The Regint Leader is out? Creutz brightened at the news the First Squads vice commander, Lil, brought. As soon as he had ascended from Tartarus, he requested to et the Regint Leader upon his return to the Fantasy Regint.
However, Lil had told him not to expect too much because the Regint Leader was focusing on enlightennt and it had been a while since they had heard from him, too. Still, Creutz said that hed wait until he received a response.
Yeon-woo seed to have no inclination to visit the Fantasy Regint. If people needed him, they could go find him. In the anti, it was ti for the Fantasy Regint to decide on their stance when it ca to Yeon-woo.
From what Creutz had seen during the ti hed stayed by Yeon-woos side, the Tower would be centered on Yeon-woo in the future. Whether they wanted to beco his enemy or his ally, they had to take an unambiguous position. Personally, he thought it would be better to beco Yeon-woos ally, even if it could have dangerous consequences.
He had waited patiently for a response until he heard news about trouble erupting on the fiftieth floor. Then, a sense of urgency overca him. Fortunately, Lil had shown up with her response just in ti.
However, Lil seed displeased. She knew how important this ti was to the Regint Leader, and she thought of Creutz as a pest. Yes. Since youve been so insistent, he said that he would make ti for you and co out of the training area for a while. You have to use the ti you have with him wisely. You fully understand how important this ti is for the Regint Leader, right?
Creutz nodded solemnly. He had seen himself how much the Regint Leader had prepared to go into secluded training.
Then follow . Ill take you there now.
Creutz followed Lili to a cave which had multiple security systems in place. You could only reach the center after passing through several complicated procedures.
As much as possible, refrain from speaking impolitely to the Regint Leader. Our leader seems significantly exhausted already. When they reached the last checkpoint, Lil activated the equipnt on the wall as she warned him. The wall of the cave moved to reveal a man sitting quietly in lotus position with his eyes closed. He seed frail, like a scholar, but the aura he emanated was out of the ordinary. The man slowly opened his eyes, which flashed through the darkness.

[All restoration is finished.]
[Mother Earth has been designated as a virus, and all remaining energy belonging to her has disappeared. The stage can now function properly again.]
The trembling stage of the thirty-sixth floor quietly settled down, almost completely normal after the ss caused by the clash of two great beings.
Ugh. It had to be a guy like him.
The Guardians looked fatigued. They had run around busily restoring the stage without any sleep because the impact of the descent of Allforones true body had been so great. The thought of it happening again left them even more exhausted. Now that Yeon-woo had accepted the Black Kings powers, Allforones wariness of him ant that their conflict would continue to affect the Towers fate.
Where has Yvlke gone?
Where else do you think? He probably went to chat.
Ugh. Hes bold.
Yvlke walked sowhere, ignoring the other Guardians words as his ohyohyo laugh bood. Up ahead, a shadow with a vaguely human form was getting ready. It was difficult to see it clearly because a fog obscured most of it.
Its quite a sha you cant die even though you wish to.
Allforone turned around at Yvlkes words, pausing his preparation of Shukuchi. A brief mont of silence passed between the two of them. Yvlke could feel Allforones sharp gaze, but he didnt show anything and maintained a smiling expression. However, that smile didnt reach his eyes.
What are you saying?
Ohyo ohyo. What else would it be? Im wondering if the ti you have been longing for has finally co. Isnt the Black King good enough?
I dont know what youre talking about. With those words, Allforone disappeared. He had sensed the pressure coming from the creator gods and progenitor gods growing stronger on the seventy-seventh floor now that the wall was weaker.
Yvlke smirked as he pushed his monocle up. Hed noticed the quaver in Allforones voice.

While the Gluttony Emperor was clashing with the Head Bishop and Yeon-woo was escaping with Edora, Duke Tuan Tien and Prince Domo led his bodyguards out of the battlefield.
Things seem to be going according to plan for now. Duke Tuan Tien nodded with satisfaction. The first step of the plan to find Kalatus grave he had set up with Yeon-woo was now completed. The Lion Alliance, the Elohim, and the Devil Army had moved to catch Yeon-woo, but the tides had turned when Blood Land jumped in.
With the involvent of the Gluttony Emperor, White Dragon would be pulled in one direction, Black Dragons focus would turn back to them. On top of that, it was apparent that the Fantasy Regint and One-horned tribe were ready to act, as well. With all these groups involved, it was certain that other groups would also begin to take interest, and chaos would spread in an instant.
The flas are being ignited in different directions. If news of Kalatus grave is added as a fuel to the fire Duke Tuan Tiens eyes flashed. Everything will explode.
The plan Yeon-woo had proposed was very simple: to bring as many competing groups to the fiftieth floor as possible and push them towards Kalatus grave. It was only a matter of ti before the grave would be found. Their strategy was to create a confusing situation before that happened. Theres no better place to confuse ones judgnt than in muddy waters.
They could take items for their gain and cause internal strife in other groups. Blood Land may have been cornered, but now, they would not only turn the tables, but also find the legacy that Kalatus had left behind.
Duke Tuan Tien calculated that they had a sixty-percent chance of success. However, there was one thing he was concerned about.
bender
Haha! Master, did you see that? I never imagined a guy like that would ever exist! He didnt just clear through the floors in the forties but is toying with all these different forces! Fathers insight is amazing! Prince Domo had turned from Yeon-woos hater to his fan in the span of a day, and he wouldnt stop singing praises of Yeon-woo. Seeing soone close to his age with such abilities didnt make him jealous. Instead, he considered Yeon-woo his role model.
His Highness is soone who will lead Blood Land in the future. He should be envied by others, and the fact that he envies soone else Duke Tuan Tien thought of Yeon-woo as soone who needed to be brought in as Blood Lands subordinate. If that wasnt possible, he needed to be removed. Right now, he was still weak, but he was too dangerous to simply keep as an ally. We just need to squeeze out what we can get. Thinking that he needed to scold Prince Domo soon, he quietly stood. With a light breeze, Rebecca appeared faintly above him and silently scattered again.

