring to the story of Mamon's 12 ministers, I focused on Kaiwan's match.
