- Who does the enemy mean?

It's the queen.

- What is the queen like?

This is why the tower summoned the challenger, and it is likely that killing the queen will be the 'end of the tower' - the last trial.

- Then what happens if I kill the queen?

The tower said that the challenger will no longer be called, and everything will return to its original state.

- It goes back to the way it was...?

I just don't bring in any more challengers.

I didn't say all the power from the tower is gone. But I can't be sure.

Don't you like losing the power you gained from the tower?

Rather, I eagerly hope for it. How do I kill the queen?

Regardless of the number of floors, you can use the 'Last Borough’ ticket to move to the Queen's space.

Up to 12 people can enter and the power of 'Merchant War’ is required to kill her.

- What is Merchant War?

I see the invisible.

Break the indestructible.

It means the ability to break the rules of this kind.

Do you have something like this?

- There is. ‘See the Invisible’ and ‘Deal with the Unaddressable’.

Is it possible that the performer's scope was increased or that activation and deactivation were free?

- I don't know how, but I do. After gaining the ability to deal with things that could not be handled, I was able to deal with things that could not be handled by my will.

It seems to be a great help.

If my projections are correct, I think I can apply them elsewhere, not just to my skills.

Will you be a colleague?

- I will. If I can kill the queen that no challenger has succeeded so far, I think I can prove it.

What do you want?

“I know I can accomplish anything without magic. ”

Looking at Laban's unshakeable eyes, Yoon Seok avoided even his own eyes.

Obviously, I didn't lie about the answer just now, but.....

There was one thing I didn't say.

Not only that, but he didn't tell Ashton or Lee Soo-yeon.

It's not the end after killing the queen.

After that, Yoon Seok decided to destroy this tower as well.

And the reason I didn't say that to anyone is simple.

‘As soon as I take that word out of my mouth, I don't know what the tower will do to them. ’

“So what can I do now? ”

Laban, who decided to keep his strength unexpected, asked the same question as the previous King of Steel.

However, there was nothing he could do right now.

There's only one thing to choose from.

“You just have to do it like you do now. Be as strong as you can and come up to the 25th floor alive. ”

“It won't be easy knowing that there are rankers like you. ”

Laban made a weak sound, but it was clear that he would come up alive to the 25th floor.

It's true that many of the rankers are monsters....

He had the ability to counter most challengers.

It is strange to have two skills that have the ability to 'necessarily exist’ like yourself.

‘So there are seven spots left.... ’

Yoon Seok then asked Laban a few more questions.

His nickname, as you know, is "Heartshod."

From memory, it was definitely a nickname that ranked 14th.

“Reach the 25th floor and come to the Integrated Square Fountain three days later. If anything should happen before then, please say yes because we will be sending you a communication request under the nickname" Grape Jam. "”

“Let's do that. ”

“So are you, Steel King. ”

Yoon Seok looks at the Steel King, who was holding his ear with his little finger.

Then he felt his gaze and nodded.

“I will.”

I said that, but I felt that Yoon Seok had listened and answered me roughly.

“What did I just say? ”

“... Didn't I tell you to send a communication from the fountain? ”

“ ……. ”

Yoon Seok sighed without a sound.

And I explained it again.

Then I realized that the ‘communication’ function might not work for King Steel.

That dreadful body had the effect of ignoring all item effects.

“But since you're coming back here periodically, I'll contact you through Ragnar Hambldon to the Bernille Palace when something happens. ”

“Yeah, that 'd be great. I'll tell the finance minister. ”

Anyway, this concludes the approximate notice.

However, Yoon Seok did not dissolve here and asked the Steel King a further question.

I've heard from Laban, but I haven't heard what kind of power the Iron King has yet.

“Merchant War..... I think there were a few things in common. ”

“Could you tell me something similar? ”

“… I don't remember. ”

“ ……. ”

“Oh, but it's definitely there. Break the indestructible. I liked it because it looked cool even when I pretended. I don't know what changed. ”

“ ……. ”

Yoon Seok became increasingly speechless.

Well, when there are dozens of skills, things can happen that don't remember each effect....

“How many skills? ”

“Probably three individuals. ”

“Maybe?”

“I don't remember very well. ”

‘I don't remember whether the skill is three individuals or not..? ’

Yoon Seok felt an unknown gloom in his heart.

What is this? It's not a hearing.

If I ask you something, you'll get an answer.

How the hell did you get up here? ’

I don't know, but Yoon Seok carved a patient human being in his chest while breathing.

‘Yes, you don't say you don't know it maliciously.... ’

I'd rather have a bad head than an evil one.

Yoon Sook went back to the waiting room at a later time and asked if he could write down all of his abilities and send them to Hambledon very carefully.

Disclosure of details is not only a duel ranker but also a sensitive part for ordinary challengers…….

If he did not do this, King Steel would not be able to explain what abilities he had in his lifetime.

“Let's do that. ”

As expected, King Steel said yes with ease.

“How could he be the king of one country? ”

Laban kicks his tongue and says,

The inner color did not change, but Yoon Seok also empathized with the words.

I thought I could already understand the grievance of a 'financial agent’ who had been mentioned several times but had not yet seen his face.

“Anyway, is it over? ”

“Laban, you have one last question. ”

“What is it?”

Yoon Seok scratches his back neck as he looks at Laban with his head tilted.

It may be a little sensitive question but…….

I don't know about the Muscle Steel King, but I had to ask this silly man.

“What about strength and endurance? ”

Because the stronger a colleague is, the better.

