Although YuWon was eager to see the outco, he decided to leave. Yeji knew about everything as much as he did. Now he wanted to see what she'd do to please him without any interference from his side.
Consider it a test, dear sister.
With that, he walked out of the complex. The others greeted him outside. Lilith asked him where they were headed next, but YuWon shook his head.
"So of you will stay behind," he announced. "Soo-Ah, and Min-Joon, you'll co with . The rest will stay behind."
The mont the words left YuWon's lips, Gina jumped before him. She was furious. How could he leave her behind while taking another woman along? YuWon smiled and pulled her in, gently coaxing her.
"Stay behind for now. I need you to keep an eye on things for ," he said, patting her head. "When I return, we can finally start working on those kids you've been dreaming about."
Gina's face flushed, and she quickly buried her face in his shoulder. Nodding shyly when YuWon asked if she could wait for him. However, the true reason was sothing else.
Lilith had inford YuWon of the turmoil within Soo-Ah's heart. Since Soo-Ah was a crucial piece in his plans, YuWon was determined to bring her fully under his control.
However, acting on those intentions while Gina was around was out of the question. His crazy goblin would kill Soo-Ah even if YuWon took advantage of her.
As for Lilith, YuWon had a different task in mind. To ensure Joon beca an asset, she was assigned the mission of taming him—by any ans necessary. YuWon knew Lilith was the ideal candidate for the job. After all, when she chose to be, she could be exceptionally... persuasive.
Lilith understood YuWon's plan and didn't hesitate as the trio walked away toward the Namsan Tower.
***
As they walked towards the Namsan Tower, YuWon was busy scanning the [Special Store]. Since Joon wasn't with them anymore, no god's eye was following them, giving YuWon the perfect opportunity to arm himself.
He wasn't planning on dealing with the anomaly himself, but he still wanted a weapon. Sothing that would complint his titles. In other words, he wanted an unconventional weapon.
Just then, sothing caught his eye.
[Formless Blade], I wonder what it is.

Price: 99,999 gold 20% of the user's stat points (including unallocated stat points).
The price was weird. Since YuWon had hundreds of thousands of gold, he didn't bat an eye on it. The problem was the additional price of 20% of his stats.
It was the first ti he had seen such a strange pricing system. However, it was the perfect weapon for him, so he begrudgingly bought it. But instead of a weapon, he received a fist-sized vial.
Curious, YuWon uncorked the vial and saw a liquid gold-like substance swirling inside. Suddenly, the liquid jumped out of the vial and began orbiting his face.
YuWon was confused, unsure of what was happening, until the liquid suddenly seeped into his skin. A strange warmth spread through him as the liquid disappeared.
Startled, he read the weapon's description and realized it would change according to his will.
YuWon raised his hand and envisioned a longsword. Instantly, a gleaming golden blade materialized in his hand. With a thought, he transford it into a dagger, then a bow, and even sothing as small and absurd as a toothpick.
The weapon responded flawlessly, shifting into any shape or form he imagined. While he was testing the weapon, a skeleton ca running back, pointing ahead with its bony fingers.
"We're here," Soo-Ah comnted.
As they approached the tower, more people appeared in sight. One would've thought they were having a picnic there if it wasn't for their bloodied and gloomy faces. Enjoy new stories from mvl
Further ahead, YuWon could see a few people arguing with a group wearing dieval armor. The armored guys had ford a chain around the Tower's entrance. It seed they weren't letting anyone inside.
"What's going on?" Min-Joon asked.
"It seems soone's got greedy," YuWon replied.
"They want the reward for themselves?" Soo-Ah asked.
YuWon nodded. Although it didn't happen in his past life, he had expected sothing like this. In a lawless world, strength was everything. Since clearing quests was the quickest way to get strong.
It was only natural that so would seek to hoard that power, ensuring others couldn't rise to challenge them. However, their plan won't work.
YuWon already knew the anomaly of the Namsan Tower was a boss monster adept in assassinations. The mont anyone stepped inside the tower without preparation would get killed.
"Wait... aren't those people from our university?" Min-Joon asked, pointing at a small crowd near a subway entrance.
"They made it this far, huh?" YuWon chuckled.
Honestly, YuWon didn't think they would last long enough to reach the tower. But to his surprise, they were alive. It seed they had opted to settle temporarily inside the subway station, likely because they couldn't enter the tower.
"Should we—?" Soo-Ah asked YuWon.
Since YuWon was leading them, it was only right to ask him first before making a move. YuWon looked at the guards and then at the familiar faces.
Since they survived till now, they must be sowhat useful. Besides, YuWon wanted to learn more about the situation. He looked at Soo-Ah and nodded.
"Fine, let's et them if you want to."