Oraboni Edora hugged Yeon-woo tightly. Normally, she would have reined in her emotions and only smiled in happiness, but the past few days had shaken her composure. Why hadnt she noticed that the Lion Alliance was following her? Getting injured was one thing, but the fact that she was a burden to Yeon-woo bothered her.
Yeon-woo wordlessly patted her and hugged her back. He wanted her to know that everything was fine now that he was there. Yeon-woo had missed Edora and Phante, too. He was grateful that they had agreed to beco his wings at once without any hesitation.
He felt grateful that hed managed to catch up to her and apologetic because it seed like she had gone through this horrible incident because of him.
But technically, King Temper is the reason why our pretty Edora got hurt, mm? Our master is definitely second to none in causing trouble for... As Shanon blabbered on again, the players of Demon Beauty Castle all looked surprised. They had only ever seen Edoras cold expression, so it was their first ti seeing this side of her.
Edora had received her nickna, Demon Beauty because she was rciless against enemies and always seed as distant as a flower growing on the side of a cliff. It was a strange experience to see Edora acting like a woman in love.
Demon Beauty Castle, am I right?
They jumped to attention as Yeon-woo said their na.
Y-yes. Chatura nodded on everyones behalf. She was tense with nerves. Yeon-woos appearance on the battlefield flashed through her mindhe had toyed with the Head Bishop, who was like a natural disaster and used his familiars to stand against the Elohims Seven mber Squad.
The Hoarder and Demon Beauty were both part of the New Stars, but from what theyd seen, the Hoarder had already surpassed that level. He could stand shoulder to shoulder with high rankers.
Although most of them were rankers too, they were definitely not high rankers.
Thank you for helping Edora all this ti.
lightsvl m We only did what
Now, go back.
Chatura frowned slightly. What
From now on, Ill protect Edora, so your help isnt needed.
The expressions of Chatura and the other Demon Beauty Castle players stiffened. What are you talking about?! Weve sworn our loyalty to Demon Beauty during!
From what I heard, Edora didnt pay too much attention to you. You followed her and created an organization on your own. Didnt you do it for your own convenience?
They were speechless.
From now on, Ill accompany Edora, so you should go back.
Chatura ground her teeth. In other words, he was telling them to get out of his sight because they were useless. The problem was that he was telling the truth. Demon Beauty Castle was an organization that ford without Edoras permission. And after the attack by the Lion Alliance, their organization was destroyed and couldnt be rebuilt. They were nearly worthless now, but Chatura didnt want to be pushed away like this.
She and her comrades followed Edora for different reasons, but they all shared the sa passion to be with her. For a mont, she looked at Edora. Edoras eyes had darkened, and Chatura couldnt read what Edora was thinking. Theyd seen that expression many tis, but what did it an?
If Demon Beauty tells us to disappear, then we will do it, since we followed her even though she didnt give us permission. However Chatura paused, then continued speaking again after glaring at Yeon-woo. Even you cannot ignore what weve done to protect Demon Beauty. We risked our lives to get here, so I think we have the right to that.
Chatura made clear she would only follow Edoras commands. The others seed to agree, and they glared at Yeon-woo with hard eyes. Yeon-woos eyes glead behind his mask, but they didnt budge. After a while, Yeon-woos eyes curved, and he chuckled. Psh.
Chatura and the others frowned, not understanding what was going on.
Shanon. At Yeon-woos call, black shadows next to Demon Beauty Castle popped up. The players moved for their weapons, imdiately on guard. They thought Yeon-woo was trying to chase them away with force.
However, Yeon-woo only said to Shanon, Follow them.
Chatura said, What are you doing?
You still fall short, but Ill give you a chance.
What!
Take him with you and gather your scattered mbers. Ill make my evaluation of you after.
Chatura belatedly understood what he ant. He was planning to reorganize Demon Beauty Castle into a proper one. Understood.
Although their eyes blazed with determination, Shanon grumbled. But why do I have to go? You have Hanryeong and Boo, so!
Its your punishnt for talking nonsense. You said Im King Temper, hm? I should live up to my title, then.
Dammit. What are you doing, morons? Move faster. Youre slow as snails! Shanon released his anger on the blaless Demon Beauty Castle as they moved to look for survivors.
Yeon-woo pushed his hair back as he watched. With this, the new ga board is set. Itll be complete if those guys co
Just then, a breeze fluttered and Rebecca quietly murmured sothing to him. After becoming a complete spirit, she only expressed her thoughts and didnt speak. Yeon-woo raised a corner of his mouth. Shed brought simple news: The Spring Queen has appeared.
White Dragon and Waltz had co to the fiftieth floor. The stage was set.
Oraboni.
Yes.
Do you know Kalatus?
When Edora said the unexpected na, Yeon-woo quickly turned to her. How do you know?
As soon as their eyes t, Yeon-woo discovered sothing asleep inside of him. A naless Channel suddenly strengthened and took over his consciousness in an instant.
Swoosh.
When he opened his eyes again, a colossal dragons shadow that stretched hundreds of ters looked down at him. Nice to et you, dear speaker.