* * *

Unlike the slim body shape, Laban's strength was an SS rank.

Training using infusion muscles is therefore unnecessary.

However, Yoon Seok had a bad taste. Then Laban asked, looking at such a shin stone.

“... so why did you ask me that? ”

“If the strength level was low, there was a way to help. ”

“No way, can you increase the strength of others? ”

Yoon Seok nodded and said Laban was amazingly small.

And he laughed at his head and added,

“... I can't feel a thing without your help. No, I think I'm lucky. ”

“... I'm sure it's because of the mood. ”

“Yes, I do. ”

Intuition is created through unconscious experience.

So Yoon Seok believes in his own instincts.

But you're lucky you lost the chance to boost your strength for free?

This was clearly to blame for the mood.

“Anyway, don't forget. ”

“Yeah, I'll be on the 25th floor in three days. I'll see you in the square.”

Yoon Seok nods as if he is strong looking at Laban. Unlike the Iron King, who seems to have to care about his side all the time, he seems to be able to get up to the 25th floor without any problems.

Hooooooooooo!

Later, Laban said he had to go to the expedition for the rest of the day until the duel, and only then did Yoon Seok ask the King of Steel.

“But why did he come? ”

I met him by accident and he recruited me as a colleague....

What did King of Steel and Ravan Vargas do here?

Later I wondered why.

However…….

“Maybe.”

The Iron King didn't know.

Then I wanted to know what the hell I knew, but I heard that he arrived soon and this side didn't hear it.

“Well, I guess you came to cover up a bad fight last time. ”

It was Yoon Seok who wanted to say that not everyone in the world was like you, but he was patient.

Later, when I returned to the tower, I made sure to write down the information on the tablet and send it back to the tower several times.

356: 41: 19 until the next duel.

I checked the time, and there's about a full day left until the next duel.

Approximately ten days left for the penalty to end.

‘What do I do now...? ’

Yoon Seok, who has been using his time efficiently, seems to feel obsessed for the first time.

There are a few things left on the list to do before the duel, but even this should all be over, but only the ones that can be penalized.

During that time, I tried to meet King Steel, but I had no time to find him.

Well, it won't be bad to go back to Earth and get ‘students’ like this..

Somehow I don't like it.

‘Let's practice swordsmanship in just a few minutes.... ’

Yoon Seok made a decision within a week.

For the remaining 10 days until the end of the penalty, I decided to practice swordsmanship that I had rarely practiced lately.

‘I think I've been trying to solve it with more power than a sword lately. ’

Pulling Strength.

The fullness of a strong body that seems to be able to do anything.

And it's not a contemporary gesture, it's a pleasure to break through challenges in a simple, ignorant way.

To be honest, this is not bad, but Yoon Seok's main weapon was a sword, no matter who said it.

‘.. I've been trying to eat it too easily these days. ’

Yoon Seok reflected on himself.

High abilities, and unique skills beyond specification.

Of course, these are the precious weapons of the undeniable Yoon Seok.

However, Yoon Seok had seen swordsmanship that transcended these.

A few times, too.

‘If it had been him, we wouldn't have had to solve it with such power. ’

King Steel has invalidated the many skills and powers that Yoon Seok has.

What was needed to defeat him was not a sword, but a body that was crucified with a high skill.

But what if it was a thousand horses?

‘.. You must have won easily with a sack of sword. ’

You can only see it when you're fighting a thousand dollars.

For a thousand horses, abilities or skills and powers were merely a means of assisting the sword.

Nevertheless, the tower was rated higher by thousands of horses than those of the Iron Kings or Laban Vargas.

* 1st place, Thousand Mazl Zone (SSS +) Murim.

Suddenly, Yoon Seok wondered.

The duel's top ranking is 13 in total.

And none of them has any information about other people except the thousand dollars, which is assumed to be using the nickname "Raw Fire."

‘But if you think the ranking hasn't changed from the 20th floor to the 14th floor, then there's that special wall between the 1st and 14th. ’

Certainly the special wall is something intangible, such as the sword of a thousand horses, rather than technology or abilities. Yoon Seok guessed.

The Thousand Dollars were not just fighting with skills and abilities.

‘... If you want to fight the Queen or the Tower, you must at least be on the same level as them. ’

Is it because you blew up a long time with a penalty?

Yoon Seok felt impatient.

I also knew that the more I did this, the more I had to go back slowly in search of beginners.

“ ……. ”

Yoon Seok closed his eyes.

And I took out the uncomfortable parts that I had been turning my back on.

‘... I actually felt the wall after I quit my swordsmanship training. ’

Yoon Seok absorbed water like a cotton that sucks the water of a clan that sees anything, but...

From when did I start to feel the wall?

And it grew in size every time it crossed, and it became increasingly burdensome to cross the wall step by step.

‘Cause I'm running out of time. ’

It's been less than a year since I held my sword.

This is a tremendous achievement, and one day you might be able to glimpse the horizon of a thousand horses if you only had the time.

But I didn't have time.

The end was slowly approaching, and I was forced to meet more and more strong men.

So Yoon Seok grew up paying more attention to other parts than the sword.

But.....

‘Was there really not enough time..? ’

If time was a problem, somehow I should have tried to make time.

But I didn't.

I knew instinctively.

It's easy to get here with your natural talent, but...

And then you need something you can't explain with your talent.

‘... Okay, let's do it. ’

Yoon Seok opens his eyes and pulls out his sword.

One day his eyes were shining lively.

Like in those days when I first came into the tower.
